htc Herald-- just bootloader (killed by hardSPL)

well folks, u know the story. a Herald killed by hardSPL, of course i not take advice in (if your ipl/spl is 1.08.0001... dont try!!) well, i ran it and phone just died inmediately
the main story is.. ive been playing with bootloader mode. I was searching and searching about bootloader commands and what can be done. Can it be repaired via bootloader commands? sending to HTC is a expensive-and took so many days..
Now i have a bulk paperweight.. pls.. i know there's a solution for that.
every tool says about error 300, and i dont have Windows Mobile 5 original ROM (french one) to try...
I know we can.. its just find the correct command
update 1: ive managed ROMUpdateUtility and ive found some commands! (i know it!)
here is the list:

[SOLVED] Connection Error [262]. Stuck in bootloader (tri color) mode.

I'm new in these forums as well I'm new with flashing ROMs so obviously I messed up flash process and my device stuck in bootloader (tri-color) mode. This post I address to those unfortunate like me .
# Symptoms #
- ROM flash started and stopped at 17%. After recovery flash process stucks at 0% and pops Connection Error 262. Device is stuck in bootloader mode not possible to flash anything, hard reset does not help, flash from SD card does not help either.
# Possible cause for that #
1. In bootloader mode device shows:
Code:
Pola100
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
means that Hard SPL was not flashed before flashing ROM file (if Hard SPL was flashed then in second line will be written SPL-2.20.Olinex.).
2. Connection between ActiveSync and device was not established when flashing ROM file.
Before to go any further please take your time and read Polaris Wiki to get familiar with glossary and acronyms used here.
PROCEED ONLY if flashing original ROM does not help, hard reset does not help and flash from SD card does not work.
# Solution #
1. Download MTTY software.
2. Kill ActiveSync (Press Ctrl-Alt-Del and stop rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe processes).
3. Plug Polaris into usb port (Plug directly not through hubs).
4. Start MTTY after chose USB from PORT dropdown list (if it is not listed there then ActiveSync processes were not stopped).
5. in window type: set 16 0 (enter cmd mode)
6. after type: task 8 (this will format phone)
7. after type: task 0 (this will restart phone. Not always necessary)
8. soft reset
This procedure can damage your phone. Use it as last resort.
Official source in french here.
Now before flashing any ROMs read carefully how to flash (not install!) Hard SPL.
# P.S. about install and flash termins #
This error with flashing happened to my due misunderstanding between notions of installing something on your device and flashing. In my opinion those are completely two different things. As for first I understand of running some cab or exe directly on device. So problem comes when people sees install Hard SPL en device as they try to find some cabs or exes to install directly on device or they just copy all files to device. To make things clear Hard SPL "installation" actually is ROM flash process which must be done with maximum caution, but those who did not read Wiki won't understand it.
Cheers, whitealien

BiG THX @ Whitealien.
works to 100% on my Touch Cruise.
I flashed under Vista Ultimate...
# Solution # ... addition from me for Vista users!
....
2. Start Windows Mobile Device Center and Deaktivate USB Connection and then start Task manager end kill
Process wmdc.exe.
Rest of whitealien. and have fun!

Thank you!!!!
I had given up on this, and was sure my only option was a warranty repair :O

always welcome

Thanks, you've saved my Polaris.
Mine didn't want to react anymore to the soft reset, so I replaced your instruction 8 with:
Cmd>boot
and that did the trick.

I had exactly the same problem, for whatever reason went back to original SPL before HARD SPL.
I solved my issue by using back the original original HTC RUU_signed.nbh and flash it using the CustomRUU.
Thereafter, repeat the entire HARD SPL and flash the home cooked ROM.
Cheers.

For unbricking your HTC Polaris, you can try also a hard-reset (if it is related to a software error):

Seems people are still falling for this error.

I'm has this error.
Solution (with SPL-2.20):
- kill ActiveSync (process, not uninstall)
- cable to USB on motherboard
- hard reset on phone
- connect to cable
- flash OFFICIAL rom
Two time I revive my Polaris.

[Q] Xperia x10 os failure

Hey people
My last post wasn't really good and not clear.
So now i did a new post with exact information.

Well Im try to flash my xperia x10.
My phone can't boot so i can't make usb debug via my phone
X10_R2BA023
I downloaded it
At first step one works correctly, but first time i had problems cuz i had java 64 bit.
But now i googled everywhere and first step works.
So step 2 thre i got problems, i hope to find a answer here.
Install, please wait.
Error: device not found
Error: device not found
Please select sdcard nr.6
press any key to continue so im stuck here is there any hope that my phone will work again?
There is no Android Os anymore on my Phone. I also called the hotline of Xperia they told me i cant access anymore on system.
Any hope to fix this?
I usually get exclamation mark ( yellow ) + a black mobile phone..
Thanks

[Q] i cant get root, stuck at step2

i followed the downgrade procedure and successfully downgraded to 1.31.405.5... but when i get to step2 on the root procedure, it just gets stuck at the exclamation point screen...
i have hboot 1.01... could this be the problem?? how can i solve this?
i need root access because i want to install the official CM mod... i hope someone can help me...
thanx for reading...

ok here's whats happening..
step 1 on rooting procedure seems to finish well..
step 2 it says error:device not found
anyone can tell me what im doing wrong?

