XDA exec dead

Hi all
Recently I bought a XDA exec from eBay (used) It was working fine but I found light button was not working. (Very imp)
By mistake I cleared the memory of the device and same time did a soft reset
Then the device was got stopped at O2 screen at the start it self and not going further.
Then I removed the battery and also did a hard reset it dint helped after similar tries my XDA exec was dead with no screen at all now (just blank)
The only thing I could notice is when ever I plug the charger or USB cable from PC a red light blinks for few sec
I want through this site and got to know the issue is with the boot loader
Know the major problem to me is, to get into the boot loader (i.e. Light + power + reset) but as I said my light button is not working from the beginning is there any other way to get into the boot loader
Can any one help me in fixing this problem would be great help
Thanks and Regards

no one knows wt do with this

Same thing happening to me!!
It was stuck on Boot Loader, then i cleared out the rom with "task 28 55aa"
at first i can see some words ("serials"), but now completely BLANK!!
The only thing i can do is go to "Clear storage" mode, either i typed 0 or x, both goes BLANK!
What im afraid is if the battery got empty because of re-trying..
Anyone please help us!....

did you reflash a ROM after task 28 55aa?

Im afraid so, yes.
I did "task 28 55aa" twice..
Any chance to make it right?

Ok, i just did (reset+power+light) and now i can see "Serial" and "v1.00" at the bottom.
I can see USB connection when i connect through "mtty"
Now what should i do?

Everything OK now.
If anyone have the same problem, PM me.
Ill be glad to help.

Now reflash the rom (upgrade) with the rom upgrade utility

Dash Bricked Need Help!!!
I tried using a the google mail java app on my tmobile dash. It froze up on me, and when i turned it back on it just stays at the "tmobile" splash screen. I have tried using the soft key and power button reset but it doesnt work. What's weird is that it wont power down unless I take the battery out. It powers on, shows the tmobile splash screen, then freezes. Is there any other way to reset it or is it totally bricked? I bought it new off craiglslist so tmobile wont replace it for me cause I'm using it unlocked on cingular.

The power key reset should work. Could you be doing it wrong?

I was facing the same problem but after doing hard reset (Power Off, Press 2 soft key, Press Power On Key for 2 seconds then release soft key) worked fine. Seems timing is very important, try and try.

Help, i think i bricked my phone!
I was installing the WM6 Update released on this website, everything was going fine when i saw that my lil' cousin' disconnected my phone while i moved away from the PC (he pulled the phone altogether).
Now my phone is stuck in the bootloader mode screen (tricolor, blue green/red i think). It detects USB (it says USB on the bottom of the screen whenever i connect it). Is there a fix for it for the DASH? I read the wiki about a fix for a similar problem for the Hermes, but that didnt work for mine.
Can anybody help me please?!
Mine's a T-Mobile Dash with the stock rom from T-Mobile.

remove and reinsert the battery

if that does not work paperweight thats how i ruined my cingular 2125

Oh god, all this brickage makes me too scared to update. Can anyone direct me to where I can find how to backup my current setup so that I could reload it if something went wrong or I didnt like the Beta WM6?

Just try the flash again and it should start working. I had my computer bluescreen while I was flashing an SDA and got to the tricolor screen. It flashed fine after trying again. If its not detecting right. Pop out the battery on the phone and restart your computer and attempt the flash again. Shouldn't be a problem. Definitely scary though. I don't think you can brick these unless you mess up the bootloader perhaps...

ANyone know How do I manually put my Dash in Bootloader mode?

power off, hold the camera key beside Space Tab for about 3 sec, and then press power key while still pressing the cam key.

You are a GOD. Thanks.

you have no idea why it gives you warnings not to run any programs or disconnect while the ruu is updating you think they just give you warning messages because the htc techs have nothing better to do????????

Well, tried that, but the computer doesnt detect the phone, meaning it wont connect to ActiveSync. Since it won't connect to activesync the program wont install it on the phone since it can't find it.
Good thing i have insurance. Bad thing i'm trying again as soon as i get the replacement
Are there any alternatives though? Maybe i can fix it before i send this one back.

restart your computer again..

This is from HTC Q&A
Q: I use RUU to update and failed, and my device always boots in three-color mode and cannot enter CE OS anymore, what should I do now?
A: If the update process has failed, you will see that your device will always boot in three-color mode. It's normal and can be recovered. Please follow the instructions below to reset your device and to establish a connection with the computer.
1. Disconnect your Mobile Device from the USB cradle/cable.
2. Reset your Mobile Device.
3. Reconnect your Mobile Device to the USB cradle/cable.
4. Check that the communication cradle/cable is connected properly.
5. Return to the ROM Update Utility.
Note: You should ignore the ActiveSync connection.

WM6: Endless Bootup Loop
A few days before the official TMobile WM6 update came out I download the widely posted leaked version. The Dash started acting up during bootup one day, so I reflashed with the TMobile WM6. Now the same thing just started, and the device can't be used.
When powered on it does the quick vibrate, TMobile screen, Windows Mobile Screen, TMobile screen again, with power up 'jingle', then it just shuts off and starts the bootup sequence again. Endlessly.
Have tried removing the battery, etc. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas of a keypress combo or something I can press during bootup that might jump-start it??? Thanks!

Take out the microSD card and the unit should boot properly. Mine was fixed with a new SIM card, but a new device may also be needed.

Wound up doing a hard reset. I had tried taking out the microSD card, then it would just hang on the TMobile screen. I also tried rebooting without the SIM card in, then it would do the loop thing. I'm thinking it must be related to software loading during the boot, and the only program I have on the microSD card that loads during bootup is FizzWeather.

I think this may at times be related to an auto-install file being present.
If you hold down the "end" key during boot-up it seems to prevent the cycling.

Thanks, will keep that in mind if it happens again. By 'end' key, do you mean the red phone icon key that you hang up on a call with?

unknown problem

dear friends ,
my phone has shut down and only when you take out the battery and put it back in after which you press any button on the phone it comes on and shows the htc logo after which it displays the following
ipl 3.07.001
spl 3.07.000
gsm 02.69.90
os 3.7.0.0
remains on for about 5-6 seconds and goes off
have tried to enter the boot loader mode by pressing the record button and reset button but it continous to behave in the same manner as mentioned above .
also when i try to charge the phone it shows only a red light
hoping someone can offer a solution to my problem
thanks and regards

I'd also be interested to know about this as my MDA Compact III has just done exactly the same thing.

have you guys tried flashing...that could kill it if not done propertly....but i doubt,the led is on,splash screen appears...info appears...what were last few things you did
according to spl os and ipl you flashed artemis touch 4.02 if i'm not wrong...or maybe tom's v5...try reflashing the same rom or just try a hardreset

Interesting...I've recently flashed the same ROM (v4.02)
I am certain I followed all the instructions about USPL and its been working fine for about a week...then it just went blank!
Will try re-flashing and/or a hard reset.
Thanks for the advice.

well...if it worked i'm sure you installed some app or deleted some files...so the system doesn't work...
if so hr will help

dear friends,
took the device in for repairs the fault was with the power circuit board which had to be changed as`informed to me by the technician
i now remember a few months ago the power button stopped working and a few days before the phone went bad it would work intermittently but there was no spring in the button hence it would have to be pressed quite hard for it to work i feel that this loose power button caused the power circuit to fail also my sd card was spoilt and the same had to be replaced
cast me appx in usd 30 for the repairs
thanks

If you can't do that, it's pretty much over. Prepare to ship the device back to HTC for warranty purposes. If they charge you more then your willing to pay for the repairs, tell them that they can keep it.
Who knows, they might fix it for free if warranty isn't void..

