HELP! Sort of ?? Bricked my new Sprint TP2 WM6.5 upgrade

JohnMcD348 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-21-2010, 04:13 PM

I just installed the new HTC Sprint upgrade and now my TP2 doesn't want to work properly. I can't seem to get the Talk/End/Power Hard reset to work either. This was running the stock ROM prior to attempting to upgrade it.

I downloaded and ran the upgrade and then went through to run some of the CABs I'd been using with the previous OS. I "Think" that when I ran the Sprint TP2 Tweaks Cab, it screwed something up. Prior to that, the only other CAB I ran was the Task Manager tweak.

Now when I press the power button, I get the blurry bubbles screen with Calender in the bottom left and Contacts in the bottom right. At the top of the screen I see: Tap here to launch HTC Sense

I do have the Start button and it will bring up a few icons but they do not work. I have tried to find a settings area where I could possibly go in and uninstall the Tweaks CAB but I am at a loss. Is there some other way for me to work on this device or do I have to send it back in for repair? Is it "Bricked"

I'm new to this so I'm kinda at a loss here.

Please Help. I need this phone. I rely on it for work.

Talk/End and Volume Down, with phone off, to hard reset.
Don't install all your old cabs as many are different for 6.5.
Research them a bit before installing and try them one at a time to see which is causing issues.

If you have the 6.5 ROM on your computer, just run it again with your phone connected via the HTC USB cable that came with the phone. Once you run the ROM installation it will re-initiate the ROM install sequence to your phone and hopefully work once it's been loaded ag ain. Hopefully thats how you originally updated your phone.

I tried rerunning the upgrade but I can't get the phone to connect to WMDC at the moment.

Don't freak out, it happened to me too.. it's that stupid TP2 tweak cab; so DO NOT install it again. Now, take the battery out, put it in, and do the hard reset (power, send, and end). You'd be fine!

So tell me why is it "stupid" if it clearly states that IT DOES NOT WORK FOR 6.5?

You guys ROCK!!

I don't know how I did it but I got the Hard Reset to finally happen and it reset everything back to the WM6.5. First thing was to get rid of the CAB file in the SD Card.

So I'm guessing that none of the WM6.1 stuff will work on the newer 6.5?

Yeah, that cab you had was for 6.1. The maker of that cleanup cab has a 6.5 one ready and should be releasing it sometime this evening as he stated, so look out for that
