Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..
Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!

No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers
I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?
Please help.
I have the Verizon TP World Phone w/SIM card.
I downloaded the HARDSPL described as such: this package is for Rhodium CDMA-GSM worldphone version only (CDMA Touch Pro 2, not the original Touch Pro) devices. only RHOD400, RHOD500 modelids are accepted. this Hard-SPL supports WM6.5.
This process went successfully and I made it to the tri-color bootloader screen.
Next I ran this flashed this ROM NRGZ 21864, which appeared to complete successfully via PC, but when phone rebooted it just shows black w/Touch Pro 2 in middle of the screen.
Tried resetting, batter pull everything can't get anything to happen.
**Update: I was able to now get it into tri-color boot loader so what should I do with it now? It says SPL-1.00.Olinex, so its still unlocked. Should I just retry the rom again?
What did I do wrong? Is this phone dead? How do I get to bootloader? What should be my next step if phone is not dead.
Thank you!!!
Get a different rom that one didnt load or you could try reflashing doesnt seem as it took properly but no fears your phone is not bricked
Make sure you get a rom built for CDMA phones. this isnt the proper section for that goto RHODUIM CDMA
To Flash from the SD card, the .nbh file needs to be named "RHODIMG.nbh"
copy the .nbh file to a micro sd card, prefarably a 2gb or lower formatted as a FAT32
plug it in
get into the boot loader
i would recommend getting the stock ROM for your carrier and flashing that before moving to a custom ROM
hope that helps

How do you get it to load in the bootloader menu ? Any luck with fixing it?

To enter the bootloader hold volume down and power (the red end key, not the sleep key on top) and press the stylus into the reset button. Once you see the tri-color screen you can release volume and power.
Same thing happened to me on my flash to that exact ROM. I guess sometimes it just doesn't flash correctly for some reason. No worries, enter bootloader mode and try flashing to MightyROM. After that, I was able to flash to whatever ROM I wanted. (But then I flashed back...MightyRom rules!!)
the spl 1.00 is fine. just go here it's for cdma phones only.
thanks everyone, got it back into bootloader via the challenging (hold both buttons and hit reset) Years of cosole gaming clearly paid off for those acrobatics.
Reflashed to original rom/radio, will put MightyRom back on..think I just needed to bump my head a bit, start over after some lessons and get this running better.
Hey guys looks like a bricked my 2 week old Sprint Touch Pro 2. I can't get pass the touch pro 2 logo screen now and I'm very upset with myself. Is there a way to possible unbrick the phone. I tried to sync it with my PC no response. Also i did back it up with " Microsoft My Phone " earlier in the day and its backed up on WMDManager too. I will try to take it to sprint for warranty and see what the will do. HAPPY NEW YEAR people!!

Depending on what happened, it's a yes/no situation. What did you do?
Try this:
get into bootloader mode (tri-color screen): Take out the battery for one minute. Put it back in. Getting into bootloader mode is done by holding the Volume down button while you do a press/release of the Reset button. OR hold the Volume down button while you do a press/release of the Power button.
That should get you to bootloader mode. Now, plug in your USB to the PC. Flash a CDMA ROM from there by running the .exe. If you cannot do that, transfer the .nbh file (rename it to "RHODIMG.nbh" [no quotes]) and follow these instructions.
Good luck, and happy new year!
*The majority of the CDMA ROMs can be found at PPCGeeks*

Well, this forum is for CDMA TP2s, but I'll help.
So you took out the battery for at least one minute? Then you put it back in. Get into bootloader mode (T-Mobile version: phone is off, hold the Volume Down button while you press/release the Power Button. Keep holding the Volume Down button until the colorful screen shows up).
When you're in bootloader, plug in your TP2 to your PC. Now run the .exe of a GSM ROM and follow the steps, as if your phone is synced to the PC. (aka flash as you would usually do).
To flash via the Storage Card: On your PC, go to Start > My Computer > Removable Disk drive (something like that; make sure this is your phone's Storage Card). Drag the .nbh of a GSM ROM there. Rename the .nbh "RHODIMG.nbh" (no quotes). Unplug your Phone. Take out the battery again for one minute. Now, go back into bootloader (hold Volume Down button and press/release Power button [keep holding the Volume Down button]). Follow the steps to flash the phone.
Good luck.

You did exactly the reverse of what I did, and the instructions already given are how I resolved it: put it in bootloader and flash a compatible ROM. I flashed a stock ROM just to be sure, but that's probably not needed.

See if you can do a hard-reset right now. While phone is off (which it is), press and hold Talk/Send, End, and Power button at the same time. Wait for a screen to pop-up. Follow steps to hard reset. That will bring it back to factory defaults.
If it doesn't work, maybe you could post your question on PPCGeeks, where a lot of CDMA people go. They might be able to help you.
Can you Unbrick a Touch Pro 2
Hi to all,
I'm a new here and a little desperate . I flashed my rom by using a raphael update instead of Rhodium. My phone got bricked. My phone is a Sprint HTC touch pro 2.
At the moment, it will not boot, when I plug it to my computer and it was looking for qualcomm cdma MSM drivers.
I tried sof and hardware reset including the boot loader. Nothing works. I also tried using different RUUs. Nothing works. I hope somebody can help me.
Fixed the problem...bought an android...ha,ha...

The same exact thing happened to my tp2.Accidently flashed touch pro(RAPHEL)rom and now nothing!!It won't power on or anything,can someone help me too...Is my phone bricked???? Help please!!!

Well if you can power it on, and go to bootloader, then your phone is just fine. Just flash a Rhodium ROM.
I suggest take battery out, and put it back in after few seconds, to see if it powers on. If not, leave it in the charger, and see if it powers on.
After installing the HardSPL, I decided to flash my US Cellular CDMA phone with a GSM rom and of course it bricked it. The phone would only boot to bootloader, so I was going to have it repaired for $70. But if I was willing to flash my device, then I'm sure as willing to look for a DIY solution somewhere. Goodthing I searched this forum, because the answers where right here!
Just format your microSD to FAT32, install an extracted stock ROM kit to the root of the SD insuring you rename the .nbh to RHODMIG.nbh and place the other extracted files on the SD as well. Place the microSD in your HTC Touch Pro2 and boot to bootloader. You may have to take steps to get to the bootloader, mine booted to bootloader automatically anyway at that point. Follow onscreen instructions, and your Touch will be as good as new!
thanks a million for helping me unbrick my tp2
wow man thanks a million, i followed the instru and it worked but was slow so i did task 29 and flashed the rom i wanted and it works great, i really appreciate your help on this
How did you get to the bootloader menu. I am using CDMA HTC Pro 2 by Sprint. Thanks

I wonder if you can help me; i have a sprint hybrid cdma/gsm and it has black screen no lights at all but the qualcomm cpu is easily recognized by pc-have tried all known methods to get in bootloader but i get no lights at all??-have fully charged batt from another tp2=any experience w this problem?-thanks
keeps rebooting?
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the problem I'm facing:
I have the latest Energy rom, with Android 2.3 on SD card. Android proved to be quite unstable and requires soft resets every now and then. Most of the time I would let it boot into WinMo and then run Haret again to get into Android.
Yesterday I left in running in Android all day, and in the evening I noticed the phone had died. Thinking it was just out of battery, I just plugged it in, let it charge for a few hours, then tried to boot it up. But it just kept rebooting, never getting pass the Touch Pro 2 boot screen.
Did hard resets twice, same thing. Re-flash the rom, same thing. Took out SD card, flashed again, same thing. Everything I tried, it would not get pass the initial boot screen, and just cycles the reboot again. Oh by the way, the hard resets and re-flashes are all successful with no errors.
Anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!

Try flashing another ROM or try putting in another battery and see if the bootloop issue goes away. Kindly update the status of your post if you fixed the issue or are still having problems.
Does anyone know how to recover and unbrick a Samsung Ace from a bad flash. My friend tried to upgrade to WM 6.1 using the official upgrade available from samsungusa.com.
All went well, so he says, and the device reset. Instead of loading up it became stuck on a bootloader screen which dispays the samsung logo and www.samsungusa.com.
All attempts to hard reset:
1. hold soft keys
2. press power button
3. press left soft key for clean boot.
have proved futile.
when it is connected to the USB cable it does not recognize the device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I do not think that a call to Sprint Help center will help so I will have to find a community assisted solution.
first advice: after a flash, the initial boot takes very long compared to the normal boot - so let the device sit for 5-10 minutes after switch on, leave the room, have a coffee and wait.
Not sure about the upgrade process for Samsung, but the normal sequence is anyway that the device enters the bootloader when loading the new software.
So as long as you have the bootloader (are you sure it is the bootoloader and not some splashscreen?) nothing is really "bricked".
First make sure you put the device in bootloader mode, then you can just retry the flash with the device connected via USB sitting in boot loader. AS will not find it in this mode, but the flash program should after a while and then continue with the flashing.

Thanks Tobbbie, with the above I should be able to clarify:
But first my apologies for my newbie-ness. I did leave the room, went to be, got up and still no change. I am attaching a pic of what I see on the phone. It seems to be the splashscreen.
I am still able to access the hard reset screen using the procedure as shown in the original post, but this takes me nowhere either. Doing a hard reset takes me back to the logo screen with text : "Clean boot mode" included. this also sits for hours.
I was hoping someone would be able to post a solution of the form seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689423
Sorry, cannot help any further here as I do not have this device. If the flash process from the PC does not recognize the connected device in this mode, try to disable USB connections in AS and retry flashing. Normally the flash-SW on the PC will terminate AS so this is not required - but just in case...

i got a htc hd7 and i try to put the mango update but for some reason now im stuck with the screen only shows plug into pc . the same screen when u hold the power and camara button down. zune keeps on saying that it cant recover and i cant even update or nothing. anyone got any suggestion what should i do cuz i tried eveyrthing even restore my windows to see if it got my back up n that didnt do anything either sooo pls help
i have the same issue , ihope any one help us with the new platform 4.0.4
Hmm... first question: what error did you get when you tried to restore a backup using Zune?
If the original ROM is still intact, you can try removing the phone's battery for a while and then trying to start it up again. That should take it out of update/restore mode if it got stuck for some reason.
If the bootloader is still intact, you can flash a stock ROM instead. The HD7 has many stock ROMs available, and is very easy to flash. I'm going to guess your bootloader is OK since you're able to reach update mode.
Even if your bootloader is messed up, you can probably boot to USB Host Mode and use a GoldCard (USB mass storage device with a device image on it) to repair the bootloader and ROM. In addition, that would let you install an older bootloader, then install HSPL and flash a custom ROM if you so desired.
