NBD 7.9 & Boot problem

Hi,
I have installed ~2 weeks ago NBD 7.9 and everything was ok. Today I have restarted my phone to change my SIM card but my phone could not start.
I see HTC logo but phone freezes after having NBD logo and nothing happens.
As you can image because of could not connecting to the phone, I can not also update ROM.
Any tip to recover my phone?

Did you try a hard-reset?

Can you explain what exactly you mean? Probably I do not know what is hard reset on these devices.

Ok I have found hard reset on the page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WizardFAQ
But now there is no power also. I also could not boot anymore.

* Press and hold both the Comm Mannager Button and the Voice Command Button
* While keeping those two buttons pressed, press the Reset Button with your stylus
* After about a second you will be prompted for confirmation. Press the Talk Button to confirm
----
oh I see, you found it.
the hard reset set your phone to the "original state" of the ROM (in that case right after you installed your NDB rom).
what do you mean there is no power?
Could it be your battery is empty and needs to re-charged?

There is no response on the phone now.
I suspect battery is empty but when I try to connect power cord no response also.

If you are sure your battery is not empty try to get into the bootloader mode:
depending on the type (G3 or G4) follow the instructions:

especially step G3.2 or G4.2 respectively.

When I tried to connect to power while the phone is off it takes some seconds before response. Have try.

I have a G3 device (Vodafone VPA II Compact). But there is still no response.
I think it is power issue now. The bad thing is that I have only USB cable at home and the main power charger at work now.
Are there any way to charge with USB cable when phone is not open?

I would suggest following:
1. ensure your battery is full
2. do the hard-reset again - this may solve your problem already
3. if not, try to get into the bootloader mode (see the thread referred to above for instructions)
4. follow the instructions to re-load the ROM

I just tried ... while your phone is off the USB connection to the PC should provide you the current .. at my case the WIZARD starts to charge .. have a try.
----------------
the red LED light on the right above the display indicates the charging .. and turns green once it is fully charged, so in any case, you should see a light, although it takes 3-5 seconds after connecting to the USB.
Does it work?

I have tried and there is no light. As I remember before it was not possible if you are not connected via ActiveSync.
Anyway, I can try Monday at office.
Thanks for your help!!!

You're welcome. Good luck for Monday. Hope it will work out. Not much help yet from me but I will be around here.

This was driving me mad as well. I had to put it into bootloader mode (holding camera while resetting) and flash back to the Tmob 2.26 and then reflashing nbd.
The trick is to disable the HTC home plugin before you install any other apps. From what I understand its to do with some mysterious dlls.
I found this out on Friday and so far I haven't had any problems but I guess its still early days.
Good luck!

OK. It was a power issue and I could make a hard reset at office and it works again now.
I will try NBD 8.1 and see the difference.
Thanks for your help a lot!

good to hear it is working again!

I know this is a bit of an old phone now, but I'm hoping someone might be able to help...
When I switch the phone on, it gets to the Windows Mobile screen and then just hangs. After a few minutes, it turns itself off.
So far, I've tried the following;
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. Remove battery, put on charge (red light), replace battery (amber light), hard reset
4. Removed battery for 2 weeks
5. Praying
6. Swearing
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thx

Hi
You could try starting the device in bootloader in order to re-flash the ROM, or flash a new ROM. Methods for this are:
1) Press the soft reset hole button whilst holding camera button fully in.
2) Remove the battery, then re-insert it and switch the device on by pressing the power button but again ensuring the camera button is depressed fully.
3) Remove the battery and re-insert it. Don't switch the device on but plug it into a Windows PC using a USB cable whilst, you guessed it, depressing the camera button.
If you can get into bootloader (three coloured screen with some yellow writing) then you can probably reflash the device. It sounds like a software problem not a hardware problem but I could be wrong on that.
If you can't get the device into bootloader mode you have a problem that is more complicated to fix, about which I can't advice.
Best wishes

Hi,
Thanks for the reply....I couldn't get your method to bring up the bootloader to work, but tried pressing Power and OK while doing a soft reset.
This brought up a screen with 4 horizontal bars - red, green blue & white. Text at the top says;
HERM100 (text in white)
IPL-1.01
HERM100 (text in yellow)
SPL-1.04
In the white bar is the word 'Serial'
Does this sound right?
Then it just hangs on this screen - is there something else I am supposed press on the phone, or do I do something via my laptop with activesync etc?
Sorry for the additional questions, but I've never had to do this before.
Thanks

An update....
After noticing that 'No GSM' appears on the splash screen, I have now found this page which I think might answer my questions.
I'll have a go at this tonight

Have you tried holding in the camera button then plug the phone into the usb port
you should get multi color screen..then you can flash

yes i tried

LED lights greens also dont work

anybody help me ?

Is the battery OK (3,6-4,2 V on the outer pins)?
Does the charging of the battery still work?
- via AC plug or
- via USB (PC on)
If not: Could still be broken connector on the PCB, but this is very rare as the construction is really solid there. To check, have the AC or USB (PC on) cable connected and bend it upwards a little in the socket, hold for 5 seconds to see if the charging LED goes on.
If also this does not give any sign of life, so neither any LED nor the bootloader are visible at anytime - then the S710 has passed away, may it rest in peace :-( Possibly sell it for organ transplant at ebay, just tell honestly there what works and what does not.

battery its ok

the charging of the battery still work AC plug USB PC on ok

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2913636&postcount=1 if this help me ?

Not so much strategy visible yet to rule out all options, several failures are possible - please comment all sections:
1. SIM cover switch defective/considered "open":
After switching on, the green LED goes on - then off again, no LCD visible. No further signs of life (see also 2.). Close and open the SIM cover a few times, try inserting a SIM and close door, try to switch on again. Usually only happens if you disassembled the device.
2. LCD defective / disconnected upper half of device:
After switching on, the green LED goes on - then off again, no LCD visible (just like above). To check if the device is on, but you just can't see it, connect it to a Windows PC with Active Sync and see if the PC connects. USB connections at AS must be enabled. This error comes sometimes after disassembly, but also when devices are just heavily used in slide-out mode.
3. Flash of a cooked ROM failed:
The device will boot into Bootloader (3 color screen) automatically. You can force this by: switch off device, hold down (and keep holding) the camera switch while connecting power (AC or USB). The orange LED will shortly light up and go off again - the 3-color screen should be there. To check if you are connected via USB, use terraterm pro or another USB capable Terminal program (disable USB connect in Active Sync before) and press enter. If you see the CMD> prompt - bootloader is alive.

[Q] Totally bricked Kaiser!

Hi XDA-devs!
I've been going through this forum for quite a while now, but sadly I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem
I got a Kaiser 130 which isn't performing very well, actually it isn't performing at all.
Here is the problem:
Fully charged battery (not the problem)
I go push the powerbutton
Green light comes on and no more than that.
What I've tried so far:
Pulled the battery
Pulled the battery and pressed Power for more than 30 seconds.
Pushed the reset button while on (Turns out the green light)
Reset + Cam + Power (Turns it on again)
Power + Softkeys (Turns out the green light)
All sorts of battery dismounting and mounting, which suddenly gave a blink of a red light for a change.
Well this can be fixed! (initial thought)
BUT
I am unable to make the device do anything at all when it comes to USB connections in the way that the device gives no indication to Windows or Linux at all, so how am I supposed to get through to the device with frankenkaiser, MTTY or anything else?
It gives no indication to Active Sync, Windows Mobile Device Center or "The upgrade to WM6.1" HTC program.
The USB-connection is just not working!
The phone looks perfect and has never been used, but has been bricked for more than 2 years before I got my hands on it. It comes from an institution and was never used because it didn't work, so no damage has occoured.
It holds the original rom and has never been modded or anything.
So is this device simply out of my reach or am I missing something?

Weird problem with Nexus S...is it dead?

Hello everybody,
recently my brother's Nexus S started having problems. The battery life was awful and 4 days ago the power button stopped working. We were out, so i disabled the lockscreen. That way pressing the volume button would turn the screen on. This "trick" worked quite fine until yesterday, when the phone shut off, I don't know why (maybe the battery went out?). I tried to turn it on again, but there was no sign of life whatsoever. Not even volumeup+power button produced any effect. I then read on this forum and it looked like the motherboard is gone. Thinking that the phone was gone, I searched a way to recover photos and text messages from the phone(always remember to set a periodic backup). After a couple hours of pointless research, I gave up and went to sleep. I turned off the lights and I saw a flash. It was the Nexus S. So I filmed it and uploaded to youtube. Here's the link: http: // youtu.be/oGSVjElAwq0 (remove spaces) You can see the screen blinking a couple times(around 0:07 and 0:27). Maybe the phone is not completely dead and there is a way to recover that files or even save the device. Unfortunately I'm not expert, so I don't know how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. A big thanks in advance.

Hi, please try to answer these questions. Might help solve your problem.
When you plug the phone in, do the capacitive buttons light up?
Does your phone get recognized on your PC when you plug it in via usb?
Are you 100% sure this is not just a battery issue?

Hi, thanks for your time
-No, the buttons do not light up.
-No, the phone does not get recognized by the computer(i tried Windows and Ubuntu)
-I can't exclude a battery problem, but ,even that, it should power up when connected, shouldn't it?
