HTC Bricked - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello, Please Help
I,m an E-pat living in spain and got a new HTC Touch through my servise provider (Movistar), Of course it came with Spanish Windows Mobile, and I needed it in English, so I decided to flash it with an English-language ROM
Touch_Dual_WWE_2.01_2.20.707.1B_03.07.90 after i had sim and cid unlocked it first
Unfortunately I was not aware until it was too late that there are multiple different Touch models, and I obviously flashed an incompatible ROM . At first everything looked good, then I noticed that the phone rebooted every three minutes, and finally, having been switched off, it no longer will switch on. The orange led comes on for a few seconds, then disappears; a soft or hard reset produces the Movistar logo screen, then it switches off again.
I can put it into the bootloader tricolor screen by holding the camera button for a while; and i get the USB words appering in the bottom left of the screen, but i cannot activate activesycn to try and load a correct Rom. I have tried to load 3 elf Rom,s through the RUU without success.
Is there some way i can flash a WWE Rom or have i bricked my new phone ?
This is the origonal Rom
Rom version 2.20.621.1.esp
Radio 03.07.90
protocol 4.1.13.51
Ext 2.20.621.101
Devise 010050
Htc 304
Thanks Zomac

have you tried looking for the answer here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374
you may have to try flashing the original spanish rom if you can find it
On an athena the phone is not bricked if you can get into the tricolor bootloader,
but to flash a lot of roms the phone must be have another SPL loaded.
if you search the forum there are usually many people who have made the same mistake as you previously.

Unable to boot up after upgrade ROM to WM6

I follow instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313486 but after hardreset.
My p800w is stuck in T-Mobile logo and version number. It can't continue booting up to windows mobile.
Question: How to flash ROM without ActiveSync?
How to recovery my Artemis?
Welcome any advice,
Thanks in advance.
Yea me to, mine is now a brick after that upgrade? No active sync connection possible and all I get now is the blue O2 start screen after the hard reset with the red writing and numbers in the top left hand corner..
Phone is an UK XDA Orbit
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
HELP!!!!!!!
yeah, I had the same problem and have created a thread for it already. unfortunately I got no useful replies, and it seems that I am stuck waiting for an official o2 ROM so that I can recover my Orbit.
It seems there is a way to un brick our phones I just need to get my phone bootted into bootlader mode which no one seems to say how to do??
Can anyone help how I can boot my Orbit , like what combo of keys I need to press to boot it into bootloader mode then XP will see it at a driver level apparently Active Sync still won;t but I will be able to run some German ROM update with the ROM file replaced with the other ones and it may come back to life..
Help how can I boot my phoen in bootloader mode???

Correct and use mtty
Already see in the forum ....
Thanks guys and apologies for the spelling..I ran the Artemis_USPL before I tried upgrading to WM6 and again have been able to run it after with my new brick now with the phone in bootloader mode but still when I try and run the german ROM update a) it will only work with the german file which freezes @ 3%? This seems to be a known problem reading around and b )when I replace it with the smaller ROM file, 54MB the german one is 66MB, I originally tried to use it doesn't read the ROM file or the update utility doesn't want to read it. I reckon I might be able to get it back if I can get one of the ROM update utilities to read a good ROm file and send it to the phone.
I can;t find this MTTY program to sniff the USB port and return the code of if the USPL util wokred as I think that could be key to all of this.
Can anyone post a quick how to here for
1) install MTTY from somewhere
2) what command to run agaist the phoen to see if the USPL util worked and what values I should be looking for
3) another WM6 ROM version (that the update utils can read) download location I can download from to try and send to the phone using the German update util
Not asking for much am I but I desperately need my phone back WM5 or 6 in the next day or so so really can't send it off.
Thanks
Error message I recive at the 3% stage when using the German ROM and english update util.
use the file attach and read that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285112
Thanks but I'm not that cleud up on what commands I'm meant to be sending. It works in Bootloader mode I ge a response from the phone by send it a command. But even if I get a response telling me what the CID status is its not much help as I think ti shoudl have tekane BEBEs ROM by now as I've got the german ROMUpdateUtility sending that 54,272KB file to the phone but it stops after 3%. What are my options?

