Ever since flashing my sprint mogul with the 2.40 bootloader, radio 3.27, and dcd 2.2.6 I've been having problems accessing activesync & the usb connection in the bootloader. Ive tried toggling the advanced connections thing under the settings tab, but that hasnt helped. I feel its caused by either olipro or my usb port somehow hosed right after flashing. It seems to be that the port died, but it just seems so suspicious right after flashing. I have tried 4 computers and each have problems recognizing the usb device. It detects, but cannot assign drivers to it and ends up calling it an unknown device.
Also, do you guys have any issues when hitting the reset button? More often than not, when i reset my mogul will enter the tricolor bootloader screen eventhough i did not touch the power+camera button. I also havent found a reliable way to exit the bootloader other than hitting the reset button until it randomly resets back into loading my dcd firmware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's unnerving nott being able to use activesync or even flash my bootloader back into stock. please help!
I still havent had the activesync issues fixed enenthough i read the thread about using the cab that changes your mobile from using generic rnds to usb serial mode. I would rather know how to stop the erratic olipro behavior. If i hit the reset button on my phone right now, it will likely reset into the bootloader. I dont need to hold the pwr and camera buttons. To get out, it seems i need to have a power cable plugged in and then keep hitting reset until it randomly deceides to boot into the dcd firmware. Ive never seen such bizarre behavior that i can reproduce so cosistently. Any ideas? Please help me, its getting very frustrating. :-(

This is a youtube video showing what I am experiencing.
I am running olipro 2.40
radio 3.27.00
dcd 2.2.6 which is based off the leacked 3.16 firmware
Basically its a video of me entering the bootloader when i hit the reset button and then me trying to exit the bootloader by hitting the reset button until my mogul randomly restarts into the dcd firmware.
Also, this might belong under the titan upgrading section. If so, could a mod move this thread please?
I've had similar problems but they started when I did the upgrade to the leaked 6.0 + GPS ROM from HTC. Later I installed Olipro and it didn't change anything
i had something close to this.But mine also had charging issue.Turns out the 6800 inherited the same usb issues as the 6700.My pins weren't making contact always.I actually had my unit replaced cause of this.I thought it was a wm6.1 issue as well.but it wasn't.
@ aph
I did install the leaked stock 6.1 right before, but i didnt have issues until dcd 2.2.4. i upgraded to 2.2.6 through the sd card. maybe if we flash back to the non-leaked firmware and upgrade again? Maybe the leaked firmware overwrote someinfo that the latest firmwares dont touch upon?
would you guys mind helping me downgrade my mogul back to stock? just a set of guidelines would be nice. i dont wannt to accidentily flash something in the wrong order and hose my install.
I don't know if the phone is bricked or what. Was in the store tonight, tried to text message my wife who I couldn't find and the phone was all locked up.
Soft reset, and only the date/time loaded, nothing would run. Soft reset again, and the phone didn't load past the bright splash screen. Tried soft reseting a bunch more times, nada. Did a hard reset, first one didn't work. I think it was the 3rd hard reset that took. Phone seemed like it was back to basic WM5, would be okay. Went home, put it on the charger.
Went to take it off the charger to reload data, and it won't turn on. Soft reset, freezes at bright splash screen. Hard reset, same thing.
Is my phone bricked? Anything that I can do to revive it? Or am I SOL?
Cingy/ATT 8525 w/WM5
(By "bright splash screen" I mean when the splash screen flashes brightly. It increases brightness, but just stays that way.)
Any help greatly appreciated.
I managed to load the official WM6 ROM (spl 2.03) via the built-in bootloader. I have radio, ROM, and GSM. It boots through the ATT animation, then freezes. It leaves a black screen with a blue and green static bar running horizontally across the screen about 1/4" thick.
I don't know how to get Hard-SPL loaded on the device because the only way I can see the device is when it's in the built-in bootloader mode.
will attempt PB/KITL I guess, though I can't at this point get the phone to display the KITL info.
No KITL in the ATT WM6 ROM.
Managed to get ATT WM6 ROM through the setup, after the "customization (bloatware)" it reset, and now it sticks on the bootup animation.
So close, I have SSPL and Hard SPL on the micro SD, if only I could get to the damn file manager. If I could somehow cancel out the customization process grrr.
On power charger, I seem to be able to get through the setup after a hard reset okay. It just won't boot after the reset.
Any ideas. I gotta get a few hours sleep. Sorry if this dialog to myself is in the wrong area, I didn't notice the "bricked hermes" thread was in the upgrades, etc area.

