HTc Vox dead?

Hi
I have had my vox for about a year now, and yesterday I updated the ROM, and installed SmartToolKit on it. I was then browsing my contacts, when the phone suddenly freezed. Then I pushed the "turn off button" on the top of the phone, but nothing happened. Then I had to remove the battery. When i put in the battery again the phone wouldn't turn on anymore, and it still wont. I have tried to hard reset it, but nothing happens. When I try to turn on the phone, the LED lights for about a second, and then it goes out. The display doesn't show anything, and the phone doesn't vibrate. I have tried to take out the memorycard and simcard, but it does not help. It can go to boot mode when i push and hold the camera button while pluggin in the USB cable. I have tried updating the ROM again ind boot mode. But that doesn't help. What is wrong, and what can I do?

Possible Corrupted flash?

Hey all,
I need some help. The other day my touch cruise was working fine, but I wasnt able to connect to the network, and I thought it was time to do a soft reset. After soft reset my phone has now stopped working. It is stuck on the screen that says:
POLA100
SPL-3.13.0000
CPLD-2
The screen has 4 color bars on it, in this order:
RED
GREEN
BLUE
WHITE (SERIAL OR USB)
Every time I reset the phone it quickly flashes the screen with a messege that I believe says "No Image Found"
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks for all your help guys in advance!

A quick update...
I have managed to get back into the phone. I plugged it into the usb, and of course it would not recognise it. However, after it was plugged in I held down the camera button, and the power button and pushed in the reset button, and vola the phone restarted back to normal. I have not lost the operating system or anything. I am not sure what will happen if I turn it off. So I plan on backing it all up and then trying to turn it off and on.
But if you have any answers to this problem please let me know as I am not sure what i have done.
Thanks again guys
Matrixum
Update:
Ok everytime I turn off my phone I go back to the tri color screen. The only way for me to get back into the phone is if I plug it into the USB and hold down the camera button and hit the soft reset. Any ideas?

I guess nobody has had this problem? I must be the first! Seriously.... Well I still have the problem, each time I shut off the phone and turn it back on it goes to the tri color screen. I have to do my combination of camera button and soft reset in order to get the phone to start properly. I dont loose any information, but the phone is now running very slugish at times.
Once again, any help would be great... Unless I am really the first one to run into this problem.
Thx,
Matrixum

Hmmm... I have no idea what could the problem be.
But I have some questions:
1. What OS is/was on your Polaris?
2. Have you managed to backup your data via ActiveSync or other means?
It looks to me like you're stuck somewhere in the upgrade process. But I'm not sure, just guessing.
I'd recommend flashing Polaris with official ROM.
Be aware that you'll lose all your data on device.

Tmobile Wing Won't turn on after Rom update attempt.

Tmobile Wing Won't turn on after Rom update attempt. No reset workers. Can't charge can't do anything, its just dead. I really don't want to wait until the wing 2 comes out, is there anything i am doing wrong?? I guess i should add that i used hypercore

It turns out that i think something when wrong( i don't see why?) but i put it into bootloader thing(camera + reset)

Wrong Section to post in. Also your phone is probably bricked.

Go to the xda wiki and search for Goldcard. Even if it's for the elf, it was copied from the Herald. I haven't tried it myself, though.

just hold down the camera button and press the reset button on the side
then connect usb cable
then download the official stock t-mobile rom (google it)
and it should work again

turn on in bootloader mode
(camera+reset button on side below the volume)
then download the official stock rom and run it and you should have ur old rom back
just search on google for t-mobile stock rom

Another brick
I was installing the customized ROM from thewingster (WM6.5) on my Wing. I did not include MS voice recognition, and I think I included all the other software. The progress bar was humming along on my wing, then the flash program said that the file was corrupt, and my phone went blank.
Now I cant turn it on, it wont light up at all when I plug in a charger or a computer USB (activesync wont notice anything is attached to the computer, and wont turn on at all). I tried a charged up battery from another wing, nothing changed...
I tried hard resets with the soft keys and reset button, and camera and reset button. Cant access it through my computer using any program (herald-uspl or activsync)
I have nothing at all.
Any ideas other than throwing it off a bridge?

You tried pressing the camera button ONLY while pressing the power button? (or the soft reset button.) The ROMs don't stop the phone from turning on unless the installation was botched.

botched install

Yes my install was botched. Computer went into standby mode during flash. Phone was still on (just in the bootloader mode? with 3 colors on the screen). From there I figured I could just re-install the ROM, so I tried. Then the progress bar appeared on my phone and I figured it was all gravy. Then the ROM flasher program on my computer said the file is corrupt and the phone went black.
Now its totally dead wont respond to any combination of button pushes or battery replacements....
Anyone had this problem before?

What does this have to do with Rom development?

If it won't turn on by holding the camera button and then pressing the power button nor the reset button, then it might be gone. Sorry. Although, I've always seen it be recoverable.

Serious boot-problem - HTC HD2

Hi,
I got my HTC HD2 only a couple of weeks ago, and I already got a problem with it
The thing is, that I can't boot it up properly; when pressing the "Turn on/Turn off/hang up"-buttom, it boots by comin' up with the white screen with the green "HTC"-logo in the middle and some system information in the left buttom.
Afterwards the animation with "quietly brilliant" comes up and the Windows logo with the orange background comes up - and then it turns off and boots up again.
I've tried to...
* reset it (not hard reset - I have some contacts that I don't wanna loose).
* charge it up (I can, when the windows-logo appears, see, that the battery's full)
* pull out the battery for several hours
Please help - I'm very sad about that I used tons of money on a device, that now won't work.
Is there any way, where I can solve the problem without loosing all my contacts?

I did it!
Ok, found out that all my contacts were synch'ed with my gmail.
I hard-resetted it, and it works now.
Thanks for your help

Lol well done!
For people that dont have push/exchange contacts etc, always backup using myphone, spb, sprite or other software.
Cant tell you enough how important it is to back up, unless you like loosing everything right?

I bought my HTC HD2 like 2 months ago, and the first two days it froze like thrice !
Now, suddenly i find it turned off then when i try to boot it up, it get stuck on the white screen with the green "htc" and information in red to the bottom left. It hangs there!
It did later show the following black screen with white text:
"The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tired to install an application from untrusted source. Press Volume Up to reset your decice or press any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to it's factory settings"

You tried:
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
If that dont work try flashing a new rom using mtty.
If that still doesnt work I would expect it to be a hardware problem, i would send it back to htc or if without warranty take it to a Phoneshop (or open yourself), probably a wires loose or something.

Thank you for replying... but sadly no, it didn't work
I do have warranty, ill take care of that..
Thank you again.

did hard reset and returned to factory settings. all my installed applications were lost. pity.
All I wanted is to install the @#$%% russian keyboard!

ALWAYS backup first. Simple.

If its brand new out of the box, id take it back and get a different one. If its second hand, see if you can get into bootloader. If you can you can then flash a stock htc rom, if not its back to the shop.

i have the same problem But how i can Backup when phone is turned off

[Q] Touch Pro GSM not booting!

My Touch Pro randomly stopped booting, I had it charging and then the screen refused to come back on no matter how many times I pressed the power button.
So I took out the battery and after I put it back in it started turning on without me pressing the power button and it stayed on the boot screen for a long time and then went to a black screen with the message:
The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source, Press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel, This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings.
Click to expand...

I tried pressing send and every other button but nothing happens. Even tried hard resetting it but nothing happens! The message just stays on the screen till the battery dies.
Does anyone know how I can get it working again?
Btw when I press volume down and the reset button I get the tri colour SPL screen, if that is relevant

Are you positive this a GSM TP? Also, you can provide the type of device for others to see if they have a similar device and perhaps they may be able to shed some light as to what may be the problem. Check your device, behind the battery compartment you'll see a couple of bar codes. Look for one called IMEI and just above it you should see RAPH###, where # equals any number between 0-9. If you have a GSM device, have you attempted to flash anything yet? I'd start with task29 and then flash either a stock ROM or if you already have HSPL'd your phone, then use a custom ROM of choice. If you find out that you have anything else besides a GSM device, you might be better off waiting on someone else to answer.
