phone is not powering up
hi , I have a htc typhoon (amadeus) based qtek 8100 phone , by mistake I upgraded bootloader to a htc wizard bootloader rom ( IPL/SPL 1.01 ).Now the phone isn't opening turning on or powering up.When connecting to usb nothing happens.Sometimes, it blinks all of the keyboard lights (maybe sometimes that I play with key combinations). How can I repair and put the right bootloader into phone again ?
Note1: I am pressing cam button and connect usb cable nothing happens.
Note2: I can't access to the bootloader screen
.....wow :roll:
LOL that's perhaps the funniest thing i have read on this site

I would pose this question in the dev/hacking forum or on the smartphone dev site.
I'm only guessing here, but unless there is a second bootloader image (the Wizard for example has two copies stored in ROM) that can be booted from or otherwise forced to copy over into the primary space, then you might own a brick.
Actually, you may be able to revive it using a JTAG connector and associated flashing software, but that's specific to your device and would be better addressed over in the Typhoon forums. Essentially you would connect a JTAG connector to the EEPROM inside your phone, and the other end connects to your PC. You'd then need software that can transfer a new bootloader image over to the phone.

Sorry for saying it like this....
But how the **** did you managed to do this?
Were you drunk or something like that...
[ on-topic]
Are you sure that you can't get it in bootloader mode?
What happens if you get it in bootloader mode and just try to flash it again (although your PC said it isn't connected) ?
The problem is I don't know the JTAG connection points for HTC amadeus based phones.Where should I look ?
Phone is not powering or charcing because of these are also controlled by software.Bootloader mode is not available.(I am talking about charcing even not working or opening the phone , bootloader is impossible)

I cant believe this....I had no issues all day upgrading the ROM...until my PC overheated and shut off at 57%...
now when my phone starts up I see the 3 bars and it sais USB in the bottom left...but active sync is not connecting!
help!
what 3 bars?
a Red Blue Green Bars color?..
If that so.. you are too lucky..
I read a little more on the wiki:
Type 2a: When the phone boots, it goes directly to bootloader mode (tri-color screen)
This is what I have right now...I can't seem to get active sync to connect...although at the bottom of the screen it has "USB"
I have tried using mtty and dont think its diong anything...
Just stay in the bootloader (tri-color screen) and make sure the "USB" is shown in your device screen..
The reflash.. even if its not sync/connected.. just reflash the ROM..
Everything will be fine..
wow....i think it may actually work....that was SCARY.
nice to know the good ole button flash works when all others fail
I just want to make a clarification..
You are just flashing your device and when the upgrade process is on 57% your computer suddenly shutoff? and the upgrade was cut..
What happened next? did you reset the device then went to tri-color screen? or you just force bootloader mode it?
Yeah pretty much exactly what you said. I literally got up for a second to get some water, came back and saw the telltale sign that my pc had just shut itself off (the screen was black except for the standard boot junk that shows up).
So I look at my device (8125) and it was locked at 57% and was not responsive. I figured that the flash util probably wouldn't continue after the computer started back up (and besides, the device wasn't alive anymore) so I rolled the dice and unplugged the USB and took out the battery. When I put the battery back in and hit the power button, it went straight to the bootloader (the tri color screen).
- By the way - ive got the button image on here now - workin like a champ...
tnx for the explanation..
have fun!!..
thanks for the quick reply - i thought i was completely stuck but the button flash seemed to take care of everything. Makes me almost think that bricking this thing is near impossible... >
Yup!.. that also my conclusion.. its impossible to brick.. thats why i ask for your clarification..
What is this "button flash"? I am stuck in RGB boot mode with no activesync connection. I have read til my eyes crossed, but can not fix my 8125 (G3)!
Please advise.
How about more information? On your bootloader (Rainbow screen) what does it show the IPL / SPL to be? What were you trying to do when you got into this situation? What happened when you were flashing? Is your device a G3 or G4?
Safest thing for you to do right now is to flash your carrier's rom onto the phone (an official shipped ROM). With your phone in the bootload, just run the ROM and it will install (DO NOT RUN A CUSTOM ROM AT THIS POINT SINCE YOU HAVEN"T TOLD US ANY OTHER INFORMATION).
G3 8125
ipl/spl 2.25
Was trying to use faria's latest rom...got stuck at 99% for almost one hour, so I rebooted computer and discon'd the wizard. Now it will boot to rainbow screen and will not connect via activesync (so I can't utilize any other roms to get back to square one).
ActiveSync will NOT connect when you are at the boot loader. As long as you see USB in the bottom left of your phone (above the left soft key) then you can flash your original Cingular ROM and be good to go again.
brick, brick, brick
It happend to me too with faria´s new crossbow rom:
the device freezed at 99% and I reseted it then....nothing happend- bootloader mode: red green blue + usb... but no chance to flash ANYTHING... always the same message:ERROR (260) update error, no connection to the device...???
I tried the O2-mini s update, and the faria rom, no chance just a brick
I need help....

