really, this is why HTC implemented a Nand Lock in the first place.

People who don't know what they are doing and have no business even checking the USB debugging box on the phone.

If the phone booted, it is not bricked at all. If you were capable of following simple instructions that any child could follow you could have fixed the phone. Hell you wouldn't have been in this situation in the first place.

Do us all a favor, return your Android phone, buy an iPhone, delete your XDA account. It will really make everyone's life easier.

Sorry for the angry outburst, but the stupidity and ignorance of some people just turns my stomach, and I have no sympathy for these fools!
[G2 and Desire Z General] j.books:
I'm pretty sure that if you can get into the bootloader your device is not bricked. that goes for the guy above who thought he bricked his G1. pretty sure that wasn't bricked either.

put the original ROM on the sdcard, get into the bootloader, follow instructions on how to flash, and you'll be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mleet1980:
If I can just get my fone back to normal I will leave the forums. I had no idea what I was doing in the first place rooting android. But I did root my palm pre. Sorry to waste Ur time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jcX4ever:
It was bricked.. You just cant get away from the G1 Logo no matter what key to press or any combination of keys you press no matter how long or how hard you press. Once you put your battery in, you will go straight to the G1 Logo and will stay there forever.

It was the Danger SPL that cause it... Not updating the Radio before doing the next step.... BTW, that's why they call it Danger SPL...

Fortunately, I fixed this by buying a real cheap G1 with broken screen and cannibalizing the mainboard.

I'm just telling that it is very possible to brick a phone.

I haven't read the G2 root steps yet... but I am very sure that it's not harder and trickier than the G1.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blushrts:
Amen, the forum is full of people who are screwing up their phones and then lying at the store to get a replacement phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mleet1980:
I never mentioned a replacement. I just need assistance getting mine backup and running. An idiotsguide or video would be most helpful. I just wanted to fit in and b 1 of yall. Like i said earlier sorry for wasting time. I admit fault.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
mleet, have you tried what people in this thread have suggested? Reflashing the original rom?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mleet1980:
no I can't even mount my sd card. I have no idea where to start. But I think I have adb cause I had it with my mytouch slide.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZeroSX:
If you can't mount your sd card on your phone, buy an el-cheapo usb flash drive reader (make sure it can support sdhc of course) and a microsd to sd adapter. As long as you can get into HBOOT you're not bricked. Pull the battery and put it back in, hold the VOL Down button and power it back up
[G2 and Desire Z General] Veggies:
Fastboot update pc10img.zip

Try that from fastboot if your sdcard doesnt work. Best of luck to you. Oh and use the stock pc10img
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
You sir, are a ****,

I remember you flaming before, I think its you that should leave the forums..

We all have to learn, WE ARE NOT BORN WITH ANDROID KNOWLEDGE!

Your rude, offensive and you dont stand for the same ideals that this community aspire to.

JD
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gr8gorilla:
why are you so lazy that you can't do a simple Google search. So technically challenged (read as dumb), that you can't follow a simple step by step guide on how to "down grade" and reflash the stock rom?

People on here tried to help you and you just ignored the suggestions. I read your posts before flaming you. If it had looked like you made an honest effort to fix the problem and still couldn't, then I would have tried to help you. By your posts it was obvious that you skimmed a topic or two, then gave up and called for an exchange.

You sir, are exactly the reason that HTC implemented the r/o emmc in the first place. It is cheaper to do that than to replace even a single morons phone. A large majority of people are responsible and know that it is very very hard to brick a phone. I will admit that flashing HBoot, and radio are possibilities but using Visionary it is unlikely that your phone was bricked.

It booted but got stuck at the splash screen. You put a stock rom on sd card (use a card reader) put sd back in phone, boot recovery, install update.zip. Phone boots, then you try again.

The process is really that simple. And you couldn't complete those simple steps. And you want my sympathy. GFYS. You are like one of those people that while driving on the interstate, cuts another driver off, almost gets into an accident, and then is angry at the other driver. Admit it to yourself and everyone else, you jumped into the deep end without learning to swim.

You made a mistake but it was easily correctable. Don't blame me or anyone else for your laziness, ignorance, and or stupidity!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gr8gorilla:
If you need some help, you an PM me and I will see what I can do. My angry outburst was not aimed at you, but at the fellow with the dog avatar who "softbricked" his phone and then did a warranty exchange.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gr8gorilla:
Actually I do stand for this communities ideals. The problem is that all of the knowledge is available. There are probably like 30 threads in development for this phone. Is it too much to ask that people read those before they take potentially harmful actions with very expensive devices?

The problem is that people are lazy. They don't want to learn. They want one click root, and then when something goes wrong, they don't have a clue how to fix it. Then they cry, blame the devs, and do things like warranty exchange a phone that has nothing wrong with it.

People like you enable this behavior.

I do not in any way mind answering questions. But if you are about to drive my car and ask me which pedal is the gas and which is brake, I am probably going to tell you that you can't drive. A similar approach should be taken with things like this. If don't have ADB installed, you don't know what the command line is, or you don't know the difference between HBoot and radio, then you should likely do more research and learning before you begin flashing anything.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blushrts:
Sorry mleet, my post above wasn't in response to you, you are trying to fix your phone. I guess yesterday I had read enough of the posts from people who goof up their phone and then take it back and claim "the OTA update" did it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] j.books:
well I'll give you this, judging by the amount if effort you've put into hating on noobs, you're not lazy
[G2 and Desire Z General] mleet1980:
Ok let me start from the begining. I tried to use visionary to root my g2. It received the ota update before hand.And then my screen froze at the green HTC logo screen and wont go any farther than that. I am able to get into fastboot by holding down the vol down button and the power button.

