My phone whiped itself - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

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!

Help

Okay, so my phone is going crazy and it's really aggravating me! It worked fine for two days, but all of a sudden, when I tried to add a picture to my contacts, my phone began to frustrate the crap out of me!
So this is what happens.. When I hit the power button on the side to black out the screen or when it simply times out, the phone pretty much remains on, but I can not get the screen back on. Other times, when I boot the phone the backlight will fail to turn on and the phone won't even switch to landscape when I slide the phone open..
WHY?!?! I have the HTC Plugin installed with HTC Customizer and TomTom 6.. What is the deal?!
That does seem pretty strange. You weren't messing with the registry at all before that happened? Did you try soft reseting the device? (you probably did) If you have been adding and deleting a lot of cabs, apps and such lately then you may have to hard reset and start clean. If you do have to, don't forget to copy your pim.vol file over to your card for replacement after reset. Hopefully it won't come to a hard reset though. Good Luck, Kevin
Ah. I've already hard reset the phone twice...
I don't understand it.. It seems really quite ridiculous.. Could it be a hardware problem?

2nd bricked phone

Hi all,

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.

I'm sorry, but what is nukespl?

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

If it was my phone, I would have thoroughly read all the pages before I tried it.....
no all that happens when i press the camrea power and reset it is the green light goes out.

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

My g1 has gone mad

Ok so like 10 minutes ago i was charging my phone..... all of a sudden my phone lights up and goes black, so i thought someone had called me and my phone lagged out or w/e and just acting weird so.... long story short when i press any buttons you can see it flicker on and off the lights that lite up the buttons and at the same time the screen goes from the lock screen to the time screen to the power off screen. never did that before... question is
short circut?
ROM?
please note that i do work with my phone in my pocket and i build homes so wood does press against the phone... but again, never had a problem before...
flash
I doubt that where you work has anything to do with it. I had a moto rizr. It took over a year at a shipyard for it to hit its last strides. I suggest rewipe and flash and see what happened after that.
If a wipe and flash doesn't work, I wouldn't even bother trying to fix it yourself unless it is out of warranty. Contact T-Mobile, and they should be able to set you up with a new one.
I say it a program that eventually became corrupted a flash will work.

Is my Diamond dead???

Hi there,
I've a question regarding a strange problem I have atm. I flashed a new ROM two days ago and it worked well and without problems. I did two hard resets because I tested various programs and settings but the ROM worked.
Now my Diamond hang (you can see the time it hung with 19:52 because it froze there) and I did a soft reset. I did not do anything when it froze, I just noticed it as I wanted to call someone half an hour ago. The soft reset did not work though, the boot hang at the boot logo.
I though I'd simply do a hard reset but that did not work either getting me all kind of errors during the customization. It never happened with the very same ROM flashed before though. Not sure why it does happen now.
I cannot flash a new rom because I can't boot though so I can use AS. I can't flash from internal since I cannot copy stuff on there without a properly bootet device.
Has anyone seen such a thing before? It happened out of the blue and I did not change anything or flashed a different ROM or something similar.
get to the boot loader----> hold volume up, enter (round button on keypad) and press reset button (keep holding volume up and enter). you should now see the tri colored screen, plug in your usb cable and now you should see usb at bottom of tri colored screen. with your rom of choice run custom ruu, when you hit update it will return with nothing for your installed rom but will show what you are going to update to. hit go and it should start flashing.
That did indeed help. Thank you very much. My Diamond is back amongst the living now. Not sure what happened there though ...

Buttons Not Working and severe battery Drain

Hi hope someone can help. Over the weekend my TD2 started playing up. All of the hardware buttons apart from the on/off button have stopped working. I also notice that if I turn the screen off with a short tap of the on/off button, after a few seconds it comes back on again. All touch screen functions are ok. It also appears to be draining the battery very quickly, to the extent that fully charged at bedtime (no bluetooth or wifi on and a stable 3-4 bar signal) it will be comppletely drained by morning. As far as I am aware the phone has not gotten wet at all.
I have also re-installed the office HTC rom, which made no difference
Any ideas??
So you reinstalled the stock rom and did a hard reset?
You can try Tarkim's Keyboard controller and see if your hardware keys can be mapped to a different function.
That would help eliminate hardware vs software issues.
I have the same problem. Also my backlight keeps working and won't go off. Can't perform a hard reset because my volume buttons(and all other hardbuttons accept the on/off) aren't working.
Searched for the solution but can't find it anywhere. Who can help me?

Try clear storage app to HR.
Thanks for your reaction.
Yesterday I managed to put an official ROM on my phone.(latest from HTC site).
Problem only got worser. Phone gets complety stuck(directly after boot) in the volume screen. Sometimes its flashes back to the normal screen but only for 1 second. Buttons still aren't working so can't do anything with my phone right now( not even the hard reset methode you told me).
Started to think that this is really some hardware issue. Can't remember that water got in my phone or the phone felt really hard. Any solutions maybe?
Otherwise I think I just go to the store.

One last thing you can try is a Task29 explained here.
Use your official rom (right click on .exe and extract the RUU_Signed.nbh and place in task29 folder, then connect device in Bootloader mode and run the Task29.exe. Follow the instructions in the link.
