Just going to preface that all of this is off the top of my head since i'm at work and the phones at home.
So my tilt is stuck on the bootloader screen, I never modded it and im using the stock 6.1 rom, I turned it on one day and it was on the tri-color screen. Here's what i've done to try and fix it.
Running the ATT stock 6.1 upgrade over USB: XP and Vista wouldn't even recognize it till I held [ok, power, and the reset button together] first time it errored at 14%, second time it completed at 100%. after restarting it was back at the bootloader screen.
Tried putting the official rom on the SD card: It recognized, and started the upgrade process, went to 100% saying it finished with no errors, rebooted back to the bootloader screen.
mtty: had to hold [ok, power, and the reset button together] to get vista to recognize the device. The command BOOT does not work. Can't remember the other commands off the top of my head, but following the guide I cleared the memory, (NOT the a2 or w/e command that nukes everything) it said it found a few bad blocks and repaired them I think, then I set it to load the OS and not the bootloader..
Attempted to install the stock 6.1 rom, went to 100%... stuck on bootloader after restart.
Any idea what to try from here guys?
Thanks!

omg wtf do i do now?! my pc rebooted 31% into the flash.. it blue screened out of no where!
now its stuck on a IPL 2.21 screen!
this happened to me a few times as well. I just re-tried the flash from another machine and it worked fine.
but i cant establish a active-sync connection because the phone wont start it just stays at the 2.21 screen thats red/green/blue/white! omg im about to cry what do i do lol
I have seen the same screen, and have also had the computer blue screen on me probably 3 or 4 times now. When i plugged it into another machine with activesync, i ran the updater and it worked fine.
im trying it right now on 2nd pc still downloading the rom file tho
ok i was able to flash using another computer thank god!
:lol:
Can you post the steps of reflashing the wizard? I've tried a flash on another system, but it still doesn't work...
My steps:
1. Install Active Sync 4.1
2. Connect the wizard on usb
I've tried to downgrade the wizard with wizbackup. wizbackup need to flash IPL/SPL 1.01. The flash was ended without errors. But now the wizard starts and I only see the three colors and the version of IPL/SPL. Then I connect the wizard, Active Sync doesn't get a connection to the phone.
UPDATE:
In another thread I read that the wizard can't be flashed in IPL/SPL 1.01 without an OS. Can anyone verify this information or help me?
UPDATE II:
I finaly found out, that the phone can be restored with an image from the sd-card.
1. Put an image from the system to sd-card with psdwrite.exe
2. Power Off the phone and put in the sd-card
3. Power on the phone holding the camera key
4. Then the bootloader is coming up, press the voice key during 3s
5. The bootloader upgrades your phone from sd-card
Good luck!
that **** happens to me all the time, it always crashes to the boot loader and once its there you can just restart the upgrade no problem. if you need to boot into the boot loader then simply, from a turned off state, hit the wifi button, voice command button and power button, then release the power only and it will boot into the tri colored boot loader. then reinstall your image and soon you will be kickin it with your **** in it once again! booyakasha!
actually now that i think about it that will just go to the hard reset screen. you really just want to stick the stylus in the reset hole if you need to get to boot loader i think. i dont remember off hand.. just mess with it. if you break it just say you got it that way and exchange that ****
I was flashing my phone which i have done a thousand times, however this time my laptop blue screened at 98%. Now my phone is stuck with the red, green and blue bars. It does however connect to the USB (usb shows up on bottom right).
What can i do now, is the phone shot?
Thx.
Eric
As long as you have the USB in the corner you are good. I would just flash it back to the stock ROM and then go from there.
I can't seem to re-flash i get error 300 when using RUU 2.00.1

Try first to normal routine, take the battery out, wait a sec, put it in again and start.
Connect and if your lucky it will start normal (1%) otherwise flash again.
Normally it should accept the ROM which you had on last.
Don't worry it's not bricked, happened to me at least a dozen time. I have a ASUS Laptop which overheats and shuts down when flashing....
I have removed the battery and reinstalled, then when powered up it did not start over again. Just boots back to the bootloader screen where it displays IPL 2.24 and SPL 2.24. When connected via USB it will show that. I can connect to the phone via MTTY however the set commands dont seem to work and the task commands give me an invalid command error.
Thx.
Eric.
I MTTY to write a known good backup to an sd card from a wizard that was working, i got my phone to boot to the screen that asks to apply image from SD card. After about 30 minutes i get a message that says Sucess. Press any key. When i press any key i go back to the bootloader, when i power off and on i just go to the boot loader. I do notice that my IPL / SPL versions are different.
What's going on here? Is there a way to write the image files used in this process to the SD from windows so i can try a different image? When i try to view the card in windows now it asks to format it.
Eric.
I have been reading through this forum and ppcgeeks but I suspect I am doing something wrong.
My HTC Touch Viva is stuck in bootloader mode.
ONBL 1.26.0000
SPL 1.26.0000
Here are the things I tried:
1. Downloaded HardSPL, I get the 1% straight to 100% error 270 update error. I am figuring that I cannot install this when in bootloader mode.
2. I get the hardspl .nbh file and rename it to OPALIMG.nbh and put it on the SD card formatted in FAT32 and get Invalid Certificate error.
3. I tried downloading the stock rom, and windows 6.5 rom and I get the same error 270.
I tried these same things on my wife's htc touch viva and I managed to update the SPL and WM fine but I am in Windows Mobile and activesynced vs stuck in bootloader mode.
What am I doing wrong?

