Bad ROM install - How to Recover - Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development

Sorry if this has already been covered, but i couldn't find anything!
I recently updated my xda with a bad ROM and the phone would move past the spash screen.
Its possible to install a new ROM even when your phone wont start, and here's how!
Hold down the Vol Down key and press the Power button and you will see the tri-colour screen. Connect your phone via USB and check that USB is displayed on the screen, once it is you can load a new/backup rom in the normall way!
Hope this helps someone!

another problem is that i cant connect it at the pc because the connection by usb dont work.....what can i do?????
you're device is stuck just before flashing a rom (that happens when you perform task29 for instance)
Quote: "If you get a white screen with "hTC" in the middle then you need to take out your battery and enter bootloader mode manually before continuing (take battery out and put it back in, then hold the volume down button and briefly press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button until the bootloader screen appears)"
after that you can flash your device with any rom
Good Luck
get into bootloader mode and then flash a newer radio ROM. solved the problem for me.
p.s. read thoroughly about the correct radio for ur phone before flashing one

After task 29 you have to flash a ROM. Task 29 wipes your device so if you don't hold down the volume down key at the end of task 29 it will not have any operating system. Just remove the battery and hold down the volume down key till you see the bootloader screen. Then flash your ROM and all is ok.
after task29,when your device reboot
press botton "volume down" and will go in bootloader mode
now if you have your device stuck in white screen,remove battery cover
press red botton for softrest and press "Volume down" botton

It won't because you're in the bootloader. Does it say USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen? As long as it says USB when the phone is plugged into your computer, flash a ROM and be happy
Hello!
And what if my hd2 not entering into the boot loader?
Thanx in advance
There is only one way to get into the bootloader.
Hold down volume and keep it down....
After that press the start button and your phone will boot up.
Now you will see the tree colored screen and you're in the bootloader.
Goodluck.

When you are in the bootloader screen, connect the phone to the computer /with the usb cable/ on the same bootloader screen it will change to USB - look at the bottom of the screen:
Open the folder - on your computer - where the ROM you want to flash is:
find the "RomUpdate*.exe" or "Install.exe" /if Android it will most likely say "DAF.exe" - run it as Administrator/ file and run it. Do as it says on the screen.
Do not disconnect the cable, do not touch the device. When it is finnished it will restart the device, disconnect the cable and enjoy your new OS.

use a <4gb or preferably <2gb sd card - class 4 or 2 with LEOIMG.nbh.
HSPL3_pkg after that - make sure .nbh (as above on sd root) is your stock and you CLEAN-reinstall bootloader.
ps:
Then hspl, then radio, then magldr, then windows 7, the hacks, then call M$= LIVE!
Hi guys i have a similar problem. After task 29 i went into the bootloader but can't install any rom whatsoever. I have SPL 3.03 on my devide, mind no not hard spl but SPL. Can anyone please help me solve this issue? I also tried to flash using sd card but it doesn't work. Please help me save my hd2. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, i am facing exact same thing which dannytgt faced (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...count=1)...but with no luck what so ever.....was running a stock rom in my hd2 3.14....wanted to try wp7 and did a task29....after that...hd2 doesnt go into bootloader screen....tried all possible combinations with/without sd,sim, holding vol down, vol up, both with power tapped...power holded etc etc...hd2 always goes into stick together screen and doesnt progress as there is os to load....opened up the mobile and tried with a pin to push the vol down switch directly also....all hardware keys were working gr8 (including vol down and up and power keys) whn win 6.5/android was running.
i know for the fact that this is reversable....if only my hd2 can get to bootloader...i will hv os running in a jiffy....

Isn't it ironic: Stick together!...
There is a guide on How to get back from WP7 here on the forum.
First i would sugest to reformat the card from WP7 bul...
If i understand correctly, you can't get into bootloader or magldr!?
So you can't do nothing?
You can try this sollution and if it doesn't work, go to the service center to reset it totaly.
There was a guy with the same problem here:

Try, taking out the battery for 10 seconds or so then put it in while holding the volume down key and powering up.
Got stock ROM back in first time but kiss goodbye to the data on your SD card. I had to use a Canon camera to reformat the card to get back the 14GB it was hiding.
This WORKED. Thanks a TON splinters69.
For future uses, this is what I did.
1. Took out the battery for about 30 seconds.
2. Put one of the LEOIMG.NBH on storage card
3. After putting the battery held the volume down button and pressed power button.
4. It went into HSPL mode straight away and started loading the win 6.5 OS.
You saved the day Splinters69. Thanks to Clydeb1 too for that modelIDcheckbypass.

Man, did you say blackstone? You should go into Blackstone forum
To go into bootloader, turn off the phone. Press volume down button and the POWER ON button (not start button) at the same time until the screen appear. It works on both Leo and Black Stone
Goodluck

HELP!!! Clockwork partition problem

Hey all.
I got a problem. I opened Rom Manager and did the partition SD card thinking it was going to partition my external SD card.......well, I think it did the internal. Now when I boot I get to the GalaxyS screen and then the screen just goes black. Have to remove battery to reboot. I have tried ODIN to restore a factory image but it does the same thing. Anyone have an idea. How can I just format the internal memory to factory and restore to factory. Thanks!!!
There you go
Hey man... You're gonna get flamed for this, it's one of the things "everybody" knows not to do with RomManager, but since I did the same mistake back in time I'll help
First off: can you get into download mode? (turn your phone completly off, plug it into your pc with usb, wait for the "charging" screen, then press both volum keys + the powerbutton to restart, release the powerbutton immediately after restart and keep holding the two volumekeys till you enter download mode)
then flash this.
Then flash back to stock, or any other ROM that includes kernel...
/edit
And please read some instructions this time (couldn't help it, haha)

