(mods i would appreciate if you could make this a sticky for people... ive worked long and hard trying to get this thing working again)
Ok so heres what happened to my XDA which proberly happened to yours.
I went onto the 02 site and got the latest radio stack upgrade for my xda, but i didnt have the sim in my device so once it finshed and restarted the xda it crashed because there was no sim in it. So i hard reset it.
Causing it to hang on the boot screen showing the G & U letters on the side for about 4 minutes before booting to a blank screen with the keyboard icon in the corner.
*** Please remember at the moment my status LED isnt working showing there is no battery (but still booting etc - P.S i have installed a new battery - no diffrence) ***
Heres how to get it working...... remember that everything takes longer because the XDA lags like mad.
Ive created this guide myself ive took nothing from anyone else info ive done this from scratch, it will need to be done everytime the machine runs out of power (hard resets).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* when i put " + " it means AT THE SAME TIME e.g button1 + button2 = keep pressing them at the same time.
** I refer to the directional keypad centre button as the "OK" button.
Make sure you have the correct RSU Version from here :>
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_GSMError
Download it and put the files onto an SD card.
1. Boot up the device
2. keep pressing the OK button + volume button until it shows the today screen, please note there will be no titles on the screens, HENCE NO START BUTTON.
3. Then press the contacts button + THEN OK a few times, then press the OK button this should bring up the start menu
4. CLICK programs, file explorer, select the SD Card. Then Copy RSUPGRAD.exe to : my device > windows>start up.
5. Copy the remaining 3 files to the : my device > windows
6. Soft Reset Device
7. Click on start (on the upgrade util) it will then restart the device because theres no LED for the battery (hence the 1% then fail).
8. Once started it should then start up as it did when it came out the box giving you the windows setup screen.
9. Go into file explorer and delete tha flas util file from the startup.
Thats it!
- Remember if you hard re-set the device again it will need to be re-done, i dont know how to solve this problem LONG TERM, im giving my XDA to 02 to fix it...... been as its there screw up.

Thanks Everyone

Does this actually flash the gsm radio? If it does then why does it need reflashing following a hard reset?
No it doesnt re-flash it.............
All i know is that it fixes it and many people have had the same problem but had no replys so id thought id help them out :roll:
Where are he diffreneces to the instrucions on wiki????
Stefan
huh? so your saying someone has already written the instructions?
Do you have a link? it will be intresting to find out how i can get my LED working again so the system will be able to work once more.
EDIT: IF THE BATTERY LED/STATUS IS UNKOWN (as in my case)
"Maybe the upgrade will stop again at 1%, this may occur when you have an empty battery. "
Does not apply to you............... hence why my guide overcomes the one on wiki.
If you have had the situation happen to you, then you would undertsand.
would it be possible to use the xda developers 1.2 special edition ROM instead of the 1.1 version for this procedure?thats the only rom i seem to have found.
Boogie, I think you need only the radio stack not the rom if I read the post correctly. The special edition rom contains NO RADIO STACK.
That´s not 100% correct. I´ve noticed, that some ROMs wouldn´t boot up so that you can follow the procedure.....
Stefan
hey guys this is my 1st post to this forum, but for the last year or so I've found it very helpful.
I was experiencing this same issue it would just boot up and hang on the welcome screen for what seemed like an eternity. I gave up and just left it booting up and finally the today screen came up. This is what I tried and it worked. All of this was after a hard reset when I tried to upgrade the radio stack and it fell into this infinite loop of 1% and fail and reboot. I had read a couple of the procedures for doing a radio stack upgrade but here is some of what I did.
In one of the procedures it says to copy the files to ur ppc windows directory and to copy the exe file to ur windows startup directory. I figured I would bypass that in some way. After I finally got to the today screen and used my pc to copy the files to the sd card, I copied all the files to the windows directory on the device and ran the exe file from the windows directory. It worked like a charm and my ppc was back to life. It no longer took for ever to get passed the welcome screen. I hope this helps some of you that have this issue
Well i tried to install WM6 and a screen with 4 BIG bold lines (from top to bottom Blue Green Red and this () yellow/tan color) and on the bottom line it has
No GSM
D 5.60.00 WWE
How do i fix this/whats wrong/WTF/ help please =/
EDIT: now i was messing around with the buttons and up came this,
(all options are selected no)
Boot Options:
Enable KITL__________NO
Clean Registry Hive ___NO
Format storage_______NO
Do i enable one of these or something? please help me...
Enable the last two and press the "envelop" button.
That should fix your problem
Extra question: are you sure your device is BlueAngel?
@up no im not, I didnt even know my phone had a name, Mine is a Audiovox PPC6600 but its the same pic as the blue angel, So i assumed it was.
Okay, I did what he said, and then my screen went white, after a few of waiting it was still white so i did a soft reset, and now its at the same spot.

