Think I have killed my dad's phone !! HELP

[gaz_az]

Was updating my dads SPV M700 to WM6 and have hit a problem ....

The rom image updated ok, and I used AX3L's 2.0.8.

Unfortunately during the GSM update the software crashed, and froze at 51%. I had to re-boot and now I can't use the phone.

When I re-set the phone it says No GSM at the HTC screen and then stops loading at the WM6 front page.

I can get into the Bootloader by pressing the Power/Camera/Reset buttons, but when I try to re-flash GSM is says error 270, corrupt image. I have tried several files with no luck.

I would appreciate a hand ..... My dad is going to kill me :(

Thanks

try press
power button + camera + reset
to enter usb mode
then reflash the radio again.
hope this works

You can try 2 other things!

Download the Radio ROM again- you may have had a downlaod glitch in the 1st one. V1.38 is the best one to try.

Download and install the offical HTC WM5 ROM- this should be a full ROM including Radio, so sometimes completes more effectively. If you are brave, you can them retry the WM6 flash!

since bricking a hermes i stopped taking chances doing rom upgrades via usb..
the method that is most reliable ad safe is... via SD card
extract RUU_signed file from the upgrade pack (use winrar) and then copy it to the root of a blank sd (mini or micro etc) and rename to TRINIMG.nbh ..enter bootloader and follow the steps.. its fast and most reliable

[gaz_az]

Ok - Thanks for the help, but no luck so far. I have tried the suggestions above !

Heres what I have done ...

Hard reset - no change

Tried to re-flash with WM6 and WM5 cooked roms, but an error comes up saying the images are corrupt. This happens with any image I try.

I have also tried a legit HTC WM5 rom upgrade image, but it doesn't work either. It gives an error at 1% saying invalid device ID.

What I can do it get into the standard bootloader screen, which shows I have a USB connection when plugged in. If I allow the phone to boot up it stops at the WM6.0 picture. It won't go far enough to allow me to get an activesync connection.


ANy more adivice would be greatly appreciated !

Next thing then, is to try and obtain a downloaded Orange M700 ROM- there are a few links hereabouts.

For some reason, your device seems to want only its home ROM. If that fails there are other methods before sending back to Orange!

[gaz_az]

I downloaded an Orange rom, but still no luck. It gets to 1% again, then says there is a error/corrupt image file. Same as any of other cooked images !

What next ??

:(

[nocomp]

well if you were my son, i would advice you,to buy a plane ticket for somewhere very far,leave the house while i sleep,and pray every day you have left in your life,for not find you on my way :D

uhm, question about boot loader and flash on boot loader mode.


I copy file TRINIMG.nbh to root card mini SD, and i can't go as you say...

always Tri colors screen....

You are running out of options :(

Your choices now are to go further down the 'fiddling' route, or give up and return the phone to Orange for repair. At least if its is stuck in bootloader, they may not spot that you have been meddling :)

If you want to play more, there are very few Trinity specific fixes, but possibly some of the questions/answers in the Hermes WiKi (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick) may help, though the Bootloader versions etc won't be relevant.

[Edit: When you are in Bootloader mode, what version numbers are showing on the screen?]

[kame1986]

is it so wrong i was smiling when i read this.

does make me wonder if u told ur dad what u were going to do or whether u were trying to be cocky by giving him a better phone without him knowing.

all i can say is, UNLUCKY !

[gaz_az]

I must say things are looking bad - I think it would take an original orange SPV rom if I could get one. Been to the orange website, but no luck !! Anyone know if orange released one ??

Been looking at the Hermes unbrick thread. Is there a way to enter KITL debug mode in the trinity ??

P.S. Dad knew I was upgrading the phone, already did it once for him and it went ok. No sure he knew I could acutually kill it ;)

[akirainblack]

No Orange haven't released an official rom.
Well Orange UK haven't Orange FR have, so unless he speaks and reads french that's not an option.

[NeilM]

Well, French or not, you've probably got nothing to lose by trying to load the official French ROM

Go Here (http://www.mobilite.fr.orange-business.com/public/oev4/html/fr/pme/mobiles/ba/dl.php?mi=164&pi=2553) and click the Mise-a-jour link (which is French for ROM) and it will open a zip file download without the need to verify the IMEI number.

If that doesn't work, nothing will! If it does load, you will at least have a working phone, even if it is in French, and you can go back over the ROM update again, remembering to apply the SPL Bootloader first!

[tuannghia1985]

Still "not allow", i don't know what the hell Orange was doing with P3600?

Lock everything?........it's suck !!!

[gaz_az]

No luck with the French ROM. Same thing gives an error message about wrong device ID.

I am one step from chucking it in the bin. Any more last minute ideas ??

:(

[tuannghia1985]

erh, bizzard,i can't use "wtty.exe" to view my CID ...
i tape "info 2"and it always appear

Cmd>info 2
CID: Wait interpreter timeout
HTCSF kEØ(HTCE
Cmd>

...............................

Someone have issue for that?

If i can view CID code,i think i can find the right ROM to re-vivre...all suck !!!

[tuannghia1985]

erh, hey guy, your boot loader is english or french? sorry if it's the most stupid question of the day......i think french device use french boot loader,right?

i mean, when screen tri-color appear, use mini SD card to flash ROM, the language it apprear itself is english or french.


p/s : i was telephone to the HTC center, and they say as usual, send it to the center repair.

For french user address is : be sure u have enough garanty which required.
send them and make them crazy.....
