you should do is To perform a hard reset device Hard reset Soft reset
Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and the Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the lower left side of your device.
Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two soft key buttons. Release them only when you see the following message on your device screen: “Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.“
Press on your device. Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.

Seek advice on NO BOOTLOAD Screen

My MDA was unable to get back to bootload after a unsuccessful ROM upgrading. Is it possible to replace the ROM (hardware) so that I can save my MDA?
I tried the Power on key and softreset to reset it but only return to a messive screen.
Pls help. Thanks
cris...
you dont need to replace the hardware rom!!
try runing the upgrade program again, it sometimes picks up where it left off. if that dont work, try the SD card method.
i'd go into more details, but all that info is here in these forums already.
if u still need help though, contact me, and i'll try to help you.
good luck
Dear Ntabikha,
Thanks v much!
However, I tried the upgrade program many times and the decktop just said the computer cannot recognise the device.
So, I think method 1 is not possible.
For method two, I will try to put the nk.nbf file into my SD card and put it in the device and see whether the MDA can pick up the ROM. Will let you know whether it is successful.
BTW, when the screen is on, it only appears some fuzzy horizontal lines and two small empty boxes, have you seen this before?
Chris
yes, i had the same fuzzy lines. i fixed That problem via the SD card method.
just remember that, you have to write the nbf file to SD card, not just copy it to SD card
dont laugh, i did that mistake at first
good luck
How can I "write" it to the card?
I thought I only copy the file to the card through a SD reader.
Well, I know now, use rom kitchen to cook the rom and use osimagetool to copy the nb1 file into a sd card.
All i need to do next is to insert into the MDA and press power button together with softreset key for several times until successful....
Dear ntabikha,
I am still unable to obtain the bootloading screen of my MDA after inserting the SD with nb1 file written by xdatool. I tried many times power button and soft reset simultaneously (more than 20times) and the screen are still full of messy lines and 2 big empty boxes.
Can you help please? What is the fix broken bootloader in the xdatool?
I really did search around the forum but still can't be able to get back the bootloader screen. Pls help.

I'm wondering if you could not see bootloading screen , how could you use SD card to restore OS and bootloader ?
No, there is no bootloading screen at all.
I took the MDA out to a repair shop and they said that is a hardware failure. And they don't have the stock to replace it.
But I don't believe that cause I was just downloading the OS. It shouldn't hurt the hardware that much.....

I fixed couple such phones "horizontal lines and two small empty boxes" due to failure upgrading (all flash ROM messed up).
You have to use hardware flash ROM writer to wire the flash ROM pin to write bootloader and CE directly to chip.
I can help you to fix the problem (I'm in Canada, my email is [email protected])
Hi, I have similar trouble. My boss upgrade his MDA TMO (Austria) to official TMO version of OS and now it coming only to splash screen. MDA doesn't sync through cradle, doesn't seems to be charged, and I cannot enter BOOT mode for flashing ROM from SD card.
Is there any chance to fix it by myself?
Thanx, Ivan
TO CGIGATE: If you have any solution, can you post it here? Or it is so dangerous for nonexpert people? :wink:

If you don't have a working OS and a working bootloader, the only solution is hardware solution. You have to wire the flash chip directly to the flash ROM writer ...
yes, it is dangerous for nonexpert people
Thank you CGIGATE for quick answer. Anyway I wrote you an email, could you be so kind and send me informations how I can do that, or where I can find these steps?[/quote]

Try reflashing the ROM or switching ROMs.
I suppose you have HardSPL installed, it shouldn't be any problem!
In case you have any questions, please consult the Trinity Guides and the Wiki. There is also a Wiki page referring to SD Card flashing (my personal favorite which I recommend).

HARD SPL INSTALL FROM SD-CARD...help needed

Hi there,
I need to install hard SPL from the tri-color siutation. Therefore the installation should be performed by the use of SD-card.
I can read good guides on how to install hard spl through active sync, but not by the use of the SD card. Anybody who can help me?
Thank you.

I don't understand this post.
The question was: "How to install HardSPL from the micro-SDHC card"
This still isn't answered, only how to flash a ROM *.nbh file from the card, which we already knew.
So, the initial question - HardSPL from the card - remains in limbo ?
Later edit: unless it means that renaming HardSPL nbh file to POLAIMG.nbh and flashing off the card in Bootloader mode worked for someone ?
You can't install HardSPL from SD-card...
You need your device synchronized...read more this post

your PDA *MUST* be in WM and happily synced with the PC BEFORE running each new step.

Anyone in this community able to answer this question? - EDIT! - problem solved!

After emailing back and forth with the HTC support team about the Leo's "too loud ear piece" and after asking me a million questions they finally sent me the Debug tool 3.4 to run it in my Leo and send them the logfile.
Well the stupid application it's been running for days and never seems to stop. It did create some 20 DM files on my SD card which can't be seen in explorer anymore. I put it into a card reader to see what's happening.
I hard reseted my Leo to stop the debugging tool but no use, I reflashed, taken out the sd card, but nu use the darn thing still runs and kills my battery! WIFI doesn't work either!!!
What should I do?
Please help!!!

Format Your sdcard. the file must be on there if youve reflashed

I even swapped SD cards, formatted them you name it I've done it!
Please share your wisdom if you have an answer!!!
PS debug tool 3.4 is what's causing the problem!
Are you doing a hard reset without your sd card inserted?..
If the answer is yes, then try..
format your sd card, then flash a new rom using goldcard method.... it is virtually impossible for the file to stay storaged in the sd (after format) or the device (beacuse u did format it when doing the flashing process).
In makes sense but!

I know hard reset should have helped, but try letting the phone empty and then remove the battery for a couple of hours-day, then try it agian.
Mabey I don't get the question but.. how come it's still working with the debugging tool while the phone is flashed? The debugging tool is prob. placed on a special sector of the main memory normaly not accessed by a rom, the program it self doesn't run from normal memory sectors, so you might have a try with a SPL update/overwright. If all fails send it back, why would htc give you this program? they allways say send it back and you'll get a new one?...
please post the tool, might give some insight after disasm. MFG area is interesting.
It's been written to special memory place.
Again, please post the tool you were given
how are you doing a hard reset?, are you using the clean memory tool software on your device, or are u pressing vol up and down simultaneously while powering on the device...... I just dont get how the program stays in memory after hard reset, even after flashing.

I've attached the toll. I finally got rid of it by being able to rerun the program (which i prior tried a million times) and rewrite the parametres to "0" instead of 435 and 401. Give it a go if you know what you're doing and you can read log files.
regards,
G
You got rid of it. I edit out the post
Solution:
First backup your SD, after format with FAT32 .... reinstall your ROM and after insert your SD.
got dmmnit, glad u got rid of it, maybe we can learn how it.doez stick to the rom like that n use it in other apps like smartprotect. congrats!:
hi, do u mind sharing how u got rid of it?
I run this tool too, but after have no way to stop first try to read forum. Solution to stop program already is given from wmfreak. It is not need to make hard reset or to reformat SD card. Only things to do is to run program one more time and:
