Loading Black 3.01-Bricked-Bootloader ?

Hi,
Well after 2 phones and countless upgrades, I finally bricked my hermes! I have read countless threads and the WIKI but I don't see my problem anywhere. When I soft reset my phone, it sticks at the Logo Screen(AT&T in my case). If I try to go to bootloader, it will go to boot loader screan(tri-color) for about 2-3 seconds then it goes to the loading screen that you see when you are upgrading. I have 1.01 bootloader.
I have cid unlocked and upgrading many times, but at last, I am totally stumped. Can someone point me in the right direction! Thanks

try to upgrade a complete rom from a microsd card. You can try one with SPL 1.01 if possible from your original carier. You know waht to do: you rename the nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and put it in a empty card. with the card in the slot produce the tri-color mode.

It's a shame that you did not do the reading of countless threads and the WIKI BEFORE updating your phone, why didn't you have HARDSPL 2.10 on there?
Check the thread in my sig or/and look on the WIKI for the table that Pof kindly put together it should point you to the answer you need. It's not Black 3.01 fault so I wouldn't have mentioned it in the heading as it will insult those people responsible for Black 3.01.

Thanks everyone, I believe I am back on the right track....it seems that my microSD card was causing my phone to kick out of bootloader mode. Not sure why but I took the card out and I am now flashing back.
Thanks for all the help!!! Knowledge is power!

What if Everything goes ok But no power?

I got one Hermes100. I tried upgrade via Microsd, Upgrade 100% cOMPLETE, but after it the phoe become complete dead. No Boot Loader using Boot Sequence. Nothing not even red light when USB inserted. Any Possinility to Bring it in Boot Loader mode?
Thank U.

Press (at the same time) the Power Button, The OK Button on the left side and the reset button with the pen. Should go into Bootloader.
When you flash, you have to tell it what bootloader you are using as it won't autodetect.

Nothing goes right!!!!!

Dont know what goes wrong, But here is the story, The phone was Perfect but in Japanes Langauge. O2 Trion, with DOCOMO rom in it. It was flashed for Langauge change and Update to WM2006, used DEV_HERMES_WWE_WM6 rom. Using olipro boot loader via filemanager and using sd card for flashing. It flashed 100% and after reset nothing.... No Boot Mode, No KITL, No Light when USB / Charger insert. But without battery the signal light blink RED. thats the story. Cant get any report via mtty cause I cant bring it in to boot mode.
Any help would be appriciable.

Why do you people not read the upgrade guides before you flash your $600 phones? the first thing you HAVE TO DO is load SPLV7 on your phones with out it its like going to a whore house and expecting to not come out without some STD its just not going to happen....

lol austin

HELP Please

I tried to upgrade the ROM n my trinity without putting the device in the SPL. The device went dead completely and I could not start it on. I tried to soft reset, hard reset, and tried to get the SPL but nothing is working. When I tried to upgrade it gives message 260 “no connection”. Could anybody tell me how to revive my trinity or get it working again?

Been there a few times myself.
Do you live in the US? If so, I could call you and walk you through it, or MSN chat, or??? or if you'd rather, let me know and I will try to walk you through it in here.

I am in Europe, time difference is large, appreciate if you give step by step instructions in this forum. Thanks again.

SuperSport,
Hi agin, waiting for ur instructions. I am missing my trinity.

I apologize jma81113. I was unexpectedly called out of town. My nephew crashed his motorcycle and is in the hospital, so I rushed over there. I'm back now.
Any time I cannot flash another rom, I am forced to flash back to an OEM rom, in my case, I use the one found here: http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe
This flashes back the original SPL, Radio, OS, etc... It works best if you can do it from a Windows XP computer. If you don't have that option, there are ways to do it using Vista outlined here.
Then I always flash the Hard SPL found here. In my case, I use Des' Crash Proof. I've had the most success flashing Cooked ROMS with this one.
From there, Flashing Cooked ROMS should work just fine. If you run into trouble, you might have to flash back to the OEM ROM again. Occasionally, I have to. I keep a copy on hand at all times.
Oops! Actually, as I read back through your message, I see that you might be getting just a BLACK screen? Is this correct? And I assume by you saying you tried to get the SPL that you mean you pushed the 'power' 'camera' and 'reset' buttons and nothing? If that's the case, let me know and I'll do some more research.
Just so I know, do you get the orange LED lighting up when you plug in the USB cable showing it's charging?

SuperSport
I am sorry to hear about your nephew accident, I hope he is well and wish him well.
Yes I got a BLACK screen when I press the 'power' 'camera' and 'reset' buttons. The device is completely dead.
When i connect the device to the laptop, red LED lights up for 10 seconds and then disappears, I even changed the battery but no sucess.

Hard Reset?
Oops! Sorry, just re-read your first post. Looks like you tried this already...
The Black Screen is new to me, so I'm shooting in the dark.
You many have already done this, but, have you tried a HARD reset? Press the 'Calendar' 'Contacts' and then 'Reset' buttons all together. Hopefully this will bring up a screen that asks if you want to do a reset. Press the Green Send key and it will reset. Let me know if that works or not...
Buttons shown in attached image:

I have done it already no luck, it seems I am going to send it to the dealer in Malaysia. Thanks any way Supersport for your time and effort. Once again hope your nephew is will.

