Flashing radio rom, phone won't reboot?

I downloaded T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly from the FTP site and tried flashing it tonight. I'm not as addicted as some of you but I've flashed my phone several times before without any problems. This time it's not working...
I ran the updater that came in the T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly zip file and everything seemed to be going as usual. When it got to the point where the phone restarts and it is supposed to start flashing the rom, the phone shuts down but never comes back on. I need to pop out the battery in order to get the phone to come back on at all, but it works fine once I do that.
I also tried a copy of the RomUpdateUtility that I had used previously but the same thing happened. Not sure what info would be helpful in troubleshooting this but...

Thanks for any help you can give!

You may try to enter bootloader manually by pressing Camera+reset, then use the RUU.

What's the right sequence if I do it manually?
1. Hit Camera+reset to enter bootloader manually.
2. Start up RUU and go through the process on my PC.
OR
1. Start up RUU and get to the point where my phone won't restart properly.
2. Hit Camera+reset to manually bring up the bootloader.
Or something else?
Thanks!

The first version is the right way.

I was able to get this to work, but I found the answer in another thread. I had to take out my SD card, and then the RUU rebooted my phone as usual. Maybe I'm crazy but I don't remember ever having to do that before.
However... I tried forcing bootloader with the camera+soft reset trick and it didn't work... even if I took out the SD card. Does this mean there is something wrong with my phone?

If you're able to boot in to your OS then your bootloader is fine. If it wasn't your phone wouldn't boot at all. How are you trying to get in to the boot loader? Are you turning your phone off and pressing and holding the camera button and then using the power button to turn it on or are you using the soft reset hole? Use the power button if you weren't.
As for your phone not rebooting if you have your SD card in it, it sounds like it's time to reformat the card. Hopefully you have everything backed up off of it.

Thanks for your help... I *was* using the reset button. Now I can force the bootloader just fine.
My SD "seems" to be OK (I can see all the files and I tested a few for readability), but I'll give the format a shot for next time I flash.

p.s. When you try to format your SD card, it is recommended to use Raw disk editor (e.g. WinHex) to zero out first several bytes of the card, then repartition the card (1 partition) and format again (using FAT), then the bootloader will no longer thinks your card is a special one and toggle some strange action.

Herald wont turn on, only bootloader mode

my phone is hard spled. things went fine after hard spl, i was able to flash 2 roms, the last one was juststablev2. after one day my phone started to freeze, random crashes, finishing with a "white screen" and then resets. and after a couple of crashes the phone coulnt even load windows anymore, after the splash screen it continiued to reset. and now, the phone dosnt gets on anymore, it only goes to bootloader (not when you turn on the phone, it cant be turned on, only pressing cam button and resetting turns the phone on and you can only be in bootlader. ) i tried everything, readed almost everything in xdadevelopers, tried to flash with shipped roms, tried to flash with custom roms, tried to flash from pc, to flash from sd card (and yes i know everything to do becouse i did my earlier flashed with sd card, all went without any problem). it just looks the phone is dead, but can enter into bootloader. do anyone have any idea ? ill be realy very thankfull if someone can think something about my problem.
ps : my SPL is 4.70.yang

You can't flash your carrier ROM from bootloader mode via USB?

No, i can not. i forgot to mention that every rom install attempt is turning back with the error 244 : invalid model id.. Just one time, i did get a message, when i was trying flash with the juststablev2, it gave me an error about certificate. but not the same sd card, same rom, gives me nothing, just goes to bootloader mode after checking the sd card.

same problem with me(bendede aynı sorun war osman kardes:/))

Root Loop?

Hi all,
I downloaded the modaco update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip, and flashed my stock 2.1 (out of the box) nexus one rom, it worked well for about 9 hours, i plugged it into my car charger and when i took it off, it froze, and the touch screen disabled. Now im trying to reflash the rom and keep getting stuck at E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1, then E: Can't mount SD card
Any ideas on how i can get this working again?
Thanks

reinsert your sdcard, I have issues where the sdcard doesn't sit properly. This is assuming your using a2sd

i have a few times, same thing keeps happening, is there anything else I can try before I chalk it up to hardware malfunction and send it in to get a new one.... i reaallly dont want to do that
im also tried different sd card, and none of them have worked.

Well..... I wouldn't consider it to be a hardware malfunction yet.
1. Have you tried a non-apps2sd rom, like Stock Froyo
2. Have you tried completely reformatting your SD card on your desktop, while using a MicroSD to SD to USB converter or something of that sort. You'll need to delete all the partitions as you won't be able to see the EXT partiton in explorer, use disk manager
3. Have you tried using a different SD card?
4. Maybe you should completely wipe all the device in fastboot, maybe something is screwy, maybe even reinstall your recovery image
Try these things, then come back with results. We can diagnose issues after some of these troubleshooting techniques

i haven't tried formatting the card, but i have tried other cards with the update.zip flash, do you have a link to the stock froyo file
i think the problem is that the one i downloaded wasnt legit, and i have wiped the device in fastboot, the problem is that something is wrong with the touch screen, when it relaods from rebooting, it will get to the touch the android welcome screen and wont register any touch screen input, only volume up/down, trackball, and power button

okay, i tried formatting the sd card, and putting the update.zip file on it, and the same error occurred, when i tried to flash in recovery mode.

any update on what i can do to fix this?

Flash the original recovery image. You can find it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614057
You would do this through fastboot. Its easy, try that out

how do you do it through fastboot, i've only flashed through recovery

Put the img file on your sdcard, boot into fastboot, it should automatically check for the image and you should get a prompt asking for you to continue installing the image

no luck, it doesnt search for the image. When i enter fastboot, it just shows four options: bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down

Then I would say something is faulting with your SD Card or your SDcard slot. I would try and take a very small ammount of rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to the contacts of your SD card, but there is no way to get into the slot without damaging it. If you have to do a warranty replacement just state that yes your device is bootloader unlocked but you're a developer and it is necessary to unlock in order to better serve the android platform

Nexus One Unlock troubleshooting

I unlocked my Nexus One using superboot and since then my phone has been acting crazy, It is crashing every ten seconds, putting up air messages saying process system not responding, wont reconize usb when connected to computer and not reconizing a sd card installed. I cannot use the internet or make a phone call. Please respond if anybody can help.

if you installed a custom recovery, boot to it and use it to "wipe data/factory reset" and flash a custom rom
also, try using fastboot from bootloader (hold trackball and power to boot)

I can't flash a custom rom because it will not let me unmount the sd card to install it there. I think that when i was unlocking it some how got mounted and cannot access the sdcard.

I fiqured out what was wrong. I downloaded MoDaCo enhanced rom on a sd card from another phone and installed it in my phone and ran it then rebooted it and the phone is back to its old self. Thanks.

HD7 phone HATES ME...a liitle advice?

OK, so this HD7, was windows version 7.5 and bootloader 5.xx, so I downgraded since no SPL tools were working on the modern bootloader version. I had a 2GB SD card installed and formatted, and the phone was working. I took the 16GB out to try and wipe the card and format (linux or Nokia method I haven't decided) and I ended up getting HSPL loaded after successfully goldcard-flashing the stock ROM (TMOUS ROM). I was following Xboxmod's SD card recovery thread and installed the XboxMod ROM suggested in his thread, and it flashed fine- but suddenly the SD card is not recognized. I reinsert the 16GB and it sees it and all is good- but I want the 16GB OUT and reformatted, so this isn't going to work. So, I tried looking for a way to reformat the SD in HSPL mode or with goldcard and found similar complaints about non-working SD cards and 12MB only on SD card, figuring these may be similar issues I downloaded the tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263347&page=7
I ran it and went through the first time and just did a check to make sure everything was working and at the end it asks to wipe c58 (I think) from what I understood this was what fixed everyone's problem. So I did, and it didn't change the way the phone behaved, still boots to 'damaged storage card' screen. So I ran the tool again and chose the other option 'reflash c58' and it entered the 'Entering USB host mode' screen, immediately followed by "No Image Found!" with 'serial' across the screen. I unplugged it after some frustration and reboots etc and some failed SCHUIMG goldcard files that still prompted "No Image Found!" screen..then plugged it into PC, and it switches to USB mode, then I could flash a ROM (reflashed the Xboxmod ROM in hopes that it would at least get me out of the prompt for USB host mode), ROM flashed successfully but still boots to USB host mode, no matter what I put on the goldcard it says "No Image Found!". I'm at a loss as to what my next step should be here......except not to ever buy another windows phone in my lifetime..this is ridiculous- now it won't read the 2GB or 16GB SDcard..
EDIT after some more research it is the s58, not c58..I downloaded the s58 DIAG img and am going to see what that does loaded on the goldcard now..hope someone has had this issue before and get set me straight (btw I bought a cheap symbian Nokia phone, hopefully will unlock the SD cards but now to get the phone to use one...)

ok, I flashed every rom that was reported to work to get the hd7 out of USB host mode, I found the developer's thread, though I can't make heads or tails of the broken English at times, forgive my unilingual handicap..so apparently this is a common problem for people who clear the s58 by pressing the power button, even though the dev says it is simply waiting for the firmware to be flashed, I can't get it to recognize any ngh I mg file on the SD, using a mock xtc cable and a partitioned SD card in a USB reader, it worked to downgrade the phone, and it apparently sees it because it replies 'no image file' when I plug it in. It then goes into serial mode, and I can plug it into the PC and flash the rom with any signed rom and flip my spl all about, from 1.20 to 3.1 to 5.1 and back, and full roms seem to install but after every reboot...
''Entering USB host mode...''
The dev really did a disservice if you ask me by not putting a warning screen of any kind, and the action happens as soon as you press the button..no additional prompts, no time to pull the batt.. and now he has basically blamed those who used his software for having problems and refusing to assist because they didn't watch his video tutorial... :-\ doesn't seem right to me, when I got the sw I read no warnings, even though I've put 30 eyeball-hours on the forum over this beast!!
So...does anyone know WHY it is bootlooping into host mode?

ecj try it again

huh? I have flashed until I am blue in the face..it is a waste of time if I don't know what I mg file is damaged/missing..I don't even know exactly the extent of what clearing the s58 does so I don't know how to fix what I don't know how its broken? Anyone please...or alternatively someone with a riff box wanna buy cheap? Done with wp7..back to android..

Ok, well, not going to abandon this post even though the HD7 section looks dead here..
I have conquered the HD7 without using a riffbox, the problem was how I had made the goldcard, for some reason it worked perfectly well to flash the phone and to open the SCHUDIAG.IMG file, but after I wiped the s58 the phone somehow had higher standards..something I didn't anticipate.
The phone would only allow me to flash signed (that is stock) ROMs (I could do so by plugging in the goldcard while in USB host mode and I would see the 'serial' option appear, I could then unplug the phone and plug it into the pc and use a generic RomFlashUtility task to push ROMs to the phone, although I never got it to successfully flash all the way and stop bootlooping, I was able to flash full ROMs will SPLs of varying versions).
What finally cracked it was this- I had a 4GB microSD, partitioned into a 990MB SD, I had the CID and a goldcard img made properly for windows phones, here was my procedure;
Format the SD in fat32 and upon completion, remove and reinsert the card (I didn't think this would be necessary, but apparently it is)
Load goldcard tool and load img file and patch MMC (success card ___is now a gold card! etc) Remove card and replace!!
Place SIGNED ROM onto goldcard. I had tried this 100 times with different ROMs, from TMOBUS (which is the phone's original rom) to O2 ROMs, AT&T ROMs etc. The Europe O2 UK ROM finally cracked it for me, I placed it in the y cable expecting another "No Image File!" Error, but instead it said "Loading... Bootloader - OK etc." and began loading the ROM. This reset and scared me because it went directly into USB host mode and appeared to be looping again, but I let it do it's thing, and it went through the entire procedure and rebooted again, starting to go into USB host mode and load the same goldcard image again..
I'm screwed, I thought, sure it was bootlooping, so before it could do anything I snatched it from the y cable and removed the battery and replaced it and rebooted...the O2 screen came up!! I was out of the bootloop!!
It loaded up with my 16GB card inside, I then flashed it with RSPL/HSPL and loaded the XBmod ROM on it as per the SD Card recovery instructions, located the dev storagelock.cab file and pushed it through at the startup screen, all went without a hitch. Unlocked the SD card, reformatted, works like a charm..now there's the matter of this 2GB card that I had previously formatted to work but suddenly stopped working when I flashed it back to stock the first time before fubar-ing the thing...
Anyway, I know a long story but I wanted to leave this for anyone who bricked their phones into USB host mode bootloops using the SCHUDIAG.IMG tool on the goldcard, it is possible to come back if you find the right ROM and build your goldcard image correctly. Now..to get rid of this damn windows phone...
