[Q] Bootloader Problem - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have searched all over and can't figure out what is my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have TMO US H2. I've been trying to flash my phone for a few hours to no avail. I have tried to flash a few different ROMs via ActiveSync and I get an error saying it lost connection after it tries to access the bootloader. I then tried to flash it via the SD card, but can't get past the tri color screen, even with a signed ROM.
The tri-color screen shows the following:
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.00.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
Cotulla aHSPL 0x50
Can anyone tell me why I can't seem to get past this screen when trying to flash a ROM?

Sounds like a task for task29. Search for it in this forum, and after you perform it - load a proper rom to your device.

I tried task29 but when it gets to the bootloader it gets stuck on the tricolor screen and says USB at the bottom, just like all the other times I tried to flash it. I get the following error message:
Error [302] - Update Error
The ROM update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. The program will guide you step-by-step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update.
What am I doing wrong? I keep seeing this error message every time.

so you can't even load a ROM from the sd card? that eliminates a bad usb.
You put a Rom image on the root of your sd card (usually needs to be 8gb or smaller). You make sure it is named LEOIMG.nbh. While pressing in the reset button (by the battery), you hold down the volume down button. Your phone should go into bootloader (tricolored) momentarily, then switch to a grey screen that asks if you want to update. press power for yes or vol up? for no. You press the red (phone call end button) and it errors? Is this what happens?

many people report the supplied 16gb card doesn't work for flashing.
for usb flashing, enter bootloader manually. wait for serial to become usb, and then run the flash.

im having the same problem. i have hardspl, i falshed a radio 2.07.50 just fine, then i tried flashing the rom via computer, the bootloader screen would not display the grey coloured screen where you 'update image' and it said lost connection on my computer. I then tried the sd card way, LEOIMG.nbh, same result - no grey screen to 'update image'

Htc Mogul stuck in bootloader Help?

hi guys, I have a mogul for sprint but it is stuck at the bootloader. The message I see is: TITA100,SPL-2.07.0000,CPLD-9 and it says serial at the bottom. I have updated the rom via sd card and it completed succesfully but when I reboot I am back at the same screen. When I plug it into a computer it says the usb device as malfunctioned. I have tried the exitloader but with no usb connectivity its not working. So I have no connectivity that way. Can anyone help?? Thanks
by the way
By the way I should tell you It started after I was in windows and it froze up. I soft reset the device and have been in this screen ever since.
you did not update your bootloader correctly, as your are still in 2.07. that is the temporary BL in which no2chem's program uses to flash the 2.47 bootloader. if youre stuck, use exit bootloader, and run the thing again. make sure you go through the whole process.
Confused
I don't understand how I can do this. I cant access the device with usb so I cannot run exit bootloader on the computer and I cannot install nuespl update because I cant usb connect to the device and cannot get into the windows os on the device.

You didn't update your bootloader before you flashed, that's what's causing your problems.
While in the bootloader, if you plug it in via USB, it should change to USB at the bottom. Flash the Official 3.56 Sprint Rom to be able to boot into Windows Mobile again. Then connect to Activesync and update your bootloader first BEFORE you flash any custom roms/radios.
hmm
ok i tried that but the ruu program gives me error 260 cannot connect to usb. Which doesn't surprise me becuase the second I plug the usb cable it windows says the device is not recognized. What am i missing?
Into windows
Ok I got into windows mobile by plugging the phone into the power outlet and soft reseting the phone. Then I can unplug it and Its fine and in windows but if i reset it without it being plugged into the wall its stuck at the boot loader again. Any ideas whats going on with this thing

I would start from scratch again like GC said. Get into Activesync... and do the Bootloader flash... then reflash the Radio/Rom.

hit the 2 buttons with the dot on them,at the same time press the rest button at the bottom were the usb plugs in.make sure you have the right activesync for your OS.xp uses 4.5 and vista uses mobile center.also make sure when your flashing your ppc that you disable the stand by power mode,uncheck all option that would put your ppc in standby will your flashing it.

