Froze boot screen don't want to brick it - G4

I have been going through the forums for a while and still not sure what to do...
8125 G4
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GMS 2.25.11
OS 10.0.0.10
I turned it off last night at 68% bat. I turned it on today and it is stuck on the Win 6.1 Diamond Edition splash screen. I have soft reset it many times. The on/off button doesn't work so I have to remove the bat. to shut it off. I did some reading and some say it could be the batt. needs a jump start. I am not sure about this because when plugged into the computer it takes a charge.. light starts out yellow, and later turns green..( i think that is charged)
I don't want to do a hardrest until I hear that is what I have to do.. I have seen others with problems close to mine and a hardrest failed. I am able to do the softrest holding the camera button to get the bootloader screen and would like to reload the rom ( if I have to) but I used SoftSPL to load the Diamond rom and not sure I can reload it without runing SoftSPL again.
I tried to follow the loading steps for using SoftSPL, but the program it tells me to use WST v4.22 and it doesn't see the Wizard. so... can someone tell me if I can use the bootloader screen to reflash my wizard or do I have to do something else..
Thank you
or any other steps to fix this problem
I also need to add that actsync will not connect.. it doesn't see the device...

OK so I could not wait... I did a hard reset and it is back up and running. All extra software has to be redone, but all is well.

Stuck after SoftSPL procedure

Hello there.
I´m really new but certanly i have read a lot on the forums. Still I have managed to mess everything once more.
I have a wizard love G4
ROM Version 2.26.10.2.wwe
Rom date 06/07/06
Radio 02.25.11
Protocol 4.1.13.12
ExtROM 2.26.10.105
Messed around with the splash screen from equinoxe and to make it work i needed to update the RUU from 2.00.1 that was on the installation files to RUU 2.5.2 that was extracted from an HTC.exe rom update download.
Finally it worked just fine.
Then, i decided to give it a go on the SoftSPL procedure in order to install the Black Diamond 2.0 touch rom on my phone so I placed the downloaded "Safe ROM" on the ROM folder. Started the application and everything was looking good. Then the RUU came up with the 2.00.1 version so I was a little worried, but then the so called white screen on the cell phone started but with a progress bar (how convenient)... I´m not sure if i was supposed to see the progress bar at all on the cell phone or just a full white screen.
Anyway, after 10 minutes give or take, the bar got to 100% and the pc software said Congratulations... but then the cell phone automatically restarted and inmediatelly it went to the bootloader three color screen.
I proceded with a hard reset before anything, right on the bootloader screen, (radio and voice buttons hold with reset button and then the send button accepting the restore to factory). Then the phone restarted but also in bootloader screen. So i decided to turn it off by holding the power button for a while. It did turn of, but this is where everything goes crazy... it does not turn on again... it even don´t show no led light when connecting the phone to the usb or the ac wall adapter...
This happened to me a few days ago using the shelltool with the same Black Diamond 2.0 Touch rom but probably i made a different mistake back then.
Anyway I removed the battery and the sim card and reinserted everything again, even tryed it out without the battery and direct connection.
When this happened to me the first time, I just leaved the phone without the battery all night and on the next day it turned on but on the bootloader so I drove it to our local unlocker that managed to re-install the wizard-love once again.
I´m wondering if anyone is having this same issues, or something similar.
Probably i should have ask first if the Black Diamond 2.0 was a safe g4 rom, which i´m not sure but won´t dare to try it again.
I had the same problem.
i'm afraid using the SoftSPL now :S
Try the TNT 5. I used soft spl to install tnt 5 from the wizard love rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328917
They have a touch version u can think about.
Yes!!!! I love it now!
I downloaded the last SoftSPF. Now it runs a little slower on the first checking part but then it turned the screen all white!!!! Beautiful scary little issue that fortunatelly equinoxe stated on the flashing instructions.
Then I went for the TNT 5.0 Professional with HTC Home Plug-in on my CID LOCKED QTEK-9100 (But that it´s actually looking exactly like a 8125 Cingular), and it did it!.
One question tough... I´m running windows vista on my personal computer so I flashed the cell phone on another computer at my office that has windows xp, but still inside the TNT 5.0 Professional installation pack there is a RUU that states Windows Vista Update Utility. I´m wondering if this would actually run under vista... If so, then I believe that you can make SoftSPF also run under vista by just changing the 2.exe file on the SoftSPF compilation with this Vista_ROMUpdateUtility.exe file on the TNT 5.0 Professional compilation release.
Anyone care to try?
Probably I will be trying to flash a new radio with this RUU Vista utility under vista, to see if it flashes... If it does, then i don´t see why you can´t run try it out under vista.
I´m attaching only the RUU for vista so you can put inside any nk.nbf with it to use it under vista.

Your screen should turn white, completely white... Not white with a progress bar. That is the RUU that you were seeing. Haret.exe cause the screen to crash and then it turns completely white. THIS IS NORMAL.
Try using this version: SoftSPL - RC1. Before I got a G3 and CID unlocked it, this version of SoftSPL worked for me time and time again.
Thank Dan.
Actually the new SoftSPL worked like a charm. The screen went blank as a crash, and 10 minutes later i was on a TNT 5.0 Professional Qtek.

hi
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?

