Have I killed my Compact II? - MDA Compact II Software Upgrading

Hi Folks,
I've tried to update my Compact II to the AKU 3.3 - but it failed. Now I try to put it back to the old ROM - but: I've probably killed my bootloader ...
Because: When I try to connect the Charmer via USB it turns on and off, and on and off etc. etc. So that the ROM-Upgrade tells me, the device is not connected.
I can see the Three-Color-Screen, also "USB" turns on when I connect the Charmer via USB but then (see above)
So, Charmer = R.I.P?
Cheers,
Sven

maybe low battery. connect it to charger. I had the same problem and I resolved it this way. the light don´t turn on, but the charmer is charging.

Thanks ...
... that worked out, mestre. Just got the charmer more power and, yes, it`s alive again.

charmer dead...

flashed charmer with wizard...an now its totally dead...cant enter boot....anyone can help...
dead - can you describe it better? is it freezing in the splashscreen? or not powering on completely? have you tried to charge it using normal charger, not usb sync cable?
what about bootloader, dead too? try to hold camera button and press reset. if three color bars appears, you have a reason to stay calm.

complitely dead...not powering...cant enter boot...
hmm, it looks bad. I don't have any valuable ideas...but:
maybe you may try to charge battery in another charmer. When I bought my one, directly after unpacking the box, it wasnť able to start. I was angry, but then ve have tried to charge the battery in my friend's charmer and it worked (the battery was not completely discharged, but maybe some electronics inside was somehow blocked)
otherwise, you can try to diagnose electric circuits inside - but do it carefully, you may easily damage it!
speaker charmer
it has production defect. the HTC has knowledge of this... and is about one reparation in warranty. [[]]

I have a problem with my mda compact II and it was almost like describe.
after i tried to upgrade my pda, the update went to the end and finished successfully, the pda doesn't turn on, it shows the t-mobile image and then goes off, if i press camera button and turn on button i can see the tree colors, but what should i do now?
help me please.
use official t-mobile rom (in t mobile official page, difficult to find, get the link from the XDA-Wiki).
1. put your charmer into the 3 colour screen mode
2. kill your activesync in your PC (or just disable USB link)
3. run the EXE of the offical ROM
Do it before your battery went dead.

try leaving it off with the battery in and plugged in for about an hour to see if you can get a charge, otherwise use another battery that is fully charged. Only other way is to use a SD backup which you can then install with the power cable plugged in.
also you do not need an activesync link to install ruu rom packages. also long as your in bootloader with usb showing in the corner, the ruu will be able to find it.

PLZ help
You can buy an adapter for charmer in which you can insert USB cable, power cord and headphones jack.
can you please recommend what it is called as search for MDA COMPACT 2 USB cable, power cord and headphones jack on ebay doesnot come up with any thing.
Cheers

HI, I have the same problem, and even with the battery been on charge for a full day, as soon as a try the updates it comes back saying there is under 50% charge. When I try in the sync holder with power as soon as the USB is connected it powers off.

dead i-mate k-jam

hi to all, I've got a big problem with my wizard. after i installed the italian mamelli 2.0 ROM, during the customization process (the ROM upgrading ended successfully after a few tries) my wizard suddenly turned off and it doesn't turn on anymore. no vital sign is shown, even if i try to charge it no led turns on. first i thought that the battery could be discharged and so now i connected it with 2 cables to a 9V battery (as i was reading in another similar thread) and I'm planning to let it charge like this for a few hours. if it doesn't work is there anything else i can do? i think it's not a brick, i bricked it twice before and i have always unbricked it after a few tries but this time is different. it doesn't even turn on in the 3 colors mode. what could I do?
isn't there anybody who can help me?
Try to downgrade......
how could i downgrade it if it doesn't even turn on?
have you tried jtag?
Try Dwngrade
you can download the original ROM from i-mate ftp site....
maybe I didn't explain myself, the device doesn't even turn on, it's completely dead. the computer doesn't recognize it because it's turned off and it can't be turned on. no vital signs... i tried even to download and flash the original ROM but the flashing tool says that no device is connected, and he's right, the device is dead and doesn't turn on.

