I upgraded my device (PW10B1, Wallaby 5.15) from PPC2002 to WM2003final downloaded from http://www.romkitchen.de, I used SD card type-1 and the writing completed successfully but after cold reset, Wallaby boot screen showed up again and stopped with "GSM OK" message and won't go any further. Please help, Thanks.
When you get GSM OK, you are in the bootloader.
Maybe a malware of your powerbutton....
if you just do a softreset, what happens without touching the powerbutton?
Stefan
actually I got the device in damaged condition from a friend, before upgraded it won't boot to windows, it was just keep displaying Wallaby boot screen with "GSM ERROR" message when turned on. After upgrade process and soft reset (with and without touching power button, the results are the same) Wallaby boot screen is still displayed but the message is "GSM OK". I'm thinking the same thing, the power button may be damaged somehow, I'll try to check that, I'll let you know what comes up. But is there any other possibility for the problem? Thank you very much Stefan.
Joyo
No, normaly not, btw. i do not know any possibility.
Stefan
power button
I tried to work on the power button, opened the device and take a good look at the switch, physically it looked just fine. Well, guess I just have to let that one go :? Thanks for the help Stefan.
Joyo
Hi thejoyo, have successful you recovered your wallaby? I have exact problem:
1. The device automatically enters bootloader 5.22, says GSM OK and then stop. Buttons dont work, except for two reset button.
2. Charge led (usually amber when charging) turn RED
3. I managed to flash the device by SD card method but did not success. When i put SD card into device and reset, it automatically flashed itself!!! Without my permission, didn't press OK button!!! It's very strange. Then it said that flash success, cold reboot. I press reset button and it enter bootloader again, like i have never flashed it.
I have tried many SD card, still no luck.
Should I try something else? Please suggest me what to do next!

I tried to do a hard reset and the black screen came up and when i pressed the green button it tried to format the jamin but then came up with format failed
I then managed to get the device in bootloader mode by camera + reset
then let go of reset and press power once and that got me in bootloader mode, I then tried to install the new rom again and went to 86% and said error [326] This NBF can not be used with your PDA phone. Please check your NBF file. I than took the battery out of the imate device and when put it back in the phone wont even load of anymore its just black and dead. I know it isn't the battery because before I tried the hard reset I charged up the battery to full and i know there is definately nothing on the screen its black and when trying to plug it in via usb can not estqablish connection no more. I feel that this was a hardware issue from the start and is there anything else which i coulld try to prove otherwise? or do i need to send back to service centre? all help much appreciated
Hi,
After upgrading to new ROM I performed hard reset on my vx6900. At the last screen during hard reset pocedure I press Send button as requested and it was a last time I ever saw something on my screen. Device is not waking up anymore when I plug power it always the red led is switching on (with or withoout batery). I took a 100% charged batery from another device, but it's not helping. I'm out of options I think I tried evrething: Hard reset combination, bootloader combination, keep it on charge for hours, then without battery for hours - no luck.
Could anybody help me?

Had you been switching to Android (NAND Flash)?
No, I performed hard reset after succefully loading NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.
Before NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 I loaded Vogue_unlocker_MFG-2.31 (initial attempt to load NFSFAN's WM6.5 without unlocker didn't work).
Is there any way to revive it after Red Led?
If you cannot put your device in bootloader, then you are toast
How are you trying to put the device in bootloader?
I guess it dead then Not waking up into boot mode after Pwr-snd-reset.
Also I tried any combination of buttons with reset. It is not waking up. And it is strange to me because I was just performing hard reset and following the screen prompt. Now I don't see any activities except this stupid red led. I though there is some sort of reincarnation procedure some "hard hard" reset?
To enter the Boot Loader mode....
Press and hold the following buttons:
Power (on top left of device) + Camera (on right of device, near the bottom) + Reset (small hole on bottom right of device, just right of the USB port. You can press this with the tip of your device's stylus).
It can be tricky to press all 3 of thes buttons at the same time, and you will probably need to use both hands.
You should see an odd rainbow on screen, indicating that you are in the Boot Loader mode. The device does not need to be connected to a computer of charger in order to enter Boot Loader mode.
If this does not work you may actually have the 1st bricked vogue I've ever seen...
(It didn't get wet, did it...?)

