Dash Bricked Need Help!!!

I tried using a the google mail java app on my tmobile dash. It froze up on me, and when i turned it back on it just stays at the "tmobile" splash screen. I have tried using the soft key and power button reset but it doesnt work. What's weird is that it wont power down unless I take the battery out. It powers on, shows the tmobile splash screen, then freezes. Is there any other way to reset it or is it totally bricked? I bought it new off craiglslist so tmobile wont replace it for me cause I'm using it unlocked on cingular.
[HTC Excalibur] lezouave:
The power key reset should work. Could you be doing it wrong?
[HTC Excalibur] reveil:
I was facing the same problem but after doing hard reset (Power Off, Press 2 soft key, Press Power On Key for 2 seconds then release soft key) worked fine. Seems timing is very important, try and try.

Help, i think i bricked my phone!

I was installing the WM6 Update released on this website, everything was going fine when i saw that my lil' cousin' disconnected my phone while i moved away from the PC (he pulled the phone altogether).

Now my phone is stuck in the bootloader mode screen (tricolor, blue green/red i think). It detects USB (it says USB on the bottom of the screen whenever i connect it). Is there a fix for it for the DASH? I read the wiki about a fix for a similar problem for the Hermes, but that didnt work for mine.

Can anybody help me please?!

Mine's a T-Mobile Dash with the stock rom from T-Mobile.

Oh god, all this brickage makes me too scared to update. Can anyone direct me to where I can find how to backup my current setup so that I could reload it if something went wrong or I didnt like the Beta WM6?
[HTC Excalibur] Blackforge:
Just try the flash again and it should start working. I had my computer bluescreen while I was flashing an SDA and got to the tricolor screen. It flashed fine after trying again. If its not detecting right. Pop out the battery on the phone and restart your computer and attempt the flash again. Shouldn't be a problem. Definitely scary though. :) I don't think you can brick these unless you mess up the bootloader perhaps...

[HTC Excalibur] leoiden:
you have no idea why it gives you warnings not to run any programs or disconnect while the ruu is updating you think they just give you warning messages because the htc techs have nothing better to do????????
[HTC Excalibur] MrLuna:
Well, tried that, but the computer doesnt detect the phone, meaning it wont connect to ActiveSync. Since it won't connect to activesync the program wont install it on the phone since it can't find it.

Good thing i have insurance. Bad thing i'm trying again as soon as i get the replacement :p

Are there any alternatives though? Maybe i can fix it before i send this one back.

This is from HTC Q&A

Q: I use RUU to update and failed, and my device always boots in three-color mode and cannot enter CE OS anymore, what should I do now?

A: If the update process has failed, you will see that your device will always boot in three-color mode. It's normal and can be recovered. Please follow the instructions below to reset your device and to establish a connection with the computer.

1. Disconnect your Mobile Device from the USB cradle/cable.

2. Reset your Mobile Device.

3. Reconnect your Mobile Device to the USB cradle/cable.

4. Check that the communication cradle/cable is connected properly.

5. Return to the ROM Update Utility.

Note: You should ignore the ActiveSync connection.

WM6: Endless Bootup Loop

A few days before the official TMobile WM6 update came out I download the widely posted leaked version. The Dash started acting up during bootup one day, so I reflashed with the TMobile WM6. Now the same thing just started, and the device can't be used.

When powered on it does the quick vibrate, TMobile screen, Windows Mobile Screen, TMobile screen again, with power up 'jingle', then it just shuts off and starts the bootup sequence again. Endlessly.

Have tried removing the battery, etc. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas of a keypress combo or something I can press during bootup that might jump-start it??? Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] rabilancia:
Take out the microSD card and the unit should boot properly. Mine was fixed with a new SIM card, but a new device may also be needed.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Wound up doing a hard reset. I had tried taking out the microSD card, then it would just hang on the TMobile screen. I also tried rebooting without the SIM card in, then it would do the loop thing. I'm thinking it must be related to software loading during the boot, and the only program I have on the microSD card that loads during bootup is FizzWeather.
[HTC Excalibur] robertgbl:
I think this may at times be related to an auto-install file being present.

If you hold down the "end" key during boot-up it seems to prevent the cycling.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Thanks, will keep that in mind if it happens again. By 'end' key, do you mean the red phone icon key that you hang up on a call with?
[HTC Excalibur] glenbo:
Thanks estranged_inc,my phone is now working I am very very happy
[HTC Excalibur] GnatGoSplat:
Permanently bricking the device is always a possibility whenever flashing a ROM that includes the bootloader (IPL/SPL). If during an update of either the IPL or SPL fails, the bootloader becomes corrupted and won't boot the device. Since the SPL itself is responsible for the ability to flash the device at all, there is no way to recover from a corrupted bootloader short of dismantling the device and flashing it via external means such as JTAG.

The bootloader on a WinCE device is equivalent to the BIOS on a PC.
[HTC Excalibur] robertgbl:
thank you

holding down the camera button and connecting the USB cable worked for me to

[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
But...

Question: Doesn't CidUnlock need to make activesync connection in order to work? You can't achieve activesync connection if you are in bootloader mode.

Is there a CidUnlock that works in bootloader mode?

That would be helpfull since I bricked mine too!!! (read my posts)

[HTC Excalibur] robertgbl:
I believe that any of the ROMs here will accept the phone if it is in bootloader mode. The ROMS on this site all seem to be fine.

I did load, without any difficulty, the 6.1 ROM today. It is amazingly faster than the 6.0 ROMs and has many nice improvements compared to 6.0
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
But my phone is branded

I need to do a CID Unlock before installing any ROM, hence the need for the original movistar wm5 ROM which is the only one my phone would allow.

Or, is there a CID Unlock that works in bootloader mode?
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
How do I use this?

Please excuse my dumbness!
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
put phone in bootloader connect to pc and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

then you can flash any Excalibur rom!!!
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
Giving it a try...

OK... I'm on it!

It's taking too long "verifying information on your smartphone" is that normal?

Anyway, I remember I ran this once before and afterwards I got a "file is corrupted" message afterwards, I guess I just didn't know it was cracked! hehehe...

So after it runs, I just run any ROM or do I have to reboot the phone or something? I suppose not!

Still waiting for the "verifying information on your smartphone" to clear...
[HTC Excalibur] GnatGoSplat:
No, you can't CIDUnlock in bootloader mode.

If you brick your phone and bootloader still works, you HAVE to flash the stock ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
Doesn't work... I think it IS really B-R-I-C-K-E-D!

Ok, I force the bootloader mode, run the cracked software and after the "file was corrupted message" it restarts the phone... but the phone doesn't restart in bootloader mode, it restarts in the HTC startup logo and it stays that way (I'm forced to pull out the battery to shut down)

So I cannot run other roms since I have to reset the phone.

Isn't there a way to do it with the SD card?

At this point, that's my only hope!!!
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
Yeah.. well...

Flashing with the stock ROM will be almost impossible since I did not backed it up (dumb newbie!) and my original WM5 ROM is from telefonica/movistar in Mexico, I don't think there's gonna be any RUUs of those around!!!
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
Phone bricked: I HAVE to flash the original ROM and I don't have it, what to do?

After doing a bad upgrade my Excalibur got stucked on bootloader mode (I corrupted the original ROM or image)

I tried flashing with many ROMS and some cracks (including USPL-RUU) and I learned that:

1. Given that the phone is CID Locked, I can only flash the original ROM: RUU Movistar/Telefonica Spanish WM5 (or something in these parameters), and

2. I can't use the CID Bypass since such requires me to make an activesync connection (something bootloader mode can't do).

The problem is that I don't have said ROM (and I cannot find anything on google that even resembles it)

What can I do?

1. Is there a CID unlock than can be done via the micro SD card?

2. May Hard SPL work?

3. Does anyone in this forum have the ROM I need?

4. Is there a ROM I could use that doesn't check for vendor ID?

5. If I get a hold of another Movistar Spanish WM5 Excalibur, can I backup the ROM?

6. What company may be the equivalent for Movistar/Telefonica in the U.S. or Europe? If I know this would it's original ROM work? (i.e. If Movistar/Telefonica where owned by T-Mobile, would the T-Mobile original ROM work? (I've tried the T-Mobile one though and it doesn't work)

The phone is just 3 days new, I don't wanna take it back yet, I don't like giving up and this great community has helped me a lot... all suggestions are more than welcome!!!

