Well First i was Using OLD Gene P3400
My Gene came with windows 5.1 in it
I have Upgraded to Windows 6.1 1 year Back
Now when i saw 6.5 i thought to use it Downloaded 6.5 ROM Summit's PRO Users WM 6.5 ROM
And i have Installed it as Mine was already SPL'ed for Olip
And after downloading i have directly Started RomUpdate Untility.exe
and My phone was fine 100 % completed and now Restarting
after Restarting i dont know why But it stuck at the Windows 6.5 Splash Screen from 1 hour then i though i should Upgrade the SPL and i have UPGRADED to Oleref some thing
and thus i Bricked MY GENE OLD
it aint working from then

SO i have Pressed HOLD Camara Button and Entered INTO Tri Screen Boot Loader
and tried with GENEIMG.NBH strong into CARD Not Helped
Tried mytty not worked
In middle when i try to update the ROMS i used to get INVALID UPDATE TOOL
tried for 3 hours nothing helping
So i search in Forum and found same problem of 3 ppl
there every one wrote the phone was messed up with some ONL some thing u need to give it to Service centre
for and 1 hour i though i should give it to Service Centre
Then Remembered That "HOW LAZY I AM And will i go to Service center and give the phone lol ? "
NOPE i wont im very lazy so i wont
still searched and TRIED HARD SPL V.1.0 olip
and Tried with my phone now its Back to SPl olip

i guess i was celebrated too early...
i tryed to delete the HSPL
by the video tut ... ( yeh yeh ... what can be more easier )
well ...
it says to get a stock rom ( i did it )
it say to put it on the SD after formating it to 32 bit ( i did it )
then hard boot ... ( i did it )
power button ...
and ........... puff ...
now i get: ( On boot ):
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.0000 XE
microP(LED) 0x05
microP(TOUCH) 0x03
Upgrage ROM code error
Please try again ...
WHAT IS THAT ? :`(
dose it means i brick it ?
(p.s.)
Tryed to install the HSPL again ...
the install is successfull. ... but no change on the device ...

you have used the wrong rom.
you must use the correct rom that was on the phone when you got it.

Or the correct region. In doubt, just enter your phone's serial number on the HTC download page (here for 1.66) to make sure you get the correct official rom.
Then extract it, put the nbh on your card, etc.

" Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. "
hhmm .... i had the hong kong rom originaly ...
maybe it means i have to download it from an hong kong htc site ?

yes....choose the hk site

Are you solved the problem?
How?
I have a similar problem.
I have the same screen at boot, but when I try load anything my device as stuck in progress bar (0%) even for shipped rom’s…
This happens when I try load a shipped rom from SD. Before that I have loaded several cocked rom’s from SD without problem.

the fix...
hold volume up and down together and insert the USB cable then run a different or a good ROM

So my brother was trying to do who knows what to my hd2 and now the hd2 powers on and it says "stick together" (its a t-mobile hd2) and it just stays on that screen.. I'm not the most tech savvy person so bare with me... usually below where it says "stick together" it would show a bunch of numbers and codes and after a few seconds it would load windows mobile and the phone would work fine. However, mine just stays on the stick together and theres no more of those numbers and codes on the bottom.
Did he just brick my phone? And if he did... HOW THE HECK DO I FIX THIS???

HD2 brick
I just bricked my HD2 (USA T-Mous). I tryied update RADIO when was progress on PC 100% in PDA 96% and freezed. I just pulled battery and phone is bricked. When I connect to PC via USB, i can listen twice short plug sound and this is all. No bootloader, nothing. Any reason? Thanks

Did you try to turn on your mobile pushing "vol down" to load usb mode ?
After that, you can flash an official rom.
That "saves" my Leo...

if the radio had 51 in the version (example 2.07.51.xx) then it is a brick, dead, gone.

Help - Bricked/Broken Trophy?

Hi all,
Bought a brand new HTC Trophy from an auction site but has no warranty.
Going to contact HTC to see if they can provide some type of support.
Downloaded Zune and updated the phone fine the first time. It then mentioned another update was available so went through the process.
The last screen on the update said : Waiting for phone to reboot.
Now I watched the phone for over 30 minutes and it was stuck/frozen on the HTC logo when powering on so I switched this off thinking something had happened.
Now I'm unable to even power on the unit, factory hard reset or anything. Has anyone experienced this before?
Regards,
John

Try going on HTC's website and asking their support staff if they will repair it under the general warranty?

Yeah I've emailed HTC but of a language barrier. Kept mentioning to return to my dealer, however I didn't buy it from a dealer. Will see how I go.

Hello,
Make a gold card with the Y cable and unbrand the Trophy, and then put other ROM in it, it will work with Y cable process.
Regards

Hi Prootc1, my phone initially had a stuck HTC logo and was forced to power it off. Since then, the phone will not respond to any keys / power on at all. It's pretty much 100% bricked with no responses/leds/lights emitting.
I'm wondering if I do find a repair service that offers JTAG, may be the only way? but this is assuming the phone can be switched off to reflash?
Anyways an update is that I've taken it to our local comms provider who are sending it away for service. Will hear back whether it's under warranty or not.

This Could Indicate That the downloaded image (. Nbh file) is corrupt, re-download the image.

Hey LEFTKOYL,
Can you try the RSPL/HSPL tool?
I've given WickedPenguin a guide which should help you (assuming your on the correct boot loader version)...Get that tri color screen and note down the SPL details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207721

I too am having the multi-color screen appearing. I plugged my phone into my computer last night for the first time and it said there was an update. I left it running and came back to a 'failed update' message and this screen. From the pieces I have gathered, from reading in the developer section, it appears I am hosed. There is not a SPL unlock for my model of the Trophy, which apparently goes by the name 'SparkW for Verzion' as well. This was not a pleasent way to start my day.

use this method by ansar
Use this method by Ansar ..

not that the method are the same but if you are not using HTC vodafone France you can use a different rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Trophy/Shipped_Roms
you can also try the Gold card method too...
If your phone is completely dead .. you can do JTAG brick repair .. if you want someone to do it for you ..you go to mobileTechvideos here :

you can also use the gold card method here too :

"dead" Tattoo - need solution

Dear friends, my HTC Tattoo is having a big problem with is start.
This happened when I tried to install, via market, the opera browser and noticed that the machine crashed. Every time I trie to start the phone, the android puppet appears, then the HTC logo and then the phone stays "frozen", not starting the operating system.
I also tried to recover the phone (which is root) through the usual key combination but doesn't give anything.
Is there any method to install the original android 1.6? I don't now if i can assume that the device is formatted but how do I put the original system (just the same as as it left the factory) back on?
Someone has an idea that might help? I really need help because I dare to stay with a expensive brick...
Thanks in advance, yuri

Sorry but i did not understand what's happening when press power+volume down: is recovery there? Hboot?nothing¿?

Dear
I think without rooted this is not possible. So root your tattoo & install the original rom again. I also installed many rom s like as gingerbread. froyo. cm7,joyOS but still i have original android 1.6 installed.

Try to flash official RUU if your PC sees your phone
