XDA Orbit 2 stuck in reboot-loop

Hello Guys, I've got a problem with my Polaris200. (XDA Orbit 2)
I already searched for the same issue on the polaris forums but didn't find someone who has the same problem.
Problem description:
5 days ago i flashed my XDA Orbit 2 back to the official O2-WinMobile-6.1-Firmware (GER). I had different cooked roms on it, M-Amine 2.0 was the last before this. Hard-SPL is installed of course.
At first everything was fine after flashing to o2-firmware but after a soft reset, the following happened: my phone is stuck at the o2-splashscreen, then restarts again and again every 20 secs. Maybe it helps that I can say that there is no status shown in lower-right side which usually appers ten seconds after soft-resetting the phone.
I already tried a hard reset via Bootloader Mode and a reflash of the same firmware, but the issue remains
Any suggestions what I could do?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT:
Finally I made a big mistake using mtty. The execution of task 2a erases the whole NAND... unfortunately my device isn't security unlocked so far, so that it seems to be bricked!

Do you really have no idea? Maybe there is a way using mtty.exe?
I think the main problem is, that the R+P+R (Radio+Protocol+Rom) isn't displayed at the splash-screen when booting.
Next problem is, that I can't use my guarantee because I can't reflash to original SPL due to the fact that I can't get an active sync connection because windows mobile 6.1 is not booting.
I could really need some help

Try the Recovery procedure. Remove the battery wait for at least three seconds, replace the battery. Flash again. Keep fingers crossed.

I did this before the "hard-brick" via task 2a...
I even removed the battery for 48 hours and replaced it... but same issue as before!

I m having 100% same problem. Tried installing different roms, even original orbit2 rom but nothing works. U r all requested to pls. Help me in this.
Thank u in advance.

Were you trying to use an official upgrade or a custom rom? If it was an official upgrade, then you can just reflash the original rom.
If you were trying to flash a cooked rom, I hope you upgraded your Spl or you could be screwed.

Htc touch diamond need help

Hi Lads,
My HTC touch diamond is doing strange, one day I woke up and suddenly it gave me a Red,Green,Blue,White screen. As I understood it's called bootlloader or something like that.
I tried reset+volumebutton after that it is starting normal and Ive got my phone back, but if I turn my phone back off its gaving me the terrible Red, Green, Blue, White screen back.
Ive tried to do a hard reset ( reset button + volume + round button) but then I have to press the volume button again to accept, but it isnt doing anything then.
Ive looked for some solutions but everything is chinese for me.
I just want my phone back to normal and I hope I dont have to loose all my files.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks anyway lads

Well, if possible, Backup all of your Data using either SPB Backup or Microsoft MyPhone, and reflash a new ROM.
This is what most users will tell you to do.
I think once a device encounters the Bootloader Infinite Loop issue, the only solution is to Flash a New ROM.

and how can I do that ? I am really a dummie at this point.
But it still works only if I put it back on I see the bootloader again.

..better post in the diamond thread. I am sure you will get help!
Maybe HardSLP?

Any update on your progress?
Curious as to whether or not you got the issue fixed.
[If you can get into the Bootloader, you can Re-Flash your device.. just keep it plugged into your computer when you restart your device.]

I5801 Bricked Without Flashing

Hi all
Yesterday, I rooted my I5801 (on Orange network) using z4root. Everything went as expected and I used Titanium Backup to remove all of the horrible Orange game demos/bloatware etc. After doing this, everything was working fine and I used the phone for all of today without issue.
I became curious reading about the key-combo for recovery mode and (stupidly) thought I'd take a look. I forgot the exact key-combo, so I just turned the phone off and tried holding vol up + vol down + home + power. Now whenever I try to start the phone, I get a yellow exclamation mark in a white triangle with the Android below. If I push the home button while on this screen I get an open box with an arrow pointing out of it and what looks like a progress bar below that, but it just takes me right back to the exclamation mark screen.
I can get into Download Mode by taking the battery out, putting it back in and holding vol down + power, if this helps.
I've read that it should be possible to reflash, but I really want to try and avoid this if possible, as I don't see why my OS would have died without trying to reflash in the first place.
Is it possible to get back into the OS without reflashing? And if I do need to reflash, can anyone make any recommendations?
Thanks in advance for any answers!

