Obviously I'm a n00b I just got my 8525 yesterday, right away I upgraded to WM6 went all day today with it working fine, I installed a PockMSN and Windows Live anyways to keep it short I FIGURED I WOULD just RE-INSTALL Windows Mobile 6 to get a fresh phone (didnt know hard reset did the same) Actually it was the 3rd time I flashed the OS and RE-UPGRADED to WM6 to get a fresh phone!!!!
~heres the trouble~
In the middle of the reinstalling WM6 I accidentally reset my computer, didnt realize it right away and, got ERROR 260 I believe, anyways I followed the directions, took out the battery and reset, plugged the USB back and RAN the Offical WM6 Rom of HTC site again and it keeps getting stuck EVERYTIME at 11%, I have tried it like 10 times and it gets stuck at 11%, and I get the same ERROR. Says Communication error 260. I have tried everything I know reset the computer, changed USB cords, and Nothing, everytime it gets stuck at 11%!!!!!!
Any Ideas about how to get my 2 day old Hermes back??
(I know i did a n00bish thing and I am sorry)
same place everytime!!
I tried to reinstall Active Sync, changed USB cables, switched USB ports, nothing!! I keep getting ERROR 262 (thought it was 260 at 1st) and wont get past 11% says no connection. I do notice everytime i try this process, Active Sync isnt connected, but the Hermes is connected to the computer! Cause if it cant read the hermes it wouldnt be able to even start the update process. But 11% everytime its stops

Perhaps you could try to flash using the sdcard method. So you would not be connected to a pc anymore. Who knows, it could solve your problem. I know one case where installing an official rom cured also a similar problem.
Quick summary of the sdcard method:
Use an empty sdcard formatted in FAT32
Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh file containing the OS to the card and rename it: hermimg.nbh
Enter bootloader mode (OK + POWER + Softreset). Normally, after the 3colors screen, you will get "Loading" followed by a description of what is on the card.
When ready, press power and... wait...
Good luck (The phone is NOT connected to the pc)
sounds good but I dont have a MicroSD card reader to do that. And I am using an Offical HTC WM6 ROM, thats all I ever used was the offical WM6 Rom from the AT&T site. Like I said, I was able to install WM6 already, but me being a complete idiot was Flashing the upgrade ROM to get the Hermes back to fresh phone factory settings. But I accidentally reset the computer in the middle of Flshing and since then I have never been able to get it to install again, everytime I turn on the phone I am stuck at the Tri-Color Screen, I am able to restart the upgrade process, but it stops at 11% says ERROR 262 and no connectivity!!
please anybody knows anything, this is the only thing I got, my mom got it for me! We cant afford to get a new one, or even fix it, it was a special present!

Ok. I am a bit annoyed if you cannot try the sdflash method (BTW you can ask somebody having a PC to prepare the card for you.)
There are different things you can flash on your hermes. Radio, OS, Splash screens, Extended Rom,.... The most tricky thing is the radio rom as a failure there has a higher probability to brick your pda.
This is why i believe it is very dangerous to flash right away without some readings and understanding about what you do. i hope you had some experience here.
Did you first install hardspl (olipro 2.10 )? This is not mandatory but is a very good protection against bricking. (here the excellent guide of mrvanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )
Did you flash also a radio rom? (Was it included in the "package" you wanted to flash?) If yes, i am a bit anxious that a stop at 11% is a problem... BUT, if you flashed a radio rom, it goes very, very, very... slowly. And gives the feeling that it freezes. For the "radio" part it is normal . I hope you did not stop the process too soon.
Once again, try the sdcard method. Or try to flash an official rom (most of the time containing a radio part...) and be patient. Can take till 25 minutes.
If this does not work, do not panic yet. Others had also problems before you: go there and start reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
There is a hope to solve your problem. Good luck
Try to flash a radio ROM, turn the device on and if it stays at the bootloader screen (the tri colour screen) make a note of the version displayed. Hook up the device with USB cable, dont worry about activesync.
Download and unzip a radio ROM upgrade (try this one), run the exe, select your bootloader version on the screen....follow the screens through and see if it works.....radio roms take ages to flash so DO NOT disconnect your device.....if it doesnt work you most likely have a corrupted radio bootloader.............which is likely since the radio flash takes the longest ammount of time the reset probably occurred halfway through this.................unlucky
Give it a try though.
The lesson to learn here is to READ THRICE and flash once.....never ever disconnect your device out of impatience (which i suspect has happened many times on a radio flash) and be carefull these devices are expensive

