So I installed the updated ROM and Radio to see if I could get the GPS working...
Everything went fine, I had to call Verizon to get the AKEY, but everything worked after that. Then I decided to downgrade because I thought it was running a little slow, and I didn't like all the added programs.
That was where I messed up. I did everything like I thought I was supposed to. I used the RELOCKER, and flashed the older version of the VZW rom... well atleast I attempted to. My phone is stuck at 0% flashed.
Any ideas?

It is really tough to brick a phone.
Just pull the battery and wait 3s. Then replace. It should boot back up to the last ROM installed.
The only problem with that is that it doesn't... its stuck on the bootloader screen...

1) To get the Tricolor Bootloader Screen to come up (actually this may be where you are already - if so, skip to #2). You must simultaneously: (a) hold down the power button; (b) hold down the camera button; and (c) use your stylus to press the little reset button in the hole at the bottom of your 6800. This should pop up the Tricolor Bootloader screen if you'd installed this first, as instructed.
(2) Then plug it into the computer's USB port. Make sure that USB is NOT enabled in "Windows Mobile Device Center" (should be in your start->programs menu). Click on connection settings and turn off the checkbox for USB connection.
(3) Then run the 3.17 Rom loader. This will get you back up and running.
(4) Then start again and run the 2.09 or 2.17 Rom loader. It should load without a hitch.
(5) Then you will have to re-setup your your MSID and MDN. You will need your EPT.
3.17 Rom Loader? which one is that?
I know I am asking a lot, but I have been searching all day, and I am a relative n00b...
so Thank you soo much for helping me out...
I have the same problem as you. Relocked the phone and now I can't do anything. Tried flashing to different radios, different roms and nothing. I did get 1 rom to go to 1% complete but it told me I had the wrong vender(sic) or something

Hmm -- well maybe I need more info.
Which ROM did you 'upgrade' to?
I upgraded to the new one with GPS... I did everything in the steps, the way it said to do it...
Then I wanted to downgrade, and I saw how some1 else did it with relocking it and downgrading it, so now my bootloader reads:
TITA100
SPL-1.06.0000
CPLD-9
and it still says RUUNBH in the right corner...
Oh, and the SD card TITAIMG.nbh thing doesn't work either, unless I am doing it wrong...
The error I get is a 262 error, if that helps...

Think of it this way ...
There are 'basically' three parts to the software that runs your phone.
1. There is the SPL / bootloader.
2. There is the Radio ROM.
3. There is the System ROM.
2 and 3 above will not load or work correctly if #1 above is bad or the wrong version.
Therefore, if you want to go back to 2.17 then the easiest way to do this is to:
1a. Get the ReLocker (which is SPL v1.06)
1b. *Don't worry that it stays in the boot loader mode.
2. Run your offical carriers released ROM, Sprint 2.17 (which will include both the System and Radio ROMs).
3. Reload your custom apps.
4. Sync.
5. *Remember from the previous article above, you will still need your EPST, MDN and MSID codes.
That's it.
If I reset, right before I get the tri color screen, it flashed a grey screen that says "no image file" for a second.

I think my 8125 is bricked. I've never had a problem flashing roms until yesterday I tried Farias Kitchen ROM. I flashing went through ok like normal, but when it restarted, it gets a little bit after the second splash screen. The green windows mobile with farias names at the bottom loads, then the topbar of windows mobile loads with the start button, but then nothing else.
I've tried reflashing it in forced bootload mode as well as doing a hard reset. no luck. The update utility keeps telling me that it is an invalid update tool, please get a newer update utility. I've tried taking the battery out for a while and from there doing forced bootloader. Still no luck
Any suggestions?

Well, it sounds like it may have just been a bad casserole you cooked.
But, you could probably even re-flash using your carrier ROM. This one is just a fool-proof way to get you back on your feet. This ROM is just G3/G4 independent and doesn't include a radio, ipl/spl, or extrom.

I put the phone in bootload mode by pressing and holding the camera button, then resetting by pushing the reset hole which then loads it to a colorful screen which I assume is the bootloader screen. Then I just connect it and try to flash it using one of the ROMS i have. Thats how I did it the past couple of times.
What upgrade utility are you using? You might wanna try the one attached! It is the 'NO_ID' version and up to now it flashed everything! Simply extract the zip file to a folder on your desktop, then copy your nbf file in to it too and run the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"
hello
im having the same problem, i just tried it, didnt work for me
Did you CID unlock your phone before trying to flash it? Did you also try to flash it with your shipped ROM again?
My phone also appears to be bricked. It locked at 99%, and after trying the steps indicated in the core2.0 installer, it closed, and I'm having difficulty figuring out the next step. As is, I get ERROR [264] CONNECTION. Is there a way to get the phone functional enough to load an OS? I've been searching these forums for about 30 minutes and haven't found what I'm looking for. There should be a recovery wiki.

