Is this Bricked? - Touch Pro CDMA

I wasn't holding down the Pwr Button whil trying to access the Bootloader. Its all good now!
XDA Gurus,
I have long been a supporter of this site and have flashed countless devices with untold numbers of ROMS for the last 3 years. I have finally hit a wall that I can't find an answer to on these forums regardless of how hard I search.
During an ActiveSync upgrade to a WinMo 6.5 Cooked rom on my Sprint Touch Pro, the power at my house went out due to lightining, and the Rom didn't install correctly. Now the phone will not boot or even enter the bootloader (which is my usual fail-safe for failed ROMS). Does this mean that my phone is now bricked or is there soemthing I can do to get this thing going again? I have tried the VOL Down+Reset and still can't enter the bootloader.
I had successfully installed the Hard SSPL .37 and was able to boot and connect to activesync again after that. I was also able to initiate the Cooked Rom install after that, but ever since the upgrade failed I can't get past the initial load screen.
PLEASE?! Any thoughts?! Willing to Donate if I can get this going again.

EDIT: NVM didnt bother reading his edit oops. but for the future. Here is a link to flashing via SD card method.

i would enter bootloader screen again and flash back to a stocked sprint rom. then flash your rom of choice.

So was following directions to upgrade to nuerom, and i accidently installed the old bootloader 1.2 (olipro), and so i then upgraded the ROM afterwards to the nuerom.

put it in bootloader mode first...hold down "Power Button" + "Camera Button" & press the "Reset Button" with stylus, and then try it...plus u dont have to be connected w/ activesync
no active sync
If you cant connect to active sync, open active sync on home pc go to conections and uncheck usb connection that helped me last night

*please be cautious i'm new but i know my stuff*
your going to have to format the micoSD card to FAT32 with a MicroSD card reader or some type of MicroSD to SD converter(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroSD)
(goto my computer/ right click the drive it was assigned to and click format... then under "file system" click on FAT32 then click format)
Download the rom update from HTC
Open the exe in WinRAR (rarlabs.com)
Find RUU_signed.nbh (it will be the biggest file)
extract it onto your desktop and rename it to TITAIMG.nbh
Move the file over to the formatted card and then insert it into phone.
Hold down "Power Button" + "Camera Button" & press the "Reset Button" with stylus
and done your phone should reconfigure back to how it would be "Virgin"

Trying to flash from sd card Still in loading mode help
It is in loading mode for a half in hour is that normal
i have never used the sd card...bit i believe its gotta write about 50+mb of stuff to ur fone...it takes about 10 mins over usb2.0 (it doesnt really go to that speed) so i guess it can take that long
please post how long it took if it goes successful for others to know...thanks
I'm having the same problem here.
I ran the relocker, but it still says SPL-1.20.Olipro... I don't know why it didn't relock... what should I do, the SD option didn't seem to work either...

i got it fixed...basically what you have to do is go into the bootloader like everyone said and then i reflashed it with the original rom...after that i learned that you have to run the radio in order to boot
it take 5-10 min its really fast... try it again or grab a different ROM
SD card Flashing wont work.
I Really Am stuck. Flashing did not seem to work left it in the downloading for over an hour, then gave up. (I was trying to update to DCD Titan 2.1.0, From Sprint 2.17.651.0, Radio Version 1.47.01 ORIGINALY gave me problem Stuck in htc black screen)
I wont connect activesync, or usb peroid, so I formatted SDcard to FAT32, put the Sprint 2.17.651.0.nbh file into the card renamed it TITAIMG.nbh, and tried to flash. (Loading screen for over an hour, then gave up)
Some else said somthing about flashin 3.16 because of radio issues.
(from going 2.17, to DCD 2.1.0) but I cant find 3.16.nbh. if anyone could Link me to it that would be cool.

