HTC touch frozen on bootup - Touch CDMA General

all i get is the telus boot screen and thats it. is there anyway to flash the rom onto it? or restart it some how?ive tried to take out the battery and restart it that way and still boot screen.

I think you can do a hard reset by holding the "power button", "end key", and pressing the reset "pinhole" at the same time.

have you tried getting into bootloader by pressing power/camera/reset?

when did this start happening?

The same thing happened to me today... Im frozen at the htc smart mobility boot up screen and nothing works!

if your phone was older and you tried to flash a GPS rom without installing the GPS radio then you would freeze up a the bootscreen
the remedy for that would be to install the 3.42 radio ROM

I think I have same problem.
Anyone have a link where I could find that & install instructions to make sure I don't screw up more?

This happened to me too. I ended up having to reflash it like everyone said.

You are in the wrong section altogether. Go to this part of the site http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
@OP,
First things first, did you unlock the device before flashing? Also, are you sure that you have a Vogue and not an Elf/Elfin?
A quick way to get out of your issues would be to try to flash the phone back to stock. Put the device in bootloader mode and flash a stock rom for your device.

bricked my vogue

i used imcokemans unlocker (which i have done before) and blee0125's kitchen and really screwed up somewhere!

Do a camera power reset and try again.
i tried that and it didnt do anything at all. isnt that just where you hold the end key and the side camera key and stick the stylus into the hole?
if so, it have any different effect than the standard soft reset

Hold down the power button and the camera button at the same time until the tri colored bootloader comes up. If that works, try flashing the stock rom for your carrier.
If that doesn't work try the same steps with the memory card removed.
If that doesn't work try to do a hard reset and see if that will take you to the bootloader.
Also, what are the numbers in on the bootloader...are you sure your device is unlocked? I believe it should say... SPL-00.40.coke... on the 2nd line if your unlocked.
You shouldn't need to connect to activesync to reboot. After you run ImCokeMan's unlocker you should be unlocked until you run it again.
As I said in the last post, all you have to do to get to the boot loader is hold down the power and camera buttons at the same time. This will put the phone into the boot loader and you should be able to flash back to the stock rom and start over.
It kind of sounds like you relocked the phone and then tried to boot a custom rom.
sorry i wasnt saying i needed to connect to activesync to reboot, i was saying i needed to connect to activesync to flash, and it wouldnt boot up so i couldnt get to activesync.
and i did to imcokemans unlocker, and everything went fine. when i was setting up the device (ie. setting password, time zone, calibration, etc...) i just decided that i didnt need to finish that as i was intending on flashing a custom rom anyway, and so any settings i put up the time to set would be erased.
having said that, i went ahead and starting flashing a custom rom right from the wm welcome screen that you get on a first boot.
thanks a LOT for your help, promptness, and attention
So are you back up and running?
well, now i am. i just took a 30 min drive down to the sprint store and got a replacement :S
thanks a lot for your help though, im scared i may really need to refer back to this thread later. but if i do, at least i know i should be able to fix it!
thanks.
well, i just did it again. i must be doing something wrong in the cooking of my ROMs...about to try out your solution..hope it works!!
wish me luck :S :S :S :S
well i was able to re-flash, but, unfortunately, it is stuck in the same "htc smart mobility" screen again. i think i have been able to narrow it down to the oemizer app. i must be doing something wrong in there.
oemizer http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=100746&referrerid=10115
ill keep cooking and trying tonight until i find what it is the problem is i guess, thx for your help guys. especially you 360discgolf.
well, after cooking and flashing too many times to remember this late, all i can do is ask for help when you guys wake up and check this thread.
in the last couple of builds i havent been doing anything with oemizer at all and it still hasnt been working, and i dont think i am doing anything extra in buildos that i havent done before in successful ROM images...it seems sort of erratic.
any suggestions/hints/comments would be great, thanks a lot.
you can't just hold the two buttons and press the reset. You have to hold the two buttons at the same time, then while holding them, use the stylus to hold the reset until it restarts. If you just tap the reset button while hold, it doesn't work.

