My P4350 won't start anymore

My Herald doesn't start anymore the battery was empty the day before I charged it.. I also answered a call when the battery was almost empty.. after that I put it on the AC to charge it..
the day after.. I turned it on.. the htc screen came.. the windows mobile screen came (I upgraded to WM6) and the the screen goes black and restarts htc screen again.. and so on and so on what is wrong?
if you need to know more then let me know.. but I don't want to take it to a repair centre yet.. please help!

What rom are you using? Try hard resetting the phone. If not, try reloading the stock RUU thru bootloader mode.

hmm I don't know the exact number since I can't check it I do have these numbers:
4.17.404.2
4.1.13.44
02.94.90
these are noted on the exe file of the RUU. It's a dutch version.

try to hold the camera button while turning the device on... if you can get into bootloader, it should show the ipl/spl info... and u should be able to flash the oem rom from there

If it turns on this probably isn't the problem, but it should be noted that discharging a lithium ion battery completely will make it useless; it will no longer hold a charge.
I don't know the circumstances so I can only suggest things where I've seen a reset like that... if you have a memory card in try popping it out and then turning it on.

thank you kraftey
it worked! the phone reached the today screen after I popped out the memory card.. That is really bizar.. it would be nice of HTC came with a update for this

My p4350 have the some problem !
I have tried 2 diferent Roms , one of them the Ruu , and have the same problem ! Only with the memory card out it start :/ Im thinking send the Htc to the repair center ...

Is it looping when the memory card is in? But when you remove the card it boots normally?
If that's the problem, you probably have something installed on ur memory card that's causing the loop... try this
take out ur memory card,
Try using a file explorer (like resco or total commander)
and go into your Windows directory and rename a file called
omap850_sdhc.dll into omap850_sdhc.dll.old then soft reset your phone and it should start working fine.

Hi I'm having the same problem.
Now I see the File but it wont Rename. Everytime I Change de name it pops back to its original name.

install total commander or an alternate file explorer ... don't use the built in one.

Im using a pdaviet Rom, resco explorer and tottal commander dont allowed me rename that file

If it doesn't work, first try a hard reset.
If that doesn't work, try reflashing.
If none of the above work, all you can do is hard-spl.
Hope it helps.

delete the file... and soft reset.

I took the time to write this up because i know how frustrating it can be to brick your phone it has happened to me before trying to update it but I've learned how to flash my phone & done it successfully more then 5 times so far so read this careful before trying it out.
you can install this update with Rom Manager worked perfect for me I've installed 3 of Eugene's Froyo updates with this method just make sure you are rooted first & running kernel 2.6.32.9
or use this kernel here below
Vibrant Kernel Back Support for new Builds
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796425
Download Eugene's Froyo 2.2 Macnut update from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820414
here's a step by step on how i did it
1. make sure to back up all your applications first! I used App Saver FREE application from the market. Open App Saver run it & save your applications this app will save them to the internal SD card so look for the folder called app saver copy & paste it to your External SD card using Astro File Manager FREE application on the market.
2. download macnutR5 update to your phone
3. remove external sd card once you back up your applications
4. install paid version of rom manager
5. open rom manager click on the first option flash clockworkMod Recovery choose Galaxy S Vibrant hit allow on super permissions then click ok.
6. click on install ROM from SD card
7. go to your download folder & point it to the MacnutR4 zip folder hit install
8. optional choose back up current Rom & clear date & cache but no necessary
then let it do its thing it might take 3-5 minutes to finish the update i noticed the update went faster when i plugged the phone to a power outlet.
note 1: this update will delete your apps and you will have to start from scratch but if you back up your apps with App Saver you will be fine read step 1.
note 2: once your done make sure to go into settings mobile networks then network mode and choose WCDMA ONLY! if not you will have 3G problems.
enjoy FROYO!
I'm loving froyo running flash 10.1 watching my NFL games from my phone!

is jit working on the newer froyo roms?

If you click on the link to the ROM you would have read:
~ Working jit ( 14 MFLOPS is about all we get.. 16 ish if overclocked to 1.2Ghz)

GPS still not working in Froyo ROMs for vibrant.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I've NEVER removed a memory card to flash, any real reason for adding that step in your guide?
GPS issues should be stated, agreed ^

You should remove your SD card because some ROMs have bugs and have the tendency of wiping it clean.

So what's the purpose of the Kernal? You didn't mention what to do with it.

In near 3 years I have never heard a developer say to take out your sd card, and I've never heard anyone lose the data on their sd card....

