Need Urgent Help Please

Alright, I unlocked my htc vogue with the coke unlocker, everything went dandy, but then instead of upgrading the rom to sprints updated one I went straight to upgrading to 6.5 without updating my radio to 3 something something. Now whenever I boot my phone it just goes to the htc smart mobility screen, puts the little red letters on the bottom, and then returns to the htc smart mobility screen. Sorry if I'm noobish but i've been trying ot get into the tri colored screen for a while and thats not working, is there anything else I could do?

Same exact thing happened to me last night...here's what I did:
1. Download the 3.42.30 Radio ROM from post #17 in this thread; http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35254&highlight=vogue+radio&page=2
2. Copy the VOGUIMG.nbh file on to a formated non HD MicroSD memory card
3. Put the card in the phone and press power+camera+reset, release the reset and continue to hold camera+power until it goes to a gray screen that says "checking"
4. Follow on screen instructions
Done

Copy all of your files from your mempry card to your PC temporarily, then format your card...just to be safe. Once you fix your phone, make sure you remove the VOGUIMG.nbh file from the card and copy your files back on to it.

Nice! It's a ***** when you thing you bricked your phone, but there's always a way out of it. Enjoy.

dash stuck on boot up

awh. my dash is stuck on the boot up screen. i tried flashing and coldboot multiple times. now i nee help baaaad :C

Did you go through Ook's brilliant tutorial for unbricking?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540492

If its stuck booting, chances are its not bricked, but corrupted. Hold the 2 soft keys and press the power for 3 seconds. It should boot the recovery process, and reset it to default settings.

see i already did that. tons of times. i even flashed the non cooked rom many many times. and i dont have another htc device to gold card with.

wat does it do? does it just freeze or does it keep turning on?

it just freezes at the start up screen

Do you have a card reader? If not, you can use other phone (not excalibur) to format and create the gold card. I've used a Motorola V3xx to do all of these, so just get other phone that uses sd card and you can use it to create your gold card.

i thought i need a window mobile device to do active sync wit

try to plug the use cable in to you pc.. then take the battery out of your phone for 10-15 seconds then put it back in but dont power the phone.. hold the camera button and plug the usb in you phone..it should take you to the tricolor bootloader then run the stock rom...once it finnish then go thru the steps to reflash...let me know if that helps

um.. running the stock rom is the same thing as reflashin. and i told yall before i did that many times. but ima see if i can use another fone to see if i can still make the goldcard

Try a hard reset and see if that helps out.

Stuck at the "Touch Pro2" Screen after ROM Flash

Well I just flashed my first ROM and thought I followed everything to the letter. I ran HardSPL, it completed, and I verified that it was done in the bootloader screen. Then I downloaded Energy 23544 with MaxManila Mar 09. Sync'ed with WMDC, Ran Custom RUU, It says it flashed ok. Now it just sits at the "Toch Pro2" startup screen. Can anyone tell me what I missed and if there is anyway to fix it?
Thanks

Need more info like who is your carrier...the problem you are describing sounds like you flashed a gsm rom (t-mobile and at&t) to a cdma phone (sprint and verizon). If that is the case you need to flash back to stock rom then grab the energy rom from here for the CDMA phone
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489
hopefully you did not brick your phone...good luck

Seems like you've done everything right. Just note that first time flashes usually take a while to load on the first boot before customization procedures.
If the phone doesn't budge, try a hard reset. To Hard reset your phone, Turn it completely off (remove and reinsert battery if needed), then hold down the Send and End and the power button. It should load the SPL and then ask you if you want to Hard Reset, press the Volume Up key to accept.
If the Hard Reset doesn't work, download a stock ROM, and flash that via the bootloader. If the stock ROM works, try to flash the Energy ROM again.
To enter the bootloader, Hold down the Volume Down key while turning on your phone. or hold it down and while pressing the reset button.
Hopefully you can get this sorted.

That could be the case, but he sucessfully flashed a HardSPL, so he could just enter the bootloader and flash his stock ROM to continue operation of the phone.
When he responds about who his carrier is and which TP2 he has, we'll go from there.

I am on US Cellular and I did use the GSM ROM for some stupid reason. I can load the bootloader screen and am downloading the correct ROM now. I assume I then follow the load from microSD card procedures?
Thanks guys
You are lifesavers if I can get past this

Yes, with HardSPL you can flash the nbh file from the microSD card, but I recommend you flash using your PC via USB. It would save you the hassle of trying to find and extract the NBH.

Well it wouldn't update via the PC because it wouldn't connect. I did find and rename the nbh file and put it on another sd card. It is updating now with the stock ROM. Then its back to the drawing board if this works.
Thank - I'll update and give other noob idiots my story when all is good. (still having fingers crossed)

Hmm... HardSPL usually enters USB mode when the bootloader is run and a USB cord is connected, but I'm glad you got your phone flashing either way. Good luck.

My problem was definitely the wrong ROM version.
For anyone else as dumb as me, this is what my problem was...
Everything seemed to flash ok originally (the program said it was successful). Then it restarted and the phone would not go past the "Touch Pro2) screen. There was nothing else on the screen.
and here is what I did to fix it...
Got another SD card and formated to fat32.
Extracted the proper original ROM.exe file using winrar.
Placed the .ngh file in the root of the card with the name rhodimg.nbh
Insert the sd card in the phone and restart into the bootloader screen
When it asked if I wanted to load the ROM, I of course did what it said
When it finished I removed the sd card and pressed the reset button
It took a while but everything loaded ok.
Then I started over with the ROM I wanted (this time using the correct CDMA version). Again everything seemed to go ok. This time when it rebooted, on the "touch pro2" boot screen there was additional text at the bottom indicating the cooked ROM I installed.
Thank you to everyone who helped me understand what I did wrong and I hope noone else is as dumb as me, but if you are there is hope.

