troubles flashing... help, please - HTC Excalibur

First time I tried flashing I got a error 270. And that was after running the SDA app unlock. So then I tried using the USPL error 270 fix. The problem I'm having Is right when it says "the screen should turn almost black". The screen turns white. At that point active sync doesn't recongnize the phone anymore, and the phone is stuck unresponsive, with a white screen.
So heres a few questions to make sure I'm doing this right.
When I run the sda unlock. Should the phone respond in any way? When I press the ok button I get a instant verification that the phone is unlocked. The phones screen doesn't light up or anything of the sorts. It almost seems like nothing happened.
When you say reboot (yeah this is a dumb question!) I'm just turning the phone off, and then turning it back on again. Is the correct way to do it?
It is a brand new excalibur I'm working with. The one with the all black face. I just figured I should throw that in there in case there was any little difference that would be causing me problems.
I can't wait to get this phone flashed! Looking at all the tweaks and tricks and not being able to try them out is killing me!

Yes rebooting is when your phone turns off and back on. Soft reset is when you power the phone off and power it back on.
Did you follow these instructions to T?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225

ran both, failed at 0% this time. Left the phone stuck with the tri colored screen. But, in that thread, it says I may have to try it a few times. I'll give it another shot and see what happens.
really wish rebooting the phone was quicker!
tried again. phone locked up and didn't want to connect with active sync.
overall I've tried several times. Is it normal to have this many problems? I'm starting to get frustrated!
Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate all the info and help I'm getting with this. The frustration is just not being able to make it work.

No it normally doesn't give you that many problems, except if you made a mistake flashing. I flashed three times within my first week before I found the rom I liked, and never had a single problem. See what I did was print all the instructions on flashing and had them on my lap while I was flashing and double checking every step before going to the next. Is very important that you follow the steps to a T so nothing like this happens. If you can get the bootloader screen , I would suggest to reinstall the official 6.0 rom, get the phone back to factory, and then try again to flash to 6.1.
Do you know the bootloader procedure?

I'm following these instructions... to a T.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225
I'm not sure if you would call that a bootloader procedure? Is there something else I need to know how to do?
I've had it completely lock up during the flashing process, and have had to pull the battery to get the phone to work again. The phone works just like normal after I've had to do that. Are you saying that I need to re flash the stock rom before I can flash it to a different one?

The phone is working normally now? so nothing happened? are you still on the 6.0 and everything is operational? If you are then you don't need the bootloader.

yeah the phone works fine. No glitches.
Got frustrated with it yesterday so I just left it. Going to try again today.
Does it make any differance that it's the new black faced excalibur? I read that not much changed except the color.

WOO-HOO!
I got it! Did the same things I did before, for some reason this time it worked.
Have only had a few minutes playing with it but so far I love it! I was dissapointed with the lack of configuration in the "stock" OS. I've already got everything moved around just where I want it.
Thank you soo much for the help! You guys are great!

HELP Please

I tried to upgrade the ROM n my trinity without putting the device in the SPL. The device went dead completely and I could not start it on. I tried to soft reset, hard reset, and tried to get the SPL but nothing is working. When I tried to upgrade it gives message 260 “no connection”. Could anybody tell me how to revive my trinity or get it working again?
Been there a few times myself.
Do you live in the US? If so, I could call you and walk you through it, or MSN chat, or??? or if you'd rather, let me know and I will try to walk you through it in here.
I am in Europe, time difference is large, appreciate if you give step by step instructions in this forum. Thanks again.

