latest ActiveSync installed? Removed battery?
Had this issue Yesterday. Even if You update the ROM, You will still stay in bootloader (for me it was like this). Do another update, this time only the radio (so delete ms_.nbf and nk.nbf from the directory from where You run your upgrade utility). After this (another 20 minutes) You should be able to have result after the cold-reset.
On the bootloader there is a small difference. Upgrading the ROM shows how far he actually is (in percentage), whilst upgrading Radio it does not show You the percentage, only that he is busy.
Ruud
Just try the update without any insert card (sd and sim), and a wonder will happen!
Teja
- connect the JASJAR with your PC using the USB cable. Activesync will NOT start and the XP says does recognize it
- do a HardReset (press the 2 (-) in the keyboard and softrest it all at the same time. Hardreset screen appears (DON'T press 0 or X..)
- start the update program. Please use a good upgrade like the latest from imate ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
- start the update and when it's looking to check the version of the JASJAR softreset it
It should start to reflash it without problems.
I hope it helps...
Hi guys.
I was using the installed the FInixNOver 3.0.1 ROM onto my SPV M700 and it was great. I've had it for about 2 weeks without any problems.
Last night I looked at my phone, only to realise that it was completley dead. This didnt shock me to much because the battery was running low, and i decided to let it die completley before recharging it again.
I charged my phone overnight and switched it on this morning, but the phone would freeze at the 'FInixNOver' splash screen (the numbers at the bottom of the screen would appear overlaying the splash, but the phone wouldnt go pass this point).
The only way to turn off the phone from this state is to eject the battery. I have tried removing the sim card, turning it back on in as many ways as possible but to no avail. I am able to get to the TriColor test screen (im running IPL-0.50 / SPL-1.30.Olipro) but with all the custom roms available, they all use the ROMUpdateUtility which requires the phone to have established an activesync connection initially (but this would mean my phone would have to be 'on completley' - so this is catch 22.)
For the record, my phone/battery died while my wired handsfree was attached (dunno if thats of any interest to anyone or the rom baker).
But it looks like the only way i'll be able to flash my phone is by finding a way to install the .nbh file without using the RUU method. Because I can put my phone into test mode manually.... any help or guidence would be very much appriciated.
Thanks.
Ok can you get it into bootloader? power/camera buttons and reset?
sorry didnt read fully.
right get your device into bootloader first,
then open active sync (are you using xp)
then open connection settings and disable usb connection,
put your device into bootloader mode, then run any rom upgrade, i prefer the WM6.1 pdaviets from HERE (Username: PDAVIET / Password: pdaviet)
Your pda does not need active sync with ruu's, so no catch 22. if you turn off usb connection in active sync, you can still run ruu and it will be recognised, unless you are using vista, where you need to change your HTC SYNC drivers.
Thanks for your quick response...
Yes I can get into boot loader using the power and camera buttons (or holding the power and camera buttons when resetting the phone)...
When the phone is in boot loader mode, active sync doesnt even detect the phone anyway, but nevertheless, I have followed your instructions and disabled the USB Connection. (BTW, yes i am using XP)
The phone is still in boot loader mode, so now i try and execute the ROMUpdateUtility.exe and go through the steps, at the 1st step i tick the tickbox and click next, and the 2nd step i tick the tickbox and click next. (this step says DO NOT enter the bootloader manually? - but i have havent i?) anyway, when i click next, it says... "Verifying the information on your Trinity... Please Wait..." for about 10 seconds, and then i get a message "ERROR [260] : CONNECTION"
What am i doing wrong?
Huumm.. why dont you flash your phone throw the sd card??

I would recommend this option above, to be safe, i usually get them error messages when the battery is below 50% or sometimes i try it again and it works. it does state do not manually enter bootloader but i always do it this way.
also make sure active sync is not still running in taskmanager under the alais: wcescomm.exe and WCESMGR.exe, end them both.
