Hi all,
Bought a brand new HTC Trophy from an auction site but has no warranty.
Going to contact HTC to see if they can provide some type of support.
Downloaded Zune and updated the phone fine the first time. It then mentioned another update was available so went through the process.
The last screen on the update said : Waiting for phone to reboot.
Now I watched the phone for over 30 minutes and it was stuck/frozen on the HTC logo when powering on so I switched this off thinking something had happened.
Now I'm unable to even power on the unit, factory hard reset or anything. Has anyone experienced this before?
Regards,
John
Try going on HTC's website and asking their support staff if they will repair it under the general warranty?
Yeah I've emailed HTC but of a language barrier. Kept mentioning to return to my dealer, however I didn't buy it from a dealer. Will see how I go.
Hello,
Make a gold card with the Y cable and unbrand the Trophy, and then put other ROM in it, it will work with Y cable process.
Regards

Hi prootc1, you sure? I can't even power on the phone at all. Nothing comes on the screen - it's like a 100% brick with no response?
what is gold card? how can i get an original rom for htc trophy for verizon? phone is stuck in the color screen.
Hello,
I already test on a sticky logo Trophy, and it work.
You need:
1- a Y cable (make or buy one),
2- download the original and oldest ROM for it,
3- Make the gold card to unbrand it and do the process
It should work, say something...

Any news?

Hi Prootc1, my phone initially had a stuck HTC logo and was forced to power it off. Since then, the phone will not respond to any keys / power on at all. It's pretty much 100% bricked with no responses/leds/lights emitting.
I'm wondering if I do find a repair service that offers JTAG, may be the only way? but this is assuming the phone can be switched off to reflash?
Anyways an update is that I've taken it to our local comms provider who are sending it away for service. Will hear back whether it's under warranty or not.

ansar rom problem
Hi Ansar, I have a problem since I did a soft reset htc setting the trophy to leave the factory, made a number of actions to restart, and stayed frozen in the picture there is no step HTC.
Well I'm from Spain to investigate it and I said I'll install the official rom Vodafone Spain
9_22.32.50.10U_by_ansar RUU_Spark_Vodafone_SPA_1.10.164.01_Radio_5.51.09.2
While the flash starts but when it comes to 10%, I get a message Flash Write Error (# 226) @ 12%
and there is no progress, and researched and found this
ERROR [226]: FILE WRITE
This Could Indicate That the downloaded image (. Nbh file) is corrupt, re-download the image.
and I downloaded the image again but nothing
some solution concept .????? thanks from Spain

Hey LEFTKOYL,
Can you try the RSPL/HSPL tool?
I've given WickedPenguin a guide which should help you (assuming your on the correct boot loader version)...Get that tri color screen and note down the SPL details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207721
I too am having the multi-color screen appearing. I plugged my phone into my computer last night for the first time and it said there was an update. I left it running and came back to a 'failed update' message and this screen. From the pieces I have gathered, from reading in the developer section, it appears I am hosed. There is not a SPL unlock for my model of the Trophy, which apparently goes by the name 'SparkW for Verzion' as well. This was not a pleasent way to start my day.
use this method by ansar

why have you decided that you could upgrade your device if you don't understand anything to upgrading and its consequences.

:x Forget what this guest just said we are a community who help each other out :x
I am now using the XDAII but when i had the XDA1 i had a similar problem. Got stuck upgrading. Hang onto your horses dude your device isn't dead so breath a sigh of relief. If you have a SD/MMC Card reader then use it to burn the base Rom from
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org and then install it through the boot loader(Hold the Power button and then press the soft reset button using the stylus(you will enter the boot loader mode and then follow the instructions on how to install the Rom.
------------------------------OR--------------------------------------------
Go to a shop or a friend who had similar device, make sure you have a SD/MMC card with you and then enter the bootloader mode as described above and then copy the ROM on the SD Card. Then insert the card in your device and again enter the Boot Loader mode and Copy the Rom from the SD Card to your device after you are done press the Hard reset button on your device to switch it off keep it off for atleast 60 sec before pressing the hard reset button again to switch it on. Your device will live again.
[/b]A WORD OF ADVICE
Don't touch the Radio Stack on either your device or the other one. Always select Rom only.
If you need further help with using the bootloader search these forums you'll come up with alot of info.
Let me know how it works out

I believe there's a way to go-back! Do a flush by pressing on the power button+the hard reset+the navigation button pressed. All at once and that's how you go-back to the original ROM. Let me know if it works and if you dare to do it anyways.. 8)

