HELP!!! VERY URGENT!!! MY SCREEN FREEZED ON BOOT COLOURS - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi
I am really desperated
I have upgraded my PDA2K to wm5 and was working ok until today that freezed on the bootable colour screen.
What should I do? Please help me

NO WORRIES at xda-developers
All you need to do is go to the (Boot options) Just reset the device, as soon as it starts quickly press Record and Camera button together before the version appears at the bottom. Use the record button to scroll up and down and camera for switching it to YES or NO. Leave the top one (Enable KITL = No) and the rest of two i-e (Clean Registry Hive) and (Format Storage) change both to YES. Then press Mail button. You will see a white screen, wait for a while, you will see a start up screen for the fresh setup  If the problem still exist then put into Boot Loader (Record + Power and Reset) the device will show you Serial and USB when it is docked with the cradle. First install the W 5 again, hope this will work, if all this doesn’t works, Downgrade it to 2003 SE, Only by installing the correct ROM (available here at XDA-Developers that is without EXT ROM) cause other shipped ROMs won’t work that are provided by vendors. This will work for sure. Later you can upgrade it again with W5. And yes if you want to stick with 2003 se, just unhide the Ext Rom and simply update it with you shipped ROM provided by your device vendor. Good Luck

I'M STILL IN TROUBLE - PLEASE URGENT HELP
Thanks for your kwik reply.
I have tried all that you have porposed but still nothing.
I have tried "Just reset the device, as soon as it starts quickly press Record and Camera button together before the version appears at the bottom.

I have tried to downgrade following the intructions but when should recognise the ROM comes completely in blank.
Please help.

More info please
Finally I was able to downgrade it. Will leave it like it is. Thanks for your help.
But now I have another problem. is crashing all the time, what can i do?

Prefer (HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Wizard with 1.5 Radio)
:wink: no problem dear, just upgrade it again to W 5 Prefer (HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Wizard with 1.5 Radio) and this time make sure you stop all these services. rapimgr.exe, outlook.exe, winword.exe, wcescomm.exe, wcesmgr.exe.
(Right click on taskbar -> Task Manager. End the mentioned processes) Do Not Install Resco File Explorer cause it hangs!
Hope this time you will be more prepared to face these kind of problems.
And if you really want to stick with 2003 se, format your device with 60 kb and unhide the Ext Rom, when you see the extended Rom in (Settings -> system -> Memory -> Storage Card), then just reinstall your The Original Shipped Rom (2003 SE) that can be downloaded from the carrier.
ROM version: 5.03.02 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.15.00
Protocol version: 1337.45
ExtROM: 1.1.9.106

Where can I download that from?
thanks for the reply
Where can i download the HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Wizard with 1.5 Radio from?

good decision
Use the current avaialbe Wizard ROM, later upgrade Radio available at http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_remository/func,fileinfo/id,225/. Just run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in Bootloader mode.

Help! WM5 downgrade

Hello,
I'm following these instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
However, these two pages:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Versions
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
Are simply returning no data to my web browser, either in Firefox or IE. So I resorted to trying to take the NBF's off this file:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/BlueAngel_Roms/BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom/
I also tried another cooked 1.40 rom that I still have from before I upgraded.
In both cases, the upgrade utility shows no information about the previous or to-upgrade-to version when it displays that info (all the version fields are blank), and when I click upgrade, it runs for about 15 seconds then says upgrade complete. Help! I need to get back down to 2003SE because I have software I need to use that doesn't run on WM5.
Thanks
I have the same problem ! In fact, it does not connect to the ppc. Remove it from the craddle and you'll get the same message. Idea anyboy ?
Downgrade to 1.40
Just put your pda to "boot" mode. This can be done by pressing the power button, the "soft" reset hole and the record button. Then downgrade.....
I did that... followed the wicki (the gray screen with usb and the version on the bottom).
I was having this problem as well. I solved it by downgrading to my manufacturers latest ROM 1.3... I am very relieved.

Mda II Compact boot failture!

