[REQ]Rogers HTC Bricked - Please Help (Advanced User)

[lukybandit]

Hello Everybody,

Let me start off by saying that this is the worst phone I've ever used. I had great expectations from this phone but never mind - I'm going to stick to my Excalibur.

This is the first time in my life that i actually bricked a phone. I installed a couple of cooked ROMs and everything went fine. I have experience with CID Unlocking and flashing ROMs. Anyways, all I did was try to flash back to the original Rogers ROM from the Original Shipped ROMS thread and that's when my phone got bricked.

I have searched and done everything possible so far and NOTHING WORKS!
So far I've done this:

1) I have tried flashing the Chinese ROM/Dopod WWE Asia ROM as their official HTC ROM's.

2) Done a hard reset

3) Loads into Boot Loader and the boot loader version is

IPL - 2.21.0002
SPL - 2.21.0000

4) Ran MTTY and i got gsecuritylevel=FF (which means install shipped ROM)
5) Tried running USPL but no luck
6) Tried installing Rogers ROM from the original shipped ROMS thread, still no luck as it gets to 3% and reboots

I seriously don't know what else to do. This is just ANNOYING!! Ive been sitting here for the past 4-5 hours trying to get this damn thing to work.

Is there a way to downgrade the SPL so I could flash a ROM?
Is there a free permanent CID Unock available?
Is there ANY WAY out there to unbrick a Rogers HTC TOUCH
(DAMN ROGERS !!!)

Finally, I'm trying the SD Card ROM Update method and hoping it works.

Mods, if you see this and know of a way to help me out, please do or anyone else who knows what to do so my life is back to normal, please help. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Ok, I tried the SD Card method, it says Checking SD Card Contents and nothing happened, all i see is a tri color screen. The SD Card is 2 GB, is the only file present on the card and it was renamed accordingly (the .nbh file).

Please help as I'm going nuts trying to fix this.

Best Regards,
lukybandit

Anyone at all?

I've done all the searching I could and everything I've tried so far has failed on me.

I can get into the bootloader, get into the hard reset and even can run a mtty session and no matter what I do, it gets stuck at the HTC logo.

In addition to this, all ROM's that I have tried so far keep getting the Error 270 (Obviously due to not being able to even temporarily CID unlocking it).

I did notice a lot of people have bricked their devices and I figure if i can get into the boot loader screen then at least SOMETHING can be done.

Here is what i have learned.

I have the Rogers Touch, and i said SCREW IT, and going to pick up an AT&T Tilt.. I already have 2 S621's, 1 Tytn 2, and i need another phone for my dad.

I had the touch for 1 week and had the same problem as you. Here is what i gather.

1. YOU CANNOT - install the original ROM if you flashed the incorrect ROM
2. Because there is no HARD SPL, i used the USPL, which on reset will result in a CID relock.
3. In this condition, the only way to reflash if you can't get back into the regular today screen is a custom SPL, by Olipro or something.

But Olipro (i keep forgetting his name), charges 75 GBP which equates to $160CDN or so. I bought my HTC Touch used for $200CDN. Makes no sense to fix it. So i am going to try and sell this phone to someone who wants to fix it for cheap.

Sorry man, i looked EVERYWHERE for a fix, and there was NONE to be found, unless you use this guy , who has succesfully fixed everyone elses phone.

Honestly, if my phone was worth alot more than $200, i would pay him with no issue, but because the fix is the same as buying the same phone again, it makes no sense.

[lukybandit]

Are you serious?!!!

So there's no way for me to fix this piece of shit? frig man.

I paid for this and now I can't fix it?

Can Rogers find out that I tried playing around with the phone or not? I hope not because It's been only 3 days since I got this and it's been barely used.

If there's a fix, please let me know.

That's not even worth it. If there's someone out there that can fix it, please help - Thanks

P.S: Thanks for your response.

Did you to a reformat/Hard Reset on phone first and then tried to reflash?

Worked for me once when i fucked up badly.

Reset Button and hold down Both call Buttons.

And maybe i should not ask this but you have removed both SD and SIM card?

I'm uploading a 2.26 Rom at the moment.

Doesn't Canada have Vogue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=389) devices like the US? (this is a real question i don't know)

Attached is a 2.26 SPL only.

How far does it get in the Flashing screen (45%)?

And here's Full T-Mobile NL Rom with 2.26 http://rapidshare.com/files/122419910/RUU_signed.nbh.html

Yes, I think I did do a hard reset but I will try again in 5 mins. It was a bad flash cause it stopped in the middle I think.

