Hi, so I found my old HTC Tattoo, and tried to boot it.
If I just try to boot it normally, it just stops at the TATTOO screen.
If I try to boot it while plugged into the computer, it does the same thing, but it also says FASTBOOT USB in the upper left corner, and my computer won't recognize it, it just says that there is something wrong with the usb device.
If I try to press MENU + BACK, and tap POWER, the menu comes up, flashing, and appears to be frozen, it does that until I release MENU + BACK, then it just starts to show the TATTOO screen, same with, or without computer.
So, can anyone help? I am a noob, so please give me easy directions
I'll be very happy for any help

hi there,
i bought this phone off ebay from someone who said i can reflash it to work.
it appears that the phone is realy dead.
The phone starts at&t splash appears, seems that it boots ok, however another splash screen appears saying GOODBYE and the phone powers off itself.
i tried to connect the phone on my PC with no luck. Used all the drivers and instructions through various forums but it appears that the phone is only found as "unknown device"!
When I try the Bootloader mode, I get :
*USB Downloader-Xcingular V1.2
[Phone] Active OFF
If i press left soft key + camera + power button, it boots into some other menu that has the windows moobile logo and on the very top it says:
Hit space or "0" to enter configuration
then if i press other buttons on the mouse it lists the following and after a few seconds it boots and powers off as in normal mode.
OEMLaunch BOOT Version : i607UCGD
INFO: Launch Windows CE .NET by jum
is there a solution to this stupid flash or shall i keep the accessories and battery and throw it in the garbage.
cheers
tio
Unfortunately no one has yet discovered a way to recover from this (flashing the wrong eboot to the phone)
If you are going to discard it, I would be willing to pay shipping etc. to see if I could resurrect it.
how would you go about doing that man?
i could resurrect it too if it was possible.
would a serial cable do the job?
is it the bootloader the problem?
is it that the phone cannot be recognized by the PC?
what is the problem here actually?
Hey guys,
So I've decided to flash my mates hd 2 with win 7.
i downloaded the rom from the forum which has the loader (i think).
i watched the video demo on youtube and followed the instructions there.
when I boot up the phone after rom updater, I can't get into the bootloader! all I can see is htc logo and nothing happens.
What do i do? Have I bricked the phone?
Please help!

With the phone turned off, hold the volume down button on the side of the phone and press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button until you see the tri-colored screen (this is bootloader).
at this point i would suggest you flash task29, enter tri-colored screen again (bootloader), then flash magldr v.1.12, then let the phone boot into magldr, choose option 5 and flash wp7.
Hi,
I cannot get into the tri-colored screen now! thats my problem. I updated HSPL to *.HSPL, and tried updating the rom and this happens!
I have tried the reset method by holding Vol + and - keys with Power button, but that doent help too
how do i used task29 when i cant get past the HTC logo on the phone?

try soft reset. remove the back cover then press a blunt pointed object such as a pen or stylus into the reset button to the bottom left of the SIM, near sd slot, and release. The phone will then reboot. try to get into bootloader as soon as it restarts
hi, i tried installing the rom again, and i get some cpp error?
dont know why.
i tried reverting back to stock rom, installed it successfully, and now when I unplugged the mobile, it turns off. when i plug it in it turns back on and it loops at HTC logo i mean, I turns itself off and turns itself on.
why do you think this happens?
Hi,
The problem is When I plug in my phone to USB, it boots up shows a HTC logo, with
R 2.06.51.07
G 15.30.50.07 U
D 1.66.76641
written in red on left corner and holds on for a few seconds and turns off, and turns on itself.
end note: the phone only starts when I plug it to USB, else its a brick
Long story short, I was attempting my second flash. I followed the steps before and everything was going fine. Now right before i open CWM to install android the MAGLDR ( which is version 1.13 ) gets stuck at "123456GOGOGO".
Now i thought maybe i would start my proccess over but I cannot acces the tricolor screen. I wasnt able to do this in the beginning of my proccess either, when i pulled up my HSPL program on my desktop my computer entered the tricolor screen on its own and I proceeded from there.
Basically i have looked around and have found some ways out of the GOGOGO problem, yet I cannot acces the Tricolor screen using hardware buttons so I am stuck. And its not a hardware issue. In MAGLDR the Vrockers work fine and before I did anything the rockers were working fine in Windows 6.5.
Any Ideas? I have a feeling i got a pretty nice paperweight now.
the normal way to enter the tricolor screen is to turn the phone off then hold the volume down button and momentarily hit the power button.
Also, To keep from getting to the 123456 GOGOGO hold the power button while it is booting normally and you will get to the MAGLDR menu and there you can go to the AD Recovery and flash a new rom.

