I'm in Deep Trouble

I need some help...I'm freaking out...
I cooked a ROM with dcd's version 1.6.9 for BELL a few days ago and it was wonderful and worked great.
Today, I tried to upgrade to version 1.6.10 and I f___ed something up.
It starts the htc boot up screen as usual, then the Bell screen comes up as usual, then a Sprint screen comes up briefly and then the Windows Mobile screen comes on and HANGS........
I have tried cold reboots, and nothing. I cant connect to it with USB.
I can kick myself for making an error because I was rushing......
Can anyone please help............................

Search the forums here, there's a way to have to phone boot into the bootloader where you can reflash the phone.
Cheers,
Tom
P.S. Have you tried hard reset?

If I recall correctly isn't it power, camera reset button????

Hard Reset:
With the Sprint Mogul I believe its holding the 2 soft buttons, the ones with dots on them, above the Red and Green phone buttons. Holding these down, push the reset button with the stylus and hold the two soft buttons for a few seconds, until something comes on the screen, which I can't recall at the moment....

Help!! Tmobile Wing Dead!

Hi,
Yesterday, all of a sudden, my Tmobile Wing started vibrating and it wouldn't stop. I took a look at it and the front two lights displayed red and blue during this vibration episode. The only way I could stop it was by taking the battery out. After reinstalling it, I did a soft boot and it turned back on and worked perfectly fine for about eight more hours. Then, last night, it started vibrating again on it's own so I did the same exact thing as earlier in the day.
This time, it did not respond to a soft boot. It won't respond to a hard boot either. It won't take a charge (or at register it's taking a charge). Nothing!
The only thing that displays is a little BLUE light on the keyboard where it says, ALT. If I remove the battery, the light goes out. Once I insert the battery again, the blue Alt light goes back on. The phone is completely dead otherwise.
I have not done any hacks, updates, changes whatsoever. It didn't get wet and was not dropped.
Any possible ideas what the little blue light is supposed to mean? It's got to be some kind of service code or something? I'm pretty sure the battery still has a charge, but I haven't tried a new one. I even tried the plugging in the AC adapter and the phone still wouldn't respond at all. Is there any reason to think the computer would recognize it with the USB cable when it won't even power up?
Any solutions or where to turn with this thing? I think the little blue ALT light must signify some error code possibly......
Thanks.

it's the ALT key..
so you can input the blue characters on the keyboard.
you're phone is possessed.. sorry

can it go into bootloader mode(hold camera key and pole hole on side)?
if it can just flash a new rom into it or the original tmobile stock rom.

Have you hard-resetted your phone?
Which ROM are you using?

mv3, the answers to your questions.

what cube did you install?
well install ftouchflo config by schaps and enable ftouchflo
i suggest you uninstall your cube and install slithers cube here.
then either get ftouchflo config or get the _ftouchflo_config.txt file from the windows folder and make the down-up gesture to be slithers cube.

uhmm...no.
hard boot does not = hard-reset.
boot = to load your device.
there's no such thing as a hard boot or is there?
i assumed this person meant a power cycle..because if the device is not booting even after performing a hard reset command via hardware keys..blablablah..
saying you have a wing does not mention which of the stock ROMs is on the device.
so yeah... my questions werent answered.. :/

I might be using the words 'reboot' and 'reset' interchangeably (incorrect or not). What I have attempted to do is a soft reset by depressing the little hole by the volume control. This is what worked the first time for me. The phone will NOT respond to that now.
In attempting a hard reset, I pressed the two buttons on the front marked with a '-' at the same time as depressing the same hole. Nothing responds to this at all. Is this the corrrect procedure for a factory reset?
I'm not sure the exact ROM installed. I have not changed it at all since the phone was purchased, so it's original. Since the phone doesn't even work now, doesn't seem like I can find out the ROM version.

continue holding the 2 soft keys, don't release. a warning should appear.. if you press the 'Send' key... the send call/talk/etc button.. then it should initiate a dealer specified ("hard")reset.. if you press any other buttons, it will ignore the attempted hard reset.
if that doesn't happen.. then that's very uncool....

Well, after trying just about everything, I've pretty much accepted there's got to be some sort of 'short' to the motherboard. I think the ALT light constantly on signifies the phone thinks that key is indefinitely in a depressed state. Or something like that...........

same thing happened to my phone. does anyone know if there's a known fix for this?

Need some help, can't get into bootloader

Hey everyone.
I've followed the guides on trinityguides, installed Olipro's Hard-SPL 1.2, installed new radio, and then proceeded to install a new rom with WM 6.1. Since it hung on startup, i've tried a different rom, but with similar results. Then i tried to make a hard reset to see if it helped, but still freezes.
I've wanted to restore the original rom, but now i can't get into bootloader!! I can get into the hard reset menu, but if i hold the buttons to get into the loader, nothing happens!! I've searched a bit around the foruns, and read to leave the phone without battery for a week and try again, just did that and didn't help...
I'm really out of ideas. Did i kill the device? Is there anything that can be done? All i can do now is turn it on, shows some windows loading screen and nothing happens.
*EDIT - When the screen dims down, does any button work to light it up? I've noticed that when i press the camera button it doesnt light up, but it does with every other button, including the screen... Maybe its just the camera button that got stuck/broken? Anyway to "unstuck" it/check it?

