Hi, i posted in the Mr.Clean g4 rom thread about what happened to me, but i really want to try my best in seeing if there is a possible fix for this phone. I'm sorry if i'm being annoying, but i am going to try everything in my power to get this phone to work, cause i wasn't able to replace it, and it was so expensive! AND I LOVE IT DEATHHHHHHH
Allright, i have a T-Mobile USA MDA, now i'm not sure if it has a g3 or g4 chip, that is my mistake. I went ahead and installed the g4 version of mr clean. It Installed, loaded up and i calibrated my screen and everything was going great. Then it started installing the customizations, and it turned off, forever. It won't turn on, no bootloader, no nothing. I had a 60% charge on the battery when this started, and this shouldn't be the problem as it loaded up fine, and it was charging while the customizations where loading.
So now i'm left with a plastic brick. Thank you for any kind of help whatsoever.
again, sorry to be asking for this, but i'm so desperate at this point.
I am a newby but am a reader of about 7 months.
I too have exactly the same issue on three devices. I tried one and it went brickward bound. Thought it was a dodgy device so tried another..........exactly the same again. Then my very patient and understanding boss walked in and said that he tried his last night and......well.....now I have three bricks on my desk. :? The only diference to the post before me is that mine are T-Mobile UK Wizards.
Any thoughts would be most welcome.
Mine went exactly the same way R.I.P
What exactly happens in the customization? I thought it was just installing the odd program etc?
Not dead yet
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You probably had the G4 chipset you can always take the phone for replacement. Just tell them it wasn't working when you got it home. Tell them it won't power on
Same issue with me here, Mine just stopped working too... Now I brought it back to the Tmobile store, and I have 2 wait for 2 weeks..
Except. I did not have an non Tmobile Rom on it..

exactly the same here, mda vario is dead too. looking for solutions.
JTAG flashing?
I wonder if anyone has information on how to JTAG flash a Wizard G4, or would be this just be at HTC's factories/repair depots?
(JTAG flashing is attaching clips to certain chip pinouts and flashing it using a dedicated device that is for this purpose.)

I am a Newbie so be patient with me and your advice is appreciated.
I have a Qtek 9100 (Wiza200) G3
Rom 1.1.7.5
Radio 4.0.13.16
Ext rom 1.1.7.105
I purchased the phone unlocked and have used it with sim's from other countries. When I attempt to run the following updates.
RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE-30MB
RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2
I get the error "file name is not a valid Pocket PC application".
What am I doing wrong?
(I have also read all the recommended threats which were great. Thanks for sharing)
you obvious did not read all the recommenced sites! My guess is that you tried to run the upgrade file in pocket pc. You must connect your phone to the computer and establish activsync connection first. than you run the upgrade file on your computer

Navy2010 is correct you are running the updates from your PPC this won't work. You must run the programs from a PC. I also suggest a little more reading.
To get you started have a look at these threads:

Make sure you have CID unlocked the device.

Thanks Gents but one more question for u?
The upgrade went perfectly. Thanks
The reason I was trying to upgrade the ROM is not resolved still.
When device is in the Portrait position (slide is closed) my touch screen works maybe 20% of the time. When I open the slide the touch screen works perfectly. The issue still occurs after the upgrade.
Any recommendations?

Sounds like a hardware failure and could be the reason the phone was sold... ?? If you can return it under some warrantee, I'd lean that direction.

I agree.
Yep I agree. I have sent an email to the seller. In all fairness He sold me a brand new device and he has been pretty good so far. Let see what he says now. I'll update the post when he gets back to me. Thanks for you comments.
Seller has sent me an RMA form
I guess he is going to repair it or replace it.
He emailed me an RMA form which I have sent back. Saga continues.

I have had this problem but in reverse it turned out to be muck under the screen and would cause the start button to activate by just pushing the side of the case.
Get a laminated buisness card or something like it and slide it in between the screen and case
You may have something here
Thanks Eddieitman. I tried it and nothing much came out, but usually after a few mins the screen locks up. This time it's still responsive after 15mins. We'll wait and see after an hour if it still works. fingers are cross.
btw nice site.
Still locking up but a little squeeze works. lol
I am talking about the device. lol Unfortunately, it's still locking up. But when I squeeze the sides of screen it comes back. Sounds like my situation maybe a little worse than yours. I going to send it back and see what they do. thks for the help.
Screen issue not covered by warrantee.
This is a Update/FYI.
I sent my phone into Arvato Teleservice out of Germany to fix the screen issue. $97.00 cdn to do so. First off their customer service is absolutely horrendous. So avoid them.
They determined the issue to be a damaged Main Board, but because of the flashed ROM they are not going to do it under warrantee. I should of downgraded before sending it in (my fault). I am still fighting with them.
Cost to fix $490.00repair + $97.00shipping = buy a new phone.
I am not suggesting it is a result of the ROM but wondering has anyone experienced screen issues after flashing the ROM?
i have been updating and trying different roms over the last couple of days, i decided last night to revert back to o2 xda mini s original rom downloaded from o2, uploaded the wizard-love rom then started the updsate as instructed, followed the instructions and it installed, however when i soft reset during the 3 second customisation period, the device shows no sign of life, and wont turn on............................................i would like to know if i have bricked my phone, or there could be other reasons, before i go to the expense of getting repaired.
the only info on the device i can remember was i had the wizard-love rom installed before the upgrade and it is a G4 device and i am gethering it is(was)CID locked.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance someone/anyone can give
I think the o2 rom you were trying to load contains IPL/SPL. On a G4 this could mean a bricked phone. Still, I think I've heard people using their carriers rom on their G4 without problems? Could someone confirm this? I always take out the IPL and SPL and recook the rom just to make sure.
You don't even get to the IPL/SPL screen? You could try putting it onto the wallcharger for serveral hours and try again. Good luck!
i hear you and thanks for reply, only tried that rom as it is the only o2 rom and actually says it is the factory one for my phone, so must admit , presumed it was compatible....................while i am writing does anyone know of a way of reviving this problem, even if it means a price,
regards
just to update, no ipl/spl screen or life at all , tried the wallgharge but nothing as yet, regards
cid locked
are you getting any response from the phone at all? if not leave the battery out for at least two hours then put battery back in and just charge from the wall without turning on the device for at least an hour. if it still doesnt turn on whatsoever its bricked!
if thats the case then do as i did last year when i accidently bricked mine and claim that you lost your phone to your insurance
good luck
mark
no responce at all, will try your suggestion , however as i bought it off ebay no insurance and no contents ins also, never mind .............easy come easy go
regards
another update, contacted ok xda repair center and as it is " bricked " will cost me in the region of £185, so not sent..............however thanks for the help everyone , much appreciated
good to hear that your enjoying your phone again..
just be very very carefull nextime..
-004
thanks for the reply, not using phone as still bricked , so bit the bullet and have just pusrchased an xda orbit, however will not be updateing roms for a while , at least until i get some use out of the phone
regards
Bought it 5 days ago. When the battery went dead last night, I plugged it in to charge and switched it on .It did not go past the Windows Mobile splash screen. I took the battery out as well as the sim and memory cards, to no avail. I left it plugged in overnight and got the battery fully charged (battery indicator light is now green) and the network status green light would (at least sometimes) start flashing on boot, even though the phone would not completely boot up. I CAN get it into bootloader. What I want to know is, should I go to www.htc.com and download and install an official ROM from there, or should I leave all that alone and take it back to where I got it from before I screw it up? Additionally, the phone shows up as a Dopod D810 when registered on www.htc.com, and the radio and ROM versions appear to be lower/older than what came pre-installed in the phone. Advice anyone? I am fairly new and in the process of learning all this wonderful stuff you guys have to teach.
it seems like its already been fiddled with (correct me if i'm wrong people), i would visit the HTC club site and if you can upgrade using your serial number do that, as if you look in the trinity WIKI in "Trinity" forum (Not Trinity 6 forum, here) it states there is a different way to flash the p3600i as its setup different than the standard p3600.
This is exactly what happened to my phone when the battery died (after installing FInixNOver) Is there a problem with these ROMS, or something that happens when the phone dies!... My phone was also 'sticking/frozen/crashed' on the splash screen.
I just reflashed it with a new ROM after fully charging it again.
Thanks VISTAR. And WIZZKID - your phone works perfectly now after the flashing? And do you think it's because of the stuff you installed? BTW my ROM was an official HTC ROM. I actually got called out early this morning to do a flight to the island where I bought the phone (I am a commercial pilot flying Caribbean routes) and I packed it's backside back in the box and sent it to be exchanged. I don't have the new one yet, but I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn't try something else because of this problem of sticking at the splash screen - however I only have a choice of the Kaiser and the S730 at the moment. The P3600/P3600i is among my favourite WM phones of all times, but I don't wanna have to go thru this again. What do you guys think? By the way - I only just realized that I started this post in the wrong section, so please forgive me anyone whom is not pleased by that.
iF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE OF A KAISER I WOULD GO WITH THAT, ITS THE BEST OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT..
Yeah I know but I just don't like it the way I like the P3600i and some of the others. Besides I prefer no sliding hardware keyboard. Moving parts is an issue for me as I am very fussy about wear and tear/looseness. Thanks again for your help. I am gonna move over to WIZZKID's thread on this P3600/P3600i non-starting issue since I am in the wrong section of the forum. Thanks to all those who assisted...
Got a second P3600i and it did the same thing - a hard reset fixed the problem.
Htc tytn II.
It happened already once before two weeks and today again and i can't start my kaiser. First time i manage to start it somehow i don't even know how and i thought it won't happen again. When i push a start button only green color light appears on it, and nothing on screen. like it didn't start at all.
After that i can't do anything except soft reset which only shut down phone and green light gone then. Or take battery out! so i tryed everything later and now can't even start my phone anyhow!
I flashed rom in past and have some of dutty's rom in there
Please help me and tell me what is wrong with my phone and how to repair this problem?
now i can't even get green light. now is completely dead. I am worried if i send it at service with warranty that they will see i have no official rom (i'm on dutty's)

