bricked?
 

I'm sort of a nOOb with the xv6700, but not totally new to flashing phones/etc. Anyways I am having some really wierd issues with flashing my phone and don't know if I am totally doing something wrong (I have tried to read up everything I could on these forums), or if my phone is whack.

I just bought this phone last week used, with the standard verizon aku 2.2 on it and it worked fine (from what I could tell). The first thing I tried to do was use the new AKU off the HTC website to update it. It started then gave me a communication error and got stuck in the bootloader function. So I ran the rom update again and it completed successfully, I then unplugged and reset and it gets stuck. Nothing happens, it will not turn on or anything. I tried both hard and soft, with no luck.

I can still get it into bootloader mode and supposedly successfully install new roms, but they all do the same thing (I have tried a bunch of the ones on the forums). They all complete, but will not boot after I unplug and do the reset. Any ideas?

FYI, I was able to successfully use the Wideawake's AKU 2.2 Beta 2, but now that one won't even work.

Any help/ideas would be really appreciated.

thanks

This sounds like what happened to my phone. Mine was still under warranty so i sent it in to HTC for replacement (after reflashing a stock rom of course just incase). I don't think it has anything to do with you doing something wrong though. They ended up replacing my mainboard so it probably wasn't a software issue.

Did your phone work at all when you got it? If you can't get warranty work one suggestion would be to reinstall the stock rom a few different times. Unfortunately though, this sounds like one of about 2 types of bricking that could be permanent to the 6700.

crap, I just bought this last week too, I haven't even activated it on my account yet. I guess I'll call HTC to see if it ist still under warranty.

Thanks for the heads up.

My bad, I didn't answer your question. But yeah, it seemed to work fine when I bought it off the guy. I first got this issue when I tried to upgrade with the new HTC AKC. And the only rom I could get to work was the AKU2.2 Beta 2, but even that doesnt work now.

Crap!

I had the Same problem, where I flashed, and it would boot to bootloader mode, but nothing more.

I used this file: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/attac...bootloader.zip

From this post: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...locked-up.html

This resolved my issue.

Thanks for the tips.

wierd, it doesnt seem to recognize my usb port.

I get the error " Cannot open USB port."

How did you get this to work?

You need to disable USB in Activesync. Then it should work.

Have you tried that?

Yeah, I had done that and still got the error. Worked on a different computer.

But that didn't help. DAMN! They asked me to send it in, but I don't even have the receipt.

Flash it back to a stock Rom, and bring it into a store. See if they can help.

The exit bootloader program worked for me. Thanks!

(I had loaded two roms several times each, all stuck in bootloader)