Mr. Guest you are an idiot, many of us have been at this point one time our another. This is no way to respond to a forum member in need of help.
i'm no techie when it comes to these things but just out of curiousity WHAT causes the upgrade to stop? mananmistry said he was in the middle of upgrading already; is it the rom he used or is it the connection (power flux, cable, sync, etc)? just curious... :wink:
oh and its beers for the others and the loo for the guest
update
now the thing is i got the phone back. I have connected the usb but pc cannot find device and xdatools or the rom .exe files wont install. it says "xda not found via activesync", something like that. I went into the boot loader and it said GSM ERROR and stops. have to press calender key to get into sub-menus. what is the problem. does the rom kitchen .exe files need sactive sync to be present. please can some one tell me.
do i need a sd card reader. can i not just use someone phone to put my sd card and burn onto sd...??
You are now in serious trouble, the GSM error often proves fatal for the phone. You can still flash the rom though by following the previous instructions. After that is completed you will have to try flashing a radio stack. Please be prepared to be disappointed, I wish you the best of luck. The good news is that even if the phone doesnt work you should still have a working pda.

Latest update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=363228#363228
Let me first say: I am unsure if my SIM is now unlocked and if it has a CID check. Therefore I'm unsure if the info in the related topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62496 applies. Therefore I'm posting this new topic.
I recently got a Orange SPV M600 which as far as I understand is a HTC Prophet. I am totally new to PDAs but wanting to use it with my T-Mobile sim and with a fair amount of computer knowledge on board decided to unlock it myself using imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
I ran the program and it said the sim was succesfully unlocked. However when I tried to power on the device after that, it was stuck at the 3 color screen only displaying the values:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
This gave me quite a scare because the device is brand new. Soft and hard reboot bring me back to the same screen. This morning I tried running the tool again and the unlocked failed giving me a message that key / imei do not match. After rebooting it now also shows the value RUU at the upper right corner of the screen.
I read some of the posts on this forum and did a little research on Google. I think I know what my next steps should be but I'm terrified to toast my M600.. I already fell in love with it! Could you guys give me feedback before I try the following?
* Download and unzip:
xda:[email protected]/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip
* Follow the steps on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Should that work?
PS: what does the RUU value mean and why did it appear after my 2nd try?
Thanks in advance guys!
Have you tried contacting IMEI-check's support?
RUU is. IIRC, radio unit upgrade and it should not have appeared.
Don't flash the rom, you might need to send it back to orange / HTC and there is no official orange downloadable rom as yet so if the device boots to 'dopod' or whatever they'll know you've messed with it. If the key does not match sounds like the unlocking has screwed your imei. Does the IMEI the app now recognises match the one you paid for the unlock for or the one on the back of the unit/ box?
Richard
IMEI-check support:
The unlock has nothing to do with your device problem. You say yourself that it already turned on directly to 3 color screen after you switched it off (sometimes this happens due to problems in HTC flash driver). For a firmware flash you don't need Orange. You can do this on your computer at home.
Both the soft and the hard reset bring me back to the same 3 color screen..

I do not think it co-incidence that you are doing a flash operation ( unlocking) and now the device will not boot. It should reboot after unlocking according to their documentation and if it went to the tri-colour screen something was amiss after the unlocking then, quite possibly becuase of it. The unlock completed succesfully the first time then?
Don't flash the dopod rom, if the IMEI now has a mis-match you may need to send it back to orange for repair / reflashing. They will be able to tell if there is a dopod rom on there and may refuse warranty - I wouldn't mention the unlocking if I were you. There is no official orange rom you can try :-(
Richard
I do not have a receipt for the phone.. is the ROM at least the one I should try if I do try one?

In the UK at least you do not need a receipt for the phone - it is based on seriel number.
http://service.htceurope.com/
Once you have tried flashing the other roms they can tell you have been flashing it and may not give warranty service, but hopefully all it really needs is a rom anyway. My warning is just in case it is not the rom that is the issue and you need to send it back.
When you run imei-check's app now what IMEI does it give for the device?
Richard
Good question, I just checked and the IMEI in their tool gives me the same one as I wrote down before the operation. It is the same as on the box and as the one I payed for to get the key for and used the first time around.
I hoped the flash would solve my problems and I tried flashing the M600 with the ROM mentioned above. 100% completed and all looked good until the reboot.. Again it will not go further then the tri-color screen with the exception that the SPL version has changed:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Anything left to try?

