Newbie stuck at HTC Mobility screen - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

Long time lurker, first time poster.
I just flashed my Vogue (Sprint) using the Sticky "[GUIDE]How to Flash your Vogue..." and now I can't get past the HTC Mobility screen. I searched the forums here for some help and everything suggested centers around being able to actually get the computer to recognize the Vogue again. I tried the bootloader mode and I get the RGB screen with:
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.CoKe
CPLD-3
I've tried reflashing, but again, my computer makes the "ding-dong" like the hardware is there, but it doesn't actually connect and the utility doesn't recognize is.
Any ideas? I'm stuck.

Crap! I put this in the wrong area. Feel free to move to Q&A thread.

Put you Vogue in bootloader plug in the usb it should say usb at the bottom now you can flash away. I would recommend first to run your carriers shipped ROM "newest with a GPS radio is best" Then you should be able to flash a custom ROM.

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??

I think I bricked my phone.... Please help!

I have been waiting nearly two months for HTC to get on the ball and release the official version of Windows Mobile 6.5 so I could download it and see if it's worth using as my main phone OS. But they have been lazy and have yet to come out with it. So, I got impatient and began looking into the roms that were already available and how to flash my phone to get them to work. The first step I read that I needed to do was unlock my phone. However, I forgot what the text said at the top of the page (here's the link to the program I used, if that's helpful): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062. So I proceeded to use the Diamond Unlocker (as that should have been a huge tip-off to me then, but this was my first ever unlocking experience, so I had no idea what I was doing) Now, my HTC Touch Pro 2 from Verizon won't even turn on. It won't go into a bootloader screen, absolutely nothing happens when I press power button, the reset button, or a combination of any of the buttons on the device.
However, when I plug the phone into my computer, a device does pop up: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I can't get anything more than that, though. No software drivers will install, it does try very hard to find some though.
Any help, advice, tips, tricks, random guesses, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your help.
Welcome aboard
try to reflash another ROM
have a deep read here

Good luck,
Buttons don't respond.
I can't get my phone to turn on or even go into bootloader mode. So, without that, I don't understand how I can flash a new ROM onto my phone.
And hello to you as well.
I did read that link, but none of the button codes worked, and my phone isn't responding to the Hard-SPL that I started when my phone was connected. It says that it cannot find the device and I need to resync it. But I start Windows Mobile Device Center and it can't find my phone either.
However, an interesting new development is that my phone, every now and again, starts charging when connected to my computer. The light turns orange, and my computer picks it up. But it does this for a bit, and then it changes back to nothing.
If you can't access the bootloader using any of the methods detailed here, then I hate to say it, but your device is probably bricked. It's really difficult if at all possible to recover when the SPL (AKA bootloader) is severely damaged or completely destroyed. There were some tools a while back to help recover from nuked SPLs, but AFAIK they aren't compatible with the TP2, and you have to be security unlocked, which I can pretty much guarantee you aren't.
Your best bet would be to take it back to the store and play dumb, saying that it "just stopped working" in the hopes that they'll give you a new one, but there are no guarantees it'll work. Best of luck
That's what I need to know
Thanks for the information. I just needed to know what to do. I can't access the bootloader or anything even similar to it, so I am just going to get it replaced and then be much more careful in the future.

I think I just bricked this phone.

So I think I just bricked my dads vogue.
I followed the instructions in the HOW TO FLASH YOUR VOGUE thread as best as I could and now I'm in a rough position. He's been ranting about the WinMo OS almost since he got it and wanted to try Android so I tried to flash it.
What's going on:
Blank (black) screen
Backlight is on
Orange status(?) LED
Unresponsive to anything
Powering up yields a green status LED, one buzz of the vibration, call & end keys light up then it reverts to the above. Takes 1 or 2 seconds.
Plugging in the USB gives me "Found New Hardware: Data Interface" but I don't have the drivers or w/e is required to install it.
Any one able to help me? I figured this should be pretty straight forward but it's turning out to be a nightmare. :cries:
Try to go into bootloader mode (Power+Camera+Reset), and flash to stock rom.
Thanks that helped. Now to successfully acquire and load a ROM.
So I've gotten back to red/green/blue/white striped screen but nothing will read the phone/let me flash anything to it.
Screen says:
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.CoKe
CPLD-3
USB

just flash with coke 2.31 again.Most of the time it works (rename coke2.31mfg.exe to .rar,unrar,extract and run ruu)
I've tried that 3 or 4 times, it doesn't recognize there's even a device connected.
Got the help required to fix this thing from my other thread. Thanks every one.

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!

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
hip
and HTC Touch PRO2 MR1 from the official portal hangs at 1%, then is restarted Device, and as expected if there is no OSes lit logo HTC ...
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
1.42??
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?

[Q] Stuck at 'htc' screen w/ triangles, tried to run RUU, but PC won't recognize Evo

I know you all have heard this before, and I've tried the better part of my day surfing forums, trying to solve this dilemma.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's what happened, I had followed http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_4G:_Full_Update_Guide to the tee (using Unrevoked and Clockwork Mod). Flashing the latest radio, it booted into the ROM well, but it was stuck on 1x and not EV. So I read up that I had to go back to a Sense ROM to try a potential fix. Having trouble, I decided to go completely back to stock.
This is where the trouble really started.
I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=shipped+roms (the very first file) but, there was an error at the end (which I don't recall) but basically the next time I tried Vol Down + Pwr, it would get stuck at the screen with htc in the middle and triangles in the corners.
After further reading, it was suggested that I retry another RUU, but now the PC won't even recognize the Evo.
I've flashed phones before, so I'm not panicking, but when you spend 7 plus hours frustrated--it starts to take a toll on you.
Any advice is appreciated.
RESOLVED: I installed HTC Sync's USB drivers and it worked out just fine. Rookie mistake. Mods feel free to delete this thread.
