Thanks a million!!!!!!!!!
Lobster is dead? it should be cooked!
Is the Lobster/monet ROM floating around somewhere ?
dead lobby
You've probably either sorted this by now or binned the phone but I thought I'd post anyway as it may help others.
You don't describe what you mean by dead but have you tried hard reset?
WITH PHONE SWITCHED OFF (in your case remove and replace the battery)
1. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys (i.e. menu keys).
2. Press and hold power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Release power button. Keep holding both soft keys.
3. After a while, black screen should show instructions asking user to press '0' key to reset to factory default.
4. Press '0' within the timeout period (which is very brief).
5. If instructions don't appear on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4.
You have to flash it using it's original rom (for locked device).
but if you phone is CID UNLOCKED you can flash it using ROMIUPDATE. just put the phone in bootloader mode and run the RUU Update.

I think thats you right, then the question is when I want to write into with MTTY, with which soft do I draw ROM? Please share successful experience, thanks ~
MttY?its so easy?ehe
Hello folks. The friend of mine has screwed up his Lobster, and now he wants to take a dump from another one. The problem is, mtty says r2sd command is unknown... he tried to issue password command, but we don't know the peoper password.
Does anyone have the proper password for bootloader? Or better... does anyone have a rom dump? It'd be appreciated...

I just somewhat bricked my Lobster today after installing fonts and ce-star into my device. I was so scared I nearly crapped my pants.

I've found this link...
ftp://koxoguest:[email protected]/sp/rom/Lobster_700_tv_os.rar
Its supposed to be the ROM for the lobster. I however cant get it to work as my lobster is stuck on a white screen during boot and cannot get into Activesync. Can anyone advise How i can get into Bootloader mode? I have tried holding Camera key but to no avail...
try taking out the battery, then heating the back of the phone for a while
I did that on my brother's phone(his Lobster "died" the same way) on a sunny day leaving it to heat up for about 30 minutes of sunshine
after that put the battery in and try booting again
OMG......
you can say it clearly
are you update the rom?
if so ,may be the word storage is broken

I had a problem with the power button not working and I was adviced to reflash the original ROM (I never did a ROM upgrade) so I picked the original and latest Cingular ROM. Flashing strated and then hung for a while @ 80% progress, few minutes after continued up to 95% progress and at that point I got ERROR 326 message (INVALID COMMAND) stating that the NBF file couldn´t be used for this phone. I dissconnected the phone and did a soft reset and what I got was the BOOTLOAD SCREEN and since then I can not make the phone exit from it. Later I tried flashing RUU_RIsidoro_2.26.10.2_WWE+CF2SP1_G4, this time it went all the way to 100% progress and the congratulations screen, I made a soft reset (the only way I know to exit the bootload mode) and I got momentarly the HTC innovation screen and right away dissapeared to enter in bootload screen again.
Then I reflash ROM with RUU_Qtek_9100_AKU2_21878_024711_ESN_G4, this time it went all the way up to 100% and success screen appeared, the phone rebooted and is up and running although with inoperant power button.
Since you've successfully reflashed your phone and the power button isn't still working have you considered a hardware fault?
Look for some info/pics on how to disassemble your wizard to verify if the button is well soldered to the board

Luiggi, pls tell me how to flash the phone while in the bootloader screen?!?
There's no secret to flash while in bootloader screen. Use the RUU file. It might take a little while longer to detect the phone but goes all the way to the end
Yes, it has to be a hardware issue

I´ll try the disassembly and perhaps is not a big deal to fix it, I got a copy of the service manual posted in some of the forums, and I´ll give it a try.
Thanks for the advice!

Try first a soft reset while in the BL screen, if doesn´t react then do what I did:
I just plugged the USB cable and run the RUU!! As simple as that and as risky as the ROM you select not being the right one.
is there anyway to unbrick a G4 wizard?
There are many ways.
But please tell us more about symptoms ?
Bricked how ?
What is on screen ?
i was just asking just incase i brick my phone.
when it is 'bricked', there is no way. It is like, when a person is 'dead' there is no way of reviving him/her. 'Bricked' is a terminal word, it may goes deeper as the gurus here find deeper ways to revive a unit.

