HTC S740 not booting/error screen - S740, S743 General

Hi
When I turn on my phone all it shows is red, green, blue and white stripes across the screen with the following text:
ROSE100
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Rose (LED) v10
MicroP-Rose (key) v5
PCBID 0x80
RID 0x0
At the bottom of the screen it also says "Serial", but displays no actual serial. Please see attached pic.
Please help guys. Problem initially started when phone collected dew on cold morning (camping).
Thanks!!!

You seem to be in the "flash screen".. I did that on my phone by accident, pressing power and one of the volume buttons.. Try pulling the battery out, put it back and see if it starts normally.

I have the exact same problem. Mine happened all of a sudden for no reason after turning my phone off and trying to turn it back on. Please post if you find a solution

Well, you can try to reflash your ROM. Many official ROMs can be found here.

Hi, I got the roms, but where can I read how to put the new one on my phone using my computer?

Ok, I got it I just run the .exe file to update my rom. However, there is just one problem, it says you should connect activesync to your phone. How tf do I connect activesync as my phone does not load any OS?! I tried without activesync but it doesnt work - it freezes on 0% update and after a while it runs some kind of recovery steps. So how do I get pass the activesync thing? Thanks

You can't upgrade ROM via activesync if u don't have acces to windows mobile, you can do it only from SD card.
Here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M7OEOF2N (pass: xda) you find a Rose service manual and at the page 45 you find "ROM Image upgrade thru SD card" ...it's not complicated, read carrefuly.

Ok I read it but when I press the power button for the second time it says "No image file". I renamed the file to RoseIMG.NBH. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know what are you doing wrong ...try to rename the file to "ROSEIMG.nbh". Where did you download the ROM? ...I recomend you to put the same ROM you have on device because you don't have installed HardSPL (and I don't know if you can install it from SD card). Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599520 are the officials roms for S740.
PS: I never tried this method on S740, I do it once on tytn II and works perfectly.

Here is how I got it to work:
Left it in the boot mode with the colorful screen until the battery is decharged enough, then tried to put it on again and it automatically turns off. So I put the USB cable in it and walla it started loading the battery and it turned on automatically and loaded WM. However, I still can not flush my ROM even through activesync.. but I am glad I can use it again.

something many forget with this fault, and I have seen quite a few is it is often not a rom issue but a hardware problem... in this case it may be a faulty up volume button, or maybe the plastic cap has shifted keeping the button held down, does the button still click ok?
The monet was a swine for the camera button giving up the ghost and doing nothing but dropping to boot loader......

Bad flash +search button broke!

I was trying to flash my G4 wizard with faria wm6 rom and it kept stopping at 99% and telling me to unplug usb and battery then re pluggin usb and hit next so that was gonna b a never ending circle so I searched Google and found RUU_Prodigy_2210206_22102109_021911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship
flashed that and worked. (should have left it and called it a day but i wanted to try wm6 so found a new version of shelltool_bugfixed_2 tried again. Within 3 mins there was an error on the pda screen but the flash told me not to touch anything so I left it 20 mins. Did "ctrl, alt, del" and the program was not responding so I closed it. Now when I turn the phone on it hangs on the t mobile splash screen with my IPL/SPL. I did the reset with the camera button held in I get the the boot screen/3 colour screen and when I plug in usb pc makes noise saying it found it but then I try flash using t mobile rom it gives me error 274 cant connect make sure usb is in.
I tried doing searches for "error 274" but don't return any finds which I thought was wrong so to test the search button I done a search for "G4" same again =(
sorry for such a long post.
K well I finally got the t mobile basic rom back on just kept pressing buttons on the phone while it was searching for it, not very technical I know! now should I try a 3rd time to get WM6? u know the saying "3rd time lucky!"

My tytn found a new way of dying - HELP!

Hi,
yes - I've read ALL the dead tytn posts and followed all Wiki options but not describe my situation.
I was having a perfectly stable Tytn for the past few weeks, didn't install anything, used it daily with no issues.
Yesterday I decided to reboot to clean the mem a bit (God knows why) and after the restart it simply came on with a blank screen.
The screen shows nothing and the backlight turns on but nothing.
I tried to put it in flash mode and yet the screen remains blank - nothing.
Took the battery out for an hour back in - dead screen.
Did a hard reset - still dead screen.
Tried a sd flash method - still nothing showed.
I even took it apart to check the cables - all in place nothing shows damage or issues or even dirt.
It doesn't show a thing no matter what I try,
ActiveSync is not connecting and all rom flashers fail to connect (error 260).
Tried mtty but didn't get the usb> prompt (just cmd>)
The wierd part is that it still recieves calls from time to time.
Did anyone face this or know of any solutions?
PLEASE HELP! This is so sad...

the cmd> prompt means its in bootloader.
question is... have you put Hard-SPL on this device.
Hi,
Thanks for replying.
Yes I did - I've put your outstanding hard-spl 2.10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722) on it and it worked great.
Can I use the CMD to somehow re-flash or do something else?
You think it's software related?

