NEED IMMEDIATE HELP.. STUCK IN BL Screen

so i'm sure this has happened to someone..
i'm just hoping that i haven't bricked my F*ing phone, but i've scoured the forums but can't find any help.
I was trying to flash a new rom on, but for some reason it stopped in the middle, and now all i get is the rainbow screen... i can't flash anything else on there and have resorted to just taking the battery out for now in case i need to reflash later on
can anyone PLEASE point me in the right direction? I know all you chef's are busy, but hopefully can aide me w/ this as i keep looking
thanks in advance

You really need to check out this first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755

Or this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
...and hopefully you have Hard-SPL installed.

yeah i checked and tried, but thanks.. i'm just gonna delete this thread and pray cingular will send me another one

not sure how, found an old method to unbrick it and it did.. now i'm not too sure what version spl or anything i have though... thanks for trying to help w/ the links guys

nnngggggnnnggggggg - trying hard...not...to let head.....explode!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway.....
Come on fella - it's people like you that are giving this site and others like it, a bad name! It takes about 6 seconds to go from not knowing anything about your SPL to knowing what it is and why you should have olipro loaded to stop you bricking your phone.
Please, for the love of god, I beg you to read the wiki and just a couple of things before you randomly try any more radio or OS ROM updates.
Hold the OK (left hand side) and power button whilst pressing the reset button on the bottom.
If it says anything other then 1.40.olipro - read the wiki before you turn your phone into a small, plastic brick. No...not fun-like-Lego.
DO IT NOW!!

Have you done it yet?

Well?
Have you done it now?

help needed / auto restarting

hello!
Can anyone help me with this:
after 5 or 10 minutes, or even at the splash screen, my device automatically restarts and does it for several times.
When i try to put it into bootloader mode i see usb,..... but only for a minute. after that it goes out of bootloader mode and starts the OS again...
So i'm a bit worried that when i flash it, the bootloader mode will go out and the device will try to restart.
Any known sollutions to this problem? Any help would be appreciated!!
ps: no answers in the wiki nor in the forum.
thanks in advance to your replies!!!!!

I think your battery is given up or you have bad connection so that you dont get enough power.
Try first to clean the battery and device connections(best to use contact spray for PCB boards) if doesnt help then you need to have new battery

Thanks for your reply.
I just got it back 2 weeks ago and they installed a new board in it... i made them send it back and fix it (i blamed them)
they also putted french rom and AZERTY keyboard in it so they can fix that to (i had englis OS and Qwerty).
Thx for your post, i appreciate it!

Restarting Problem - PLEASE HELP!!!
Hi
I have an Orange SPV m5000 that I rely on for to carry my contact address book and send text messages (I know other phones would do it but I really like my Uni).
Recently mine has decided that it's going restart itself every few seconds. I have no idea why it's doing this, but the shop I bought it from are not helping me at all.
I've hard reset the device and that hasn't worked so if anyone has any ideas then please let me know, or if you know of anywhere I can send it to be repaired (I'm in the UK).
Thanks in advance

Diamond dead during hard spl update

HI all! It will be more then great if anybody can help me.
The story is simple one guy decide to unlock his Diamond throw some free way ( I don't know how exectly ) he end with error 260 and DEAD Diamond.
The device does not get into bootloader when pressing Vol_- + reset.
Now this Diamond in my hands.
Can anyone please advice what can I do? can I flash ROM?
P.S. this phone are new and Orange UK branded.
Please help and sorry for my poor English.

something? PLEASE!

You mention you can not get into boot loader by pressing
Vol_- + reset.

On the Diamond you can access bootloader by jsut reseting and holding down the "Vol Down" Key only...
Try this and report back.

Where is this error 260 indicated ? If the ROM starts up and shows some error, the bootloader will work for sure.
Cya,

try to make an hard reset by press vol down + central button + reset.
maybe you have to use mtty but I can't help you cause I never use it...

That what I told volume down + reset not working with this phone. It is in another one which I have here.
The phone doesn't show any signs of life, I think I need test point or maybe JTAG way to repair it......
Any suggestions?

