Complete and utter noob in help.

Right. I bought this phone (second hand, flashed with shifu 4.2 ROM {I have no clue what this means}) and it worked perfectly. It didn't come with a sim, so I went out and bought two. An O2 and an Orange one. The O2 one had problem's activating, so I placed in the Orange one. The phone somehow screwed up, saying iLockV2.exe is corrupt/could not be found. So, I contacted the seller, he told me to do a hard reset, which I done. The phone worked fine from there.
This afternoon, the phone froze, so I took out the battery and put it back in. The same problem occurred with the iLockV2.exe thing above; so I tried to do another hard reset, it didn't work. After that, I was stuck at the HTC screen where it says:
Code:
R 1.71.09.01
G 25.75.40.02.
D 3.34.shifu
.
I then took out the battery again, and the same thing happened. So I took out the battery once more, and when I pushed the power button it wouldn't turn on. So, I took the battery out and left it for about 4 hours, and put it back in, but now, I'm still stuck at the HTC boot screen (same code as above).
What do I do to make my phone work again?

First of all, stop taking out the battery when the phone is on because that really screws up the files. You are doing more harm than good there.
Try a series of soft resets to try and fix it. If that doesn't work, try a series of hard resets to solve the problem.
If no luck there, go into bootloader ( tri color screen ), hold in power and camera button at same time while doing a soft reset. The try flashing a stock Orange rom ( found in the wiki ) Then re-flash with shifu rom.

Not letting me hard reset, so I'm just going to reflash (Y). I hope I do this right :\
EDIT:
My computer can't read my phone when connected via usb D:

What does the phone do when you try to hard reset ?
When you put your phone into bootloader what does the screen say . When in bootloader, does the bottom of the screen change from serial to usb when you plug it in to your pc ?

The phone just soft reset's when I try to hard reset.
And yes, it does change from serial to usb when I plug it into my computer

Seem's like I was doing the hard reset wrong. Same thing is still happeneing, not getting past the part where it says:
Code:
R 1.71.09.01
G 25.75.40.02.
D 3.34.shifu
EDIT:
After 20 or so hard resets, I've moved onto the boot-loader, then it took about 5 minute's to load to the main OS. I think everything is sorted out now. Thanks

omg, this is getting really annoying now. The phone keeps on crashing at random interval's and can only be recovered by hard resetting :\

Well if it keeps happening try a different ROM just make sure you follow F.A.Q for ROM your flashing.
The thing that it's saying is corrupted is S2U2 and to me sounds like it just can't find the .lnk in Windows StartUp.

Flash OEM Rom before the new one and if you have 2GB or smaller SD Card flash using the SD Card method.

I'd go with what Philux-X says "to which is why i said F.A.Q" try and flash a stock ROM prior to flashing custom so as to clear nand.
The corruption due to stalling sounds pretty normal as the phone does not get to shut down via the usual method.

Sprint Diamond Error, Please Help!

I've searched and asked for help for months and I can't find anything.
My Sprint Touch Diamond is F'd. I tried flashing an unofficial ROM to it, and on the reboot process, it won't turn back on. In fact, it constantly resets...every time I turn it on, or even placing it on the charger it will turn itself on and keep resetting.
I need to know if it's bricked or if there is anyway of getting it to work again. Someone please please please help, im pretty desperate for advice. Thanks in advance.

Did you install the HardspL? Anyways try to hold down the volume down button and the power button while you push the reset button. If it brings you to a multi-colored screen connect it to the USB and flash another Rom. Make sue it is a CDMA if your phone is CDMA.

Yeah, if you can get it into bootloader you should be able to reflash the shipped rom from your carrier. Use the exe. I would flash it at least twice.

i believe its cdma. it was brand new from sprint.

HTC Stock Rom >>> Click Here
If you can get into bootloader mode(press vol down + power)until you see the tricolor bars then you're ok you can either flash the stock rom or unlock it then install a custom rom.
HTH

ive searched these forums for an answer for months and have found nothing, It wont go past the boot screen. Ive tried about ten different roms, which have worked before. Hard reset doesn't do anything, and MTTY is a joke. I am willing to pay anyone who can help me get this thing working, im a desperate man at the moment!

Can you get it into the bootloader? If you cant then your probably out of luck. If you can, flash HSPL, unlock your phone, and flash a ROM.