I could not say better
I know, the MicroSD method is nice, but when I got the phone the guy gave me a MicroSD card, but not the regular SD card to read it on computers ( i do have a card reader) Guys a super appreciate the replies> I am gonna try everything rite now, but real quick is my Hermes FUCT??? or is this error fixable??? It is just losing communication everytime at the exact same place, it just seems like something is fixable, but my sorry luck i cant get over the hump!! I will let ya'll know ASAP
okay, here is the thing, Every Hermes ROM update utility I have downloaded wont work, i start it and the VERIFY INFO ON HERMS windows appears about 2 minutes late I get ERROR 260 and it exits! Now when I use the OFFICAL WM6 upgrade ROM from the ATT/HTC site it seems to read the HERMES and wanna start the upgrade process, but thats where it ends at 11% No other RUU I have used or tried has even gotten that far, I just get ERROR 260 before it starts and I have to exit.
What it looks like is I cant communicate with my HERMES at ALL!! Active Sync wont see, only when I reset my computer and reset the HERMES and I plug it in a different USB port, it says Installing New Hardware and HTC USB something and then Hardware has installed and is now ready to use. But Active Sync wont recogniZe it
I'm sorry to tell you that but i think you ****ed up your phone and it is as useless as my ****ing jasjam.
please give us some detailed info s about your hermes like IPL SPL GSM STATUS....
When I am in Tri Color Mode I see.......
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
and SERIAL at bottom, then USB when I plug it in to my computer
I had upgraded to WM6 before on it, but me being a impulsive FOOL, i flashed it again to get me back to Factory Setting (didnt know HARD RESET did the same) and I accidentally RESET my computer in the middle of ROM Upgrading and ever since I cant get past 11% when I try to do it again (using the OFFICAL WM6 ROM from HTC)
and I cant get any communication with mtty although I dont know much about that app, I get a CANT load screen appear
is your phone KITL enabled.
hold the COMM manager button + POWER button + OK button (the one on the left side under the jog wheel) and reset with stylus.
if you see KITL dialogue then it is KITL enabled (MY bricked jasjam is KITL disabled)
if it is KITL enabled then read : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES and your phone will be just fine.
if it is not then your phone is ****ed up just like mine
HA HA, me and my phone guy (well the guy who I bought my Hermes from) HAVE FOUND A FIX to get the phone outta Bootloader Mode and back into OS!! in my case WM6!! I have to do it 1 more time to fully confirm the method!!!!!!!! My friend is calling "SHOCKING THE PHONE" but not really shocking anything!! I am reluctant to share the method, but this site needs more people to actually HELP out others

Mmm... do i understand correctly your post? Are you hesitating to help others because your method is risky, or because you express some exasperation about people on this site? In this case, do not forget that all people here are exchanging ideas, questions etc on a totally free base without any obligation. In the limits of there knowledge. Encountering a problem after flashing a device is the only responsability of the user. We just try to help. But i prefer to believe that you found a method, still risky, that you need still to test
That said, it seems that there are an increasing number of hermes encountering a problem with the radio part. It seems that stopping a flash at 11% is a symptom of that. See some consolidation of those problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461
I hope you will find a solution for your problem and moreover i hope that none of you bought a hermes second hand with an already radio part problem. If so try always to get your money back...
I AM trying to confirm my method BEFORE i share it, because it might work on mine, and I dont wanna screw anyones hermes up more

Why don't you answer my PMs????
Please tell me your sulotion and let me try that if you have any
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.

i would enter bootloader screen again and flash back to a stocked sprint rom. then flash your rom of choice.
Help needed.!!!
My phone suddenly started turning off today and did the vibrate then freeze on boot issue on me.. (overheating?? far too quickly)
so i thought ok .. i'll put a stock rom back on 3.14 uk (not actually able to download for my serial number from htc.com but i got it off the forum, original rom was 1.66 i think a few months back)
I did this and it still over heats..so i thought i'll remove hspl and put stock spl on to take it for repair/return sell to cex or something.
i got the 3.14 nbh and renamed in LEOIMG and everything was fine an seemed to be flashing ok..
it was at the red/green/blue screen for ages and the text did display spl.304 rather than hspl.. so i thought..cool..its done.. so i removed the battery and put it back in..
BAD MISTAKE!!
i get these errors issues now:
triangle with software update failed try again when i turn it on
0028022 "not allow" text when i go into bootloader
i cant load a rom because i dont seem to have hspl anymore
i get "upgrade rom coded error try again".. on the coloured screen in boatloader
i get critial error bad spl version when i try to use hspl2/3
when i try to flash with stock rom again i get to 2% then get the errors:
invalid vendor id error 294
then goes to software update failed triangle try again
am i basically f**ked???
Did i remove the battery mid flash during the spl bit?

****.... tough luck mate....
As long as u got rid of hspl you should be able to get the phone fixed by htc or tmobilie or whatever plan ur on..
Good luck
bought it off ebay..so cant really take it to my provider..the phone is over (just) a year old so probably not in htc warranty? how do i check?
i will donate money to anyones paypal account if they can help fix this
Install the correct stock ROM (the one who match with your S/N) over SD.
how do i know which matches? and how do i do it via sd?

