The last thing I was doing was removing the HTC Plug In, it asked me to reboot and i did, now it is stuck in a never ending cycle of reboot. The furthest it gets is to the Microsoft start up screen then it shuts down and starts all over. I tried removing the battery and starting. Nothing works. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I think now may be a time to start investigating how to flash roms.
just found this...not much help but it is a lead for you.

how does flashing ROMS help me? Also, I work on Apple.
If your ROM is corrupt then reflashing the original (or a hybrid - your choice) may get it back to a working state.
Don't panic it may not come to that, I'm sure someone here may have an answer for you.
Try soft reset minus the SD card. If no go well then you may need to hard reset the device. sucks but it should work. Now if even that doesnt cure your issue then you may need to head over to HTC's site to get the ROM, Put the phone into bootloader mode and then reflash the ROM onto the device. Usually the rebooting is a corruption. So id go hard reset first. yeah youll lose everything but if you recently synced then no biggy.
Yup, tried that. Oh well, looks like a hard reset for me! Thanks guys.

Just for completeness I will go through my full process:
1. Installed HardSPL
2. Installed Dutty's WM6.1 Official UC 5.2.19199 RTM
3. Discovered that there wa no sound so set about finding a solution
4. Downloaded NIKI_Radinly_1.58.16.27_CustomRUU
5. Installed HardSPL again as would not connect
6. Installed NIKI_Radinly_1.58.16.27_CustomRUU
Problem is that it reached 100% on the install then said it had lost the connection (made USB disconnect noise and everything). The NIKI radio installer only had an exit option and cannot reconnect. The phone is on 100% and won't go any further.
I am very worried about what to do next as clearly I could be in a bad flash situation. Any advice on what to do and what I may have done wrong would be very appreciated ASAP.
Oh I have backed up my phone first so hopefully no data will be lost (just potentially the phone itself )
if you already hard spl correctly then you dont have to do it again.....now you need to put your phone in tricolor mode (press power button and camera button at the same time and while holding then down soft reset with your styles...then you would be in tri color mode) then connect to PC and reflash rom and radio!
PS. please read the wikis on duttys (after flashing tutorial) as you would need to hard reset after! flashing rom for the first time!

you can try Sd Card flashing method...that would be easier
Thanks, I had to take the battery out to get it to restart. Luckily it seems to have got the Radio ROM in there as it rebooted working fully. Didn't know you could go back to the tricolour mode so easily after installing hard spl. Will see if it runs OK for a day or two b4 I get the bottle up to try again
I did have a good read before both installs. As a newbie though the sheer number of combinations and options make it quite hard to follow what you should be doing in each situation. I think that is why so many people are asking the same questions on lack of sound, etc.

Thanks for the advice, will try that next time
Nevermind I see you got it working again. If it should reset back to SPL, let me know & we'll diagnose it for you.

everyone is a newb at one point but as soon as you read and read and learn its farely easy as the great people on xda have made it....good luck flashing!!
Near bricked my universal but i don't know how.
Recently upgraded to TML89_WM61_21048_REGULAR_64MB. (Nice ROM Tomal, many thx.)
Then installed a couple of apps to try them out. (Fechit, Tenki.)
Then two days later machine froze while surfing gmail. I had to hard reset to get any change. Soft reset did nothing.
Hard reset did not solve problem though as phone is now almost completely dead. Only repsone i get is if i attempt a hard reset. I get the reset screen (0 to reset, X to continue), and even says clearing and cleard OK if i press 0, but then imediately goes dead.
Usb does not connect properly (XP, device not recognized.), and flash attempts to many different ROM have not worked. Not ROM flasher even sees version number on phone.
I hope someone has an idea on how to solve as i miss my universal. I am back to my backup phone (CECT X-one) but it is so slow, and has no wifi/keyboard/bluetooth (Activesync or a2dp.).
Thanks in advance.

can you enter bootloader? (press power+backlight+reset)

Welcome to the forum
As Tomal recommended on his thread, please do Doc format
Have you done that?
Have a deep read in the Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Good luck,
Could it be a battery problem? I recently encountered a mystery battery problem where the unit ceases as soon as it passes the flash screen, even though the battery was on charge the entire night, at first it works for a few minutes and then dies. Not only that, it simultaneously happened to 3 batteries within a day. Try, if you can, with another battery that is fully charged.

