This thread is for information of those who are NEWBIE’S like me and are struck by a syndrome which is between complete bricked Atom Exec and Semi bricked one (not described by anyone as yet). First of all the symptoms, my Atom Exec during a ROM upgrade stuck at Update Screen. No matter what I did, including ‘pressing the camera and soft reset key’ or ‘removing battery and while pressing camera and reset key replacing the battery again’, for going in bootloader my Atom Exec remained on Updating Screen (of death). On attaching it through USB it would go in the upgrade processes after starting the ‘Device Software Update Utility.exe’. However on reaching ExtendedROM updation it would stop and give an error ‘ExtendedRom upgrade Fail’ like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...Atom+Exec+always+at+update+screen#post1025943
Then I also went through the bricked test as told in Wiki by removing the battery for at least 1 minute and then replace it while observing the LED lights. if the LED blinks once upon battery insertion it is semi dead. But in my case it did not even blink. then I went for diagnostic test process by pressing the camera and record buttons, and soft resetting at the same time. The diagnostic results were:
Sdram test : OK
Display test: OK
Keyboard test: Fail
Flash test: Fail
Serial test: OK .
The first thing I did was search the complete forums (as ordered by our great seniors specially homer285 who is always ready to strike) and the result at the end I got was to ‘GET MY ATOM REPLACED OR REPAIRED’ as it was bricked.
Then I got an idea and got hold of the original O2 ROM ‘Xda-AtomExec-ENG-20060614_R060428N_EX0028.exe’ and extracted all its files to ‘C:\WINDOWS\Temp’ directory. Afterwards replaced ‘Device Software Update Utility.exe’ with the one from Chartreux’s ‘ATOM_EXEC_WM6_AKU0.7b_20071216A3WWE_6MBPP.7z’. After attaching the USB I started the upgrade and instead of ‘ALL’ I selected ‘OS+EBoot’ only by pressing tab key and down arrow key. And VIOLA my Atom Exec started rebooting in the normal mode after upgrading. However, it stopped at the Windows screen while booting. Afterwards I applied the great Jiggs formula of semi-dead bootloader explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1534132&highlight=To+get+back+to+the+bootloader%2C+do+this+exactly+in+chronological+order#post1534132
And now my Atom Exec is again dancing to the tunes.
Man am I happy and hope it helps some one else like me.
Great one thanks it saved my Atom Exec
bro i saw that u hae atom exec rom to wm6 and the touchflo version. can i have i full copy of that and a full detail instruction to upgrade it, becuase i just bough the phone and im damn worry to upgrad, cause scared spoilt the phone, or facing any error then i die. thanks man
claven86 u can get fresh copy alongwith instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352622
For detailed instructions on the different issues of upgrading to WM6 read in detail here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352221 and in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333165 and also remember:-
Upgrade Procedure:NEVER ATTEMPT TO UPDATE YOUR DEVICE USING SD CARD FLASHING!!!
1. Unzip the file into c:\windows\temp
2. Connect device to PC under Windows XP using USB cable
3. Make sure all the files inside c:\windows\temp
4. Run the Device Software Update Utility.exe
5. Follow on-screen procedure
I'd love to say it worked for me too...... But it didn't :-(
Mine's an Atom, I'm running Windows XP.
I've successfully run the Charteaux DSUU with the files from an original WM5 ROM through through the OS + Eboot option.
Then on re-trying to upgrade it hangs at the Entended ROM again. Gives the error MOT Sync Fail 0x2b, and the xxxxxx's get as far as P...in please. I'm waiting on average 40 minutes each go. Same spot, every time, regardless of what rom's used :-(
Any idea's for me to try?
Cheers,
How many stages are there? Its stage 5 its hanging at. I'm wondering if I can try upgrading the radio separately...
I think u cannot do the radio only with ‘Device Software Update Utility.exe’. However, you can upgrade just the os+mot. Please read the complete Wiki on the subject as urs is an Atom and there is little difference in upgrading/Un-bricking a device.

