Connect USB Cable. Go in the Boot Loader screen (Hold down camera button, power button and soft reset until the 3 colours display appear). Run Rom upgrade Software.

don't worry, your device isn't bricked as long as you can run it in bootloader
check in WIKI if you have G3 or G4 Prophet
I'm the exact same situation.
And wiki didn't help so far...
Take it easy and flash the ROM as described. Use any WM5 ROM compatible with your device, but preferrably one with no vendor ID. In case you cannot update normally use the RUU-No-Vendor-ID application found in the FTP.
As said above the device is not dead, it can be recovered.

Bear with me on the dumb questions
It looks like I managed to re-install
Thank you for your help. I installed the rom dezzer advised (post 7 of this thread) and it worked fine. Does that mean tha NOW i can flash smart1 1.3's?
Yep. Turn off the phone, make it sync with activesync and run UPDATE_ROM.bat.
Then cross your fingers Kidding. It will surely work. Remember to hard-reset after the upgrade.
If anything goes wrong just reflash WM5 and hard-reset. Always hard-reset after ANY OS upgrade.
I seldom activate MrTrueVGA. But tonight I did that for reading one PDF.
It leads me to hard reset the device right after a soft reset.
But the nightmare is ---
after hard reset, I press ACTION key to restore factory default as suggested. It takes few seconds to finish the default restore. Then I was asked to press POWER KEY to boot.
the device doesn't boot at all. just go back to the previous screen: 'Press ACTION to restore factory default or press Camera Key to exit'
If I press Camera Key, it just simply refresh the screen.
Seems the AMEO has entered an endless loop...
I have to try resetting the device in different way...
Now I mange to get the a dark screen as well as the ACTION key with Green light on.
any idea what mode is it (green light)?
Seems the OS couldn't startup after restoring factory setting. I guess I have to put the origin ROM back to the device instead of the updated WM6.
Continues tomorrow...
I've used it on my Athena with WM6 without a problem. Maybe something else is going on.
Is that an official release of WM6 for your device? I have no problem with MvRTrueVGA what so ever....
Have you tried flashing your device again?
I got my Ameo into a very similar loop. I took the battery out for a few minutes, then when re-inserted, I was able to "see" the Ameo from Sync Centre and re-flash the ROM...
Monocube SafeMode2 saved my butt various time with truevga..
the WM6 is download from here (t mobile version). I am looking for a way to flash back origin version.
BTW, other softwares I run after starup: USB mousr driver, WM5storage.
Sounds like the OS got killed. reflash the device
Thanks Olipro, I am a bit regret that if I had run your hard-SPL, probably i wouldn't experienced this problem.
The symptom do like OS got kill for some reason. I am wondering anyone had tried to hard reset after flashing WM6 ROM?
more update will come...
update:
reflashing ROM image solves the problem.
but i still believe MrTrueVGA caused the problem. Somehow it causes the conflict and blow up the OS.
I use MvRTrueVGA on WM5 and WM6 on my Ameo without problems.
(only smaller graphical bugs)
even changing the resolution never took me more than one soft reset
forget to mention, i use another software "scree orientation" at the same time.
maybe these two chaps don't work well together.
After (I think) successfully upgrading to WM6, I've had a few problems...
1) I can't seem to soft reset anymore (holding down Power at the top + the reset button)...it seems the only way I can now reset my unit is by physically removing the battery...
2) I can't access the bootloader SERIAL mode...I can access the options for the kernel hive and formatting storage, but no success being able to get into USB mode to reflash my unit
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I only bought this phone on Friday
1. This was hard reset in WM2003 - for soft reset just press the reset button
2. You need to press and hold power+reset+record(WMP) buttons at the same time
I suggest you read WIKI first before asking questions which are answered a million times
Thank you for the prompt reply.
I can understand your frustration with many people constantly asking these questions, but please don't make me feel like an idiot when I've actually read the Wiki and tried Googling the problem prior to posting.
To clarify, I know *how* to access the SERIAL option (I had to do it to upgrade from 2003 to WM6 to begin with). My point is that holding Reset+Power+Record doesn't work anymore. It just continues the boot process and goes straight to the Windows Mobile splash screen. The reset button, in and of itself, does nothing at all. I've tried everything from just tapping it a few times to pressing and holding it for upwards of 30 seconds...but it doesn't seem to do anything for me.
Try to hold and press power+record+cam buttons then press reset while holding those buttons.
Yeah, it does nothing...I have a feeling that the actual reset button is no longer working on the unit...not sure if that's to do with the upgrade to WM6, or if it's a hardware problem and just happens to be coincidence :-/
don't take xplode's advise wrongly. it's just that reading AND understanding the WIKI is important especially for beginners like yourself.
if you think you've successfully upgraded to WM6, it's probably because of the "Congratulations" message that was displayed... well, you're almost there, though not quite.
