A friend gave me a TMobile Dash which only crashing on the second TMobile screen, wont go any further than that. Active sync won't detect it. I have tried to hard reset with no luck. I can access the bootloader mode and it shows:
Excalibur
ONBL 1.22.0000
Excalibur
SPL 1.22.0000
Excalibur IU
Is there anything that can be done to revive this phone?
Thanks
Yes you can hold down the sym button (camera button) located down to the right of the space bar. Hold this button down for about 5 seconds and while still holding it down plug in a usb cord and you should see a tri-colored screen. Then flash the phone with the original offical rom (t-mobile rom) which can be download from the link below. Once you have this going you can then update to the 6.1 by following the tutorial. Let me know how it works.
I see a choice of three ROMs for TMobile Dash would anyone do the job?
Yes anyone would do the choice, the most recent one is the lowest one (3rd).
I used 1.22.531.4 an it still only just stays at the second tmobile screen.
1.22.531.6 is has a RUU_signed.nbh file in it not to sure how to use this.
Any other fixes?
Try to use another one, see if it works. And also, are you running it from your computer...
Yes I am running it form my computer. None of the others are working either.

Boot rom is cancelled from PDA?
There is a another mode ?

Help me!
Another Idea?
Power+light+reset = bootloader mode as already posted. It does not light up though, you can only see the bootloader screen if you look at it in bright sunlight or shine a light at it. Try charging it overnight the press power+light+reset, connect it to your PC then run the upgrade. If it really isn't going into bootloader mode then you will probably need to send it off for repair to vodafone.
i just had exactly the same problem, even the pc does not recognize it at all, activesync doent work, what to do please

I do not have hopes. There is not image on display. I have tried with power+reset+lamp hard reset - + - + Reset!!! Power+ camera + Reset!!!
Display black and nobody written of the boot loader.
Useless if the boot loader it is cancelled is not restorable. Unfortunately it goes in repair.

Shalom tabasco, well not really, i had it like that for a week, i evenhad it on charge for almost 3 days, the screen came at one point when i upgraded a rom, but the screen had a funy colour and it was stuck in bootloader, done all reset you can imagin, i even rand O2 to collect it for repair
seems to me that I created a problem for myself too. Can't escape bootloader mode. This 3 stages runs fine, but after final 100% CE screen, when I doing hard reset, writes "Clearing now" and goes back to bootloader screen :roll: How to make him alive? I even did short on backup battery (opened back cover), but nothing effective
ok ok i pressed several times buttons which activates bootloader and it comes to normal activity. Was it a joke or something else ?
Good for you
Did u try to do as given here? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen - do all this, maybe it will solve. Be ezrat ashem
But anyway I'll going to make him swallow this new ROM from T-Mobile, but later, not at work... :wink:
hi,
did you solve your problem yet ?
Dash Bricked Need Help!!!
I tried using a the google mail java app on my tmobile dash. It froze up on me, and when i turned it back on it just stays at the "tmobile" splash screen. I have tried using the soft key and power button reset but it doesnt work. What's weird is that it wont power down unless I take the battery out. It powers on, shows the tmobile splash screen, then freezes. Is there any other way to reset it or is it totally bricked? I bought it new off craiglslist so tmobile wont replace it for me cause I'm using it unlocked on cingular.
The power key reset should work. Could you be doing it wrong?
I was facing the same problem but after doing hard reset (Power Off, Press 2 soft key, Press Power On Key for 2 seconds then release soft key) worked fine. Seems timing is very important, try and try.
Help, i think i bricked my phone!
I was installing the WM6 Update released on this website, everything was going fine when i saw that my lil' cousin' disconnected my phone while i moved away from the PC (he pulled the phone altogether).
Now my phone is stuck in the bootloader mode screen (tricolor, blue green/red i think). It detects USB (it says USB on the bottom of the screen whenever i connect it). Is there a fix for it for the DASH? I read the wiki about a fix for a similar problem for the Hermes, but that didnt work for mine.
Can anybody help me please?!
Mine's a T-Mobile Dash with the stock rom from T-Mobile.
remove and reinsert the battery
if that does not work paperweight thats how i ruined my cingular 2125
Oh god, all this brickage makes me too scared to update. Can anyone direct me to where I can find how to backup my current setup so that I could reload it if something went wrong or I didnt like the Beta WM6?

