Polaris remains in BOOTLOADER TRI-COLOR

I flashed my Polaris sometime ago to cooked rom, of course using HARD SPL. It has been working fine until I flashed it again to BEPE and again to something else. It started going into bootloader (tri-color) each time I restart. I flashed it with HARD SPL V2 and it starts again and each time my NAV. Hangs and I restart it goes back to bootloader (tri-color).
Right now I’ve tried everything and it wont get out of BOOTLOADER (TRI-COLOR).
HELP! HELP!! HELP!!!!

Bootloader mentions normal info as when u want to flash: Thus TRI-COLOR MODE. I REMOVED THE BATTERY THE WHOLE DAY. i CAME HOME NOW AND IT WORKS AGAIN, then I turned it off and it went back to TRICOLOR MODE:
POLA100 MFG
SPL-2.20.OliNex
CPLD-2
SERIAL (and if I insert usb then it turns to USB)

did u try upgrading an official ROM (it worked for me ...)

I had the same problem, nice colors but not so useful.
Try to reflash by using the microsd card metod, that helped me.

how did you uninstall hard spl in first place...

by putting back original spl

What error you get when you hard spl?

it stays on 0% and never move then it asks me to make a recover

1. Unlock your polaris
2. Than Hard-spl your device
PS: Only use the hard spl in the link provided. Disable your antivirus before procedure.
this might work.

thanks at first
but the first link cant be downloaded
and i think it is just an earlier version of hard spl 2.0
so i think it wont be usefull

From what I've read on a while ago on XDA, if your rom flash progress hangs in the middle of the process, it may be because of the fact that your current radio is too new for your 'old', original rom. You should try to flash an earlier radio before you flash the complete original (6.0?) rom.
And if you get it flash half of your rom, you probably didn't remove HardSPL, but correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not that familiar with it.

As I recall, the figures above indicate that you do have the original SPL. You should try to flash an original rom (if you don't have one, i have a dutch one here (wm6.0). If that doesn't work you should try to flash hardspl (hold the camera button while softresetting to enter bootloader) ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964 ) and then try to flash a newer rom.
Where are you from?

Btw. I forgot to tell you that you need to flash an old radio too if you're going to flash the original rom. (if you don't have one already).
And when you have hardspl on your device, it'd be wise to flash a rom which include a radio.
I'll be away for a couple of hours, so I've put the original (dutch WM6.0) rom (incl. the original spl, but I think (dont know for sure) you need hardspl2.0 just to flash anything.) online here, let me know if your figured it out.

well thank you for all the help
but i am sadly informing it didnt work if the problem is the radio the i just need to flash another one .
it is just i cant or i dont know the right method to flash the necessary radio
would any one please tell how to flash radio from the boot loader when i dont have hard spl

Maybe a stupid question, but why can't you flash hardspl2? And do you have an unlocked device? You don't live in the Netherlands by any chance right?

why I can't flash hard spl 2 ?
actually I don't know
maybe because I am stuck in the boot loader
and sadly I am living in Saudi Arabia so we don't have much programmers around here nor people who have PDA
that's why I can't find someone to help

Can you describe exactly what you do step by step on your pc and pda and how your hardware is connected?
update: and tell me what messages are on your screen and if you get any errors

well first i connect usb so the pda directly starts boot loader (the screen with three colours)
after that whatever (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) i use the installing stops to give me this messege:
the rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process . the program will guide you step by step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update.
this happens with every rom i tried including the har spl exept for the original rom it advance untill 38% then stops and give me the same messege.
if i try the (step by step ) process it ends up the same way .
anyway what i understand that my problem will end once i put (hard spl)
or if flashed another radio all i need to know is how to do either of them from the boot loader.
i have been so needy but sorry for that i am just sad about my pda i like it alot

I dont think it changes anything, but you do keep the camera button pressed while softresetting your device to get into the bootloader?
Usually your device only gets to the bootloader when you do that, but i can imagine that when your rom update failed and the device cannot boot a rom, it stays in the bootloader, but not in flash mode? Worth a try..

Tell me what appear in your PDA screen during boot. I want to know the information on the first screen like below:
R:
G:
D:
These information usually appear on the right bottom corner or your screen when you boot your device.

HD2 stuck at the HTC boot screen

Hello, I have some problems with my mob.phone HTC HD2: after using Flash mobile stop working, then I tried install windows and tried turn on first time and my phone shows white screan with name HTC and don`t work at all,then i tried reset and Hard reset all setings and turn on again and than screan appears again with name HTC.
When i conect my phone to pc by usb, so my pc can`t find that phone.
Can you help me with this problem.
Thank you.

you should get your stock rom, ONLY your stock rom, extract the file ruu_signed.nbh
copy that file to your sd card formatted to fat 32 rename the file to leoimg.nbh
phone off
hold volume down
tap power (keep volume held)
phone should boot to three colors screen and start to flash.
this will ONLY work with original rom.

Thanks for Help.

Same problem......
I am also stuck in the white HTC screen, (R 2.06.51.07 G 15.30.50.07U D 1.66.76641). I can flash from SD card and so i tried, using the image in the latest official RRU, no way, it doesn't fix the problem.
I didnt try any unofficial rom, i just updated to the latest rom from HTC, it worked fine. The problem occurs after i had to restart the phone while trying to connect to a xifi AP...
Any idea what i should try now ?