(How To) Enter USB Host mode

All,
I inherited a seriously injured HTC surround, and I have decided to use it as a project phone.
Current status - Half Bricked on the bootloader + when it boots it immediately asks to be connected to restore backup. Unfortunately I have no zune backup and neither does the original owner of the device.
So I have read everything I could find on the half-brick issue and it seems that some folks are having success using the goldcard method to over write their boot loader with various HTC devices. I am will to try this but all the vids I have seen tutorials etc show that you have to put the device into enter usb host mode (blue writing on white screen)
Only problem is ....I have no idea how to do this on the Surround. I have tried every button combo on boot and cannot find it.
Someone here must know how to do this in return I will post my findings on whether or not the Goldcard trick works to repair a 1/2 brick surround.
Thanks

Hi,
Power off the device
Press and HOLD both camera and volume down buttons
Press power on button and KEEP holding both battery and volume down buttons
After boot screen will follow the usb screen
Now release battery and volume down buttons
Regards, ansar
Ok I can only get to the tricolor screen showing the 1/2 brick spl. is the the usb host mode? Because I see on some videos on youtube a white screen with blue writing that says enter usb host mode. This is what I am trying to achieve.
Or if this is the USB host mode should I just attempt to do the flash via gold card and see if I can get rid of teh 1/2 brick?
USB Host mode
To enter USB host mode turn off the phone, then press and hold VOL down + camera buttons, then press power.
But the phone will not enter USB host mode if you only see one line en the tricolor screen (this state is half bricked). For the phone to be able to enter USB host mode, the tricolor screen must have more than 1 line but the only missing part must be Serial/USB at the bottom. Check well the videos on youtube, and you will notice before entering USB host mode that the tricolor screen have more than 1 line (someone call this state small half bricked).
My phone is also half bricked (one line in the tricolor screen), the only solution I have found is to do an HTC OEM update, either by waiting for HTC to release an update (that includes a bootloader) through zune or by forcing it (for this the phone needs to be developer unlocked).
P.S. ChevronWP7 is not selling more unlocking tokens at the moment, and the $99 AppHub membership is too expensive for me.
Thanks Guys
After reading your posts I tried it out on my good surround and sure enough was dumped directly into Enter USB Host Mode screen
So now I am sitting here wondering what can I do with this thing it will not boot to anything but the screen to connect to restore backup.
Could I give anyone here anything useful about the device? Maybe disect it and post pics? Maybe someone could find these jtag posts? Or keep it for spare parts? Seems like a waste to just chuck it
Maybe you can repair it

rob243, you can try to install a new firmware, depending if the firmware is a version inferior to 2250.21.40500.502. You can use a tool called Cab Sender (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415) to send firmware version mondrian_2250.21.40500.502.cab (search in xda-developers), for the enter the phone to recovery mode (just press and hold CAMERA, then power, ang then release the 2 buttons).

HARD BRICK almost for sure

Hey members,
Short and accurately: I had flashed recovery to the newest version, then I clicked "Reboot recovery", and now I have a black screen with no response for:
Vol Up + Home + Pwr
Vol Down + Home + Pwr
Connecting while pressing Vol Up
Connecting while pressing Vol Down
ADB doesn't see device
Fastboot doesn't see device
LG Flashing Tool doesn't see device
Just no response. The only thing I see is OMAP4430 device in Windows Hardware Manager, I've installed drivers for it, it shows while I try to turn on the phone while connected to the PC, devices list is refreshing all the time, than after a few minutes "OMAP4430" disappears. It becomes visible again when I try to turn on the phone while connected to the computer.
So is that a hardbrick? Is it possible? OMAP4430 Device showing in Win HW Manager is a proof that the phone "lives" some way. What do You think about that? I'd be very happy to get some advices from You.
Regards,
tajson
PS. Sorry for not the best English.

Try taking out the battery for about thirty seconds then replacing it. Boot up normally. Good luck.
Also could try holding down the power key for ten seconds which should turn your phone off. Then reboot.

Yeah, I'd try that. Also maybe try holding the power button a few secs without battery. I had a laptop I was sure was dead and this helped. Voodoo maybe, my theory is discharging capacitors though. Doesn't hurt to try. Also try spamming a fastboot command to reboot into bootloader in the few seconds the driver's working-maybe it would break the loop. ' fastboot reboot-bootloader'
Sent from my LG-P760 using xda app-developers app
I know you said you tried but have you paved the phone in s/w upgrade mode? I saw you said you tried vol down plus connecting but wanted to be sure. Could definitely be a bad download. I had the same problem where I flashed cwm the first time but taking out the battery helped me.

Almost successful!
OK, so it's comming on the right way! I had finally done successful fastboot connection and flashed the recovery "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p760.img" from the original cwm site.
Code:
img18.imageshack.us%%%%%%%%/img18/6063/dy9m.png
( wipe all the "%" and copy to a new window to see the screen )
But... The screen is still black. I've tried fastboot reboot-bootloader, it says it was made successful, but screen's still black. What to do now?

flash xloader and uboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828
that way at least you should be able to enter into s/w upgrade mode
Are you sure you unlocked the bootloader before flashing the recovery img?
