Laptop Blue Screen While upgrading (Do i have a New brick?)

I was flashing my phone which i have done a thousand times, however this time my laptop blue screened at 98%. Now my phone is stuck with the red, green and blue bars. It does however connect to the USB (usb shows up on bottom right).
What can i do now, is the phone shot?
Thx.
Eric

As long as you have the USB in the corner you are good. I would just flash it back to the stock ROM and then go from there.

I can't seem to re-flash i get error 300 when using RUU 2.00.1

Try first to normal routine, take the battery out, wait a sec, put it in again and start.
Connect and if your lucky it will start normal (1%) otherwise flash again.
Normally it should accept the ROM which you had on last.
Don't worry it's not bricked, happened to me at least a dozen time. I have a ASUS Laptop which overheats and shuts down when flashing....

I have removed the battery and reinstalled, then when powered up it did not start over again. Just boots back to the bootloader screen where it displays IPL 2.24 and SPL 2.24. When connected via USB it will show that. I can connect to the phone via MTTY however the set commands dont seem to work and the task commands give me an invalid command error.
Thx.

I MTTY to write a known good backup to an sd card from a wizard that was working, i got my phone to boot to the screen that asks to apply image from SD card. After about 30 minutes i get a message that says Sucess. Press any key. When i press any key i go back to the bootloader, when i power off and on i just go to the boot loader. I do notice that my IPL / SPL versions are different.
What's going on here? Is there a way to write the image files used in this process to the SD from windows so i can try a different image? When i try to view the card in windows now it asks to format it.
Eric.

Uh-Oh...I NEEED HELP Please :[

so basically, my phone will not turn on anymore...and i have nooo idea what happened!! It was working fine this morning..
not battery issues, didnt drop it on ground or in water, oh and when i plug it in it doesnt even seem to have any reaction of charging whatsoever..
ive been running cyanogenmod 4.2.2
theme: xxmonsterx+plastic (soo sexxy :b)
recovery: cm-recovery 1.4.
anyone have any ideas or suggestions?? anything is appreciated..
or am i DOOOMED. :[

If you can boot into either recovery or SPL, you're not bricked. If you can get into SPL, I'm assuming you have the SDK (or at least Fastboot) configured on your comp.
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

If you're using Linux, make sure you add the "./" in front of "fastboot" on each line.

^ he/she has 2 posts, try this:
Home + Power... do you get your recovery image like usual?
Do you have Cyans ROM still on the root of your SD card, if so, just flash it and reboot.
If you do not have his ROM still on the root, but can get your recovery, d/load the ROM to your computer, connect your SD card to your computer with adapter, move the file to the root, put back in your powered off phone, HOME+POWER and flash the ROM, reboot.

You might need a new battery...or a new phone Also, check the contacts on the phone miniUSB outlet for gunky buildup and the plug on your charger, see if that is gunked up too. may be a bad connection causing your phone to not charge.

So I'm sure this isn't the problem or he/she would have already reported back that they had figured it out. But...
Sometimes while tethered and running heavy traffic while charging if I forget to turn the screen off the battery will run so dead while the phone's still working that it'll die and I get nothing.. no led, no attempt to boot, nothing. I have to let it sit there and charge for about 10 miniutes then it'll boot up just fine, then.. the charging led begins to work again. I know bizzar but it happens.
Edit: I don't know exactly why it does it. The other reason could be that the processor gets too hot and the phone shuts down as a failsafe.

really good idea thanks but i tried and left it on the charger for almost an hr now and still nothing...
i guess its been officially bricked? :/

This problem happened to be before too. My phone started up and you could only see the backlight. the screen would still stay black. I found out the Problem was the Black flex cable that connets the Mainboard to the LCD. I replaced it and it started working again. Hope that helps your problem..

Please Help Me

So after an unsuccessful ROM flash my phone was stuck at bootloader for quite sometime...i had a micro SD card reader and inserted it into multiple computers running XP, vista and ubuntu...they all registered that i had plugged something in but wouldn't show it as a disk drive...now i've already figured out how to access it but i put a new ROM image on it and tried to reflash but after the flash when my phone booted up it simply switched itself off... when i switched it back on it went back to the bootloader and tried to reflash the ROM. mid flash it just switches itself off... I realize that this is probably due to the charge level of the phone so i plugged it it but it will be off and charging then it will suddenly decide its got enough battery power and boot up to the bootloader screen until it dies again...how do i stop this vicious loop

can you put your phone into bootloader mode (power and vol down together whilst powering on)? be a good idea to remove your sd card first.

