HELP!!! phone not working

I REALLY NEED HELP...
i was updating the rom to 2.21 and i guess i accidently closed the program.. sooo now my phone turns on to this screen.. it shows 3 colors.. i can not do anything..
i really need help.. what can i do to go back?

Ok, there's a chance that you just turned your phone into a nice little paperweight however, I recommend trying two things. First, try to perform a hard reset by following these steps:
1: Press and hold both the Comm Mannager Button and the Voice Command Button
2: While keeping those two buttons pressed, press the Reset Button with your stylus
3: After about a second you will be prompted for confirmation. Press the Talk Button to confirm
If that fails, try performing the ROM upgrade again. If THAT fails...well either my assumption is correct or you're gonna need someone more proficient than me to help you ^_^

i tried doing that.. that didnt work..
when you try to install the rom again.. the phone has to be connected with active sync.. and right now its not.. but if u look at the screen on the phone.. it says usb.. but it doesnt connect..
so idk what to do now..
i have another mda..
this one has the original ROM and it works.. is there anything i can do?
please help

If you have the bootloader screen(rainbow) it should be retrievable.
Just to be sure you enter the bootloader screen hold camera button and turn on.
The device should be able to connect to your pc, but not by activesync.
If it wont try disabling any firewalls or antiviral on the pc and try again.
Once the pc recognizes your device - run the rom upgrade again.

Fan-freaking-tastic!!!!
Thanks meschle !!!!
I had loaded a cingular rom onto a tmobile thinking all HTC roms should work alike (i know idiot sign is already on my forehead) and the phone was working but very slowly and sync did not work...
I checked and I could get to the bootloader screen (rainbow) as you suggested and then was able to load the original firmware just fine... Phew.. Saved my having to explain a $500 brick to folks.. lol
I have a question on this however, if I want to upgrade the radio or something other than T-MOBILE rom.. what do I need to look for to be sure it will work on my T-MOBILE ?
Cheers
and Thanks

Wizard flashed and now dead?

I dont know what to do... Yesterday i flashed my wizard to wm6 mb rom, everything worked great but today, couple hours ago i tried to upload some stuff by activesync, suddenly pda disconnected and hanged, so softreset and nothing - its stuck on bootscreen where there is info about my components:
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gms 02.61.11
os 3.3.0.0 (was something like 10.xxx... but i flashed faria 3.5aku and now is 3.3)
i also tried to format but msg FormatFailed appear :/
it is possible to run in bootloader and charger also charge my wizard

Do you have a copy of the Wizard Love rom? If so, install that in bootloader mode. Remember to plug your USB cable into the phone.

I would suggest flashing back to a carrier aku2.x rom and ensure that your phone will come up properly on it. If it does then good, it's most likely not a serious hardware issue, if not then you might be out of luck.

looks like a brick to me..
So sorry m8.
I hope you can revive it !

Had similar problem with the Super rom.What worked for me was taking a back up on the memory card and reflashing from the card.Read the Wiki about details on how to go about it.

Try to flash the latest t-mobile ROM found on their site if all the suggested doesnt work..

@ DRIVEX
Try Hard resetting via the harware Buttons Softreset hole method. Here is how:
----------------------------------
While holding the Comm manager button and the Voice Command button, push in on the soft reset button (reset hole) once. Keep holding the Comm Manager and Voice Command buttons until there is a screen asking you if you want to clear all data. To commit, press the green send key.
Hope it helps.

I've done. I used method with mtty and i copied os to sd card, after that i reflashed using minisd card and it works. Thx for everyting, u guyz do great job here hehe

Hard to help someone that hasn't told us anything.
From the sounds of it your battery has died. Until you get a good rom on there, the phone will NOT charge. You will need to find someone with a similar phone (or maybe go to your cell provider) and get them to charge the battery at this point. Once you have the battery charged then try following this step by step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
If that doesn't work, then come back and tell us more about what happened, what your IPL/SPL is, what type of phone you have, if its G3 or G4, etc... People here will help, but not without information.

Not that I know of. Thats one of the reasons its recommended you start with a battery that has over 50% charge (personally I never flash with less than 100% in case something goes wrong). Not saying you didn't do that, but you appear to now be trying to work with a dead (or almost dead) battery, and that will only make things worse if you try to flash and then the battery dies in the middle (maybe not worse, but it sure won't help).
Like I said, you'll need to find someone with a similar phone or see if your local cell provider office will let you charge it (or swap it for a charged battery).

I got my ppc back up and I tried reflashing again and I have almost the same issue. It says format is successfull but then it gets stuck at the blue screen.

Someone help me please

I tried to update my rom and it was working, until my laptop turned off. (I forgot to plug in the power cord). So I tried it again, and it was stuck in bootloader and so I tried to update it using a Official Cingular Rom. But it gives me an error 260 saying cannot connect. I then tried to use mtty (one of the guides on here) but there's no USB option. I tried this on 3 different computers. Any suggestions please?!

To access mtty with USB option, you need to kill the wcescomm process (or disable USB connection in ActiveSync).

Thanks for the reply but I did kill it and disable usb connections. Stll no USB shows up. Im using a pretty new laptop with XP

Are you sure your Wizard is in bootloader mode when you start mtty?

