any1 have an idea?
Hi, I can't post you links don't think new accounts are allowed. But if you go to the top of the page, search for "Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom". Click the first result by "mskip". He has written a great guide with multiple options on how to flash the ROM.
Follow all the steps carefully, and to be on the safe side. If you flashing from your computer over active sync. Keep all open applications to a minimum. Hope this helps.
You can try flashing using your storage card.

Do this: Pull the battery out, then, put the battery back in and then press the power button while holding down the "Volume Down" key. Let go of the Volume button when you get to the tri-colored bootloader screen. Plug in your USB cable, then re-flash... Should do the trick. Let me know if that fails.
Snap... shoulda read your whole post... it's late, lol... Yep, I would try flashing from the SD card, next.

Hello, well, after several searching ended up here... my first post (like all of us when in trouble)
When trying to enter the tri-color screen, we pressed several times power+volume down and reset button but the phone never gets there, no matter what you do and now it is stuck at the "boot" screen that says: "Touch pro" in white letters and in the right down corner, with red letters says:
R 1.02.25.19
G 52.33.25.17W
D 1.94.00.00
Now, what to do here? it doesn´t boot, no hard reset, no nothing, if i press the reset button re-powers and gets there again... help..!!!
Thanks.

Do entering bootloader : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_For_Beginners#bootloader (With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus)
Then flash new ROM, i hope it's helping
Already tried that...

That´s exactly why i ended with the phone stuck at the first time... i recently got this phone and i wanted to see the bootloader version and stuff to do a firmware update but now it´s just there all the time. Not even being recognized by the pc.
Thanks.
Had You try flash via SD Card?

Well, no, i don´t have an sd card available now... one thing i forgot to say is the phone, after it is on that screen, never turns off again unless you remove the battery... and yes, i have left it on for a day, same thing...
What is the procedure to do the sd card flash thing? it that needs to get to the tree-color screen forget it... that´s exactly what the phone doesn´t do...
Thanks.

Hello Sir, to flash using SD card, you can read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008 see number 5.

I had the same problem. None of the hard resets worked on my phone. The screen would be stuck on my lock screen and unresponsive. It would not shut off unless the battery was taken out.
Now it's working fine, all I had to do was press the reset button and enter in the code a1b2c3.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
Ok, well, the main problem here is that i can´t get into bootloader... the phone is stuck at the fist "Touch pro" screen and nothing else happens...
Anyone with a clue on this? is this phone bricked then...
you sure youre puttin it into bootloader correctly? these things are pretty hard to brick, and can be put through hell and back and still be able to put into bootloader. make sure the hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER, and at the same time RESET WITH THE STYLUS IN THE BOTTOM...youll want to HOLD ALL THREE untill you see the tri colour bootloader screen. keep trying mate, it should go
Finally got bootloader...

Finally, after several tries it got into bootloader... now the thing doesn't end here because for some reason when i try to upload the Raphael Hard_SPL the phone goes ok to 0% and in about a minute a communication error appears and that's it...
We are moving forward... at least.
Bootloader Info.
Tried to flash via microSD but the phone says not allow..i guess that's because the hard SPL is not installed and it has the stock... here's what the bootloader shows, i'm not being able to install olinex hardSPL...
RAPH100
SPL-1.94.0000
MicroP-Raph (LED) v13
MicroP-Raph (KEY) v5
PSOC-Raph STAGE_CVT v0x36
PCBID 0x80
RID 0x0
ideas?
...no way to flash it back....
so... i guess there´s no way to get this back into business... when trying to flash always reports communication error at 0%...
You HAVE to flash hard spl off of a pc-it won't work flashing off an sd card (ever, no matter what you try), and I've heard you can run into problems (brick-type ones) trying to flash it off an sd card. It requires a special ruu to run. This is why it's packaged with the ruu, and you're told to only use that ruu for flashing hard spl.
I'm not sure why you're pressing power when trying to go into bootloader. All you need to do is press and -get this- HOLD DOWN volume down and then soft reset with your stylus. You can even press and hold volume down and do a software soft reset. I've used voice command to activate a soft reset shortcut in my start menu, and having vol down pressed sends you right into bootloader. Release volume down only when the tricolor screen appears. You don't need to hold down the reset button with the stylus. Just tap it and you're done.