Why did you reset it??? All roms freeze. The screen that is flashing the ROM even says it can take up to 10 mins. If you don't get an error onthe PC then DON'T stop the flashing process.
Go get a copy of your carrier's official ROM (not a custom one, but an official one from your carrier.). Then with the phone at the boot loader (Rainbow screen) and the USB cord plugged, in, run the official ROM. If that doesn't work, then get a copy of the Wizard Love rom and flash it (You'll need to find links around here for it, or pull it via PirateBay). You may also want to reboot the PC you are running on and remove your SD card (if you have one) just to remove variables that can play in to all of this.
Good luck

Ten minutes is understandable, but mine stalled for about an hour at the 99% mark. Even my PC would not respond. Is that normal for a rom upgrade?

I was finally able to reset my 8125 to the Cingular ROM. Not sure why I couldn't do it on my PC, but after moving over to my wife's PC I did not have any problems.
Thanks!

o.k. boys, now it is a nice little crossbow brick from faria.....and I can make telefon-calls with my brick.

No, that sounds like your pc locked up or something (I'd blame windows on that one )

Sorry, I may be missing your humor or sarcasm... Are you saying its dead (if so, give more details about what it does or doesn't do, IPL/SPL it shows (if it turns on), etc... If its now working, then congrats!
I have a stuck image on my 8125. The phone "boots" but only shows a white screen, and is unusable.
The "a2sd all" restore option mentioned in the forums doesnt work for me. I have read on several forums that I should be able to reflash the OS from the bootloader, though I cant find any instructions on how to do this
Could someone point me in the right direction for how to flash an OS VIA bootloader?
Thx
1. Get the phone to bootloader (tree color mode) - I think by soft resetting and pressing the camera button at the same time
2. Connect it to the computer (Windows XP) with a USB cable
3. You will notice "USB" written in a lower corner of the phone (this means it is connected)
4. Now you can flash your provider's ROM without any problems
I am not sure whether the bootloader flashing is possible from Windows Vista.
You must flash normally (in bootloader you cannot use either shelltools or SoftSPL - so use your provider's ROM).
Mirek
Mirek - not to be totally ignorant, but the step 4 is what I'm having problems with .... where can I find either a providers ROM, or something that I can actually use while in bootloader mode?
Thanks!
NM ... Found it!
For anyone reading this .... You can get the provider ROM for the 8125 from HTCAmerica here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8125/software-downloads.html
Thanks for your help!

Dear Readers,
I'm having problem with my Dopod 900(,Qtek 9000,HTC Universal,O2 Xda Exec,Jasjar ). Can somebody please tell me what to do?
Before this, every time somebody called, the PDA lost the network bar and start to search or network and reject the calls automatically and also i wasn't able to send SMS. Now, i tried to install WM6 crossbow, the phone even cannot be on !!! even when i connect it to the charger, even the light will not be on. the only page that i can see is a white page asks Press 0 to Restore factory default or press X to exit. either perss 0 or X, the phone will be off and i cant turn it on with power key....
Please tell me what can i do ?? I really need your help.
PLEASE REPLY, PLEASE.

WHAT did you downgrade from?
Did you re-unlock your G3?
How's your battery?

IPL/SPL 2.08? Does that exist? Do you mean 3.08?
Are you sure your device is a G3? Or you killed it when flashing Button's ROM?
First of all i do not know where to post this. I have had a HTC wizard for over a year now. it has been working fine after cooking up wm6 and installing it for 6 months. today when i restartet the phone pulling the battery out and inserting it, the phone starts up, then the blue screen comes and shows ispl etc, then windows image shows, there it stops. i do not know what to do. It has been a while since i did pocket pc modding now, and i have forgotten all about it.

Maybe something crashed the OS software.
Hope you have a system backup, or at least PIM backup using ActiveSync because what you need now is a hard reset.
Punching the reset hole (next to IR window) while holding CommManager+VoiceDial, then press "Dial" as prompted.
how do i hard reset my dash/s620?
i have tried hard reset
i have hard reset the phone. i do not have any backup in active sync. and i dont think that matters. because my phone does not connect to activesync since it does not start up. and in the three colored boot mode the phone is not detected by active sync. when i hard reset the phone it just came to the same point and freezed
If you didn't touch the ROM for long time, then it is probably a hardware failure...

READ YOUR PHONE MANUAL, and THIS IS NOT DASH FORUM.
hard to believe
First off, thanks for fast responses.
It cant be hardware(Not as a total theory of course) or likely not, because phone was not touched by water, shock, bumb fire or anything. it laid on my desk, worked, laid on my dask more, freezed. and it has been working for 6 months with wm6. is there anyway i can flash something into it. without activesync, but in the three colored boot mode?
Get into bootloader, plug in your usb cord and give it a minute...ON THE TRI-COLORED SCREEN do you see in the bottom corner "USB"??? If yes, you are OK. Get a stock rom such as the Tmo 2.26 and flash that. If you do not see "USB" in the bottom corner then as far as I know, you are fukd.
For more info on issues, read the linky in my siggy. There is valuable info there that may help with other ways to flash a rom.
Good luck.
i see usb
thanks, guess i am not fked then
Only problem is i have forgotten all about this now, and that i am sorry for.
But i have to ask you, as from norway wich stock rom to choose, what is stock rom, and when you say bootloader, is that an expression for the three colored screen or is that a program, that can flash in three colored screen? Thanks, i do not expect an answer on this noob questions, but i would really apreciate answers.
stock rom & bootloader
stock rom is the rom which comes with ur phone while purchasing it.. u can call it base rom..bootloader is tri-coloured screen which is bios for ppc if it gets fked then phone is bricked..next time if u cant boot up, then u can flash ur phone with the help of bootloader...
that was fast
thanks, but i do not think i have the rom that came with my mobile phone:/
and i do not know how to flash from tri colored screen, because all the files i have tried cant detect my phone.
ipl adn spl are 3.08 if that helps anything.
that was fast
is there an app you use to flash from tri colored
there is no need for any app, just connect ur phone to tri-coloured screen..u willl see usb in down left corner.. then ur phone is connected then run RUU utility.. if any problem comes i am online at hotmail... [email protected]
Can you power down? If not, remove battery for 1 seconds, the re-insert. Then press all at once the camera, comm and power buttons (or I believe you can also press the camera and soft reset. It is in the wiki explaining, as are some stock roms. Use any stock rom if you plan on flashing a cooked rom. The Tmo 2.26 is a decent stock rom, there is a 3.08 on the forum somewhere that you can also use. Get a stock rom. Get into the tri-colored bootloader. Look to see if it says usb in the bottom corner. If yes, connect your cable and using the ruu from the stock rom, flash your phone. Once a stock rom is installed follow the directions to cid/sim unlock your phone. Once unlocked, you can flash any cooked rom.
PS- I am assuming you have a G3 phone.
PPS- reading the wiki and the stickies are very helpful. Give them a try.
im sutch a noob
yeh i got same problem... i will try a hard reset but im at school... hope it fixes it... i got imate jasjam... BETTER WORK OR I WILL KILL MY BROTHER 4 STUFFING AROUND WITH MY PHONE
im sutch a noob
gah... it diddent work what do i do now????
hi all
my mda dead now when i put usb cable its kepad lights only blink some time and speaker beep.
this happend with wrongly upgrade with blue angle rom.
mda detect with pc ok.
any suggestion.
thanks in advance.
try entering the bootloader and then try flashing an official rom from your phone provider
I think your device is a brick now. The Blue Angel ROM changed the bootloader. No chance to restore.
ChrBeck, weren't you the one who suggested that one can simply copy a valid bootloader to a SD Card (then use the NTRW.exe trick)?
No, I wasn't. Because I know that if you can't get in bootloader you can't install a new one. I've never heard that there is a trick to reeinstall the bootloader, if there is no one.
There is nothing wrong with the 'trick'. I know that it'll ask you to push the power button to flash from SD card (if done properly). Forget it then.
Jani-Jan, needs to try restoring the ROM using another PC (with a different OS).
OK, maybe this trick is from Prophet and works on Charmer. Sorry for that. And the Idea with an other OS is good. I think Linux will work. If you need translated tools write I will try.
Well, everything fine i finally made all to work unroot and stuff and when to write the spl ( death spl ) my phone is dead, manifestation by not doing anything else but starting vibrating and showing me 't-mobile G1' bootup image, in rest nothing works, it doesen,t listen to any button push, is frozen, it even recharge battery when plugged in to the power supply wile closed. Please help me this is desperate i need working phone!!! Thank you!
If it doesn't go to bootloader or recovery, it's bricked. Gonna have to use ezterry's jtag method if you want it back:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5911627&postcount=302
thank you this looks interesting but i am awake of 48 hours + hope to understand how to connect it by jtag and have the necessary.
I really don't see how anyone can flash the SPL without flashing the radio first....its in big huge red letters everywhere and its always mentioned to people who want to install the death spl.
At any rate....don't you need a working G1 to bring back a bricked one?
Here it was because i interrupted the writing process accidentally
Does that mean you pulled your battery during the SPL flash?
Yes, and the only thing is doing now is the usual vibe at boot and frozen on the screen with the boot image t-mobile g1 stupid and annoying.

No I don't think so.. as I understand it, you just need the jtag serial interface and a brick with the blue light mode working.
Well too much time it takes the jtag method and don't think i have all i need and i don't really want to start soldering to the mainboard, on htc with win mo i could do a hack to install from pc with ruu flasher on the old stuff but here there is nothing working and couldn't find enough details what is 'blue light mode' anyhow if still doesen't work with simple methods i'l pay someone with a gsm box compatible with this like otr or what is its name. And BTW shouldn't it be working with mini usb to serial converter too?