Yup Both SD Card & SIM Card Removed.

Im guessing the only way I could fix this would be - get the original shipped ROM but so far I was only able to find a dump and not an actual update installer.

My SPL & USPL is 2.21 - So what do you recommend. upgrading the SPL and then trying to re-flash..

Would the TMobile ROM work because my phones Rogers branded and no Canada does not have the Vogue.

In answer to your question, it doesn`t go more than 2-3 % and then gives me an Update Error (270)

ahhh...this is driving me insane.

Thanks so much for the help so far. Really hope you guys can help me out here.

The main thing is if it flashes SPL only in general or if it does the same thing.

You might even try just flashing the SPL 1.11.11 from Pof from bootloader.
Or just flash the original SPL.

If it doesn't I don't know a way of unlocking in Bootloader.

But more heads will pop up with some Flashing Nightmares experiences soon.

I just performed a hard reset and tried reflashing but still no luck. It gets to 3% then reboots.

In regards to what you attached, how do I go about doing it? Let me know. I downloaded the 2.26 SPL and the NL ROM.

Original SPL being Rogers (Can't find it anywhere except a dump)?

k I'll try flashing the SPL 1.11

- Any other thoughts, bro? Thanks!

[tramuyo]

Did u tried SD card flashing??

[lukybandit]

Yeah, I did.

I tried the .nbh from the Rogers Dump and it says Invalid Certificate. I tried this other .nbh which said Dead_Elfin, still no luck and the Dopod Asia :(

I'm so mad/upset and I've tried so many methods to fix it. Is there no way I can get the Rogers dump to work in any way?

Hey man!
Somewhere in this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352404) thread (2nd page) a guy refers to a ROM that revives your half-dead Touch, "if you trust him":rolleyes:!
But you don't have anything to lose at this point,
so check it out! The link to the ROM is still alive.
Good Luck!
Regards!

I tried that but it didn't work but I'm trying once more now. Hopefully it'll work.

EDIT: Didn't work, updates to 3% then reboots. Just Great !!! This is so annoying.

[Noonski]

Erro 270, wasn't that image corrupt error.

Damn Olipro can't you help a Mod out yous.

Threaten to ban his ass.

When you say Dumped Roger's rom, you prolly mean dumped Roger's rom, then repacked with HTCRT right?

And not the official full Exe installer.

yeah, i meant the dumped Roger's ROM.

This is the most annoying thing I've ever had to deal with in terms of owning all my phones. I am selling this phone or returning it back the moment I fix it.

And I'd threaten but he hasn't done anything lol

I hope he does help me out.

i think its time we make it clear to everybody that XDA means SHARING to help everyone out and not to ask for money in return for something. XDA should only be for those ppl who can work hard for everyone without asking for money.

[lukybandit]

This phone was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. I'm sick and tired of this already and I still haven't been able to get it fixed.

I tried everything that these guys told you to do, NOTHING WORKS.

We have an operator branded device and do not have an ORIGINAL ROM to load in other than a DUMP.

Thats why we are stuck.

I am looking for someone local GTA that might charge less, but yes your TOUCH is fukked unless you are willing to pay OLIPRO $160CDN to fix a phone thats worth $200ish.

I am buying a TILT today, its not worth the stupid touch to fix.

What a waste of money that was. I am so happy my TYTN2 and my soon to purchase TILT has a HARD SPL to it.

yeah tell me about it. I'm so pissed off, it's not even funny.

Waste of money and I just don't know what else to do. I've tried about everything there is.

This sucks.

More than pissed off, I'm pretty upset.

If you do find someone local, let me know. Thanks

I argee to a point.

But XDA has grown out of what it used to be.

I can understand part of the motivation though i do not share it.

Dude, just call Rogers tech support and tell them your phone doesn't turn on.

I had the same problem a week or so ago when I made a little flashing mistake with my Rogers Touch.

They sent me a replacement phone (took about a day) and a shipping bag to send my dead phone back in.

[lukybandit]

Just got off the phone with Rogers Tech Support.

Told them, its been 4 days and how it resets and after I performed a hard reset, the phone's stuck on the main screen and doesn't get past that. They marked it down as defective and said just return the phone.

Finally, I'm just gonna wait for the new iPhone and use it on the side for personal use and just stick with Excalibur.

Anyways, Thanks everyone for the advice & the help.
