I bought a 2nd hand XDA Orbit with all the correct software and that. I've had a problem with it before, nothing a good hard reset couldn't solve. But today, I did exactly the same thing for a hard reset, and now doesn't go past the O2 screen and just goes black!
I cannot hard reset again, and I cannot go into the bootloader (hold power + voice thing on the other side, push the reset with stylus and let go while still holding the buttons on either side). I'm rather scared I've bricked the device, but I am sure the previous owner did not load any unofficial ROMs and I haven't either and I still have the original WM2003 CD. Wouldn't be a problem if I eventually had to go to an O2 shop would it? Lets hope it can be sorted! And seeing as quite a few people have had this with varying degrees of sucess, I fear my luck may be out with this thing .
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Oh and I don't think my device i CID unlocked, does this matter?
Thanks in advance x

mods..can u please delete this now pointless thread!

Hi.
My power button broke off and I was not able to soder it and so now I can't turn it off or on. I have a app that will do this for me but what I really need is to put my xda IIs in BOATLOADER without the need to press, power,record button and soft reset. So I'm asking if anyone knows a way for me to do this without the power button. I have searched and seearched and I really need some help here. I'm running WM5 but I am having problems with the backlight and camera and some of my paid software that will not work. So I want to downgrade to the original rom.
I will be watching this post every hour or so, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
that happened to mine, do you want to just like hard resest your device? THe only way is probable to take your battery out and let the internal battery drain!
I took my phone to my local phone repair shop and they charged £15 to it, apparently it was really difficult to do!
Thanks for the reply andy! I thought this forum was way better than this in helping people out. I appreciate your response. I do know how to give it a hard reset by pressing the camera and record button as I do a soft reset. But what I am trying to do is to get my xda to the bootloader position so I can go back to windows 2003se. From what I have read you can only do that by pressing the power button and the other buttons I wrote above. I have no power button so I'm trying to find out another way to roll back to windows 2003se.
If anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks again.
In the magician shipped-roms there's an executable to do this, maybe for your device too? If there's one you'll recognize it at once, just execute & its gone into Bootloader.
Regards, M
I looked and there is none in my ppc. I also copied that file over from a download I found here and it does not do anything. So far I have the WM5 running pretty fast, faster than ever! I just can't get the backlight to work and the camera. Tried every file and nothing gets this fixed. So I have to use my xda with the backlight in full brightness.
Btw, there is a way to hard reset the device so that it will run really fast. I probably will start another thread showing the steps, I think it is so worth doing it cause my xda now movew really quick.
Thanks for all the help!
Phone: EXCA200 (as read on the back) AZERTY keyboard. ActiveSync says is a HTC-S620
Story: My best friend bought this phone in France and some guy tried to be nice and apparently tried to install some games on it. He broke it. She came to me after and said, "if you fix it you can keep it-- but i don't think you can". ( She was using the phone in the US with a US carrier at that time i think it was Cingular)
When I turn on the phone and after the HTC and WinMobile screens the sim error screen appears (the phone has no sim) and 999999 as if the "9" key is stuck. After that, the phone just goes crazy with alarms and if I'm lucky and get over that just 9999999999999 endlessly. I thought at first that it was water damage so i took it apart and found no evidence of water whatsoever.
I found the HTCwiki and tried the hard reset technique (pressing power button while pressing the two open keys) and after 50+ tries i gave up. No luck.
I found a couple good threads that describe how to reflash the phone with RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe" and RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
I get "ERROR 294" INVALID VENDOR ID
Please!! Help!! My experience with smart phones is 2 days with a broken one.
I live in Mexico and smart phones are still something you only see on TV. No one to ask, nowhere to go.
Sincerely,
Salvador333
Where is everyone?
Nobody has any advice?
Nothing?
Do i have to unlock the phone? Can you use a locked phone in France and then in the US without unlocking it?
Should I pay 38 dlls?

