Ok this is what i have done and what has happened.
I've had the n520 for a year now with WM 5, have been reading this and other forums RE upgrading to WM 6 etc. I took the plunge using "greymans" ROM from here xda forums, sorry I am unable to post the link
COLOR="blue"]WM 6.1 CE 5.2.19974 (Build 19974.1.2.8) Eng[/COLOR] The ROM worked fine , I re-installed all my old programs "great" no problems.
Included in the ROM is a program from "NEWPLOW" called tuneup, I was experimenting with the settings when I selected under the GPS tag SIRF 2, the loox requested a reboot which i did.
The loox N520 now rebbots only to the splash creen and no further, ie. the mountain walkers. with a small black line 3 mm wide about 2 cm up from the bottom left hand corner.
I have tried a hard reset and i get to the dolphins with the numbers
1.20.G4
1.20 Displayed.
Have tried connecting to the pc but active synch fails to recognise the device.
Finnaly my question, IS IT BRICKED? Or can it be salvaged.
Any advice gratfully recieved.
Cheers Williamsfan
all sorted
Did you solve this problem (reboots only to the splash screen)? I have the same thing ...
Thanks

Hi,
I’ve got a big problem with my Hermes 300 (Vario II).
With WM6 it has worked well but then I’ve flashed the DEV_HERMES_GER_WM6.rar with the OEM_GER_VODA.rar Branding.
After the flashing it hasn’t booted respectively after the windows splash screen it has been hung up.
Then I’ve flashed the windows mobile – black editon 2.5 but it has only run very slowly.
After that I’ve flashed it a second time with the DEV_HERMES_GER_WM6.rar with the OEM_GER_VODA.rar, but now I’ve got the same problem. I haven’t got a WM splash Pic but a black 2.5 and it hangs up, too.
Now I can’t flash it because I’ve got no connection to the active sync 4.5. Only with the bootload I can connect it with my pc.
My question for you: What should I do to resolve the problem?
Bootloader info:
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.04
Thanks for your help

Hi, i tried to upgrade firmware on my hp 4700 to WM5. the ipaq rom update 2.02.14 started and after selecting the rom update file the 4700 reset and shortly after came back with ERROR 503: Active Sync Error. I have hard re-set a couple of times but the only thing that appears on the 4700 screen now is HP invent logo in centre with v1.01 at bottom. Undocked it displays "Serial" at top of screen and docked it shows "USB" Have i turned it into a paper weight or is this recoverable. Upgrade was tried on Vista with windows mobile 6 - but have also tried on xp with active sync 4.5
i have tried loading earlier versions on firmware but it doesn't get past the activesync error.
Any help greatly apprciated.
First of all: I read the Wiki, I followed the instructions, and I could once get it back to life.
But I want to know WHY this happens over and over again.
The story:
I have a MDA Vario II (Hermes, Tytn) for a long time to sync my business mails and calendar- entries. Some Time ago I found this Forum and updated the Device to Windows Mobile 6 (i'm Using Schaps 3.54b) and everything works like a charm.
A few weeks ago my boss as well got the same device, and unfortunately he saw me using Windows Mobile 6 while he was using the T-Mobile Windows Mobile 5.
He wanted me to update his device as well. As I did not have ANY Problems with WM6, I did not hesitate to update his device as well.
The devices are like "clones":
Same Radio- Version 1.51
Same OS - Schaps
Same Applications: Onebridge Mobile Client as the only "non-schaps" - App
Same Configuration: HTC Home without Sound- Tab, no other Extensions on Home.
Same Provider (T-Mobile)
Of course they have different IMEI and different MAC_ Adresses, but that is what it is supposed to be.
But since I gave the device to my boss, he already had the problem the second time: The device will not go over the Windows- Mobile- Splash- Screen. The first time I did not search the WIKI / Forum and just did a Hard- reset and everything was fine again.
Today problems started the second time: First of all the device was not recognized by his laptop (and my laptop eather) any more: It said "Unknown device". And while it always charges (orange led on) for the first few seconds after re- pluggin, it stopps charging after the error- Message on the laptop.
So I thought: Maybe an akku- problem and interchanged his akku with mine.
And now i have the Windows- Boot- Stuck- Thing again.
It's not that I could not reanimate the device by Hard- resetting it, but I want to understand the reason:
How can it be, that exactly the same hardware with exactly the same software reacts that different.
