I was trying to flash my phone and I guess I chose the wrong boot loader.
I have a VZW 6700 and flashed it once before then I had to return it due tothe data/usb port being broken... Well the first thing I wanted to do was RE-FLASH the refurb I got on Saturday. Well I sit down this morning and try and I am now stuck in bootloader mode.
I have tried a slew of things... I have been all over here and ppcgeeks.com looking for answers... But to no avail.
Please help!
Thanks for all the responses... I actually ended up taking my phone back to VZW and they took it back and gave me another due to the "SW CRASH"

U need to download Uniexitbootloader.exe
This can be found here or on PPCGEEKS.COM
I have an unusual problem with my oem att tilt running SPL-1.56.0000 (according to the bootloader screen).
The ROM is somehow corrupted in that it will not boot past the giant ATT logo and coordinates (?) screen. I have been having some trouble with the device, but this is a new occurrence not related to anything I did. I have never reflashed the ROM, and because it is in a current hosed state I cannot run hardspl on the device.
I have tried reloading many of the "ATT OEM" ROMs I can find, but they all return "Invalid ID" error the ROM uploader I believe because the versions don't match.
Is there any way to reflash the ROM and bootloader on the device without having first run hardspl? Am I SOL?
Thanks

Did you try going to tri-color first then flashing a stock tilt rom?
Dude, I have the same problem...
I bought the tilt 2 weeks when I was in a business travel in the US and came back to Argentina... I'm kind of screwed about the warranty 'cause I don't think I'll go again so soon to the US...
Is there anybody who can help us with this?
The very diference is that (At the ATT start up Logo screen) the bottom line says D 1.57.00.00 instead of D 1.56.00.00.
Tried everything... soft reset, hard reset... and so on...
The thing is that at some point I think I can get to the phone in some way since if I turn on the phone keeping pressed the camera button and enter in the rom loader screen I can get comm to the phone using mtty (As pof explained to do for "Un-brick" the phone (In the case you got a bad flashing) in this thread...
So, please If anybody have any idea it would be great!
I still have a little hope, because it's like there is some kind of communication between the phone and the computer...
Thanks in advance to any help.
A.
both of you...
Check my sticky thread for reverting back to the stock tilt ROM and SPL...
all you really need from there is the Stock ATT ROM... download it!
Put your phone in Bootloader (shouldn't be too difficult by the sounds of it)
Install the stock ATT ROM.
If this doesn't work try extracting the downloaded ROM (using WinRAR or similar) then just run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Then you might want to consider installing HardSPL... the default download should work for the 1.56 guy. The 1.57 guy will need to download jwocky2001's whitescreen fix (check the stickies).
Good Luck!
I am at the tricolor screen and I have tried the instructions on your thread (thanks very much for making it so easy). However, it says invalid vendor ID after loading 1%; the device automatically reboots and reverts back to the ATT screen until I place it back into the tricolor bootloader again. I thought this was because the version I'm running is 1.56 and I could only find two original OEM ATT ROMs, neither was 1.56 and both failed.
BTW I couldn't do the part about hardspl and running the kaiser program on the device for obvious reasons, but I could get the kaiserruu program to recognize the device, another ROM and attempt to upload it.
Any other thoughts? Do I really need the exact same ATT OEM ROM as what is on the device or is something else wrong?
Thanks again

I have been searching all over for this but it's probaly right in front of my face. I read that you need to get rid of SPL.nbh from official ROMS before flashing back with HardSPL. The problem is, the official T-Mobile Wing ROM that I downloaded is an .exe file. How do I go about removing the SPL.nbh file since it doesn't display folder contents or anything, just runs the RUU?
Sorry for the double post, I realized I was in the wrong forum

Remove HARD-SPL On The Wing
This is the same tool used to flash your device when it was not HARD-SPL.
I replaced the RUU_Signed file and SPL.nh file already.
It will bring your wing back to the stanard rom as when you first got it.
One more question. I'm looking to keep HardSPL but I have to revert to original to upgrade ROMS don't I? I want to upgrade to your OT 6.5 ROM

Okay,
I thought you wanted to go back to the original T-Mobile rom.
If your trying to HARD-SPL your device to install one of my roms or another cooks roms then thats another story.
Please read my FAQ or one of the stickies.
Ok, I think I got it now. So I don't need to revert to the original ROM to flash it since I have HardSPL? Thanks for the help
wen i did this i think i bricked my fone now its at the tmobile screen and it jus staying there
I tried the file that you uploaded here...And it went thru the whole process of flashing the ROM, but after it updated my wing just stays on the T-Mobiel screen and never boots past that.
It had that open touch software on it and I don't want open touch. I want plan old WM 6.0 on there.
I called T-Mobile and got an offical 6.0 update from them, but when I try that one it gets to 1% then says it has a disconneted and I get a connection error.

So does this work? The two people who did this had problems. I need the phone to be all stock so I can have t-mobile send a free replacement because the screen is going on this wing.
***EDIT:*** Oka so this is the same as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364543&page=2 the first time I tried it it froze at 15% on step 2 so I installed the RAPI CAB like it says. Step two completed, phone rebooted and had white screen then I got error 260 I think. I have the stock t-mobile rom on it and had it on before I did this but it still has the yang from when I did a hard spl. Is there another way to get it to stock or am I doing something wrong? Plug in phone, let it sync, run herald-uspl.exe hit enter and so forth.
***EDIT*** Ok so this time it completed but is now stuck at the T-Mobile screen and I am now unable to even flash because I can't get past it And that damn yang still shows up in bootloader. Well went into bootloader and flashed from there so phone works but the damn yang is still there. And on a side note: Has anyone ever had a problem with their screen going very dark after flashing a rom from here? Phone was fine then I flashed OTP v7.4 TouchFlo 2D Lite.nbh yesterday and at night screen started going dark, would light up when opened in keyboard mode, then switched and then both were very dark and hard to see. I then flashed to OTP v7.3.1 TouchFlo 2D Final.nbh and still dark. Then I flashed to stock rom and have been able to see the screen since.
This is stupid easy to do... im shocked there isnt a post going into detail.
5 steps to going back.