Thanks. You saved my day.

OMG! Thank you so much! I love you!!!!!! I was stuck on boot because my flash failed and i followed your instructions and now i can flash again!!! i was so worried and if it weren't for you i would be screwed. Really you are a HUGE help! Keep the good work up

how long did you guys have to wait till the htc rebooted after that flash? cause ive been waiting for over 30 minutes and i thought i made that wrong.
Note: ive used HSPL fist, then flashed it with energyleo.23547, but energyleo kept stuck in bootloader
now im pretty afraid of loosing manufactors warranty ...

well lads, pay attention: ive fixed that my problem all by myself. HINT: ive kept holding the buttons for to long, so the device got stock while starting up. so dont press the voldown-button for too long, maybe only for 2 seconds!

hard reset

Remember boys and girls - if you get stuck on the bootloader you can also do the following:
1. Remove the battery to turn the phone off, leave 3 seconds
2. Replace battery and hold down the vol down button and turn on your device to get into the bootloader
3. It should say 'serial'. Plug your USB cable in and it'll change to 'USB'
4. Flash your stock ROM as normal using ActiveSync method. This will also reinstall the SPL (in the case of people who can't get past the first white HTC screen). I did this after the first (and only) time I tried to do it the SD card method. Put my stock SPL back on my phone

im pretty sure that flashing over usb won't do the spl. only sd card flashing can touch the spl.

When I tried to flash (after installing HSPL) using the sd card method and it bricked I went into the bootloader and it put my stock SPL back on - hence why I said if the sd card fails

I'd be inclined to suspect that In your case the spl was flashed during the failed sd card flash, so was already stock spl when you then flashed the stock rom over usb.(which of course being stock doesn't need hspl )

Hi Guys
I'm having the same problem, however, I bought the phone second hand. My question is how do I find out what my stock ROM is?
cheers

you download HSPL, run it, and if your spl is anything else than 1.42 it will give out an error and no harm is done

Hey
Thanks for replying. Do I get the stock ROM from the HTC website, is there a way to get it as a .nbh file as I am currently on a mac.
thanks

White Screen and HTC logo
I have found a similar problem, I flashed the HSPL rom following the instructions to the letter in the NOOB section.
Restarted my HTC HD2 having hard reset, and it would start and begin the installation and setup, once the setup completes, the software requests a soft reset, at this point my phone hangs on the white boot up screen with the HTC logo.
What am I doing wrong?

Stuck on White HTC Screen after ROM update
Why is it that, having run the HSPL update on my HD2 and checked that its successful, does my phone hang on the white HTC boot screen when it reboots after setup.
I have installed the energy rom, the most recent version. It still hangs at the boot after the rom does the soft reset...
Help please?

I have now installed a 'Leo_RADIO_15.31.50.07U_2.07.51.05 **(from HTC **???? )' then re-installed the Energy Rom, but still getting stuck at the white boot screen after the first reboot, so I have now done a hard reset and the phone still hangs...
Any more ideas?

Have i deleted the rom?

Hi
Big problem.
1. CID Unlock - has worked
2. Flashed new ROM - has worked
After 100% the RUU says, Congrats... But too late i saw it was an ELFI ROM with 74MB but my Touch is an ELF 64/128.
But it booted! Once...
After the device has rebooted i made the screen settings and after windows has configured the device rebooted again.
After reboot the device doesnt come back.
I got the boot logo and then the screen will be black.
Hardreset doesnt work.
After FORMAT FAT & FORMAT IS COMPLETED the screen is always black.
Holding CAM Button and Softreset brings the Colored-Display.
IPL 2.24.0002
SPL 1.11.0000
A new CID unlock doesnt work because there is no active sync connection.
Flashing any other ROM works but it seems to have no effect.
RUU can connect but dont shows any installed image version.
If i click update the progressbar in the HTC display appears and goes to 100%.
After finished the update the device reboots and the screen is black.
Did i have erased my htc? Is there any solution for this problem?
*** EDIT ***
I tried this ht*p://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-359413.html
Now i have IPL 1.11.0002 an SPL 1.11.0000
Step G3/7 says:
Download T-Mobile 2.26 rom (ht*p://rapidshare.com/files/38880130/ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship. exe.html)and flash it to your device! Done? Go to step G3 / 8
But the link is invalid. (yes ive seen the space at the . exe)
Does anyone have this file so i can try this step.
Ecosys

try upgrading the IPL/SPL to some 2.2X version. and next time post in an appropriate thread related to unbricking, u dont have to start a new thread.

Please give more details.
1. Are you able to get to the 3-color screen (press Vol-Dn + Power)? If so, what do you see?
2. What ROM are you using? Original or custom-ROM? If it is custom-ROM, you will need a copy of the BLACIMG.NBH file on your microSD that has to be slotted into the phone.
3. Did you do a full-charge of battery before you tried the first flashing of HSPL? If not, try re-charge till you see the green light then try again.

Your phone is still on SPL 1.15, then.
Here's a link to the Tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377&highlight=hspl
I used the instructions and downloads to update mine from SPL 1.15 to stock SPL 1.54 first when I first flashed. Then I found that there were video issues (see a 256-colour mode on Orange splash screen). Upon being advised by HTC0017, I flashed Olinex 1.56 and now all is okay.
