Cannot get serial to usb in bootloader

For some odd reason I can no longer get the the "serial" status to change to "usb". It charges but does not connect to activesync. I flashed many many times so I am not a noob at this but I might be making a noob mistake.
What I am using: SPL 1.54 (I use USPL 2.5). I am currently using Miri's v23 manilla 2.5. I am using the same pc (xp) and cables to flash.
What I've tried:
- used 3 different pc's and the original pc
- 4 different usb cables
- ticking/unticking the "enable faster data syncing" box in settings>connections>usb to pc
-ticking/unticking "allow usb connections" in activesync
-if I leave the cable in AND THEN put the phone in bootloader mode, the status is blank. When I remove the cable, it returns to "serial"
When the phone is on, it just doesn't seem to react (vista and xp)to the cable being plugged in. The led just shows that it's charging.
I pulled an all-nighter and I'm stumped.

Maybe you need to update the USB drivers. Same thing happened to me but it worked after updating the USB drivers as per this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524619

I forgot the most important part-
Since the pc does not recognize that there's something plugged in, I cannot select the "HTC USB Sync" under device manager and proceed with updating the drivers. I don't think I need to but at this point I'm trying everything.
Unless there's another way of updating drivers without the phone showing up on the device manager...

Updated the usb drivers by plugging in an old htc device. The pc was able to recognize the other htc device and was able to switch from serial to usb.
But after the update, there was no improvement for the blackstone status.

Anyone? The phone still doesn't recognize the usb cable whether the phone is on or in bootloader, it just charges.
Any help is appreciated!

Seems something wrong with your device. Try to hard reset and do it again?
Or if you still cant connect to usb. there is another way to upgrade without connecting to pc. After upgrade to new ROM, try it again whether it can connect to pc or not? Here is some tips for you.
Connect your SD card to PC through microSD card. Copy all files from your SDcard to new folder in your PC. Then, right click on the microSDcard disk-->full Format by FAT32 (this step is very important).
After formatting SDcard, copy back all files to SDcard . Rename .nbh to BLACIMG.nbh (for Blacktone) and copy it to SDcard.
Insert your SDcard back to Touch HD. Turn off your device by Power button.
Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade" press power button and it will start upgrade Rom.
You can check this video for more practical actions on youtube.(this video for HTC diamond2 but it's almost the same with Blacktone just different in rename step)
Hope it helps and cheer

Thanks for the tips =)
I've did a hard reset twice and still no luck.
I've tried to flash through SD but since I use USPL, it just hangs when I try.
If I have SPL 1.54.0000, is there something that can be flash through the SD without USPL?

I have not tried this. I am on HSPL 1.56olinex but you can try my suggestion cause I think it's the only one you can choose now. I never ever use USPL. I think you can do it step by step and carefully.

SOLVED! Bootloaders as far as it goes...Will not load any flash with SSPL or HSPL.

About a year-ish ago windows stopped working on my spv3600 m700 Trinity. I looked into reflashing the phone & put a copy of schaps 4.30 striaght onto the fone no problems.
I now want to upgrade the rom again & can get it into the bootloader screen ok. My problem is that this is as far as I can get. I've even tried the minisd trick but I see loading box very briefly flash up on the screen & thats it...still in bootloader mode with serial but nothing else happens.
The fone is not bricked & if I reset it will load windows. I've tried the original flash & bootloader. Soft (SSPL) & hard Bootloader technique but to no avail.
Has anyone got any other solutions? Many thanks in advance, its sending me crazy!!

