NBD 7.9 & Boot problem

Hi,
I have installed ~2 weeks ago NBD 7.9 and everything was ok. Today I have restarted my phone to change my SIM card but my phone could not start.
I see HTC logo but phone freezes after having NBD logo and nothing happens.
As you can image because of could not connecting to the phone, I can not also update ROM.
Any tip to recover my phone?

Did you try a hard-reset?

Can you explain what exactly you mean? Probably I do not know what is hard reset on these devices.

Ok I have found hard reset on the page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WizardFAQ
But now there is no power also. I also could not boot anymore.

* Press and hold both the Comm Mannager Button and the Voice Command Button
* While keeping those two buttons pressed, press the Reset Button with your stylus
* After about a second you will be prompted for confirmation. Press the Talk Button to confirm
----
oh I see, you found it.
the hard reset set your phone to the "original state" of the ROM (in that case right after you installed your NDB rom).
what do you mean there is no power?
Could it be your battery is empty and needs to re-charged?

There is no response on the phone now.
I suspect battery is empty but when I try to connect power cord no response also.

If you are sure your battery is not empty try to get into the bootloader mode:
depending on the type (G3 or G4) follow the instructions:

especially step G3.2 or G4.2 respectively.

When I tried to connect to power while the phone is off it takes some seconds before response. Have try.

I have a G3 device (Vodafone VPA II Compact). But there is still no response.
I think it is power issue now. The bad thing is that I have only USB cable at home and the main power charger at work now.
Are there any way to charge with USB cable when phone is not open?

I would suggest following:
1. ensure your battery is full
2. do the hard-reset again - this may solve your problem already
3. if not, try to get into the bootloader mode (see the thread referred to above for instructions)
4. follow the instructions to re-load the ROM

I just tried ... while your phone is off the USB connection to the PC should provide you the current .. at my case the WIZARD starts to charge .. have a try.
----------------
the red LED light on the right above the display indicates the charging .. and turns green once it is fully charged, so in any case, you should see a light, although it takes 3-5 seconds after connecting to the USB.
Does it work?

I have tried and there is no light. As I remember before it was not possible if you are not connected via ActiveSync.
Anyway, I can try Monday at office.
Thanks for your help!!!

You're welcome. Good luck for Monday. Hope it will work out. Not much help yet from me but I will be around here.

This was driving me mad as well. I had to put it into bootloader mode (holding camera while resetting) and flash back to the Tmob 2.26 and then reflashing nbd.
The trick is to disable the HTC home plugin before you install any other apps. From what I understand its to do with some mysterious dlls.
I found this out on Friday and so far I haven't had any problems but I guess its still early days.
Good luck!

OK. It was a power issue and I could make a hard reset at office and it works again now.
I will try NBD 8.1 and see the difference.
Thanks for your help a lot!

good to hear it is working again!

Treo 750v Dead

Pls How Repair Treo 750v Dead?
How To Put It In Bootloader Mode May I Flash It?

What do you mean dead? What have you done with it?
Format miniSD into FAT32, put ROM image on it (card method for update, described maaaany times here) and reset holding PTT/Media (side, under volume rocker) button.
Often it is good idea t take a look at wiki. You can find there something like this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_Upgrade
After getting your Treo back to life, write what have you done to it to kill it - it could be useful in future.

The small hole signed "RESET" uder the miniSD card slot.
7. Holding PPT/Media button (one under volume keys) push reset (under card slot) with stylus. - this is going into bootloader.
Still you haven't told us what do you mean saying "dead" and what was the reason of this sudden death. Flashing is a good way to put it on two legs (if it is dead, probably the rom image is broken somehow, so reflashing will fix it).
And make sure your battery is fully charged. Btw, does it charge when you plug in to charger?

how can you hard reset?
do you really know how to?
if it still can turn on, will be recoverable...

