IPL and SPL = brick

[nottoosmart]

Well today I tried to just do the IPL and SPL flash from the tmobile rom. Apparently, thats a bad thing. Thank god for Warranty. Bricked it almost instantly. That will be the last time I try that.

Nope -- sorry. Warranty won't cover bricking/flashing your phone with anything other than an official ROM.

Your best bet is to try to get it back into bootloader and reflash. If that can't be done, you've acquired a really expensive paperweight.

Define "brick". You aren't saying what it does or doesn't do (ie: what exactly happened to make you say its bricked). You also haven't said if its CID unlocked (I assume it is since your sig seems to indicate you were running WM6). You also aren't saying if this is a G3 or G4 device (the IPL/SPL you list in your sig would indicate G3, but you have to be sure of that).

Try turning the phone off (if it still powers on and off. Or remove the battery if you can't get it to turn off, then put the battery back in once its off). Then plug in the USB cable, press and hold the camera button, then press the power button to turn it on (with the camera button still pressed). If you get the rainbow screen with the USB indicator in the lower left, you can then try using that to downgrade to a 2.x ROM (T-Mobile 2.26 shipping one is good) or all the way back down to the Button 1.05 ROM.

Provide more details and one of the gurus may be able to assist. And details of exactly what you did to get to the point you are at would be very helpful too (either to assist you, or to help others learn not to do whatever it is that you did if it is truly "bricked").

It will not turn on. It is a hardware issue. And according to HTC within the warranty, the only issue they will not cover is any physical damage caused to phone. I had it boot to os then it just turned off. Never to turn back on again.

Basically I extracted the IPL/SPL from the TMobile 2.26 os. Tried just flashing those but I dont think i set them correctly in the nk file. As for power, It gets none. So i cant even get it to turn on.

Its a G3 fully unlocked. Ive been working on writing my own version of WM6. I might wait now after this little deal.

Well, after getting my replacement today, I tried to power it up and it wouldnt. Took the new phone and battery to Service center. Apparently what happened is that the battery shorted out and killed the phone. Battery was covered under accessories warranty. So hopefully tomorrow i will be up and running.
