O2 Orbit stuck at the boot screen

Hi,
ive flushed my O2 Orbit with the PDAMobiz rom, and it is now stuck at the boot screen at
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.00
I can go to bootloader and have tried the HTC firmware but the device reset itself after 3% !
i cannot use the http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php unlocker tool as it requires activesync to be connected to the device which obviously wont connect as it stuck on the boot screen or bootloader..
the phone wasn't unlocked using any tool before hand...
please please help!!!!!!

You can only bring it to life with original ROM for your device. If it does not exist, you have a brick, and have to get it repaired by a shop.

im usre i read somewhere that there are some ways to fix it as long as you can access the bootloader which i can..

I have the same problem ... But ... I downloaded my original ROM via aWizard ... Is any way, how flash this file (extension NBA) back to my Orbit ???

I'm sorry to say guys. I had EXACTLY the same problem you have described. I had to go back to an O2 shop and send my "brick" for repair. Thankfully though my phone was still under warranty so didn't cost me a thing.

how long did it take O2 to fix it

need help! bricked t-mobile arte110 german :((

I'm new on this forum and I really need some help .. I tried to change an t-mobile mda compact III rom (wich it was in german) but ended with an bricked phone (( .. If someone can help me ...please .. The device is not even mine; I was trying to help a friend and now I don't know what to do; I really don't have money to send it to imei-check or anything else. The artemis was in german . the problem ,now : was from t-mobile germany or t-mobile austria ? I really don't know beacause the device is second-hand and i don't have who to ask ..
after deep search I lost all my hope in finding an original WM5 ( I think) rom .. not german and not austrian.
So is there an solutin ? because I'm in big panic ...
Thanks a lot in advance guys !

hello,
took this for the windows mobile 6 thread
Bricked devices
If you have flashed your device and not cid unlocked it, your device maybe salvagable if you can get it into bootloader mode.
Hold down the voice speed dial button and soft reset - you should then enter bootloader mode 'multicolored' screen'
If you do, attach device to pc via usb cable (a small usb will appear bottom left of screen) and flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc) You do not need to be activesynced to do this.

Before you flash again with a non-factory rom, your device MUST be cid unlocked.
If you cannot enter bootloader mode your bootloader has been damaged and your device will need to be sent away for repair.
i bricked my phone once over and i was able to fix it by this method, i plugged the phone into the computer and entered bootloader mode and i pressed ctrl/alt/delete and found wcescom or something like that and pressed end task.. i then ran the update and it flashed the phone back to normal. after that i ran the Hard SPL program and unlocked the cid and then flashed with a custom rom..
hope this helps.

forgot to mention...
dont know anything about german and austrian rom's so you'll have to do a bit of research if those dont work for you...
sorry!

the links don't work (
thanks a lot .. I will try if I can get the roms ....

Follow my guide and use method 3. This will flash back a factory ROM, Dopod or whatever.

hello okkba
thanks for your help and your quick reply. i see that you help a lot of people around here so bless you.
i tried step 3 already.. the problem is that i don't have a "factory rom" that suitble for my device so i tried it with the dopod rom and i get an error cause my device isn't cid unlock. that's why i'm asking for the actual factory rom of htc.

If you "Goldcard" or SuperCID the phone, you can flash ANY factory signed ROM, even the Dopod ROM. I did the same to my phone when I bricked it. Follow the steps closely and copy the RUU_Signed.nbh to the "Goldcard" as CACAIMG.nbh, insert the SD card, turn on the phone and enter bootloader.

hello again..
on the second stage you described:
"You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below "
maybe the problem is that i don't have a working htc donor device with the original software? the donor htc i have has cooked rom.. do i have to "goldcard" on an original software if the bricked htc isn't super cid?
cause i tried it again exactly as you say but i don't understand whats the problem..

It doesn't matter what OS, software, or device you use. As long as it's Windows Mobile. Cooked, factory, smoked, modded, doesn't matter. The point is to write the Goldcard image to the SD card. Thats all. nothing else matters.

ok.. i'll try again tomorrow and see if it works..
thanks for your patience..

