Dear Folks at XDA,
I would like to ask for you help with my HTC Touch Pro 2. I recently tried to update it to the new AthineOS CHome TF3D WM6.5 Manila ROM v 1.0 and unfortunately I failed.
The problem is that my phone now freezes at the black startup screen with the Touch Pro 2 logo and the red codes at the bottom.
I've flashed the ROM several times before and never got this issue.
Due to the fact that the phone doesn't finish the boot-up and I thus I can't get ActiveSync I'm afraid I messed up my phone for ever.
Please someone tell me I got a way out of this, I'd appreciate it very much.
Greetz,

umm.... I don't think you can change the firmware just yet on the CDMA version of the phone... if you used a HardSPL that's available in the Rhodium forums then you probably used a GSM specific ROM on your CDMA phone... not sure what to tell you other than making sure you read the CDMA forum before trying something so risky. Best solution, unless someone knows how fix your phone in it's current state, is to toss it under your car and run it over and try to cash in on the insurance.
Problem solved!
Hey guys,
I got my HTC Touch Pro 2 functioning again. Thought I'd post the solution for other people who might encounter the same issue. I don't exactly know what the problem was. I'm assuming a non-compatible ROM or something, but after opening 30 tabs in my browser and reading my eyes out I found that if you put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it through usb to your computer you can flash the ROM without using activesync.
So I turned my phone off, pressed the power and Volume Down button simultaneously and then used the Stock ROM upgrade software from HTC to restore my phone
This solution beats the hell outta "run it over and try to cash in on the insurance" if I say so myself!

I am glad you have recovered the beautiful device; and thanks for sharing a working solution.

Good job!
big thanks for solution.
You just saved my life!!!
Don't get our hopes up! This is the wrong forum. CDMA TP2s can't be flashed at all yet.
This was a life saver post so a quick bump for anyone that needs it.
I unlocked my CDMA phone, installed a few roms -- decided to go back to my stock rom default (which was Telus) -- reinstalled and bam -- bricked.
Well, technically it's not a brick if you can get back into the bootloader to reflash. So no worries everyone. If everyone reads instructions well enough we should hopefully see zero "real" bricks. Or at most, just enough to only build bbq pit rather than a house.
I think my phone is truly bricked
I was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <Verizon>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker (I thought it would be fine), but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. Let me know if you need any more information.
my cdma is rebooting endlessley i reflashed stock rom and evorything. it seriously dosnt want to work. its most sadness... i am cashing in on the insurence. but they are going to send me a refurb..
spend 600$ on a phone got inurnce i hope the used one dosnt fail me.

I did the same exact thing to mt TP2. Same outcome.
We have to learn somehow....
That stinks man. If you did, then your phone is truly bricked. You are going to have to get a replacement or switch to another phone because there is nothing you can do to get it going again. I tried everything possible and eventually just ordered a replacement. I have it now and it's working beautifully, but needless to say I am a little scared away from any more unlocking or flashing for a while.
If you read carefully you dont have to be scared of flashing
I was a noob some time ago but before doing anything I took care of reading and understanding before doing nothing.
lesson learned
By now I have flashed more than 60 times on 3 diferent HTC devices and all were a succes
Hope you get your TP2 working again!
I hope I can get there
Someday I hope to be a flashing expert, but until then I will take it slow and read carefully. Thanks for your encouragement. When I actually get money to pay for the unlock for my TP2, I will let you know how flashing goes.
How do you keep the phone in bootloader? Mine goes right to the press volume instuction screen. Other than that I'm stuck on the black name screen,also my usb will not register in device manager. This was my first try at flashing.

Holy hell, you're not lying. Thanks for coming back to post your solution!
This post saved me at least a few hours of frustration and ever worsening decision making.
So it's totally true???
this situation hasn't solution;
I was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <SPRINT>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker (I thought it would be fine), but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.

If anyone could help, AND PLEASE somebody tell me , that it can be save it
;9
please help
i have the same problem. is there a way to save my phone?
So yeah I dont really know crap about most things, so I need help to prevent me from having to buy a new phone.
So a few days back my XT907M got the new 4.4.2 update. It worked fine for a couple days then it went into a boot loop. It had done this a few weeks before the update but it snapped out of it somehow.
It will not let me go into recovery mode, but I could get it to go into fastboot, so I did some googling and decided to try my hand at reflashing it. I had trouble getting my PC to verify a connection to the phone. I tried getting different drivers, but again i dont know what the hell im doing so i had not luck.
I took the phone to a place called World of Wireless here in Minneapolis to see if they could fix it. They told me that they went in and deleted two bad lines of code, but since the new fastboot files arent available for 4.4.2 that there was nothing they could do because the phone will not let them go backwards.
is there anything I can do, or am I just going to have to buy a new phone?
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
Okay so I've been looking for a LONG TIME trying to find a solution to this problem, but have yet to find one, so if this thread is a duplicate issue, please move it to where it needs to be.
I have a Metro PCS Kyocera Hydro XTRM. I rooted the phone and it was fine. I will be the first one to tell you i am a major newbie when it comes to smartphone tweaking. I have been playing with electronics for years, and can pretty much build a desktop computer but newbie when it comes to android devices. So upon suggestion from a dev, I downloaded an app from the play store "BootUnlocker."
As Soon as I rebooted my phone, BAM! It gets stuck on the METRO PCS screen and stays there. I have pretty much tried everything I can think of. I have removed the battery a billion times and tried to hard reset the phone numerous times as well. And now, it won't even turn on but the LED power light on the front flashes when it's plugged in. I was thinking of trying Odin but when I plug the phone into the computer's USB port....it does absolutely nothing...doesn't read a thing.
I am hoping someone will be able to help with this soon as I would really like to know how to go about recovery on a phone that is completely Hard Bricked (as mine is now). If anyone has any suggestions, or has recovered a hard bricked xtrm, I would be so very thankful for your input.
Hi there! I'm afraid XDA doesn't have any information on that device that I can find. So....you can ask in our general Q&A section. I will ask a moderator to move your post there.
This is where it will go....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help?nocache=1&z=581026349682360
The only other suggestion I can give is to try searching the web for info on your device.
Hope you get it worked out!
never mind
First things first... bear with me because the story is long
A friend of mine was trying to update his Xoom 2 MZ608 to some custom rom from here (I really don't remember which one was).... but it seems he is a very anxious person and tried to flash a MZ602 into this MZ608 tablet... well, unnecessary to say he bricked the tablet...
Few days later, after he struggled at all efforts he could find, he totally gave up and sold this device to me.... I really thought it would be an easy job, as long I'm used to do these things.... but, turns out, it wasn't =D
what is happening?
the tablet got stuck on Motorola logo with Dual-Core written below of it...
- i cannot access RSD, for some weird reason
- when I try to go to Android Bootloader, i got a "battery low, cannot program" message ((even if the tablet spent 2 days plugged))
- for some reason, SOMETIMES i can access using fastboot, but, as long something is completely messed up inside, the tablet can't read the battery values property and turn off way before i can send any command to it....
what you guys advice me to do?? I took this tablet into a Motorola certified shop here and they said me they don't do this kind of job anymore.... all 3 shops said the same thing....
any help?? =)
Cheers =)
Are you selling it? I would be interested in buying at a fair price.
I am the one compiling the Xoom roms again for Wingray. (using Schischu's sources)
Hi all!
This is new to me so I would like to apologise in advanced for this. I hope I've put this on the right section.
Go easy on me, I'm out of ideas.
Short Story
Unrooted HTC One XL is stuck in bootloop from failed software update. Phone has been in an infinite bootloop since 2013. Phone can be booted to HBoot mode.
Loss of data is not an option. Would rather the paperweight.
Google image of what is visible at HBoot attached. (Not my image)
Long story
I have my mothers HTC One XL (Telstra Aus), I've seen various name versions but this is the one the phones telling me so we'll go with it.
During a software update back in 2013 something happened which in turn messed up the update. God knows what. The phone has been in an infinite bootloop ever since. We had it sent away through our provider (Telstra). They basically shrugged their shoulders and returned it.
My mother couldn't care less about the phone itself, It's the photos.
The phone does not have usb debugging on, Is not rooted, nor can it boot to turn it on. Obviously.
After quickly getting sick of waiting for it to die before trying again the phone has been opened and battery is now "removable".
Cache cleared, reboot, soft restarts....Nothing.
Every year or so I scour the internet looking for a hail mary that may have come along. Dr Fone would be good if it catered to "Broken" htc's not just samsungs.
So I guess my question is, is there by any chance something new has come along on order to either retrieve the photos from the device? Or, different methods in which to get the phone out of its bootloop so the phone can be accessed that way? Without the loss of any data.
Sorry if this is a bit all over the place.
Thank you in advance.