Please Help!?!? ATT 8525 No Working

I have installed one of the ROMs here and it was a beta version....I didn't know and now my phone don't work at all.....I can't do anything....the power/ ok/ stylus button thing doesn't work for me....have tried a hard reset but it goes back to the "This is a beta version screen"....please some one help....

What if you try another Hard Reset and on the screen when it asks for preess screen , do a left side ok + right power hold buttons and soft reset with stylus while you still pushing the buttons. Do you see 4 colors?
Plug it and install aonother rom

Doing a HR may not help as it is probably a timebomb. I'd suggest reflashing another rom.... This will get rid of the "Beta Version" message. A lot of people have been caught by this when a rom released by PDAViet went bung. Not their fault as it probably surprised them too, they released an updated versio without the time bomb today....YAY!!!!
Cheers...

I don' get that screen at all...nothing happens when I do that...I have been pressing that all day....

Just double checking, The POWER BUTTON, THE OK BUTTON NEXT TO THE FLYWHEEL AND THE STYLUS RESETTING ALL HELD TOGETHER UNTIL BOOTLOADER APPEARS.........
Sorry if this seem like I'm treating you like a noob but the amount of posts sugggest this. A lot of noobs think that a HARD RESET is the same as goining into BOOTLOADER.......
If you have installed Hard SPL, and get to bootloader, you can reflash a new rom onto your device.
IF you get to bootloader,
1). Format an sd card fat32.
2). Copy .nbh file from your pc onto the sd card and rename it to "hermimg.nbh"
3). Put sd card into phone and go to bootloader.
4). Follow instructions to flash.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY POWER......
This will put a new os on your hermes. Make sure its NOT 19949 as this is a beta test version....(not all but unless you're sure, DON'T)
Hope this helps... Cheers....

Here we go....another one flashing ROM's without reading a damn thing in this forum! Gawd this is frustrating!!

Yeah, I know ai6908. But I'd prefer to help them flash properly now then to have to sit there for ages trying to get information out of them to help unbrick their phones. Besid, if we get the noobs up to speed fast , then they can help the next generation of noobs instead of us old farts....
Cheers...

Why are you suggesting SD Card flashing? If he puts the PDA in Bootoader he can normally flash another ROM...

Yea thats what I was hoping too, but its getting damn old after a while you know it!

He's a noob, Not much goes wrong or can go wrong with sd card method, short of resetting phone in middle of a flash. ANd lets face it, if you're that stupid then you don't deserve your Hermes...
Please note, I'm not calling anyone on this thread stupid. No need to flame for THAT misunderstanding...

[Q] HELP ! ! !

Hi all,
I wanted to put a new ROM on my Touch Diamond p3700, and managed to bust it.
I followed the MTTY guide from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
I got through the steps OK, but at some point, after restarting the device I noticed that it stop booting.
It would display only TOUCH diamond, and that's it. No other red numbers with RGD.
I tried a hard reset. Nothing. I also did a hard reset with a moviNAN format, and nothing. (though I think this might have made matters worse)
I tried a RUU, and it stays at 0% for a couple of minutes and then gives an error on the PC.
I tried an original ROM, but it says Not allowed for this Vendor ID (goes up to 1%).
I tried Hard SPL 1.24 a couple of times but this also stays at 0% for a couple of minutes and then gives an error.
I am totally out of ideas, but I'm only an extreme beginner, so I do hope there will be a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This is a board and not a private chat. A solution should be discussed in public, so maybe later, someone will find this and solve the problem. He will never find your PM... Do you understand that?

do a little more digging before you go on. this forum is cluttered with all sorts of "stuck in bootloader" requests and solutions. i only mean to save this clutter and in the process atleast even a kb on the servers of this forum..
these things have been discussed in the open and in full disclosure. but still some ppl find it hard to do search. i m saving this poor fellow from cluttering all over the forum and being bashed literally in the forum.
+ do ur research. i have replied likewise posts more than 2 times. so i think its best to go pm.
--->> and IF THE SCENARIO **IS NEW AND DIFFERENT from the typical "wrong rom wrong spl and stuck in bootloader" problems ** (which i highly doubt) and also if it is valuable to the forum i will post all my pm's related.
EDIT: See this post which was posted TODAY : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=862690
Now you see what i mean? So hope YOU understand!

Did he put his phone in BL mode after MTTY? I guess this is the situation.
After MTTY please hold VolDown pressed while you press reset button. After BootLoader connect your phone to USB and flash your ROM.

Someone responded to you in the other thread and you never said anything back.
You need to outline exactly what you did, and exactly what is happening on your phone. Speak in complete sentences. People can only help you if you explain your situation clearly, because we're not in the room with you.

you are asking for help ? do it in the Q&A section, its made for a reason
and as been said above, you got responded there so keep it there. not reading those helpful hints there yet making a new thread in the wrong section is not correct !

You need to install TWRP, before you can boot into TWRP.

If pressing vol down during a reboot doesn't get you to bootloader, you did it wrong. You either started pressing vol down to late, or let go too early (don't let go until the bootloader screen appears). Just try again, until it works.