Run PVtemp to recover...................................
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
Thank you dioxda2 and duato for your help

Did i brick my flippin phone?!?!

alright well im a noob but i thought i was roming correctly. i unlocked my phone and while i was in the tricolor screen i flashed dcd's 2.2.3 rom and now when the phone reboots its stuck on the yellow sprint screen even when i try doing a soft reset or removing the battery. it sounds pretty much like i bricked my phone but i wanted to consult you guys.
thanks
Install the Radio Rom as well
You need to install the Radio Rom as well.
where can i find the instructions to do so? i didnt notice any and last time i flashed the altel rom i didnt have this problem?
Posted for you assistance.
What bootloader? 2.10 or 2.40?
Make sure you go into activesync connection settings and disable use usb and activate activesync when phone connected.
If it's 2.10 then download 2.40 and upgrade.
Next do the upgrade to the new 3.27 radio.
Now put the phone into bootloader by pressing the power/camera/soft reset buttons and holding till tri-color screen shows up.
From here you are ready to install DCD's ROM.
Then if you want to use the MSVC find the .cab version or you can try the .exe too and install it. Then follow the instructions on my post to get the software working through your BT headset
i have already tried to activesync but since i cannot get to the home screen the phone will not sync. it is completely stuck on the 1st screen that apears on the phone when you do a soft reset (yellow screen with the sprint trademark across the screen). basically i need to figure out how to get my phone off that screen. any ideas??
Thoroughly Read Posts..
1. Go to Active Sync on your computer and open it.
2. Go to File > Connection Setting: Uncheck "Allow USB Connections"
3. Hold the camera and power buttons and reset the phone while holding these. This will take you to the bootloader screen.
Do you have both DCD 2.2.x and the 3.27 Radio?
You're installing 2 files when using DCD's Rom. It sounds like you have the Rom installed, but lack the radio. On to step 4.
4. Connect your phone once it's at the bootloader ( R/B/G screen) You'll see it change from Serial to USB.
5. Run 3.27.00.exe
6. Reset Phone

Problem with G4 Wizard

ok I did the soft spl method and flashed the WizFlo Latest went to 100% and soft reseted then went to the Windows Mobile Wiz Flo Screen and said tap here to setup your device i tapped it went to the align screen page and then locked up. I took out the battery and turned it back on this time it locked up on the tap here to setup your device screen. I did a hard reset and it locked again at the align screen. Now it locks on the tap here to setup your device screen and even hard reset wont work. I also have tried holding down the camera button to get into the boot loader but it does nothing? any ideas?
Update:
ok i finally got it to hard reset again but it still doesnt help anything. also the camera button being held down does nothing for me?
Update 2:
Ok I finally got into the bootloader screen and it shows USB in the bottom left but the RUU is unable to make a connection?
Update 3:
Ok I got it working. Not sure how but I just rebooted the XP machine and disabled the USB in activesynce (Also used a different battery) and Viola it loaded the original Tmobile Rom. Now Im just afraid if i try to do the Wiz Flo again it will do the same thing any thoughts should i install the Wizard Love rom first?
Thanks peeps.

It must have been a bad flash,nothing to get worried,sometimes,even SoftSPL doesn't load properely,it'll only work when the screen has gotten completely white and displays patched IPL/SPL.
Well,try to flash again,but if it still fails,you shud get the phone HardSPL instead of SoftSPL and upgrade to any wm6.1 rom.
Yea i tried it a second time and same thing. So i should do a hard spl then?
oh btw: it didnt show me a ipl/spl after loading softspl it simply wetn to a blank white screen and when it was updating the rom there was a progress bar on the computer but not on the phone still just a blank white screen.

Then, as Zabardast said, you should try HardSPL. It can be reversed, so if you need to flash back, you still can, so don't worry.
WizFlo is very nice. Using it right now...
ok ill give it a try thanks

[Q] Is my phone bricked??

