[SOLVED][HELP] Bricked my phone - Touch GSM General

I bought a T-Mobile MDA Touch (White) (P3450) elfin model today at a dutch shop called kijkshop.nl
I tried to install a custom rom but I forgot to do a USPL uprade (or something)
So now it is bricked, I get the boot loader (3 colors screen) with the following text:
IPL 2.81.0002
SPL 2.81.0000
Hard-reset won't work, can anyone help me with suggestions please?

Ive managed to repair my MDA by installing the following file, for if someone needs it:
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.1.13.52_03.08.90_BLUE_Ship.exe
Downloaded from the HTC website
Edit:
Link for download:
http://member.htc.com/downloadfiles..._2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BLUE_Ship.exe
Hope this will help some others, I guess installing the original file will help unbricking the device.

i-mate SP3 (Typhoon) Stuck in bootloader mode!

I was updating my new i-mate SP3 (typhoon) to the latest i-mate ROM 2.4.33.11 which completed successfully but now every time I turn on the phone it goes directly to the bootloader tri-color screen. I tried several times to update the ROM again but it does'nt help. It shows the proccess completed successfully but the phone is still stuck in bootloader mode.
In the bootloader screen it shows the following
IPL 1.00
SPL 2.5.0102
I even tried to flash the ROM through an image of Orange4114_ALL_SPL1010091 on a miniSD card but it gives an error message
"Not allowed update!"
Please help me figure out how to get my phone working again.
Same PROBLEM here HELP..!
Exactly the same problem if anybody can help ..please do.

sp3i stuck
Hi all,
I have the same problem, but I didn't try the mini-sd boot.
surfturtle, will you kindly send me the way?
Thanks
Hi guys...
I don't have the Typhoon and don't know if this will work for you, but this is at least how we fix this problem on the Hermes:
Enter into bootloader using mtty.exe and run the command "set 14 0" and "task 8". Phone will reboot and start OS.
If it doesn't work, then try the SD flash method mentioned by surfturtle. Keep in mind that if your device is not superCID the image file should match the CID of your phone (must be an original shipped update from your vendor). This method consist on:
1) extract the rom image from the rom upgrade exe (winrar or cabextract can be used for that) and you'll find a .nbf file.
2) Rename it to TYPHIMG.nbf
3) Format your SD card in FAT32
4) Put TYPHIMG.nbf on the root folder of your SD card
5) put sd card on the phone, and enter into bootloader
6) confirm flashing on screen, and wait until the process is finished (do not reset it, will take about 30min).
Check the hermes wiki if you need more information on any of this.
Good luck!

thanks pof,
but where would I get mtty.exe and where will I see "set 14 0" & "task 8"
thanks again.

I-mate ROM
Hi, I did the upgrade through the PC but the device info still shows the old ROM: 2.1.33.13 No error messages and the phone keeps hanging on me.
Is this version of ROM the Arabic one? If not, can someone post or point to where I can download the arabic version? I did not find it on the I-mate website.
Thanks in advance,
I-mate SP3 (?rom 2.1.33.13)

changing splash screen

Hi all,
I have an imate JAMin with dopod ROM (RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID), RadioRom 2.30.21, extended ROM unlocked, visible and writable (I used Prophet_ext_rom_unlock.exe)
Now, I'd like to change dopod splash screen with the original iMate, but I didn't find a clear method to do this for prophet.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Alex

So, is there any way to change the screen on Prophet?

Prophet splash
I am first going to say...'I am not an expert.'
Ihave an O2 Neo with the PDA Mobiz rom. The following is the link to the forum ftp with the files i used to get an O2 splash back.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-logos
I got my official splash back by re-installing the original O2 rom then installing the PDAMobiz rom. Just my experience. I feel like I'm getting to know what I'm doing. I bricked the phone and brought it back to working perfectly so I'm not a complete idot...lol

O2 Orbit crashed after PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.0_Lite upgrade attempt