No biggie, you're very welcome. We all are noobs at some point of our existance and we all make mistakes. I'm just glad you were able to learn from yours and recover, in addition to pointing out to others what went wrong. Have fun with your new ROM.

But I would prefer a working phone any day

I do have to say that I am drooling at the possibilities of this phone. Just have to take things a little slower.

I did the same thing basically. I tried a gsm rom on my us cellular phone. didnt know that they conflict at that point.
what rom do i need to flash to get my phone back?

Here is a good place to start...

I am very happy with the Energy Rom's, but that is a whole different discussion.
Or you can go back to the stock ROM which you can get at ppcgeeks also.

hit the red reset button on the right. mine did that also, and that is what I did, and it came back up without a problem.

STOCK ROM
FYI, the stock ROM, original ship ROM can be found here at the htc mobile phone product support page. It comes as an *.exe and you double click once in the bootloader screen and it works
I had a problem where I flashed with a new rom, and it went to the white screen. I had to flash with the original ROM and it came back to life! yay.

Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.

Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!

as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.

It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.

Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..

I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!

reformat your SD card , that should fix it !

Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..

HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?

you have to use recovery option in the bootloader

Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.

hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)

Hi I've the same issue as biskut here. The only deference is that have 2.2.

Similar problem
Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

[Q] Stuck at white HTC Screen

I figured this was a long shot, but one of my RHOD's is stuck on the white HTC screen (the first one that pops up after booting).
Now I can get to the tri-color boot screen. I have been able to flash via USB and SD, however no matter what I flash it fails.
The device does have hSPL applied. I have tried flashing EnergyROM, just radio's, stock ROM's (which includes radio, ROM, etc... all of it!), task29... nothing seems to actually fix it. Every time it just goes back to hanging on that white HTC logo.
So any ideas? Anything I haven't tried? I am hoping it's not bricked since it does turn on, and I can flash... Thanks!!

Does it give any errors when it fails to flash? Have you tried another SD card? Have you formatted your SD card with the HP tool? Have you tried sacrificing a demon goat? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQbxmXilRew
Your nand memory might be toast if even task 29 fails. All it does is wipe the nand memory.

This is a real longshot, but it looks like you have tried everything else. Can you re-flash HardSPL? Or maybe try to downgrade hSPL and then upgrade again?
I really want to help (even if giving arrrghhh advice seems so backwards!) but can't think of much else you haven't tried.
You have CDMA right? so no SIM... On my GSM I would try to boot with SIM inserted to see if it makes any difference...
Sorry, if I have any major brain waves I'll be back.
Oh! Can you flash a NAND Android ROM? I read about some people with HD2's that could flash android/WP7 but everytime they flashed WM it would freeze at the white screen.

This was a tester phone, wasn't even used that much... But I guess the guy before me could've burned it out.
Also, I see I wasn't so clear in my OP. No errors, everything flashes fine. task29 flashes fine. ROM's flash fine. Radio's as well... everything seems great until you try to boot the damned thing.
Not sure what vid that is, I'll check it out later. Thanks.

Well thanks for at least tryin . I haven't tried messing with hSPL, but I guess since that's now semi-open I can try without much risk of not being able to go back (used to be a big issue...)
I do have CDMA, but these are 'world-phones'. So they have SIM slots... that's a good point, maybe I should try without the SIM - as my 'main' TP2 doesn't have a SIM and has never had such problems. This one came with the Sprint SIM which I've never used either, but for whatever reason I've kept it around .
I'm pretty sure I tried putting LK on the phone, and the same result. It's been a while since I've tried to flash anything on it tho, so perhaps I'll try that again.
Thanks for the advice, I'll get back to you .

Does it just sit at the loading screen or will it not go beyond the tricolor screen?
It's a long shot, but I have a flash that does nothing but change the white htc screen to something else. It is small. Might be worth a try to see if that works.
I have heard of the sim chips causing issues, but have never experienced them myself. No harm in pulling it out of there.

Yea, when I task29'd I think it changed this screen to say Touch Pro2 at one point... Stock ROM flash changed it back to the white HTC logo.
I can always make it past the tri-color screen - however, I never get past the 'initial' boot screen. I'll try just flashing that just for grins tonight.

What I posted will not put any OS on there. It will let you see if you are writing to the nand at all though. So if you see a new boot flash screen, you are getting somewhere.

... another longshot. After you flash a rom etc. and it fails to boot perform a hardware hard-reset. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK, END and POWER then release and press VOL UP when you see the message.
I don't know, this probably won't help since I can't see anything surviving Task29... but I'm grasping at straws at this point...

OK, sorry that took so long... I've been slackin
Flashed the new boot logo, looks cool... but still frozen. Then I flashed EnergyROM, no dice. Did a hard reset (thanks Caldair forgot about that key sequence)... still no dice.
I guess I'll try relocking, can't hurt at this point.
Edit - wow, relocking seems to have done the trick. It downgraded the bootloader, and then the stock ROM updated it. I am now getting the red text at the bottom of the first boot screen... It seems to be proceeding to WinMo! Unbricked!!

Yeah Man! Congrats! Seeing that ^^ has got to be one of the sweetest feelings, resurrecting a device that you've written off as dead. Love it!