I apologize jma81113. I was unexpectedly called out of town. My nephew crashed his motorcycle and is in the hospital, so I rushed over there. I'm back now.
Any time I cannot flash another rom, I am forced to flash back to an OEM rom, in my case, I use the one found here: http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe
This flashes back the original SPL, Radio, OS, etc... It works best if you can do it from a Windows XP computer. If you don't have that option, there are ways to do it using Vista outlined here.
Then I always flash the Hard SPL found here. In my case, I use Des' Crash Proof. I've had the most success flashing Cooked ROMS with this one.
From there, Flashing Cooked ROMS should work just fine. If you run into trouble, you might have to flash back to the OEM ROM again. Occasionally, I have to. I keep a copy on hand at all times.
Oops! Actually, as I read back through your message, I see that you might be getting just a BLACK screen? Is this correct? And I assume by you saying you tried to get the SPL that you mean you pushed the 'power' 'camera' and 'reset' buttons and nothing? If that's the case, let me know and I'll do some more research.
Just so I know, do you get the orange LED lighting up when you plug in the USB cable showing it's charging?
SuperSport
I am sorry to hear about your nephew accident, I hope he is well and wish him well.
Yes I got a BLACK screen when I press the 'power' 'camera' and 'reset' buttons. The device is completely dead.
When i connect the device to the laptop, red LED lights up for 10 seconds and then disappears, I even changed the battery but no sucess.
Hard Reset?
Oops! Sorry, just re-read your first post. Looks like you tried this already...
The Black Screen is new to me, so I'm shooting in the dark.
You many have already done this, but, have you tried a HARD reset? Press the 'Calendar' 'Contacts' and then 'Reset' buttons all together. Hopefully this will bring up a screen that asks if you want to do a reset. Press the Green Send key and it will reset. Let me know if that works or not...
Buttons shown in attached image:
I have done it already no luck, it seems I am going to send it to the dealer in Malaysia. Thanks any way Supersport for your time and effort. Once again hope your nephew is will.

Well I just woke up and I tried switching my phone and what would you know it worked but it kept switching itself off as soon as Touch Diamond was shown. So I entered bootloader and I flashed the EnergyRom and the phone restarted itself and on the starts screen my Radio was mentioned as "1.20 Olinex" and my prtocol was 52.55a something. And also there was a "G" in the bottom left corner after which it went to customization where it switched itself off again and now I can't switch it on again what do I do. :S

If you can, next time when it starts to work again, Try flashing the Radio to a proper one, then flash your hardspl again, then install a new rom.
Hey thanks a lot everyone I had to flash a stock ROM and everything started working perfectly again but I still wonder what had gone wrong. hmm. thanks a lot anyways guys.

issues with bootloader

Hey i hope all is good.
I really need your help. I have a TILT 2 cell phone and by mistake a friend activated the bootloader. Previously the ROM has been updated. the phone got stuck in that screen and the only way to turn it off is removing the battery. so, i try to reboot the phone and it only loads the bootloader with a flash message saying "no image file". ok, i though, the ROM was damaged and after reading a lot in the forums, i followed the instruction to put a new ROM. I connected the phone the the computer and the message in the phone changed to USB and my PC installed the HTC USB Sync driver (but Active Sync does not detect the phone); anyways, i ran the task 29 and a new rom. I was able to see the progress bar in both (PC and Phone) but then the phone reboots and loads again the bootloader. I tried to use the HARD SPL 1.00 as well but it does the same thing after finishing the flash it loads again the bootloader.
can some help me pls?? i'm new in this and the phone is a work tool for me i really need your help.

You should do the HSPL before flashing a ROM (unless it was already done).
I would try to flash the newest HSPL, then a ROM.
Hi, and thank you for you reply.
I already did it and apparently it flashed the HSPL . Now in the bootloader says SPL 0.85 OliMex; then i flashed the ROM and it showed me the progress bar in both system (PC and phone) but when it finish it booted back to the bootloader. I just noticed that sometimes (after been off for a while) if i turn it on it boots to the rom but it happens randomly and if I turn it back off i just got the bootloader again.
I really need your help pls

Hrm, have you tried doing a task29? Re-flash the ROM after task29.
yes already tried the task 29 and then flash the rom but the same issue...i've been reading a lot of post regarding issue with the bootloader and follow the instruction but nothing seems to work. I even tried the update from the AT&T site but the same issue...i have no idea what else to do