Get back to IMEI-check and ask for more help? They may claim that the unit was faulty before unlocking but if so how could the unlocker run? Or try posting at www.modaco.com to see if anyone there has any ideas.
Which country was the device supplied in? Did you check the seriel in the link I gave? If it's from the UK you could send to a friend or collegue to return under warranty without paperwork ;-)
Sorry.
Richard
Well at least we made progress, a hard reset now let's the device boot but.. after I went through the settings I pressed start and it automaticly powered off.
I then inserted my T-Mobile simcard and rebooted again to find myself in the tri-color screen. Another hard reset once again let me reboot but during the boot of Windows Windows it says 'Data crashes. Please contact your service center.'
Where in the Netherlands do you live?
I have succesfully dopotted two M600 phones and I have had one repaired by Orange, for broken speaker. They did not seem to care that I flashed it to dopod.
I might be able to help you out on this one.
send me an e-mail on [email protected]

i couldn't speak to the guy who tried to unlock it, i spoke to his collegue and all he could say is that he tried to unlock by logs

i have tried to hard reset it but it comes back on that screen
:? :? :?
Try to load the no id DOPOD ROM.
This one will install when the M600 is in that 3 colour screen.
I did it and it worked for me.
I tried to CID unlock with a tool that contained a specific WARNING NOT TO USE for a certain ROM version, which of course I did anyway.
The warning was correct. My M600 was stuck.
By reflashing I resolved the problem.
You can always bring it back to Orange and claim that this happened after you've let the battery go dead; you did not get a chance to charge on your 1,5 month holiday ..........
Good luck!

Memory card flash

This is a tricky one but I believe that you can use the same flash file that you were using and just try this:
You should know your SPL version before going too far with this. Hopefully you can get that info by trying to boot it and if it can get to the very first splash screen with the red text, it should show it there.
Turn on the phone and let it try to boot ... Hold down the Power and OK buttons at the same time and while holding those buttons down, hit the reset button at the bottom of the phone and you should then be given the multi-color weird screen that's given right before the flash. Then, connect it via USB. Load up the flash software and it should ask you which version you're running of the SPL, select it and then click next. Auto-detect won't work if I remember correctly. Then just push forward and it should go through.
If all else fails, look up Mr. Vanx's information ... he's quoted all over this site and has his own site that has a LOT of information about bricked hermes phones.
GOOD LUCK! I hope it works.
Had a similar problem last week. Download the ROM at the top of the link below and it should unbrick your phone. It worked for me
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
Good Luck
Thank you to all that gave their input. Can confirm that I have tried all methods incl. SD flashing but due to corrupt CID and SPL 1.09 it is time to wave the white flag and give up.
Will keep up with the threads to see if anyone manages to find a way to resurrect TyTns with corrupt CID and SPL 1.09
I've got a "Brick" HTC Magic - Vodafone.
Basically, when i press the power button doesn't start. It happened after follow the "Install / Update SPL" ( http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL ) guide.
Is there any way to recover it? or should i put it on the bin?
You're going to have to be more specific than "it doesn't start".
Does it turn on? If so, does it hang at the htc magic screen? Can you hold vol-down and press power (while still holding vol-down) and load a screen with three androids on skateboards? If you can do the last step, it's not bricked, and you should look at the thread I have below about bricking and semi bricking, one of the users on there gave a great amount of information on what you can do if your phone's not working right (bricked).

Hi Caid, thanks for the reply! sorry for the short message without details.
Here is the answer for your first question (sadly, the rest of questions can be skipped):
Does it turn on?
It doesn't
It was after follow the guide i mentioned before. I tried to update the SPL, but something went wrong and my phone didn't turn on again.
So... I think I have to accept the fact is not going to work again.
Is there any kind of service able to fix this?
Anibal
No display at all? no backlight on the screen? no vibration (signifying it's past a certain point in the loading stage)?
You probably tried taking out the battery for 10 seconds and then putting it back?
As Caid444 asked, tried holding Back+Power for a few seconds (after making sure power is off and not just hanging. Take off battery for 10 sec and reload)? Tried holding Home+Power after making sure power is off?

I'd really like to say it DOES something... but it doesn't . I tried Volume down + power, back + power and several more combination always taking out the battery and putting it back.
It's bad... Do u know if there's any hardware service for this?
Just a wild guess, but since the phone sucks more battery, then a vampyre on rampage.
Could it be an idea, to charge the battery before, or have the usb cable pluged in, when you press back+home? (the same buttons you used to enter fastboot)
I'm pretty sure what you're trying to say is, you know enough about the phone to know how to bring it into it's multiple boot options, and none of them make the phone even burp. So there's no need to tell you to press this button plus that button, or insert usb or remove usb, or battery or such, because you've already done all that.
Well, I'd have to agree with you that it's dead. Unfortunately, there's nothing to do at the moment. I'm guessing (or maybe just hoping) that in the future there will be an unbricker for our phone, much like those available for many htc branded winmo phones. In the meantime, how old is your phone? Can you still bring it back?
Caid.

p.s To anyone else who's trying to figure this out, let's assume that he's already tried the many variations of recovery procedures and that it's still not working.