I've had my SD card wiped before. But it wipes the internal card, not the external so removing that wouldn't do much good.

I'm more intrigued at how you are watching NFL games on your phone!? Link?

^ froyo = flash - sites like atdhe.net work... the nfl app is pretty sweet too.
^^ right, that was my whole point... removing the external sd card seems pointless, hence why I spoke up.

Where's the phone from? Is it a contract phone or bought unbranded? What country?
Go to htc.com, select the country the phone is from, choose support, downloads, filter the list for rom updates, if the phone was contract look for a rom with that network in the name, if not try the rom with HTC in the name. If serial isn't accepted you made a mistake.
There are exceptions, cos some countries must sell phones unlocked, so a contract phone will still take the unbranded rom. Get the country right and start trying downloads till you get serial accepted.

I''ve found the ROM it was from Greece and followed this:
1. Place the LEOIMG.nbh on a 8GB or smaller microSD card. DONE
2. Remove the battery cover and press the Reset button.DONE
3. Hold the Volume Down and End Call (power) buttons at the same time.DONE
4. As soon as "Searching..." appears on the screen, release the Volume Down button. Searching is not showing
It shows this and that is it

Im using 2Gb brand new and formated in FAT32

In that case it must be the leoimg.nbh, extract it again. (not just renaming the .exe are you? Wouldn't be the first)

Hi,
The "serial" should change to "USB".
The main reason this is NOT happening,is when your pc/laptop is missing certain drivers.
These are obtained from Activesync in XP,and WMDC in Windows 7.
Make sure you have the lastest versions,and try again.

4k (4096) alocation size? probably shouldnt matter, but worth checking everything, and since we are checking basics, do a full format, not a quick format.

Hi,
Extract with winrar or 7z the RUU_Leo_HTC_****************************_Ship.exe
find the larger *.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh and place this file on an sd card that is 4gb or less
and reboot to bootloader (the one with 4 colors,hold volume down button until you see "SEARCHING")
follow the instructions from there
If the leoimg.nbh is on the root of your sd card,it will start itself.
Just follow the onscreen instructions.

OK so i got somewhere :
But i"m stuck here for about 20min now ..... and nothing

What I learned about upgrading to a 16GB SD Card

What To Know When Getting a Bigger SD Card I found out the hard way after getting a 16GB PNY Class 10 card for my x10. I had my backups and all that. I copied from the old card to the new one. Then things began acting odd. process.android.media error was really bothering me on startup. So I looked around and found a few suggestions, like clear data drom download manager and media storage. These didnt help at all. I got to looking around under the app management, because I noticed a few app shortcuts were gone. So it was a step in the right direction. I clicked the on SD card tab, started scrolling and said well the last app I moved was this... so I clicked it and went to move it back to the internal memory. It errored out and said something to the effect it was not installed. I went on a witch hunt from that point forward. Apparently Gingerbread will let you know something is amiss. It will have a generic icon and or a checkmark next to the app. I figured thus far the ones with a checkmark could be moved, the ones with a generic icon, were missing and therefore I had to click on each one and uninstall. After doing this all was well. As I really didnt want to move every app back to the internal storage, besides I would have ran out of room too.
The first mistake I realized I made was that, I should have busted out the sd card reader. I was doing this at my mothers and said well its easier. No... Because of the swapping and therefore powercycling the x10. The os scanned or tried to load some apps. There is where it all started going downhill. I thought well I am staying on the same rom, whats the harm.
Important steps / tips I learned.
1. Use a card reader, to transfer all files from old to new card. This also helps with making sure you have a backup too.
2. Consider uninstalling all apps from sdcard, or move them. Depending on situation. I use Titanium Backup & My BackUp Root, so I opt for uninstalling them.
3. Restore your uninstalled apps, or move them back afterwards.
4. Find an app or script to verify all apps are installed correctly? (Dont know if it exists) Otherwise launch each one or verify there are no missing icons or checkmarks present.
Now on to the new adventure of partitioning. I have came across some tips here and there. None really all that dramatic. I am still looking for a guide/line for setting up more than 2 partitions. This is how I have my desktop, but android is a little different. So far I have learned that if you use a Mac, you should bootcamp, dualboot, VM, or boot a linux cd for partitioning. I have not found the right app or terminal commands to make it easier to do. Perhaps I need a better rom. I am fairly happy with zmodv3 hotfix 3. I also think the unlocked bootloader is a blessing and a curse (kernel hell). I still like the CM based ROMS, but am thoroughly turned off by all this MIUI stuff. I may own a Mac, but think iphones are shaat.

