hi nightmare,

so, could you please describe what exactly happened, what is your XDA2 behavior now, can you connect with terminal, is the LED on while connected to charger or cradled...
i mean everything.
buzz
when i plug the device into charger there is no power LED, plus i pressed (power button + any directon + rest) and nothing apper (not even bootloader)
plz help me to get it work again.....
best regards and wishes
nightmare
...something similar happened to me. unfortunately i was not able to fix it myself.
so i sent it to repair. it was repaired under warranty...
interesting is, that they fixed it very quickly without even opening it.
there must be a way to do it... but how...
try to ask itsme from this forums...
maybe there is a way to boot it over eboot and upload new bootloader or talk to it with direct serial cable
good luck
buzz
thanks alot buzz_lightyear
yah smae here i was thinking about buying serial cable,,,,, :roll:
thanks for telling me it did happen to u lol
yeah...
it hapenned to me because i was trying to port W2kSE to XDA2 and i did forget to remove 2.06 bootloader out of the flash file...
as i said, try asking itsme. he knows probably the most here...

I had similiar problem but my XDAII is fine now with WM2K3SE on it ...
Hey guys!
I know this topic really dosn't belong here, but i know that the guys in this forum has much knowlegde so i am trying here!
I have this HTC Hurricane phone, and yes i have asked there but no one seems to be able to help, and then i wanted to flash WM6 on it. For that i needed another SPL, which i got from there and flashed it. The flash it self went fine
But for some reason now, the Hurricane can't do anything at all. I can't turn it on normally i just get a white screen after about 10 seconds after i press the power button. The same happens when i try to get to the bootloader (!), all i get is a white screen after about 10 seconds of nothing. When the device shows me this white screen i also can't get it to connect with my PC! The computer dosn't see it at all, not just active sync, but i do not get that windows xp sound when i plug in a usb device.
So, what can i do? Is this a really good example of a bricked device or what?
I hope you guys will accept that i write here. The Hurricane forum is as good as dead, and i know you guys here for your expertise!
~D
I think JTAG or similar or replacing hardware (DOC Module) might save it, but I don't think there is anyway to flash through USB without the bootloader working...

okay that was what i thinking too.. well since i got it very cheap i don't think i will spend any money on such operation.. i guess its quite many money?
Just seen this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Rom_Dump
Note that the prompt only comes up for a few seconds and then it will continue to enter the bootloader.

The end of it implies that you can load a ROM from the storage card BEFORE bootloader kicks in.
Not sure if this will work on a Hurricane but it might with some modification and a working device :s

I have just tried the method. But still i do not get anything, but i white screen. I checked that my ROM dump worked by the other phone. It does ask me if i want to install the rom, but on the bricked one, i do not get anything just that white screen
Guess thats it?
Then I think it is a good example of a bricked phone...
G4 rom dump?
Hi xda-members,
I wanted to know if it's possible to backup and restore a G4 device. On the wiki, it says i need a CID unlocked device.
I think if you hardSPL your device, it should be fine (HardSPL circumvents the CID checking procedure).

Ok, on another tread. They said if you got an error while backing up you have a CID locked device. And i already have created a backup. So i think it should be fine.
I was following the instruction here on how to backup and re-flash your own Hermes ROM:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/...ring-your-htc-hermes-rom/page/20/#entry894621
After I completed the last steps 9 of running RUUWrapper.exe, the screen told me that my ROM upgrade have completed successfully. then I looked at my Hermes and the screen is black and and it seems to be powered off.
After exited RUUWrapper.exe my PC Activesync icon is gray.
So I tried to soft reset and also hard reset, nothing happends.
I took battery out overnight and put back in and hit power and still won't turn on.
I plug USB cable in and the charge indicator amber light doesn't come on, if I have the battery out while USB cable plugged in, the charge LED will become red, but as soon as I put the battery back in the red LED goes away and doesn't turn amber color (the normal charging LED)
I've read both of the following:

Common Upgrading Problems in HTC Hermes
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem6
any suggestions please??
Will doing the KITL+PB to try to boot OS will help? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
But my Hermes won't even turn on now?
First thing I'd try (if you know someone with a hermes like yours) would be to swap batteries and see if theirs wont turn on with your battery and if your hermes will with his battery. Or you could go to a phone shop and see if they have a spare battery lying aroud to try (with the added promise of a potential sale if it works). Hope you can fix it though... Cheers...
Actually I just swap battery with my friend's working Hermes and his can turn on with my battery, and mine still won't turn on with his battery.
Seems there's very little I can do if my Hemes won't even turn on or response with USB cable plugged in.
Any other suggestion? I'm getting pretty desperate.
sounds like a hardware problem. if its under warranty, take back. If not, and you really wanna get fixed, you might have to pay. Check pricing first though as you may decide to upgrade instead.
i hav exactly the same problem. herme 300 t-mobile bootloader 1.11 (ipl 1.01) i never managed to flash it ether with sd card or from my pc (winxp). i recieved different errors: invalid vendor, not allowed... help plz
sorry form the poor english
paloma728, you need to sim/cid unlock your phone, HERE : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
THEN you need to Hard SPL your phone... HERE : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
But 1st you need to do some reading through those threads I just gave you. Also look for mrVanxs upgrading guide. You wouldn't have got in trouble if you had've first done some research....
Hope this helps you out of your mess... Cheers..
ultramag69. with all respect, how can i cid or sim unlock it. my herm stk in bootloader 3color screen. sometimes turns on but the screen remains black (displays nothing) by the way this was the result of wrong flashing (idont know how bkz i gave i to a friend to do the job 4 me!! . may u help me out of this. actually i did alot of reading but couldnt find any solution to my device.
thx 4 ur concrn
1st thing I'd try to do is to Hard SPL the phone. That was on page 116 of the "Hard SPL or how not to brick your hermes" thread I directed you to. It shows how to do using sd card. Then try to reflash with stock rom. This should get you back to where you started. Use the sd card method as I don't think you'll be able to use the pc. I don't know if this will work as it sounds like your friend also didn't Hard SPL your phone.
You REALLY shouldn't let anyone play around with such an expensive toy without proof that they know what they are doing (for example, own one themselves and have flashed their own MULTIPLE times with no problems) ... You might have a very expensive paperweight, and a bit more wisdom about letting others do what you should have learnt to do yourself.
All the best and I hope you get it working... Cheers...
i tried the solution u gave but didnt work too. the solution works with unbricked devices i gues (able to copy and excute files from it) but for me i tried to boot only the"HERMIMG.nbh" from the sd card (4 color screen or just black screen) & wich shows the following error code:00068002
thx for ur help.
paloma728, try flashing a stock rom. yu can do this by the sd card method too. I REALLY don't know if this will work but at this point it can't hurt. Nothing to loose and everything to gain... As it is the "right" update it MAY pass the CID check. Hope all goes well... Cheers..
your battery topped off while being plugged is my best guess. i dont think it's with the flashing of the rom at all
im new to this stf. (stock room)?. is it the exacly the method of copying the "RUU_signed.nbh" file to sd card and rename it to "HERMIMG.nbh" ?
if this is what u meant by stk rm then im not lucky again. i tried it b4 with many different rooms & always get errors
plz may u explain? thx for ur help & concern
today i downloaded an original room from t-mobile NL then tried the sd method & i recieved a new error code:"00028002 not allowed".
what does it mean plz?
You may have to take back to your supplier and see if they can fix under warranty if that didn't work. Don't hold your breath though...
unfortunatly there's no splr in here (morocco). thx alot mate

Hello ,
my HTC Touch pro was bricked few months ago
i installed WRONG hard spl
on pc it showed 100% Completed
but i couldnt start my phone
how can i fix this ?
if i use Hard Reset method, i doesnt work , i cant start my phone
have you tried installing a new SPL via storage card (rename spl file to RAPHIMG.NBH and place it on the storage card) and enter bootloader mode by holding the vol down button when powering on the device?
the problem is
i cant start bootloader
nothing is working
I think you got yourself a brick...
Does it at least vibrate?
Run SPLExploit!
Dude, i have the same problem with you too but its not my TouchPro but its my old school Dopod D810. I flashed custom rom (my home cook) but forgot to add sumthin and finally i learned somethin that i can ****up my phones LOL. Just like what i thought my phone wont start and it refuse to enter on Windows OS but atleast bootloader mode still accessible. Thanks God
I search for post how to recover bricked phone (ofcourse on trinity room) and found some tools call "SPLEXPLOIT" it runs on DOS Mode. This program can erase your nand memory which in this case you flashed the wrong SPL and will rebuilt some bad Nand memory too. Good tho
I finally can bring my dead dopod came to life (for almost 1 year i left it on garage) lol. Just asked cmonex! maybe he can help you...
If this tools works universal i'm sure it will worked on TP too! Just asked cmonex for more details...
Run SPLExploit (as Administrator) --> while Enter in Bootloade mode -->
Just make sure that USB Cable was recognized as "USB" on the bottom of the screen not "Serial"!
When its done ....
NOTE: "Dont Soft Reset the phone even when SPLExploit ask you to SR the devices" just go ahead straight away flashing new custom rom or anything you want
Goodluck!
The OP can't get into bootloader, because the bootloader is corrupted/dead. So that isn't going to work.
JTAG is the only way to fix it, and as far as I know, no one knows how to do it on a Raphael.
Maybe playing with BIOS ( if BIOS can be accessed ) might help.
But BIOS can really make ur brick a worse brick if done wrongly please ask for help from the senior most members on Raphael forums.
And request them don't order them.
And if nothing works * I love to say this line *
You Just got Yourself a New Shiny Fine Edged Black Clear 600 U.S. Dollars worth Of a BRICK ! Enjoy !

Do you tried to start bootloader manually?
You can do that, press and hold Vol down, then reset button (with stylus), release reset (keep vol down pressed) and when the multicolor screen appears then release vol down key
I hope this can help you?

