HELP! I think I've bricked my phone! - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

I was trying to update my C500/Typhoon to a WM6 Rom. I got it running for a while, but after a sooft reset, something happened. For some reason, it is now stuck at the first splashscreen.
If I try the hard reset, it doesn't do much. Just tries to boot the phone as normal. So I am pretty much stuck.
Any ideas?

Hmm.. I can also get it into Bootloader? Where to go from here?

You didn't brick your phone because bootloader is still there. You need to hard reset your phone. I am not sure how to do it on typhoon but you can find it somewhere. Or you can try to flash different ROM on your phone.

Soft reset makes phone unbootable (PDAViet 4.0.0.5a)

I recently installed PDAViet's 4.0.0.5a ROM. I thought all was working smooth and fast until I recently tried to soft reset the device.
What happened is that the phone never booted. It was just stuck at the green Windows Mobile splash screen.
Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you solve the problem?
All help is appreciated

Just reboot the system one more time or two more times, by Soft Reset. It will always come back. There must be some 3rd party software that made some changes to the ROM. It might not be reproducible later.
I tried it to no avail.. I haven't even installed any 3rd party software. It sucks but a hard reset did the trick.. lost all my new contacts and stuff though

Don't give up. Try update once again. But remember to follow exactly each step. and it is often worthwhile to do a couple of Hard Resets before and between and after each step.
I have the same problem before, in my initial attempts in upgrading, but once the machine is clean after a couple of HR (actually once is enough), I never had the same problem now.

Thanks anyway, however.. That's the thing, I was able to successfully flash the ROM to PDAViet. However after using the device for some time, it fails. It vibrates non-stop all of a sudden. Then if I reset, it won't boot anymore (stuck in the Windows Mobile splash screen. I think it may be a hardware problem already..

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.

if it was soft bricked, you could fix it. sounds to me like its hard bricked, because you claim even stock wont go on. in that case its trash.
i already know that not the case. hardbricked it wuldnt even come on. this just goes straight to recovery.

One PlusOne recovery loop- Help needed

Hello, I need serious help with my phone.
So, after a long while of having my phone rooted, and had a case of boot loop with twrp, I decided to go back to stock os and hung up the root days. I thought i did it right by getting a stock os and flashed it, and it worked for couple months, until yesterday.
My phone keeps going into Cyanogen Recovery, I tried rebooting so many times, once it did boot up to OS, but it went back after i restarted phone or it died.
Now I can't no longer get back, I thought factory resetting will work but it didn't. (Tried both wipe cache partition and Full factory reset option from the recovery) I found unroot your phone toolkits, thinking it could help fix my problem and just unroot/ give me back to OS (I wished i found this before flashing that custom stock rom).
But the toolkit doesn't work for me, it finds adb devices, but it cant find fast boot devices, because my phone cant even go into fast boot.
I tried manual, and the option from the recovery, it keeps going back to recovery. I have an option for apply update, and then apply from ADB, that was the only way for my pc to recognize my phone from adb devices. Any clues on how to fix?

Will try, Ill respond back if anything happens!
Hmm I'm still having trouble because, I can't get into fast boot for some reason. It's keep going back to Cyanogen recovery. It has the option to reload into bootloader, but goes into cyanogen recovery again.
There is an option in dev options, uncheck the "update cyanogen recovery" and flash twrp again