That is exactly why I was asking. What you are doing with power +vol keys is for the TP and not for the Vogue.
I used boot loader sequence already (pwr + camera + reset) between all other sequences it doesn't help, device is no show any vital signs the only thing that works is a red led.
I also noticed that when I power it up without batery and then insert the battery the red led is going away. Then Red led is blinking every time I press the reset.
It sounds that you may have fried your NAND...
Just to be sure, you didn't bump it, throw it, or sent it for a swim... have you?
Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694798
May not work, but it is worth a shot.
Guys, when you get a red LED, it means your battery is fried. It's near summer so are you sure you didn't charge it in the car or something? Replace your battery and you'll be fine.

The OP already stated that he tried a 100% charged battery from another Vogue and nothing.
No, I didn't do anything brutal to that device, as i said it was absolutely responsive when I started the hard reset sequence and it had not history of stuck buttons, anyways I'm going to doublecheck all buttons to make sure nothing stuck and preventing it from boot (looks like it my last hope )
If that doesn't work. open it up and clean the dust and debris out of there with a can of spray air. There might be a spec of dust that is causing a short circuit. That actually happened to me during the 80386 days when I was putting together a computer and it wouldn't get past the post screen. Turned out, there was a spec of dust lying across 2 pins on the CPU.
I keep my phone in my pocket and every now and again I take the back cover off and there is a ton of dust in there.
Good luck.
So? Any news? Could you revive it?
Use this it will be fine as i have used it once!!!
Edited *This will help those that are stuck at the HTC welcome screen and cannot get past it to load IMCokeMan's Unlocker.**
Edit by ImCoKeMaN: If you are stuck in bootloader (3 color screen) use titanexitbl or mtty (set 16 0 then task first and try these steps only if that doesn't work.
Apparently you can not use SDHC cards with this method, please use the 512mb card that came with your phone.
I have successfully unbricked my phone due to updating the Alltel rom to a non Alltel Vogue, before IMCokeman had released his unlocker an also have downgraded to the previous SPL version. I will shortly update this post with the How to instructions. I just need to retrace my steps.
I would first like to thank IMCokeMan for his help and unlocker.
I currently have a Sprint Vogue but I assume this will work for all versions
For those that had loaded the Alltel rom without the unlocker and have bricked there phone try this procedure to unbrick your phone.
1. First download IMCokeMaN's 2.31 Unlocker. http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
2. Extract IMCokeMan's unlocker
Previous SPL version was 2.31 current SPL version is 0.36
Edit by ImCoKeMaN:
Note: Steps 3, 4 and 5 should not be necessary, but step 6 is critical that it is a signed rom from your carrier
3. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called VOGUIMAG2.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh
4. Copy the file to a fat32 memory card, and insert it back into your phone, and place it into bootloader mode.
5. The phone should display Loading... let it sit there for a minute or so. It will not go past this screen, now reboot the phone.
6. Extract your official rom (Must be a signed EXE from your carrier, check here)
7. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh
8. Copy the file to your memory card (less than 2gb and formated fat32) and insert it back into the phone and place it back into bootloader mode, and install the your Carrier's Official ROM.