ya i just noticed the RAPH100 in his info he posted and the t7272 in the header..mines a RAPH800 and bootloader HAS to have vol + power..anyway, i remember having an issue with something similar with my old vogue..have you tried flashing the shipped stock rom back on? if not, try flashing the stock back on it and if it goes, then try the unlock afterwards. dont fret bud, someone here will get you sorted out
here, i found this as im not well versed in raph100s. its a chart with raph100 roms. im sure some must be shipped stock roms and may be worth a try. sorry i couldnt help more, like i said hopefully someone who knows your device better may be able to help

Download the official rom, right click on the exe and extract it somewhere, you'll get several files, rename RUU_signed.nbh to raphimg.nbh, move it to the root of your sd card and you should be able to install it. It should contain splash screen, radio and os.
No way to flash HardSPL...
Hello, thank you for your help! in fact the volume down+reset works perfect to get into bootloader but every time i try to flash hardSPL or stock rom via USB it says "communication error" and the phone displays a 0% bar...
Windows7 is detecting it as HTC USB Sync.
Thanks..

Hi
In fact the most close to the rom i had on that cell is ruu_signed_1.90.401.1_wwe, downloaded it and will try it again later using sdcard... one thing i wonder is the SPL version which is 1.94.00.00 on my phone.

My phone is currently sitting with a "S/W upgrade" screen after a series of stupid events. I flashed recovery using ROM Manager before I had read that it fake flashed. I rebooted into recovery and installed CM7 nightly. Rebooted and it's stuck in a boot loop. So I finally see all the warnings against that so I figure I need to get a real recovery so I use the awesome guide from TGA_Gunnman. I follow all the instructions and it appears from the log on my PC that the CM recovery flashed successfully. I pull the cord, reinsert my battery and my phone just sits in the S/W upgrade screen. It's been like that for 30 minutes now.
What do I do?
I thought I'd done something wrong with my G2x because that happened to me too. Remove your battery and USB. Then insert your battery again. When you turn it on, make sure to hold both the power button and the volume down button until you see text that says android. If you, like me, thought you just had to hold the volume down and tap the power button (like my Nexus One), that might be your issue.

just disconnect usb, and go to recovery Power+vol down...
.....and congrats !
yep, I thought I bricked it too.. When you were done at the green screen where it said press any button, thats where you press whatever you want and then unplug the cord. Then, put the battery back in and hold down vol then power, don't let go until "android" pops up.. You did it man, just missing your last step..
Moved to proper forum
I can get to the Recovery screen, but I cant select any of the options....volume lets me scroll, but cant find anything to select any of the options....kinda new at this
power button to 'action' your selection... at least it works for me.