well i did the silly thing and did a flash upgrade on my atom exec to WM6 v7
it went 100% restarted fine
but now!!!!! im stuck on the align screen it doesnt listen to my taps, if i move my fingers all over the screen it eventually pick it up but it isnt accurate enough so keeps restarting the test align session... HELP PLEASE i have meetings comming up and need this phone
i can get into boot loader mode but when i connect phone to laptop it doesnt connect active sync while in bootloader mode...
can i skip this screen align somehow
You are not suppose to upgrade the EXEC with the ROM .
Check out the WIKIPEDIA ATOM solutions page for assistance.
I think therz a way to get back to the ORIGINAL ROM , ask a SENIOR for help also search the forums for older posts , i remember someone with ths same problem as yours
really? i just ran the utility here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333165
without making any changes to it
how do i go back to original pleaseeee help someone... if i got in boot loader mode and run the same upgrade utility (as linked above) it lets me click upgrade but then quickly says connection failed and then my bootroom reads:
"please use DSUU in OS mode and sync with PC first!!!
where do i get original and how do i do it please... maybe there should be a sticky for stuff ups like this
wow no one is kind enough to help... ive tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331818&page=1
but it freezes on 6% and i took the advise read in the wiki to hard reboot then run DSUU , and it does the same thing (stuck at 6%)
well now i have the wm5 starting but its stuck again on the tap the screen? ignoring my taps...
could it be my screen is stuffed? although it worked before the flash
okay !!! progress!!!! ....'
ive finally called o2 and put their rom and it works to a certain point, the align screen detects my taps but it just keeps repeating over n over n over asking me to keep taping around the screen???
Hard Reset
I think hard reseting it once should solve the issue...........if it doesn't try reflashing it once again.....worked for me............brute force is needed sometime
no i figured its screwed my digitzer somehow so im asking for calibration data in other post
Hi
I was using the "ROM for Prophet ShadoW 1.0 (Vista Edition)( Clean Edition )" and encountered numerous problems with this rom so decided to revert back to my previous rom "PDAVIET". I plugged my deviced in and attempted to run the "batch file" followed the dos cmd prompts and ended up with the frozen screen.
1. Hard reset does nothing it just shows the boot screen and freezes
2. Whenever i try to install a rom it says device is not detected
Here are some details
I was using the Prophet Shadow 1.0 VU
Trying to run upgrade_rom.bat from PV_4.0.0.0.6_Touch when it happened
HT PRophet
G3 Version
last hard reset was now (just after it happened) whenever i format it it just does it really quickly like its not really doing anything
Cant soft reset the device
Cant shutdown
Device can no longer be detected
IPL 1.00
SPL 2.G£.4PDA
GSM 02.47.21
OS 4.0.0.0
Basically the os cannot boot properly therefore it cant be detected i need some sort of auto boot program
Can anyone help

Thanks guys, i am unable to move any files on my device because i can now only get the rainbow screen. My phone cannot be detected by active sync.
When i try to run an RUU it does a little more then it previously did in terms of shpwing me the percentage bar (installation process) but my rainbow screen turns off and then i get an error message.
Now the rainbow screen appears every few minutes on its own and goes off again.
Am i misunderstanding what your saying?

Thanks for your help. I will have a look tomorrow because even though i am reading your instructions i am still not understandingh it.
1. The first method isnt possible because i cannot see the device to move files into it
2. With the second method i cannot find the PVTemp you mention
I am not too good with this so it will take time for me to get what your saying.
Thanks again - i will charge my phone overnight to make sure my battery is ok
Update: Phones now working fine, it was my battery that needed charging

hey there been a member for sometime and have tried to search for a solution to my problem and am abit confused.
and sorry if its such a newb question (dont burn me for it)
i have an o2 atom exec (using RC3 rom with touchflo) and yesterday i /soft reseted/ the phone because it was acting funny, after the reset it would be stuck at the startup screen and would not load past that the whole day, so i waited and re-tried in the evening.. the same thing occured... i was at the time able to load into bootloader (MN2) but then could do nothing else.. so i searched throughout the forums and found a post by 'chartreux' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1684559&highlight=EBOOT.NB0 but had not read the entire post and proceeded to load (mn1) onto my phone via mini sd card and it worked, my phone was working again, it performed a hard reset and restored it to factory settings (ie: calendar, msgs, contacts, software all gone) and phone is working normally again... since it has done this i wanted to update to 'wm6.1 atom exec rom' just to be up-to-date and have synced it via activesync and have run "DSUU" but my phone just restarts and loads the current rom i have installed! and just repeats everytime i have tried (have tried atleast 50 times)
so my main question.. is my bootloader dead? i know my phones not bricked since its still working perfectly im just not able to upgrade my ROM but can still do everything else (such as browse through files, run programs, make calls)
and last of all.. can anybody please help?! as i am at the point running the phone over with my car!
and once again am sorry for the stupid question.. =/ and thanks for hearing me out!

what version of your bootloader now? MN2 or MN1? if still MN1 please read again the thread to update your bootloader to MN2 (since your device is ATOM EXEC).
and after done, please check when you run DSUU, see on the left bottom whether have a drop down box or not? if yes then choose "ALL"
hope this can help to solve your problem.
hey! thanks for the reply mate!
but im not sure i cant check the version of my bootloader...
wont let me get into it by pressing camera+SR or camera+off button..
just boots straight into the operating system.
and, as for the DSUU it just restarts the phone after i choose all, and goes through to the today screen on the phone, and as for the DSUU update its stays at the screen which shows "The current software is now being updated from your device."
followed by an error appearing after a few minutes showing " No download target was found!!" even though my atomexec is synced
which is then followed by the "connection error" screen.
please help.. this is seriously pissing me off...

