Help Request - HTC Hero CDMA In Bangalore

[digitalnirvana 646]

Hi all,

Problem:

I have a CDMA Hero which is bricked. It can be repaired through a hardware box using JTAG process, but the box currently does not support the CDMA Hero, only GSM is supported. I got this info from a repair guy in Bangalore who tried using RIFF box.

Solution:

The box can be made to support CDMA Hero if it can read a working CDMA Hero so that it has the required configuration files.

Help requested:

If any kind member in Bangalore has a working CDMA Hero I request him to come with me to the box guy, they will just read the working phone using the box - no damage assured. This will then help the box support the CDMA Hero and unbrick my phone. All I need is you to spare some time for this. I will ensure transportation.

If anyone is willing to help please PM me to discuss.

Thanks for reading.

PS if anyone knows of repair options outside Bangalore I can courier my bricked phone there too.

Hi !!

What exactly is the problem with your phone currently ??

Hi Gaurav ji,

In summary bootloader is corrupt due to my mistake in trying to flash ENG SPL on low battery.

Here is the sequence of steps:

1. Bootloader was S-ON.

2. Flashed nand unlock file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955.

3. Bootloader became S-OFF. The HBOOT version remained unchanged. I am not sure but think it is 1.47.0000.

4. Tried flashing a custom splash screen got ADB error remote not allow.

5. Read that for flashing custom splash screen there should be ENG-SPL (version numbers were given in a video on unlockr.com).

6. Tried to flash Darch's ENG-SPL from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765237. Got the icon of arrow out of box. Then the screen died. I presume the battery died but not sure.

Current status:

1. Power does nothing.

2. Power + volume down does nothing.

3. Power + volume up three vibrates (plus if phone is on charge then the LED

turns off, battery pull and reconnecting to charger LED turns on though).

4. Power + menu five vibrates (plus green LED blinks)

5. Power + home does nothing.

6. Battery LED works i.e. remains red then changes to green.

7. Screen does not turn on.

8. RUU does not work as PC does not detect phone.

9. ADB devices does not detect the phone.