Persistant Tri Color Screen

Hi all,
I had posted this in the noob section first but got no response
To clear things up, I HAVE searched the forums for this issue & i did find the Topics However it seems whichever solution i try doesn't work.
The Problem: My Sex1i always loads the tricolor screen where it says no image file found.
The only way i get it to load the Win OS is if i either plug in the usb cable or any electric charger cable be it my car charger or wall socket.
Here's what i have tried to resolve it.
1. I have performed a hardSPL following the instructions on this forum.
2. I then update my ROM to the [100% CLEAN WM6.5][2010-01-12] Xperia UnOff Series - Infinite & Xperia X1.5 found on this forum too
3. I have also update my Radio & my camera to the latest roms found on this forum too (Not that they related to the problem anyway)
4. I have tried turning off Active & connecting to MTTY.exe everthing goes as instructed BUT when i connect to MTTY.exe i get a command prompt-like Named [CLIENT] & no matter what i type it just keeps repeating [CLIENT].
So i honestly need assistance with the MTTY.exe program cuz i cant proceed from there.
5. I have tried Soft & Hard Resetting My SeX1i but no joy
My Tricolor screen reads:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0LiNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
Please assist me in case i have missed out on anything.
Thanks in Advance

I just tried that out, No Joy
Mine also switches on as long as its plugged in to a PC or into the charger, However if i switch my SeX1 on without the cable I still get the tri-color screen
On thing to note though is whenever i plug my phone into a PC, I get the "USB Not Recognized" Balloon first but the storage card device does show up in My Computer

I have an idea, hard reset it while plugging the cable, it will solve the boot up problem
but.. now i can't charge the phone while phone on... i need to switch off the phone before charging...
This looks like same problem I have.
I was recharging my phone as normally, but as I was taking it off the charger after I thought it would be fully recharged, I noticed it hadn't loaded a bit.
I did soft-reset as I thought it would be WinMo glitch and after that it loaded only tri-colour screen. I resetted the phone about 10 times and removed battery and kept resetting. No help.
I had battery out for about 2-3 hours and after that it started normally, but now I had serious problem, it wouldn't recharge battery. I turned off phone and plugged it to charger, I saw that lights started to blink at side and saw that it would recharge normally, and left it for the night.
Morning it had fully recharged. I thought it would be ok at that moment..
Next day I plugged phone to charger again and it did not recharge again.
I started to test chargers for faulty. It wouldn't load from any of my chargers, tested from my computer that was off at time. Tested every USB plug that i could find. Nothing.
My MP3 player charged from every plug and charger, but phone did nothing. I turned on my computer, as Vista was started, I plugged phone and it started to charge! I unplugged it, plugged back, it still loaded.
But now ActiveSync started to bring up errors, saying it could not sync phone and it had problems at desktop(?). Changed phone from ActiveSync to Memorycard, it was acting normally and charging. I thought it was ActiveSync now that was glitching. Never changed it back and got that out of my mind, since I don't sync my phone with my Outlook or vice versa.
I went for a week or two charging my battery from my computer. Testing every once and while from charger, and only noticing it would not charge.
About 2 weeks ago I tested some custom roms from here, as I thought it would help my charging problem. Flashed new WM6.5 custom rom to it, did hard reset. But still it would not charge from charger, only computer.
Flashed back to stock. Next morning I took the phone to shop, where I bought it, for warranty repair, since I have had phone for only for 6 months.
They said it would take 1-3 weeks for repairs and gave me web-tracking code for it. I observed it daily.
Last week I noticed there: "Service delaying, sent for factoryrepair."
I think my phone has fried some chip.
Since then nothing has heard from there, still waiting. Hope they get it fixed fast, since I'm in trouble without my calender!
I wanted to share this all with you because I courage everybody having this problem to take it for repairs. I wouldn't believe they would send it to factoryrepair for having a minor problem.
P.S. sorry about so long text and for any misspelling, english is not my native language.
SE wants us change new phone :S mine is W37 from factory, just 1 year..
did someone solved this problem my sex1 also got this problem..i brought it to cell shop but they just took the usb port from the board itself and now i dont know what to do..the part is still not available..does anyone know the temporary solution i just want to use my phone till the parts arrive..thanks

