Hard Reset caused...

Hi All, I did a hard reset today on my phone and ever since the call buttons have changed.
I have some bad pictures of what has happened but I tried to reset it another 2 times after it went like this and it didn't correct the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe editing the registry?
Its like the buttons don't have the 3d stand out effect but its as if they are pushed in if you get me?

I just wanted to add that I have tried changing themes and the problem still exists.

Which ROM are you using?

The Rom is 2.15.502.3
I havent been able to update using the usb or micro sd method so I am stuck with the old rom

Did you have Hard SPL V7 installed on your Hemes?
Did you format the sd card fat32 and was it 2Gb or less?
Did you rename the .nbh file to Hermimg.nbh?
These 3 things are the major reasons the sd card method fails....
Go to page 116, post 1160 of this thread to use the sd card method to install Hard sPL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...

I did all of those
It just gets stuck on the tri color screen.
Thanks

At bootloader (tri-colour screen), whats the SPL?
Also, I can't say this enough, make sure that the sd card has been formatted FAT32 . Best if done in a card reader through windows, not through the phone.
I've had people swear that they had and then posted later that it was only formatted FAT.
Double check that the .nbh file has been renamed hermimg.nbh too.
These are little things but will screw up any effort to flash.
Cheers...

What device
what device are you using?
if not supercid then cid must match rom when you flash?
read this again

xooku, thats why we install Hard SPL.... It effectively superCIDs your Hermes. If you have it, it doesn't matter what CID you had previously..
Cheers...

I have done all this countlessly, It still goes to the Tri Colour screen, Says loading.. for a split second and then it goes back to the tri colour screen.
Does the card have to be completly erased apart from the hermimg file?

yes completely format the card first. Then load the card with the HERMIMG.nbh and flash. Let us know if it works.

It would be if you had formatted it FAT32 just before flashing... Back it up 1st though.

Is it bricked?

Hello, i have searched on this forum and haven't found a way to solve my problem:
I flashed HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V5_WWE_12.11.2008
on my hermes, and then performed a sprite Backup Recovery with system settings.
Then my Hermes booted until the HTC animation came with the sound, but then it stayed that way.
I tried to connect it via USB, but it wouldn't recognize it when i tried to reflash it, soon i tried to flash it via SD-card (putting a ROM *.nbh file on the formatted card, then naming it HERMIMG.nbh) still nothing. The phone is recognized by the computer an the bootloader shows connection via USB, but nothing works
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM 200
SPL-1.04
What should i do? Thanks for your help!

you can try a hard reset. steps on this page

thanks for your response, i will try that!

yea it's probably not flashing via SD card because your sd card is larger than 1gb.

Up to 2GB is fine, it's just that the card can't be SDHC because the bootloader won't recognise it. I suspect the reason it can't flash is because you hadn't SuperCID the device or you don't have HardSPL (evident from your SPL)!
You really should have read enough to know that HardSPL should be a prerequisite before flashing any ROM.
Check the WIKI for details (links in my sig)

[Q] She is bricked (pls not) HELP!

Hi,
Was running on LeeDroid 1.9, wiped and flashed for OpenDesire 3.4, came up fine then rebooted for the 3.4.2 patch and now my Desire just will not go past the HTC logo screen no matter what I do.
I can boot into recovery and have full access to everything, tried formatting the SD card and loading different ROMS but stuck @ the HTC green logo on white background.
Even Revoked3 again but the prob is not getting into the Recovery menu, its getting past that HTC screen.
Any info / idea's / help?
Thanks
Russ

If your phone turns on its not bricked, there will be a way to fix any issues your having, its just finding the correct one.
When flashing other roms did you wipe everything?
Data
Dalvik Cache
Ext parititon (if you have one)
Not wiping Dalvik is the number one reason roms get stuck bootlooping on bootscreen1.
Alternatively, it is booting but your not waiting long enough, you can always run adb logcat while booting to see if they phone is actually doing anything.

Hi,
Thank you for replying....
Figured it out that it is the SD card, here is the situation:
- Boot into recovery but cannot mount nor format the SD card
- Can see the SD card in MAC/ Windows and formated it Fat32
- Can boot without SD card
- Can boot with another SD card which is only 128Meg so cannot get LeeDroid back on it to reflash that ROM
I obviously need to format the SD card proper and it looks like I need to use Gparted but that looks like a HUGE Linux ISO download unless you know of a MAC version of it I can use?
Thanks

Found a 2Gig SD Card, got LeeDroid back on it, flashing and hoping I can boot with the original SD card so I can format with ROM manger but thinking it wont boot up with the SD card in regardless of the ROM, lets hope!

if you don't manage to boot it up. find this in the forum "PB99IMG.zip" w/o the quotes. format your sd card and put the archive in root of sd card. after that turn on your phone by pressing volume down and power on/off. wait till phone recognizes the archive and follow onscreen directions. phone should boot normally as unrooted. use unrevoked to root again and flash any rom you want.
post result.

