Do a camera power reset and try again.

i tried that and it didnt do anything at all. isnt that just where you hold the end key and the side camera key and stick the stylus into the hole?
if so, it have any different effect than the standard soft reset

Hold down the power button and the camera button at the same time until the tri colored bootloader comes up. If that works, try flashing the stock rom for your carrier.
If that doesn't work try the same steps with the memory card removed.
If that doesn't work try to do a hard reset and see if that will take you to the bootloader.
Also, what are the numbers in on the bootloader...are you sure your device is unlocked? I believe it should say... SPL-00.40.coke... on the 2nd line if your unlocked.

You shouldn't need to connect to activesync to reboot. After you run ImCokeMan's unlocker you should be unlocked until you run it again.
As I said in the last post, all you have to do to get to the boot loader is hold down the power and camera buttons at the same time. This will put the phone into the boot loader and you should be able to flash back to the stock rom and start over.
It kind of sounds like you relocked the phone and then tried to boot a custom rom.

sorry i wasnt saying i needed to connect to activesync to reboot, i was saying i needed to connect to activesync to flash, and it wouldnt boot up so i couldnt get to activesync.
and i did to imcokemans unlocker, and everything went fine. when i was setting up the device (ie. setting password, time zone, calibration, etc...) i just decided that i didnt need to finish that as i was intending on flashing a custom rom anyway, and so any settings i put up the time to set would be erased.
having said that, i went ahead and starting flashing a custom rom right from the wm welcome screen that you get on a first boot.
thanks a LOT for your help, promptness, and attention

So are you back up and running?

well, now i am. i just took a 30 min drive down to the sprint store and got a replacement :S
thanks a lot for your help though, im scared i may really need to refer back to this thread later. but if i do, at least i know i should be able to fix it!
thanks.

well, i just did it again. i must be doing something wrong in the cooking of my ROMs...about to try out your solution..hope it works!!
wish me luck :S :S :S :S

well i was able to re-flash, but, unfortunately, it is stuck in the same "htc smart mobility" screen again. i think i have been able to narrow it down to the oemizer app. i must be doing something wrong in there.
oemizer http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=100746&referrerid=10115
ill keep cooking and trying tonight until i find what it is the problem is i guess, thx for your help guys. especially you 360discgolf.

well, after cooking and flashing too many times to remember this late, all i can do is ask for help when you guys wake up and check this thread.
in the last couple of builds i havent been doing anything with oemizer at all and it still hasnt been working, and i dont think i am doing anything extra in buildos that i havent done before in successful ROM images...it seems sort of erratic.
any suggestions/hints/comments would be great, thanks a lot.

you can't just hold the two buttons and press the reset. You have to hold the two buttons at the same time, then while holding them, use the stylus to hold the reset until it restarts. If you just tap the reset button while hold, it doesn't work.

i'm having a similar problem. my attempt at flashing didn't go over that well and now when I turn off the device, I can't turn it on again unless I do a soft reset. I tried doing the power/camera thing but all it does is ask "are you sure, yada yada" and then the devices turns off. you were talking about a stock rom? where would I get one and how would I re-flash the rom (assuming that's the problem in the first place.).
Thanks!

what carrier are you?
EDIT: also:
1) what os version are you running? (build number)
2) what radio are you running?
3) what bootloader are you on? (can be accessed via holding power + camera button and poking reset hole)
4) what are the orange numbers in the very bottom right of the screen when you are booting up?
these kinds of things all need to kind of jive for the sleep function to work correctly

If you used the imcokemans unlocker a 2nd time, I believe you re-lock your phone.
You also mentioned that you tried to flash the ROM from the Welcome Screen. That certainly won't work. You have to be at the unlocked rainbow bootloader screen which will load when you run the RUU or when you press Power-Camera-Reset. If it doesn't go into bootloader then you've probably re-locked your phone.

haha sorry this is a problem that i had a VEERRRRY LONG time ago. have learned a lot since since then, now it is this other fella here we are trying to help him
thx tho!

