I've done something wrong on my HTC Polaris (XDA Orbit 2) and I decided to flash the ROM. It wouldn't boot the Windows. It's stuck on Welcome screen.
After reading most of that forum I downloaded the things I need and tried it.
Weell, that's where the problems started. The PC is not detecting the phone, so niether the MTTY nor ROMUpdateUtility are able to connect to it. (active Sync is disabled ofcourse). I cannot flash the Hard SPL or do anything.
Then I tried to flash from MicroSD. Formated it to Fat32, Renamed the ROM I needed and ... nothing. When I press the camera button and the reset button with the stylo, there is a quick flash of the bootloader screen (the 3 colore screen). So quick that I cant read the 3 lines on it.
Can anyone suggest something, please.....
press photo button and hold -> press soft reset and hold -> bootloader screen appears -> release soft reset button -> wait until bootloader screen appears -> release photo button
Thanks a lot my friend. That worked fine. Now its asking me for serial. I've downloaded the original O2 ROM, verifyed it with my serial, but on the phone it dose nothing. Am i doing something wrong again?
Well, yes. I was doing something wrong. Needed to rename the ROM file with "POLAIMG.nbh". Now its done.
Thanks to everyone who shared his knowledge here in this forum.

Hi everyone,
I recently received an XDA Orbit 2, literally, charged it for 2 hours, and when it was full charged, I started using it, I had it for about 2 months now, and recently I changed my home Internet connection to wireless (It's a B & G connection) so my laptop connects fine, and when I tried to connect my XDA Orbit 2, it connected and then soft-reset itself, and now it just loads the O2 screen, then Windows Mobile screen with the volume controller and I can't do anything else so here's what I have tried so far:
- Soft reset
- Removed battery and SIM
- Since I can't access phone's menu at all, I tried to Hard Reset method by holding the 2 soft key, reset, and the power button - So I get the warning that everything will be lost and to press 'Send' to continue, so I press the green key, and soft resets and goes back to the same situation again.
- The latest thing I tried is to load the Hard-SPL into the SDCard which has been formatted to FAT32, so loaded the POLAIMG.nbh into the root. and loaded the phone into BootLoader mode (Camera and reset buttons). It loads the memory card and just says 'Loading ... ' I left it for about an hour, until the battery died completely (I'm sure it's not supposed to take that long). And still the same problem.
I'm not sure if this phone is now bricked, can anyone help me plesae. I really need this to start working again, I don't have any info. on it. (Everything was sync. previously).
Kind regards,
Since you havent really messed with SPL, i would say to take it back, since its still into warranty.
Thanks for the reply, I'm not actually in the UK and will be overseas for a while. I don't really mind experimenting so I would appreciate any advise on this matter. Thanks again.

I assume just boots into bootloader and then stays there?
If yes you culd try searching out a thread on MTTY and recovery from boot loader but I dont know how well that would work on polaris as I have not tried it yet.

Thanks for the reply, I heard about the MTTY process, but I've no clue on how to do it, since the phone can't connect in ActiveSync mode. Is there a thread or WiKi guide out there?

Here:
I'm pretty sure you can download MTTY from here and read through how to use it.

Also it is worth checking the wiki and searching

Please do some research! I have not done this before and I have no idea what the commands do!!!

You need to do Hard Reset, all information will be wiped off. To do hard reset, hold down the:
1.Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER
buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET
button at the bottom of your device.
2. Release the RESET button, but
continue pressing the GPS/
MESSAGING and INTERNET
EXPLORER buttons until you
see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform
the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Good luck.
Hi,
I'm using an HTC TC POLARIS100. Today I upgraded my ROM and SPL successfuly. If you're still in trouble and believe the same process will help, I will let you know the process followed.

