Killed HD while flashing?

---

Hi there,

I had an original german Touch HD and updated it to 1.56 StockROM. So good so far ... then wanted to flash another ROM and flashed 1.56 Olinex HardSPL Wrapper. Worked as well. As it was not possible to flash the ROM I wanted (no USB connection with the bootloader) I wanted to go back and flashed the StockSPL. Unfortunately, this was the 1.14 Stock HardSPL and the flash worked as expexted

Now the HD boots with wrong colors and does not react to screen touches anymore. After a certain time a window comes up with a gwes.exe error message which should be sent to Microsoft.

I tried to Hardreset, but it does not work anymore with the hardwarekeys.
Active Sync does not connect anymore, so I can't access the device as I should to do something ... The system seems to run normally, but no interaction possible ...

Has anyone an idea what I could try? Is there a way to flash from SD card as on the touch diamond? Any autostart application on the SDcard, which causes a hardreset?

I look forward to your suggestions ...

Take out the battery for 1-2 min. Then replace batt and hold down the volume down key and press the power on briefly while holding the volume down key. If you see a tri color screen you are ok. You can place a ROM on the SD card and flash from there doing the same above proceedure.

take off the sd-card, than it should work

so then I could flash either an 1.14 StockROM or a 1.56 Stock HardSPL ...

I'lltry one of them, thanks for your help

I feel better, the tricolor screen appears.
No I tried to flash 1.54 hardSPL and 1.56 official german Stock ROM. Both timers I get the message 'no image file!'

The RUU_signed.nbh is in the root of the 16GB SDcard.

Do I need to flash 1.14 Stock ROM, as I have 1.14 StockSPL installed?

Rename the RUU_signed.nbh to blacimg.nbh.

Always when flashing from SD-CARD you must rename the rom file
to blacimg.nbh

I hope it helps.

Thank you for your help, guys, it is up and running again

Good for you!
