[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
im sorry to be the one who has to be so direct, but ken buddy; gsm over cdma is a garunteed brick, not fixable. booting from the sd card? wow id love to see that thread. it doesnt mess with software, but actual HARDWARE. you need what? a new radio or a new phone.

...in other news, have any you guys seen the atrocity at KFC that is the double down?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
yea this has happened before, sorry to hear about your loss.

the phones are named the same just in real life they are very very different hardware. the GSM radio uses higher voltages and when you flash it it basically fries the hardware on our CDMA phones.

pretty much you gotta be really careful when your flashing stuff not to flash anything that says hero but make sure it says CDMA hero.

there are a few other threads about this and they all end the same way, a warranty claim "i don't know what happened i just woke up and it wouldn't turn on"
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisyoung:
sorry man, but nothing's gonna happen.

i've seen a few threads around few a couple times with the same thing.

flashing a gsm radio permanently DESTROYS your phone.

it fries the radio physically, its something physical and electrical. sorry man.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benitozilla:
i hate to jump in here, but if there is no ability in turning it on or off, and there is no power to the phone, would you be able to take it in like the previous post said and claim ignorance?

if they cant dig in the software maybe they wont be able to turn ur insurance away because of your rooting?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenfly:
im totally BS'ing sprint about the problem. (took a nap and woke up and it wouldnt turn on.) ill let you know what happens

One Possible Solution

Purchase Sprint's Total Equipment Protection for 7$, wait a few days then report your phone. they will replace it, most likely
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 702DROID:
made my sister wait 30 days :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
yeah they make you wait for a period now or pay more, i don't remember the details, but it's not 'that' easy. if you have a pre and can live with for the 30 days or whatever it is. it may be worth the wait.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
No. This is why it's hard to brick a Hero. You can mess up the operating system all day long...as long as you have recovery, you can reverse the issue.

But flashing the wrong radio is another story. You basically burnt out your radio button (GSM power requirements are higher than CDMA).

If you have insurance, take it to Sprint.

Once you get your replacement Hero, just remember not to flash anything GSM. Stick with the CDMA Hero forum (all these Roms here will flash safely on your phone).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraginasian:
You know, even without additional insurance the phone should still carry a 1 year warranty against defect from HTC. Even if Sprint won't take it, you are more than able to claim warranty service through HTC. While it is entirely their decision to cover it or not, it doesn't hurt to try. Repair centers will always give the customer beenfit of the doubt, shy of slapping a "bricked my phone from being a haxz0r" sticker on they should just repair/replace without much questioning.

have read of this? does it help
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
No, that won't fix it. If you flash a GSM radio to a CDMA phone it literally breaks it. Hardware fries, etc.

You can try taking it into Sprint. Tell them you woke up and it stopped working, you don't know why. They might give you a replacement. But in the future make SURE you know what you're flashing. That phone is literally fried, and can't even be refurbed (well, it can, sorta. But they'll have to rip the guts out and replace them).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
you didn't "accidently" do anything. you didn't accidently download it. you didn't accidently move it to your sdcard. you didn't accidently reboot into recovery and flash it.

As a rule of thumb if it powers up at all then 99% of the time it can be fixed you just need to know how.

If its not powering up at all then you normally are screwed.

Sorry man.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nighteyes_wolf:
specially when they have in red a nice warning that it is for GSM only......
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknee:
One year manufacturer's warranty through social engineering. This is easy, 3 steps.

1) Bring phone to Sprint Repair Center

2) Hold phone out for "techs" to examine

3) After techs cannot get phone to power on they will order you a new phone.

3b) If techs deny you (yeah right), go to next closest Sprint repair center and start at step 1 again.

this WILL work.

I bricked my Hero flashing a Radio. Something went wrong when it was rebooting, and it completely bricked.

Took it to a Sprint repair centre, and when they also could not turn it on, they gave me a brand new phone there and then. Just tell them that you attempted to update your PRL or something. tell them you spoke to the helpdesk and they advised you to go to a repair centre.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
OR...

You could make a new webisode of "Will It Blend"
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcharlesiv:
This would be the most "fun" option. After you try to blend it take it in to the Sprint store and tell them when updating your PRL somehow it blended the phone. It IS 4/20, maybe you'll get a stoner tech.

I bricked my hero too...

