so i'm sure this has happened to someone..
i'm just hoping that i haven't bricked my F*ing phone, but i've scoured the forums but can't find any help.
I was trying to flash a new rom on, but for some reason it stopped in the middle, and now all i get is the rainbow screen... i can't flash anything else on there and have resorted to just taking the battery out for now in case i need to reflash later on
can anyone PLEASE point me in the right direction? I know all you chef's are busy, but hopefully can aide me w/ this as i keep looking
thanks in advance
You really need to check out this first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
Or this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
...and hopefully you have Hard-SPL installed.
yeah i checked and tried, but thanks.. i'm just gonna delete this thread and pray cingular will send me another one
not sure how, found an old method to unbrick it and it did.. now i'm not too sure what version spl or anything i have though... thanks for trying to help w/ the links guys
nnngggggnnnggggggg - trying hard...not...to let head.....explode!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway.....
Come on fella - it's people like you that are giving this site and others like it, a bad name! It takes about 6 seconds to go from not knowing anything about your SPL to knowing what it is and why you should have olipro loaded to stop you bricking your phone.
Please, for the love of god, I beg you to read the wiki and just a couple of things before you randomly try any more radio or OS ROM updates.
Hold the OK (left hand side) and power button whilst pressing the reset button on the bottom.
If it says anything other then 1.40.olipro - read the wiki before you turn your phone into a small, plastic brick. No...not fun-like-Lego.
DO IT NOW!!
Have you done it yet?
Well?
Have you done it now?

Dear all,
I got brand new HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 that is not locked.
The phone is DEAD and does not boot.
I tried vol+ and pressing power on.
The phone green led goes on.. and stays like that forever.
How is the recovery procedure?
I have done recovery procedure on my old HTC P3300 several times, but with this one, no success. Any help? Thanks in advance. (also I need original rom with english language if it is possible, please post a link.) Thanks again.
You ****ed it up. YOu tried a hardspl from a different device... BAD IDEA!! Sorry but you're screwed return your Touch Pro 2 to where you bought it from and see if you can get a new one but otherwise you're screwed

Dear all,
I got brand new HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 that is not locked.
I tried several times to change the firmware from German to WWE, because I do not understand German, but without success.
Then I applied raphael_cdma_vzw_hspl_035.rar because it does not accepted any other wwe firmware that I wanted to put on.
After that, the phone is DEAD and does not boot.
I tried vol+ vol- and reset the same time, and pressing power on.
The phone green led will bo on.. and stays like that forever.

you should have PM'd me for language change services.
now, your bootloader is probably dead if voldown+reset didn't work...
maybe the radio bootloader is still alive, but it would be quite difficult to unbrick it (requiring hardware tools) even if so.
You should consult the experts here before you try anything first, that is why we are here.
Dude! this a very expensive phone... handle with caution.
Now your phone.....RIP!.
Dear Cmonex, one question, as I have found, vol up + vol down + reset btn and then press power. Is this the way for entering the emergency mode, or it is something else (like you wrote... vol down + reset ) ???? maybee I do not enter the recovery mode correctly ???
Thanks for quick reply Cmonex , but thanks all also!!!

As Cmonex wrote,
Hold Vol Down (keep it pressed) and press the reset with the stylus.
This should take you to the tri-colour bootloader screen.
If it doesn't you have bricked your expensive device, the only way to recover is to get a new bootloader loaded via JTag, good luck getting someone to do that for you.
As is always stated here time and time again, read the information carefuly and if you don't understand ask.
Since you flashed a Raphael bootloader or rom or both ???? I'd say it's well and truly an expensive paper weight sir............ on the bright side though, you've learn't an extremely valuable lesson.
READ BEFORE YOU ACT.

