Is my phone fried?

I posted a question last week and I was installing the ROM and windows crashed. My phone now has the bootloader screen (colored screen with USB in the corner). I had already upgraded to 2.17 which was fine. Any thoughts?

If you can still access the bootloader you have not fried your phone. Get it into bootloader - plug in your USB and connect to your PC and run the ROM upgrade again. If it fails again check the ROM is a good version ( re-download if your not sure) Failing that, do the process on a different PC.
BTW you do not need to run Activestink on the PC.
Best of luck :lol:

Is my USB port broken? Please i'm so confused....help!

I've reading some FAQs and Wiki articles before make this question.
Last weekend my Kaiser crashed into the floor (a very very very soft fall) and the battery jumped out the phone.
I put the battery, and in the first boot.... Ooops!! Tricolor screen showing:
"Hardspl 3.29
Serial "
There is a quick splash screen showing "No image file".
I've tried to boot several times, and i get into OS once, but the pda works so slow.
Solutions that i've tried:
a) MMTY prompt. Boot command doesn't work and i dont know the "boot command" for Hardspl 3.29. Anyway, i dont want to mess with MMTY and get a brick...
b) When i get into OS i tried to connect via Activesync (to reflash Hardspl) but...
After JumpSPL I get "Jump Tricolor Screen"
I unplug usb, uncheck "USB Connections", plug USB... but KaiserKustomRuu doesnt work! It closes after executing it. (The day that i flashed hardspl 3.29 i did it the same way, and everything went ok)
What can i do?
Please help!!!
(I dont care loosing data, i only want recover the pda)
EDIT:
Hi there.
Finally i did this:
- Re-flash HardSPL 3.29 (via MicroSD)
After that, OS always booted (WM 6.0 Official HTC)
However, Activesync does not work. When i plug the usb cable, the battery begins charging and activesync runs on PDA and Pc, but PC says that connection is not possible. I've tried with 2 or 3 computers with same results.
(Allow usb connections is marked)
Also, all the OS gets so so so slow when usb cable is plugged.
Then i did:
- Hard Reset to back default WM 6.0 official ROM
* No way. ActiveSync does not connect.
- Flashing a cooked Rom (WM 6.5 spanish) and a new radio (from 1.27.12.32 that i always used with WM6.0 to 1.70.19.09)
* No way. No i have Hardspl 3.29, WM 6.5 spanish cooked rom, and 1.70.19.09 radio. Everything seems to be ok...except for Activesync.
Please...help....
EDIT 2:
Ok.... i've tried to access MTTY prompt but it was impossible.
When i plug the USB cable i get an error in the computer (device not recognized), but PDA screen changes between "serial" and "usb".
After 20 or more tries i got into MTTY prompt, but that was the last time until now.
So... i think that mi usb port is broken ( is not the cable or the computer, i used some cables and computers)
I've tried to move the usb connectors with a pin, slowly, and i have cleaned evertything, but nothing happens.
What may i do?
How can i check my flash/nand to check errors? Of course, i need to check it but not using USB !
USB port is charging the battery, and windows attempts to install the device (Windows mobile device, as says) but the installation is not finished.

So you are unable to use activsync at all on your phone?

UPDATED the first post.
Is my PDA - USB port broken?

I hate to tell you this.. But a work around could be to Activesync via Bluetooth... Now a days you can get a USB Bluetooth dongle for $5 or sell... My stepsons USB port is so broke that he has 3 batteries and a stand alone battery charger.. he jsut swaps batteries when it dies... He syncs via bluetooth and has no problems....

So, once you have read the entire post...
Do you think in a software or an hardware problem?
Bluetooth sync is a good option, but i would like to investigate a little.
I've reflashed HardSPL, ROM and RADIO but i think that there are more bad data sectors.
How can i check my flash/nand to check errors? Of course, i need to check it but not using USB !
USB port is charging the battery, and windows attempts to install the device (Windows mobile device, as says) but the installation is not finished.
Thanks!!