Okay I am up but not on my original SD card, using a spare.
In recovery mode my phone refuses to mount nor format the card but can see it 100%
Seen some posts of a ADB cmd I need to use or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!

I ran "unrevoked" on my phone again and it booted when I had that problem.
But I took out the sd card when I did that. Not sure if it helps. But who knows.

Tried that, booting without the card is fine, with the card in is the issue, phone cannot see it.

Stuck at Splash screen after failed SD card

My dinc is set up like this:
9.01 radio
.92 bootloader
I flashed a rom and then it said my sd card went bad. Tried flashing another rom and it problem persisted. As a last resort i tried to reformat my sd card with no luck. got an error. I then tried to flash through recovery and did a full wipe (my mistake for doing this) but cant flash another rom since the sd card it bad. When i restart it gets stuck at the splash screen.
I bought another sd card and placed a rom which i know works on it and it seemed to have installed fine, but now when i restart i get stuck at the splash screen like i did before.
Any ideas?

Maybe i need to find the original update.zip file from when i first rooted? My sd card is empty except for that rom i put on it.
I found it. Nope, didnt work. Maybe i need to flash a recovery, though i have none anymore.

In case someone else comes across the same problem, i fixed it.
The sd card was ruined. unable to reformat or anything. Luckily i back up my sd card recently so i transfered everything to my new sd card. Went into recover and did a recovery of an old backup.

[q] sd card & internal storage not recognized = no recovery or backup restore :(

I was running skyraider 4.2 and everything was perfect. My brother in law convinced me to try nils gingersense. I made a nand first then flashed it. Everything worked fine except it nils gingersense ran slow and kind of choppy on my phone. I decided to go back to skyraider. I made another nand of nils gingersense first. I booted into recovery ran the nand and once it finished I immediately tried restoring my previous skyraider 4.3 nand which appeared to be successful. Once that finished I used the option to reboot in recovery. It started to reboot, showed my splash screen then just went to a black screen buzzed five times followed by the blinking green led. It did that every time I rebooted no matter what I tried. Finally I tried flashing the stock image and figured stock was better than a brick. This time different splash screen same result. I did some searching and found that if you plugged your phone in to the charger when the splash screen came on it would actually boot on. I tried this and was successful in getting the phone to turn on. Now the phone is back to stock and working but my SD card will not recognize on the phone (pulled it out and it works perfectly on my wife phone) and I also noticed that the 8 gb's of internal storage is also unrecognized by the phone. I am also unable to get into recovery. It shows a picture of a phone with like two green arrows making a circle and just sits there.
Any advice would be appreciated. I would like to be able to flash back to my previous skyraider nand but I would settle for a working SD card and internal memory. Thank you for any help in advance.

I could really use some help here guys. anyone?

Have you tried copying everything on your SD card to your computer and reformatting the card making sure its in FAT32 format, then copying everything back on to the card?
If not give that a try...

I haven't tried that yet but I Will. Still confused why my phone won't even read my phones internal storage also.

I would also do a factory rest and wipe your dalvik cache and what not. Worth a try.

I can't wipe the dalvic cache because that is done from recovery correct? My phone won't go into recovery without the SD card. I will try to reformat the SD card and see if that helps. I installed my wife working SD card and my phone won't recognize it either but her phone recognizes her SD card and mine fine.

Sounds like your on the stock recovery still (phone with green arrows). You need to format your sd fat32 with your pc, and then flash clockwork recovery thru hboot. You are still s-off right? And then from in recovery wipe everything in mounts and storage including emmc and sdcard, and then flash what ever rom you want.

I flashed the stock image and I believe it says s-on now. I can't get into recovery at all to flash anything. I will reformat my memory card but after that I am at a loss since my phone doesn't recognize my memory card or my internal memory at all.

If your S-On you are going to have to root your phone again first before flashing anything.

If you are s-on you will have to use unrevoked to get s-off and root again.

That is the second time in 2 days i have seen someone say they flashed a rom and somehow lost s-off doing so. The said the same black screen and 5 vibrates happened to them too. Something strange is going on with something, you should not be able to loose s-off by flashing a rom.

awesome, thank you very much. i will try this and see if it works. You guys are the best!

ok i have a fix for you that I know works, as i had this issue 2 months ago, and have a fully functioning phone now, you will notice your phone doesnt see the internal memory, or the sd card, the phone is also not detected via the usb cable. if you take the sd card out and test it in the computer it will be inaccesible, dont worry though your sd card is ok, and the data is still on it.
follow this thread/walkthrough, as it is the one that i used.
