[htc43owner50]

My Herald doesn't start anymore :( the battery was empty the day before I charged it.. I also answered a call when the battery was almost empty.. after that I put it on the AC to charge it..

the day after.. I turned it on.. the htc screen came.. the windows mobile screen came (I upgraded to WM6) and the the screen goes black and restarts :( htc screen again.. and so on and so on :confused: what is wrong?

if you need to know more then let me know.. but I don't want to take it to a repair centre yet.. please help!

What rom are you using? Try hard resetting the phone. If not, try reloading the stock RUU thru bootloader mode.

hmm I don't know the exact number since I can't check it I do have these numbers:

4.17.404.2
4.1.13.44
02.94.90

these are noted on the exe file of the RUU. It's a dutch version.

try to hold the camera button while turning the device on... if you can get into bootloader, it should show the ipl/spl info... and u should be able to flash the oem rom from there

If it turns on this probably isn't the problem, but it should be noted that discharging a lithium ion battery completely will make it useless; it will no longer hold a charge.

I don't know the circumstances so I can only suggest things where I've seen a reset like that... if you have a memory card in try popping it out and then turning it on.

thank you kraftey:D

it worked! the phone reached the today screen after I popped out the memory card.. That is really bizar.. it would be nice of HTC came with a update for this

My p4350 have the some problem !
I have tried 2 diferent Roms , one of them the Ruu , and have the same problem ! Only with the memory card out it start :/ Im thinking send the Htc to the repair center ...

Is it looping when the memory card is in? But when you remove the card it boots normally?

If that's the problem, you probably have something installed on ur memory card that's causing the loop... try this


take out ur memory card,

Try using a file explorer (like resco or total commander)

and go into your Windows directory and rename a file called

omap850_sdhc.dll into omap850_sdhc.dll.old then soft reset your phone and it should start working fine.

Hi I'm having the same problem.
Now I see the File but it wont Rename. Everytime I Change de name it pops back to its original name.

[duprade]

install total commander or an alternate file explorer ... don't use the built in one.

[Vogal]

Im using a pdaviet Rom, resco explorer and tottal commander dont allowed me rename that file :(

[umchriswho]

If it doesn't work, first try a hard reset.
If that doesn't work, try reflashing.

If none of the above work, all you can do is hard-spl.

Hope it helps.

delete the file... and soft reset.
