Htc touch dual won't start... PLEASE, I AM DESPERATE - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hi guys, could someone please help me??
When I turn on my nike it just freezes at the operators screen and nothing happens. Hard reset many times already and still the problem.
The problem is that it doesn't boot and the computer doesn't recognize it when I plug to the USB cable either..
Really don't know what to do..
Is that a way that I could access the bios?
PLEASE.... Its much appreciated

Try inserting the stylus into the hard reset hole next to the charging port at a 45 degree angle, then push forward. afterwards you should go through the hard reset prompts.

Download original rom, remove battery, press camerabutton and powerbutton at the same time, now your in bootloader, flash original rom.
Succes

Does anyone have the original ROM for the HTC Touch Dual? I tried downloading it from the HTC website but I keep getting the response that the download is not for my device.
Alternatively, what are my options? Is there any other ROM I can load onto my device? Thanks.

Help Needed, Missing bootloader after flashing problem

Hi, i'm using a rw6828 and tried flashing with a rom from wantat but i forgotten to delete the EBOOT.nb0 before i clicked "upgrade". Then the program stopped at 6% for a long time and didnt move. I disconnect the cables and tried to turn the device on.
THe device can go into the wm6 and the start button can be use but the screen is "moved" to the right side and other function is not working.
After that, i did a hard reset and the the os seem to work like normal. However, when i tried to go into bootloader mode to reflash the rom again, the bootloader screen doesn't seem to appear.
Is there anyone here that can help me? Thank you.

Please try to searching before post new thread. Do u search about dead bootloader, try here
Thank you abusalza for the direction. I'm sorry i didnt use the search function to look up about dead bootloader. I'm actually not sure if it is a dead bootloader thats why i didnt look up in the forums for a specific problem.
Thank you so much for the link and i've discovered something new. I tried using the camera button + soft reset method and what it seems that i might have entered bootloader. But i have no idea what to do next.
Mod please close this. I've posted a new topic with an updated scenario of my problem under the upgrading section. Thanks again abusalza.

Blank bootloader...am I screwed?

I have searched and searched these forums and have seen several other people with this problem but no solution. I have also looked through the wiki to no avail, so if someone can give me an answer I would really appreciate it.
I have been able to get into the bootloader screen (the r-g-b white stripes) however there is NO text (no serial, no usb) on the screen and it is not recognized by any pc. Can't get any response from mtty.exe because it can't see the USB port. Have tried on multiple PC's...
Is there another way to resurrect this athena or is it DOA?
Thanks,
-Alex-

Did you try reflash by SDcard?

Yes...no joy.
Just stays on the tri-color screen with no indication that it is reading the card.
Thanks for the advice though!
Did you try resetting - camera button and reset button on the back (I think...) pressed together.
Forum search will tell you exactly...

Yes, tried the hard reset (camera + reset) the alternate reset (comm + camera + reset) and even the other reset (volume slider + camera + reset). And yes, I was pushing down firmly on the camera button.
Each reset brings me to the tri-color bootloader screen with NO text. No model number, no OS version, no "USB" / "Serial"....just the red-gree-blue-white stripes.
I have looked extensively at all the forums, used the google search for the site and combed the wiki with no luck.
So do you think it is a lost case?

Hello,
sorry for what's happening to you. Can you tell what led to this situation ? Were you trying to unlock your phone or just flashing a new rom ?

I was trying to load a new ROM but I assumed that I had to use the OliPro unlock first.
Got to the radio flash and that is where it crapped out.
Now that I have read a little more carefully it looks like I don't need to use the OliPro beyond the first step for the stateside unlocked 7501.
Thanks,

when your on bootloader ? does windows detect a usb generic device ?
Nope. Tried 3 different PCs. Shut down all the activesync processes. No luck. No detection that anything is cabled to the advantage.
I am thinking that it is warranty time.
Damn, I hate this....its just the principle of the thing...

Key rule to remember is to always make sure the Advantage is Fully charged. Try charinging it and reflashing it with the factory rom, located here. http://www.america.htc.com/download/RUU_Athena_HTC_US_2.19.453.4_105_1.47.51.00_Ship.exe. Keep us posted and let us know how it went
have you removed the sim and memory card
just checking basics
try that with a full charge and then enter bootloader and connect to usb
Thanks for all the help! I gave up and warrantied a new unit where I WAS successful in loading a new ROM.
I have learned several valuable lessons in the ROM upgrade process. This was on an advantage 7501, unlocked, USA version. I did the upgrade the process with the OliPro 3.0 unlocker, the PK Rom 3.0 and vista pro (32bit):
- Make sure that you have NOT customized your athena/advantage beyond the basic calibration and cut/paste walkthrough.
-Download ONLY THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THE OLIPRO UNLOCKER. CHECK TWICE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE LATEST.
-You MUST let step one of the Unlock complete. With the latest version this will make a bricked Advantage practically impossible.
-Go through step 2 & 3 even if you don't think you need this. It will upgrade the radio and give you peace of mind if you are updating to the PK rom.
-Don't panic if you complete step 1 and goof step 2/3. You can recover. But if you screw up the initial SPL unlock in step1...it is not going to be pretty.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for everyones advice!

