OMG, Help! - Cannot Boot - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

OMG, Help! - Cannot Boot - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

So I am trying to Re-Flash my T-Mobile Wing.
I HAD TouchIT Vista on my Phone and wanted to put on a new version.
While trying to re-flash, like i did before, I would connect to my phone, then it would drop while starting the flash. So I decided to flash on the Stock ROM. Now, being a complete idiot, I started the Flash (BAT file) before putting Itsutils.dll into the Windows folder... Now I cannot boot into my phone. But I CAN boot into BootLoader.
I dont know how to use BootLoader tho. What do I do to get this back up and running? Dear god, I hope I didn't brick my Phone!

Try the Following:
Got to this link, post #2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421304
-download the Herald-USPL-Beta 3 file found on post#2
-extract the flash center folder to your desktop
-extract the nbh file from your stock rom using winrar or 7zip
-place the nbh file in the ruu folder within the flash center folder
-run the utility
*if my instructions arent clear to you, there is a full tutorial on the link that i gave you
hope this helps!!

-press and hold your camera button on the side of your phone
-while holding the camera button, press and release the soft reset button
-dont let go of the camera button until you enter a tri-colored screen.
-now you are on your bootloader screen

Yes, I know how to get into Bootloader, but How do I execute this stuff in bootloader?
I do not show a connection to ActiveSync (Or in this case, Windows Mobile Device Center) when I am in BootLoader.

-remove sim and storage card
-hook your phone to your computer, and then go into bootloader while hooked to the computer
-try to run the regular stock rom utility while in bootloader
-if that does not work, then follow my instructions from above

OK...
I can ONLY get into Bootloader.
My Process:
-Load Bootloader...Ok
-Connect USB...Ok
-Start ActiveSync...Ok
-ACTIVESYNC, NOT CONNECTED..
-Start Stock ROM Utility
-No Device Connected
Going to try it with HERALD-USPL-beta3 instead of Stock-ROM now..

while in bootloader, read your spl number. is it lower than 4.0.0.0?

No.
Bootloader Screen:
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.70.Yang
USB
EDIT:
How long Should I let herald-uspl.exe from Flash Center run before I give up on it?

your device should be able to run the ruu.exe provided by tmobile.
any luck with the uspl?

uspl doesnt seem to be going anywhere (10 min now, still step 1)
I am downloading a different Tmo rom (not the bat files i hope)
Will be trying that soon.
Thank you for your suggestions btw

are you getting any error messages?

if the ruu.exe doesn't run on the bootloader and uspl isn't working, then unfortunately, i am at a loss.
there are a few sites out there on tutorials for bricked wings... here is a link to one of them:

Okay, So now I am in a bit of a pickle... lolz
Ran the TMo Stock ROM...
It Kills my ActiveSync connection immediatly.. Doesnt see my phone.
So I reinstalled, restarted.
Retry...
Saw my phone.
Started to install. Got to 1%, then my phone booted out of BootLoader, now is back at the TouchIt Loading screen (where it is frozen).
EDIT1:
Yeah, I did the Recovery Process... It keeps going to 1% then Restarting.
EDIT2:
OMG, loading now!
Next Update Soon! (42%)

if you are getting to 1% and it is rebooting, then you should be able to use uspl to fully flash a rom. just put the nbh from your stock rom into the ruu folder and run uspl. that worked for me.

The Stock RUU was able to complete (When it rebooted @ 1%, I forced it back into BootLoader) it then rebooted again, but actually finished this time.

i've been through that process a long time ago i know how u feel lol

sweet. next time you want to flash a rom, just use uspl. it works for me flawlessly every time.

Well, my problem came from ActiveSync... No matter what I did, It would disconnect. (This is after trying 6 DIFFERENT PCs [2 Vista] and failing) so I was trying other ways to Flash. Never again. Lolz.
EDIT:
Back at it... Flashing Hard-SPL now. lolz.
USPL totally works better... lolz.

well, its good to see that you are back in business

money against help

After hours !!! trying almost every advice I don`t know what to do ! I would for the help !
hardspl process
I did everything what is written here and it still doesn`t work:
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
Yes it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
"Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"
THIS never happened but it seems that I do have the hardspl done !
BUT - the next problem when I run the RUU process I get always the error message "update error 262" which is a coomunication error.
Is there hope for me ?

