i plug in pc and it say unknown device and home+power

use adb. see if
it finds the phone.

Try with the volume down and power on. If you can get that then you're ok and recover.
I flashed my radio and my daughter(2) pulled my phone off 1/2 way. Battery popped out and it died.....
I wasn't able to get anything.
If you can get the volume down you can adb flash it.

Just flash a custom ROM, if you can access recovery,and you can, you are not in trouble!
1.Boot into recovery
2.wipe
3.mount usb mass storage
4.copy a custom ROM to the root of your SD card ( lets say cyanogen as most people do)*
5.choose apply any zip and apply the rom that you put
6.reboot
*Using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609714&page=1 would be easier for you to flash than cyanogen.
Hope it helps!

thanks for quick reply !!

thanks a lot your procedure just work fine without problem
but can u also tell me that before applying any new update wipe is necessary?i think that was reason to cause problem in first place
anyway thank u very much!!!!!!!!

You're welcome!
After updating your current ROM you don't need to wipe.(sometimes the dev will say that you must wipe, then you will have to do it) However, if you are switching to a different ROM you have to wipe.
And remember to always make a nandroid backup before flashing!

You must create goldcard.
If you even flash nbh, you can get message about wrong Customer ID (cause you flash ROM, that isn't to your phone: country-dependent)
Try ask friend or find neighbor with android-phone.
Or find computer with card-reader INSIDE and OS Ubuntu/Linux (usb-card-readers are not compatible, they recognized as disks, not drives)

I created a GoldCArd using a friends phone, i followed the steps carefully
and it sayd "cid incorrect"
any advices/sugestions?

Former perfect-SPL Magic can't flash.

Hi everybody,
I just got my 1.5 cupcake Magic yesterday from SFR (Vodafone french carrier). I discovered it had a perfect-SPL and used both tuts found on this forum to get over it. First I made my goldcard then used id to fix the perfect-SPL. I followed everything step-by-step. Everything went fine and my phone went from a 1.5 cupcake Vodafone with Google french rom, to a HTC 1.5 cupcake english rom with non-perfect SPL.
Now I try to flash with a rom by Luo (at SmartPhone France forums) wich is based on Ion.
I installed the SDK on my XP Pro SP3 PC, and the drivers form the SmartPhone France wiki, when needed by XP with the Magic connected on USB Debug mode and Fastboot mode. My SDK Tools folder is on the windows PATH of course, and I put the Amon_Ra recovery IMG in it. The Luo rom ZIP file is at the root of my freshly low-formated FAT32 memory card, and the card is back in the phone.
When I start in Fastboot mode and then type the
fastboot boot nameoftherecovery.img command line on my PC, it says it's loading the file.
Then on the phone screen a tiny green progress bar fills up from bottom to top in the top right corner of the screen, when full, the phone vibrates briefly, then restarts, show me a magnificent htc magic logo and stays like that forever. I never get a chance to get to the menu that I need to wipe then flash.
I guess I'm not bricked since I can boot normally and access the fasboot, and not in perfect-SPL anymore, but hell yeah I'm in some deep sh*t and fed up already as it's been 24hrs I had my phone and can't use it ...
Any clues you pros ?
Thanks in advance !
Then on the phone

try turning it off for a while and then turn on, Otherwise try flashing one of dwangs roms.If you have the same problem as i do i cant flash any modified boot.img over 2MB it says write image error thus when you flash its not actually flashing the boot.img its using the one previously on the phone

The problem is solved. VincentjuanFR has followed the tutorial from AmonRA to disable a perfect SPL. But this tricks installs a 32A radio on the phone whereas he's got a 32B. Then, the recovery for 32B cannot boot.
he used the recovery for 32A to flash a 32B radio and then his phone was fine again.

HD2 stuck at the HTC boot screen

Hello, I have some problems with my mob.phone HTC HD2: after using Flash mobile stop working, then I tried install windows and tried turn on first time and my phone shows white screan with name HTC and don`t work at all,then i tried reset and Hard reset all setings and turn on again and than screan appears again with name HTC.
When i conect my phone to pc by usb, so my pc can`t find that phone.
Can you help me with this problem.
Thank you.

you should get your stock rom, ONLY your stock rom, extract the file ruu_signed.nbh
copy that file to your sd card formatted to fat 32 rename the file to leoimg.nbh
phone off
hold volume down
tap power (keep volume held)
phone should boot to three colors screen and start to flash.
this will ONLY work with original rom.

Thanks for Help.

