Upgrade Problems..Need Help

Hello to anyone with knowledge on this topic. I recently was upgrading to a new rom and while in the upgrade process my computer shut off and now my MDA when it turns on is showing a red, green, and blue screen and I was looking around on some way to fix this. I tried reloading the rom again and it doesnt seem to work and gets stuck at 95%. If anyone has any advice on how I can fix my MDA, it would be awesome. Thank you in advance.

The rainbow screen is the boot loader (This is a good thing ). It always helps if you tell us what numbers show up for IPL and SPL, and what error messages you get. Note that ALL roms will pause at a certain point (usually around 80% or 95%) and can look stuck / frozen for up to 10 mins (usually no more than 5 mins, but I had one that sat for well over 5 mins on 96% one time). So be patient and wait for it to finish or for an error to show up on your PC that something failed.
Since you are at the boot loader (rainbow screen), just go grab an official rom from your provider and flash that with the phone sitting at this screen (if you are CID unlocked then you can go grab any official rom, like the TMobile 2.26 Ship ROM). Once you do that, you are good to go again
If for some reason, that doesn't work (99% of the time that WILL work though), find the Wizard Love ROM and try that one as it seems to get people out of sticky situations that sometimes other roms can't get you out of (but do an official one first).

BTW: I love your username... One of my all time favorite movies... And no, I'm not the six fingered man

Thank you very much. It seems to have worked and I am back to the T-mobile 2.26 rom. I guess its all in the trial and error. Im new at this stuff and its good to know there's help. Take care my friend.

Yeah, great movie
But, his name was Inigo not Indigo
You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Indigo is one of my fav colors, I know how it is supposed to be spelled but he's quite the popular character and getting the name is tough, unless I wanted to be inigomontoya3948576849.4

Currupt Programs and failed boots

Hi , ive had the issue with randomly being stuck in the SPL a few weeks ago but the problem seemed to just go away by itself . Yesterday i flashed a ROM and noticed that after the first or second reboot i was getting stuck at the boot screen (Not the SPL the screen after that with the info in red) .
Today i flashed back to my current ROM and noticed the same problem again when installing programs one cab would fail and all other installs after that . When i rebooted i got stuck at the boot screen (again not the SPL)
so after another try i finally got all programs installed and rebooted but when i reached the today screen my background was gone and i got an exception about the programs in the startup folder not being found .
After opening file explorer it seems most programs are corrupt and will not run . Has anyone got any ideas on what i should try to fix this ?

Update im afraid its not good news i tried to work around the problem with sprite backup but things seem to have got worse .
Im now permanently stuck at the smart mobility screen with my radio information being displayed in red . Ive tried flashing a new rom and hard reseting which is all perfectly stable but i just cant get past the smart mobility screen .
Whats weird is the led on the left is blinking green , Any ideas before i downgrade (tiltscreen) to a Sony X1 (Dpad and hardware buttons)

Similar...May Help Some

Hi there,
We didn't get there the same way, and I don't have the 'blinking green' LED, But I've got a similar "stuck" problem on the Forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508100
I'll follow yours and you can check this one out...I may be getting some help from 'higher powers' soon if I don't find a resolution on my own.
Wish I could actually ANSWER your question, and I'll let you know if I find anything else myself...

Am ok this is weird everythings back to normal now I turned it on this morning and it boots up fine no problems installing programs or anything .
Confused

That's Good...Though Agreed Confusing...News
Wow...so, good for you! I'm happy that your's did not proceed as mine has...or better said, has NOT.
Wish mine would just 'turn on and boot up fine', but it appears that I may be Murphy's bastard child.
Murphy has a theory of relativity that has nothing to do with Mass or the Speed of Light...
It simply states that if you're a relative of Murphy's, it WILL happen to YOU...hence the offspring reference.
On the other hand, confusion can be good...I'll bet it had you searching the Forum and finding out stuff you didn't know.
If nothing else, maybe you found some cool new ways to get into completely different kinds of trouble!
Glad to see your out of the glitch, hang in there...not by your neck!

Comments / Suggestions / Guidance Required

Hello all,
I just got myself a Touch HD after waiting for a long time. I'm excited to be here and get to know a lot about my device after extensive reading on this forum. Its really well done and very very resourceful. Kudos to all you guys who are making this happen
Now, coming back to my device .. Ive had certain issues with my device and I wanna know from you guys if flashing to another ROM is necessary or not.
ROM Version : 1.18.723.3
Radio Version : 1.09.25.14
Touch Flo 3D version : 1.3.356******
My Concerns at the moment
1. TouchFlo 3D is not smooth at certain times and it gets stuck for a couple of seconds and its annoying.
2. Messaging screen hangs if i try to type my message quickly.
3. Phone takes about 3-4 seconds before it starts ringing.
4. I cannot flip through the mails from the touch flo 3d view.
5. The phone is constantly trying to connect to EDGE network. Even though i turn it off it still happens.
What I've done to correct these after referring the forums.
1. I'm not sure if I can update just the Touch flo 3d to a higher version without updating the ROM. So I havent done anything yet
2. I've tried to tweak the registry and also used HD Tweak to correct the ringing problem but still no good.
What I've installed on fone so far ?
1. I've got S2U2, HD Tweak , and some apps for Windows Market place.
What I really need ?
1. A smooth touch flo 3d version like the one for TP2 Sprint version [Its awesome]
2. Ring without delay
3. Smooth and easy messaging.
Now please suggest if a new ROM will fix these problems or I could just do away with cab files that could fix this problem ?
If a new ROM is required , based on "What i really need" can you suggest something which would get me close to or exactly the same ROM which is running on the TP2 Sprint version.
PS : I typed out a long description , so please excuse me if I went out of track and if somethings are unclear
@ MODS : I just realised that I may have posted in the wrong section. Please move it if necessary.

Hey,
I guess you're using a stock winmo 6.1 ROM. IMHO the stock ROMS are not as fast as some of the cooked ROMS found here. Difference between winmo 6.1 and winmo 6.5 is just personal taste but I prefer the 6.5 because of its finger friendly UI. Drawback is most of the ROMS drain the battery faster compared to 6.1. Maybe you can try a 6.5 ROM and see if you like it. I like Energy and Xannytech Roms, but again, that's personal taste. You can just flash a few and see what u like best.
As for the GPRS problem, some ROMS have cooked in apps for this, but I like WM Longlife as u can customize alot, ranging from completely disabling GPRS to not put it on when roaming. I hope I helped u a bit

Well , it is a stock rom as i just got this device last week. It was shipped from HK.
About flashing ROM's to my device , im still a lil too skeptical as I'm running Windows 7 and most of the flashing guides have reference to either vista or earlier versions of windows.
I also remember reading about a guy trying to flash a cooked rom and he was running Windows 7 and he claims to have bricked the device and it just refuses to turn on.
I'm still going through the wiki and downloading all the necessary tools required to flash my device. Once i'm a confident and comfortable I will go ahead and try out all the ROM's. I'm sure to get addicted to it.
And btw, if i flash the ROM to some cooked ROM and I decide to go back to stock ROM , will pushing the tiny reset button under the battery get my fone back to stock ROM ?

Like you, when I first got my HD, I was a bit concerned of bricking my device if I flash to a custom ROM. But let me tell you, with the stock ROM of yours, you wont see the full potential of your HD...I too experienced those things you mentioned and suffered for a while...if you feel its too early for you to flash, then just check some possible fix for your concern in cabs. I believe the HTC site has a fix for this typing delay bug, not sure about the ring issue.
But if you think its time, then read this Dummies Guide and just a heads up, flashing can be very addictive...so GET READY TO BECOME A FLASH-AHOLIC!

Spot on ! I'm on XDA like all the time - @ work , @ school .. you name it .
I want to learn as much as possible before I try experimenting anything.
I did try all the patches that HTC has offered but , it hasnt fixed it. HD Tweak was really good and to some extent has solved my problems.
Does Windows 7 have anything to do while flashing the ROM , I mean do i need to take care of anything before I go ahead just in case in the future ?

If you use HDSPL to protect your device then you are fine with Windows 7. However, if you use USPL then look <<HERE>>. Once again if you use HDSPL, then skip above drivers and follow <<HERE>>

Wait a second. Have you tried installing some 3D drivers first? And do you realize that Windows Mobile 6.1 is FASTER than 6.5?

I havent installed the 3D Drivers as yet. Does it enhance the performance of TF3D ?
I havent tried the 6.5 yet as i'm still on the stock ROM , but after i saw a video on youtube of Dutty's 3.9x turbo running 6.5 , i really want to try that ROM as it looked really smooth and fast.

Sleep of Death" on (almost) every recent custom & stock ROM

Wouldn't open up a thread for this question but any custom ROM (RECENT EDITIONS) I've tried (NRGZ's, Sergio's, Ark's, Athine's and some others) for several days now have the "dead aka black" screen issue. Tried to find an answer in the original ROM-threads but haven't got any substancial responses. It seems like only few people have these issues. This would make me think the problem is my hardware (German Generic TP2) but the older ROMs of same chefs then run normal and without the dead screen issues.
Please any ideas, solution suggestions or experience share?
Thanks! Ibster
Edit: confirmed solution method described in post# 10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5934002&postcount=10 . Thank you agent 47 big time for the tool you provided!

