Hi all experts,
I am a newbie on this. I am in Canada, since here we dont have i780, so I brought it on ebay and didn't realize its not really an unlock phone.(been cheated) although is sim free but GPS and many other 3rd party app don't work. so i was looking for solutions and found your thread here.
I followed the flashing guide and everything seems to be ok until the russians rom is flashed. The phone turned off itself and cannot turn on anymore. I have tried holding ENTER and FUNCTION button, solf reset hole, and Start + End buttons to turn it on but it doesn't response at all.
I have spent my hard earned $500 on this phone and i am so depressed now... Please kindly help me on fixing my "not just bricked, but dead phone" or i have to save up for months for a new one... sigh..
your response is highly appreciated
Jack
I feel your pain and I had the same issue as you before.
Phone won't turn on after flashing and the mirage reported the flash was 100% done.
I suspect this is due to the samsung modem driver was not installed properly. I had forgotten to do a reboot after the driver install or it might be due to something else.
The way I fixed it was to send to ther service center as it is still under warranty. They had to replace some chips to make it work again and I think that might be your last hope.
thanks for your advise. I did install the samsung modem driver and did reboot the PC before starting mirage updater..... but somehow turn that way.
I brought it from ebay, do you think it can still be warranty? anyways.. gotta try my luck.
thanks tho
I just contacted Canada's samsung service centre. They said They dont have this model here in Canada, so cannot fix my phone.
Please, anyone can give me a hand?
What about a hard reset? have you try it?
try to re load the rom.. i am using HH1 for phone and HH5 for the PDA... works good... with the russian ROM PU (if i am not wrong) i had to load few times as the process stopped at 80% or so... and u can load the ROM from this thread without loading the PU rom..
i have the same troubled too~~
Dear all,
I got brand new HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 that is not locked.
The phone is DEAD and does not boot.
I tried vol+ and pressing power on.
The phone green led goes on.. and stays like that forever.
How is the recovery procedure?
I have done recovery procedure on my old HTC P3300 several times, but with this one, no success. Any help? Thanks in advance. (also I need original rom with english language if it is possible, please post a link.) Thanks again.
You ****ed it up. YOu tried a hardspl from a different device... BAD IDEA!! Sorry but you're screwed return your Touch Pro 2 to where you bought it from and see if you can get a new one but otherwise you're screwed

Dear all,
I got brand new HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 that is not locked.
I tried several times to change the firmware from German to WWE, because I do not understand German, but without success.
Then I applied raphael_cdma_vzw_hspl_035.rar because it does not accepted any other wwe firmware that I wanted to put on.
After that, the phone is DEAD and does not boot.
I tried vol+ vol- and reset the same time, and pressing power on.
The phone green led will bo on.. and stays like that forever.

you should have PM'd me for language change services.
now, your bootloader is probably dead if voldown+reset didn't work...
maybe the radio bootloader is still alive, but it would be quite difficult to unbrick it (requiring hardware tools) even if so.
You should consult the experts here before you try anything first, that is why we are here.
Dude! this a very expensive phone... handle with caution.
Now your phone.....RIP!.
Dear Cmonex, one question, as I have found, vol up + vol down + reset btn and then press power. Is this the way for entering the emergency mode, or it is something else (like you wrote... vol down + reset ) ???? maybee I do not enter the recovery mode correctly ???
Thanks for quick reply Cmonex , but thanks all also!!!

As Cmonex wrote,
Hold Vol Down (keep it pressed) and press the reset with the stylus.
This should take you to the tri-colour bootloader screen.
If it doesn't you have bricked your expensive device, the only way to recover is to get a new bootloader loaded via JTag, good luck getting someone to do that for you.
As is always stated here time and time again, read the information carefuly and if you don't understand ask.
Since you flashed a Raphael bootloader or rom or both ???? I'd say it's well and truly an expensive paper weight sir............ on the bright side though, you've learn't an extremely valuable lesson.
READ BEFORE YOU ACT.

Dear Beasty,
Thanks for the complete info.
I will try tomorrow morning first thing to enter vol down + reset, and try to upload new firmware. If it does fail, please give me info for Jtag pinouts. I have done until now flashing with jtag interface to satelite receivers, to linksys rooters but never to phones. However, I think that it will be similar because Jtag is Jtag . Please give me info about the Jtag if you have just for me to be prepared for tomorrow fight . Thanks. Regards.
What I want to know is why did the TP2 stock SPL allow digitalmk to flash an unsigned SPL (ie HardSPL)?
Are the SoftSPL hooks that close between the 2 phones?

