My Dash stuck on the red,green,blue screen (please help) - HTC Excalibur

Yesterday, I tried to upgrade my T-mobile Dash ROM to WM6.1 ROM by kavana. I downloaded and ran both the SDA application unlock and the Excalibur USPL - Cid Bypass. After I completed all the steps, I run the upgrade ROM but it failed at 4% with error 270. After that, I turned the phone off and turned it back on; however, it now stuck on the red(ONBL1.10.0000), green(SPL1.10.0000), and blue(IU) screen every time I turned the phone on.
After I searched using the search function in this forum, I found several solutions, but none of them work for me. I tried to do hard reset (pressing soft buttons) with no success. I also tried to flash the original T-mobile WM5 ROM with no success(error 260) even though the phone is already connected to the PC. My computer cannot read the phone, but the USB indicator on the bottom right corner can detect there is a mobile device connected to the pc.
Is there anyway that I can do to repair my phone?

Same problem here.
On normal boot I get the HTC logo and nothing else.
Hard reset doesn't work.
I can enter the bootloader (Camera+power) but have attempted to flash several roms all failing.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks to all

Not even stuck at Bootloader :(

Please help!
I just upgraded my ROM to Ivan's latest AKU3.5 from bootloader
This completed successfully (100% successful, disconnect and restart etc)
I disconnected and reset, except it was stuck in bootloader mode
I tried the Mtty method (for the first time ever) and followed the step by step instructions...
...after a few seconds a few command lines appeared with "USB>" on the last line
I took this to mean the process had finished (?), disconnected the device from USB and tried a soft reset
the device just stayed stuck in bootloader
next, i downloaded uni_exitbootloader and ran it (as this has worked for me many times in the past). it didn't work the first few times, but i disconnected and reconnected and this time it worked. It said "data sent, you can now reset your device"
This maybe where i went wrong?
I foolishly reset the device before disconnecting it from the USB. The PC immediately said "USB device not recognised" and the screen of my Universal went blank
Now, if i soft reset, it does nothing, i cannot even put it back into bootloader using the camera, on, reset button combination.
HOWEVER, if i press the two soft keys (as if i was going to do a hard reset) i get the white screen with the black text saying "Press 0 to restore etc"
If i press 0, it says "clearing" but the screen just goes blank
If i press x, the screen just goes blank
Now i am completely unable to try and use either mtty or exitbootloader as my PC just says "USB device not recognised" and neither applications run as they should
QUESTION: Have i totally bricked my Universal?!
If not, what can i possibly do...???
As usual, i will be extremely greatful for any advice or assistance to resurrect my favourite Pocket PC!
Thanks in advance for your help.
Aaagh! I think i just realised what i did...
1. I didn't read the posting "For all those stuck in the bootscreen, try the Mamaich method" carefully enough. I didn't realise that the Mamaich method totally erased the ROM!!!
2. By not flashing a new ROM to the device immediately and instead using exitbootloader to exit the bootloader screen i now have a device that has no ROM and probably has no way of knowing how to get into bootloader mode.
Can someone confirm this?
For one, i feel like an idiot for not reading the posting carefully, but having admitted to being stupid,...
... is there anything at all i can do???
Please help...
cancel that, you already said what i was going to ask above
have you try to flash it again with original ROM? sometimes it helps!
Once in bootloader mode, try plugging it into a different USB port, one directly on the PC.
I have had this where one port says not recognised, even after having been plugged in and used for ages, then I go to flash it and it won't work.
Another port has worked for me.
Since you ereased the DOC, all you've got to do now is to reflash the default ROM.
Thanks everyone...
Only problem is, i cannot get it into bootloader mode. And every port i plug it into (so far) says "device not recognised"...
Nevertheless, i did try to reflash the device, but it just gave me the "Error 150" message. It just doesn't know the device is connected i guess?
I think if i hadn't done the Exitbootloader step then i would have been able to reflash it. However, now that i have... i'm a bit stuck... any ideas of other ways to get the device into Bootloader mode?
try
you already know there is a file called EXITBOOTLOADER but did you know that here is a file called ENTERBL ?
try it .....
Thanks dhob187!
Where might i find this file though? Did you mean to attach it?
Just one other question...
How does ENTERBL work if the PC doesn't recognise my device i.e. "USB device not recognised"? Will the application override this and push commands to my pocket pc anyway?
Or is there a way i can get my PC to stop rejecting the device when i plug the USB in?
Thanks in advance,
I believe this is the file u needed
i don't know how this utility works, but just yesterday i stuck in the bootloader after upgrading my uni to AKU 3,5 and solved with ExitBootloader.exe. CMIIW it works the same way, just plug the USB cable then execute the utility (just simple as that).....
but have u tried my earlier suggestion? my friend got the exact problem like you (blank LCD not even bootloader), he was downloaded the original EXEC ROM and try to flash with it (with original upgrade utility also). and the thing start to blink, enter the bootloader and flashing!.....after he manage to wake the device up, then he tried to flash it again with the newest ROM and succeded........
sorry for my english.....
Please don't apologise for your English, thank you for your suggestions!
I didn't quite understand your initial post... but i do now.
Does it have to be the first ROM that it was shipped with or just an original i-mate JasJar ROM?
I can't try it now, but i'm excited to go home and give it a go later tonight... what's more i'm excited at the prospect that there may be some hope for my currently rather expensive paperweight!!!
If the aforementioned doesn't work, i'll try using your attachment.
Cheers again!
it doesn't have to be the first rom that shipped with your imate, just an original one. try your luck then! never give up, keep the faith!!!
sorry, forgot one thing, just ignore the USB error (not recognized) and go for the upgrade (execute the original upgradeUt.exe)
Hi Rudy173.
Thanks for your help, but unfortunately nothing has worked
I have tried running two official JasJar Roms without success... i always get the connection error message (this is surely because the PC always says "device not recognised" when i plug it in).
Also, when i run ENTERBL.exe i just get a failure saying that ...ENTERBL.exe is not a valid WIN32 application... etc...
So unfortunately, i'm still stuck... any further suggestions anyone?
Can the i-mate service centre help me? Is it likely to be expensive?
Back in business )
Wow, not entirely sure what i did... but my Universal is ALIVE!!!
As per the previous post, nothing seemed to be working so i removed Activesync 4.5 beta and reverted to 4.1. I then tried to reflash to an original ROM and the same "connection error" problem happened.
However, next time i tried to enter bootloader, by pressing light, on/off and reset, it went straight into bootloader and i was able to reflash from there
I didn't even need to reflash with an original i-mate ROM. I went straight for Ivan's latest.
This experience has taught me a few things:
1. I have become seriously attached to my Universal!
2. You should never give up hope of retrieval!!
3. This forum is full of very nice helpful people!!!
Thanks everyone.
wow! glad to hear that!
Happy ending....................