I've forget a (important) detail. You've to manually put your device in bootloader mode (by pressing the camera button and push and do a soft reset).
As soon as you see the colored bootloader image, release the stylus from the soft reset hole. then release the camera button. Your device will stay in bootloader mode.
Run the ROMUpdateutility.exe (of course, your device must be connected to your PC ;-) )

Yes well, I didn't put mine into bootloader mode first (cause I did it before this thread said to do that) and it failed at 99% and went though the HTC recovery instructions! Thankfully though it went through the 2nd time having launched from the bootloader.
Everything is working fine... any chance that something has got screwed up though?

1) Radio and O/S ROM's here may be flashed separately, so flashing this radio will not affect your current operating ROM, just update your radio ROM
2) I've just upgraded to radio 1.58.21.54 from 1.58.21.23. Everything works OK, I feel the WLAN is more efficient but too early to say what real differences may be
3) Instead of Async, I just use a FAT32 1Gb card with the *.nbh file on it with device in Bootloader mode
Is there any soulution to remove "Test Only Not For Sale" (Radio: 1.58.25.14), when the device starting?

1) I hope you have first flashed Olipro's HardSPL version2 (only needed once but first) !! Then you can update/regress ROM's as you wish
2) Using Spb Backup after ROM flashing (either radio or O/S) works ok. It does not backup the actual ROM, but rather the directories in root, registry, PIM databases etc ... this backup is something I do after major changes like ROM upgrades anyway
after my phone rebooted once the update was complete, it wont get passed the "at&T World Phone" white screen... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!! i was using a stock at&t pure with the stock rom. i can not upgrade hardspl or ANYTHING any suggestions on how to get my phone to boot? hard-reset went through with no signs of failure but it still will not boot up after that finishes... sorry if its something im overlQQKing, but i just cant figure it out. n yes i have researched although obviously not enough at this point. Thanks to anyone who can help in advance. forgive my stupidity!!!

