HTC hangs in bootloader after attempt to flash rom - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hi!
I have a HTC P3300.
I bought a 4Gb SDHC card, and it won't work. I read at the forum that I would need a different rom, so I downloaded "Artemis_Touch_4.02_Full_with_no_cube", which would have sdhc-support.
Then I executed "STEP 1 - activesync then uspl cid unlocking.bat", that finished ok, and then "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat", which stopped with an error 302.
After a restart all that came up was the boot loader. I then tried to flash the original rom (HTC WM6 Dutch) from the computer, but that ended also in an error.
I tried the SD upgrade (rename .nbh file to ARTEIMG.nbh, put it on a formatted sd-card and load it in my phone), and it finished without errors, saying I should press any key.
After pressing a key, the bootloader popped up again.... :S
Can anyone help me? I have been searching the forum and trying to get my phone to work since 21:00 and I haven't got any progress at all!

well sorry for that
did you tried to make hard reset?
and once i had a completely dead artemis.. no sign of life..but it fixed by the following..(and maybe this may help you cuz the flasheng goes not like usual)
while your mobile is off.. press the record botton and the camera and it should starts with usual sd card flashing.
for me this what happens.
the setup was in three phases as i saw... and it took about 30 mins .
maybe it will works for you

I also tried a hard reset, wouldn't work.
I pressed and hold the camerabutton, but nothing happend...
Maybe the battery is empty, so I pressed and hold the camera button while plugging in the usb-cable.
It started the SD-upgrade, and is still busy.

The update ended with a "press any key to continue".
But when I pressed a key, the boot loader popped up :S
When I tried to flash another rom (NLD-FINAL), an error occurred (I believe it was error 270, not sure).
But then the normal startup screen appeared!
I don't know how, but the problem seems to be fixed!

sorry i mentioned the wronge button before..
try to start flashing by pressing the RECORED button and the power.. while your mobile is off.
and be sure that you copied the original shipped ROM to your device (NOT elese)

As you can see in my previous post, I managed to flash the original rom.
I'm gonna try to upload an other rom some other time...
And with a patch I got the SDHC working too!
Thnx for your help!

Cannot enter bootloader, but not bricked!!

Hi guys:
Really strange thing. When trying to flash phone (activesync connected) the phone went to blank screen and RUU lost conection. After that there is no way to enter bootloader, but everything else is working ok.
Device has USPL installed, and been flashed many times.
Is there any way to repair bootloader?
Thanks.
Note: Actual ROM is official HTC WM6, with ext ROM modified to 2 Mb capacity.
how are you entering the boot loader
To enter the boot loader you have to either keep the voice record button held while doing a soft reset or keep the same button pressed while the device is starting
Yes, I Know

Thank you for your apreciation, but I have already done it.
I've been browsing this useful forum in order to learn a bit more about my artemis
hmmpp
RUU hehehe..
Take the SD card out then perform the procedures to get into the Boot Loader, it will work, otherwise you'll see white screen for 2-3 mins then the phone will say "Searching for SD Card..." then it will eventually get into the bootloader, if this solves your problem then please try the search feature next time because this has been discussed many times before...
digitalextremes:
Please go..... with "search button" text.
Everytime i see such text i wonder if U ever tried it!
nevertheless.
My Arte has the same problem, OS is launching properly, everything seems ok.
I want to flash a new ROM (Shady's last PLK) but i can't get into bootloader.
Thank U in advance for post with Voice-dial+Power+reset (stylus) or mentioning sim or SD, i tried all combinations.
If U have nothing to say, stay silent.
Everyone who can help, feel free, to do so.
THX I A
I had the same problem... to fix-it, just remove the SD Card...

I tried this method but it didn't work.
first i get the SD card and format it using windows (i tried both FAT, FAT32)
then extract the .nbh file from this package RUU_Elf_DOPOD_AU_1.14.710.2_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe,
then i renamed it to ELF0IMG.nbh copied it to the root of SD card, then put the SD card in my device,
push and hold camera button and push the power button then the colored screen appeared but nothing happened. i tried also press and hold camera button then soft reset using stylus but it didn't work.

Sorry i tired you
It should work.
It should say like ' do you want to flash your phone ' , press the power key to continue..
mmm, have you CID unlocked your phone?
have you tried flashing your phone?
how can i do that "CID unlock" ?
Go to the elf-upgrading forums and flash your ipl and spl to 3.10.
Cheers.
Can you start your phone in the first place?
no I cannot start my phone. it just freeze on the colored screen

Thats your bootloader.....
to do a hard reset its...
hold down volume up and volume down
tap and release power
keep holding both volume buttons down....
I think whats happening is that your only holding the volume down.
Try taking your battery cover off to get a better press and making sure that up and down are held, then tap the power button.........
hope that helps.....

try uninstalling actvesync from your pc...... then reinstalling it
would you be able to try and flash on someone elses pc?
im not sure if this would help or not but im running out of ideas im afraid....
My friend, if the phone starts at all you definitely should be able to do HARD RESET.
You are probably not doing well the hard reset. You cannot destroy bootloader with backup programs.
You should :
-hold pressed volume up and volume down buttons
-tap and release power button
-keep holding both volume buttons down for several more seconds until three color screen appears and shortly after that a message will appear on lite blue screen. Then release both volume buttons. Then press volume up button, usually it is necessary to press it once again. System restoring bar will begin to raise up to 100%. After that pres again volume up and system will restart.
By the way your initial rom is 1.66 but on the pictures is 1.48. So you did pictures after you flashed it. Also noted that you have flashed HSPL.
Suggest to download your initial original rom and install it from the memory card. Not sure but may be downgrade of the rom is not possible from 1.66 to 1.44.
I solved my problem
Thanks to masters very much I reinstall active sync and then I flash rom and all my problems cancelled out )
nice one, glad you got it fixed.....

To all of you having the "same problem"
If you are 100% sure your stock rom is correct. rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.NBH, put it on the root of your SD card, and boot into bootloader, it will flash.
IF YOU ARE UNSURE IF YOUR STOCK IS CORRECT POST HERE FIRST OR YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE,
better to look noob than to brick, there are too many versions of this phone to mess around here.

[Q] Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllp

I was trying to install blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1 on my blackstone. I installed olinex and after that stored the nbh and exe file on the sd card and then through task 29 flashed it. The rom got successfully installed but now the phone is stuck at the bootup. It says
Checking Radio...
Checking protocol..
Checking Rom..
But now won't get to the next screen.Because of this i can't get to active sync. Please help..Pleaaaasseee
Did u follow the instructions completely, cause it worked fine for me and others... Do you have radio 1.14 or above installed? Did u try to reflash?
ok, no need to worry. Boot into bootloader. What is your SPL?
Yes i did follow the instructions. Now the phone won't bootup. I tried it with the volume down and power up method. Rom does get installed but then again it won't bootup..
Did you try Vol UP + Vol Down + Power ?
Yes i did try that after my phone got screwed up with test29 method but it shows nothing at all after successfully installing rom..:-s
no need to worry
always read read read and must read before flashing. I think your phone is quite ok. You does task29 to it. what is task 29 means. it means task29 will clean our device completely only splash screen displyaed, phone always stucked on this screen. it is very normal, it means you completyely cleaned your device. now you are ready to flash your device. do the following procedure--
1. remove the battery and reinsert it.
2. now turn on the phone while pushing volume down key.
then bootloader (tricolor screen) mode will be displayed. many times it will not come into bootloader and device normally starts and stuck on splash screen. the reason is simple, you didnt press volume down key properly, it happend many times to me also.
Now remove battery cover, remove battery and reinsert it, dont cover the battery, now take slylus & press volume down strip with the stylus. ( volume up & down keys are installed in battery cover, so when you push volume down key in flap open condition, it should be done by stylus.)
ok
push volume down by stylus & hold it and start the device, it will come in tricolor screen means bootloader mode, on the bottom screen it will show serial.
Now conect the device to the pc & bottom line on the screen will become serial to USB.
Now perform task28= means flash normal rom, do not perform task 29 again.
task29 will take 1 minute to flash while normal RUU will take about 7-8 minute.
try it and give feedback/

Have you flashsed a differnet radio ?
What you did is just Task29 your phone. Task29 needs something to flash in order to do its thing. Usually we flash radios (good ones obviously) because they are smaller than full roms. If you flash a full rom with Flash29, it will get erased after completion.
What you need to do now (since your phone now has no ROM installed) is boot it while pressing volume down to get to the bootloader, plug via USB and flash a rom using a "non-task29" flasher, like the standard BlackStoneCustomRUU.exe file that comes with basically every rom.
Hello thanks for replying my internet wasn't working but i did manage to boot my phone but now the touch stops working after. I know this as i press the volume button and the phone responds to that hence telling me it's not really freezed up. This is all what i did.
Stored .nbh file in the task 29 folder this is the rom version whose nbh file is used (RUU_Duttys_HD_V3.9__XT_Turbo_5.2.21051.1.6.4_1.59.709.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.14.25.24_)
After the flashing is done i reset the phone by taking out battery and starting it again in bootloader.
Now i flashed again with (blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1)
After installing it completely the touch stops responding.
Kindly help me with what seems to be the problem. Thanks

Yes that one is fine. Once T29 is complete take out battery and then re-insert it. Now put phone into bootloader (hold vol down and press power on while still holding vol down. BOOTLOADER IS A TRI-COLOUR SCREEN).
Now flash your rom
i also flashed blackstonhenge hyperslim 4.6 and now touchscreen stopped working....any solution...
