Unable to boot up after upgrade ROM to WM6

I follow instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313486 but after hardreset.
My p800w is stuck in T-Mobile logo and version number. It can't continue booting up to windows mobile.
Question: How to flash ROM without ActiveSync?
How to recovery my Artemis?
Welcome any advice,
Thanks in advance.

Yea me to, mine is now a brick after that upgrade? No active sync connection possible and all I get now is the blue O2 start screen after the hard reset with the red writing and numbers in the top left hand corner..
Phone is an UK XDA Orbit
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
HELP!!!!!!!

yeah, I had the same problem and have created a thread for it already. unfortunately I got no useful replies, and it seems that I am stuck waiting for an official o2 ROM so that I can recover my Orbit.

It seems there is a way to un brick our phones I just need to get my phone bootted into bootlader mode which no one seems to say how to do??
Can anyone help how I can boot my Orbit , like what combo of keys I need to press to boot it into bootloader mode then XP will see it at a driver level apparently Active Sync still won;t but I will be able to run some German ROM update with the ROM file replaced with the other ones and it may come back to life..
Help how can I boot my phoen in bootloader mode???

I read in here that you hold the voice button and soft reset.

Correct and use mtty
Already see in the forum ....

Thanks guys and apologies for the spelling..I ran the Artemis_USPL before I tried upgrading to WM6 and again have been able to run it after with my new brick now with the phone in bootloader mode but still when I try and run the german ROM update a) it will only work with the german file which freezes @ 3%? This seems to be a known problem reading around and b )when I replace it with the smaller ROM file, 54MB the german one is 66MB, I originally tried to use it doesn't read the ROM file or the update utility doesn't want to read it. I reckon I might be able to get it back if I can get one of the ROM update utilities to read a good ROm file and send it to the phone.
I can;t find this MTTY program to sniff the USB port and return the code of if the USPL util wokred as I think that could be key to all of this.
Can anyone post a quick how to here for
1) install MTTY from somewhere
2) what command to run agaist the phoen to see if the USPL util worked and what values I should be looking for
3) another WM6 ROM version (that the update utils can read) download location I can download from to try and send to the phone using the German update util
Not asking for much am I but I desperately need my phone back WM5 or 6 in the next day or so so really can't send it off.
Thanks

Error message I recive at the 3% stage when using the German ROM and english update util.

use the file attach and read that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285112

Thanks but I'm not that cleud up on what commands I'm meant to be sending. It works in Bootloader mode I ge a response from the phone by send it a command. But even if I get a response telling me what the CID status is its not much help as I think ti shoudl have tekane BEBEs ROM by now as I've got the german ROMUpdateUtility sending that 54,272KB file to the phone but it stops after 3%. What are my options?

That's right. On older models MTTY was quite useful, but not on the Artemis. You cannot use it to read the CID status anyway. If you are not sure about the status, run the USPL tool, just to make sure.

I've already re run the USPL ROMUpdateUtility and it completes 100% okay in bootloader mode. But after I hard reset and then try and flash the WM6 BEBE ROM or any ROM German etc back onto it it either fails with the error code I posted up earlier or gets to 3% and fails.
What are my options at this stage? Does anyone have a link to another ROM I can try like the original WM5 O2 ROM or any other WM6 ROm that might work. I'm willing to give them all a try as it's just a useless phone right now and I haven;t sent it off as 1) I need it before the weekend and 2) As I can flash some ROMs with the USPL and others have done this no problem I really feel there must be a solution as I can still falsh the phone.

What can I say RTFM... I did it all right and I didn't have a brick, I missed out one small detail... loading on the ROM with the extended ROM. All now running and it does seem a little faster than WM5.
Thank you to all those that tried to help out. To the others that are still having probs.. Don't try and run the update in the middle of a busy day in the office whilst trying to manage 100 other things meaning you are probably missing out a line like me...
One question though how do I get back my O2 power and storage meters on the today screen back as I liked them and the WiFi seems to have a bug where when it is enabled and you click on the WiFi symbol up the top it only allows you to switch it on, when it is already on.. so you have to open up the COMM manager to switch it off.

So how did you fix it exactly? I have read this thread thoroughly and can't find out what you did!