Mr monakh:
Ive tried the reset sequence many times before starting a new thread. Ive spent many hours just doing that in all the imaginable different timings. All I get is the HTC screen first and the Windows mobile screen second, after that, without a SIM, a screen telling me i have no sim and in the cursor just 99999 and after many alarms it crashes; with a sim, it will boot and 9999999... and the the screen locks and its impossible to press "unlock *"
This is the reason I'm asking for help. The only thing I can imagine is to re-flash the phone. I tried to re-flash it, but apparently i have to pay to get my phone unlocked before being able to re-flash. Is this true?
I really appreciate your help. Thank You.
Salvador.
I also want to add that i know its not a hardware problem, I disconnected the keyboard from the motherboard and the 99999 still there.
Is it possible that the hard reset sequence described above doesn't work? --(both soft keys work)
Is there a way to remap the 9 key into a harmless key, so i can hard reset the phone trough software?
(the phone syncs normally to my computer)
Thanks.
The hard reset sequence should work. I don't know of any reason, short of hardware failure, why it wouldn't.
I think you can try re-flashing the ROM, if you like, but it really is more likely to be a hardware problem than a ROM issue. It doesn't necessarily have to do with the keyboard (you actually disconnected the keyboard?!) but you can still can get the '9' for other reasons.
You don't need to get the phone CID unlocked to get a different ROM, but you do have to play around a bit to get it done. I am sorry, I can't offer more step by step help but it might be beneficial for you if you read through the following two threads:

I thought it was water damage at first, but when i took it apart, i couldn't find anything to indicate there was any liquid in there. I thought maybe the keyboard was the problem and, yes, i did disconnect it from the motherboard (its actually really easy) and the same 9999. What other hardware reasons could make the "9" problem? I cant find any reason to believe its hardware. I boots kind of normally, it goes into manual bootloader no problem, it syncs with my computer etc. It just wont go into the hard reset mode! WEIRD.
I read the threads and the only clue i found to re-flash was to downgrade the bootloader by getting the phone in manual bootload (camera button and connecting USB) and run the .exe. I did, and INVALID VENDOR ID. Is anything i missed in the threads to be able to re-flash?
I truly appreciate your comments.

CID, 111111, google.
Im on it.
Thanks!
dude why not replace it its under warranty man stop making an issue of this do your hoemwork read just like everyone else !!
I did it!
I tried the cid 111111 bla bla, and it was jut to much effort for a phone so i just went to imei-check and unlock everything. Damn! 40dlls, many Mexican pesos. So i installed the German version ROM and the F... 99999999 was still there!!!! I wanted to kill myself, monakh you were right. I opened the phone for like the 20th time and i knew it was hardware... and there it was, lead rust in the keyboard connector. I took a tooth brush, some alcohol and i brushed. Voilà! no more "9" I could have saved money time and effort if i just had looked close enough.
I'm happy i got into this, i love to learn new tricks.
You guys were really helpful, and a bit shady, i have to say.
Thank you.
Salvador.
. I think i am smart dumb!!.. <<-"Try Reseting the CID" haha.
This happens when you have too much of knowledge...!! truely education spoiled me!!
Glad it worked out for you and I am sorry you had to pay $40 but hopefully it will pay off for you in the long run.
leoiden, if you note, he is in Mexico and has no reasonable means to exchange the phone under warranty. It was acquired in France. Please pay more attention to the original post before prancing down someone's throat. Thanks.
Hi Guys...
This is going to amke me sound like a right noob...
I have an O2 XDA IIs, but need to remove the O2 theme from it as i have unlocked it and put a different flavour of Sim Card in it.
When i bought th phone it didn't have the O2 theme on it, but them the battery ran flat and when it reloaded after being charged...It had the O2 Theme on it.
Any Advices would be apreciated.
Cheers Guys
Hard reset the device and when it boots up sit with it, at the end of the customisation it will offer a screen to install personal mode or Corporate mode, select Corporate mode and enter the numbers 0506 as the password, this will stop the device loading all that useless crap on to it.
Make sure you sit with it though as the default is to time out and install personal mode thus putting the crap on the phone - Mike

