Ok I've flashed close to a dozen times using various great ROMS everyone has provided and never had a problem. Today I realized that ATT/HTC released their official ROM yesterday and I thought I would give it a try. I followed their instructions but it did not work.
My phone looked as though it was updating and it got stuck at 11%. Followed the instructions to recover and it still did not work. Now my phone is stuck at the Triple Color Bar screen and I cannot do anything.
Did I brick my phone?
Can I use some of the options to try to unbrick in the xda wiki?
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried flashing a different rom or using a different pc to flash with?
i managed to revive mine from that state the key is getting the usb to let you update again dont plug in the cable until after the ruu is looking for the connection might take a couple tries but that worked for me.
Hi
Try this:
1) Turn your phone off completely
2) Hold the side OK button and the power button, at the same time push the reset button at the bottom with your stylus.
3) this should get you into the bootloader (the three colour screen)(dont be lazy and just let it load into the bootloader, actually run the key sequence ive just mentioned!)
4) on your PC run the update, i would reccomend the latest official update for your handset, BUT, do the following:
a) Make sure you have WinRAR installed
b) Right click on the update file you have just downloaded
c) 'Extract' the update file to the folder it makes
d) within that folder should be ANOTHER executable file that has the same icon as the original update
e) Extract this file again
f) open the folder it makes and within that there should be a RUUSIGNED.NBH and also the RUU utility itself
5) Run the update utility in the second folder
6) once the utility has loaded, plug your phone in (the text will change from 'SERIAL' to 'USB')
7) proceed with the update and see what happens
hope that helps
good luck.

You should not update using the Oficial ROM release Update because you put in the boot loader from here (Hard-SPL-V7) and it will try over righting the entire rom if you do and is probably what messed up your update attempt. Use Dutty's NBH tool and just decompile the NBH of the official rom, then recompile the windows, splash screens and radio into a new NBH then flash using the RUUwrapper from this site to flash the phone.

Yes I've tried two different Official ATT ROMs and on different computers but same problem. Actually the only one that will attempt to start loading are the ATT ROMs and none of the cooked ROMs here are loading. Maybe that has something to do with the way they are packaged.

This looked the most promising maybe because it felt like I was doing something and I was using the ATT ROM again to update, and it actually started updating again. But it stopped at 11% again and gave me the 262 error.
Below pulled from readme.txt file.
"ERROR [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode."

Haven't yet tried this because I am having a hard time getting details on this. I've been searching looking for "duttythroy nbh tool", "nbh tool", "dutty nbh tool", and "dutty's nbh tool" and I can't find it.
If this helps anyone this is what I have on my tri-color screen:
HERM100
IPL - 1.04
HERM100
SPL - 2.03

You can also try to flash from the SD card:
- format a SD card with FAT32
- extract the .NBH file from the rom image you like (for your device of course)
- rename the .NBH to HERMIMG.NBH and copy it to your SD card
- put SD card in phone and start it in bootloader (hold OK button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom)
- confirm flashing on screen
- flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes.
This also works for normal (non preproduction) devices but keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing might not work. - this was taken from one old thread
- notes - you should backup everything on your SD card to your PC (because except for HERMIMG.NBH it should be blank)
- you can not get USB related error because it loads from a card
- if you flash official ROM you flash it with everything - radio ROM, Windows and bootloader
I am not really sure about bootloader you should have but for official upgrade official bootloader should be ok (it is first thing to be flashed - so I think you have bootloader from ATT ROM already.
Hope it can help somehow...
hey, what is your spl version?
it should say on your bootloader mode
and then read this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
that really helps a lot, it has the solution and stuff. hope you unbrick your phone! all i did was download the update and it reloaded to wm5 update on my 8525 then after that, i went for olipro's 2.10 so i dont unbrick it anymore =) then flash all you want!
oh yea the factory update for my 8525 that unbricked my phone was this http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8525/software-downloads.html
try loading that in your phone =)
Ok that was the oddest thing but it worked. I've been trying to possibly unzip some of the packages by way of what duke_stix instructed. My last ROM was Schaps most recent 4.0. I unzipped what he had and ran the RUU file. What was funny though is that it started updating up to 3% then gave me the 260 error but this time my phone restarted and booted back up. I don't know what happen but it works now. If this is suppose to go in as a fix I don't know what happen.
Thank you everyone for all your help. I want to reflash my ROM but I will wait until I see this working for a while.