I have never seen this on Hermes...HELP!

Hi guys. I've been here for while and over the years i flashed my hermes with various cooked and original roms over and over again. However, today i tried to flash it with the josh Manila2D_Black_V14_WWE rom to see if i could let go my iphone 3g and get back to my good old htc. Here's the thing: USB=Plugged, ActiveSync Ok, HardSSPL, Unlock Sim, the works... When i clicked RUUWrapper.exe all the process turns out good and then, puff! My screen turns black, the Led doesnt work, cant get it reset or hard reset, pulled out the battery and back in, nothing! then i took the USB PC cable and put it on wall charger. The led shows RED, the screen is dead, nothing happens. It stood there for a while, then i tried to hard reset. Went to bootloader, "Press R", "Then Space" "ok", PUFF! nothing happens. Cant get it sync with my pc, wont boot with hard reset, screen's BLACK, now the led stays GREEN all the time when i replace the battery...Can anybody help me out?! If theres a sollution im sure i'll find it here. Thanks in advance!!!
If you have Hard SPL V3 on the hermes, try to go to bootloader, Hold power, OK button and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until you get to tri-colour screen.
If you can get to bootloader then use the sd method to flash a different rom.
1. Format an sd card to FAT32, copy the .nbh file onto the sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Put sd card into hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. Follow instructions.
cheers...
Still nothing...
Thanks for the reply Ultra Well i tried the Power+Ok+reset but nothing happens, the god damn green LED just stays on forever. However i can get to boot with power+the 2 quick buttons from the windows and ok. Can i get access to the SD Card from here? Havent been updated for quite a while, any particular rom you may suggest? Looking for stability, speed and cool home screen... I really apreciated your answer man, thanks
Finally the Cure!!!
It is only fitted that i respond here the cure i´ve found once again in XDA-Dev.com for another serious mind blowing problem with a Herm200. After days and hours spent reading the forum, testing some possibilities, finally the solution. Well it appears that with a SPL 2.30, that doesn´t bootloads by itself or with a SD Card; does NOT recharge the battery, no RED Led whatsoever... the simple official ROM solves the case. I entered Boot Load Mode with side ok+power and stylus reset, appearing USB Mode when i connected it to my PC, NOT showing the connection in ActiveSync, however the USB blip did in the PC. So i knew it was connected, plus the "USB" written in the Hermes. I´ve tested with almost every ROM available in the XDA-Dev, ran to 1% then, crashed. Then i managed to dowload the Official Windows Mobile 6.0 from DOPOD WWE. Fortunatly, it passed 1% to 100%, reviving my good old HTC Hermes. Hope this information helps for anyone with a similar problem.
Cheers!

[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

Stuck at boot screen - can't seem to fix. =/

I didn't want to have to start a new thread, but I'm at a loss for what else to do. =/
I've been flashing back and forth between Android and WP7 for several months now, without any problems, but now that I need to revert the phone back to stock WinMo 6.5, it's just not working. Any ROM I flash, the phone boots into the white screen with green "HTC" logo, then shows the lettering in the bottom corner detailing ROM and Radio and whatnot, then that's it. It just sits at that screen indefinitely.
I've got a UK-spec unlocked HD2.
In the tri-colour bootloader screen it currently shows:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x50
The ROM is the official HTC WWE ROM - RUU 3.14.405.2 with Radio 2.15.50.14.
I've tried Task29'ing my phone, flashing via USB, flashing via an 8GB FAT32 MicroSD card, and nothing seems to work, it always flashes, reboots, and then hangs at the white screen with green HTC logo and red lettering in the corner. I'm at a loss. I need the phone reverted to stock as I'm recycling it and they won't accept it with Android (obviously). =/
If I've missed something obvious, I'm really sorry - any and all help and/or scathing criticism is greatly appreciated.
Update - I just tried a custom ROM, using HSPL4 to change to SPL-2.08.HSPL, and it has the exact same problem. Flashes just fine, then hangs at the screen with the red lettering in the corner. What on earth is causing this? =/
Has anyone got any ideas? =[
Task29 only works with HSPL on your HD2.
Try to install SPL3.03 again by using HSPL4.
Have you tried to boot your HD2 without SD card inserted?
Have you tried to make a hard reset by removing the battery, waiting a few seconds, inserting the battery, pressing and holding the volume up and down buttons at the same time and pressing the power on button while holding the volume buttons?
By the way there are many threads with the same topic like yours with different solutions. Just use the search function with keywords "hd2 stuck white screen".