That's right. On older models MTTY was quite useful, but not on the Artemis. You cannot use it to read the CID status anyway. If you are not sure about the status, run the USPL tool, just to make sure.
I've already re run the USPL ROMUpdateUtility and it completes 100% okay in bootloader mode. But after I hard reset and then try and flash the WM6 BEBE ROM or any ROM German etc back onto it it either fails with the error code I posted up earlier or gets to 3% and fails.
What are my options at this stage? Does anyone have a link to another ROM I can try like the original WM5 O2 ROM or any other WM6 ROm that might work. I'm willing to give them all a try as it's just a useless phone right now and I haven;t sent it off as 1) I need it before the weekend and 2) As I can flash some ROMs with the USPL and others have done this no problem I really feel there must be a solution as I can still falsh the phone.
What can I say RTFM... I did it all right and I didn't have a brick, I missed out one small detail... loading on the ROM with the extended ROM. All now running and it does seem a little faster than WM5.
Thank you to all those that tried to help out. To the others that are still having probs.. Don't try and run the update in the middle of a busy day in the office whilst trying to manage 100 other things meaning you are probably missing out a line like me...
One question though how do I get back my O2 power and storage meters on the today screen back as I liked them and the WiFi seems to have a bug where when it is enabled and you click on the WiFi symbol up the top it only allows you to switch it on, when it is already on.. so you have to open up the COMM manager to switch it off.
So how did you fix it exactly? I have read this thread thoroughly and can't find out what you did!
ERROR[206] occurs while trying to update ROM to WM6
While tring to update ROM to WM6 on O2 XDA Orbit i encounter ERROR[206].
I wanted to attach the screen shot but dont know how to do that, but anyway what i am doing is i attached my pda to my pc via activesync using supplied usb cord. Everything goes well till i reach a screen where it says "You are now ready to update your ROM image...." and once i click next a progress bar apperas and my pda shuts and activesync exit's automatically and my pda tries to restart with RBG band and some text:RUU, IPL 1.25.0001, SPL 1.25.0000 and USB. And thats it after few seconds or a min i get the ERROR[206] and my pda hangs.
I dont know why Activesysn shutsdown ???
Just an additional in i want to tell that without installing activesync i am not able to connect/pair my pda with my pc. So do i need to install the drivers and then try or it doen't matter cause once i install Active sync i can connect the device.
Please help me with this....
Thanks

Bootloader
I had a problem with my phone loaded touch flow 4 and cid unlocking, everything was fine then after a while it froze at boot up.
I look put the battery and did a hard reset, put it into bootloadeder mode, reflashed with a t-mobile rom does not need to be cid unlocked to do that.
Once origonal rom was working, cid unlock again, flashed back to touchflow 4.0 - sorted
Where did you got an tmobile rom from can you tell me. Mine is also freezing on booting almost once every day or so after I've upgraded to 4.0

Which is your device a G3 or G4 ? post the IPL/SPL...? of the phone to determine the version. As far as it gets to bootloaders (tricolor screen) you are safe,its just a bad flash,nothing to worry,you'll soon have it working fine.
Which rom were you trying to upgrade to ? and what exactly were you doing.First, is your phone SIM/CID unlocked,if you were trying to upgrade to a latest wm6 rom,its essential to have the phone CID unlocked
Secondly,while in bootloaders, Activesync doesn't work,you got to have a working OS on the phone to sync with activesync,but when in bootloaders and usb appears in the bottom of the screen,you can flash the rom.
Cheers!
K Jam hangs at blue screen
Hi to all,
I have a K jam more then 1 years old. Now It is giving some probem. There is no display but only light in the screen but I make call and recieve calls!.
First time when problem arised. I pressed 3 battons(2 left side and 1 up side)the screen will became perfect and when I remove the battery & reinserted, the problem arised again.