Dear Beasty,
Thanks for the complete info.
I will try tomorrow morning first thing to enter vol down + reset, and try to upload new firmware. If it does fail, please give me info for Jtag pinouts. I have done until now flashing with jtag interface to satelite receivers, to linksys rooters but never to phones. However, I think that it will be similar because Jtag is Jtag . Please give me info about the Jtag if you have just for me to be prepared for tomorrow fight . Thanks. Regards.
What I want to know is why did the TP2 stock SPL allow digitalmk to flash an unsigned SPL (ie HardSPL)?
Are the SoftSPL hooks that close between the 2 phones?

I dont think any one here knows where the jtag pins are on this phone. You could always strip the phone down and be the first to know where the jtag pins/pads are...

probably just running SSPL bricked it.
(my newer SSPLs have a device model check but the cdma raphael package which he ran didn't have it)
I did something similar with my HTC Tornado a few years ago,
It was a lost cause, and I feel you are going to find the same.
its an expensive lesson to learn
Obviously, technically speaking you have voided your warranty... so you have a few options left:
Send device back to htc and play dumb *** not recomended could be classed as fraud?***
Find the Jtag pin outs and a method of flashing
purchase a new system board from ebay
break down the device and sell the parts on ebay
Cheers
Steve

Sorry I don't know the jtag pinouts and I don't believe anyone else has mapped them out as yet.

JTAG not easy probably
I was looking a while back for the Titan JTAG points because I also have used it a lot on other devices and someone sent me one he had killed. What I found by looking around surprised me that there appear to be no JTAG at least not in the Titan that are lined up. Someone on another model did it long ago but looking at taking the processor off the board to get to some pads below to do it, made me give it up.
with vol up + reset + power on, it starts green led
My phone is dead, I tried to hold vol down and press reset, but nothing..
BUT WHEN HOLDING VOL UP + CLICKING ON POWER ON, IT Lights green led (left from speaker) and keeps lighting.
When press reset + anything (vol down + reset ) or anything led goes off and does not start. This tells that it is not completely dead .. but.. where from here ??
Any help from here??
Regards to all
It is pretty much dead unless you can find the JTAG pin outs. No other options aside from getting a new one.
I suggest you return your TP2 and "play dumb"..
Wap in in the microwave for half a second. Frys everything. Play dumb.

maybe radio bootloader still works but you'd need to build a serial cable to access it and even then it's not an easy ticket to unbricking
hit it with 12+ volts at the battery terminals, should fry everything and it won't look like you stuck it in the microwave. Say "I think there was something wrong with my charger".......
Are you Dutch, digitalmk? I ask because two different Dutch posters bricked their gsm Raphaels this week flashing that same verizon hard spl. It seems weird as hell that so many people are doing that all of a sudden. Where did you get the idea to flash it?
Hi,
My phone became dead too. It worked normaly, but while i was talking he simply turn off. I thought that is empty battery, but he was on charger for few hours. Red light is on ( when charging), when i try to turn it on he vibrate and get to HTC Touch Pro 2 logo with red numbers in right corner and then go again off.
Does anyone know what maybe be a problem?
Hello All,
I had got a copy of Win Mobile 6.5 from one of my Friend. He had downloaded the copy from this site.
Today suddenly the image in my mobile expired saying that my mobile was scheduled to expire on 05/01/2010.
Now I cant do anything on this mobile. I'm not even able to connect the device to Windows Mobile device center so that I can atleast upgrade it.
Can you guys suggest me something here.
Please help.
Thanks
Neeti
Try to flash from tri color screen.(volume down and power button)
Hard reset your device and then flash it with different rom (without time-bomb).
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I did a hard reset of my device by entering wrong key into my device more than 5 times.
But still its same. Have I missed something out here.
Thanks

A hard reset will not do it, you just end up re booting the same " time bombed " rom.
As suggested above, put your phone in bootloader ( tri color ) screen and flash another rom from there.
Hello All,
Thank you so much for your replies. I could finally solve the issue.
I had this HTC touch phone. I tried pressing volume down + power off button. But that didn't get my anwhere.
Then I tried pressing both soft keys and power button together and that did the trick. It got my phone to factory defaults. This time I didn't change the date to today's date to avoid it getting expired again .
Once mobile was on, i took the latest image and applied and it worked.
Thanks to all of you as your guidance helped me move in right direction.
Thanks
Neeti
hello everybody...

