One too many flashes... (VZW TP)

Maverick0984 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-30-2009, 09:41 PM

Not sure what happened, but the story ends with my TP locking up at "Please wait, phone starting up." This was immediately after a flash. I've completely run out of ideas. Is it a goner?

I've tried holding the middle button and then hitting power in hopes to hard reset and I think it took once, but nothing changed. I can't seem to replicate the hard reset combo on VZW.

you try taking the battery out, then starting it back up?

I had this happen to me too.. not sure what happened.

The way to fix this is to manually put it into bootloader mode (Press the volume down button, power and then reset using the stylus - when you release the stylus keep holding the other 2 buttons).

Plug to TP into your PC and Load the ROM you want using the RUU as usual, it should be recognized and allow you to flash.

I hope this helps!

by the way the posted hard reset steps are wrong... hold the center button and reset with stylus. hold BOTH untill the gray screen and blue letters come up asking if you want to reset... Just thought I would let you know...

It is different for the different carriers, are you sure you are quoting the VZW method?

On second glance of the topic, noone posted how to hard reset besides myself (which was an approx at best), the only method that was posted was to force manual bootloader mode, which worked perfectly.

Just to chime in, I have gotten the phone starting up hang after 6.5 roms on my verizon phone. JD's hangs every once in a while, RGILDOSS's Phantom ROM hangs at boot once in a while, but not as often. Earlier builds of 6.5 seem to hang more. I am trying to pin down why a handful of people have the issue and others don't. Maybe it is the hardware version? I am running hardware version 0002.

I have flashed about 10 different 6.5 builds, hard reset, flashed back to stock, relocked, unlocked, etc...I do see a pattern in certain builds hanging at boot less than others. I have flashed every new 6.5 verizon build that shows up on here trying to figure out what the issues is.

For anyone who has this specific issue (Verizon Touch Pro hangs at boot screen SOMETIMES, and boots fine other times, with 6.5 installed), I would love to hear from you. Thanks!