I've just tried using an official ROM, but the problem still occurs with the 'connecting'. It doesnt seem that the computer picks up a connection to the phone whatsoever.
Should i be concerned that at the bottom of the bootloader screen it says "serial", is this correct?
Im starting to get annoyed now.
Bye,
the bottom of the sreen mast say "usb" not serial.
it seems there is a problem, if it states serial. as it should say usb. try THIS
Seems like the problem was that my USB lead was loose and made a bad connection, hence why the bootloader showed 'serial' and not 'usb'... as soon as i wiggled it and heard the 'connection noise' in windows, i knew i was good to go, and so using the RUU worked fine to reupdate my phones ROM.
Thanks for your help.
My only question is that why did it happen in the first plave?
WIZZKID - I just saw your post here now. I have to tell you that I also saw "SERIAL" at the bottom of the bootloader screen and not "USB". As I said I returned it to get another phone but maybe I will try something else for now instead of a P3600i. I will monitor your thread to see how it turns out for your phone, because it seems that we have the same problem.
if you see "serial" instead "usb" your problem is in the usb cable, usb port from your computer or in the usb connector from your trinity!!!!!
I was having the same problem that you have!! my problem was from my usb from mine trinity!! see if the conector is at good conditions !!!
Well as some of you may know, I got my Trinity replaced for sticking at the WM splash screen after a few days. This second one - I have had it ONE night - and the same thing has happened with incomplete booting. This time I have been trying all night to flash the phone to an official ROM, but I cannot do it (apparently) because I can't establish a connection via ActiveSync. When I stick the data cable in while in bootloader I see SERIAL replaced by USB and when I try the flash I get a "270" error (cannot connect to phone) and the phone re-boots to the sticking plash screen. What should I do now?
ladies and gentlemen...
we've got a lot of mixed messages in this thread.. please make sure you're posting the right thing. no need to disable USB when manually going in to bootloader to flash (at least in xp).. Also, you can ignore the part of the RUU that says 'do not manually enter bootloader' (you should really read the guide on my site)
foxuniform- can you please give some details..
1) are you running xp or vista
2) have you flashed hard-spl? if so what version?
in the mean time, try a couple of things.. first, flash hard-spl (even if you already have it, but from the sound of it i think you don't have it on your device).. if that works, try to flash an official ROM. Can also try to use splxploit, then flash hard-spl, and then flash official ROM (there's a guide on my site if you're unsure)
please post your results
*edit*
here are the steps for SD card upgrade, but i HIGHLY recommend flashing Hard-spl first..
try to do it from SD card. how?
Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract (http://www.cabextract.org.uk/) .
Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
Make sure your SD has FAT32 and has no label. There have been reports that if SD has a label the bootloader can not access the TRINIMG.nbh
racerx_ I have carefully read your response and suggestions, and thanks for your expertise input on the matter. I am fairly new to this stuff so read below carefully as you may find errors in the way I tried to go about doing what I was hoping to accomplish.
First let me answer your questions. I am running Windows XP. The phone is in it's completely natural state in that I have not flashed it in any way. The ROM I was TRYING to flash to the phone while it was not starting properly (this is where I manually entered bootloader) is an official ROM from the HTC website (please note everyone that when I registered my P3600i on the HTC website it came up as the Dopod 810). Anyway, that never worked. ActiveSync never detected the phone (and I guess that's the reason I could not do anything as far as flashing goes). I HARD-RESET my P3600i and it booted normally. I re-installed all the stuff I had on it, from memory card to various .cab files, and the phone is working beautifully thus far. I will report if anything funny happens again.
I have to ask you racerx_, if I CAN flash hard-SPL on the P3600i according to the lovely guide on www.trinityguides.info. I have been of the opinion that things don't work for the P3600i as they did for the P3600, and that has been echoed by many P3600i users on this forum who are ready and waiting to try out some cooked ROMs (myself included).
