Hi,
I've search and spend many hours trying to unbrick this thing and wasn't able to unbrick this.
Some info on the machine, it's a I-mate JAMin phone.
IPL 1.00
SPL 2.15.0000
GSM 02.19.21
OS 2.15.13.24
The problem is it will not get past this screen, and sometimes it will and stay stuck at the white HTC screen.
Then about 50% of the time, the GSM 02.19.21 doesn't come up at all.
I am able to go into the bootloader and connect it to my computer and it does show USB. But then I am unable to run most of the commands because I do not have the correct password. Even tried running the different ROM update files and got error [260] or something similar.
I recently obtained a ROM which has these files OS.nba, Splash.nba, HTCLogo.nba, Radio.nba, and boo.rgu. How can I use these to flash my phone with the SD card?
Another problem is, it seems like something is loose inside the phone where I cannot start the phone someimes unless I shake it up down left right.
What can I do now other than throwing the phone away.
Thank You very much.
Have you overclock your device?
I've the same situation before, but finally i've down the clock frequency and it get back normal.
Hey guys,
I have two WINgs and I Hard SPLed one already and I Flash it regularly
the other one was at the T-mobile Rom and stable till it starting restarting at every call.
So i treid to Unlock it also like the other one
So I backed up all my contacts and Messeges with PimBackup
and after i Installed the three files
security removal, Aserg and cannonyang
when I try to Hard SPL through RUU with USB so it tells me no connection although its connected in Activsync
I searched the forums and Bypassed the Connection issue by entering the Boot loader through the phone and it got to 2 percent and told me i need a newer RUU although it is the Same as the other Wing for the versions and I have done the other one Fine
when I tried to do it again and still bypassed into the boot loader through the phone it now tells me that There is no Connection to the device. Although the USB sign is available in the bottom.
Now I have Also searched the forums and found Aserg suggesting that we install the Native T-mobile Rom
It connected fine and went into
1% of updating Image and then it gave me a communication Error
Now I noticed two things:
1. it Goes into Bootloader and CHills there
2. It Changed the IPL number from 4.26.0000 to 4.10.0000
but SPL remained 4.26.0002
Does any one have a Solution for this Problem Guys?
Is it bricked now and I just can't see it?
Please help because all my contacts are are on it and i am working with crappy nokia instead of it that has none of them.

Hello i tried to flash mine P4350 with at first Hard SPL , works fine after that place a custum rom, seems to works fine, but after a soft reset, NOTHING
even no LED activity. booting with holding camera button for 3 seconds, shows greens screen with ipl 1.08.0001 and 1.08.0001 and then is turns off..
IS this the end for the HTC????
Hello, ik can put a rom on the sd and boot it say illegal certificate?
Flashing from usb with romupdate utility says error 300 invalid update tool (rom update utility = 03.11.3.1)
if u are abel to get to the tricolor screen im sure you could reflash to another ROM (maybe it was a bad ROM/bad download) try flashing a ROM using the sd card (if you dont know how to flash from sd card search on it firs its all over the forum) make sure your battery is higher than 50%. well good luck.
Your SPL is not 4.0 or above. The HardSPL thread warns you against using the HardSPL on a SPL that low because it bricks the phone. You'll have to search for the Herald Goldcard method to revive the phone.
Other than that, this is not the right sub forum to ask those questions in.
Please I need help!!!
My rom flashing stucked on 80% over HTC herald and I had no other choice but to restart the phone and now its completely dead. tri color screen is not coming also.
Please help
I have 2 heralds which are having problems with turning on.
This is what works for me:
1) Take the battery out for 10 seconds
2) plug the charger into the phone
3) put battery back in the phone
4) press POWER button for 3 to 5 seconds
Try it few times - works for me fine, but not always !
Hi all,
Hoping someone can help!
OK, first of all I'll admit quite openly that my knowledge of flashing and so on isn't what you'd call strong so any accusations of being a n00b are warranted and accepted.
I got my HD2 in Jan and I'd flashed a few handsets before without issue so flashed the HD2 pretty much straight away and played with some ROM's and so on and settled on one (from memory Dutty ROM) and everything was fine, the phone was stable and everything was good.