Please stop typing in all caps.
Then describe what you did that resulted in this. Did you try to flash a custom ROM? If so, it probably failed because you didn't update your bootloader.
i'm having the same problem... tri-color bars:
TITA100
SPL-2.07.0000
CPLD-9
Serial (USB when i plug in the usb cable)
PC would not recognize the device so i can not run the exit boot loader that seems to solve the problem for a lot of ppl here.
The scenario with my device: i was not trying to update anything. the phone dropped onto the floor and the battery came loose. when i put the battery back in, it was stuck in the bootloader.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just had a similar problem though my phone didn't even drop, it went into bootloader while I was listening to a podcast via bluetooth. You could try to re flash via sd card(see the wiki), but if you're unable to connect with the pc, your phone is likely bricked. I tried the sd route and though I was able to get the update to complete, it always went back to the bootloader. The phone was swapped out (my 4th!) yesterday, unfortunately they had Moguls so no TP for me! Good luck!
i did get the mogul to reflash via the sd card but it would return to the bootload screen. so i left the battery out. i tried the next morning and the phone proceeded to boot up. it recognized that there is a new image and started to run thru the setup and installed all the files. when the setup completed, guess what, it required a reset. and back came the bootload screen. seems that, 99.9% of the time, after a reset (soft or hard), my phone would return to the bootload screen.
after countless tries, i finally managed to boot up my phone with my personal info restored. but if i need to reset or battery drains and a restart is needed, the bootload screen would return. and the only course of action is to remove the battery and keeping trying until the phone boots up properly.
obviously, i can not live with a phone this way... so i will be sending the brick back to UT starcom for a replacement.
in the mean time, i guess i will get one of those pay as you go sim card for a spare nokia i have laying around the house.
thank you for all the info and tips here... i think i know more about the mogul than some of the sprint employees at my local sprint store.
If your PC is not recognizing the phone when its in bootloader is probably because you don't have the correct drivers installed for your phone. Might wanna google the drivers and install it and then try going through the advice from the other members.
Meaning put into bootloader manually then install correct unlocker (Olipro 2.40 or Nue 2.47)-->run stock ROM (to install radio)-->install custom ROM
I'm not sure if this helps but I just ran in to a similar issue of getting stuck in the boot loader. What I did was use to flash back to the earliest stock from Verizon (for me it was 2.09 and radio 1.30) but I was still stuck in the bootloader screen. I then used titan_exitbl.exe (found here at XDA) and exit the boatloader. Afterwards I did the rom flash one more time and it worked. I was back in to a stock rom. The issue I'm having now is that if I try to upgrade to the next stock rom the process fails at 11% again, and since I never had this issue before with this rom (3.57) prior to oilpro 1.20, I suspect that is the problem. I have to uninstall oilpro 1.20, then try the 3.57 stock rom again or install nuespl 2.47 or something. You guys have any clue how to uninstall oilpro 1.2? Will titan_relocker do it for me?
Here is my thread, and thanks for all the guys who helped me on this one.

keeps happening w/ my Sprint HTC Mogul a little more often now (it's about 1.5 years old). But it just goes away after a while, I really don't do anything.
On Monday I was shutting my Mogul down after fully charging the battery by holding the power button until the reboot prompt came up on the screen, I pressed yes and it shut down like it always has. I removed the battery and swapped to my other battery to charge it and when I tried to boot it up by pressing the power button again I just got the bootloader screen. I tried everything, with power plugged in an not, tried either battery, nothing, just stuck on the bootloader, I even tried the factory reset as a last resort thinking I wouldn't lose much, I sync pretty frequently. Even the factory reset holding the 2 soft keys while pressing the reset button it went blank then back to bootloader again. I am running everything stock from Sprint, no modifications or other software (WM 6.1 from HTC). I scoured the web and found on a ppcgeeks thread that someone had tried plugging the Y-adapter cable with the 2.5mm headset and mini-usb connectors on it and I happened to have it sitting around and plugged it in and pressed the reset button with the stylus again and it booted right up just fine. It also seems to boot fine with any of the other adapters I have (nothing needs to be connected to the adapters, just the adapter needs to be inserted into the phone in order for it to boot properly). I took it to Sprint and they had the techs look at it and had never heard of it before. They offered to reflash the rom but said that there is an equal chance that it could either fix it or brick it and they wanted me to sign a waiver that would release them of any liability if it bricked. I told them I can flash the rom myself with activesync at home, if they're not going to take any liability I'd be just as well off doing it myself.
I also found that sometimes when placing a call I can't hear anything, and when I have my Seidio 3.5mm audio adapter plugged in the audio will not pass through the adapter unless the phone is rebooted with the adapter plugged in all the time, as soon as I unplug the adapter it goes to the phone speaker for audio (music from windows media player) and it will not return the sound to the adapter when it is plugged back in until it's rebooted again.
Any ideas?

