Hey,
Thanks t yourselves i had upgraded my MDA3 to the black and blue version of windows about a month or so back. Everything was fine till this morning when it wouldnt send a text. i reset the phone and now it hangs at the swirly windows mobile screen on startup. Ive tried a couple of things reflashing etc but as i cant active sync i cant replace any rom onit. Also ive just tried the sd card method. I put just the reqired file from the artimus update on the card renamed it and booted up the device using record andreset button. all i get is a flash of a screen i cant reed and afterthat four colored bars with some numbers on the top. Any suggestions...i cant even take it to tmob as its a different startupscreen, but then this has to be expected.
Ifanyone can give some advise as im not sure how to approach this now?
Get the phone back into Bootloader mode, (The screen with the coloured stripes you saw before), by holding the voice record button whilst soft-resetting.
Go to the Artemis Windows Mobile 6 forum and select one of the ROM's by Meschle of your choice, download it and flash it to your artemis while it is connected to your PC in Bootloader mode.
thanks mate will do this now. Top group of people all the help is much appreciated

If you tried to enable tray icons from Battery Status app then this is your problem. With WM6 and Battery Status never do so. It 's a known bug.

Hi all,
I've the following problem. A friend told me he found a new AKU 3.5 rom of Helmi and he sent it to me.
I unzipped it, checked the files who lookeed good and flashed my universal.
Once finished, tried reboot and got black screen.
After spending 2 hours to go back in bootloader mode (no success) and after looking in the files, seems he sent me a Blue Angel rom and no Universal.
Phone refuse to go in bootloader mode. Black screen. :s but when I put it in usb, windows says unrecognized USB device.
Any one can help please :$

I just tried several previous official and un-official upgrades but none detected the universal.
Tried mtty methode too but nothing detected on USB port. (Killed active sync modules with task manager)
Tried several times to enter in bootloader mode but nothing displays on screen like before. Screen stays black.
I hope it isn't broken cause seems windows detected something pluged on the usb

your best bet with be take it back to your mobile phone vendor, because the motherboard is messed, and nothing can be done apart from replacing the motherboard

No other way to get it back in bootloader mode ?
since the bootloader is also overwritten with something from the BA ROM, it is improbable.
Hi !
I had a similar problem, but I am in bootloader mode, but I can't reflash my board. Does anyone knows how should I do ?
Thanks
Hi, Sorry, I know a lot of you guys are guru's on here but just need a little help. I have an unlocked T mobile mda which I am running on at&t.It has the 2.26 rom at present.I tried to install WM6 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324632 last night. Everything was going fine until the download reached 99%. Then it just hung for a while then gave me an error message '302'..From then on all I could get on the phone was the boot screen. I tried several times in boot mode to install again but same thing every time. I thought I had bricked my phone !
This morning I downloaded the 'lite' version from the same page and installed and hey presto, we are back to normal.
I don't know if WM6 is downloaded or not. I do get a different screen as it boots up now though..Firstly i get a screen with 'htc technology' written on it and then I get a screen with like a car speedometer with xda mobile 6 showing. Then it just comes on as normal......I don't know, All I really wanted was the 'touchflo' installed which I thought came with WM6...
Any info would be much appreciated,
Thanks, Paul
Hi
Yes You download the new version. There are more different roms maybe you download wrong rom to your device. İf you download rom with no error message I think you download wm6 rom and you should make hard reset for your device than I think it will be ok soon
Thanks for the reply...
I just did a hard reset and it's just the same as before.....any ideas ??
" 'touchflo' installed which I thought came with WM6..."
it dont
but if the top and buttom bars are not glossy
and the device info in
settings dont say the correct version you dont have wm6
Hi Guys,
I am aware of how to upgrade a ROM, how to Use HardSPL and how modifying in general works, although I think I may have really broken the phone now.
I had OliNex 1.40 installed since forever. I have used several Roms in the past including EnergyROM, Ahen's Roms and I have currently been using Makeveral's BSB6.5O Rom, and it was working great.
The last time I tried to use the unlock, i tried to flash it with the 'Subrata' unlock package (the one with Step 1,2 and 3' folders. It didnt work both times I tried so I gave up. It said it was unable to write to the phone. I reflashed with BSB Rom and all was well.
Today, I found a seperate unlocker. It was a simple .exe file that opened up what appeared to be the 'CustomRUU' application. The screen initially went black and then the program said that it lost connectivity. I did read that it used Cmonex HardSPL but I did it anyway (I take responsability for this error) and from then on, the phone will not boot. No matter what combination of Hard reset button combinations I use, nothing happens. No vibration, no light around the centre button that I can see, nothing.
So is there anything, anything at all that I can do? Or have i totally F**ked it?
I have also done alot of searching both on here, PPCgeaks, all the forums.
Let me know, cheers guys.
I had a similar problem: Screen was black, no reaction from the phone. But i was able to connect it to my computer, it was not really detected, even though
i was able to flash a new Rom with a Custom RUU. Perhaps you could try that?
Try to change the rom . Pull out the stylus , Press the reset button and hold the VOLUME DOWN and the right down button . After connect to pc
The phone is in an Off state - I recharged the battery in it overnight - no white glowing ring around the centre button. No combination of buttons work - nothing happens and the device is off still.
OK, regardless of what has happened, Ive sent the phone to Victoria (Australia) to be repaired or replaced under warranty.
I just hope that it is so scrambled that they cant figure out that the device has been toyed with - will keep everyone updated!
btw - does anyone understand what technicians with more advanced tools would be able to determine (if anything)? Do they use special hardware to view the contents of the ROM or how does it all work?
thanks friends
Well..not exactly, but they have probably tools to examine the flash/memory/parts of the phone. interesting question
Update!
I sent the phone away to the Three mobile repair centre - the phone is back, fully repaired and Running BsB again.... just awesome.
it seem they replaced all the components of the phone except for the shell itself, I dont really know why they didnt just replace the phone? lol
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I told them the phone wouldn't boot after an overnight charge - thanks 3!
Sorry for bumping.
I have the same problem! I used the same program; 'DiamonCustomRUU.exe'
The screen became black. I can't open the bootmenu, soft- and hardreset doesn't work
It's a Dutch branded Vodafone TD.
I have to send it to Vodafone for repairing?
I am making this thread because I just bought a ATT Tilt 2 yesterday and i've been doing my best to flash this phone but it wont work! I know how to flash because I've done it plenty of times with the Fuze, but this phone keeps freezing when it gets to the percentage screen.
I've tried both methods, Via USB and Via Micro SD....
When I did the USB, everything goes fine until the percentage screen on my phone and the computer screen show up, then it stays on 0% until I get an error messages telling me to unplug my phone and retry.
When I tried Micro SD, at the bootloader screen it stays on the "Loading..." forever, it never goes to "Checking"...
So i'm thinking AT&T has something to do with this? They've found a way for customers to be blocked from flashing another rom? Please tell me there is a way out of this...i've seen other users with ATT Tilt 2's claiming they've flashed their phones...but I know I can't be the only one with this problem.
I take it you have already put Hard SPL on the device?
Plenty of other people have put custom ROMs on their Tilt 2. So it's nothing AT&T have done.
Dave
HardSL
It wont let me even put HardSPL....it wont let me do anything period... it just freezes.
The percentage screen stays at zero percent. So i'm lost.
Have you installed the enablerapinew cab? That's all I had to do in order to get HardSPL to go through on my Tilt2

I have a tilt 2 and I am running NRG Photon 10/17 ROM and loven it, but is was not easy to get to this point. My main issue was with HardSPL. I had to go through a couple extra steps in order for it to work. The first issue was a connection error, i followed the directions in the error message and went to the appropriate link.
The second issue is on the flashing page. "anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL without functional USB port ("ERROR 260 CONNECTION" RUU error), you can get SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe from attachment in this post, copy it to the *device* itself and run it. then once the screen is showing black, run the Hard-SPL package on the PC and select Manual flash option. please do not use Manual flash option for any other purposes
another reason for USB connection error: if your PC takes too long to load the drivers (if your device is in bootloader for the first time it needs to do that), then if RUU times out, but device is still in black screen, just leave it there and re-run the Hard-SPL package when driver installation finishes - you must use Manual Flash option in such a case. I recommend to wait for Windows to take its time searching for the USB drivers, then click Next in RUU only when they are installed.[/I]
These helped me out and all is good. Hope this helps you as well. If not, good luck my friend.