Is this the same as the "Sleep of Death" (SOD)? In which the phone won't wake from sleep/suspend state and has to be soft-reset?
If not, what's the symptom exactly?

It's because chiefs have updated their XIP. Ask them to cook a rom for you with the old XIP from stock HTC WM6.5 Sense 2.1 rom.
Ach, that's just my theory based on my experience. I might be wrong, so keep that in mind.

I have a similar issue, but not exactly the sleep of death
A lot of times when I unlock the phone, Sense would not show up, only the taskbar and occasionally the bottom bar
Everything is responsive, the taskbar notification works, hardware buttons works, but not the sense part in the middle
This usually happens when I'm having an SMS conversation
I run this setup most of the time:
WM 6.5.x
Sense 2.5
HD mini lockscreen with Smartlock 2.0F or Lockdevice 1.6

Same here on the SMS black screen

I just started having this problem with the newest Leo Cell Pro, I have not had it with any NRG or Deep Shinig ROMS though but I do like The cell pro details and the others are not without there faults. I like your screenshots and I can hardly wait for that new white theme to come out. I think it will make my phone so much better outdoors and enhance the Windroid look I am workin on.

Yes....interesting that I've never had this issue on Energy's...my guess is he doesn't cook in the latest HTC SMS client which can be unstable at times
Are you talking about Elcondor's GTX theme? Yes that is a very awesome theme
I couldn't wait until 201x version comes out so I made my own Not as good as GTX but I'm half satisfied now

like i mentioned in the the post#1 I had these problems with almost all recent (last two weeks) custom ROM releases, ROMs of different chefs. Because others or the majority of people don't have any problems with that I thought the reason must be hardware issues. yesterday I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191 opened by agent_47 where he provides a modified tool:
agent_47 said:
when u flash a rom, you are copying files onto the internal memory (like duh!) but if u repeatadly flash different roms, sometimes files from older version stays behind as when u flash a rom, you just copy and sometimes overwrite files without deleting the older ones. hence at times these older files may create bugs\instability. hardrest donot always fix it.so we use MTTY

Well I used it and have flashed to Sergio's Leo Cell Evo 6 and I can confirm that I haven't had any "sleep of death" issues, well still haven't and hope I won't have this "SOD" issue anymore. And when I tried this same ROM before I wasn't even able to make a proper configuration and set up the phone because the phone always froze or as soon the screen went off I wasn't able to activate it back without soft reset.
So maybe this is a solution and could help others who also are having this issue of "sleep of death".
Please if you try the tool from the mentioned agent_47's thread, let know us here because it will be very useful for the rest of the users to finally figure out "the dark side" of their phone and fix it.
Cheers, Ibster

Solution
I had this just recently. Funny side was that I installed an official new ROM from HTC which I just updated. Somehow the phone just didn't want to turn on and show the screen. So just like you guys said, hard-reset did the thing but just when the screen went off, same thing happened.
So what I did was wipe/clean or any other name. Practically did the installation of the rom again. Now, the device works normally and without any problems.
Maybe this happens because some old files of older ROMS sayed on the device itself and started making problems. Anyways, check this thread too, maybe it will explain something more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Or, final explanation. Our Rhodiums have soul inside their little chips and they just simply fu.k with us They tell us they're too tired of so many ROM changes.

I have also had this problem with my two latest official swedish roms (manilla 2.1 and 2.5) cant remember if I had it when I used 6.1. Now I use a cooked rom and still have the issue several times a week. The only thing I had done with my Rhodium before using cooked Rom was flashing hard spl for future use. If its not an inbuilt hardware/software problem from the beginning the only thing I can point at in my case is hard spl?

back with my kaiser you always had to flash back to stock before going to a new ROM no matter what, for just this very reason...
could flashing back to stock be a 'best practice' that we as users should start doing to help with this issue?

