Orbit not booting. Please help! - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

I have O2's standard WM6 Rom on my XDA Orbit (with SDHC support installed by cab for my 4gb card) and, after performing a backup, I performed a hard reset in preparation for the install of the new Black & Blue V5 rom. However, it now sits on the boot up screen (see pic). It does this with or without the memory card installed and I have performed further normal and hard resets to no avail - it always sits at this point and goes no further. I left it for 30 minutes so I think it's safe to say there is a problem with it.
Any advice on how to resolve?
Thanks in advance.

have you installed the rom using the uspl file? if not, you have bricked your phone and there is no way to unbrick it yourself.

I haven't installed a Rom as of yet but I have installed USPL previously as I haven't always had the O2 Rom on this device. I had the Touch Vanilla on it at one point.
No, what has happened here is at the result of nothing more than a hard reset.
Any advice?

try 2 remove battery and insert back. try to do HR again

can U enter bootloader? if yes, download wm6 ROM again(o2 original) and follow instruction from wiki (How to flash using SD card)

can you get it to boot loader mode?

Yes, I can get into bootloader but my card is a 4gb and won't work by default as far as I know. Is there any way of doing it by USB? I have my cable connected with the bootloader screen on but it isn't doing anything and when I test it with USPL, it comes back with no device connected.
EDIT - ignore, just seen it can be done. Cheers for the replies all.

remove card at first, then enter btloader, and run Flash(o2 ship). dont do USPL directly - needs 2 install some certifikates before flashing.

Installed B&B V5 on it using bootloader and everything works fine now. Just a few issues with a few things on the restore using Sprite (caused by the differences between WM6 and WM6.1 I suspect) but nothing that couldn't be overcome easily enough.
Cheers for the replies everyone.

Need to go back to ppc 2003.. help please!

I just installed windows mobile 2003SE on my xda2 replacing 2003, i had lost com ports 4 and 5 and didnt know how to get them back.
That worked great until i flashed the Ext Rom with my own medley of software. I am now getting messages saying that the sofware i am installing was written for an earlier version (2003) and may not work. Pda then locks up until i do a soft reset then starts without my stuff.
Cut a long story short i want to reinstall factory version of windows mobile 2003... Anyone know a good link to download it?
P.S Tried o2 website but no luck
CHEERS
Cunning plan!!
OK..... So all copies of wm2003 has been banished to hell !!!
Next plan !.. I have another xda2 with wm2003 installed... all i have to do is get a copy from it and install it back on my other xda2!!
Only one problem... dont know how?
The first launch rom is here
ftp://[email protected]/Himalaya/ROM1.03/O2 XDA2 1.03 first Rom/Xda_II_LaunchROM_v10311.zip
I guess its wm 2003
whats the rom no of your other xda2?
rom version 1.72.00wwe
Is this file self loading or do i need some other software... cheers!
NOTE: That file has just come through corrupt... going to try again !
Its self loading after connecting device via activesync but its a much older rom - trying to put my hands on your rom.
It looks like the 1.72 was an upgrade to an older rom
good resource is here http://www.slipstreamsolutions.co.uk/support/rom_updates.htm
You could run the rom 1.31.139 and then the 1.72 update
or backup your 2003 rom on a sd card see here http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62
Thanks mark, been searching all night for it !

Have you CID unlocked your device?
100%. I've flashed a few times.
Try flashing the new nosize USPL.

I can try that. Could you pls give a link of that? Thx.
Here. Also, have you switched from XP to Vista by any chance?
I didn't change from XP to Vista. I'm doing this on XP. But still with no luck. I couldn't flash the RUU_Signed.nbh either and had exactly the same error. After a reset, it just stops at the white screen somehow. damn...
Actually the update utility i used before to flash my mobile may be different from the one i'm currently using now. so i'll try using the same update utility later and post the result. im thinking maybe it's the update utility reason.
Ok. It works now. I removed the sd card and it just works. I know this sounds stupid. But before I 100% had the experience of successfully flashing it without removing sd card in advance.
And finally I kind of have some conclusion. If the sd card is in, the flash process would search for the sd card which is a quite time-consuming process lasting 3-5 minutes somehow on my device. And this causes the flash fail because it may have a timeout value less than that. If the sd card is removed, the search sd card process will end immediately and the device goes to next step very soon.
Just hope i've made this clear and can help some careless guys like me.
And thanks for randythered's kind heart.
No problem, and I feel sucky because I knew this is one of the possibilities and I forgot about it AGAIN! Somebody else had the same problem a few weeks back and I gave him every solution except removing the sim card and SD card. Jeez...!

