black screen, green light, high stress - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I am having a terrible time getting my 8925 to boot. When I attempt to soft reset, I get a black screen, green power light comes on, usb is "not recognized" by pc. It appears to be bricked but I don't believe it actually is considering every once in a while on the soft reset, I get the att splash screen and it freezes on the next windows screen. I have tried everything and quite honestly I'm about ready to try the 1985 Nintendo method and beat the hell out of the sides of it and maybe blow in it then reboot. Before I do that, I wanted to see if maybe any of you guys could help me out. Im not quite a newbie, but also not quite an expert. Hard resetting is no good, nothing happens but the black screen, green light. Reflashing is no good as I cant even get into my bootloader.
I am using stock ATT Rom and HardSPL 1.1 by Olipro. I'm at my wit's end with this thing and any help provided would be appreciated more than you know.
P.S.: I have run countless searches before posting and nothing posted seems to work for me, the lucky one.

Then you need to use the stylus and softkeys way to hard reset. Read up on the wiki/phones manual as to how you do this as it's easy to not get it right and press the wrong keys (which will result in nothing)

Problem: Issue of trying to do hardreset on ATT TILT

I messed around with the phone (ATT TILT with stocked ROM) tonight. After installed a 3rd party app and it booted itself (seemed like a normal procedure). However, it just hangs on the Windows logo screen and it never gets to the Today screen.
I tried to perform a hardreset by holding both soft-keys and hit the reset button; it just does not work.
I have tried more than 20 times and no luck.
I am not sure what to do about it. Would I be able to flash the fresh ROM (stocked) and bring the phone back to live?
thanks in advance.
If you device is not CID unlocked (i.e. no HardSPL) then you'll have to flash a carrier ROM. You should be able to do this from the Bootloaded screen. i.e. Hold Down Camera and Reset. Once at the tri-colour screen just run the RUU program.
Also, with hard reset the steps I take are: hold down left and right softkeys (above IE and messaging button) for a second or two and then press and hold reset with the stylus until the message appears. Then press Green to hard reset.

The hard reset is notoriously hard to do, especially with big fat (muscular ) fingers. I use two pencils or chop sticks. Make sure that both soft keys are held down at the same time firmly, then do the soft reset . If you do it right a white screen with a warning should pop up telling you to press send to proceed. If this window doesn't pop up let go regroup and try again.
It always takes me several times to get a good press on those soft keys.

@denco7 isn't start>settings>system>Clear Storage the same as doing a hard reset?? If not, what's the difference between the two methods (just curious)... This is much easier than the usual method...

They are more or less the same. I have searched for the differences before, I found a few threads discussing it, but I don't think anything conrete was discovered.
The OP cannot get into Win Mo however, thats the problem

It is the same, but in order to do a clear storage, you have to be able to access your settings menu, he cannot

Hi all,
Hope you can help and thanks in advance,
trying to flash my rom and have now killed my second one
first time only read then instruction quckley and done it all wrong and the phone died. sent it back and go another one, tryed again and same problem.
this time i tryed to install hardspl but kept getting a white screen so look up how to get around that and got jumpspl on and then hardspl. all going fine so far, then i removed the simlock all went fine. then i installed nukespl-2.47 that started off fine then froze i left it a while to see if it would carry on, i soft reset it and that where it all went wrong and now i remember that was the same program i was using last time. now all my phone does is show a green light after i remove the battrie and power on, nothing on the screen and no lights on the keypad. i hope some one can help dont think i will get another one lol.