For the sake of record, my phone is running rom version 3.00.707.17 and radio version 1.46.00.11. I patiently await your response.
woaaahhh..
i didn't notice the 'i' in your previous post... yeah, as far as i know, these ROMs are not flashable on your p3600i.. sorry..
**correct me if i'm wrong somebody**
Yeah I kinda thought that would be your response. By the way - do you think that this phenomenon of sticking at the Windows Mobile splash screen (both the P3600 and P3600i models apparently) has anything to do with something users do with the devices, or you figure it's an inherent software glitch of some sort? I am wondering if I should try a different model or hold on to my P3600i? Hope it's not something that'll happen again - I fly for a living and it's not gonna be good to have the thing screw up on me away from base - I really count on it for everything from casual keeping in touch on Messenger to viewing my work schedule. I love the Trinity though - it's one of my all-time favourite HTC phones.
hmm... i don't think its inherent in the Trinity.. (not a hardware issue.. in my opinion)
its been a while since i followed the posts on it, but always seems to be software related.. sometimes ROM-specific problem. Personally, i've probably flashed as many ROMs as anyone and the only time i ever encountered problems was with the official HTC WM6 ha.. go figure.. I think ppl did find that hard resets before and after flashing are helpful as well..
i love my trinity, and there's not much else on the market to make me want to trade it in (is it just me, or have pda's kind of stopped getting cooler).. i'd stick with it..
Hi,
I'm using Artemis with one of Tom's ROM. The device was working well. But today suddenly the device won't start up - it is locked at the startup screen showing the SPL, IPL etc. I can enter the bootloader.
Can anybody tell me how to flash the ROM at this stage?
Flash from bootloader
Hi!
Please download an official rom and keep pressed the Power and Record buttons. You will see a screen with 3 colors (red green blue). Connect the USB cable and wait for Activesync. After this start the original rom flasher and follow the instructions. If you can start the Windows, you should flash the USPL again and you can flash cooked roms. If you flashed a new one, i think you should also upgrade the radio rom.
Sorry for my English
well i'll give it a try.
BTW will activesync work if the phone is not booting up?
sure it will, but make sure you have the only phone pluged in, nothing else, and disable all firewalls and antivriuses.
Good luck
i flashed with htc official rom and it worked first. after soft resetting a few time (due to program installation) the phone again back to earlier state.
it is showing:
ipl 3.13.0001
spl 3.13.0000
gsm 2.94.90
os 3.13.0.0
and stuck at this screen.
i tried to update the phone again with the same rom - but i'm getting error 270.
do i need to unlock cid before flashing?
but i can't use the uspl tool as i can't connect to activesync.
pls help.
make sure the battery is fully charged again.
Restart your PC, isbale ll antivirus and firewalls
Better if flashing in XP PC
put PPC in Boating status
Flash Shipped ROM
Specify which software caused you the trouble and do not install it again
CID unlock PPC
Flash any cooked ROM.
once i flashed the phone with the shipped rom successfully. The phone was CID unlocked then. But now when I try to flash the shipped again i'm getting an error message (error 292 or something - stating-invalid vendor id)

chance are you have stuffed your bootloader...
start from scratch again by running uspl:

USPL needs activesync running. Can you tell me how to run USPL when I can't boot into windows?
well,
its been some time, but i am pretty sure uspl puts your device into bootloader and operates from there...
have you tried setting it into bootloader, connecting via usb and simply starting uspl?
running a normal setup-routine, there is no need to start it from wm either-simply put it into bootloader and start setup!
greetz
Well i tried that. But it seems that USPL doesn't work without activesync.
i've also tried flashing with SD card, but after a brief "Checking SD card content" message the phone goes back to bootloader.