Yes, it goes into the bootloader. I've flashed a hard spl, it's unlocked. I just tried your rom that makes 12 that I've tried. The same thing happens. The phone turns on to the Touch DIAMOND screen with the red rom info on the bottom and it will not go any farther. Hard resetting does the same thing. I've tried using MTTY, I've tried stock sprint roms.
I know i can get it to work. This same thing happened before and my diamond didnt work for months. One day i decided, ill give it another try and flashed pegasus 6.1 and it worked like a champ ever since. I tried like 4 other roms too and they worked just fine.
I was using PMD's 2.5 rom when it crashed. I deleted all of my text messages, and then the phone froze and didn't turn back on. When I tried to reflash the rom is where im at now...stuck in the boot screen.

I've never been in the bootloader on my Diamond myself, it won't open
If there are diagnostics tools, try them out. Also try flashing on a different PC and OS or with a different cable. Disable antivirus software may also help.

I think I'm sol man. Still no luck.

tilt2 says it Loaded rom and then goes back to boolader screen pls help

i usually put new Roms on my devise so this isn't new to me one day i was putting a new ROM on it and it said it completed successful but when i turned my phone on it was stuck in bootlader screen even when i loaded the ROM through the SD card pls help

Was it the same ROM every time? Einstein said that the definition of insanity was repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Try re-downloading the ROM, or flashing a different one.

i made sure to try out many things hears what i did i
tried using multiple roms
tried the stock rom
and now i think im just gonna leave it on bootlader screen till the baterry runs out and try again but i dought itll work i need a way to relod the botlader if that posible

Unless you have another way to recharge that battery, I wouldn't recommend letting it drain all the way. I have seen several threads started by people who did this and then could not get the battery to charge in the phone without a jump start from an external charger.
Edit:
Did you task 29 between each ROM flash?

Task 29 shouldn't be necessary...
To the OP, download a different ROM, on a different computer and with a different internet connection if possible. You never know (I had to do this once cuz I kept downloading corrupted ROMs).

ill try using my laptop and incase that dosnt work how do u do a task 39

nuts this is giving me so many prob i get it to load the new rom and it sas its sucesful and i see it loadin gon the phone and when it restarts it just goes rite back to bootlader like nothing was laded onto it

um i treid flashing multiple roms on multiple computers and i have a nwe prob god hats me anyway now my phone isnt gets into the progress bar the one that shows u how much of the rom is loaded onto the divice and its just stuck at zero im sry to bother u but this is really becoming frustrating

If its stuck at zero, pull out battery, try again. Switch USB wires, download a different ROM and make sure you have HardSPL. Its a very simple process actually. Not rocket science... So don't panic
Keep at it, and you will get it.

i tried to restore my hard spl and even that i cant put on

I know you said you tried several roms were any of these stock roms?

You shouldn't need to re-flash Hard SPL.
Try the sd card method instead.

Trying to flash official ATT ROM Tilt 2

I'm trying to flash just released ROM for Tilt 2 (http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/downloads/) from ATT. It freezes and reboots itself around 6% down. How this can be fixed? I have HardSPL on.

I just flashed it last night with no problems. I'm not sure but I think it is just restarting the device to send it to the bootloader screen and then it will finish flashing the ROM. Mine did it at 7%. Is it completely stopping? You might give it a few minutes to resume. I did notice that it took a long time to flash (probably all the bloatware they cram in the ROM).
FYI, you don't need a HardSPL since you are flashing an AT&T ROM on an AT&T phone. But, it shouldn't matter either way.

Oh. I thought reboot at 7% was unexpected since previous ROM flashes would never reboot in the middle of upload. I'll give it another try and assume first reboot is expected. Thanks.

yeah, the official rom always stuck at around 7% as I think it was doing some sort of formating of the memory (like task29). Then it will reboot and continue to flash it afterwards, so give it a bit time.
also to be safe, it's good idea to reboot your pc before you flash.

Nah, not task29, but first it flashes SPL_Signed.nbh containing SPL and Radio, reboots into new bootloader and flashes now RUU_Signed.nbh containing everything .

[Q] help

ive done a lot of research and still cant find a solution. im sort of a newb, heres the problem my wifes TP2 when she turns it off and turns it back on the phone gets stuck on bootloadr screen, tried to hard reset but wont do anything. but when i plug it with usb to my laptop if i soft reset it will boot up.I read that alot of people had the same problem and just had to install a coocked rom, well i did i installed energys rom but it still had the same issue. Now its back to stock rom. any info on how to fix this is appreciated and thnx in advance.

