i am not expertised on this matter but:
- did you unlock your device?
- have you tried other roms?
- did you hard reset manually it?
hey, no i didnt unlock it i realised that now. i want to reflash original rom (where can i get?) then unlock an update. i miss it already
hard reset manually will help, then you try to upgrade.
i done a hard reset many times. the 'press cennter key to reset' comes up, i push it an bak square 1. where can i get orig tmobile rom??
i'm pretty sure that the link to your rom has already been posted here several times, but i can only find the german tmob rom.
check some of the big threads about wm6 and unlocking
Hi guys,
Recently I updated my XDA Orbit with the new WM6.1 Diamondish ROM. Everything went great until I tried to install the Oops 6.1 ROM. Before trying to install the Oops ROM I tried to unlock the CID just in case (with your Artemis_USPL tool)... Half way through the setup screen displayed an error saying "Connection error... Please check the USB connection...". Just to clarify I never managed to install the Oops file.
Then I tried to install the original XDA WM6 ROM but with no luck as I got the same error again. Then I tried to start the bootloader manually (by pressing the voice recorder button along with the Reset one) and instead of the usuall 3 colour screen I got a blank white one. Afterwards the phone froze and I had to reset it so that I can use it again.
I did a small search on your website but because I wasn't able to find another similar case I decided to start a new thread.
Currently my phone works perfectly fine with my previous Diamondish ROM, but I seems that I can't install anything else.
Could it be a corrupted bootloader? If so, how can I fix it?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in andance!!!
Take out your MicroSD card and then try and flash
You were right! Once I got my memory card off my phone, the bootloader started as usual. Cheers mate!!!
Could somebody please help me?
Today I wanted to upgrade my ROM to a new version.
I succesfully upgraded my Radio and SPL, but when I tried to flas the new ROM I received an error. (I thought it was ERROR: 260)
Now Im stuck in the Bootloader and a hard reset, soft reset, or any other reset wont work.
Removed battery and started device bootloader pop up again.
Please help.
(I really don't understand what went wrong I flashed my rom before 2 times without any problems.)
Read the forum, search the internet and look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324369
good luck, it's solvable.
I just recently acquired a HTC Touch Dual and really like it but am having a few issues with it. First, I get tskschedule, repllog, and clocknot notification errors. I've noticed a few threads regarding this issue but haven't yet found a solution so any suggestions would be most appreciated. The second problem is that my battery indicator doesn't seem to be working properly, it stays at 90% and doesn't change regardless of how long I use it for. This caused the phone to die on me in the middle of a conversation. So if anyone has an idea on how to fix either of these two issues, that'd be great.
Hard-Reset or flash another ROM (for example Original HTC Shipped 6.1 or one of the custom ROMs which where offered here in your language).
I bought the device used and unlocked off of eBay, will hard-resetting it keep it unlocked? Also, I'm very much a noob to phones and don't have any clue about flashing roms, what are they exactly and how do I do it? Thanks for the quick reply.
Hard-reset = Original state of the installed ROM
For flashing there are lots of tutorials here (I don't know which is your native language, so I can't post links to some ROMs - I have nearly tested all of them ;-)). Best you try flashing first original HTC ROM. Very easy (you said it's already unlocked), just connect the phone to pc via USB and start the flashingtool. After flashing hard-reset to be sure that all settings and files were restored to original state. That's all.
Don't forget to backup contacts, emails and so on before hard-resetting/flashing! Files on storage-card will be ignored, you don't need to backup them!
im from the us, so my native language is english. do you have any suggestions or links for the better flashing tools? after flashing to my original rom, my phone will stay unlocked right? because it doesn't it'll create more problems for me then i am having right now. thanks again
My native lang is German, so don't worry about my English ;-)
Unlocking is easy, just use hardspl and uspl. I have unlocked my phone only once a time and never had problems after or while flashing (done 15 times or more!). Once I killed my phone with a bad Rom (endless boot-sequence), but you can go into bootloader by pressing "Power-Button + Camera-Button + Reset", so you're always able to flash another Rom and/or could unlock the phone again. Nevertheless I can give no guarantee.