When you go into bootloader mode (power/camera/reset), what bootloader version is displayed on the screen? When you upgraded to the DCD ROM, did you also flash the new radio?
Can I add my dilemma to this thread? My Mogul also won't boot up. It gets to the yellow Sprint logo screen and then just shuts right back off.
I also, hard reset and that doesn't help. I can get to the bootloader screen but trying the Relocker means it wants my phone connected via Activesync (it calls for that in the DOS window that pops up), Activesync doesn't recognize the connection since the phone is in BL mode. Nothing I've tried so far has worked and some people on howardforums have tried to help and said I needed to install the radio only first and then go from there but I have had some trouble finding the original Radio as a download by itself.
Any takers on how I might be able to get this bad boy up and running again?
PS. I've also tried to install the original ROM found on the official HTC website and that didn't work either.
I appreicate if anyone can help both of us (the guy who posted the thread, too) out.
try extracting the relocker and then flash it.
Thanks guys this thread really helped me

If this is directed towards me, I extracted the relocker but I don't know what you mean by "flash it"
I thought flashing the ROM meant reinstalling a previous version or something. I've already tried running the relocker but like I said it requires an activesync connection but that doesn't work since I can only access R/G/B mode.
All the files inside the relocker are gibberish to me. Don't know what any of those things do separately.

If you are in bootloader, try flashing the "unofficial leaked" ROM. NOT one of the custom ROMs based on it, but the complete leaked package; it includes compatible bootloader, radio, and ROM, and should get you back up and running. You should then be able to run the old relocker and the old official radio and ROM package if that is what you are trying to do.

xv6800 ActiveSync & ROM Flash Issue.

Hey, I just tried to install DCD's newest ROM and it looks as if i may of bricked my phone. When i connect it to my PC, Active Sync will not even pick it up. this happened right after i ran Hard-SPL-MFG to unlock the phone... I did try and run the titan_exitbl but no luck. I also attempted to run the relocker but i would not even run.. any ideas?
thanks!
recover from flash
Are you at the 3 color screen? If so you need to unplug the USB and replug it again as per the instructions. You MUST follow the instructions EXACTLY or your flashing will be very scary experience.
If you are not at the 3 color screen, you need to get back to the bootloader by pressing power+camera and soft reset. This will get you to the 3 color screen. Then have a look at the version of bootloader you have. If it doesnt say Olipro 1.20 or 2.40 you still have the locked bootloader and you can flash a stock carrier rom. If you have 2.40 you can flash to the 3.16+ rom and then flash the new radio this way or via sd card install which will be more painless and less scary.
If you dont know what an sd card flash is, I would search the forums here. Over at ppcgeeks you can look up imcokeman's posts and see instructions how to do a sd flash.
If you are are real noob, I would suggest staying with non gps roms at this stage because the change of radio rom needed to enable you to flash a gps rom will almost certainly lead to sleepless nights wondering if you have bricked your machine.
Most important thing to realise is that the machine is almost certainly not bricked. But you might have a few more scary moments before you get your machine back working again. You might also need to call your carriers service desk a number of times to get your provisioning data back working.
Check all the way through these two posts and dont sweat too much. With effort you will get your machine back. The answer to your problems is listed in one of these threads, but you need to dig a fair bit to find it. The posts contain lots of problems that people had flashing this rom, and I am sure your exact problem was there and solved. Its I believe somewhere in the second link I have listed here.
Good luck. i feel for you.

It doesn't need to active sync. Once it switches to USB you are ready to flash.
Stuck at Verizon Screen/HTC Mobilty Screen
If you are stuck at the VZW screen then you have only flashed one of the two essential parts. You need both (ROM and RADIO) to make it work. 3.16+ ROM will not work with the old radio. You need 3.27 radio.
Use the camera+power+soft reset and you can flash the one (new radio or new ROM) that you are missing.
See dcd's thread about the 2.3.2 rom. He has added a HUGE new disclaimer.

Well nothing really worked so i used a sd card to flash back to the stock verizon ROM, i then attempted it again and got it all working!!!