noone?????
The HTC Pure updates hosed my phone too, I had already applied hard-spl to my Pure and i've flashed it with dozens of roms. Since I was currently using one of the "Stock" AT&T roms posted on XDA I figured I could apply the updates. Unfortunately after applying the update my phone froze at the boot loader. I was forced to flash my rom using the memory card method and then restore a backup.
you could try putting the phone in SSPL mode manually, (reset button+volume down), the run hard-spl hard-spl in manual mode.
you can then flash your rom using the memory card method. (FAT32 formated memory card, rom file renamed to topaz.nbh copied to root of flash card, reset button+volume down to enter SSPL, power button to confirm flash).
All this assumes you've already tried to hard reset your Pure (reset button+vol up+vol down)
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunatly, i tried the manual method and after it hanging at 0% for about 5 minutes, i keep getting error [262] update error.. (communications error) is this becuase i can not sync with mobile device center (win7)? I really dont want to just have to toss the phone! I have had an at&t tilt, at&t fuze, and now the at&t pure, and this is the only phone i have had this problem with for some reason...
Try Unplugging Your Pure From the computer Take Out the Battery Put the Battery Back in Mean While Restart your computer and Press Power And Volume Down At the Same time on your Pure If its on the colored screen your good,..Make sure your system is online and your not downloading anything and plug in your Pure to the computer it give it about 2 minutes to download the HTC USB driver then once its done your phone will say USB on the bottom of the Red Green Blue And White four color screen Then open up one of your ROM's and Flash it,....Do You Have Windows Mobile Device Center Installed?
If Not here is the Link
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
If you do already you need to uninstall the Driver update for windows mobile media center then install it again .
i can get the bootloader screen just fine! i just can not get hardspl to flash onto it. it sits at 0% every time. the phone will not boot so i can NOT get into mobile device center. The tri-colored screen comes up with no problem and it says USB on the bottom, so the drivers are already installed. I even tried hard-reset and still no luck
There was an additional cab file I needed to install to HSPL the Pure
"enablerapinew.cab"
basically the machine just would fail to load the HSPL without it
but it still functioned afterwards, does yours?
Do a search on XDA find and DL the cab (or I could attach a zipped copy)
If you can still access the device,
just copy enablerapinew.cab to any temp dir on the device
the execute it through fileexplorer
then go back to installing the HSPL (mine then worked fine)
If you haven't already, You should go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
you'll find troubleshooting info and a link to the extra cab there
If you really are bricked at this point , it sounds like nothing has actually
been changed on your device yet? its just frozen should be still under warrentee? Unless anyone else has a better suggestion you should be
able to return it for exchange to ATT
Good Luck
KJL
It sounds like Windows is not properly recognizing your device when it is plugged into the USB port while in SSPL mode.
Have you tried different ports?
Is there another computer you can use?
another thought about returning under warranty
on the boot page of the stock Pure it indicates HSPL 1.83.000
After you update the HSPL it will say HSPL "1.83.Olinex"
this normally an indication of a successful update,
but it will probably void your warranty if they just look at the boot screen
This is true for all Pure (and Tmobile Compact V) Rom upgrades
The Stock Pure came with 6.5 and therefore the 1.83.00 HSPL
The Diamond2s did not, so their solution which reverts to 1.63 <?>
will not correctly revert to 1.83.00 on the Pure.
No way to correct this yet as far as I know,?
All the "reverts" are geared toward the Diamond2s, not the Pure.
But If your boot screen indicates 1.83.00 before it freezes
I'm fairly sure its still entitled to a warranty repair/replace
How could they tell the cause of the failure
was a reburn as opposed to natural causes?
Good Luck
KJL
When you put the phone into a manual bootloader mode... Mobile Device Center becomes obsolete.
HardSPL is only needed for unofficial roms. Forget HardSPL for the time being. The goal here is to get your phone operational. Just download the official HTC WM6.5 WWE rom and flash that. Put phone in manual bootloader mode and run the Rom installer.
As long as your phone is in bootloader mode and says "USB"... then your set to go.
Another solution is to try another PC. You'd be surprised how often that will resolve your issues. Perhaps find an XP machine and install Activesync (so it loads the bootloader USB drivers). I had to do that on several occasions when my main PC refused to flash my mobile device.
I did both of the updates htc has for the pure. Both worked fine. I am on the origianal rom. It does reboot your phone and stays on the white screen for a min then it loads the update and the phone starts.
The offical ROM comes back with a wrong vender ID error I guess cause its a "pure" and not the HTC branded "topaz"... NOW what should i do??? Seems like i NEED hardspl so i can flash any ROM, as from what i researched, there IS NO AT&T Pure rom that has been released. I still cant figure out why a hard-reset will not work though.... This is REALLY starting to get me angry!!!
Just for reference, the Pure's ID is TOPA210 32M
SPL-1.83.0000
The official hotfixes worked fine for me as well. Did you apply the hotfixes on the original ROM that came with your Pure?
Also, does the official HTC Touch Diamond 2 ROM work for you? If so, the hotfixes for the Pure are irrelevant, as are any future updates released for the Pure. You should look for updates for the Touch Diamond 2 on the Worldwide HTC site.
If you needed to do a warranty claim, the closest you can get to returning your phone to stock/shipped form is to use the ROM dump using HardSPL and hope they don't notice that the SPL is different. Currently, there's no way to return the Pure back to completely official software.
A hard reset simply wipes everything off and restores everything back to what is contained in just the ROM you currently have on it. If you've flashed your phone at all, you've already wiped out the original ROM that came with it.
It is still the STOCK ROM. I have never flashed it yet.. The topaz rom will not flash due to a vender ID error. The spl is still stock also... i think thats is why i am having this problem. I bought the phone off craigslist so returning it to AT&T is NOT an option either way. My only solution is to find a fix. (or trash it) I really appreciate all of your suggestions and input so far. You guys are by far the best board around! I am a LONG time follower, but a few-time poster. Obviously i have little to contribute to the board.
Can I trouble you to dig up a few version numbers? It'd help evaluate your situation so we can see which options are best for your case.
ROM version? You can find this in Device Information. Start --> Settings --> System --> Device Information
Bootloader version? Do a soft reset while holding down the volume down button on the side until a screen with red, green, blue, and white, ordered top to bottom, shows up. It should be the second line starting with "SPL-..."
The ROM is the STOCK AT&T ROM (again...) I CAN NOT go to start;.... because if you noticed in the first post, the phone will not boot past the white "AT&T WorldPhone" screen... the spl is stock also incase you missed that part. (1.33.0000) I have never flashed the divice. EVERYTHING IS HOW AT&T SELLS THE PURE OUT OF THE BOX! NO MODS. NO FLASHED ROMS. NO HardSPL... NOTHING! STOCK!!! (for those overlooking the details in my previous posts) I have no doubt you guys (n hopefully a few girls ) will help me fix my issue. I'm just REALLY anxious for it to happen sooner than later!
Have you tried downloading the official rom here on xda and renaming it to TOPAIMG.nbh and update using the sd card method?
Here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600339
The download is in post #1
I have downloaded the official ROM. Although I thought it is still concidered "custom" and that you need spl updated to install it... Am I wrong about this? Also, by using the SDcard to flash, do I NEED to have hardspl on the device? If yes, I can not use this method, as I have stated before that the spl is still stock and NOT updated in any kind of way. NOTHING on the phone has been updated or flashed. Will this method still work then???? I am at work for 3 more hours and then will go home and try it either way and come back to update you all on the results. Again, THANK YOU for your continued support in helping me out!! At this point, I will send a donation via paypal to whoever can get me out of this hole!