Debranding guidance needed from the very expert Guru

Hi Gurus,
Since the last two weeks , I have tried almost all the options to debrand the Htc Desire Orange UK version, but not success, Below was my cell stock information when I purchased it.
Htc Desire Black Edition (PVT1) not brown one
Froyo 2.2
Hboot = 0.93.0001
Radio = 5.10
CID=ORANG001
I wanted to debrand it to generic from the Orange then I rooted it with UnRevoked and S-Off through AlphaRev and executed the file "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe" from shipped Roms.
After that I got the Radio V2 Fail, When I restarted the cell, there was no display, even the charging light was off.
I contacted a person that has RiffBox, he flashed it and changed the CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001.
My cell new configuration is as below :
Hboot=0.930001
Radio=4.06
CID=HTC__001
Right now I have only fastboot and hboot access with no ROM in cell phone .
After that I tried almost all the Roms from the shipped-roms's bravo secton, they gives 2 types of error upon executing :
1. partition update failed (error on Radio v2 pu fail)
2. signature verification failed.
I want to debrand my cell to generic one , so that I can get rid of Orange stuff.
I am stuck at that point, needed the expert guidance to pass through this situation.
Thanks

No Guru answered till yet !!!

Given that you are s-off and rooted why would you not just install one of the stock rooted ROMs from the second post in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
I personally would not have changed the CID, can you install your stock RUU anymore?

Thanks 'welshbloke70' for reply.
Well, After having flashed with RiffBox my cell is no longer rooted or s-off.
Currently I have just fastboot and only hboot menu access. RECOVERY is not operational now.
When I turned on the cell, it directly comes to fastboot menu due to no
ROM in cell after flashing. So in this case I can only install from RUU or PB99IMG.zip, the xda link you gave have all the the ROMS but for rooted cell phones.
As now I have changed CID (HTC__001) which is the generic one, so I dont get any CID error upon installing generic RUU.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I guess the forum is out of gurus so you're stuck with us lot. Try this thread to solve your problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796975

Hi Paul,
I think the Gurus/expert are there are too much busy thats why they can not respond.
Well I saw your given link. It requires clockworkmod or Armon recovery, currently I am not rooted, so can not use the roms there.
Thanks,

Do you have a Gold Card??? Cause your problem sounds pretty bad. Since you aren't rooted and you don't have a recovery, it is pretty obvious that you can't install a custom ROM.
I guess you tried also the latest version of RUU which is 2.29.405.5 if you are from EUROPE.
From what I've read you can flash an branded RUU or another RUU on a branded phone only if you have a Gold Card. Now I don't know if this applies to you since you are no longer branded, but you can give it a shot if you haven't tried yet.
I think there is a tutorial on how to make a Gold Card even if you can't access the phone or see the screen. I'll look for it and post it here.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks 'UsManyDead' for taking interest in my case. The answers are as below :
1. Yes, I have gold card, for now its useless. Because as I know we need the gold card only if we are going to install a rom that is different from the current cell CID.
In my case I have already changed my CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001 and any generic RUU supports HTC__001 so there is no need of gold card in my case.
2. Any custom rom can not be installed due to fact that cell is no more rooted.
Only PB***.zip or Ruu can solve the problem. I have tried almost all the roms and ruu from shipped-roms. but they give 2 types of errors as I mentioned in my first post. I have also tried 2.29.405.5 many times but no success.
I know the options are becoming very few , but I hope that I will pass through this failure from you and xda community users.
Any other advice will be welcomed.
Thanks

Hello once again. I just read a little more about your problem, which is very rare but found some good threads you should read and try.
REMEMBER TO READ THEM IN FULL ( FROM FIRST PAGE TILL THE LAST ONE ) and maybe post your problem there, might be easier to get help.
First thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 ( even if it is for bricked SLCD, something in there might actually help, for example how to get the PB99IMG.zip from a RUU file)
Second thread (a continuation of the first): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
Third thread (where I actually found your exact problem): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000385 . Someone explains some kind of "voodoo" to be done to repair the error you get, and there are positive results, and I think you can use the first 2 thread to get the PB99IMG.zip.
Give it a try and remember to read them in full to understand. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi mate don't know if this can help you....i got usb bricked with my rooted and s-off desire. I flashed a an RUU thinking it would solve my issue but of course it just left me with a USB Brick unrooted! You can't write to that and no access with Adb. I got great help from Unrevoked page which fixed me by getting me back to root.
I summarised the process here:

Hope you might have success with your issue. If this does not help directly you might follow the link to the help page on UnRevoked.....

