Please help. Titan won't start up.

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.

Lost Connection On 100% Flash, Not Auto Rebooted, HELP!

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!
Rene

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.

Flashed with new ROM by mistake

Hi,
and this is not the right way to start a thread in a new forum
a few days ago i bought a used TytnII with english ROM and last night I decided to organize my phone with tools and programms and then a bad thing happened....
I accidentally flashed a ROM in my phone, the file was marked HTC_TYTNII_UPDATES. The file was installed without giving any warning about ROM or non-compatibility issues. After rebooting i get a message that i used illegal ROM and a DeviceLocked message. and the phone reboots.
Any hope to bring it back to normal?
Stergios

Was it a cab file you installed?
Or did you run the file from your computer while your phone was connected through activesync?

1. I don't think you flashed a rom.
2. There is no illegal rom.
3. Maybe it is a good idea to do a clean rom install on your Kaiser, especially since it is a SH device.
Either install cmonex' hard2 spl (3.29 for Kaiser or 3.56 for Tilt) and any rom of your choice, or flash the official rom for your device which will probably work with any spl you may have.

loooool
why do you hate your kaiser!
anyways, there is no way a rom got installed without you knowing stergiosKLM...you would get many steps to click on if you were installing a rom.
format the device...install hard spl (whatever kind except 1.0) and flash your custom rom

Your best bet is to do a hard reset. Go to start, settings, system, clear storage.
Write 1234 and press yes. It will start you from scratch. That should help.

anyway you could upload the file you installed so we could take a look at it

I am on trip right now but as soon as i get back I will send the file.
Thank you all

Problem update
my kaiser has eng version and the file i executed from my pc and installed in kaiser memory (not card), is a localization program from the Greek distributor of HTC that installs two programs, the first in the localization program and the second is a lock program.
After a hard reset (soft keys and reset key), i get the screen alignment, time and date etc, then i tap the screen to start using the device. and then ii installing the customization program.
the file is "HTC_TyTN_II-0.4.2.6GR-9.0.0.25.Installer.zip" and is a RUU_ExtendedPKG program....

Try hard reset by poking the soft reset hole and hold two softkey simultaniously...
look here for proper instruction to reset (kaiser wiki)...

This is the best idea I read in the thread. Just think about if this poor person throught that he/she had flashed a rom. Why even send them though the confusion of (hard spl, and flashing a custom rom)when he/she has no idea on what they are doing anyway. Just hard reset your device and this will fix your issue plain and simple.

i already tried that. plus, i do not know how, the device booted, i uninstalled both programs, then did a reset and still it keeps autoruning the file.
Should i record a video so you get an idea of what is happening? How can i upload the file so someone can check it out?
BTW i am a he. 8)

You try to hard reset you phone?? I not talking about a soft reset. To perform a hard reset hold down to 2 line keys located between the send call and end call buttons and press and hold in the reset button with your stylist(this is located right next to the charge/usb port) til you see a white screen with blue writing and fellow the on screen instructions. I hope that this helps

i did that many times. all goes well up to the point where i get the message "setup is complete. tap the screen to begin using your device". I tap the screen and I get a windowed message "customization. It will automatically customize your device in 3 seconds" and the device shows a progress bar which says "Loading...." then "Loading AutoShortcut...." then "Installing...." after it finishes it reboots and it loads with the greek customization. as soon as it loads i get another windowed message which notes "DeviceLock. you have illegaly aquiered this ROM! This ROM is only for phones sold by ACE-Hellas and their distribution channel!" and after 3 seconds the device reboots and it keeps doing that.

The best solution is to go to HTC's website and download a new ROM/Radio directly from them. This will 100% fix your problem.
This should be what you need.... Pick one that matches your area/carrier

Ok here's the deal. Do a hard reset and when it flashes to the customizing in 3 seconds button, do a soft reset by pushing in the reset button. That will stop customization from happening. Then you can use your phone, but will have to run connection manager to get your connection settings. This is the way to stop customization from running. It only runs one time after a hard reset.
When you get back off your trip, start with the thread mentioned above and work your way through the hardspl process and select a rom that you think has what you want then flash it.

thank you, i appreciate that. One last question for the proper rom, i have to match rom version and radio version only, right?
have a happy new year. thank you all again

HardSPL must be matched too, but you probably won't have any problems regarding this if you install HardSPL 3.29.