What exactly are you trying to do?
and please stop posting the same thing over again, people will answer you when they get a chance!
If you are trying to get to Hardspl then why are you trying to flash back to the stock spl??
Follow the proper instructions..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
From the start of the post to the 3rd lot of stars ****
If you are trying to return to stockspl having already flashed Hardspl then you wont be able to flash any more roms except the stock one.

OK !
My steps:
0a) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en done
0b) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...ce-center.mspx
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder. done
2) it is recommended you download only the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip unless you want to tinker with MFG SPL (MFG SPL 0.52 is a separate attachment). only X1 done
3) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile! done
4) run X1_HardSPL.exe. (if you want to flash MFG SPL: at this point replace the extracted RUU_Signed.nbh with the MFG version of RUU_Signed.nbh) done
5) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. done
6) it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!). done !!!
7) Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done. THIS doesn`t happen !

****
then once the screen is in SSPL (tricolour screen saying 0.52.OliNex), run RUU on the PC (i.e. the rest of the hardspl package) manually.
****
Have you tried this?

NEED HELP!!! How to reflash device

Hi,
I have to reflash my HTC to put the warranty back because I have to send it to HTC
I´m trying to follow:
ow to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC
2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). the included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL. you also have the option for 0.84.0000 and 0.87.0000, see the attachments.
3. flash
4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.79.0000 (or 0.84.0000 or 0.87.0000), not 0.85.OliNex.
But when I click in the relocker.exe there is no extraction of file and the computer isn´t doing nothing. I copy the RUU_Signed.NBH to the memory card and power down and start with vol down + power and appears like its trying to load the file but nothing (its just a second)
Any ideas? Someone could help me?
Thank you for your support

1.What Kind Of HTC Phone Do You Have?
2.What OS Are You Running On Your Computer?
I Need To Know This Info In Order To Further Help You

I have Windows 7 (32bits). I tried with another Windows 7 (64bits) and the same
The device is a HTC Touch Pro2 Sim Free
Thank you

This should really be in the HardSPL thread. But if your PC isn't extracting anything from the zip file, then it's probably your anti-virus software blocking it (try turning it off).

I don´t have antivirus hahahahah
NO worries, i´ll try tomorrow from a Windows XP in my job ;-0

try what steviewevie said in the above post & also with windows 7 you have to right click on the relocker.exe & run as administrator or it won't work
here try this relocker.exe to see if it works for you Relocker.exe

Boot loop after OTA Froyo update

Hi,
I intended to do the Froyo OTA update for my Legend today. Started the download, it finished and wanted to start the installation.
During the installtion it started to boot loop, it got to around 98% every time and then booted again, doing that over and over several times.
After about 30st boot loops I plugged the battery to see if it would help, nope... now i get the white screen with green HTC text and after that I get
to a black background with a dark phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it, waiting ca 2min and it will reboot again.
Is my phone bricked or is there something I can do?
Any help or suggestions would be very appriciated.
My phone is an unbranded HTC Legend, swedish.
HBOOT-0.43.0001
//Rightfoot

This should be in general. You need an RUU. Search the forums using the search tools provided

Well since I can't start the phone I can't use the RUU.
Beacause I can't use the RUU from the bootloader can't I?

Try entering the recovery mode and then use RUU update from a PC. Your phone is not branded and i think that you don't need goldcard to flash RUU.
And you should read more! There must be a hundreds of posts about this...

Thanks for the help.
Where do I find the RUU?
Tried http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Legend but they dont start on my computer. Generating some kind of windows error message.

The size of the Froyo update is wrong (only 4 MB). Try to download from different place.
You can use also LEGEIM image from here:
LEGEIMG_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_130330_signed.zip
Just put the files in the root of your SD and enter bootloader.

Rename it to LEGEIMG.zip. Put it at the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery. It'll search for and then flash it automatically.
Or you can use the RUU, as suggested, following the guide in this post from the USB Brick thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9889284&postcount=60.
E.E.

RUU actually contains what is called LEGEIMG.zip. This is not the ordinary update zip that can be flashed from recovery mode!

[START HERE][GUIDE] Your Guide To Customize The Sensation XL [GUIDE]

I thought I'd do this tutorial because some people still seem to be having trouble searching the forum for answers, even though the forum is still only small, so I thought I'd put everything in one place, these are all the processes I've followed and they've worked for me, here you will find links to all the useful posts and places to find out what you need too..... Also I'll try to make it a little more Noob friendly too
But as always if you turn your phone into a paperweight, don't come blaming me for it, I've personally done everything (apart from flashing a stock rom and that is because I've never needed to) in the tutorial and its worked for me and worked for the majority of people in here and that is because we know how to follow instructions properly
If you are unsure about doing anything in this tutorial... DON'T DO IT... Ask a question here... But dont ask rom specific questions here though!!!
Now this will be for doing everything on a Windows PC. If anyone else wants to add what to do on Linux, Mac etc please let me know and I'll add them...
Now you've obviously come here because you're considering rooting and maybe even putting a custom rom on your phone. If thats not the case there is no point reading on...
Once you have your shiny new Sensation XL the first thing you will need to do is check the build number because we have noticed that a couple of the latest builds have not been rootable. You can do this by going to 'settings/about phone/software information/more'
Check the second post for details of the builds we know of at the minute that you will not be able to root. The only way around this at the minute is to flash an older RUU (Stock Rom) which we know can be rooted. Details of how to do this can be found at the bottom of this post!!!
Once you've either got a rootable build or you have downgraded and before you actually try to root your phone you will need to Unlock the bootloader!! Unfortunately unlocking the bootloader is the only way to be able to put custom roms on your phone.
You can get permanant root but you won't be able to put a custom rom on your phone, so if you only want root you don't need to unlock bootloader. You will need to use v4 from this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341127 ... Cheers Shingers
But for recovery (CWM) and the ability to put custom roms on your phone (lets face it you do... thats why you're here ) you WILL NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
To do this you will need to go to the HTCDEV website at www.HTCDEV.com then you will need to register an account to be able to unlock your bootloader. Now the Sensation XL isn't listed in the devices that it says can be unlocked so what you need to do is when its time to select your device scroll to the bottom and select 'All Other Supported Devices'. Then you will get the warning boxes pop up asking you if you're sure you want to do it then saying you could void your warranty as well. Once you've clicked ok on those you'll be through to the instructions on how to unlock your bootloader.
Remember how to get your phone into fastboot from the instructions because you will need to do it again, or if anything goes wrong.
But if you follow the instructions properly nothing should go wrong... Its been tried and tested by lots of people...
And just incase you don't remember how to do it... Take battery out and pop it back in, then press volume down and power button together until you see the white bootloader screen and then press the power button to get into fastboot.
Please please please follow the instructions to the letter, because if you don't it WILL NOT work. Its a very comprehensive walkthrough on how to do it so you shouldn't have any problems unlocking your bootloader as long as you follow the instructions... If you're struggling here maybe you shouldn't read any further and leave your phone like stock
Then once you have that done you will need to get root and for that you will need to follow shingers5 tutorial below...
Get the file for rooting here DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip
1. enable usb debugging from settings - applications - development
2. plug phone to pc via usb cable - charge only
3. open extracted zip folder and click runme. thats all. (if experience any daemon hanging problems pls install htc sync and plug in phone so drivers are installed. once done delete htc sync and repeat root procedure) PC will open a cmd screen with prompts that you need to follow. The app does rest... So its nice and easy
4. After root is complete pls visit market and update SU app. once done root will be fully functional and eliminate any future FCs
5. Also as an extra tip you can install SU UPDATE fixer from market to update your binaries to 3.0
ALL DONE
If you're struggling with the above instructions, remember that you will need to un-install HTCsync because it interferes with fastboot and rooting...
Then once you're rooted you will need to put CWM (Clockwork Mod) recovery on in order for you to be able to back up your phone and flash custom roms. The custom recovery by Paul O'Brien is the best one to use and is available to download here... http://android.modaco.com/topic/348973-clockworkmod-recovery-5027-unofficial-modaco-edition/
You will need your phone in fastboot again and you will need to find the fastboot folder on your PC (Windows). When you're in the fastboot folder press the left shift button and right click on the mouse and select open command prompt here. Make sure your phone is connected to the PC and is in fastboot. Also make sure that the recovery.img file that you downloaded from MoDaCo is in the fastboot folder too. Get back to the command promt window and type the following
fastboot flash recovery r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img (Tip: once you get to the r1 bit just hit tab and it will auto complete the rest of the line)
If you can't get the Paul O'Brien recovery installed (apparantly not everyone can) try the Older recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348693
Now you've got root and CWM
A lot of people who have come this far will want to put a custom rom on... unfortunately its not completely straight forward. But again there is a way round round it and you should only need to do it once, when you're coming from a stock rom.
Now there is two ways of doing it, but one of the ways doesn't always work so I would suggest that you do it the guaranteed way, it is a little longer but it is guaranteed to work! And this method is thanks to shingers5 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366238 but I will go through it again here....
1. You cant just flash a custom rom on this phone, firstly you will need the 'Chinese rom' which is here http://hotfile.com/dl/148413075/8990501/runnymede_ax918_111511_101713.zip.html and make sure it is on the SDcard part of your phones memory. Make sure it on the root of the SDcard because it will be easier to find later. Then you will need this rom RCMix3d Runny XL rom from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56143145/RCMix3D_Runny_XL_v1.2.zip (thanks to benjamin.j.goodwin) and make sure that is on the SDcard too with the other rom
2. Then you will need to download this file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19494357&postcount=18 it is the 'Chinese boot.img' and will need flashing from fastboot again. So put the phone in fastboot and extract the 'boot.img' from the 'boot.rar' file and put it in the fastboot folder on the PC. Open the command prompt again and type this... fastboot flash boot boot.img ... This should only need doing once if you're coming from a stock rom.
3. Once you've done that you will need to get into recovery. From fastboot select bootloader and then look for recovery, it should be under fastboot if its worked correctly. Select that and the phone should then reboot and go into 'CWM' (recovery). Once there you will need to use the volume keys and power button just like when you were in bootloader. Go down and select 'Factory Reset/Data Wipe' and select that, the select yes on following screen. This will take a few mins (don't worry if it looks like its not doing anything). After that go down to 'Wipe Cache' and select that. and then go down to 'Advanced' select that and on the following screen select 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'.
People who have used CWM before will know all that, but I'm putting it in anyway
4. Once thats all done you will need to select 'Install Zip File from SDcard' and then you will get another screen where you go to 'choose zip from SDcard' and the you will see all the contents of your SDcard, scroll down till you can select the Chinese rom you put on earlier (remember what it was called) and then select yes to install it. Sit back and wait another few minutes. Once its done select the 'reboot now'. The phone will then reboot again and start to load the new rom up. This will take a while so don't worry. Now once the phone has started you should get the start up wizard and you will just need to skip through it (don't worry about it being all in chinese... its in english). Not everyone needs to install the Chinese rom, some people can just go straight to the RCMix3d rom and install that, but it doesn't work for everyone, so I'm putting this in because it always works when you do it this way. Installing the Chinese rom should only need doing once if you're coming from a stock rom.
5. Boot into recovery again and goto 'Factory Reset/Data wipe', then 'Wipe Cache', then 'Advanced' and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache' and then go back to main screen and select 'Install Zip From SDcard' and then select 'RCMix3d zip' file and install that. Once thats done select Reboot Now and wait while phone boots up again... and VOILA you now have a custom rom Installed.
6. You could either leave that rom on (its a very good rom) or choose to install one of the other custom roms, read through the first few posts of each rom and decide from there whether you want to install that particular rom, or do what I did and install everyone and see which you like best

WRE 1.5 (Worst Rom Ever) ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491039
Now if you're having problems with any part of this and/or you softbrick your phone, my suggestion is that you stop what you're doing and either see if you can get your phone on and working properly (if so all is well with the world) or turn the phone off and pull the battery out, pop it back in and see if you can get into fastboot, if you can your phone should (I'm saying should, because I don't know what you've done to your phone to be considering this ) be recoverable. You will need to make sure phone is in fastboot and then get command prompt up in fastboot folder and type this...
fastboot oem lock
That will relock the bootloader so that you can flash a stock HTC stock image (or RUU) back to your phone. Your bootloader WILL need to be relocked for you to be able to flash stock image back to phone. You can find stock HTC roms (RUU's) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317895
When you're in fastboot and your phone is connected to the PC and you've downloaded the correct RUU for your region (they are region specific) double click on the RUU.exe and that should start the procedure of flashing the stock image back to your phone. I've never needed to do this, so I'm not 100% on the whole process.
Please remember that if you flash a RUU back to your phone, you will lose root etc, it will be like when you first got the phone...
Also remember that these instructions are tried and tested by many of the members in here and if something isn't working please check that you've followed the instructions to the letter, because it could be quite likely that you've done something wrong or missed something out...
Now I've tried to be as thorough and as noobish as I can possibly be, but if you think you can add anything just let me know and I will add it.
Special thanks to shingers5 who did all the work to start off with, all I've done really is bring them all together and Football for getting all the stock roms in one place

