A plea to the wonderful XDA Community out there - Please help!
I posted a few days ago under "Blue Angel" that my device was no longer recognising the presence of its SD Card. [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312147 ] Nothing had helped with that situtation so I tried a ROM update as a last resort (knowing I would have to reinstall everything, etc)
The ROM updates I have tried have all failed. I have found several different ROM downloads from various sources, including this website. I have done ROM updates before with no problem and as the post title says, I have read the WIKI so I am not posting this in complete noob ignorance!
Every time, it fails when updating Radio Stack (I have tried V1.12.0, 1.14.0 and 1.15.0) Sometimes the ROM update program says it has encountered an error when updating radio stack. Sometimes it just disappears from the screen on my PC. Sometimes I get a Win32 error.
My device is stuck on "Serial V2.07" bootsplash grey screen.
All this just because it stopped detecting SD card
PLEASE please help, any and all advice v much appreciated.
If someone knows a link to a good, reliable ROM update I would be glad to receive it
P.S. If you think my device is FUBAR then please let me know but I hope not!
I'd try another computer.
Since you can still get into the bootloader mode, there's hope for your device.
Also if your cradle is USB, then it should change from Serial to USB in the bootloader screen when you plug the device into the cradle.
Reply to Wuzy
Wuzy - thanks for the tip, I'll try another computer. Will post further update on here when I've tried that.
For the record, it certainly DOES change to "USB" on the bootloader screen when I dock it into the cradle.
I'm glad to know there is still hope *crosses fingers*
Cradle yr device and flash a suitable ROM.See more in Blue Angel Upgrading section
hi,
i'm a newbie, and yes i have screwed up.. performed (or should i say.. almost performed) my rom update on my desktop (which is kinda slow PC...) i had no applications or unwanted services running, my computer. The Progress on the Rom update (the desktop couterpart) had incremented and had become full (the progress bar i mean..) and it was nicely sitting there for about two hours with no indication of any further progress (yeah just wanted to make sure it wasnt me being hyperactive or in a hurry )
On the PDA it was a different story.. the screen indicated a 100% copy of some image file and then it was stuck at "Reset Hermon" stage. )for the record, i feel like a parrot now, these words dont really make sense to me.. )
So i removed the cable, battery and booted up my phone after about ten minutes... yup, just like i had expected it got stuck at the bootloader screen.
Now obvisously, my Rom update wizard wont work, as the very first step is to check for a existing Active Sync Connection. and Activesync is not a application tht recognizes phones connected in their bootloader mode...
Now i have no idea about trying to flash thru the memory card, i tried copy pasting all the files that the Rom update file had generated in the desktop folder it was run in(about 4 exe files that are supposedly 'not a valid 32-bit application' and two .abi files.. one of the abi file is 85 mb, so i guess that was the image file.. but when i copied these files into the memory card and re booted my PDA, it didnt show any change, as in it still asked me to connect the USB cable and was trying to get the image from there..
I have a o2 xda zinc. yeah, with no Operating system ..
to say that help would be appreciated is a understatement
damn, contacted the o2 support guys, but i have this feeling that this (forum ) would be a faster way to know if i have to drop my phone at the 'collection center' or not. i am still optimistic as the phones under warranty and its just a software glitch. Please enlighten me. what are my options?
hi
my o2 zinc has the same problem just like yours
if your zinc fixed or any thing new pleas tell me
tnx

hi mazi_v, i have problem when upgrading my XDA II.now it just displaying
USB and V 1.02
what i have todo?
thank's
"what i have todo?"
connect it to usb and rerun the flash
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..

great work
great job dude. this was totally unexpected.
at this stage of development with such performance its looking like bright future for android on fathom. installed it...will check...
thankyou
Hello bro, i'm from india. I own lg fathom and i checked yours installing android on fathom. Plz could u explain it in brief and also mention minimum requirement of storage on storage card and the type of storage card. Plz mention it in detail. I tried to install it in first and it gave error "smd_alloc_v1: cid 47 does not exist". And at the second time the screen started flickering and hanged up there only. So plz tell me in detail. I have been waiting for long about this.

Hey ajit bhai, plz update the thread as and when u find any modifications.
Hey guys, after when switch on to android it takes around 15 minutes to get the signal and recognised and when u cal, the end button does not work so for that u have to press hold and then press end button and then it works. And it does not support messaging and internet also. I just thought to say the problems bcaz its my first time abt tweaking. So plz anybody finds any solution plz do let me knw. Thank u guys for ur advancement.
rvin42 thank u again for ur reply. Plz anybody found any changes for this.

So plz anybody do something. Try anything guys.

First I want to say I tested this on my own HTC 7 Pro and all you need is the DFT HSPL and some time
This is the first time i wrote a tutorial so please correct me if there is a something wrong...
1. Check if you have installed HSPL on your device
2. Install the 7720 DFT Custom rom Can be found here
3.After you installed the Rom and your phone is rebootet complete the setup and connect to the internet (wifi or mobile)
4. Copy this link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7645529/DFRouter.xap and paste it in the Internet Explorer
5.You should now have a white screen with the text Tap to open the File DFRouter.xap tap on the text and leave Internet Explorer
6.Go to your application menu there should now be the DFRouter App put your phone back in zune mode and all is working just fine
Please give me a Feedback if this fix worked for you and if it was helpful ^^
not using it anymore my phone can't detect pc Zune and charging.had to send to service centre again and they change the mobo.I believe that WP7 is totally different from wm6.I also believe many have problem using it.
It really work
Thanks a lot & DFT Lukas94 my HTC hd7 is back in zune mode after three months.

The point here is that you can download and instal XAPs directly from the net instead of doing it through Zune and sideloading. The key to fixing the Zune mode on your phone is just to get DFRouter installed on your phone. Installing directly from the OP's dropbox account will allow it to install and will allow you to click the button "Zune Mode" to get your phone back to being able to sync with Zune again.
Router mode on Mango breaks the phone's connection to the PC entirely, which means you won't be able to charge your phone if in router mode on Mango... but if you turn your phone off and plug it into the wall-charger, it should charge... which will allow you to then install the XAP from the OP's dropbox account.

anyway thanks,i'm not going to risk again. I'm still on nodo.
Thanks a lot, my connection to Zune is back after 1 month
I´m pleased that it worked but I have some bad news... I don´t have a WP7 Phone anymore :/
sorry guys but I hope my tutorial helped you
