I just have the worst luck. Ive been looking into buying a cingular 2125 for awhile, researching and discovering the relative simplicity of unlocking and such. that was awhile ago, and ive purchased a few other phone instead since then. Anyhow i finally got one yesterday figuring that the methods would still be working, but no such luck.
Does anyone know how long spv-developers.com has been down, of if\when it will be back up?
And to make matters much worse i decided to try an alternate method ( aka http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412139 ) , and have seriously messed up the phone i believe.
upon booting phone with sim installed i get the "Data Crashes. Please contact your service provider"
I was able to flash over different firmwares but the same error comes up, so i went back to a cingular firmware ( not sure if its the same as the original version ).
From what i can tell the cid block is messed up?
I am wondering/hoping that is spv-services ever comes back online it can help me out with this. If anyone has any solution or help or answers, it would ease my mind so much. Thanks in advance
Update
I went ahead and paid $36 bucks to imei check and it fixed it right up.
Then i checked spv-developers and its back up again. lol
Whats the odds of that? but i dunno if spv-services would have been able to fix it anyhow.
The luck continues.
Hey guys. I have a chance to pick up a mint sensation locally for a cheap price. The seller is under the impression it is bricked. I've read through the threads for a while now but thought I would ask for some help/advice. The seller told me that he bricked the phone by trying to unroot it but has also said he was trying to "flash boot or something." He has made it clear that the phone will not turn on or show any signs of life. He has tried multiple batteries as well.
So, is there any way to ensure it is bricked? I had thought that maybe he messed up flashing a new rom.
If it is clearly bricked, what would be a good price to snag it for?
Would it be possible to buy it and contact HTC in regard to the warranty? What would this cost?
Thanks in advance,
PS; I have read about the inablility to charge after flashing CWM. I'm not sure if CWM was installed or not. I will ask that asap.
Sounds like an inappropriate file was flashed to hboot, in which case it's dead. Short of jtagging there is no way to fix it.
Thanks for the quick reply globatron. That sucks to hear that it probably is fried. Would the HTC warranty cover this type of repair?

No, they wouldnt as it was from user error.

Do you know for sure they wouldn't cover it? All morality aside it could be argued that it wasn't user error considering I'm not entirely sure what the seller did to it.

Well,morality aside you can always tell them that the OTA update bricked it.If you are a TMOUS customer you can try and contact T-mo first.They are usually easier to deal with than HTC.
NYCguy I read through your thread discussing your dealings with Tmous. I had thought about contacting them but they have been a huge pain for me lately. (Almost to the point of ending my contract). I shot HTC an email out of curiousity so I should hear back from them soon. I've had to replace a phone before via T-mobile and it was pretty smooth. I just don't want to do it all the time as this may look odd on their end.

Well I bought my "bricked" sensation. I spoke with the seller for a while and it seems he had rooted it, received notification of the OTA, and attempted to unroot it. He didn't give me specifics on the procedure he used but I'm going to read as much as I can, depending on when my monster child will let me, and attempt to fix this thing. I read about the battery tricks and will try those tonight. Any suggestions as this point guys?
Well after reading and tinkering with this thing for a while it seems I have the dreaded qhsusb brick. I already spoke with HTC and it is under warranty until November of 2013. My new question is, Will HTC be able to tell the device was ever rooted? A rom was never installed so it should be stock. Seems the seller made a mistake in trying to go from s-off to s-on. Just hoping I won't have to pay much to have a new one sent from the manufacturer.
Thanks

Well if it's a QHSUB brick that means the phone is truely DEAD.If you can't boot into bootloader,can't charge it and can't connect to a PC,then i don't see how could they tell if it was rooted or not.There is no way for them to tell.You just tell them you bricked it while trying to install the OTA update,or do as i did and contact T-mobile.
Good luck!
Thought I would update this thread for anyone who may stumble across it at a later date. I went ahead and sent my bricked phone into HTC. They repaired the phone and sent it back. I was suprised to see that they didn't send me a refurb.
I have to say that HTC were very easy to work with were quick in returning my phone.
Are there any fix I can do at home,yet?
My one x has been bricked for months...
Or is J-Tag my only option?
Anyone know how much it costs total ?:/
I bricked my phone by installing this kernel...
My phone hadn't turned on since ; doesnt charge,nothing. Im really pretty sure I didint do anything wrong.
I remember seeing a post saying someone else got bricked with that kernel.
Ive tried this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966850
Seems to detect my phone (windows make a sound when I plug it in via usb) but I dont think this fix works for my situation .
Cant risk it anymore,so Ive already decided to leave the modding world. Never again. I have NEVER bricked or even broken/lost a phone.
I really loved this one too. It sucks. Totally discouraged.
I tried searching around for recent related threads but its just hard and pointless going through all the replies with no answer,
They really should make it so that people can choose the best answer ,like in Tom's hardware.
Your only option is a jtag repair, that isn't like to change.

JTag seems like your only answer. If it's been bricked for months, I doubt something new will come up from it. Don't leave the "modding" world please

I am thinking to buy nexus 5 for very cheap prize.... But it has a problem and i would ask you guys if it is software related or hardware....
When you turn it on, it shows google logo then bootanimation and than just black screen... I am familiar with flashing things and there will not be problems with me if it is software problem really need fast answer...
Thanks in advance...
sorry for bad english.. :cyclops:
I can't say for sure without seeing or playing with it myself, but how cheap are we talking, I mean it is a Nexus 5 lol, check it out, buy it and if flashing a new ROM or stock image doesn't fix it I'll buy it off of u for the same price, I'll use it for part's or fix it myself

Hello, my mom really wanted a new phone fast because right now she uses an old samsung and it's has some problems but for her phone is in need because of work... So in eBay we found an awesome deal! OnePlus One auction, and we won that phone only for 37 pounds. Phone has to come tomorrow, but I was scrolling through eBay and I wanted to read some feedbacks on seller again so I went to OPO information and then I readed that phone doesn't pick up any network. So, I know that mother will kill me because network will not work. So I wanted to ask, is there any way fix that fast without any parts changing? Just change something in settings and it will work?
Are you serious dude?
Ever heard of "If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is"?
If it was that easy to fix then it would have been sold for far more than £37. Basically, no chance of fixing it in settings I'd guess, but you could try flashing a factory ROM image and praying lots.
Not sure until you actually get the phone and see what's wrong with it.
Soo, phone came and any sims doesn't work on him. So we took it to the repair, they told that they will see if they can fix it. So we waited until next day, they told that they will try to fix it until today. We came to the repair and they told that they changed the sim tray and problem still exist and they said to us to wait until tomorrow if phone gets any better they will call us. But my mom wanted to know, can be that problem can't be fixed at all?
Does the phone show IEMI in Settings/About Phone/Status/IEMI Information? "do not post your IEMI" just let know if does.
For the price you've paid inc the repair you could have got a Nexus 5 in good condition on Ebay.

I think so that it shows IMEI, I can't check right now because phone is teardowned and I saw that antenna was corrupted so we gonna changed it on Thursday and what about nexus 5, we could get it but only 16gb but my moms needs more memory so .
And more about IMEI, last time when I checked IMEI was in place but I don't know what about last time when I restored the phone after flashing ROMs .
If you have TWRP installed try backing up the EFS partition. That's where the IMEI is stored.
There's no more problems after antenna change, thanks everyone who tried to help!