Someone helpppp pls.
are u sure your sd card is correctly configured, according to the wiki entry- especially part "if above fails" ...?
if all steps fail, assumed you performed them correctly, you might try taking out battery and leave the device fully without power overnight...and restart it the next morning
I've used a 512MB SD card - formatted it- and copied the OS file as ARTEIMG.nbh - put the sd card in the phone and started the phone in bootloader mode.
I think there is nothing more to do.
I can enter the bootloader, connect the phone to PC in USB mode. So, I hope that my phone is not bricked.
But how to revive it?
if you are in bootloader, i dont see why you shouldnt be able to flash!!!
try another sd-card, use another xp computer, exchange the usb cable...
yust to be certain: have you left out battery over-night?
...and what are the details stated on boot-loader screen (numbers)?
oh, and I get the feeling you are not working exactly as told:
in your PC right-click on Computer, then select Manage
Select Disk Manager and then delete existing partition
create a new partition with max size 256MB
format this partition in FAT32

...i dont have my micro-sd-card-adapter at hand atm., but there sure will be possibilities formatting your sd card accordingly...try administrative tools/computermanagement/storage/diskmanagement under xp, boot your pc with a diskpartitioner like acronis disk director...
i can only advise you to keep trying...but as long as you can not say for sure sd-card-flashing is working correctly, i wouldnt give up...
and as far as flshing bootloader via usb/activesync goes, i can only say i once screwed my device due to insufficiant battery power during sd-card-flashing and thought it was bricked just at the point you are stuck now!!! - totally resetting it with the power-oiut-method, i.e. battery out overnight, revived it!!!
than agin i sure as hell did everything the way it was ment o be done...and nothing worked until i switched to another pc/ usb-cable!!!
so, to sum it up, DONT GIVE UP!!! bootloader is showing...so there must be a way to get this to work...

Helo dear friends.
Well I just wanted to get some Hebrew in my Hero.
I have the Orange hero in Spain. Upgraded to official rom - 2.73.61.5, worked fine.
Now i am trying to downgrade it, so i can root it, so i can add all the fun stuff (including hebrew).
Did the gold card, since i understood that this hero is CID locked. (and maybe i am wrong). Then failed few times with error 140 when tried the 1.76.405.6 and 1.76.405.1 rom downloads. Then tried to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 rom as someone suggested here... and the process started happily, downloaded Splash1 ok, system ok, userdata ok, boot ok, bootloader ok, then GOT STUCK ON "Radio-V2 - updating" (at about 85%.. froze!)
(I attached a picture).
This happened few times, sometimes never even started to download, was just froze at the beginning of the process with: "zip header checking..."
So every-time this happened i had to disconnect it, pull the battery out or something, and try again. (I also found out that for some-reason things moved forward when restarting windows which by the way, works on parallels, mac ...)
Now the hero is stuck on the white error screen i guess, pictures attached.
Mmmm... hope someone can suggest something... straight and to the point, i feel i am going circles will appreciate allot.
Thanks in advance
Cheers!
First off ... KEEP THE PHONE PLUGGED IN! (So the battery doesn't die... If i remember right... fastboot chews through battery)
Next.. how long has it been stuck?
Well, first time for 30 minutes of no movement, then at the rest of the attempts i kept losing my patient each 20-30 minutes... in a process that might take 10?
yeah the battery ran out once..
thanks.
Trying again, now it's stuck on "system - updating". 20 minutes.
Please help.. someone?
Should i try another rom? any suggestion for Orange Spain?
Someone experienced problems via Parallels ?
Parallels as in your trying this from a VM? I would bet thats your problem! While it techincally shouldn't make a difference... I would try with real PC!
yes, virtual machine...
Ok, and that PC, should it have all the drivers for the phone? i mean now that the hero is stuck, would a different computer recognize it?
I should just download the rom to the computer and try to install it?
thanks.
You'll want to install the USB drivers (The HTC Sync download from htc.com likely has these included...)
If the VM still see's it - any PC with the drivers installed correctly will see it.
