Kaiser stuck at Windows Mobile logo screen

[LoveMyPhone]

I've done the requisite searching so now my post.

I'd like to dump my phone's filesystem and get files from the dump.
I do not have access to the OS. Only the bootloader.

Specs on the phone are:


Model: HTC Kaiser 120 (Bootloader says 130?)
OS: Windows Mobile 6.1
Rom version: Unknown
HardSPL: YES; v3.29


I figure that I'll need:


MTTY
a list of commands that will allow me to dump various portions of the NAND
a list of addresses that correspond to various parts of the filesystem on (in?) NAND
a program to rebuild the filesystem from raw memdumps


I remember it being mentioned somewhere that this was theoretically possible.

Thanks for your help and support.
(sorry about wordiness)

Wow, that sounds so good. I just wish I knew how to help :D Hope you find something, I'll be looking back here to see if anybody has any ideas. It would be handy to know how to do this incase I ever need to do it.

why you don't go to the TRI-Color screen and flash the rom again.. flash one Official like 3.34.721.2 from HTC

to go to the TRI-Color screen must pust together the photo button + Power button and after 2sec the reset all this together
and then connect the usb and flash the 3.34.721.2 htc official rom

I guess I sacrificed a few too many details in favor of avoiding wordiness. I know I'm a bit crazy, but I'd like to try to recover my files. Re-flashing would hose my files for certain no? I'm fairly certain that everything is mostly intact because if the phone is given five to ten minutes, it will get to the today screen. However it will be lethargic and wont connect to Windows via ActiveSync (thus ruling out itsutils for file grabbing right?). Anyways...

Simply put, file recovery is the goal. I'm OCD and not knowing what I've lost is driving me nuts. (heh...)

Thank you, and again, help and support is greatly appreciated. :D

Sorry for necroposting, but I have the same problem with my Elf and this is the only thread about this problem that I could find so far.

Have you, by any chance, found a solution (and still remember it :rolleyes:)?

My details:
Windows plays the loading animation and then is stuck. After a few minutes I get a white screen with black text and some garbled pixels at the bottom which says that Windows was unable to boot (because I may have installed some malicious software, yadda Microsoft fud, yadda) and that I can press the Send key to hard-reset the device, erasing all my data in the process.

The power led is also not active, so eventually I'll have to charge my battery in someone else's device in order to use mine again.

Hmm, it seems I am subscribed to this thread, even though I haven't really used my WinMo phone (or this forum) in about a year. Unfortunately, I don't think I every found a real solution. If i recall, I ended up waiting for it to boot and then copied my files to the SD card. Unfortunately, it sounds like you don't have that option so your data is probably toast :/.