Try flashing an Android ROM
Hi,
I had the same problem on my phone for about 6 months. I completely gave up on it. A few days ago I successfully flashed an Android ROM to NAND but ended up flashing back to WinMo. Surprisingly my USB activesync / headset adapter started working again!!
I'd give it a shot if I were you. Worked for me

USB only works in SPL. No device found when in WM

It was always working. But now when I connect it to the PC. Only battery charging, no usb device recognized (nothing will show in my computer). I have tried different PCs, all are the same.
And if I boot into Hardspl four color screen, usb can be found. So I flashed different Radios and Roms, even latest stock WM6.1 ROM. Still the USB only works in SPL but not Windows Mobile Interface.
I think it maybe a software problem. But since it is now with stock WM6.1 and Radio, what can I do further?
Thanks!

try to disable "Enable faster data synchronization" under the USB to PC settings and try again.
the USB to PC settings are usually in Start->Settings->Connections.
other than that, i can't think of much else but i'm certain someone else can come up with some more suggestions.

Thanks! I have tried that already after searched over google and xda. But it doesn't work. No usb device show up when I connect the Kaiser. Only battery charging.
Does spl USB mode use different pins from Activesync? Forgot to say, I flashed Hardspl with force-usb.
Maybe like this, the USB port detects PC host before it activate USB function. In spl, the "force-usb" gets the USB port always activated.

changing the radio isnt going to make a blind bit of difference, although stating which rom you flashed and what windows version (PC) you are using might!
If its xp totally uninstall active sync and download the latest version from microsoft and install that
If its vista then download the latest version of WMDC and install that
also after flashing the rom, as soon as you have aligned the screen and customization has completed soft reset and when it reloads go and clear storage.
Did you have a biug storage rom installed before it failed to connect to USB?
Thats about all i can suggest till you supply more info

Thank you for those suggestion. I thought flash new roms will automatically hard reset the Kaiser. I will try to use "clear storage".
The rom I last used is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533617
Before I flashed this rom, usb worked fine.
The problem is no device shown in Windows device manager, not even unknown device. Just like nothing has been plug into the USB port. But same cable and port work with another X1

i'm having the same problem as well after flashing b16b rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3996365&postcount=826
anyone have the solution ? even i chg the spl and flash the stock rom my activesync still won't functioning..the usb port only able to charge the battery only

I would check your pins in the charging port and make sure you can see 5 pins on top and they are not bent

Usb Problem

hi guys/gals
I'm trying to flash a rom onto my phone but as it gets to the stage where the multi colour screen pops up windows tell me that its an unrecognised device
'the device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it'
where the phone usually displays 'usb' is just blank, it changes to serial when the cables disconnected but when reconnected it remains as serial.
I've flashed my phone before with out any issues and I've tried to flash it via the sd card but I'm not 100% sure that I'm doing it correctly, I've renamed the file to Blacimg.nbh booted the phone into the colour screen thing and thats as far as it goes, I think because it doesn't display 'usb' I can't get any further.
I've tried to do it on several machines and get the same problem
are there any other ways I can flash my phone that dont require the cable as I'm fairly sure that theres a problem with the phone.
more info:
rom I have at the moment: Kwbr Topix 2.6.1
rom I am trying to install: Xannytech ROM Grid LEO 1.5
I have tried to update the drivers - it says the file doesn't have any information about my device.
active sync works, I can transfer files and the phone is recognised in device manager just not while in the colour screen mode
just to clarify, I'm looking for a way to install a rom that doesn't require the 'usb' screen or a solution to the problem of the missing usb screen would be nice too.
I have searched but I couldn't find anything relevant.
thanks in advance.

If you had searched you would have realised that most chef's (including kwbr) provide instructions on how to flash roms using 2 different methods. USB or SD Card.
I just taken about 20 seconds to locate one of Kwbr's rom threads and on his 2nd post he actually states how to flash using SD Card method.
i.e.
Q: I am having problems flashing the rom with CustomRUU.exe. Can I flash in another way?
You can try the official RUU for Blackstone to flash. Also flashing from SD card is an option. To flash from SD just rename ruu_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh, copy it to the root of your SD card, and flash the rom from the tri-color screen by pressing the power button.

[Q] sony x1 cannot format????

A few month ago, I'm flash my x1 with custom rom....
it's working good... now I want to flash back to with original rom but not success, phone only show 0%. I tried many times, but the results remain the same. what should i do... plz help me.....

Are you flashing from PC ? If so, this is a common error, follow this advice:
" if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to tricolour screen, then try a different USB port, also do not use USB hub, you can also try rebooting your PC, and can try using another PC. read the thread for even more tips that I don't remember now. also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet."
For me it was ok only after I installed active sync on another computer and flashed X1 from there!