Hi!
I have a HTC P3300.
I bought a 4Gb SDHC card, and it won't work. I read at the forum that I would need a different rom, so I downloaded "Artemis_Touch_4.02_Full_with_no_cube", which would have sdhc-support.
Then I executed "STEP 1 - activesync then uspl cid unlocking.bat", that finished ok, and then "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat", which stopped with an error 302.
After a restart all that came up was the boot loader. I then tried to flash the original rom (HTC WM6 Dutch) from the computer, but that ended also in an error.
I tried the SD upgrade (rename .nbh file to ARTEIMG.nbh, put it on a formatted sd-card and load it in my phone), and it finished without errors, saying I should press any key.
After pressing a key, the bootloader popped up again.... :S
Can anyone help me? I have been searching the forum and trying to get my phone to work since 21:00 and I haven't got any progress at all!
well sorry for that
did you tried to make hard reset?
and once i had a completely dead artemis.. no sign of life..but it fixed by the following..(and maybe this may help you cuz the flasheng goes not like usual)
while your mobile is off.. press the record botton and the camera and it should starts with usual sd card flashing.
for me this what happens.
the setup was in three phases as i saw... and it took about 30 mins .
maybe it will works for you
I also tried a hard reset, wouldn't work.
I pressed and hold the camerabutton, but nothing happend...
Maybe the battery is empty, so I pressed and hold the camera button while plugging in the usb-cable.
It started the SD-upgrade, and is still busy.
The update ended with a "press any key to continue".
But when I pressed a key, the boot loader popped up :S
When I tried to flash another rom (NLD-FINAL), an error occurred (I believe it was error 270, not sure).
But then the normal startup screen appeared!
I don't know how, but the problem seems to be fixed!
sorry i mentioned the wronge button before..
try to start flashing by pressing the RECORED button and the power.. while your mobile is off.
and be sure that you copied the original shipped ROM to your device (NOT elese)
As you can see in my previous post, I managed to flash the original rom.
I'm gonna try to upload an other rom some other time...
And with a patch I got the SDHC working too!
Thnx for your help!

Hey, thanks a lot, I tought, my HTC-Cruise is ready for sending to repair, but with your info, it works again. I could install the WM 6.1 again, after System hangs up while booting every time. He found USB connection on a colored sreen. Thank you very much.
Jupeli
alright.. i made a similar post to this before and i came across the wiki...
well i can't view what my SPL or my IPL because as soon as i turn the device on, all that shows is the boot loader screen and displays serial on the top with 0.16-0.90 in red characters on the bottom (I'm not sure what those are)...
here are the only details that i know about my phone:
I DON'T have hard SPL
My Original ROM i was using before was an htc windows mobile 5 rom
The reason that my phone is bricked right now is because the usb cable disconnected in the middle of the flash
I'm using Windows Vista for flashing
Computer won't recognize the phone when on usb
My phone (qtek 9600) can't load the operating system
*EDIT*
THE PHONE IS STUCK ON BOOTLOADER WHEN I TURN IT ON, NOTHING ELSE, BUT THE BOOTLOADER SCRREN DOESN'T SHOW MY SPL AT ALL.
ALSO, MY COMPUTER DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE PHONE....... MY PHONE HAS A TYPE 2A BRICK
Helping me will be greatly appreciated
come on.. I'm without a phone
Do you have a 2GB or smaller SD card? Copy a rom image to it and rename it HERMIMG.NBH
Turn it on and you might get lucky!
Just make sure its stock rom that was supplied, or the updated WM06 version as the CID should check out then...
vwkess forgot to mention, reset into bootloader, hold power, ok button and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to the tri-colour screen. If it works, follow the prompts....
Cheers...
hi,
i think i can hlep.
i had recently bricked my phone with a custom wm6 image, it worked fine for two days and then i reboot, and all i see was the welcome image, nothing else.
so what i did is -
i pressed the hard reset buttons - power + OK + SOFT RESET (Stylus), kept it pressed for 3-4 seconds, the fone rebooted, the screen was full with some colored bricks i connected my fone in USB and on screen i saw USB.
I then again flashed my fone with the working update, it worked perfectly for me, try may be you can get some luck
ps - before doing all these, i turned my fone off by removing the battery, i removed sim card and mmc card as well.
regards
That may work too, but again, try to flash with a stock rom, untick "connect with USB" in activesync and then try.
Make sure you go to boootloader screen, instruction in rajivlodha's post, before you connect to the pc.
Goodluck...
I need some help as well.
I think I may have bricked my phone. It's a rooted htc hero cdma. I'm running cyogenmod on it and it was working fine, until using metamorph to apply some changes to the theme.
I went to reboot, and it now it won't load past the htc screen. Even when i try the key combination to put it into recover mode. I didn't install a nandroid backup, and i'd be fine with just completely wiping my phone. help is appreciated.
I was trying to upgrade my ROM to windows 6.1, and something wrong happened.
the update software hangs up on 0% also in my phone, form more than hour.
then I unplug the USB cable, and connect it again, the wizard told me that process will be resumed, but the same for more than hour and nothing happened when i reconnect it again it gives me error connecting
now my device is no longer working, it just give me a colored screen and nothing happened.
is there is anyway to fix my phone.
Is there anybody ? any idea ??
This might help.