Hello gays!
I hav a problem with my Mda.
In my mda was windows 05 and i want to upgrade to 06
And im download rom from thiece site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305125
And i Upgrade rom thiece method :
ANOTHER FLASH METHOD :
If you have the chinese WM6 rom, downgrade to some WM5 with official RUU, then:
download this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/29098553...fixed.zip.html
Once you unpack it, please put the nk.nbf (charmer wm6) into the Shelltool folder. Open shelltool.exe. Click Get Rom info, then click Extract OS. Wait until its finished and you'll receive a file called 8004000-OS.nb (save it for later).
Download the xbeta Chinese WM6 rom : http://rapidshare.com/files/27671349...eta.exe. html
Extract it and put that 8004000.OS you saved before in the XBETA directory. In the itsutils folder of xbeta rom you will find enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab. Copy them to your device, install them on Device Memory, then soft reset.
run xbeta.cmd and choose the 8004000OS.nb file to flash (you should be connected with AS and have your radio module turned off).
When the screen goes green and the flashing is finished make a HARD RESET!. Press Camera and Voice Dail buttons (hold them). Put and hold the stylus in reset button for 2 seconds. Release it. Wait until you see some white fonts on black screen. Then release those 2 buttons. Push the green dial button.
I choose thiece method becouse the first method in the rom subject doesnt work.
But after im instal new rom i have Era rom and when im complete upgrading to wm6 the phone is restart and im see era splash screen and its strange for me :/
So the problem is it is in startup screen showin Era splash screen and he STOP! i tried to hard reset but it gives fat partition error.
Please HElp me!
sounds like your device is CID locked at the time you flash it.. which gives you the same splash screen. However, the fat partition error (I presume it said format fail), is a big problem that AFAIK, it has no solution.
What you can do (at least) now is to put your phone in to bootloader mode and flash it (check the wiki, I think there is a section on this).
I turn on boot loader and i upgrade to another rom Era name and still thiece same Can you give me link with rom ?? to my phone ? Yes i dont unlock the cid
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
Now i download my Net is so slowly :d when im download and upgrade i write and good luck to me ;]
Rom t mobile Doesnt work. Other minds?? But the splash screen is T mobile ;]
ipl 2. 06
spl 2.06. 0000
gsm 02.19.21
os 2.6.2.27
meybe Rescue Rom like i wizard ?? do you now where i can find it??
the splash screen indicated that it has already flashed, but, as I've mentioned above, the partition failure are more complicated than that and may not be fixable yourself. I can't help anymore now, you can try to find some other solution. Good luck.
How to unlock cid ?? can you tell me what i hawe g 3 or g 4
at the top section of this screen, there is this "XDA-Wiki", go in to the 'Wizard' section. G3 G4 CID unlock info is there.

""Splash screen freezing -> SOLUTION !!! DIY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn... I walked around and around and solution was all near me and able to do it myself...
Ok here´s how I done it.
First, I must explain what was the problem.
After update the firmware (not actually upgrade, I had the phone full of trash, so I decided to reflash same firmware v2.18 PTG), the Qtek 9100 / HTC Wizard freezed at 2nd splash screen (the one that shows OS versions IPL version, ect). Tried many different versions, upgraded to 2.24, 2.25, downgraded even to 1.6.7.3, but always same problem, freezed on second splash screen. I read many topics on xda-dev, and seen some people with same problem. Apparently there was 2 solutions. 1- send phone back to warranty. 2- write backup ROM from SD in bootloader.
Passed more then 15 hours asking for this SD backup everywhere, and COULDN´T find any help. Apparently no one had this "SD dump ROM Backup".
So here´s how I solved my problem
1- I tought that a SD backup was needed, and yes it is. But u can use your own phone and your own SD to do it.
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem""