Suggestions and links are welcome. Please no flaming or bashing about what I have wrote. We all know about opinions.... Besides I have to sart posting sooner or later.
After some more tinkering 11/11/11- I have discovered that there is an issue with xrec 0.3gb ready, on zmod hotfix3. If you use xrec to make a full backup after reboot there is that error again. This can be resolved by clearing market and storage data. It works fine via CWM 4or5 recovery.

Thanks from this, I'm about to order a newer card off eBay.

I just got myself a new card yesterday and I just backed up using titanium, then copied everything to the new card, then do a fresh install of my rom (CM nightly).

This Info was very helpful. Thanks

There are a few guides on that. Use windows or a linux based boot cd. Make 2 partitions and they must be primary fat32 (safest). It depends on the phone really. Have not used a 32GB, allot say it works fine and some out there say no. If you need exact walkthru just google it.

I am not very happy with my rom right now, will be changing. But that is a good Idea to reinstall the rom. I just didnt want to wipe everything for a rom Im not real happy with. I had to get a bigger card to make a backup with. The shuffling from x10 to desktop was really bothersome.

can the
can the x10 go upto 32gb?

Tinkering with Xperia Arc S in November 2018

I decided to revive my old Sony Xperia Arc S using new ROMs and wanted to find out what all is working at present. (my phone was already running CM 11 for a long time). the camera was dead and the keys were a bit wonky but the phone was functional. I decided to try CM13 from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...dev-2011-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3323975
after tinkering for sometime in my Windows 10 64bit it seems that the fastboot drivers don't work in windows 10 (also 8.1) as they are not signed and I didn't want to mess with my main windows install.
So I installed a windows 7 32 bit in a virtual machine (virtualbox), then installed flashtool drivers (selected options for xperia arc, flashtool drivers and fastboot drivers).
then downloaded the latest build of CM13. as the phone already had CM11 I booted into recovery and went into fastboot mode but for some reason I got an error saying 'not able to attach sony device to the virtual machine' or something like that. luckily opening virtualbox as administrator solved the problem and the phone was detected. followed the instructions in the CM13 thread - formatted a 32gb class 10 card (kingston) as ext4 for data partition using minitool partition wizard, then sideloaded the CM13 zip and HDPI gapps. rebooted to system but only CM logo was looping. tried different things but nothing worked. after I removed the card and used a different one (sandisk 32gb class 4 ) and repeated the install, it booted and worked.
as the phone was very slow with CM13 (mainly due to my slow card) I wanted to try if it can be flashed to the original gingerbread ROM. it was very difficult to search for the ROM as almost all links were just dead. my old backups came to the rescue. also for some reason the latest flashtool version in its homepage doesn't install a 32-bit version and also doesn't recognise the ICS firmware ftf file. so installed flashtool v0.9 that I found from my old backups. booted the phone in flash mode and flashed the gingerbread ROM. though it is outdated and not much features the phone was fast. after using it for sometime, flashed the ICS ROM. it also worked as expected. then rooted the phone using eroot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711). it also worked and SuperSU was installed in the ICS ROM.
now I came across the lineage 14.1 ROM in the CM13 thread and decided to give it a try. then found out that my option key is not working properly and was not able to enter fastboot mode. fortunately 'adb reboot bootloader' worked and the phone booted into fastboot. flashed the LOS14.1 boot.img and used the same microsd card that I used for CM13. followed similar instruction for the CM13 now using the TWRP recovery for LOS14.1. everything went well and phone booted up. the setup closed a couple of times but then eventually worked. calling, 3g data, wifi working in LOS14.1. as said above due to my slow card the phone is very very slow. I have ordered a sandisk class 10 32gb card. will test with that to see if it is better.
if anyone is looking for India ROM or the old flashtool, ask me I will attach/upload here.

just slightly better. not much speed improvement. I guess the limited RAM and outdated CPU are real bottlenecks here.

heyif youve rooted this I was wondering if you could send me whatever is in the /sys/kernel file my phone wont initialize hdmi it keeps saying

so im thinking if I get that file my hdmi will work im on a stock rom , maybe cwm flashing doesnt keep this file however i cannot just repair the firmare as this is a debug phone with debug software according to this site : https://tthtlc.wordpress.com/2011/12/29/playing-with-ftrace-option-on-my-xperia-arc-s/ i should have the file in my sys/kernel so if you could send it to me id love you forever lol this has been driving me nuts