Thank all of you for taking interest in my problem.
At the end I have got success BUT with failure. Here is my story.
1. Erased and Flashed with RiffBox with CID=11111111 (super id)
2. Kept cell phone in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
3. Installed the new ROM from PB99IMG.zip (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip ) without any error.
4. Kept cell phone again in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
5. Started the cell phone for the first time and executed setup and went till the Home screen fine.
6. Tried some games and flash intensive web sites, and ohhh the phone rebooted.
It rebooted again and again. Untill I pulled out the battery and put it again after 30 minutes, but was unable to reach home screen.
Again kept the cell phone in refrigerator and phone works for a short time before it starts reboot loop.
So the main problem is rebooting now.
I spent nearly 16 hours on net , reading forums/posts for solution but at the end found that there is no solution except the motherboard replacement.
I am in PK and here is no HTC service center. I bought it second hand so dont have any warranty card/info with me.
So its just like a piece of scrape for me.
Anyways again thank you all for the great help. May be this refrigerator solution could work for anyone.
Thanks,
Ali

Have you tried changing cid back to orange and flashing correct ruu?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

No, I didn't try to change the CID to orange. And there is no orange related PB** or RUU on shipped roms.
I dont think Orange have done some customization in kernel or any other part.
I have seen threads running the generic version on orange brand phone. So it shouldn't be a issue, however bootloop problem is not related to either generic or orange brand rom , its related to motherboard.
Have you seen any post in which generic rom is initiating bootloop while the orange rom solved it ?
Thanks,
Ali

No Ali, I haven't. Seeing that you are in the dead end, I think that its worth trying everything from scratch. Don't know much about cid change, but could it be that cid is in a few places and now that you've changed it it sort of fights itself ? Will have a look into all this a bit later, I'm far from guru, but with a bit of luck should be able to find some info.

Hi tinky1,
Well, I have complete nandroid backup (boot, data, recovery and system images). I did it when I was rooted by unrevoked (clockworkmod).
Currently I have installed stock rom '2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_ release_159811', so how can I restore my earlier backup (i will again change the CID to orange, no issue) ?
Please remember i can not root now due to boot loop problem.
Any suggestion ?
Ali

So what do you actually have working? Bootloader, fastboot, recovery? Does phone bootloop when (if you can) you go into one of these?

Currently I have working fastboot and hboot. Recovery is not working , it stuck on HTC green logo.
Normal phone startup is also not functional, it reboots itself before it reaches 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.

I have managed to install Cyanogenmod 7 but the bootloop problem still exist. Analyzing the problem.

[Q] Need help ! HTC DHD blocked no Ruu works

Hi !
I come here in the hope to find someone who can help me with my DHD. It's a mobile bought with the French operator SFR (Vodafone) that I made desimlocked. It was already sent to repair last year and its motherboard was changed (so I re desimlocked it).
My telephone had numerous bugs and there it freezed up while I was sending a message.It was impossible for me to switch off it, I thus had to remove the battery, but it was impossible to restart it.
So I examined the forums and I followed indications telling to start on the bootloader (buttons volume + power) and to make a factory reset.
After several manipulations and fruitless attempts to install a Ruu Vodafone, we recommended me to post here to find a solution to my problem.
When I tried to install the Ruu Vodafone, the program blocked and never finish. I have no more access to the bootloader and there is a black screen with HTC and exclamation marks in corners, or then a white screen with Ruu .
I can't use UMT or an other soft because the drivers of debogage USB seems to have disappeared from the DHD (because of the factory reset ?).
So, is there someone here who now how to solve my problème ?:crying:
Thank you in advance for your answers.
(How I'm french, can you be explicit in your answers ? Thanks )
