stuck after update failure

Was installing duttys rom when my anti-virus program started. Update failed and since then all I see is the tri-colour screen. Sometimes I can get the rom updater to recognise my TyTNII but it will not continue to upgrade. Any suggestions. Have tried mtty1.42 but it doesn't seem to have a usb port option, have tried hard reset etc with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

An update, I have tried several rom updates since, most get to the stage where the progress bar is shown and the stop. The HTC update to revert to shipped rom gets to 1% and then tells me that this rom is not suitable for my pda!

How about some more information...
What is your Tytn II - Tilt or HTC?
What Rom was on it before you tried upgrading?
What Radio was on it before you tried upgrading?
What version of Duttys did you try to flash?
Did you upgrade to HardSPL before you tried flashing?
This should enable someone to begin trying to unbrick your phone.
Also DO NOT USE MTTY unless you know what you are doing - it can seriously kill your Tytn if used incorrectly. Wait for GSLEON3 to swing by before trying this - but he's very busy at the moment helping others unbrick their toys so you may have to wait for a while.
If you had an original rom/radio from AT&T or HTC it shouldn't hurt trying to download an original rom and try to flash - preferably using your SD card.
Also, while you're waiting for someone to help, have a good read through the Kaiser Wiki (in my signature) before trying anything else.

what are the steps that u take? let us know if u are missing any

HTC TyTN 11, Was using Q-mobile 1.2 but couldn't install tom tom navigator 6, don't know what radio it was using because i hadn't got that far.

Try to reset pda keep getting tri-colour, attach usb and usb shows at base of screen. When i try to install rom The problem in my second post occurs. I cannot hard reset device to anything other than the tri-colour

Thanks for your help, I tried one of the roms indicated and it worked! I have spent so much time reading various wikis and downloading files. I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time but I'm not about to ask questions! Thanks again!

OK, now you've got your phone working again, make sure that you get HardSPL installed before you try anymore flashing.

ok i was installing KAIS_Radinly_0.26.07.06_CustomRUU and it froze at 96% and now my phone is bricked!! every time i restart the phone its stuck at the RED GREEN BLUE and WHITE screen.. i tried using mtty but then im not trying to mess my phone up any more. i dont understand how to fix it.. if i download a new ROM and put it on my SD card then how do i read it with my phone? sorry guys, im a noob at this as you can tell..

nm guys. i just ran the new rom and it worked! haha sorry for posting too quick!

NOT FOR SALE.' how do i get rid of this? when i installed a new rom it still says this and i even tried hard resetting my phone but it did not reset anything to factory settings. it just reloaded the rom that i last had!

G1 Crashes with every rom!

ok i im new at this i did the root... then installed cupcake 1.5
and everything was perfect... then a friend told me that super donut was the
best and fastest rom... so i downloaded it... since i installed it... my G1 just
crashes... with every rom i put in it crashes... i tried... cupcake 1.5, super donut with nexus 1.6, akirah 3.0 1.6...
and just crashes and crashes... it does self reboot and it crashes again...
im really pissed off its my new and only phone an i cant use it...
please please someone help me!!!!!!!!

Fixing that G1
There're some things you need to do. First I would recommend you should partition your sdcard, if you have RA-amon's recovery that should'nt be a problem. Alot of the roms out require updated radio and the danger SPL. If you came from cupcake then your radio and SPL are old. Maybe that's your problem you may not have the correct radio or SPL. Before you flash rom's always follow the instructions to the letter. Also alot of roms have automatic apps to sdcard, you need your sdcard partitioned for that. So first I would partition my sdcard, then update my radio and spl, then flash rom, and if you don't have RA-amon's recovery then get it.

[q] help flashing freinds g1

I said I would flash cyanogenmod on a friends G1 because he was fed up with 1.6. I've flashed many custom ROM's on several different devices before but I've made a mess of things with this G1 and I can hardly hand back an unusable phone so I would really appreciate your help.
I rooted the phone using Androot, backed up the apps and settings using titanium backup and then the texts using a text backup app. I then downloaded Rom manager and flashed the latest clockworkmod recovery. Next I downloaded the latest official cyanogenmod rom for the dream/g1 and placed it on the phones SD card using my computer. I then re-opened rom manager and used it to select the zip file from the sd (to flash it) on prompt I checked two boxes one to wipe data and one to wipe the dalvik cache and pressed ok.
The phone rebooted into the recovery wiped the stuff, supposedly flashed the rom and rebooted. However it got stuck on the t-mobile g1 boot screen(it never showed anything else first or anything after) I left it for ages with no joy. I then tried wiping from the recovery and flashing again - same thing so i put cm5 on and tried flashing that. Same problem. Then i realised that it probably would not work because I would need to use DangerSPL as the /system partition is too small on the dream/g1. To be honest at this point I can't be bothered with to do that and this guy will be happy with anything above 1.6 to be honest so I thought I would try and flash CM4 because that's based on Eclair I believe (and so it not require I use DangerSPL or any other method to repartition the NAND). However, I tried it twice and still no luck.
At this point I'm somewhat panicking as I cannot seem to make the phone boot and it isn't even mine! Is anyone able to help?