try to downgrade again your bootloader to MN1 (please do it step by step). as long you can secure your bootloader, hopefully you can resolved your problem.
remember to upgrade again to MN2 once you able to downgrade to MN1 before try flashing to wm6.1.
good luck.
still cant access bootloader.. even when trying DSUU it just boots straight into the operating system, when trying to update and also i tried the MN1 bootloader again and tried to get into it... still nothing.. it just resets, i tried it with my 4GB mini sd, 2gb msd, and a 64mb mini sd.. could not get into it... sigh...
Ok try a deep breath and read all the posts on dead boatloaders and other upgrading problem posts through and through. Then try to change ur USB cable and what system are u using i.e XP or Vista????
thankyou kindly, for the suggestions i have been reading through alot of posts and tried alot but.. nothing so far.. i guess its not too bad since its stuck on windows mobile 6 with abusalzas rom..
im just annoyed i cannot upgrade to the latest 'rom' and since my phone 'had' to perform a hard reset why not update so yeh.. and i am using windows xp for my computers os.
Did u change the USB cable mate, once I had to do it and the interesting thing is that the same USB cable was working perfectly for other things but causing problems when connecting to my Atom Exec.
yeh tried it with my old v3 cable didnt work has the same outcomes.. sigh.. i might try that dead bootloader hardware and software recovery from this post by Alex_Beda & 1stMASTER

o2 atom bootloader
hello
my o2 atom bootloader screen mn1 dignostic manger screen remains after rom flashing .i tried flashig orginl rom and pedvit rom but bootloader screen comes again .not starting my mobile please help
I have just figured it out today and since many members in this forum have concerned about this issue, I'd like to share it all to you.
The goal in this tweak is to get in to Bootloader and Update by SD card
Here is the steps:
1. Use Hex Workshop to delete almost of the diskimage_Ver.nb0 file but remember to keep the first 12 byte. The optimum is to reduce from 60mb to 15 mb
2. Update normally
3. After finish, releash the battery and then press reset + camera simultaneously, and then put the battery back
4. Congrats, now u r in the bootloader mode, and continue to upgrade by SD
Hope it solve your problems.

thanks before
hey guys ...
there is the whole story
My friend's HD2 device was working in strange way, When restarting it gives a white screen and the HTC logo and freeze at this screen and then after a large number of re-starting it works, but when re-restart it again it return to the white screen
After a Hard Rest through the sound buttons the top and bottom were formatted but the device remain standing at the white screen after a Hard
the only solution to me was upgrade to new Rom and after read in the forum that This problem can be a lack of Compatibility between the Rom and the radio, but I think that the device had not been updated b4 by a lack of awareness of my friend, and then check the SPL version ,it was 1.42.000 (still locked) then try to ulock it by HSPL2_RUN as posted in some thread
it done right and the message "we hacked .." and enter boot-loader and checked it became 1.42.spl then I tried to upgrade by the following Rom:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_GCC_1.43.488.1_Radio_Sig ned_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
When updating the device whenit reached 9% did not complete the upgrade untill the upgrade process stopped by itself so I did restart the black screen appeared within a triangle inside the exclamation point.
now I started to be panic, and then search the net and found the advice from someone to use Task29 before the upgrade and when I run the program worked fine and after restarting the white screen returned with the HTC logo inside
I tried again to upgrade the same Rom and returned the same result ,searching again and found many advise to upgrade the SPL to version 2.0 which is recommended by most members
After the successful conversion of the SPL took off the device and swithched to boot loader to make sure the validity of conversion and the back of the version then after restating the white screen appeared and when I tried to reboot again the device turned off, I tried several times and did not work I said maybe the battery and when i connect the charger it did not ship and the orange led did not spark, tried the USB method but same result
I tried another charger and a another usb cord and it did not work and I check the battery by an electronics specialist, He assured that the battery is fully charged.
And now the device does not function at all, not even shaking when running and screen or charging
please guys i need ur argent assistance ...even a thought may help
Note: This is not the first time for me unlocking and flashing thin , my last devices was: JAM - k-jam - Jazjam - Omnia (current)

Hi,
Since you have enough experience in flashing custom ROM, I would suggest you the following ways:
1. Make sure battery is at least 50% and the battery pins are not bent
2. Format your micro sd card to fat 32
3. Find and download the CORRECT STOCK ROM. You can download it from htc website if your hd2 is non branded, or you can download it from your carriers website if your hd2 is a branded one. Make sure the downloaded file is not corrupt due to download process
4. Extract the downloaded file using 7 zip or winrar. Find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh Then, rename it to: leoimg.nbh then copy it to the root directory of your micro sd card
5. Go into boot loader and follow the onscreen instruction. If therenis no hardware issue, it should work.
Good luck ...
thanks m8 but I've checked the pins and changed the battery with fully charged one ..
but it's no boot loader mode ... its completely off
thanks 4 ur support
Not offering solution, just an observation,,,, hanging at HTC screen and only occasionally booting, plus flashing hanging at. 9% is a bad sign, sometimes associated with a stuck radio, and/or/caused by thermal issues.
Try chilling the phone with stock nbh ready to go on SD card, in sealed bag in fridge/freezer for a while, then try to SD flash.
If flashing starts, (white screen blue writing) keep an eye out for "rsa radio fail" or similar.
if the flash goes well, but then later the problem returns, it's pretty conclusively hardware.
thanks buddy for the advise but as I mentioned b4 ...
the device doesn't boot anymore ... and yeah it's Hardware bug I think.
best regards