P.S. I must add that USPL-RUU doesn't work because I corrupted the original image, the WM5 to WM6 upgrading process quit at 16%, deleting (I suposse) quite a bit of the original WM5. In fact, I get this version in the bootloader screen: 1.27.0000
[HTC Excalibur] ashasaur:
mkay, that version number is the base line WM6 version number, SO what has happened is the WM6 bootloader was installed, but nothing else, THAT is why It wont go any farther than the HTC logo screen...have you tried one of the new WM6.1 RUU's to see what one of those does?
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
Yes my friend...

I have tried many, many WM6... none work since phone is Cid Locked... I get the classic "vendor id..." message... I'll give a try to a WM6.1 RUU, but if it stayed CID Locked, won't I get the same message?

Ok... I don't think it'll work... I only find Kavana's RUU and such uprade needs an activesync connection.

Can anyone please, please answer this questions:

1. Is there a CID unlock than can be done via the micro SD card?

2. May Hard SPL work?

3. Does anyone in this forum have the ROM I need?

4. Is there a ROM I could use that doesn't check for vendor ID?

5. If I get a hold of another Movistar Spanish WM5 Excalibur, can I backup the ROM?

6. What company may be the equivalent for Movistar/Telefonica in the U.S. or Europe? If I know this would it's original ROM work? (i.e. If Movistar/Telefonica where owned by T-Mobile, would the T-Mobile original ROM work? (I've tried the T-Mobile one though and it doesn't work)
[HTC Excalibur] ashasaur:
well I think(and this is a shot in the dark) that Kavanas WM6.1 rom doesnt require activesync seeing as it disables it as soon as you start the RUU...so I would try that first, seeing as it automatically CID unlocks your phone for you through an installation wizard, also, check your PMs.
[HTC Excalibur] GnatGoSplat:
Usually you can flash with SD card, but there might be CID checking there too. Doesn't hurt to try, I suppose!

You will need a FAT32 formatted SD card (by default they are usually FAT so you might have to reformat on your PC). Then copy the nbh file to it. Just a guess, but I think it will need to be named EXCAIMG.nbh. Put it in the phone and go into bootloader and see if it finds the file.
[HTC Excalibur] estranged_inc:
Stock ROM refers to a carrier provided 'official' ROM as opposed to a cooked ROM from xda-developers.

If you search the forums you will find links to the 'orginal' HTC ROMs, if you can get to the Bootloader screen, these ROM's will flash to you phone.
[HTC Excalibur] StevenTony:

[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
How to cold boot?

I have the same problem than this fellow:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2030959#post2030959

He said he fixed it by cold booting the Excalibur... How do I do that?
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
Yeah but...

Before running the RUU, the MSDOS exe needs the activesync connection to copy the CID Unlocker to the phone... I've tried it and it doen't work...

Already on AIM, check PM.
[HTC Excalibur] estranged_inc:
Sorry, I have an HTC device so I always assume everyone else does to :)

What I mean is, you need to get a ROM from where you originally purchased the phone. So if you have an HTC s620/s621, you need an original HTC ROM that matches the CID (CID = Carrier ID) so that when the ROM is matched against the CID it is allowed to install.

If you have a T-Mobile DASH, you need a T-Mobile ROM, if a Dopod device, then a Dopod ROM.

Make sense?

This is one of the reasons that I always pay the small amount of money to have the CID lock removed from my devices as soon as I buy them. I use imei-check.com for personal choice, your CID unlocker of choice may vary :)

[edit] the USPL and such utilities bypass these checks, but they rely on a usable device. in the case of a bootloader ROM replace, these utilities do not have a chance to be used [/edit]
[HTC Excalibur] kavana:
hold left and right softkey,then press the power button,then wait for about 5 seconds,after that you will see the cold boot confirm screen,then press the blue button(calling button)
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
So, in other words, I'm bricked!

As I've repeatedly said: my carrier is Movistar, from Mexico... I can bet you there's not a copy of a ROM from Movistar for the HTC Excalibur on the internet and I don't have it!

Although... I saw an equivalence list somewhere for smartphones that told which carriers where alike, so, for example if movistar and at&t where alike, I could use the at&t ROM for my movistar phone without CID Unlock. Unfortunately, in said list the only HTC phone missing was the excalibur!

So, if you know which popular carrier may be equivalent to movistar, that would help!

Also, I'm having a pretty hard time trying to find 1.15 ROMS for the Excalibur (WM5), can someone post download links?

