I wanted to remove all the contact from my HTC, so following some postings on the net, I renamed my pim.vol file to pim_old.vol and turned my phone off, then back on. Apparently it should then create a new pim.vol file.
However, my HTC has been stuck ont he Windows Mobile boot screen for at least 10 minutes now.
Is the phone screwed, or would you expect it to take a long time to reboot?
Thanks.
Also, it made a 'pleep' noise when it brought up the Windows Mobile screen. I don't know if that is significant?
Hi there
Did you try soft reset, hard reset, take the battery out ? If yes can you get into bootloader and be ready to flash another rom ?
Hi,
yes I have tried all of those things.
Even after a hard reset it does the same, gets to the Windows Mobile boot screen and stays there. I don't think it gets far enough into the boot to connect it to a PC, Activesync said there was something missing and couldn't connect.
Hi
This is strange as you just renamed a windows file which should be corrected by a hard reset
Hard reset again and be patient (give it some time )
if not corrected Try flashing a rom from SD card
I left it for an hour after the hard reset, and still nothing. I had to take the battery out in the end to turn the phone off.
I have no idea how to flash from a ROM on an SD card?
I think you'll find the answer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721
Good luck
If you hear the beep sound, you should be able to plug in your USB cable and activesync will know that your HTC is inserted.
I have tried that but ActiveSync says there are components missing and then won't connect to the phone.
Reinstalled Activesync?

My o2 neo got stucked on the o2 reset screen.After going through this forum i came to know that few others too had this problem, so i went ahead with flashing of rom (RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_ Ship.exe) as suggested. But i am having a problem connecting my o2 with my PC using activesync 4.1 as well as 4.5 as it is required for the process. I tried all the option for connecting it through activesync, but it failed to connect. can somebody please help me with any kind of setting that is needed to rectifying this problem, I have also tried some windows firewall setting but it also failed to connect to my device to my PC. Pls pls pls pls somebody help
Ok, let me see if I understand you problem correctly:
You reset your Neo, and it won't boot past the O2 splash?
This kind of problem usually results from installing a program that runs on startup or changing some vital registry settings.
Have you tried hard resetting your device to solve this? It's simple: press and hold power + comm manager + camera the press reset. You should get a black screen with white text asking you to confirm clearing the device. All data and programs you installed will be lost and the device will return to the state you got it in.
I am not sure why you think you need to change ROM to get rid of this problem (unless it happens often for no operant reason) but if you still want to go through with it (I hope you understand the risks involved) you will have to hard reset your phone first so it fully boots in to windows before you can connect to ActiveSync.
Thanks for replying Levenum,
I have tried to hard reset it but nothing happens, it won't go past the O2 splash screen. I have ever install any program on it, it just happen that one fine day i found that my device was off and when i pressed the power button it got stuck on the o2 screen and remained there.
I have been using this Prophet for past 3 months but i have never ever connected it to my PC for synchronization, could this be the reason for it not getting connected to the PC with activesync. if so what should i do.
Even when it is in the bootloader & i connect it with the usb cable it shows usb written on down left corner of the screen, but activesync says device not connected.
pls help...
Ok, now I know changing ROM is NOT the solution for you!
Now, sorry for the stupid question, but is your device fully charged?
Let it charge for at least 3 - 4 hours then try again - use a wall adapter not USB from PC. (These things get stuck on splash when they do not have enough power to fully boot)
Assuming that is not the issue, since it is a new device I suggest you use your warranty (I assume its under warranty from O2) because your problem might be hardware. If you try messing with the ROM you will only void any warranty you have and then you might wind up with a very expansive paper weight!
Finlay, unless you can get in to windows you can not connect to ActiveSync. There are ways of changing ROM through bootloader, but they are complicated (and I am not familiar with them well enough to help you). Please read the WiKi.
Once again, I think you should send it in for repair as this might be a hardware issue.
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.
Hi,
I installed HTC Home 2.1 Version from the following site.
http://www.pocketemu.com/download.php?view.20
After installation the device restarted and left my phone completely disabled. Nothing works, the backlight just stays on, cannot click anywhere, doesnt receive sprint connection, PC cannot detect the device so no Active Sync and hence cannot upgrade ROM aswell. Hard resets brings it back to the same screen....completely frozen.
Please help!!
Thanks,
Apurv

By hard reset, you are referring to pressing and holding the red+green+stylus in reset hole all at the same time until the gray screen appears on the screen? If so, that should be reloading your ROM and removing everything on there (basically back to first startup with the last ROM/Stock ROM that was flashed to it)
Otherwise, take your SD card and attach/access it from your PC apart from the phone, copy over the ROMs *.NBH file you want or are currently using over to it and rename it VOGUIMG.nbh and put the SD card back into the phone, power it on and press and hold the power+camera+stylus in hole until the gray screen shows up and then follow the directions there - it is referred to as flashing from bootloader mode

Thanks!
Thanks a lot! I was under the impression that putting stylus in the hole is hard resetting
I did the actual hard reset and the phone is back to manufacturers settings
Thanks
Apurv,
No problem, glad its back up and running for ya

Don't try to reinstall 2.1. Just use 1.0 final.
Hello,
I have a problem, when I connect my phone with the USB cable to my computer, it doesn't do anything. He don't recognize the phone, doesn't make any connection nor see the SD card.
I've already tried to clear the box: Enable faster data synchronization, and tried to choose Disk Drive (Faster file transfer), it all doesn't do anything.
Tried different PC's, with WMC and Active Sync 4.5, with different OS's.
The cable isn't broker or something because the only thing that happens when I connect the phone with my PC is that the orange light (battery charge) is on.
I've installed Shadowline ROM, but it did work with that rom (active sync and disk transfer).
I think it is a problem of the ROM tho, so is there any way to flash my ROM without using a PC?
Answers would be realy appreciated.
Thank you.

You can flash from the storage card, just rename the .nbh file to TOPAIMG.nbh and put on the root of your storage card, go to bootloader mode and it will flash.
Your cable can be bad and still charge. I would try a different cable.
Also try deleteing the partnership in Active Sync and try to reestablish it.
I assume you hard reset after you flashed the ROM.
I do not think its a ROM issue.
Ok thanks for your reply.
I did what you sad but when I loaded the TOPAIMG.nbh in the bootloader, it came up with an error and freezes on: Loading ...
When I restarted it It Only shows:

And then he goes to the white screen with the blue letters saying: Loading...
(I waited many times, one time for 2 hours but nothing happend).
When I put out my SD-card and the battery and connect the phone with the USB (my pc still don't see recognize anything) it will boot to the exact same screen as I typed here above but then he stays at that one.
I can't do anything, already tried to hard reset him but that also didn't work.
It feels like im pretty screwed..
Please help!
Maybe you have a problem with the mini USB.
Happen to me with Touch HD.
If so take it to a reppair shop.
Well, I borrowed and USB cable from my friend and now he indeed makes an connection. But no active sync connection. I also can't see my SD card in My Computer. He still only shows the screen that I typed here above, but then under in the white area a little text: USB
What do I have to do next to fix it,
please help
thanks

I am concerned that you screen shot shows SPL 1.83.00, but you have flashed Shadowline's ROM.
It should say SPL: 1.83.00Olinex which would mean you have HSPL installed which is absolutely required to flash a custom ROM.
Did you have that ROM operational and just couldn't sync, or has the device not worked since you flashed this ROM?
Yes, I had the shadowline ROM, and it al worked good. I also could connect my mobile to my pc with the USB cable.
I don't know what happend, I didn't install any other program or something else but I suddently couldn't connect my mobile phone to my pc anymore.
But I wanted another ROM because I noticed that the Shadowline ROM feld a little bit laggy, so I found out that you can do that by your booting with the SD card.
And I know that you have to install hardSPL first, so I downloaded that one from the big post in this ROM forum from Topaz.
Booted with the SD card, and then when I started to flash the ROM he gave an error and now I have to problem that I can't do anything anymore.

I guess my point was if you had Shadowlines ROM, you were already HSPL'd, no need to do again.
Hard reset the phone and try to install ROM from SD.
Hi,
i had once the same problem. No connection with PC anywhere. I couldnt do nothing with that and was quite desperate about that.
But once suddenly it came to work again. I am not sure what made it work again but the only thing I can guess was that I took out and gave back the memory card with the turned on phone. Since then I have never had this problem again.
I wish you that this taking out of memory card helped you too.
Well, If I'm hard resetting, the only thing he does is show the percentages, then he says completed, then he reboot en I'm back at the tri-color screen again.
And I can't enter the bootloader, so I also can't install the ROM from the Sd-card.
And taking out the memory card while the phone is on also dont work
Any other options what maby will work?

Just some points;
Make sure the .nbh file is named excatly TOPAIMG.nbh paying attention to the case of the letters.
When you attempt to go into Bootloader, Holding Voume Down and Power buttons at the same time when phone is off, what screen appears?
[Q] my handset doesn´t recognize sd apps
I had the same problem as well, so I deactivated and reactivated the SD card from the phone, actually I cant take out the sd with the turned on phone. It worked once, but it happened again so i tried to the same but know the deactivate function in settings doesnt worked. Now i dont know what to do. if anyone could help me i would be very thankful.
My handset is a xperia x10 with 2.1 generic flashed bb 2.1.54, and 2.2 wolbreak gingerbread rom.

Hi, i am sure someone will have an answer(even if it is to say...there is nothing that can be done) to the problem with my phone.
I am not a technical person...use the phone with still its original settings...rom etc..
today the internet stopped working (maybe connection issue). so I tried to switch off and switch on again. the phone is not starting again...i have tried soft reset, removing the battery, sim card, memory card etc.. no luck
when i press the power on button..i hear the buzz...then the screen lights up with the HTC logo and some numbers at the bottom..which are
R2.04.50.22__2
G15.26.50.07U
D1.43.70124
And then nothing happens...
i have not yet tried the hard reset option..as would not like to loose the details on the phone...if possible. But if it is the only option, i am willing to try.
I will be grateful for your help, and please explain in plain terms if possible..kindly be patient if i do not understand the technical terms..
thanks in anticipation
Hi,
If read your post correctly you have not made any attempt to alter your phone's ROM and it is still as supplied.
Looking at the radio and ROM installed this is probably outside warranty, which is why you are asking rather than returning to your vendor.
This being the case it does not sound like your phone is booting and a hard reset will make any difference.
Will the phone start in the bootloader mode (achieved by turning the power off completely and holding the vol down button while powering up).
This is a tri-colour screen and is restarted by removing the battery.
It sounds like the ROM is corrupt or damaged.
You could try loading the stock rom from your provider or loading one of the very good cooked rom's from this site if it just corrupt.
This process is a bit long winded and will need extra direction if you have not spent any time on this site.
thanks
thanks for the reply waspsl
u r right, i have not changed the rom
and it is out of warranty
it starts in the bootloader mode..i.e i can see the 4colours(includind white) and the bottom says "serial" and then when connected to computer says "usb"
nothing further happens
when i open windows mobile device center, the phone is not connected
what next do i do?
how do i load the rom?
thanks again
amar
hard reset sorted the problem for now(although i lost the data)
thanks