Change the language on my touch pro 2

Change the language on my touch pro 2...
Today i both my touch pro 2 but it is in Italian language can i change it by installing a new rom? ( i tried installing custom roms but the unlock failed )
Hard SPL your phone BEFORE you change roms...
Fundamental rule that people with bricks seem to ignore....
But I can't hard SPL my phone... it stays at 0 % and then it shows and error and nothing
edit:
Or it says Loading... on the phone and again nothing happens

how is it that you are ateempting to hard spl your phone? Hopefully you are doing it through active sync. Ensure you have the latest windows mobile device center version and that you unpack the Hard spl and running the correct option from there. Like ultramag69 mentioned, if you keep attempting to flash your device without hspl, you may have no device at all.
I am using sim unlocked htc.
My IMEI is PM me for this
sd card out, sim card out, phone on.
attempting to flash.
downloaded ,installed windows mobile device center
connects.
attempt flash with Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe
automatic flash doesnt work
attempt manual flash
picture of my phone comes up, instruction on flash come up, i agree, continue.
window comes up with 0%
phone screen is still showing 0%
after 6 minutes or so it comes up with UPDATE ERROR.
If you want i can make a video of what i am doing
Better if you eliminate your IMEI from post for security
Anyone help? i love my tp2 but I also want to customize it... at least to change the language...
edit
This is my first TP2 (device ) i have never flashed another htc before !

[Q] Restoring/Unrooting back to 2.1 Stock.

Hi.
I'm selling my Desire so I need to restore it back to stock 2.1.
I followed this guide and when I clicked "upgrade" it came back with error "[155]: Unknown Error"
My phone is unbranded, bought sim free. It is running a custom 2.2 rom at the moment. Bootloader is 0.75.
Could someone advise on how I would go about doing this?
Thanks.
this guide help me to restore my phone
Did you read what I wrote?
I said I followed that and after running the HTC RUU and following the steps I eventually get an error and it doesn't go any further.
Which RUU are you trying to flash with?
The one that was linked to in the guide. "Unroot-RUU-Disire-1.15.405.4"
Ok, I wouldn't bother with that. Try this RUU instead:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
Since your phone is unbranded you won't need a goldcard.
Hi,
I tired that and I'm still getting the same error.

Thanks.
Are you on Windows 7 64bit? That causes problems with running RUUs for a lot of people.
That RUU itself should otherwise work fine.
Yes, I'm running Windows 7 x64. =/
Is there anyway of getting around this issue? Withouth installing another OS of course.
Thanks.
Yeah. If you have an AMOLED screen you can flash another way.
Download this file:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip
Rename it to PB99IMG.zip (ensure the extension is not .zip.zip) and put it at the top level of your sdcard. Start the phone up in hboot mode (vol down + power), wait for it to find the file and then say yes to the flash prompt.
Don't do this on an SLCD phone or it'll break the display.
i have unrooted many times using w7 x64. i just follow the guide with wwe
Thanks I'll give that a shot!
How can I tell which screen I have? I got my Desire back in April if that's any help.
Thanks again.
Anything before July is always an AMOLED screen, so you're ok.
As long as you didn't upgrade to stock froyo that file should flash the phone fine as it doesn't require any communication with a computer.
Much love. <3
Worked a treat.
Now running 2.1-update1. I'll leave that as it is so the buyer can choose to upgrade to OTA 2.2 or root it.
Thanks again <3

Restoring Stock rom

Could I restore Stock rom on my htc m9 and how to do that?
And how I now which RUU to chose?
https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...134000&usg=AFQjCNGdzDwYjWYwYr-RSW3t2U9j47aOJw
Download this file. Copy it to your ext sdcard and rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip
Connect your phone to fastboot and type fastboot oem lock
Boot into download mode. Phone will prompt you to install. Press volup and wait.
Before u start backup ecerything
If you're already linking one of my files you could've linked my instructions, too, since what you wrote isn't completely correct. Re-locking the bootloader is unnecessary if you use the SD card method. In the worst case (e.g. if the RUU fails and OEM unlock isn't activated in the developer options) you could end up with a non-booting phone that can't be re-unlocked. The M9 has security checks that prevents it from booting if it isn't completely stock and the bootloader gets (re-)locked. And although I tested that RUU there can always be reasons why it fails to flash.
Could you be more specific please, I am new with htc and I dont know anything about it, What is fastboot? And if you have some time to tell me step buy step how to do that i would be greatiful. Sorry for bad english
Im sorry Flippy498 i just want to help him. You are a genious and i respect you. You are a life saver.

My bad. I didn't notice that my signature isn't visible in this thread.
Edit: I don't know why the link gets broken as soon as I save this post. You'll need to copy'n'paste the link.
THX a lot, now I'm gonna to try to restore stock rome!
@Flippy498 I have just one question, I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly but I still have Software Status marked as Modified. Would I be able to receive software updates ?
Yes, you will. And you'll be able to install them, as well. (Receiving updates is not the problem, it's being able to install them if the system has been modified. However, a RUU reverts every modification you made.)
It's just strange that the flag still says that your system is modified. Normally the SD card method should reset it to original. But that shouldn't be a problem. OTAs don't check that flag. They compare whether the checksum of the system is the same as the reference value. Since a RUU overwrites the current system with the stock one you won't face any problems here.
Thanks a lot dude for your great work and quick reply !
