Same happened to one of our units here.
Needed a trip to the service. ALWAYS take out SIM card and miniSD card out when flashing, they're known to cause random f***ups.

hi
i had similar problem but before any one can help you u have to tell us in what state exactly your device is and try to get it in to bootloader before we can help first thing is you want to check in bootloader is that if your device is hard spl (if yes then you can flash it with any rom)
the eiset way to do it is Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+com manager+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD.
u can use any (athena rom ) as long as it is hard spl other wise if not sure or any doubt use your ship rom (nbh file)
hope this helps

need experts guidence
hi @all
i also got one 7500 for repair, client told me while CID unlocking communications breaks and AMEO is DEAD.

No responce to charger, no ring
Battery is charged with 3.77vDC
Red ring comes for a sec only try to RESET the device with Charger connected
Red ring also visible as long as Battery is not in the Phone and Charger is connected.
IS THERE ANY HOPE TO REVIVE IT
TIA

Im so scared...!!

I just bought a t-mobile wallaby from here in india, And i decided there was a update available after 3.14 or something. so i ran it. But it stopped in the middle. Said 20 min but waited an hour. Then i took the xda of its cradle and did a hard reset... Now all it does is switches on and show t-mobile and the light stay on...nothing after that. I think i really messed it up. Gave it to a guy who said he could fix it but now 4 days later says he cant. Really need help on how to do it myself Please. Please help me, cant throw money away like that......can some show me step by step instructions as i am stupid with upgraded or reinstalling this device.
why have you decided that you could upgrade your device if you don't understand anything to upgrading and its consequences.

:x Forget what this guest just said we are a community who help each other out :x
I am now using the XDAII but when i had the XDA1 i had a similar problem. Got stuck upgrading. Hang onto your horses dude your device isn't dead so breath a sigh of relief. If you have a SD/MMC Card reader then use it to burn the base Rom from
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org and then install it through the boot loader(Hold the Power button and then press the soft reset button using the stylus(you will enter the boot loader mode and then follow the instructions on how to install the Rom.
------------------------------OR--------------------------------------------
Go to a shop or a friend who had similar device, make sure you have a SD/MMC card with you and then enter the bootloader mode as described above and then copy the ROM on the SD Card. Then insert the card in your device and again enter the Boot Loader mode and Copy the Rom from the SD Card to your device after you are done press the Hard reset button on your device to switch it off keep it off for atleast 60 sec before pressing the hard reset button again to switch it on. Your device will live again.
[/b]A WORD OF ADVICE
Don't touch the Radio Stack on either your device or the other one. Always select Rom only.
If you need further help with using the bootloader search these forums you'll come up with alot of info.
Let me know how it works out
one question
Thanks for the advice.....your must be the better part of the site.
what happens if i cannot get into the boot loader.
thanks again

I believe there's a way to go-back! Do a flush by pressing on the power button+the hard reset+the navigation button pressed. All at once and that's how you go-back to the original ROM. Let me know if it works and if you dare to do it anyways.. 8)

Mr. Guest you are an idiot, many of us have been at this point one time our another. This is no way to respond to a forum member in need of help.
i'm no techie when it comes to these things but just out of curiousity WHAT causes the upgrade to stop? mananmistry said he was in the middle of upgrading already; is it the rom he used or is it the connection (power flux, cable, sync, etc)? just curious... :wink:
oh and its beers for the others and the loo for the guest
update
now the thing is i got the phone back. I have connected the usb but pc cannot find device and xdatools or the rom .exe files wont install. it says "xda not found via activesync", something like that. I went into the boot loader and it said GSM ERROR and stops. have to press calender key to get into sub-menus. what is the problem. does the rom kitchen .exe files need sactive sync to be present. please can some one tell me.
do i need a sd card reader. can i not just use someone phone to put my sd card and burn onto sd...??
You are now in serious trouble, the GSM error often proves fatal for the phone. You can still flash the rom though by following the previous instructions. After that is completed you will have to try flashing a radio stack. Please be prepared to be disappointed, I wish you the best of luck. The good news is that even if the phone doesnt work you should still have a working pda.

Try to get it into bootloader ( Read the Artemis wiki as to how to get into bootloader) and if you are successful then try flashing it with the t-mobile stock rom.

Shipped ROM's in English - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Upgrades
To get into bootloader - hold down the record/voice command button (top left along the side of the phone) and use the stylus to press the recessed reset button on the lower left side of the phone (same side as the other boutton you hold down) Keep holding the record button as you hit and release the reset button, you will eventually see a screen with color bars on it. At this point you will be able to get a USB connection, but not an active sync. Try to start the ROM file when the phone is in this state and connected to your computer.
What is the original language/carrier for your phone?
MDA Compact III stops in T-mobile logo screen
I manage to enter bootloader and start flashing a ROM but I allways get a error: image file corrupted.
I think I need the original Dutch T-mobile ROM.
Anyone know where to find it?
Hi I have the same problem. I have the B&B3.7 and get stuck in the splash screen. I could enter to the bootloader mode and use some commands of the mtty.