what is a hard sol and how do I do it? I wanna go back to the OEM Official ROM to see if it fixes my no service phone problems.
Ok, I've tried everything that was posted in this thread and nothing worked so far.
My last setup before trying to reinstall the Radio is:
AT&T 8525 (location - Hawaii)
Black Majik's WM6
Herm Radio 1.43.00.00
Hard SPL-V7
The OS has been working great until this previous Monday. Also just in case if this is any relevant, Hawaii has just recently upgraded and turned on it's 3G network just a couple of weeks ago. They are still tweaking the whole thing to make sure all is well. Unfortunately it seems that something they did this past Monday seemed to really screw up the 8525's.
The reason I'm trying to reinstall my radio is because I happened to go to the phone settings, and saw that there was no Radio version on the screen. Thought this might also add to the problem.
Well where I'm at now is that I'm stuck at the Tri-Color loader screen. I've read the Wiki regarding fixing a bricked phone. Doesn't seem to help.
So I'm now stuck and need expertise of more knowledgeable members who might have been in the same situation as me.
Please, really need help as this is a company phone and I've got to get it working cause I don't wanna have to pay for it.
Hi!!! i've got a serious problem!! i own a HTC Touch Pro 2. The TOUCHscreen stopped working for i don't know what reason! i need to remove hard spl for warranty reasons....but i cant!! because i need to tap on the screen the YES to allow installation.

I had a bad USB port and used the SD card to flash to the .87 SPL, which is what T-Mobile uses. I think it was just a matter of putting the correct file on the card and going into bootloader.
EDIT: That was a few weeks ago, IIRC, I had to push the UP Volume to confirm the load.
Hey, It's always me, "americano91"! I'm having Internet problems at home, so I'm writing with my friend's account... anyway, where can I find "the correct file" for rhodium? Because the only way to get back to the 0.79.0000SPL was the .exe file (RhodiumSPLRelocker_079SPL.zip, from the Hard SPL release thread) that has to be executed from PC. So the question is: do I have to find another file to put on the card? (just on the card, in the root, in some specific folder or alone in the whole card?)
Thank you!

If you want to install 0.79....
1. Go into bootloader (hold volume down + hold power on)
2. Put your usb cable in your pc and your phone. You should now see USB in the bootloader.
3. Run the 0.79 on your computer.

Screen problem
hi all...been a while now with this problem. My xda mini II only gives me a white screen. I can hear a startup chime, as if it is ready to be callibrated, but only a white screen shows. I have tried soft reset, bootloader, and even physcically resetting the screen under the case.

After doing soft reset to my htc trinity it gave me black screen and nothing than this...tried flashing new rom i entered boot loader and flashed correctly but after it finished flashing and reset it gave me black screen also tried different roms but same proplem
Can Anyone help?!!
Hai...! I am not expert on this stuff . may the other can give you a good solution to solve your problem. Did you try to hard reset your device or do hard SPL before flashing? if you didn't do the Hard SPL that's the problems. Some one said to fix the broken Trinity with JTAG Solution, be careful to do this.
See for the thread about JTAG to unbrick your Trinity on this forum.
Hope it will help you...
hmmm..i use olipro 1.30 hard spl,,,but i am wondering why just it cant be replaced by old spl?? and also using the JTAG solution seems dangerous alittle

Hi EgyPharaoh, Have you tried flashing back to the Stock OEM ROM yet? That will usually fix problems with a bad flash for me. You can find it HERE. I would not recommend looking into JTAG just yet.
If this does not work, let me know and we will research the next step.