[Q] BA not starting after unsuccessful flash

Hello,
I have tried to flash my BA from WM2003SE to WM6.x following the instructions in
http :// forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5456317&postcount=6 but it got hung on the very beginning of the flash process. My BA would got frozen in bootloader (USB/SERIAL and 2.06 on screen). As it was late night I decided to continue the next day, leaving the BA off craddle. In the morning, the screen was completely black and off (it had 100% of battery when I flashed it). I put the device into the cradle and plugged USB to my PC (Win XP) but no USB device appeared in the system, the BA screen is still off and black, the top right LED of BA is still on, red color (switches off when BA is off cradle).
I have tried soft reset, hard reset, several times, holded down the buttons for approx. 30sec while reseting, nothing helped. I have tried to charge the device for about three hours on the craddle, tried to reset again, but no success, the device would not come back to life (nor to the bootloader).
anybody has a suggestion?
thanks
Sileng
PS: Futile to say I have been through this forum to search if somebody had a similar problem.

When you the BA let into bootloader will the battery complete empty load it and follow my installation in the PDF's!!! You have Win7 right or Vista so you must replace the standard driver with the driver from PDF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: BA will load battery when LED is Red or Orange!
Hi d-two, thanks for your fast response. I am not sure if I understand it right though. You mean that it is just my batt that is empty, which obstructs the bootloader to star? By now it has been about 4 hours it is being charged (the red LED shining still, not flashing) and so far no way to bring it back to life. Do you think I should charge it for much longer or it is another problem?
thanks a lot, have a nice day
Sileng
Finally got it working after hours of trying. The key was just to keep repeating the flashing process and after several failures it finally worked. Now I have d-two's WM6.5 on my BA working as a charm. Thanks d-two! It is really impressive!

[Q] HTC TYTN II starts but only charges when shut off..HELP

Hi guys..
I have had my Tilt now for about 2months and recently tried downloading a 200Meg file off the web with it. It drained the power even though the charger was plugged in and so I was clever enough to fool around with chargers...Bleh.. Anyway, so what had happened is that after me switching the phone off etc. I tried charging again without downloading and when I plug the charger in, NOTHING happens..the green light flashes like normal, no light changes and no blips or notifications come up or anything. If I switch the phone off and then plug the charger in, the red light appears and stays there (and I presume it charges). So now I can´t find a fix..Seen MANY other threads regarding similar problems but 90% result in getting a replacement from the supplier which is not possible for me since I don't work off contract and neither is the warranty still valid and neither do I live even NEAR a HTC dealer. I've tried soft resets, hard resets, restarting phone with charger and battery in, without battery in etcetc. The battery is fine.
So it seems my last resort would be opening up the phone and looking if by luck I can see or measure something. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated
Brian
I have same problem, My HTC only charge when power off, No active sync... but i could up rom because in bootloader 3.56 only show USB without serieal . Yesterday i uprom ship end restore SPL. Then my HTC Kaiser can't uprom. It only sirieal when conect USB.
I think it cause by software without hardware. So everyone help us...help me too
Yeah, mine doens't get recognised by my computer at all. Which means no backups or syncs somehow I think my friend's broken TYTN II is gonna come in handy...hmm....
And just for more info, I am as I'm speaking, charging my phone (with it being off) and the red light has been on around an hour long.. Gonna see if it goes off or changes.. Will report back once something happens
Brian
Edit: I just switched my phone on (after around 2 hours charging with it being shut down) even though the light was still red, battery is now 100%.. so.. I'm now downloading the next 200meg file and another 39 files to go
Update: Just something weird.. The tilt was charging(in its shut down mode) and then suddenly switched on by itself.............. uhm..yeah.. so once it came on, i looked and everything was still the same.. pulled out the charger, switched off, put charger back in(cause the battery was about 30%) and boom, green light and switches on again bleh.. so now I fiddled with the battery and charger, and got it to charge in its off state again with the red LED.

I thiink, it can "fix in booting safe mode". But I can set it to safe mode
You can try it, follow step in the link, then re tell to me!
every oen, who can help us?!
hey, I took a look there and I tried those things but it didn't work. Apparently there is no "Safe mode" for these phones unless you have a third-party software. So just to confirm, I took a look through the user manual and found nothing, Googled "HTC TyTN II Safe Mode" and found random stuff but not much related besides third-party Apps. So then I just tried randomly fooling around with my TyTN II by holding and pressing random sets of keys while pressing the soft reset button. No luck.