Not sure I fully grasp what's happening here, but if you want to stop the customisation then hard reset and when it goes to the loading cusimisation stage shove the stylus in the hole to do a soft reset and it will stop it loading.
Mike
Alright, thanks, will give that a try.
I managed to run the official ATT WM6 ROM and flash it without a hiccup (twice), and task 28 in bootloader says no bad blocks. So I am confused how I can flash an "official" ROM successfully and the device still won't work. Am starting to suspect hardware failure apart from memory.
Thanks a million mate, that worked. Phone boots now, already have SSPL installed. Need to update .net and activesync for Hard-SPL 7 to run I guess. Then I have more options.
Woot! I unbricked my phone
Once I was able to hard reset and cancel the "customization" I ran SSPL, then Hard-SPL 7, then I Super-CIDed the device.
I haven't tweaked the data settings yet, but I can send/receive phone calls. Which is a coup, because this is my main line.
It runs sluggishly. I don't know if that is the ROM or the device. It won't boot if it's plugged into USB, and after flashing Hard-SPL it isn't a recognized device by windows, won't connect to activesync.
I am treating the phone gingerly right now, will try and unload the ATT wap settings cab and restore my pim.
At least now I have the option to install another ROM if it bricks on me again.
I really should have flashed Hard-SPL the DAY, the MINUTE after the warranty was up. Lesson learned.
Or not.
ATT ROM locked up on me, decided to try Schaps 4.40. Won't load past WinMo "tap screen to setup" screen. Guess I'll try something else.
For a stable WM6 rom try TNT SE. It is REALLY stable but does come with some 3rd party apps. Thought you might like to get it working though first then try the other roms and in my experiance I haven't found many other roms that were THIS stable...
Hope you get it working...

I just got a Prophet which was flashed to a WM6.1 ROM. I did a hard reset but now I get to the start screen where I am supposed to unlock it, but the touchscreen doesn't seem to work. I press the Left soft button to do the unlock process, but when I tap the unlock button that comes up nothing happens, as if the touchscreen is not working.
Touchscreen is confirmed to be alive before the hardreset, any ideas what happened? I don't even know why it's locked on startup usually you do the configuration stuff after a hard reset (Must be the ROM that's on it)
I am thinking I will have to flash a new ROM but if there is a way to fix it without reflashing that would be better.
Nevermind guys, I don't know what went wrong but a quick re-flash fixed it.
Hey there, just want to say before I tell you my problems that this forum is cool. I recieved a lot of useful information and tools for my phone here. Thanks.
Onto the problems!
Okay so first of all, I was given an HTC Vogue on the Telus network from a buddy because my previous phone fell in the pool. I was having a blast with this phone, 'twas the best thing that ever happend to me.
Now before I get into specifics, I'd like to mention that I've never been able to connect to activesynce because the computer would not recognize the USB cable. I've never been able to fix that problem.
Recently I've been having problems with my phone. Sometimes it would take a little spill onto the floor from my lap because I'd forget it's there or whatever. The back casing would come off and the battery would come out. No worries, I would just pop it back in and off I go. But this time it would boot up to the Telus screen with the buncha red writing.
Code:
M 03
B 01
P DCAAXOM-4350H
R 3.41.00
D 3.07
After that text disappears, the phone would freeze at the Telus screen and either: a) No LEDs would flash b) a yellow LED would come on c) THe phone would be left on that screen and just shut off after a while.
So i did some research and found that I could preform a hard reset. Voila! It worked like a charm and I was off using my phone again, but it had barely been 24 hours before the phone froze and I had to reset. And the phone would revertback to the previous problem. Hard reset would NOT work. It would reset the phone but still freeze. Sometimes it wouldn't even stay on the hard reset, the phone would shut off as soon as I release the SEND button after holding all fo the hard reset buttons. So i went back here and on Google to look for the fix.
I've done a bit of research on possible fixes to my phone like disassembley of the phone and the placement of plastic sheet over a processor of some sort and flashing the ROM.
So what I did was look up some custom roms and what not. From what I understand you need a CID Unlocker before custom roms can be used. I looked around and found that I need the USB connector to work for the phone to become unlocked. But this conflicts with my current situation and whenever I try to flash with a custom rom from the microSD, it takes me to the Loading... screen and stays there without any mention of flashing a ROM. This is also the case when I try to put the CID Unlocking .nbh on my microSD card.
So I ask what I can do for my phone to revive it. I've done extensive searches on any fix to my phone with little or no result. I need some fixes fast because I have a tonne of important calls coming in that I need to answer. I will not accept that my phone is dead.
Please guide me in the direction on how to unlock the CID with a microSD card. Or just anything that'll enable me to use my phone again. I con't afford ot buy another one.

I gather that you can get to the boot loader screen by the above info. While on that screen try pluging you cable into a direct USB port on the computer and then into the phone. If your phone is recognized it will change from serial to USB at the bottom of the multi color screen. If that doesn't work let me know.

