I have previously flashed my phone with shelltool no problem. I wanted to try out Faria's new WM6 rom so I install the 2 cabs as normal.
I run shelltool and halfway through my phone comes up with an error - can't find or can't run raplog.exe? or something similar to that. I didnt touch it and left it running - it went on for a good ten minutes longer than it should do and then finally completes. So I do a hard reset and now when I turn it on it hangs on the splash screen with the usual writing in top left corner i.e. IPL 2.21.0001, SPL 2.21.0001, GSM 02.07.10 and OS 2.18.0.0
Have done a couple of hard resets and normal resets but no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
Sorry should have read more threads - I'm going to try force bootloader and few other things for now.

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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...

Hi XDAers,
I have tried a number of things and is at a loss - I have a 2 years IMAT KJAM Wizard G4. The problem occured 2 days ago when the device just freezed on me. I did a soft reset, booted fine but then came up after the initial load screen (WizardLove AKU 2) with a white screen.
I have reloaded the IPL, flashed the ROM with WizardLove again, Hard reset back to factory defaults, soft resets the works.
After ROM flash it boots up, i get ActiveSync to load and connect fine. but with in 5 - 10 after having the phone up and working the screen goes white.
If any one has any idea what could up with the Wizard device please let me know?
Regards,
Hennie

I havent tried it yet but it worked for them
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.

Its working now
Hi,
sorry for my bad English.
so i have HD2 with HSPL and 2.10 radio installed (i didi it half year ago), i've been using Android and Stock WM (1.48). It was launching by Dula boot program on start. Two days ago my battery discharged (first time since I installed android) I plugged it in and charged a little bit then I turned it on and it stucked on HTC screen (white screen with Htc logo and radio and rom version on the bottom) I performed a soft reset few times and once it loaded to the PIN menu, but sreen wasn't responding so I made soft reset one more time, it loaded PIN menu again, I clicked my PIN then I chose to boot Android and it stucked on booting. Then I performed a Hard reset but it didn't help.
If it matters, I have still access to the bootloader.
Please help me. Thank You in advance.