That should work with most custom roms out there. If you have a freeze issue where the screen momentarily freezes, then you will need to flash a different hard spl. Most roms, tell you which hardspl and radio are compatible.

Universal near brick - unusual problem

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

Can not install ROM or upgrade SPL and will not hard reset

Hoping someone can help me out here. I've tried searching both xda and google with no luck, partly because the problem is similar but not the same as several other kaiser SPL issues I've found.
The problem began when i went to install a new rom. I always use the SD card method because I find it easier and safer. I copied my new rom to my SD card and entered the bootloader(current version is Hard SPL V1 (1.00.OliPof)). Tri color screen appeared and then update screen listing the image and its contents and telling me to press power. At this point the phone freezes, I can not start the upgrade or cancel out. soft reset works fine to get it to boot again. I have tried several different ROMs including some I have flashed before and got the same results.
After looking around the forums, discovered i needed to update my hardspl. downloaded jockyw2001's 3.56 hard SPL and KAISDIAG, and attempted to flash via SD card. KAISDIAG loaded fine but update froze again at press power screen. I tried reflashing hardspl v1, and hard spl 3.07 with same results.
At this point i thought i may have a problem with my SD card, so went to upgrade SPL via activesync. copied Jumpspl 1.94 to my phone and tried to perform upgrade. kaisercustomRUU got to the progress bar on computer and device and stopped, then after a couple minutes stated that there was a connection error and to recover. recover booted straight into OS. I tried the instructions for white screen freezes, and forceusb with same results
During my troubleshooting i discovered that i cannot hard reset my device via the hardware keys or clear storage.
Don't know if this is related or just a glitch in the ROM but about 2 weeks ago the phone started soft resetting randomly after the battery got under ~40%, more often as the battery got lower until it went dead.
The phone still boots up fine and works, but this ROM is too glitchy for my needs and would like to try something else
My current Rom is JoshKoss' WM6.5 21929 full
My current Hard SPL is Hard SPL V1 (1.00.OliPof)
My current Radio is 1.65.24.36
using a toshiba 2gb SD card
computer is running Windows XP pro SP2 and newest version of active sync
Sorry about the long post but wanted to make sure i explained myself clearly.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

With the 3.56 and the update failing, sometimes it takes several goes for it to do a successful flash. Have you followed >this< 100% to the letter? Disabling USB etc. There's really no room for error. If you don't follow it 100% it will probably never work.
As for not being able to hard reset, are you sure you are holding down the correct keys? When I first started with the kaisers I was holding down the wrong ones. You must hold the button above the IE key, and the one above the mail symbol (so the 2 keys with the lines on them), and then soft reset, while holding the 2 front soft keys until the keypad backlight flashes once quickly and then displays the reset screen message. Then you can let go.
Maybe this won't help you but you never know. Good luck.

I appreciate your help. I had not seen that page, but those directions are identical to the ones i have, and i triple checked myself at each step. As for the hard reset, I have hard reset(to factory defaults) several times before, now its like im not pressing the buttons at all. however the most confusing part is that i cannot hard reset via the OS. i click clear storage and nothing happens

Did you remove the sim and sd cards before trying it via the OS?
And maybe this thread will help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338030

Yes i did remove the cards...
That thread was interesting though... the last post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3741096&postcount=26 seems to have the same hard reset problem and i also have the standby issue he describes. I had assumed that was a glitch in the ROM. I also opened my phone up to replace the display flex connector not long before i noticed the issue.. i think there may be a relationship there. I sent that user a message to see if he found a solution
edited for clarity

I have same issue - after installing HardSPL and load new ROM i'm not able to make hard reset(actualy all buttons stop working), Active Sync recognize my phone as guest and everithing is grey. ROMUpdateUtility give me error ERROR [224] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING - i'm sure that cable is OK .. test it wit other phone ...
