Ok, I know you probably get tons of these inquiries...I think I bricked my TP2, but am crossing my fingers that there is a way to 'unbrick' it.
I tried installing the "Timberwolf" ROM (Sorry I do not remember who the chef is). It completed as expected, but when it rebooted, all I get is a white screen.
There is no way to synch with my desktop so I can't simply install a new ROM. I've tried to boot from my SD Card (i.e. RHODIMG.nbh) and hard reset. When I do this, the bootloader comes up and when I press vol up, the install status bar completes within 5 seconds.
Please, please, PLEASE....does anybody know of any way to fix this?
Thanks for your help.
First, you would probably have better luck with a response in the Touch Pro 2 section.

Did you HARDSPL your Touch Pro 2 first?

If not, try with the phone off, hold the VOLUME DOWN and press POWER on top.
Connect to PC.
Try to flash the NATIVE package for your provider, ie: A Stock ROM. Not the custom ROM you installed.

I flashed a new rom (Energy Rom) into my Diamond before.
After power on.......
just "TOUCH DIAMOND" on the screen
and after few seconds....
"R 1.08.25.20
G 52.44.25.24U
D 2nergy ROM" (in red colour)
appear on the right bottom screen
then stop...
It cannot run window mobile6.5 now.........how can I do???
I cannot connect to PC .......
Have you tried to manually open the bootloader, connect it to PC and than flash another rom ? (maybe the original one will help)
i had the same problem with my pro. but my pro somehow fixed itself, i just kept pulling the battery out and wait a minute then put the battery back in and turn it on then like the 12th time it loaded up very slowly so i ran to my computer and loaded another rom. but i'm sure you tried that.
have you tried a hard reset, it's differnt from each carrier i think but it's something like hold the phone upside down and press the volume down button and then put your stylus in the reset button, idk if it will work but what can it hurt. but just rememebr there is a couple differnt ways of doing it and i think it's by the carrier.
Sorry to hear that..
I would recommend a hard reset first. Do that by reseting your phone using your stylus then immediately hold the volume down button and the enter button (the round center button on your dpad).
Keep holding them until you are prompted to hard reset. Follow the instructions. After the hard reset, if your phone still doesn't boot enter bootloader manually by reseting uing the stylus and hold down the volume down and the button with the backward arrow on your dpad. Keep holding until the phone enters bootloader. Connect your phone using USB to your computer and flash a new ROM. If no ROM works, the original should work.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
I have same problem and hard reset helps to fix that...I recomend after that to change energy rom because it can happens again...
I have a Stock TILT 2 (TP 2) never flashed running basic programs Mobile Shell never had any issues with it, haven't installed new software in a few weeks , but I soft resetted it this morning and it keeps getting stuck in the boot screen. when first turned on it will run through boot screen then load screen for a millisecond then back to boot screen and never advances again , I've tried battery out sim card out Sd card out everything, even tried hard reset , but wont allow me to hard reset with front buttons and power, is there another way to hard reset , is it possible my phone just bricked for no reason ? thanks for any help ?
have you tried to do a hard reset via the pc? the original rom is on the htc website so you can try useing the exe file there. there is also an updated rom you can try to flash there. hope that helps
You might try sending it to the bootloader screen and reflashing. I don't know if it will work, but I thought it might be worth the effort.
I did notice that HTC removed the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2. I'm sure it is floating around here somewhere. If not, I have it and can send it to you when I get home.
Thanks I have original rom and just released wont work.
dod you see anythign on teh screen? if you do, then hard reset may fix it.
Power off your phone (or take teh battery out). Then press and hold teh call and hang up button while press teh power button. it will enter the hard reset mode. (remember hard reset will erase all the info on the phone and rever tot the stock setting).