I down a rom from here and flash my D810, after flash, ever thing ok. Then I installed a Chinese language pack. After installed, the two function key can not work. I think was the Chinese Language pack problem. So I uninstalled it. Now is the problem coming. My D810 can not start. Only stay in start logo. Hardreset also not work. Can not go to bootloader. Now what can i do. Please help me, thanks~~~~~
Hi there.
Switch off your phone and switch it back on pressing power and camera buttons together. This should lead you to Hard-SPL "Menu". After the appearance of a multi-color screen, you are able to connect your phone to a computer and install a new ROM.
My advice is to try the original HTC Rom, which can be found on Original Roms Post. This should let you test default factory configuration and validate if the problem has something to do with the keyboard or just the ROM.
Thank you for your reply. But the big problem is I can not go to the multi-screen color. I try it many time. I think my D810 end.

Never End... (Hopefully)
Could it be that one of your buttons is not pressing all the way? I've had trouble lately getting a couple of my buttons to press. Try pressing just a "Little" harder taking care not to break anything.
And just to confirm: You are holding down 'Power', 'Camera', and then pressing and releasing 'Reset'? I'm sure you are, I just wanted to confirm.
I do this many many time,just stay in start logo and the key are no response
I was hoping to help you on the cheapest way... The other one, is disassemble it... Check Dimanto's guide, which i can confirm, is good. Just did it step-by-step and it is perfect...
Dimanto's Guide to disassemble Trinity
if what SuperSport was suggesting is not valid (keys got stuck) maybe you have a MoBo problem if it's only a keyboard, it's cheap enough to repair, i hope...
Something I had not thought about previously... Have you tried to remove the Battery for about 30 Seconds to see if it will reset?
I not yet try this, after try this, I report to you, thx~~
I think can not disassemble it, it is to difficult for me, any way thank you very much.

If you decide not to try to fix it, don't throw it away. I'm sure people on here would be willing to buy it to try to fix it, or for parts.
If you want to try to remove the battery, you need to slide the back plate up. It does take a little force if you've never done it before. Use your thumbs and push it up.
Edit: Place your thumbs where the large circles are in the attached image and press up towards the camera lense, sliding the backplate up.
Good luck.
I removed the battery around 20 hours, the answer is same. Still stay in start logo.
I didn't throw it away, i want to fit it. I like this phone very much. I hope it alive again, thanks~~

I'm sorry that none of the simple things have worked. It sounds as though pjvieira might be right. It may be a hardware issue. Hopefully just the buttons, but maybe the motherboard. pjvieira's suggestions would be the next thing to try.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

I think is the hardware problem. Maybe the OS damage, so only stay in start logo. Maybe sent to shop for maintence.
Hello, I don't know much about what i'm doing guess u can call me a virgin to the modding game. I'm a blackberry user so please bare with me. I'm thinking about joining team droid and I found my moms old HD2 lying around. It was having problems (un responsive touch screen) and I managed to find a place to fix that. I walk out the repair shop and start driving home and the phone is rebooting itself, stuck on a screen that says NRG Energize. I'm guessing whoever gave it to her had a rom installed? Now i tried holding down the volume down button and the power button, and also holding down the volume down button while pressing the reset button on the back but all that does is bring me to a multi colored screen that doesnt go away and reads:
PB81120 HV B3
SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE
'
can anyone, if anyone tell me where do i start in fixing this problem? any helpful links? advice on if i can get passed this, if theres a better rom out there and how i would go about installing.
please and thanks in advance. sorry if i am posting wrong or if theres another post i should be looking at, any guidance would help.

This should probably be put in the HD2 Android NAND Development Forum of the HTC HD2..... but I'm gonna help you anyway!
First you should look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837 read it and study it GOOD!!
Then choose a rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928
Use the instructions from the first link to flash the new rom.
Thanks, prior to reading this i was able to get the stock rom from t-mobile and load it up from my sd card. Now my issue is if it starts up it freezes during set up and goes into a bootloop or it just goes thru a bootloop when i turn it on. I guess the first step (from what i've read today) is when i get home to check the battery pins? not even exactly sure how they are suppose to look but i'll mess around with them (hopefully they dont break) when i get back home... i'm at work unable to focus thinking about fixing this phone lol.
