Hello,
I saw on the htc site that an update for the Sprint HTC touch was available so i downloaded it and tried to load it on my phone.
It took a few tries to get it to connect and when it finally did it said there was an invalid command.
I thought it was because i upgraded my phone earlier to the titan rom and radio to get gps and rev a so i put it back to the factory settings.
Everything was normal.
I then tried the official htc software update again and it worked until it got to 10% and it said invalid command again and exited.
It is now stuck on the boot load screen and remains that way after numerous soft/hard resets.
To "unbrick" your phone, follow the steps in this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906
In a nutshell:
You'll have to revert back to your carrier's ROM (by carrier, I mean a genuine, signed ROM) by extracting the ROM's exe file and renaming the .nbh file inside the archive to VOGUIMG.nbh.
Then, remove your Micro SD card and use a card reader** to put that file into the root - ensure that the card is formatted as FAT32 and that the card is not an SDHC (meaning any card that is 4GB+().
**card reader or any other device that has a microSD slot that operates as a USB mass storage device - I did the same procedure with an MP3 player... **
Insert the card and reboot the phone, it should go into the bootloader and update automatically.
Good luck
If you can get to the boot screen, chances are it is not bricked
Just download the original ROM and flash to that. Make sure to NOT use a virtual machine! You can only run the .EXE file in Windows XP natively, not in software such as Parallels or VM Ware.

If you are getting a communication error while trying to flash from the sd card, you've got some very serious problems. More than likely, if you are flashing from sd and get an error, it is probably not a communications error.
What letters are on the three-color boot-loader screen?

This is a pretty simple fix. You need to stick your MicroSD card into your PC via card reader. Format the card to fat32. Re-Formating is important because even if your card is already fat 32 sometimes it still won't work until your re-format it. Then copy "any" compatible Vogue RUU file over to your card. Rename the file "VOGUIMG" without the quotes and stick it back into your phone in the root directory.. Hold down the power and camera button and reset the phone with the stylus. Once inside the bootloader follow the instructions on your screen. Reset when you are done and you should be good. THIS IS ASSUMING YOUR PHONE IS ALREADY UNLOCKED. If you go back to Sprint and they see why your phone isn't booting they may not honor your warranty.
GOOD LUCK....

Let me clarify. Use any "Compatible" "Custom" Rom. I don't believe the Sprint Release off the HTC site will work with what you are doing. You need a Custom Rom.
I would suggest you visit: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59
and just pick one and follow the instructions I gave eariler. I don't believe you can do this type of upgrade with the Sprint ROM you need to try with a custom ROM....

Have you ever loaded a custom ROM?... You said you loaded a Titan ROM? I believe you had to have your phone unlocked for that and that was just for the Radio and it was not a full OS flash. So if you did that then hopefully your phone is unlocked.
If your phone is unlocked you will see the following on you bootloader:
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.Coke
CPLD-3
What do you have listed.
Let me know and maybe I can help.

His phone is not unlocked and he cannot get back into Windows Mobile so he cannot unlock it at this point.
His only option is to load the RUU/WWE from Sprint (presuming that is his carrier) as I don't think (I'm probably wrong) that the stock boot loader will flash from sd card.

Hye Boggsie,
Didn't COKE release a version of his unlocker that was flashable via SD card. I know that I flashed extracted the .nbh from the .exe and renamed it and flashed. It worked but I only did this because I running Vista 64 and couldn't get it to work from Vista. I will look and see if I can remember how I did it. The op said he flashed a titan rom to get the radio or something. I would guess that might play a part in this.
I agree that the Sprint.exe would be his only option but I will see if I can locate what I did. That may also work........
Thanks for the reply...
Here is the link to the 2.31 unlocker: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe
Here is the link to the thread over on PPCGEEKS:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
What I did was to extract the .nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG. I flashed that from my SD card and unlocked my phone. I don't believe this is a supported method. I don't know how good of an idea it is. But it seems that you have tried everything else already. I would READ the thread VERY CAREFULLY before deciding to try this. I Must be VERY CLEAR. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. AGAIN READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE THREAD FIRST. I only did this because when I was newer I made a mistake and found myself in a similar position as you. I knew my phone was dead and figured I had nothing left to lose. I take no responsibility for this as I am sharing information that I have from my own experience. I don't think that this is really suppossed to work but it did for me. It has been a while since I fixed mine, and I have flashed to many times to remember. So I am reasonably sure this is what I did.
Good Luck......
Update:
Read this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906
This should help you fix this.
UPDATE 2:
Rename the .nbh to VOGUIMG not VOGUIMG.nbh the .nbh is the file extension and not part of the renaming process. If you include .nbh in the name it will not work.....
OK. GOOD LUCK

Hey I took the plunge.
I relocked and and then unlocked right from my sd card. It does work. Only recommended if there is no other way. But it does work. It is just like flashing a custom rom from your sd card but it only takes a few seconds.....

