Hi Guys,
I am seriously hoping someone can help me out with this little issue. I'm in the Wallaby Bootloader v5.17. I have an XDA 1 and for the life of me can't seem to work out how to get out of it and back into the OS?? I have tried hard resetting it, soft resetting it only about 100 times, if I hard reset it and leave it for a minute then it won't come back on and then as soon as I put it back in the cradle the good 'ol boot loader comes back up!? I have tried holding the power button up the top of it and the pressing the soft and hard reset buttons (at different times and the same time!!)
Gone through a fair few menu's on it, ran tests, everything seems fine, just simply cannot get out of this bootloader..!??!
Any idea's?
Thanks heaps for any help in advance!
can't you do an upgrade or upgrade with same rom or maybe even try an upgrade without actual new rom present ?
I think you have to reflash xour device using sd-card. Instruction could be found here:

It would seem that you need a ROM for this to work, and that it needs to be put onto an SD card before putting it back into the PC... this would mean a couple of things, firstly that you need another SD Card reader/writery thingy .... and that you need to actually get a ROM from somewhere... Have never done this before either so I have no idea where to go looking for one!! Any help?!?
It there a combination of buttons to press just to be able to boot back into Windows CE that I haven't tried yet?
You can download a rom from the link after this text, there is no other way out of bootloader unless you have a key jammed and is causing the problem,. When you cook a rom choose sd card flashing at the base of screen, yes you will need a card reader/writer and a memory card of at least 64 megs.

Hi All,
Thank you xda forum, I was searching and learning from you and ppcgeeks all these two days.
My Touch Pro (Bell Mobility) now is always in reboot loop, it only shows white "Touch PRO" in the 1st screen. After around 30 - 40 seconds, reboot again. Neven been rebooted sucessfully.
Here are what I did:
1. originally it should be SPL-0.35 or -0.25 somthing like that, after use Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037 unlock , well done, it shows 0.37-comex (thanks this forum and authors)
2. use PC to flash a chinese version ROM, says sucessfully 100% done.
BUT after that it was going to reboot loop (what i guess is it's a GSM version only?)
3. I want to make it back to original, so I use that Raphael_CDMA_Relocker (BEFORE I REALIZED should flash BELL Stock rom first).
4. in tri-cololr screen, now it says RAPH800 SPL-0.37-0000 (relocked already?)
5. I could not flash anything in anymore, ActiveSync conection could not been connnected, and RUU always said 262 error and when reboot 100% goes to reboot loop, have to take out of the battery to close it.
Anyone have suggestion how should I do? I am still in the 1st month warranty, but afraid Bell will not accept it.
I tried hardset, use Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037 to lock it again (failed due 262 problem, stucked on 0% screen), or put different RAPHIMG.nbh (tried one by one) to SD card (always only "loading", and after long time i have to reboot it and still the same infinite loop).
Thanks for you patience, please ignore my bad english.

i suggest if you havent already done so: to put .nbh image on your sd card and boot it.
I agree. the only thing at this point you can do is flash from the SD card.
Take it out of your phone, and plug it into your computer. Take the .nbh file from another ROM that has worked for you and rename it RAPHIMG.nbh . Then copy that onto the Root of your SD card. put the card back into your phone, and enter bootloader by holding the power button, and volume down button, take your stylus and reset. (Don't need to hold the center okay button like a hard reset) take the stylus out and follow the instructions.
on my experience download a shipped ROM of any kind. If you still see SPL 0.37.CMONEX i think you are still safe. Just plug it in, active sync will not recognize it since it is in a different operating mode, just execute the shipped rom and that should do the trick.
unforunatly theres no bell shipped, just bell dumped roms..but put it in bootloader (hold volume down, poer, then stylus in reset hole till tri-colour screen) and plug it into your computer. does the word 'serial' change to 'usb' at the bottom? if so, run the RUU for the bell stock rom. feel free to pm me, im on bell too and im sure we can sort you out mate. lemme know if you cant find the stock bell rom