Get it replaced under warranty

if you were able to flash a cooked rom, you must have installed hard-spl.
when did you do this, after the problem appeared to be able to flash the energy rom, or before? maybe this could be the problem...

well the first time her phone did it i googled the problem and it brought me here, a thread that said stuck at bootloader screen and their solution was flashin a cooked rom. well it got the phone to boot after i did that but every time if she turns it off and back on it gets sutck at the tri color screen. i installed hard spl when i was flashin rom.

here is a thread on the subject already.[/QUOTE]yea been at that thread also,but my problem is that when i turn the phone off and when i turn it back on it wont boot up it just gets stuck there, like i stated above i already flashed hard spl and flashed a energy rom but it still does the same thing. i flashed the phone back to the original rom but is still gets stuck, the phone works as long as she dont turn it off but after awhile her ram goes up to like 80 so i have to turn it off, and to turn it back on i have to use my laptop. and thanx for the help guys i really appreciate it. and phone dont have warranty i bought it on craigslist.

Since it's going to the tri-color bootloader screen, seeing as normally to get to that screen you would hold volume down on boot, have you checked inside the back of the case to make sure there isn't dirt/debris jamming the volume down button? If the volume adjusts normally once you do get it booted, that may not be it, or maybe it's just a short in the key.
Also, both the stock ROM and energy ROMs are bad about eating ram, and need to be rebooted regularly. Maybe try one of the ROMs that doesn't, like a Jackos rom, which you can leave running for days without a reset. Might not solve your problem, but might at least take some of the bother out of it.

I take it you haven't used the latest NRG ROM. Mine runs for several days.

You've got me, there. The last energy rom I tried was a little bit ago, and was a Maxsense version at that. Even still, it soundly failed my Opera Mobile 10 test on a clean flash off of a fresh boot (it would autokill OM 10 to free up ram without any other apps open). Any rom that does that goes straight into the bin as far as I'm concerned.
I have been meaning to drop one of the more recent builds on to see if that was just a bad experience. Maybe try one of the titanium versions, just to make sure I'm giving it a fair shake. Either way, this has now gotten at least a bit off topic. =P

yea i have the sep 18 nrg rom on mine wich now runs very good. well after a couple reboots with the phone plugged to my laptop, i unplluged it and tried a soft reset and thank god it booted normal, i then powered the phone off and turnd it back on and it worked. dont know what the problem was but i appreciate everyones help.

There is different things that you can do to try and resolve your problem. Start by finding a rom that you would like to install on your phone and save the file to your SD Card. FL5 Mentioned Jacko's rom and I swear by it as well. I run the showlite version modified to my liking and still have on average about 80 mbs of ram open.
2nd thing to do would be a Task 29 which will pretty much formats your phone. This is important to do because if there is any "debris' left over from any of the roms you have installed, this will take care of that. "Debris" at times cause issues that you cannot pinpoint and interfere with the rom that is currently installed. It is also important that you do this step second because once you do a Task 29 you will not be able to flash through USB. At least, I have not been able to do so. I flash from my SD Card. You can get Task 29 here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Once you do that, flash your rom from your SD Card by following the directions here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
Hopefully this fixes your problem. If it doesn't, you don't have to soft reset to free up ram. I use software called "cleanram" and usually run it on level 3 which means that it thoroughly finds processes taking up ram and reclaims it. You can also schedule a daily, weekly, hourly clean under the settings menu. You can find that here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514333
Best of luck.

Oooooooooooo yeah! Task 29 is absolute magic. Completely wipes your NAND before a flash to remove the chance of old ghost files from past ROMs jacking up your system. If you've followed any of the flashing tutorials on the board then you've definitely been doing this step, and thus this shouldn't have been your problem. Not everyone has problems if they skip it, but all sorts of seeminly otherwise random problems can pop up otherwise.

Eh ? I don't know what's going wrong for you, but that's completely untrue. After running task29, you need to unplug the phone from the PC, put the phone into the bootloader (e.g. press reset while holding down the Volume Down button), wait for it to come up and say "Serial" at the bottom, then plug it back in and it should say "USB". Then you can flash via USB (which is safer than flashing from SD card, since it does more checking).

The 20 Sep ROMs have the option of using quick menu. With that option, even with Sense 2.5 and CHT (a RAM hog), I have 88 Mb available on a normal basis. I don't use Opera 10 (also a RAM hog), but I think it would work with the new ROM.
You have to manually select the Quickmenu option.

well the problem with her phone is fixed. but now my hardware keys stay on dim but they stay on, im gonna try doin task 29 and reflashing a rom see if that takes care of my issue.

Well just for future references, I had all of the above problems and tried all of them. Issue did not go away until I did the following steps..:
Run Task 29
Flash new ROM (Issue still exist)
Flash New Radio (Issue still exist)
Reflashed Hard-SPL (This somehow fixed the issue....)
