TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

ok so i read a couple other threads that are similar to my post but they accidentally flashed a gsm rom on a cdma. my problem is not that. my phone has been working fine. then today it froze in the messaging app ONCE AGAIN (WM 6.5) so i pushed the reset with the stylus. and bam phone wont boot ever since. it vibrates, white "TOUCH PRO 2" appears and stays for about a minuite, phone then resets itself and this cycle just continues. i dont understand.

so i said screw it, did a manual hard reset via the buttons and it went through that whole process but it still did the same repeating cycle when it tried to boot. so then i tried to get in bootloader and that worked as well. so then i reflashed my rom (xyc squeaky clean) it went through the whole process and again when i tried to reboot it cycles itself.... WTF!!!! so then my last resort was task29... did that and still the same damn cycling.

im so frustrated. i dont understand how it was working just fine and it just quit when doing a soft reset. makes no sense. THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK IT MIGHT BE is i have been running it OC'd at 748mhz for about a monthor two. but it hasnt showed any weird signs and as far as i can see, people have been running them at that speed for longer than 2 months. so im not sure if the POS qualcom got fried or not. if so, it deserved it anyway. but now im stuck without a phone. actually i have a backup that im trying sim unlock and am having problems with that at the moment too. thats a whole other story that is pissing me off as well.

but i have two tps in front of me and i cant get either to work!!!! please help!!!

take out your memory card... and use your PC to flash stock... then re-flash your custom Rom..

gotta start from the beginning sometimes..

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

thanks for the quick reply. didnt think of that. so i went to the stock rom thread and tried both of these....

RUU_Rhodium_W_Sprint_WWE_1.21.651.3_RS_1.96WF_NV_S PCS_1.42_0430_PRL60652_Ship.exe

RUU_Rhodium_W_WM65_Sprint_WWE_2.04.651.4_RS_2.32WF _NV_SPCS_2.20_0224_PRL60660_Ship.exe

and one splash screen is touch pro 2 with white letters and the other is htc with green letters. this tells me that the roms are being flashed correctly but for some reason the phone just cant get passed the slpash screen... any thoughts on this?

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

the SD Card was out as well???? or even if still in(try out too), atleast No RHODIMG.nbh sitting on it..

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

I read some where here that a bad SD card can cause our phones to do funny things... just a thought maybe try task29 without the SD then Flash a your carriers rom also without the SD!

Sorry!
I was too quick to reply and didn't read boredandtattooed's comments!

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

thanks for the replies!!! but i have removed everything. even my sim card. nothing seems to work!!! im no electroics tech nor do i know how these phones physically work. but if the OC actually fried something.... how can the phone still somewhat fucntion? its just not making any sense to me. any other suggestions??? im willing to try anything at this point.

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

Have you tried ..with the SD card out, take the battery out for a period of time say 2min put the battery back in put into bootloader run task 29 again then back into bootloader and flash your carrier rom! shot in the dark!

reasoning, maybe something is staying in mem and taking the power away for a period of time will erase what is stuck in mem!

no dice.... :(

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

I'm surprised you didn't refer him to your thread bugs. ;)

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

haha the things you have to do sometimes to get thedang phone to work. well im glad it worked for bugs but i dont have a problem getting the phone into bootloader. i can do that at will and flash whatever rom. but once its done being flashed, it still wont get past the first slpash screen

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

when u flash either stock rom its supposed to sit on the first splash screen for a few mins.

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

yes but it will eventually show the radio version and the other info in the lower corner. that doesnt happen. before it does that it just restarts itself

Have you tried to just flash a radio?
Maybe flash hspl again then flash a rom?

"it vibrates, white "TOUCH PRO 2" appears and stays for about a minuite, phone then resets itself and this cycle just continues"

Ya this was really familiar, but he was able to load roms and task29 so i thought he/she either allready read my post or it was another issue just with similarities!

Comment on horndoctor's post #9

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

I'm just trying to find a comment that I read...it had something to do with turn off OCT then uninstal OCT before flashing or it can cause issues! but while im looking were you by chance using OCT 1.5 for your overclock?

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

oc auto 4.21 with msm7

and now that you mention that... i remember reading that too. i totally forgot. but its not like i had a choice anyway cuz i could get in the phone. but i did a hard reset which shoulda erased it from the device and the storage card is out now....but i think i may have had the card in the first flash or two.... crap...

and im trying to flas hspl but my comp wont let me. i gotta try a few things first. ill get back to you on that

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

Just went through my OC bookmarks What I was recalling was a combination of the start menu shortcut causing endless reboots! xda-developers - View Single Post - Update:8/19/2010!!! There are now TWO apps for overclocking the Rhodium!!!

and Ninja Ducks OCT1.5 repack for TP2! http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-...-shortcut.html

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

ok soooo.... i didnt see a solution in either of the links. it sounds like a similar problem but i didnt put anything in the start menu either. everything was installed on the sd. so your thinkin the oc had something to do with it?

and i just reflashed to a diff radio and nothing

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

Sorry there was no solution in those links I was just posting the links to the posts that I had originally thought I had read about the problem with OCT and Flashing but it was nothing pertinent to this problem!

So no I don't think it had anything to do with your OC at this point!

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

exact same problem on mine, tried two different sprint factory roms, i see the green HTC logo on one, the touch pro 2 logo on the other, and it resets a bit faster, but ya, they just keep rebooting over and over, i flashed the original SPL back, same deal, and now i cant try other roms, but im guessing that wouldn't help, im just about ready to crack it open and look for blown fuses inside or something. .. been looking thru other forums for this problem too, seems nobody has any suggestions, im prolly gonna crack it open tonight and do an autopsy

Re: TP2 wont boot!!!!
 

umm it kind of seems like it could be some sort of hardware issue... do you guys have TEP? id call up my carrier and tell them about the reboots and have a replacement sent. :dontknow:
