hi,
thnx for the help.. i did follow the steps mentioned.. but it styll doesnt wrk. whn i try to flash the rom.. it supposedly looses connection wid the computer .. the screen looses the light buh the wizard is on all the way.. u cant use it though.. buh the lights are still blinkin.. (the wifi and phone)
thnx

hey, my mda doesnt even turn on anymore, do u guys think its the battery but the battery was fine when i flashed it but then it doesnt boot to the window, so i took the battery out and put it back in and it doesnt turn on anymore.. i tried the camera, rest button and other stuffs. do u think my phone is bricked? or i should def. get a new battery and try it out?

I suggest you back to your Official rom first then start over again. I do this many times. Activesync always loose its connection before start flashing. It's a normal procedure. When you mention that your Wizard is still up and on the way, what you mean exatcly? Be more specific bringing point details on where you are stuck for instance. Then I'll try to help you out.
Good luck.

Sounds a power problem to me. I've been into this couple of times after being in a bootloader mode for a long time. Plug the Wizard directly into the powerwall to start charging then back to your flashing process first doing with an official rom. I don't think you have bricked it.

sry, i forgot to mention that it doesnt even charge too, both powerwall or pc

Try to enter in a bootloader mode by hold on the camera button while pressing the reset button. You'll go to bootloader. If not, remove battery one more time, wait seconds and put it in back. Then, force bootloader again and try to charge through powerwall. You should get an orange light or similar during recharging. Check your model. Hope it helps you this time.

which version is it ,G3 or G4,and which Rom were trying to upgrade with.
Well,if its a G3 then,there's some power problem,but if it's a G4 and you tried to flash a Rom with IPL/SPL included,well its a brick.

Yeah...unfortunately zabardast_1 is right about your device. If it is a G4 and you flashed a G3 ROM, you could have bricked your techtoy! Hope you knew what you was doing at that time!
Try to always provide enought information regarding your environment and device so we can help you out better!

Prophet has Security Code, Can I Hard Reset? Please help thanks

Hello All,
I have just got another M600 (Prophet) for my brother as I am so please with my first one. I have got this phone second hand and the owner has put in a secruity code/pin after the boot screen when in windows. I would obviously want to get rid of that, how could I do that? I have tried hard reset (Photo + Communication button and rest button), it didn't work. I would really want your help.
Thanks,
Angus

mhm...
thats kind of strage, because normaly the passwort should be deleted after a hard-reset...
Maybe you should try to flash it

Hi muslim2009
I tried a few searches but all the results say you need the bootloader screen , are you sure you didn't miss a step in hard reset or bootloader mode :
To enter the bootloader:
Hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
An alternative way to enter bootloader:
Switch the device off by long pressing O/I (power) button. hold down the camera button while pressing the O/I button about 1 second. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
Alternative(universal?) bootloader(3)
As almost all htc smartphones with onboard camera, when you push and hold the camera(photo) button, and plug in usb adapter. Even a "stupid" usb power adapter will work.
To hard reset:
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
I sincerely hope it helps
I was also born in Morrocco at Casablanca and lived there until age 16. Anyway I'll continue searching.

I'm not sure if it's possible with the HTC Touch, but I know when I was playing around with an old iMate SP3i (smartphone) I was able to do a ROM upgrade from files on the memory card.. Took me a few attempts to get it right, but it worked. I think I also upgrade my SP5 to WM6 from WM5 that way, but I'm not too sure about that.
Either way, a basic idea of what I'm talking about can be found here, but that is obviously for a different phone.. Maybe some of the more common members here would have better luck finding a similar process on a Touch....?

maybe its will be workin but what marterial i will need for this opperation??

On some HTC devices (cheetah, for example) if you put the ROM file (.bin) in the root directory of the SD card, the phone will flash directly from the SD card.
I think you do require to put the phone into bootloader for that to work though ... not 100% sure, but probably worth looking up.

Ok... Been trying to search for more information for you, but with not really knowing all the correct terminology it's taken me a while longer than I thought. I've found two threads that have some of the information I was looking for:
Recover / Revive your dead / bricked HTC ELF or ELFIN
Recover HTC Touch from tricolors RUU boot-loader (Mtty)
The second link is actually found inside the 2nd post (I think) of the first thread I mentioned here, looks like they are linked in some way. Your best bet is to read through and see if it is something that may help. Let us know if this works for you...?

thanks you man,i was read the first link befor..i will see for the second
hope will work.thank you again

HTC Home installation freeze xperia

Hello Guys,
I had installed HTC home plugin on my Xperia and now its hung or unresponsive. I can see the start, call and Menu on the screen but touching that does not do anything .
Please help me out.
Has anyone seen this before ?
Regards,

which HTC Home are you using ?
i have PJC HTC Home installed and it's working perfectly. once i used the hack for the weather it was fine ...

Thanks for your reply mrdo,
I am using http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v2-1.html
I need to just uninstall this software but the phone is not responding..
please suggest a way to reset.. the other trouble is its not recognized as a device now using USB so I could not use mtty n other things..
is there any other way ??
thanks

thats not for VGA devices, it's for QVGA which is why it's not working.
Can you acess the X1 from through activesync on your PC?
If so then you can uninstall it from there (add/remove programs)
if not then I'm afraid you'll have to hard reset, and learn a valuable lesson, make sure you know what it is you're installing..
Hard reset, is take the back cover off and stick the sytlus in the small hole in the side next to the battery, while holding down the two silver buttons on the front.

Hello fards,
Thanks very much for the help..
Unfortunately I learnt the lesson the hard way
I tried hard reset as you suggested but it did not make any difference
what else can be done.. ?? any suggestion is most welcome.. I can try doing mtty reset but some how I could not go to boot loader mode.. how to go into bootloader mode ?
Please help..
Regards

If you've done it right it must have made a difference as this wipes the devices memory. If you can't do this then don't even start messing about with mtty
if you see the SE logo, then you haven't done it right.
hold the two silver hardware keys on the front of the x1 down after you've reset. Keep pressing them down till you see some text that tells you to press R
If you don't see this screen keep trying (reset+press the keys) till you do.

Thanks fards,
you are a lifesaver !! that seems to have worked and now I can use my phone ..
Thanks a ton once again !!

Bricked Phone

Is there anything I can do to recover the phone? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

i same have probem....
Help me, now phone hang logo HTC

Pull battery, then reinstall. Hold down the volume Down button and the end button until it trys to turn on and it should go into bootloader. If it does you can flash from there.