Pls..My Atom Need HeLP !!

JusT Bought another atom.used.Tried flashing 6.1 atom's latest rom.By following the flash procedure.After the flash complete.i pull out the usb cable.wanna configure the sylus,but the screen don't respond.(Hang)so i tried hardreset.It stays at the black screen & me waited for nearly an hour.So i take it out the battery.(The battery i've just bought previously for the white atom) It automatically goes to bOOtloader without me pressing anything.So i flash the atoms original rom.it stays to 1% & my atom screen is blank.me Waited for 20mins.So i pull out the usb,take it out the battery & wait about a minute.Reinsert back the battery.Goes the same,enter bootloader without me pressing anything.I've been trying many times.I'm really stressed out..Could anyone help me settle out this problem.Sorry me causing everybody alot of problems.Thanks reply. Thanks in advance.Really appreciate your help.
Hm... it seems like the OS of device was destroyed, you said that you tried flashing your device to original rom, did you use RUU to flash it? It involved USB cable so I think you use RUU to flash it, did you try using your mini SD card to flash it back? If not, try using your mini SD card (less than 1GB)
I'm sorry, I forgot to post the link, here is the link showing how to flash your device using Mini SD card http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_SDCARD
Good luck man
I've tried your ways,nothing change.Is still the same.Is there any other ways.I'm really confused.Pls help me settle this problem.Thanks in advance..

You tried flashing your device with mini SD? What were the screen showed up? Can you tell me a bit more? It's still the same? Was the file diskimg.nb0 loaded? Flashing your device by mini SD card will exclude the problem of USB cable or USB ports. Remember to charge your battery to at least 60% before flashing by mini SD card. That's the most I can help. If it was still the same as flashing by USB cable, then there's no other way but bringing it to your distributer for maintainance, I'm sorry, can't help you much
i've tried for 3 days.StiLL the same insert the battery,it will automatically goes to bootloader without pressing any button.When i tried the sd flashing with my 512mb.Nothing different.it stay at the bootloader.What can i do with this phone?anybody can help me to settle this problem.Anything i can do to make this phone work.Not to send to service centre.I appreciate yr help RONALDO.Thanks.

hello, try to put it into bootloader and then try to flash a different rom, might b a dump question, but you have installed hard spl?
lupe
yes i have installed the HARDSPL ,but i dont know how to go bootloader,
when i press enter,vol down and reset it comes to a 3-4 color screen but immediately jumps to a white screen and asks me to reset all data (vol up) or cancel (vol down)
btw, i've put a rom on my sd card but nothing happend !
oh man.. pff
maybe you have to rename this rom to RAPHIMG.nbh
Volume down and reset (without the enter) will get you into Bootloader screen. From there is should pick up the ROM on the SD card and ask you if you want to flash.
thnx for the tips bro's.
i did as you said (vol down and reset without enter)
and it asked me to load the image by pushing the enter button and i did.
now its about 15-20min that im waiting and still is on the 3color screen and nothing moves or comes or goes...
is it normal?
finally done. back to normal
oh im so happy , thnx for the help.

glad to here its working again. could you please post exactly what you did as others might find themselves in this same spot, if they know what you did to fix it, it will save them time and also keep them from having to start a new thread.
thanks
Lupe
ya my problem was as i mentiond before i installed a CDMA version(USA VERSION locked on a carrier i think) , because the roms that were cooked are amazing,beautiful and dynamic ... but i didnt know that its not compatible with a normal TP and my phone after installation hanged just on the BIOS screen...nothing goes,nothing comes...i thought i've bricked my phone !
but after your advises i put one of the GSM roms on the SD card and changed the name of ruu_signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh and VOL DOWN + SOFT RESEST to go to the bootloader menu,followed the instructions and finally fixed the problem and installed the right version.
but one thing that i DONT understand is why these beautiful roms are ONLY for CDMA version and not compatible with normal TP's???
thnx for the sharing of your experience with others

