I have a g4 8125 and tried to flash black diamond 2.0 using shelltool. I followed all the instructions, but I may have messed something up. I installed the enablerapi and certspcs files on my phone, but i realized later that i did this after turning off my radio. After flashing I made a hard reset, and now it just comes to the cingular splash screen and shows my ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0) and doesn't load anything. Anyone have any ideas? It won't connect to activesync either.
edit: sorry for my ignorance, thanks for the help though!

Hello there.
This is my first post, and I hopefully pray that I don´t get a "Please Do a search" kind of answer as I have been doing a hard search through the forum but haven´t found what I´m looking for. Probably I´m just using the wrong search terms but english is not my native language so I´m not sure how to look up for this issue.
First, I unlocked the sim of my device by sending it to a third party. Afther that, the phone came with a Wizard-Love OS installed, and finally I got excited and started to mess around with the Shelltool to get the device upgraded to WM6. (It´s a G4 by the way).
First I successfully upgraded to wm6 wee htc wizard v5.2.660, but then I found that the keyboard mapping was all wrong with the shown special characters (they weren´t where they were supposed to be at all), so i tried messing up with the registry trying to select a local language for spanish with no success at all....
Also I was having some issues trying to connect to internet via wi-fi even when I did get connected to the network, but did not test it hard enough.
Then I went farther trying to "shelltool" a Black Diamond 2.0 Touch rom, but then everything became a real mess... The Shelltool said that it was finish only like 4 to 5 minutes after starting so I disconected and Hard Reseted the unit. Don´t remember if I disabled the radio before flashing it, nor if I had the sd card installed on the device at the flashing momment, but definetly i had reinstalled the cert_spcs and EnableRapi cabs prior to this seccond attempt.
After the hard reset, it started but freezed on the first screen showing the ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0). Then I hard reset like two more times, with no luck. Then I entered on the bootloader mode, but after trying that for a while the phone stopped responding. It did not turn off, so I removed the battery. Then when I put the battery back the unit did not turn on at all. Even it did not show the charging red light when I connected it to the usb nor the wall ac adapter. I was devastated... I leaved the unit with the battery out all the night and the next day I reinstalled the battery to see that the device did turn on and did charge, but still it was locked on the splash window.
I tryed to reflash the unit using the bootloader under windows xp, after killing the activesync connection and using the wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WEE_Novii_CF2 rom. The unit showed a progress bar so the pc and after 10-12 minutes it was done. I Hard reseted the unit but then it always started on the bootloader screen as if I was pressing the camera button.
Hard reseted, soft reseted, battery out and in, no luck. Then it went dead again. It did not turn on at all and no charging light. Once again i leaved the unit all day without battery and send it to the friend that had unlocked the sim for me. He just called me and told me that the unit was now up and running again with wizard_love rom. I´m really not sure how he did it. Probably i did something with the sd inserted when it was supposed to be out. I did flashed the wizard love on bootloader with the sd inserted but i´m not sure if that could have make the mess.
I would like to know if anyone have had this kind of lock up and how to deal with it (how much time to leave the battery out, etc). Also I will love to know how did my friend (he wont tell me as is it´s bussines and he charges for it) finally restarted my unit flashing wizard_love again, as I´m still too curious to not try to flash my unit again and probably be on the same mess once again.
Thanks in advance.
That's a lovely 1st post. If every one is to be like that.. it would be just to nice to help others.
Anyway, this may not sound logical, but I get problems with Shelltools when I do not have the official ROM flashed before another flash. What I would suggest is that, you ought to have an official ROM (check Wiki to download your official ROM flashing EXE), which seems to get me out of trouble a few times.
Also, it maybe wise to check your battery before any flashing attempt, make sure it is 100% (60% will do mostly, but in case of an emergency, that 40% helps). It cases where a phone doesn't go charge/bootloader, it is battery problem. The overnight thingy that you've done, probably rest the battery long enough to boost it to a charge (e.g. how you get a blink when you switch off a torchlight for period of time on a low batt).
Good also among your information, tell us the IPL/SPL/Radio on the ROM you are using.
Hi my phone is from Germany,the phone is of 1 year and in last moons sometime just off, auto power off without any message... and in last week can't power on. The phone just was DEAD. But now after many time try the phone is ON and again sometime just off after 2 3 or 10min. The phoblem is not from some problem I do many hard resets but still problem. Now I re-flash IPL with last version 2.*****.1 and can't unlock for re-flashing with other version. Can you tell me some good english rom for xda_nova and from where is this problem?
Thanck you!
it`s a very big problem of this model it`s hardware and you need to disasamble and put something on the processor to make pressure to him

I've got the same problem after flashing the ROM. The Phone goes OF every time it goes in energy saving modus. So I turnes of the funktion (Backlight of after xxx sconds) don't know exacliy how it is called in english. Now the phone stays on, but of course now the battery power went down verry fast!
If I touch the Power Button which do the same (Energy saving modus) the phone goes OF as well. Sometimes it restarts emediatly some times not.
this is not the sollution for the problem, but I think it would be nice to know if we have the same problem.
i've had the same problem. First it looks like slide2unlock caused this problem. I never used this program, and my elf worked fine. After using slide2unlock the elf suddenly started to auto switch off..
Upgraded my rom to the latest TESS (lite) and changed pagepool back to 4 mb => no more auto off problems
MY Problem is fixed too
Hi,
In the meantime I've fixed this problem as well.
I had an ELF ROM running on an ELFin device. Thought that the model name would be the Model_ID. ... Well ... now I know better.
One ELFin is brocken now (don't do anything, not even powering up or so), but the second one is now working fine.
regards
Cico
Hi
yesterday my htc stalled so I took out the battery but didn't restart it untill the next morning.
Now this morning I couldn't start up my phone.
I let it charge untill the light got green but still no go.
Suddenly it turned on but now I can't use the power button anymore for screen lock.
is this a software fault? or hardware?
Thanks
Frederik
First of all, Welcome to the Forums, I see you've only joined today so make sure you've read all the forum rules etc.
Initially this sounds like a hardware fault somewhere deep in the machine itself. However a few things to try:
1. Take the battery out, disconnect from the charger and leave without any form of power for about 3 minutes (overnight if you can) - Put the battery back in and see if there's any change. - I've used this method to get my phone going after flashing a ROM caused it to freeze at the Smart Mobility screen, as wierd as it sounds.
2. Are you using a cooked ROM? or stock? if you're using a cooked ROM, try re-flashing back to stock and see if the problem persists
3. If you're using the stock ROM, try a hard-reset
It'll also help the rest of us if you can identify which ROM you're using. Perhaps it will be easier if you just update your forum signature to reflect this.
The Wiki is also full of useful information, so have a read of it as well. Here's the link to the Blackstone (Touch HD) Wiki.
hi
it might be some dust or liquid got into the power button but its probably just the switch has died from being pressed too hard or was made badly
hi peopple. i have a htc touch p3450 with 128/256, the problem is when i turn off the device and then turned on appears the blue screen on windows mobile and the the device restarted and i have to calibrate the screen, put the hour, the password, and this steps, its like the device had a hard reset everytime i turned off. sometimes the device turned off from it self and i had to push the camera botton, volume up and reset with the device turn on, after few minutes the device starting again like the same way like i say you some lines before.
ok, the other day i try to find the way to fix my device, but i found a problem, better say two prolems. my device dosnt entry in a boot loader mode, and i try millions times on millions diferents ways and nothing happens. the second problem in this moments my device are totaly dead, only turn on the blue screen and i made the hard reset and nothing, dosnt start like before, i cant made anything. i try with a gold card anda nothing all result impossible
please experts i need yours help!!!!
peopple sory for my english, its so bad!! im from argentina!
i hope you can understend me anda try to help me
first of, sounds like your backup battery is dead, you tried charging overnight? That should hopefully charge it. Secondly, what else have you trid from the rom section? Have you flashed a custom rom?
If not, and overnight ac charge doesn't help the backup battery, do you still have warranth, as it could be worth returning to htc?
Stu
I think there's something wrong with your phone, with the phone's memory because it keeps forgetting things, try to make contact with your provider or HTC
Caution
Your problem can only be guessed from the info you have given
If it does something similar to a Hard-Reset every time you power on/off
then it can be a problem with the flash memory, or you can have a corrupted ROM
If its completely bricked (no backlight) and you head to the HTC Service center, and they find that you have custom ROM modifications they will most probably deny you warranty and/or service
Good luck
I personal think it has been overheated, buy/get/try a new battery and it will work again. turn it off and get a cooler or something like that and cool the phone and let it for 1 day on your table or somewhere and hard-reset the next day.

Hi all, i just got a Qtek 9090 with WM2003 (ITA). I upgraded to WM6.1, but now it has some strange problems: first of all, when it goes in standby, sometimes it doesn't wake up. If i have to reset it, most of times it doesn't boot (it shut down before WM loads) or i get R: None G: None and i have to reset again (otherwise the phone won't work).
The lock at the boot doesn't happen when the phone is connected at the USB port (i think that's because it charges, maybe it's a battery problem?)
Another thing is that i can't turn it off: if i hold pressed the power button, it deactivate the backlught but the device stays on, and if i make another long press, i get the backlight back again... I had this problem also with WM2003, maybe it's normal?
What do you think? Whan can i do?

Have you make a HardReset?
The correct HardReset, not only reset and press Power button!!!
See in my HowTo Section...
and why not WM6.5.5 see here
yep, hard reset is a good start, but about your other problems:
the device does not really turn off, like other phones. pressing the power button makes it go to hibernate, the display turns off, depending on your settings, it locks the hardware buttons and it shuts off wi-fi, it hardly uses any energy but gsm/gprs stay on.
the device seems to be off, yet the phone is one and you can be called. that is the closest you get to switching it off. when you turn on airplane mode, the battery consumption is even less so there is not really a need to turn it off.
pressing and holding the power button always was for the backlight. many other devices open up a shutdown menu when you do that, that would allow you to turn it off, soft reset, or switch off the backlight, but for the BA, that is not the standard. however, if i read it right, d-two is working on remapping the power button, probably for that cause.
the R: none G: none issue is known and not a problem with your phone, whenever you run out of power or remove the battery for a second, the next boot will be w/o radio (R and most roms don't allow booting without it. that's why you get stuck there and have to perform a soft reset. back in the days of wm2003 i used to remove the battery when the device froze to reset it w/o the stylus, because it didn't matter then. with cooked roms, it is different, just like the booting splash screen or the way to perform a hard reset, many things change on a cooked rom.
the issue with waking up from standby, or the SOD (standby of death) is an issue, that most likely has something to do with a backup, restored after flashing another os, or maybe you didn't perform a hard reset, as stated by d-two. you should do that, now that the device is still new, you have nothing to lose
also, read through the tutorials posted by d-two and myself, whether you missed anything while flashing.
The "real" hard reset is the one i can get by pressing camera + record button and reset? If so, i already did it after flash (i use d-two 6.1 Manila ROM in WWE)
It shows me 3 options, i put on YES "Clean Registry Hive" and "Format Storage" then i press the mail button, the screen become white for a while and the next boot al seems to be ok.
It seems, because after some time i get again the "standby of death" and, if i press the reset button, the most of time it won't boot up again (it turns off before i can get to WM), if it works phone doesn't. All these boot problem can be avoided by connecting the phone to the usb cradle, so maybe it's also a battery problem, i think...
@ d-two: i'll try your new ROM, however before i've tried your 6.1 ROM
I've already read your guide because i've got Windows 7 and i couldn't flash without your tutorial
NEWS: installed d-two new ROM, after flash i made the hard reset selecting the second and the third options, then i get the blank screen and, when viewing the htc screen, it shut down itself like it did before
As always, with the usb connected, it has no problem :\
It can be battery power - battery is old, and it doesn't provide current [A], or voltage drops [V] and phone think, it's empty.
Maybe you can try with new battery, or buy 2 nokia bl-4c batteries and repair orginal battery (somewhere on forum there is a tutorial about that - but use bl4c, not bl5c like in tutorial - bl5c are too thick to fit)

That's what i was thinking (and that's i hope it isn't)... Now with another recharge cycle it seems to be good also with cooked ROMs, i hope it's solved
Maybe you just have to charge/discharge it for 4-5 times, and it will restore it's capacity. Mine BA was turning off when battery indicator was showing ~60-70%, and now I'm waiting for new battery (i destroyed original )
"charge/discharge it for 4-5 times" does not have an effect on Li-ion kind of batteries. This is probably a software problem. When you turn your phone on (after removing a battery) it always shows "None" for R and G, so just press Reset button and it will be ok. I use Reset to power it on Then you can flash 6.5.5 which doesn't have problems, and do a hard reset. There should be no problem at all..
I also got the problem with the stock ROM :\
The R: None G: None error is the less important problem
Got any luck fixing it? I've had similar problems before, sometimes it turned itself off when the battery was at 60% in WM2003. Did you update to d-two's 6.5.5?
Yes, now i'm running d-two's 6.5.5 ROM.
No, i still had the problem Yesterday i called to the assistance service and they said me to remove the battery and after a while recharge it.
I put off the battery yesterday at 16 and i put it again in the phone this morning at 8, i charged it but i still have the problem
This evening i called again and they said me that i have to send it back, i'll flash the original ROM and send it on monday.
That's a shame, i really like this device, even if it's not mine, my sister uses it and she's not a pro user, what a waste
Didn't understand, what "assistance service"? This is very old phone, I just can't believe it has some kind of warranty
I have another battery, and using it the device turns it off sometimes while it's in the stand-by mode! Don't know why, the voltage on it is fine, I have measured it while working...

I bought it on an eBay market and it offered 60 days warranty. It's not official HTC/Qtek warranty, but it doesn't make difference, as long as the device will work
If for you it happens only when it's in standby, maybe you just have the standby of death, the problem Chef Tony was talking about at post 3?

Well, i trust you that your ROMs doesn't have SOD problem, in fact this happened to me also with the shipped WM2003 ROM, it's a real hardware issue