The "S/W upgrade" stays on, that's normal. See if your terminal window has completed whatever stuff it is doing. If you get a completed message, you are good to go and can safely pull out the USB chord even if your phone still says "S/W upgrade". Put back your battery and hold Power+Vol DOWN button and see if you get into cmw recovery.
so im trying to fix my friends phone and this is weird..
im able to go to cwm, wipe it all and flash a new rom.. it flashess successfully but when i reboot it goes back to the s/w update screen..it happens with any rom i flash.. its been sitting there for a while.. how long should i wait?
Once you flash the ROM you shouldn't be getting that screen...Does your friend has the G2x or 2x and which ROM did you flash?
Sounds like you screwed up the boot image. Go into APX mode again and reflash the recovery package making sure it completes, you hit a key to close the terminal window, and you hold the volume buttons the entire time. Then go into recovery and factory reset and clear the Dalvik cache. Then if you still get the S/W update screen you are going to need to go to the thread about fixing bricked phones and use the KDZ method to reflash the entire GB OTA package. There is also a new method to reinstall the entire OTA package using NVFlash but you have to hold the volume buttons down for about ten to fifteen minutes while everything flashes.
I am a SUPER NOOB... I rooted my phone and S-Off it... Was trying to flash a ROM, did not work no my phone is stuck at all white screen with HTC across it.. Please help
if you pull the battery to turn off the phone, put the battery back in and hold the volume down button while you press the power button does it take you to the bootloader? And secondly, can you get to the recovery from there?
Yes... Now the son of a gun won't even power on...
I done did something bad... It wont even power up, or charge.... Before you ask me could I get to the boot loader screen I could, but I was jacking around with all kinda of stuff now the thing won't even power up..
How long are you holding the power button to turn it on, you just need to press the power button long enough to power the device on, but keep your finger on the vol down button until you get to the bootloader. Also, do you have the updated clockwork mod recovery installed that doesn't have the charging issue. Basically, is your battery dead?
ok now i have power...
Just please help me get my phone to come on so i can use it.. I am in boot loader now(held power button and volume down button)
go to recovery
Did it... What's next? I've tried everything on the list.. Nothing, that was before I actually posted the thread...
ok, if you are in the clockwork mod recovery, from there you need to do a full wipe, "data factory reset" cant remember the exact option. after you do a full wipe then you can try to install the rom again.
"data factory reset" did.... Phone still can't get pass that same screen....
did you re-install the rom after the factory reset? Also, the rom takes a while to boot the first time.
how can I re-install a Rom if my phone cant even get pass the screen and come on for me to get to the disk drive to drag and drop the ROM?
I am new to the andriod world, so please excuse the Noob-Ness
Ok..
When you downloaded the rom did you put it on your sd card?
What rom did you flash, and how did you flash it?
Lets start there.
**Edit**
And did you even read the following thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I put it on my SD card.... I tried to flash it, didn't work... I flash well attempted to flash it from the Recovery Mode(Power and Volume down) click "install from Sd card" and click the ROM, then rebooted...
My suggestion would be to use your computer to download a new rom from the dev section. Find a usb adapter for the micro SD card and move the new rom to it. Try flashing the new rom from CWM. Sounds to me like you got a rom that isn't for the sensation. Do you remember which rom you downloaded?
InsertCoin..I think it was me.. I just might have **** something up.. I follow the direction from the guy on Thelockr dot com.. it wasnt that hard. I just F my phone up...
How long are you waiting when you turn on your phone after flashing the rom? As I said before it takes a while to boot the first time.
At least 3 mins per go.
I searched, sorry if I missed a thread. Here's where my problems began: Flashed Zeus, wanted to try Zeus-EX, didn't like it went back to Zeus ALL WITHOUT WIPING. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop, I go back to CM7, get blue CWM. Reboot, another bootloop. Now it won't mount E:\ so I attempt Odin back to stock. It was downloading, a little bit of the blue bar showed up as the phone was in download mode. Here's where sh*t hit the fan. COMPUTER REBOOTS, probably because of some update or something. I come back in 10 minutes, bar hasn't moved. I freak, and reboot the phone. Now the screen is black, it won't turn on, I've tried battery pull, plugging into USB w/o battery. Everything. Any suggestions?
Will it get into download mode.....?

we all panic and skip steps when are phones "brick" lol.. i know i did ..glad you got it back!!!
was installing ARHD 7.0, which ive done several times and now the phone wont boot after a reboot. i can vol/pwr up to get to the splash screen, but cannot get into fastboot/hboot or back into twrp. any ideas?
Belay my Last!
Fortunately I found a post from the M8 thread and was more or less, a timing issue on my part. Thanks to Tikerz for his post/reply
Quote below:
"When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up."
I had to do this also. It will work. I thought for sure I had bricked my M8. But if u hold power and volume up at same time time screen goes black..then let go of power and volume up and hold volume down till u see fastboot. From there u can fastboot flash RUU package. I say that cause I personally found that restoring a backup of re-flashing ROM didnt work..at least for me.
