Stuck in RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE screen

[galva]

Hi. I already did a search for this but didn't find any help for a Herald.

I tried updating to 6.1 and it would not work. It would start to install but then crash and start over again. I probably tried 20 times and it would not work...not my phone is stuck on this screen with Red, Green, Blue and White stripes. Is my phone dead? Is there any hope? Thanks in advance!

This question is asked at least one or 5 times a week. Please search.

If your SPL still says 4.0.0.0, just flash another ROM. Assuming you have HardSPL setup or you were using USPL.

If your SPL says 1.0.0.0, then follow this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417930).

Sorry like I already mentioned in my post I could not find a thread specifically for the Herald so I made a post.:rolleyes:

My screen says IPL 4.26.0002 and then SPL 4.26.0000.:confused:

There's a million threads on this for the Herald. ;)

Anyhoo, have you tried just reflashing back to the stock ROM or another ROM?

Tell me exactly what you did to flash.

Went to T-Mobile site. Typed in my phone's info and downloaded the 6.1 update for Windows Mobile...followed the instructions to install. It would start installing and then stop or crash I can't remember exactly. But I tried many times. I called T-Mobile and they said I had to get a new phone. I've never flashed my phone or anything like that...I had Spb installed on it and that was it...

Well I took out my ol Wing and tried to do the update once again to remember what error I keep getting.

The update starts to install on my Wing as the bar loading bar starts to fill it stops and then tells me an error has occurred.

ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR

Some type of communication error. But I can recover. So I do and then I try again. I've done this like 20 times before. I don't know if that helps any but thats my problem...

First, find hardspl and flash then flash rom

Sounds like there's a problem with your computer talking to the phone. Try taking tmobile's ROM, take out the NBH, rename it to HERAIMG.nbh and place it into your SD card (formatted to FAT32.) Then turn on your phone while holding the camera button.

Wow guys thanks...I'll give these a try. I am using BootCamp to read my phone.

ivanmmj, do I need format the card using another phone or can I use a card reader. I don't have another phone I could use.

You can use a card reader.

Tmobile has a 6.1 update?
No. It's a 6.0 update.

I was updating from 6.0 to 6.1 and I am running XP in Bootcamp.

Wait...so I'm a noob...T-Mobile's ROM? Where do I get that? Do you mean the update file that I downloaded from T-Mobile? Thanks again!!! I hope this works! And will MS-DOS FAT work when I format the card? I am using Mac's Disk Utility and I don't get a FAT32 option.

Well I think I have the ROM actually. It's an EXE file so I'm not sure how I can go into it and rename a file inside of it. Sorry...my noob is showing huh? Here's what I downloaded awhile back that I think is the original ROM you are talking about.

RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship.exe

IT WORKED! Thanks!!!!

IT WORKED! Thanks!!!!

No problem. ^_^ Glad to hear that it worked. Were you able to flash it through a FAT format? Or were you able to format it to FAT32?
