I just received my O2 Exec, and upgraded the ROM to the latest off the O2 Site. When prompted, I disconnected the device from the computer and did the reset. (Two soft keys plus reset button). The screen comes up and prompts to press "0" to load factory defaults. I press "0", and a message briefly appears...."clearing". Screen then goes blank.
I then tried to put it into bootloader mode, with no luck.
What can I do?
check
check to see if there is a faint "serial" written on the to of the blank screen (very faint can barely see it)
if so .... you are in bootloader mode

I checked a few times in very good light. The screen is blank.
Is there nobody that can help me? Please my new phone is dead. What can I try?
What I have already tried:
1. Will not go into boodloader mode.
2. When I do a hard reset, the screen show up, but does not continue to splash screen.
If it is going into a hard reset it should go into bootloader mode no problems. Hold down the power, backlight key and the reset button for about 3 seconds. Sometimes it doesn't enter bootloader with just a quick press.
When you have done this try re-flashing with a freshly downloaded copy off the FTP or somewhere else.
When ever I try to get to bootloader mode, my phone just comes up to the tri-color screen. I press and hold the left OK key along with the power button, then do a soft reset. I only get to the tri-color screen. Can someone help me out with this please...I'm trying to upgrade to a WM6.1 rom on my 8525 via SD card.

The tri-color screen IS the bootloader. I have found with my 8525, that if you turn the device off (power button for 5 seconds, then tap OK), all you need do is hold the side OK and the power button together for a few seconds. No need to find the reset hole if the device is OFF.
If you have an SD card in the device (with a copy of HERMIMG.NBH on it), the Tri-Color screen will come up, searching the card. When the NBH file has been found, it will show you the various parts that the file includes, and prompt you to press the power button to begin.
It's really easy this way. I rarely flash through USB anymore.
Hope this helps,

Wow..thanks for the speedy response. I'll give it a try. Thanks again.
When I try to upgrade via SD, the bootloader never reads the SD card, it just sits...and says serial at the bottom of the screen.
When I try to upgrade via USB, after I start the RUU, the active sync connection is broken, and the phone goes into the bootloader screen and just sits...and says USB at the bottom of the screen.
If anyone has had this problem, please let me know. If not..I guess I'll just have to go out and buy a Tilt.
Current ROM: 2.15.502.3
Current Radio: 1.40.30.00
SUCCESS!!!!
Thanks for your help. My company has the firewall on and it, for some reason was killing my active sync connection. I was able to upgrade via USB. And this ROM is looking great starbase64

1) Is your SD card freshly formatted (FAT32)?
2) have you installed HardSPL? If not, do it.
3) Are you sure you spelled the name of the NBH correctly? HERMIMG.NBH
4) Copy HERMIMG.NBH to the root of your SD card
5) Shut off the device (power off all the way)
6) Insert the SD card with only the one file (HERMIMG.NBH) on it
7) Press the side OK button and the power button simultaneously for a couple of seconds
8) your device should start up, and the bootloader will look for the HERMIMG.NBH file
9) If all the above is done corectly, your device SHOULD find the NBH and tell you what parts it contains, then ask you if you wish to proceed, by pressing the power key. If this isn't happening for you, I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions for you.

Others HAVE had this problem. You need to disable one of the settings in ActiveSync, but I don't remember which one. Try doing a search under the main HERMES forum, including all subforums. This is one of those questions that gets asked a lot, so be prepared to sift through all the repetitive threads (GOD, if only people would SEARCH first!).

when you say copy the .nbh file to the root of the SD card what exactly do you mean. When i put the SD card in there and format it its completely empty with nothing there, then the only option i have is open the SD card folder and put it in there, is that correct?
okay so i just did the SD card flashing, said on the screen it was flashing and did the whole thing fine. Told me it was complete so i pressed the power the button to restart the phone and no matter how many times i restart the phone it just boots into Tri color screen and says serial at the bottom.
I tried soft reset and removing the battery no matter how many times i do it, always comes back to Tri color screen.. help!

Hmmm, I typically do a RESET after the flash process completes. Never tried shutting down using the power button. So now your device is stuck in BL? I'm not sure of the procedures you need to try to escape that one, but I KNOW it's been discussed here in the forums. You MIGHT try flashing a different ROM. It might be the simplest way to recover. If that doesn't work, you might want to check the Wiki HERE.
Good luck!

I have flashed many Custome ROM's before. I have HardSPL installed on my phone.
I tried flashing to a ROM (I forget which one now, I think Cloudfa or something) and it stopped at about 15%. The Update utility stopped as well.
I cannot connect to bootloader at all. I tried holding down on Volume down/Reset to enter bootloader, but the thing is that it's already in bootloader with the message "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again"
ActiveSync doesn't see my phone either. In fact all it does is just sit on the bootloader screen with that error...
Please Help... Thanks You...
A normal soft reset still brings you back to Bootloader?
What happens when you plug in your device? Does it not change from serial to USB at the bottom?

