Orbit not booting. Please help!

I have O2's standard WM6 Rom on my XDA Orbit (with SDHC support installed by cab for my 4gb card) and, after performing a backup, I performed a hard reset in preparation for the install of the new Black & Blue V5 rom. However, it now sits on the boot up screen (see pic). It does this with or without the memory card installed and I have performed further normal and hard resets to no avail - it always sits at this point and goes no further. I left it for 30 minutes so I think it's safe to say there is a problem with it.
Any advice on how to resolve?
Thanks in advance.

have you installed the rom using the uspl file? if not, you have bricked your phone and there is no way to unbrick it yourself.

I haven't installed a Rom as of yet but I have installed USPL previously as I haven't always had the O2 Rom on this device. I had the Touch Vanilla on it at one point.
No, what has happened here is at the result of nothing more than a hard reset.
Any advice?

Yes, I can get into bootloader but my card is a 4gb and won't work by default as far as I know. Is there any way of doing it by USB? I have my cable connected with the bootloader screen on but it isn't doing anything and when I test it with USPL, it comes back with no device connected.
EDIT - ignore, just seen it can be done. Cheers for the replies all.

remove card at first, then enter btloader, and run Flash(o2 ship). dont do USPL directly - needs 2 install some certifikates before flashing.

Installed B&B V5 on it using bootloader and everything works fine now. Just a few issues with a few things on the restore using Sprite (caused by the differences between WM6 and WM6.1 I suspect) but nothing that couldn't be overcome easily enough.
Cheers for the replies everyone.

So the big question is, why did it do this, and what can I do to fix it? Help is much appreciated since he has no backup phone and he's a heavy user so he needs his phone back up and running asap

Hey rickyiswhite, I've experienced the same problem with my htc hd2. I am not hundred percent sure how and why this happened, but I managed to get my phone back to life. Here are two methods which I think might help you.
1. You might be missing 'initrid' and 'zImage' files in your sd card. You need these two files to flash new rom from your sd card otherwise the phone cant 'recognize' your sd card. You can find these two files from any rom you have downloaded, just copy and paste them into your sd card's root folder.
2. If this is not the case, I would recommend you to format your sd card (fat 32, i tried once to format my sd card to ntfs, and kind of destroyed it), and clear everything inside your phone using 'task29', which means you will lose everything stored inside your phone and sd card. Then you can uninstall and reinstall the HSPL (this might not be necessary, but I did that, just to make sure everything is cleared). Afterwards you just have to flash the radio and the magldr back. What's left now is to copy your rom into your sd card, remember to copy the 'initrd' and 'zImage' as well, and flash the rom, done!
However, I can't guarantee this would work because you know, different devices, so you have to take your own risk and responsibility to do this. FYI, you can also flash a new rom through computer, using the DFT.exe inside the rom. But currently most of the roms are flashed through magldr or clk, so it would take you some time to find the rom that can be flashed directly via computer.
Anyway, good luck to you, and hope these tips might help

[Q] Bricked phone - forgot what version of android I was running

Is there any way to tell what version of android i'm running from examining the files on the SDcard?
I have a virgin mobile galaxy s3, I kept getting software update prompts and ignoring them. I may have updated at one point, I don't remember.
All I can look at are the contents of the SD card, and i'm trying to unbrick a hard brick ( can't get into recovery , phone shows no signs of life. Flash seemed to work correctly, and then after phone reboot, phone shows no signs of life, and I am trying to use the SD card method to revive my phone but I don't know what version of android I was running.)

Of you can read the internal SD, take a look at your build.prop

I can get in to philz recovery manager with this method - but after i'm in philz, what do I do? How do I flash an image? My SD card is now tiny, If I try to use diskpart or minitool partition wizard to reformat while it's mounted from philz, it won't let me.
Is it okay to remove the SD card while i'm in philz recovery manager, and then put the card in my computer, restore the partitions, put the stock file on the drive, then reflash?

Should be

If you can get into philz recovery i would suggest downloading a aosp rom from your computer transfer it to ur sd card then flash it.

Please Help... Note II cannot connect to pc

Hi,
I'll keep it to the point.
What's the problem?
I am not able to connect my phone to PC. And stuck on a unrooted Stock rom(Rooting Apps not helping)
What have i tried?
I tried plugging into many PCs with many different cables.
What happened?
I was on Cyanogen based Lollipop when the problem occurred and thought it was a problem with the rom so i tried to go back to Stock Rom. Since i was not able to connect to PC i used MobileOdin. Though it reverted me back to stock i lost my Root as well.
Now stuck in the barren Stock rom lands for five months with almost everything on google tried out I am hoping to go back to the Cyanogen with your help.
Please help, please let me kno if you need more info.
Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

download TWRP from play store, flash TWRP via app, then go to recovery, use microsd card reader or wifi/bluetooth file transfer.
make sure you have Kies installed

I would guess memory is broke or corrupted. (so it's brick) Did it shut itself down when battery went flat? Did it turn off normally?
But normally (if your phone is still able to boot normally) when stuck at "initialization" it's a communication issue, so try use another usb cord, usb port, different version of Odin (older or newer).
Try shut PC & phone down, pull battery reinsert after a minute and try again.
[ didn't newer version of Odin have problem flashing Philz? I'd recommend TWRP from neozone thread anyhow].

Yes, in fact it connects normal but a little before spoiling the philz was running, however, it started installing the AOSP rom and in the middle the screen erased, I suspect it is the hd ... Now it just turns on the Odin and the screen Vibrate and black fics in Recovery mode (no signal). I tried the recovery with 3 different computers and 2 different cables ... several stockroms and several versions of Odin .. but nothing worked.