ERROR[206] occurs while trying to update ROM to WM6
While tring to update ROM to WM6 on O2 XDA Orbit i encounter ERROR[206].
I wanted to attach the screen shot but dont know how to do that, but anyway what i am doing is i attached my pda to my pc via activesync using supplied usb cord. Everything goes well till i reach a screen where it says "You are now ready to update your ROM image...." and once i click next a progress bar apperas and my pda shuts and activesync exit's automatically and my pda tries to restart with RBG band and some text:RUU, IPL 1.25.0001, SPL 1.25.0000 and USB. And thats it after few seconds or a min i get the ERROR[206] and my pda hangs.
I dont know why Activesysn shutsdown ???
Just an additional in i want to tell that without installing activesync i am not able to connect/pair my pda with my pc. So do i need to install the drivers and then try or it doen't matter cause once i install Active sync i can connect the device.
Please help me with this....
Thanks

unable to load bootloader!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!
I have HTC3300, tried to update rom, now its bricked. I tried to start bootloader by pressing the voicebutton and softreset but loads in t-mobile screen and hangs, im unable to start the bootloader.
Is this end of story or are there any other options to get the bootloader to start????
please help

Bootloader
I had a problem with my phone loaded touch flow 4 and cid unlocking, everything was fine then after a while it froze at boot up.
I look put the battery and did a hard reset, put it into bootloadeder mode, reflashed with a t-mobile rom does not need to be cid unlocked to do that.
Once origonal rom was working, cid unlock again, flashed back to touchflow 4.0 - sorted

Where did you got an tmobile rom from can you tell me. Mine is also freezing on booting almost once every day or so after I've upgraded to 4.0

Stuck in bootloader

Everything was fine, I was just browsing for wireless connections and then I've done a softreset and to my surprise it went into bootloader mode, and now whatever I do (softreset, remove battery, hard reset) it goes immediately in the bootloader mode and I can't boot windows.
I am running SPL 2.10 Olipro IPL 1.04.
Not sure if this is relevant at all, but I am running Schap's 4.31.
Any ideas?
Thanks

read the wiki
since youre hard spl you can flash the rom again. jsut run the ruu and select 2.10 and select hard spl, dont auto-detect,go through the steps and it will flash

Hmmm try reinstalling 4.31 or any other ROM again to see if it works!

Tried that already. I have tried the same ROM again (schaps 4.31), and tried the t mobile official ROM (WM6). they didn't change anything, it flashed the rom to the end and then after the reboot it goes back to the bootloader and can't get off it. I have tried the phone's original ROM which was WM5 but I couldn't do that (doesn't flash it, it says the phone is not available, maybe because it's in bootloader and it doesn't connect to activesync).
The strange thing is that overnight I left the phone off and this morning it did boot into windows (this was on the official t mobile WM6 rom) and went as far as running the custom network settings, but then after the restart it went back to bootloader and now it's back, can't get out of it.
Any ideas?

oooo
im having the very same prob
official wm6 from t-mob (UK) upgrade from WM5 that came with the hermes.
now i cnt get outta boot load.
check out my fight to bash the brick back in to its senses...

Run mtty and try to see if there is bad NAND blocks on the device, to do that run 'info 8' which will report if bad blocks exist. If they do (there should be 3 bad blocks on a normal device, ignore them) then run 'task 2a' which should sort out bad blocks, then flash a new ROM.
EDIT:: Always look at the Hermes Unbricking Thread aswell.

Ok, thanks mr vanx. I'll try that.
Here's a quick update: it would appear that after it is off for a while (about 30 mins, without the battery) it boots into windows, but then after any restart it goes back stuck in the bootloader. Does this mean anything to anybody?

Brilliant

Sweet stuff, glad that worked
set 14 0 i presume is a standard bad NAND command or something, thankfully in HardSPL olipro enabled checking and fixing of bad blocks.
Have fun with your Hermes again

Big Problem cant update any rom

Hello,
afther an update on my p3600 with an error.
I have only the bootscreen of the rom.
I cant flash any new rom , every time i have connection errors.
is there any chance to correkt the problem or to delet the phone completly?
A Hardreset doesn´t bring anything.
Please help me i cant do anything with my p3600.

take a look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572747

i read the thread,
but i have tested to update the hard spl but it doesn´t work.
The update software always told me that there is an connection error.
But when i want to install the rom 6.1 manila 2g the software found an connection and start to update but when the software is at 1% the update software told me that the rom is corrupt

This is the reason you should always install HardSPL BEFORE you start flashing any roms at all.
Once you have bricked it, then it is too late to put HardSPL on there.
The whole point of HardSPL is to ensure that you will always be able to get a connection to the device even if you have a broken rom on there.
If the phone is bricked, with no HardSPL on there, your only remaining option would be to try using an unbricking exploit procedure like this:
HTC Trinity Stack Overflow exploit - how to unbrick any Trinity stuck in bootloader!!
^^^ Sorry I have never had to do this myself and have no experience or advice on how to use that exploit utility ... hopefully there is enough help in that thread to get you going again.
Good luck.
EDIT: I thought I'd better just check you do realise that you can get the Tri-colour SPL screen up manually by holding down POWER + CAMERA buttons and 1sec press of STYLUS RESET button. Quickly reading through that splxploit thread I was disturbed to see just how many people didn't even know who to do that
Maybe it's just my paranoia from owning an "i" model but I have never done a single rom flash without first using that 3 button trick to get into SPL screen.