The OP is not stuck in bootloader. His device simply doesn't turn on.
Unfortunatelly nothing helps. I opened it up, even unscrewed completely and sprayed with dust remover. It's the same.
What I noticed is when I plug device to power without battery the red led goes on (it's normal behavior for all devices). Then I insert the battery while device is still plugged in (in my case to Laptop's USB). The red led goes away (also normal behavior for devices). Then I can hear USB connect sound from laptop and in few seccond message: "USB device not recognized".
Click on reset button causes device's Red Led to blink and I can hear USB re-connect sound from Laptop again. Any other buttons or combination of buttons on device don't do any diffrence.
You are only trying to charge via USB? You should have said this earlier. Get a charger (output of 1 A). I had the same thing happen to a Wizard once and I used a high output charger and it worked again (battery was brand new too).
USB cable was one of my desperate try-outs, before I was keeping it on stock HTC (1A) charger for days, with empty and full battery in and no luck
This is my third hard reset and the first 2 times I was not that peeved at all but this time around I am quite pissed at this phone! I was careful with what I am installing and it was after getting the latest TMO update. Btw, I have TMOUS and stock (newer one). Anyway, I was not even doing anything at all when my phone froze, I was simply going to turn off the alarm (I use SPB Time).
Anyway, I soft reseted and it is stuck at the Stick Together screen. Tried many times and no luck so I just thought, wth, just hard reset.
The first two times I hard reseted, it was automatic since I got a message on my phone but this time there was no message so I decided to use the volume buttons and the end key button. The first time I tried it, I ended up with the tricolor screen and nothing. No message about 'this will erase blah blah.' I tried again several hours later and it finally gave me the message about pressing the volUP button to proceed with hard reset so I did. And after just TWO seconds, I saw RESTORE COMPLETE, press volUP to boot so I did and NOTHING. I am still stuck at the Tmobile Stick Together screen after reboot!!! I did this three times (volUP, endkey, hard reset, volUP) and it was always fast. I don't remember it being that fast before.
Can someone please just tell me what I can do to just get it work again? Does this mean I just bricked this frickin' phone??? I have not flashed a ROM (except perhaps to do the TMOUS update). Can I still make this work?
(I don't know where to post this so I apologize if this is the wrong one. But I thought since a lot of people are flashing their roms in this thread, someone have seen something similar to mine and can help).
I love this phone but this is ridiculous.
things to try

Try removing your memory card and doing hard reset. If that doesnt work try removing both memory card and your sim card and doing a hard reset. If that doesnt work try loading an original stock LEOIMG.nbh file onto your memory card and flashing from your memory card.
BTW, should be BOTH up and down volume keys and power button to get to hard reset screen. Then volume up to restore.
Hope that helps.