By the way: This already is the second device for my boss, the first one has already been exchanged... After it had Boot- Problems (I reflashed original Radio, Firmware, so that they did not say anything)
Can anyone help ?
EDIT:
I tried leaving the battery out for 20 Minutes -> no success
I tried leaving it in Boot- Screen for 10 Minutes (or even more) -> No Access
I connected it to my PC and it can be found and gets an IP- Adfress that I can ping, but ActiveSync does not connect and the Screen is still a Windows mobile Boot- Screen.
At the Moment I'am trieing to get a log via USB- Monitor. I'm gona post it when I get it...
EDIT2:
OK, cause it's the device of my boss I now gave him mine (after a hard-reset and reinstalltion of the needed application) and reanimated his one by just doing a hard- reset. It came back to live instantly and now I will try to reproduce this hang with his device whilest him using mine. Seems that everybody knows how to reanimate, but nobody knows, why this happens... I'll try to find out and report it back if I can find the reason.
I have the same problem after installing the new HTC Plus plug in.
My ROM is the supa dupa lite one.
Now i need to remember how to do a hard reset!
edit - hard reset go tme back to 'normal'
i tried supa dupa and superstorage dlite, my phone stuck same as you are. .... at last i put any stable .nbh in microsd. then pushed power+ok+soft rest button... reflash back. successful!
Mine with Schaps 4.31 & Radio 1.54 also stucks in Windows Mobile screen after a few day upgrading ROM & radio then installing HTC Plus.
Hard reset does the cure, but I lost all the data.
So what's the culprit ?
i had the same problem, i understood the problem is the calendar.
if you have a schedule in the calendar, with a reminder or with nothing, and you turn off the pda, it will freeze in the windows splash screen when you try to turn it on. Until the schedule is ended.
i had the shap's rom 3.54b, and i resolve installing the 4.30 rom.
bye!
everytime I have had such issues..........was a corrupt installation.
when I am flashing I no touch anything anymore........just gun shy now.
having the same problem, any solutions yet?
Hi I'm a new user and just got my hx4700 2nd hand and need some help flashing the hx4700 to wm6.1 Its wm5 right now. First I tried the normal way of flashing but when I couldn't get the ipaq to sync with the comp. I installed activesync but when I connected the cradle and ipaq nothing happens, only a new hardware found asking for software to install "Hp rndis sync". I tried installing automatically with the cd in the drive but it couldn't find any software and i couldn't get the ipaq to connect to the desktop.
So I tried using the SD card to flash the ipaq instead. I tried using both the SD_IMG program and All Image to copy the rom onto the SD card but when I go into bootloader mode all it showed was the HP logo, the version at the bottom, and the text Serial at the top. Nothing else happened.
Someone help please. I'd really wanted to get it to wm6.1 asap. Thanks in advance.
Ah solved the problem. I was using the cd that came with the ipaq. Tried the wm5 upgrade CD and it updated activesync to 4.1 and now activesync works fine. Am flashing to wm6.1 as I'm typing this Can't wait.
Btw should I be seeing anything while the files upload to the ipaq?
Ok now I'm faced with another problem. The moment the files are supposed to upload to the ipaq, and the small little window that comes out and say files should start uploading or something like that, the window behind which is supposed to have some text, hangs with only a letter 'P' and turns "not responding" I tried a soft reset and nothing was flashed yet.
I tried the GUI version of the bootloader and it seems its stucked at 0% complete forever. Doesn't hang like the non GUI version, but still doesn't start flashing either.
I have an FSC Loox N560 PDA which I wanted to upgrade to WM 6.1 (newplow) from Pups 0.0.3 so I first hard-reset it to avoid any programs running and then stared flashing. The PDA asked me to run an unsigned dll, but then the updater disconnected and gave an error message multiple times, even after warm or cold boot, so I decided to hard-reset again. However, the PDA did not hard reset, it is now stuck at the today screen (even the suspend button is not working) with a few today modules loaded, and the BT tray icon (the Wifi one not). The PC says "unrecognised hardware" so ActiveSync can't connect, and the Updater or MTTY can't connect, either. Please help...
Issue seems to be solved by hard-reseting several more times. Hope this helps those who get the same prob in the future.
However, it still can't connect to the PC (ActiveSync stuck at Connecting...)