uh oh [HELP PLEASE]

sorry for the caps.
btw hello everyone
well lets just get to my problem.
i installed the touch it program rom thingy or whatever to my phone
and now im trying to restore it back to its original settings...
the only reason im doing that is because i cant connect the phone to the usb anymore. it WONT connect.
so im trying to restore it.
please help!
thanks!
or can someone just tell me how to reconnect it to my computer please?
i've tried different ports on the computer
and restarted it
but nothing, so please help me restore to factory settings or be able to use windows mobile device center
thanks!

maybe activesync didn't install properly when you flashed it..
or.. you should try the activesync uninstall/reinstall trick..
or a corrupt system file and you just have to hard reset the phone..
hmm..... good question

hard reset is when you press the clear storage right? or when u take out the battery while its still running??
well even if those arent hard resets i've tried them and none work
=[

A hard reset is preformed as follows:
-Hold down the two softkeys on the front of the device (the ones above the Windows logo and the OK button)
-Press the reset button using the stylus, which you can find below the volume adjuster on the left hand side of the device
-Release the stylus, but keep the softkeys held down
-You will see a warning screen
-Press the green send key on the left - the one with the phone icon on it to confirm the reset.
After that it will take a little while longer to start up the phone.
Btw if you by "original settings" mean restoring your official ROM a hard reset won´t do. You will need to flash the official ROM to go back if I´m not mistaken.

thanks for the info!

hey again

Did you hardSPL? What SPL / IPL version is shown on the multicolor screen?

Are you just trying to go back to the stock ROM becasue of the AS problem? Did you try a reinstall? After you uninstall before reinstalling AS go into your program files on the PC and delete the activesync folder.
If you HARDSPL'ed you need a STOCK ROM without the nbh. file. Thats why its kicking back to TOUCH.
Good Luck

my phone is stuck at the startup screen!!!

my phone is tuck at the startup screen and i dont know how to fix it!!! is there way to fix this issue cuz its the 1st time its happened

Sounds like you need to Hard Reset... This will, unfortunately, put it back to factory standard - all contacts/sms/apps deleted.
Hold down left & right softkey thenuse the sylus to reset. It will ask if you want to reset, push r then spacebar. It should now go back to the alignment screen and go through the setup process again.
Best idea is to get a backup program like SPB Backup 2 or something in case this happens again. Also, if you haven't already, install Hard SPL ver 7 available for download here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722

thnx alot!!! it wurked n iont have 2 b grounded lol thnx for ya help!!!

My HTC cha cha is stuck!
It is stuck at the startup, :
white screen with "quietly brilliant" logo.
then it`ll blank in black for awhile before repeating the same thing over and over again
any idea? please help me?

Maybe someone can rescue me (quick! EEK!)

Hi all,
Maybe someone can help me out!
I am stuck at work - cant even really surf but had to post as I just feckered my mates HD2!
BOOOOO!!
So I installed HSPL and its still there.
Flashed up to energy ROM (APRIL 1st)
Then got stuck in reboot cycle - phone wouldnt boot unless it had power plugged in.
Took battery out of it and put mine in it which had higher charge - not much.
Then I got it booted into 6.5. Customised and changed settigns for Vodaphone.
Rebooted and phone stuck in loop again.
Couldnt get back into Vodaphone.
Went to bootloader and then used the official:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
Flashed the bugger.
Then tried to boot again.
No boot without power inserted
Phone will not complete boot even with power
gives HTC white welcome, shows ROM etc
vibrates backto HTC white welcome.
Rinse
Repeat
Can anyone give me any ideas what I can do with this? He is coming to get it at 5.30; I am meant to have FPSECE Morph gear and all sorts of other shizzle for him
He is going to get a brick
any ideas would be GREATLY welcome.
no flames please if I missed something, I am desperate to sort this quick and quiet.

Try make Task29 and then reflash Radio and ROM, it could help you i think...

Have you installed radio 2.08 ?
You should. You can install it by downloading it and use customRUU to install the file.
Put phone in bootloader first.
Your mate's phone will be revived

What radio do you have installed. The NRG roms require radio 2.08.50 in order to boot.

