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???

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

Please Help! Upgrade ROM code error...

Hi, hoping someone can help.
Getting the following. Can't get past it. Also what does the Diam100 stand for as I notice others have different.
A tri-colored screen that reads as follows:
Diam100 64M
SPL-1.37.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v.11
-----------------------
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
Thanks for you help!

1: state the subject in the thread title, that's what it's for
2: search is your best friend; the issue you mention has been discussed in several threads
3: I'd recommend: get into bootloader mode (seems like you can); install hardSPL again, flash again with any ROM supported by hardspl.
4: insert [solved] in front of your thread title.
5: this is NOT a relevant subject for this forum (it's got nothing to do with rom development)

apologies, im new to this (only got the diamond today) and havent been able to use it yet and this forum was the closest thing i could find to getting it working.
Im unable to enter bootloader mode (volume down, reset?)
Also can't get my diamond to connect to pc and keep getting connection errors when trying to install Hard-SPL?
Thanks, your help is appreciated.

The tricolor screen IS bootloader mode.
Just run the HardSPL, then Rom upgrade utility from a rom, and that's it.
IF you got it in this state, you'd probably want to return it (you got warranty?)

Thanks for your help.
Is HardSPL going to install even though ActiveSync isn't recognising the device (ie not connected). When i run it it seems to work and then a grey screen with 0% shows. Then the install program comes back with a 'connection problem' message,i go through all the steps but just keeps happening. I read posts on this earlier today but it seems the install program is fixed and shouldnt do it any more????

...also ive done all the firewall changes to make sure it connects etc etc. Forgive me if im not doing something that has been posted already, but i couldnt find it.
Thanks.

I had the same problem make sure you install the HARD SPL but the unsigned version not the sign version.....it should work them.....

i think there's two issues people are describing here..
1) installing hard spl.. if you get the 0% error, then you need to follow the instructions in the thread and manually run SSPL from your phone and then start the RUU
2) if you keep getting errors while trying to install your rom AFTER installing hard-spl, then you probably are flashing an unsigned ROM on the signed hard-spl.. go to the sticky thread and download a signed version of the ROM you want..

Thanks guys. I dont see how i can do the manual install, as it requires me to copy a file onto the diamond and at this stage i cant even get activesync to connect to it. I dont beleive its a problem with activesync or the pc as ive tried many many things, but rather that the diamond isnt communicating properly.
Also i havent even got to installing the new ROM yet as i cant get past HARDSPL install.
Do you think installing the un-signed HARDSPL version will work? as in will it install when the signed version won't?
all your help is very much appreciated. I cant wait to actually turn my phone on for the first time!

you haven't turned it on yet
is that right?
you have not had it working yet?
or have you tried to update it even before using the phone???????

yeh unfortunatley thats right, yet to turn it on. hopefully will have it up and running shortly...

1) can you confirm exactly what happened to get you stuck in the bootloader screen? (it usually doesn't just happen by itself)
2) Have you tried to soft reset to get your device out of bootloader?
3) are you flashing in win xp or vista?
4) are you connected through a usb hub?

yes, tried soft rest but it just returns to bootloader screen.
using winXP SP3. Not using a USB hub. have tried different ports.
Have tried the signed and unsigned versions of HardSPL.
I keep getting to the 0% grey screen and then the communication error 262.
Maybe i should try and just flash the original ROM? Does anyone know where I can download it from and the HTC e-club doesnt have it? Or is this not the next step???
Thanks!

yeah try the original ROM..
but still i don't understand how you got to this point.. what were you trying to flash when it got stuck in bootloader?

I bought the phone like this.
Do you know where i can get the original ROM from? I tried e-club (both worldwide and SEA) no luck.
Appreciate your help on this.

?? that's quite strange... is there any reason why you're not just returning it for a new set?

try this thread for SEA ROM

I bought it whilst overseas last week in SEA. Im now back in australia and would like to try my best to fix it before going down the long and difficult warranty path.
Do you think its buggered? Or the fact that its in the bootloader screen and giving me this message quite common on failed ROM updates?
Do you think an orginal ROM install will fix it? if so where can i get it from?
Thank you.

well that's what i'm asking..
you got this screen when you pulled it out of the box, or tried to update the ROM and then hung on this screen. also, if you did try an update, was it a SEA update, or australian ROM
i wouldn't say its a common issue.. i also don't think your device is bricked, since its showing bootloader.. diamond is relatively new so i don't really know a lot about getting it out of this state.
trying to load original ROM is a good option.. one thing is for sure, before any further flashes (after you get out of this mess) you want hard-spl on your device.
If flashing original ROM doesn't work, i'd suggest PM'ing walshieau, olipro, or pof as they know a lot more about this type of stuff.. do post your results

Thanks for the link above. i'll give it a go. is it different from the one in the ROM list??

Help or explain plssssss.

