troubles flashing... help, please

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!!!

i flashed nfsfans rom, everything went fine but when it restarted it just stays on the verizon bootscreen and wont let me do anything i think its bricked but im not really sure please help me ive tried soft resseting and removing the battery it still does the same thing i dnt know what to do

i had the same problem.. somebody said there was a fix i didnt find it, the problem was probably missing a step in using the unlocker, it asks you to unplug and replug the phone so it can close activesync, i didnt do it and ended up where you are.
i got annoyed after trying to find a fix for an hour or 2 and called verizon because i didnt buy insurance for it, luckily i was still in my year warrant the vogue comes with and they sent me a new 1, i just had to send them my broken one back
its not really bricked i dont think, but verizon couldnt get it to reset from their side so it's considered that way

ya but is obviously no under warrenty any more so what can I do to fix it????

Give us a little more info
what does the SPL in bootloader show?
what radio is showing on the 1st splash screen?
If all else fails place into bootloader and flash a shipped ROM and start over.

yeah. whitey is correct.
what bootloader did you use?
you probably used .41 or .40 unlcoker instead of 2.31.

im kind of a noob how do i find the stuff??

uhh. just go to bootloader mode (quad color screen with seriel when not plugged in and usb when plugged in via usb)
(power+camera+reset hole) then tell us what you see.
just type all of the info on the screen.

alright it says
vogu100
spl-0.36.0000
cpld-3

hmm. i would recommend you downgraded your rom+radio with a nongps rom because you used a nongps unlocker.
use a tnz one
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Im...RUU_signed.rar
and then update the radio using 3.42.5 or 3.42.3
-sorry can't find link to exact radio update, but you should update via sd card-
then load stock rom
then unlock with 2.31 unlocker (cokeman's)
then flash custom rom

i installed nfsfANS ROM but i only get date when i make a call it says something about athintcation

is this when you only make a call?
if so. then you call your carrier.
(for verizon its *228)
and press option 1.
idk about sprint, bell, altell. but you need to authorize your phone to make phone calls, receive sms, and use data. in order to use data/send-receive pix messages, you need to use a cab. avalaible here.

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] Can't access bootloader or recovery, black screen only

Hi guys,
I've tried searching but can't seem to find something that exactly matches my issue and I'm scared I'm gunna muck this up!
Just got a One X and unlocked, rooted and flashed android revolution 9.4.1 with CWM and all was working great.
Tonight I decided to flash a camera mod, worked well. I also flashed a beats mod, brightness mod and quick settings.
Now all I get is the phone stuck in a bootloop, no access to the bootloader via power on and vol down.
I'm new to HTC devices like this and I'm kinda new to all of this including fastboot etc
I would really appreciate some help here and if someone could point me in the right direction and help me get this sorted then a pint is on me sir.
If you could keep it simple like step by step
Really sorry if this is in the wrong forum
James

Mods are specific to the base on the ROM, sounds like you flashed an incompatible mod.
You should still be able to get into bootloader, though. Try again, then drop into recovery and reflash ARHD.

thanks for getting back to me,
Yeh i think it must be an incompatability.
Nope sorry cant access bootloader or fastboot, the phones charge has now died too.

Is it going back to displaying the white HTC screen when it bootloops? If so, keep the volume down key held before it loops and it should go into bootloader.

I'm at work now so I can't test this but I will do when I get home, thanks for the suggestion.
If this works, what do I need to do next?
PS: The phone has NO charge, any way I can charge it?
Thank you

[Q] Cant Boot into Recovery/Bootloader

Well, I´ve recently done the most stupid thing in my life, my phone was running fine and I decided to flash another HBOOT, ofc. my phone got stuck on "HTC LOGO" screen.
At this part I would normally pull out the battery, restart in recovery/bootloader but I have one problem, my VOLUME button DOESNT WORK, because I´m a retard and the wires (or how ever you can call it) are cut off(dont ask me why, pls), so its not working, so I cant boot into recovery, or bootloader, im f*cking stuck in "HTC LOGO" screen with no clues.
So my question is, is there some workaround? I mean, are there other combos? Using the 4 buttons on the bottom? All I need is to connect the phone to the pc, so i can somehow control it.
Or do I really have to go to the store and let them fix it up?
Thanks.
Sincerely, F*cking retard.

Hello, Mr. F*cking retard
To get in fastboot mode (pretty much bootloader), hold powerbutton+backbutton.
When installing a hboot, you need to:
1. Backup your current rom.
2. Boot in fastboot.
3. If needed, flash downgrader.
4. Flash new hboot.
5. Restore backup.
With respect, The Guy with a weird username.

Mr. YouAreMyHeroAndIWillLoveYouForRestOfMyLife
You just saved my day, i succesfully rebooted, flashed another hboot, rebooted, everything is working smooth.
I owe you a beer.
Many Thanks !
Mr.F*cking Retard.