That is the only way to go to bootloader but as Farmer Ted mentioned his phone ( including bootloader is dead ! )
So i don't think there is any way out for you except if any really senior members can help you with bios or pump in something which starts your bootloader !

Several people around here are always looking to replace "stuff", including me .
the same problem
I did the same thing to my HTC Fuze aka rafael or touch pro, from some reason it was the same thing as diamond and i flashed wrong spl and completely bricked it, no bootloader no nothing. So i went to a service and they said it was a hardware problem so they had to send it somewhere else to be fixed. It took them 3 weeks to get the phone back, in not working condition saying that motherboard was dead. I guess thats what happens when you flash wrong stuff... Now i dont know what to do either. I would like to sell mine for parts if someone is interested or if someone know how to use jtag i would pay him to try to fix it...
hello folks,
first off thanks to all the people who help make this forum better and better.
have used you're help a few times especially trying to flash a rom. but now there's a problem... I've installed artemis Rom a couple of times but I wanted the newest so I've downloaded it, flashed my hd2 with task29 like always. pressed vol. down button it restarted until white boot screen. ok, possible, so I reset it and press vol. down again. but still white boot screen. after trying it for 70(!) times. I used the forum. saw that maybe hooking it up to pc and starting custom rom .exe should work. but no. wont even start when hooked to a computer. so please help!
Info:
Cotulla hspl 1.42.00
Task29 by dooloop performed( got stuck after that)
Rom Artemis. 31.5 (current) 35.1 (wanted to install.
Thanks In Advance
Maajelvv
Two possibility's;
Tray to do a hard reset,
Ore tray to install Stock Rom!
tried hard reset. (pulled out battery waited 20 sec. then put it back in. pressed vol. down and power button.) didn't work for 30 times...
have put leoimg.nbh on sd card. but can't get to the tri-colour bootloader so can't install anything...
Thanks for you quick response by the way.
If I get into bootloader there should be no problem but I can't get there :S
I'm out off Idea; tray to send Sir Sternas a PM with your question, maybe he get some Ideas; ore tray to ask this question on the Artemis Thread, there are also helpful peoples out there!
Edit; I just add your question on the Artemis thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8450678#post8450678
you haven't made hard reset. if you wont to do hard reset you have to press both volume buttons and then pres power buton ( or press red button near batery ).
also try to make a goldimage ( search the forum ).

As Luka1111 said, you haven't done a hard reset. Check this out:

That I didn't see/read it correctly the way he did a hard reset??
I think it is HSPL 1.42 or an old RADIO-ROM.
System specs for Artemis are SPL 1.66 or above and RADIO 2.07.51.22_2 or above.
Install newest Stock ROM with the mentioned versions or flash HSPL and RADIO manually.

What´s the size of your SD-Card? Flashing from SD works only with max. 8 GB - Card, 16 GB or more won´t work! (Own experience!)
Can you connect your device to ActiveSync? Or otherwise stated: What happens when you connect your device to your PC? Does ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center even startup?
BTW, what happens when you start your device now? Does it hang or just load your old Artemis version??

Hi Uli,
the poor man cannot enter bootloader mode and, as I understand from his posts, not connect to his PC. So how can he flash HSPL and/or Radio? There must be something fundamentally wrong with his device, but I also had a similar problem a few weeks ago and, although it took a lot of time, I managed to get it to work again.
BTW, as I already mentioned SPL 1.42 is not the problem.

Hey Kuzibri, You are absoluteley right. I get no connection true active sync or anything. I'm pretty sure there's something really wrong here. never had this problem before. btw I've mistaken with
my spl version. it's the one Sir Sternas recommended. Spl 1.66 HSPL.
I'm Really confused right now. and Pissed off at the same time...
I mean I loved my HD2 with Artemis Rom close to beeing perfect.( installed Igo8 witch right before I went on holliday, stopped working but mannaged to get TomTom navi to work ) then suddenly my answer button stopped working. so I figured let's install a new Version of Artemis rom. I backed up all my files using microsoft my phone. then used task29. done. So I tried to get to the bootloader.... Nothing. tried attatching it to the pc and hoping it would start if I pressed the custom rom .exe (Read somewhere id might work) Nothing not even a blank screen for startup. now I've got nothing else I can think of. please, U guys have given me so much good suggestions.

Hey guys,
maybe you haven't read my whole posting: Have you tried to get access to tricolor bootloader without pluged in SIM and SD?
If you had trouble with your answer button before flashing, is it possible your volume button is also without function? Therefore it seems to be a hardware problem.
Sorry, if this is not the answer you would like to read, but the advise to test without pluged in SIM and SD is my last. Entering bootloader is a basic system feature, as far as I know.
Best regards,
Uli

As I already mentioned, this poor guy has a major problem with his device, which seems to be hardware related (either volume down button does not work or the on/off key). After having extensive contact with him by phone, the only solution seems to be to bring it back to the store to let it repair. Unfortunately, he will have a great chance to loose his warranty, because HTC probably will be able to found that there is another ROM installed. Whish Maarten good luck with his problem!! Also very sorry I could not help you to solve your problem. I'm personally very disappointed by that!
