problem trying to flash ROM

hello, i currently have the faria rom installed. the rom version is 3.3.0.0 with extrom faria v4.0. whenever i try to flash a newer faria wm6 rom, it doesn't want to work. i open the upgrade utility and everything seems to be working fine, then when it starts the process it first tries to restart the phone, but instead of restarting, it just stays off and doesn't come back on. i tried other roms, and even the t mobile 2.26 rom and still no luck.. anyone have a clue to whats going on? thanks.

try install a different rom first to see if it does the same

I've tried 4 different roms including the official t mobile 2.26 rom and still no luck...

A friend of mine had similar. If you run any RUU program the phone just turns off and won't turn back on (without pulling the battery). We tried numerous things (including forcing bootloader by using the camera button and another with a method listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107 so give that a shot) and it still wouldn't work. He called Cingular and they are shipping him a new phone (warranty exchange).

Have you tryed HardReset & reinstall Active Sync and then try again to flash ?

thank you very much guys you were both biiiiiig help! i forced the phone into bootloader mode with the camera button, then turned it back off and on. then when i ran the update utility again this time it didn't just stay off it restarted normally and entered into the bootloader mode. thanks again!!

Wizard doesn't boot after uninstalling BatteryStatus

Hello everyone. I hope you can be of some assistance, because I'm really getting desperate.. I CID unlocked my wizard (i-mate k-jam) so that I could install WM6. I then installed XPlore 1.1 from anichillus. Everything went ok. Some time after, and looking to speed-up wm6, I installed BatteryStatus beta3. The PPC would freeze everytime I tried to overclock the cpu, so I decided to uninstall BatteryStatus. I got an error message saying that BatteryStatus could not be removed completely, but the today plugin wasn't there anymore, so I thought it had been removed correctly. I soft-resetted the PPC and now it doesn't boot anymore. It just stays at the boot screen listing ipl, spl, gsm and os. I used the usual key combination to get into the rom uploading mode, and I can upload any rom that I want, but all of them fail to boot. It just stays at the bootloader screen. I tried many roms, including the latest i-mate one.
Is there any way to recover from this? Is it possible that BatteryStatus made some irreversible modification to the cpu registers?
I'm far from an expert in these matters. Please help. My wizard was a big investment and I can't afford to lose it.

Do a hard reset.

The first thing I tried was a hard reset, with no luck. I get a "Format is failed" output message.

Try this:
Disconnect the PPC from the usb. Kill the wcescomm.exe process on your PC. Take the PPC battery out for a few minutes. Replace. Put it into bootloader mode and reconnect. Reflash with the stock tmobile rom.
Hope this helps!

I solved the problem.. Followed the procedure explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963

Problem running wm6...

I have tried 4 different versions of WM6 from here...Some of them after the upgrade do not run at all.The device hungs up at the splash screen, i reset the device ,hard reset the device ,remove the battery but nothing happens.
This lately occured after installing faria's rom.
Other roms after entering the main screen ,start menu etc, they crash which after each reset happens over and over again...
I'm starting to wonder...is something wrong with my device?
Many times this happens even with the official qtek rom.

Just a question, have you unlocked your phone?

How do i tell if its unlocked or not?
I never had a single problem during an upgrade...but crashes keep on happening right after or in the proccess of a hard reset, i repeat , even with the official ROM, which took me today 2 hours to make it install and run smoothly at last! (unexpected resets , not loading after hard or soft reset)
The device now works fine but it took me so much time to bring it to that condition that i wont be flashing it again unless something very bad happens.

put your device on bootloader then downgrade it to your official rom then after running you have to unlock before reupgrade to any other WM6.0 rom

Why My phone freezed during softreset??

I cooked my rom by using radio 1.64.06.04, and Alex.v5.WM61.HTC.3.03.ROM, it worked fine for a couple of days, but yesterday, I was trying to do a soft reset, the phone freezed when the Windows mobile coming uip, and never got into the Today menu again, My phone is not usable now!!!!!!!/:-(
Then I tried to flash the rom again, but since the phone freezed before getting into windows, the activesnyc kept telling me phone was not connected. Please, please help me.....I have to get my phone back to work.....Thanks.

try a hard reset first, and if you want to reflash, but the device into bootloader and flash

tried a hard rest, but the screen still freeezed before getting into Window....
how can I get into the bootloader, under this condition? thanks alot

Thank you so much!!! After a bunch of reseach, I just realized that I did a wrong hard reset!!! I reset again, and the phone is working now....thank you...you made my day.!~

[SOS] My Touch Pro keeps restarting...

My phone keeps resetting all the time so I can't sync to PC using Active Sync.
I can however start bootloader.
Is there any way to flash HARD SPL via flash card?
(my phone hasn't flashed yet to hard spl or any other rom unsupported by HTC)
Tried to flash phone using official rom update from bootloader.
Updated succesfully unfortunately same restarts after update.
Also tried to flash HARD SPL from bootloader and it detects phone, even starts flashing and stops on 0% then shows connection error. After this restarts as before.

If your phone is messed up and it's never been flashed/hacked, the best thing is to return it for warranty/repair (although it may be too late for that).
You can't flash hard spl from the sd card, so don't bother trying. You may just brick the phone doing it. Read the hard spl thread for instructions and tips on flashing. Make sure that you flash the proper hard spl (and roms/radios) for your device. Its sounds like you may have flashed the wrong firmware, although you haven't really told us what you've done. Constant re-booting is pretty typical when cdma is flashed to gsm, or vice versa. If you flashed the wrong bootloader, then you might as well throw the phone away.

Actually I DIDN'T flashed anything before it happened. At least I didn't.
I bought phone one week ago on auction. Phone worked smoothly. There was a problem with photo camera taking negative like photos. It wasn't important for me so I didn't even tried to flash new rom. That's all. Phone worked fine until todays morning. I woke up hearing reapeated welcome sound over and over. So I just removed battery to turn phone off. During the day tried to update official rom (from htc site) succesfully. But it didn't changed anything.

Try hard resetting the phone. Also, try removing the sim and sd cards. If it continues to re-boot, you may be in trouble. It could already have hard spl on it, so put it in bootloader and see if it's there or not.

Well, now I'm sure I'm in trouble.
In bootloader mode screen doesn't show "1.90.OliNex". I assume, there's no HardSPL.

Hard reset is not possible since I can't start windows mobile. It stops in phase: "Preparing your device for first use...".

It started working unexpectedly!
I've just tried to flash one of original roms available and after rejection, phone restarted and logged to windows succesfully.
Of course I've flashed HARD SPL and now everthing is working fine.

Unfortunately, after a week phone gone into "loop of restarts" again.