Did not work. Do I need to install the cab files again? I know I deleted a file out of the stock rom so it would not overwrite or verify or something but I put that file back, should I not have? This has been a few weeks and still can't get the yang off. Screen on my girls phone is almost dead, she can't even slide it any more so I need to fix the spl so I can send back to t-mobile....anyone ?
this is what i do to get back to the tmobile orginal. download the software from tmobile. I downloaded the newest update from tmobile site. REMOVE YOUR SD CARD. Connected my phone via usb. Launched the update. It has never failed me yet. It is just like updating your phone. tmobile has to take it, it is their update. They sent me a new phone noproblem, matter of fact i have to do it again, the back on the phone keeps getting loose on me. so they are sending me another phone again. hope this helps.
Alternatively you can use the combination of uspl and stock rom ruu to return your device to stock tmobile rom...
1. Enter in to uspl like you were falshing one of ttran001 roms... You can get this HERALD-USPL-beta3 from http://rapidshare.com/files/79249048/Flash_Center.rar
2. ONLY use steps 1 and 2 from the black screen (getting the white screen on your device)...
3. For step 3 in the flasher exit out of the black screen (windows cmd screen) by pressing ctrl+C...
4. Fire up the official ruu from tmobile found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358030 or alternatively if you have a tmobile account still active you can get the most up to date rom from http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
5. Fallow on screen instructions...
6. Back to stock rom...

Being stuck at the Tmobile screen isn't a true brick. Just reflash your ROM. (If you're not HardSPL'd, reflash your RUU.)
Remove Hard SPL from bootloader
Hi,
Anyone out there knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader of Wing. Problem is my mobile displays splash screen, then switch offs by itself. Its been quite some time that I have hardspled it and have been using it. But recently I am facing this issue, so I am trying to move to original RUU and try if it works.
So for that anyone knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader, because I am only able to enter bootloader. Moreover I tried several original roms from Flash Center as well as through SD card as well, but still be SPL version is 4.70.yang. Anyone knows any other alternative.
Also, if anyone has faced similar problem then kindly advice how you resolved.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pankaj
I flashed a new htc touch pro 2 verizon with hardspl, and it was fine - rebooted happily and was fully functional. Then I flashed it with a ROM, and it doesn't boot further than htc logo. I can load a menu with choices to go back to original settings, etc. but nothing can reverse a damage. I tried flashing it from sd card with whatever ROMs - it didn't help. From what I read as long as you use right spl, a phone is not a total brick, but it looks like it is. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
PS. In case you are wandering which ROM killed it: it was an unofficial russian version. I tested it on my t-mobile htc, and it was functional. Then I reversed back to energy rom. I bought htc verizon for my dad, but he asked me to flash it with a russian rom. It didn't go well as you see.

well i dont think it is considered a "brick" unless it wont boot, thats where the term brick or paper weight came from (because thats all it can be used for lol). so with it still starting up, i think there is still hope for you and your device. first off, did u SD flash it in the first place, or is that you attempt at fixing it? cause i think u just got a bad flash. so if you havent tried it, i would try and do it the original way. worth a shot
try finding someone who has a modified version of task29, basically that should take the "bad" rom off of it and only have the boot screen.. i think its an option needing looking into.. hopefully it will work for you.
are you sure its a cdma rom? or else ur phone wont go past boot...check the sticky for cdma roms
I have an HTC Arrive and I am hoping someone can help. I have an interesting brick I havn't read anywhere else about. Hoping someone can help me unbrick my phone.
First, how my phone became a brick.
I had DFT's 8107 Rom flashed and used RSPL to flash the DFT Tango rom but WIFI hotspot wasn't working so I decided to flash Ansars tango rom.
I used RSPL to try to flash it but it got to 85% and then gave a connection error. I beleive it was error 262. I followed the on screen directions that had me unplug my phone remove the battery and put the battery back in and reflash. When my phone restarted it went into boot loader mode but it showed SPL and the RUU gave an error again. I figured it was because it was no longer in RSPL. I put it intop RSPL and then into HSPL that time to prevent the error from happening again. I then reflashed the rom this time with no errors. But, after that when my phone restarted it showed the HTC screen and then the Windows Phone screen and then it freezes. It eventually resets itself and does the same thing again. I have tried flashhing multiple roms to try to fix this problem but nothing has worked. I even tried using zune to restore an old backup.
Does anybody have any ideas what could be wrong and what I could do to unbrick my phone. Please help.
did it show the correct spl when you entered boot loader mode? (is. 1.xx instead of 4.xx or 5.xx? You may need to run the spl downgrade again.
In bootloader mode I was able to put hspl on and it shows version 1.25. I ended buying another arrive on ebay. My bricked one had a cracked screen and hinge anyway. I'm still open to suggestions to resurrect it though because if I do then since I will have an extra I can keep one hacked and one stock.
like the one above said - the bootloader can be fault, like only displays the SPL/RSPL/HSPL but not function like it should. i would suggest you to do a gold card downgrade and flash a stock ROM for you HTC Arrive (or is it maybe a 7 pro gsm version?) and then again RSPL/HSPL, and then a custom ROM if you want.
Have you tried to just flash the OSPL 1.29 from the HSPL post, and then try the RSPL/HSPL again? No need to goldcard this phone if you are able to at least flash things.