Hi guys. I've been here for while and over the years i flashed my hermes with various cooked and original roms over and over again. However, today i tried to flash it with the josh Manila2D_Black_V14_WWE rom to see if i could let go my iphone 3g and get back to my good old htc. Here's the thing: USB=Plugged, ActiveSync Ok, HardSSPL, Unlock Sim, the works... When i clicked RUUWrapper.exe all the process turns out good and then, puff! My screen turns black, the Led doesnt work, cant get it reset or hard reset, pulled out the battery and back in, nothing! then i took the USB PC cable and put it on wall charger. The led shows RED, the screen is dead, nothing happens. It stood there for a while, then i tried to hard reset. Went to bootloader, "Press R", "Then Space" "ok", PUFF! nothing happens. Cant get it sync with my pc, wont boot with hard reset, screen's BLACK, now the led stays GREEN all the time when i replace the battery...Can anybody help me out?! If theres a sollution im sure i'll find it here. Thanks in advance!!!
If you have Hard SPL V3 on the hermes, try to go to bootloader, Hold power, OK button and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until you get to tri-colour screen.
If you can get to bootloader then use the sd method to flash a different rom.
1. Format an sd card to FAT32, copy the .nbh file onto the sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Put sd card into hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. Follow instructions.
cheers...
Still nothing...
Thanks for the reply Ultra Well i tried the Power+Ok+reset but nothing happens, the god damn green LED just stays on forever. However i can get to boot with power+the 2 quick buttons from the windows and ok. Can i get access to the SD Card from here? Havent been updated for quite a while, any particular rom you may suggest? Looking for stability, speed and cool home screen... I really apreciated your answer man, thanks
Finally the Cure!!!
It is only fitted that i respond here the cure i´ve found once again in XDA-Dev.com for another serious mind blowing problem with a Herm200. After days and hours spent reading the forum, testing some possibilities, finally the solution. Well it appears that with a SPL 2.30, that doesn´t bootloads by itself or with a SD Card; does NOT recharge the battery, no RED Led whatsoever... the simple official ROM solves the case. I entered Boot Load Mode with side ok+power and stylus reset, appearing USB Mode when i connected it to my PC, NOT showing the connection in ActiveSync, however the USB blip did in the PC. So i knew it was connected, plus the "USB" written in the Hermes. I´ve tested with almost every ROM available in the XDA-Dev, ran to 1% then, crashed. Then i managed to dowload the Official Windows Mobile 6.0 from DOPOD WWE. Fortunatly, it passed 1% to 100%, reviving my good old HTC Hermes. Hope this information helps for anyone with a similar problem.
Cheers!

Hi All,
I flashed my HTC Fuze with the below ROM
Calkulin's Visual HTC Kitchen v4 for Touch Pro and my mobile is dead now. I missed to unlock the phone before running this update (although very clearly mentioned in the instructions )
Since the mobile is not booting I am not able to flash it with any other ROM or revert back what I did. Computer does not recognize the mobile through ActiveSync. I tried resetting the mobile (Power button + volume down button + OK button), it even says restoring to factory settings, but after restart still hangs at the AT&T screen.
Can anyone please help me out here or I need to take my phone to AT&T service, but that would be the last thing to do as I think the warranty is void with this tampering.
Well, I'm pretty sure that Calkulin cooks for the Herman (aka cdma touch pro). This is your problem (and maybe not your only one).
Flash a stock rom off your sd card.
Edit: Wow, that link takes you to the cdma Diamond forum at ppcgeeks. What were you thinking?
Thanks a lot Ted...!
Thanks a lot Ted. You are my "knight in shining armor". Atleast I have some hope, I think
You just said "Flash a stock rom off your sd card.". Can you please let me know or direct me to a post that tells how to flash rom off the sd card? I am however searching for the best fit for my set.
Also, I think i need to search for an appropriate ROM for my fuze this time.
Thanks again.
Um yeah...you might've just bricked your phone. Your best bet is trying to reflash your phone with an OEM ROM via a MicroSD card, then going to one of the cooked GSM roms on this forum.
Look at the stickied threads in this forum for the procedure and links to an ATT rom.
If that doesn't work, you could try going to an ATT store and playing dumb...there's a small chance they'll replace it under warranty if it hasn't expired yet. If all else fails...you might be able to score a fuze from ebay on the cheap...I'm sure there's a lot of people upgrading to touch pro 2.
Thanks for your reply.
streetlight22 and Ted, Thanks for your reply. I will try this today. Keeping my fingers crossed . If this works, I would be happier than ever (not because I could save some bucks.. but because I love my fuze and can't see it dying).
Every where the step says "renaming the ROM nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh or something like that. I am wondering if I also need to rename the .nbh file to something before running the update.
The rom image will be named ruu_signed.nbh (if it's a custom rom) or something longer if it's a stock rom. You should try a stock ATT rom image. Just rename it, stick it on the root of your sd card (must be FAT32), and see if you can go into bootloader. If you can't get into bootloader, you're screwed. Remember to hold volume down for several seconds after soft resetting. Press it down before soft resetting. If the tri-color screen doesn't appear, you're in trouble. It should appear briefly, then go grey with a message like 'loading image,' then it will tell you to push power. But if you flashed a diamond cdma rom, you may have totally screwed things up. Most people seem to recover from cdma touch pro roms, but if it's from a different device, you may be screwed.
Hi, if the tri colour screen appears you can try flashing trough your PC, it should find new hardware (htc hot sync or similar), then there should be USB written in the lowest part, then you can flash watever you want from the PC in the manner you are used to.
It worked.. it worked.. my fuze is now up and running WM 6.1. Thanks to all...! Special thanks to Ted for his quick reply and the tip "Remember to hold volume down for several seconds after soft resetting. Press it down before soft resetting". This is what I was not trying inorder to connect fuze with my laptop. My set is back to normal, up and running cool...
Once again thanks to everybody. xda-developers is really really a life saver . Great job guys, keep going...keep helping newbies like us.... we really need u
Hello!
It's insane, here is the description.
The android booted up just in safe mode.
The winmo had faults, so I've decided to change the whole system, with task 29.
At first I've changed my radio to the 2_12_50_02_2 version.
Than I've started the task29, the one what do not needs the radio.
Thats all I've done, and now I cannot reach the boot loader, or anything else.
The vol up and start trick is not working.
Please give me a solution, I need this phone working, I need a solution, and I appreciate every tip.
Thank You in advance!!!!
its volume down, not up.
same problem for me here
i did task29 and it was all fine, 100% reached and then the HD2 did a reboot, stopping at the black screen with the white HTC logo.
then as always i removed the battery and put it in again, holding vol down und clicking power-up once.
nothing happend... the phone vibrated once and got back to the HTC logo.
NO bootloader!
please do not tell me i'm too dumb to enter bootloader, i've been flashing custom roms for 6 months now!
my latest rom was Goatrip 6.0 and HSLP is 2.08
yesterday when goa6 was still "alive" the volume-down button worked fine, so the problem cant be some dust or dirt beneath the buttons.
edit: i've also tried flashing via SD card (clean FAT32 formatted 2gb card) the original stock rom 3.14 and a custom rom,
none of them is working either
every single hint of how i could solve this issue would be great!
hope to here from u guys
Remove the SD card and try again to go into BootLoader mode.
i have tried all methods and variations but i cant enter bootloader...
now i have found this thread:
--eeeeek cant post links --
its referring to the TP2 but i thought i would give it a try!
i've done this sketchy voldown+power+usbcable+batteryplugin thing but no result, even after 10 attempts :-(
Since you removed the battery, are all the pins straight?
those 5 (2 1 2) pins are in good shape
i cant post a link yet, ill send it to u via PM