Anyone? Please?
Look, at this stage I will forget custom roms etc. If anyone can tell me the easiest way to get this phone booting android again i would be very grateful.
Even if you could just tell me exactly how to restore it to stock 1.6 from here?
I have flashed roms on phones before - never had a problem but this is driving me crazy - please help!

HOW THE HELL CAN A GET THIS STUPID THING TO WORK AGAIN!??
MAJOR PANIC AS THIS IS NOT MY PHONE - PLEASE HELP!!!

Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803482. I hope it helps.

It's been way too long since I rooted mine to be of any real help but I shall try nonetheless.
Firstly, there is a guide in the G1 forum to unroot and get back to stock firmware: Here (but note that I've never done this).
I must stress though (admittedly from memory) that if you have flashed an SPL or radio image at all, be VERY careful about the order in which you revert back to stock (or go to get a custom ROM depending on which way you decide to go). The G1 is very picky, and flashing things (mostly SPL and radio IIRC) in the wrong order will brick the device. That said, if you follow the instructions you find to the letter you should be OK. But yeah, read twice, flash once.
There is a lot of information in the stickies in the G1 forum. It could take a while to wade through but it should all be there. Failing that, post in the Q&A or General G1 subforums and I'm sure a current user will help you out.
I apologise if I've just posted a bunch of stuff you already know/have read - like I said, I've not used the phone in a while - just trying to offer what I can.

Thanks
No worries now guys i've done it! It was quite complicated but its all sorted now. If anyone is trying this and has the same (or similar) issue then pm me and I will tell you how I sorted it.
Otherwise thanks guys and you can conciser this thread:

Htc one S. Time of the month.

Hi need a bit of help with this one if possible.
start the top..
went to flash leedroids rom..flashed boot image but forgot to pull rom over.
so had various issues getting over in the end had to mess around with recoverys and totally wipe my sd for it to be recognized.
so i solved all this then..now the issue is..of everything i push over..only one rom boots up and installs fine..and that is a cm9 test without sd mounting..so it solves nothing.
any ideas of how to get a rom on there where i can mount the sd..download a rom and put it on..
ill be honest..htc+internal sd card=not happy
ive pushed leedroids..virtuous..utbs rom but nothing.
i tried aokp but it didnt even push.
with these also some get corrupted by a protocol failure..
many questions. currently has cm9 on..but no mounting..so great

Did you already try a factory reset after flashing the stock recovery (e.g. from MoDaCo)?

-
Hi rootrider, yeah i followed a post i found..
basically i used the one click toolkit to flash the stock recovery..then cleared storage and all data etc.then installed clockwork back..it doesnt like the working roms though
cm9 is the only one i can boot up..at least it sees the sd card again in clockwork though

Had your problem as well... I don't remember exactly what I did to get out among many other things (sh..).
Had some trouble as well flashing stock recovery with the one click tool kit. It didn't work as expected. So I did it with adb. Just keep on trying, there is a way out.

-
My next course of action is, to flash the stock recovery, clear everything,reinstall clockwork then install aokp..if its something with the type of rom.maybe that will work..i can mount..get a rom on the sd and resume business as usual..
debatebale whether itll work lol

If this doesn't help get Thor's hammer and flash your appropriate RUU (again).

Easiest method would be to run an RUU and start over again. I see your vodafone UK so try this one
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/RU..._2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258386_signed.exe
It also includes the new radio too !
Just relock bootloader before running it, After its finished unlock and fastboot flash cwm..
easy peasy !!

--
thanks people, im running leedroids rom now, seemed my issue was is after pushing the file over i just tried to install immediatley..after a couple of reboots just for the hell of it,untouchables rom started installing...phew..
sadly all my sd contents have gone..very dissapointed with the sd card business!
still least its working again!
thankfully azzle didnt need to go back to ruu

Aye, captain. Glad to read this.

[Q] HELP Installed a new rom and it hid half of sdcard?

So I installed the maximusHD 10.0.0 again because I was having problems with the liberty.
When I boot up and go to the folder with my apps in it, theres nothing in there.
I don't think it actually wiped everything because in the free space there is only 1.9gb which is where it was when I installed it.
unfortunately I did not back up my sdcard. however I have installed this rom many times before without it wiping my sdcard.
My phone is s-offed and I don't even know what hboot is currently on there. I think its a newer one but i don't think that matters.
I don't even know what to search for. Any help would be appreciated.
