stuck on loading splash screen

[sandyfsx]

Hi, first let me say im sorry if this has already been covered somewhere, i have spent all day searching the wiki and forum to no avail. If the solution is already here please point me in the direction and delete this thread.

I have just flashed my kaiser from the original vodafone WM6 ROM to Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700. At first everything seemed fine, then when i tried to restore the backup id created with sprite backup it restored, reset and now wont get past the loading screen. It shows the vodafone splash screen then duttys htc screen then goes back to vodafone.
I used Hardspl 3.29 before flashing. I tried hard reseting which made no difference. i cant get into the bootloader (tried the camera, power reset thing loads) and i cant connect to my pc as it wont go past the splash screen.

I had a look at MTTY but it doesnt give the options described in the instructions and after reading the warnings about MTTY decided i shouldnt mess around with what i dont understand.

Any help will be greatly apreciated, i love my phone and the idea that ive just broken it scares the crap out of me.

Thanks
Sandy

first, are you SURE you can't get into bootloader?

I know it sounds stupid, but try REALLY pushing the camera button in while pushing the stylus into the reset hole. Once you get to the bootloader (tri-color screen), try flashing a different ROM

good luck ;)

I agree here a lot of people don't realize the Camera button is a two stage button. It stops at Half-Press then you can push again to get Full Press. You need a Full Press to get into bootloader.

Just to clarify.

Press and hold the camera button and at the same time insert stylus in reset hole and hold until bootloader comes up.

In other words, do not let up until bootloader shows. It should take around 2-3 seconds.

[sandyfsx]

yea ive been doing that. After trying many times i have found that holding the camera button down for around 2 minutes after the htc dutty series screen comes up brings up a white screen with the error message;
"the device is unable to boot either because you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press send to reset or any other key to cancel"

The message dissapears if i let go of the camera button, and resets back to the vodafone screen and stays there. If i press the send button same thing happens (just an idiot check but the send button is the green pick up button right?) ive tryed the enter button and both soft keys but all to the same result. I have tried holding down each button on that screen as well and the error message stays as long as i hold the button but when i let go it just goes back to the vodafone splash screen and stays there.

I have tried holding the stylus with the camera button all the way through to this error message, doesnt seem to make a difference.

just to clarify, ive done what you suggest and still cant get into the bootloader.


Thanks for any help, this is driving me mad.

hold the camera button and use the stylus to press the reset button, and continue holding the camera button until the bootloader screen pops up.

i used to let go the camera button as soon as the screen go black, but then it just reset the device instead of going into the bootloader...:p

[sandyfsx]

oh forgot to mention. Shotly after the dutty series screen comes up i get the window appearing sound but nothing comes on screen. suggests to me that maybe its trying to tell me whatswrong but i can see what it is. maybe, i dunno..

Im holding the camera button for around 2 minutes before it does anything, then i get the above error message.

[scotchua]

Do you have a storage card installed?

[sandyfsx]

yes. tried taking it out and doing the same thing. no different.
anything else i could try?

OK But are you also holding your stylus in the Reset Hole?

If yes, And you can't get into Bootloader, well I think you are "boned"

[sandyfsx]

Yes im doing that. Boned? really? What about the error message that eventually comes up? isnt there anything i can do from there? Any other way of reseting it so maybe the bootloader works?
And if its really broken, do you recon my network will send me another or have i just properly voided the warranty?
