Thanks for the quick reply.

It doesn't look like I can unlock the bootloader due to it not being allowed (Bootloader unlock allowed: No).

However, I could install cyanogenmod 12 (lollipop) using this method (warning, it most likely played a part in me needing this tutorial!).

It mostly worked, except for cellular data - which may be fixed at some point.

In case it helps anyone else, the cause of my bricking was:

• Rooting the device (step 1 of this)
• Install Clockwork Recovery (step 2)
• Wiping to factory using Clockwork Recovery
• Installing cyanogenmod 12 (step 3)
• Install Google Apps (step 4)
• (normally use the device for a while)
• Wiping to factory again
• Attempting to install cyanogenmod 11 (using step 3, but substituting with a download from the main cyanogenmod website). The install failed.

I have a backup of the original system using clockwork, so I'll reset back to that.

Unfortunately, I don't make a backup of the TA partition, so I'll make do without the special features.

Thanks again!

I confirm that the testpoint pictured for the SP is correct.

However, I think I've accidently used a Russian(?) firmware (the text looked cyrillic), and I can only make emergency phonecalls.

It doesn't complain that the sim card is not present as it does when I remove the simcard.

I presume this means that the phone is now simlocked to some foreign provider?

If I continue ahead to install cyanogenmod over the top of the current install, will it fix this issue, or will I need to fix this first?

Thanks very much for posting this tutorial!