i'm having a similar problem. my attempt at flashing didn't go over that well and now when I turn off the device, I can't turn it on again unless I do a soft reset. I tried doing the power/camera thing but all it does is ask "are you sure, yada yada" and then the devices turns off. you were talking about a stock rom? where would I get one and how would I re-flash the rom (assuming that's the problem in the first place.).
Thanks!

what carrier are you?
EDIT: also:
1) what os version are you running? (build number)
2) what radio are you running?
3) what bootloader are you on? (can be accessed via holding power + camera button and poking reset hole)
4) what are the orange numbers in the very bottom right of the screen when you are booting up?
these kinds of things all need to kind of jive for the sleep function to work correctly

If you used the imcokemans unlocker a 2nd time, I believe you re-lock your phone.
You also mentioned that you tried to flash the ROM from the Welcome Screen. That certainly won't work. You have to be at the unlocked rainbow bootloader screen which will load when you run the RUU or when you press Power-Camera-Reset. If it doesn't go into bootloader then you've probably re-locked your phone.

Stuck on HTC Logo Screen

I just tried to flash a new ROM by putting it on SD CARD...
i pressed my volume up key and power button for 3 seconds and now my phone is stuck on the HTC logo screen...
it did even go in the HSPL screen
whatever i do it reboots and gets stuck to that screen...
pressing the red button at the back made no difference
what can i do ?
I have the same problem. The phone is stuck on HTC logo screen and is not seen by the computer so I cannot reflash. Any idea what can be done???? Mine got stuck after I installed task 29
(1) Take out the battery / Unplug the phone
(2) Put the battery back in
(3) Turn it on and keep only Vol Down pressed
You should get a tri-color screen. Connect USB. Once it says USB at bottom, you are good to go with flashing.
hard reset
these solutions don't work. I had the same problem. Anyone has an idea?
any ideas about that? anyone found the solution?

put phone into bootloader requires you to press volume DOWN while power resetting the phone. Make sure the ROM is named LEOIMG.nbh and is on the root of the sd card. Make sure the sd card is 8gb or smaller unless it is a class6.

you need to put your phone back into bootloader, volume down while powering on the phone. then after you see the tricolored screen, connect it to the usb.

my HD2 is a T-MOBILE usa with :
radio 2.08.50.08_2
2.08.HSPL
3.14.531.1 elegancia rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651729)
i love my hd2 and i want it back...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!!

I flashed my phone and worked great, then flashed the phone to a different ROM Kumar premier and the phone was just shuting off by it self and now the phone is stuck on the page that has "core cell" design, with the red writing in the bottom left corner what do I do. Please help.
reflash
try to reflash the stock rom first to remove the core rom boot screen. after that do a task29 then flash the kumar rom again
OK so I am new at this where do i get a stock ROM and what is a task29?
Ok so Now I cant even connect to the activsync to try and flash it again.
Task29 basically wipes all traces of the ROM/OS (not the radio) off the device. Now it's easy to do, using this .exe by doloop.
(remember, afterwords you will not have an OS on the phone. Just the splash screen you're looking at now)
Here's the thread as well, might want to read that to understand it better.

no need for active sync connection, , from here on, till you fix it, do everything from bootloader. So long as it says 'usb' in bootloader, flashing will work.
OK so I just have never heard of bootloader or just never heard used like that please point in that direction. If you cant do it from activsync then how do you do it if cant connect to the computer.
hold the volume down button while turning on will get you to the bootloader
and the stock rom you're looking for is in the the sub forum list.
OK so I am ready to do this but man I still have no way to connect to my computer to do it. The phone and the computer are not talking without activsync, so I am not sure how to do it without this HELP ME PLEASE.
OK so i messed this up bad a taks29 this thing without a stock rom on it and no it stuck on that damn screen and will not connect to my computer to flash it please help me
can you go into the boot loader? the tricolors screen? when you plug the cable do you see USB at the bottom? if you do then you are connected and ready to flash

Everything you are trying to do has been said in this thread..
Task29 will leave you with ONLY the splash screen (and radio) and if you don't go into bootloader when you restart (hold volume down) it will keep going to that screen and your PC won't be able to connect. So restart (power off then power on while holding volume down until tricolor screen)
All makin sense now?
Thank you so much I got it working thanks for all the help
Ok so I am having issues with the phone just shutting off and restarting while i am making phone calls. Do you think that this is the flash or just the phone itself? Do you think that it is the ROM? Thanks
try to reflash the rom

[Q] Phone locked up on boot. Did I brick it?

