Got my tilt 2 all of yesterday. Had been using a fuze for a year and a half almost. Slapped the hardspl on after downloading the cab needed to get it into spl mode and flashed nrg's newest rom over sd card. All went well.
Tried to flash a new radio, 4.49.25.91. I was a little rusty on this part. I haven't flashed radio's in over 5 months or so. I renamed the file to RHODIMG.nbh and put it on the sd card i use to flash then initiated the flash.
Took all of 15 seconds, the phone restarted and went to the tri color screen but had funky text on top of the normal text saying something is wrong. I rebooted the phone and it went to that screen over and over without me putting it into tricolor. Now beginning to worry i reflashed nrg's rom over it and it seemed to go ok, however now when the phone gets to the AT&T screen it doesn't do anything for 30 second then restarts itself.
I've Tried Hard reseting, Reflashing a new rom, taking out the sd card, flashing over cable, soft reseting, and everything else i can think of.
I JUST thought to flash a different radio and hopefully that does something as i am Stumped and ONLY JUST BOUGHT THE PHONE YESTEREDAY.
Fuze lasted a year and a half, Tilt 2 lasted less than 12 hours.
Please, if you see my error tell me what i am doing wrong !!!!! I want my phone back !
Wow, i figured as a last ditch effort i would flash a new radio over cable and guess what problem solved :]

well i just downloaded and proceeded to flash the latest ROM from clubimate..
everything went normal, upgraded Radio, ExtROM, and CE ROM, then i was asked to unplug the device, and cold boot it, which i did.
after clearing the storage, the device reset, showed the splash screen, the version strings (latest ones) and stayed there.. i kept it for 15 minutes to no avail..
i reflashed again from the bootloader and still the same behaviour
Radio ROM takes 20 minutes to flash, EXT Rom takes less than a minute, then when CE flashing is done, i cold boot.. again it gets stuck on the boot splash screen
i tried a different PC, different cable, older ROM version.. all the same..
any clues as to what may have gone wrong here?
Thanks in advance
me too
Got the same problem and same description of proces
well,
i tried flashing the radio rom again, tried every mtty trick in the book and still got nothing.
eventually i've taken the phone to i-mate service center, and it's been there for a week
they said the motherboard is faulty and needs replacement, i'm suspecting the flash chip has gone bad.
now i'm not sure if this applies to all of us here with the same symptoms after the upgrade, but i really find it strange that after all these years with i-mate devices, upgrading, downgrading and flashing different roms, half the forum hits the same dead-end when a new update comes out from i-mate and they try to flash it on.
something is strange about the latest rom. i just wish i knew what it is