wow, thank god i dl'd it when i dl'd the updated rom... and they still have the image of the old rom right beside it... lol
as for op, you can try to enter the bootloader with the following steps
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
and try to flash from there
hope that helps again
Tonight, I was trying to load the RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe and everything seemed to be going smoothly. I hit a few screens that I cannot recall exactly and am embarrassed to say but, I cleared all the cache and storage, thinking that I should do this as I have for other ROMs that I have loaded.
The curious question is always "why were you loading that?" I need to send my phone back to sprint because of a warranty issue. Nothing hardware related, just a screen that is loose. In order to make sure that I have a good device, I wanted to send them an original type device. Now that we have that out of the way, here is where I am.
First off, I am somewhat new but have changed ROMs around a lot; Baked Snack, CyanogenMod, Fresh, etc. I like trying out different versions to see what they do.
I saw that I needed to have my SD formatted to FAT32, so I have already done that.
I also have PC36IMG.zip loaded to my SD root.
The symptoms that I am experiencing are:
1. If I hit the power button while pushing the up volume, i get 3 vibrations and thats it. Nothing ever comes on the screen.
2. If I just turn on the device, I get the recovery screen. Once it finds the PC36IMG.zip, it starts loading and has a blue status bar on the right that goes from bottom to top as it loads.
After that, I am pretty much in the endless loop. If I restart it in recovery after that, it gives me the red triangle with a red bang.
The only thing that it will do is boot into recovery and that is it. It seems pretty well blanked out.
For diagnostic, here is what the screen says when i get into recovery:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0-79.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PAMEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-1.39.00.04.26
April 14 2010,15:41:34
I am beside myself and humbly ask for anyones advice on what a good step would be to get this thing running again.
I thank you for taking time to read my plea.
OK...
1)The first thing I would recommend is to delete the PC36IMG.zip from the sdcard otherwise everytime you boot into the bootloader it will ask to flash it and it will just waste time. There are a number of PC36IMG files around here and they are not all the same. It is a generic name for the RUU and if you try and flash the wrong one it won't work. And, that seems to have happened to you.
2)The white screen you arrive at by holding down the volume down button and tapping the power button is called the bootlader. Take note of that because we'll need it in a minute.
3) Downloaded the stock Sprint unrooted RUU. It needs to be the same version or newer than what's already on your phone but since you are sending it in anyway I recommend just downloading the newest one (3.7.651...) Here is a link:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
4)Download HTC Sync and install it on your computer. You can get it from HTC's site or Sprint or through a google search. It will install the necessary drivers to your computer to see the phone. [EDIT] Here is a link:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
5) Once all the above is done boot the phone into the bootloader (hold volume down and tap the power button while still holding the volume down button). When the menu shows up use the volume keys to navigate to "FASTBOOT" and press the power button to select and enter FASTBOOT. Plug the phone into your PC and run the RUU.exe you just downloaded and it will return it to a completely stock unrooted state.
6) Breathe easy and take phone back to Sprint.
Thanks!!!
Worked like a flippin' charm!!!
Thank you very much for your help. Everything is fine and I am setting it back up to get me through until I can turn it back in.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.. and did I say Thank You!
Been trying to figure out how to use the RUU for two hours... this was the clearest most concise instructions for the process.
Tried the offical froyo update and it got my phone stuck in bootloop...
I was not planning on rooting this device but i will, if i have to, to fix it. I see there are many different ways to root it so i was hoping someone, more familiar with the device, could send me in the right direction to root this phone.
Basically, the device wont boot into android.
i can access the HBoot.
Options:
Fastboot
Recovery
Clear Storage
Simlock
Is there anyway to flash a new rom onto this without being able to boot into the OS?
what do you think? thanks for any help!
Well, after a few hours of messing around with this... I finally posted the [Q] to yall looking for help, then figured it out a few minutes later!
If anyone has this problem in the future:
1. pull battery
2. replace battery and boot device WHILE HOLDING volume down. This will access "Hboot"
3. use the volume down button to hover over option 3 Clear storage
4. select using the power button
5. hit yes using volume up
enjoy your working device with official froyo update.
Disclaimer: you may or may not enjoy official update
That's how it always goes, you get frustrated and desperate enough to ask a question, after hours of trying everything you can think of, reading countless posts, then two minutes after posting your question, the answer falls in your lap. Can't tell you how many times the same has happened to me lol

I successfully rooted my phone yesterday. While trying to get tethering to work, I somehow corrupted the operating system. In one of my more spastic moves, while trying to get things working again, I managed to erase the entire operating system. The only thing I have on the phone now is unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery.
I tried reinstalling the latest Sprint RUU through both adb and SD card. No luck, I get error messages each time. And whenever I try to boot normally, the phone freezes with a white screen and HTC logo until the battery runs out. Any ideas what can be done, or is the phone dead? Thanks for any help.

Download a ROM on your PC (ViperOne is my favorite) and put it onto your external sd card. With your phone off, hold down the power button + vol down. This will take you to fastboot. From there, using the volume keys, navigate to hboot and press the volume button. then navigate to recovery, and press volume. You should be able to flash the ROM from there.
EDIT: If the phone is on, hold power+ vol up to force the phone to reboot (takes 20 seconds or so), then AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK, slide you finger from vol up to vol down. Then follow the steps from there.
Thanks very much. I'm downloading the Venom ROM right now. Just a couple of questions though. Do I have to update the firmware before loading the Venom ROM? If so, can you explain how? Second, from your instructions, I can't tell if I'm installing the ROM directly from bootloader or through TWRP? Thanks again.

Firstly, you should use the reply function on a post if you want a response. That way the person you are responding to will get a notification. I just kinda stumbled back onto this thread.
What was your firmware before? Chances are you'll need new firmware if you are asking. If you go to hboot/fastboot, it will tell you under OS. If it is blank, it will be because your recovery is outdated and we can tell by the hboot number. 3.16=4.4.2 ~3.18=4.4.3 ~ 3.19=4.4.4. The OS number would be more useful though.
Thank you so much. It was a piece of cake, and the Venom ROM is so much nicer than stock. I can't believe I spent hours trying to unsuccessfully flash the stock ROM when I could have upgraded to Venom so easily. And also thank you for your recommendation of the Venom ROM. It keeps what I like about Sense but is a much nicer experience.
