XDA Dead after trying to upgrade ROM

Hello,
My XDA is dead. I can't soft/hard reset it and when I try to get into the bootloader screen it also does nothing .
I tried to upgrade the ROM using an SD card. First I loaded the wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 on the SD card using xdarit.exe. Then I used xdarit.exe again to load the NK.nb1 file on my SD card. I then put the SD card in my XDA and loaded the bootloader by pressing the power+softreset button. It said i had to press the start key and so I did. It then started doing the upgrade from SD which did not give any errors.
When it was finnished I did a cold boot (that's what my XDA screen said) but nothing happened. I can't even get it in to the bootloading screen (SR+power).
Anyone know a solution to my painfull problem?
Thanks a lot,
Wouter.

Exactly the same problem here.
Seemed to go ok but didnt restart

Hi,
After ROM flashing, usually you should do a cold reboot then wait for about 60 sec then perform a 2nd cold reboot.

Its worth trying that, just poke the hole in bottom right of xda on time, wait a minute then poke once more, let us know if it works.

Still no go
Got myself a I-mate Pocket PC but would like to get the o2 goin again

MDA Wont Boot after update! HELP!

I tried to install the faria wm6 update with the shelltool. everything was going as per the directions, about 3 or 5 mins in the install process(which says takes 15 mins) it stopped and it gave me an error on the phone saying something about the reprog.exe or someting... anyways, the computer said done and to reboot... so I did and now it goes as far as the white TMOBILE screen with the following 4 lines of code
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
and it freezes there... it wont turn off either.
Tries removing the battery and reinserting it. Well the same thing happens upon powering on the device. Tried hitting the little hard reset button on the side with the stylus... the screen flashes off and then it attempts to reboot again and the phone freezes at the same spot. Please help. I did everything according to the directions. PLEASE TELL ME I DIDNT BRICK MY PHONE. :'(

This was answered over in the WM6 forum.
But read this:

Error [228] : Invalid File Size

when i use RUU it comes up with this error and stops at 4% of the instalation.
when i try to flash the .nbh (any) file from the phone by holding the camera button when turning on, Herald freezes on the tricolor (red green blue) screen. it says.
IPL 4.17.0001
SPL 4.70.Yang
Dont know what to do, i must have done something wrong

Which ROMs have you tried? Some ROMs can only be flashed from an SD card because even the HardSPL requires at least 50mb (51200kb) to flash through ActiveSync.

be happy... when it shows 4.70.yang....
you can flash any rom.... but not one with wrong size..
hihihi

I had the same problem when i tried flashing a rom with herald uspl when it was actually supposed to be installed on sd. If it is meant to be installed by sd you need to fat 32 format your sd card and put nothing but the .nbh file on there, put it in your phone and then hold down the camera button and use your stylus to push the soft reset while still holding the cam button. It should then recognize the rom and you will be able to start flashing. If it just sits at the bootloader screen (rainbow screen) dont freak out just reset your device again, if that happens you may have a corrupt file.

Was this rom by chance open touch 4.0 micro? Because I had that problem also and I cannot figure it out.

I've tried Just2Clean and Open Touch v4.0 WM 6.1 both thru RUU and from SD card. had no luck in both cases. i really wanna have J2C tho.
Gonna try formating the SD and will report back. Regards

J2C has to be done through the SD card. Like armyboi4id said, fFormat the card to FAT32, place the HERAIMG.nbh on the SD card, press and hold the camera button and then press the soft reset with the stylus. When it comes up to press something to flash, press the volume down key. And just wait until it says that it's done.

ok, i've got J2C image on the sd card and nothing else. it is fat32, i press the camera button, reset it, then the tricolor screen. and that is it.
now i got two questions jsut to be sure. when do i release the camera button? and how long do i have to wait before the tricolor screen changes to anything else?

what's the correct size?

release the camera button when the bootloader comes up. it should recognize the sd card and .nbh almost immediately and go to a white screen.