Hope this will work for you
do u have olipro hardspl already installed on you diamond...if u do, try holding the power button, volume down and hard reset button the same time...you can see the bootloader again and (you hv to quickly flashed it becaused it will only sync for few sec)quickly flashed a fresh copy of olipro hardspl and it will be back to life..now u can flashed your new rom as a you did before...i hv face the same problem power button not working, bootloader cannot sync with pc...my diamond is totaly dead.. i did send my diamond to HTC for repair..they ask me USD 320 the replace the motherboard..and at last i tried the solution found on xda and my diamond is back to life again...hope it will work for u to...gud luck

holding the power button, volume down and hard reset button the same time...you can see the bootloader again and (you hv to quickly flashed it becaused it will only sync for few sec)quickly flashed a fresh copy of olipro hardspl and it will be back to life..now u can flashed your new rom as a you did before

Unfortunately nothing happened, i have full battery but diamond does nothing, dead. how can it be that a flashing caused to kill device that it will never turn on???, i would know what to do if it can turn on, but now is a question HOW to turn it on?

Dear dubrak0 would u spare us a bit more detail on how did you bricked your diamond..wat did you flash to get your diamond bricked and wat happened if you connect your diamond to your pc as you mentioned earlier in the post you cannot enter bootloader..and yes bad flashing can caused you to kill your device and it will never turn on...
As for me, i flash a rom doing all the normal steps but i dont know what went wrong just after the flashing my device cannot be turn on..i tried to enter the bootloader by pressing volume down and reset button but the bootloader stay only for 2 sec and cannot sync with my pc..when i try to charge the bootloader keep poping up a few sec and repeat it self and it wont charge the phone....nothing is workin all the button dead accept for the repeating bootloader and the device cannot sync with pc for flashing...then only i sent my diamond to htc as i mentioned earlier..
The solution is a bit tricky actually...you hv to press and hold the power and volume down button the same time then press the reset button and lift but still holding the 2 button for few more sec till the bootloader appear.. when the bootloader appear it will sync to your pc and stay there few more sec a bit longer then before...therefore u must quickly flash the new hardspl again...if you succeed with that then only it will be back to life...
If you say that your device is dead as in nothing happens even if u connect it to your pc then nothing can be done...if your device is still under warranty then send it to htc as they informed me that if they could not detect any third party hardspl installed (which is in your case the device is totally dead and no chance to even check wats installed on the device) they`ll fix it for u without any charged..but if u hv your warranty expire then to bad..your device is totally unuseable unless u pay usd 320 for the board replacement or do jtag..

if you have hardspl then you cannot kill it from a rom flash, so im assuming you didnt!

what do you mean by( I can't unlock the exca)?

Hard Reset
Hard Reset will most likely solve the problem. I had the same problem.
TO HARD RESET:
-Turn off the phone
-Hold 2 soft keys
-press the power button for 3-5 seconds(still holding two soft keys)
-black screen will show up saying that pressing send key(green) will restore your settings to original settings.
-press send(still holding two soft keys)
-the end.
NB: YOU'LL LOSE YOUR PHONE'S DATA.

For Hard-Reset see sticky "a picture tells a million words"

The hard reset dont work, frezz in HTC screen I wait 2 hrs.
I dont want unlock, I want normal funcions.

Don't understand bolded?
You have tryed Hard-Reset not work, remove battery for about 5 mins and replace, try again "Normal boot then if not work try Hard-Reset"

Sorry for my poor english, Im from mexico.
I try the master reset many times it does not work, of several ways, extracting the battery for 5 minutes, 1 hr, 3 days, and it does not complete the reset, freeze in the htc screen, or another times in windows mobile logo screen.
When attempt to change the flash (for solving the problem) the process does not continue of 3%, this happens so I cant execute the jump USPL aplication.
In summary:
reset hard not work (hold 2 soft keys / turn on / black screen / send key)
Change the Rom for repair de damage not work (I cant load the aplication for jump USPL)
Write Rom direct in the bootloader (3 color screen) not work (hold camera button and tur on)
Any idea?
Change bootloader?
Another powerfull rom?
Special software?
Special combination to delete all in the internal memory without entering Romupdateutility locks or windows?
Please helpme to recover my excalibur.

this is so easy to fix,
your old rom now crashed, hardreset can't help you,
to repair,just download a new rom then open bootloader mode.
