my battery cover fell off and the battery popped out. Now when I power on after a soft reset the screen is stuck on the 4.0 Rom page.
The question:
I was going to upgrade to Tom's 4.1 anyway;
will a hard reset get the unit to function again?
Is there a alternative that saves my data?
If no alternative can I upgrade to 4.1 without a hard reset
knowing that I'll lose my data anyways?
Thanks for any help with this
There is no way to retrieve your data - therefore flash to b&b 4.1 via bootloader mode. Hold down record button and soft reset - you'll have a multicolored screen - attach via usb to pc and begin flash (you do not need activesync and if you have already flashed uspl you dont need to do it again.

I have an iPAQ 2215 (PN: 268898-001, Product #: FA159A) that when powered up the only thing that happens is the power and Bluetooth lights come on. The screen is blank. I have tried a hard reset. I was in the middle of a rom flash and we lost power so now my PDA is a brick. Before I did the flash, I backed up my current ROM to a flash card using the bootloader commands. No I cannot get back into the bootloader menu (the screen is completely blank even after I press Contacts+iTask+Power+Reset). Does anyone know if I can restore from the backup or if there's any other way I can un-brick my PDA?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Search HP for the latest available ROM update for your device and flash it back to normal.

Hi,
I've tried that, I have the latest ROM update, however the iPAQ doesn't boot up enough to get into the bootloader. When you turn the unit on, the screen displays nothing (no backlight or anything), and the power & bluetooth LEDs light up and and don't turn off until you hit the reset button).
I've been told that these iPAQs have an "Emergency Mode" or "Factory Mode" so even if your ROM is messed up (like mine is), you can still restore from a backup on a CF card (which I have).
Thanks for the help!
I just flashed macadam ROM and now my phone keeps soft resetting itself it gets to the touch diamond screen..hangs up and then soft resets..
Please Help
pls refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3433851&postcount=22
Another option is to flash a stock ROM
i tried stupitly somethings at my new pda, (i set up one rom called DiamondC_HSPL057.exe on Diamond) and now..., soft reset , hard reset, power button ,charge sign, doesnt operate...i tried with full battery but nothing..please help!!!!
i dont think that is a diamond rom.
theres nothing on here named like that.
you might well of bricked it.
If dead try:
...…holding the power button, volume down and hard reset button the same time
.....you can see the bootloader again and (you have to quickly flashed it because 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 recently tried to unlock my uncle's Diamond. I used Hard SPL1.4 from this site, and it finished that successfully. After restarting, I went through the whole screen calibration and so on, then I went to the kitchen to get some food. By the time I got back, the Diamond wouldn't start at all. I haven't tried a hard reset, but I don't think that would do me any good since the phone doesn't start up at all. Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to tell my uncle I ****ed his phone..
Just a quick detail, I did notice that after it started up again, the area next to the SIM card slot heated up quite a bit. I don't know if that's related, but I figured I'd tell you anyway.
The Hard SPL of choice is the 1.93. Any who, try and place the device into bootloader mode (tri-colour screen).
Hard Reset Your Device:
• Soft reset button and hold the vol. down + Circle button until u see the grey screen. REMEMBER THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING SAVED ON THIS ROM (i.e. contacts, calender, etc.)
Bootlaoder Mode:
• Soft reset and hold the volume down until u see the tri screen
Do you see the Hard spl 1.40? if yes, then just a hard reset and see what happens
IF none of the above worked, take out the BATTERY for a bit and try the above options all over again.
Hi, thought i would add to this thread.
Mine also did this, it worked fine for a week with Windows Revolution 6.5 rom then it randomly turned off and refuses to turn on.
Bootloader mode / hard / soft reset none work.
I have a Stock TILT 2 (TP 2) never flashed running basic programs Mobile Shell never had any issues with it, haven't installed new software in a few weeks , but I soft resetted it this morning and it keeps getting stuck in the boot screen. when first turned on it will run through boot screen then load screen for a millisecond then back to boot screen and never advances again , I've tried battery out sim card out Sd card out everything, even tried hard reset , but wont allow me to hard reset with front buttons and power, is there another way to hard reset , is it possible my phone just bricked for no reason ? thanks for any help ?
have you tried to do a hard reset via the pc? the original rom is on the htc website so you can try useing the exe file there. there is also an updated rom you can try to flash there. hope that helps
You might try sending it to the bootloader screen and reflashing. I don't know if it will work, but I thought it might be worth the effort.
I did notice that HTC removed the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2. I'm sure it is floating around here somewhere. If not, I have it and can send it to you when I get home.
Thanks I have original rom and just released wont work.
dod you see anythign on teh screen? if you do, then hard reset may fix it.
Power off your phone (or take teh battery out). Then press and hold teh call and hang up button while press teh power button. it will enter the hard reset mode. (remember hard reset will erase all the info on the phone and rever tot the stock setting).

wow, thank god i dl'd it when i dl'd the updated rom... and they still have the image of the old rom right beside it... lol
as for op, you can try to enter the bootloader with the following steps
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
and try to flash from there
hope that helps again
I can't access my hard spl through the power+camera+reset combination. My phone boots directly into android. I think I messed up when I was flashing the rom and flashed the android rom over the Hard SPL because I used CustumRUU... because I simply read the instructions wrong.
I'm pretty much screwed aren't I?

SPL does not get written over by flashing andriod to nand. hard SPL allows us to install unsigned roms and performs much like a bios on a computer in that it handles low level functionality.
You could flash back to the factory winmo rom for your device and and run softspl then install hardspl again to see if that fixes your problem.
Yah but I don't know how to flash back to the factory winmo rom since I can't get to that bootloader to flash back using the SDcard by pressing the camera+power and reset, and as far as I've searched, you can't flash back through Android? Right?
I had difficulty in getting to the bootloader recently, but after a few different combinations of reseting and pulling the battery, all while pressing camera + power, it eventually worked.
I know some things stay in memory when you press reset, so reset is not the same as a battery pull.
Try:
Remove battery, replace battery, hold down camera + power, tap reset