pull your battery,
put it back in,
hold down volume and power button,
and theres your tricolor screen
True i know about to Volume Down and power key to enter Tricolor, but for some reason with my phone that does not access the Tricolor, tried it many times.
Holding the power button while it booted made no difference.
*******I followed these steps for flashing my rom:*****
First, you need your files!
HSPL4
MAGLDR 1.13
Clockworkmod Recovery
Download a ROM of your choice, I prefer Hyperdroid
Unzip only the first 3 files, and place the ROM zip on your SD card.
So, here we go!
Remember to back up all of your contacts and any data stored on the phone that you want to keep, because you will be wiping windows off ENTIRELY.
HSPL4-
Plug in your phone.
Right click the HSPL4 file and select "Run as Administrator"
Go through the screens, then when it's connecting to your phone your phone will go into bootloader (red, blue, and white screen)
Select HSPL 2.08 when it comes up, hit next. Let it work.
It'll popped up saying "We hacked it!", and you'll see it on your phone. Click yes, then ok and you're done with this step! Phone will restart.
MAGLDR 1.13-
After phone's restarted, go to the MAGLDR folder, right click "ROM Update Utility", and Run as Administrator.
Checkmark the necessary boxes to continue through steps. Then click "Update", then click next through screens.
Once it starts updating ROM image, it taks about 2 minutes. Then click finish.
Phone will reboot into MAGLDR.
Navigate MAGLDR using the volume up and down keys. Use the green button to select (you may have to click twice).
(At this part in the video I uploaded the ROM zip, I'm assuming you already loaded it though, so skipping on).
Flash Clockworkmod_150
Scroll down on MAGLDR to option 5 "USB Flasher". Don't select it yet.
On your computer, go to the Clockworkmod folder, right click the DAF file and run as administrator.
Click next until it gets to waiting for USB.
Now press the green button to put it in the mode.
Text will start to appear on the phone screen, and the Clockworkmod flasher will do its work.
Once done, click finish, and MAGLDR will reboot. It may say something like "kernel fail", it's normal, don't worry about it.
Scroll down to number 8 "AD Recovery", select it.
It'll say Go Go Go Go, and then you'll be in Clockworkmod Recovery!.

BUT! at this point i get stuck in GOGOGO and i have to remove battery.
I JUST got this phone and really want to atleast get it back to Windows Mobile so i can restart my flash.
read the link in my signature...i was there and few of the folks succeeded after completing the process
Hoping it wouldnt come to this but looks like i dont have a choice, hopefully I get a try your method out tomorrow since the success rate looks promising, Ill get back with the results!
Try to reset your phone. Push the red little button on the back near the SD card
I have the HD2 open and have removed the flex cable at the bottom of the phone yet when i connect USB it auto boots so i have to power it down and to do that i have to connect flex cable. once i have the cable connected i power down then i hold the volume button and before i can restart the phoen autoboots from the USB being plugged in so im in a loop.
But i cant boot without the USB being in so Im in a pickle. Again

Try this:
- Hold down the vol_down button and don't let go.
- connect the usb, don't let go of the vol_down button
- should go into bootloader
- now let go of the button.
Nope that didnt work either, any OTHER reason my phone wouldnt acces the Tricolor screen? Ive tried everything 100 times.
OK, I managed to really really screw my phone up!!!
I installed a 4.4.2 rom (crDroid) and everything was working fine.... USB debugging on and rooted.
Next I started playing with LCD Density settings and managed to get get a device that won't show anything past the LG logo.... just a blank screen.
I have tried connect it to my computer and using adb to push a new build.prop to fix it, but I can't seem to get this thing recognized via adb anymore.... all I see is an "unauthorized" device and I can't see the screen (b/c it blank) to make any changes to actual device.
I am really really worried that I have completely borked this device.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Another thing I should note.... I have tried many many times to boot directly into CWM (which I have installed version 6.0.4.4.). Unfortunately I think the LCD problem is killing me here.... I hold down the power+vol-down and then press them again when I hit the LG logo, but at this point the thing just goes blank.... I never actually see a CWM screen.
Again, thank in advance for your help... I am very very desperate and really have no idea what to do at this point.
OK, sorry for the freakout... I got this sorted out... it turns out I was following the wrong instructions on how to get into hardware reset mode.... for the vs980 you need to do the following...
1. press and hold power + vol-down
2. as soon as you see the LG Logo...
- release the power + vol-down buttons
- then immediately re-press only the power button
This should do it... some people were (I'm guessing for the other versions of the G2) were saying you needed to "re-press" both the power and the vol-down button and this was not working for me.
Please help me. I am in a sort of panic right now.
I have a ZTE Blade C2 v809, sold here in Portugal as Meo Smart A12. It was rooted and working fine. I was however getting some error 24's trying to install apps. I thought this might have had to do with using Titanium Backup to remove TouchPal (I did make a backup first), so I decided to restore TouchPal. There were however some errors in the restore and it was stuck there, so I decided to reboot the phone.
Chaos. Now it wont boot. If I press the button normally, the phone boots, I see the android logo, the screen goes black (Not shutdown black, a sort of light black background) and nothing happens. If I try to boot into Recovery mode by holding the power button and the volume down key, I just get the android logo stuck there, nothing happens. If I hold the power button and the volume up key, I get the picture of that laying down android with the message error.
Any more info I must provide please tell me, I am desperate for a solution, If I lose this phone I wont be able to get another one.
Okay I fixed it. Turns out the recovery menu DID work if I waited for a long time and tapped the screen. Used the update.zip available from the site, and it works like a charm
Yay, I bricked my phone, too.
I did something similar, changed recovery-from-boot.p name to recovery-from-boot.p-bak and install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh-bak
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, in fact it's stuck in a boot loop:
>starts
>shows white ZTE logo on screen
>restarts
Tried connecting the phone via USB cable and used fastboot devices & adb devices commands, no devices found.
Also tried pressing "power + vol down" and "power + vol up", nothing. I can't enter recovery mode or bootloader.
Apparently the remaining way to get in it's trough the SD slot, or maybe there's another way.
I kindly ask for help, couldn't be possible that I ruined this cell phone so fast.
Ideas, somebody?