Wow ... a bit of a gutsy move; yours are bigger than mine, my friend.
Although, I wonder why / how it works? I mean, flashing a bootloader from SD is facilitated through the existing bootloader. So the existing bootloader is being overwrittern by the new bootloader, but the existing bootloader is performing the write / update process, so how can it possibly be overwritten?
This is why the bootloader process from the pc needs activesync; so that a temporary bootloader can be run in memory and then used to write the new bootloader over top of the existing one.
Oh well, who cares why I can't understand it ... it works. Good find!

I've read all posts on the issue because it seems to be a common one , here's the story, I received this phone from a friend already bricked , what happens wen I try turnin it on it just stuck in booting
I can't hard reset
I can't flash, I either get invalid vendor I'd or model Id. Or curropt file ,
I already kno its not cid unlocked and apparently no form of unlocking was done to it ,
But in its current state what can be done , because I've tried everything already within my knowledge
One other issue is I don't kno what is the stock rom for it so I can't flash without getting invalid vendor I'd , it unbranded and just says htc ,
Exca100
That's what's written on d back
What can be done ???
Thx in advance
Anybody ? I know its a simple fix , I just wanna know what can be done
all i can think of is download the htc ROM (in the official roms sticky)since its an unbranded phone and hold camera while powering on and flash. sorry I cant be much help in this area, just and idea I dont know if you tried it yet.
I did try all htc roms and it says invalid vendor I'd or incorrect model

Did you CID unlocked your device before? If so, try an original rom from the sticky posted in the first page.
it wasnt
but its offficial now i tried all the roms there
none works
Then CID unlock it now. . .That's the problem for why you cant use any other ROMs.

My recommendation is that you contact your carrier and see if they can flash it to an original rom. HTC also can provide you a solution and hopefuly they can give you the original rom of your excalibur.
Good Luck,
Makes no sense because in jamaica they don't do repairs like that here especially if it wasn't bought from them
is it a dead case ?

It's not a dead case, if you can get it to bootloader your S621 is not dead try again to flash in different PC's and see what happens. See this thread it may be helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534725 because it definitely gives you hope.
Try this:
* Shut Down the device
* hold down the camera button located to the right of the space bar for like 10 seconds,
* while still holding it down plug the USB in and you should see the menu come up with three colors.
* This is where you load your original ROM and can connect with ur PC .......
* perform Install the OLD ROM (After Installation page seems to be stuckon T-Mobile Logo but give it 1-2 Minuts and it will switch to Cold Boot Device configuration)
* make sure @ll is ok : then Reboot
* Install the Updated one from NRG
Hello,
Need some help.
Unbranded my desire today which went well. It asked me if I wanted to update the software OTA which I clicked yes to. This is where it all went wrong, phone now comes up with Network locked unlock sim.
Can anyone help me get round this, I read a thread a couple of days ago where someone had the same problem but I can't for the life of me find it. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi there mate. I dont know the answer to your problem but can say that no one else has ever posted that exact error. Can you confirm the EXACT wording of the error and and numbers it may throw. If its already correct (including any punctuation) it seems you have a very unique problem.

It may not have been here but I think it was.
Basically it was a branded Orange Desire.
After much reading I decided that I wanted to get of all the Orange stuff that comes bundled and cannot be removed.
I followed a guide to de-brand the phone which worked perfectly. When I first turned the phone on and checked the software update it said 1 update was available, I chose to download and install the update. When I checked the phone version it was 2.1update 1 (I think).
Turned the phone off and on again and went back into the software update and was offered another update which I assumed was Froyo, chose to download and install that via wifi. Everything seemed to work but when the phone rebooted it came up with the following message "SIM network unlock PIN" there is no other error code and it wants an 8 digit code.
Called Orange and played dumb and they said that they would send me a new phone but I've told them to hold off for now.
Thank in advance.
Hmmm looks like you may have flashed a Branded ROM for another provider which I didn't thik had any effect on provider locks. But in the lack of help from anywhere else you could always try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748105 which is what I did on my Virgin Mobile UK Branded and locked phone.