Turn off your Device's Security, so your warning won't come up and disrubt the process.
How do I turn off the security? I cannot get into the phone.
Actually I tried to drain the battery, hard reset, RUU attempts and once the phone actually started to boot (I do not know why) but this is what it did:
It showed a screen with two tabs at the top - System and Ring. It kept making a funny chime and highlighted the tabs back and forth while a bar was moving across the screen near the bottom (like an installer bar). Then it rebooted and stuck again and I have not been able to get it back to at least attempting to boot windows.
Any idea?

Go to BootLoader and try i guess
Hello.
I'm opening this thread because my Diamond seems to be diying and I wanted to know if someone got an idea.
Yesterday, my phone suddendly rebooted without warning after a month.
I thought It was nothing, but the phone started to reboot allthe time. The phone boot, show my operator logo (befor the winmo loading screen), and then reboot again, again and again.
I decided to do a little Mtty maintenance and reflash (from internal memory). The phone reworked for a couple of hours and restarted to do a reboot loop. I thought the rom I was using was in fault.
Re Mtty maintenant and flashing the phone with mu Prange stock rom. Several hours léter, the phone restarted to boot.
So where I am ?
If I let the phone off (like a night), he will launch windows and will works between a couple of minutes from a couple of hours befoor rebooting. If I put the phone in bootloader mode It won't reboot and will wait with his beautiful rainbow screen. But if I leav the bootloader mode, reboot over reboot, yay !
When the phonedecide to boot completly,it's a regular soft reset, not a hard reset.
Did anyone here have an idea ? Thanks !
How often did you flash since you have your diamond ?
Try to reflash a radio. Maybe your flash memory is dead =/
It sounds like the rom image might be corrupted - I had this problem with a 28003 rom I tried in which the phone would take a hard reset - boot fine - reset and reload fine... and then whenever you tried to restart it after that it went into a boot loop that eventually came up with a screen saying "the phone cannot boot because of uncertified software or incorrect shutdown procedure"
I solved it by putting the phone into bootloader (switch on holding both power key and volume down key) - connecting it to my computer and reflashing it. It DOES NOT need a activesync connection in this mode but you do need the Hard-SPL on the phone (im running olinex 1.40)
hope that helps

Thx JoOos and Jemmauk.
But I already tried to reflash the Radio and the rom Image.
I Tried 3 different Rom images.
One orange official , aztor re-evo and an another one.
But the phone don't display any errors. It will just never stop to reboot without saying a thing.
Same problem in a different thread
Have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5279740.
Hello everyone. In my attempt to experiment with custom ROMS yesterday, I seem to have sort of soft bricked my phone. When I install the stock OS, it installs fine, and I can start the phone. However, after it boots up, there are no apps. Just the clock at the top, the background, and the menu button in the bottom center (but pressing this button doesn't do anything). I can pull down the top menu and go to settings, but I don’t have access to anything else. Furthermore, after a couple minutes, the phone restarts itself. After this first restart, when its gets done booting, there is simply an empty black screen. The only way to get to the state mentioned before is to boot into bootloader, turn the phone off, and then turn it back on.
I’m wholly lost and out of ideas on how to go about troubleshooting this. Here is what I did yesterday to get to this point:
1. Unlocked the bootloader.
2. Flashed the latest Viper rom. It didn’t work; after booting up the phone was forever stuck on the Viper splash screen.
3. Flashed the stock Sprint HTC One rom. Again, after booting up the phone was forever stuck on the HTC splash screen.
4. Used TWRP to format all the data.
5. Flashed the stock Sprint HTC One rom again. This time it worked just fine. At this point, I thought I had discovered a valid method for fixing my soft bricked phone, so I decided to experiment with Viper and Android Revolutions roms to see if I could get them to work. I followed the process of installing a custom rom, getting stuck on the splash screen, formatting the data, then reinstalling the stock rom 3 times. On all three times the stock rom worked when I installed it. However, on the 4th iteration of this cycle, I reached the state I described above.
I tried using the RUU utility, but it doesn’t work (I get a signature verification error). I can enter bootloader and recovery without issue.
I've had this happen to me, Make sure that you re-lock your bootloader before the RUU
fastboot oem lock
I believe this will allow the RUU to start up right and repair. Lemme know how that goes.

Do you mean you have had the same blank screen problam as well? Or RUU wouldn't work for you?
I'm pretty sure i relocked the bootloader when I tried doing the RUU, but I will definitely try again. Unfortunately, I'm on a trip at the moment, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to look at it again (hopefully Saturday or Tuesday).
