hey guys, i've just tried to Hard SPL my Touch Pro Sprint, and i thought it just need that to upgrade ROM, so i try the new ROM at my pdaviet.net forum, and guess what, i didn't unlock the phone at all, so when i finished upgrading the ROM, my TP just boot to "Touch Pro" screen (the first flash screen) and it freezes, even the small red line of information don't show up, i've tried to up the ROM again and again lately, but still no luck, anyone has any idea? i'm so upset about this, all my money has gone for this phone, is it dead, do i have to change the flash (it is so expensive to do that )
you must enter the bootloader screen.
here's how:
press and hold the volume down+the power button on top of your touch pro, then with them two pressed down insert the stylus into the reset hole. now with all three of those pressed down wait untill the tri-color (bootloader) screen comes up then release all the buttons. from here you can plug your phone to your pc and reflash. i would flash to a stocked sprint rom first then try a diffeent rom. let me know if this helped.

just cooked a rom, installed it, and now it is stuck on the touch pro startup screen and will not boot. I tried hitting the buttons to go to boitloader and install a rom but the computer can't find the phone since activesync isn't being used on the phone, and I tried hard resetting using buttons on phone and it works but it still hangs on starup screen no matter how many hard resets. help someone!
Flash back
When this occurs it was a bad flash (from my experience). What you need to do is:
1. Flash back to the stock rom, once there,
2. Hard reset your phone (always wise). Once this is done,
3. Flash away my friend, flash away.
If you dont know how to get your phone to bootloader mode, softreset and press the power key, vol down, and center button and you will be in bootloader, connect your usb and you know the rest.
Hope this helps.
Go here to learn how to flash from your SD card. This will get you past the cycle you are dealing with.

Make sure you are using the proper ROM for your phone:
CDMA for CDMA phones
GSM for GSM phones.
This is my first post, so hy guys...... (i hope ive posted it on the wright location)
when i'm pressing the Turn on button it comes only the green "HTC" logo in the middle Without the system information in the left bottom i've to be onest im getting scared cause ive tried a lot of hard reset and nothing happens....
another problem is that i cant connect it at the pc because the connection by usb dont work.....what can i do?????
you're device is stuck just before flashing a rom (that happens when you perform task29 for instance)
Quote: "If you get a white screen with "hTC" in the middle then you need to take out your battery and enter bootloader mode manually before continuing (take battery out and put it back in, then hold the volume down button and briefly press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button until the bootloader screen appears)"
after that you can flash your device with any rom
Good Luck
get into bootloader mode and then flash a newer radio ROM. solved the problem for me.
p.s. read thoroughly about the correct radio for ur phone before flashing one

After task 29 you have to flash a ROM. Task 29 wipes your device so if you don't hold down the volume down key at the end of task 29 it will not have any operating system. Just remove the battery and hold down the volume down key till you see the bootloader screen. Then flash your ROM and all is ok.
after task29,when your device reboot
press botton "volume down" and will go in bootloader mode
now if you have your device stuck in white screen,remove battery cover
press red botton for softrest and press "Volume down" botton

It won't because you're in the bootloader. Does it say USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen? As long as it says USB when the phone is plugged into your computer, flash a ROM and be happy
Hello!
And what if my hd2 not entering into the boot loader?
Thanx in advance
There is only one way to get into the bootloader.
Hold down volume and keep it down....
After that press the start button and your phone will boot up.
Now you will see the tree colored screen and you're in the bootloader.
Goodluck.

When you are in the bootloader screen, connect the phone to the computer /with the usb cable/ on the same bootloader screen it will change to USB - look at the bottom of the screen:
Open the folder - on your computer - where the ROM you want to flash is:
find the "RomUpdate*.exe" or "Install.exe" /if Android it will most likely say "DAF.exe" - run it as Administrator/ file and run it. Do as it says on the screen.
Do not disconnect the cable, do not touch the device. When it is finnished it will restart the device, disconnect the cable and enjoy your new OS.

use a <4gb or preferably <2gb sd card - class 4 or 2 with LEOIMG.nbh.
HSPL3_pkg after that - make sure .nbh (as above on sd root) is your stock and you CLEAN-reinstall bootloader.
ps:
Then hspl, then radio, then magldr, then windows 7, the hacks, then call M$= LIVE!
Hi guys i have a similar problem. After task 29 i went into the bootloader but can't install any rom whatsoever. I have SPL 3.03 on my devide, mind no not hard spl but SPL.

There is a guide on How to get back from WP7 here on the forum.
First i would sugest to reformat the card from WP7 bul...
If i understand correctly, you can't get into bootloader or magldr!?
So you can't do nothing?
You can try this sollution and if it doesn't work, go to the service center to reset it totaly.
There was a guy with the same problem here:

Try, taking out the battery for 10 seconds or so then put it in while holding the volume down key and powering up.
Got stock ROM back in first time but kiss goodbye to the data on your SD card. I had to use a Canon camera to reformat the card to get back the 14GB it was hiding.
This WORKED. Thanks a TON splinters69.
For future uses, this is what I did.
1. Took out the battery for about 30 seconds.
2. Put one of the LEOIMG.NBH on storage card
3. After putting the battery held the volume down button and pressed power button.
4. It went into HSPL mode straight away and started loading the win 6.5 OS.
You saved the day Splinters69. Thanks to Clydeb1 too for that modelIDcheckbypass.

