help needed on restoring/reinstalling my tmobile mda compact - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

please help i have the t-mobile mda compact pm200 and i was removing a cracked version on pocket dos v1.09 from the remove list and it said windows wil need to perform a soft rest yes or cancel i clicked yes and my system restarted but now it just get stuck at the t-mobile screen. i have tried doing the manufatures hard reset but no joy i have take out the battery no joy and i can't even access it through my p.c what can i do to get it up and running again i don't care about the data already on there cuz it is all backed up on my sd cad

When you took out your battery, have you been waiting til the backup battery fully drained out? It takes about 30-60 minutes, better leave a few hours. Try this and post your results...

thank for trying but unfrtunatly it had no effect i tried for two hours then reinserrted it and no joy so i waited a further day but still nothing any other ideas tnx

Is it getting into BootLoader? Then you might try Flashing a new ROM!

how would i go about doing that? my computer won't even recognis3e my phone

I had about the same problem:
I was trying to install the Pocket PC Greek language support (free trial version) from the site http://greek.pocket-pc.penreader.co...der_Greek.html. on my MDA Vario Tmobile when it crashed!! It shows just a white screen and does nothing at all!! I soft and hard reseted the device but after restarting it shows the Tmobile screen and after a few seconds a white screen! Actually I am not so sure that the device is hard reseting because it doesn't ask me for a confirmation of the hard reset. When I startup my device it stops on the same white screen.No windows loading, no other commands accepting, not recognized by my desktop.
Did anybody have the same problem before? Does anybody know how can i get my PPC on working condition again
Thanks dagonist.
I hope somebody can help....

See for ROM upgrades on the forum :wink: if u get some images on the mini then it's not dead! It's just stuck at the bootloader mode, meaning that the OS is somehow damaged.. To solve this prob u must plug the mini into the pc (it will be recognised as an unidentified device, don't worry), then download a ROM upgrade set (u will find these on the net or in the xda-dev ftp). Execute the prog, wait 'till it finished and voila! Ur device will come as new If u encounter problem do a simple search in the forum regards rom - bootloader - upgrade and u willl find a lot of infos :wink:
Hope this helps, MocciJ

Thanks MocciJ.....but my desktop pc doesnot "see" my pocket pc at all!!

:? then it isn't yet in bootloader, is just stuck at the beginning of a broken OS! I mean that it tries to load the OS, but then it gets stopped since he read bad ROM (probably deleted in some way since u encountered this prob removing a prog) try to get it in bootloader mode, by pressing together the camera, power and reset buttons.. U will lose all the things in the RAM memory, but in this case u really can't do anything else.. After entering in bootloader, u can easily upgrade it..
MocciJ

Well, I just tried the camera button+power button+reset button....and nothing happens! It reset and comes back to the same white screen...
Any other suggestions??

well, did u tried to make it correctly? I mean: for entering boot loader u havce to press camera + power, and then reset (with camera and power pressed) if u can't still enter the bootloader, then I'm out of ideas, sorry...
MocciJ

I amdoing it write but nothing happens....

In the screen what can u read? If u read serial (it is barely visible) then see if it turn to usb when u connect the cable: if yes, we 're at a very good point...

When it starts up it shows the Tmobile logo and then for a few seconds :
ipl 1.08
spl 1.08
gsm 01.09.10
(something else...)
after a few seconds a white screen without any letters or anything else.

But I cannot see it anywhere on my desktop pc...

:? I can't figure out how you can get it back.. If it displays images and text, then the bootloader is still alive.. It even tells u the correct version of the complete ROM.. but I wonder why it can't access to the bootloader.. u must search in the forum how to reach the bootloader, but I'm sure of the power camera reset combination; when u can read SERIAL or even better USB on the device, u probably have solved most of ur problems, but chances are that u have even bad clusters of ROM, and cannot be restored with an upgrade (it happened to the External Rom of my mini after a bad upgrade)
I suggest to send it to repairs, before doing somewhat wrong, because if there is an original ROM inside they will repair it for sure, free :wink:
MocciJ

Thanks. The problem is that I got the phone from ebay, from a UK seller, and it was locked to Tmobile. So I don't think that I can ask for a factory/guaranty repair....

seee i tried all of thoose things but i found the main problem was getting the computer to recoginise the thing and the program i put on was a cracked version ( i know i am a naughty boy) so if i send it off they could cause legal problems couldn't it

it depends on what u are meaning by "not recognised" but I assume that windows dosesn't even try to recognise the device (I mean that there aren't bubbles, notifications, or any other changes on the system) for the cracked software, well if u have installed it right into any RAM folder (not in the storage memory) then u can tell the repairing center that ur unit simply doesn't power on correctly.. :wink:

My SVP M600 phone got stuck at Starting screen

Hi Friends,
My new mobile phone SPV M600 got stuck whil starting showing four lines of messages as shown below.
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.1.22
Can any one please help me in geting my phone to today's screen.
I also attached the screen shot for reference.
did you try a hard reset ?
Ya I tried both hard as well as soft reset but same screen is stuck again and agian.Can any one please help me in this regard as I am very new to PDA family.
Ok, first things first:
Since you are new to this, are you sure you preformed a hard reset?
It is done by holding power + camera + comm manager buttons (one on the right, two on the left) and pressing with stylus in the reset hole at the same time.
A message should appear asking you to press 'send' (green phone button) to confirm reset.
If this does not help, you may have a serious problem.
Please answer the following:
Is the device fully charged?
Phone will fail to boot if the battery is too low.
Did you install any software right before this happened?
This should have been resolved by hard reset, but just in case I am asking.
Did you change the ROM, attempted CID / SIM unlock?
This could require more serious measures than I can advise on.
I did exactly the same thing which you mentioned.But even then it is stuck at the same screen.
Ya u r right I unlocked my mobile using a software from eBay.The unlock was successfull and I tried to insert T-Mobile sim, it also captured the signal and I was able to make and recieve calls then after that I wantedly switched off the phone and then tried to start it, there got the problem.
Can any one help me in this regard please.
I am having the same problem, but my phone is not sim-locked.
I've got the same problem after attempting smart1_wm6_pp8mb.exe
I'm having the same problem with my G4 QTEK S200:
Attempted to upgrade to WM6 Rom using smart1_wm6_pp8mb.exe
After reboot the phone got stuck at the QTEK Screen
Tried Hard Reset (Camera+Power+Comm+Reset) followed the steps with the same results (bricked)
I also tried re-flashing the rom back to the factory one using RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship and ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.exe in Windows Vista with WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center v. 6.0.6873) and the phone in boot loader mode (tri color screen) with working USB cable, with windows firewall disabled and symantec AV disabled as well, RUU keeps saying error 260 "the update utilitiy cannot connect to your pda phone..." .
Do you think I should try this process using XP instead? No matter what i try i keep getting the error 260
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Got it fixed!
it was definately a Vista issue. once i tried it in XP with ActiveSync it worked like a charm and i got my phone back up and running. also used spb backup and restored all my settings.
ipl/spl screen
i got the same problem with new rom wm6, and the 260 eror, my problem is that i have xp and the activesync does`t connect ...
... means i cant redo the original rom ????
PLEAAASEEE HELPPPP !!
Again My phone SPV M600 got stuck at IPL/SPL screen

A rom reinstall on xp solved my problems on that one. retry a couple of times! It may not work the first time! hard reset as well...
Try an official wm5 rom just in case

..and yekanth i see what u mean about the dead links. i have the files on my computer at home but i'm posting from my prophet right now, so i can't upload. Try using the "pdaviet temp" from one of the wm6 threads?

Hi Iam able to update the Rom but no use
Hi,
To mention my phone is from orange-UK. I got the orange rom from our FTP site and did the flashing/update what ever you say.But still it is getting stuck at the same IPL/SPL screen. Iam very much worried that I will not get a proper solution for my problem.It will be very grate full if some one resolve my problem.
just seems strange...how did you fix it last time? did it just start working again? A random guess would be that the camera button got liquid spilled on it or is stuck in.
If the camera button is pressed in the phone will go to 3 colour screen every time it is turned on.
It won't do any harm if you try to press/move that button to see if u can "unstick" it, not likely I think but u never know...

My devices cannot connect to PCs running ActiveSync 4.1.

My o2 neo got stucked on the o2 reset screen.After going through this forum i came to know that few others too had this problem, so i went ahead with flashing of rom (RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_ Ship.exe) as suggested. But i am having a problem connecting my o2 with my PC using activesync 4.1 as well as 4.5 as it is required for the process. I tried all the option for connecting it through activesync, but it failed to connect. can somebody please help me with any kind of setting that is needed to rectifying this problem, I have also tried some windows firewall setting but it also failed to connect to my device to my PC. Pls pls pls pls somebody help
Ok, let me see if I understand you problem correctly:
You reset your Neo, and it won't boot past the O2 splash?
This kind of problem usually results from installing a program that runs on startup or changing some vital registry settings.
Have you tried hard resetting your device to solve this? It's simple: press and hold power + comm manager + camera the press reset. You should get a black screen with white text asking you to confirm clearing the device. All data and programs you installed will be lost and the device will return to the state you got it in.
I am not sure why you think you need to change ROM to get rid of this problem (unless it happens often for no operant reason) but if you still want to go through with it (I hope you understand the risks involved) you will have to hard reset your phone first so it fully boots in to windows before you can connect to ActiveSync.
Thanks for replying Levenum,
I have tried to hard reset it but nothing happens, it won't go past the O2 splash screen. I have ever install any program on it, it just happen that one fine day i found that my device was off and when i pressed the power button it got stuck on the o2 screen and remained there.
I have been using this Prophet for past 3 months but i have never ever connected it to my PC for synchronization, could this be the reason for it not getting connected to the PC with activesync. if so what should i do.
Even when it is in the bootloader & i connect it with the usb cable it shows usb written on down left corner of the screen, but activesync says device not connected.
pls help...
Ok, now I know changing ROM is NOT the solution for you!
Now, sorry for the stupid question, but is your device fully charged?
Let it charge for at least 3 - 4 hours then try again - use a wall adapter not USB from PC. (These things get stuck on splash when they do not have enough power to fully boot)
Assuming that is not the issue, since it is a new device I suggest you use your warranty (I assume its under warranty from O2) because your problem might be hardware. If you try messing with the ROM you will only void any warranty you have and then you might wind up with a very expansive paper weight!
Finlay, unless you can get in to windows you can not connect to ActiveSync. There are ways of changing ROM through bootloader, but they are complicated (and I am not familiar with them well enough to help you). Please read the WiKi.
Once again, I think you should send it in for repair as this might be a hardware issue.

Cincular 8525 stuck in Bootloader

I have a Cingular 8525 running WM5 that is stuck in bootloader screen. I have tried to soft and hard reset ... just boots back to the same screen, I can't turn it off once in the screen and when i sync via usb to the pc i get the message that the "usb device that is connected is malfunctioning" I have not done any upgrading at all and the phone worked perfectly right up till the time i powered it down and restarted into the bootloader screen.
Please can someone out there help me with this issue?

Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus
Then Flash to any ROM you want !!
Thanks .... But
Thanks for the reply ... but i have no idea how to do what you tell me, I am new to all this phone "stuff" as a matter of fact this is the first time that i am ever using one of these forums. I have read till i am cross eyed but dont actually understand what you are talking about ... now don't let that scare you away as i am willing to learn and i am not braindead ... you all had to start sometime in this, not so. I get that i need to try and reflash my rom...
so is there some type of rom update software that i need? ... what is a hard SPL?? ... and who is Schaps?? .. sorry guys to do this to you but i would like to get into this game and i need some ( well maybe a lot ) of pointers.
Thanks for your time.
1. Search for "mr vanxs guide" so you have an idea on what you're doing.
2. OK, as Asfarizal said "Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus". If you cant work out what the buttons are, go to the manual. it will tell you.
3. type in "hard SPL" in search on the forum & download the .zip or .rar file. this should have 2 files inside when opened,
a). RUUWrapper.exe and
b). RUU_signed.nbh
sync Hermes and double click .exe file. follow prompts.
4. find a rom that you want (would suggest TNT SE as a fairly good rom for noobs... good and stable, no problems...) Again download, then (and this is personel preference) format an sd card fat 32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh into root directory. Rename it Hermimg.nbh. Put into Phone and put into bootloader(make sure the battery is more than 50%) follow prompts. This should get you out of trouble. You can also sync your Phone and double click on the RUUWrapper.exe HOWEVER, if you should reset your computer, pull out the usb cable or have anything else happen to the computer that interrupts the flashm, you could end up with a worse brick than you have now. try to read up on flashing (search for "mr vanxs guide") and this should help you a lot if you have other questions. Good luck and happy flashing......
Thank You
I will follow the instructions you gave and try to get it going this weekend.
Thank you so much for your time

Looks like you've got a lot of reading to do, and a problem to sort out. Firstly a couple of answers...
Schaps is a Rom Cooking guru (makes custom versions of WM5, WM6 etc). When you get your phone sorted out I'd recommend trying one of his roms.
Hard SPL. The SPL is part of the bootloader which effectively dictates how a rom is flashed and what roms can be flashed. HardSPL is a custom version of this which allows you to flash any rom from any carrier. It also protects against a bad flash in many cases. It is recommended before you try flashing any new roms or radio roms. Use Hard-SPL-V7 at the bottom of the first post here.
The Rom upgrading software is contained in any of the cooked or carrier supplied roms. It is normally a .zip file which cotains 2 files: xxxxxRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh. You run the .exe file from your PC when connected to your phone via USB. More details of how to do this are in MrVanx's guides. Also other resources here.
Now to try to sort your phone out...
What is displayed on your screen when in bootloader mode? It should be something like this:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro (This is HardSPL V7)
If you don't have an Olipro SPL then you need to get HardSPL onto your phone. If you haven't done any upgrading and have had the phone from new then I guess you don't have hardSPL.
Now you need to fix your USB Malfunctioning problem. I can't help too much here except to suggest trying a different cable, different USB port or different PC. Also, if you are running Vista try an XP maxhine. When you connect to the PC does your phone show Serial or USB on the screen? If you can't get a USB connection, all is not lost - you can re-flash your rom using an SD card, method here.
There is a thread about un-bricking phones which may help.
There are various diagnostic tools (which can also screw your phone if used incorrectly). The favourite of these is MTTY but you need a USB connection to use this.
If your phone is in warranty I'd recommend getting your supplier to sort it out, but if not I'd try to re-flash an ORIGINAL supplier rom (Cingular I guess). You can get links to the official supplier roms here.
I think (might be wrong) that sometimes when stuck in bootloader you need to flash an official rom, not a cooked one to recover your phone - then you can run HardSPL and then flash cooked roms again.
Cingular 8525 stuck in bootloader
Thanks for the reply ... lots of great input.
Now to answer some of your questions.
1) When I power up the phone (only pushing the power button ) it goes straight into the bootloader screen without pushing any other buttons, and it displays
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
Then at the bottom in the white bar it says "Serial"
The only way that i have found to power it down again is to remove the battery, there is no response from any single buttons after it is in bootloader
the soft reset and hard reset work but it just goes right back to the bootloader screen after.
2) The USB malfunction. This only started after the phone "crashed" and before that it worked great ... well i only used it to sync up to my work pc for the contacts and to get pictures onto my hard drive.
all the PC's that i use are running XP. I have tried my home PC and my Laptop
and the work PC and all of them have their own cables and they all say the same thing ... "the USB device is malfunctioning"
I am sure that when i get the phone going again the USB will start to function again.
3) Phone warranty ... I bought the phone off e-bay from a store in new york about 10 months ago as a "new unlocked cingular 8525" it was new and unlocked, but i have no idea how they unlocked it. I would assume that there would be no warranty now and in any case i live in Canada and would have to ship it down to the states to an AT&T repair center and that sounds like a nightmare to me with the customs and so on.
I will give you a little more background on the problem. the phone worked like a charm without any problems at all for the 10 months that i had it, then the morning of the crash the phones alarm did not go off in the morning and i was almost late for work ... i did not pay it any further attention untill at 3:26pm
that afternoon the alarm went off ??????? (it was set for 6:05am) so i checked the main clock time, it was right. I then checked the alarm time, it was right ??? So i figured that something must have just got confused, so i powered down the phone with the power button to just restart it and while it was powered down i removed the battery to take the oportunity to to clean all those fuzzies and dust that collect in the battery compartment out and put it all together and powered it up again (just by pushing the power button) and this wierd red, green, blue and white screen appeared and that is all that i have seen since ???
I hope that answers your questions and i will start going through the links that you sent and get to reading ... will there be a pop quiz ... lol
Thanks again for your time and i very much appreciate all the time that all of you have spent on me and my phone ..... I know that you all just feel bad for me because i now have to use a Motorolla V551 ... lol
Great Work

thanks and regards
kirtibas
kirtibas, sorry it took so long to reply, 1st thing I'd do is upgrade to SPL 2.10 olipro. This is safer to use than others. then I'd suggest reflashing a stock rom to see if that works. After stock rom works then use a cooked rom as your heart desires... Cheers...

Need help with a i-mate Jasjar that doesn't start at all..

