Messed up flashing 7.8 rom - Focus General

I was installing a new windows 7.8 ROM [dynamics one] on my phone, over the current custom 7.8 rom..
Did the usual stuff, installed magldr clicked on samsung focus and it showed successful. Then installed the rom.
Then not letting it reboot, formatting first. But when the format finished it showed "SAMSUNG OMNIA 7" for second and got me pretty worried.
Its not turning on now, Samsung logo appears for a moment and then it goes blank. Then the phone to pc connection image shows up. Thats al.
Ive tried reinstalling the magldr with clicking on focus but still no change.
I'm pretty sure I did it right the first time around but don't know what happened.
Have I bricked my phone or what? Please suggest something asap.
Mine is a sim unlocked AT&T Samsung focus 1.3
It does go to download mode and format options

When I try to flash the rom after it's done flashing I pull out the battery go back into download mode, format the device but then a "Samsung Omnia 7" splash screen comes up and then it tells me to connect it to the computer. I have flashed another rom successfuly but really want to try this one, is there something Im missing?

Hi, my friend has experienced this before, don't worry about Samsung Omnia 7, its just a label, the rom is already mod for Focus.
You should try reflashing the dynamic 2.0 rom again. Make sure your battery level is above 50%, after it finish flashing, it will take something like 10-15 more mins to finish setting up the rom so just don't touch anything on your phone yet. Just wait for the windows phone setup screen to show up first then reset your phone storage.

Bootloader no USB?!

Hi all, started to try and get phone onto android last night.
Followed the guide for HSPL3 then started started to update radio but got error about USB!
Booted into boot screen to see whats going on (volume down) and it wont go past loading! just sits saying loading!
The device boots ok and i get windows (eventualy! if i wait) Once booted into windows USB works but in the bootloader i cant get USB!
I have pressed volume down and red button and in white box it stays on serial!
I have googled for hours any pointers?

grey screen, writing in blue? sounds like it thinks you have a rom on your sd card. try it without the sd card in.
Thanks for you suggestion - tired that already should have said.
The issue is fixed however - I took out SIM aswell as SD, manualy booted to loader. Waited 5 min then it changed to USB! Quickly opened HSPL3 an re flashed.
Issue was still the same! So followed same procedure and used HSPL 1.6 that fixed it! I can then flash with a rom suitable for Android!
Flashed 4 min later, put Android on - now loving my new phone - its amazing the difference! This is how the HTC HD2 should have been!
heh, lucky you, i've tried android on 6 different occasions now, first four times i wasted some hours and never got it to boot, 5th and 6th time it worked, but when i restarted, the phone wouldn't restart without a hard reset, so i'm not touching it again for at least another three months.
Thanks. Your solution worked great. As soon as I pulled the SIM and waited a few minutes it popped right up. You should mark this thread title as solved
@samsamuel try using nand its alot easier to install and there are some great builds on this website!
Sent from my Gingerbreaded HTC HD2 using XDA App
Hi there,
the problem is not solved for me!
I flashed my HD2 several times before, using winXP. Now I got a new laptop with
Win 7 64 bit. I want to flash my phone with a WM6.5 Dutty ROM. The phone syncs fine when running but when it switches to bootloader, the laptop doesn't recognize the phone anymore. It does not switch to USB and on the Laptop I get the message that there is no driver for "Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM"
Help please, I tried to find some answers but couldn't find anything!
Thanks.

HTC HD2 rom change with non working screen

Hello Everyone.
TBH im my opinion you guys are my last hope to fixing my hd2.
So here's the problem.
I have a HD2 that turns on but does not have a functioning touc screen.
ABOUT MY PHONE:
HTS HD2
Has old android in it ( I dont know which one it is, but i can describe it. It starts up with a BootLoader asking to boot android, so i have the option to press yes or no. It has old blue theme in the background.
Here's the problem. I've called HTC support and i learn my phone still has manufacturers warranty. So basically i can just send in the phone, and ill id have to pay is shipping. BUT! here's the problem. HTC does not approve of third party software installed in the phone, in my case it is the ANDROID. So now im trying to wipe android put, and install windows mobile again. I downloaded the t-mobile stock rom and when i plug in my phone, the windows mobile center automatically pops out but it shows an error symbol.
TL;DR
So my question to you guys is how do i remove Android and install Windows Mobile on an HTC HD2 with a non working screen
Thank you so much guys for even considering to help me
Mod if i posted on the wrong section could you please move it for me.
Thanks
hi,
try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956715
Thanks so Much But here's an update
I went ahead and downoaded the HSPL3
I turned on my phone and also pressing the voulme down button which brought to me to a red green and white color. I had my phon conneceted to the computer VIA USB. I first double clicked the T-Mobile rom update thingy and went ahead accpeted the warning signs etc,so the first thing that came up was identifying phone, and after 5 seconds it disappears so nothing came fro that, then later i double clicked the HSPL3 which asked me to either pick the 2.8 or the the 2.8 spl i believe, i had the spl installed so i wen ahead clicked the 2.8. it installed and my phone rbooted and BAM my touch screen worked, and when it asked to boot android i pressed NO. my phone rebooted and iagain the boot loader came up and asked to bott android, so this time i pressed BUt it didnt work because the touch screen stopped working!
So i went ahead to try everything all over but this time i clicked the 2.8 spl and after a minute on my phone it displayed " we hacked it" etc etc etc, i robooted my phone, ad it worked, i turned it on and off twice and it worked i was using my phone after a month So after playing with it alittle bit i decided to put my sim card in it. I turned off the phone and put the Sim card and turned on the phone so i can use it but.....once again the touch screen stopped working... ****!!!!!!
yep, now the touchscreen is once again not working

Download a stock WM ROM for your phone, extract and rename your .nbh to leoimg.nbh. Transfer leoimg.nbh. to your SDcard.....enter bootloader mode....there it will flash back to your WM ROM with all HSPL remove. Time to send back to Manufacturer for repair..
Okay hold on. So when you see stock WM ROM coud that be the "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_311...." file? and where can i find my .nbh file?

Focus 1.3 Stuck at Samsung Logo - Looks like endless reboot loop

My 1.3 focus is stuck in the Samsung logo screen. It lloks like it is in an endless reboot as the logo will go away for a moment then reappear.
I am able to get the phone into Download and Format mode with out issue.
I have also been able to succesfully reflash the original firmware without issue, but the same result none the less.
Any ideas on this?

I see. You're the 4th person I encounter having this problem after flashing magldr. You should ask in the magldr thread. I'm not sure if it's really magldr related but I don't see anything else that could cause it...
Make sure you specify there your revision(3/4)/ as well as OS version.

[Q] BLINKING SAMSUNG LOGO

Hi,
My phone was working absolutely normal for about a year but suddenly yesterday morning I found it stuck on 'BLINKING SAMSUNG LOGO'. I left it on charge overnight. It was absolutely shocking and I did everything possible to wake it up but It didnt show up. I did Hard Reset a multiple times, tried to unplug USB cable, battery back and forth, but it was of no help.
I found this question on various forums but unfortunately, no one came up with a positive solution except replacing it under warranty. I came back to Pakistan and phone is it out of warranty so there is no possibility for that.
Yesterday, I performed STOCK ROM flash. Luckily I managed to put it WP 7 and so far it is working fine. Later I updated it through ZUNE and during a hour download/installation, I expected it to install WP 7.5 but it popped up the same logo again. I tried everything but problem remains the same. Im stuck on 8th step out of 9 i.e. restarting your phone. I flashed back again to 7, then tried again, but same logo appears back and blinks
It clearly seems like wp 7.5 has some software issues in the bootup. Is there any direct WP 7.5 ROM available on internet?
What else should I do to fix it?

Hi, if you have a microsd card installed it may be the problem, remove the card, do a hardreset, then reflash your handset and try to upgrade to Mango then see what happens, if all is good then your microsd is faulty, this happened to a lot of focus users ))

You will ned to install a custom bootloader for installing a custom ROM, but if you handset is under warranty I would fully recommend taking it to the service as I doubt your problem will magically disappear with a custom ROM, and there is a big chance of bricking the device when installing a custom bootloader if your device is problematic.
Please somebody help!
I have updated it twice but the problem pops up same in the end. It keeps on blinking the logo.
My current version is 7.0.7008. everytime I connect it to zune, it updates on request to 7.5 add on but Im stuck.
Please somebody help me, I have bought a used phone and out of warranty. What can I do to restore it back to WP 7.5.?

Hi,
"Smart Mobility" screen
I had that problem too, and did a hard-reset.
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down buttons (hold hard) and press Power switch until you see the warning sign to confirm a hard reset.
The system will do a re-flash of the original Windows Mobile ROM.
Start Android by running HaRET from Windows Mobile
Yes, you have to run HaRET.
You can make it simpler by making a short-cut in Windows Mobile Start Menu.
Tap and hold on HaRET until you see the Dialog Box to Cut, Copy, etc.
Tap Copy.
Go to Device-Windows-StartMenu, paste as a shortcut
These steps are in the Touch HD Manual. If you do not have one, download it from the HTC website.

GBX0C2.3.7 Build is on SD card.
You will need to boot from Windows Mobile first, then run HaRET to reboot to XDAndroid.
If XDAndroid hangs, you need to remove battery, put back battery and power on. Then you see Windows Mobile and do above step again.
Always, from XDAndroid to go back to Windows, you need to Power Off, and then Power On again.

You say you are flashing the original ROM. You mean the original HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM? I understand you can only get this done only from HTC authorized centers.

Put the phone into bootloader by pressing volume down + power button
plug the usb cable to the computer/laptop
and then run the shipped rom executable file... when the tricolor screen displays USB at the bottom.
else extract the RUU_signed.nbh or any file with .nbh extension from the shipped file with zip viewers like 7-zip
rename the file to BLACIMG.nbh
Put into the root of memory card
put the phone into bootloader and follow the screen instructions..
And the most important thing... search the forum.. before posting..
Hope this works for you
Hi there! I think that you can't reflash even a Original ROM without unlock the phone with new Hard-SPL from Olinex ,considering that you have tried a Hard Reset and nothing happened ,your last option is to unlock the phone and reflash the ship ROM ,or to flash a custom ROM ( is not a good solution if you still have warranty,but still you cand revert your stock SPL:good so ,you have nothing else to lose , all is left for you is to try what i said before . If you don't know how to do it,let me know and i will post the exact links to instructions.
Hi all,
You can try a NAND ROM like the new release of Fagyi. There is an easy step by step manual to installation. You will lose winmo, but you will have a real android.
It looks pretty and he has solved many of the issues of previous versions.