"i tried to upgrade my HTC Touch Dual with an HTC Touch official ROM"
I'm confused. HTC Touch Dual and HTC Touch are two different devices so obviously it won't work... unless you mean you tried to upgrade your Touch Dual with a Touch Dual ROM.
I have a HTC Touch not the Touch Dual, but try putting your phone in the tri-color mode by pressing Power+Camera+Reset. Then plug your phone in and try upgrading again with the correct ROM. Your PC will not see the phone, but the ROM Update Utility should.
actually... i meant what i wrote ... i tried to upgrade an HTC Touch Dual with an HTC Touch ROM and that's what happened ... Now i did what toled me to do (pressing Power+Camera+Reset) and I've got the tri-color screen then i started the upgrade Utility but it did not see the phone then i disconnected the phone and soft restarted it by the styles and got the same old situation ( black screen and red led on connection) and the phone is not entering the tri-color mode using the same method u toled me to use and worked last time (pressing Power+Camera+Reset)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What should i do ...
please help me coz no one to ask near me and we have no HTC center here in Iraq and it look's like that i'm the only one who carry an HTC phone in the hole country!!!
Now ...here is what I've got:
thankfully managed to get back to the tri-color screen it seem's that i had a problem with USB cable ,any way ...i started the ROM upgrade utility that i downloaded from the HTC official web site that named (RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship) at the first time i had a connection error 260 then i disconnected the phone then reconnected it the PC saw the phone and the upgrade utility did too and started to upgrade the ROM but when it reached 1% i had this error (ERROR [294] INVALID VENDER ID ) with an "Exit" button !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's some kind of a progress .. right..but what's wrong ?? Q/ is the ROM ?? A/ I downloaded it from the official web site and it's for the HTC Touch Dual...then what????
Please do not let me down ... my hops are only on ur experiences.
Regards.

A couple of questions:
1. Is your phone unlocked?
2. The official ROM you downloaded, is it from your carrier?
3. Who is your carrier?
I'm afraid I'm at my limits. If the ROM you downloaded is officially from your carrier and it failed during installation, you could try the following:
1. Unlock your phone and use a custom rom made for your carrier
2. Pray
Maybe you will get better answers by posting in the forum specific to your phone (Nike I believe). You will find some good information in that forum anyway.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see you already posted the same question in there.
Good luck.

Help - my Diamond can't boot

Hi,
I have my Diamond over a year and all was great till one day, suddenly it can't load the OS.
After power on, the black screen with "TOUCH Diamond" appear,
then it shows the radio version in red at the right bottom of the screen and from there nothing happen.
I tried to flash several ROMs & Radios, including the original ROM from HTC site but nothing.
The process of flashing seems to be fine and in fill all the 100% bar,
then it restart like during regular ROM flashing procedure but still no boot.
I tried to flash other hard-spl and still nothing.
I'm really lost and I hope someone has an idea for a solution.
Thanks
sorry if it's not the right place for this topic,
I also put it on general Diamond post so this one can be deleted.

[Q] Missing original HTC DESIRE ROM

Hi Developers and users !
I have a HTC Desire from Denmark (Scandinavia).
I have tried to install a custom Rom on the phone which was successful.
After a few months i wanted to go back to the original ROM that it had, because some of the buttons suddently stoped working (Volume down, Menu button,home button). I made a giant mistake and didnt took a backup of my original HTS Desire Rom, so I therefore found a rom on this forum and installed it on my phone.
Afterwards i have had my phone to the repair center and they found out that my phone had condensation, so it couldnt be fixed.
After some months my buttons that didnt work start working again, but now it suddently restarts by itself and sometime when it restarts, it just freezes on the HTC Desire splash screen. After some time it starts up...
Sometime i have to start it via Power button + volume down button -> fastboot -> Reboot.
I think i have a problem with my socalled "original rom" that i have installed. maybe its not the right one to this phone, and thats why I am creating this threat.
I have attached two jpg. pictures of my fastboot screen.
The first picture shows my HBOOT fastboot menu.
The second shows that the fastboot menu has a error in it, when it loads. It says "No image" or "wrong image". Therefore I am 100 % shure that the rom is wrong and not the condensation thing. I have used my phone 4 months after i had it to the repair check without the biggest issues, but now it wont restart sometimes.
I think i maby is missing the right Radio for this model.
I have searched this Forum thin for the same problem, and i couldnt find anything, therefore i am writing this.
Can anyone help me with the right original Rom for my phone model ?
Phone model:
HTC Desire
If you need any other information please write it.
I hope you guys would help m find the right ROM for my phonemodel.
Best regards
Tokay_dk
I am interested in the answer to this, too. I recently purchased an HTC Desire that seems to have the WWE_Asia ROM on it. I would like to install a rom with the Danish language that will work in Denmark because I want to give it to a friend who lives in Denmark.