I tried using the file I downloaded here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13215958/G2....09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip

I named it PC10IMG.zip put it on the root of my sd card booted into fasboot it went through the normal motions then I got this message. Main version is older! update fail! press power to reboot. When I reboot it goes back to the green HTC screen.

I also tried renaming the file to update.zip and doing it that way just to try it out no dice this way either. So im back to square 1.

Please help if u can.
[G2 and Desire Z General] renn9420:
You actually went into Hboot. You said you have adb correct? Well paste the PC10.img that you downloaded in the folder named tools in adb. Mine is c:/androidsdk/tools. If so then take out the battery and then put it back in. Now press and hold the track pad and press power. That is fast boot. Connect your phone to the computer with usb. On the phone fasboot usb should be highlighted. Now open command prompt and type cmd. A dos-prompt should open up. And go into your adb folder. Better yet pm me and I can either call you or gtalk you exactly how. That's if you have adb installed on your computer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mleet1980:
Any 1 help please
[G2 and Desire Z General] vtek9:
I haven't gone wrong with ADB before. Only when I started to trust those one-step app that I ran into bums. Nexus one root/rom flash was flawless doing it manually. G2 perm root manually using rage/adb was also a breeze.

I'm curious to what command did you use from ADB to flash that zip files?

Hi.

I attempted to s-off my desire, i downloaded alpharev cd image and burned it on a cd. The problem is when i boot my pc the cd loads for about 5 minutes and says theres been an error and asks me if i want to reboot. What did i do wrong?

Im running windows 7 ultimate x64 if that helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
have you tried burning it again at a slower speed? works fine with me on my laptop running windows 7 x64
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Just download VMware Player, or Mac Virtual PC, and boot the ISO in a virtual machine.

You will need to connect the phones USB connection to the VM.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboyrazor:
Right, got it to boot up now. I erased the cd and burned it again. Now tho im facing another problem, when i plug the cable into my desire i get some errors saying something like - "unable to enumerate device in hub 3" :(

EDIT - i got it working now, the usb cable i got with my phone seems to be malfunctioning so i tried another one and it worked!

thanks for the help guys ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTaylor927:
I installed miui on my desire (0.11.5) to tinker, and didn't like it much. Obviously, before I did this, I did a nandroid backup with clockwork mod running from my SD card. Version 2.5.0.7.

No problems at all with the backup, tried miui, didn't like it, so I cleared everything and restored my backup.

Only, when I did, I had the HTC splash screen come up, and instead of the boot animation, I got a black screen. My desire wouldn't respond to button presses and I had to take the battery out.

My phone isn't bricked, as I was able to reflash miui. It just wont boot my nandroid backup of my previous rom (Stock rooted froyo).

Does anyone know what's wrong? I really want to be able to restore my old backup.

Thanks!

While you are on the main page for contacts hit the menu button press more and it will give you a long list of all the contacts. Also if from the home screen you click menu/ settings/ accounts & sync and click on google you can tell it to sync with your contacts. Do this again for Tmobile and you can tell it not to.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excarnate:
True but irrelevant.

True but irrelevant.

The problem is that contacts are tied to EITHER T-Mobile or Google and T-Mobile is the default. All those contacts that were on my SIM card? They all went to T-Mobile. Maybe there is a way to move things around (and en mass), I hope so. Anyone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epsix:
I've found this while googling:D...works for me.

From People - Menu - View. Check Phone and uncheck Google. Then Export to SD card. This creates a vcf file of all the phone contacts.

Go back to View and uncheck Phone and check Google. Then Import from SD card. This imports the vcf file back in under Google.

You may have some duplicates if contacts were in both places. You can simply delete them. You should then be able to sync with GMail.

Once this is done, you should be able to also go back to Menu - View and reverse the check marks again and delete all the entries under Phone since they're now under Google too. Then uncheck Phone and recheck Google, so going forward you're only dealing w/Google contacts.

If you run into problems, you still have the vcf file on your SD card if you need to re-import. :rolleyes:

the plans that qualify for the discounts are talk 450, talk 900, messaging 450, messaging 900, everything data 450, everything data 900, everything data family 1500 and everything data 3000. just know on the everything data plans you have any mobile anytime calling which means you can call any cell on any network in the US unlimited.

I've been obsessed with these scores for about a month and while I haven't looked into it too much, the scores I have come across don't seem as high. It's not like I even attempted to get these results just the usual tinkering. I remember back in my BlackBerry days everyone would compare up times. This is even more addictive lol.

One thing to note is that you need to make sure that you don't have it plugged in and charging. It's known to boot on its own when you do that. I'm not sure if that is a bugged feature or not, but I also have Bacon Bits installed and can shut down fine.

Although, my phone stays on all the time.

Previously I had posted my concerns about being able to return my evo to stock after rooting it, and thankfully several people helped answer the questions there.

I have a Mac and an Evo. I want to run unrevoked on it, but now I am also reading that not only do you have to run Unrevoked 3+, you also should do a "simpleroot" first, and/or run Unrevoked 1.0? Not to mention the ADB process.

Yes my eyes are about to fall out, and yes I am more confused than I was when I wrote the previous post about getting my phone back to stock.

Any of you masters out there that can help us Mac folk out with a complete walkthru? not to be dumb, I have hacked my mac in the past, and I am generally not so chicken ****, but MAN is there a lot of conflicting info out there...and I am not trying to be obnoxious and so "noob"-ish, I know everyone's time is valuable.