Just try the flash again and it should start working. I had my computer bluescreen while I was flashing an SDA and got to the tricolor screen. It flashed fine after trying again. If its not detecting right. Pop out the battery on the phone and restart your computer and attempt the flash again. Shouldn't be a problem. Definitely scary though. I don't think you can brick these unless you mess up the bootloader perhaps...

power off, hold the camera key beside Space Tab for about 3 sec, and then press power key while still pressing the cam key.
You are a GOD. Thanks.
you have no idea why it gives you warnings not to run any programs or disconnect while the ruu is updating you think they just give you warning messages because the htc techs have nothing better to do????????

Well, tried that, but the computer doesnt detect the phone, meaning it wont connect to ActiveSync. Since it won't connect to activesync the program wont install it on the phone since it can't find it.
Good thing i have insurance. Bad thing i'm trying again as soon as i get the replacement
Are there any alternatives though? Maybe i can fix it before i send this one back.
restart your computer again..
This is from HTC Q&A
Q: I use RUU to update and failed, and my device always boots in three-color mode and cannot enter CE OS anymore, what should I do now?
A: If the update process has failed, you will see that your device will always boot in three-color mode. It's normal and can be recovered. Please follow the instructions below to reset your device and to establish a connection with the computer.
1. Disconnect your Mobile Device from the USB cradle/cable.
2. Reset your Mobile Device.
3. Reconnect your Mobile Device to the USB cradle/cable.
4. Check that the communication cradle/cable is connected properly.
5. Return to the ROM Update Utility.
Note: You should ignore the ActiveSync connection.
WM6: Endless Bootup Loop
A few days before the official TMobile WM6 update came out I download the widely posted leaked version. The Dash started acting up during bootup one day, so I reflashed with the TMobile WM6. Now the same thing just started, and the device can't be used.
When powered on it does the quick vibrate, TMobile screen, Windows Mobile Screen, TMobile screen again, with power up 'jingle', then it just shuts off and starts the bootup sequence again. Endlessly.
Have tried removing the battery, etc. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas of a keypress combo or something I can press during bootup that might jump-start it??? Thanks!
Take out the microSD card and the unit should boot properly. Mine was fixed with a new SIM card, but a new device may also be needed.
Wound up doing a hard reset. I had tried taking out the microSD card, then it would just hang on the TMobile screen. I also tried rebooting without the SIM card in, then it would do the loop thing. I'm thinking it must be related to software loading during the boot, and the only program I have on the microSD card that loads during bootup is FizzWeather.

I think this may at times be related to an auto-install file being present.
If you hold down the "end" key during boot-up it seems to prevent the cycling.
Thanks, will keep that in mind if it happens again. By 'end' key, do you mean the red phone icon key that you hang up on a call with?

Hi member of this excelent forum, Im newbie here my question is how I can boot a dead exca100 and also I need spanish ROM file for recovery again, mates who can help me with this problem?
What are you referring to by dead. Does it not power on cause if it doesn't you can always get a new battery from ebay.

if the hard reset is what you're talking about... I believe you hold down the two "soft keys" while your power on the device.
--The soft keys are the upper most keys to the left and right of the center nav and silver key.