So you've flashed the stock ROM? Have you tried relocking? Probably won't do much, but worth a shot I guess.
When you flash back to stock you flash the stock ROM, then relock, then reflash stock.
Yes, but the issue persisted.
I have noticed something. If i leave the cell phone turn off for a while (hours) and then i turn it on. Most of the time it works and all the things are fin; but as soon as i turn it off and turn it back on the bootloader starts appearing.
So, now i can use the cell but i cannot turn it off or leave the battery died on me...any suggestions?
BTW, thank you very much for your help

My phone is never turned off. I'm not sure what else to suggest, you've tried seemingly every step that could remedy this problem. Radio firmware probably won't help, but it shouldn't hurt either - you could try a new radio...
hi , this happened to me, solved it by reloading the rom again via sd, once it finish maybe you will see the bootloader screen again, so with stylus pres the reset buttom a few times until the rom boot , this can take several times to make it boot. after revive your cell , do a task29 then reload the rom again then do a hard reset, this happened to my 2 times, and its still alive ,good luck.
Same Problem
Hi,
I'm having the same problem. Installed the latest official ROM from HTC/ATT (gorgeous), and same problem after install. Whenever you try to reboot, it gets stuck in the bootloader screen. The last 50 tries it will not reboot at all, even after removing the battery and hitting the power button. This used to work occasionally.
Any other process anyone knows for getting the device to read the ROM?
Is the phone just worn out?
I suggest you reflash the shipped rom to your device and after the flash finishes and your device begins to boot immediately remove the battery to turn it off before it boots. Then replace the battery and press and hold the Send and End keys and while holding them down press the Power button and follow the instructions to factory reset(hard reset).

[Q] Stuck at white HTC Screen

I figured this was a long shot, but one of my RHOD's is stuck on the white HTC screen (the first one that pops up after booting).
Now I can get to the tri-color boot screen. I have been able to flash via USB and SD, however no matter what I flash it fails.
The device does have hSPL applied. I have tried flashing EnergyROM, just radio's, stock ROM's (which includes radio, ROM, etc... all of it!), task29... nothing seems to actually fix it. Every time it just goes back to hanging on that white HTC logo.
So any ideas? Anything I haven't tried? I am hoping it's not bricked since it does turn on, and I can flash... Thanks!!
Does it give any errors when it fails to flash? Have you tried another SD card? Have you formatted your SD card with the HP tool? Have you tried sacrificing a demon goat? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQbxmXilRew
Your nand memory might be toast if even task 29 fails. All it does is wipe the nand memory.
This is a real longshot, but it looks like you have tried everything else. Can you re-flash HardSPL? Or maybe try to downgrade hSPL and then upgrade again?
I really want to help (even if giving arrrghhh advice seems so backwards!) but can't think of much else you haven't tried.
You have CDMA right? so no SIM... On my GSM I would try to boot with SIM inserted to see if it makes any difference...
Sorry, if I have any major brain waves I'll be back.
Oh! Can you flash a NAND Android ROM? I read about some people with HD2's that could flash android/WP7 but everytime they flashed WM it would freeze at the white screen.

This was a tester phone, wasn't even used that much... But I guess the guy before me could've burned it out.
Also, I see I wasn't so clear in my OP. No errors, everything flashes fine. task29 flashes fine. ROM's flash fine. Radio's as well... everything seems great until you try to boot the damned thing.
Not sure what vid that is, I'll check it out later. Thanks.

Well thanks for at least tryin . I haven't tried messing with hSPL, but I guess since that's now semi-open I can try without much risk of not being able to go back (used to be a big issue...)
I do have CDMA, but these are 'world-phones'. So they have SIM slots... that's a good point, maybe I should try without the SIM - as my 'main' TP2 doesn't have a SIM and has never had such problems. This one came with the Sprint SIM which I've never used either, but for whatever reason I've kept it around .
I'm pretty sure I tried putting LK on the phone, and the same result. It's been a while since I've tried to flash anything on it tho, so perhaps I'll try that again.
Thanks for the advice, I'll get back to you .
Does it just sit at the loading screen or will it not go beyond the tricolor screen?
It's a long shot, but I have a flash that does nothing but change the white htc screen to something else. It is small. Might be worth a try to see if that works.
I have heard of the sim chips causing issues, but have never experienced them myself. No harm in pulling it out of there.