I can't really manually put it into bootloader mode, but when the phone thinks its charged enough it will start up itself and go into bootloader mode

Does your phone say "RUUNBH" in the top right corner? Have you yanked out your battery then put it back in before charging? Those are the two things I would try. And BTW, in the future you shouldn't create two threads in different parts of the forum.

yea im sorry its just my phones been down for days and its really bugging me and i just want to get this fixed and my phone does say RUUNBH in the top right corner and i have yanked out the battery waited a few seconds for good measure and put it back in before charging...it still just loops into bootloader before dieing and charging again
Phone started up again this is what it says in bootloader
RHOD300 32 M SS-BC RUUNBH in top right
SPL-0.85.Olinex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MircroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
then it has some numbers and code error under it with try again
then it says 218,842 calibrated

Okay, the problem is that the RUU flag is set, and the device won't do anything until that is cleared. What you need to do is establish a connection via MTTY. Follow the instructions here about how to connect to your device via MTTY. Once you get an MTTY connection established with your device (it may take awhile, MTTY is quirky like that), simply type
Code:
set 16 0
You may need to manually soft reset the device. Then, I highly recommend flashing to a stock ROM using the microSD card method, before flashing another cooked ROM.

How to flash phone without activesync or access to memory?

My phone got wet and now it starts up but gives me the black screen where I can press volumeup to hard reset, but it doesn't respond when I do this. I'm trying to flash it or do something to fully revert it to a brand new state, but I obviously can't use active sync and cannot get access to the phone's internal memory. How can I do anything?

flash through sd card. good luck with that. Hope you did try the phone completely

I was hoping there was a way to flash with just the sd card. Would you be kind enough to at least link me to where I could find instructions for this?
The phone is dry. It starts up fine and keeps on, stuck at that black screen. It's been a while since I got it wet.
Thanks.

Well it won't matter because it has water damage. Are the little stickers inside pink? If so then they will charge you for any repairs so it won't matter what ROM you have on..

Who will charge me for repairs?
I don't recall ever saying that I will give it in for repairs, because I am aware of the voiding of the warranty when the wet seal becomes pink. Because I realize all of this, I decided to give it a chance flashing the phone and starting it with a new install to see if that would work, as my last chance to get anything out of it.

Thanks, but I checked those instructions out already, and they assume that I am able to use activesync with the phone. The phone doesn't boot far enough for activesync on my computer to recognize it. All I can do it insert the 16gb microsd card into my usb card reader and put whatever I want on it, and then back into the phone. I would think there is a way to just put the rom onto the sd card and put it into the phone, and then press some kind of bootloader startup key combination so that the phone goes straight to the installation.

If you take a look a little further down the very same page that SonyEX1 provided, you will see this:
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
As has been stressed many a time on this forum, please make sure that you read through all of the instructions (entire page) very carefully prior to flashing.

Good luck.

Thanks, I noticed that note at the end of the post, but the only rom that I think I would be able to flash is the stock one, because I don't have HardSPL. I can't get HardSPL because I can't activesync the phone to my pc. So I pretty much need the stock rom in nbh format to try anything at all.
I noticed that when I enter the bootloader and plug the phone in to my computer via usb, the computer detects something and says that an htc device is attached, but microsoft activesync still doesn't recognize it and the phone doesn't show up in my computer.
So I guess the search is on to find an .nbh format for the stock rom.

I am not sure what carrier you are on, but if you download the stock ROM from whichever carrier you need (or the generic HTC ones if you have an unbranded one) it should be an .EXE file.
You should be able to right-click on the .EXE and extract the contents into a temp directory using any decent compression software (I use 7-zip). There should be a RUU_signed.nbh file that you can rename, copy to your microSD and manually flash from there.
(And if you already didn't know, you enter bootloader mode by first powering off the phone, hold down the VOL Down key, and power the phone back up while holding the VOL Down key. You should then see the tri-color screen above. This part isn't mentioned in the instructions above and assumes you already know how to get into bootloader mode.)

Thanks. I didn't know that you could extract .exe's, so I have been searching and found someone's uploaded stock rom in .nbh format. I put it on the sd card and went to the bootloader with it. Right now, It's been at a white screen that just says "Loading...". This has been going on for the past 5 minutes without changing. I don't know how a successfull rom flash is supposed to look like, so I don't know if it's working or not.
Is it supposed to be moving or what? How long do I wait before snatching the battery?

UPDATE:
I guess the stock rom that I tried previously was faulty or something, because it was hung on the loading screen, so I downloaded the TMOUSA one from their website, extracted the NBH, and put it on the SD card. Everything started looking really good because I had a progress bar and it said something like Radio OK and something else was OK and it was loading the ROM, and then all of a sudden it rebooted into the bootloader, gave some kind of error that I can't really read because it is written on top of the other text in the bootloader, goes into the Loading screen to begin installing the rom, and then reboots again. This is the loop that takes place right now.
It seems like the problem is a dead battery though, because it started flashing fine that first time, and now the phone won't even turn on unless I plug it into USB power from the wall or a PC. But when I do plug it in, it just goes through this bootloader loop. So here is where I'm stuck.

It seems like I need a fully charged battery to attempt to reflash the stock rom or install any other rom because when the phone is in bootloader, it doesn't charge the battery, and I have no means of charging it.

you should be able to charge te phone when it is completely off/ Pull the battery out, put it back in (do not power it up), and charge it over night (or at leastfor a couple hrs)

If the phone was fine before you got it wet, what makes you think re-flashing the stock rom will make it better?

I once crashed my ROM while flashing and wasn't able to do at least anything.
There was no USB-Connection or something else.
At last I entered the bootloader and there the USB-Connection was working and my Computer recognized the Mobile. So I suggest you to try this. To enter the bootloader look for any tutorials around here.
Edit: Aaargh, havn't seen your last post, so forget about it

Because as I've mentioned previously, after getting wet, the phone boots up into a black screen where it tells me that I can press the VolUP button to hard reset or anything else to soft reset. Pressing any keys at that point doesn't do anything and I can only shut it down by taking out the battery. So I decided to at least try reflashing the rom. It looked like it was installing fine with the last power the battery had, but now I have no hope.

i have heard of shops that charge batteries up but never seen one. I suppose you may be able to buy a stand alone battery dock if they do one for the Touch Pro 2. Dont you know anyone with the same phone that could charge it for you?

No I don't really know anyone with the same phone. I've called 4 shops and all said that they either don't have the same phone to put the battery in to charge, or can't perform this kind of service. I ended up taking apart a usb cable and formulating my own usb charger. Charging right now, will report on how this worked out.

Ok. This is the kind of device i meant.

KAIS130 unabled to communicate with PC

Hello everyone,
I am having problems to connect my Tilt to my pc.
First of all, when I power it on, the screen goes black and says "smart mobility" .. so far so good; but after a few seconds it starts again and loops endlessly. At that point the only way to power it down it to take the battery off.
I installed the drivers manually (Vista) and hoped to be able to use mmty (after pressing "camera button" and " power button") but I never managed to get a connection.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my HTC tilt back to a running state?

Sooo, this only happens when connected to the PC or all the time?

It happens all the time even when not connected to PC

I forgot the most important part ... this happend since I tried to update windows mobile (source downloaded from HTC official site).

Hard reset?

if you mean holding down both green and red headset button+pressing the reset button, yes I've tried that but didn't change anything.

It went through a whole process and nothing changed? Try to flash back to an oem rom. (seems to be the new popular suggestion).

ok but how can you do that if you can't get to connect it to a PC via usb?

By following the proper steps to flash a phone either by usb or SD card.
The phone doesn't need to be fully booted to flash.

Ok, that's good news for thanks.
If by any chance you have a link to a tuto in order to do that you're welcome. Otherwise I'll google it and get back to you to keep you posted.

It's all in the sticky

Thanks I shall try to night

Thank you for your time. I finally managed to do it and my HTC is back to running.
The only problem I had trouble to solve (if it can be of any help to anyone) is that I had to unrar the *.exe which I didn't could be done.
Thanks again
