When installing the ROM update for my XDA2 my phone froze locking the update at 37% the update cancelled now im stuck with a XDA2 with no operating system and it wont let me sync with my PC so i cannot try the update again, any ideas?
you should hard-reset it by pressing:
reset button
power button
navigation button
all at once (yeah give it a try )
the device should display "Serial ..."
plug back into craddle and restart upgrade.
after up to a few minutes of "detecting..." the device should be upgrading again.
I had issue with USB 2 ports and now am always using my legacy USB 1.1 port that brings me no issues.
Didnt work, computer doesnt detect the device so cant upgrade?
schmeade,
You may have to upgrade using the SD card method. I've not done this with the XDAII so I can't give you specifics. But I'm sure it's no different from XDAI with very sall modifications.

What do you mean SD card method, ive got an SD card but how can i A. put the uprgrade onto the card then B.get XDA to read from it, at the moment it just displays a blank screen with serial 1.1?
schmeade,
Sorry for this short response but I don't have much time on my hands at the moment.
There are plenty of topics in this forum on upgrading using the SD Card method. You do need an SD reader/writer that can plug into your PC. You do need to get a copy of Jeffs tools [again link in this forum]. You also need an SD Card 32MB in size or greater.
Don't be afraid to search the forums for information. There is a wealth of it in there.
Have a look at these first. There are some things that you will need to know

