Is My Mogul Bricked?

firefurby · #1 (**permalink**) 03-05-2009, 12:10 PM

I have a Mogul and need lots of help. The current situation is that the phone will not boot at all. I can hard reset it, I can enter into the bootloader (which is no2Chem 2.47) and I can flash ROMs to it. However, when I try to boot the phone, the black HTC logo flashes for about half a second and then I get a black screen. Anybody have any idea what I should do or why this is happening? Thanks for the help!

Are you flashing via SD card or USB? When the black screen comes up, what info is displayed?

I have tried flashing via USB and SD card. When the black screen comes up no info is displayed. It instantly shuts off pretty much.

EDIT:
Just tried the following:
1. Downloaded HTC's latest Sprint ROM from their website. (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.56.651.0_RS_TITAN_3.42.02_ SPCS2.04_PPST_0718_Ship.exe)
2. Put the phone into bootloader / tri-colored screen.
3. Ran the EXE and let it flash.
4. Phone rebooted itself, but still didn't boot.

Interesting note, when I ran the EXE it said there was no current version listed for my phone.

This is not sounding good. You might want to flash a stock ROM. Sprint is your carrier?

You might need to relock before running the RUU. Check the Upgrades Forum for the NueSPLRelocker.

EDIT: Here is the relocker: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30560

How do I run the re-locker if the phone won't boot at all?

Ok, that won't work. Try flashing this ROM. It is the 3.35 Sprint ROM for unlocked phones. Then hopefully the phone will boot and you can relock to then flash an upgrade.

Downloaded that EXE and ran it. Flashed just fine, but no luck on it booting still. Guess it really is bricked.

Sorry to hear that. When the OS did not boot, that was a bad sign.

Meh, it's not a big deal at all. I already have the same phone on Verizon. I was just seeing if I could get this blasted thing working again, so I could do some beta testing for WinMo 6.5 or Android development. Many thanks though! You rock!