First you could try to download from HTC website. You need the serial-no. which can be found after removing the battery. If you have a look at niki upgrading/flashing forum you'll find also links to the original ROMs.
You can also try the latest WWE/english ROMs offered in this forum at the first 1-2 pages. I tried Gullum's TF3D and Lilly's ROM, both are great and have Manilla included (if you don't like it, the old HTC Home plugin is included in HTC Rom), but I prefer german ROMs. The Niki Project Rom didn't work for me (bugs in Outlook and Office Mobile).
All Roms include the flashing tool, it's really easy to use.
thanks buddy, i'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes
do i have to use a sspl before a hardspl? i have a neon and havent yet found a sspl for it yet. how dangerous is it to use a hardspl? im very new at this so thats why i have so many questions. thanks again
For me everything worked without problems. So I can't say how "dangerous" it is. Most users don't have any problems. To be sure get latest ROM from HTC or your provider, so if any problems occur, you're able to flash the original ROM back via bootloader.
As far as I know you only need to hardspl, but I did sspl first and then hardspl.
I think we need to clear up a couple of things and kind of slow down before you brick your phone
Generally, there are 3 types of locking for these phones.
First, there is SIM locking that everyone is familiar with and locks your phone for use on only one network.
Secondly, we have CID locking - which locks the software\firmware on your phone to that supplied by a particular carrier (for example, if your phone is CID locked to AT&T, you can only flash a ROM from AT&T and not HTC or a custom ROM).
Lastly, and least to be concerned about, is Application locking. I've not heard of any of the touch duals being app locked so we can safely ignore this.
I'm guessing that you meant your phone is sim unlocked in which case, I'm 99.9% sure that none of the ROMs that you can flash will change that.
If yours still has the carrier ROM on it, it is most likely still CID locked so you need to get that off first.
Once that's done, you need to HARD SPL installed (the SPL is the bootloader bit, SSPL is just a "software" version of it that can run but doesn't install anything) If you put HARD SPL on, then it is almost impossible to brick and ruin your phone - but until that is on, don't try flashing custom ROMs or radios etc. as you're asking for trouble.
Also, until you have HARD SPL on, be careful about flashing anything - make sure you don't run apps while it's going and shutdown anything that could interfere. Take basic precautions and you should be fine.
But TBH, if you're new to these phones anyway, and the ROM is right for your carrier, I'd leave it as standard - I personally always find something wrong with the cooked ROMs - missing T9 dictionaries \ SMS not working \ MMS not working \ some other detail that was missed, and I always end up going back to either my stock ROM (T-Mob UK WM6) or the HTC Update (WM6.1) but I don't notice the difference if I'm honest.
People say that whatever ROM they have on is the fastest they've ever tried but in my experience (and I'm on my fifth or sixth generation of WM phone) the difference is marginal at best and certainly not worth the trade off of broken features and multiple reboots.
So, my advice is, by all means, have a mess with other ROMs but be careful, get HARD SPL and make sure you have a ROM to go back to.
Oh, and try a hard reset (or Clear Storage from control panel) after syncing everything up to try and fix your current problems
Cheers,
Smiffy.
i was thinking about trying a hard reset prior to flashing a rom. i cant download a rom from htc and am unable to find one from att (my carrier) so as of now, i dont have a rom to fall back on. i bought the phone used and unlocked, so will a hard reset keep it that way (basically, what will a hard reset do exactly)? i am referring to a sim-unlocked state. the centennial wireless splash screen still shows up so im guessing it is still cid locked? do i need to unlock the cid before hard-resetting it? thanks for the help
The hard reset basically wipes and user-related info and returns it to a factory-fresh state - if one ever starts playing up, this is what should be done before you flash a new ROM, and yes, it will still be SIM-unlocked afterwards. It will alos go through the setup routine again as if you just took it out of the box
There are other places to get the HTC rom from - it's actually quite a good one too as it will set up all the data\MMS settings for your carrier too.