HELP! stuck on HTC Smart mobility black screen

My phone is stuck on HTC SMART MOBILITY black screen, the one that appears right away when u turn ur phone on. I was trying to upgrade the new rom and it said everythin was finished and it restarted the phone by itself then it got stuck in this screen. The thing is that the USB it is not recognize either by the computer or phone so i cannot do anything with the computer in order to boot up. I tried hard resets and nothin. Any help or ideas welcome... thanks
have you tried using bootloader mode? if I'm not mistaken, you need to hold the Power and Camera buttons while resetting the phone. you could then try to flash a new ROM on the phone. hope it helps!
miguel is correct. Put it into bootloader mode like he said, then flash a ROM back onto it and you should be good to go. This happened to me last night and I freaked out a little bit, but everything was fine after I did this.
Help, I'm stuck too. My phone is now in a loop of the black HTC smart mobility screen. I entered bootloader menu and reflashed the 2.17 ROM. -Which completed to 100% and no luck. I've tried this twice. I've entered the bootloader and tried to flash the stock ROM. It finished, but has no radio? What shold I do, Please help!!!
I must also mention that I was in the middle of relocking the phone after I installed the leaked ROM when my computer got the BSOD.
Format a sd card to fat32, place the image on the sd card, name it TITAIMG.nbh and reset to BL it will auto flash the rom and works when this happens

By "Image" do you mean the rom .exe file?

not exactly, the .exe file is simple an auto extracting archive, if you extract it, you will get a bunch of files, one which is about 40-60MB in size and that ends in a .nbh extension, that's the one you need.
You guys are awesome. It worked Thank you!
So why does everyone mess around with "relocking" the device and then flashing the 2.17 ROM after trying the 3.16 version when all you have to do is flash is with an sd card? It's SO easy!!!! Thanks again!

I'm pretty sure that it did. When I tried to downgrade to 2.17, the flash worked, but there was no Radio at all. So I tried to reflash the 3.16 and it flashed but didn't work (endless boot to the HTC Screen over and over)
So I tried the SD card method or flashing back to the 2.17 and it worked absolutely perfectly. The only issue was that there was no MSID or MDN but I wrote those down.
Same problem, but turns off
Hey.
I have the same problem, I'm stuck at the "smart mobility" screen. But my problem is that it turns down after some sek with the smart mobility screen.

Don't Panic!
If you have the bootloader screen, you can recover from here.
First, did you remove the sim and sd card?
If so can you tell us what the screen says, specifically what SPL you have?
That helps to know if the unlock was applied.
Next , I would try to load your original ROM while in the bootloader screen.
The unlocker thread is huge but does contain the answers to your problems
and there is also a sticky in this forum detailing the same solution called" failed unlocker the solution"
I took a photo my bootloader (coloured) screen:
http://kepfeltoltes.pirateclub.hu/pics/20090106317.jpg My device doesnt say anything.
And my memory card and sim was in the slot, and i didnt remove them.
I also took a photo what the Olipro's said now, if i try to continous the flashing:
http://kepfeltoltes.pirateclub.hu/pics/20090106319.jpg
and in this mode, i cant charge the batteries.
and i dont know, where can i find my original rom
i will try what they said for the same problem in the "failed unlocker the solution" forum.
i hope it help me.
Thanks a lot, my athena is live again!!!
But the Olipros Unlockert isnt working, the installation go to 100%, the program said that the flashing is succesfull, but my SPL is still 1.1, and i cant flash any roms..
I can understand why. Any ideas?

You should find the rom here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Upgrades
You can charge the phone with it turned off and plugged into a miniusb cable
Take out the sim and sd card.
The bootloader says SPL1.1 so the unlocker hasn't installed yet so only your original rom will install

I bought a second hand X7500.

I got athena x7500, It was cid lock so i tried to unlocked it ,getting no connection error...then I found out I forgot to do kaizer hardspl....and then got error 244 ....
because I complete ignorant I done hard reset and format the micro drive....

please help me
additional info
Can get into bootloader (tri color screen) ,cannot recover old os. (black screen)
ipl-v.1.00
spl-v.1.2.oripro
battary status
p.s. forgive me english its not my native language
I managed to flash it yesterday. I had the same problem as you. It seems that u have succeeded to unlock your athena. The black screen also appeared on my athena, so i was worried that i bricked it. But then i found out it is quite normal, if your have followed the 3 steps olipro SPL. If I am not wrong, the black screen appeared in step 2. so now you flash with a wm 6, then restart from the begining the 3 steps olipro SPL. you can download the wm 6 from here. good luck.

by the way, i am completely disappointed with Athena. It is working extremely slow and it cannot play any videos. So it is a waste of money. I never expected such a poor pda from HTC.
doesn't work
wow, really? Make sure you've read as much as you can about flashing issues before you trash the hardware. It took me 8 different ROMs including 4 temporary bricks before I found the configuration that rocks this thing. My video is smooth (all formats) my camera is far better than my tilts, especially in lower light settings, and with real VGA set to 128, this screen is unmatched. Garmin gets me anywhere and I have no speed problems at all. Don't give up, people.

put your athena into the bootloader screen and connect to your computer
run the upgrade on your computer
do a hard reset , then things should be fine
you can't boot because there is no image on the athena
Almost it is always possible to recover fron the bootloader screen.

The phone should charge via usb cable , if not try a different cable.
Once the phone is charged (light shows green around the joystick nipple) another option is to flash via SD card
There is a guide to do this in the wiki