Yea sounds like a radio issue. You didn't mention what phone? US Tmo HD2 or everywhere else HD2?

Is GSM HD2
I have done all above task 29 new radio - loads of roms.....stuck in circle.
Phone will not boot without apower lead in it
Ahh feck [email protected]

What version radio does it read then when you are stuck in your bootscreen ?
is it still 2.06 or 2.08 now ?
Installing HSPL doen NOT upgrade your Radio.
What is your SPL version ?
And "fecking ass" is groce. Try fecking some koent.

Actually they dont require 2.08... they require a radio without .51 numbering.
You can use
2.07.50.27
or
2.08.50.08
either will work just fine.

True, I use 2.07 (old signature LOL), but just mentioned 2.08 as it's the recommended one.

Oh ****e
Ok all,
Big warning to all here:
See my attached image.
I bent the left most battery connection pin out a tiny little bit - so little I didnt notice it.
Then the phone would obviouslly only boot without the power plugged in.
The pin was being pushed out! and not connecting with the battery.
I bent it back and it booted whilst I was explaiing that I was having teething trouble with his new ROM.
HAHA
Thanks VERY much to all for ideas and fast feedback - really thought I done it in then! Bloody hell Id have had to give him mine!!!
OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
@ the try some Koent line......OH GOD LOLOLOL
Waht with the relief of fixing the device and a joke like that, I was ROFL ing it - Not RALPH ing it...
Thanks again all

Yarod, the above advice for the radio version applies only to the custom rom.
By flashing a factory rom from the memory card you have probably overwritten hspl which is why this dosen't boot.
First thing to do is reflash hspl in the bootloader, via usb. If you remove your memory card and hard reset, then you should get a working phone. Assuming it's a vodafone branded handset you can use a vodafone branded rom without the need for hspl - there's a 1.66 version up on the uk site.
If you want a custom rom, use hspl and check the radio requirements before flashing
and most importantly flash via the usb only to avoid overwriting hspl.
hth,
mike

hah! bent pin, nice one. Bet you felt a huuuge wave of relief wash over ya when it booted eh? Gotta love that post adrenaline comedown.

here we go again with another victim....
1. Hard reset
a. turn off your HD2
b. hold Volume up and down and press end button till it will vibrate show white screen that you wanna hard reset
c. release volume up and down
d. press volume up for continue Hard reset
e. press volume up for continue boot up
it will boot up your device...
2. install radio for energy click here or herefor download
3. Use Customs RUU from here
4. flash your radio
5. now you are good to go....
i hope this helps i know how you feel cause i had same problem and this phone worth a lot so... take care...

Another reboot loop victim...
Bent battery pin seems to have been the culprit for me as well! sat on charge now to get it to 100% before I start reinstalling cabs and stuff.

HELP !!!!!

Hi i have a TP2 and i installed an app called truecaller (Beta version) now it says its over and i have a screen that tells me its over and to go to website to buy/get newer version ......i cant get rid of that screen and my phone isnt working i have tried a hard reset but nothing it wont connect to my pc ...its locked up i neeed help !!!!!

If you get into the bootloader screen(hold power and down key while restting) you can flash your rom from there. since you allready did a hard reset that wont be much of a leap for you i wouldnt think.

i dont have a down key...if i do a hard reset and start phone with no sim its fine as soon as i add sim and restart i get that damn screen

You said that you installed that program yourself. Then you didn't hard reset. Otherwise the program would be gone. Press the call button + end button + power on. That is the way to hard reset.

i have hard reset about 10 times now ............im gonna try to flash a diff rom and see what happens but im so confused as to what this is all about

Did you already try to contact the maker of the program? Maybe they know of the issue, and also have a solution.

Really strange if you cant get rid of that screen after a hardreset(sounds impossible)
I have to ask you, have you mixed up hard reset with soft reset, dont mean to offend you but I have heard it happened for some...

im not offended ...yeah i did hard resets (hold power ,call and end key ) still couldnt get rid of it i flashed back to a prev energy rom and all is ok .......i just want my sense 2.5 back ....lol thank for all ya input