If you get the the custom recovery image flahed, you'll be able to do everything from your mac after that...
ho really? can you elaborate a bit on that? start with: " custom recovery image flahed"
Thanks.

Thanks. and this i do after i downgrade successfully the rom (with lets say a proper PC?) ?
Do i need to root after downgrading?
As far as I remember - Yes - you will need to root the phone, then:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/recovery.img (If this fails with file not found dont worry about it)
I seem to remember needing those when I rooted my hero ...
Thanks kiall, resolved it at the end, without downgrade, no PC, just pushed the Recovery to the formatted sdcard, flashed it and the modaco rom and then radio and hebrew fonts, all is ok now...
Thanks for you time.
I am using the 2.31 unlocker and I am attempting to flash the sprint update 6.1 rom from the sprintpcs web site.... and my phone keeps stopping at 29% and freezes there....
The ROM on my lap top has a recover procedure ... which I have followed several times .... with no luck
OH! and thanx to TMZ, for saving my phone last time around!
thanx
Kevie
So, I just flashed from the boot screen, this ROM "Sprint Vogue ROM. exe and what happened is .... runs up to 29% then gives me a ' 262 ' error message.
When I run the un-locker it seems to run that rom correctly also, I can load
23506_v4 ROM
this rom seems to load fine, then when it runs it continually will RESTART the Phone... ???
There have been times when this ROM ran for a while and I thought it was because of battery issues...??? because when I would take it off either the SYNC or the Charger... the RESTARTing would begin.... again I have NO IDEA... what is going on here....
Seems to me that I have not WIPED the Phone clean enough for these roms
I have also tried...
updater_htc_touch
via the sprint web site to the HTC website
same thing it stops at 29%
I thank anyONE in ADVANCE
Have you only tried flashing USB?
What happens when you try to flash the roms via the micro-sd card?
These phones usually came with a little 512MB card.
Format that card Fat-32, 1024 bytes/sector.
If you open up the Sprint.exe rom upgrader (with 7-zip), you'll see a folder.
Inside there are 2 .nbh files. 1.nbh I believe updates the system and phone.
The 2.nbh is the main rom file that flashes all the software.
Copy the 2.nbh file to the 512MB micro-sd and name it voguimg.nbh
Soft-reset until you see the 2.31 coke loader, and it should auto-detect
the voguimg.nbh file and say 'press power' to start flashing.
Best suggestion I can offer - micro-sd flashing is MUCH faster and
has much much less chance of connection errors over the usb cable.
OK I will try that... I had done that already... meaning I have the file on my MICRO SD already but the post I think I learned it from was all about capital letters in the name ... I have renamed it and here we go....???
Doesn't matter the lower-case or upper case for the file name.
it just has to be called: voguimg.nbh or VOGUIMG.NBH
Most important is the name.
Could also try a hard reset first:
Send, End, and push in the reset button, then follow the screen directions.
Once the hard reset is completed, pull out the battery for a minute,
then put the battery back in, and when you power on the phone, immediately
do the soft-reset to get to the tri-color coke screen and then try and
re-flash one of those images.

Might also try the NFSFan 1.12 Sprint image in that post.
That one is based off the original 6.1 Sprint download.
seems like you may have the wrong sprint rom..
Even if your phone was locked you should be able to load the sprint update with no problem..
but the fact that you can load a custom rom tells me your phone is most likely unlocked, the resetting is most likely due to the fact that you have a non-gps radio from not having the sprint update.
go to the htc website, then to support, touch (sprint), downloads then finally click the download link on the rev a 6.1 update
After you flash that update rom you should be able to load any custom 6.1 or 6.5 rom
hope that helps
I've had the same problem in the past. Flash a Sprint WinMo6 ROM and unlock it to 2.31. Then you'll be able to flash a Sprint 6.1 ROM. Hope this helps
I had the same exact problem once and it was because I had a bad battery. Changing the battery should resolve your issue.
