Help please! Stuck on boot screen
 

Hi, I literally just got a replacement TP2 for my broken one today, just did HardSPL unlock, confirmed via bootloader it was unlocked, did a hard reset via the All Settings Erase All Data back to stock. At this point the phone rebooted and is stuck on the white HTC boot screen w/ the red BRPD info in the bottom left corner.
It is a VzW device.

I tried a hard reset via send/end/volume down and it seemed to work but still stuck on the boot screen.

Try tossing a Rom on the SD card and flashing

Re: Help please! Stuck on boot screen
 

If this don't work, try relocking it and do the process again. then flash a stock rom to see if it helps.

thanks guys, will give it a go...backing up my sd card stuff right now...
will report back

Re: Help please! Stuck on boot screen
 

you know you are having a bad day when this happens, then your only computer with sd card reading ability is your laptop, which has a dead battery, so you plug it in, and your dog chews through the cord...

Re: Help please! Stuck on boot screen
 

ouch...

do you have any old phones you can throw your sd card into and use a usb cable? like an old mogul/tp1 etc?

Re: Help please! Stuck on boot screen
 

no need to worry nayr,
what you're experiencing is normal. the newest stock verizon tp2 rom is unlike any other the community has seen. The phone must be locked to run it. Yes, i know...STRANGE. So, all you have to do is relock your phone if you want to keep using the stock rom, or just go ahead and flash a custom rom and you'll be good to go.

dude thanks so much for the tip. cornelius has been helping me but i am unable to get the damn thing to flash from the sd card.
i get into bootloader and a white screen pops up for a second saying "No image file!"

I have formatted my card to FAT32 to like 5 times, and the RHODIMG.ngh is the only file on my card!

Re: Help please! Stuck on boot screen
 

yea, cornelious can definitely help you on flashing your phone. you can flash from computer or your microsd card.

Cornelius2 walked me through it and has solved my problem.

Razorloves mentioned the issue above.


I could not flash from SD for some reason...
So Cornelius2 walked me through go into bootloader mode, connecting to the PC, extracting the rom.exe contents to a folder, and manually running the romupdateutility.exe


HUGE THANKS TO CORNELIUS2!!!!!!:tshirt:

Im here to help

I just got the HTC TP2. It was working fine for a few hours. It froze and I had to reset it. Now it turns on and goes to the lock screen. If I don't do anything I can receive calls. If I try to unlock it, it freezes. Please help.


Solution:

It turns out that the problem was with the storage card. Remove it and format it and you should be fine if you have this problem.

Re: Help please! Stuck on boot screen
 

hey nayr, i see that you were having trouble flashing via sd. i also noticed that you said you named the file RHODIMG.ngh when it should be RHODIMG.nbh. It may be a typo but it may not...

Gotta say "Man that is some bad luck!" The SD issue is one that drives me nutz! The old TPs just flashed away from my 16GB card but the TP2s are really cranky. I have like 14 or so cards and It will only flash from 3 no matter how they are formatted or the size. I assume you got this fixed by now but if not, I would keep your original 1GB micro handy if that is not what you are using and keep a good ROM (yikes - maybe even stock) on it for the purpose of recovery only. This is one of the 3 cards that work for me and I am assuming it will work with yours too hopefully.

I travel alot and am a kitchen junky so I use to keep a solid ROM on my 16 just for quick recovery but since the TP2 I have had to carry more supplies with me when I travel like card readers and paper MAPS which SUCKS!!! Try driving a Yaris on a one lane pot holed barely paved road in Puerto Rico with cars driving in both directions with a paper map in hand, mountain up on left, mountain down on right and a dog in the middle of the road!!!!!LOL

Good Luck!! Hope I helped in some small way or at least gave you a funny visual!
