how do i enter bootloader on th excalibur??? - HTC Excalibur

I DID SEARCH, but coudlnt find it
cant get a connection on my windows vista pc to the dash so i am trying to run the official wm6 from the sd-card. so how do i get into the bootloader screen?
thanks!!
edit: and i tried all the different buttons to hold while powering off without success!

so for now i did it the very weird way.
copied nbh and enterbootloader.exe on sd-card and click on enterbootloader.exe. but then i needed to start the updater from pc to get it updating.
works ok but doesnt seem to be the way intended. would like to run it from sd-card only withou the help of a pc, because i got a couple of devices here to update and need the pc for work.
any ideas?

hi !
1) turn off the phone
2)just hold the camera key (while phone is off) and
3)plug the data cable in the phone (while computer on, and cable linkedto it)
4) you're in bootloader mode
enjoy

thanks, that does indeed enter the bootloader.
but now i need the trick how to update it from the sd-card. i copied all files from the extracted xxxship.exe but it only updates with the help from a pc.
maybe i need to rename the nbh file to something different. will try that now.

HI
if U wanna update with SD card,u have to unlock your Excalibur(not to use SDA_applicationUnlock)...And the Rom is different from Ruu...So...give up...Maybe someone work for HTC could help U...

you did not use search did you? if you had... you would have come up with a solution in 5 minutes...
anyhow - i hope you know this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211

you need to put the file from your PC to internal storage - you can do this via bluetooth OR if you can connect the phone as disk drive...
good luck! (and please search! it will save you time )

ok first of all... we need to make sure u have HARD SPL... for that, you need to connect to computer...
try this to make sure it's not a USB cable or port issue...
remove any cable
go to bootloader "enter Bootloader by pushing the red reset button (on the back) while holding volume down key on the side"
you will see some a tri-color screen... and it will read Serial at the bottom... NOW connect USB to computer and wait for a minute and two... the "SERIAL" should now read "USB"...
if this works... then keep the phone connected and follow the HARDSPL instructions from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
first post, Section A
if it does not change to "USB" then it's a port / cable issue... try another cable or a diffirent port on your computer...

Bricked Trinity-USB invisible....HELP

I tried flashing a cooked ROM but now it stays on the splash screen.
I can get the striped screen up (IPL-0.50 SPL-1.07.0000) which displays USB when usb lead plugged in BUT I cant see the PDA through vista or xp-So I can't reflash using sync.I need to flash through SD card...this failed when i renamed the NBH file...Any help would be appreciated..Thanks
on + cam + reset and restore the original rom with Usb, also the actsyn dont see the phone.(xp not vista)
No good..I tried this, the trinity is invisible to the xp pc, but pc does make the connecting sound.
Try also the actsync no connect and no see the Phone(not connected). Only the original rom Work in this manner.

But if the PC makes the connecting sound then it is connected and flash should work. I always flash my phone this way.
In the device manager under Mobile Devices do you see HTC USB Sync?
BTW do you use Vista to flash? The vista drivers for the HTC USB Sync don't work.You have to install the drivers from XP to flash a phone this way.
Sounds to me like your phone is not unlocked, or does not have Hard SPL installed.
Be sure to read these forums to verify everything is set up correctly to flash cooked roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=312
Good luck, and report back if you still cannot get it to work.
I can confirm that the phone IS unlocked, power+camera reset leaves it with striped screen, L/H + R/H softkey+reset gets it to bootloader and eventually to failed ROM splash screen,same with simple reset.
Connecting to XP gets a connect sound BUT phone is not displayed by exploring or by activesync.
Because the PC can't see the PDA, it can't flash. I feel flashing with SD card is the way forward...almost any rom would do-just to get PC to "see" PDA through USB. If anybody has a foolproof SD rom flash I would be grateful.Thanks

But did you look into the device manager after you hear the bingbong sound to see if there is a mobile device listed there?
If there is delete it, disconnect and reconnect.
Do you have olipro hard spl on your phone?
Noob scratching head lots!!
Hi Adejager, my PDA doesn't come up on the support screen at all. It MIGHT be a usb socket to Motherboard problem. I can sort that out later, after I flash through sd card. (BTW i don't have OLIPRO hard SPL). if I can get a rom flashed with card I can then move forward
you need to install hard spl, and it will solve your problem, i had same exact problem before.
Hi PP
Yes, but how do i flash hard spl via mini sd card?? (usb not working)

Download the Hard-SPL file, unzip it and copy the .nbh file to the root folder of your Mini SD card, but be sure to rename it to "TRINIMG.nbh". Then, insert the SD card and boot into the bootloader.

Possible Fix to the Update Error [262] for noobs and pr0s

Hey Guys
I am a new member as you can all see, and i have been wanting to update my Touch Dimond for ages now but after installing the HardSPL, i kept getting Update Error 262 when trying to install a new Radio or ROM.
So after Reading Countless Threads and trying a million different things, i figured this out.
Start:
>>Make sure you have HardSPL 1.93 installed
>>Then when installing a ROM, take the diamimg.nbh file and put it into the root dir of your internal storage.
>>Then take another copy of that diamimg.nbh file and put it into the HardSPL folder
>> Manually Start the bootloader by holding down the "down volume" Key and Turning off the Phone, keep you finger on the down volume key ALL THE TIME, restart the phone with your finger still keeping the volume key down, the phone will now start in Bootloader mode.
>>Now connect your phone to the PC via USB, and start the RUU.
>>The ROM Installation will now start.
I hope this has helped, this is how i eventually got the installation to work.
Thanks guy

Haven't had this problem myself, but it's good to hear that you got the problem solved Well done mate.
How is the computer supposed to recognize the phone when its in the bootloader ? if i do what you are telling me to do the RUU doesnt find the diamond and the phone keeps saying loading!
I guess the flaw of this solution is if you don't have access to an OS or can't transfer the file through ActiveSync then you can't copy the file.
But the installer can still see your device in some cases. Make sure to disable "Enable USB connections" in the ActiveSync icon->Connection Settings... and then run the updater.

your all missing the point, you can flash from usb directly from bootloader!! al the ruu does is switch the device into bootloader mode then flash, if your device is already in bootloader mode it just flashes.
so if you run the ruu and get error 262 disconnect the usb, you will see the word "serial" appear, then reconnect the usb and after a driver install "USB" will appear.
can i just ask, all you people have the correct active sync driver installed right? i.e. the ones i posed in my thread HERE If you are using vista or win7 you MUST FOLLOW POST 2!!
if you do not install these drivers vista and win 7 CANNOT communicate with the bootloader.
verify you have my drivers installed and then post back please

to be honest, i did tried your drivers, but have two problems
1. if your drivers installed, when in bootloader, windows7 (vista) do not "see" my diamond, though cannot communicate with it
2. if i leave the "download drivers automaticly from the net" and windows installs his drivers, i do have communication with the diamond, rru also "SEES" it, but mtty doesnt work with those drivers.
<tried both win7 ultimate and home premium>
workaround that i find usefull and works for me, is to have xp as a virtual machine, using your drivers, so mtty work fine

no usb connection

my diamond stucks in the bootlaoder when i put into the pc i don't get usb, the pc says qualcomm cdma technologies msm searh driver but i dont have it please help
Sounds like you need to flash from your phone as per instructions from other thread:
First make sure you flash Hard SPL then
Extract the RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.2_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe file (or whatever one you are wanting to flash) to a new directory on your PC
Find the RUU_signed.nbh file in this new directory and rename it to Diamimg.nbh
Copy Diamimg.nbh to the root of Internal Storage
Hold in the volume down button + the back button (thats the top right button on the front to the right of the big middle jog control) + soft reset
Follow instructions on screen
When the process is complete (it will say UPDATE SUCCESS) then reset
If it says rom image not found then you may need to follow the thread about stuck at 0-5% and use NBH util to mod the image to change the model ID

Hi
It is look like you are trying to flash a GSM rom to a CDMA diamond. you should read the CDMA section about your problem. Do not try any GSM roms on the CDMA device, as far as i know GSM rom won't work.
Good luck
the phone just crashed, i didn't wont to update my ram, wen i want to hard spl i dont find a phone
when i hard reset the phone says
trigger usb host....
retry enter usb....
don't find a map in explorer to
what can i do is the phone for the bin
help me please
Your device in bootloader state. Can you see the connection changes from serial to usb? If confirmed so you have a good chance to go further!
Do you have a appropriate active sync driver on your computer? Did it work before? If confirmed you should activate - Connection Settings - so the PC can detect your HTC device by usb
You know the rest of the procedure!

i dont see any progress, i sopose i've dont have the driver,
the bootloader stays on serial and the active sync didn't find the connection

Hi
Disconnect phone from usb then reconnect to usb.
In pc install activesync driver which will be found by pc itself.
If this is not successfull left diamond connected and restart the pc it will automatically install activesync driver.
then flash a rom from pc.
Good luck

made a mistake using mtty

Whilst reflashing my diamond touch with a new rom at the stage where you disconnect and hold vol down and back button to start the rom off I had the back off and the battery fell out. Now if I do the above it comes up saying no image found then says trigger usb host and red flash saying usb retry enter usb. Have I meesed my phone up or is there a way to get the image back any help will be welcomed. I can still connect via mtty but the device doesn't come up in my computer anymore or wont connect via active sync.

dont worry .. nothing is lost
bring up the phone in bootloader .. vol down reset
connect the usb cable, on screen should write USB (instead of serial)
and now just run the customRUU.exe file that is usualy in archive you downloaded the rom, and just follow the instruciotions.
(like you are flashing without mtty! from computer)
hi man, have you tryed to reinstall drivers ? i don't know what happends to your phone but i'm really sad for you hope it's nothing That can seriously damage it so if i was you, i'll try to reinstall all drivers and use mtty from the 1st step, may be it will work. feed beck plz

yes..youre right..i did the same thing, after i've mtty (after type task 8), i forgot to initiate ROM flash and did hard reset+clear memory, so the image (diamimg.nbh) in movinand memory is erased.
So, we still can flash with custom RUU. bring your device in bootloader, you will see serial mode change into usb, then execute custom RUU.exe. follow the instruction.. but make sure your battery is enough..
Hope it help you..
Thanxs Vicai, did as your post recommended and working fine now, thanxs for the quick response