OK I used the ROM Kitchen to mave a .eve of the upgrade to WM 2003. In the middle of the process my device lost the connection. Now my device is sitting at the upgrade screen telling me it will be done in 5 min.
What can I do?
i had that happen to me today!
usualy, you restart the .exe and insert the xda,
it will restart the process on its own.
if not, go it the SD card method, as described somewhere in this forum.
good luck.
Hmm...
Because I always use the SD method, I have never used the exe files. My guess would be to soft reset the device and hope that when you put it in the cradle again it will let you run the exe. You may try putting it in the cradle while its in bootloader mode if just a soft reset doesn't work. Only other thing I could offer is to write it to an SD card for you - but that would require you mailing me the SD card + rom, me mailing it back, and a lot more than 5 minutes.
Let us know how it works out.
I am trying the SD way. However, program that is suggested does not appear to be writing anything to my SD card. I have a 6 in 1 USB card reader. Any the program ask you to pick drive 2-4. I have tried all drives and can not see the image file when I try to view the contents of the SD card on my PC
You're not going to see the contents when you try to view it on your PC - your PC will tell you the card isn't formatted.
I have resolved my problem thanks for the help!
When I turn on my phone using JUST the power button, it vibrates, and that's it. The screen doesn't turn, nor do any lights.
When I turn on the phone using the BL Screen (rainbow, POWER+Comm+Camera), it shows me:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40 Olipro
CLPD-9
Then, when I plug it to my computer, it reads the device, and tells me its "WM 6.1.6965".
I want to be able to turn on my phone and let the OS boot normally, but nothing seems to work! I've tried flashing different ROMs and Radios, but they all seems to have either an "Image Error" or "They cannot find a device" on my computer.
I want to be able to use my phone, but I have no idea where to start. How did it get to this state?
I'm not sure.
PLEASE HELP ME. Much appreciated.
have you tried the sd card method. Where you rename the rom in the update called RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh and place it on the root of the sd card ( a fat 32 formatted non sdhc card) any small one will do as long as its big enough to hold the rom normally about 70-100mb so a 128mb or bigger card should work but nothing over 2gb card wise. All you do is put the file that you renamed onto the micro sd card then go into the boot loader screen of your phone via power+camera+reset it will briefly say serial then go to a screen prompting you to update follow what buttons to push to do the update via the on screen prompts, once done it will say update complete. It has been my best experience to take the battery out for 20-30sec when this screen comes up then replace the battery and boot via the power button. Hope this helps.
Oh I could have flamed you for not searching and provided you a link to one of the many forums on here already about the titan (ppc6800) but sometimes its just as easy to take 2 min to post what works as it is to digg up the proper forum via search results.
Thanks for the info.
However, I have searched the forums, and everyone seems to have a happy go lucky time when it comes to flashing, which would mean...that I'M not.
Nevertheless, I have tried the SD Card method, with the proper card (1 gig, FAT32, 1024), and when I put it in the Phone, it says "Loading...", then "NO IMAGE FILE!"
I don't know what's up with that. I've tried different custom and official ROMs, and each time I get that message.
put the USB earphone/ USB power plug into the phone and push the reset button
not to make you sound dumb but make sure that you put the RUU_signed.nbh file on there from the downloaded rom or official rom via looking @ the exe with winrar or similar software ... then rename it to TITAIMG.nbh and place on the card... i had similar problems but got past them via doing a full format of the sd card with these selected options 4kb sectors and fat 32 for the format and un-checking quick format once formatted that way the boot loader saw the image and i was able to flash.
I reformatted using the suggested parameters, and even so, it said "No Image File!"
I did rename the RUU.nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh, and even then.
That's why this is so frustrating for me. It makes no sense that this doesn't work.
Thanks.
i guess you need to search the forums for the program that un-bricks your phone seems that something is wrong and part of the phone is not working, however sense the computer sees the device you should be able to run one of the programs to bring it back.
on a side not try if you have one available another sd card some don't like to work with the boot loader but will still work fine with the phone as an sd card.
The file is on the card base directory and not in a folder right? If you place it in a folder it will not see it. I had to do the SD flash on my XV6800 because I screwed it up by not loading the Radio first.
I've been having some usb problems with my Hermes for a while now:
- it nearly always can't charge with standalone usb chargers now - it will only charge by connecting to computer.
- connection issues with WMDC 6.1. It connects at first but after a few minutes, the activesync connection is lost [it still charges though]. I have Vista ultimate x64. I've been using bluetooth to sync anyway.
I've just thought, oh well, I'm sure the problem will go away when I finally update my rom next time. But now I can't do this, because of this USB problem. The usb connection is lost [orange led light turns off] as soon as the flashing utlity puts the phone in bootloader mode [first time I tried this today, windows was installing a "htc usb sync" driver at this point...weird]. As a result of this I get an "update error" 284 and I have to reset battery and start all over.
Should I try activesync 4.5? A different vista x64 driver (can't find any), or a different OS? I hope there's nothing seriously wrong with my herme's USB port! Can't see why, I've looked after it well.
Thanks for your help! I don't want to be stuck in WM6.0 forever!
If you have an xp machine, you could try activesync 4.5. Does your usb port look okay as far as connections to the motherboard? No cracked solder joints?
Oh yeah...I managed to keep the usb connection in by holding it in place with my finger, rather nervously, while the rom updated!
I had a good look at the Kaiser forum where they're having problems with the usb port's weird htc shape, and loose connections...I think it's the same with my Hermes.
It still can't charge with regular chargers though. Only laptop.
Mate, you can use the sd card method to update your rom if you've flashed Hard SPL. MUCH SAFER than "holding it in place with my finger".... I believe that could be a way to bricksville...
I'm assuming, of course, you HAVE Hard SPL on your Hermes...
1. Format sd card fat32 and copy the .nbh file of the rom onto it. Rename it to "hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert sd card into hermes & go to bootloader - OK button, power button and reset with stylus, hold in until tri-colour screen comes up.
3. Follow the prompts.
If it doesn't do anything then either you've not formatted the sd card fat32 or have renamed the .nbh file wrong. Make sure you have at least 50 % battery power and DON'T reset in the middle of a flash...
Easy as pie...
Cheers...