if this was your phone would you quit that easily?
Well, if you can still get into bootloader mode your fine. I'd reflash to the original htc rom and use a different spl, something safe like hard spl ver.1.1, never heard of anyone using nuke spl
Yes, confirm if you can get into bootloader by holding down the camera button while pushing the stylus in the reset hole. If done correctly, you should be at a tri-colored screen. Now, just flash back the original ROM and you should be set
What is NukeSPL? Never heard of it. It sounds bad. I never remember running a NukeSPL to HardSPL my Kaiser.
Never seen a Nukespl anywhere, and apparently Google either. Where did you get that from?
I don't even know the definition of "brick". Everyone (not everyone but most people) say they bricked their phone when they are simply stuck in bootloader. l
In my eyes a bricked device is one that doesn't turn on because you fried the board, resistors, capacitors, or whatever within...
sorry nuespl not nuke from this site.and no cant get into bootloder or anything just a green led on top of phone.
Just to confirm, you have a blank screen upon booting with a green light, that means it's still "alive". Getting into bootloader mode is done by holding the camera button and the power button then clicking the soft reset button on the bottom of the device, that should give you a tri colored sceen, from there, plug in the usb to your laptop or desktop and flash the official htc rom...and Never use Nuke spl Ever again, sounds like a poorly coded spl or even malware

You need to quickly learn that something meant for the TITAN will brick your KAISER!! If you look the thread is for Titan ppc so if you ran that on a Kaiser it will and did brick the phone.
Only use stuff that is developed for your particular PPC. You need to do much more reading before doing anything that can damaged your hardware.
umm from the site you showed it seems that it was meant for the Titan.. at least thats what i got from looking at the pictures and posts..
arr i have the tytn 2 thought they were the same phone. how dumb of me, so its total dead then. will have to do more reading then and wait for the 3rd phone to turn up. 3rd time lucky lol.
I had a similar experience with my Kaiser a week ago and thought it was dead, just keep trying to get it into tri colored bootloader mode by holding the power and camera buttons then holding the soft reset button, it didn't work for me the first or even tenth time before it shut down, but once I got it into bootloader and reflashed, It's alive
will try that got till monday before i can send it back.
I just want to remind people that Camera button should be fully depressed. It have two stages of pressed, Half-Press and Full-Press

Help i think i bricked my phone

i just picked up my telus htc diamond last night. was looking forward to putting the new juicy rom on it today, but i get screwed over big time. first i tried putting the hardspl from here, that didnt work. then i went to ppc forums downloaded .057 cdma version of hardspl for diamond. that worked. so i wont over to install the juicy TELUS version of the rom 2.3. was going well, but 40% through it stopped, and ever since i was not able to get the rgb screen off my touch. i tried reapplying the .057 version and now it wont start up. the screen freezes on htc diamond touch, with version info. is it a done deal for this phone? if there is any way to fix it, please help me out. the stock version rom on it was 1.6.661. or do you think they will take it back. i will say i was updating the files, and it just keeps freezing on it. do you think they will notice i was tempering with it? any help would be appriciated. i just signed on a 3 year term, and don't feel like paying 500 dollars for it, as i was running all over the city to get the 100 discount on the phone.
please help me out on this one. thank you
when i start it up, it shows these stats
uP0B P DCBBBPZM-615010
B 80 R 0. 99. 90V
ps20 D 1. 06
are these stock stats?
did u try hard reset?
If not u can find a stock rom and try to flash it in using bootloader mode?it shd work if u r able to go into bootloader...good luck bro
i can't seem to dwonload the stock rom. but i doubt it will wokr because the phone is not synced. it wont start up. it stays frozen on that blackdiamond screen with red letters. do you think they will take it back in store if i say i dunno what happened?
i am not sure what hard reset is. i tried removing the battery and i also tried pressing on the little button behind the battery slot is.

Tatswhy i ask to u to try to go into bootloader bro,if u can, u might still be able to flash in a rom...
Don't panic. Try Hard Reset. Keep pressed Volume down button+Enter+,,little button behind the battery slot'' and than follow the instruction on the screen. Try search better for Hard Reset

hold down down vol key,centre action key and then poke and let go the red reset button while still holdin on to the 2 button,you shd see a grey screen which warn u about losing all your data.
i cna't seem to put on a stock rom. i download one from ppc forums, but it shows its 1.00. my telus cmae wiht .1.6.661
i can't seem to be able to flash anything on. i do hard reset and it goes ot the rgb screen, but not much from there.
when i try to flash it, it wont even display the image version. does it mean there is no rom on it or what?

