hi,
I'm on WM6.5 by Gregory which works fine - only issue is that I have no bootloader. The update worked nicely and it almost feels like I have a brandnew phone. But then I saw NitroGenious' signature with links for updated IPL and SPL and thought - well higher numbers must be better. Issue is that during one of the installs of a ?PL not sure if it was the I or the S - I was panicking slightly the installation program stopped and windows (xp) said an error had occurred and the program needed to be terminated. Instead of a bootloader I have a blank screen - removing the battery and switching on the phone gives a working phone again.
So I'm left with a perfectly working phone but cannot access the bootloader anymore. I have no immediate need for it as I have a working phone but I would feel better if I had a 'complete' phone again. You would have thought I had learned my lesson but would consider an attempt to get a bootloader back on.

Try to access bootloader this way:
Press and hold 2 buttons - Camera and CommManager, further press Power button and release it (release only Power button, keep first 2 buttons held). It should load into bootloader mode, at last. A must.
hi,
Thanks for the suggestion - both ways of accessing bootloader give the same result: Cam + CommMan and power or Cam and usb cable. Blank screen. Removing battery and putting it back in restart the phone.
I had faced same problem. In my case it was after formating BINFS, it was only whitescreen and nothing else. After some sweating I found the culprit, it was the minisd card slot, I remove, reinsert, some movement of the card.. then ok the bootloader comes back..with great relieve. Now my phone is back with new 6.5 ROM.

Thanks for the tip - similar issue here - I have a 4 GB micro sd in a mini-sd adaptor. I simply removed it and tried to go to bootloader mode and then it worked fine. So it could be a thought to put that as a warning in the guides.

I flashed my XDA Exec with Leo's V7 Videocall ROM which all appeared to go fine until I performed the hard reset to reinstall.
It rebooted to the white screen asking you to press 0 to reinstall or X to exit, so I pressed 0. The screen briefly displayed a 'clearing' message and then went blank. There is no further response from the unit from any input except when I try to hard reset the device and reinstall again.
Just soft resetting the device only continues to give a blank screen and trying to power on the device in a normal manner also only gives a blank screen.
Windows XP fails to recognise the device when it is plugged in via USB either at the hard reset screen or soft reset or complete power off (remove battery, etc) then power on.
I updated to ActiveSync45 prior to the first hard reset.
Does anybody have suggestions or ideas on how to un-brick this Universal?
seems broken DOC chip. how many years you UNIVERSAL
It's about 18 months old now.
What is the DOC chip and why would it only fail at an upgrade?
Try a re-flash
Hi have you tried re-flashing the device?
Enter BootLoader mode, hold Power & BackLight button & press Reset, this will show Serial or USB on the screen. Start the flash off again or try another Rom (maybe the one you have is corrupt)
Cheers,

Hi Beast,
Yeah, I stumbled across these instructions today (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen) and will give that a go tonight when I get home.
Thanks for the suggestion - I'll report back once I've tried it.
jamver - did you charge before flashing your new BIOS? it can go blank just because the battery could be dying and despite seeing some charge in the indicator, in fact the batt would be exhausted.
Hi jamver, I also encountered the same issue as you a few months back. Symptoms sound similar. I tried the points described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289325
Also, upgraded my bootloader and the device came back to life. One thing I learned also is that not all USB cables are made the same. If you find one USB cable doesn't work, you may want to try another. (my case, using a poor quality cable resulted in the "serial" word on the screen not changing to "USB")
Good luck and all the best!
Fixed
Thanks for the help guys. Manually putting it into bootloader mode and re-flashing it worked.
WM6 is significantly faster than any image of WM5 I've used!
hello,
i've ever meet this problem.. but after reflashing in bootloader mode all restart pefect !
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
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!
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?

help me please i have a unlocked sprint touch pro 2 i flashed a gps rom fix
and now my phone wont turn on i tryed a hard reset and nothing
you see anything on the screen at all?
Tell something moore, what's happening when you try to turn it on, or when you plug usb cable, did you flash HardSpl first?
yea nothing completely dead charge light comes on thats it. its unlocked and have energy rom on it i think i flashed a gsm gps fix and bam bricked.
Easy fix
I did this on Wednesday (flashed the wrong type of ROM onto my Verizon phone).
After a little panic, I found the solution. Take the battery out of the phone, put it back in, and hold down "Volume Down" and "End" (power on) at the same time. The phone boots to its "bootloader" - a screen with two or three color backgrounds that looks sort of like an old school bios screen.
From there, you can connect the USB cable to your PC, and load an appropriate ROM (I used MightyRom because I had trouble finding the EnergyROM for Verizon).
Did you get this figured out?

Here is how I UN-bricked my Sprint phone..
By the way...I got this from some one else at this site. It worked (sorry I can't give the proper credit who wrote it first)
Copy the file "RHODIMG.nbh" to a memory stick formated at fat32, put it in the phone. (it should be in the directory where your initial ROM install file is on you Windows computer)
1. Phone off (pull the battery)
2. Pressed the power and Volume Down button simultaneously
3. Power on while doing step 2 (I inserted the battery and then did this step)
4. Load ROM by pressing power again
5. Note bootup will be extremely slow, wait for red text, then wait even longer for GUI
6. I waited on screen for a couple of minutes (at least)
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. Then i wait 2 minits and on my computer screen pop up new window and there write coz error 260. 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.