It's always in bootloader mode when it's on since the Rom Update Failed ( computer turned off).
I really don't know why I have this problem. It was working before, but then it failed, and now it wont connect

Try to flash it on another computer.
I suspect there are problems on the USB ports (And/Or software issues) of your computer...

In my first post I said I tried to flash it on 3 different computers ( I meant laptops.) I dont know why it wont work now though. It worked yesterday

If it helps before it gives me the 260 error it says my USB device is not recognizable.
Please, does anyone have anything?
Im getting realy worried and my warrantys expired

help me stuck on bootloader
what do i do when i downloaded mtty? im am stuck on the bootloader screen due to a 98percent error but right now i cant do anything but stay on the bootloader.
I downgraded so im back to
IPL 1.01
and SPL 2.25.
HELP me get out this screen please? I've tried almost everything i could search on this forum. thanks in advance. and thanks for the hard work on the great roms you guys have!

Is there any other way to revive my device? I've been trying for the past 2 days and it's still not working
TheTop- Flash a official rom to it

I have tried official Roms like the one from the htc website, should I just keep trying even if I get error 260?

dunno if it helps, but make sure that you're battery is charged at least 50%. It seems to be one of the requirements that are needed when you normally flash with the RUU after activesync hookup. I know that when I tried flashing below 50%, the program wouldn't work for me and boot out.
if it's below 50%, look for a friend to charge it and try again.

Just bricked my Diamond

Obviously did something wrong in the ROM upgrade. I was trying to install Hard SPL, and it said it wasn't compatible with my phone's SW version - and now it won't switch on, which I find odd. Any ideas?

Have you tried to flash an original ROM already?
EDIT: That won't do if you can't switch your Diamond on.....

I have the Same problem .
Do you try Volume down + reset to go to bootloader ?

That's the problem when you don't have an SD card port. If the hard reset doesn't help, I guess that the solution would be to use something like mtty.

solution
Hi everybody! never give up, you can always repair it: try to find your original rom, connect your diamond to your computer, put it in bootloader and lunch rom update utility. Normaly it will work, i repared my last elfin doing that.
tell me if it work!
regards

Neither the bootloader works?

take the battery out for 30 sec, put it back, press volume down + power button and press with you stylus reset. If it goes in Boot loader Connect it to your USB and load the new rom!
Hope that helps!

yup!i try tat on a elf before,it works but not sure about TD

Complete and utter noob in help.

Right. I bought this phone (second hand, flashed with shifu 4.2 ROM {I have no clue what this means}) and it worked perfectly. It didn't come with a sim, so I went out and bought two. An O2 and an Orange one. The O2 one had problem's activating, so I placed in the Orange one. The phone somehow screwed up, saying iLockV2.exe is corrupt/could not be found. So, I contacted the seller, he told me to do a hard reset, which I done. The phone worked fine from there.
This afternoon, the phone froze, so I took out the battery and put it back in. The same problem occurred with the iLockV2.exe thing above; so I tried to do another hard reset, it didn't work. After that, I was stuck at the HTC screen where it says:
Code:
R 1.71.09.01
G 25.75.40.02.
D 3.34.shifu
.
I then took out the battery again, and the same thing happened. So I took out the battery once more, and when I pushed the power button it wouldn't turn on. So, I took the battery out and left it for about 4 hours, and put it back in, but now, I'm still stuck at the HTC boot screen (same code as above).
What do I do to make my phone work again?

First of all, stop taking out the battery when the phone is on because that really screws up the files. You are doing more harm than good there.
Try a series of soft resets to try and fix it. If that doesn't work, try a series of hard resets to solve the problem.
If no luck there, go into bootloader ( tri color screen ), hold in power and camera button at same time while doing a soft reset. The try flashing a stock Orange rom ( found in the wiki ) Then re-flash with shifu rom.

Not letting me hard reset, so I'm just going to reflash (Y). I hope I do this right :\

My computer can't read my phone when connected via usb D:

What does the phone do when you try to hard reset ?
When you put your phone into bootloader what does the screen say . When in bootloader, does the bottom of the screen change from serial to usb when you plug it in to your pc ?

The phone just soft reset's when I try to hard reset.
And yes, it does change from serial to usb when I plug it into my computer

Seem's like I was doing the hard reset wrong. Same thing is still happeneing, not getting past the part where it says:
Code:
R 1.71.09.01
G 25.75.40.02.
D 3.34.shifu
EDIT:
After 20 or so hard resets, I've moved onto the boot-loader, then it took about 5 minute's to load to the main OS. I think everything is sorted out now. Thanks

omg, this is getting really annoying now. The phone keeps on crashing at random interval's and can only be recovered by hard resetting :\

Well if it keeps happening try a different ROM just make sure you follow F.A.Q for ROM your flashing.
The thing that it's saying is corrupted is S2U2 and to me sounds like it just can't find the .lnk in Windows StartUp.

Flash OEM Rom before the new one and if you have 2GB or smaller SD Card flash using the SD Card method.

I'd go with what Philux-X says "to which is why i said F.A.Q" try and flash a stock ROM prior to flashing custom so as to clear nand.
The corruption due to stalling sounds pretty normal as the phone does not get to shut down via the usual method.