You could buy an unlock code online..That should sort it.
It looks like your using an incompatible radio. Which version are you using? To find out go to settings - about phone then it should be baseband version?

Got a fully up to date Droid, didn't have to pay Orange for the Network unlock code either lol
really pleased mate well done! Its scary **** when you may have to pay out for the bugger lol
good advice in this thread
Got it up and running yet?
If not, take the SIM out and find the software version in settings. If it's something like:
x.xx.405.x
then you have an unbranded ROM which most people have had issues with with Orange phones. You could try updating to Froyo if the OTA update is still available as that should flash a working radio or just buy an unlock code for about a tenner that would be best in the long run.
Just to let you know that the latest radio is compatible with orange (I have it) its 5.09.00.20. Shouldn't sim lock your phone. Good luck. Hope you get it sorted.

This post says that he sorted it.
i am sure its an incorrect radio take your sim out and you should have access , i ended up rooting the device using revoke one click method very easy just follow carfully then i installed a custom rom and a new radio
this is the orange one for bootloader 0.75 "update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed" all working great the rom i used was "Official_FroYo_Market_fixed"
hope this helps actually just upgraded radio to 5.09 with no problem
Yeah got this sorted peeps.
Didn't mess around looking up radio's or anything like that.
This is what happened to me.
1. Debranded Orange Desire from 2.1update1 to Generic 2.1
2. Upgraded OTA from Generic 2.1 to 2.1update1
3. Was offered and accepted update to Froyo
4. Got error saying SIM locked unlock sim
5. Put Froyo ROM onto SD card and loaded it via recovery
6. Enjoyed having the last laugh over Orange technical support
Thank you to jamesmcuk who's post (I think it was 4 or 5) resolved my problem, would suggest the same process to anyone else who had the same problem that I had.
On another note, how do I check what radio version I have and if it's upto date?

Ok, I rebooted into recovery last night and I got a 5 vibrates and a green blinking light.
I can get my phone to go into android if i have it pluged into usb but sd support is disabled. If i unplug at any time, it reboots into 5 vibrates. Battery pull.
I can get it ino recovery sometimes but nothing from sd card can be accessed.
I can get it into bootloader but it says s-on for some reason and nothing is flashable from bootloader including ruu's or radio upgrades etc...
The phone is not communicating with pc or pc with phone
Adb is not functional either.
Ive tried everything that i can think of to unroot etc..
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im desperate.

Your sd card may be corrupt. First, back it up, then format it to fat32 in windows. Then put the PB31IMG.zip file on the root of your sd: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9Q4CNAGX
Put the sd card back in the phone and do a battery pull. When you put the battery back in, hold the volume down key for a few seconds if the phone is plugged in. If it isn't plugged in, hold the power button and the volume down key until the bootloader comes up. It should eventually ask you if you want to update, and press volume up.
If you can't get to the bootloader, then you are most likely bricked. Talk to verizon about a replacement.
Also, before this happened, were you flashing any radios via bootloader?
Well if you got S-ON, I would just take it to VZW and say this **** is messed up get me a replacement, unless you didnt originally buy the phone from them.
I'd try a different SD card formatted to Fat 32 with the RUU on it, unless you already tried that.
but i cant even flash an ruu from my pc either. That has nothing to do with the sd does it? Also, if i put anything on my sd card to flash in bootloader. It just says its checking file and never asks me if i want to install it like it used to.
Does an sd card have to be in the phone in order to flash a ruu from the pc?

Don't think so, but I think it has something to do with HBOOT or Radio version that's in the RUU, so if the one that is on the phone now is higher then the RUU, it wont update. Maybe if its the same version as well it wont update. Dont think you need the SD card to run RUU from PC.
So I assume that since you are trying to fix it, there is no way you can get a warranty replacement?

Well if it says S-ON then you are OK. Does it have stock recovery or clockwork on it, if even accessible? If you call in, they will send you a new/refurb model, then you send it back in. They wont even bother checking. I would suggest calling over going to a store. You get better service and more convenient. All I would say that your phone does this and that and wont boot and they will probably try to tell you to do a few things, but if you can't get into the OS, I don't see your phone call being long.