Ok I sorted the first problem of using SDcard to flash .MBH files. It was down to the miniSD card format not being FAT32. I reformat the card as FAT32 & then bootloader progressed to installation stage.
...now I have a new problem... i'm stuck in bootloader mode SPL 1.07.0000 IPL 0.50 after I used SSPL from my mobile in windows mode to get the 1.07ds override bootloader. This allowed me to flash the Radio to the latest chinese version. I then used this program again to Flash to windows 6.5 & then half way through it rebooted to the bootloader tricolour screen.
The problem is that now that windows is gone I can only run the standard bootloader SPL 1.07.0000 with the phone. If I try & upgrade a cooked ROM it comes up with an error code on the mobile. If I try an official version it checks the ROM & then says "not allowed".
Is there a way I can change the bootloader through the card SD? I can't either get the bootloader to change from serial msg to usb...doesnt matter how many times I plug in the USB & i'm using XP. Is there a way to force it into USB?
I've tried putting "Des crash proof SPL" ,"Hard SPL", "Hard SPL 1.20" onto SDmini card as TRINIMG.NBH bootloader loads then comes up with 00068002 error i presume on screen
I've tried putting official upgrades "RUU Trinity DOPODA SIA WWE...Ship.EXE rom" & "RUU Trinity HTC WWE .........GPS.exe rom" onto SDmini card as TRINIMG.NBH, bootloader loads, . . .checking, then displays "not allow" & "00028002" on screen! Now i'm really stuck!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

looks pretty much the same like my trinity right now...
help would be very appreciated

Solved.
Finally worked out why my phone would not change from serial to usb on the bootloader screen. Its all down to the power from usb lead...luckily I have a double usb lead which I use for an external hard drive. Two usbs plugged into my laptop provides twice the current...as soon as I used this lead tadaaa, the phone comes on & is recognised by windows xp even when its in bootloader mode. If you don't have a lead try using a different computer...just incase the usb output is crap!
From here I then ran the unbrick / exploit program which you have to run two/three times but then this will put the phone into a bootloader which allows you to flash the phone with any ROM.
Hope this info is of any help.

can someone help me recover this plz its a new phone
Thanks in advance

once at that final screen,
plug in usb
once your computer has installed drivers, it will say usb instead of serial at the bottom of the phones screen.
try flashing again,if that fails try a different rom or redownload, its not bricked your at bootloader
if you still struggle use the search feature of this site, you will find everything you need
cheers steve

or try flash using SD card
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
cheers

Pheeew thats a relief panic mode off now
Thanks rosebud and indra9110 for your fast replies, I got it working rosebud's way.
I downloaded the rom again and it works perfect now,
I've also got iskoot working (which was NOT working on the vodaphone 6.1 rom)
Thanks again guys

Glad to hear your phone has come back to life

[Q] Possibly bricked Trinity, help please!!!

Hello!
I have this problem:
I've installed WM6.5 on my Trinity, and it worked well, but today I wanted to try WM6.1 (0.4.9.0 digital) also. The following happened:
Everything worked fine, but at 54% flashing my brother lifted the phone, possibly it lost the USB-contact, because the flasing stopped with an error message (unfortunately can't remember the error number). Since then if I try to flash it with WM6.1 or WM6.5, after 1% the phone resets itself, and the RUU gives a 270 error.
I have the original WM5 ROM also, but if I try installing it, after "Verifying information on your PDA Phone" screen I get a connection error 260.
What can I do???

After the phone resets itself, I can see the HTC logo, and the red letters and numbers, but that's all.

If I try HardSPL, I also get a 260 error.

Can you enter bootloader manualy?
If you can than see SERIAL change to USB when connected to PC it should be OK.

if you have a SD card, you can also try to flash "manualy".
- put your RUU... NBH at the root of the card,
- rename it trinimg.nbh,
- reinsert the card in the phone,
- enter in bootloader (power+cam+reset)
you will have a grey screen asking to push "power", do it and that's it.
if USB is well working, maybe you just need to reflash the hardspooler.

