BAD Flash when updating radios, who can I pay to fix this?
Or anyone know of a way to fix this?
It appears to be bricked
When I flashed the ATT_Radio_Rhodium_4.48.25.95, I didn't rename it to RUU_Signed
Now I get nothing when I restart the phone, just a black screen.

is your phone a gsm rhodium or does it have a cdma module too?
Both I believe
This happened to me last night. I reflashed the ROM to fix it. I used MightROM which is FRIGGIN' Awesome if you ask me
In order to do that though you need to be CID unlocked though but basically as long as you are in the bootloader/bios then you can flash the new ROM from your PC via the USB. If you need any links to that stuff I can post, but I am not quite sure if this would be part of XDA or not (Is MightROM xda? Idk? PPCGeeks??)
You can also try holding down the Call answer and Call end buttons at the same time with the power button then put your battery in. This didn't work for me though, but I had to do this anyways after I flashed the ROM so it might work.
edit: Sorry I misread. I am not sure about the Black Screen. Might work though. I was in the bootloader/tricolor to reflash. Maybe your LCD is dead or something for all I know. Sorry Mate.

oh god then you flashed a GSM radio to a CDMA worldphone (just because it has a GSM module doesn't mean you can flash a GSM carrier radio to it... nope!!)
if you plug it into the PC does the PC try to install some USB driver?

It is simple. You obviously have a CDMA device. It doesn't matter if you use it on a GSM network. Your device is and always will be a CDMA device. NEVER try to flash ANYTHING GSM on it or you run the risk of permanently bricking it.
To fix this, you will need to grad the latest ROM update from either HTC's website, or your carrier's website. Put the device into bootloader mode by holding down the power button and pressing the tiny reset button under the battery cover with your stylus. Once it boots into the tri-colored screen (bootloader), you can then run the ROM update utility that you just downloaded. This will restore everything back to stock settings and you can try again. If you have already done Hard SPL, then it will NOT be overwritten, so don't worry.
Update
I cannot get into the tri-colored screen (bootloader).
How long do I need to hold in the reset and power button?
More than 1 min?

You can't get there, because you're doing it wrong. You need to hold down the volume down button and then press the reset button once. This gets you into the bootloader.
Update
Holding down the volume down button and then pressing the reset button once, did not work for me.
How long do I hold the volume down button for?

Do you have power in the device? You need to have a battery in it. Also, the reset button might not power your device on. If your device doesn't turn on when you press the reset button, then just hold the volume down button and press the power button once instead. That ought to do it.

I flashed Hard SPL 1.34 then upgraded the radio to 25.05 then put on Bepe's 0.95 ROM
It worked for a while, then started to crash and needed to press the reset button to boot it up.
Now it won't move from the Touch Diamond startup screen when I boot it up, then turns off. Can't hard reset, and can't enter bootloader.
Any ideas? I just suddenly did this, also, it doesn't have the original vendor ROM on it so if I send it back, what's the chances of them getting into it and then saying a big FO because I messed with it?

What happens when you try to enter bootloader mode? Have you tried removing the battery for a while?
bootloader is volume down and reset yes?

Yes, korrect
diddly squat, not even any ROM id's coming up on boot screen. I think it's bricked
Hard reset is volume down + enter (round key) and red reset button. Keep down the first two until you see the reset screen

Can you be a little more descriptive? What exactly happens? Does the phone reset at all?
Did you hold volume down for a few seconds? Just pressing it while you hit the reset button is not enough. You need to hold it down until the tri-color bootloader appears. That's usually around 5 seconds.
Edit:
Clarification: You press volume down and hold it. Then you shortly push down the reset button with the stylus, while still holding the volume down button. You can release the volume down button after the tri-color screen appears. (or after 10 seconds if it's really not coming up)
Should it come up, you can use the chance to flash another ROM. If that's giving you trouble, see the link in my signature.
Ok, here's what happens
If I press the power button, it vibrates, Touch Diamond comes up, no ROM info, stays for a few seconds, disappears, phone is then off again.
Holding volume down, pressing reset button, nothing happens, phone doesn't power on, volume down held for 10 seconds, nothing happens
Holding volume down and action button, then pressing reset button, again nothing happens at all.
I successfully hard resetted the phone with the official ROM, but since installing Bepe's 0.95 I hadn't attempted a hard reset, but I had rebooted the phone successfully before this problem occured
Okay, in the off state the reset button will not function.
What you could try is turning it on and immediately afterwards follow the bootloder-procedure.
Also I did a quick search. The following threads might or might not be related and help you (I didn't read them, too late for me tonight):