Format Is Failed (!?)
Hi. I know that the focus is now on the new ROM, but I am having a problem with my MDA Compact II after following the alternative flashing method. Original details:
IPL 1.12, SPL 1.12.0000, GSM 01.11.20, OS 1.12.2.23
All seemed to go ok, following step by step as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39129&d=1179243687 and I got to the end step with ‘Congratulations’. I had no error messages. However upon hard reset I got the message: FORMAT FAT PARTITION, FORMAT IS FAILED (oops!)
The screen then showed the same details as before, but with OS now 10.2.0.8.
I’ve done some searching on the Forums & tried restoring the phone via bootloader using both “MDAc2_ROM_Johnnnnnnnnnny_v1.0” (stalls at 99%) and “RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship” (this completes 100% & reverts the OS to 1.12.2.23, but I get the same FORMAT IS FAILED message).
Any further suggestions how I can revert to the original state, or update to WM6?
(My wife has an MDA II as well – I’ve checked my battery in her phone & it is fully charged).
PS Ignore the details at the bottom - I also have an MDA COMPACT (I)
Chameleon846: if you read carefully, you would know that you need at least bootloader in ver. 2.x to flash WM6. And seeing you have 1.x, no wonder it didnt flash poperly. GO find an official HTC Prophet rom and flash it with RUU. It will help.
no problem with this, this happen time after time on every ppc, it's random flashing error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307332
please, read forums before asking, this was mentioned many times...
vlodeck, thanks. A little knowledge... I stupidly missed the 2.x bit...
I've tried the RUU method with an official ROM. It completes all 100%, but will not go any further. I've seen bits about a restore from an SD card, but can't find the exact method (copying the nk.nbf file to SD & running bootloader doesn't do anything. If I manage to sort this am I able to upgrade the bootloader to 2.x?
Thanks.
Chameleon: not charmer official ROM. Prophet ROM!

Possible workaround for "Failed to initialize camera" issue

Hi everyone,
After upgrading my QTEK 9090 with WM5, I experienced the camera bug (no reaction while pressing the camera button).
Then I downloaded the "camera2k5.cab" file I found here, and installed it as mentionned.
What was strange is that the camera perfectly worked after installation, but won't after the first reset (then never worked again). After I reset the device, I always received this message : "failed to initialize camera" when I press on the camera button.
Then I tried different option by using the rollback process (reinstalling the VM5 using device only, by pressing camera and recorder button then reset...) please read the faq to get the whole process.
And I finally found one that seems to work !
1-Install the camera2k5.cab program. Do not restart the device after installation
2-Check your camera is working (at this point it should)
3-Soft-reset your device. Camera will won't work by now.
4-Then go into the Bootloader mode (see the Faq)
5-Choose these options : Enable KITL -> NO / Clean Registry -> YES / Format Storage -> NO then press the "mail" button
6-The device will be erased and at the first launch, after the initialize session, (Tap the screen to setup your device) you will receive two warning : "Camera.exe is from an unknonw publisher" and "HTCCamera.dll is from an unknonw publisher". Of course validate by YES that you want to run both of these prg.
...and then... camera is working perfectly, even after a reset !
Note that these two warning will appears once after you reset your device.
Please let me know if this procedure help you...
this should work. theoretically.
this procedure uses the working "exe" from the camera2k5.cab and the correct registry settings from your orig OS.
as long as you dont format the storage, it wont restore the NON-working orig "exe" from the flash ROM.
the only drawback on this is that there are so many unneccesary files that will be left behind from your former configuration because you only restored the Registry and left the file-system intact.
hi, i've the same problem of str0be. it has succeded me after flashing my qtek with a rom image of a jasjar. Although I reset this operation with the previous working rom, the bug remains (the first splash image is I-mate now). I tried then, unsuccessfully again to solve the camera problem, the installation of the now running wm6pro.
would you like suggest an alternative solution? my configuration is, at the moment, as follow:
wm6pro wwe 08/02/07
radio 1.18
qtek9000
thanks a lot in advance
better u should use any branded rom...from o2 or imate..
txs for your reply. I tried with an original release of i-mate. I suppose there are some settings differences between the devices, although it looks like me odd, I've always thought they were equivalent.
I think the best solution at the moment is looking for an original rom for my device, but I don't know where could I pick it... is anyone updated about any link for my search?
happy 2008 everybody

Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes (well, this is the bootscreen )shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
Quickly press Record+Windows Media before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Windows Media Player button+Record at the same time.
Either way mentioned above should work.
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
You can do that with the camera and the record buttons.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
You can do that with the Windows Media Player and the record buttons.
If you are done, press the mail button, it'll show a white screen for a while, just wait.
If the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, Wait more, you are booting.
The welcome screen to set up your device should appear soon.]
I hope this will help to resolve the problem

The bootloader is included in the ROM that you flash onto the device so that is not the issue. You must press the two buttons and hold them until the menu appears. It may take several attempts to succeed. The R that you are referring to represents Radio and has absolutely nothing to do with anything other than GSM operations.