I did mean volume UP and DOWN. Anyway, I tried your suggestions but same result. Still stuck.
So I proceed as if I am updating to the newer T-Mobile version. I followed the steps posted here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?
However, when it came to the part where I had to make sure I have active sync established, I actually could not tell as it shows on my PC that I am not connected but at this point I really have nothing to lose. However, that said, in bootloader mode on my phone I see USB when I connect the phone to PC and then it reverts to SERIAL when I disconnect. So I thought, what the heck, it seems to be connected. AND VOILA, I was able to flash using TMO's updated ROM (the one I had just before all these mishap). WHEW! As much as I hate hard resets, I'd take it over bricking.
Thank God for TMo's excellent instructions on that site. I tried reading the instructions for flashing here and I just could not understand all these SPL, HARDSPL2 crap.
If I have to do another hard reset after I set this all up again I am going to scream!!!
hello!
i got a question. i tried to get a energy rom on my phone. i did everything said in this thread: [TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL]
updated drivers, had SPL 1.54.0000 on my phone and followed the instructions. when i executed USPL and did the following step in the guide:
"(USPL5b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c)...When the application appears click on Run USPL."
the programs output said everything is fine and the phone turned off like it should do. the only problem is, it did restart and i also cant switch it on with the power button... any suggestions?
regards
there is 2 points of view to this:
1. how did you actually end up where you are now?
2. and how do you solve that (probably depends on 1.)?
so:
1.
- did you, by any chance, ignore the warning to only flash with a full battery?
although a cable is plugged in, during the stages of flashing the device is not charged, but actually uses a lot of power, due to the fact that the screen is backlit the entire time and the nand is constantly accessed.
- could your usb cable be faulty and have terminated the connection midway through?
that could mean that you now have a broken spl, which is not much better than no spl at all.
2. some of the most primitive ways of getting the device back to life might be:
- have you tried switching it on with VOL- pressed (bootloader mode) instead of actually switching it on? (also, in that case, which spl is shown?)
- have you taken out the battery for half an hour and put it back in then and tried to switch it on or enter bootloader mode?
- do you have any way of either testing the battery outside of that specific device or charging it externally? (to make sure it is not actually empty, because in this state, your device might not charge it)
- and lastly, have you done this procedure before?
are you sure, you followed it to the letter? because any indication of going off-script might help us find the cause and then the solution to your problem.
if we can make sure, that your phone is not physically harmed (battery, usb connector...) and you are not in the worst luck about the timing of the error, we should be able to fix it.
Hi
to start you phone again you have to press "both" volume button down, at the same time you have to press the reset button as well,reset button is beside you SD Card on the back of you phone ,when you press all the button you will see a 3 colored screen on you phone if you see the 3 colored screen stop pressing the volume button,after that it is everything explaind on the phone screen.With this method you will delete everything on you phone and be back on you original phone settings.
no, that would be a hard reset and it does not affect the spl, without a proper spl, the phone cannot boot and a hard reset cannot change that, he needs to access bootloader mode to flash an spl and then a rom.
I chose wrong option installing magisk and i got bricked phone. I know i am dumb. When I turn phone logo nothing appears and small information press any key to shutdown. I've tried enter by key combination, but as it says it shutdowns. Cmd/Terminal my phone is not being recognized. Is there any option to restore phone?
I'm on same boat after try installing custom rom this happened is well don't know how to fix this without fastboot mode .
Maybe keep phone like this turned on until its die I don't know man would be nice if anyone able to fix that.
When the phone is off, keep pressing volume down and the power button till you are in the bootloader. With installing magisk you wont brick your bootloader normally.
Had the same issue

If you holding any buttom when it's boots up it's just turns off any combination don't work. Pc don't see phone.
I'm in the same situation. Bootloader ( with flashing critical ) unlocked, rooted with magisk on EEA 1.1.4. I'm tried to upgrade to 1.1.6 ota. I'm on slot A Turned off magisk modules and fllashed back to stock 1.1.4 bootloader. ( still on slot A ) Rebooted but can't update ota from phone. Then tried manualy it gave error 20 message, tried with sideload it gave me unexcepted update file size message, nothing worked. Then, I'm switched slot from A to B. But after that powering up the phone, just nothing logo showed and the top left corner text say: key to shutdown....

Sadly no... I'm wrote to custom service, and after some letters and pictures they sad, send them the phone to repair. Tomorrow i will send it. I hope they could make it back to life again
Did you tell them that you have root and unlocked it? Or what had happened? I think mine has to be turned in too

Could you please tell me what message you received and the cost of the repair? I am thinking of sending mine in for repair and would like the information.
I'm wrote to them, my phone can't boot, can't connect to the pc because doesn't recognize it and wall charger doesn't works to. Boot stops at nothing logo and there's a text at top left cormer " key to shutdown ". I'm don't wrote anything about root. First letter they said make a factory reset, then I'm wrote back I can't do that and then I'm sent a picture about the problem. After it next letter, who saw the picture thinks it's maybe a technical error and if I'm accept it, send the phone to service center and they check it out. I hope they could repair it and not change it, because I haven't got any green tint issue, or any dust under back of the phone's glass... About the repair cost, if the problem can't resolve they send me a new phone. If I made a problem, then I must pay the phone shippings cost to them and back to me and the service center call or write me about the repair costs i want it or not.
Hope someone will find soliution for this or it's hardware problem.
