Hey guys i tried flashing my rom using the Shelltool. I loaded the two cabs on the device and put it back to Tmobile 2.26. While i was in the shelltool it told me to do a hard reset and i think the phone was frozen (it didnt go to the normal colorful screen like usual) so i took the battery out of the back and powered it on. I left the software running like it said but it just froze up.
Now my MDA wont move past the Tmobile screen. I REALLY need a hand with this because this phone keeps my life in line! I dont even think ill be able to get up tomorrow because all my alarms go off my phone
Let me know if theres anything i can do otherwise im looking at a Motorola A1200 :-(
kind regards,
Eddy
Hi there,
Not familiar with Shelltool. I do most of my flashing using ActiveSync. Have you tried forcing the phone into Bootloader Mode (hold the Camera button while turning it on). Worth a shot.
If t-mobile was the original ROM on the phone, then just flash it again using the exe (or RUU if you extracted the files from the exe) instead of using shelltool and see if that brings it back to life.
well its stuck on the tmobile splash and shows no actual connection to the machine would it still work?
If you can get into bootloader mode then you should be fine. Just put your device into bootloader and flash wizard love rom or the rom that your device came shipped with.
Good Luck
looks like its working guys but its most likely still going to look and be WM5. Im still willing to try and get WM6 on it tho. I have the roms but its just not working any ideas?
Well, if you're flashing the t-mobile ROM right now then it is going to be WM5. Since you now know what to do if the ROM your loading doesn't stick, try flashing the ROM you were trying to flash again. By the way, what was your IPL and SPL before you flashed it the first time where it didn't work? If it was less than 2.xx then that was your problem most likely. If you're now updating to the latest t-mobile ROM the way I told you to (using the exe or RUU) then your IPL and SPL now should work fine with WM6.
Well I just finished upgrading my MDA to WM6. Here's what I did. First off I
fould out that you need the phone CID Unlocked for it to accept the WM6
ROM. Follow the instructions on this thread by Dr. Puttingham.

This should get your MDA ready provided it is a G3 (thread will tell you how
to tell the difference.) Then follow the directions on mfrazzz's thread:

I had problems with my MMS after the update but after re-installing the WM6
ROM and installing the CAB files by Lurch anf FZZF I got that problem
squared away. Believe me when I say I know what you are going thru. I
was fiddling around with this for about a week. Luckily I am on vacation and
I had plenty of time to read and decipher alot of the info I found. Good luck
and remember to READ, READ, READ. BTW, props to all that contributed to
these fine tutorials and for this awesome ROM. I have it running on my MDA
for three days now and am very happy with it. I am also using the 3.08
IPL/SPL which seems to give me better reception, which my wife seems to
appreciates
Ok my mogul went dead before I could get it plugged in, so I plugged it up come back later to cut it on and it goes to the plain HTC screen and hangs... I tried a hard reset same thing, tried putting the latest DCD rom back on it and same thing.. Can someone help me... the only thing it seems to be able to do is go into the BL mode and the hardreset mode.
FYI.. Mogul has been running for a week or more since the unlock. And I was so pleased with the new proformance. Thanks for the help.
I had the same thing happen to me this morning... and I just barely installed the sprint 2.17 ROM, and it seems to be booting just fine. You could try that. Thing is, though, I'd expect DCD's rom to work just the same way, so I don't know for sure what to tell you. I've got the custom BL installed, and I've been running DCDs ROM. I just decided to switch back right now because A. I'm not at home and only had time to download one ROM, didn't want to risk needing to do it twice, and B. I wanted to compare which is really better and decide why.
The coolness factor on using a custom rom is, of course, good... ;-) but I want to see what the full differences are.
Anyway, I'd try that if DCDs rom isn't fixing it for you, because when I reflashed it it came right up.

Have you tried removing the battery for a few minutes.
I assume he tried that... I sure did. Update, however... the phone worked fine all day until I had to turn it completely off, and so I just pulled the battery; same problem recurred.
maybe I need to restore the original bootloader? dunno.
Well, I'm tring to load the stock 2.17 rom back on... Took it to the store they looked at it put it in bl mode and handed back and said it was my problem since I modded it. Guess I'm going to short it out so that insurance will cover it.
UPDATE : Ok so the 2.17 rom did allow to boot back up to a normal state, so maybe there is a problem that if the phone goes dead on the custom rom that dosn't allow it to recover, kinda wierd.
Thanks for the help, I was really pissed about sprint not replacing it. (HEHE, guess thats what goes with customizing your phone)
I've got mine back up and running DCD's latest 2.1.0 and it's great.
you can put everything back so that sprint doesn't know you did anything, so I wouldn't worry too much on that score. Other than that one time, I haven't had an ounce of trouble with it. don't let this turn you sour to custom roms, you'll miss out on some cool stuff... gps, for example.
doesn't boot
please help, i folowed the instructions from this website: http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/