Welcome to the forum
First of all, thats a weird story you got there I have no idea what happened to your phone to be honest. The fact that you can get into download mode is a good sign, it means your phone is not hardbricked (yet) .
I really don't know how I would get around this problem without reflashing, maybe someone else knows a possible solution? I think flashing a new Rom (Android OS) is the way to go. Do you know the buildnumber of your current Rom? You can search for your current Rom in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940. Download it and flash it with Odin via pc to your phone (while in download mode). That should fix it, its a pretty drastic method though.
Good luck
BTW: I'd prefer One-click-root as a method for rooting in the future, you need software on pc to do that. But thats my opinion.

Thanks for the reply! I'm not sure which build I was on.
I'm going to try and put on I5800XXJPU with Odin found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497261
Hopefully because there is no bootloader this won't hardbrick my phone!

Sounds good
Good luck.

In fact, I've just read that if you're going from Eclair (I was definitely on Eclair) to Froyo (which I believe that ROM is) then you need to have a ROM with a bootloader for it to work.
Guess I'll try Kyrillos!

Well yeah, I guess you're right... I still really don't quite understand what's up with bootloaders.

never heard about "coming from eclair, bootloader ROM needed for froyo update"!
My original FW was also eclair and I never ever flashed a bootloader!
But try and see if you get a brick with flashing a bootloader! I wouldn´t dare doing that, but it´s up to you.
I would open another thread and ask specially that question. Why?
Then you get more opinions to make your choice.
Good luck and keep us informed about the progress.

Sorted, I ended up giving the phone to a friend who is more phone competent than myself!
Here's the solution:

First of all going into download , must hold home + vol down + power , that's first mistake. Nothing bad happened to your phone yet , go and reflash any froyo with or without bootloader i did it countless times when no one on this forum had a firmware without bootloader starting from old JPF , yes there is a risk but the reflashing is the only solution Good Luck

Touch screen not working cant use 4EXT recovery

Basically il start from the beginning....
1. phone has worked for 1 month great with ADRHD 6.6.x (not sure exact id) (was the latest a month ago).
2. One day the TOUCH screen just decided to not work at all, BUT after i ran down the battery it worked for 10 minutes, rebooted and same again.
3. Yesterday i managed to finally get the touch to work SO i went throught the stages of updating to ADRHD 6.7.x everything went smoothly UNTIL
half way through the install when it came to the section, "Would you like to install jelly bean animation" (think thats what it said, well it had jelly
bean in lol) AND the touch screen cut out again, so there i am no touch screen, no way to complete the installation. so the battery went dead
and now im stuck in bootloop and the screen wont become touchable at all even after 5 dead battery starts.
4. so now im stuck, cant update, restore or connect to pc as the stupid recovery is touch only so it wont connect to the computer. IT DOES however get recognised by the pc as the pc bleeps when the phone connects (same as each time it bootloops)
SO can ANYONE help me with this, i am insured however and will IF NOT fixed be attempting to claim off insurance.
Any questions please ask !
Thanks

You Can repair the touch screen your self with a new one. Once you get screen repaired you can restore the rom. They have a great video on how to install a new screen on YouTube. If you don't want to send out this could be another option for you? Unless someone else has a fix somehow you can try the repair yourself if you like by following the video.I suggest this because you're rooted and they will deny the repair unless you can get back to stock somehow? Once they see device is rooted they will defiantly deny you.so your best option is to repair yourself unless someone knows of a way around this . Best of luck and keep us posted on what you decide to do.

change the recovery to cwm then
get the recovery.img of cwm old version (non touch)
and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

how? it wont connect to the pc so i cant use recovery at all. all i can do it open recovery and navigate through th standard menus on that screen, such as fastboot, revovery, restore ect.

you can use fastboot commands to change the recovery
just get the recovery.img of cwm 5.0.0.2 one i think
and this command (with phone connected from bootloader to pc)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

this worked great but now have another problem. it all went through, updated to the new version of adrhd and it worked as usual for about an hour. put it on charge over night, and this morning, no luck, touch screen yet again not working. i dont see how its hardware if it did work fine after updating for a long time. and the software has been updated so? maybe change the rom im using, any suggestions?

Yep change rom.. In fact try different roms.. This way we can see who's at fault.. Rom or phone

changed to dark forest rom, touch screen didnt work guessing i need to replace it, do you think i should claim my insurance (had it 6 months for £12.50 a month) or replace the screen (easily done, done this to many phones, ipod ect) cheers for the advice