Hi all,
I wanted to put a new ROM on my Touch Diamond p3700, and managed to bust it.
I followed the MTTY guide from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
I got through the steps OK, but at some point, after restarting the device I noticed that it stop booting.
It would display only TOUCH diamond, and that's it. No other red numbers with RGD.
I tried a hard reset. Nothing. I also did a hard reset with a moviNAN format, and nothing. (though I think this might have made matters worse)
I tried a RUU, and it stays at 0% for a couple of minutes and then gives an error on the PC.
I tried an original ROM, but it says Not allowed for this Vendor ID (goes up to 1%).
I tried Hard SPL 1.24 a couple of times but this also stays at 0% for a couple of minutes and then gives an error.
I am totally out of ideas, but I'm only an extreme beginner, so I do hope there will be a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This is a board and not a private chat. A solution should be discussed in public, so maybe later, someone will find this and solve the problem. He will never find your PM... Do you understand that?

do a little more digging before you go on. this forum is cluttered with all sorts of "stuck in bootloader" requests and solutions. i only mean to save this clutter and in the process atleast even a kb on the servers of this forum..
these things have been discussed in the open and in full disclosure. but still some ppl find it hard to do search. i m saving this poor fellow from cluttering all over the forum and being bashed literally in the forum.
+ do ur research. i have replied likewise posts more than 2 times. so i think its best to go pm.
--->> and IF THE SCENARIO **IS NEW AND DIFFERENT from the typical "wrong rom wrong spl and stuck in bootloader" problems ** (which i highly doubt) and also if it is valuable to the forum i will post all my pm's related.
EDIT: See this post which was posted TODAY : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=862690
Now you see what i mean? So hope YOU understand!
Did he put his phone in BL mode after MTTY? I guess this is the situation.
After MTTY please hold VolDown pressed while you press reset button. After BootLoader connect your phone to USB and flash your ROM.
folks, this is exactly what i did in order to be free from so called bootloop OK ! whether you like it or not it doesnt matter to me at all...but first let me tell you that i m quite a new member here and learner as well though this could be ma first step toword that xyz but i too have done some courses on hardware and software including C++ programming in 1998 OK ! just couldnt give it the time and efforts it'd take because of some other situations after i completed the courses.....much of what i do have forgotten now due to discontinuation but not all or everything OK !
my phone did bootlooped after flashing and rebooting which was one of the so called could be many reasons for so called bootlooping.....and i succesfully come out of it.......AND PLZ MIND THAT i had made myself clear saying its a simplest way to get out in which the screen is costant...after flashing that v72 zip file instead of v71......which was indeed successful i got screen shots saved here. everything went ok untill before hitting that reboot into system button...got it ? for 3 days i looked for the ways to get back onto recovery reboot.......now i understand that this is not a huge problem and you guys are gotten used to stroming your brain by going through such complications, and walk around everyday with taht mountain-size of infos inside you............plz dont get offended ! rather try out some simple methods that workds sometimes better than those complecated files manupulatings......thanks !
OK here it is : first reboot into recovery Twrp( by holding down both Power+Vol-Down buttons while device on power-off state ! that brings up usual LG Logo screen..the minute it appears just let go of the buttons at the same time.. simultaneously strike back and hold them down again. of course this lets us enter into Twrp Recovery Mode. Now... first off, hit the Factory Reset button. as soon as its done with go ahead and hit the Restore button next... it pulls up the screen that says: select Package to Restore... get that package below checked. on the next make sure all these system/data/boot are checked as well. no need to enable MDS verification at the bottom...Swipe what it says swipe to..... ! finally...that unforgetable sxcy 'reboot into system' Lo and behold..........! *
ur spamming here by creating multiple threads on same topic....its simple restore via TWRP no big deal
Duplicating of Lg g3 bootloop finally got fixed !
Closed for the same reason as the other thread.