right now im on the touch it 4.1 and i want to go back to the stock rom. ive used the RUU but it just goes to 1% and then the phone restarts and then the process comes up as an error. can anyone help?
Have you Hard SPL'ed your phone. If you have, you need to read the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364543. This was a lifesaver when I needed to send my wing back for a replacement. It has step by step instructions for flashing Stock ROM. Just curious, why are you going back to a Stock ROM?
st
buddy ur a lifesaver!!! but actually im doing the same thing, sending it back in.lol. and yes i did hard-spl
Glad to help.
Im trying to load a custom rom onto my XV6900. I got everything together and went a head but ran into an issue. I'll start with all the phones history. I got it and then when the update to 6.1 leaked I installed that. Now just recently I started by following this tutorial http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html. I completed everything up until install upgraded radio with no problems. Then on this step I kept having an issue where it would flash loding but then just go to the boot screen and not do anything. After playing with it for a while I figured maybe the 6.1 update took care of this so I moved on. I got the same problem with the next step which after a little bit I figured out was because I wasnt formatting the card correctly. So then I started the ROM flash with no problem. It loaded and the progress bar completely filled up quickly. The issue is now it is just stuck saying update in progress and has been for about 20 min. Im not sure if its because I didnt do the radio update or if its somthing else. I figured before I do anything I would see what people suggest I should do next. Should I soft reset? Do you think its bricked now or will I be able to try another flash? Please let me know where to go from here. Oh and also the rom im trying to flash is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487

Ok, just try and download nfsfan's 6.5 rom, put you phone in bootloader mode, (power,camera, softreset) The colored icoke screen should come up. Connect your phone to your computer with your usb cabe, on the bottom of the screen it will say usb connected (or something like that). Than just run RomUpdateUtility in the zip file you downloaded with the rom. It will connect to your phone and update it. After it's done, before it loads into windows perform a hard reset (send key, end key, and softreset). Once it's doing restoring again, allow it to boot up.
Should be okay after that. I've done several of them with no issue. Sometimes in rare cases you need to flash the latest bell rom first, and than update to nfsfan's 6.5 after that. Don't worry it won't 'relock' your phone.
Good luck
Ok here is an update on the phone. I tried installing the radio update but it froze on cdma. So then I grabed the verizon 6.1 update and reflashed it. So now im back to square one. What steps should I follow from wm 6.1 to a custom rom? Do I need to do the radio update or is the Rev A. included in the 6.1 update enough? If I need to do the radio update how would I go about that? Then is there a better process to follow for the ROM install?

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you simply want to flash a custom ROM or do you want to unlock the GPS too? If you are trying to unlock the GPS then this tutorial may not help you. http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html
I assume that your phone is already unlocked with 2.31. Once your phone is unlocked all you need to do is flash your custom ROM. This is unless you want to unlock the GPS. I would not worry about upgrading your radio just to upgrade it as there probably no benefit. I wouldn’t do it unless you knew of someone in your area that had success with better signal.
If you want to unlock your GPS I would follow this tutorial. As people have had success.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
[1] Unlock with 0.40.coke
[2] Flash Sprint ROM RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[3] Unlock with 2.31.coke
[4] Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[5] Flash any custom rom
[6] Skip
I would recommend using NFSFAN’s ROM. The above procedure should allow you to use your GPS with TomTom, Garmin, & such.
do the tutorial above for gps.
and if you need more info or want stuff to customize it, go to my faq,
but the above walkthrough is the one you want if you plan to use gps.
hi all, i have a HTC HD2 on t-mobile UK and want to update my rom to 1.66 official in order to be able to use HTC messaging (currently disabled it due to known faults)
if it is possible could someone reply with instructions to how to do this and links to the ROM and any new radio i may need to install/flash with.
i have only flashed a phone once, my old T-Mobile MDA compact IV.
this would be so appreciated
p.s i cant downlload the rom from the site because my serial isnt accepted by htc
1 get HSPL2, run HSPL2, choose 1.66.hspl
2 get 1.66 wwe rom HERE - first post first link 1.66 folder.
3 using usb, run the 1.66 exe you just downloaded.
simple, eh?
Hello,
I have a little problem after flashing the 1.66 ROM for my region (east europe). The initial setup of the phone didn't start and the first screen of this setup it is showing only when I switch off the phone.
Other than that the phone works normally, but I want to get rid of the iitial setup screen when I turn my phone off. Do you know if there is a way to start the initial setup manually?
I tried flashing through the SD card and also through the PC, but the initial setup won't start.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you!

thanks for your help mate, downloaded the HSPL but when i follow the rom to the 1.66 folder there are 2 WWE 1.66 files. the first one has not many downloads and the other has 1000+ downloads. which one do i download as the file names are very similar but not the same
these two?
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
I dont know what crc signed means, but the first one (40 or so downloads) has a later radio version, and if you look it was uploaded later than the other.
To be honest, it doesnt matter which you flash, i suspect, because
1 - hspl is protecting your phone against bad flashes over usb,
2 - you can change the radios independantly anyway, so if you want to play safe, go for the high download one, and then update the radio manually.
EDIT - PS, anyone that does know what crc signed means, plz let me know.
okay cheers mate tbh i only want to update it so i can use HTC messaging, which does work on 1.66 rom?

When I had this problem, I think I just opened the notifications bar and went into the phone setting where you can choose whether you want wifi on or bluetooth or put the phone in flight mode.
After that it seemed to go into the set up.
Im going by memory so this might not be it for you, I actually gave up and went onto energy rom.