I - have had some xperience with the issue in a few ROMS. Im a loyal flasher of Agent 47s masterpieces. And a month or so ago he had like 2 or 3 builds that had this issue. From what I remember he said that he thought it had to do with some sys evrybody was using to cook roms. and after her came out with this diagnosis and "fixed"(i dont know the technical part of what was fixed) this problem it has never happened since. But a good thing I would say to try is in Agents thread about 4 or so pages from the last page(maybe more or less) but close to the last page he posted a .zip file for this mitty fix. and you essentially flash this zip just like a rom then reflash which ever rom you had or a new one and ta da. Ive also heard of people reflashing a stock rom with results from doing so but from what Agent said is flashing a stock rom then back technicaly "shouldnt" do anything and to definately use mitty. But one of the other frequent valkyrie users that I chat with all the time Mcbrian who posted here on the first page has used the stock rom and did have whatever issue he had cured dont remember what that was tho.
UPDATE- Oh I guess that Agent has a thread for Tool29 so you dont have to search through his thread to find it.

I can confirm agent 47 method is working for me. I no longer have the sleep of death. But its only been half a day. I will report back in a few days.

Great! I'm glad to hear your confirmation. I now on my side haven't had a sleep of death for three days on the ROM (Cell Leo V6) that previously, before I used the agent_47's tool, couldn't even start normally at all or had extremely many "sleeps of death". But I also noticed overall improvements even though the speed slows down but there are barely any freezes and stability is much better.

I did tried agent 47 method at least three times this weekend. I did exactly what agent 47 instructed, flash Energy ROM 23547 with MaxManila = failed to initiated. Flash Tool29 again, reflash Energy ROM 23545 from MicroSD = Failed. Flash Athine OS XTreme = Worked, install MaxManila 3.0 on top of Athine OS Xtreme = Corrupted the manila display. Reflash stock ROM. Flash Deep Shining X.23544 = Worked. Flash Deep Shining X.23547 = Failed.
Look like I can get my phone to work but can't move on from now on! Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I'm not very clear about what you mean by failed. Do you mean you can't flash some of the ROMs or you get screens of death with them?
What I did was this: I took out the SD card. Ran the tool29 modified by agent_47 (see post 10 of this thread). After the tool finished cleaning all internal memory the phone went back on but got stuck in loading. I took the battery out of phone for few seconds and then put it back in. Then I connected the USB cable to the phone and started it in the bootloader mode by quickly pressing and releasing the switch button and then hitting the volume down. On the tricolor screen then it shows USB. Then I just flashed my ROM of choice normally with USB without need to flash from SD. I've done this several time with several ROMs without problems.

Thanks for quick response. Yes. I did exactly what you spelled out in the message. i.e: Remove the memory card, Run Tool29, remove the battery, got into the bootloader mode, then flashed with USB connection. The phone went to the initial setup, I clicked the T-Mobile connection ....etc... then it restart - then stopped at "Launching HTC Sense...." This is = failed for me. i.e: Failed to clean the internal memory!
By the way, if the internal memory is cleaned, shouldn't the Start->Setting->Device Information->Software Information: Incoming Call & Outgoing Call reset to 0?
Thanks

Your steps should be
1. Shutdown tp2..
2. Remove memory card( I also removed sim card).
3. Turn on tp2, connect through the computer through active sync.
4. Run task 29. Let it load flash, whatever it is doing until it actually reboots.
5. At this point, everything should be cleaned, you don't have a rom or radio anymore, so its blank, so you "pull battery out."
6. Put memory card/sim card back in. Flash radio through boot whatever menu. Soft reset it yourself. Pull battery out again.
7. Flash rom this time, and soft reset it again. Now rom should start setting up.
This shouldn't be rocket science.

1.Task29
2.Flash Original Shipped Rom For Your TP2
3.Task29 (Yes Again)
4.Flash Energy Rom & You Should Be Good To Go
Hope This Helps!!!

thank you i will hop on it n try that..

Are there other start up images available?
Along the same lines, are there different start up or boot up images available for the TP2? I've searched a bit but not knowing exactly what this initial screen was called I had no luck with this.
I'm using a T-Mobile TP2 that has the white background with pink square and the words "stick together" on it that I'd really like to see go away. It hasn't been replaced when I've loaded the few ROMs that I've tried so far onto my TP2. So I obviously haven't tried the Core Cell ROM yet?
I've got ORD like a lot of other people here and probably will get around to trying it out one of these days.
Any suggestions?

Its called the boot splash, or splash screen. So when you boot the phone, there is a splash screen, an animation, then another splash screen.
You can use Advanced Config to change the boot animation and the 2nd splash, to a .png (maybe other image formats) and .gif, respectively. But I believe the first splash (which is usually the carrier splash) can only be changed by flashing a new one using the usual RUU tool that is used when flashing a ROM, radio, or Task29. If you do a search for boot splash, you will find some different ones to flash.

original splash
i had the same problem. core splash was still there after i switched roms. this helped. connect via WMDC or active sync, unzip and run this exe. works like a charm.

Yeah, finally
Thanks.