Yeah, I had 2.08.HSPL installed coming from my Android NAND ROM. I Task29'd the phone to clear out the NAND.
I've booted it without the SD card inserted, no difference. I've hard reset it (forgot to mention this in the original post =/) and it makes no difference.
And I've searched through the threads - there was nothing specific to my problem that I could find, hence my posting here. All the "Stuck at white screen" threads usually have had a problem with flashing the ROMs, or the radio hasn't installed, or they're stuck at the screen before the red lettering shows up in the bottom corner. =/
Everything about it suggests my phone should work - the ROM flashing never fails, the bootloader always shows that the ROM has installed correctly, and the white HTC screen confirms that ROM/Radio etc. have all been flashed. It just stays at the white screen with green HTC logo and the red lettering, it never moves beyond there. I've tried two stock ROMs, and a custom ROM. All have installed, all have frozen at the same point, the screen with the radio and ROM information in red lettering. =/
Maybe it's because of the combination of (H)SPL, RADIO AND ROM???
Have you tried to install WP7 or Android again, just for testing?
Sometimes, but seldomly, it seems there are leftovers from HSPL 1.66 or 2.08 altough bootloader shows SPL2.08 or 3.03 which are causing difficulties.
Try to install and remove HSPL2.08 by using HSPL2_RUN.exe before you start flashing a new ROM. Some useres in different threads reported to solve strange behavior be doing this procedure.
Good luck.
I just flashed magldr and a NAND ROM to it, both worked flawlessly, and it's now running Android as it always has, no issues.
I'll try flashing a WinMo ROM now, and see if it accepts it. If not, I'll try HSPL2_RUN and see if that helps anything. Thanks for your help =].

I tried installing and removing HSPL2.08 with HSPL2_RUN.exe. I then installed SPL1.66.0000, and flashed the WWE 1.66 ROM. It flashed fine, rebooted and... Nothing. It's still hanging at the white screen with green HTC logo and red information in the corner. I'm beyond confused as to what could be causing this. Everything about my phone is telling me the ROM has flashed. It's even charging while off, and the LED changes from orange to green when it's full. The Android NAND ROM I flashed confirmed this. *flummoxed*
That sounds really strange...
Last thing you can try:
- be sure to have SPL1.66 on your HD2 by using HSPL2_RUN.exe
- format you SD card by using SD Formatter and a card reader
- download latest STOCK ROM 3.14 again from HTC homepage by using your HD2's serial number
- extract the downloaded file by using 7-zip or something similar
- copy the ruu_signed.nbh file to your SD card by using a card reader
- rename the ruu_signed.nbh file on your SD card into LEOIMG.nbh
- remove your HD2's battery
- wait a few seconds
- insert battery and SD card
- press and hold volume down button and press power button while volume down button is pressed
- release the buttons when you HD2 is powering up
- follow the instructions given on the HD2's screen
One of my step by steps, but I believe you know how to flash ROMs with SD card method.
I just tried following your steps... nothing . Although, I did notice this time, flashing via SD card, that the update failed. It got part of the way through then stopped and changed to the black screen with the grey warning triangle. When I loaded back into the bootloader, it briefly showed "ROM upgrade error, please try again" and RUUNBH in the top corner, but it then proceeded to load the update from the sd card and install it. The update worked, I rebooted the phone, but again it stuck at the white background, with the green HTC logo and red lettering. Once again the red lettering and the bootloader are saying the flash was successful... but I've left the phone for half an hour and it doesn't progress beyond the white screen.
Is there any reason it failed, then flashed, says it's flashed, but isn't booting?
Sorry, but I have no answer to your question.
Sadly I have no further ideas how to reactivate your HD2 with WM6.
Maybe there is another guy having a solution.