HELP - Error with trying to SIM Unlock

I tried the Olipro SIM security unlocker and during the process I got an error and now the device won't boot past the boot loader screen with the error: "Upgrade ROM Code Error Please try again".
I tried to revert back to the previous radio using the SD card meathod, but it doesn't seem to boot from the SD card either.
Options?
Thanks

Hold volume down and reset. You will get the tricolor screen. Connect via usb and flash the stock rom from there. Then start over.

ahh, got it. I thought Active Sync had to be connected, but she seems good now. Thanks

I have problems with flashing

I have such problems:
Method 1: If I try to use RUU via ActiveSync, as soon as the red/green/blue recovery screen appears, the device disconnects and reconnects from my system, and the RUU eventually times out trying to reach the device with error 260 ("CONNECTION"). Meanwhile, the device sits at a "Loading..." screen forever. Out of six or so attempts using this method, the progress bar on the device came up as 0% one time, but never moved.
Method 2: If I launch the RGB screen manually (power+vol+reset), connect the USB, and then run the RUU, then I get error 264 ("CONNECTION").
Method 3: If I copy RUU_Signed.nbh to the root of my storage card and rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh, then disconnect from my PC and launch the restore screen (RGB), it sits at a "Loading..." screen for forever. I let it sit there for about 10 minutes and it never did anything. Do I need to wait longer?
I can restart and get back into my existing installation regardless -- so nothing's being updated. Not sure what I can do to get this on my device.

[Q] Liberated Aria won't boot

A few weeks ago, I decided to install Liberated Aria. I had a few problems with the installation, but eventually it ended up working fine. Last night, I turned my phone off and turned it back on this morning, but now it won't boot. When I turn the phone on, I get:
LIBERTY PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.57.0000
MICROP-031b
TOUCH PANEL-STN 21_00
RADIO-7.08.35.06
MAY 8, 2010,03:56:58
FASTBOOT
and then the options:
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
When I try to boot into recovery, I eventually get:
SD Checking. . .
Loading . . .[LIBEDIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading. . . [LIBEDIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading. . . [LIBEIMG.zip]
No image!
Loading. . . [LIBEIMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image.
and the options change to:
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
The only problem is that I can't select any of the options. None of the buttons - volume, power, whatever - change or select anything. I can't get past either of these screens. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this kind of thing, so any help would be appreciated.
The phone will automatically boot into FASTBOOT mode if you hold down the trackpad button while pressing the power button. Is it possible that your trackpad button is broken and is being registered as held down? Try messing with it to see if you can fix it. Otherwise you may have to get the phone replaced if it's under warranty.
This issue does not sound like it is related to installing Liberated Aria.
The trackpad button feels the same as it always has when I click it and I don't see anything visibly wrong with it, so I don't see why it would be registered it as clicked. I tried pushing it and all the other buttons a number of times with the same results. I even took off the screen protector thinking maybe that was causing a problem. Is there a way I can just put an image on my SD card and have it automatically boot that so I can fix it?
Doesn't installing a custom bootloader and/or ROM void the warranty?
Well, you probably will be able to simply run the 2.1 RUU on your phone since you can get to FASTBOOT. I'd probably recommend that over doing the SD card method because when you do the SD card method, you have to press a couple buttons to confirm actions which may not work if your phone isn't accepting button presses. The RUU method does not involve any button presses on the phone itself.
However if you want to try the SD card method I can point you in the right direction.