Sorry about the delay, and thank you for the PM reminder.
Try flashing directly from the BootLoader Screen, by holding both the Power and Camera Buttons while you press and release the Reset Button using your stylus. Continue to hold the Power and Camera Buttons until your phone enters bootloader.
If that does not work, try to flash using your SD Card.
Using either 7zip or WinRAR, extract the contents of the OEM ROM you downloaded earlier. You are looking for the RUU_signed.nbh file inside. If you prefer to just download it, you can find it HERE.
Rename the file from RUU_signed.nbh to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to your SD Card. Don't place it in any folder, just in the Root of the Card. Place the SD Card back into your phone if it's not already.
Now, Enter Bootloader by holding both the Power and Camera Buttons while you press and release the Reset Button using your stylus. Continue to hold the Power and Camera Buttons until your phone enters bootloader. It should at this time start to flash the OEM ROM you copied earlier. Hopefully, this will be successful. If it is, it will have replaced your HardSPL ROM & Radio, so you will need to flash those again.
Let me know if this works or not.

Awesome, glad to hear it worked. Remember, you will need to Flash HardSPL again if you want to flash Custom ROMs again, and also an updated Radio if you prefer.

Then you are fine. I guess you have an OEM ROM that has the HSPL and Radio stripped out of it.
i have problem... i trying to flash my diamond friends, and i use mtty(test29), but i don't know his diamond is not already had HSPL, and its too late... the phone already formatted, and stuck @ Touch diamond... but still can access bootleader.
i solve this with trying to flash with original ROM,
1. enter bootloader, connect to PC. and the PC will detect it as Qualcomm Device/HTC Device or else.
2. run the original RUU, then its flash even though the activesync not GRENN
3. after flashing, do the basic setting, connect your phone again via activesync
4. run HSPL
thanks... hope its can help for any one who do mtty before HSPL the device

yeah.. just get panic at first time then i not thinking to flash with signed ROM. thanks
Let me just start off by saying poop.
I've been reading up on these forums quite a lot, equipping myself with enough knowledge to get going on using this phone to its potential.
After the anticipation of getting my DHD, I went about rooting it. I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076.
Everything went fine without much trouble. I completed all the steps in rooting it and gaing SU access. Also installed the Clockwork Recovery mod without a hiccup. I went on to install the Android Revolution ROM and going through the guide I used a tool called: 'Easy Wipe Upgrade.'
After installing this zip, the phone reboot and it just refuses to budge. Stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I've held down the bottom volume button with power and it gets me into HBOOT. I've tried a variety of option such as factory resets and nothing seems to be working.
My luck and phones. Just have a very expensive brick now sitting on my desk. Ah
I'd appreciate any help I can get please. Thanks.
I managed to resolve it!
Just FYI. Mounted the USB (Which was hidden fairly deeply) I guess you don't look when you panic? I then dropped on the ROM and installed it and boot up took a while but voila, it worked!
Well done, I would go mental if I bricked my phone. That's why I am still just reading up rather than trying things.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
in the exact same situation as you where Could you go into abit more detail how you resolved this? currently have no phone cheers
whats wrong with your phone mate
Just so you know, as long as you have access to the bootloader (can be stock bootloader with S-ON, doesn't matter), 99% of the time you can 'unbrick' your phone by installing a stock RUU (PD98IMG.zip method) which returns your phone to complete stock.
If you install the wrong RUU while ENG HBOOT S-OFF then you can potentially fudge up your phone for good (unless you have Radio S-OFF, then you are fine - just install the correct RUU).
So don't worry, because there is nearly always a way to go back to how your phone was before you started hacking it.

You are not supposed to rename the RUU file, rather you run the RUU file and then afterwards locate the ROM.zip file located in your temp folder. This ROM.zip file is meant to be renamed PD98IMG.zip, NOT the RUU file.
ok that was stupid of me.. ok will try to give it a go..
sorry if this sounds stupid to you again.. but, i just wana be sure.. its my first smartphone..
anyway, i run the ruu file on my pc, yeah? so then when i run it, it asks me to connect my dhd using the usb cable.. so i did... but it couldnt detect my phone.. thus, it couldnt continue it's setup.. ;-( thank you for helping out..
Make sure you install HTC Sync, it should also install all the DHD USB drivers needed.
hey, do you have any step by step guide on doing this? im afraid il do something wrong again and just risk messing up the phone even more..
i have htc sync and the htc drivers on my laptop but when i connect the usb plug to my phone and try to run the ruu.. it still gives me the prompt of no connection from the pc and android phone.. :-| what am i doing wrong? sorry...
thanks in advance for the any help!
i managed to get to the update part.. but now it prompts a 131 error message.. :-( help?
