Have I bricked my MDA? Please help!!

Was trying to upgrade to the most recent T-mobile ROM, but it all seems to have gine horribly wrong!!!
Bought SPB backup earlier. Was feeling brave, so was gonna upgade rom and try and cook my own external ROM........... but now.....
Will not boot at all now, and a hard reset gives you the option to resttore factory settings, but then reverts to "loader" screen.........
Any help would REALLy be appreciated

I had exactly the same problem earlier today.
Unfortunately I can't remember the thread title for the solution but you will need to do a search for MDA and bootloader - then look for a thread that lets you download mtty and gives instructions involving typing set 14 0 in mtty - it should recover it fine.

SORTED!
Thanks for your help numanoids - greatly appreciated! 8)
Let the cooking commence!

ANYONE wish to help with Idiot proof instuctions

Hi I have read and downloaded POFs USPL
But does anyone have the time for a further step by step guide to stop idiots like me asking.
DO we need to put the rom we want into the folder created from POfs USPL
if so what file etc if not then please help.
Confused
Cheers

That's what I thought too but when you put a ROM into that folder it will be recognized as ROM and prefered instead of using pof's ROM. So what you need for unlocking is already there, update with the present ROM.
After you have done what was looking like a complete ROM update you can do the actual update. But after updating your USPL will be overwritten by the provider ROM you will upload to the device. So this method has to be repeated every time you want to upload a ROM that doesn't match your provider.

Newb Wing Help!

I've read tons of posts on here about flashing the Wing and I've still be unable to flash it correctly, during the flash it will get some type of ITWRITE error then my phone will have a box on the screen that says error unknown status, I let it sit then my pdocwrite pops up that error and then it will lose the USB connection to the computer and be locked up then I have to RUU it to make it work again, SPL is 4.28.0001, I'm just trying to put some new firmware on it to make it run better than the stock t-mobile firmware, all these posts are here are confusing me on what to do because some are outdated or I'll read one thing then something else I'll read contradicts itself, can someone point me in the right direction, I know that you have guides and things but half of them are outdated and I'm not even sure what the latest firmware is for things like OpenTouch and what not, I wish someone would clean up all the old posts so we don't have quite as much to dig through. Any help would be appreciative.

you're trying to flash using aserg's method, which is painfully outdated and you've got an SPL of more than 4, so you should just go ahead and HardSPL.
in the windows mobile world, NEVER read the outdated stuff, especially on xda-devs. somebody always asks some question that requires one of us to go back into the deep recesses of our memory, and that kind of question usually happens pretty often. Most answers are either really specialized or there is already thread on the topic on the first or second page of the forum.
now to answer your question. Do not touch the cable while flashing. When it says to unplug it, do so and then hard reset. Make sure you install the cabs before you start pdocwrite.
welcome to xda-devs. feel free to pm me any questions.

If I've already done the hardspl using Aserg-Hard-Spl.4.70.yan, and I'm trying to put Open Touch v6.1 Lite on my Wing, do I use the Herald-USPL-Beta3 method, I've got Open Touch v3.0 on my phone now but want to see if I like Open Touch v6.1 any better..

Nevermind I figured it out, followed the updated flashing guide.

Locking

OK did exactly step by stp as the wiki said for dooing it thru the usb But It still won't Lock...I also read the other posts...

You might want to explain the issue a little better, what won't lock?
You also might want to list the procedure that you used. Some times the Wiki might be just a little out of date. All of our faults for not keeping it up to date.

Sorry..I Set my XV6800 back to original everything (WM 6).... I tryed everything in the wiki about Re-locking my Cell...I also read a of the Posts around...

Yeah all I know is to use the Titan_Relocker.exe program. I used that when I needed to go back to stock ROM and ship it in for an exchange. I am not sure if it locked or not but I did get another phone so I guess they wiped it anyways after they fixed it.

Getting Rid Of This Stupid Telstra Software On My HTC Touch HD

Hi Everyone
I have been trying for days and reading through all of these forums trying to work out why I can't load a new OS onto my HTC Touch HD. I have followed all of the instructions on this forum and all I can get as far as is downloading the new ROM and trying to install it and it gets to 0% on both the phone and the ROM Flash utility and then error's out.
I am really tired of having Telstra crap on my phone as I am not with them anymore and want to change all my settings but I can't as it is programming with all this crap in my phone and nothing can be changed.
Could some really nice kind people out there help me out before I give up and throw this really good nice phone out.

Have you read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
What spl is currently showing on your phone and did you use uspl or hspl? Please post any further question in the thread linked above.

Try this guide. It's pretty easy to follow and you shouldn't encounter any problems.
As you have mentioned that while you run the flash Utility, it stops at 0%, therefore, it should eventually provide you with some type of error code - see this link as it lists error codes and possible resolutions when attempting to flash a rom with the RUU:
