so i was just trying to charge my phone and the screen gave all these funny characters and the screen froze up, so i reset it with the reset button. it does get to the white HTC screen with red wording but thats it....whats up? can i use the techniques of the failed rom flashes to try to boot my phone?
phone charges though =P....but what good is that. any ideas before i just try to hard reset (and do a rom update for the heck of it)?
I bad the same problem last week. The HD runs after formating the storage-card and reflash a new ROM.
PS only flashing has no working.It's possible that only formating works...
Try to take the battery out for 1 minut and the start it again, it worked for me.

Hi Guys,
Well yesterday the Battery on my 9100 went flat this has happened before and I just charge it back up and its fine.. But this time I incurred Data Loss
Went to turn it back on and it locks on the Boot screen where its states the GSM etc.. Have gone through the usual key press to format and I keep reciving format failed
Any help would be most appriciated
Get to the bootloader screen (multicolored) by turning device off - hold camera button and turn on. Sounds like you need to reflash you device with the same or updated rom - all the wizard roms are listed in the wiki - link is top left on your screen
ul, prehaps its cos your knees are too bendy?

Did you sort this out? I can get to the multicolored screen and flash my wizard but it never boots past the second splash screen. I think the extended rom is corrupted somehow and I need to clear it but hard reset just ends with format failed? Any ideas?

I don't know if the phone is bricked or what. Was in the store tonight, tried to text message my wife who I couldn't find and the phone was all locked up.
Soft reset, and only the date/time loaded, nothing would run. Soft reset again, and the phone didn't load past the bright splash screen. Tried soft reseting a bunch more times, nada. Did a hard reset, first one didn't work. I think it was the 3rd hard reset that took. Phone seemed like it was back to basic WM5, would be okay. Went home, put it on the charger.
Went to take it off the charger to reload data, and it won't turn on. Soft reset, freezes at bright splash screen. Hard reset, same thing.
Is my phone bricked? Anything that I can do to revive it? Or am I SOL?
Cingy/ATT 8525 w/WM5
(By "bright splash screen" I mean when the splash screen flashes brightly. It increases brightness, but just stays that way.)
Any help greatly appreciated.
I managed to load the official WM6 ROM (spl 2.03) via the built-in bootloader. I have radio, ROM, and GSM. It boots through the ATT animation, then freezes. It leaves a black screen with a blue and green static bar running horizontally across the screen about 1/4" thick.
I don't know how to get Hard-SPL loaded on the device because the only way I can see the device is when it's in the built-in bootloader mode.
will attempt PB/KITL I guess, though I can't at this point get the phone to display the KITL info.
No KITL in the ATT WM6 ROM.
Managed to get ATT WM6 ROM through the setup, after the "customization (bloatware)" it reset, and now it sticks on the bootup animation.
So close, I have SSPL and Hard SPL on the micro SD, if only I could get to the damn file manager. If I could somehow cancel out the customization process grrr.
On power charger, I seem to be able to get through the setup after a hard reset okay. It just won't boot after the reset.
Any ideas. I gotta get a few hours sleep. Sorry if this dialog to myself is in the wrong area, I didn't notice the "bricked hermes" thread was in the upgrades, etc area.

Not sure I fully grasp what's happening here, but if you want to stop the customisation then hard reset and when it goes to the loading cusimisation stage shove the stylus in the hole to do a soft reset and it will stop it loading.

Alright, thanks, will give that a try.
I managed to run the official ATT WM6 ROM and flash it without a hiccup (twice), and task 28 in bootloader says no bad blocks. So I am confused how I can flash an "official" ROM successfully and the device still won't work. Am starting to suspect hardware failure apart from memory.
Thanks a million mate, that worked. Phone boots now, already have SSPL installed. Need to update .net and activesync for Hard-SPL 7 to run I guess. Then I have more options.
Woot! I unbricked my phone
Once I was able to hard reset and cancel the "customization" I ran SSPL, then Hard-SPL 7, then I Super-CIDed the device.
I haven't tweaked the data settings yet, but I can send/receive phone calls. Which is a coup, because this is my main line.
It runs sluggishly. I don't know if that is the ROM or the device. It won't boot if it's plugged into USB, and after flashing Hard-SPL it isn't a recognized device by windows, won't connect to activesync.
I am treating the phone gingerly right now, will try and unload the ATT wap settings cab and restore my pim.
At least now I have the option to install another ROM if it bricks on me again.
I really should have flashed Hard-SPL the DAY, the MINUTE after the warranty was up. Lesson learned.
Or not.
ATT ROM locked up on me, decided to try Schaps 4.40. Won't load past WinMo "tap screen to setup" screen. Guess I'll try something else.
For a stable WM6 rom try TNT SE. It is REALLY stable but does come with some 3rd party apps. Thought you might like to get it working though first then try the other roms and in my experiance I haven't found many other roms that were THIS stable...
Hope you get it working...

