Hi all,
after installing volDeus BG tweakv 0.5 my phone died. i can't restart it and i can't perform a hard reset. i also tried the red reset button from the back - nothing. it's not even charging. i tried a different battery but didn't solve the problem. any help would be appreciated. i don't want to send it back for repair.
It happened to me after manilla, i made this factory reset and after that the phone worked fine.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.
With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
thanks for reply. like i said, i can't perform a hard reset because the phone is not responding. when i press the volume up, down and power button nothing happens. i don't know what to do.
Ahhhhhh.. me 2

If you're unable to perform a hard reset with the hard keys as explained above, you don't have any other choice but to send it in for repair as far as I know...sorry.
I'd suggest first taking out the battery for a couple of hours and then try again.

Also try this;
1. Remove the battery
2. Plug the USB cable to your computer and to your HD2
3. Push and hold volume down/up
4. Insert the battery
Normally the HD2 would start when doing this.

1. L3nny, for future reference, Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5 already has the voldeus skinning function built-in, so there's no more need for it in the future... but since you've got it now... calm down and bear with me here...
2. Voldeus' skinning does not mess with your rom image at all, and any changes can be reversed with a HardReset (i've been there and done that). A HardReset does take 3 hands and a few tries to get it for the first time. The red button on the back is only a SoftReset, same as taking the battery out, so that's not gonna work. And since you've just seen the bootloader now, your previous HardReset attempt probably didn't have the correct buttons combination, so it never worked. Try again using this combo from TBoy2000's HowTo thread: remember it's pressing volumeUP AND Down together AND Power button. you need three thumbs

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

hard reset is not working. i don't think i do it wrong, because it's not the first time i try this.
i copied shell32.exe and aygshell.dll from voldeus' post an dput it on my sd card. i chose some settings, chose the wallpaper and soft reset. but the phone froze at start-up. i put out the battery and from that moment, i couldn't do anything.
if i can enter the bootloader does it mean i can install HSPL and maybe a stock or custom ROM? but if something goes wrong i loose my warranty!
please help me guys, i'm lost.
1) Maby your battery charge is too low ( maby, your usb port is broken and charging is not ON)
Try to connect your HD2 to charge
Its will be better if you will go to service centre.
sorry for my bad English

Is your machine tied to a certain provider? If it is send it back and get a new one.You obviously have a faulty machine.Easy way to bootloader,
Hold volume down.
Take off back.
Press red button.
Bootloader appears flash radio or ROM
i tried with another battery and nothing changed. so i solved this problem already.
yes, it's an orange phone. what would be better: trying to flash a new ROM (if something go wrong i loose the warranty) or send it back for repair?

I dont know but i think that: to flash a new ROM you must enter in bootloader.
It is better to change a device for the new
Its a critical problem. This problem can appear again even if you repair your phone.
If you have official guarantee - you must change your device ( go to your service centre )
DUDE!~!!!!~! You're already in bootloader, just flash your original orange STOCK ROM already and be done with this!!! ALSO, you MUST take out your SD card, since that maybe the problem to begin with (having your core system files at the root of your SD is not a smart idea). If that DOESN'T work, then send the damn thing back to Orange for an exchange! Your choices are really simple, why are you wasting everone's time with this!
Good luck
i just wanted your opinion about my problem beeing a beginner in WM phones. i think always is better to ask a second opinion, especially when you are a newbie. if i wasted someones time i'm sorry.
anyway, thanks for the answers. i'll send it back to orange.
I wouldn't send the phone to repair.
1. enter bootloader-mode
2. mtty task29 search forum
3. enter bootloader again
4. flash orange original rom
5. after flashing perform a hard reset
Hello
I had HTC Diamond before and now i bought HTC Touch Pro.
It has original O2 rom and I am trying to flash a new one. But I cannot enter bootloader. I did Hard-SPL but since i cannot enter bootloader I cannot check if it was succesful or not. I tried all the button combinations (like vol down + enter + reset etc...) but it was unsuccesfull. And i even tried to copy EnterBootloader.exe to the phone and run it. But the screen just goes black and thats all. And when I was trying to do HARD-SPL the screen also went only black. I never seen the three color screen. Please help me!
Thanks
Moved as not ROM Development.
Well, you're probably doing it wrong. Hold volume down, then soft reset. Keep holding vol down until the tricolor screen appears. Don't hold the reset button down; just push it and release it.
Im doing it right. Im sure
so u re trying to flash via card or not, if you're trying to flash via PC dont forget to connect with active sync before, if you are trying to connect with SD card dont forget to do a clean format of it before
I remembered that I actually had the issue once (no idea why, it only happened on one rom about a year ago). Try doing a hard reset, then go into bootloader (instead of pushing vol up and re-booting). If that doesn't work, then start the boot process, and when it hits the alignment screen, try to go into bootloader.

when you do a cold boot (hard reset) you have to
1. Power off the phone. Remove and re-insert the battery to make sure.
2. Press and hold the middle of the Volume button (so that both + and - are pushed down) and the Camera button. While holding these button also press the Power button.
3. Wait until the screen shows "Cold Boot" then release the Power button only.
4. Keep holding the middle of Volume and Camera buttons pressed until the Welcome screen appears.
This may require some fingering to get it right. If you don't get it right you may accidently enter the emergency download mode.
If this doesn't work you can use the download mode to deploy a NoDo rom that might be available for you phone.
I was just flashing the CM10 ROM on my phone. Pity did I know that I needed to flash the boot.img file also,so now I am stuck in a boot loop. The problem is that when I hold the power button to shut down the device it seems to be restarting. So holding volume down button and power button isnt actually bringing me to the bootloader.
What can I do to solve this problem? Is there a way I can revive my phone? I need help.

Press and hold power button. After touch buttons on the bottom flash *5 times(i think), the screen will go black. When the screen goes black, let go of power and press and hold volume down.
Thanks man. That works
After trying to flash a TBO calendar/calculator inverted app I rebooted from recovery only to now be stuck in a bootloop. The only thing the phone will do is begin to reboot itself if I press all three buttons to "hard restart". (power+vol up+vol dwn). Tried using adb/fastboot to reboot into recovery or bootloader but I don't think that the phone is far enough into the boot process to be recognized by adb/fastboot because typing adb reboot-bootloader just returns "waiting on devices". I have also tried to use power+ vol dwn combo to reboot to bootloader. I have noticed that this only works for stock and other certain ROM's. It's a hit and miss as to why this occurs.
So right now I am stuck in a perpetual bootloop with no way to get to recovery or bootloader. I don't know of any other way of getting into recovery to restore a nanroid. Any one have a good suggestion? Please!
The combination of power + volume up (for like 10 or so seconds) will force a reboot. As SOON as it reboots you just need to hold volume down to get into bootloader.

I'm having the same exact problem, I figured out the volume up + power, turns the phone back on in a hardboot. But, exactly how long do you need to hold the volume down button for once it's rebooting?? I just got a replacement phone on 9/24, my previous phone had no problem with this & had the option of fast boot in the settings. Just rebooting my phone takes FOREVER to turn on (or so it seems in comparison). Any idea how or why this is now? Is it due to an update, can I uninstall the update to go back to a fast start setting?? Thanks!!

When you hold the volume down button are you also holding the power button? You need to use volume up + power to restart. Then, when it restarts, immediately hold volume down without letting up on the power button. Needs to be volume down + power to boot into hboot. As for now long do you hold it, until it boots to hboot.
Thanks for the info...
Thanks for more details I'm pretty sure I did let up on the power button thinking it was keeping it from loading. I'll try this out now!!!