YES...I was just trying all kinds of roms and at one point, in recovery mode, flashed some radio that I didn't realize.

NOW. HERE I AM WITH A PHONE THAT WON'T EVEN POWER ON...

tried fastboot..NOTHING HAPPENED..

SO CONSIDER ITS PAPER WEIGHT????
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avalaunchmods:
well sorry for giving false hope. i assumed there was a power light and then you could restore the partitions manually. but there was not haha. at least you got a new phone!

^^^and yes your phone is fried.

but here is "some" info on what happens when you flash the wrong radio. if you flash a radio for GSM onto our cdma heros. the actual hardware is done for. the software begins telling the hardware to search for different signals and it is also looking for a subscriber identity module (sim card) that we do not have. and not to mention this forces the radio unit to search for signals well beyond its usual 1800mhz range. but anyways dont flame if a mhz is off im tired :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentmyhome1:
Hey..Thanks for your consideration. I do get the power light when i put this phone for charging. I tried to connect to my computer and it fails to recognize as phone but says unknown device. I tried to fastboot but didn't work. I got the replacement with a 100 deductible but still wanna try do something..appreciate if you would let me know. Thanks!

Hi all,

Sorry if this wrong ask :) since this forum is dedicate to HTC Device

Does anyone know if its possible to install an Android rom on the MotoSurf A3100?

Dualbot with WM it will be great.

Thanks a lot.
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
No, I do not believe there is any effort to port the Android operating system to the Motosurf A3100, or any other device in that product line. Because Android (and the Linux kernel it runs on) require decent hardware support for the system they are running on, none of the Android packages posted on this forum will work on your device either.
[Windows Mobile] Cranbone:
Ok, so I made a ROM using PPCkitchen and have since stopped using the ROm I created and have flashed several other ROM, but when I do, one of my custom boot screens always remains. I cant get rid of it; I have flashed the cell rom, Energy's and always the screen that shows radio and rom verson has that custom png file I used. I have even used task29 and the shipped ROM and still no luck. Anyone know how I can fix this in case I have to return it for warranty purposes?
[Windows Mobile] the_scotsman:
I think you need to flash a stock ROM from the SD card, this should replace it all back to normal.

Thanks for the reply...Ive done that, but its been so long ago that im not sure if I did it from the

Phone is OFF - Missing IMEI

I could not in any forum, needer dealextreame, solve my problem and more 3 users found with same problem.

After a few days with my phone working perfect conditions, he stopped making calls. The phone was in offline mode. When trying to connect, a popup appears asking "want to turn on the phone?" I say YES, he stops for a few seconds and back to OFF.

Looking for what happened in the configurations, I see where it should have the IMEI number, it disappeared!

Button then * # 2006 # to see my IMEI, then it does again the question: "Do you want to connect the phone?".

I put my chip in another mobile operator and is okay! put another chip from another operator on the phone, and same problem!

Removing the battery, it has the IMEI printed on the phone all right with 15 digits. I called my operator and asked if the IMEI is invalid or something, and it said no, that's okay.

Then did an update of the rom, using Windows 6.1 posted in pandawill

he did the update correctly, without errors, the PDA is working all functions: gps, internet, wireless, but when trying to use the phone, always the same question if I want to ON.

Sorry for the long post, but not yet get solution on various topics, what problem is occurring, and when I say I need to enter the IMEI, I respond that prohibited, but the IMEI is MY and my desire is make the system to recognize!

Can anyone help? grateful.

Hi 2 all,

My Touch 3G T3238+ cloam is locked & touch is not working @ all!

The "unlock" option is on the bottom L. but, there is no touch 2 tap it!! & I can't hard reset w/ any key combination.

Keys work 4 a new opened window e.g. I can answer a call w/ the keys but, they r inactive on homepage.

Also the power button does not turn the phone off!! can only remove battery!

When I want 2 install a new ROM from SD, there is no touch to choose an option!!

-------------------

@ last I could unlock this phone!!!

Mostly I though that the touch problem was due 2 software stuff, not that it was damaged itself.

While the phone was off, I connected it 2 the PC (vista, WMDC) --> Vol. down + green button + power => suddenly it showed a menu w/ sum options like "edit boot", "edit OS" & ... sumthing like the 3-color screen.

If it's not connected 2 the PC, this menu will NOT appear!!

Well,,,,, mayb this could solve the same problem 4 sum1 else.