Thanks for that quick guide to SD card flashing! I've decided I'll do that method for the much riskier radio upgrade.
Yep, I've got Olipro 2.10. Cheers!
Hi,
I would very high appreciate if someone in this community could help me with the Hard-SPL upgrade problem. I read a lot of threads in this forum and in other forums. I tried to follow several solutions but I get stuck all time during the upgrade to hard spl 2.10 with an error 260.
I connected my mobile via USB cable. WMGC 6.1 is running on my PC --> synchronizing has finished. Then I started Ruuwraper on my vista PC --> after I answered yes to upgrade to hard-spl 2.10 --> on my mobile appeared enterBL.exe and was asking me if I should run it Y/N. Then I replied with yes --> afterwards it appeared the bootloader
IPL-SSPL by Desc
SPL-1.09ds
but then there is no reaction for about half a minute. Afterwards it appears on the PC "error 260" (I should check if the cable is connected via USB)
However I see that USB appears on the bootloader screen. In my opinion it should work, but didn't !
if I go into bootloader I read following :
IPL --> 1.01
SPL --> 1.04
IMG 1.23.707.4
My desktop OS --> vista 64
windows mobile center --> V6.1.6965
Can it be that I need a special USB cable for my HTC ?
Or ????
Thanks in advance for your help.
I know that there is a problem with using 64bit OS versions, so if you have another computer you can use that isn't 64bit to check whether it is that or not.
Good luck
Thanks for your fast reply.
I tried on my other computer (laptop installed windows XP SP3). However I failed with the same problem.
When i first tried to flash my device i had a problem of it not connecting to the boot loader, it seemed that every time the phone changed to boot loader the computer would no longer recognize it and it wouldn't be synced with the computer. i think i managed to get around this problem by putting my phone into boot loader (ok button + power + reset button) and then connecting it for some reason the computer would then recognize it and it would work. I cant remember what it was i was flashing it may have been hard-spl
Hope this helps, Good luck
Edit: I found this information on completely different forum that came from HTC about what to do
HTC's Answer: I was instructed to disconnect and soft-reset. Then I was instructed to go to Settings>System>Memory>Running programs and Stop All. Including Active Sync. We then reconnected the phone. Established a sync and ran the utility. Active Sync still goes away and you get the falling tone of a Disconnect. Ignore it and proceed as if everything is connected. Bang Zoom. 10 minutes later I'm loading software. *dance*

this is what is meant to happen as i flashed a new rom the other day on vista and windows had to find the device again and reconnect i think after this small pause it worked again.
Ok, I tried. Following result :
I see that Serial goes to USB but then no reaction. I can see on the WMDC 6.1 --> it shows still "not connected".
I found one article below and tried as well but it starts not automatecly from the bootloader too :
HERMIMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/files/hermes_sd_flashing.jpg
1. If you want to install any ROM (NBH) which is not supplied by your operator or the CID does not match then you will need to SuperCID your device. This can be easily done by installing HardSPL and should be the first thing done if doing any upgrading.
2. Empty (erase the contents) of your 2 gig or smaller non-SHDC MicroSD card (the Hermes bootloader does not support SDHC) from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work) make sure it's formated in FAT32 format. As a precaution you might want to check the MicroSD card for file errors. i.e (Properties->Tools->Error Checking)
3. 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.
4. Rename the .NBH file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
5. With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Ok button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
6. You should see a screen similar to the one pictured on the left (What lines appear depends on what is included in the nbh. If the file doesn't include bootloader code, that line will not appear, and so on.) Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
7. 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.
8. After you get the confirmation that the upgrade is complete, softreset your device.
So you tried flashing using the sd card method and still no result?
yes
and now I tried your suggestion with stop running programs activsync and calender.
Also the same --> error 260
I would've hoped that one of the methods would work, i take it the device syncs up fine normally to device center and you can access all your files etc?
This is the thread i quoted from there is some more information about the problem i don't know whether it will help though.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=42389&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
yes I can synchronize and I can see all the file via vista explorer.
I take it your planning to flash a newer rom onto your hermes, are you running the stock rom that came with it at the moment?
I just ran the hard-spl ruuwrapper.exe on my computer with out my phone connected this gave me the 260 error so it is most probably something to do with the phone connecting whilst in boot loader mode, did you click yes to run any program that it asked you to on the phone?
I did read some where that resetting the pc might work but i dont know whether it will make a difference considering you've already tried it on another computer.
Good luck
See my comments inline :

