hi guys
i'm having the hardest time EVER to find a guide to reload a shipped rom to a HTC DREAM. can someone please give me a "walk through" with whatever files are required?
it'll be highly appreciated.
the handset came in this morning, boots up but has no menu, tried doing a hard reset and then it only comes up with a screen saying "cyanogen mod" and the android logo wrapped in a circle. and that's where it stays.
please guys, i'm desperate
How Long did you wait for?
One if the Rom updates was taking for ever to get the phone to start, I left phone for 30 min while I watch tv. All worked fine, just took longer to start the first time. Maby that is what is happening to you.

if you leave the phone for about 30 mins it goes into it's "normal" mode, asking you to "set it up", but as you progress thru the "set up" stages, it gets an error and goes into "standby" screen... NO MENU's after that
Sounds like you have to reinstall the Rom.

i know, that's why in my 1st post i asked for info on the ROM and flashing
what are you trying to do exactly?
can you get into recovery mode ? holding (home+power)
can you access bootloader screen? holding (camera+power)
What is your current radio, hboot?

Hello Legend owners, Im posting on behalf of a friend. His Legend suddenly lost all signals last night....no phone, no 3g. So, I just tried the following: soft reset, hard reset, factory reset...now it is in an endless boot loop. It turns on and gets to home screen to set up (due to factory reset), but it will just suddenly turn itself off and then reboot. Sometimes when it gets to the home screen I slide the lock down and it reverts to the HTC (quietly brilliant) startup screen?? He got this phone through Bell here in Canada, so he is in for a long drawn out pile of BS to get a replacement unless someone here has any advice for me. Ive had a couple of android phones and im no stranger to abd, fastboot, etc...
Thanks in advance,
brunswick
You probably shouldn't post the same (ish) question in both sections
Obtain a logcat to see why it's looping. Post it here (pastebin) if you don't know what to look for
Ok my bad about the double post. Wasnt really sure which section was more appropriate. Not too sure how to perform the logcat. Where would I look for the right RUU?

I thought you'd know how to use logcat.
Code:
adb logcat
As for RUUs, look at shipped-roms
Yup I can figure it out. Will try and find time tomorrow night. Have it running again but still no signal.

Hello..I am a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Galaxy Tab and i wanted to use LCD Density. So i rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367) .I change to the new resolution 130Dpi,and restart the device.But then it stock on the logo.I tried factory restore but didn''t work. Next i tried http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/ho...msung-vibrant/ . Every thing worked perfect,but after i finished the device starts for 2-3sec then shuts down.I don''t know what to do.I am afraid i did something very wrong.But everything i did was exactly as i saw on forum and everything went exactly as it supouose to be. Thank you!
Today i woke up a little disperate and i tried http://www.techlivez.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-galaxy-s-to-android-2-2-tutorial/. Now it's not starting at all,and the flashlight(from camera) it's stays on).If i press the power button for a few second the flash goes out but after 2-3 sec it's back.
PS:i am from Romania,bought my Tab from Orange
Had the same problem here, your phone is blocking at the Samsung screen, your phone is actualy booted but not able to load touchwiz. wich app did you use? If you used one which survives reboot you have a problem otherwise hold the start button for more then 7 seconds and it should work.

Hey guys
I am really sad because my wildfire became handicapped today...
I was playing around with it surfing and playing games
Then I put it on the table played abit on the pc but when I picked it up again the screen didn't turn on when I press unlock I felt feedback so it means the phone works the screen isn't tried restart it vibrates but doesn't turn on screen...
What can be the cause?
Is it because I updated nightlys every two or so days?
Thanks
Plug battery out. And plug it. It happen for me a few times in nightly
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
tried everything...
battery pull out, charge it, remove sim\sd... anything...
----
oh and forgot to mention
right before the screen died it went white then it never turned on again
is there a way to flash an rom to the wildfire without touching the device? i.e cable?
i currently have no screen but the device is alive...
Is your screen completely dead? Or only after booting? I.e can you see the bootamimation? Try booting into bootloader mode (volume down + power)
If your screen is completely dead it might be a hardware issue.

Why is this in the Dev Forum? Please move!
Yes perhaps it is in the wrong section but by posting that your basically spamming up the forum.
Anyway on topic i agree find out if it really is your screen or just a dodgy flash of a rom

sorry didnt know where to post,
and no i dont even see the animation... as i turn it on i only feel vibration for a sec then i can hear it boot.. but still no screen..
oddly it was after flashing a nightly..
and as i asked:
can anyone tell me if theres a way to flash RUU without screen ? i suspect it might be a problem with software..
Hmmmm you could get sdk and get mobile on pc screen.
not too sure but exhaust all avenues. Have you tried soft reset?
Vol down + power + trackball

In my experience with ipods, a white screen is usually a hardware issue (ie it needs changing), which seems to be consistent with what you experience (no startup logo).
I hope it is not the case for you, and that your problem will be solved by flashing a different rom.
So, I cannot seem to get into bootloader on an HD2. This isn't my phone and I did not perform the original flash, so I'm not quite as familiar with the HD2 toolchain.
The problem is simple, I cannot load into the tri color bootloader. I haven't ever been able to, so I don't have anything to trace to what apparently removed it.
I still can however use MAGLDR to boot android from NAND and flash android roms etc.
The trouble is this phone needs to be shipped to HTC for repair and I need to restore to stock, but I cannot reach boot loader to use any tools or flash any stock roms etc. I saw something on the JTAG restore product but I thought wasn't ideal if still under warranty.
Pretty desperate here since the warranty period ends real soon. thanks for any help!
Just to make sure....In order to reach the boot loader screen, you need to turn off the phone and then hold the volume down button and power button until the boot loader screen pops up. Just making sure you did this!
yeah, been trying that to no avail
Can still get to MAGDLR real easy though.
thanks

Out of curiosity, are any of your buttons not working?
most are working just fine. Only weird this is the red hang up\power button brings up the shut down menu on a single press from time to time once inside android. I believe it to be caused the original issue (random boot lock ups that take anywhere from 2 min to boot android or 25 min, or doesn't at all before battery dies) but this phone has been so flaky its been impossible at times to reproduce results.

Thanks for the response, I'm not to familiar with the hd2 tools/commands is this likely to help with the power button issue or the "missing" bootloader? Sorry for not googling but have limited connection atm so barley got this message out

HI,
My reply was not relevant.
Sorry I could not help.
If I am reading right this sounds like a similar issue which I had. I went from my car which had really cold A/C and then went to my room which was really hot. There was condensation on the phone and did not think much of it. My buttons started either acting strange or not working. First I tried putting the phone in some rice as rice tends to attract water molecules. This did not work. I then sprayed windex with the phone off and batter, sdcard, simcard out and then wiped down the phone put it in the rice for about an hour or 2. After I did this a few times my buttons started working normal again. No more safe mode and all my buttons work.
Either that or your volume down button is just not working. In which case I don't believe there is any other way to enter the bootloader. If you can connect through microsoft activesync you may be able to restore the original windows 6.5 that way.
Only thing is the vol down button works fine once boot in android. Power button is only weird one and its only acting up depending on the moon phase apparently.

Ok so I was searching for some links on using active sync to flash but any guide I find also is using HSPL to do the flash which is not apparently present on the device. Would you happen to have any links on performing a flash via active sync that doesn't involve any sort of SPL?
Thanks a bunch
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
HSPL is what is used to flash any rom that is not an original from tmobile. SPL is the original that would have come onto the phone and locks the phone from installing any roms except tmobile. With the hspl program you need to be able to boot into boot loader. I have tried windows mobile device center which is what is used in windows 7 instead of active sync but it does not connect. I am afraid that you are stuck unless you can get into boot loader somehow. The only way I know is to hold the volume down button as soon as you power the phone on.

I'm sending mine back to HTC
FINALLY!
All I did was...wait. I took the battery out for a couple hours, and tried again and bam it came up! I tried for like two days before this. I then followed the standard LEOIMG.nbh to the sd card and it restored win mobile and SPL just fine.
I guess it sounds crazy but just take the battery out for a while or overnight perhaps. I really didn't do anything so that's all I have to offer.
I think this HD2 has an overheating issue or something because it starts to act up once on after a while (power button...boot problems as described above).
whats up all,first off i never rooted or anything to my atrix but install the ota updates. today i unlocked my phone and there were pop ups on my screen saying, multiple processes had stopped working unexpectantly,so i pressed ok and then my phone just keeps rebooting to the moto logo or sometimes goes back to the home screen and the pop ups come up again,then it reboots. i cant use it or do anything. sometimes the LED blinks white,i dont know what that means,somebody plz help me,thx in advance
Are you on gb or froyo

Can you boot it into fastboot/recovery at all? (Turn on while holding Vol down)

Sounds like a weird bootloop problem but then you said sometimes it goes to the home screen and then it shuts itself down. Try switching your phone off and switch it back on WHILE pressing(and holding) the volume down button on your phone and let us know if you see "fastboot" written on the screen? You should do.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
thx for the responses,yes it says fastboot and just sits there
So it just says "fastboot" and not "unlocked....fastboot"?
Either way, when you get to where it says "fastboot", press Vol down until it says "Android Recovery" and then press Vol up.
If you haven't flashed CWM you should get the little android with the triangle. At this point, press both volume buttons at the same time.
You should get a menu, use the volume keys to navigate to "Wipe" and then there should be an option at the bottom/left of the screen for "okay" and select that.

If your phone says "unlocked" they'll charge your bill 175 because that's user damage

I would have replied if I saw this earlier, but yes, other posters were right.
The solution to bootloops in 99.9% of cases is wipe data / factory reset. That should have fixed things up for you. But if you get a shiny new phone, that ain't bad either i reckon.
Thx for all the help!!!!
