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!

black diamond 2.0 problem

i have a problem, when i turn my phone on it stays at the start up screen where it says ''black diamond 2.0, by dr dot, windows mobile 6 etc. I've been using this rom for about 3 months. Is it bricked?

i had this problem too. the best thing to do is to first load the original WM5-ROM, and then try again with this rom. if it still doesn't work, you'll have to choose another rom.

i tried what you said but its not connecting to my computer

Hey man.
You need to go into bootloader mode first.
If I'm correct you hold the voice record button and the camera button, then soft reset the device while holding them.
A screen with red green and blue lines will come up, then you connect the device to the usb and it should be able to connect to the pc.

lol sorry, forgot to tell you
first enter bootloader
bootloader: hold camerabutton, then press on/off-button
now a screen will appear with al the colors of the rainbow, and on the bottom a white bar. now if you connect it to your pc, 'USB' appears in the white bar.
good luck!
(sorry for my bad english )

thanks man it worked

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

Tmobile Wing Won't turn on after Rom update attempt.

Tmobile Wing Won't turn on after Rom update attempt. No reset workers. Can't charge can't do anything, its just dead. I really don't want to wait until the wing 2 comes out, is there anything i am doing wrong?? I guess i should add that i used hypercore

It turns out that i think something when wrong( i don't see why?) but i put it into bootloader thing(camera + reset)

Wrong Section to post in. Also your phone is probably bricked.

Go to the xda wiki and search for Goldcard. Even if it's for the elf, it was copied from the Herald. I haven't tried it myself, though.

just hold down the camera button and press the reset button on the side
then connect usb cable
then download the official stock t-mobile rom (google it)
and it should work again

Another brick
I was installing the customized ROM from thewingster (WM6.5) on my Wing. I did not include MS voice recognition, and I think I included all the other software. The progress bar was humming along on my wing, then the flash program said that the file was corrupt, and my phone went blank.
Now I cant turn it on, it wont light up at all when I plug in a charger or a computer USB (activesync wont notice anything is attached to the computer, and wont turn on at all). I tried a charged up battery from another wing, nothing changed...
I tried hard resets with the soft keys and reset button, and camera and reset button. Cant access it through my computer using any program (herald-uspl or activsync)
I have nothing at all.
Any ideas other than throwing it off a bridge?

You tried pressing the camera button ONLY while pressing the power button? (or the soft reset button.) The ROMs don't stop the phone from turning on unless the installation was botched.

botched install

Yes my install was botched. Computer went into standby mode during flash. Phone was still on (just in the bootloader mode? with 3 colors on the screen). From there I figured I could just re-install the ROM, so I tried. Then the progress bar appeared on my phone and I figured it was all gravy. Then the ROM flasher program on my computer said the file is corrupt and the phone went black.
Now its totally dead wont respond to any combination of button pushes or battery replacements....
Anyone had this problem before?

What does this have to do with Rom development?

If it won't turn on by holding the camera button and then pressing the power button nor the reset button, then it might be gone. Sorry. Although, I've always seen it be recoverable.

Htc Touch Pro frozen in soft reset mode.

Hi, I am STUCK!! My phone (HTC Touch Pro) gets stuck in the soft reset mode. I was able to get it to the tri-color screen, but could not get any further than that. Tried to follow some directions by going through the connections and settings, but it could not find the usb port. I need help, if you could get me past this so I could reset my phone, that would be great!!! I am brand new at this and know nothing. Thanks, Nikki

HTH

Have you flashed anything to it? I'm not that familiar with cdma devices. If the hard reset doesn't work, then try taking the battery out for a while, then putting it back in and hitting the power button. If nothing works, and you haven't done any flashing, just take it back for an exchange.

how to run rom when HTC pro is frozen, won't boot or cuts on n off
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
****DOn't take battery out after hard boot***
1.just watch videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk56olMkCtU and do what they do but dont take battery out. LEAVE phone STUCK on BOOT screen. Nothign else will move or work but you want phone just like that.
2. connect usb cable to active sync. (this may not link up but leave usb connected anyhow) Do not delete phone profile.
3.use rom like Download MightyROM6_Herman.exe avail at: http://www.lilrico.com/Mighty/mightyromblog/?p=454
4 although active sync is still attatched but may not be connecting. It will connect thru usb anyway when you run the rom software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV2I2WAFkg4&NR=1
This worked and kept phone from cutting on and off. and restored ROM. don't know about original htc boot. but your phone will work under this rom for now and you can go from there.