Put in your serial no of your phone (found underneath the battery) into the HTC support website and you will find the ROM that matches your phone. You will then need to download the ROM, extract it and take the .img file out of it and rename it as LEOIMG as before and flash via SD card.
shouldn't even need to use sd card. the correct rom should downgrade the spl over usb.
phone into bootloader,connect usb, run your update .exe, done.
you are guilty of getting over excited and lack of research. five minutes should have told you that you can't use hspl to install 3.14, and that flashing from sd first removes hspl,changes spl, then runs the compatibility tests again and shows exclamation mark if it fails.
I had the same problem i thought i bricked my htc which i was testing before buying i know stupid idea brick the phone before i buy it, basically i had installed hspl 2.08 from 1.42.00 and installed the froyo ROM build which was all good it was working but running really slowly, i couldnt get the ringtone to change which was probably due to the fact that the build did not come with any preinstalled which is fine as i downloaded a ring on mp3 and set it as that, and the radio was one of the latest which wasnt giving me a good reception so i decided, fine that's ok let me get my hands on some apps now so i downloaded a couple tweaks, multiboot and games and put them on my sd card; as well as a tweak to enhance the speed as it was going really slowly on the android, the second i put my sd card into the phone and tried running metamorph an app i was advised to use to apply a windows 7 mobile theme the phone went blank, the only way to get the phone into tri coloured screen mode was to plug it in via the FRONT usb port of my machine which would bring my phone back to life.........oh so i thought, so i was able to see the phone load up to htc white load screen and it would display my buil in red BUT after that it should show the "quietly something something message" and load right.....WRONG the phone just restarted and it would just do the same thing go to htc and restart so i managed to use the vol down+cancel call button to kick it into the tri coloured screen and managed to get the phone back into hspl 1.42.00 which completed but then i still couldnt get past the htc welcome screen!! ARGHH!!! So after spending a whole night applying different hspl's and trying to reflash teh rom via usb and failing i thought id give up and just pay for a bricked phone which i was paying £150 for btw (i know a bargain and brand new!!!) BUT as i came into work today i thought let me try a different pc as that may affect it, and after i downloaded an official ROM update for the phone 1.72 i i plugged my phone in and after literally 20 seconds the bloody thing turned on and started working as normal with no multiboot or rom installed i think i shall be CAREFULLY installing android on the phone one last time. . . . I hope this helped any users out there as i was panicking, and please remember that whatever you do is seriously AT YOUR OWN RISK, do not just jump the gun...sit down do some proper reading and watch some videos because after having to trouble shoot i must say im pretty good at applying roms hahahah i shall be very cautious from now on though. . .. sorry if the post was too long i am a noob my first post!!
yes.. i managed to fix it.. the same way kurt willems above mentioned... i installed the stock voda rom that matched my serial number.. kurt send me you paypal email and i'll bung a few quid in for your help..

right im having some real issues now, i decided NOT to mod my phone again, because once my phone started up again i had to insert the simcard so i turned the phone completely off took out the batt and re-inserted the simcard and then it was bricked again (htc welcome screen, then restarts then back to htc welcome screen and repeat) after that i tried another go at installing the hspl again i just took a random version tbh and tried that as mine is factory unlocked uk htc, and then it failed i then took out the battery and notice that the spokes that connect to the metal part of the battery was a bit crooked so i carefully reseated the battery and hey presto its working again ( i can get into the phone home screen etc) so i quickly downloaded the origional spl from theunlockr"dot"co(m)/2010/04/22/how-to-get-the-htc-hd2-back-to-stock/ and installed it and then gave the phone a factory reset and now it seems to be back to how it would be if it was brand new but now im in a dilemma as i dont know which spl to use as well as what rom is best suited for teh spl and radio because i do not want to brick my phone again because if it does i will end up going back to the phone that has lasted me the longest nokia 6200 XD

Firstly you haven't bricked your phone. Bricking your phone means that it is reactive as a brick - it does not switch on.
To get the latest standard ROM, then go to the HTC website for your area, select the ROM you require and enter your phone's serial number. If you are entitled to use that ROM, then it will download. If not then you will get an error message. You may have to select your operator's version of the ROM.

Assuming, from your icons, that the HD2 is locked to O2; therefore you should be able to download the O2 1.72 ROM (no HSPL required) and it will not invalidate your warranty.
nope thats just what tariff i am using. . .Ive been looking around and now im qutie confused i thought the process for having android on the htc was literally
Download a hspl and install - reset
Download a radio and install - reset
Run CLCARD.EXE then HARET.EXE and presto were in android, now unless something has changed is this right because im about to.
Download hspl3 and install - reset
Download radio and install - reset
Download a ROM and install and - reset
now is this the neccessary steps or am i about to mess up my phone again =.=
It would be helpful to know which ROM, RADIO and SPL you already have.
As for running Android, all that is pre-required is that you have the minimum .50 RADIO (it should be specified in the Android ROM's page). Although flashing the newest RADIO (2.15.50.14) won't do any harm.
Although I am with T-Mobile UK, I have the HTC 1.66WWE ROM, 2.15.50.14 RADIO and 1.66HSPL (via HSPL2). I downloaded an Android version and installed it on the SD Card. It works fine. Since I only tried it a couple of times, I can say that it boots and generally works. But I prefer WimMo.

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
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.