Then 2 weeks the handset started acting oddly. I hadn't changed anything (as far as I'm aware) but the phone starting freezing, restarting and so on. I'd have to take the battery out to restart it (and sometimes leaving the battery out for a while before it'd boot up.) When it froze the area around the bottom of the battery would also warm up. I'd also notice that if I tried doing something on the handset it would restart - almost as if I was putting to much "strain" on the handset and it went *bang*.
I decided to hard reset the phone and it went back to original form. Now, I'll again admit this is probably down to my lack of knowledge, I assumed this put the handset back to a factory state but this is probably not the case (it certainly looked like it but some signs suggested it hadn't).
This seemed to improve things a little but the problems just came back. As I'd flashed it and put on the HSPL I thought the warranty was now invalid so thought I'd try and "fix" it myself.
Big mistake.
Or was it?
I think the phone has an issue with power or something like that as it freezes as I've said. And it did this while I was trying to flash a ROM. Panic then set in.
Basically my handset is now in a state where it'll boot into the bootloader (power and Vol down) three colour splash screen and it'll do the white HTC "normal" boot up screen but nothing else.
I can connect to the handset via RUU and I can run:
Task 29
however this doesn't run and finish gracefully most of the time. It'll stick on 99% or 100% or sometimes it'll moan about not being able to do this on this handset.
Any ROM I now try to flash on it using the exe's or RUU (I've not tried them all, granted!) starts and stick at a certain percentage. The Artemis ROM sticks at 12%, Official 1.43 WWE ROM sticks at 0% and Leon ROM sticks at 9%. Eventually they'll time out with an error. Unfortunately I left the handset at work so cannot state which error(s) I get when trying to flash a ROM.
So, after boring the hell out of you, is the handset terminally ill in your opinion? I really do think that there could be a faulty power button/general power issue with the handset (just a feeling I've got) but from my brief reading I'm not 100% sure.
Is there anything I could do? At the moment it's completely unusable so any suggestions on getting it into a working state? Ideally I'd like to get it into a state where I could return it to O2 UK and not have them flag the fact it's been flashed.
Any help gratefully received!
can you get into bootloader? if so, check the spl.
if it is 1.42.0000 or 1.66.0000 then the warranty is fine.
if the spl ends .hspl then connect to usb and run hspl 2.
choose whatever was your stock spl (one that ends 0000, 1.42.0000 most likely)
reboot to boot loader, and confirm the spl ends 0000 and you will be fine.
have same problem!
my hd2 freezed on startup screan, boot screan, sometime donot start - only black screan, after rom flash 99percent or 100percet once freezed when i return stock rom and spl,sometime dont want to boot with 1.42hspl, next time with 1.66, but my experinece is :
1.
-with 2.08hspl allways start
-uninstal your hd2 driver on your computer! restart your computer install after that, with windows update,
-same with bootloader mode, uninsta, driver on your computer,restart your comp, and install it
-turn off your antivirus protector when install any rom, and your run as administrator in windows 7,vista.

Samsamuel, you're an utter *star*.
Now back to 1.42.0000. I can blag O2 now if needs be in regards to the handset (tried upgrading to 1.72, USB cable came out, phones shagged, give me a new one, etc) without them getting funny about it if needs be.
Will try upgrading to 1.72 stock O2 ROM and see what happens.
Thanks again Samsamuel, I owe you a pint!
I have the exact same problem.
The screen freezes for a while, and then the device reboots.
Usually it's stuck on the white (with green "HTC") screen after that, the red text doesn't show up.
If I remove the battery and leave the device alone for a while (cool down?) it boots past the white screen (although it's highly likely that it crashes again when I enter my pin).
At first this was only happening when I was watching some video's with coreplayer, but now it's just happening all the time, even when it's in my pocket.
I just finished flashing a stock rom, but it's even worse now
9 out of 10 times it doesn't even make it to the pin screen, and I have spend about 2 minutes total actually in windows mobile.
Brood, it sounds like your issue is hardware related, I would contact htc too look into getting it repaired.
Just an update from OP.
Thanks for the link ilijan, very interesting.
I spoke to O2 business tech support yesterday and deliberately asked whether anyone else was complaining of this issue. They said no but I'm unsure whether I believe them and whether this was just the corporate line.
After setting my SPL back to 1.42.0000 I tried flashing to 1.72 stock and this did work. Every other ROM I tried wouldn't work. Even with the official ROM it's still freezing/restarting.
Getting a refurb today.
Thanks to all that responded/helped. Appreciated.