Same problem......
I am also stuck in the white HTC screen, (R 2.06.51.07 G 15.30.50.07U D 1.66.76641). I can flash from SD card and so i tried, using the image in the latest official RRU, no way, it doesn't fix the problem.
I didnt try any unofficial rom, i just updated to the latest rom from HTC, it worked fine. The problem occurs after i had to restart the phone while trying to connect to a xifi AP...
Any idea what i should try now ?

Thanks. You saved my day.

OMG! Thank you so much! I love you!!!!!! I was stuck on boot because my flash failed and i followed your instructions and now i can flash again!!! i was so worried and if it weren't for you i would be screwed. Really you are a HUGE help! Keep the good work up

how long did you guys have to wait till the htc rebooted after that flash? cause ive been waiting for over 30 minutes and i thought i made that wrong.
Note: ive used HSPL fist, then flashed it with energyleo.23547, but energyleo kept stuck in bootloader
now im pretty afraid of loosing manufactors warranty ...

well lads, pay attention: ive fixed that my problem all by myself. HINT: ive kept holding the buttons for to long, so the device got stock while starting up. so dont press the voldown-button for too long, maybe only for 2 seconds!

hard reset

Remember boys and girls - if you get stuck on the bootloader you can also do the following:
1. Remove the battery to turn the phone off, leave 3 seconds
2. Replace battery and hold down the vol down button and turn on your device to get into the bootloader
3. It should say 'serial'. Plug your USB cable in and it'll change to 'USB'
4. Flash your stock ROM as normal using ActiveSync method. This will also reinstall the SPL (in the case of people who can't get past the first white HTC screen). I did this after the first (and only) time I tried to do it the SD card method. Put my stock SPL back on my phone

im pretty sure that flashing over usb won't do the spl. only sd card flashing can touch the spl.

When I tried to flash (after installing HSPL) using the sd card method and it bricked I went into the bootloader and it put my stock SPL back on - hence why I said if the sd card fails

I'd be inclined to suspect that In your case the spl was flashed during the failed sd card flash, so was already stock spl when you then flashed the stock rom over usb.(which of course being stock doesn't need hspl )

Hi Guys
I'm having the same problem, however, I bought the phone second hand. My question is how do I find out what my stock ROM is?
cheers

you download HSPL, run it, and if your spl is anything else than 1.42 it will give out an error and no harm is done

Hey
Thanks for replying. Do I get the stock ROM from the HTC website, is there a way to get it as a .nbh file as I am currently on a mac.
thanks

White Screen and HTC logo
I have found a similar problem, I flashed the HSPL rom following the instructions to the letter in the NOOB section.
Restarted my HTC HD2 having hard reset, and it would start and begin the installation and setup, once the setup completes, the software requests a soft reset, at this point my phone hangs on the white boot up screen with the HTC logo.
What am I doing wrong?

Stuck on White HTC Screen after ROM update
Why is it that, having run the HSPL update on my HD2 and checked that its successful, does my phone hang on the white HTC boot screen when it reboots after setup.
I have installed the energy rom, the most recent version. It still hangs at the boot after the rom does the soft reset...
Help please?

G1 unlock bootloader

So I have T-mobile G1 model phone. It has firmware 1.0 with RC29 in the build number. I would like to update it to some version of cyanogenmod.
There are a couple of problems I am having when i try to follow the instructions at wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
1. I am unable to unlock the bootloader using fastboot. I have Android SDK installed on my PC.
2.As far as I can tell, I cannot get into bootloader mode by pressing trackball and Power ON. The only way I can get into bootloader mode is through Power ON + Camera. I can get the "three skating androids" and i have the following showing on my screen:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT 0.95.3000
CPLD-4
radio 1.22.12.39
serial 0
The device freezes at this point. I have to pull the battery to restart the phone.
Any help, links etc would be greatly appreciated

That's because you're following instructions on unlocking the bootloader for the Nexus One, not the G1. *facepalm*
Attempting to flash the wrong files can brick your phone. If you were careless enough to not realize you were following instructions for a completely different phone that entire time, you should think twice about rooting your G1! You could end up bricking it.

Gotcha back!!!!!
Well, can you still use fastboot? If so, search on XDA Developers for the man himself EzTerry. He has a nice tutorial for installing a new Radio and SPL for the HTC Dream (dont worry, not the Nexus One, i've checked it ) Follow that and you can flash your recovery again, your ROM (Even CM7) and as a bonus: You get more then 10 mb of RAM!!!!!!! BUT if not, you'll have to put the DREAIMG.nbh (google it) to your sdcard and install it using the bootloader BUT you'll be back where you started, with Android 1.0!!!!!! (No root access, no nothing, but a standard recovery) AND, a bricked phone won't start up, won't go to recovery AND to bootloader and the most common reason for bricking your phone is: 1. Not seeing what file you are downloading AND flashing it
2. Putting it in the right order!!!! SO easy but SO many bricks!!!! That's all you need to know!!! Good luck!

