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

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

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.

Well if you can't soft reset successfully then it is semi dead, you have to re flash

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

PC doesn't recognize (see) my phone

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.

how to install updated rom without active sync

i have a tmobile wing and i have vista so i wanted to update my phone with a knew rom version....so i installed windows mobile device center 6.1 ...but it would not sync ,i uninsalled it then reinstalled it no go....so im wondering how can i hard spl my phone without my pc ....and install a rom ...now i tried my wifes touch pro 2 on the windows mobile device center and it works but my wing wont ....anyone ran into this problem or has a solution ...i read a few threads saying hard reset but that did not work

Do you intend to flash with the flash center using the USB cable or have you considered using an SD card to flash your ROM?
If you are using USB to flash have you tried putting your phone into bootloader mode? While pressing the camera button, press the soft reset button below the volume control with the stylus and continue to hold the camera button until the tri colored screen pops up. When it does, look in the bottom left ( if I recall correctly ) to see if it recognizes the USB connection. It will say USB in that bottom left spot if it is connected and you are ready to flash. Ideally you want to be connected via Active sync but it is possible to flash from the bootloader screen.
Consider flashing via SD card. There are many different threads on this and it really is a very simple process. I hear it is also better for flashing because if you unplug the USB cable during a flash you can brick your phone. Just an idea.
Good luck.

yes i would like to flash from wmdc if possible....ill try the bootloader mode first

i just tried it the bars come up and it says usb in the corner ...but wmdc would not recognise it ...is there some settings on the wing i need to do to get it to sync

To flash from the boot loader screen you just need to go through the steps in the flash center. I never looked to see if my computer recognized the phone while plugged in; I just assumed it did not because active sync was not running. You should be able to initiate the flash through flash center and as you go through the steps it should recognize which rom you have loaded and it should read the rom you plan to install (which should be placed in the RUU folder within the flash center). I personally had to do this process about two flashes ago and can verify that it worked for me without having to "be connected" as far as Window's was concerned.
My advice, just go through the steps in flash center and you should see some progress. Good luck.

i went through the process it tells me nothing is connected then i have to exit

I would then go through the steps to format a 2gb or less MicroSD card and place the ROM file in the root directory and renaming it HERAIMG. From what I hear, this is a safer way to flash anyway so this should be your method whenever possible. There are many threads describing this process. The hardest part for me was to find a way to properly format my card in my computer. My best advice if you have a Dell or another laptop with an SD slot built it, would be to use another port to plug into. I tried for days to find a way or a program to format my MicroSD card in the built in SD slot but no matter what I did, it would not work. Finally, after much frustration, I tried a usb card reader and managed to successfully format the MicroSD on the first try and have been flashing with this method ever since. Hopefully this is all it takes to get you back up and running again. Good luck once again; I'll have my fingers crossed.

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!
By the way This also works for the HTC Imagio!

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.