try to fully understand the no/yes/yes instruction in the WIKI... the reset+power+record combination is NOT what you should be doing. it has been replaced by another... here's the thread that could guide you... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327978&highlight=kitl
and here's the pertinent wiki page...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4
good luck and welcome to the BA community.
Anyway if this that you try to explain is that the hardware buttons no longer work, you can try the MTTY method, if you have read the wiki you already know what exactly to do
Thanks raymonds, I will try not to, but I just don't want people thinking I'm yet another new member that doesn't read anything before posting, because I know how much I hate that too...I tried reading up on my problems for 4 hours last night before deciding to post because I couldn't find anything else to help.
I have successfully upgraded to WM6 and went through the no/yes/yes steps - the issue is that I want to go back to WM2003 or WM5...they seemed far less problematic for my phone for some reason..one problem I'm facing now is that my BA, pure and simple, no longer recognizes that I have a cellular carrier at all, making it essentially useless as a phone. When I try to go into SIM Manager, it hangs for a while, then goes into the screen saying that only emergency calls can be made...but when I try to put in my PIN, it says "Unknown SIM error", though the SIM works fine in my other phone...
I'm trying to use the Power/Reset/Record to either try reflashing in the hopes that'll resolve my issues, or downgrade...either way, it's not allowing me to do so, and I obviously can't do this while the phone is booted into WM6. It just seems like the reset button is no longer working, since neither combination that uses it (Power+Reset or Power+Camera+Reset) works anymore.
try to downgrade with MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe, and then reupgrade, another thing you can do is to reflash the radio rom. The MTTY method resets bootloader settings which may be the solution to your problem.
MTTY under Windows XP is explained HERE
xplode, mtty requires one to do the power+reset+record combination, which he currently cannot do.
is this a second-hand unit?
Hm, there was another way to put your device into bootloader mode but i have never tryed it, in most of the WM2003 upgrades there was EnterBL.exe, and when you copy it to the device and execute it the device goes to bootloader mode...
but it also creates problems - read here
Also i had problems in the past with the latest version of MTTY (1.45) and used previous one 1.01 which worked like a charm
Sweet - thanks xplode and raymonds for your time.
Unfortunately I can't try these as I am at work right now, but I do appreciate the suggestions and will try them as soon as I get home.
If I can't get it to work, oh well - off to the service depot and a (probably) expensive lesson learned.
Please keep us updated, about your issue
Thanks guys...
So, I'm taking it that the radio stack is now corrupt, since it's no longer even showing a version number on my BA. I tried the methods xplode suggested - when I enter the unit into KITL mode, I take it I'm supposed to use USB Active as the transport method, since MTTY won't recognize a device otherwise, and my phone just boots into Windows from that point.
When I try to run MTTY though, all it does is display "kITLª" over and over again...I'm not sure if that's normal, or even how to enter a prompt of some kind...
I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should just take it to the depot, pay the $75 I was quoted, and learn my lesson... :-/
Any other suggestions, or am I just totally doing what you suggested wrong?
You do not need to enter KITL because this is used to debug your WM build using Platform builder
Just try to put your device to botloader mode and then use MTTY to instruct the bootloader what to do, or just reflash radio and then new rom
Hi everyone,
I recently received an XDA Orbit 2, literally, charged it for 2 hours, and when it was full charged, I started using it, I had it for about 2 months now, and recently I changed my home Internet connection to wireless (It's a B & G connection) so my laptop connects fine, and when I tried to connect my XDA Orbit 2, it connected and then soft-reset itself, and now it just loads the O2 screen, then Windows Mobile screen with the volume controller and I can't do anything else so here's what I have tried so far:
- Soft reset
- Removed battery and SIM
- Since I can't access phone's menu at all, I tried to Hard Reset method by holding the 2 soft key, reset, and the power button - So I get the warning that everything will be lost and to press 'Send' to continue, so I press the green key, and soft resets and goes back to the same situation again.
- The latest thing I tried is to load the Hard-SPL into the SDCard which has been formatted to FAT32, so loaded the POLAIMG.nbh into the root. and loaded the phone into BootLoader mode (Camera and reset buttons). It loads the memory card and just says 'Loading ... ' I left it for about an hour, until the battery died completely (I'm sure it's not supposed to take that long). And still the same problem.
I'm not sure if this phone is now bricked, can anyone help me plesae. I really need this to start working again, I don't have any info. on it. (Everything was sync. previously).
Kind regards,
Since you havent really messed with SPL, i would say to take it back, since its still into warranty.
Thanks for the reply, I'm not actually in the UK and will be overseas for a while. I don't really mind experimenting so I would appreciate any advise on this matter. Thanks again.

