Loading a ROM onto a phone that won't boot. - P3600 General

Hi,
I suspect that a faulty ROM programme is keeping my friend's HTC P3600 from booting up properly. If he holds the Windows key (bottom left) at the same time that it boots, it will boot (most times). I can see it on my computer in as much as the driver loads, but it drops before I can get sync to see it.
Is there some way of hacking into it to load a new ROM if it is not seen by sync? Or is this now a brick? Thank you in advance,
WMT

Does the phone go into bootloader? Power+Camera+Reset, resulting in the tri-colour screen? And does this go USB when plugged into the PC?
If Yes and Yes then it should be possible to load a new ROM.

Flash Rom Help PLEASE

I have a Dopod 818pro that was flashed with the wrong ROM and now all I get to is the DOPOD splash screen. I can get to the TRI color screen by pushing the camera and power button.
I have tried hard reset but seems the OS is missing from the phone.
I have the original ROM for my phone on my PC but can not use active sync as the phone does not go further than the SPLASH screen.
How can I reload my original ROM using the SD card.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Canada59
use the tricolor screen even though active sync doesnt see it it still flashes but u need to use the flash upgrade wizard and not the cli interface one
Worked for me but i cant sae it will work 100%
Where do I find the flash upgrade wizard?
When I plug usb in, i get usb on the white band in the color screen
Tried to run the update using RUU and get ERROR 260
Thanks for your help in this
Yeah RUU same thing i was meaning that one cause theres another that uses cli but its a bit dodgy
RUU Wizard should work it never detected ma G4 but it flashed it anyway i was well chuffed cause i thought i had bricked it
I just tryed the app without the phone connected and it gave me error 260 so maybe try different cable or pc cause i had a issue with xp not detecting my phone and i had to reinstall xp just to get active sync to work properly
The main problem is that I had a bad flash, now I can not get pass bootloader screen, PC does not see device, active sync says not connected. there must be a method for loading the NK.ntf file from sd
Not came across anything like that as the SD card driver would be loaded at boot with the OS and in your case theres no OS booting it would be hard to sae it can be done but i bet someone will prove me wrong lol
Good Luck mate ill keep an eye out for anything like that though
Thanks for the help....phone is useless at the moment......

Frozen on blue 'Windows Mobile' screen

Hi,
I've been reading through these forums and am getting very lost as to what to do.
I have the Orange SPV M3100 and it won't boot into windows. On switching it on, it does the orange bit: at the bottom - "m05 s04 b06 d1.23" and 'No GSM' flashes up briefly before the freeze on 'Windows Mobile' loading screen.
On pressing 'Ok' and power button together with a soft reset, I get to the tri-colour screen and it says "HERM100", "IPL-1.01", "HERM100", "SPL-1.04", and either "USB" or "Serial" depending on whether or not it's USB'd to a PC port.
I've tried the master reset - top two buttons and a soft reset, followed by 'R' to confirm a full reset. It immediately said 'done' or something to that effect, but still freezes on 'Windows Mobile'.
All the help threads here seem to indicate that I need to have this phone running with Active Sync on the PC to transfer files to it in order to refresh the ROM but Windows [XP] can't see the phone because it's not finished booting.
Please please please can someone give me a nudge in the right direction?
Many thanks
Dave
as you said ok and power together with soft reset action brings you tri colour screen. At that stage you plug in to active sync (4.5) and ensure you have .net framework installed on your PC.
with the tricolour screen, plug PC to phone and run the exe file from one of these ship ROM http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
you should then be able to get an OS back to your phone. Then get this one on to your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
after that you can flash what ever rom you like make sure you follow the dr's suggestions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1990320&postcount=6

Will this remove all data from the phone, like contacts, settings?
If so, is there a way retrieve them before reinstalling OS?
Thank you.

Well if your phone is semi dead, you can't really retrieve any data other than the ones on the SD card.

Hi there, well, I'm back after months of forgetting about this but still hoping to get it to work. Thanks for the above reply, but that method of putting software on still relies on getting activesync to communicate with the mobile phone via the usb cable - my phone doesn't. windows sees that I've connected a usb device but active sync gives up trying to talk to it... any further ideas greatly appreciated...
Best regards

help me - Frozen operator screen, unlocking, flashing and usb connector.