I've got a "Brick" HTC Magic - Vodafone.
Basically, when i press the power button doesn't start. It happened after follow the "Install / Update SPL" ( http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL ) guide.
Is there any way to recover it? or should i put it on the bin?

If it's really a brick and we all want to learn something from this then we need to know the following :
1. What was your original SPL
2. To which SPL did you "try" to upgrade? (I hope you didn't try to flash a G1 SPL on your Magic...).

That's how my brick arrived ! Tried Hard SPL, after installing the one you suggested. Yours okay, Hard SPL no. But even after installing the spl, no fastboot adb.
BRICKED by HARD SPL ( the recommended )
Same here, I have just bricked my new vodafone HTC Magic (Vaffanc...)
downloaded from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list?q=label:SPL
I hope something can be done. It is not reacting to power button at all.

I think you are right, I have flashed the G1 SPL. But the page is really not clear, it start speaking as Dream/Magic and probably it is only for Dream. Since it says to apply the Hard Spl and in the download link(http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL) there is no clue that it is not for the G2.
Any idea? anybody got it changed from the shop with no problems? (mine is vodafone in the netherlands)
Me idiot, I have to leave tomorrow for holidays!

as far as i can see no need to flash spl on vodafone magic. i have the same phone and all i did was root with Rav1.1.1G.img and flashed rom of my choice. you have flashed phone with g1 spl and it actually says g1 on the link you provided..........can't see how you missed it. with phone off press home+power button as that bring up recovery image. Rav image file is safer due to that. i am sure if hardspl was available for Magic it would be posted on here as a sticky

You did brick one with the hardSPL and now you bricked another with the same stuff? Didn't you learn the first time? Only way is to go back to the store and tell em you did it again.

It seems to me you need to go back to basics and start here
A noob question but what exactly does flashing a new SPL unlock.
I got my Vodafone UK HTC magic and simply Downloaded a 32B ROM and used nandroid backup to apply the update.zip and it installed fine and can use Root required apps.
hi all
My HTC magic was bricked after update SPL. Now when press power button, it stuck at HTC magic logo, anyone have solution for fix its?
I Can not understand how can this be possible. Why guys all of you, don't read before trying to change your SPL???? You even don't need any changes about it?! Why do you try to change the SPL? Do you know what that SPL does? I think most of you - don't.
My next question is why all of you are trying to flash the G1 SPL onto Magic phone? Are you crazy or what? There is NO HARDSPL for Magic (G2, Sapphire or whatever you want to call this device)!
The SPL collection is posted in this forum by Amon_Ra, and if someone want to change the SPL can do this by downloading some of the SPL collections posted here.

Power off your phone! Then press and HOLD the "back button", while holding it press once the red one(which you usually use to power on the phone). It will power on (i hope). If you get in fastboot mode then everything will be fine.
hi everybody..
My hd2 is dead, not working.
my first problem regarding HD2 was;
it was sometimes restarting while on the internet, listening to the music, watching movie..,etc.
And during restarting, the backside of it was always heating up.
I changed battery with new one, sim card and also sd card, the problem still existed.
Then, I did hard reset, no solution,
Then, I reload orginal rom (the previous was also orginal rom) and did hardreset.
Now, not working, only white htc screen appears,
Please note that I dont want to load any custom rom since my hd2 is still warrantied.
How can I solve my problem w/o warranty problem?
thx..
First of all get start to give some more info.
Witch Rom did you have (the latest one you install)
Witch Radio version do you have?
Witch device?? I mean a HTC HD2 (EU model) ore a USA 575MB (T-Mobile) model?
Do your device wakes up?? If yes what do you see on your screen?

Did you happen to have a broken screen or camera lens?
We still don't know what the issue is and some of us are waiting to hear from HTC repair centers.
Thank you Kurt,
I always load orginal rom as below from HTC site.
RUU_Leo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship

Okay, let get test this.
first of all be sure your battery is loaded.
Shutdown your device
keep the volume down press in, and restart your device.
If everything will go perfectly you will now see the boot screen!?
If yes connect your device to your PC; from the moment you see on the bottom of your screen "USB"
Launch the "RUU_Leo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1" by right click on it and starting ass administrator.
This will set back your device in factory mode.
PS remove SD and Sim before starting!!
Let me know your progress.
Hi Kurt,
I did your recommendations, but no change.
I still have the same problem, white screen with htc logo.
Any other ideas how to solve the problem?
Thank you..

You didn't saw the boot-louder screen? (By pressing the volume down when you restart the device?)
Edit;
Maybe trying to flash over SD?
I saw the boot screen and launched to original rom by clicking as administrator.
I reloaded original rom succesfully, then the phone restarted, but no change.
white screen with htc logo..
