After bricking my phone with... lets call it the Haykuro method, I tried using USB, Battery in and out, shaking the phone in the air, crying for being stupid after not refreshing my phone in the correct order & many other suggested methods.

I can confirm.... non worked. I pick up my new phone tomorrow so might keep away from hero for a day or two lol
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
I heard if you sprinkled your phone with tears from a 3 year old ethopian boy it will unbrick any g1.
[G1 General] secure_6:
Welcome to BRICKEd... thanks for having me...

Ok... so my phone is stuck on the G1 screen... from reading all the posts trying to see if there was a possible solution I realized my phone may not be (completely) bricked????

I can NOT get into recovery BUt when I press <camera>+<power> I am able to get into another screen... bootloader I think???(3droids on skateboards) I press the <back> button... nothing happens.

HOW DID I GET INTO THIS MESS? I was trying to go from the CM pimped out recovery image to RA's recovery image because it had more features that I needed (ie..dalvik cache...)

I downloaded RA's recovery image... placed in the root of my SD card.

from the terminal... I typed

$su

#mount -a

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img

#reboot

.. pressed <home>+<power> and wallah... I'm stuck.

Again... I have tried doing the search on my own... I have to admit... there was alot of bickering back and forth in here so I only read about 10 random pages... I even did a general search on here and on google.

Please constructive suggestions are welcome...

If its bricked, its bricked I can accept that... Im beyond warranty but do have insurance.. just hoping since I can get to other screens there's still hope for MY SITUATION.
[G1 General] jjjackson56:
not sure if your really typed this but you put a H in it which there is more then likely no file on your sd card named this. It more then likely didnt flash recovery correctly but dont quote me.
[G1 General] Diceman4:
This is assuming that you have the SDK installed (adb and fastboot) correctly

get into bootloader

plug your phone into your computer

press the back key on the G1 (make sure that it says fastboot and not Serial0)

go into terminal and navigate to the directory where the recovery image is (on your computer)

I would then rename it to simply 'recovery.img' to make it less likely for a typo...

in the terminal type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

assuming that everything is installed correctly it will flash your recovery image.

If you don't have fastboot installed search for a wiki, there are several really good ones floating around!

Hope it works out for you
[G1 General] secure_6:
Diceman... 1st... thank you for responding so quickly...

I am able to get into the FASTBOOT (it shows the 3droids on skateboards.. above it it says FASTBOOT....

I plugged the G1 into my computer via USB... from there Im stuck... 2b honest.. I dont know what ADB/SDK is... I have gained access to the terminal only thru Terminal emulator via the G1 when it was working... I am assuming you meant access the terminal via my computer???? Can you please explain the steps in more detail when and if you have time???

I am also sending a copy of this reply directly to you so as not to futher clutter this thread... but maybe thru all of this... we.. or should I say you... will or may have helped others as well ;)

HELP!!!

i just got a g1 a month or two back and it was still on android 1.0 for some reason so i tried to update it to 1.5 using guide from allshadow. com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5688. everything went well but after wards it never goes past the screen that says android. the phone does start in recovery mode if u hold home + power so i don't think it is bricked but i don't what to do now can any one please help me????
[G1 General] detroitmak:
Alright, so my situation is similar. I am a complete noob. I bought my rogers htc dream off of ebay, it was already rooted and had cyanogen installed. I used CM updater to update, but for whatever reason the update failed. then i tried loading another rom on top of it, and now its just all a mess.

Now i cannot do anything. Home + power = nothing, camera+power = nothing... all that happens is that the rogers logo appears and that is it. Any suggestions on what to do, and please explain in lay mens terms.

thanks!

PS: i did the USB and camera thing to no avail.
[G1 General] markshield07:
Most likely your phone is hard bricked ...that's what happened to mine yesterday but I bought another one from craigslist for a reeasonable price.
[G1 General] tribalartgod:
Not so much

My apologies for saying it like this...But this DOES NOT WORK. It was merely a fluke and you got lucky somehow. I bricked my G1 last night of my own stupidity and tried this method to fix it. NO GO!