I now have the same problem as well. I however received this through the trials and tribulations of getting my JJ into the damn bootloader...
Hello all. I've been flashing roms for ages and have ran into a strange problem. My buddy has an 8525 that I flashed a new rom onto (albeit ages ago. I think its one of CRCs older roms). I upgraded to Olipro 2.10 HardSPL and whatnot beforehand.
Now he started having an issue where he would see "No GSM". It would still boot windows. He gave me the phone to work on and I thought, hmm radio prob. So I looked on the Unbrick Your Hermes thread and found that I just need to flash the radio. I started the flash procedure as usual, but it just sat there at 0% for ages. I finally gave up and pulled the battery and tried to follow the recover procedure, but it didn't really work out as planned.
Now the phone just turns on to the tri color screen and says "USB" when its plugged in to the computer. The computer finds the device, but of course I can't get to it with activesync.
I tried to flash hardspl again and other stuff but the phone just sits there in the bootloader. I don't really know what the next step is and I don't want to make it worse, so I thought I'd just come and ask.
I will mention that I haven't worked with the low level stuff yet, nor do I completely understand all of the acronyms on the unbrick your hermes page.
Thanks all.
Just flash your phone(when in 3color mode-usb)with other radio or rom mate.
That is what i have done 3-4 days ago.
Did you try to flash from the SD card? I've had success that way when I was stuck.
flash using the sd card
paste the .nbh image an your card without creating any folder and rename it hermimg.nbh
the put the card into your phone and flash it directly from tri color mode
....
I tried the HERMIMG.nbh thing. I'm sure i've done it right, but nothing. When I turn the phone on by holding power/ok and pressing reset, it flashes "loading" for 1/1000 of a second and then just sticks on the tri color screen.
hi all,
i'm hoping someone might have some suggestions to fix my x50v. i have been given an x50v that wont turn on, so far ive
- checked the backup batt holds charge
- lock switch works
- battery cover switch works
- reflashed wm2003se rom
- reflashed wm5 A02 bootloader and rom
the reflashes will complete sucessfully but when i do the hard reset after flashing the rom it is still dead. the only key combination that will show anything on the screen is wifi+power+reset and the bootloader comes up.
does anyone have any suggestions? I've searched the forum for days looking for things to try, seems like a common problem.
bump... anyone???
Not sure if you've still got the same problem but it sounds identical to what happened to me after flashing WM5 A02. I'd successfully gone from WM2003 > WM5 A01 but after A02 it just wouldn't boot. I could still get to the bootloader but no amount of flashing got it working.
Eventually I tried flashing LennySh WM6.1 A09 just see if it would work, it didn't. Still same problem. So I gave it up for dead. Then a few weeks later, I came back to it, the charge had gone completely. Plugged it in, let it charge a bit, switched it on and bam, it began the boot process and worked just fine.
I've no idea why, I was shocked, maybe something to do with the battery dying completely. But I'd done multiple hard resets, recovery attempts all with no luck. So why it just started working I don't know. But if you've left it in a cupboard somewhere and given up on it, it might just be worth giving another try!
Got an energy rom cooked on my rhodium with slide2unlock and it wont bloody unlock
is there anything i can do ive turned it off/on several times tried to enter code with keyboard and onscreen doesnt work
i havent forgot the code as ive been using it for months, it ocasiionally does this but a reset normally sorts it...
anything i can do other than full complete reset?
Wow I thought I was the only one who had this happen to me. I literally tried everything to fix it. Countless soft resets. Mine happened at low battery so I tried charging it all the way back up... no luck. I'm sorry to say but the only thing you can do is probably reflash. Because since I couldn't even get into my phone, it wouldn't let me hard reset. So I pulled out the battery, put it back in. Went into bootloader and flashed through SD Card. That whole situation pissed me off so badly, so inconvenient. Now I just always keep the .nbh file on my sd card just incase it happens again so I can just reflash from wherever I am. But maybe you'll have better luck and it'll start working again.
i ask as i updated my radio last night for the 1st time in aaages and the phone turns on etc as you'd expect. since then though (this morning) i've had random reboots. i've got recovery images of different roms and both do the same.
i tried a clean install of a new rom and it reboots while installing, i try to install again and this time it gets to the "press on the droid" option when it reboots again.

Weird..did u try flashing a different radio?
not yet. in work for a while longer. the only other thing i can see it being, is the kernels in the rom i'm using now, using too little voltage.
might try flashing a different kernel
I have had this problem before & as has been suggested a different radio did solve the problem. Hope it turns out something as simple for you.
As a last resort try wiping and flashing an RUU, that will replace the kernel, radio and rom
yea, had a thought on doing that too. grabbed 2 of em (not sure which i need) but today it's not rebooting
ok, somethings gone real wrong now. cant do anything more than go into fastboot. recovery causes a reboot with 7 vibrations on the boot screen and it wont go past it. i can go into fastboot/fastboot usb and that's it.
how do you flash a ruu now? i found a guide but it refers to downloading .zip images and putting em on an sdcard? i could only see .exe ruus
Just run the ruu exe while your phone is connected in fastboot. Do you have the ruu that was originally on the phone?

trying it now. got the ruu downloaded. tried it before but got some funky errors
phones doing some funky stuff at the mo. if this works (i hope) then i can use unrevoked and then alpharev to get root/s-off later again yea?
ta mate
Yeah, you can do that.

coolio.
worked. now booted up. wonder what the hell happened though!
Dunno but I guess you're relieved

i am, but tried 2 pcs and my netbook, installed usb drivers off their site but just cant get unrevoked working for my desire.
off to try the old goldcard method
odd, even the goldcard tool didnt work. did a year or so ago when i 1st rooted. had to go old school on this thing.
edit
and after several tries, alpharev doesnt work
cant make the phone reboot when it needs to. worked last time with opendesire with no probs at all. no joy with oxygen though, or the default sense rom
ok, thanks to the forum, i've got opendesire installed now and i think somethings up. after an install (clean) it locked. hard. 3 finger salute didn't reboot the phone and had to pull the batt out (other roms caused reboots instead). i decided to take the sim out - and nothing. no more locks/reboots at all.
i'm gonna try the sim in another phone tonight and see what happens.
something very off with this phone.

I had this problem after I flashed a radio. I ended up sending it back to O2 due to a corrupt radio/cpu stack on the actual device.