Recently flashed to NSFfans 6.5 WM rom. I couldn't activate the phone on my account because it wouldn't take the ##...# codes.
Long story short I attempted flashing Bigstorage_SprintTouchRom.exe to try and get back to sprint software where I could use the ## codes.
Everything went smoothly until first boot when it stopped at the "HTC smart mobility" screen. I then hard reset it (send+end+reset button on bottom) and it is still locking up on that screen.
Did I just break my phone?
Thread moved to General.
No, you didn't brick it. It simply sounds like a bad flash.
Try flashing to another rom and see what happens. Which unlocker did you have on? 2.31 or .41?
BTW, if your ## codes don't work is probably because you are using a themed dialer. NFS' rom has a folder under Start Menu that is called "Phone Codes". In there, you will find the PST shortcut, which will allow you to program your phone.
if you can get into the bootloader (tri-color screen) then you haven't bricked it.
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
How can I get to the boot loader if the phone stays at the "HTC smart mobility" boot screen?
I tried using the rom update utility but it's not connected so it won't do anything.
---------------------------------------------
Edit: Okay, I have successfully re-flashed back to 6.5. The bootloader can be accessed by turning on the phone while pressing the camera button.
I am using 2.31 unlocker. When I try and activate the phone again what do I need to change in the phone codes to make it work?
Thanks guys.

Under the PST programming, more than likely you will only need to change:
MSID
MIN
HOMESID
username and password (for internet)
You shouldn't need to mess with anything else afaik.

Details, details - how have you flashed? Have you tried flashing from bootloader? Flashing a carrier rom from bootloader should do the trick.

[Q] Stuck at bootloader at boot

Hi
A friend of mine has a HD2, never HSPL or anything and still running on 1.42 rom.... Now everytime it boots it goes straight into the bootloader. Since its never been messed around with I find it odd, seen it before with people with other phones. Would this just be a corrupted ROM and therefore it goes there, would if poss a stock rom flash be able to restore the phone, if that is not the case then a warranty return is still valid, but obv not wanted.
What do you think, will this work? I did search but everyone's posts come up with I task 29 and now stuck... etc and not from a stock bootloader as well!
Cheers any help will be appreciated, my first thing I will get him to try is a rom reflash but that will be tonight, I'll update on the progress then!
First thing I would check is if his volume button is stuck for some reason. Second would be to see if it detects a USB connection, then hard spl and new rom from that point. Keep us posted.

The post above me is correct check and make sure the volume down button is not stuck/Hung in the down position. If it is stuck in the down position like it is being held down at boot then this is the cause of it going straight to bootloader at boot up. If there is no problem with the volume down button then try a hard reset of the HD2. Warning this will reset your friends HD2 tolike it was fresh out the box so any photos, videos, documents, and etc that is not on the SD card they will lose. Also any contacts that are not backed up withan app like Microsoft My Phone will be lost. To do the reset while the HD2 is off bold the volume up and the volume down buttons down and press and bold the power button down. When you see the tri color screen come up release the volume and power buttons and follow the instructions on the screen (hint: you will want to press the vume up button). Now if after the Hard reset your friends HD2 still goes to bootloader at boot up then download and flash the stock ROM for their HD2 you can find it on HTC.com but make sure you varifiy that it is for their HD2 by entering the serial number of their HD2 you can find the serial number look under the battery. To flash the ROM let the HD2 boot up to the bootloader and then connect it to the computer via USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar of the boooader screen to change to USB and for your computer to show it recognize the pbone and then run the .exe or RUU wich everone the ROM has.
Never thought of the key being held done will try that first.
Also I won't HSPL'ing as its in warranty and a half HSPL'ed phone is well useless
OK so i feel like a bit of an idiot for this one. Turns out what I call a bootloader and he does is totally different. For me Its the tri-colour screen, for him its the red/orange windows boot screen. So it was all solved by a HR. Great..
Sorry for those who offered the advice but it really was not needed. but solid advice it was, you always can rely on help in here