I dont think any one here knows where the jtag pins are on this phone. You could always strip the phone down and be the first to know where the jtag pins/pads are...

probably just running SSPL bricked it.
(my newer SSPLs have a device model check but the cdma raphael package which he ran didn't have it)
I did something similar with my HTC Tornado a few years ago,
It was a lost cause, and I feel you are going to find the same.
its an expensive lesson to learn
Obviously, technically speaking you have voided your warranty... so you have a few options left:
Send device back to htc and play dumb *** not recomended could be classed as fraud?***
Find the Jtag pin outs and a method of flashing
purchase a new system board from ebay
break down the device and sell the parts on ebay
Cheers
Steve

JTAG not easy probably
I was looking a while back for the Titan JTAG points because I also have used it a lot on other devices and someone sent me one he had killed. What I found by looking around surprised me that there appear to be no JTAG at least not in the Titan that are lined up. Someone on another model did it long ago but looking at taking the processor off the board to get to some pads below to do it, made me give it up.
with vol up + reset + power on, it starts green led
My phone is dead, I tried to hold vol down and press reset, but nothing..
BUT WHEN HOLDING VOL UP + CLICKING ON POWER ON, IT Lights green led (left from speaker) and keeps lighting.
When press reset + anything (vol down + reset ) or anything led goes off and does not start. This tells that it is not completely dead .. but.. where from here ??
Any help from here??
Regards to all
It is pretty much dead unless you can find the JTAG pin outs. No other options aside from getting a new one.
I suggest you return your TP2 and "play dumb"..
Wap in in the microwave for half a second. Frys everything. Play dumb.

maybe radio bootloader still works but you'd need to build a serial cable to access it and even then it's not an easy ticket to unbricking
hit it with 12+ volts at the battery terminals, should fry everything and it won't look like you stuck it in the microwave. Say "I think there was something wrong with my charger".......
Are you Dutch, digitalmk? I ask because two different Dutch posters bricked their gsm Raphaels this week flashing that same verizon hard spl. It seems weird as hell that so many people are doing that all of a sudden. Where did you get the idea to flash it?
Hi,
My phone became dead too. It worked normaly, but while i was talking he simply turn off. I thought that is empty battery, but he was on charger for few hours. Red light is on ( when charging), when i try to turn it on he vibrate and get to HTC Touch Pro 2 logo with red numbers in right corner and then go again off.
Does anyone know what maybe be a problem?

When flashing my KS20 in emergency mode, after ~10 sec the LGMDP said something about an QCSBL writing error, or somethint li that. I pressed OK too early
Now my phone doesn't work, can't turn it on and no emergency mode. What can I do now?
Take out the battery,insert it and do a hard reset.

1)Wrong thread.Please do not post irrelevant things.
2)Download my guide and you will see how you can hard reset.But I cannot understand why your phone hungs up!I do not think this has to do with opera.I have opera and it works fine.
Help! My LG KS20 is dead!
I have tried searching, but nothing came up.
Yesterday while flashing, it said something timeout (1st time the bar runs across)
Now, I cannot activate emergency mode. I cannot charge the phone. There is no response, no light. Charging the battery full has no effect. Taking the battery out has no effect too.
Is there any way to fix this? My warrenty expired just yesterday

Very strange problem!Maybe your battery is dead Take out the battery and connect the mobile with the pc.If nothing happens then it is not a battery problem.Have you tried a correct hard reset?By saying correct, I mean holding the 3 buttons for many time until the leds flash and then flash out.Then you must release the buttons.
Thanks ibanezman for your reply...
Nope, nothing. Battery is fully charged (I have an external LG charger that was given free).
Nothing happens when I remove the battery and connect to computer. I cannot do a hard reset, because there is no LG logo, and no lights. Not green, red, or blue.
I can't flash in emergency mode, because holding down Internet Explorer and Power gives nothing. No usual green light. Laptop doesn't detect anything. Nothing in device manager.
Today while going through the logs in the LGMDP folder I came across this.
<AppName>Log For Web DownLoad</AppName>
<TIMESTAMP>20090908235324</TIMESTAMP>
<Date>2009-09-08</Date>
<Time>23:53:24.-473</Time>
<IMEI></IMEI>
<TIMESTAMP>20090908235324</TIMESTAMP>
<RESULT>FAIL</RESULT>
Notice there's no IMEI number? Could this mean anything?