Hello Everyone,
I have HTC SPRINT TOUCH PRO 2 PHONE.
I was updating the RADIO version on my phone and after it installed the device went to REBOOT and it never opened again and it doesn't goto the boot loader. The only reaction that the phone does is when i put it to charge the red light turn on.
I have tried hard/soft Reset, and nothing have worked.
PLEASE, DOES ANYONE CAN EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED ?? OR What can I do ??
Thank you for your answer in advance.

could be a battery issue, seems like its not holding a charge. Go to a store and try a new battery?

Sorry, but it sounds like you bricked your device. I'm guessing you flashed a radio not made for your device, like a GSM radio. If you can't access the bootloader, then I'd say you probably need to get your device replaced under warranty (by going to the store you bought it from and playing dumb about why it won't work so they'll replace it) or send it to HTC and pay to get it replaced.

try to reflash back to the stock rom...download and use the sprint exe on this page to do so...http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
ive had this happen and this was the only way to get it working again

Thank you everyone for trying to help, I will try to reflash the stock ROM and hopefully it works otherwise I will send it to HTC since i dont have warranty.

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!

Alright so ive been able to flash my rom to my first custom rom by energy which i like very much, although still a noob, i want to flash it to a different rom

Lock
When you start Rhodium_CDMA_HardSPL_V1_10R3_100HSPL stoppers on 0%.
I removed the firmware via mtty 1.42 entering the command: task 28 \ task 29. Ie fully formatnul system. This is often applied to remove the lock on the HTC 6800. At this time nothing worked. Under bootloger any firmware stoppers on 0%. Besides, even the official RUU_Rhodium_W_S2_Sprint_WWE_2.04.651.4_RS_2.32.00WF_NV_SPCS_2.20_0224_PRL60660_S

What should I do?? If GSM is blocked, how do I remove it to flash?
Ps Is it possible to disable the lock on the firmware via mtty

Thank you very much for your answer!

the Hard-SPL will only work if you booted windows mobile. you have to sync the phone in windows mobile to the PC.

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?

TP2 Flashed with wrong HSPL,what can i do :(

hello guys,
after a long research i landed to this forum at last.
today morning i had a client who wanted to have new rom on his tp2 with russian language. but unfortunatly i flashed the tp2 with a wrong flasher! first time hapening something like this... i was pretty sleepy that i didnt even recognised that it was the wrong one... and now the client wants his phone back but the phone dosnt even turn on and not going in the boot menu... only when i plug the usb cable to the pc with the tp2, the pc recognises that there is a usb connected.. but only this.. im really stuck in a bad situation i would be very appreciative if someone can help me with this out the client will come tomorrow again, i hope there is some options to get the tp2 back alive

Try to flash back with stock, but depending on what you've flashed, it might very well be bricked.
This is why you should always be careful as to pay attention to what you are flashing.
Did you apply the wrong hSPL, or the wrong ROM? Did you flash something meant for a CDMA device on a GSM device...? Please, explain exactly what you have done.

Firstly thank you very much for your answer. I apply the wrong hSPL. HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone i used, the hSPL from blackstone >.< ..my device is htc touch pro 2 Sprint . It much be CDMA but with Gsm radio as far i know. actually the progress didnt start.. there were not a loading bar and no boot mode on phone screen (green-blue-red). suddenly phone turned off and red service light turned on.now when i connect it to pc,i hear usb connected sound and the pc reads the phone as ''qualcomm cdma tecnologies msm'' and requests driver for it.

Does anyone have a clue if there is a solution or what i can do ? or even if there is no way to fix it, except with Jtag ? :S

You flashed a RHOD with hSPL for BLAC. That's pretty blatant mistake dude.
I'm not sure if there's a way back. Try flashing stock like I already suggested. Try relocking too, I don't know.
You might have to go into mtty, erase everything, flash the radio, then flash stock. Next time, be more careful.

I would flash it back to stock but the problem is that i need to get activesync with the phone.. my pc dosnt connect to the phone with activesync because i cant open the phone :S do you think with mtty it could work mate ? im gonna search for that now.. thanks

HardSpl doesn't show a progress bar when flashed. Can you manually put the phone in bootloader mode (Press volume down button and power it up)?

If you can get it into bootloader what does it show on the screen? You may be able to flash the shipped rom after you are in bootloader if when you connect to your PC it says USB toward the bottom of the bootloader screen and then click on the exe for the shipped rom on your PC. Or maybe try flashing the re-locker as suggested earlier to see if you can install the correct SPL.

i cant get bootloader mode(volum-,power up).im gonna try flash via sd if no succes then gonna try relocker ...i'll post result..

If you flashed the wrong HSPL then you have bricked the device. There is no recovery outside of a jtag box. I don't know of anyone who has made one of those fora Rhodium anyway. It sounds like you owe your client some money.
By the way, if you can't get into the bootloader, then you can't flash via SD.

Indeed, and a great way to end the thread.
