My system locked whilst flashing the CE rom.....
now i have a completely dead pda.. how do i recover from this?
:shock:
nobody ? any ideas at all? or is my xda going back under warranty?
help!!
reboot
If you reboot your pc, and leave the BA in the cradle, and then just execute the updater (romflasher) again, it works fine!
the BA just sits there.. no lights.. no nothing.
if you remove and reseat in the cradel you get the briefest flash of red on the right hand light. then nothing. screen is blank. hard or soft reset do nothing?
pc just says it cannot find pda when you try to update?
i assume its screwed then.
not nessaserily, try to get into bootloader mode....... i think its power button, camera button and soft reset button, tho someone please correct me if im wrong, if you can get into bootloader, then your device is ok, i aint sure how to get out of bootloader after this, but this happened to me when i tried to install windows mobile 2005 on my BA, lol, before i knew it didnt work, obviously, lol, if you open up active sync, click on file and connection settings, untick, allow usb connection, and try to do the upgrade again, but first after you untick that box, and clicked ok, you need to do a hard reset then put it in the cradle. then after you try and upgrade again, this worked for me, try this and let us know if you still cannot do it.... 8)
I've flashed my XDA, XDAII and MDAIII many times. Ocassionally, something has gone wrong, but I've always been able to recover the situation. But I've just tried to reflashed 1.40 and the PC crashed at 55% and now I'm in the same boat as you. I've tried all the tricks and it is completely dead. Fortunately a new one arrives in the morning.
I think you'll also have to swap your phone. If it won't go into bootloader, it's dead.
thing is, i think the warranty is void if you play around with upgrading and screw up,
im always happy to help someone fix it, as i done it many times with my own, and fixed other pda's too...... 8)
wont go into bootloader mode..

FFelan,
Last ditch, pull the battery off, and allow the backup battery to fully drain. (60+ minutes). Then put the battery back in, and see if you can get it into boot loader mode using the manual method discribed above.

I jus formatted my phone n I need some apps for my phone so if ne body could help me out n post some links I'd appriciate it!
That's a pretty general question. Nostradamus hasn't logged onto the forums in a while, so you're going to have to let us know what type of programs you'd like to use.

Perhaps a Hard Reset? If so, just Start > Settings > System > About Device ID and enter the Device Name as you had it in the last synch. Connect to PC with Activesync and synch and then use the AS Tool tab to find the Add and Remove programs.
If it wasn´t a hard reset, then expalin what you did.

Lets hope you haven't hard bricked it like I did. Are you not able to get anything on the screen at all? Does PC Odin show a cable connection when you connect your phone to your PC via data cable?
Not sure what exactly do you mean by phone starting with no visuals. How do you know it's starting up if you can't see anything ?
Anyway, check if you can enter download mode again - power+home+vol.down. Even without screen, after that press volume up to continue - if it works, Odin should detect your phone. If it does, just flash it again. Probably just a bad/unfinished flash.

Or you could try a USB JIG if that doesn't work.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
Ahem. Read guys. He said he gave it to vodafone for service.
OP just wants a hint at what might be wrong with it.
screen gone black
cheers guys.to answer some of the questions.first it still detects in odin and i have tried or roms or updates.still not working.2.you can hear the start music when i power on.then the screen is just black.
I bought the phone only 3 months ago... The version I had wasn't fast enough so I installed a new rom instead... The rom I installed was even slower so I tried putting another and I accidentally wiped all my data and cause my phone to get into brick mode...
I managed to solve the problem and a vibrant rom is now on my phone...
The problem now is that I want to replace that rom and I found out that every time I connect it to the computer with USB cable or plug it to the wall the phone goes off and a sign of empty battery apears with loading dots...
I tried to switch to a new battery and I realized it's not the problem...
I took the phone to a special lab to fix it and they told me they won't fix it cause there is a component inside that handeling with it may cause the phone to totally die...
I don't know who to turn to...
Please help!
wiping data doesnt make ur fone bricked. give us some info about ur problem, ur fone variant, usage of odin or how u flash or any other that could be used for us to answer or help u.
its like u asking me to marry u as if i know ur gender
Hey!
I don't know if this is the correct forum, but I hope so.
So, after having a few troubles getting the A2 to work with root and so on everything seemed to work until a few random apps didn't work at all (they crashed as soon as you opened them). After trying to solve the problem (and failing) I thought a factory reset would maybe be the best idea, now that I know the way to root it and so on.
But after factory reset the wifi doesn't work at all. It "searches" for networks, doesn`t find anything and if I finish the installation and manually want to turn the wifi off and on afterwards I can see that the wifi connection is turned off and if I press the slider it goes on and then off immediately.
I tried flashing the stock rom with the xiaomiflash-tool, tried to factory reset it on both partitions, but as soon as it boots and asks for a WiFi-network it can't find anything at all.
I hope somebody can help me.
There is the possibility that I did something wrong the last days and destroyed something because I probably tried too much compared to my knowledge (which isn't much at all), but maybe somebody can help me...
Thanks in advance!
im with the same problem
flash in edl mode