Big problem right there! I think you just bricked your phone
The ROMs you find here are for GSM phones and yours is CDMA. Currently there are no wm6 ROMs or wm5 ROMs available for CDMA phones, some people were working on a wm5 but I don't know if they released it.
To fix your phone you may try to put it in bootloader again and try to flash it with an original ROM.
Good luck!
This "No GSM" made me think. So we have another gotcha and Harrier (this is your device, xXBuddahXx) probably saved
Ok what now? did i really BIRCK my phone? Im confused Jakubd is there a way to fix it? i hope so or that smiley face is really mean. Im a huge noob to this crap (im only 16 and this is my first pda/phone thing) So again please have patience with me, Bootloader mode is the record/cam/power/reset thing right? What do i do after that? Can any of you give me some links or a step by step tut? I dont want to screw it up any more than it is if i can fix it...
Boot Loader Mode
You can enter or exit bootloader mode by pressing the camera button, power button and then the reset button and hold for a few seconds.
If the above won't work, this worked for me (thanks to all the gurus in the forum): press and hold power+record+camera the same time and then reset

Here you can find the correct ROM for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=764778#105710
If you can get into bootloader mode you're fine, you didn't brick it.
Thank u thank u thank u Hey quick question, When i install this do i have to put it in bootloader mode first? and When i install this will it return it to factory settings? Because i flashed it from VZW to Cricket
You'll have to put your phone in bootloader mode before you install the update.
After the installation is done, you will need to hardreset it.
When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset
1.
Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button. Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen.
*
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, EITHER:
o Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
o OR press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
*
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66:
o Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right EITHER
o OR press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
2.
You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
* If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, use "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
* If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66, use "Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.
* Note: The "Record" button moves up and down the menu and the "Camera" button toggles Yes/No. When you're done, press the button in the middle of the D-Pad to continue booting.
3. Press the "Mail" button. A white screen will show for 30 seconds, while it is clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
4. When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly

If you still that ROM (that you flashed from VZW to Cricket) then use it.
Well, it didnt take a rom to flash it i just uploaded a prl and Changed my Min and NID/SID numbers... is it still okay to use the one that was listed, or do i have to download a special one for VZW?
And thank you so much man, you really saved me! I would rep ya if i could!
Also is there a website That is for CDMA phones like this one, and does mine have a cool name like blue angel or somthing (it sucks when i tell my friends that i have a Audiovox PPC6600 Gee Wiz!)
Your phone is a blueangel, it just have a different hardware for the phone part (PH20A3) and because of that your phone "cool" name is Harrier.
You'll probably have to stick with wm2003 as I don't believe that they have a wm5 or wm6 for your hardware. Here is a link with more information and people trying to make wm5 for the cdma: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=244441
For the update, download it from verizon: http://support.vzw.com/how_to_use/bba_device_update.html
There are 2 versions, one for a phone with camera and for phones without camera.
Error 120 country ID error 56-56-8-8-8
Im guessing i download say the eruopian version or somthing? where would i find this on the USA site or something?
I found this on the verizon website here in the USA.
1. Download update to desktop
2. Unrar or unzip all files in exe or rar into a new folder
3. Open the folder with the extracted files
4. Download this file: MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP
5. Extract MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this file and place it with the other upgrade files.
6. Run this new exe file instead of BaUpgradeUt.exe to update your rom
7. If you get an error the first time, run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again without touching your device (don't take it out from the cradle, don't reset it, don't touch it at all!)
8. If you get the same error kill from Task Manager these two process: wcescomm.exe and rapimgr.exe and then retry running MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
9. If the seems to hang forever the "Getting the information...", put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button. and run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again