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.

The info on my boot loader screen reads.
VOGU100

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.

No radio

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.

I assume you mean a hard reset to completely revert your phone to factory settings.
I also assume that the two soft keys and stylus in the hole is giving you the yes/no question.
The alternative could be to try:
Start>Settings>System (Tab)>Clear Storage (Icon)

cheers mike...im constantly finding the whole experiance frustrating with this phone...might stick it a jify bag to you to upgrade

The tri-colour screen is bootloader. Once in bootloader connect your device to your pc. The bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. Once usb' is shown you are able to flash rom

It is normal procedure for activesync not to be running when in bootloader as phone is not booted up. To flash a rom all you need is phone connected to pc via usb cable. You do not need activesync.
Put phone into bootloader. Bottom of screen should say 'serial'. Now connect phone to pc via usb cable. Bottom of bootloader should now change to 'usb' after a few seconds. You are now able to run ruu file from pc

How to fix an HD2 that Freezes at the splash screen and won't boot

HI,
I just had this problem and I saw that a ton of others had it too. It was where my phone would stop at the windows screen and not boot, and my PC wouldn't read the phone so I couldn't load a new rom or Hard SPL. How I fixed it was by getting my phone into bootloader mode, (the multi colored screen). Here's how to do it.
While phone is Off:
Hold Volume down & press power button
While phone is On
Hold Volume down & press Reset Button (meaning the little yellow button by the battery that you have to press with a pen to soft reset it)
Once your on the bootloader screen, plug your phone into your PC, you will hear the ding that the computer recognized it but your Windows Mobile desktop software will still say your not connected, don't worry about that,, you are connected. After that, just pick whatever rom you want, then just install it like normal. and it works. If your not running a rom, do the same but install hard SPL instead of a ROM.
I hope this helps,
As long as your phone turns on at least to the opening screen there is hope.
kn0t.
i had that problem, my phone was stuck on stock together splash screen, but I just called up tmo and they have sent me a new hd2.
Three words. I LOVE YOU! well not really since I'm not gay ha!

Ok first off what ROM do you have and what SPL does it show when you are in the muticolor bootloader screen? Secound if you are trying to flash a ROM yse right clicking the .exe file and selecting run as adminastrator is a good idea. l
I had the same problem.. what usually helps for me is when it gets stuck.. pull out the battery and give it a solid 15-20 minutes.. and then turn it on and do nothing up until after it has booted
i do the battery thing but i cant go on doing this , i put a little txt or phone call and the phone goes bonkers and heats up,nightmare!
ok on the tri colour screen it says
PBB110 HX-BC
SPL-S.08.0000 8G XE
MICRO(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH)
SERIAL
AH!! just got into the boatloader screen !! by pressing volume up and down together~! rest it! but i need to wait cos ive pulled the battery again!!!
I am having the same issue. I had a android rom then was finally able to flash via sd the stock rom, but it would just freeze on splash screen when trying to boot. Now when I try to flash rom again it will start and freeze on 1%. Any suggestions?
Now when I try to load rom via usb it starts and then freezes on 1%. Then will say communication error and then when trying to boot phone it says software issue and now I cant even get a rom put back on! Please help lol

Ok try going to windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download and install the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) , wich ever one you have to have for your computer, and install it on your computer as they have updated USB drivers for your HD2.
have you tried loading a rom from the root of your memory card LEOimg.nbh?
i have this problem too...but what is worse is after i went to splash screen and connect my phone to pc, my pc wont detect my hd2...so i cant flash a new rom...
ps : im on stock rom bought this almost 2 years ago if im not mistaken

You need to put your phone into bootloader then your computer will recognize it. Hold the volume down button down while you power on the phone and the multicolor bootloader will come up. Next connect your HD2 to your computer via your USB cable. Wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader changes to USB and then flash. If you go to the device manager of your computer while you see USB on your phone it should say HTC USB Sync if you want to be assured that you have a connection to flash with.
