HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 DEAD Please Help - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

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

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

Sorry I don't know the jtag pinouts and I don't believe anyone else has mapped them out as yet.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Phone is freezing while starting

Hello,
I've just installed HardSPL succesfully, after that I wanted to install MightyRom 4.6, so I did. That went succesfully too according to my computer. Now when i want to switch the phone on, it keeps hanging with the T-Mobile picture on it. I've done a hard reset for several times and also a few soft resets. I also took my battery out for a few minutes, but when I switch it on, the same thing happens.
Please help me out of this !
Ps. sorry for my bad english !
for taking a little stress from your brain take an other rom - orig. rom from your provider.....
(go bootloder from pda; if your orig. rom only one *.exe-file you have to extract (winzip/winrar) it before flashing; connect usb (bootloader screen change from serial to usb); than flash)
but before you do this, how long you have to wait and look to your screen?
it can be sometimes a very long time until a windows-screen is coming.
if your pda gets hot than dont wait and flash asap new rom.
after 5 minutes waiting without any changes you have to flash an other rom.
I think I may have the same problem with my Diamond. I also installed MightyRom 4.6. Now, when I power up my phone, I get through the RGB stage to a white backdrop with instructions in blue to push volume button up for a reboot to manufacturers settings or push volume button down to reboot to manufacturers settings and wipe the movinand....after I select either one, when it gets to the HTC logo (HTC Diamond in white on a black background), it freezes. My pc won't recognise my phone when I plug it in...
Do I now have a really gorgeous paperweight or can I hold my Diamond to my ear again? Insight into my problem would be much appreciated.
By the way, XDA Dev rocks. Thanks to all who made this site possible.
Brick or no brick ?
Oh, I forgot to mention that my phone was a non-branded HTC running a Duttys rom. I did not want to get a DOPOD Diamond from China Mobile as they cost more and I dunno if they put Big Brother software in there.

Brickety brick, brick, brick...
My phone does not recognize my pc and vice versa. I tried plugging the phone in before booting it up. I tried while booting up. I tried at the white screen stage...nothing...help...
It also doesn't stay at the RGB screen for long...maybe 2 seconds...
Please break it to me gently if I have killed my HTC...I don't want to start drinking again...
...
My phone is a GSM Diamond. MightyRom 4.6 is for CDMA. If I combine the two(like I did) then am I screwed?
Can someone please give me some insight, please? I have been scouring the net for 3 days non stop now and my eyes are going to explode...
What is Jtag and can your average home user use it? Is it hardware or software...?
Cobbs: I assume when you say bootloader you mean something other than the RGB screen,,,cos as I stated in my first post, my phone does not stop on the RGB screen...

Bricked Beyond Repair?

right now my dash, when powered on, will just display a white screen.. when doing a hard-reset...nothing happens, when trying to do to the bootloader thing,the tri-color thing doesnt show but the computer does detect the dash...so i tried an update to stock...and it said that instalation was successful,alltho it was not

Have you tried entering the bootloader and re-flashing with the stock ROM?
If you can't see anything at all on the screen, no splash screens etc, even after soft-reset or entering the bootloader, then it sounds like you have a hardware problem (screen failure).

"PLEASE HELP"
It's a tricky situation. So if you hold down Volume Down (and keep it held down) and press the reset button, then you still don't have anything come up on the screen ?
How about if you try a hard reset, does anything come up then ? You can hear the phone making sounds, so it seems like it's just the screen ?
Putting the charger in doesn't help, does it ?
You could try flashing a stock ROM from SD card and seeing what happens.
You might well have to send it back under warranty with HardSPL still on. In that case, if it was me, then if they tried to say the warranty was void just because of HardSPL I would argue very strongly against that and ask them to prove it - e.g. how can HardSPL stop your screen working ? I don't know what country you're in, but in the UK I think our consumer protection laws would have something to say about that.

I've never flashed via SD, so I could be wrong on this. But I thought it was still possible. I see that the instructions (in the sticky on flashing ROMs) say to put it into the bootloader and "follow the on-screen instructions". I wonder if it's possible to just wait for a while and then press the appropriate key ? Though I don't know what the "appropriate key" is.
Perhaps someone who has flashed via SD can comment further, e.g. as to whether it's possible to do this without seeing the screen ?