Flash it back to stock, all the details are in the wiki, you just have to read. Then you can warranty it.

If it is dead and won't start how are they going to find out you don't have a stock rom?
It is not like they have a bunch of brilliant guys sitting around HTC miraculously reviving dead phones. They through it in the dead phone pile and use it for parts.
Could be a battery issue (highly unlikely as I havent really heard of this happening ever) but still, its possible. So, if you have a replacement battery try it out. Also, has it been water damaged, have you dropped it multiple times or has something hit it hard? These things could also brick a tilt, something like that happened to my friend when a door slammed his wizard.
I doubt its a software issue, a software issue would still allow it to turn on.

So it is now a battery issue then ?!
doesn't help anything else again. didn't had any hard hit in it. i was yesterday at Prodigy music concert so maybe there get some hit but it should not be anything seriously.. For the first time it didn't get any hit.. It was rainy here yesterday and i had it in my pocket, but first time when this happened it wasn't rainy, than it was on hard sunny day and for the first time i thought it was because of sun! Now was quite rainy and wet day...
hm. i have news now here, when i leave it on green light started for a longer period, i get those multiple lines colors on screen i see. it's approx. 10 colors lines... and it stays for a 10 sec. approx. and after that it shuts down itself! And now again i cant even get green color. Disaster!

I suggest trying another battery as was said before. Or it can be also broken screen or something.

it's not broken screen because first time i somehow manage to start it and it works normal for 2 weeks.. so it must be a battery...
i will try with other battery later from friends kaiser

ok, let us know if that worked.
i tried with friends battery and it's not a battery problem. With his battery same problem, and when i put in my battery in his phone it works normal...
looks like I'll need to go to htc service using warranty... i hope it won't be some problem with them because i have dutty's rom
argh... not good!
now i got phone call from servicer who manage to turn on phone. And he saw in there dutty's rom, not official and my warranty now won't worth
now everything what he will do with phone i will need to pay by my own money.
Now he started phone and he says that he will return it to official rom and see will phone work then normal. If not he said he should change whole mother board to fix this problem which is really huge expense. He told me price almost same as new kaiser!!! terrible!
disaster, now i heard with service and the phone is not working well even with official rom now. I don't know what to do! He said he need to change motherboard and the cost for that is like new phone! Terrible. So, to be honest, this rom flashing is total mistake because could easy loose phone just like i do.
i would like to sell it but don't know how now because he don't work properly!

That's the risk you take when flashing a non OEM rom. If the rom your using isn't worth that risk, then don't flash it.
I bet the rom you were using didn't cause the problem either.

The problem can be or can not be caused by rom flashing. It could be just some hardware fault which has nothing to do with rom flashing.

i agree. i also don't thing it's because of rom flashing. probably some hardware failure...
but problem is when i can't start phone i can't change official rom offcourse
anyone know how much new motherboard cost and can i get it online somehow? here in croatia is not easy to find this because very few this phones are available... same with parts of this phone

dont know, but try to ask this question in kaiser accesories section.
Hey guys I need some help I have a new phone with original htc rom but with hardspl and .05 radios. This morning I turned it on and used it for about half the day this evening when I went to my room to shut it down and plug it in the touchscreen would not respond. I soft reset the device and removed the battery and then it slightly worked but was very sluggish and unresponsive compared to how it normally is. I looked to the unlock button on the loading page but was unable to find it. Any help you guys have would be great. Thanks
Have you tried hard resetting your device?
yes I have tried a hard reset but it is still not working. Any other ideas
Anybody have any advice I mean I don't think it is hardspl or the radio as I had been using it for a few days before it broke it is really erratic after talking to HTC they said if I can send it in to the people I bought it from requesting a replacement for a defective unit as they have a 14 day no questions asked return policy which is why I bought from them.
