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.

I have G3. i think its 2.25. I was trying to flash my rom when this all happened.
is there any way to charge it without a good rom?

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.

My htc starts up, but freeze during boot up

First of all i do not know where to post this. I have had a HTC wizard for over a year now. it has been working fine after cooking up wm6 and installing it for 6 months. today when i restartet the phone pulling the battery out and inserting it, the phone starts up, then the blue screen comes and shows ispl etc, then windows image shows, there it stops. i do not know what to do. It has been a while since i did pocket pc modding now, and i have forgotten all about it.

Maybe something crashed the OS software.
Hope you have a system backup, or at least PIM backup using ActiveSync because what you need now is a hard reset.
Punching the reset hole (next to IR window) while holding CommManager+VoiceDial, then press "Dial" as prompted.

how do i hard reset my dash/s620?

i have tried hard reset
i have hard reset the phone. i do not have any backup in active sync. and i dont think that matters. because my phone does not connect to activesync since it does not start up. and in the three colored boot mode the phone is not detected by active sync. when i hard reset the phone it just came to the same point and freezed

If you didn't touch the ROM for long time, then it is probably a hardware failure...

READ YOUR PHONE MANUAL, and THIS IS NOT DASH FORUM.

hard to believe
First off, thanks for fast responses.
It cant be hardware(Not as a total theory of course) or likely not, because phone was not touched by water, shock, bumb fire or anything. it laid on my desk, worked, laid on my dask more, freezed. and it has been working for 6 months with wm6. is there anyway i can flash something into it. without activesync, but in the three colored boot mode?

Get into bootloader, plug in your usb cord and give it a minute...ON THE TRI-COLORED SCREEN do you see in the bottom corner "USB"??? If yes, you are OK. Get a stock rom such as the Tmo 2.26 and flash that. If you do not see "USB" in the bottom corner then as far as I know, you are fukd.
For more info on issues, read the linky in my siggy. There is valuable info there that may help with other ways to flash a rom.
Good luck.

i see usb
thanks, guess i am not fked then
Only problem is i have forgotten all about this now, and that i am sorry for.
But i have to ask you, as from norway wich stock rom to choose, what is stock rom, and when you say bootloader, is that an expression for the three colored screen or is that a program, that can flash in three colored screen? Thanks, i do not expect an answer on this noob questions, but i would really apreciate answers.

stock rom & bootloader
stock rom is the rom which comes with ur phone while purchasing it.. u can call it base rom..bootloader is tri-coloured screen which is bios for ppc if it gets fked then phone is bricked..next time if u cant boot up, then u can flash ur phone with the help of bootloader...

that was fast
thanks, but i do not think i have the rom that came with my mobile phone:/
and i do not know how to flash from tri colored screen, because all the files i have tried cant detect my phone.
ipl adn spl are 3.08 if that helps anything.

that was fast
is there an app you use to flash from tri colored

there is no need for any app, just connect ur phone to tri-coloured screen..u willl see usb in down left corner.. then ur phone is connected then run RUU utility.. if any problem comes i am online at hotmail... [email protected]

Can you power down? If not, remove battery for 1 seconds, the re-insert. Then press all at once the camera, comm and power buttons (or I believe you can also press the camera and soft reset. It is in the wiki explaining, as are some stock roms. Use any stock rom if you plan on flashing a cooked rom. The Tmo 2.26 is a decent stock rom, there is a 3.08 on the forum somewhere that you can also use. Get a stock rom. Get into the tri-colored bootloader. Look to see if it says usb in the bottom corner. If yes, connect your cable and using the ruu from the stock rom, flash your phone. Once a stock rom is installed follow the directions to cid/sim unlock your phone. Once unlocked, you can flash any cooked rom.
PS- I am assuming you have a G3 phone.
PPS- reading the wiki and the stickies are very helpful. Give them a try.

im sutch a noob
yeh i got same problem... i will try a hard reset but im at school... hope it fixes it... i got imate jasjam... BETTER WORK OR I WILL KILL MY BROTHER 4 STUFFING AROUND WITH MY PHONE

im sutch a noob

Bricked phone installing rom, help?

Hello xda, so yet another person took the plunge into flashing a rom. Im not sure what I did that was wrong because the install went perfect, it made it to 100 percent and restarted my phone like it was all well and good, but it wasnt. It just sits there perpetually restarting. Believe me I have been looking unfortunately, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. From the threads I read it sounds like I can just go to the boot loader, plug in my phone, then place a stock rom from alltel on my internal storage and flash that, or maybe I was mistaken with what I read. Either way I can't get that to work I can get to the boot loader and hook it to my computer, and the computer will say something connected, but it doesn't show up as a removable storage device or anything. This is the rom I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553844 this is also the tutorial that I used http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
Please, please give me some help.

me too
Anyone have any ideas? I tried using the HardSPL from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839
and I tried may different ROMs with the same problem... So i don't think it's the ROM.
Thanks in advance!

i was able to 'unbrick' my phone...
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. load the bootloader
3. plug the phone to the computer
4. go to sprint.com and get the Rom from them and just use their exe
now it's back to WM6.1
So i guess the problem is that there's not WM6.5 ROMs for CDMA diamonds yet?