thank you jeremy,
I tried this method but it didn't work.
first i get the SD card and format it using windows (i tried both FAT, FAT32)
then extract the .nbh file from this package RUU_Elf_DOPOD_AU_1.14.710.2_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe,
then i renamed it to ELF0IMG.nbh copied it to the root of SD card, then put the SD card in my device,
push and hold camera button and push the power button then the colored screen appeared but nothing happened. i tried also press and hold camera button then soft reset using stylus but it didn't work.
am i doing something wrong
Sorry i tired you
It should work.
It should say like ' do you want to flash your phone ' , press the power key to continue..
mmm, have you CID unlocked your phone?
have you tried flashing your phone?
how can i do that "CID unlock" ?
Go to the elf-upgrading forums and flash your ipl and spl to 3.10.
Cheers.
Can you start your phone in the first place?
no I cannot start my phone. it just freeze on the colored screen
I've searched the forums and have not been able to anything that addresses this issue.
I'm running an Android Nand ROM, this is my second Nand. Ran SD versions previously. This issue began with the first Nand and continues with the second.
When the phone boots the lockscreen will function exactly once. If the screen is allowed to go to sleep or put to sleep with the end button, the lockscreen is frozen and requires a battery pull to function again (again, exactly once). Hard buttons continue to work. Hitting the send key will get me into the dialer, and from there the home key will get me to the home screen, but at that point the home screen is frozen.
I don't think it's a battery or mainboard issue, but I could be wrong. Tried to run Task 29 with no luck. Can't connect to PC to flash a windows ROM (thought that formatting SD card might help). Removed the SD card, which did not change anything.
Any help with this issue would be most appreciated
Edit. I discovered that if I use the hard send key it will wake the lockscreen which will then function delivering me to the home screen which also functions properly. Problem appear to be associated with the hard end key only.
Edit 3/19/2011: This is a hardware issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893037&highlight=lockscreen+freeze
I've determined that any hard key other than the end key will wake the lockscreen which will then function properly. It appears that the end key is either worn out or has something going on under the button such as dirt build up or bent connections. Will attempt to disassemble and correct. Will report back after.
Ok here is my sugestions and advice. First try a master/hard reset of your Andriod ROM. To do this cut your HD2 off then press and bold down the power button until the main menu of MAGLDR comes up. Then use the volume up and down buttons to scroll through the options until you see recovery and select it. This will preform a reset of your ROM.
If that does not fix your problem you can try flashing a different Andriod ROM.
If you still have the problem you can preform a task 29 by turning the phone off and putting your phone into bootloader. To do this turn the phone off and hold the volume down button down and tap the power button but continue to hold down the volume down button until you see the muticolor bootloader screen come up. Plug your phone into a computer via USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar at the bottom of the phone screen to change to USB. Then run the task 29. By the way unless you flash a Window Mobile ROM via SD card this is the best way to flash a Windows Mobile ROM, HSPL, MAGLDR, or run task 29.
Once you ha e run a task 29 (or not it is your decission) you can either reflash MAGLDR and flash a Andriod ROM again (Not sure if you will have to reflash MAGLDR or not after you run task 29 so check and see if you still have it by powering off and holding the power button down.) Or you can flash a Windows Mobile ROM by the above steps to put it in bootloader and flashing. Or you can use ASDa card to flash a Windows Mobile ROM. If you use this method and flash a official ROM it will revert your SPL back to stock and you will lose MAGLDR, if you flash a official ROM via USB you will lose MAGLDR but not nessaraly HSPL, you will just have to go into bootloader to check that. Anyway use a 4GB or smaller SD card and make sure it is formated with Fat 32 and then download a Windows Mobile ROM. If the ROM shows up as a .exe when you extract it from the zip file then rename the .exe to .zip and right click the file if it is not a .exe then just right click it. When you right click the file it will pop up a box with options select view or explore wich ever one you see and look for the file with .nbh at the end and rename it to leoimg.nbh. then copy the file to the SD card and insert the SD card in your pbone. put your phone into bootloader but keep the volume down button held down until you see searching on your phone screen and then release the volume down button and the ROM will flash.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Thanks T-Macgnolia. I will try this sequence tonight. I did discover a workaround (see my edit of original post). It appears the problem is solely associated with the hard end key. Still not sure if its a hardware or software issue. But should have a better idea after I try your suggestions.

I have the same problem with the hard end key for about 2 weeks. Now it's not working with all hard keys.
