I flashed radio rom 2.40 and it is screwing up my phone BIG TIME. i am using Faria's WM6 but this rom is killing it.
I cannot get to the bootloader screen even if I press the 2 buttons on the right and the Reset button but I cannot get to the loader screen.
Anyone know another way to get to the bootloader so that I can go back to the original 1.19 ROM.
Thanks,
Mike
ok, i read this in this forum because just 2 days back the same thing happened to my 8125... ok Charge ur phone with the battery still in it for 2 hours....then after thats done take out the battery and charge the phone without the battery.....Then pull the plug out and push back in for like 3 times (ur screen and orange led light should flash)...then without putting the battery back in hold the camera, power, and voice buttons at the same time until the bootloader screen comes up. Finally put the battery back in and unplug the charger, put the pc charger in and flash ur old rom....hope this helps, because it worked for me! Good Luck!

Thanks,

HA....all is good.
I just followed these instructions from this thread and got bootloader to come on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107
Basically, the only thing I did was remove my SD/MMC card and it went through no problem.
I flashed 2.19 Radio Rom back on my MDA so hopefully, everything is good.
Thanks for trying to help....

uh...Hello, title says it all. I just picked up an 8125 and liked wm5 but really wanted wm6. So, I did my research found the files and guides I needed and started to do my updating. Now the problem is when I did the RUU (Vista version) everything was going well. I got to around 90ish percent (it picked up speed towards the end) and then she crashed and went back to the boot loader screen. So I tried the recovery mode, only to find my phone keeps flashing on and off back light comes on screen goes to the 3 colored bars and then the light goes off and a few bars of the screen slowly fade out only to come back to life again. Now the odd thing is, I had 100% battery when I started (plugged in for 6 hours previously) and I hadn't had the phone go dead on me before. It's been a few minutes now and the blips keep speeding up (I suppose the battery is giving it's last few gasps). Do you guys have any ideas as to why this would happen (I didn't notice any short battery life issues previously)? Perhaps I should order a new battery and reattempt the flash? I apologize in advance if this has been answered previously or posted in the wrong section (I did do a forum search previous to posting). I would very much like to recover my latest investment. Oh yes, plugging it into my usb/power adapter will cause the blips to pick up pace a bit, though the screen has been silent for the last minute or two (while plugged in). Thanks in advance for any replies.
If you can enter the RUU then everything is ok(the 4 color screen which has "RUU" at the top right corner). I think your battery is dead, what you should do is order another battery or turn your phone off and plug the usb cable in (it should charge). After you got your power issue solved, flash the base rom (t mobile 2.26) then flash the rom that you wanted(remember your device must be SIM/CID unlocked)
Can't get it to charge which sucks. I just bought a battery and am just waiting to get it. I was in the middle of doing the IPL downgrade so I could do the CID unlock when it died. Well, I hope I can get past this.
Charge the battery with Wall charger or with some friends pda,get into bootloaders (multicolor screen) and flash the official rom to recover back.
Just flash the base rom as zabardast_1 said then use Wizard Service Tool to sim/cid unlock then do what you wanted
Just got my battery, luckily it came with a good charge and it finished the flash I'll see if I can hit the CID unlock with the button rom in WST if not I'll try zabardast_1's one.
Wel i just finished up with a successful flash to the tmobile 2.26 with xda mobile 6, runs great
I didn't flash my phone. At first it wasn't charging, now when I power it on i get the red, green, blue, white striped screen and it says serial at the bottom. Oh yeah, and it still isn't charging.

There is detailed info on how to fix this. FYI--it is always very helpful if you post the information you see on that screen, which is the boot loader screen. Is the device hard spl? What does the screen say?
sorry about that. the phone is completely dead now. My phone was never flashed, so it is running the default software.
Did you try charging your phone with the WALL CHARGER rather than USB TO PC ???
Was it a PRE-OWNED DEVCIE or BOUGHT UNLOCKED ON EBAY?
Try to get your battery charged first, troubleshooting does not make sense otherwise!
It is brand new, got it after my other tilt fell out of my window (don't ask). Is there anyway to charge the battery without the phone?
before the phone got stuck on the bootloader screen, it wouldn't charge the battery, eventhough when i went into the power settings it clearly said that the phone was charging
Did you get it from AT&T? If it is brand new, get a warranty exchange. It should work right out of the box.
I didn't just get the phone. I've had it for easily 4months now. Anyway to charge the battery without the phone?>

The obvious answer is that it is a defective battery, you need to try the phone with a new battery first.
Any re-flashing of roms to get out of bootloader must be done on a full charge.
I have never come across a stand alone battery charger.
Some cradles come with battery bays

There are cradles out there for the TyTN II which have a bay for charging the spare battery and they come with a power adapter - I know because I have one and it works well. Just google for TyTN II cradle. Mine was very cheap here in the UK and came with a spare battery as well (always usefull for a TyTN II owner).
Rather than jumping into automatic reflashing mode, once you've got a fully charged battery in it, try a hard reset using the stylus and buttons (as per the wiki here) first and let us know how you get on with that.
ok, i got my friends battery. tried hard reset, still getting the tri colored screen. screen has ruunbh in top right corner.
under that to the left is:
kais1*0
spl-3.02.0000
cpld-8
_ it also changes from serial to usb at the bottom as i plug and unplug the usb cable
Phone is working. just need a batter 50% full and reflashed it. thanks for the help guys.
Fxxking phone still will not charge.

Just but a cradle with a bay to charge a spare battery. Also, if you are charging via a wall charger, try using a USB to PC connection and see if its charging that way. It could just be a bad power supply. Try your friends charger. Im sure he will let ya borrow it for an hour or so.
Also, check to make sure you didnt somehow goof up the pins on your USB port on the phone. Many people here have made the mistake of putting the stylus in the wrong hole in the dark....maybe its possible you did the same ? If so it could be as simple as taking a safety pin or something and putting the pin back where it belongs.
Goodluck!
Ok!!!! Phone is back to the tri-colored screen and now my computer won't recognized the phone. But as i enter and remove the usb cable, it still switches from serial to usb.

Generally that means that you should be able to download a rom/radio combo and run the KaiserRUU. Go to HTC's website and download a new OS load for the tilt. Should fix ya up
how would this work if the computer doesn't recognize my phone?
Base drivers should be installed already on your computer ( activesync) . The RUU knows which com port to install through once USB is showing on the tilt...........
RUU = rom, right?
i keep getting connection error
I searched and searched. I was reflashing my AT&T tilt on a tmobile net, using the memory card method. I am not exactly sure what i did wrong. I flashed it once tonight and didnt like it even though it worked fine. I flashed it again and when I did the soft reset I think i took the memory card out to soon. Now the phone will not turn on at all. I love this phone, someone please help a brother out
Hard SPL
If I recall correctly, unless you were flashing the SPL, you just need to re-attempt the flash by engaging Hard SPL again.
It's been forever... but I seem to recall that with Hard SPL, you can always recover, unless you are in the middle of re-writing / overwriting SPL.
Erbid
(Tell us you do have Hard SPL installed.)
I cant get the thing to turn on at all I think I have tried every thing. I have flashed twice before without problem. But it just wont turn on now. I guess what im trying to say is I believe hard spl is on it. I ran boot loader from the phone using camera and soft reset. I accomplished the task once already and loaded the newest hyperdragon and didnt like it so about 10 minuts later i did the same thing and tried to install an old dutty one and the phone will not turn on. I loaded every thing and then reset. I think i may have pulled the memory card to early because i dont remember the phone saying it was clearing storage or coming back on. Sorry if this seems longwinded.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is the battery fully charged? Try charging for a few hours - check that the charge light is on etc. Normally with a bad flash, even if the phone is completely bricked, you will see something try to light up or go brighter on the screen - unless the battery is dead or the screen ribbon disconnected.
It worries me a bit that you 'think' you have hardspl. Either you do or you don't. The process is simple enough to do but has enough steps that you'd definately remember doing it.
Ok, so I think you are sorta right. I put a fully charged bat into the phone but still nothing coming on. Turns out the old battery was dead though. Strange considering it was being charged all day while in the car. phone still wont turn on. anyone know if there is someone who fixes these?

okay the phone isn't turning on but are there any led's lit up? (red, green, orange??) because that indicates there is still life in the phone and recovery is possible. This can be when you turn it on or on charge etc.
Very unlikely you bricked it. More likely a problem with the battery or charger not charging the battery.
When you plug the charger into the phone does a yellow light appear at the top to indicate the unit is charging? If not you have a faulty charger.
Can you get into the BootLoader screen? Try the following:
> Take you battery, sim card (re-lock the cover after taking it out) and storage card out
> make sure all contacts on the battery are clean and replace it
> Hold the camera button in fully and then press the power button for a few seconds (the Bootloader screen should appear)
If the Bootloader screen comes up then read the 2nd line down which starts SPL and report back with the version.
If no Bootloader screen appears then take the Battery out and plug the charging cable into the phone. Then with the battery still taken out, try to get back into the Bootloader screen by holding the camera button in while pressing the power button.
If that gets you into the Bootloader then then problem is with your battery.
If the phone still does not go into the Bootloader screen the problem is most likely with your charger.
thanx, i have since bought another tilt. I put the old battery in the new tilt and it was dead. I put the fresh battery in the old tilt and nothing yet. I didn't try the bootloader yet. I did try charging the phone on the old battery though and no lights what so ever. even with new battery on charger. I will get back to you on the bootloader trick
Bootloader trick didnt work. Thank you though. Looks as if I now have a parts phone that My wife hates me for.

Have you tried the charger from your new tilt in the phone that doesnt work? If you connect the charger then the charging light should come on at the top. If thats not happening but it works on your new tilt then the problem lies in the phone. You can try checking contacts and connections but if you have no life after swapping bits over from your new tilt to the old one then ur pretty much buggered. Can you not send it back as faulty or is it out of warranty?
No warranty. I bought it used. Im on Tmobile. Thank you for everything though. I did try the new charger and got nothing.
hey guys, my rooted 2.3.4 stock gingerbread optimus black doesn't come on unless plugged in to the charger. the issue started 3 days ago when i was playing virtual tennis sega and it was connected to the charger. at first my phone got very hot and then it restarted.i continued playing the game after it restarted and it later got hot and again went off, but this time blinking as it went off. i removed the battery and put it back but it remained same. i later removed the battery for a whole day and inserted it back the next day but it remained the same. i later plugged it to the charger and it came on and booted all the way to my home screen. i could even use the phone normally, but anytime i remove the charger it goes off. also, anytime i put on the camera while its plugged in it goes off and shows the battery icon charging. i have done a factory reset but its still the same. please help me.
Try another battery
I think it might be loose or dead
If it was software...it would have turned on
could be your battery, hard to tell though, what if it's pluged to the PC?

I had the same issue.. i lost the warranty due to "bad use" and send the phone to a repair center.. It has a broken wire of the USB connector.
If your phone still turns on while pluged to the computer you can use smartflash to go back to stock rom and this will get you back to warranty
phone still wont come on without charger
