Can you access HBoot?

With the phone off, Press and hold Power + Vol Down. If you can access the HBoot screen you can get somewhere.

BTW, what version HBoot were you trying to load?

Were you rooted before you tried flashing things?
 
Can you tell us what your phone does now when you turn it on?

yes im at the bootloader

screen s-on
hboot 2.10.0001
radio 2.1500.11.19
now my battery voltage is low
i got to step 13 or14 where i installed the 1st update and the radio failed

no I was doing my 1st root from stock.
 
Well, I would recommend that you start by charging your battery up to full.

Once you are up to charge, the next thing you want to do is to flash a recovery. I like using Amon_RAs recovery (see the link in my signature). You want to use the PC36IMG.zip method.

FYI, whenever you boot into the bootloader, your phone will think you want to re-install the stock ROM, which is named PC36IMG.zip and that is why so many things use that as a start point.

Lastly, which rooting method are you trying? What was your last successful step?

That knowledge will help to get you back on track.

I was trying unrevolked forever step by step instructions, My last successful step was step 13 and then the update failed. Now Im just trying to get back to stock. Is this the proper method to help me get there?

Thank you so much.

Were you following my guide in this forum or a different guide?

- If the radio fails to update that is OK.

I was following your guide..so when it says
radio: failed
update: failed
reboot: no

I get a white screen.

If you verified the MD5 of the next file to load, you should be able to start from Step 13.
 
Did this:

chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
sync

go ok for you?
 
I hit enter after sync and sync popped up again...then I went to the following step bootloader. is there anyway I can pull up my command prompt to show history?
 
no its not still open unfortunately I started rooting at 2 am and closed it when I thought I bricked it. yes I pressed enter after every line. When I pulled up the bootloader it was saying some file had "no image" in green..idk if that helps
 
when i use the power button and volume rocker it goes to hboot...sd checking laoding pc3img.zip no image loading diag no image or wrong image and asks do i want to start up date

when I just use the power button im at the white screen
 
When I update the phone the radio fails and it says bootloader fail IC image check failed. it asks me to reboot i say no so it takes me to the bootloader screen with the options:

fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
hboot usb

Sound familiar? o_O

Actually yes - someone else had this problem and it was resolved in the main thread.

I think it was the misc partition flash but I'm not 100% sure.

You can't boot back in to android at all right?