PROPER INSTRUCTION
1. Press POWER button to off unit (if unit is ON)
2. Press CAMERA and COMM buttons simultaneously
3. While holding down CAMERA and COMM buttons, use stylus to poke the RESET button at bottom of unit.
4. Release pressing of the RESET button, and continue to hold on to CAMERA and COMM buttons until message appear on the screen asking you to press the SEND (green phone button) to continue.
thats right ?
will be recoverable ?....Oh My God..
it's really can't do anything else ?
because my prophet still can not show the light charger..still DEAD

you are right, those step are very precise
so, can successfully hard reset?
PS. if the battery is not flat, please don't plug the power cable at the beginning.......
plug later when the device goes fine ( sometimes the device won't continue to boot if the power cable was plugged...

not successfully with hard reset..the prophet just blank screen...nothing else.
i try connect my prophet to pc its not detect...
how can i know the device goes fine?
for your information..if i try charge the batery (with no RED LED indicator) for may be 2 hour and then i unplug the charger...after that i try remove the batery the device show the white screen for a second like blitz...just like that.
i try insert he batery againt and doing hard reset still nothing...i plug the charger still light off...hiks...hiks...

R.I.P Dopot 818 Pro
I also have the same problem. First time I was interested with the upgrading proses by looking around the forum. They said noting would be wrong, nice display, try it. But actually the upgrading process to wm6 or wm6.1 are not stable. My Dopot 818 Pro also are now dead coursing by the upgrading from wm5 to wm6. Before upgrading I've asking around, many of the expert said do not upgrade, its not stable, but I just would listen and done the upgrading proses and that was the last time I saw my prophet functioning and its dead now..
I using a very simple basic Nokia phone now & I happy about it, I will not do the unstable upgrading again in the future..

I have the same problem, but don´t have solution :-(
I am finding the solution as well.

SPV M3100 frozen

I know this is a bit of an old phone now, but I'm hoping someone might be able to help...
When I switch the phone on, it gets to the Windows Mobile screen and then just hangs. After a few minutes, it turns itself off.
So far, I've tried the following;
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. Remove battery, put on charge (red light), replace battery (amber light), hard reset
4. Removed battery for 2 weeks
5. Praying
6. Swearing
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thx

Bad Flash
Hi
You could try starting the device in bootloader in order to re-flash the ROM, or flash a new ROM. Methods for this are:
1) Press the soft reset hole button whilst holding camera button fully in.
2) Remove the battery, then re-insert it and switch the device on by pressing the power button but again ensuring the camera button is depressed fully.
3) Remove the battery and re-insert it. Don't switch the device on but plug it into a Windows PC using a USB cable whilst, you guessed it, depressing the camera button.
If you can get into bootloader (three coloured screen with some yellow writing) then you can probably reflash the device. It sounds like a software problem not a hardware problem but I could be wrong on that.
If you can't get the device into bootloader mode you have a problem that is more complicated to fix, about which I can't advice.
Best wishes

Hi,
Thanks for the reply....I couldn't get your method to bring up the bootloader to work, but tried pressing Power and OK while doing a soft reset.
This brought up a screen with 4 horizontal bars - red, green blue & white. Text at the top says;
HERM100 (text in white)
IPL-1.01
HERM100 (text in yellow)
SPL-1.04
In the white bar is the word 'Serial'
Does this sound right?
Then it just hangs on this screen - is there something else I am supposed press on the phone, or do I do something via my laptop with activesync etc?
Sorry for the additional questions, but I've never had to do this before.
Thanks

An update....
After noticing that 'No GSM' appears on the splash screen, I have now found this page which I think might answer my questions.
I'll have a go at this tonight

Help!!! after hard spl intalation htc raphael doesn't respose!!!

Please help me guys . I tried to flash my phone. I conetcted the phone with active synch then on compiuter start the hard spl exe.

So then i dosconect the usb from pc , pick up the phone baterry wait 3 second then put battery to the phone but still doesn't response. I can push tur on button or reset button . But nothink!!!! please help what i need to do?

Before you flashed, you did make sure that you installed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (mentioned in that same post)
Did any of the following happen?
*DO NOT start another process while the flashing process is taking place*
*DO NOT click off of the status bar... Let it stay in the foreground*
*DO NOT let the Screensaver activate*
(any of these can lead to a bad flash and possibly brick your phone)

If so, then you have possibly bricked your phone, my friend
Also, did you wait for it to sync and can you enter bootloader? Hold the volume down key and press the power key/reset button and release the volume down key when you see the multi-color screen.
Additionally, you should be able to remove all cards and your battery and be able to get into bootloader mode by holding the volume down key and connecting to your computer.