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/122134-task29-didnt-complete-cant-enter-bootloader.html
i got it!
my stepfather owns a HD2, too.
i plug mine into his docking station while i was on the phone with htc support... just because i was bored waiting in the queue.
after the phone call i tried once again to enter bootloader e voila => boooom 3 colour screen!
i dont know whats the reason for, but i flashed my custom rom as fast as i could and it works fine.
but even now i cant enter bootloader properly...for 10 times trying 2 times actually work!
in the WM Os its no problem, Vol-Down functionality is 100%
cant explain that to me,
i think u need some luck to get this issue solved
___EDIT___
now with my customrom i could easily enter the bootloader via software command
and therefore i downgraded HSPL to stock spl1.42.000.
after this i flashed 2.08.hspl again and NOW my bootloader is working as intended!
u see, once u can get into bootloader again, all your problems can be fixed.
without him, you're f*cked
greetings
my TMOUS htc hd2 screen is no longer responsive to any sort of finger movement so i want to return it because my warranty still covers it, but in order to do that i need to put it back to stock ROM, and thats not happening because i cant get bootloader to start, i get the tricolor screen and it flashes gray then it stays on the tricolor screen, even though i copied the LEOIMG.nbh into the sd card, also did a complete format for the sd card before.
i cant start bootloader.exe from the phone because the screen doesnt respond to touching, all buttons work fine but thats not enough.
any ideas on how to get around this and get bootloader to start ? im out of options here ive looked it up for hours with no solution, someone else was having a similar problem and it was fixed when he did a complete format to the sd card instead of a quick one, i did that twice already.
Is there any reason you can't connect to a computer to flash? That's the only other way I know that would let you flash another ROM.
flashing a ROM isnt the problem, because i can get the stock rom on it but i need to also take HSPL out i need the radio to be the way it was when i got it and the only way that i know of to do that is by bootloader
If you flash a stock ROM even from the computer, that will usually include a radio, so you should be ok as far as the radio. HSPL should be able to be undone from the computer as well using HSPL2/HSPL3 and choosing the normal SPL from the list.
