Recovering from a bad flash...

I was running xelencin's latest custom rom. I have used his previous versions and all was good.
This one hung at 98%. I was just letting it do its thing when out of nowhere, BSOD. So now my phone is just sitting at 98%. I thought there was a forum post here about recovering but I'm not able to find it.
Thanks.

Update: After a soft reset, I am back to the multicolor screen. When I plug it in, it says USB in the bottom left hand corner. Device manager shows a PocketPC USB Sync device as well.
When I perform a hard reset (Comm Button + Voice Dial held, then press soft reset with stylus), I am taken right back to the same multicolor screen.

You're at the bootloader.
This is a Good Thing(tm).
At this point, you should be able to rerun any (assuming you are CID unlocked) any RUU ROM upgrade. Let it do its thing and you'll be good to go.

For those that get stuck here in the future:
I had to extract the installer so as I could get past the CID unlock. I then ran "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" and all went well!

Yep, I went thru the exact same thing yesterday when trying to upgrade to 2.24. My PC decided to shutdown (not restart, a complete instant shutdown!) at 8% flashing. I decided to grab the "Mr Clean AKU2.3 ROM" which already had the ROM flash program available separately and then just put in the .nbf file I wanted and it was good to go

if your not cid unlocked, then what? xtract what? to wherehow can i transfer any thing, it seems though the device screen says usb, the avtivesync doesnt detects my phone. n?m, ive got it

What happen when your not CID unlocked? I had removed my hardspl before I tried to again flash a rom. I am stucked with the bootloader now...
Pls help

Only Official stock rom or the wizard_love rom will get flashed,no other wm6 rom is possible.

Error 270 -

IPL:5.04.0001
SPL:5.04.000
HTC Herald/ non-branded
ROM:
Tried to Update ROM but ive had no luck. i installed the Aserg Policy Cab, ran it. Soft reset the phone. After that the phone would not go passed the splash.
Ive put the device in bootloader, and Ran the RUU but it did not work. Ive tried HardSPLing the phone again, it did not work.
Every ROM I try in bootloader mode I get error 270 - the file is corrupt. All the herald files cant be corrupt.
If i try, running the ruu utility, without putting the phone in bootloader, the device keeps restarting itself.
I've tried the SD card method. Formatted the card to Fat32 put the nbh file in there named it Heraimg.nbh. Didn't do anything. used canonyang.nbh. didnt do anything. When i pop the SD card in, nothing happens.
Any other idea's. Someone mentions removing the spl.nbh file and running it.. but I dont see how that would help.

the SPL contains the CID lock so you should remove it if your phone is Hardspl'd
your phone, however, is not. It is possible that the HardSPL was removed by reflashing the RUU, but it has been shown that doing so generally does not bode well for the phone.

It might be due to the newer SPL. Your SPL is a 5.x.x.x series and the HardSPL was created with a 4.x.x.x series SPL. I'm not sure if that's the problem, but I wonder if that's a factor...

How do I remove the CID lock on the SPL.
I cant even HardSPL the phone anymore becuase the phone keeps booting 3% of the way. I had a TouchIT ROM on the phone as well.
Is there a way to get a RUU that was designed around the 5.0 SPL

260 Error when flashing

I have just bought a P3600 and trying to upgrade to WM6. Been following the various instructions all evening but cant get any further than the same point regardless of which rom I try.
My phone connects up via USB and is detected etc, I click through the screens on the RUU, and then run it. Prompt appears on the phone to run enterbotloader.exe, click yes, and then it goes to bootloader screen, where it doesnt do anything after that. I try rerunning the RUU whilst its still attached at bootloader, and makes no difference. It just sits there on bootloader screen and program on windows comes up with a 260 error.
Any suggestions please as to how to get it to go further?1 Windows XP 64 by the way.

Just update your HTC driver in device manager, that's all.

I try to do this but I get to exactly the same stage ie it goes to the tri color screen and then the RUU does not seem to be able to detect the phone.

Hmm than is the Problem your Window XP 64 Bit system!
Do the upgrade at windows XP 32 Bit version.