okay... thanks for you info, but...
if R 1.10.00 is not the version of Bootloader i got no other on screen.
I pressed the record and media button while reset and after.
I pressed the buttons similar and step by step.
I pressed the buttons after battery reconneced.
I wait after reset without pressing buttons... nothing more happens then a screen with stipes an "R 1.10.00" is displayed in right bottom.
Buttons were working fine while i used WM2003 SE on the device, so i think bottons are not the problem... but where is the bug?
I am getting crazy... ???!
Maybe i should use a other rom?
Or try to use mtty? (see above)
iso
Added:
I used mtty like discriped in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FAQ_STUCK_AT_STARTUP but after Reset no difference... :-(
So, in the three stripes screen you only see R 1.01.00 and no G xxxx.xx nor D x.xx.xx.xxx ?
Maybe that means that you have no OS installed. Have you tried reflashing the ROM ?
Also, which ROM and program are you using to flash ?
JP
i dont know about R G and D terminologies...
but we think "R 1.10.00" stands for your RADIO Version... not the ROM.
and since you're not showing the "G xxx.xx" and "D x.xx.xx.xxx"...
i second JP... it's a bad ROM Flashing...
try to flash back the old rom and retry the upgrade.
Used tools..
THX for helping me...
I only used the tools of "HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_Public" archiv FLASH.
GetDeviceData.exe
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
EnterBL.exe
nk.nbf -> wm6-rom
and i have installed MS-Activesync 4.5.
I flashed the original o2-rom back and it works. WM2003 SE booting.
Than i flashed the HELMI_BA_WM6 and it was completed with 100%, no errors, but then after hardreset the same screen with stripes an R 1.10.00
Any more ideas?
iso
Same for me.
Any solutions?
Maybe this is helpful for you
bj_b4
Guys i think i have a similar problem.
I flashed my BA many times and it worked, back and forth WM5 to WM6 and so forth, until on Fri. I had accidentaly moved files and then deleted them from the windows dir. When I flashed the then WM6 to downgrade to WM5, it worked. When I used DOC resize tool to format my storage (didn't know about th mentined method) as usual (this worked many times before) & flashed to to WM6 then it got stuck at the 4 colors.
I tried what is wrote here and I am stuck at the white screen. nothing happening. It's been like that for an hour now. If i soft reset it, and try again it's the same nothing has changed.
any ideas?

Please Help me to downgrade to WM2003

Hi, I have HTC Blue Angel running WM6.5 and find that it struggles to run at this level, i am looking to downgrade to the original wm2003 that it came with, I am on Orange UK
Current Seetings :-
Rom Version : 6.5.23004EN
Rom Date : 06/12/09
Radio Version : 1.15.00
Protocol Version : 1337.45
Extrom version : 23004-xplode
could anyone help and tell me excactly what files i need to download to restore to original shipped state and exactly how to carry out the downgrade.
Regards,
John.
welcome to the forum!
ok, what you need is:
- a pc, preferably with windows xp
- a wm2003 rom in your preferred language, e.g. from -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-
-a RUU (Rom upgrade utility), you can try mine there (attached)
and then you go to the -=wiki wizard for downgrading=- and follow the instructions there or follow these shortened instructions:
1. hard reset your device: power+reset, then camera and record, change the values in the menu from No, No, Yes to YES, YES, NO using the camera and record buttons, confirm with the mail button.
2. put your device in bootloader mode
3. connect it to the pc using the cradle or a usb cable
4. extract the shipped rom in any folder
5. put the maupgradeut_noid in there and start it
6. have a look, whether the 2nd page shows device and rom information, if not, exit, start task manager and kill activesync (wcesmgr and wcescomm) and go back to step 2
7. start the "upgrade"
8. when it's done, perform a wm2003 hard reset by pressing power+reset, and wait for the versions to show up in the bottom right corner, if all the values changed from your previous wm6.5 versions, you're probably fine and done by now.
in very rare cases, something goes wrong, some combinations of pcs and devices wouldn't work with my ruu, but you would realise that at step6 or 7, try and download another ruu then and try again, i think there also is one linked in the wiki.
at the end, your device should read something like:
R:1.12.00
G:1337.42
D:1.06.02
with best regards