Hey all, I am having trouble booting anything onto my HD2 everytime i boot the phone i get stuck on the (tri colour screen) "Hardspl" i think..
I am able to install original HTC roms and custom roms via USB and Serial but after i install them and it says installation complete when the phone restarts it just gets stuck on the "Hardspl" screen again??
Any help is appreciated thanks
Here are some images to help
http://img29.imageshack.us/g/dsc0007riq.jpg/
(UPDATED)
How do i remove hspl ive tried installing an offical rom from the SD card but i still boot into this screen ????
Try this........
Power off the phone (make sure your battery is over 50%)
Turn on while holding the vol. down button.
You should be at bootloader (three colour screen)
If you have HSPL installed you should see "cotulla" and "HSPL" on the bootloader somewhere.
If youve been flashing official roms though this may have uninstalled HSPL.
I couldnt get the screenshots you linked to...
You can attach image files using the "manage attachments" button down under the text entry area.. (i think)
Id suggest trying to flash a stock/official rom just now until you get up and running.
With the phone at bootloader you should see the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen....
Connect via USB and wait for "serial" to change to "USB", this could take a few minutes.......
When you see "usb" flash the ROM from your pc......
You should make sure that you have the correct ROM for your phone, go to the HTC site and pump in your serial number.
If you still have problems after this then post back here with any error messages you might get...
Hope that helps.....
Thanks for the reply, for the link you need to add (http ://) sorry i should have mentioned that
but i just finished doing what you told be and it finished installing. it had the HTC logo on phone with loading bar as on PC screen no errors :S but im still stuck on the tri colour screen
I originally had android booted onto this mobile but the 3G was not working so i tried installing the HTC wm 6.5 rom that I downloaded from the HTC website but it would not get out of the tri colour screen after i installed it.
So i though it may have been the hardspl its self so i updated the SLP from 2.05 to the 3.03 one im currently on but it does the same thing
Hmm ok...
So the flash finished all the wasy to 100% and there were no error messages..
then the phone rebooted and went to bootloader (3 colours)...??
Restarting the phone just keeps returning you to bootloader??
Try turning off then back on while holding down both volume buttons and see what happens.
Which model of HD2 do you have and which ROM did you flash??
Yes thats correct.
When i turn the device on wile holding vol up-down i get a grey screen to
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. press vol up to restore or press any other keys to cancel"
and im not sure what HTC HD2 i have..
Model: T8585 ?
I flashed the latest rom from the HTC website using the S/N
"RUU_Leo_S_HKCSL_WWE_3.14.831.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship"
Okay, get to that screen and press volume up to continue, this will perform a hard reset which is recommended after a flash, your device should then boot up, may take a few minutes as its the first time..........
ok, It finished in like less then 10sec but there was not skips did from 1% - 100% smoothly and says "Restore....Completed Press VolUp to boot"
So i pressed volume up and once again stuck on the tri colour screen
any more suggestions or is my phone dead?
Hmmm
Phones not bricked because 95% of the time if you can get to bootloader the problem can be fixed........
I have the feeling this is something obvious that Im not picking up on.
Chances are someone else will see this and point out the obvious but at the minute I cant think why it might be doing that......
You could try flashing the ROM from SD card.
Rename the file on your PC to "leoimg.nbh" and put it on a 2gb/4gb sd card, turn the phone off, put the card in, turn on and it should flash........
Like I said, i dont think your phone is dead, I think Im missing something obvious....
its weird because i can install roms, hardspl's and all that stuff it knows the phone is there and installs them but for some reason it never gets passes the hardspl stage.. on each boot.
it accually boots into the tri colour screen in a split second of turning the phone on
Its a longshot but is there any possibility that your volume down button is stuck in the pressed position.........
yeah i have installed off the SD card already. that took awhile but it says everything is ok and installsion has completed.
same problem though once i restart tri-coloured screen pops up.
Im afraid Im not sure about this one...........
I'll keep thinking and let you know if anything occurs to me.....
Im sure someone else will chip in at some point and point out the issue though.
alright no worries thanks for the help and time hopefully someone knows what the problem is.
Maybe if i uninstall the Hardspl? might totally wreck it and 100% brick my phone if it fails but I think its the only option ill have left soon
uninstalling hspl shouldnt cause any harm........
I didnt realise you had HSPL installed, I take it you instaled that after flashing the stock rom??
If you have HSPL installed......
Try to install a custom rom, ie an energy rom, just as an experiment........
dunno if youve seen the images yet conan, but unless its changed since, the OP has 3.03.0000
also, if he has magldr installed ( i didnt see it mentioned, but..) when you hard reset it takes just a few seconds, because it is only hard resetting magldr (at least thats my understanding, and would offer a reason why hard reset is so quick)
I suspect incorrect 3,14 flash, which didnt complete so its returning to bootloader,
so, OP, bootloader - hspl4 - 3.03.hspl - flash your 3.13 rom again, over usb.
ok thanks ill try that right now, also yes magldr was installed for android but i thought I got rid of it once i rebooted the offical HTC rom.
If this works im donating $20 to you right away no joke .. ive been trying to fix for 13hours straight

sd card flash, right?
Step 1 of the flash is the spl gets overwritten by the one in the leoing.nbh rom (3.03.0000 in this case) and then the phone reboots, and starts to flash , , splashscreen (where magldr is), radio, rom.
BUT, the phone wont allow the flash to start because hspl is now gone, so it fails CID checks and stops, so doesn't remove magldr, radio, rom, nothing, it just stops. Further attempts at flashing fail because you teh user haven't notived the spl change, you assume the whole flash failed, and that hspl is still there.
You shouldnt be able to get that far normaly, it would fail before it even starts, on a stock spl, except that hspl was there, so the flash was allowed to begin.
Ok, so its on SPL-3.03.HSPL now then I installed the latest HTC offical rom with USB but still no go
also if it is resetting magldr how come it doesent load up like it used to after a reset
