NBD 7.9 & Boot problem

[tarantor]

Hi,

I have installed ~2 weeks ago NBD 7.9 and everything was ok. Today I have restarted my phone to change my SIM card but my phone could not start.

I see HTC logo but phone freezes after having NBD logo and nothing happens.

As you can image because of could not connecting to the phone, I can not also update ROM.

Any tip to recover my phone?

Did you try a hard-reset?

[tarantor]

Can you explain what exactly you mean? Probably I do not know what is hard reset on these devices.

[tarantor]

Ok I have found hard reset on the page

But now there is no power also. I also could not boot anymore.

* Press and hold both the Comm Mannager Button and the Voice Command Button
* While keeping those two buttons pressed, press the Reset Button with your stylus
* After about a second you will be prompted for confirmation. Press the Talk Button to confirm

oh I see, you found it.

the hard reset set your phone to the "original state" of the ROM (in that case right after you installed your NDB rom).
what do you mean there is no power?
Could it be your battery is empty and needs to re-charged?

There is no response on the phone now.

I suspect battery is empty but when I try to connect power cord no response also.

If you are sure your battery is not empty try to get into the bootloader mode:

depending on the type (G3 or G4) follow the instructions:

especially step G3.2 or G4.2 respectively.

When I tried to connect to power while the phone is off it takes some seconds before response. Have try.

I have a G3 device (Vodafone VPA II Compact). But there is still no response.

I think it is power issue now. The bad thing is that I have only USB cable at home and the main power charger at work now. :(

Are there any way to charge with USB cable when phone is not open?

[Huckleberry88]

I would suggest following:

1. ensure your battery is full
2. do the hard-reset again - this may solve your problem already
3. if not, try to get into the bootloader mode (see the thread referred to above for instructions)
4. follow the instructions to re-load the ROM

I just tried ... while your phone is off the USB connection to the PC should provide you the current .. at my case the WIZARD starts to charge .. have a try.

----------------
the red LED light on the right above the display indicates the charging .. and turns green once it is fully charged, so in any case, you should see a light, although it takes 3-5 seconds after connecting to the USB.

Does it work?

[tarantor]

I have tried and there is no light. As I remember before it was not possible if you are not connected via ActiveSync.

Anyway, I can try Monday at office.

Thanks for your help!!!

[Huckleberry88]

You're welcome. Good luck for Monday. Hope it will work out. Not much help yet from me but I will be around here.

This was driving me mad as well. I had to put it into bootloader mode (holding camera while resetting) and flash back to the Tmob 2.26 and then reflashing nbd.

The trick is to disable the HTC home plugin before you install any other apps. From what I understand its to do with some mysterious dlls.

I found this out on Friday and so far I haven't had any problems but I guess its still early days.

Good luck!

[tarantor]

OK. It was a power issue and I could make a hard reset at office and it works again now.

I will try NBD 8.1 and see the difference.

Thanks for your help a lot!

[Huckleberry88]

good to hear it is working again!