I realize they're for different phones, but that might not make such a big difference in this case...
also, can you confirm that you successfully flashed hard-spl before this? as in, you manually went to bootloader and saw that it had changed to hard spl?
Try this....
might seem stupid but your phone is also acting as it would with a 99% flat battery........phone just starts then dies.......
Stupid question......put it on charge for a couple hours...you never know....it might be the problem you have
Well I came to start it up this morning after leaving it on a shelf all night with distain and it booted up fine.
So I'm going to flash the official ROM, and other stuff back to factory and send it back. there's obviously something wrong with it somewhere.
Thanks for all the help guys, let's hope my next diamond is a bit more well behaved.
phone does not boot up
Hi, i got a prob with my phone, when i power it on it gives me that display with the 4 colors(red,green,blue and white), i have tried hard reset but it does not help, can anyone assist.
My friend got a MP6900SP, and he tried to download a rom and flash it.
Now the phone is bricked, can't power on.
When connect to PC, nothing happened.
If I press power + volumn down + reset, PC will found a device.
No bootloader screen (tri-color), screen is totally blank.
RUU can't found the phone.
I did some research, but got confused.
Most post are for Verizon phone, not sure if they work the same for spring.
So, I am just checking to see if there's a way to revive my friend's phone.
Thanks all for the help!!
try to update via SD card
search for updating the bootloader via sd and also updating roms via SD
sounds like you may need to try updating the bootloader via SD first
good luck

Have you pulled the battery and let it sit for a minute then put the battery back in and tried to power on?
Blank screen and cant power on? sounds like something far more than bricked from the ROM he tried...
If you can get the screen I would try the suggested route with the flash from bootloader/SD card technique but if you cant get a screen at all no matter what and swapped out batteries as well (have seen a bad battery cause similar issues and may be a coincidence this is happening during a flash attempt)

To enter bootloader:
Power+Camera, then reset. No volume button.

Thank you!!
bootloader mode flash was successfully revived the phone.
Not sure what "power + volumn down + reset" mode is, but PC does show fine a data interface when I press them.
Anyway, thank you all for the help!!
You guys are good!!

i dont know how to put my mp6900sp in bootloader mode i tried the above still doesnt work only the start up screen and then it stays on
I don't know what the OP was saying about the volume button.
But just to be clear: if you are stuck at the bootup screen, having problems connecting and/or need to flash via SD card.....you want to quickly press and hold the top Power button + right side Camera button, then the bottom Reset button. The phone should display the rainbow screen and will say "Serial" on it until you plug the phone into your computer, when it should change to "USB".
For more help see this post and because I recommend an NFSFAN ROM this thread and this thread.
Long story short i rushed when rooting my GN because im pretty familiar with rooting android phones. I did not realize you needed to modify a file to be able to boot into CWM other than using rom manager.
My question is, is there a way to get the stock image on the phone, or, use my computer to fix this? Because currently my phone is in a bootloop (I installed gummynex improperly, rushing and forgot to wipe data, yeah i know i asked for it.,..)
If i boot into recovery all it does is let me turn the phone on, i cant select recovery or anything.
HALP!
Find stock Google images and flash them with fastboot.

Thanks but one last question, I can only boot the phone into the stock bootloader (whatever the default thing is when you hold the power button and volume down) and in this, the ONLY option it gives me is to start the phone, nothing else
Am i going to be able to push files to my phone in this?
I think this may have just been a MAJOR blonde moment for myself. in order to access CWM and ****, you have to hold both volume buttons and the power button? Because i was just holding volume down and power....

Hi,
My One X was working fine with my custom firmware for about six months but then it suddenly bricked itself by booting into HBOOT and now the up volume key and power button both move the selection down while the down volume key does nothing. When I turn the phone off it just reboots into HBOOT. For it to turn off I have to wait for the battery to run out, but that doesn't help with anything.
My computer doesn't seem to recognise the phone either, even though I haven't really changed anything since I rooted it and flashed the new rom. I have no idea what to try now, any help?
No one has any advice? Does this mean it is completely bricked?

maybe your volume buttons are broken, have some problem here in the forum try open the HOX and see if they are not stuck or durty

I thought that was unlikely but I finally got around to testing anyway and the phone booted up properly when I unplugged the ribbon which includes the volume buttons. I guess the down volume button must have been stuck on which is why the phone continually booted into HBOOT and the down volume key didn't do anything when it was pressed. I guess the way the menu HBOOT menu is programmed meant that pressing the other buttons didn't do anything but upon release it registered the down button again.
Anyway, I replaced that part of the phone and it's all in working order. Thanks for the tip.
Sorry for this very noobish question. My concern is, i cannot go to factory reset screen... No matter what i do, how many times i restarted and remove the battery, i cannot pull up the screen. Volume down + power button only makes my phone boot in safe mode... Im preparing to root my phone so im trying every possible way to save my phone if just in case something went wrong, I just want to make sure that it'll work before i begin rooting my device, but its not working... am i missing something?
resethard.com/lg/g3/
My device is LG-D855 EU/Asian 3/32gb version. Not yer rooted.
I just activated the developers option but didn't do anything or touch anything with it.
Uhm, just tried this kitkat thing when you tap 4.4 couple of times..
Used LG suit and ran back up for my device.
sorry i manage to solve my noob concern, didn't heard the "release and re-hold power button" after logo appears. should have watched the video again before posting here. wasted time composing non sense thread. xD

You have to press power and volume down, until you see the LG screen then let go and press volume and power down again.