I don't know I got this phone it this condition with a story about this error.
I don't actually know what happened, but I believe that this phone bricked down in the middle of unlocking process.

Have you tried another battery?

2. with a fully charged battery, reset your device (hard reset) press Volume down + centre round button + soft reset(behind battery cover) all at the same time, release soft reset but keep holding volume down + centre button. You should now have a white screen advising you what to do to complete the hard reset.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Only to make a bit easy this step cause in this way one would be an octopus , soft reset your device with stylus and then, within 3 seconds, hold Vol down + centre round button until you see the tricolour screen. Release the buttons and follow the instructions (Press Vol Up to restore to manufactured settings).

This is the typical case when someone didnt do his homework. Im sure you didnt read the stickies. Poeple be warned, flashing your device can kill it if you dont have a clue on what you are doing. Ive seen a bunch of n00bs bricking their devices just because the didnt read the forum. This question has been ansewred a lot.

sorry friend to hear but i have one solution may be it can work u just flash hard spl v 1.93 olinex from here:http://ficca.bounceme.net/download/HARDSpl_Diamond_OliNex_1.93_Unsigned.zip just flash this hspl and after flashing this u can flash any rom but now u just flash this hspl if u got 100% then ur prob is solve so pls tell me what happen after that hope every thing will be alright good luck

Error 260 is a USB communication error. Did this happen during sim unlock or during hardspl install because the thread title says one thing and your post says another.

HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 DEAD Please Help

Dear all,
I got brand new HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 that is not locked.
The phone is DEAD and does not boot.
I tried vol+ and pressing power on.
The phone green led goes on.. and stays like that forever.
How is the recovery procedure?
I have done recovery procedure on my old HTC P3300 several times, but with this one, no success. Any help? Thanks in advance. (also I need original rom with english language if it is possible, please post a link.) Thanks again.

You ****ed it up. YOu tried a hardspl from a different device... BAD IDEA!! Sorry but you're screwed return your Touch Pro 2 to where you bought it from and see if you can get a new one but otherwise you're screwed

digitalmk said:
Dear all,
I got brand new HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 that is not locked.
I tried several times to change the firmware from German to WWE, because I do not understand German, but without success.
Then I applied raphael_cdma_vzw_hspl_035.rar because it does not accepted any other wwe firmware that I wanted to put on.
After that, the phone is DEAD and does not boot.
I tried vol+ vol- and reset the same time, and pressing power on.
The phone green led will bo on.. and stays like that forever.

you should have PM'd me for language change services.
now, your bootloader is probably dead if voldown+reset didn't work...
maybe the radio bootloader is still alive, but it would be quite difficult to unbrick it (requiring hardware tools) even if so.

You should consult the experts here before you try anything first, that is why we are here.
Dude! this a very expensive phone... handle with caution.
Now your phone.....RIP!.

Dear Cmonex, one question, as I have found, vol up + vol down + reset btn and then press power. Is this the way for entering the emergency mode, or it is something else (like you wrote... vol down + reset ) ???? maybee I do not enter the recovery mode correctly ???
Thanks for quick reply Cmonex , but thanks all also!!!

As Cmonex wrote,
Hold Vol Down (keep it pressed) and press the reset with the stylus.
This should take you to the tri-colour bootloader screen.
If it doesn't you have bricked your expensive device, the only way to recover is to get a new bootloader loaded via JTag, good luck getting someone to do that for you.
As is always stated here time and time again, read the information carefuly and if you don't understand ask.
Since you flashed a Raphael bootloader or rom or both ???? I'd say it's well and truly an expensive paper weight sir............ on the bright side though, you've learn't an extremely valuable lesson.
READ BEFORE YOU ACT.

Dear Beasty,
Thanks for the complete info.
I will try tomorrow morning first thing to enter vol down + reset, and try to upload new firmware. If it does fail, please give me info for Jtag pinouts. I have done until now flashing with jtag interface to satelite receivers, to linksys rooters but never to phones. However, I think that it will be similar because Jtag is Jtag . Please give me info about the Jtag if you have just for me to be prepared for tomorrow fight . Thanks. Regards.