Thank you for your replies.
Fortunately I solved the problem.
I did the following:
1. To be sure, do all the stuff on a Windows XP machine
2. DISABLE "Allow USB Connection" in Active Sync so you see a small red X symbol next to the Active Sync symbol
3. Start the device into Bootloader mode (Cam+Power+Reset) and connect the device to your PC and make sure USB is written on the bottom of your screen (NOT Serial!)
4. Download splxploit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...0&d=1180043588) and execute unlock on your PC
5. Follow the instructions
6. Download HardSPL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1185364317) and follow the instructions
7. Finally (to be sure) restart into Bootloader mode and check if SPL is showing "SPL-1.30.Olipro) - if this is the case you've done it !
8. Flash your preferred ROM via miniSD or USB connection

I m glad you solved this. Every day another new way of solving the flash problems.

Hi to All guys
i've got a trinity from my work and it has a custom rom.
I wanted to changed the rom so i download a wm 6.5 and erase the trinity with mtty. After that i try to install the rom with he RUUUupdate, but it get error 270.
Only in that moment i read on the bootloader and see that it haven't olipro or another HARDSPL installed.
So i looked for a solution and i try the unbrick with the splxploit. I did it and i get olipro on the bootloader, but i don't know how go on with install, if i use the exe i get 260 connection error.
Can you help me?

[PROBLEM] Bricked my Blackstone

Hi All.
I've had my flashed severtal times with the new ROM and never had any problems with it (apart from ROM itself not being perfect).
Yesterday I've cooked myself a plain ROM and flashed phone with it. Flash took less than a minute and my phone isn't starting any more. I've checked NBH file and it's only 6 MB!
At the moment all I can do it to is to try to turn it on, it stops on the 'Smart Mobility' screen with red info on the bottom. Info reads:
R 1.14.25.24
G 52.64.25.34U
D 1.59.48753
When I start my phone with Vol Down button pressed it goes to tricolor and when I continue to hold Vol Down I get white screen with message: Loading: No Image File! showing on the screen briefly and back to tricolor.
No problem you say - flash another ROM. But at the moment my phone doesn't connect to my PC. Cable tested with another HTC - works. When I connect it I get USB on the screen but Flashing utility doesn't detect the phone.
When I try to Hard Reset the phone it just starts normally. So Vol Up + Vol Down + Power doesn't work at all. All I have is smart mobility and tricolor.
Info from Tricolor:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
and on the bottom either Serial or USB.
Question is:
is there anything I can do to revive my phone? Is there any way to flash it without USB connection? If yes, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance,

There is a way of flashing from SD card if you have HSPL (you do... OliNex).
Please do some search...

if it displays usb in tricolor you can flash a rom with CustomRUU from there. its not bricked

Put BLACIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card and enter bootloader mode, it'll detect it and ask if you want to flash it - press power button to confirm.

Dont connect your phone to your computer.
Hold down the Volume down button and hit the power button.
Your entering the tricolor boot screen and at the bottom the word "Serial".
Now connect you phone to your computer with te USB cable the word serial disappear and now it says USB.
Now you can normally flash/update your phone.

Thank for all your answers.
Problem still lasts, tried everything I could, including trying another computer. I've tried SD card flashing but couldn't get past tricolor. Everytime I tried all I got was No image file! and nothing.
In desperate act of dying I've went to my neighbour and borrowed his old Win XP laptop and it worked... Currently flashing new ROM to it.
What I cannot understand is why my computer (iMac running Windows on parralels), my laptop (Win 7) and my second laptop (Win Vista) couldn't detect the phone. I've succesfully flashed it before using all three machines, including virtualized Win 7 on my mac :/
Any ideas why it stopped working? I'll try to connect it again when ROM will be fully flashed and let you know.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Cheers,

Why don't you try shipped ROM, it may do the trick.
Get the original shipped ROM from HTC site or from XDA site.
Extract the content in some directory
Rename ruu_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh and copy it on root folder of your SD card.
Now start your phone holding Vol down button.
Fingers crossed to to start flashing

Hi again.
I can confirm that due to flashing my phone with that odd 6MB ROM I could not connect it to any computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7. Strangely enough - it worked with Windows XP Professional. I have managed to flash my phone again on it using custom ROM from this forum.
Cheers,
