So here's the story, i got the wiza200 (i think its qtek 9100) from a friend and it looks like he successfully turned it into a brick..
I did some research, and i'm guessing its not a bad flash. From what he tels me he flashed it, the phone booted and at the setup screen (stylus tapping) the phone just turned off. If i plug the device in the screen just flickers on and off really fast and then just dies, the USB connection is dead also. An what i managed to dig out of this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282213 it's a battery problem?
I searched the forums and could not find a topic on that topic ( ) ). So can you guys help me out a bit?

I have this wierd experience with my Imate PDA2K, yesterday, when I open my phone (imate pda2k), the screen suddenly flicker... and then it fades. so i did a soft reset, as i thought would help me out of the problem...But to my surprise, nothing happened, it goes on flickering and fading, until such time, that the screen totally faded, all you can see is a whjite screen with no thing visible.. after minutes of doing a hard reset, still nothing happened, i leave that **** phone on the shelf. after 30 minutes, I checked it and all things back to normal, the screen was ok till a couple of hours, and that same problem happened again till now... What im gonna do? I always end up as if I will throw that silly damn phone to the trash can.. hehe.. What could be the problem then? Is the poroblem was on the LCD? Will the upgrade to v1.40.. solve this? Pls any idea, im desperate..
hooo
No one cares? ..............m,b
Multiple posts of the same problem certainly won't help - if someone knows the answer they'll help but if they don't you'll just hack them off.
Be patient.
sorry for
posting that same problem again and again on different forums.. I thought that will be the fastest way for me to have the answer to my problem...
Now the screen of the phone back to normal, but still, I experience that flicker thing on the screen... Its hard for me coz, I bought the phone in the Middle east, and Im using it here in the philippine... and no imate product is being sold here in my place.
Hey...
the problem still there... Another thing I noticed was that the screen will fade and then for you to be able to see a text or anything on the screen, you have to press the on/off button.. but still after some times, same stupid thing will happen again and again...... what should i do? Anyone of you here experiencig that same problem with your blue angels?
hey
Im so desperate... the problem still there... I have not upgraded to the latest rom version yet.. Sometimes the screen goes blank (just all white).. and then when your press the on/off button several times, thats the time the screen will go back to normal, and then suddenly it will flicker for about a minute and then it stops. TO THOSE WHO ARE EXPERTS HERE IN THIS FORUM, ANY IDEA WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM? I DID A HARD RESET SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY AS I THOUGHT COULD HELP ME SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT STILL NO IMPROVEMENTS.. FOR ME TO DECIDE IF EVER THE PROBLEM IS ON THE HARDWARE SIDE, MY MOTHER WILL BRING THE PHONE WITH HER IN KUWAIT, SHE WILL GO BACK THIS SEPTEMBER 11, WE'RE HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES NO IMATE DISTRIBUTOR HERE AND ITS HARD ON MY SIDE THAT WHENEVER THERE IS A PROBLEM ON THE PHONE, NOBODY ASIDE FROM YOURSELF THAT CAN HELP YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM.............THANKS
hey
I b ring it to repair shop this morning, (actually they are not repairing Blue Angel) but he had tried to repair the same phjone with the same problem as mine before, he said that the problem was on the ( I dont know the right spelling though., hehe(Flex)? is it true?
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.)
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.
Hi Everyone this is my first post on xda Developers so go easy on me
Ive been reading alot about flashing to upgrade the wizard/K-Jam to use WM6 and thought i quite liked the idea, so decided to investigate further.
Im new to flashing phones/PDA's but not new to the concept of firmware and EEPROM flashing and PC's etc.
I thought as afirst timer i would follow the newbies guide posted in the "best ROM" thread.
It all looked quite straight forward so i proceeded to the first step of unlocking.
My wizard is a G3 so i followed the G3 guide and flashed with the "button ROM" and all seemed fine and the phone booted up fine etc, i then thought id reboot again (for some reason, just to double check all was well) and upon boot up the screen was scrambled i could see colours etc in the scrambled mess as if it was the blue windows splash screen ans then i got the Ping the phone usually makes of first boot that prompts fot the screeen alignment wizard, but the screen was still scrambled.
It looks kinda like when a laptop screen cable is broken so i thought maybe my cable has come loose from the mainboard, i decided to open the phone up and check,
No the cable was fine, i chcked all the connectors inside and put the phone back together.
Booted up, Still scrambled
I then decided to cut my losses and reflash to the standard Imate K-jam Rom, so i went and downloaded that from imates website and reflashed.
booted up, still scrambled
Have i somehow bricked my phone?
Has someone come accross this before, and got any idea of a soloution?
It seems to me like there is something wrong with the screen but why would i go wrong when flashing a ROM ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
DigitalMetal
i think k-jam is g4 atleast mine is g4. this is only the hint that u might hav flashed wrong rom.
mine is G3 as it doesnt have the trailing numbers after the spl it just says 216 not 216.00.00 ...etc ....etc so i think im correct in saying mine is a G3 and i flashed with a G3 ROM.
And when i flashed the Button ROM it was OK untill i restarted because i saw the splash screen and the screen alignment wizard.
Once the screen went bad i reflashed it with the genuine Imate Kjam rom and its still bad.
Ok so I was trying to unlock a Blue Angel I just got and somehow I think I may have bricked the device. It won't wake up from grey screen. When I plug it into the computer the red light comes on. I can't seem to get to the bootloader screen though. MTTY won't work because I cant get to the bootloader screen and no reset is working. Any ideas whats wrong or some possible solution??? I doubt I'm the first one to have had this problem, but google searching has gotten me NO answers.
OK remove battery for at least an hour from the device, and charge it separately in the cradle, after that try the bootloader MTTY method
also it would be helpful to know what did you do to come to this situation
i can gladly tell you i had the same situation with mine and solved it. as xplode says, after carging the battery seperately and trying over and over again i finally got back to bootloader mode as there was no rom on the device anyway as the flashing process canceled with the vista bug, of which by the time i did not know. the red led is generally not that good of a sign and i understand you are shocked, but it can be solved, so don't be!
[semi off topic]
One Quick Note(should find this in the manual, i think, i lost my manual):
if your BA is showing RED led other than ORANGE or LimeGREEN led WHILE CHARGING. it has a problem regarding the battery not charging or the charger not giving enough output.
or we could always say... it's in the wiki, or faq
[on topic]
Im telling you It's not DEAD! Lol... and tell us if it's OK now. OK?
-SS-
have a good day y'all.