Unlock the ext rom turned my device into a dead ppc, help please

I have tried to unlock the ext rom by changing the registry asdescribed in the forum, the result was a white screen tried a hard reset but the result became worser, a dead ppc with a black screen, only when I keep puching on the power button a red green light start flashing. I have tried every possible issue hard, soft reset. Tried to bootload from the sd card without a possible solution, can anybody help me out here, thanks
i guess there is only one option left, flash your device again
I have tried to flash again without succes, the flashing can happen only when there is a usb connection, the driver was not found and the ppc still dead.
bootloader mode!

Hopeless HTC s621

I have my device unlocked already and have done many ROM upgrades before, this time my PC froze half way throught the upgrade. The device turns on and gets stuck on the T-mobile screen. It doesnt connect to active sync i cant even get Dashv2unlock to detect my device. Please help somebody.
from what i've read before about this type of issue (somewhat), try removing the battery and SIM for a few minutes, then replace and reboot and see if active sync recognizes it now.
if this info is no longer valid, I apologize.
I think you need to have your phone in bootloader mode and then flash again. Make sure the phone is off, and while holding down the camera key (to the right of the space key), connect the USB cable to your phone. The tri color bootloader screen should appear on your S620. Now run the upgrade file on your PC again.
Let us know how it goes....
im able to get to the tri color screen but when i start any Rom upgrade it gets to 3 percent and fails. I have also tried the SP-1.11 upgradeonly.exe and also the Dashv2Unlocker that i have paid for. Nothing