Jesus might beg to differ... but I ain't arguing!
BOWLOFO:
If you read the sticky thread at top of this forum, you will see how to remove the bootloader from a ROM before you load it.
This means that if a upload goes wrong and you can't get it load normally (eg it might LOOK "bricked"), you can always initialise the loader, an bring it back to life again! (eg it wasn't "bricked" after all.).
"Bricked" literally means = turned into a brick = useful only as a paperweight!
I guess some cases that look like they are "bricked", are actually just a case of needing greater skill to bring alive again.
If you are careful to follow ALL the instructions in that thread, then you should be OK, as there should always be a way to bring it back to life from any "brick-esque" situations.
Is that what "resurrection" means.....

My Wizard is really DEAD now due to the my to power off during Rom upgrading. I did tried hard-reset but it's always display the bootloader screen without 3-color stripper, so it can't connect to ActiveSync.
Please help with your knowledge...

Find out how to enter to Wizard boot mode (Tri-color bootloader screen)
1.Turn your device off
2.Hold the Camera button in and push the power button for 2 seconds
...you should get the 3 color bar screen
3.Plug your usb cable in to the phone
Hope I can revive my device...
KC
This looks good to me.
BTW It seems like you can access the bootloader by different key combination + reset, if we except the CommManager + Voice Record + Reset combination wich is intended to make a full format of the user area.
So I'm used to make a Mail + Photo + Reset combination (keep Mail + Photo pushed until magic screen appears).
Once you're in bootloader mode (Rainbow screen), Activesync won't launch synchronisation as the device is no longer identified as a Pocket PC, better ready to be loaded with a new OS.
Oh one thing. If you're stucked somewhere in the boot process and want to revert to a stable version, make sure you use an official release.
It would be nonsense to try to revive a bad upgrade with another one...

If a soft reset doesn't work then hard reset, hopefully you installed from a fresh rom flash/hard reset anyway?

tf3d never causes me any of these problems, what ROM were you on?
Thank you
... this saved my Day.
I wasn't able to do a Master Reset after Flashing.
OK, so after trying out the last android build from Markinus, winmo is now saving text messages to the SIM.
If I do a 'hard' reset, what will I lose on my phone? (contacts/texts/email setup etc??). Please explain the downside of hard reseting. Thanks! (or basically.. will I need to save/backup anything before hard resetting?)
Also: Will it remove the 'unlock' that I have applied to my phone?
Update: Well I did it anyway. Saved my contacts, but that's about it lol. Hopefully this will get my messages to saving back into memory rather than onto the sim.
Hi, I was trying to flash my ROM with SSPL and a cooked ROM and now my HD2 is bricked. When I turn it on, the white HTC screen comes up and nothing more happens (except the back gets warm). I'm assuming that the little "void" thing below the battery area means that any warranty is void or something.
Can anyone help? Nothing I can do to it will make anything happen. Thanks all!
SSPL? Aren't you supposed to use the HSPL?

As far as I know the "void" thing below the battery is correctly in place. If it was missing - then your warranty would be void.
I would put your phone into bootloader and flash a stock rom.
If you have a european phone check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
If you have USA phone check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Your phone is not bricked, you should be able to reflash back to a stock rom. To flash a custom rom you should use Hard-SPL, if you do this make sure you pay close attention to the directions, because a long time ago I bricked my wizard because I didn't pay attention to details

I bricked my phone after using "Task 29"... PLEASE HELP!
I just used "Task 29", my phone is stuck on the home screen and will not do anything else. I keep holding down the volume buttons and inserting a USB cord to see if it will sync to my computer so I can upload another ROM, but as soon as the multi colored screen comes up, it quickly changes to a white screen telling me to either press the vol button up for a reset or another key to escape it. If I press up it goes right back to the boot up screen and does the same if I press any other button. Is there anyone who could help me.... PLEASEEEE!!!!

So I just got my HTC HD2 yesterday and I've been trying to personalize my ringtone, text message, etc. and then came across the "Themes and Apps" section. I looked through it, read some stuff and noticed that I could customize my HTC HD2. Wanting so, I went ahead and downloaded some stuff and dragged and placed it in my HTC HD2 and installed it. Then wanting to remove some of these themes and apps, I did. Then once I was asked to restart my phone it loads up the "stick together" banner and comes up to this orange "windows" screen and just freezes. Can anyone help? I am totally new and don't know what to do. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Once in a while, after the orange "windows" screen, it takes me to another screen saying "The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from a untrusted source. Press the Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings." Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Yeah, I've been looking at the android, but I don't want to mess up my HTC HD2 again, and when I was reading through the "guides" and "tutorials" of the android, it went through one ear and out the other. Had no idea what people were talking about, haha. But in due time, but if you don't mind simple-ing it down for me, I'll put in the effort of going over to the android side.