Yea, when I task29'd I think it changed this screen to say Touch Pro2 at one point... Stock ROM flash changed it back to the white HTC logo.
I can always make it past the tri-color screen - however, I never get past the 'initial' boot screen. I'll try just flashing that just for grins tonight.
What I posted will not put any OS on there. It will let you see if you are writing to the nand at all though. So if you see a new boot flash screen, you are getting somewhere.
... another longshot. After you flash a rom etc. and it fails to boot perform a hardware hard-reset. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK, END and POWER then release and press VOL UP when you see the message.
I don't know, this probably won't help since I can't see anything surviving Task29... but I'm grasping at straws at this point...
OK, sorry that took so long... I've been slackin
Flashed the new boot logo, looks cool... but still frozen. Then I flashed EnergyROM, no dice. Did a hard reset (thanks Caldair forgot about that key sequence)... still no dice.
I guess I'll try relocking, can't hurt at this point.
Edit - wow, relocking seems to have done the trick. It downgraded the bootloader, and then the stock ROM updated it. I am now getting the red text at the bottom of the first boot screen... It seems to be proceeding to WinMo! Unbricked!!

[PROBLEM] Not Bootloop - Please help [Intesting post]

Good evening everyone,
I come to you guys with a very particular problem. The LG G4 in question is an H815T (Asian variant). Let me clarify right now, it was not bootlooping. This one was getting STUCK at the LG logo, it didn't restart to it multiple times, it just got stuck there one day after turning off by itself. It did go into the download mode, though.
It went into the first part of the recovery, but when you selected that you wanted to factory reset, it got stuck there. The only way to get it out of the logo or the stuck recovery was taking the battery out. Interestingly enough, the phone DID charge at the stuck logo, albeit not so much due to the screen being constantly on at full brightness.
An even more interesting fact... I managed to fix it! I flashed the KDZ corresponding to the latest LP for the H815T, after the process was done, it did bootloop. I found the YouTube video about flashing a certain file to deactivate most of the cores and said "what the hell have I got to lose?"
Flashed the KDZ and.... VOILA! It showed the Recovery Android doing its job at Format Resetting !
Something even crazier... The phone booted into AndroidLP, I was worried about the cores thing, but the phone seemed to work at full speed... I was surprised to run HWmonitor and notice that all of the cores were active. The phone was fully working!!! Or so I thought... Now I have TWO problems:
I cannot update to MM. If I try to update from the phone itself (because it does say there's a new version available) I go back to being stuck at the LG logo.
When I make a call the screen goes off... nothing I do will turn it on, and if the other person does not hang up, the phone will remain locked. However, if I plug in a headset everything works normally.
Is there anything I can do about these two problems? Please, leave your comments and questions, I think this phone is pretty weird and I found nothing else like it on YouTube or here on XDA.
Take care :good:!
Idk for the call but for the mm you could try using something like lg mobile update tool... Something like that.
Be warned cuz i dont know if it will bootloop.

When I make a call the screen goes off... nothing I do will turn it on, and if the other person does not hang up, the phone will remain locked. However, if I plug in a headset everything works normally.
Is there anything I can do about these two problems? Please, leave your comments and questions, I think this phone is pretty weird and I found nothing else like it on YouTube or here on XDA.
Take care :good:!

Got it! The sensors thing was definitely it for the screen problem. I also read this is very common with many screen protectors in 5.1.
Do you have any ideas regarding the issue updating to MM?

All good, Willy! Even is you're stuck at the LG logo, take your battery out, or it back in BUT DON'T TURN IT ON... Instead, try to access DOWNLOAD MODE. If you're able to do it, you can flash any KDZ you want, but be careful.

Yes ur right using a heavy screen protector will block all the sensors so ya try removing it... No issues in MM u can try OTA through wifi