Dear people,
I am really searching all day how to unbrick my device, I tried everything, and still nothing worked so far. I got a phone from a friend who tried to update the software and probably removed the cable while flashing. Now when I turn on the phone the only thing I see is the boot logo and nothing happens after.
It is possible to go into the boot-modus (with the 4 colors). This way it worked for me to make a USB-connection with my PC. I tried a couple of roms but nothing worked so far, everytime when I try to flash the device, it will jump to the grey screen with the % bar and then I wait for it to go to the 100%, but when it goes to 1% the phone instantly reboots, this happens everytime I try to flash the device. After it reboots it shows the boot-screen (logo of the half-flashed rom)
I hope you got an answer for me to fix this phone. Like I said I was searching all day for an answer and tried several things but nothing worked so far, any suggestions? Please...
Hi,
Yes I tried the WM5 rom, but the same thing happened, after 1% the phone rebooted...
Hold on, trying another one right now that seems to work...
Okay I managed to fix the one using another official ROM
this one:

You have to flash Hard SPL: http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=66
Happend to me once, and after flashing this, never again.

TITA100
SPL-1.20.01ipro
well i am as u can see im not good with tech. stuff like this but i would like sum advice or ideas on how to fix my problem. well here is how it all happened. my fone started off fine, out of the blue it started turning off by itself, then coming back on. it will reboot fine then as soon as i touch the screen or try to text or call it shut off on me. first i thought my battery was dying. that didnt work kept it on the charger switched out the battery, still nothing ended up doing the same. so a fren told me to hard reset or press the ok button pwr n the reset button at bottom using the stylst. now im stuck in bootloader mode after i ran a program:
HARD-SPL-MFG
and was told to flash the fone, which i had no idea what to do the person who was helping me i didnt hear frm again n i was stuck in this tricolored screen what should i do? i just want my phone up and running so i can use it once again...if thats possible..it be great i love the phone n dnt want the money i invested into it wasted
thank you soo much,
If I had to guess, it sounds like you have installed a SPL that is not compatible with your existing radio and rom.
First thing is I would try downloading the stock rom for your phone, I believe you can download this from HTC's website, I would download the newest and the one prior to it. Try installing the older of the 2 first since your SPL that you do have is older, and if it fails to install, then try the newer of the two.
If it still fails, come back here and I'm sure somebody else can give you more advice.

Hi everyone,
I have freaking weird problem, I just cant use my phone anymore now.
And totaly have no clue wtf is wrong with it..
Today I got the 29.5 artemis rom, and installed it on my phone, using SSPL method
I've done it before with artemis rom only older version. And everything was working fine.
Well it kinda did the same with this newer rom untill I went to "Microsoft my phone" and it froze, and nothing worked to shut it down, so had to take my battery out and in again, it restarted. After that it froze when I pressed the off button, and after I pressed it again it just froze and didnt want to do nothing..
So after that I did the same again I had to take my battery out, and then in again.
So now it just dont want to pass the second "HTC" screen with RGD numbers on it.
So I tried to install the rom from my PC via the bootloader, and it gives me update error after a while watching in htc screen with 0% update on it..
SOMEONE HELP!?
I ******* want to smash the phone in piecess..
what phone you got?is it a tmous?
Try a reset it normals resolves this type of iss - or a factory reset
Well, the issue it freezes at that second screen and normal reset aint working, tried hard reset several times still nothing. Freezes at the second screen.
And I use eropean version of the phone. Dunno what tmous is tho.
Gonna try to get HSPL on it, Task 29 format see if it will do somehting