HTC Dream
u r missing the part where BEFORE GOING INTO FASTBOOT U HAVE TO DO:
1. format ur SD card in fat32 format (u may need a laptop with an adapter to perform this becouse u actually cant do it from the phone since it doesnt start up). FOR ME IT DIDNT WORK UNTILL I FORMATED FROM INSIDE THE PHONE TOO BAD IT THAT DOESNT WORK OUT FOR YOU =/
2. place this file RC29 DREAIMG.nbh (google it becouse i cant post links) into ur just formated SD card (just paste it and do not place in any folder)
3. turn on ur phone by pressing and holding camerabuttom + ON(red one)
4. it should go from the colored screent to a kinda gray one with some instructions... and then u just have to follow on screen instructions.

[Q] HD2 not responding

Dear all,
Some time ago some guy came over to me to have his phone (HD2) reflashed. I installed the HardSPL, eMagldr 1.13 and the 400mb file-system as needed for the rafdroid version I installed. Everything worked out fine. But now he has manually flashed CWM without changing filesystem etcetera and took out SD card and formatted it. The phone did actually boot in CWM, and he sold it to me. Now I wanted to do a factory reset, but the phone wouldn't boot anymore, nothing. I tried flashing back stock ROM, but the phone will not be found. I cannot even reflash the 400mb filesystem, it says RSPL.cpp missing... I'm running out of ideas and I'm starting to panic a little. So here are my problems:
- Phone crashed when booted into AD RECOVERY;
- Phone does not start up in any way, when lucky stuck forever in CWM bootlogo (for over 60 minutes);
- When booting into bootloader (volume down + power), a text "loading" should appear, but it doesn't;
I have no clue what to do from here. I don have the T-Mobile version of the phone I do know that . But it seems not to respond to anything which sucks. But I do get into MAGLDR with the menu choices so the device can not be ****ed up too bad.
Please advise me on this

Only if you have a correctly named leoimg.nbh on the SD card, and the SD card is 4gb or smaller, please confirm?

RE
You're right about the logo i meant CM ( cyanogen ) sorry for that, and no my sd is 4Gb and I named the file LEOIMG.nbh with capitals so going to try that ou tomorrow, but it still doesnt explain why my computer did not find my device with RUU update.. :s
Thanks for your help though you gave me some ideas

Leoimg in capitals should be ok,, correctly extracted from a stock rom? (People still sometimes make the mistake of simply renaming the whole romname.zip file, without extracting the ruu_signed.nbh file first)

When you try to run the RUU, does it say USB in the white bar of bootloader? if not you have adriver issue and need to install Active Synce(Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center(Windows Vista and 7).

RE:
Yes it does say USB and I managed to do a vodafone update from the HTC site. Though I don't know if it was a vodafone branded device, but that shouldn't matter right?
Anyway, I'm stuck forever in the "HTC" screen in green letters. So this time I'm stuck way earlier. But I'm going to give it half an hour and see what happens. I had to run the update three times before it succeeded so I doubt it.
But another thing, now I ran the update MAGLDR will be restored in its factory form right? And recovery and **** has been removed so I could try to reinstall them and go on from there if the phone won't boot, right?

RE:
Now I can't even get into MAGLDR. The phone is stuck in the first bootscreen saying HTC for over 3 hours now, I turned off my phone and I'm running the update again now, getting errors again. What do you advise? I still got an 8GB sd cart in it but I read somewhere that is OK.

If you flashed a stock rom, magldr is gone, magldr is a hacked together bootloader from the dft hackers,,, there is no "factory form".
Most 8gb or larger cards wont flash nbh files, but some do,
If you downloaded the rom from HTC using your phones serial number, then yes, its voda branded.
I suspect some corruption, some variant of stuck radio, .
I'd start by trying to use hspl2.exe to set hspl 1.66.0000 then flash the stock rom from SD taking careful note of the blue writing during the flash,

As Samsamuel said if you flashed a stock ROM MAGLDR is gone4 and you will have to re install MAGLDR, You being stuck at the splash screen could be caused be the stock ROM you flashed not being the correct stock ROM cause if you flashed it via SD card you removed HSPL and there for if it is not the correct ROM it will not boot. Also if you flashed it via RUU and it is a older ROM version the HSPL 2.08 that you have might no be compatible with the ROM causing it to stick at the splash screen. Maybe this will help some.