My dumb self, not thinking, decided to install the Danger SPL before doing the Radio update. Yes I know, it's a N00B move. I definitely know better as I have rooted and unrooted my phone countless times. Needless to say, called TMO... Told them I plugged it in before bed, and when I woke up, it was stuck on the splash screen and all my clocks in the house were flashing. ;-)

^^^This is a GREAT excuse, and worked like a charm. If you use it, play dumb!!! I was actually asked in the chat session if I rooted my phone, and my response was "Like in a garden?" Needless to say, I have a crap backup phone I am using (which I recommend everyone get one) and will have my replacement in 7 days.
[G1 General] :
Actually, this has been proven to work before. It's kinda a random chance. And, the correct term is now "softbrick." However, I've seen numerous posts where people were able to overcome a softbrick by doing this or plugging it in and pulling the cord out numerous times and finally got it to recognize. People have also run the command to fastboot the new radio and have left it plugged in and eventually the device is recognized and finally restored.

However, these are all chances. While they have worked for some, they do not work for all. These procedures can work, though.
[G1 General] vixsandlee:
hahaha thats brilliant :D :D
[G1 General] tribalartgod:
Mouth... Meet foot

@r3s-rt ...my apologies on this matter then. I was unaware that this method has been PROVEN to work... and my ignorance to proper terms... (I'm used to consoles and not phones...not a total n00b, but still haven't got my balance yet.)

@martin_secretary ...my apologies for doubting these methods just because they didn't work for me.

UPDATE: Chatted with TMO again and lied...ahem, cried to them about my "soft bricked" phone...Needless to say, if you whine enough, they speed up the process...Needless to say, after boo hoo ing for 30 minutes I was given a UPS tracking number with overnight service...FOR FREE!

So, you can almost bet the moment I get my replacement...I shall have a rematch! hahaha
[G1 General] ezterry:
If you have a bad recover/boot image (example run 'fastboot erase recovery') not just a wrong image (example ebi1 port when the system memory layout is ebi0)

The bootloader will fail to load the image into memory thus fall back into fastboot mode.

True Death spl type bricks have a good recovery image but the memory (ram not flash) layout with that spl + 1x radio is not the same as ebi0 so the spl tries to boot the kernel and the kernel crashes or infinitely loops unable to boot.

So it just depends on what you did to brick.. and/or a very lucky bad block.

Anyway worth a try to see if fastboot works before moving on. But probably not worth getting your hopes up in most cases.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING --- something beautiful.

To avoid bricks.

A corrupt/blank/broken recovery image will send the thing into fastboot mode..... so the final step before rebooting after setting up the misc partition for flashing SPL or RADIO is to CORRUPT THE RECOVERY PARTITION!!!!!

HAHA!! UNBRICKABLE!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
if you still have an engineering or death spl, you can just flash recovery from fastboot.

Boot your phone while holding the camera, then press back button, you should see "fastboot usb" on the screen. Download amon_ra's recovery (look for it in android development) and flash it doing "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.2.img". After it's done you should have recovery back and now you can restore your nandroid or flash another update.zip
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brizcorp:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cameraddict:
I don't, currently, sync my mail. But I do have other problems syncing with Gmail, for contacts and appointments.

1) It never actually synchronizes the first time I press sync (i have mine set to manual) I have to press it a second time for the data to actually sync.

2) Even if I make NO changes to any contact it always has a list of 20+ contacts it is updating (what is it updating??)

3) I stopped using HTC Favorites tab because all contacts in this list get screwed up everytime I sync with google, mainly loosing their photos and rearrangin how I have names displayed (reverts only these few back to standard last name first)

4) DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use Tmo My Faves if you plan on using google sync. If you do every time you sync through google Tmo will go through and change your my faves contacts back to how they feel they should be displayed, including getting rid of custom ringtones for that contact and their photo. And you will get a txt message for every change tmo did.

5) Evey couple of weeks it tells me a change on the server requires every contact, and or appointment, to be erased and re-synced! Terrifying the first time it happens, not knowing if you are gonna loose anything.

These are almost too much trouble to keep using google sync... and yet I persist with it, hoping these stupid bugs will be worked out.