Software versions 1.24.709.2 and 1.14.709.2 seem unsupported by current methods of rooting.
The only way aound this at the minute is if you can find an older stock rom for your region you will have to flash that in order to be able to root your phone. You will need to relock your bootloader to be able to flash another RUU (see first post). And remember as we can't get S-OFF at the minute it will have to be a rom for your phones region...

Everything in one place , Thanks !

It is still confusing about boot.img and chines rom etc. Is it to be done just once?
Some ROMs say flash the Boot.img file as well. Is it different from what you have mentioned or just the same thing.
I would love to try different ROM but I am not comfortable about how to achieve it.

You will only need to flash the Chinese boot.img once and that is when you're coming from a stock rom. Once you've flashed it and the Chinese rom, then flashed RCMix3d you will be able to just flash any rom without the need for flashing the boot.img again.
I know it seems a little long winded but its the only guaranteed way of getting custom rom on your phone. Some people are lucky enough to be able to flash the boot.img and then flash any rom, but that doesn't always work, thats why I've put the method that is tried and tested as working

To be honest I'm not 100% sure. But to be on the safe side it might be worth unlocking it anyway. Unless you're feeling brave and want to try it with out first, Then you could maybe let us know if it does work

I'm guessing if there was a clockworkmod.zip I could flash from the stock recovery I wouldn't need to.
I think I'll be cautious and unlock it

+1 From me ...
I only have 2 questions for now.
If I choose "Sensation", instead of "all other supported devices," Is it wrong?
And I can not open a Command Prompt, when I press the left shift button and click your right mouse button in the fastboot folder.
There is no such option ...

Yeah I would say so, from what people have said if you pick sensation it doesn't work, it does however work if you pick 'all other supported devices'.
If you can't get command prompt open from that menu, do you know how to navigate to the fast boot folder if you open a command prompt from the start menu?

Yes, I know how to navigate to the fastboot folder.
Thanks again!

All this information is in another 3 posts about ROOT, CWM, and Bootloader unlock and i read them before i rooted month ago. Thank you for your work, but personaly i think your thread is little bit to large It would burn my brain if i would follow this doing rooting Maybe for someone is good to have it all in one place.
P.s. I flashed Bindroid ROM after boot.img flashing. Then i flashed Dutchdanny provided flashable stock ROM, now use RCMix, and no problem. Actualy i flashed boot.img twice, but i think its only necessary first time and does not matter which ROM u flash first.

Yeah I know its a big post and that all the information in the first post is a available in other posts, but not everyone is like you and searches the forum for answers. On the whole most people do the same but there are some people who 'can't be bothered' to search for answers and start threads asking questions that have already been answered. I know because I've been answering them.
So I thought that it would be a good idea to put everything in one place so the answers would be easier to find.
Its like I said in the first post that some are lucky enough to flash another rom and it work straight away, but not everyone can (like me), so I posted the guaranteed way to get it to work (just like in shingers5 post) because if I didn't that would create more questions. Also I said that you should only need to flash boot.img once and not you can't flash it more than once.
Its basically an attempt to keep the forum clean and not full of unnecessary posts... that can only be a good thing surely

Have you installed the Android SDK like it told you to on the HTCDev website. If so just search for fastboot.exe on your computer. Its all clearly explained when you go through the process of unlocking your bootloader at HTCDev.
Download Android SDK here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Edit: Attached pics to make it a little easier

Ok got it..thnx 4 ur help...
Much appriciated ..

Your phone is not permanantly rooted if your bootloader is still locked. Try un-installing HTCsync because that can interfere with fastboot. Also have you put the unlock_code.bin file in the fastboot folder?
