Bricked Phone from Advanced Settings = Glyph Cache 32KB + File Cache Auto (Energy ROM

[kern417]

it sounds like a hardware issue man, not advanced config. people have been using it for sometime without issue.

werent there some old threads about the reboot loop? i've never experienced it personally but those may have some info as far as solutions

ERASE block 768 FAIL !!!
Write 0xFF start page=0x6000, total page=0x3A000
Format BINFS end

Both of your posts indicate the same thing. There is an issue with the phones internal storage. Its failing on block 768. This is noted in both of the posts that you made. I believe you will need to get the phone replaced. I do not beleive this is because of the ROM or the application that you used.

F.A.T.M.T.I.D.Q:
(Frequently Asked TOO Many Times Infuriating Damn Questions):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: "After task 28, I get this output in MTTY: Total Bad Block in CE: x"

2: "After task 29, I get this output in MTTY:

ERASE block xxx FAIL !!!
ERASE block xxx FAIL !!!"
(where x is a random number)

This has been asked 100+ times in the Diamond thread so this is the final time I will answer:

IT MEANS NOTHING..NADA..ZIP! I have not experienced ANY problem with this output...Please stop asking!
------------------------------------------

According to the THE DEFINITIVE MTTY thread on XDA the bad blocks mean nothing, guessing that they get marked as bad in the BINFS file table and won't be used, that's all, same as FAT bad blocks.

Still hoping to find a solution, just wish to engage more experienced folks to inform me about more direct diagnostic and possible repair procedures since I've exhausted the limits of my very limited ROM flashing knowledge.

However, I'm on vacation in a foreign country and my wife's eBay purchased phone goes Tits Up on the second day so replacing it is not an option in so many words. Best I can do is tomorrow give her my identical TP2 and import her contacts.

Have you tried removing your sim card then hard reset and/or put it in bootloader then flash shipped 6.1 rom?

I tried the Sprint 6.5 ROM but I'll give the older 6.1 ROM a try after the download finishes. I don't know why the 6.1 ROM would be any different than the 6.5 one but I'll try anything at this point.

I have an identical HTC TP2 that works and I'm wondering if doing a memory dump from one phone and loading it to the other might somehow revive the broken phone. I have mtty working but don't know enough on how to use it or if it will even work.

Didn't work either.

Trying some more things.

1. Relocked SPL to SPL-0.63.0000
2. Cannot go back to HardSPL with manual method, flash stays at 0%.
3. Stock ROM - Sprint WM 6.1

Slamming head against wall now. Getting to the complete end of all possible things to flash to this device.

Back to magic of mtty.

Cmd>task 2a
Format ALL start
backup SPL OK
backup MISC configuration OK
SPL start start block=351, total block of CE=3745
ERASE block 768 FAIL !!!
Write 0xFF start page=0x57C0, total page=0x3A840
restore SPL OK
restore MISC configuratoin OK
restore MFG configuratoin OK
Format ALL end

[JakFrost]

Task 2a - complete format of all memory, except for the SPL didn't work. I flashed the Sprint stock ROM and same result, tried going to HardSPL with RHODIMG.nbh but can't do it anymore, that like it matters since if I could get into WM OS I could do it from there.

I checked the info 8 output on my good TP2 and it is very similar, only big differences are that it lists itself as "HTCSSuperCID" and doesn't show Bad Block 768.

I searched for "reboot loop" on PPCGeeks and XDA forums and couldn't find anything useful for my situation since my phone won't even show the red radio version codes during boot-up, while other people just had reboot loops when starting the OS or after flashing a bad GSM ROM. I can't even get that far.

I was hoping to make this TP2 last at least another few months until the dual-core phones came out in force so that my wife and I can switch away from these slow and old phones to something newer and better running Android but it seems like she's going to be doing an upgrade after we're back from vacation.