That was my first step as well. I did not have the link handy...
try this. http://rhodium.htc-unlocks.com/ works like a treat and although I paid for it, I am also Security unlocked.
i flashed for the very first time on the w'end. I'm having a few issues... just wondering if anyone could help me please?
i tried syncing on active sync but couldn't get my contacts onto the phone (although i could before flash).
i forgot to hard reset after flash and I hard reseted the day after I flashed.
after i hard reset, i still couldn't sync. i only want to sync contacts and only have around 50-60 so its not a huuuge amount of ppl. i thought maybe it was bc i didn;t hard reset straight away so i flashed the energy rom again (sorry, idk if its leo or photon? its energy rom 23071 rhodium 21 october) and hard reset straight away.
tried to sync contacts but still nothing (it goes to 'sync' but stays like that ... i have left it for an hour but no contacts get onto the phone)
I also have some other probs that I just noticed this morning. I turned off the phone to try and get it to sync but after i turned it back on, it connected to data straight away. I tried to turn off the data connection but it wouldn't let me - it keeps connecting itself straight away.
I just left the data connection as is and tried to sync again but nothing happened.
So I just unplugged the phone. About 2 hours later I tried to use my phone but it was turned off!!! (I didnt turn it off again). I tried to turn it on, pressed the power button a few times but it didnt turn on so i soft reseted.
An hour later, tried to use my phone but when i tried to wake it up, it wouldn't go into the normal screen. (i could only see the icons at the top of the phone and the rest of the phone was black). I tried pressing the hang up button, the lights came on but nothing else happened.
Does anybody have any suggestions please?
Is it a prob with my phone or how I flashed or something that i may have done to it?
Sorry about the dumbass questions
I had a problem like this with my Touch long ago. Due to bad rom cooked by me (was my first attempt). What I did was put the phone on tri-color, and flash the phone with a working rom. Try that first.
sorry, what do you mean by 'working rom" like the stock rom? :S and if its not a stock rom how do i know if its "working"?
Also, how do i put the screen on tri-colors? sorry major newb here, i had someone on the phone to help me flash (amd it took nearly 3 hrs!)
Sounds like you have a bad flash. Download one of the stock ROM's & flash that. Than try a different custom ROM like either of the ROM's by NRG's/TwoPumpChump's/Monx's. I've tried all of these & they all work nicely. If this works for you try any other ROM you like. Maybe it's just the ROM you're using?
im using the energy rom 23071
i'd have to go to the library to download another rom (im on dial up)
can i flash stock rom and try energy rom again?
To get the Tilt2/TP2 into the tri-color screen you:
1. frmove the battery cover to gain access to the rest hole (small red button on the same side as you stylus)
2. Use your stylus to rest the device while holding the volume down button.
3. Keep holding the volume down button until the tri-color screen comes on.
Now you should be able to re-flash your device (I'm assuming you have run Hard-SPL on your device already).
Good luck!

You should... as long as you have you phone hard-SPL. While in the tri-color screen you should see "0.85.OliNex", if you your have hard-SPL and should be able to flash a custom ROM.
To me it sounds as though you have two issues.
1) as others have said you probably have a goofy flash. Redoing it with another is easiest solution.
2) When you load on a new rom you wipe out any relationship the phone has with activesync. Try deleting your profile in activesync and re-syncing. This is common with people who have also done a hard reset. If you have done this then refer back to #1.
hi guys, thanks for your help.
I reflashed - haven't had much time to use the phone so idk if it's ok now or not.
However, i'm still having probs with active sync i deleted it and made a new partnership, it will connect to my device, i can explore the contents etc but i cannot sync!!! when i look at sync results, it says sync failed. Severity : error
anything else you can suggest for me to do in regards to getting my contacts back on my phone (other than doing it manually lol!)
ok active sync is all good now
haven't used phone enough to know if its all good yet but looking good so far