I've tried that. The phone reads USB but the computer can't recognize the phone. Activesync won't work either.
EDIT
I've tried flashing with a stock rom. Everything runs fine in that screen. I soft resetted the phone and it went to the windows mobile 6.1 screen with an orange LED and just sat there, I wanted to wait but impatience got the best of me and I soft resetted and now it gets stuck on the telus screen again. Sometimes the green LED flashes as if the phone was running normally and the screen dims. I don't know whats going on.
I think I've tried that ppcgeeks thing but I can't be sure. It doesn't work because I can't connect my hpone with the USB cable.
My boot loader screen has changed after flashing the stock rom. It now reads:
Code:
VOGU100
SPL-2.01.0000
CPLD-3
same problem after flashing, just different writing on the boot loader screen.

If you go to bootload screen connect cable and it changes to USB you should be connected.

To be sure that your computer is not connecting to the phone plug usb in go to deivce manager and double check the USB if it is not connected correctly it will have a warning sign by that port. Try reinstalling updating your drivers for the usb.

You need to flash the SPL 2.31 bootloader
It appears as if it's fixed for the most part. Some minor problems but that doesn't stop the fucntionality of the phone. But I'm still pretty pissed that no matter what i do, my phone will not be recognized by the computer with the USB cable. i've tried everything and looked everywhere. Does someone want to send me the usb drivers for the Vogue? Please don't tell me that i don't need drivers because activesync won't connect. I've seriously looked all ove rthe internet for fixes and none of them work. Any pointers ro anyone want to send me official HTC drivers? I want to start using cooked ROMS.
here you go HTC windows driver will work for the vogoue
http://www.4shared.com/file/94429326/ffb09a5f/WindowsHTCdrivers.html
But unfortunately won't solve active sync problem. I would uninstall activesync and reinstall on your windows XP computer.
Quote from HTC website
Q.
Activesync is not recognizing my device, what should I do?
Be sure that you have not connected your device to your PC before you installed Activesync. If you did plug in your device before installing, uninstall Activesync and start the process over ensuring that you do not plug your device in until after Activesync has been installed.
Verify that your device is recognized by your PC in the Device Manager; if it is not, resolve that issue first.
Unplug your device from the PC for a few seconds and then plug it back in.
Perform a Soft reset on the device while it is plugged into the PC.
On the device, go to Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC and check the "Enable advanced network functionality.
crap, my phone just ****ed off again. Same deal as before. Hate being broke.

are you using a GPS ROM if so you have the wrong bootloader and need the 2.31 from this post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370.. Install the 2.31 and give it a try.
tried using 2.31 unlocker, when i run the RUU and says it will take 10 min it accually takes 10 sec and installs fast then after my phone restarts bootloader still says .41
You need that SPL 2.31 for that ROM

This is a quote from the facts thread for your ROM
First go here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370 and
READ the hell outta it until you have it step by step.
(BTW use the 2.31 unlocker regardless about the GPS thing)
OK, now that you've read that (happy dance time)
Download the 2.31 Unlocker and NFSFANs WinMO 6.5 ROM.
Here is a good link for the boot loader. unlocker.

yeah still can't get 2.31 to load on my phone. i tried to flash the stock alltell and sprint roms but at 29% it freezes or has recovery issues and will not go past 29%. flashed dcd 0.2.0 and got it to load! bootloader still shows .41 but now when i boot up phone it says in red at bottom of HCT boot screen.

Who is the original carrier You will need to get that OEM ROM and flash it. Then run the 2.31 unlocker follow the directions you can use the bootloader on the factory rom I have done it with sprint and alltel Vogues. The OEM ROM will reinstall your radio then you canuse the unlocker. The .41 unlocker is for non GPS radio and ROM combinations.
Guys,
I have an interesting issue that I hope someone can help me resolve. I recently upgraded the rom on my blackstone, and it appeared sucessfull, at first. A few hours later, it looked like the phone had done its normal "screen blank" from non use, however, i could not get the display to return.
I have done everything I can think of to recover from this - removed the battery for DAYS at a time, replaced the battery with a new one, etc..
If I power up the phone, I can use the pocket Controller-Pro s/w to see the device, but i can not see the display on the device itself.
I think I need to restore the FACTORY boot loader and rom, but I am having problems finding a method.
Any Advice?

Personally I would try and get it into bootloader and flash back stock rom, but as you only have a black screen you can only guess its in bootloader. Either turn on device whilst holding vol down or let phone boot up and use SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to force it into bootloader. Then restore stock SPL and stock rom. When phone is connected to pc via usb you'll know it's flashing by watching flash % on pc screen

Thanks. Does anyone remember/have a link to the "factory" spl? I have the stock rom for the phone, but im not sure about the spl.
Kind of a noob question but, does SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe work with other versions of HTC phones? I ask because while I have a Jade clone, I will soon be upgrading to a Blackstone clone.

You don't actually need to go back to original SPL, just to a stock one, i.e. latest 1.54.0000 would suffice
Read bottom of first post in this thread. Stock SPL's can also be found in first post