If you're not worried about any warranty, then it's good as a fallback though search on here and see what results other people have with AT&T.
CID unlocking is fairly easy if I remember - been a while since I did it and I have a different model than you. Just make sure anything you use is listed as OK for a neon
HTH,
Smiffy.
so i did a hard reset, and there hasn't been a change in the battery issues. so maybe the battery is faulty? would flashing a different rom help or should i just get a new one? thanks again
If the ROM is at fault, then flashing a better ROM would help, yes. If the battery the faulty, then even a ROM that is much more energy efficient would help little, only delaying the inevitable.
how would i know if the the problem is from the rom or the battery? other than trying a new battery that is
aight, so i got the hardspl for the neon. will that cid unlock my phone cause i cant find a cid unlocker for the neon 300. what would happen if i didn't cid unlock my phone before flashing a new rom?
Nothing would happen. Either it refuses to flash on beforehand, or it'd stop at about 1% from the start not touching your existing rom.
Hardspl is indeed the way to cid unlock your phone, as far as I know.
Please Help!
new problem here, my new battery just arrived a couple of days ago. i inserted it in my phone then let it charge before turning it on. my previous problem was that with old battery, the amber light would start blinking but not remain steady and tell me that my battery was very low then eventually turn off. the new battery's amber light was solid and i left it plugged in for 10ish hours because the light never turned green. i finally turned it on, but eventually the same problem arose. i hard-spled it then flashed a new rom which helped for a little while. the light stayed steady and the battery status rose up until 100%, but the light stayed amber. then if there was any shift in pressure on the chord, the light would start blinking and the battery would immediately read 5%. now the new battery isn't any different from the old one. does anyone have a suggestion? it would be greatly appreciated.
Anybody? Help? At the very least would anyone have suggestions of good repair sites? Thanks in advance
Hi all...I recently bought the HTC HD2 and ever since day one I've been having problems...The place I bought it from gave me a network locked phone (to Virgin Media UK) by mistake first and I had to send it back to them to get it unlocked for me (I live in the Middle East).
One day later I got the answering call problem mentioned many times in these forums...Next day, after installing a few apps, I found out that my phone takes a looong time to boot. The initial logo comes up fine with those version numbers or something at the bottom left...After that the virgin media animations loads up and then its stuck...few minutes later I get a message saying the phone couldn't boot up and I have to reset it by pressing volume up key or any other key to cancel...I just left it as it is without pressing any keys and few minutes later it shows the windows logo and then everything starts up normally. This is the same thing that happens everytime I reboot now.
1. Is there something that's causing the device to get stuck between the virgin media animation and the windows logo? I would prefer to get this fixed without resetting the device.
2. However, if I had to reset the device will I be stuck with a network locked device again?
Here is my software versions if it helps in anyway:
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM : 1.66.351.1 (76641) WWE
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
I had this problem when i flashed the evo ROM, but i think that was because i tried to flash without HSPL, anyway all i did was flash it with another ROM and it worked fine, the best i have found and am currently using is EnergyROM Ultra.
What i would suggest to you is to either try flashing it with a custom ROM *WILL VOID WARRANTY*, to do that there are plenty of tutorials on here but basically just put HSPL on your phone then flash new ROM and radio ROm too if you like or you can send it back and see if they will fix it for you which they should because it seems like you havent done anything to void the warranty.
Let me know how if this helps and what you decide to do.

Thanks for the reply.
I got tired of waiting ages for the phone to bootup and decided to take a risk and reset it. Luckily it wasn't network locked after the reset.
I believe the app that caused this to happen was swype. Even though swype worked perfectly, it was after installing it and restarting that made my bootup take forever. Uninstalling it didn't help too. After reset, I no longer face any of the problems I faced earlier..It hasn't got stuck when answering a call (yet...) and I've installed everything I installed earlier except for swype.