I do not think this has to do with IMEI.Maybe you have lost your IMEI in the flashing process.But I believe your phone is dead/bricked
I really cannot feagure out any other suggestions.Maybe you should take it to LG Service.

I have same problem. On Win 7 64 bit, LGMDP do not see KS20.
What is the message that appears?
Link don`t work
Hi,
I try use the link for download the archive, but the link dot work....
You can fix this??
Thanks
PS: sorry for my english, but i am not very good in this language
Hey there
I'm new here and didn't know where I should cry about this problem.
I just dropped my phone and the battery popped out. Now I've got one of those "bootloops" I think you call them, that point where you get stuck at the LG logo blinking.
I think I got that bootloop because I modified a bit the "mixer_path.xml" to push my volume on the headset, if not, I don't know what happens. Now my question, what should I do? I don't mind if I have to do a hard reset, havn't got nothing important on the memory. But still, I can't do a hard reset with the hardware keys. Now my question, can I do something with that piece and a computer ? I read that you can "repair" it with LG PC Suite or something but I just can't find the button for repair . I can enter download mode if that's important to know but nevermind. Nothing else. Please help me asap.
Thank you
Greetings !
You softbricked it. Which variant is it? HERE is a guide for the Sprint version, but you must use the .dll and .tot for YOUR version of the phone.

I've got a spanish one, unbranded, European common I think
Hello,
Let me give some information on fore hand.
A few months back my phone suddenly decided that it was funny to give me an error about "Settings has stopped working". This wouldnt go away. So i just downloaded this rom: 0PKVIMG.zip.
This way i was able to revive my phone whenever it decided to show that message again. So i kept it on my external SD Card. In case it would happen again.
Today, it decided to show the encrypted screen for no reason(Phone was in my pocket.). After i entered my Decryption key (It did accept my Screen lock pin) It showed me the error that the data was corrupted.
I went into recovery(Had 80% of battery left) reflashed that rom. After it said it was finished it was stuck on the bootloader for almost 2 hours.(Sometimes it took it an hour to show the begin screen.)
So i decided to reset it with the Power and Volume up keys. My screen went black and it didn't turn on anymore. So i came home and connected my charger just in case.
Then the battery charging light indicator started to blink. Then i knew there was something wrong. So i took out my ExSDCard just incase. Connected my phone to my PC.
My PC recognized it as: RELINK HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 (COM5)
After a long time spending on google i found out that this is the "Download Mode" for the Qualcomm chipset/processor.
I downloaded QFIL with some package i found on here in an other Thread for an other Device. It was for an other phone so i thought well, it's broken anyway lets try it. Ofcourse it said SaharaFail because the files didn't match with my phone.
I tried going into fastboot mode. Won't go in there. Bootloader/Recovery won't go in there either.
I was hoping before i send it in that i could fix it myself with a bit of help from you guys.
Thanks in advance, i hope i provided enough information and i am sorry for my English.
I am from The Netherlands and my English isn't that great.
Kind Regards,
FastE

Well Quallcom HSUSB mode is the mode where you can send direc commands to the cpu in hex speak... i remember that from another phone... so you will only be able to revive it if you find the correct msm8939.hex that can start the download of a partition table and partitions.... i will be honest to you... this whole process is only for very high experienced onces and you will need help from other m8s owners ( you need dumps of most partitions )
so if you find that mprg8939.hex anywhere we can try to revive it.... BUT in 90% of cases your IMEI can not be restored so you cant do calls.... in 40% your emmc is so hard damaged that you cant use it....
there is a second posibility wich is not possible on every phone.... on i9300 (sgs3) you can revive such a phone by creating a microsd card with a partitiontable like the phone and all coresponding partitions so you can boot straight from sdcard... but this case is really rare

Thanks for your quickreply. I hope someone can provide me these files. The first phone i own that i didn't root or mess about with fails on me. Lucky me!
I was hoping i could find something in a RUU but my internet speed is very slow. (600kb old telephone line..) I was afraid it was pretty bad. Still can't figure out why these "problems" happend. It just suddenly appeared. And the zip on the SD card was a good solution but i think the EMMC was already corrupted when the first error occurred months back. Will this fall under warranty? The device has some scratches on the back. A few dents on the sides. But the screen did never crack luckily.
Again thank you and i hope i can get it sort off working again because my subscription will end in April next year...
With kind regards,
Erwin

if you never unlocked your bootloader and you are still in warranty send it in... i had a "sudden dead" emmc myself 2 weeks ago (never unlocked never rooted ) and send it in aswell ... they replaced it... but if you ever unlocked the bootloader the warranty is void