I opened up the phone, and the camera button was indeed broken. I soldered it back into the motherboard and it's working.

Jade clone hard reset issues

Hey guys,
I think there are some issues with the recent clones not hard resetting. I was a very happy jade clone owner until it happened to me as well. My phone stopped booting and I wanted to hard reset but it wouldn't let me. It seems I'm not the only one either;
http://www.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/Forum.25045~threadid.439141
http://www.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/Forum.25045~threadid.464585
I suspect the [green + red + on button] never worked for my clone in the first place and this one has a different button combination but I never tested it before running into issues. We know there's a few different versions of the phone. Mine has the following specifics;
- Unlike other phones, when starting up, mine shows the words "smart mobility" before showing the windows boot logo.
- The phone says that it has a QUALCOMM 7225 @ 528mhz processor (this could perhaps be spoofed in windows to make it look more like a real jade?)
- Mine had a menu option called "GPS Setting" in the settings menu while some other people don't (may be pre-installed software, something to do with A-gps)
At least two things that could be done (maybe more?);
1. Would someone with a working phone similar to mine (especially if it says "smart mobility" at boot) to test the [green + red + on button] hard reset method? Someone else will have to tell you if you can cancel out of hard resetting after testing because I have never been successful.
2. Perhaps someone with Chinese knowledge could look on the chinese forums like 999ppc.com if they have something to say about it. Or maybe ask the Chinese sellers. Most webshops seem to be resellers and know nothing about the product.
Just when I started falling in love with my phone, she dies a horrible death. Oh what tragedy I would appreciate any input you guys might have. Thanks a lot guys.

Interesting info
Guys, I found some interesting information;
Holding green + OK and then pressing power brings up the "calibrating" screen.
Holding red + OK and then pressing power brings up the "downloading" screen.
Does anyone else have this too?
In both modes you can connect the phone to USB and Windows will try to recognize the phone but fails. I highly suspect they are both meant for sending data from PC to the phone and vice versa because the phone turns off as soon as you disconnect the cable. Anyone know what these modes do? Can this perhaps be useful for recovery?
Also, wasn't holding green + OK and then pressing power supposed to be the way to install a new Windows Mobile rom? It seems more and more likely that this phone has a different hard reset command but I haven't found it yet...
This is my first PPC so I would really appreciate any input you guys have on this. Thanks.

Solution found
After a LOT of trying out different button combinations, I finally found it. I was convinced that the button combinations on this phone were simply different and they were!
To hard reset the phone to manufacturer settings:
volume down key (on side of phone) + RED key + power button
You will see a menu where you have to press the up-key (not the volume up key but the up key on the directional pad) to confirm. Next it will look like the phone is starting up and hanging as usual, but just WAIT. Do NOT pull out the battery or anything. It is working. After a short while the phone will turn itself off. Now press the red reset button next to the battery and it will start!
BONUS:
You can install a different Windows Mobile rom with the following key combination:
volume down key (on side of phone) + GREEN key + power button
You have to have the rom (SMART.UPR) on your SD card (non-SDHC, fat16 formatted). I did NOT try this but it should be relatively safe as you can always do a hard reset if you screw up. Since these phones are different, the normal roms *might* not work, but I suspect they will. Personally I don't care for WM6.5 so I'm not gonna try it.

Glacius0,
Thanks for the info. I believe I've the same version phone as you do, got mine for a week now - only setup phone, wifi, weather so far.
I see the same features you've listed, i.e "smart mobility" at start up, QUALCOMM 7225 @ 528mhz processor? and "GPS Setting" in system settings.
So that's the reason the various hard-reset button combos in manual and DX forum don't work. Your button combo worked on my 2nd try. By the way this is providing the same result as the "clean boot" routine in system settings for me.
Unfortunately both methods of hard-reset are not removing the pre-installed touchflo version V1. I'm getting errors installing version 2.0 over version 1. I guess V1 was burned/flashed-in with Win6.1 in the ROM? I think my next step is flashing it with a clean Win6.1 in order to proceed.

After a hard reset it will automatically start installing a bunch of software like opera 9.5 and what not. Maybe you can cancel this by pressing the red button or the X in the corner and then it won't install touchflo. Personally I use SPB mobile shell so I didn't run into any problems. Installing a fresh WM6.1 oughta work though. Let me know how it went.

mine work when i press green button + red button + power
but it show an screen saying
UPDATE MENU
1-Update logo
2-Update OS
3-Update Eboot
4-Format User Space
5-Return
i tried every option in the menu
i put the smart.upr in the SD fat16 but it doesn't work

I have the same Qualcomm 7225, initial logo is Smart Mobility and then HTC (or maybe HTC comes before Smart Mobility), clone bought from DX.
Have not tried any flashing yet.