What I want to know is why did the TP2 stock SPL allow digitalmk to flash an unsigned SPL (ie HardSPL)?
Are the SoftSPL hooks that close between the 2 phones?

I dont think any one here knows where the jtag pins are on this phone. You could always strip the phone down and be the first to know where the jtag pins/pads are...

probably just running SSPL bricked it.
(my newer SSPLs have a device model check but the cdma raphael package which he ran didn't have it)

I did something similar with my HTC Tornado a few years ago,
It was a lost cause, and I feel you are going to find the same.
its an expensive lesson to learn
Obviously, technically speaking you have voided your warranty... so you have a few options left:
Send device back to htc and play dumb *** not recomended could be classed as fraud?***
Find the Jtag pin outs and a method of flashing
purchase a new system board from ebay
break down the device and sell the parts on ebay
Cheers
Steve

JTAG not easy probably
I was looking a while back for the Titan JTAG points because I also have used it a lot on other devices and someone sent me one he had killed. What I found by looking around surprised me that there appear to be no JTAG at least not in the Titan that are lined up. Someone on another model did it long ago but looking at taking the processor off the board to get to some pads below to do it, made me give it up.

with vol up + reset + power on, it starts green led
My phone is dead, I tried to hold vol down and press reset, but nothing..
BUT WHEN HOLDING VOL UP + CLICKING ON POWER ON, IT Lights green led (left from speaker) and keeps lighting.
When press reset + anything (vol down + reset ) or anything led goes off and does not start. This tells that it is not completely dead .. but.. where from here ??
Any help from here??
Regards to all

It is pretty much dead unless you can find the JTAG pin outs. No other options aside from getting a new one.

I suggest you return your TP2 and "play dumb"..

Wap in in the microwave for half a second. Frys everything. Play dumb.

maybe radio bootloader still works but you'd need to build a serial cable to access it and even then it's not an easy ticket to unbricking

hit it with 12+ volts at the battery terminals, should fry everything and it won't look like you stuck it in the microwave. Say "I think there was something wrong with my charger".......

Are you Dutch, digitalmk? I ask because two different Dutch posters bricked their gsm Raphaels this week flashing that same verizon hard spl. It seems weird as hell that so many people are doing that all of a sudden. Where did you get the idea to flash it?

Hi,
My phone became dead too. It worked normaly, but while i was talking he simply turn off. I thought that is empty battery, but he was on charger for few hours. Red light is on ( when charging), when i try to turn it on he vibrate and get to HTC Touch Pro 2 logo with red numbers in right corner and then go again off.
Does anyone know what maybe be a problem?

[Q] Rookie Mistake

Hi I have and IMATE PDA2k EVDO and I tried a d-two rom and I now have the device sitting on the 4 color screen every time I reset it. Any idea how I reset it back to defaults so I can load another image onto it, I have the original image. any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Actually I just fixed it.
Anyone know of any WM5,6 or 6.5 roms that work on this phone. The EVDO network is dead here in Australia so I just want to convert it into a PDA.

For the love of God... if you are going to make a thread saying "Hey guys, I broke this, how do I fix it?" Do not EVER update with "I fixed it!" without telling us HOW you fixed it.

I thought it was such simple fix it did not requiere explaination. To enter the bootloader you do the following
Press Power + record (above the volume slider) + softreset at the same time.
This puts it into the load mode so you can reflash.

try to flashing rom again

You sir are an idiot.
A Blue Angel rom will not work for a Harrier.
So delete your comment because some other idiot will follow your bad instructions then **** up their phone and make another idiotic post.

Yea so did anyone figure out this whole problem with the white boot loader screen? I'm no where near a programmer or anything but I think my boot loader version is out dated. My HARRIER, not blue angel, is stuck at a white screen that reads Serial(USB when connected to usb of course) and v1.02. I've had a Harrier before this and it had the four color screen for boot loader. Am I on to something here?
Oh btw I already tried to reflash the rom over and over but updater keeps saying it can't connect.

As Hima and Alpine Fora are closed, i will try to help as well as possible,

As i know from Siemens/BenQ Phones, it has gone silent around here, but from time to time some collectors appear which shouildn't be left alone.