Check this thread for bootloader.
Or are you just on about Hard Reset?
Press the sym button and hold it down. Then while still holding it down plug in a usb cable and the tri colored screen should come up. Now you can load the original rom that the phone came with.

what do you mean by( I can't unlock the exca)?
Hard Reset
Hard Reset will most likely solve the problem. I had the same problem.
TO HARD RESET:
-Turn off the phone
-Hold 2 soft keys
-press the power button for 3-5 seconds(still holding two soft keys)
-black screen will show up saying that pressing send key(green) will restore your settings to original settings.
-press send(still holding two soft keys)
-the end.
NB: YOU'LL LOSE YOUR PHONE'S DATA.
For Hard-Reset see sticky "a picture tells a million words"
The hard reset dont work, frezz in HTC screen I wait 2 hrs.
I dont want unlock, I want normal funcions.

You have tryed Hard-Reset not work, remove battery for about 5 mins and replace, try again "Normal boot then if not work try Hard-Reset"
Sorry for my poor english, Im from mexico.
I try the master reset many times it does not work, of several ways, extracting the battery for 5 minutes, 1 hr, 3 days, and it does not complete the reset, freeze in the htc screen, or another times in windows mobile logo screen.
When attempt to change the flash (for solving the problem) the process does not continue of 3%, this happens so I cant execute the jump USPL aplication.
In summary:
reset hard not work (hold 2 soft keys / turn on / black screen / send key)
Change the Rom for repair de damage not work (I cant load the aplication for jump USPL)
Write Rom direct in the bootloader (3 color screen) not work (hold camera button and tur on)
Any idea?
Change bootloader?
Another powerfull rom?
Special software?
Special combination to delete all in the internal memory without entering Romupdateutility locks or windows?
Please helpme to recover my excalibur.
this is so easy to fix,
your old rom now crashed, hardreset can't help you,
to repair,just download a new rom then open bootloader mode.

Dont work the reflash in bootloader (try 10 times), I flash the rom and the phone frezz in the same screen (WM logo screen).
Help.
Hello, this is my first post here. I tried to install Windows Mobile 6.5 as indicated in Gizmodo http://gizmodo.com/5281397/how-to-install-windows-mobile-65-right-now but it didn't work and now my phone won't boot.
The phone is an HTC Touch Diamond from Sprint. I followed all the steps indicated and everything look fine, but after installing the OS the phone displays the screen TOUCH DIAMOND, and then restarts and displays the same thing. I'm able to get into the boot loader (Tri color screen) and says:
DIAM500
SPL-0.57.CMONEX
MicroP-Diam (LED) vB
PSOC-Diam STAGE_EVT v20.
I don't know what to do now
Thanks
try to load back to default setting by pressing the power on button at the top of the phone, before the "Touch Diamond" logo come up, press and hold volume down button and the center button until the three color screen come out, then release the two button you are pressing..
if the problem still happen, that mean the rom you are using should have risk on it..
give it up and try other rom or flash it again..
hope my suggestion can help you solve the problem..
dont worry.
if bootloader is possible as you write
than you can flash all time orig. rom back.

Hi I have the same issue on my HTC Diamond. I flashed wm 6.5 and it was working fine, then it hanged on titanum weather. I reset and it stayed on the HTC Diamond page, I did hard reset and got the Olinex 1.40 3 color page. It does respond from serial to usb when I plug/unplug. Can I reflash without active sync?
Turns out I was able to flash, but both roms I tried work well on 1st install, but stay stuck on the Touch Diamond screen everytime I restart de device. Is it a problem with the radio not compatible , or is there a specific Hspl for each ROM???
I found solution for this problem. If your diamond won't boot go to bootloader mode and upgrade your radio http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=26 and after that your dimond worked fine without loosing data.
try to hard reset the phone by pressing vol down key + the center button + reset button.
if the problem is still like dat..
try to install another rom..

Thanks davidwong007 for your help, I was experiencing the same issue as op and your method did the trick. For a minute there I thought I had bricked my HTC Touch. I did step by step what you suggested and ended up in the rainbox screen, once I was able to do that, I knew there was a hope. i did a full factory reset of the phone and voila the phone fully booted, the pain in the butt touchflow loaded. Very important thing I forgot to do in the past is to back up my phone, after the restore you will lose everything on phone, except what is in the internal storage. Thanks again.