My phone whiped itself

I have a really strange problem, which never happened to me before in allmost 2 years of flashing ROMs.
Last night I've flashed G10's Evo v5.30 and set it up the way I like it. Then I connected my phone to the loader and went to sleep.
This morning I try to wake up my phone, but it doesn't respond, the screen won't go on (and sometimes you can feel a vibration when pressing a certain button or so, but that won't happen either.)
I tried to soft reset the phone a dozen times, but it won't get past the "smart mobility" screen with the red numbers in the bottom right corner.
I can't perform a hard reset, because that screen just won't load (I just get the smart mobility screen again), but I seem to be able to get in the bootloader.
I'm going to flash the same ROM again now, but hopefully someone can tell me what happened here, because it just looks like my phone whiped itself entirely. (instant task29 :S)

also had this twice with my own rom:-o
never found the reason why it happend though
as for the hard reset part you can do one
its the same way of going into bootloader but with the addition of pressing the volume up to at the same time with volume down

this has happened to me many times, mostly on some chefs roms, but i suspect its the chefs twaek and my apps config that does something. Not sure, but i think a stock or task 29 helped a lot since i dont experience this no more
Thanks for your answers! I've got my phone all up and running again, but it was a bit of a scare to me.
I usualy perform a task 29 every 3 or 4 times I install a new ROM.
@miniterror, I know how to hard reset, I've done it about a million times with this phone allready haha, but this time it really didn't work. Lucky the normal bootloader functioned like it should and made me able to re-install everything!

[Q] X1 freezing on boot

Hi there all,
I'm writting this help in Frustration, i'm trying to solve my lil bro problem. He has Sony Experia X1 running Windows mobile 6.1.
The problem is when it get's to the windows mobile 6.1 logo screen after boot up it freeze's! and i don't know where to go from here.
I've tried to sync it to the PC and nothing!
I've tried removing battery, holding down volume down button + power button, reinserting battering will on charge via wall and PC for 15min's, and removing batter and reinserting and booting again, and NOTHING!!!
i can't make any sence from it please help? What is the next step? Throw at the Wall?
Thankz to anyone that has the time
any details on what action lead to the problem? those normally don't come out of thin air...and maybe that helps finding a solution
what might otherwise help (but will erase customizations and personal data stored on the device) is a hard reset
Best, DK
Ok just found out he was trying to delete something a program, and he can't remember what program! About to try a hard reset now!!!
Also just found out, you/I can't even power it down/off!!! WTF?
Hard reset! Not working just the same thing, tried holding all button in with battery out then reinserted, and the screen went all funny like snow reception on tv?
And one time it come up with 4 colours on the screen, green, blue, red and white!
also when trying to connect to computer usb port it try's to load up but said the phone is locked???

strange, not sure about the snow like screen
the four color screen is the bootloader, you can that when the phone is off and you restart it while holding volume button down for some seconds
there is a quite helpful thread about hard resetting X1, listing different means to do so
have a look, maybe you find something you didn't try yet and it helps
Best, DK
thankz will try post again soon with result's
OK wierdiest thing ever!!!
after coming back to the phone a day later, the battery went flat, OK! charged mobile while it was in bootloader mode screen for 15 min's
Went to try hard reset and magic!!! It finally come up with this screen allowing me to reset by pressing R on the keypad, so i did then, it told me to press space.... waited, waited and waited. It got the better of me, took battery out, and reinserted...
It got further then before, but once again on further it hung there, so i took the battery out and reinserted and did this about 3 more times.
And now magic it works!!! I don't know whats going on i tried all these steps i've mentioned above and nothing had came of it, but now it works!!!
I'm backing the battery is the main issue, it got a lil hot but not to hot to handle, well im no expert i'll leave it with you's
Thankz again for all your help you could offer it did help
that is really weird but I'm very glad you got it going
enjoy
