On an AT&T Siemens SX56 I did the hold down the power button and soft reset to get into the bootloader. I only wanted the version number so I soft reset on the first screen. It caused the equivalent of a hard reset. I lost all of my data (fortunately I had a backup).
I probably should have mentioned that it is bootloader 5.22
I've made the same experiences.
It's normal, so you do not to be worried about this.
Somewhere in the forum, there is a thread about this.

I saw this question more than once in the forum, but without an answer...
:roll: my Qtek (1010, latest Ce and Radio versions), stuck in a middle of ROM update,
and now he's dead!.
nothing helped... i tried to soft / hard reset it, nothing.
The worst part is that I can't even enter bootloader mode (soft reset while holding the power).
That means I can kiss him good-bye, right? :?
There's no way to flash "dead" qtek, without bootloader mode? :?:
Thanks,
(I really love this forum :!: )

In short: no, it's dead, send it back for (warranty) repair...
Hey Guys.
Have a little problem with my xda. I want to upgrade to WM2003 via SD-Card-Method, but i can not enter the bootloader.

Tried also after a hard reset, but that didn´t change anything.
Last Rom-Update worked via Bootloader.
I user a cooked kitchen rom 3.17.03 with RSU 4.21
Any one got infos how i can "repair" it?
Regards

If I'm not mistaken XDAtools can be used to reload your boot loader.

My two weeks old Softbank X01HT PDA got stuck on its start up with Windows Mobile screen. All key clicks can be heard, but nothing is happening. When dialing from another phone, ringing tone can be heard but PDA shows nothing. Few days back I tried to install freeware called ScreenLock, but failed in registraition. I suspect whether it works.
Anyway I tried soft reset, but still stuck. CD & Manual received are in Japanese, hence I am helpless. What can I do?
I think you should perform a hard reset, But all your datas (phone book, installed applications ,...) would be lost.
Hold the 2 Softkeys and reset your device with stylus. follow the instructions and on your device and do a hard reset.
Hard Reset doesn't work
Dear BSBOYS
Hard reset does not work. still problem exists.
so, in this case you should provide detailed information about your device including IPL, SPL, your rom details .....
BTW, have you read the WIKI???
Thanks bsboys, It worked! Thanks a lot!!
Hi,
i flashed a rom 2 weeks ago, everything went well. yesterday i wanted to flash another os but before i could flash it, it seemed to get bricked. It stucks on the "HTC Splash" (not the WM6 Splash). I read a lot of threads and wiki threads but i don't unterstand anything! What i've to do to unbrick my phone? I tried to flash another rom but after 0% of flashing a error appears.... flashing with sd card doesn't work, too it changes to bootloader after the "Loading..." screen
i havent got hardspl or something...
please help!
UPDATE: i got the sd flashing to work... same thing but: now it stucks at the WM splash, not the t-mobile/htc one...
You need to find out what SPL you have (I'm guessing 2.03 but if you have 2.10 olipro then its got Hard SPl on it) and then do a search for "bricked SPL x.xx". You will probably find a HEAP of posts. However, some advice that seems to recover a small minority (sometimes with the "No GSM" error) -
1st thing to do is do a hard reset. Both softkeys and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until it asks if you want to reset to factory. Press "R" on the slideout keyboard and the "Space".
Hopefully this will fix. If it doesn't, Put it in bootloader, connect to pc (make sure "Allow USB Connection" Active Sync settings have been unticked) and run the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. This is the rom the Hermes came with originally. This MAY fix it otherwise you're in for some major reading and hair pulling.
If you should fix this then PLEASE, for the love of god, Hard SPL your Hermes before going into the wide world of flashing.....
Good Luck...
thanks i'll try it. hard reset causes kinda... nothing^^
i hope i can fix it otherwise i'll buy a touch pro
...but i think it doesn't work, because i flashed a shipped rom via sd card yesterday and the problem is still there... isn't there any way to put hard spl on my device, yet?
Try re-installing the stock rom again using sd card (if thatys how you did it last time), it could've been a bad flash. I've had those a couple of times myself. Just remember to install Hard SPL if you're successful as it makes it SOOOO much easier to recover from bad flashes.
Last thing to check would be if you have "bad blocks" using MTTY. If the boot sector has been stuffed up this may cause this problem. Do a search through the wiki, its been covered extensively...
Cheers...
okay i think my problem is solved: t-mobile replaced my device
first thing i'll do with my new device: HardSPL^^
anyhow thanks!
Upgrade successful but now stuck
I have a Three (au) Dopod 838 pro, which I upgraded from the original Windows Mobile 5 to the Three Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM. Unfortunately I didn't read up on this site first, I thought it would be straightforward since it was a ROM from the manufacturer and all, so I haven't Hard SSPL.
The upgrade reported as successful and my PC disconnected but the phone won't boot, it sticks at the Dopod screen with some numbers at the bottom. They are:
M 05 R 1.47.30.10
S 04 G 32.80.7020.20H
B 07 D 3.54
I have tried hard resetting, and returning the phone to bootloader and reflashing the same new ROM image, always with the same result.
On the bootloader, it says
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
Is there anything which can be done or is it a trip to the service centre (wherever that is)?
Just checking - Hard reset = both soft keys above the dialler closest to the lcd and reset with stylus. Hold in until it asks if you want to reset to factory. Press r on slideout keyboard then space.
This is a hard reset, not just using the stylus.
Otherwise, you have a LOT of reading material to go through with (maybe) no actual solution.
Cheers...
tried that
Thanks, but yes, I had tried that, a number of times. I think the phone will be going to a service centre today.
My brother had to re-lock and send in his phone in because the touch screen stopped working.
He now has his new phone but it won't unlock. He says the unlocker ran via ruu, but it didn't change the boot loader. He then tried to hard reset the phone but it wouldn't, it would just soft reset. He then flashed the stock rom (as a way to force a hard reset) After the flash, after carrier cabs installed, the phone is stuck at alignment screen. If he soft resets, it just boots and goes to the alignment screen. So 2 questions:
1. How to get passed alignment screen?
2. How to get this phone ulocked?
TIA for any help!
If this is the wrong place to ask, I apologize!
You are in the wrong section of the forum if you have a Verizon phone. Go to the CDMA section of the Raphael forum and you may find some answers there. Good luck!
