Help please guys...
I am recovering from uploading a ROM not intended for my MDA Compact II. I have managed to get it to boot while plugged into the mains but it won't work off the battery (that works!).
I have a bluetooth Activesync connection to my laptop but when I try to replace the ROM using the T-Mobile update version it says that the battery on my phone is under 50%.
Is there a way to force the update? Link to thread will be fine.
Thanks
Andy
P.S. UK version of ROM.
Command line based ROM upload?
OK, so I've found the awizard utility and have read up and extracted the nbf into it's parts. I need some help getting the parts through nb2nbf (i.e. memory addresses?) so I have some good files to push onto the MDA.
Can someone provide a little help, the phone is now working when plugged into the mains but it doesn't charge the battery so I can't get it over 50% to allow a normal shipped ROM install.
SD card IPL/SPL restore?
Someone must have an idea!

i had once a Wizard that wouldn't pass boot and wouldn't charge. After a few unsuccessful rom installations the battery almost died and i could not proceed. So i turned the phone off and it started charging I guess that while in bootloader the charging circuit wasn't accessible but when in "play dead" state it would work.
good luck
Fingers crossed you might just be right
No joy, green light comes up with the phone off but when booted up it reports the battery as being dead. It still doesn't work off the wall charger either.
Any ideas to cheat the phone into thinking it's charged to fix the problem?
if you perform the rom update package while the phone is in the bootloader it will bypass the battery check but you can only do this over a usb connection.

the problem is when the battery check is bypassed but there isn't enough power to complete the setup
I have an XDA Orbit coming next week as my work phone. Is it going to use the same battery?
If so then I should be able to get bootloader will using a charged battery from the XDA, or my phones battery charged in the XDA, so that would be good news
If not I still need to find a way to charge the battery. Best bet is another MDA II user I suppose.
Hi, I have the same problem, did you find a answer ?
HI,
I have the same probem that you had, did you find a by pass or fix for the battery problem ?
Thanks

Afraid not here, I have the phone in my hand. It's not been used in months
Anyone??
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.
Mines got the same probem !!
HI mines got the same problem, did you find a fix ?
Cheers
TBW
you can see 117 click on it but no one has the answer i think
phone's a paperweight.

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 ?
can someone outhtere hack the T Mobile upgrade so it doesent check for the battery content ?
Cheers

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.
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
Since i've had the hard spl done for my x1 , I've noticed the following :
- phone indicate thet it's charging while plugged to either usb or AC , but it doesn't actually charge. ( light's flash , and the icon in the top of screen shows it's plugged in )
-I've removed re- insterted the battery , but nothing changes
- i've checked/unchecked the USB charging , in the power options and nothing happens for both the usb and the AC . "ie. indicates charging while not"
- battery charges normally on an external charger , and changing the battery didn't fix the problem .
-tried to hard-spl again while the charger is on , but again didn't fix it
-tried multiple caples , and two different AC chargers
_____ to cut this short , i just wanted to ask , if the hard spl could have caused this ( i mean could it be a software thing) , and if it is a software thing would returning to the stock spl fix the problem ( i know that the hardspl is write protected thought ) .
and sorry but one more question, is there a way to indicate weither the problem is a software or a hardware problem ... Hope that you can help guys , as taking the battery in and out sucks , it is a small matter but you won't feel it unless you try it , it SUCKS
by the way the phone will not charge while turned off aswell

When you say external charger, do you mean a charger seperate from the X1 itself? Just needed clearification.
What Hard SPL did you use and do you have a X1a or X1i?
What i meant by an external charger is " a charger that charges the battery seperatlly , you remove the battery out of the phone and place it in the charger " ( hope you get what i mean )
my phone is X1i
I've used Olinex X1_HardSPL_v1
Hope that this helps , lemme know if you need to know anything else , my exams are too soon , and i'm so pissed off , the problem is that i've bought this phone somewhere in the middle east ( where i used to live ) , and i'm currently in ireland ( they didn't even start selling the phone here ) so if i can't fix it , no one can .
Could it be something to do with the battery driver ! .. but if that was the case " how do ppc charge while turned off !!"
1 try usb charge
2 get phone serviced
The usb charge didn't work .. and as i mentioned above i can't get the phone serviced here in ireland since the phone didn't arrive yet , I won't head back to the middle east untill may/june .. I willing to even donate to whoever get me through this thing .. I know that there is someone out there who's able to find a solution ... yet still waiting for that someone
seems that your recharge circuit is broken... maybe a coincidence with hardspl procedure, I never seen hardspl damaging a phone this way
just in case, did you tried to reflash your original spl?
nevered backed-up my orginal spl ... software wize, all that i've done , is doing the hard spl with the ruusigned_072stockspl fil .. in an attempt to get things back to normal ( doesn't make sence though ) . flashed with multiple roms ( UK, US , TW , Touch , jacks and others ) .. what do you recommend ?
I just noticed the same problem.
Wall charger works, but when connected to computer with usb, it won't charge. The charging icon blinks in the upper right corner, but no charging.
Just flash the hard-spl, and a cooked ROM.
Any idea?
Hardware or software problem?
X1a from Rogers.