Only if he goes to the store. If he calls and gets it taken care of, they will send him a phone, then he sends it back. I believe all they check is that there was no water damage and cracked screen and other physical damage.

If you got insurance on your policy,then yes, you can say it was lost/stolen. You just pay the $90 deductible or whatever for the new phone.
But if you don't have insurance then you're screwed on that approach, also if you call for warranty replacement they just check for any physical damage, but they do try to boot it

did you try flashing recovery through hboot as well? i can send you a pb31img with clockwork 2.5.0.5 if you want to try but i think you need a signed image.

Ok, I rebooted into recovery last night and I got a 5 vibrates and a green blinking light.
I can get my phone to go into android if i have it pluged into usb but sd support is disabled. If i unplug at any time, it reboots into 5 vibrates. Battery pull.
I can get it ino recovery sometimes but nothing from sd card can be accessed.
I can get it into bootloader but it says s-on for some reason and nothing is flashable from bootloader including ruu's or radio upgrades etc...
The phone is not communicating with pc or pc with phone
Adb is not functional either.
Ive tried everything that i can think of to unroot etc..
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im desperate.
Thanks,
Incubus

Verizon will cover this under the one year warranty. Thankfully I thought I was the only one, this happened to me twice.
Inc,
What were you doing at the time? Did you flash an incorrect hboot? I'm really surprised it can't be recovered if you can access the bootloader. Did you try another card just to rule it out?

What are you trying to flash?
Are you doing it via SD or via PC? I would assume via PC since you got an error on your PC...
Can you try flashing via SD?
Did you unlock your phone? Did you try to load the stock rom?
You can probably just put the stock rom on the sd card, and load from there.

What ROM were you flashing before? Just use that one.
wizardknight, look at the screenshot... he's already HSPL'd.
Root of SD card == no folders. 0 folders. Just put the file on the SD card. Not within a FOLDER.
RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship
is the name of file which i use to update ,but its a computer file,how can i use it by putting in SD CARD ?
its a application file,i cant ever extract it

Never said he wasn't.I said the physical location of the phone had no relevance to the locked or unlocked state of the phone.
That would like saying cars can only go fast if they are in France. Completely illogical.

Hm, it's trying to flash the bootloader... What ROM is this you are trying to flash? It might be a stock ROM which is not appropriate for your device...

I don't think logic has anything to do with this.... I don't think it ever did my friend, lol.
my mobile is of sprint,i think at start of this thread i put image of my mobile
RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium _4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship
this is the file which i downloaded from htc website
i extract it with zip 7
direct me to the link of rom which can work on my device
If this is a Sprint RHOD. Then it should be a Rhod400.
Your screenshot does not show RHOD400.
If it is a sprint RHOD400, then this thread has CDMA wm roms in it.

plz help me ,my phone is in this condition almost 1 month
You don't know what kind of phone you have for sure, you don't know what rom was on it for sure, you don't know what rom should be on it, you can't download roms, and you are about 5000 miles away. What do you want us to do?
Go find a repair shop. We can't help you.
i am using touch pro 2
it have sprint ROM Wm 6.5
i have recently downloaded ROM but it give BOOT LOADER ERROR
should i try other ROM also
what can be the cause of BOOT LOADER ERROR,is it due to wrong ROM VERSION ?
I HAVE CONSULTED 2 repair shop they keep my mobile for a week and then return it,
because in Pakistan we have shortage of electricity,so repair shop cant give time to my mobile.

You still have not told us what phone you have. There are at least 5 types of touch pro 2s + some knock off ones.
Sprint rom WM 6.5 does not tell us what rom you are running,
If you downloaded a rom amd it gave you boot loader error, then it must not work on your phone.
I suggest that you find another repair shop that will be able to fix your phone in less than a week, or just buy a new phone.
Good luck. You are going to need it.
i will try next 24 hour to make it run
i will try ROM from the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686903
but if still failed i will find better repair shop
when i try to download a ROM it give me error
(The file link that you requested is not valid.)
WHAT SHOULD I DO
waiting for your response
THANKS

Download another ROM/find another link?
This device is getting quite old now, so it will become infinitely more difficult to find the appropriate files, with valid links.
Good luck.