Installing a custom bootloader would for sure, but you don't have a custom bootloader. Installing a custom ROM does, but you can reverse the process (via RUU) so they can't really tell.
I downloaded the 2.1 RUU, booted to recovery, connected my phone to my computer, and tried to run the RUU but it gave me a USB connection error. Windows also gave me a USB device not recognized error. My phone does say HBOOT USB PLUG, though. Aside from HTC Sync, do I need another driver?
Do you still have the HBOOT driver installed from when you used Unrevoked? If so you should uninstall that driver I believe. That might be interfering.
Also trying running the RUU when your phone is in FASTBOOT, not HBOOT, to see if that works.
I did have the HBOOT driver still installed. I uninstalled it from device manager and deleted the driver folders. Android Phone doesn't show up in device manager anymore. I retried running the RUU in HBOOT and tried running it in FASTBOOT and still get the USB connection error. Any other ideas?
Try reinstalling HTC sync
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Also try doing it on a different computer if you have access to one. Preferably one that never had any drivers on it before. Just install HTC Sync, then run the RUU, that's it.
I've always had trouble getting the RUU to run. It's bizarre.
If that doesn't work, and you still want to try the SD card method, you can download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?ct1ay7t93d8g742
Rename the zip file to LIBEIMG.zip then place it on the SD card. Then it should automatically detect the file next time you're in HBOOT and ask you if you want to proceed with the install. It's pretty self explanatory. Be patient as some steps take a while and it may appear like nothing is happening. It takes about 5 minutes to finish installing everything and will reboot once during the process. After it's done (it will tell you when it's done), the phone will reboot and there will be a scary looking screen but JUST WAIT about 10 seconds and it will boot normally. Then you're good to go.
After you're done with this, make sure to DELETE the LIBEIMG.ZIP file from your SD card. Otherwise it will ask you every time you go into HBOOT if you want to apply the update.
I reinstalled HTC Sync and it wouldn't recognize the phone was connected.
It seems to have taken a turn for the worse. Now, it won't even turn on. The screen turns on (but stays black) and off and the notification light flashes red when connected to a computer but won't do anything at all when it's not connected. I'll try to plug it into a wall instead of a computer and let it charge for a while and try the SD card method.
I went in today to get it checked out and got a new SIM card and a new battery and it fixed the problem.
Thanks a ton for all the help.

One M9 bricked itself???

My One M9 is stuck on boot screen and I've tried everything. This was just given to me it wasn't brand new though. When I do volume down and power button it just goes to HTC black screen and silver logo then reboots after 2 seconds. When I go to recovery mode to format data and cache it shows data can't be mounted. When I try to install RUU it says low battery when I go on Fastboot mode. And I also tried to install the ruu zip on recovery and it also shows the mount error. I also tried to unlock the bootloader but I can't do it because the OEM UNLOCK option in developer mode is not checked.
My bootloader screen shows
Software: modified
Locked
S-on
I'm so desperate right now I don't know what to do.
I'm having a similar issue. It started with the settings application on my phone apparently getting corrupted. I could no longer open it and couldn't do things like turn WIFI and GPS on and off, also Maps would crash just after launching. This was...inconvenient, as I was on a business trip at the time. Fortunately I had my work phone as a backup. Unfortunately, as I had just bought a larger SD card, I hadn't copied any of my backups over. By the time I got home, the phone would not reboot to the system at all, it just gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
I can still get into recovery/fastboot/download mode, and can still connect via USB in these modes. I first tried to reflash a few different backup ROMS, and some fresh ones. They all had the error "cannot mount /system". I also found out that I couldn't get to the data or system image partitions. After digging around in TWRP, I found that they have a size of 0MB. Looking around various threads, I read that an RUU has a good chance of restoring this, so I tried that out.
I ran into another problem with the RUU...no matter what my battery is charged to, the RUU will not start the install. It fails saying that the battery must be charged above 30%. This is was after I left it plugged in overnight. When powered off, it reads 100%. TWRP also registers it at 100%.
I have also tried extracting the stock ROM from the RUU to flash in TWRP, but no matter how many times I try the .zip that I find in the temp directory says that it is corrupted.
I am Modified/UNLOCKED/S-ON, does anyone have any ideas? I really appreciate any help!
Someone help us, please. Thank you!