Make sure you are in recovery mode aka the screen with a ! inside a triangle
Also make sure you are running HTC sync 2.0.33 or older otherwise it won't work

i did all that still my device isn't detected... seems like my legend isn't detected when on recovery mode... anyone knows how this can be done?
also my goldcard is at mmc0.. is that okay?

That should be no problem as long as it's been formated since the goldcard aka your SD card should be blank to do step 2.
also did you downgrade to 1.31 before starting?
what rooting guide are you useing?

First, it would be nice to know what kind of tutorial you're following.
Then, I had some similar issue when I wanted to root my Legend. My windows Seven won't recognize my phone in recovery mode. In order to make it to do so, I had to :
- uninstall HTC sync
- install ADB (and do the stuff in the PATH variable)
- then put my legend into recovery mode
- Plug my phone when in recovery mode
- Then re install HTC sync
Now my legend is recognized by my computer, even in recovery mode.
Have a try and tell us !

Hi! im follwing the Unlockr guide...
@50-3
yes i downgraded to 1.31.405.5
@Greedybro
i'll give it a try, THANX!

Is it 64 bits Windows?
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

another thing to try is removing the HTC drivers from device manager then install HTC Sync 20.0.33 then try
also usfull adb command is "adb devices" it will tell you if your device is seen a lot easyer then waiting for the step2 script to say no devices

@sckank - 32bit windows xp sp2
@50-3 - no device detected when i use adb devices on recovery

step 1 finished but i get 2 fail messages
writing 'zip' .. INFO adopting the signature contained in this image.... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote; 12 signature veryfy fail)

i might not be actually stuck at step2... coz step1 is giveing me errors... i hope someone can help me...

There is an alternitive way to do this i have not tryed rooting use this method but possible work head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698404 grab the files follow the guide you should be able to do part 8 and 9 without doing part 7 (step bat file)

@50-3
isn't it only for rooted legend?

thanx a buch for all your comments!

[Q] flash type 0 power reason 1 bootup_w_pwr_key_pressed

"flash type 0 power reason 1 bootup_w_pwr_key_pressed"
That's the only thing written on my htc hd mini screen now.
After rebooting in "4-colored-screen mode" and flashing original rom (DAN) up to 100% device reboots and same thing happens, but with a little change - "flash type 0 power reason 6 bootup_w_warm_reset". Last flashed working rom was android "sense", it started "freezing", after soft-reseting the device i saw this grey screen. Already tried flashing different roms, taking the battery out for a long period, booting with vol+\vol- buttons pressed. Task29 freezes at 0%. Nothing helped.
Any advice anybody?
PS: sorry for my cr*ppy English, hope everything written above is available for understanding.

Please some pictures or more informations about ROMs you used,

at first, it was RUU_Photon_HTC_DAN_1.36.403.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe (original unmodified ROM, downloaded from shipped-roms)
then i switched to Gabanna's 21686, but it had some issues with gps in my case, so i went back to RUU_Photon_HTC_DAN_1.36.403.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe and decided to switch to Android - HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 with Beats Audio. It worked fine for 2 days, even gps came back from dead.
Thank you, hope this will help solving my case.

I haven't got a camera to take pictures, and my problem kills the ability to take screenshots.
Once again:
-grey screen

That's all.

I've searched for another battery in local stores - no success. The price of new, brought from ebay etc. would be equal to price of used HD Mini, and i don't want to waste money on buying some low-class-chinese-piece-of-cr%p battery, politely called "replica".
Could you, please, rephrase that "plug-usb-to-computer-on-it", because i can't understand what you mean.
Wrong, last working ROM (before the problem started) was HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 (flashed to NAND)

So you have tried Android Installing ?
"plug-usb-to-computer-on-it" Cable your HTC HD Mini Cable, connect to PC>Cable<HTC HD Mini. then try install CWM Recovery.
dear 2bigfella, I'm still not sure whatever you where just in WM6.5 or you had android after all that, what I understood now is your CWM hasn't been installed correctly. Pictures of your phone will help me to know the problem... don't you have at least a camera or bring your friends to take some pictures on it

aaaaaand again (3rd time): last rom working on my phone was (before the problem started) HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 (flashed to NAND)
googled cwm recovery - 1. htc hd mini isn't supported and 2.MY PHONE ISN'T WORKING! I can't install apps on it because the only two things i can see on it is a)grey screen, described above and b)bootloader (4-colored-screen mode)

Okay now it's better to know... (don't google for cwm, it's here already)
restart device, when you see HTC Bootscreen.. press and hold down Volume - down, until you're entered fastboot mode, be sure that your cable is connected to PC<>Photon, and begin install CWM from here (go to dev section xda photon)