Decided to go for windows pocket 2005
Thanks Chef_Tony im afraid im running vista and have tried using mtty but with no success, I have now decided to downgrade to pocket 2005, is this possible and how would i do it with windows vista as i am unable to downgrade to XP. Please help if possible.
Thanks John
Bootloader
Hi i dont know if this makes any difference my Bootloader is showing Version 2.05 Reagrds.
no, it does not make any difference, since the bootloader's version is not the problem. before you go on doing anything, you should have a good look at this site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista_Pic
and unless you are sure, the installation of the driver was successful, you should not attempt to flash the device, because then you will end up with a half-flashed device, that cannot be switched on and maybe also not flashed anymore.
http://firmware.atspace.com/ can't be accessed. is there any other site for wm2003se rom ?
I have the same problem, as i m downgrading to WM 2003, i followed all the instructions as u mentioned here, but when i run "maupgradeut_noid" it always said that this ROM is not for your device, i have Orange SPV M2000 (Blue Angel), please help i cant able to downgrade to WM 2003.
One more thing is there any way to Merge ExtROM with Storage in Windows MObile 6.5?

ok, we are dealing with several different things here:
1. the storage resize:
no, it can only be done in wm2003, no way to do it in wm5 or above, you have to downgrade
2. while attempting to downgrade, don't forget to put your device into bootloader mode, before connecting and starting maupgrade, then there will be no device error anymore.
3. of course for downgrading you need the original rom, at best from xplode's shipped rom archive, if you can't access it, just tell me your favoured language and country, and i will look it up and send you the direct download link. btw. xplode's site works fine!
favoured languange : English
Country : Indonesia
please send me the direct link. thx a lot. chef_tony
since he doesn't have indonesian roms and you are fine with english, here are the links of 2 different UK roms, you should be fine with.
T-Mobile UK WWE 1.42.00 1.42.112 1.13.00 Download (Ziddu) / Mirror 1 (Rapidshare) / Mirror 2 (Megaupload)
O2 UK WWE 1.40.00 1.40.242 1.12.00 Download (Ziddu) / Mirror 1 (Rapidshare) / Mirror 2 (Megaupload).
i hope these links work for you.
thx a lot chef_tony. I almost forgot. I want to ask whether the different rom can drain the battery fastly ? because my battery drain faster using WM6.5.
the power consumption of the device mainly consists of 2 things:
- wireless communications (gsm, gprs, bluetooth, irda, wi-fi)
- hardware usage (cpu & ram)
the wireless does not really vary from rom to rom but much like on the pc, graphically more intense applications use more power and since wm6.5 has a much nicer shell, it uses more ram and cpu to run. that uses more power.
if you want to save battery, reduce the backlight intensity, let the device switch off faster and end all applications that you don't need and de-activate wireless communications that you don't use. still then the battery life is limited but that is something you will have to learn to put up with.
thx chef_tony. I want to ask about the memory used ? is it better with storage 42mb and program 90 mb or repart it into default which is storage 60mb and program 60 mb ? is this RAM configuration also affect the battery consumption ?
no, that has nothing to do with that, because you don't resize the ram, you resize the extrom and the storage. that doesn't have any influence, kind of like the size of the sd card does not have influence.

welcome to the forum!
ok, what you need is:
- a pc, preferably with windows xp
- a wm2003 rom in your preferred language, e.g. from -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-
-a RUU (Rom upgrade utility), you can try mine there (attached)
and then you go to the -=wiki wizard for downgrading=- and follow the instructions there or follow these shortened instructions:
1. hard reset your device: power+reset, then camera and record, change the values in the menu from No, No, Yes to YES, YES, NO using the camera and record buttons, confirm with the mail button.
2. put your device in bootloader mode
3. connect it to the pc using the cradle or a usb cable
4. extract the shipped rom in any folder
5. put the maupgradeut_noid in there and start it
6. have a look, whether the 2nd page shows device and rom information, if not, exit, start task manager and kill activesync (wcesmgr and wcescomm) and go back to step 2
7. start the "upgrade"
8. when it's done, perform a wm2003 hard reset by pressing power+reset, and wait for the versions to show up in the bottom right corner, if all the values changed from your previous wm6.5 versions, you're probably fine and done by now.
in very rare cases, something goes wrong, some combinations of pcs and devices wouldn't work with my ruu, but you would realise that at step6 or 7, try and download another ruu then and try again, i think there also is one linked in the wiki.
at the end, your device should read something like:
R:1.12.00
G:1337.42
D:1.06.02
with best regards