Lastly, I saw a thread by a fellow with the same problem than I (stuck in the splash screen, forced to pull battery to turn off) and fixed it by cold booting? what is that? I supposse is diferent from a hard reset which I already did and didn't work.
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
Also...

I sent an email to imei-check and they say they can fix it... but for $120 USD!!!

If they can, why can't we?

I just learned that spanish company Telefonica owns both Movistar and O2!!

Will the O2 original RUU work for Movistar branded phones? Does it exist?

I know the phone is called "XDA COSMO" hehehe!!
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
Isn't that a Hard Reset?

Or is it a different procedure...

Anyway, trying it...
[HTC Excalibur] sergiopi:
And you will discover that.... cold means COLD,:D clean, plain, newborn, without installed application or data :)
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
That IS a hard reset...

And the right procedure is:

1. Phone Off;

2. Press left and right soft keys;

3. Keep pressed left and right soft keys and press power button for 1 second;

4. Release power button and keep pressed left and right soft keys;

5. After 3-5 secs (with left and right soft keys still pressed) confirmation screen will apear;

6. Press send.

I already tried it and did not solve my problem like for the friend on the aforeposted thread...

Then, what is a cold boot? or is it the same?

Cold boot is just the process a phone takes when you tell it to "reformat" your phone to its saved clean fresh Rom
[HTC Excalibur] velascoperroni:
OK.. how can that be achieved?

I followed the method Kavana posted and didn't work, all I'm able to do is a hard reset.

So, for example, my phone came with WM5, as I understand from your reply, even if I upgraded to WM6 (or put a cooked ROM in it) if I do a cold boot it will reformat to the original WM5 it came with?

Cold Boot and some patience worked a treat... took the time to record my ROMver, IMEI and RadioVer to a txt file on my laptop... in case I end up bricking the phone.

Hello:

I have had the dash for about 6 hours now... (a replacement to my recently departed Wing... LCD destroyed) and am having massive problems.

I was exploring the files in the onboard storage... and backing up my pim. I safely removed the device from my vista laptop, did a soft reboot and now I am stuck in this loop.

I have tried many aforementioned remedies:

1. hard master reboot

2. removing SD card

3. Removing SIM and SD card...

Nothing seems to work... and I am wildly frustrated...

Any thoughts...

Also... would it be possible to copy the PIM from my Wing and replace the PIM on my Dash with it?

How can I recovery my cellphone from Stopping at Windows Mobile Screen

My cellphone had a big problem now. After an unsuccessful RUU flashing (RUU indicated "Flash Error" when in arround 70%), it can boot, but can not boot up to OS. Just stop at Windows Mobile screen, then stopped always. This happened when I upgrading from WM5 to Kanava WM6.1.

In 3-color screen after connecting PC by press and holding SYM key, the information is as following:

Excalibur Wifi

ONBL 1.33.0000

Excalibur

SPL 1.33.0000

Excalibur IU

What can I do? I tried several offical RUU tools, but reports Invaild Model ID (if with HTC_S620_WWE ROM), or Invaild Vendor ID (If with T-Mobile Dash, or with RUU_Excalibur_ROGERS_WWE_1.30.631.2_4.1.13.47_02.98.90_Ship.exe). So all of them can not go to 100% becasue these errors... When in 3%, the cellphone reset itself automatically :confused:

try a hard reset...by holding the power button and the 2 dash button (the one located over the home icon button and the arrow button) together when its starts up remove ur hand from the power button and kep ur hand on the 2 dash buttons

do this until you see a scren that ask u are u sure u want to rest ..

might work
[HTC Excalibur] suprajztwenty:
try the hard reset first. if that doesnt work, leave the phone plugged into usb and remove the battery, hold down your camera button and then try and flash with an official rom. hope it works...btw, maybe you should upgrade to official 6.0 before starting with a cooked 6.1.
[HTC Excalibur] oolat2:
The problem is I don't know what's the offical ROM ... So I have to try one by one... But if for HTC Excalibur ROMs, RUU reports Invaild Model ID. If for TMobile Dash or Roger ROMs, RUU reports Invaild Vendor ID.

Are there any tools can view the NBH file to know the CID number of the ROM

Btw, Hard Reset (I think it is same as Cold Boot) can not fix the problem... Still stopping at WIndows Mobile screen.