Oh no, after I installed an app, my phone is now stucked at the HTC logo (after the Smart Mobility logo and the little music played).
I have the Qualcomm 7225 version frm DX.
I remove battery and reset, but the phone stucks at the HTC logo (after the music).
Doing ALL the reset keys combination in this thread did not reset the phone (whether the phone is on or off before the combination is pressed and hold down).
Can somebody please let me know what else should I tried to reset/reflash this phone ?

Hey Sintoo,
I just saw your thread on Dealextreme as well. Your phone does seem a little different because I don't get a sound or HTC logo when booting up. Interesting that "volume UP + volume DOWN + power" does something for you. I would never have thought of trying that. It doesn't seem to be the combination to hard reset your phone though. It does however show that there's some functionality to be found if you get the right button combination, so I suggest you try a lot of them. I'll give you a few pointers (the phone should be off btw, but I think you know that by now):
1. It seems that almost all button combinations involve 2 buttons + the power button. So try this first. Later you could try more buttons but it's not likely that this is necessary.
2. The 4-point directional pad (around the center button) doesn't seem to be used too often but sometimes it is, so try that too after trying the other buttons.
3. Some phones also involve the red reset button inside the phone, but I don't think it applies to this one because all it seems to do is cut the power from the battery. You might wanna try it as a last resort.
4. You could write down a scheme on which you mark all the button combinations you can try. This sounds excessive but I had the same problem as you and I almost forgot to use the volume buttons because I was just trying random stuff.
Your next best bet is figuring out how the updating menu that you found works but I think that's gonna be a lot tougher to figure out. It seems like you either got the wrong rom file or the wrong file name. Try placing a dummy SMART.UPR file and see if it does anything different. Also there's a program called TouchRUU which supposedly let's you update your phone through USB in some cases but I've never gotten it to work. Good luck and make sure to report back here for future users with similar issues!
PS: Don't worry too much because dealextreme has a good return-policy, so even if you can't fix it I'm sure they'll take the phone back and replace it for you. I've been buying from them for years.

..
Thanks Glacius0.
I will keep trying.

Chinese clon HTC Pharos P3470 / dopod P660 Hard Reset

Finally, and after a lot of web search and tries, i could discover how to make a hard reset of this chinese clon of the pharos.
it was hard for me, cause im newbie, so if someone else needs to hard reset his phone, here is the anser!
1.- enter the "Calibrating..." screen by turning the device on with the call key (green) pressed, u will see a white screen with an image of a screwdriver and a key and the "calibrating..." letters, here u can release the keys.
2.- then press both red and green keys, and without releasing, press the back "reset" button. then release the reset button, and next release the other 2 buttons.
in this step nothing seems to happen, thats why its hard to find this is the right way to hard reset this chinese device.
and thats all, your phone starts normally as the first time!
u also can do a hard reset from the windows settings, but this time my windows hanged up when loading
i also discovered that turning this device ON with the end call key (red) pressed, it enters in a white screen with an icon of a hdd with a green arrow facing down to the hdd with the "downloading..." letters under it.
i think this could be the bootloader for this device, but i dont know how to go beyond this point.
the pc cant install its drivers when i plug the usb (and in normal mode it syncs well with the ActiveSync).
maybe i should put the rom files in the SD card, but i dont know where (in wich folder) or wich files...
SO if someone knows how to flash one of this devices, please tell!!
hope someone find this util, and sorry for explaining it sooo long, english is not my mother talk, so if someone wanna translate this (and explain it shorter) feel free to do it!

Hard Reset
hello!
I also have a problem with this phone clon HTC P3470. I installed HTCHome 2.1 and since then it is restarting or freezing before I can do anything. And even with yours instructions I can't do hard reset. I think that I am doing something wrong and I beg you if you can provide me a pictures where to push, because I can't make it.
Thank you!

RE: pictures
thats the same i tryed to install, and as the htc intructions to hard reset it didnt work for that phone i thougt it was lost.
i think maybe different manufacturers build this phone, so maybe yours have a different key combination to hard reset it.
did you reach any of the "downloaing..." or "calibrating..." screens? or you didnt reach that screens neither?
i will post some pics as soon as possible to help you, but in the meantime, you can search and try different key combinations for different phones, it didnt work for me, but trying and trying i discovered this one.
i found a page with a list of the most common combinations for different phone brands and model, but i dont remember its address, just google it, maybe that helps you!

Thank you for your help!
Unfortunately I didn't get any any of the "downloading..." or "calibrating..." screens. When do I need to do hard reset - phone is off or must be on (windows are loading, after that it freezes and restarts).
"1.- enter the "Calibrating..." screen by turning the device on with the call key (green) pressed, u will see a white screen with an image of a screwdriver and a key and the "calibrating..." letters, here u can release the keys." I can't turn on my device with call key, only with power key. And (sorry) but I didn't find reset button, thats why I would like see pictures.
I will try more combos.
Thank you for now!