Hello mates,
My i-mate Jasjar doesn't start any longer. Here's how I got here. I tried to flash my jasjar with Crossbow ROM using ROMUpgradeUt.exe but it didn't do anything. So I went into the Country_ID_Error folder on the computer and executed MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. My jasjar froze after this and everytime I restarted it just hung on the bootscreen that says i-mate.
So I tried using mamaich method using mtty and now I can't even get to the i-mate bootscreen. So nothing just happens when I try to power up the phone (I'm sure the battery isn't dead).
All I can do is just enter the bootloader mode. That is the only thing that I can do that I know.
Please suggest something. I'm lifeless without the i-mate.
Thanks and regards,
Aditya More.
i had this same issue, i task28?'d my device, whatever command that resets the flash structure, then booted into bootloader, and flashed this file:
http://rs507.rapidshare.com/files/184081773/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
that should fix you up real good, hopefully.
Well thanks a lot. But it doesn't help. It gives me a connection error when everything is fine. USB is connected, ActiveSync USB connection is disallowed.
I forgot to mention, that when I task 28'd my device, nothing showed on the device. It just showed USB at the top and v2.01 at the bottom for ever, which means the task 28 wasn't probably successful or I ain't sure what.
Yeah, I had to ask you how if the above given file will work if the phone is in bootloader mode.
To fill you on more details, my phone somehow strangely starts. I'll explain how.
When the phone is switched off, and when I press the reset button, nothing actually happens, no activities can be observed.
When the phone is switched off and I connect it to the computer via USB, it shows the charging light. Now when I press the reset button with the phone connected to the USB, the charging light goes off and the USB detection sound sounds on the computer and the computer shows "USB Device not recognized". This means the phone started.
But strangely in both the above cases, none of the two lights on the phone indicate anything and display of the phone shows absolutely nothing.
The only thing I can do with the phone now is enter bootloader.
Also, since I compromised so much, is it possible that I can still flash it with WM6? Because going back to WM5 will make me feel miserable.
Thanks.
@cheapusenet:
I tried flashing with that file. It flashed successfully, but the screen is all smudged. I soft reseted the phone too (using reset+two soft keys) but it keeps displaying that same smudged screen.
Good news is it did something.
Bad new is that it didn't make the mate work.
Please help. I'm dying without the phone.
Thanks and best regards,

is it possible you can get a picture of what screen its showing? I THINK it happened on mine as well, did you let it sit for 10 or so minutes? if i recall the bootscreen was all corrupted but it started into WM5 just fine.
and regarding wm6, i'd attempt to get the device working before you try and get fancy. is the device cid unlocked? mine was and thats what was causing the issues.

if you didnt run that exact command, it's probably a good idea.
and you could try reflashing that stock imate rom?
This is all that happens.. I have waited for 5 minutes. I'll wait for 20 minutes now.
i waited for 30 minutes.. no go..
yap it did that EXACT same thing to mine.
reflash it, i think that fixed mine.
if that doesnt work, attempt flashing some custom roms.
is it CID unlocked?
i flashed it twice.. no go..
what's CID unlocked?
CID
Read the Wiki on my sig link
cid unlock allows flashing of roms that don't match your device branding.
i don't remember what brought me back from that, i may have flashed a custom rom with the imate cid settings in it? i don't remember.
i'll post a rom that i think may have helped in a few hours, I have slow upload speed. until then, just keep tinkering.
also, you should only be flashing nk.nbf. not the ms, or radio nbfs.

[Q] help please...dead phone

Hi, i am sure someone will have an answer(even if it is to say...there is nothing that can be done) to the problem with my phone.
I am not a technical person...use the phone with still its original settings...rom etc..
today the internet stopped working (maybe connection issue). so I tried to switch off and switch on again. the phone is not starting again...i have tried soft reset, removing the battery, sim card, memory card etc.. no luck
when i press the power on button..i hear the buzz...then the screen lights up with the HTC logo and some numbers at the bottom..which are
R2.04.50.22__2
G15.26.50.07U
D1.43.70124
And then nothing happens...
i have not yet tried the hard reset option..as would not like to loose the details on the phone...if possible. But if it is the only option, i am willing to try.
I will be grateful for your help, and please explain in plain terms if possible..kindly be patient if i do not understand the technical terms..
thanks in anticipation
Hi,
If read your post correctly you have not made any attempt to alter your phone's ROM and it is still as supplied.
Looking at the radio and ROM installed this is probably outside warranty, which is why you are asking rather than returning to your vendor.
This being the case it does not sound like your phone is booting and a hard reset will make any difference.
Will the phone start in the bootloader mode (achieved by turning the power off completely and holding the vol down button while powering up).
This is a tri-colour screen and is restarted by removing the battery.
It sounds like the ROM is corrupt or damaged.
You could try loading the stock rom from your provider or loading one of the very good cooked rom's from this site if it just corrupt.
This process is a bit long winded and will need extra direction if you have not spent any time on this site.
thanks
thanks for the reply waspsl
u r right, i have not changed the rom
and it is out of warranty
it starts in the bootloader mode..i.e i can see the 4colours(includind white) and the bottom says "serial" and then when connected to computer says "usb"
nothing further happens
when i open windows mobile device center, the phone is not connected
what next do i do?
how do i load the rom?
thanks again
amar
hard reset sorted the problem for now(although i lost the data)
thanks