This happend once to me. Enter boot loader mode (press poweron+brightlight switch+reset sw) and do a DOC format and reflash.
Read Wiki to get familiar about DOC format and entering boot loader mode.
Also this has happened to me many times. An almost dead phone with only bootloader mode available.
Yes DOC format is ok as also re writing another ROM.
It is something like losing the boot sector of a disc as i casn understand.
M phone is a G4 1.19 radio
Thanks for the help
Thanks to all who made suggestions but unfortunately none have helped. No boot loader availlable. (no response when i push backlight, power, and reset.)
Also i have tried with three different batteries after this was suggested.
I won't give up yet though. After all it is not really dead.
Ino.
Hi
Its strange but one thing or the other should work. Try with a fully charged battery.
Remove SIM and SD Card from it.
see if PC recognises the Uni.
If it does not then disconnect from USB port and try putting it in boot loader mode, actually power and backlight buttons to be pressed at the time of pushing reset switch (am sure you must be doing it, but do a bit careful... but just in case try this carefully)
best of luck
Here is what I have I can not get Odin to find the phone to do a master clear. My phone has a charging issue in that it thinks it is charging all the time even with the charging cable unhooked from the phone and that stays whether I am running 2.1 or 2.2. All of my computers are Windows 7 and will only find the phone if it is download mode?????
I am hoping against hope it is a software issue but I am thinking it is a hardware issue. But want to try everything possible to fix it before I buy replacement parts or a new phone.
I have tried the instructions from other threads without any success.
Could someone give me a step by step process that goes from starting fresh by deleting current drivers and reinstalling everything. I may be missing something from the instructions I have followed so far.
Also if you know something else to try I am all ears.
After you one click odin to reinstal Jf6 you have to set the phone to mass storage and USB debugging again ( found in settings-aplications ). Then plug the phone back into your comp while Odin is up and running ahead of time and the phone booted and running. It should recognise it ( you'll hear that dreaded sound ), click master clear and wait for the phone to do it's thing.
Well I finally got odin to find the phone and done the master clear and it did not help.
So unless anyone has any suggestions I will assume it is a hardware issue.

Since you're having problems with the phone being recognized maybe it's hardware. But, my phone is recognized just fine and I have an extremely hard time getting it to master clear.
I would guess I've only gotten it to master clear twice out of probably 40 or so attempts. About 10 of those times was in download mode, but after I found out it had to be booted up it still only master cleared twice. What I do to increase the odds is manually clearing everything I can, after backing up. Factory data reset, then I go into Clockwork and clear everything I can in there by digging into the menus - cache, data, Dalvik, etc. Then I go back to stock, then just hope it'll master clear on that flash attempt.
When it takes, it goes fast, but I've let it try for 15 to 20 minutes before and had nothing happen. No progress showing, just the start announced in Odin and then the disconnection announced when I get bored of nothing happening and pull it.
So my point is, maybe try it a few more times before you write it off as hardware. I don't recall the exact conditions when I got it to work, since it takes so many tries. But I believe it's been flash to stock Eclair, rooted, USB debugging on, and sd card mounted. Maybe not mounted. I reboot the phone after every time I try.
Edit: I did another update today and master clear worked fine. Un-rooted Eclair booted normally, usb debugging enabled, and usb mounted.
Have you had the phone not turn on while it wasn't plugged in?
Hey Guys,
I need help,
here is my problem:
My HD7 restart it self. After enter Pin i go to Pictures Hub and it loads,loads,loads after 5 min my device does nothing so i took battery off. My Device start up and stuck on HTC White Screen.
I can go to Tri-Colored Screen, can go to Restore(Checksum)
After one Restore everything works. Now the same problem appeared again. Now i dont want to restore my device again.
Is there a way to start the device without hardrest??
Hope someone can help me.
Sorry for bad english.
Sounds like you may have bad hardware. I'm assuming you've never flashed a custom ROM or anything like that? I hate to break it to you, but your only options at this point are probably either retore again and hope for some reason it works this time, hard reset and hope the problem was in writable storage and not in ROM, flash a custom ROM 9if your bootloader is compatible) and hope that fixes it, or get a warranty replacement for a defective device.
Thanks for your help. I have tested Custom Rom's and Stock Rom's but the problem doesn't go so i have read that it can be a memory card problem. I know my device felt sometimes to the ground so i opened the phone and the memcard was not really inside the socket so i but it inside and all works fine.
Hello
my sister's phone somehow broke down. It's not rooted or anything, was use for mainly day to day use. She called me yesterday that her phone randomly resets (like 1x per hour).
I plugged phone to computer, wanted to transfer pictures and "important" data to pc and during the transformation phone closed and I am unable to open it again. I managed to transfer around 60% of pictures but mostly important ones so the loss is not that big.
-phone started "looping" at start screen logo to samsung for like 30minutes. After a while it somehow booted into the system and I tried to do software update. Downloaded the update and then installed it but at some point phone closed down and started looping loading screen again. Since then im unable to boot it into the system....
-I entered recovery mode and did Factory reset. Doesnt help. Wiped cache, doesnt help.
-i know little to nothing about android but my guess is that i somehow bricked the system when i did factory reset just when the phone was updating?
is there any solution to somehow "install" fresh android on the phone via PC? Phone is not rooted but it has activated USB debugging options.
****EDIT***
I was thinking that it could be hardware issue but phone can stay open in recovery mode for hours so I suppose it is software problem?
Phone is still under warranty but i cba dealing with services and would rather fix it myself.
Thank you for any help
You should simply done a factory reset.
It will need reflashed. In the long run it may be best to let Samsung hash it out.
Yeah i should've done factory reset while phone was still usable. But I wanted to recover all of the photoa, thats why i tried to do system update first....

Updates don't help especially in this case where the OS was teeter toddling on the abyss. Safe mode. The first mistake was not having the critical data redundantly backed up. All you can do is learn from the mistakes.

You can use SmartSwitch to do that, but I'm a total novice at flashing Androids and the best method. Pick and use the safest method...
A Samsung Experience center at Best Buy can also do it. They might be able to give you more insight as to why it failed.