HI all,
I'm desperate...
I recently bought an 02 Orbit that was supposed to be unlocked.
So I downloaded PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.0_Lite.exe, unpacked it and double clicked on UpgradeRom_P800W.bat
A dos installation routine started, then I performed a hard reset by pressing the softkeys + stylus reset.
and now I"m stuck on the O2 logo, with some red informations written :
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
but nothing else, the device doesn't boot :-(
I'm completely desperate... I had my Orbit working 1h only and now I still have my eyes to cry.
I've tried to install another ROM like ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship, but when I launch ROMUpdateUtility.exe it says that no device is connected....
I tried to enter the bootloader but I don't understand how I could do that (by the way what do you guys mean by the record button? where is it?)
Could someone explain me how I can recover my crashed device please ?
Thanks in advance
ok I've found the record button and managed to enter the bootloader (red-green-blue screen right?). But it doesn't help. My device is not recognise by my PC anymore, no connection.
The problem is that I didn't make the procedure on IMEICHECK because the vendor said my Orbit was already unlocked. I know, I'm stupid, I should have....
Anyway, now I've my 30€ UNL file,
I've edited a ROM with the hex program, I've change "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK save exe file" (I told you I'm stupid, or I didn't exactly understood what you mean, because I don't have any IMEICHECK.exe file)
I tried to launch a ROM upgrade but my device still not be recognised by my computer, even in bootloader mode.
Same **** when I try to launch the C3v1Unlock, it says no device connected.
Please, if you have anything to help me......
After i read this THREAD who explain how to repair my problem ...But it dosent work for me
When i want to flash it, it tell me :
INVALID MODEL ID ,with : RUU_Artemis_DOPODASIA_WWE_LOVE_1.28.717.1_INFINEon gsm4.1.13.30_02.69.90_Cmp_Ship_R.exe
INVALID UPDATE TOLL ,with : _ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
And after have made the TUTO !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I saw this post on an other thread... I am having the same problem... I bought artemis from ebay and the seller told me that it was unlocked... But i can't flash it with these ROMs... Did you find a solution? Is it really unlocked?
By the way when the window that tells me "INVALID MODEL ID" shows up at the bottom and to the right of the window there is i big number... Do you know what this is?
Same problem here
I have THE SAME problemhere. The same message on the boot screen. It seems that we are not able to use our XDA ORBIT ;( any more
At least we can download oreginal XDA Orbit english or German ROM OR if someone write RUU for Xda Orbit. Than would be easy - you just go to boot loader and you start your RUU, or easily put .NBH file to your micro SD and flash it from micro SD.Too bad I can just cry over my Xda Orbit. PLEEEASSEEE HELPPP
I also heard that FTP ROM site is going down ---- XDA GENOCIDE!!! What ARE you doing people!
Try the orbit ROM on ftp if it is still there
When a seller says a device is unlocked, all they mean is that you can use any sim card of your choice. To be able to flash another rom you need to CID unlock it. For the Orbit/Artemis family we only have imeicheck selling the program for unlocking cid.
My advice would be to look for the orbit rom on ftp. If it does not work, check with imeicheck if their program works when device is in bootloader mode, and pay them and download the specific application for your device. Good luck
I had a problem with my Orbit when I tried to change the Rom to the PDAMobiz one. I ended up recovering it by...
1 - Hard Reseting it.
2 - Connecting it up to the PC then running C3v2Unlock note v2 from the the IMEICheck site. This made the screen on the Orbit go bright white.
3 - Downloading the the Rom listed in this thread and following the instructions with in the same
It means that my Orbit is seen as a HTC P3300 but it feels quicker. You do need the UNL file from IMEICheck to keep it unlocked. But it worked for me.
Yes I tried everything in bootloader mode,
the C3V2 Unlock program launched but after detecting the device, it says my device is corrupted with a kind message "[probably by your fault]" ;-)
So guys, everyone who's trying to upgrade : CID UNLOCK YOUR PHONE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, and carefully read the (excellent) tuto.
FYI, here's the discussion I had with Imeichek guys :
------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I'm a little desperate and I hope you'll be able to help me...
I recently bought an 02 Orbit that was supposed to be unlocked (I didn't know the difference between SIM lock and CID lock)
I understood, too late, that I should have ask for my UNL file prior to do this stupid "direct upgrade" I did...
Here are the facts :
1- I didn't follow the instructions found on http://forum.xda-developers.com that explained how to order the UNL file and Unlock the device unlocked
2- I downloaded a new ROM (PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.0_Lite.exe)
3- I unpacked it and double-clicked on UpgradeRom_P800W.bat
4- A dos installation routine the started, then when asked, I performed a hard reset by pressing the softkeys + stylus reset.
now I"m stuck on the O2 logo, with some red informations written :
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
but nothing else, the device don't go further
I've tried to install another ROM like ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship, but when I launch ROMUpdateUtility.exe it says that no device connected.
I managed to enter the bootloader but my device is still not be recognised by my computer (not connected message). I tried your C3v2Unlock tool but it says the same : NOT CONNECTED
So please, if you have any information or procedure I could try to fix my device, I would really, really, appreciate, especially after my 30€ contribution ;-)
Best regards

Hello,
NO PANIC. You can fix the device. You have to find the CORRECT / a matching ROM for your device. For this you have to know what ORIGINAL phone it is (O2 Xda Orbit UK?)
Tell us what device it is and we try to assist you in fixing it.

Hello,
the language is important. Is it UK version?
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
-----------------------------------------------
yes it's a UK version
-----------------------------------------------
Hello,
hmm, sorry to tell you but for the UK version there is no official ROM update available right now.
All you can to do fix it NOW is to send it to repair (service center).

Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
-------------------------------------------------
Ok,
I guess I don't have any other choice.
Wich ROM will you install if there's no official O2 Rom ?
What is the procedure, what's your adress, and how much will cost the return ?
Thanks a lot
Thomas
-----------------------------------------------------
Hello,

---------------------------------------------------------
ok thank you,
but will you be able to flash an O2 Xda Orbit with the french ROM that comes with the (Artemis) HTC P3300 sold in France ? this is exactly the same machine.
Regards
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
yes we can flash ANY available ROM to it.
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
----------------------------------------------------------
here I am,
I guess there is nothing else to do.
First I want to thank you all for trying to help, then thanks to IMeicheck, they replied very fast and found a solution, even if I won't hae my Orbit for several weeks.
2- I downloaded a new ROM (PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.0_Lite.exe)
3- I unpacked it and double-clicked on UpgradeRom_P800W.bat

Maybe you should not have unpacked the file Just clicking on the file icon starts the procedure, which does some checks before actual upgrade starts.
I have switched so many times between the pdamobiz roms and the HTC one so many times I've even lost count
It's been easy for you... because your phone was CID unlocked ;-)
Well i had HTC ROM and now i have pdamobiz... That means that my artemis is cid unlocked???
my orbit is stuck on boot screen exactly as manples'. i tried to flash pdamobiz custom ROM. i can enter bootloader. can u tell me plz to what change "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK save exe file" from imeicheck i've got c3v2unlock.exe & unl file. i tried flash it tru sd card-nothing. I've got o2orebit (ARTE200) please hlp
Psrejic, does your Orbit work again? I have the same problem. Can't get passed the splash screen because I flashed it with the PDAmobiz rom.
Only way to go is thrue bootloader. Did the SD flash work for you?
Same problem here Waiting for any solution ...
Only solution so far is imei-check service, witch will cost you: Price of sending to them: (UK) Then 20£+15£(aprox) to pay them for unlocking and repairing + sending back.
That's what I've done,
I received an email where they confirmed the reception of my device and that they flashed it with a new Rom. My device is supposed to work, it's great ! can't wait to try it.
Hi manples ...
You send it to imei-chek?
My Orbit works again! ... but not with a software solution.
I returned the phone to the O2 shop and they gave me a new one immediately. I didn't mention my PDAmobiz Rom upgrade offcourse.
It isn't the nicest way to deal with the problem, but when o2 flashes the rom on the phone they can sell it again.
Then I did the Imei-check solution. Worked and flashed the dopod rom on it.
hi to all yesterday I was your siimilar problem (I've try to install teh powermap rom...) so my Orbit O2 (original german rom) still only in boot screen, today I've try to install this magic rom:

Herald Doesn't start after a bad flash

Hi everybody,
I went to a store this evening in order to unlock my Polaris. The owner of the store has got a HTC herald with a problem that he wanted me to solve.
He tried to install another rom on his herald but, due to an unsuccessfull rom upgrading, the HTC is locked on a RGB screen (red green blue) with the only following indications:
RUU
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
USB (or nothing when not plugged)
Would you mind helping me? I tried several Roms, and there was only one that seemed to work (ROM HERALD_ smiley sWWE.gif _6.1.405.13_BUILD 20764.1.4.3): It gave me a progress bar on the HTC frozen at 0% while the upgrading tool on the pc told me that I needed a more recent upgrading tool.
What can I do?
Thanks for all the solutions you'll give me

(sorry for my bad english, I'm only a 15 years old french guy, wich explains that way of speaking english)
Before installing cooked ROMs I believe the phone must be HardSPL'ed, and this can only be done if the SPL/IPL is 4 or above - any lower/not HardSPL'ed and the device will be bricked. The screen you are describing is the bootloader, and since you only have an IPL/SPL of 1.x I'm pretty sure you can't install custom ROMs. To unbrick the device, turn it onto the bootloader and then load the original HTC ROM that came with the device.
Hope this helps,
czhang
Dear Czhang,
I tried several times to enter in bootloader, but it's impossible as it starts with the bootloader menu! I can't change anything about that, even by soft resets, reset+camera, reset+buttons...
Do ya think this could work properly? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417930
As I am stucked with 1.08.0001 SPL, There is nothing to do. All the users who tried to unbrick their phone didn't got it working, except one who changed the motherboard for... 200$ ! The price of a used HTC Herald in very good conditions!
Still looking for help
Thanks
Nounou7701
sorry to say sir but your ipl and spl should have been 4.0 or higher and also HardSPL'ed. i'm pretty sure your device is bricked. GL on finding a way to fix it or buying a new one. =D
Nounou7701, though you cannot flash a cooked ROM with IPL/SPL 1.x you can definitely flash the official ROM from HTC.
AAAARRRGGHHH! thanks to everyone for the (bad ) news... I'll try to buy a mothercard, just like another user did...
Have a nice evening

He didn't head the warning of the SPL requirements. You can easily revive it using the GoldCard method. (Search for the term "goldcard herald".)
