Need help, possibly bricked...

[LAYDO]

I tried to flash a custom ROM onto a Verizon XV6900. I am well rehearsed in flashing custom ROMs, as I do it all the time on my Touch Pro with the ROMs that Mighty puts out.

Anyway, the phone at hand is currently unlocked to SPL .41Coke and I tried to flash a stock rom back on it as I was having difficulties with other roms while it was unlocked in SPL2.31Coke. Problem is, it wont boot up all the way and gets stuck on the HTC bootup screen after showing the radio and rom information. I have looked at the thread about unbricking and going back to SPL .36 but I am totally lost as to what to do with these steps.

What can I do to solve this problem?

how long have you given it to load after the htc screen pops up? The first time can last a few minutes. What kind of issues were you seeing when flashing custom roms from the 2.31 bootloader?

I have let it go overnight and still stays on the same screen. I had the same problems with other roms where they would stay on similar screens overnight. One, for instance, was a windows mobile boot up screen that said checking OS below.

I think my problem is that it is unlocked into SPL .41Coke when the radio version is 3.XX...

I believe I can solve the problem by being able to unlock to SPL 2.31 Coke but I do not know how to do this without a working activesync connection...

Should be able to unlock via the SD Card method, in the 2.31 unlocker you will find the larger *.nbh file - copy that to your SD card (2GB or less formatted to FAT32) and rename to VOGUIMG.nbh, put the SD card back into phone and turn on then enter bootloader mode (Power+camera+stylus in reset hole) it should see the nbh file and start the flash/unlock process

You can then do the same with the nbh file of the chosen ROM you want to use in the same way as above to speed up the flash process or if your still having issues connecting via activesync

remember to - activesync does NOT need to connect to flash a ROM - you can prep the file/folder - enter bootloader on the phone (it will say Serial on the phone) then connect via the usb cable and it will change to USB on screen then run the RomUpdateUtility.exe (ruu.exe)

Ok did the above and upon turning on the phone, it enters bootloader automatically and then flashes a white/gray screen that says "Loading..." in blue for a few seconds then returns to the bootloader screen but it is still in SPL .41Coke

[LAYDO]

It also flashes a message right below the "loading...." before it goes back into bootloader but it goes away too fast to be able to make out what it says

[LAYDO]

K the message that pops up says "No image file!"

Can anyone help me out?

make sure you have named the file correctly VOGUIMG.nbh ( case sensitive) , and that the card is definitly formated fat32, and i have always used a 1 gig or less card.

do you still have version 3.xx radio ? or have you dwongraded that as well? cause .41 is for non gps roms and in new zealand the vogue comes with a 1.xx radio as stock which is non gps

My guess is the radio and ROM is not compatible. Which radio you got?
