Fix a bricked phone

[callumj]

Hey guys,

I have the Bootloader all happy and running but after flashing the Radio (I did this because I thought it would fix random crashes and GPRS crashing) the OS just hangs in boot even after hard resetting.

How do I go about flashing when in Bootloader mode?

Cheers,
Callum

EDIT: I tried with the TTY app (mtty) but it fails to show a USB port. I noticed that Windows XP just sits on acquiring network address.

Hey.

You must deactivate AcitveSync --> "Allow USB Connections" and kill all ActiveSync Processes.

If you have Vista you need other Drivers. Search in google 'VistaRUU'.

You could Flash VIA SD Card from Bootloader, just try to search a little bit in google.

If you have installed in the past Hard SPL, you should be able to flash a new ROM from the bootloader screen. Simply choose Hard SPL on the installer.

I have a SIMILAR ISSUE I I have issues with an old Hermes not gonna get into it, but I gotta outta what I thought was my WORST mess ever. Now my 8525 boots (I have the Official AT&T WM6 ROM) see all the opening screens and BOOM it JUST HANGS on the TOUCHSCREEN CALIBRATION screen!!! Touchscreen is completely UNRESPONSIVE so are 90% of the rest of the buttons I can power off and use the side scroll Blackberry dial, and I think the Right SOFT KEY brings UP a USELESS menu, BUT I AM STUCK AT THE CALIBRATION screen no touchscreen I have done A Hard Reset 1000 times, I can connect via ActiveSync with my PC, cant Flash Anything though I get ERROR 260 So I just have a booting 8525 stuck on th4e calibration screen

If you've Hard SPLed your hermes, try the sd card method. 1st, you need to back up your card, format it fat 32 then copy the .nbh file onto from the rom of your choice. rename the nbh file to "Hermimg.nbh" then insert into phone. put hermes into bootloader and follow the prompts. this will reflash another os. Hope this gets you out of your pickle... cheers:D