I think I'll try and do it via SD card, probably easiest way! Just have to wait for SD card to be delivered :S

I agree. I found the SD card is the easiest way but could not get it to work without using the SSDL posted here on the forum.
This the info is taken form this forum and can not remember who posted it "Thanks any way"
The only thing did not work in my case was the rebooting using the reset button "Ihad HSPL installed". The only way to get it working was by running the SSPL application after setting the SD card as below.
Good luck
Extract the .NBH file from your preferred ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract
the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract
(http://www.cabextract.org.uk/) .
Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side
and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power
button.
Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about
30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
Make sure your SD has FAT32 and has no label. There have been reports that if SD has a label the
bootloader can not access the TRINIMG.nbh

Well, i couldn't extract the nbh file from the roms I had, but evenutally found one which extracted to an nbh file. Put it on the SD card, and it worked! Also updated radio using same method so got GPS working as well
If anyone knows of a more up-to-date ROM which an nbh file can be extracted from (or any NBH files available for download!) I would greatly appreciate it as this current rom seems slightly unstable (has frozen a couple of times already).
Rom Version 2.0.1.1
ROM Date: 03/07/07
Radio Version: 1.56.70.11
Protocol version 32.89.7020.20H

Urgent help pls. "Loading" screen on

OK. Decided to upload a new ROM as my phone was getting slow and unusable.
It's an O2 XDA (Touch Diamond) with:
Touchflo v3 Build 29946
ROM 1.93.206.6 WWE
09/08/08
Radio 1.00.25.05
Protocol 52.29.25.12H
Boot R1.00.25.05
I downloaded Olinex's unsigned developer Hard SPL and I extracted the NBH file and renamed it DIAMIMG.NBH following the advice here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
On soft reset I pushed the vol down and back buttons to get the boot loader stripes, then let go.
I now have a screen which says "Loading..." and has done for 20 minutes. I have now got the phone on charge while I wait for some help to see what to do next, just in case this is a critical stage - don't want to brick it.
Reading through again I am concerned that this was a procedure for rom upgrade not Hard SPL install, can someone tell me please?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I ended up taking the battery off to get it to reboot. It seems to boot fine back into the old ROM.
I still intend to upgrade it (to SwiftBL's v7.5) but have a few questions:
1. Can the HardSPL be run from the internal storage card? If so is it simply running the exe from the unpacked zip from within a folder? ActiveSync is a bit too flaky for me.
2. Do I need the SIM card in the phone at any stage of the ROM upgrade?
3. On the original ROM I get a drop down menu to setup the phone to the UK O2 network settings. If I load a new ROM, will I need to know these settings?
Cheers

1. HardSPL cannot be run from storage. Only Activesync or Bootloader
2. No. You can flash without SIM card
3. You can use connection setup on any new ROM. Usually starts straight after initial setup.

OK here's where I'm at now.
Downloaded jockyw2001's HardSPL 1.24
Ran it and it got as far as prompting me to run on the phone. I said 'Yes' and the HTC screen went black as expected.
Next stage was to run the DiamondCustomRUU.exe file which I did but this is waiting for ActiveSync. ActiveSync will not sync with the phone now, I guess because the phone is not 'on'?
Where do I go from here?

Use the Hard-SPL in my sig with your RUU.

Thanks, will do (it's not the one mentioned in the ROM author's description though).
So how do I recover the phone from the black screen now? Is it safe to remove the battery to reset?

Battery pulled after reading this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-427945.html
I'll try the SPL you mentioned now.....

Had a good search but can't find out. This Olinex zip contains just one file RUU_Signed.nbh.
Where do I get the other files from to run this?

use the attached . It has the RUU exe and the nbh.

Thanks. This is a signed version I see, was going to use SwiftBL's ROM which requires unsigned.
May take a look at other roms that use signed unless you think that I can load the SwiftBL rom with this version?

is my phone (t-mobile wing) really bricked?

My t-mobile wing will only go to t-mobile screen or bootloader screen, which reads IPL 4.10.0002 SPL 4.10.0000. My computer will not recognize it thru usb. I have read about flashing via sd. i am not very tech savy, but i tried to follow what i could find on the forums.
So far found a ruu rom which the phone will try to read but so far doesnt seem to do anything even after hours of waiting.
Also tried different kind of rom, lzx or something, which the phone also tried to read but gave me a error saying invalid certificate.
Is there anything else to do or am I sunk?

Go to Thewingster dot com. click roms, click tmobile wing, click 6.0 click download, it will take you to the tmobile website.
Enter the number located back of phone under battery. Download the StockRom. make sure you enter your phone into boot loader and install the stock rom. You don't need to be Hard SPLed. Should work because it worked for me. After your phone works just HardSPL your phone so you don't Brick it again.

also when its in bootloader it wont have any notification on your computer.

thx will try suggestion
will try. can i extract a particular file and load it via sd card? that is the only connection i have available right now.

Ya the original Tmobile RUU is in the file. I have never Flashed through Sd card so im not sure how that works.