I have since dropped my faves, since I have the good customer unlimited plan. And have stopped using the HTC favorites tab. Even so, I still get problems with some of the contacts that used to be favorites.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrassol:
WIll try again to use push ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] butler360:
It seems like Google is still working some stuff out. I had the same issue and another as well.

Apparently the HTC favorites thing stores some data in proprietary places in your contacts and so that causes problems.

Also, for me unticking "Tasks" for syncing has solved the problem before.

[Dash 3G, Snap General] htc_Tomi:
hello to all,

I had an ozone a month ago that had 192 mb of ram.

I had it bricked, and got a new one - but this one only reports 128 mb of ram.

What's the deal with this? Is my new ozone deffective?

They both report 111 mb of software ram - one said "os program memory: 68 mb" and the other one reports 16.4 mb. But both phones have 111.53 mb of usable ram.

Why is this?

Thanks-

Tomi
[Dash 3G, Snap General] djh816:
HTC still sites it as having 192mb of ram so I'd go back to whoever you got the phone from an explain the situation.

Source: http://www.htc.com/us/product/HTCOzone/specification.html
[Dash 3G, Snap General] htc_Tomi:
that is odd... But this would be my third phone replacement from Verizon. It's really not a "big" deal - but I find it weird that with the 192 mb ram phone the OS program memory was 68 mb and with the 128 mb one it was 16. So I'm wondering here if phones with 192 mb of ram have "bulk" ram or something - afterall, if it's 68 mb on those ozones, shouldn't it be 68 mb on the ones with 128 mb of ram? :)

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
the best thing is you have a look at the -=service manual=- and open up the device and try to fix it, or have a look at ebay, whether you find a new case with buttons, in case the buttons' pins are broken off.

Hi guys, I am pretty new to the HTC touch pro... but hate the alltel rom already. Is there a rom out there that has mms built in? I liked the mightyrom 4.16, super fast and smooth, But only sent pictures via Email.

Hi,

If you want to stick with 6.1, I would suggest trying Silence X Rom located in this thread: http://www.ppcgeeks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68403 specifically:

Silence X Medium Rom 6.1 Base

[May.25.09]

Windows CE 21046 Build 21046

[ *] Download Silence Rom X 6.1 Final <- this one:

I am using it for the moment and although I am on Sprint and not Alltel, I can see that if I go to SMS/MMS options -> Servers he has a setting for Alltel, Sprint, Telus, and Verizon. So you can just select which one is yours. It works like a charm for Sprint and I did not have to adjust any settings or install anything extra. I don't know if his other ROMs have the same setup or not, but I know this one does. Give it a shot. Good luck!

PS. And yes, with me having a 4 y/o kid myself, I know how important MMS is for the whole "ohhhh, that's so cute" factor :)

Hello Everyone,

I was curious as I cannot find a definitive answer to this. Looking at the specs page on HTC (http://www.htc.com/uk/product/hd2/specification.html), it appears that this phone would possibly be usable on a US carrier. I am wondering if using the method in the link below might apply to the HD2 as well. Before you ask why I don't just wait for it to come stateside...well, what's the fun in that?

[General Questions and Answers] jayseaz:
Yeah...I saw that. Problem is that I am currently with AT&T and am looking to switch to a CDMA carrier. Not too happy with AT&T or T-Mobile at the moment. =\
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
The word is that it will come to US carriers in The first quarter of 2010. The European specs suggest it will be to AT$T or T-Mobile.

Funny, I switched to AT$T a few years back because Sprint and Verizon really sucked.

After ten years with Nextel and then Sprint, my Blackberry's screen cracked and the hangup button stuck making the phone almost unusable. Even though I was 2 months before my contract was upgrade available, they refused to, after ten years with them, subsidize a new phone. Suffered with my phone for two more months and switched to AT$T, so far they have been great to me.
[General Questions and Answers] foopmaster:
Somehow I doubt it will come to AT&T, unless they are smart enough to see that this is the best contender against the iPhone. AT&T's monopoly with Apple makes them complacent and slow to provide their customers with alternatives.

I agree, I just don't see it happening. Part of the reason why I left AT&T (and my iPhone) was because of the massive amount of dropped calls. I finally got fed up and switched. But considering the amount of trouble they are having with the iPhone, I doubt they would pickup it's best competitor.
