Another brick in the wall - HTC Excalibur

Ok, I tried to upgrade from the original WM6 to WM6.1... didn't work (Phone was freezing at the HTC boot up logo)... tried the hard reset many time and still doesn't work. So I recovered with the original Rogers WM6 ROM using the bootloader mode but phone still doesn't boot. Now I only get a black screen.... Please help... not sure if there is anymore hope for my S621.

help ... xda exec won't start after rom flashing

somebody please help ... just flashed my xda exec with the latest rom and now it won't start... When trying to hard reset it and just after pressing "0" in the white screen it won't boot... I plug in the mains charger and the orange light won't show either (so I can't know if it's charging). I'm not quite sure but I suspect that the main battery's red plastic lock-switch was in the "unlock" position during the flashing (but the battery was 100% full just before). Is that relevant ? Could this have drained the backup battery and that's the reason that it won't boot now ?? please help...

... what's the "bootloader mode" ??... (it's not documented in the user guide, is that a sequence after pressing 2-3 buttons together or something like that ?)
Put the Universal in bootloader mode by pressing Power + Light + Reset, which brings up an un-backlit screen with "Serial" at the top, and "v0.XX" at the bottom. (A lot of people get an error message if they are not in bootloader mode. They can install the ROM a second time. If you are in bootloader mode, you won't get an error message.)

What ROM did you guys flash? My suspicion is rising that one of the new AKU3.2 ROMS is the culprate, and that there is something wrong with one of them.

Got the same problem here after using PDAVIET...
No upgrade working
This happens with the uni sometimes regardless of rom. Remove the battery wait 5 minutes enter bootloader and reflash. If it doesnt work reflash again just the CE os rom. It will kick out in one of those. It usually helps to flash to operator stock rom first then back to wm6 or cooked WM5. (You have not hurt the device, the uni is a picky girl but always comes back

universal stuck on boot screen after JASJAR Crossbow....help me please...

I NEED YOUR HELP.... My qtek 9000 will not start, after new rom update with JASJAR Crossbow.... i have flashed back to orijinal rom but it stuck on boot screen.... it shows qtek logo and freeze there... I can put it on bootloader mode and reflash again with every rom but it wil not start after qtek logo on the boot screen...however my uni is stuck at the post screen with all the boot info. It is useless now, please help me...
Have a look at the "Are you having problems upgrading to Crossbow" sticky at the top of the forum, it'll take you through some steps. It's ok, it's kinda common and should be easy to get out of. Go through those steps and if you've still got problems, post back.
Regards

Is my PPC broken?

hey i own a jasjam and about a week ago i updated to WM6.1 ...i cant remember which one...
anyway, it worked and was very fast. I used wm6.1 for a week and loved it! It was perfect. Just a few minutes ago i clicked contacts and it said "Shortcut not found" or something and the phone froze.
I pulled out the battery and put it back in and tried to boot it up. but everytime i turn it on it freezes at the HTC booting screen...how do i fix this?
thanks, Greg
you try clean reset?
also try to reflash ROM again
1) Hard Reset
if that fails
2) Boot into bootloader mode and reflash the rom.

Phone bricked during flash of roms??

Hi all,
I have a huge problem and I hope you guys can help me. I tried to flash the orbit (german) artemis of my brother. First flashed the uspl and everything worked fine. At the end there came this penguin picture and the screen stayed black/blue. Then I flashed the rom (MossisROMV3.0GER Windows Mobile 6.5).
HOWEVER: Right then the battery of the laptop went down and the pc switched off. Unfortunately we couldnt plug it in, since we didnt have the cable with us. Now after pluging in the pc there were some connection error notices. Since I didnt know how to proceed I removed the battery of the artemis. I thought I should repeat everything from the beginning on. However the phone always got stuck at the blue o2 screen showing the data:
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0000
GSM 02.88.90
OS 3.13.0.0
Softreset and harrest doesnt make any difference. The phone always gets stuck here.
Is the phone bricked?? Why then does it start? Please help me out asap, since the phone is needed. What can I do?
Thanks in advance
brm
first you are NOT CID unlocked (SPL 3.04.0000)
so you can only flash german orbit ROM on the phone to revive it
1. get to bootloader (press and hold the record button and reset the phone using stylus)
you will get the tri colour screen
2. connect the phone via USB to PC (no need to look for activesync/WMDC connection in this case)
3. and run the RUU (official O2 german ROM for O2 Xda Orbit)
BTW i have official o2 UK ROM in my 4shared account
look for the link in my signature
you may try your luck on that
Hi,
thanks for the fast respond. I read the just before some where else and right now I am searching for the original german rom. However cant find it anywere.
Do you think the english one will work too?
best,
brm

Hi again,
after installing a wm 6.5 ger rom i must say i dont like it at all. can you recommend me another one? i think one with htc touchflo would be great, but which one is it?
If i want to flash a new rom, do i first have to flash the original rom before proceeding?

