Any Help Appreciated. Anyone ever seen this type of "Brick"?
After flashing a new ROM (Tilt XDA-Live v1.0 - fully flashed to 100% and said finished), the device won't boot. It just gets stuck in an endless loop. It trys to boot, shows the AT&T screen, then reboots/resets back to the beginning before getting to the Windows mobile screen.
The only way to get it to stop the loop is to pull out the battery. Put the battery back in and power on and you get the loop again.
I have loaded HARD SPL (1.0.OliPof).
I can get into Bootloader mode by pressing power/camera then reset.
In this mode, I can get it to reflash the ROM (and even other ROMS) but it still ends up in the same loop.
I have tried flashing the Official ATT WWE ROM from this thread but it still loops at boot.
I did the "original/problematic" flash using Vista. Could that be the issue? I have done subsequent "recovery" flashing using XP to no avail.
I have flashed several ROMs to my Tilt in the past (Mostly Dutty ROMs).
I had a Hermes before and flashed that a million times no issue so I'm not a complete noob.
Any ideas? I'm stuck with a brick!
Thanks in advance.
I'm in the same boat. I've flashed over and over (with different ROMs) and am still stuck. But I did every flash from MicroSD card. Did you get any help?
No input yet.
What ROM did you flash that started the problem for you?
dutty's touchflo rom beta for the tilt. i was on dutty's hybrid rom version 3. after flashing the OEM at&t ROM, i'm out of ideas. stay in touch if you find a fix. i'll keep searching.

Bump...
Anyone else seen the issue with a Tilt stuck in a "boot loop" after flashing (see first post)?
Paypal reward for anyone who helps me recover - otherwise I'm going to have to go buy another Tilt (which I could live with but worse yet, I may be stuck with the stock ROM because I'm too gunshy to go back to my flashing ways)
Tried all day to find a fix. Think I made things worse. Read up on some threads using the mtty tool and ran a command (task 2a) that cleared the flash. But now it doesn't even boot to a splash screen, and I can't get back to bootloader mode.
This might sound a bit stupid, but I have taken note that my device upon flashing the new at&t rom actually held some of the information, you would think that a hard reset is performed after a rom flash, but that just wasn't how it worked out for me, anyway I had a radio that wouldn't come up, but would after a hard reset, this was directly after flashing my tilt...
?Glitch
Glitch,
Yeah, I have heard in several places that you need to hard reset after a flash to clear out all the settings from the old ROM. Seems odd since you just overwrote ROM - I think of it as a format (HDD mindset) but I guess it's not a clean format.
Jerich007,
Sorry to hear you went backwards. I stopped flashing my Tilt for the same reason - worried about getting farther in the hole without some expert advice. My next step was to try the MTTY tool just as you noted. Guess I'll go that route as a last resort. If it's any consolation, I seem to remember reading about plenty of people recovering from a "brick" that won’t go into bootloader mode.
Hopefully someone trolling the waters will see this thread and take up the offer for a Cash Reward (Paypal) for help recovering this Brick!
ill put up some paypal $$ for a fix as well. i'm at the end of my rope on this one. i'm subscribed to some other threads so hopefully we'll get some feedback.
It is not so serious as you think! Try the following way:
1- Download the original rom from AT&T (the 1st rom was installed on your device)
2- Turn your bricked Tilt to bootloader ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets )
3- Start flashing your Tilt with the above AT&T rom.
Evething should be OK after that! (but your device need to be installed Hard-SSPL before!!!)

good luck, and be careful
This ROM solved my issues
try this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327482
and DEFINETLY download the ROM, flash it. Once it's flashed,then ya can reflash any ROM ya want. Get the newest stock ROM from the sticky and reflash it (if ya want the ATT ROM)
That will fix it.
(I reflashed Tilt XDA-Live v 1.0, and it's working GREAT.)
I did the same thing to my Tilt.
That ROM saved me.

Problem is I can't get to a bootloader screen now. I press Camera+Power+reset, but all that happens is the green LED goes off then on, and then the screen is blank. Anyone know any other tricks? I think I may have erased my bootloader using mtty command 'task 2a'.
...
Hate to say it, but if after hours of searching on the forum you can't find an answer, i'd pm a pro like pof. I don't know if that will work, but their advice is the only thing i'd listen to.
Don't forget to give a lot of detail and maybe mention what you've tried.
Thanks. I've already PM'd pof and olipro. Hopefully they can come up with something.

****, I should have replied after someone posted all those links to Hermes unbrick procedures, to never do a task 2a from hardSPL. It reformats entire flash including SPL and the problem with hardSPL is that you can't flash another SPL, even if you would have tried before rebooting
Anyhow, your only chances to unbrick your device are to try to enter radio bootloader (there is a radio bootloader running on the mARM (ARM9)) and then to flash it. However, only service centres have such flashx utilities I'm afraid. Furthermore I'm not sure if radio bootloader can be entered directly, usually you can enter it via the normal CE SPL. You can try to first connect USB and then press reset with the stylus while holding the Voicecmd key. If you are in XP, then three new devices should be found (composite USB, a modem and a diagnostics port). Download the Motorola "Q" usb drivers, these will work just fine. In this mode you will have to authenticate to the radio bootloader before you can start entering commands. We'll get to that if you manage to connect. Your other chance to unbrick is via JTAG. I know the kaiser has JTAG points scattered on PCB.
Ok, thanks, I'll search for those drivers and let you know. By Voicecmd key do you mean the push-to-talk key along the side or the talk key with the green phoneset icon?
The top button at the left hand side
Ok here's what happens:
1. downloaded Motorola USB drivers (32-bit) from their site, installed and rebooted.
2. plugged in Tilt via usb cable, 'found new Hardware wizard' starts.
3. clicked next to auto-search for drivers, but the wizard fails with 'cannot install this hardware' message. I have 3 yellow question marks in Device Manager for 'Data Interface' devices.
4. held down Push-to-talk button and hit soft reset. No change, no leds are lit, screen is off.
Did I grab the right drivers?
Not bad at all. Apparently your phone is in Qualcomm DIAG mode, probably as a consequence of task 2a Now you can forget about rebooting with Voicecmd pressed.
Either you've got the wrong drivers or you don't install them in the correct way. Go in device manager, right click one of the 3 and update driver, then 'install from a list or specific location (Advanced)', then check 'Include this location in search' and enter the driver path. I'll take a quick look if I can find the drivers for you, I vaguely remember they were on mobile-files dot com.
EDIT: found the drivers, attached. The VID and PID of the found usb devices should be VID_05C6&PID_6000. Take a look in the device's advanced tab in device manager.
PS: Although diagnostics mode sounds great, I haven't yet found a way to flash the device. Perhaps it works with that Hermes radio flasher MaUpgrade_NoID.exe
Guys with a working SPL can enter radio bootloader DIAG mode via "rtask b", exit MTTY and install drivers. It would be great to know if someone has a htc/qualcomm radio flash utility (perhaps MaUpgrade_NoID.exe is what you need)
Ok, So I had dutty's rom running perfect for about 5 months. Decided I wanted to revert back to the stock ATT rom and play with it. I tried to revert and somewhere along the way, I did a soft reset and it screwed me up. I can still flash roms no problem, but for some reason, when the phone goes to start up, it gets to the first screen of the boot process (white with ATT logo) and then it freezes. After about 10-15 seconds, it automatically soft resets and tries again. So, I can hit the reset button while holding cam and pwr to get to the bootloader. I have tried flashing every rom I have downloaded, and nothing seems to work. I am trying the stock ATT rom as I type this but we will see what happens. That is what I was running when it F'd. I wanted to restore it to stock completely, thought about trying to have it replaced because the hinge is really loose on my handset. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What does your bootloader screen show?
Please Help!
Okay. I tried to flash the OEM rom back to my ATT Tilt. While doing this, somehow my phone entered an unending cycle of soft resets. I can still get to the bootloader, but as soon as I flash a rom, it tries to boot, gets to the first boot screen, then resets. My computer keeps popping up "install drivers for new hardware found".
I tried booting through MTTY, no dice.
My bootloader screen reads:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.01OliPof
CPLD-8
I tried flashing hardspl. RUU opens and it runs instantly. The phone reboots and the boot loader screen still reads this. I flash a new rom, the bootloader still reads this. I'm at a loss. I've been working on this for 3 hours and I haven't gotten anywhere. I don't have a backup phone, so I have to figure this problem out. I have searched the forums and haven't found anyone with the same problem. Please, anyone who feels they can help, let me know what I can try to fix this problem. Thanks!

Some people go to far ahead before figuring out the real issue. Don't **** yourself.
Hold down your power, camera, and insert your stylus then tell us what your bootloader screen displays.

and your bootloader screen will not change because it does not display the rom version. You have hardspl installed what more do you want?
Did you believe your bootloader screen would change after you flashed a rom?

Dude it has been five months since you flashed a rom why bother getting all neurotic and worried For a common situation? I complained to mods because they closed your thread now I look like a douche bag. Thanks.
I had the same problem (continuous reboot) as before, see this thread:

but the problem that I had is because of bad blocks, post your info 8 and maybe I can help
ok, I got the phone to startup, eventually it stopped trying to soft reset. I hit the power button and it turned on. Now, I run jumpspl and it doesn't ever bring up the USB connection, so I can't change the bootloader back to oem. any suggestions?
I used the other version of jumpspl (1.56) and it brought up the USB connection (atleast it says it did). But, when I try to run RUU from the ATT_SPL folder it cannot connect to my phone. MTTY says USB connection is unavailable as well. What should I do?! I want the phone to be able to be sent in for warranty replacement as the hinge seems to keep getting looser and looser. Any ideas? Bootloader still reads the same as before.

If your sending it for warranty replacement via AT&T just put it in the microwave for 2 seconds....problem solved.
so yea, iono what happened to my mda. i cant seem to turn it on. when i press the reset and camera buttons, it worked before and brought me into bootloader. and that was actually all i could do. now, i cant even get it on, iono whats happened to it. im trying and atempting rigorously to charge it so i can try to fix it. but the charge light dusnt even come on... i dont know what happend. please help me analyzed. i really want to fix this back ._.''
You may need to use the factory charger to charge your device. I keep hearing the problem people experience when trying to charge a completely dead battery with a usb charger. the factory charger is 1amp while usb is half that. that may be why it wouldnt charge.
also, when the phone is in bootloader (tricollor bars) the power does not turn off.
you may need to charge your device completely before turning it on; then flash the original rom to it.
anothor thing about flashing while in bootloader:
If you connect the usb and XP does not recognize it, you have to unplug it, reset the device, then connect the usb again. as soon as you hear the found hardware noise, open the rom upgrade utility. flash. should work.
when posting a question such as this, it helps to provide as much information about the device and the circumstances under which it failed. this being an electronic forum, it is difficult to play detective to find out what you did wrong to mess up the machene.
also remember that it is a machene. it can not ousmart you, but you can outsmart it.
Which is your device,what were you doing when this happened,were you trying to flash a rom ?
bricked Cing. 8125
my device just bricked on my while updating also. not sure why, i use a Cingular 8125. i flashed it to the t-mobile 1.2 rom (like i always do) and then tried flashing it to a new rom and about halfway through it bricked up. now activesync wont even recognize it. how can i fix this?
Bricked up is an over used word on these forums. If it does nothing no lights no charge when you put a fully charged battery in it, then its a brick.
Anyway here is me repeating myself yet again. A Wizard WONT CHARGE A BATTERY without windows mobile running. So charge the battery in another wizard or orbit or buy an external desktop charger /cradle with a spare battery slot or a new battery because it wont charge it
Not really...
Wizard can charge without powered on (when not bricked). It just can't charge if the battery is too flat.

It will charge a completely "flat" or dead battery with the original factory charger. the one that has the output of 1amp, not the usb, which is .5amp
so yea, sorry about this confusing post. sop what i was trying to do was changing my wizard love rom to XM6r5...but i dont know how
what i did was use shelltool and pooped it. but now iono how to really fix it. im still confused now cuz i cant boot up at all. i can get into the bootloader r/g/b screen
but iono how to fix it from there
sound to me like you may not have unlocked your device?
maybe.
try this: reset your phone with the reset button;
put it in bootloader (tricolorscreen) reset holding the camera button while untill it is in bootloader;
plug in the usb;
run the update utility.
as it updates, it will seem to freeze at 100%. do not unplug it.
I recomend you flash the love rom first.
but it says it cant even connect when i pplug my usb to the pc and device
th pc dun really "see" it
and the ruu, dont you need active sync on as well or sumthin? nothin shows up

try reseting it. then put it into bootloader; then plug it in; then run the flasher.
if you unplug it while it is in bootloader, then plug it in again it will not read.
exit everything (meaning flashing utility unplug usb; reset phone)
then try it again.
just a side note, dus it matter which ruu im using to do this? or should i use the wizard love first?
okayt so i have tried it, but curiously, how do i know if its actually working when i do that? cuz everytime im in bootloader and open ruu, it goes at first, but the status dusnt move past 0% and then an error message comes up. does it matter ifi supposedly have other programs open in the b/g?
I think it matters which ruu you are using depending on if you have a G4 or G3.
If you have a g4 then use the ruu for a g4.
the guy who designed the wizard service tool would know.
I would flash to the factory rom though to fix any issues first.
what is your IPL SPL? G3 or G4?
well, at least we know that your phone is not bricked. It will get fixed under the right circumstances.
It could be that your battery is not charged all the way.
remove the battery, then put it back in. charge it fully (overnight) and try to flash it to the factory rom.
well i upgraded my rom to wizard love previously, so apparently its a g4 now. i want to upgrade to the XM6r5 ruu but im not too sure.
maybe u could help locate me a few stable and nice roms for g4?
but thanks so far
when i run the RUU, i keep getting an errormessage 260, saying it cant connect my phone to the pc.,..
have you gotten it unbricked yet?
need more infoon your phone and it's current state.
everytime you post a message (it seems) you do not give enough information.
ipl spl current rom ...
I dont know any of these things. untill I do, I can't help you.
If you search the G4 forum you will find information on flashing your phone if it is a G4. (you may need to soft spl or hard spl your phone) look to the G4 forum for information for that.
just because it had the love rom does not mean that it is a g4. all roms that have OS ONLY can be flashed to a G4. If it has SPL/IPL (bootloader) Or extended roms can not be flashed to a G4
oh. haha sorry. now it just boots straight into the bootloader with "ruu" on the upper right hand corner.
ipl is 2.26.0001
spl is 2.26.0001

Its a G4,you can only upgrade through either SoftSPL or HardSPL,read about this in the G4 sub-forum posted as stickies.
but how would i use hardSPL thru only bootloadeR?

ok,download official carrier's rom, get into Bootloaders,hook up the phone with pc via usb,Now Check,if small usb appears at the bottom of the Bootloader screen,if its there than Run the Ruu in the rom to flash it,but if it doesn't appear,its not establishing connection with pc and phone.There might be a connectivity problem,it cud be usb cable,mini usb port of the phone or usb input of pc.
Yes! you can only do HardSPL if its working normal,you can even try to flash wizard_love rom and if it flashes,then go for HardSPL.but official carrier's rom will be more appropriate and recommended,it will also remove any Extended_Rom corruption,if any.
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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.
Hi, i must be the dumbest person in here. I just bricked my used sprint touch pro 2. Well it all started when i did not get any sleep, and did not paying attention. My phone was fully unlocked. So i decided i could not wait to flash my phone. So i started to flash the phone, but after it was done i realized i only flashed the BLEEPING SPLASH SCREEN !!!!!!!!
So when i tried to turn the phone on, it loads to the splash screen only.
So i tried to connect it to my computer, but nothing. So i tried to hard reset, it goes to bootloader screen, then only to Touch pro 2 screen. Is there anything that i could do beside Cry, lol. HELP PLEASE.
Can you enter bootloader on your touch pro2?
If so, then its good news and its not bricked Download an official rom from HTC website (or here from the touch pro 2 forum), connect it to your computer whilst in bootloader (multi coloured screen) - make sure is says usb and not serial on ur devices screen and double click your downloaded rom.
It should flash succesfully and you will have your device back up and running in under 10 minutes.
Good luck.
Maybe i should elaborate more. when i said, when i connect it to the computer nothing. I meant nothing happens. Meaning it does not connect, or recognize the Usb, or computer. Help, THX
Ok, you know how to get ur device into bootloader right? what does it say on the screen (dont bother connecting it to your computer).
It jumps right from bootloader mode to the screen that ask me if i want reset all setting to manufacturer default, or cancel page.
soft reset = hold the power button and the volume button down and softreset
I think you are trying to to a hard reset
If you can stay in bootloader, it is possible to flash official stock rom from your sd card. It isnt too difficult to do so let me know and ill tell you how to do it, but have a look on the touch pro 2 forum, you will find how to do it there
Okay, i did a soft reset. And it is staying at the boot loader screen. So it is possible to fix this sprint phone?
Okay, i think i have an idea what you want me to do. You want me to put the phone in boot loader mode, then down load a .nbh file onto the root of the SD card. And while in boot loader mode it should flash the stock rom.
Is that correct?
Yes exactly that
Make sure you extract the nbh file from the stock rom using winzip or another utility. You must then rename it to something like xxxxx.nbh (you will need to get this from the tp2 forum or when i have time ill find it for u). COpy it to the root as you say, enter bootloader etc etc.
You will find how to do this in the tp2 forum.
Good luck.
Once you get into the bootloader (the tri-coloured screen) it should say "Serial" at the bottom. Then plug the USB cable in from your PC, and that should change to "USB".
If it does say "USB", then you should be able to go ahead and flash a ROM from the PC (no need to do it via SD unless you really want to). You don't need an ActiveSync connection.
Omg. I love you guys. You guys are the best in the whole amm world. I will be donating shortly. Thank you so much. It worked perfectly in boot loader mode to connect it to the usb. Than i was able to download the stock rom.
Now should i hard reset it or just leave it alone. Thanks a million.
Hey, good news.
I guess when you said before that it didn't say usb whilst in bootloader was because you weren't actually in bootloader no matter.
Glad you got it back up and running without having to flash via sd
If you flashed an official stock rom, don't bother hard resetting, no point, if you flashed a custom or cooked rom then normally advisable to HR after a flash but this does depend on the rom.
Cheers.