Try flashing the Stock ROM that came with your phone. It may get you going again. Can be downloaded from the HTC website.

Might be a problem with your radio. Can you provide more details about your unit, ie:
What version is your SPL/HardSPL?
What version is your radio?
What ROM are you using (OS, etc)?

Did you try to remove the battery for a lot of time?

I have two solutions

I also had this problem, and i have two solutions, maybe can help you :
1. On your phone: simultaneously press the volume down and reset to get into boot mode.
Once you have managed this, follow the instructions on the screen of your computers with installation of rom.
2. Possibly you do not succeed the first step, obtain a version of HardSPL Diamond, .nbh or ROMUpdateUtility.exe, and running, with the phone connected to PC and in mod boot loader.
IMPORTANT I recommend :
" Try to get HardSPL-1.24 " , ( versions of HardSPL which are in atachament I have not ever installed on the my HTC Touch Diamond, because already have the HardSPL-1.24 on my phone )
Should work, good luck and more attention next time.

THX!! i reinstalled my hardspl to 1.30 and then i was able to reinstall my rom ^^ and it works

nope :/ still restoring to factory after freeze and reset :/

use MTTY then flash the Hard SPL 1.40 then flash the rom you want

Yep random soft/hard resetting is a sympton of MTTY necessity!

How to flash my HTC Touch pro 2 (sprint)

Hi everyone well I'm new to the flashing and dont want to jump any steps as this could possible brick my phone...
I've been having some problems with flashing as i cant find a step by step to flashing my HTC TP2. I've managed to do the RhodiumW Hard-SPL package but after trying to flash to some custom RUU's the installation seems to go fine its not until the phone first boots up, that's when the phone just hangs on the HTC splash screen
From there i cant do anything other then boot up to the tricolor bootloader screen and re-install the original 2.04.651.4 update!
can someone tell me what im missing to be able to flash my HTC correctly, or at least point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hey Tommy many thanks for the post. I just upgraded my phone and peeling through the information overload, however you direct link does not work for step 1. I want to make sure that I am running the correct piece of software that you recommending. Could you please list the title for that file?

Nevermind I was able to find it via a mirror site.
Back into lurker status for now
Thanks

alright so i was able to install they mightyrom on my phone that went well my phone didnt freeze and everything started the way it should have.
but does that mean i can now flash my phone to other for example "leo cell" or Bxsteez Rhodium" if not how do i get to that point cuz when ever i flas them to they just freese on the white splash screen with the HTC logo in green letters!!
Thanks!

If you have installed Hard SPL then use the sd card method.
1. Format the sd card FAT32 ( they come FAT default) and copy the rom's .nbh file onto it. Rename to Rhodimg.nbh .
2. Insert sd card back into powered off Rhodium. Go into bootloader by pushing down volume and power.
3. If you did it properly and Hard SPL is on your phone then it should say to press power to update os...
If you aren't sure if you have Hard SPL then go to bootloader without the sd card in there, it should say SPL - 0.85.Olinex if you have Hard SPL, anything else won't register the flash file.
Cheers...

OK I was able to update to Winmo 6.5 with no issues....but here is my questions with regards to the Rhodium_W Hard-SPL
I was attempting to run it and it never gets pass 0%...In reading the details of the install instructions it reads
"the device needs to be connected to Activesync or WMDC via USB cable. and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. the phone part should be on).
3) internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and for the license."

I have yet to activate my phone with Sprint could this be my error that I need to active my phone? I wanted to have the phone flashed and customized before activating.

I think you should ask this in the hard spl thread in the cmda section...That is the place for those questions Assuming that you have a cdma phone because you did not mention it. Otherwise check the hard spl thread in the gsm section.

Heading that way thanks for the directions mate!

Did you try flashing the stock ROM? It's always a good idea to try that if you think there's no hope. It flashes everything.
Also, did you try task29?