I tried now to do it i insrt usb to pc and pocket pc then hold volume down key. But nothing. Mayby you have skype i wna to comunicate with you faster. And maybe you can help to me wat can i do now. Thx for answering

How long did you hold the volume down key? I have to wait at least 2 - 3 seconds from when I connect the cable to my device as I have the USB cable already connected to my PC. In other words, hold the volume key down while you are doing all of this, till you see the multicolor screen.

i can hold it 3 or even 6 minits. but you say something about the colours. when i install the spl with synchronization my phone just like died. i dont know wats hapen. and now i dont see any colours on my phone screen. now the screen is black.when i put battery in my phone about after 3 hours my phone back a litle worm. i dont know what to do.

That sounds like you bricked it. Sorry to hear but if you are positive that you did everything as the post I linked you to, mentioned, then it should work. I'm not sure where the process stopped working for you but perhaps you can try retracing the steps? Although, it does sound like you missed a step and now you're phone is bricked. I'm also not sure if you understand what I am saying or asking you to do but I guess if it isn't working, it just isn't working?

Synchronized Well I just shook my phone and the program's EXE file in the SPL. and then there shook far, far away and then threw away so that you do not click anything, not combine any other program. I do and do it. I've been waiting for. Then I look at my phone screen and blacked everything. Then dropped onto a computer error 260th And I do not know what I can do. It does not RESPOND at all. Even though I tried hard reset but still nothing happens. Maybe I should try to flash the phone to make a micro sd? Once uploaded there y card and then pressing a few buttons to be there? Extend the writing maybe?

I'm not 100% sure this will work unless you have HARD-SPL flashed to your device; which is where we stalled out the last time.
Once you have the stock ROM, rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh. Copy just that file to the root of your microSD (preferably a FAT32 formatted microSD but not required). Then, remove the SIM and hold the volume down key while you press the reset button and continue to hold the volume down key till you see the onscreen instructions. According to THIS post, this method should work for flashing a ROM. I am am not able to really say for sure that it does as I never really used or had to use the microSD flashing option.

This doesn't work to maybe i can somehow reinstall the original htc touch pro soft?

The only OTHER way would be through USB from bootloader but if you find it difficult to get that far, I don't know how else to help you my friend.

Maybe you can write a detail lession how can i do this? how can i louch that bootloader . Please help i realy need your help

Try it this way exactly:
Remove your battery, SIM and microSD. Now plug your USB cable to your device (not the computer). Hold the volume key down and plug the other end of the USB cable to your computer and wait till the multicolor screen comes up. If you do not see the multicolor screen, this may be an indication that the USB cord may be messed up (try another in this case), it may be the USB port (try another in this case) OR worse case senario, your phone is just plain bricked my friend...
Additionally, you may need to try another computer.
Once you get into bootloader we will need to go ahead and get hard-spl onto your device.
First, let me know when you get to the bootloader screen...

This doesn't work to ;(((((((((

I don't know what to say, it is sounding more and more like you've bricked your phone. Have you tried another cable / another USB port / another computer?

So, which raphael do you have? CDMA or GSM? And which hard spl did you flash: CDMA or GSM? And did you flash the raphael hard spl, or did you do something like flash the diamond hard spl (or the unlocker)?
If soft resetting the phone doesn't bring it back, then it's probably bricked. I have a feeling you flashed the wrong bootloader for the device.

so if i bricked my phone. No i can just throw it to the dump. or maybe i i send this phone to the repair shop. Maybe they gona repair it?

So, what bootloader did you flash, and what model do you have? If it's the wrong combo, I guess you could sell it on ebay for spare parts. You're not likely to get it fixed.

i have t-mobile mda htc touch pro. and i tried to flash it with Raphael_VZW_HSPL_035

My friend, if you flashed that to your phone, your phone is now bricked from what I can tell. T-Mobile is GSM, that HSPL looks to belong to Verizon which is CDMA. I could be wrong but if you failed to read, then obviously you really didn't need to do it. :enter sad face of choice here:

It's dead. Just put it up for sale on ebay; someone may give you 20-50 bucks for it.