[Q] HD2 Bricked??? after task29

hello folks,
first off thanks to all the people who help make this forum better and better.
have used you're help a few times especially trying to flash a rom. but now there's a problem... I've installed artemis Rom a couple of times but I wanted the newest so I've downloaded it, flashed my hd2 with task29 like always. pressed vol. down button it restarted until white boot screen. ok, possible, so I reset it and press vol. down again. but still white boot screen. after trying it for 70(!) times. I used the forum. saw that maybe hooking it up to pc and starting custom rom .exe should work. but no. wont even start when hooked to a computer. so please help!
Info:
Cotulla hspl 1.42.00
Task29 by dooloop performed( got stuck after that)
Rom Artemis. 31.5 (current) 35.1 (wanted to install.
Thanks In Advance
Maajelvv
Two possibility's;
Tray to do a hard reset,
Ore tray to install Stock Rom!
tried hard reset. (pulled out battery waited 20 sec. then put it back in. pressed vol. down and power button.) didn't work for 30 times...
have put leoimg.nbh on sd card. but can't get to the tri-colour bootloader so can't install anything...
Thanks for you quick response by the way.
If I get into bootloader there should be no problem but I can't get there :S
I'm out off Idea; tray to send Sir Sternas a PM with your question, maybe he get some Ideas; ore tray to ask this question on the Artemis Thread, there are also helpful peoples out there!
Edit; I just add your question on the Artemis thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8450678#post8450678
you haven't made hard reset. if you wont to do hard reset you have to press both volume buttons and then pres power buton ( or press red button near batery ).
also try to make a goldimage ( search the forum ).

As Luka1111 said, you haven't done a hard reset. Check this out:

Dmm;
That I didn't see/read it correctly the way he did a hard reset??
I think it is HSPL 1.42 or an old RADIO-ROM.
System specs for Artemis are SPL 1.66 or above and RADIO 2.07.51.22_2 or above.
Install newest Stock ROM with the mentioned versions or flash HSPL and RADIO manually.
Best regards

Sorry, have not read you can't access tricolor bootloader. Have you tried without SIM and SD? If not try to flash HSPL and RADIO without SIM and SD.

What´s the size of your SD-Card? Flashing from SD works only with max. 8 GB - Card, 16 GB or more won´t work! (Own experience!)
Can you connect your device to ActiveSync? Or otherwise stated: What happens when you connect your device to your PC? Does ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center even startup?
BTW, what happens when you start your device now? Does it hang or just load your old Artemis version??

Hi Uli,
the poor man cannot enter bootloader mode and, as I understand from his posts, not connect to his PC. So how can he flash HSPL and/or Radio? There must be something fundamentally wrong with his device, but I also had a similar problem a few weeks ago and, although it took a lot of time, I managed to get it to work again.
BTW, as I already mentioned SPL 1.42 is not the problem.

Hey Kuzibri, You are absoluteley right. I get no connection true active sync or anything. I'm pretty sure there's something really wrong here. never had this problem before. btw I've mistaken with
my spl version. it's the one Sir Sternas recommended. Spl 1.66 HSPL.
I'm Really confused right now. and Pissed off at the same time...
I mean I loved my HD2 with Artemis Rom close to beeing perfect.( installed Igo8 witch right before I went on holliday, stopped working but mannaged to get TomTom navi to work ) then suddenly my answer button stopped working. so I figured let's install a new Version of Artemis rom. I backed up all my files using microsoft my phone. then used task29. done. So I tried to get to the bootloader.... Nothing. tried attatching it to the pc and hoping it would start if I pressed the custom rom .exe (Read somewhere id might work) Nothing not even a blank screen for startup. now I've got nothing else I can think of. please, U guys have given me so much good suggestions.
Thank you all for your time and your efforts to help me solve this issue.

Hey guys,
maybe you haven't read my whole posting: Have you tried to get access to tricolor bootloader without pluged in SIM and SD?
If you had trouble with your answer button before flashing, is it possible your volume button is also without function? Therefore it seems to be a hardware problem.
Sorry, if this is not the answer you would like to read, but the advise to test without pluged in SIM and SD is my last. Entering bootloader is a basic system feature, as far as I know.
Best regards,
Uli

Hey Uli,
I've tried both. with and without sim or SD cards. still no functioning....
I've thought about the fact that it might be broken but it worked right before flashing....
thanks for your efforts though..
Maajelvv
As I already mentioned, this poor guy has a major problem with his device, which seems to be hardware related (either volume down button does not work or the on/off key). After having extensive contact with him by phone, the only solution seems to be to bring it back to the store to let it repair. Unfortunately, he will have a great chance to loose his warranty, because HTC probably will be able to found that there is another ROM installed. Whish Maarten good luck with his problem!! Also very sorry I could not help you to solve your problem. I'm personally very disappointed by that!
regards, Kuzibri
