Does your device have a bootloader mode? If so get it into, connect usb & start upgrade program. This works on a magician, maybe on yours too?

Hi Smudge,

Take a look at this post & got it from the thread 'stuck in 02 splash screen' at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25830&highlight=himalaya%20bootloader 4th post.

well my friend i think somehow ur OS is lost and all u still have is the extended rom OS image,that's why u still see the splash screen...
i assume that ur device is a himalaya(though u did'nt mention any informations :wink: ),but if really is,then do the following:
1-log in to this forum as user:xda pass:xda
2-go to ftp server from the wiki page(up left ur screen)
3-go to himalaya folder and download any rom u would like 2 have(it can appear in several way,exe file or several files zipped in a .zip)
4-if it's and exe file and u have winrar,then extract the content in a folder,u will find 6 files(maybe less,rarely 1 file more-xda2nbftool.exe-),now forget about this file for the moment
u will need 2 file to fix ur phone:nk.nbf & HimauUpgradeUt.exe(i idvice u to dowload an O2 rom upgrade to prevent country id error wich can be fixed if necessary :) )
now that u have the tools,do the following:
1-press power button+navigation pad(the round one between the green and the red buttons)+reset b
utton SIMULTANESLY,u will enter bootloader mode(blank screen with serial on the upper side of the screen,number like 1.06 on the buttom)
2-put the cradle in usb port DIRECTLY IN UR COMPUTER NOT THROUGH USB HUB
3-put ur phone in the cradle while it's in bootloader mode,u will see that the serial word in the upper screen have changed into USB
4-run HimaUpgradeUt.exe and follow the on screen instructions,u will see a status bar,wait untill it finishes,hard reset ur phone,and here we go :D
i forgot to mension that u should put those 2 files(HimaUpgradeUt.exe & nk.nbf),in a separate folder,close any open task on ur desktop/laptop,and PUT UR CHARGER IN THE CRADLE for the battery don't run out...
hope i helped :D
tell me what happened with u dude,and remember that ur in the best PDAs developping site in the world,so don't worry,hopefully,everything can be fixed.... :D
RAGO :lol:

Cheers, M