I am at work for 3 more hours and then will go home and try it either way and come back to update you all on the results. Again, THANK YOU for your continued support in helping me out!! At this point, I will send a donation via paypal to whoever can get me out of this hole!

You can flash hard SPL the same way by renaming the .nbh file to
TOPAIMG.nbh

I have downloaded the official ROM. Although I thought it is still concidered "custom" and that you need spl updated to install it... Am I wrong about this?

Actually that is supposed to be an officially signed rom. If that is true it will work with the stock spl. It will either work or it won't. Also, as stated in the response after yours, you can apply the hardspl via SD as well.
Hello everyone. I have a problem with my new Hero. It's fresh, I haven't root or up rom yet. Only unlock it with a code bought from Internet. Yesterday, my nephew (4yo) used it to play some simple games. When I got it back, the battery ran out. So I connected it to a charge and turned the phone on but it stucked at the boot screen, only displays the "Hero" line. Nothing worked (touch, buttons). I had to take out the battery to turn it off.
So, I tried many ways: took out the battery and put back, took out the Sim card, sdcard, battery and put all back, etc. Nothing works. I decided to hard reset the phone by pressing Home, Return and Power buttons. After few seconds of erasing data, it told me to press the Menu button to restart the phone. I pressed the Menu and again, the anoying "Hero" line appeared.
I assumed that while playing games, my nephew might press some buttons to ativate or erase something that I don't know. So I ask you pros can you guess what is the problem and if you know it, what can I do to get my Hero works again? Many thanks to you all!
Don't turn it on but charge it up until you think its full then try to boot again.

I'va tried this way too, still no work. Thanks anyway.
right this way may work but you will lost all your data.
turn the phone on as best you can do and leave it on, plug into a pc and try to reinstall the RUU from HTC's website (latest rom) this will wipe everything and restart.
That should work but you would lose everything.
The other way is to try to use adb to control the phone.
Yes, I was thinking of reinstall the RUU too. But the latest ROM in HTC website is 2.73.61.5 but mine is 2.73.73.x (It's a HTC Hero from Orange - France). Is is safe to downgrade the ROM?

no harm in trying.
Can you not find the RUU for your orange France phone? i.e. the same one you were already on.
OK I will try with the RUU and report later if this works or not.
I think Orange France has modified the original ROM of HTC.

Really?? How you manage to get a 2.73.73.x
I tot the latest build for the roms was 2.73.61.5...bizzare
Anyways it should allow you to downgrade fine because i remember i did it to return from 2.73.61.5 to the older rom because i wanted to root it...suprisingly i didnt have to use the goldcard method or anything to downgrade

I don't know Now I cannot turn the phone on to verify but I am really sure because of the repeatation of the number 73 (the last number, x, I don't remember though)

From the thread for your rom:
INFO / CURRENT ISSUES & SOLUTIONS ***PLS READ THIS***
*This ROM require at least radio v2.07. v208 is highly recommended.

There would be a radio on your device from your original rom, it's probably just the wrong version. As stated, for that rom you require either the 2.07.50 or 2.08.50 radio. Follow the link in my signature and flash the radio exactly the same way as you flashed your rom.
OKay i got all that but i cant flash it because the phone is stuck at the white htc boot screen so the customRuu doesnt recognize it.
what do i do now? im stumped.. is there a manual hard reset key press or something?
EDIT: I figured out how to get into bootloader and im now putting the right radio on it, lets see if this works

Just pot your phone in bootloader mode by reseting while presing volume down button and after that flash the proper radio.

I sugest you to flash back your original rom by sd card and restart the whole proces once again by flashing the radio first and after that the desired rom.
By flashing the original rom trought sd card metod you will have to reinstall HSPL.

okay thanks will try that !

One more advice...before flashing anything read as much as you can and ask as many questions there will be someone to answer no mather how silly( no offence) is the question.