Man, did you say blackstone? You should go into Blackstone forum
To go into bootloader, turn off the phone. Press volume down button and the POWER ON button (not start button) at the same time until the screen appear. It works on both Leo and Black Stone
Goodluck
This happened this moring for no apparent reason, i moved a file for a game to be installed (final fantasy iv) in the android/oob folder and rebooted, and it never fully did.
Im stuck on the HTC logo forever.
At 1st i said to myself, lets go to hboot and make a factory reset, so i pressed volume - and power, and when i did, instead of restoring the device (wich was unlocked and rooted) it went back to the neverending htc logo, and it does the same for the recovery and the erase everything one, so from that point i tried installing a few firmwares from my carrier which is videotron, and it alway failed either because the signature is not compatible or simply because the device is not detected... it seems to get worst try by try...
I also tried to install from the sd card, adb or Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V5.1 and 4.0.
Nothing works, please help me.
I just bought this phone used a month ago, and i loved it, and its unfair for it to die for no serious reason.
Are you able to access bootloader?

If it went to the HTC logo, you probably accidentally bypassed the recovery.
Turn the phone off, remove battery wait 10 seconds, install battery, wait 10 seconds, hold the volume DOWN button, while holding the volume DOWN button, press and release the power button. Keep holding the volume DOWN button until the bootloader screen appears, and then release it.
See what you can do with that.
If it doesn't help, find the RUU for your carrier--there's a list of RUU's in General section, "They're all here now" thread, and find the instructions for properly renaming it and placing it where it needs to go to have it install.
Dear Sir/Mdm,
This is Linn Myanmar and I am from Myanmar, Stayed in Singapore, working as an engineer.
I just bought my phone (Elephone S8) one week before and I tired rooting with tutorials from XDA forum (using flash tool, driver).
Yes, the phone has been rooted properly as root checker said and I tried installing Updated SuperSU from setting>About Phone>System Update>Local Updates>Updated SuperSU.zip.
After that the phone has rebooting with logo and never show any result and the phone just happened the screen on and off repeatedly until now.
So that please help me how to solve this and get back to its normal operation. I've tried long pressing on power button, long pressing on power button+volume up button, long pressing on power button+volume up button+volume down button quite many time, but those doesn't work and the phone hasn't come back it's normal operation.
Help me please.
With Best Regards,
Linn Myanmar

Hi Linn
How did you solve your problem?
Hi have exactly the same problem at this moment and, as you, I tried everything (except the hammer but it was close...)
Really need a solution for this!
I like the phone but this way I have to buy another one and other brand for sure...
Thanks (from Portugal)
I suppose you both solved this, one war or other, but maybe someone else looks for a solution to this.
As the S8 is a MTK-phone, it's never really "dead" until it's defective. You can always revive it. So stay cool.
All you need is a Windows-PC with working VCOM-drivers, the SP-Flash-Tool and a ROM. You can get all that on www.elephone.hk/downloads (at least until today... if it's no longer there, you need to google for all that).
The problem is to shut the phone off.
Of course you can just let it boot-loop until the battery is empty, if you can take the time.
Otherwise there's no simple and foolproof way to shut it off if it's in loop.
Try everything you can imagine with the three buttons. Especially pressing the power-button for "ages". Try pressing any volume-button simultaneously, too. I had my S8 bricked to bootloop several times yesterday and today, while fiddling around with all ROMs I could find.
Sooner or later I got the phone to shut off. I somehow got it into the testing-menu, too, which is yellow and chinese and which won't help you.
I even somehow managed to boot into recovery several times, which offers "shutdown"-option. I have the impression that the S8 enters recovery eventually when it fails to boot often enough, but that's just a guess.
Anyway, once the phone is off, you have won.
Start the SP-Flash-Tool, load the scatter-file from your desired ROM (which is probably 20171018), unplug the phone, press "download", and then plug the phone to USB. You might have to press vol+ oder vol- while plugging it in, but if it's recognized, the SP Flash Tool will start flashing the ROM and your phone is up and running again.
Problem solved
I think this is too complex anyway.
The battery was empty after some days.
It was too bad lose so many information but I had to live with that.
So, finally the hammer solve the problem in less then a second...
Thank you very much. Is nice to know there are people helping to solve some problems.

Please also find all required files for rooting the Elephone S8 at:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/k1ldc..._root.rar/file
I hope this helps.
To turn phone off, hold all 3 buttons for about 15 seconds the phone will look like it's powering down but then restart after about 2 seconds just KEEP holding all 3 buttons and it will power off properly. In other words hold all 3 buttons for about 45 secs to power down if in a boot loop. Once powered down hold volume down whilst plugging into USB to flash.