HTC Diamond bricked?

i have flashed my diamond with the official htc rom
im on 1.40 olinex, now i can only access boot mode.
sometimes if i leave the phone without a battery for like 2 hours, when i turn it on i see the "touch diamond" logo, if i leave the battery for a whole day i see the windows mobile loading screen, but then suddenly the phone turns off
plz if you have any idea about this problem help me
If you can acces bootloader, then your diamond isn't bricked.
Try the unsigned version of olinex' hard-SPL and flash the ROM again.
Good luck!
hey ElCondor, im on 1.40 olinex, i cant flash it because it is protected
how can i flash the unsigned 1.40 olinex one?
Here is a link to the unsigned hard-spl.
Make sure you download "Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip".
Follow the instructions:
1) Download, extract to an empty folder.
2) Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, Have Phone Synced with PC (go into bootloader, connect your cable, then the word "serial" in bootloader will change into "USB".
3) follow steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should go to black screen now.
4) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
5) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset, i.e. press volume down button and reset then keep holding the volume down key until you see tricolour screen) and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.
note: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
Installing this will hard-reset your device.
Best Regards,
ElCondor
when i flashed the unsigned 1.40 olinex, the device rebooted
windows mobile is preparing your phone for first use
htc logo
phone went off :S
will try flashing rom again
flashed ROM again, now it wont boot up no htc diamond logo no nothing
i can access boot mode (1.40 olinex unsigned now i guess)
is there no way i can boot the rom? what seems to be my problem?

Hi
If you can access the bootloader then your device is not bricked. Therefore download a rom of your choice then connect to the usb when on the bootloader then use a Diamond custom RUU (normally come with the rom) follow the steps. After rom updated make a hard reset. I hope it will run ok.
Looks your symtons are showing like your rom corrupted.
Good luck
i am flashing this ROM
RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
the newest one i downloaded from htc. com is giving me rom update error
would you recommend a good rom for my phone?
after flashing and reflashing and hard resetting with the ROM showed above
still cant boot in ROM mode, only in boot mode
el condor sabes, anything ???
should i flash with a new rom, and if yes with which?
(diam100 olinex 1.40 unsigned)
Perhaps try a custom rom?
I found when flashing to an official rom from a different provider (my phones telstra and was flashing 3) I had issues with the rom booting and had to follow a post on here somewhere to get it working, however When I had this problem I could still flash any custom rom with no issues.
Unless its for warrenty purposes then its probably not worth flashing the "original" perhaps flash A.Z.T.O.R. = Alpha Zero Tweaked Official Roms which are close to the original but with benifits of being modded for faster speed etc.
Anyways Im no pro but I know what you are going through and I am trying to find the link to the fix to your problem as I also had the problem. But recommend trying a custom rom to confirm the problem is the same as mine.
For the record now I do not use official roms anymore, with WM6.5 running well for the most part on the diamond its a great step backwards when you revisited 6.1
flashed to SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7.5-Full-16MbPP
still same problem can only go to boot mode
i am feeling there is no solution to my problem ?
is the phone bricked? :S
If you haven't done yet, flash the hard-spl I posted. Just do it, re-instal the hard-spl! Then, flash another ROM, maybe (as said before) your rom is corrupted.
The problem here is, that you first installed the unsigned hard-spl, and then flashed a corrupt rom. In that way, the hard-spl can be damaged too, so flash the hard-spl again and flash another rom should work.
Good luck!
I did :S but to no avail, I will do it again fingers crossed :S !
update: weird, everytime after i flash the hardspl unsigned, it boots up, i can see the "touch diamond" logo
windows mobile booted.. preparing your device..
update 2: windows mobile booted, installing everything
omgomg it looks it might work this time, fingers still crossed !!
el condor !! haha fingers crossed
update 3 :S : windows mobile installed properly, phone rebooted, went again and opened it, then i heard a sound from the speaker and the phone turned off :S
it must work what could the problem be now? last step !
Okay try a hard-reset, maybe that works.
If not, then flash hard-spl again, then hard-reset, then flash another ROM. Then hard reset. Then try again if it boots.
Is your battery enough charged? That could also be a reason.
did not work, wont even boot up
when i said if i leave battery out and such, I thought it might be hardware/heat related
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/2069847/HTC+Diamond+-+Severe+Crashing+Problem,+maybe+heat+related
could this be it? will i have to send my phone for repairs?
because maybe when WinMo was loaded, the phone started to heat up and it shut down
so basically my solution is not a software fix??
If none of the tips worked, and you have the same problems as described in the site you linked, then you probably have to send it back.
One thing you could do: Try if the other hard-spls (1.37 and 1.93 unsigned) are working for you.
I'm sorry for you, maybe someone more skilled than me (like cmonex or olipro) knows how to solve your problem.
it's alright :S i thank you for all the help you have offered !
( it is customizing right now) but i expect it to reboot anytime now
worked, 5 minutes into winmo it restarts