Just hold the camera button until you see it saying "reading."
Again, like armyboi4id said.
The correct size is 50mb (51200kb) as I said.

aight, i reverted back to shipped wm6 and then flashed Open Touch 4.0 without Hard SPLing the device and it worked. maybe i wasnt supposed to hardspl it in the first place lol.
Thanks a lot for all the replies and all your help guys

Searching for SD Card Tri Color Stuck

Symptoms:
I turn the power on.
Grey screen with searching for SD card comes on for half a second
Tri-color screen comes up with ONBL 1.27.0000 SPL 2.00.cmon F256
I cannot activesync but I can HardSPL and Rom update. I have tried several Roms with no success. I ran mtty and no success.
The odd part is if I take the battery out of the phone for a while sometimes it comes on but the volume settings freak out.
Any chance I have a damaged volume button so it is taking it to bootloader mode as if I have power and volume held down?

starge problem but i dont think that ur volume button is damaged cause u say that it boots if u wait
it might be some damaged data in ur flash in that part that controls what buttons do
just a thought

What does your SD card contain? Are there any softwares or programs can cause problem as a conflict wih your device? Maybe you got a problem similar to me.Take your SD card out, install your device back to the original WM6.1, then up the HardSPL_v2(by Cmonex), then you can up the Rom you want.
Try it.

I actually do not have any SD (microSD) card in it. I have two Touch Vivas and the broken one just does not behave like the working one. If I hold the red + green + power on the working one I get the factory reset screen. On the broken one it does not stop it from going tri-color. I have tried the reset button under the cover a hundred times.
The fact that it sometimes tries to boot into Windows (gos into the smart mobility screen) gives me hope but I am ready to dump the phone.

Pal,
Try to get back to the old spl, if the same problem presists, then flash stock spl and flash the official rom from htc. I guess, and just i guess ur viva model number is deffer.

Hmm, i have the same problemen with my pharos, and the rom and SPL are the original, never flashed ones. When I hard reset, normal procedure happens, formatting, then winmo 6.0 is reinstalled, you get the screen calibration, customization, then it resets, and I'm back to the threecolor screen.. what should I do?

Thank you for your advice, from you say I guess you think the ROM i have now is 'broken' ? I've tried resetting it and reinstalling it several times, after the forth time I had a working phone again, but that was only until I turned it off. When I turn it back on: woosh, three color screen again. Somehow i have the feeling this might be more related to the physical memory being broken than the rom on the memory, or am I mistaken? Wouldn't the phone be unable to work if the Rom was really 'broken' ? I am just guessing here, I am going to try fixing it with a new rom this weekend, I am just trying to figure out if that is going to help or probably not

Thanx! Will look into that!

HD2 Frozen... asking the right questions

Just loaded another keyboard cab and suddenly on soft reset/reboot the phone has frozen at the HTC logo and the screen showing the RGD info... won't reboot easily and takes many attempts to get back to this screen.. but will go no further.
So to do a search, what keywords should I be using or does anyone recognise this and have an answer.. have tried reset, battery out but nothing is working, the screen is just locked the screen mention above.
Using Laurentius26 GoldEdition V2.1 rom and was loading Touch-Keypad.Cab..
It is not connecting to the pc, so I can't reflash it at this time..

if you're phone wont boot since you installed this then looks like a hard reset is on the way mate sorry, you could try boot without mem card but doubt that will make a difference

Could you quickly remind me of the sequence for hard reset, red reset button doesn't seem to do a lot and I do have everything backed up so its not a problem... cheers.

press and hold both volume buttons and tap the power button. Keeping holding both volume buttons until it asks you if you want to factory reset the device. When it does tap volume up and it will then go off and do it's thing.

if the crash was the first time you had soft reset since youi installed the cooked rom, (even if you had been using it a while) it could be a mismatched radio. (Sometimes the rom/radio mismatch doesnt show till the first restart.)
Look at the R on the boot screen, if it has .51. in the version, then flash a new radio.

Thanks for all the help.. have managed to recover, restart and reflash, then reload, so we are all sweet now.. cheers..