[Q] No bootloader after Task29

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
posting links enabled:
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

[Q] Completely restore stock T-Mobile ROM and everything?

I've been searching on how to completely restore my (T-Mobile) HD2 on this forum for a while and haven't came to it, so sorry if I'm repeating any threads.
Basically I'm fairly novice in flashing and things in that nature. I've been flashing updating Energy ROMs on my HD2 for about six months since I got the phone. Which was fairly simple to do. Since WP7 ROMs, I've switched over to flashing those. The problem is that 99%, it'll flash fine, then won't get past the boot screen. And on the rare occasion it does get past it, I can't turn it off, or else I'll have to trying getting past the screen 1000 more times to be successful. I think I have all the requirements to run WP7, but not exactly sure.
So I would like to know what to download and flash/ install for it to be as if I bought this from T-Mobile today.
Thanks!
I need help with this too..I craked my screen and am going to send it to t-Mobile so they can send me a new one, but I want to put it to factory reset. Ive looked all over cant find them...the post a couple up...links are dead
you do realize that if you cracked your screen your warranty is already void. it doesn't matter what software you are running at this point.

Sorry for MY late reply, but I put this phone away for a while and now my dad wants to use it. I've gone though the steps, but I can't get past "6. Hold the volume down key and power on your phone. As soon as the coloured screen changes to grey, RELEASE volume down." It never turns grey. I'm one step from taking this phone and throwing it out my window to see it shatter.

I have done a dozen of flashings on my Tmobile HD2 and works fine so far. Thanks to XDA forum all the tools I need are available right here on XDA !!! You just to search them out yourself (sorry I don't have the links ....... ).
I suppose you know how to flash your phone so I will not explain details how to do it.
In brief, to install WP7 this is what I suggest you should do -
1. Update flash radio to the latest available update from Tmobile US website, regardless of what ROM you have at present (version 2.15.50.14 is the latest, I think).
2. Flash HSPL 2.08 to your phone to maximize 576 RAM usage, if you have it (do not use SPL 2.08.000 as this will recognize only 448 RAM size).
2. Use Task29 to clean out the existing the existing ROM on your phone (this will erase your OS and you will only be booting on the white HTC logo screen). This will clear out those ROM leftovers on your phone.
3. Flash magdlr 1.12 or 1.13 on your phone (press power button on boot to show magdlr menu).
4. On magdlr menu scroll down to no.5 USB flasher, connect your phone to pc and run dwi.exe on your WP7 installer and wait till installation has completed.
I have done these procedures a dozen times already I have not encountered problems so far. I have been flashing and flashing to choose the best ROM (WP7 or WM6.5.x) I want. On personal note, I think I would settle for WM6.5.x cooked ROMs because of usability and handiness (I find WP7 too complicated to deal in terms of tweaks and handling of personal videos/photos file security).
Some notes:
a. You need to flash radio and HSPL only once.
b. Use Task29 every time you need to install a new ROM (your choice, but recommended).
c. After Task29 you can start out clean and flash to stock ROM or any other rom you choose.
d. There are dozens of videos on YouTube to help you flash but I have not seen one using Task29 to start the process of flashing.
This works for me, hope it does to you as well. Good luck !!!