Actually I bought the HTC in Taiwan (CHT is the brand on the front) in a shop. At the beginning there was a chinese OS and the seller in the shop changed it to the english version.
I just ran the hard-spl ruuwrapper.exe on my computer with out my phone connected this gave me the 260 error so it is most probably something to do with the phone connecting whilst in boot loader mode, did you click yes to run any program that it asked you to on the phone?
yes, it appered enterBL.exe on my mobile. Then I answered with Y.
I did read some where that resetting the pc might work but i dont know whether it will make a difference considering you've already tried it on another computer.
yes, on my laptop (windows xp). The same problem -->error 260. There is only one difference between my desktop and my laptop. activsync (with windows xp) drops during using the program RUUWraper which WMDC 6.1 (with vista) does not.
Good luck

i dont really know what to suggest, what happened when you tried flashing it using the sd card method?
Tried already. Not working too.
program starts not automatically with .nbh file from the SD card when I went into bootloader.
you could try the sd card method again, following the instructions Here to the letter and see how it goes because that should bypass the problem of it not connecting and should work.

I tried again to flash via SD card but my mobile does not recognize the .nbh file. The mobile stays in bootloader mode and does nothing.
Edit :
maybe I made something wrong ? I used the .nbh file from the Hard-SPL. Is this ok ?
i have attached the .nbh file from hard-spl. renamed to what it is needed to be to work. reformat the memory card so that it is blank and in fat32 format, put this file on it and follow the rest of the steps.

Thanks. My SD card is already formatted with FAT32. Is it really necessary to format it again ? I deleted only the files on the SD card and tried it already but it did not work.
If yes to format FAT32 again, do you have also a program for FAT32 formating which is running on vista ?
I downloaded fat32format already but I have to find an adapter to put it into the PC to format. Or is there another possibility to format ?
From the PC I did not find a possibility to access to format directly on my mobile.
there is a formatter on vista but the memory card would have to be connected to the pc, when i brought my micro sd card it came with an adapter to an sd card so i can use it in a usb card reader or the one on the front of my tower.
other wise i dont know if you can format it this way whilst it is connected to the phone.

Ok thanks. I have to buy an adapter. Then try again.
ye im afraid so i cant think of any other ways that might get your device to flash, you could always wait to see if one of the more senior members replies although you may have to wait until tomorrow.
I currently possess an HD2 I have installed android from the dark force team 2.2 my phone seems to be functioning fine however I would like to put Cyanogen on my device. I downloaded the package for it and saved it on my desktop however to port it onto my phone would require me to access my sd card via the computer and ever since i got android i am incapable of accessing my sd card. So how can I put cyanogen on my sd card and is there another way to go about this since the froyo is permanet on my phone?????
Well the easiest way of doing this is to get yourself a USB micro SD card reader and put your SD card into it and copy the ROM to your SD card. Then put the SD card back into hour HD2 and flash the ROM using MAGLDR.
Now your other option is to download a custom Windows Mobile ROM. Then put your HD2 into bootloader by turning the phone off and then hold the vume down button down and press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button down until you see the muticolor bootloader screen. Next connect your HD2 via USB cable to the computer and wait for the Serial in the white bar of the bootloader screen to change to USB and for your computer to show it recognizes your HD2 (this should happen almost simotamiously). Then you can flash the Windows Mobile ROM. you can then use your phone to access your SD card and then use MAGLDR to flash the Andriod ROM.
Also I was thinking about putting gingerbread cyanogemod7 on it since its newer. Is there a nand for it I am having trouble finding one?
If you want to know about Android on the HD2 why are you asking these questions in the Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A forum
You are much better off using the relevant forum, firstly to read the guides and then second to ask questions, I say second because 9/10 your question has already been asked and answered or covered in the sticky threads