Sorry. Yes it does show USB when plugged in, but won't respond to anything that I have tried software wise. It does not switch from this bootloader/error screen at any point. Even after I pull my battery and turn it back on...
I have yet to come across a thread which has this exact problem...

Have you tried flashing a different ROM while in bootloader?
^^ Yes. It give me an error on my computer...
I would like to try the internal flashing method but I don't seem to have a way of getting at my Storage Card.
I found this thread with a similar problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480022
I WAS just able to get off of that screen I was talking about, but the best I get is to the Touch Diamond Screen that lists my ROM and such. So no real progress.
I have a feeling that I would resolve my problem if I could Flash from the Interanl Storage...
Have you tried hard resetting the device?
Pull out stylus and Holding....1) Vol. Down 2) Center Round button 3) then press red button aka soft reset with stylus
Nothing...

Hi folks,
Can anyone help me?
I was using BSB 6.5L WM6.5 on my Diamond and i had some problems with that.
Mainly, my Diamond was "hard reseting" the manufactures settings everytime i turned it on.
So i decided to downgrade it to WM 6.1
At this point i started to have serious issues.
I installed Rom 1.93xx and just after the uptade, my Diamond froze in the first black screen (Touch Diamond and radio/Rom version).
Even if i do the hard reset, it freezes again in the boot screen.?
So, how could i go back to the Rom i was using before or install another one?
My Diamond is useless now... Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
should've used search, this is also a wrong forum for this topic.
with that said, power off the phone, press and hold power, volume down and reset until you see the tri-colour bootloader screen, connect the phone to your PC, you should be able to flash at this point.
do report back.

What technote said is incorrect, doing that will just cause it to try and read from the Internal Storage, what you want to do is what I did when I had the exact same problem;
With the phone on the frozen screen - make sure the USB cable is DISconnected, open ActiveSync/WMDC on the PC and in connection settings, disable USB connections. Now press the red reset button on the phone and as the phone is turning on (before it vibrates - 'touch Diamond' splash), you need to press Volume Down once, don't hold it. Just press it once. Now plug the USB cable in when the tri color screen appears, and Serial should be written near the bottom. Renable USB connections in ActiveSync/WMDC and then flash a ROM. All should work.
Thanks...
It worked flawlessly....

When i do this, it still keeps going to the splash. I reset, press vol down, and it continues to go to the splash. If i do it the other mentioned way, power, reset, vol down i get to the tri colour screen.
how to enter in bootloader = press volume down and reset simultaneous !

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me recover my Desire. Earlier today I tried flashing one of the alpharev HBOOTs to prepare for LeeDroid 3.0.7 Data++ edition. At some point something must have went wrong, because when I tried to do 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' the phone just turned off (or so it seemed...explanation further on). I subsequently tried pushing the power button to turn it back on, to no effect.
After leaving it for a bit (about 15 minutes or so), I decided to disconnect from the PC and pull the battery, since nothing was working. This is where the REAL problem appears. Now my phone refuses to boot, even refusing to vibrate when the power button is pushed. Here are some of my observations:
After pulling the battery and replacing it, then connecting to the charger, the 'charging' LED lights up
When I press power, the 'charging' LED goes off, but nothing else happens (no vibration, no boot sound, no screen action)
Holding the Volume Down key while pressing power (after a battery pull and replace) doesn't change anything regarding the boot process described in the point above
As far as I can tell, attempts to get into recovery/fastboot have failed
Holding the Back key while pressing power (after a battery pull and replace) also doesn't help
I've searched Google for about 3 hours now, and nothing I've come across seems to help. Also, this isn't an SLCD brick, since the phone has an AMOLED screen.
Any help getting the phone up and running will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
my friend warning are that no matter what DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY or it will possibly brick so in my opinion 95% you bricked your phone
hi, don't sounds good at all...
when you plug and push the power button, what does says your comp???
device unknow... nothing.
worse case scenario would be to put a PB99IMG
look at this to find the one matches with your phone (stock rom version )

attached an howto http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22152187/How to Extract the ROM from an RUU.doc
hope this help
Yup you failed to flash the most fatal part of you system(the hboot), and after trying to reboot the first time, you had no way to correct the error, as it is no longer able to load the hboot in order to change anything on the flash-rom. So no pulling the battery didn't change anything, you were already bricked.
No way to bring it back through usb afaik
edit: and no ruu is very unlikely to work as well, as the hboot, which is supposed to flash it doesn't even boot.
only way i know of is jtag, which allows a specialized connector to flash the flash-rom directly through a jtag port on the motherboard, however, the riff box needed is quite expensive(129$). Good luck. I feel sorry for you.