I assume just boots into bootloader and then stays there?
If yes you culd try searching out a thread on MTTY and recovery from boot loader but I dont know how well that would work on polaris as I have not tried it yet.
HTH
Leon
Thanks for the reply, I heard about the MTTY process, but I've no clue on how to do it, since the phone can't connect in ActiveSync mode. Is there a thread or WiKi guide out there?

Only in the ELF forum
Here:
I'm pretty sure you can download MTTY from here and read through how to use it.

Also it is worth checking the wiki and searching

Please do some research! I have not done this before and I have no idea what the commands do!!!

4. Now Run mtty and choose USB in 'PORT'
4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted.
6. Now unplug your device and manually reset it.

You need to do Hard Reset, all information will be wiped off. To do hard reset, hold down the:
1.Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER
buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET
button at the bottom of your device.
2. Release the RESET button, but
continue pressing the GPS/
MESSAGING and INTERNET
EXPLORER buttons until you
see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform
the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Good luck.
Hi,
I'm using an HTC TC POLARIS100. Today I upgraded my ROM and SPL successfuly. If you're still in trouble and believe the same process will help, I will let you know the process followed.
GUY
I flash this phone with a wrong image, and now only a white screen appear.
Is impossible to make any key combination to get to the "download screen" or "update via k3img.bin".
But if i connect the cel via activesync I can see it on the desktop via trueconnection or any other remote control software (the cel is "working").
Some days ago, i make a dump of this cell and I have it on my computer (via pdocread), so my idea is to use the pdocwrite to at least write the first part00 to reprogram the buttons, so i can use a k3img.bin (in chinese... better than nothing) again.
But the software says that the partition is write protected, and I try almost all ways to unlock the Extended_ROM on windows and still says that is write protected.
Can u, masters of the cell phones help me?
Im facing the very same problen, so if some more knowledged might help us.
As Beastworm already described - I am too unable to get Download mode because of wrong button mapping.
nobody?

what u do?
and, what .img u use to reflash the phone?
I installed the app, connected the phone & waited until it was recognized as windows mobile. Started the IDT before the first aid kit & used image: P638M30_TH_UI1_L12_C7_CHS_MFGW_WM650_C02SPC002R01_091203.bin (WM6.5 Chinese).
After the IDT was waiting for the phone to connect, I started up the first aid kit & simply clicked Download mode and the IDT took care of the rest.
It took me two flashes to get it right, but after that it's been working as expected.
Im not sure, but if you're running either windows vista or 7, you might wanna run the first aid kit as an administrator.
nothing, i am in windows 7 (and running it as administrator) and the download mode button is still in grey
I will search for a xp machine and try again.
btw. The 6.1 chinese rom, have a good button mapping.
Do you mind sharing that working 6.1 image? And I hope you can revive your phone with some xp machine!
let me find it.
I dumped a working 6.1 English, but only the *.raw-files. I don't know how to get them together to a working image.
It's from a 01.001.IP638 EN, RomDate 9/15/2009, Radio Version 1.07.9235, Protokol Vers. DV3.0

i have a dump of a english too. But I don't know how to convert it as a .bin too
NEWS: MY PHONE IS ALIVE AGAIN (in a windows XP machine)
but.... i flash another bad rom , and now all is flipped like a mirror (and the buttons are still bad mapped )
The K3 First aid kit don't work now (it recognizes it, but when i press "download mode" the phone don't restart). Is a very clean spanish rom of 6.1, so i think that p638chinesestuff.cab that is installed when a hard reset is done, is the responsible to k3firstaid work.
So i will try to extract it from the dump, and install it on the phone, and try to reflash again.
Why I flash a bad rom?... i have a file with the name "K3imgCHI61.bin" and I think thats was the chinese 6.1.... but not. It is the Chilean (my country) 6.1
Fine, that your phone is alive again.
I read somewhere (I don't now where) that somebody solved the problem with the mirrored screen after flashing a new rom. He made a hard reset and after aligning screen everything was o.k.
