Won't get passed T-Mobile screen but not bricked

July 23, 2010

Hi Guys,

I wonder if someone can help?

Thought I would apply the latest 2.1 rom on my daughters Pulse.

I've applied the Hungarian update without issues.

However when I tried to boot first time it just stuck at the T-Mobile screen

I then applied amonra's recovery without issue but I can't get into the recovery screen?

I can eother try and boot and it goes to the T-Mobile screen and just stays there, or I can get to the Blue Fastboot screen.

Confused where I can go from here, any help appreciated.

It was previously running Modaco 1.8 (I rooted it ages ago)

Thanks for the reply, however I cannot get it into recovery.

It just hangs at the T-Mobile screen.

Not sure what's wrong to be honest.

Is there any remedy through fastboot?

Thanks

Been trying that all night, all it does is sit at the first T-Mobile screen.

Then try first flashing and then booting the recovery image via fastboot.

fastboot-windows flash recovery X:\amon-ra-recovery.img
fastboot-windows boot X:\amon-ra-recovery.img[/code]

fastboot-windows is in the amon-ra directory, just run those commands via cmd and it should drop you to the recovery mode :(

Hmmm, interesting.

However when I try and boot the screen on the phone just says ' booting linux.....'

and stays there.......... weird.

That is indeed really weird oO

Try reflashing the TRE or HU ROM.

Hi Mate,

Appreciate the help here, how do I go about flashing the rom?

I can't get to recovery or boot the phone?

How do I flash via Fastboot?

Fastboot needs the system.img and the boot.img. You get these from a script somewhere on the forum (I dont really know about this). Flashing through fastboot is as simple as "fastboot flash system (location of system.img)" and "fastboot flash boot (location of boot.img"

Okay, so if I drop the required system.img and boot.img to the respective folder I can just fastboot flash xxx.img them?

If you put the .img s into C:\Android the command would be "fastboot flash system C:\Android\system.img" and "fastboot flash boot C:\Android\boot.img".

Obviously from wherever your fastboot file is (I'm Mac but I think its the SDK location.)

Okay, I know what to do, but can't find the required files?

I've downloaded the Hungarian update (the first process of putting 2.1 on the Pulse)

However there is no System.img or Boot.img in the files (i've checked every folder)

I also downloaded FLB Mod and I can only find the boot.img? There is no system.img

Any ideas? starting to pull my hair out now!

The Hungarian update has to be extracted (there is a script somewhere, I'll look in a second) and the FLB-Mod has the boot image and a system folder, which cant be used. If you want to try installing the FLB boot.img then go ahead while I look for the script.

Found

:( - Click me!

The only problem is the thread isn't about the script, so you'll need to dig around or ask Badger for help on using it.

We will make it work, it's just how...

Did you try what Bobo said? Copying the Tre ROM dload folder to the SD card and holding Volume Up and the Red Button on boot?

Yes, was going to try that but the thread I found

http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile...h-operator-tre/

Seems the file has been removed, just looking for another copy.

Then just try the Hungarian Update again. Although I'm sure the Tre update will be on Huawei's website.

Yeah, just tried the Hungarian again.

No joy, still stuck on T-Mobile boot screen.

Therfore, I can get to fastboot, and the update from SD works.

Can't get to recovery though or boot the phone fully. Very odd.

However I wonder if I try and flash the AmonRA recovery again?..........*goes off to try*

Have you tried "fastboot boot (location of recovery image)"?

July 24, 2010

Have you tried "fastboot boot (location of recovery image)"?

Yes, tried that in post #7.

All I get on screen is 'booting linux.....'

And it just sits there.......LOL

Have you ever made a Nandroid backup? That has .img s of every partition on the phone. Flash them.

Sorry, I appreciate the effort you're going to here...

I have a nandroid just before I strated this, how would I flash that?

Aha.....take out the system.img and boot.img!

No bother mate. :( I just don't want to lose a Pulse user for something like this. :(

If this doesn't work then I have one thing left then I'll just need to suggest random things... :P
