Bad 6.5 Flash. Bricked?

djh816 · Aug 28, 2009

I was flashing ookba's Ozone 6.5 rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=552887 and midway through it errored out and my phone won't boot now. I think I made it even worse because according to the tricolor bootloader, I still have SPL and not HardSPL. I can still bring up that screen fine but when I try a normal boot, it simply sits at the HTC logo screen. According to ookba's forum post there are no original ozone roms for vzw so does this mean that mine is bricked for good? :'(

i tried to use the romupdate program with that verizon ozone rom but it won't work. it just sits there with 0% on both the computer and the phone until it errors out and i'm back where i started. do these ones still need hardspl to flash?

ur device wasnt ready to be flashed man..

if it didnt show : SPL-0.39.Hard, then u werent ready.

we said time and time again, even when the ROM was released that you needed to be sure that the above in bold was showing on your tri color screen.

sorry bro, but you now have a paper weight.

:[ i assumed that when hardspl showed 100% without error that it had worked.

i feel ur pain bro..i bricked testing the SPL's for us. I have the insurance and im super cool with the REPS at my local store, so the swap out was quick and easy!

hopefully u signed up for the same and got the 6 buck insurance.

I'm in the same boat man... Hardspl flashed to 100% so I thought it was installed (I have no vision so I had no way of actually checking the boot screen...), and my phone is stuck at the htc screen after it vibrates...
I have the $8 insurance, but I'm scared to bring the phone to a verizon store for fear of THEM finding out. I'd much rather try and reflash a signed stock rom image.

If you have the insurance it doesn' matter.
Just call the insurance company and say you dropped it in the toilet.
Then drop it in the toilet !!!!

pretty much..dont go into details about what happened just tell them something as mentioned and u will have a new device at ur doorstep in about 24hrs!

one of the perks of paying the $6 or $8 dollar insurance.

Bad Flash problem..

I had the same issue with HardSPL not completeing the install before attempting to Flash. Now my Ozone will to boot at all. My problem is that this is a company phone and they will be upset. How do I create a "gold card" to get it to take a ROM or has anyone located an official ROM that will load without HardSPL being in place?

you could probably make a donation to jockeyw and talk to him about it if he's got the time.

silly mistake on ur behalf, especially with a company device. As ive mentioned, i encourage ALL to read thru the ROM update and SPL thread's carefully, it saves a headache, and possibly ur job! and if ur still unsure, ask a question. The reason i say this and stick with it specifically in ur case, is because i recently had a co-worker get let go for bricking his Blackberry Tour that was supplied to him no more than 2 weeks ago. Again good dude, silly mistake.

Now i dont now much about it, but from what i understand a "gold card" as forementioned, is out of the question for an Ozone. I belive this was covered already in one of the ROM threads.

That's not good. I just bricked my THIRD Ozone guys. I flashed the hardspl and although my sd and sim cards were out it still didn't flash I think. I'm back where I was a month ago.

+, I activated my screen reader on the device. The screen reader uses your MEID and ESN to allow your license to be on the phone. If I were to take my ozone back (yet again), I would have to pay $200 to the company in order to have them "reset" my license in the system.
I am desperate for a signed rom. Can hardspl be flashed on somehow with the SD card?

another one bites the dust..

It seems the HARDSPL is not working for a high % of first time flashers.
It would make sense that this be taken care of. i would encourage any one who wants this to be fixed to make a donation and specify your wants and needs.
There is some confusion whether to sda unlock before running auto.bat and ruu hardspl.
it seems to me that the jumpspl is not correctly working so the hardspl is not working. the jumpspl sspl bypasses the security temporarily so that the RUU can flash the rom with hardspl. this is not completing correctly and bricking phones. Ill try to get new phone from local store tomorrow and retest process to see if i can come up with where problem lies.