I have charging issue to! When in charge i get sometimes (more oftent than i like) standby screen of death. What should i do?

I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
I had the same thing..my phone would not charge in any way...but a few days later..it kinda fixed itself...
hmmm strange i had it too...
left phone charging over night and when i woke up phone was dead?
when i plugged it in it had the red led lit on the power button
luckily after 30 mins of charging via wall charger phone booted up again...
now i'm realising how slow USB charging is...
but phone has somehow fixed itself? havent had issues since...
I have searched the Internet and forums for days and can't find a solution to my problem. I have found a few with the same problem, but no solutions. Please help!
I have a Sprint HTC Touch Diamond 6950SP (DIAM500) running the original ROM. A few months ago and for no apparent reason, it stopped recognizing the battery and stopped accepting a charge. I haven't messed with the phone in any way or attempted to load a new ROM. The Power Status screen simply shows, "Main battery: Unknown". Plugging the phone in with the supplied charger will actually discharge the battery and the circular LED does not come on. I tried several soft and hard resets; then I downloaded and flashed the ROM with the one from the Sprint web site (WM 6.1 Professional 5.2.20764/Build 20764.1.4.3), but nothing seemed to help. I found that I could get the battery to charge by removing the battery (with the phone plugged into the charger) and then putting it back in. When the circular LED flashes twice, I remove the battery and wait till it flashes two more times, and then put the battery back in. This takes many attempts, and eventually the LED continues to flash and will charge the battery. I did this for a long time while I searched for a solution, and one day, it just started working again!!! The phone worked great for several months and suddenly, it has started doing the same thing again.
I decided to upgrade to WM 6.5 and downloaded all the necessary applications, (many thanks to XDA and friends). But, when I attempted to flash my ROM, it stopped and indicated that my battery was too weak - even though I new it had a full charge, (see battery status, above). I've checked the battery with a multimeter, therefore, I know it has a full charge. I don't have any other problems with the phone, nor do I have any problems with it sincing to my computer. I have since ordered a new battery, but it hasn't arrived yet. Someone please help.
Thanks.
I have read at other posts that the Diamond's battery has a recognition chip in it. Also, without the battery, it will not run from the charger. Could the chip in the battery be bad? Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there a registry fix (or tweak) for the battery status? Please, one of you must know something about this.
Got my new battery - the phone does not power up, charge or anything else with the new battery. I tried charging the new battery with the method I've tried before, (see above), but it won't even light the circular LED. I checked the new battery with a multimeter, and it shows it has 3.7 volts. Now what? Any ideas would be appreciated.
that happened to me for a little while. idont know what it was but it wouldnt charge using the usb cable to any computer or even the a/c adapter but it would charge with another wall charger i had. after a couple days a friend had his psp over and i charged my phone with his cable on my computer like nothing and after wards it all worked again
Thank you so much for your reply!!!

I have tried other cables and chargers, but none have helped. Last time my phone started working properly, I had plugged it in to my computer, but that hasn't happened this time. Thanx for your comments - keep 'em coming.
I purchased a new charger/docking station for my phone and spare battery. It wouldn't charge my phone or the new battery I purchased either. The new battery still will not work in my phone - paper weight! The charger does charge my old battery, though. Does anyone know if you can run a Touch Diamond from the USB/charging cable without the battery installed? Mine won't, but I was wondering if it should.
Hey man
you know that happend to me when i first flashed my diamond for metro i bought a new battery and nuthing changed so what i did was a hard reset and it fixed it for me but i dont know thats just me and if u want to try it make sure u back up ur contacts with PIM backup hope u fixe it

Thanks, Krzynate! I tried that already, many times now, (see my first post in this thread). Thanks anyway and please keep the posts coming.
I had the same problem.. I ended up buying a new battery and it wouldn't charge in my phone. So I ordered an external charger from EBAY for 10$. My new battery is charging so It might be the solution you are looking for.
Thank you so much for posting! As I wrote previously,
(I purchased a new charger/docking station for my phone and spare battery. It wouldn't charge my phone or the new battery I purchased either. The new battery still will not work in my phone - paper weight! The charger does charge my old battery, though.), this did not fix my problem. The vender that sold me the new (bad) battery is sending me another one - hopefully, it will work this time.
It's Fixed!!!
I wrote the Internet store where I purchased the non-working battery. They sent me another battery and now it's fixed!!! The battery indicator and status all recognize the new battery! Apparently, there is a recognition chip in the battery; the original battery's chip's software became corrupted, and the other "new" battery's chip was blank. The original battery still works, (as long as I charge it with the external charger), and still has an unrecognized status in WM 6.1. Please pass this info on to others that have simular problems. Thanx XDA!
