MDA compact 2 DEAD tried everything

I have very foolishly tried to upgrade my mda compact 2 with a Vario ROM
Now I have
IPL 1.01
SPL1.12.000
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
I charged my battery with an external charger even then it was not detected by the pc via usb cable for sync.
Then I bought an external cradle which can charge the mda compact from external power at the same time you can connect the usb cabble to pc for sync. The cradle is working okay on another charmer but doesnot charge my charmer at .MDA.
I can only connect mda with external charger which came with mda and it turns it on but doesnot charge the battery. I donot know what else to do. Is there any way that I can update the ROM from my SD card while it is connected to te mains charger.
i need from senior gurus
plz help.

hello
i have the same problem. i take out the battery then you saw 6 pin in the phone
i put 3,5v on 2pin + , 2pin - and 2 empty.
from top of phone
1 empty
2 +
3 +
4 -
5 -
6 empty
then i go in bootloader connect usb to pc and all was fine.
but you do it on your own risk you can kill it

did u use by a separate new battery 3.5 v as the on mda battery you cannot make out +ve or negative terminals.
i covered 1 and 6 with paper to omit 1 and 6 connections but it did not work.

can someone hack the T MObile upgrade ?

i use powersuply with 3,6v take out battery and connect the power with the mda

i have tried using a power supply and connecting as you told but no luck, i was wondering how this could work as when phone goes in bootloader mode the charging circuit is stopped?? i may be wring but thats what i read in one of forums.
any bright ideas

i dont charge anything i put the power to the phone without accu inside and it work pin 1 and 6 are for charge akku

Does the 3.5v have to be 1.5A (approximaely)?
My charmer won't even turn on. It won't do a hard reset either.
My PC, doesn't even detect it.

I just pulled apart my charmers battery pack, to realize that pin #1 is the same as pin#2 and pin #5 is the same as pin #6. Whenever I connect an arbitrary power source as indicated in your previous post, the screen only flickers for a fraction of a second. Any other suggestions?
My battery is definately not holding charge at all.

What about this page?
http://pinouts.ru/PDA/qtek_power_pinout.shtml

The site is for xda 2. Because of this the pins aren't the same.

Which pins did you connect the external charger to?

ChrBeck, The pinout in post #5 works for powering up my phone, but I want a configuration for charging my battery now, since I don't have the original charger.

You may can conect the Charger you use to power the phone and connect it to the pins of battery like in post 5. It maybe charges. But i haven't tryed it. It also can burn down your battery.

No Bootloader
Good evening Guys,
I cant get the Bootloader with normal usb-cable, only with power-supply. When I plug out the cable the mda display is flashing. IPL1.01 SPL 3.08. Can you help me?

I've concluded that you'll need to flash the unit, using as SD card (instead). I'll post the URL

I already tried this, it didn't work. I'm looking to try something else.

Button ROM reads wrong battery power.

Hi,
I want to update my ROM from a standard WM5 to WM5SE rev 5.0. Following instructions, I downgraded with the button ROM to let me CID unlock my G3 Jammin. The butotn ROM installed, but when it reset it would not boot and both the red and blue lights would flash together, the screen would flash on, and then it would shut off.
This pattern is repeated every couple of second and doesn't stop until I pull the USB cable out, after which it repeats once more then switches off. I can't turn the phone back on with the power button. From here I can get back into the locked cycle by powering on with the USB cable plugged in (back into reset cycle), or into windows with the mains power cable (see below).
I think this means that the problem is related to my USB cable being plugged in. When I put the mains power cable in, the PDA will boot into windows. Related to this is what I think may be the main culprit. In setting, Windows says the battery is on 0%!!! Even the mains power cable doesn't seem to ever charge it, so I think it must be a software problem related to the ROM. Inceidentally, I recall that I had to softreset near the end of Button ROM's install, perhaps this is part of the problem...
Now I can reinsert the USB cable only during the Windows boot process, which as mentioned has to be initiated with the mains power cord, ie. I swap over half way through. If I change from mains power to USB after Windows has fully booted then the phone resets and the above reseting cycle occurs again.
Once Windows is fully booted with the USB cable in everything is stable and Activesync detects the phone. The problem is that when I try to reinstall a stable ROM, the update software throws the following error: Error [220] mains battery power. So the software I believe is reading that the battery is less than 50% (ie. probabaly thinks there is 0 charge left) and I can't reinstall a new ROM!!
The other thing to note is that I can get into bootloader mode with the mains power cable, but as soon as I try to switch over to the USB cable, the phone resets and it again gets locked into the perpetual reset cycle.
Please help me!! Any ideas are appreciated.
Gavin.

Hi,

Seems like a similar problem. He solved it by replacing the battery. Is it possbile to destroy a battery while flashing a ROM?

Wow 40 views, and not a single idea?
Well I think I'm going to invest in a cradle, so that I can have both mains power and a usb connection, hopefully I'll be able to reflash with this. Anyone have expereince with this method? What is a good cradle?

Kaiser won't power up completely

I installed the Diamond Series L26 ROM and ran it fine for about 4 days. Then with no reason I can find windows started to respond badly and the screen didn't build up like it should.
I did a soft reset and after the phone came up. But after I entered my pincode the windows pretty quick gave a battery warning and went dead again. While I was pretty sure I had enough battery.
So at home I pluged it in (wall socket, original charger), the amber light went on. I booted it again and still no go. So I left it pluged in and waited a while it was 'charging'. But it still didn't react when I wanted to turn it on.
When I removed it from the charger and turned it on it booted again with the same result as the first time. I checked two text messages and the battery warning came again, and the phone turned itself off again.
After a couple of tries I tried a hard reset. No difference. Now my phone will boot until the message shows it is going to go back to factory settings, I hear a beep and it turns itself off.
I tried:
- Reinsert the battery (left it out overnight)
- Tried entirely different battery (fully charged)
- Plugged it in the original charger
- Plugged it in without the battery
- Took out SD card
- No SIM card inserted
- 'Powercharge' the battery with wires to the plus and minus contacts
- Rapidly pressing the battery against the contacts on the phone hoping to 'revive'something.
- Tried my battery in a different phone > it was fully charged.
Can it be the software thinking the battery is dead while it isn't?
...... help

Is a bump alowed the next day?
Anyway, is my problem that obscure...? Or is my post too long?
I don't want to know what T-mobile will ask for the repair without any waranty.

Nope. Just the L26 Kaiser Diamond ROM.

Sounds broken to me, try to send it back.

Yeah, but I know what happeneds next:
"We see you installed another ROM. Therefore voiding your warranty. That wil be EUR 300."
I am trying to avoid that scenario.
But perhaps I wasn't as techsavy as I thought. I read this in another post:
Steps before running the upgrade:
1. take out the battery to make the phone go off, unplug usb cord if you have it plugged to your pc.
2. put battery back in
3. Press and hold the camera button all the way in, then press the power button while still holding the camera button.
4. This will make your phone boot in to tri-color screen.
5. Now look at the bottom white area, when it says USB, connect your phone to your pc through usb cord.
6. Now you can just go ahead, open the rom you just downloaded and follow the steps.

That sounds like it is still an option for me as well. I was under the impression I wouldn't be able to reflash my phone because it wouldn't power up. I can try this, right?

hmm, maybe try that or flashing from the SD card. Either way go for broke, if you need to screw the phone up to the point that they can't tell what rom you have then go for it.

!!!! Please Help !!!! Tilt will not boot (stuck on striped screen)

I didn't flash my phone. At first it wasn't charging, now when I power it on i get the red, green, blue, white striped screen and it says serial at the bottom. Oh yeah, and it still isn't charging.

There is detailed info on how to fix this. FYI--it is always very helpful if you post the information you see on that screen, which is the boot loader screen. Is the device hard spl? What does the screen say?

sorry about that. the phone is completely dead now. My phone was never flashed, so it is running the default software.

Did you try charging your phone with the WALL CHARGER rather than USB TO PC ???
Was it a PRE-OWNED DEVCIE or BOUGHT UNLOCKED ON EBAY?
Try to get your battery charged first, troubleshooting does not make sense otherwise!

It is brand new, got it after my other tilt fell out of my window (don't ask). Is there anyway to charge the battery without the phone?

before the phone got stuck on the bootloader screen, it wouldn't charge the battery, eventhough when i went into the power settings it clearly said that the phone was charging

Did you get it from AT&T? If it is brand new, get a warranty exchange. It should work right out of the box.

I didn't just get the phone. I've had it for easily 4months now. Anyway to charge the battery without the phone?>

The obvious answer is that it is a defective battery, you need to try the phone with a new battery first.
Any re-flashing of roms to get out of bootloader must be done on a full charge.
I have never come across a stand alone battery charger.

Some cradles come with battery bays

There are cradles out there for the TyTN II which have a bay for charging the spare battery and they come with a power adapter - I know because I have one and it works well. Just google for TyTN II cradle. Mine was very cheap here in the UK and came with a spare battery as well (always usefull for a TyTN II owner).
Rather than jumping into automatic reflashing mode, once you've got a fully charged battery in it, try a hard reset using the stylus and buttons (as per the wiki here) first and let us know how you get on with that.

ok, i got my friends battery. tried hard reset, still getting the tri colored screen. screen has ruunbh in top right corner.
under that to the left is:
kais1*0
spl-3.02.0000
cpld-8
_ it also changes from serial to usb at the bottom as i plug and unplug the usb cable

Phone is working. just need a batter 50% full and reflashed it. thanks for the help guys.

Fxxking phone still will not charge.

Just but a cradle with a bay to charge a spare battery. Also, if you are charging via a wall charger, try using a USB to PC connection and see if its charging that way. It could just be a bad power supply. Try your friends charger. Im sure he will let ya borrow it for an hour or so.
Also, check to make sure you didnt somehow goof up the pins on your USB port on the phone. Many people here have made the mistake of putting the stylus in the wrong hole in the dark....maybe its possible you did the same ? If so it could be as simple as taking a safety pin or something and putting the pin back where it belongs.
Goodluck!

Ok!!!! Phone is back to the tri-colored screen and now my computer won't recognized the phone. But as i enter and remove the usb cable, it still switches from serial to usb.

Generally that means that you should be able to download a rom/radio combo and run the KaiserRUU. Go to HTC's website and download a new OS load for the tilt. Should fix ya up

how would this work if the computer doesn't recognize my phone?

Base drivers should be installed already on your computer ( activesync) . The RUU knows which com port to install through once USB is showing on the tilt...........

RUU = rom, right?

i keep getting connection error

[HELP] Flashing gone wrong???

It looks like that i bricked it.
Here is what I have done.
I used Hard SPL Utility and got it to say 0.72.Olinex
After that I used TouchIT 4.5 to flash it. it went through but after going through calibration it now keeps rebooting. Sony Ericson screen comes on. disapears and reboots.
Please anyone help

hard reset didnt work either

flash it with other rom and see. boot to tri color screen and start your flashing, computer can recognise it

I just want to tell you that flash hard-spl is something different then flash a rom...
Each one has his own software for flash...
So first is to hard-spl your xperia...
And then i recommend you to flash the rom phone via the microSD
Just rename the touch-it 4.5 to KOVSIM.nbh and put it to the root of the MicroSD..Then restart your phone with Volume down and power button together...And then follow on screen instructions
Note maybe you should try to read this thread, study a little and then flash.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801
Good luck....

well I have used the one inlucded in X1_HardSPL_Utility.zip from one of threats here.
then I used the Touch-IT_v4.5.rar
i even tried X1_RUU_ROM_UpdateUtility
dont know what I did wrong.
now it doesnt even power on.

Satrange i have like 10 times and no problem...
Just pull the battery out try it on again...
Maybe you should download and official rom...or original are the same
The ones ins PavelX1 thread...
And Flash with ones of them via MicroSd...
MicroSd method is much safe than rom update utility...Remember to have at least 50% battery....This is very important..
Dont worry you phone is not broken...

try flashing using SD card, search the forum for the method
edit : too late for the reply, hope you get it working.

Try booting to tri-color boot screen (decrease volume button + power on button)

thing is it doesnt power on now
removed battery, put it on power only nothing.

It won't boot without the battery no matter what you try.
Leave the phone on charge overnight then try flashing a new rom using the SD method.
Did you make sure you had a decent battery level (>50%) before you started flashing your rom??

it had 100% it flashed and I even calibrated the screen on reboot. but after that it started rebooting continuosly. I dont know if it juiced it out. well I will leave it on charge for some time to see if that helps.

Maybe try to recharged it?????
Mybe battery is empty
It may sound like a joke but charged the phone...?
Does it make something when you connected to the wall charger?
If so wait until it recharges about 4 hours and then try it again...
If it flashes then your xperia is not broken....
Some others users have this same issue with that rom...
So maybe try and official rom trust me flash it via microSD method always
Rename the official rom to KOVSIMG.nbh and the copy to the root of the microSD memory

shoudl something blink or is there is indicator if it is charging when plugged in the wall charger?

yes, the LED above the USB connector on your mobile should be blinking.
if the battery went flat completely, it will take some time to start blinking.

It shouldt blink on sides or it shouldt turn red the power button ...

Not sure... might dep the rom.
Normally my led's flash/glow... but I haven't had a look at it charging whilst the phone is off.
Charge it for half an hour or so and then try to get the boot loader up (hold power and volume down to turn on).
If the boot loader (striped screen) starts you should be able to fix a bad flash.
Turn the phone off and charge it overnight
get a rom you know (the .nbh or .image file) and rename it "Kovsimg.nbh"
put the Kovsimg.nbh file on the root directory of your storage card (you might want to take the card out of your phone and put it in a card reader to do this)
boot your phone in boot loader mode (hold power and volume down)
follow the prompts to install the good rom.
After its complete, reset your phone (either by putting your stylus in the reboot hole or taking the battery out)
All should be good

well 30 mins and no flashing lights, power button doesnt work. connecting to PC doesnt work. I am out of ideas.