I don't know how offical it is, but I have loaded WM6.5 on my Sprint CDMA Diamond just fine.

Alright thank you that worked, I thought I was going to have a diamond shaped paper weight for a minute. I do believe that there are indeed 6.5 roms for the diamond, but I have no idea why this rom didn't work. Thanks for the help.

so I got mine to work with a wm6.5 rom.
this is what i did:
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. then get this wm6.5 ROM: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
this ROM is awesome!
Hope that works for you too.

You Bricked your Diamond
My Diamond bricked the other day and it wouldn't load or allow me to do a reset on it. I found a way to manually hard reset the device.
Hold the power button, the down volume button, and the enter button(the circled button) at the same time (continue to hold) then press the reset button. countinue holding the three buttons until a white screen comes up telling you to press volume up to reset device to original settings. press the volume up and it will reset. Now set up your device and immediately active sync and put a new Rom on the device

Yes thats pretty important to know when you are messing with roms, also make sure to note the boot loader screen which is reset, back, vol down, and power. That is how I fixed my phone. This tutorial is a nice tutorial to look over. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

www.everythingdiamond.info/ this site has cdma versions theyre pretty good

Yeah I actually got my latest rom from there, thanks for all the help everyone you were a god send

check everythingdiamond.info or ppcgeeks.com . Both of those sites have stickies dealing with this and all the roms you'll find there are for cdma phones.

trinity freezes? HELP!

yesterday i installed the rom of one of the above threads (win 6.5.28052) but everytime i boot up my device (when it is installed) it crashes.. constantly the same screen and i cant do anything?
i wanted to flash it to another win 6.5 rom. but i cant even turn on active sync on my phone
can anyone help me?
and fast. because i cant call and sms..
oh and: sorry for bad english

One post below is an exploit that seems to work without activesync, You could try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5336477&postcount=379
If I`m right it should connect again after You have a new SPL onboard. Relatively new here myself...
Another method would be to flash directly from an old SD card (not a new micro with adapter).
Edit : Maybe I misunderstood "turn on active sync on my phone" : Are You trying to flash when in bootloader mode (tricolor screen) ?

i was not flashing my phone in tricolor screen. but i did saw that screen when i installed the new rom?
but how do i come in the bootloader?
EDIT: can u please explain me in steps how i have to do this? (i am not so smart in those things..)
and how do u flash with a SD card?
another EDIT: i came a little bit further. no i see the commanager screen and disabled everything, then i tryed to turn on active sync. but then it freezes I WANT TO USE MY PHONE AGAIN!

Where did you find 28052 for trinity?.
Bootloader mode push on+camera botton+soft reset.

it was an older version.. typed it wrong. it was 28014..
but do u have a clue how i can fix this?
EDIT: now if i unlock my device. i get the windows screen when it boots up and does nothing.. so i cant do even less..

Ths to Supersport:
My recommendation for Flashing is:
Make sure you have Hard SPL on your Phone. I recommend Olipro 1.20 - Click Here for More Info
Be sure your battery is at least 50% full.
Start your phone in Tri Color Screen mode. Steps below
--Unplug your phone from USB
--Hold down the Power & Camera Buttons
--While still holding them down, press the Reset Button using the Stylus
--Release the Reset Button, but continue to hold the Power/Camera buttons until you see the Tri Color Screen
--Plug in the USB cable (if asked about installing a driver, do this), You should see USB in the White Box)
Now you can Flash.

that tricolor screen says:
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.20.Olipro
so the spl version is good?
what to do next?
EDIT: what happens when i reset everything to factory standard?

ok. i did the steps u gave and i am flashing now..
now see what it does..
ow and btw.
how u can do dual boot on this phone? maybe i want android on it if it is possible
where can i find a good version of windows mobile 6.5? becuase the version i have now i dont like.. but the other version i tried was wrong?

Glad You found some help, I currently only have internet access at work...
What a good ROM is depends on Your liking. If You want a clean 6.5 base to install stuff Yourself and have lots of free RAM for bigger apps, check the second post of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551424
The one my phone came with was also from xda-devs but couldn`t run iGO (nav software) because there was too little free RAM, too much preinstalled stuff running like Manila eyecandy...
So if You want a ROM with fancy today screens and other preinstalled stuff You`ll have to take a look around here, otherwise check the one above, many ppl recommend it.
Happy flashing

@flyby.
i dont like the standard skins of windows mobile 6.5 but i like the start menu and the file explorer thing,
and i used SPB Mobile before and i like that!
but what is the lightest version of windows mobile 6.5 here on xda? without that fancy touchflo etc, only the good start menu in the top and a good file explorer were u can scroll with u finger?