[Q] Bootloader nightmare

I have a nordic HTC Touch Pro 2
This unit started acting up after I installed the Energy ROM from the 20th of December. It used to fail in booting occationally(fixed by attaching USB-power), but now it is thouroughly stuck in the bootloader.
This is what I see when I reboot:
RHOD100 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.85.OliNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroLED(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
509,521 792,844
795,200 221,198
226,843 Calibrated
Serial (changes to USB when connected)
There is a quick flash of 2 previous screens, one tri-color and one saying something about no image to load.
I belive, but would be thrilled to be proven wrong, that I have tried all tricks.
Running Windows 7 I first disabled device driver signing and loaded the HTC USB driver. Downloaded mtty 1.42, connected to the phone via USB and ran "boot" command.
The only problem listed was one bad block in CE.
Tried reboot again with same error.
"info 8" revealed that the bad block is 370.
Ran "task 29" but it gave an error trying to delete block 370.
Rebooted and tried to flash latest 29007 Energy ROM. No errors reported during the flash, still when it rebooted after reaching 100% it stopped in bootloader again.
I have also tried this procedure and replaced the Energy ROM with the latest original nordic ROM. When I use "boot" command from mtty I get the HTC screen (white background with htc in green letters) but the phone apparantly is stuck there. A soft restart brings me bach to the bootloader again.
Is my phone bricked? I'm not sure what to do or try next and as I have seen others report my battery is draining and will not charge(no light) when plugged in to computer or charger.
Thanks in advance, I love what you all do for this community and wouldn't have still used tha TP2 if it wasn't for all the great ROMs presented here!
NVM, re-read and see you already tried my suggestion.
Additional info
I ahould add that I also can't do a hard reset. Pressing and holding send and end and then power button only result in getting the bootloader menu. I borrowed a freshly charged battery and tried loading a new ROM, but no change, it still only restarts to the bootloader after completion.
If you can get into bootloader and the usb shows when plugged in, you should be able to flash back to stock via RUU.
Try this;
Open your downloaded ROM with unzipper. You should see two files, the RUU and the RHODIMG.nbh. Copy the .nbh onto the root of your SD card. Powerup the device holding the volume down. It should boot to bootloader and immediatly look for and find the .nhb and install it.
Hope that helps.
Hi!
Thanks for your answers! Sorry about the late reply!
I tested with RHODIMG.nbh file(29007 Energy) on the SD-card. The installation started and ran as expected. When done the screen showed the following info:
"RHODIMG.nbh - OK
OS - OK
Update Complete
UPDATE SUCCESS"
There were no button to press on the screen, and pressing the power-button didn't do anything. I eventually removed the battery, reinstalled the battery and pressed the power button. Unfortunately for me I was once again presented with the bootloader screen.
Any ideas to a new approach? I really don't want to write off the phone as bricked, it should have about a year left in it before I consider replacing it.
Try this:
When powered off, attach headset to the phone. Then press power button.
My Touch Pro2 ran into the same situation recently, showing nothing but a 3-color screen with the same information as you listed. I haven't tried mtty but I found if I plug in the headset, it boots normally. No idea why...
It sounds like an error in the instruction set for the bootloader. Maybe cmonex can help you with a bootloader-friendly version of Hard SPL to re-flash.

he already has Hard-SPL so he could just reflash it with the Hard-SPL exe in manual mode, but as the version number is the same, the device may skip the updating of the SPL. if the OP wants to try this, I can make one with a different version number. though I seriously doubt that the issue would be fixed that way...
Headset trick
Hi,
Again, thanks to all that try to help me!
I tried the headset trick just now and look and behold, it actually worked! My limited brain can't come up with any plausible explenation but I'm happy anyway
I do remember reading about this trick at some point, but I couldn't locate a headset until today. Thanks lilei105!
Now I will reboot the unit several times to ensure this wasn't just a coincident.
Edit: Booted 4 times, still no problem. Have booted both with and without USB-cable connected to PC.
Yeah my advice would be re-flash it or install/download a different ROM.
i may be way off here, but could it be a problem with the volume down button on the unit? maybe the headset bypasses the standard volume button?

[Q] One x crashed after OTA Update, Dead?

Hello.
I have HTC ONE X for a long time.

i tried to download drivers and re installing them, as well as java.
tried to press power +volume up\down\both.
tried to search for device using adb.
tried to rebbot via fastboot and adb (throught the pc).
all this without any luck.