I know it's frustrating, I'd be kinda worried if I had an apparently-non-working screen too. But please be patient, and wait for more people to see your posting. The folks in the US will be coming online around this sort of time, so there will be more people looking in and hopefully someone can help further.
Flash without seeing the screen
Enter boot loader even if you can not see the screen. You can flash your phone to stock then enter boot loader again and hard spl. I had a similar situation and was able to complete the process and warranty repair with AT&T no problems, or you can pay to have it fixed at an outside shop. I was quoted 150 and refused to spend that muck so I flashed the phone without seeing the screen...
I saw your post over on Sergio's thread but decided to answer you here.
You do have a blown screen, no doubt there. How that happened is not really relevant.
My best advise is to connect your phone to your PC and wait for the activesync connection to come up. Once that happens you know you have a good connection and can flash. Run the RUU (or exe) for your stock ROM, the on screen (PC Screen) prompts will let you know if it can't proceed. Once the stock ROM is back on it, follow the same procedure and put the stock SPL back. Then send it off to get the screen replaced.
Hope that helps

Flashing witout screen
Step 1
Enter boot loader mode (* Remove the back cover from the phone.
* Hold the Volume Down button.
* Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
* Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.)
and attach to computer. (wait 30 to 60 seconds)
Step 2
Check device manager for HTC mobile sync under mobile devices.(Active sync will not work in boot loader mode)
Step 3
Flash using Rhodium CustomRUU on your PC. (use original ROM from At&T.
Step 4 repeat for Radio
Step 5 Use Stock_SPL_Restore_087.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131 repeat the process with it.
This should work it did for me. Let me know if you run into problems.

[Q] Help: My DHD doesn't boot

Hi all.
First of all I'm french so sorry if my English goes wrong.
Good reading.
I'm posting there because my DHD doesn't want to boot anymore: impossible to get something on the screen...
=> No boot, no bootloader, nothing.
The whole story: I bought my Desire 1 year ago, simlocked by my carrier (SFR).
Everything was going good: root, unsimlock and all this kind of stuff.
My Repair Warranty (the one from the store, not from HTC) was ending on February 5th, so I decided to bring my Phone there because the Volume button was unstuck.
Back from the repair center (HTC SFR FRANCE), they changed the whole body of the device but also the battery
Why: I don't know.
But the whole point is that they updated the device to Android 2.3.5 (3.13), which is the last update from my carrier with Sense 3.0... Bye bye Virtuous Quattro!
It was simlocked again and it was impossible to use my phone.
I decided to make all the stuff again to get it work: root, unsimlock, S-OFF...
It was impossible to Downgrade to 1.32.
After creating the GoldCard and put the image on the SD, while trying to "install" it, the bootloader was displaying Incorrect CID and fail...
I tried again 2 times, thinking that I did a wrong manipulation: same result.
At the third fail, I turned off the phone (Press "Power" to power off in the BootLoader). And then impossible to turn it back on.
At the beginning the LED was blinking when it was connected into an USB port or while charging it.
But then nothing. At all.
Sad to say it but my DHD seems to be bricked now...
I tried to get to the bootloader, to make a Soft Reset ( Volume Down + Volume Up + Power ), to take out the battery for a long time, to charge it up with differents adaptators/cables (but not with an other battery).
I think that this is a battery problem. Shoul I order an other one to test?
What do you think?
Thanks,
Arnaud.
PS: I noticed something weird in the battery "case". Like if the bottom of the hole wasn't replaced. We can see the internal wires an components inside the device...
Is it normal? Is it the same on your phone?
First of all, stop pushing all the buttons as it will most likely do nothing. To enter hboot is Vol down + Power and nothing else before, in between, or after.
Check this thread out CAREFULLY and follow the steps. This is a no fail tool, and unless you do something wrong in the process, the result will by default be success.

i would try another battery.. they arent that expensive
and no its not normal to see wires and stuff so you should assemble it correct..
this video might give you an idea on how to..

then you only have to set s and r off
Thanks for the answers.
I ordered a battery. I will let you know!
I will try the AAHK tommorow!
Thanks a lot,
Arnaud.
But I don't think you really understood my problem.
I can't boot! So how do you want me to use AAHK?
EDIT: by the way I managed to get the LED blinking 4 or 5 times while connecting the phone to my pc. But that's all.