This application has failed to start because RUU.dll was not found. Re Installing the application may fix this problem. I didnt even install it, its just an exe =/ soooo close!
You're not reading the instructions dude.
First you donwload the update from the verizon website
Then you use winrar or winzip to extract all the files from the archive to a folder
Now copy the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (wich you extracted from the zip file) to the same folder
Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and you should be fine
Sorry man, i know i must be getting annoying =/. But i cant find the update to download from the website :S
Ok... after 1/2 hour uploading I got two files for you:
If your phone have a camera:
HA_VZW_207_117_01167_A12.rar (37.98 MB)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W2M60157
If your phone don't have a camera:
HA_VZW_207_118_01167_A12.rar (37.67 MB)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=033DU3IA
Just download the correct file, extract it using winrar, put your phone in bootloader mode and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
Good luck!
THANK YOU OH SO MUCH!!!! Man, is there ANYTHING i can do for you??
Help others.
well after i installed an new rom on my tmobile wing i got an error message saying error cant find soft keys so on my home screen there is no soft keys? idk what to do and i am panicking
What Rom did you flash?
as of now I would go to the Windows folder, Subfolder StartUp and see if there is an link with the name: vijaytodayshrink.lnk.
If it is there delete this link and you get your Softkeys back.
Ghostrider
edit: one thing, the softkeys are only not on the Screen, the mainkeys right and left on your Phone are working, if it is this with the link.

What rom did you flash to? I flashed to open touch 5.1 and I think I got that same error message, but my soft keys did work anyway. You can always just copy the included file into your windows directory, and then do a soft reset. Then, you can go to start/settings/system/soft key and reassign it.
The old keyboard still comes up. I installed the .CAB file and I don't know what else to do. help me Please be patient with me. Just switched from G1 to this phone literally 1 day ago. Still not used to 6.5 WinMO.
you have to either hold down the arrow key next to the keyboard button or hold down the button itself. When I first got my TMOUS HD2 I had to hold down the arrow key. But after flashing it to kumar, I just had to hold down the keyboard button.
it works! As simple as that seemed, I feel like a completely dumbass noob.
thread can be closed now
I installed Swype 3.9 and everything worked fine. I accidentally uninstalled it because some skin cab I installed didn't work so I was trying to delete that file but instead I deleted Swype program file through file explorer. I know, dumb.
I tried to re-install the swype cab but everytime I try, program file folder doesn't install and the keyboard doesn't appear. I have no idea why it doesn't install program file folder. Anyone have solution to my problem?
Hello ladies & Gents
Sorry, i have had a good look around on the forums but not found what i needed or it was a little confusing, so sorry to start another
My phone seems to have issue with the screen changing colour/ or the phone completely dying when the bottom part of the phone is touched. i have read about the problem before, seems other have had it.
i just need to get the phone back to factory settings as best as possible, i have played around with android on it, changing the radio and HSPL etc
Hspl was 1.42 before and the radio was 2.7_ _ _
thanks very much guys,
Go here and download the Vodafone ROM...
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all
When you've done that, unzip the exe with WinRar (or similar) and rename the .nbh file to leoimg.nbh
Copy that to the root folder of your SD card and then, with the SD card in the device, turn off, hold the volume button down and briefly press the power button. Keep the volume down button held and it should flash back to stock ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10627994&postcount=2
Also please answer the poll in my sig below.
I've just had mind returned after I had a fault. 7 days from the pick up to delivery and its running great.
I flashed a stock rom using the SD card method i.e. download the setup from HTC (or anywhere else as long as its an offical version). Open the .exe with winrar or similar and extract the nbh file. Rename this to leoimg.nbh and put it at the root of your SD card.
Power up your phone making sure to hold down the volume down key and you just follow the instructions from there. You'll see it resets everything back to factory default.
Good luck.
Echo .
Thanks very much guys, i will get that done tonight, and mayurolla i voted in the poll for you.