[HEPL NEEDED] Can't enter bootloader manually, device works, + battery problem

Hello,
this will be a pretty extensive post, but I want to give you as much info as I can so you can help me
I got a second had EU HD2 with a stock bootloader, radio, rom, ect.
Bootloader: 1.42.0000
Rom: 1.66.479.2 (76641) WWE
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol: 15.32.50.07U
I read the forum for a couple of years now and I'm pretty familiar with all the procedures for flashing (I own a couple more htcs,
flashed in every possible way)
The problem is that the battery life is very poor: after a hard reset, so no previously installed apps, not using gps, BT, WiFi, or
anything (even phone in airplane mode), I get 6-7 hrs battery life. Even in standby the battery drains at almost the same rate.
SpoonCharge says -140ma - -150ma with no app or anything in airplane mode. I tried 2 more batteries known to go over 2 days with other
hd2s.
So, I decide the problem might be in the rom and go ahead to flash to a new one:
I chose the Artemis v.65 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612580
I read all the instructions and all other linked to them threads. Started flashing to the stock LEO-S 3.14 with the instructions here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8776196&postcount=26465
Flashed to SPL 1.66.0000, as said in step 2.
Tried to enter bootloader with VolDown and PowerOn, but it just starts the OS. From inside the OS I can enter bootloader with the EndKey
from johcos but ONLY that way! I tried another bootloader, 1.66HSPL, 2.08 SPL and HSPL, 3.03 SPL - nothing - I cant enter bootloader
manually - only through the EndKey with booted OS.
SO - why the hell??
I can go into bootloader through the EndKey, but I fear flashing because if something happens and the flashing doesn't go as expected I
wont be able to enter bootloader and fix things, no matter with USB sync or SD!
At one (brave) point I tried to flash the RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship from here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283 - but it got to 1% and displayed an error: "Update utility not compatible with
device" or something similar.
So, bottom line after this long read:
1. Why/How can't/can I get into bootloader manually?
2. Why at the first place the batt life is so poor with all processes around 0%?
Thank you for the time spent reading my story!
and
Thanks in advance for any help!
here's some "hepl"
1- post in the corect section. The general forum is for these questions you know. it's quite odd for someone who've read the forums for years to make such mistake.
2- Since it's a second hand device, god knows what the previous owner did to it.
3- Does the volume down hardware key work when WinMo is running?
4- Do you turn on the device while holding down the volume down key, or do you press it after it starts, or release it before it starts?
5- I'm pretty sure the artemis build you're trying to get needs SPL 3.03 which you can get here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11499585&postcount=3
6- try your device with SD removed. And make sure you haven't installed any program that runs in the background on the SD.
that's all I can help with
I'm very sorry for the wrong section. I was late and I was frustrated with many hours of struggling with the hd2. Please someone move it where it belongs.
@Dr.Move - thanks for trying to help!
I got it from a friend of mine and can assure I has handled well and it's never been to any kind of repair. It was never even flashed.
All keys work in WinMo.
I hold the VolDown key before pressing the PowerOn key. Tried also holding both keys together, holding VolDown and reseting with the reset button. Manual hard reset with VolUp and VolDown and PowerOn also doesn't work.
Artemis does need SPL3.03, but the flashing instructions say flashing SPL 1.66.0000, than stock 3.14-S which flashes to SPL 3.03.0000 and radio 2.15 .50.14, than Artemis. But that doesn't really matter right now, as it has nothing to do with me not being able to manually enter bootloader or hard reset.
Tried with SD in and out, formatted it (not quick) - all the same.
A thing I forgot to mention. My friend said the hard buttons didn't work, before I got the device. It happened a year ago, when we had no htc service in our country (Bulgaria) and the device had to be sent abroad, so he ditched it and got a new one. He couldn't remember what was wrong with the buttons, but it surely wasn't not being able to enter bootloader, as he doesn't even know what that is.
When I power up the device all the buttons worked and still work. (He was surprised and said "Well - good for you ).
So I'm starting to think the problem might be in the VolDown button, but the PowerOn obviously works. How can it be the buttons work in the OS and not before it boots up??
Ok, update.
I know what you're going to say, I did probably the dummest thing I could. I know now...
I did task 29, wiped the NAND. VolDown + PowerOn still doesnt work.
So empty nand and cant enter bootloader.
Is there anything I can try, what can be the reason the VolDown doesn't work (the button itself DID work in WinMo).
Can something be done or i got myself a shiny black brick?
damn
Sorry for that bro, I think you should move to the general forum now and ask there.
make sure you state your problem in the title clearly, much like you did here.
I'm sorry I can't help you any further as I'm not a developer/electrician. but seems I don't need to tell you that you shouldn't have done that before making sure the buttons worked.
