HELP needed changing ROM after installing Molski (2.26.10.2) AKU2.3 ROM

Hi there,
After I installed Molski's 2.26.10.2 AKU2.3 ROM I can't seem to upgrade/downgrade to another ROM. After starting the update utility my screen went black, the update tool stalled at 0% with error [260] UPDATE ERROR and the only way to reset was to remove the battery.
My specs right now are:
T-Mobile Vario G3 (G3 yes!) Wizard
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.47.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I tried getting into the bootloader by pressing and holding either one or both of the righthand buttons and a soft reset, but then the screen goes blank (black) as well with the removal of the battery as only option.
I also tried to install button's 1/05 ROM without succes (same 260 error).
I also reinstalled Windows XP + MS ActiveSync 4.1 just to rule that part out, but even then no luck!!
I flashed my PDA on several occassions using different ROMS each time, but this is the first time it doesn't work . Perhaps something to do with the bootloader?
Any help would really be appreciated!
Best regards,
Dennis

You shouldn't go back to the 1.05 unless you need to downgrade your IPL/SPL for some reason or another...
I'd try the T-Mobile 2.26. (That's what I do when changing ROM's, because when I see the T-Mobile splash I KNOW that all parts of the previous ROM are gone.)
Always works for me, YMMV though ...

My charmer is Bricked, please help

I have a T-Mobile Compact II which has turned into a brick.
I Flashed the ROM with the HTC Touch ROM which run perfectly, no problems at all. Then i found a newer version of the same software, which Flashed the ROM (no problems encountered on the PC Screen) but when i come to hard reset the device it sticks at boot screen with the following
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.06.0000
GSM 02.19.21
OS 6.0.0.0
and will not go any further
I have tried the boot load (powering up with camera button pressed)
and get the following
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.06
USB
On the 3 colour screen.
i know the PC sees the device but cant get any communication to or from the device with active sync
Any ideas how to restore this fault.
Thanks Steve

Sorted
i have sorted my problem out. It turns out that i could not repair through a PC running Vista. Sorted on a XP machine

Bricked My Mda Compact 2
Last night I flashed my MDA Compact II with a ROM in this forum. It's from the thread: Tuning ROM 2.6.2.27 MDA CHARMER(MDA COMPACT II). The ROM update seemed to go okay, but now the Charmer won't boot. All I get is the splash screen, which says:
IPL 1.12
SPL 1.12.0000
OS 2.6.2.27
the i was told by a senior menber to flash it with BUTTON 1.05 (which i did)
and now BATTERY IS NOT CHARGING
and now i have
ipl 1.01
spl 1.12.000
gsm 01.12.10
os 1.5.4.2
NOW I HAVE REALISED THAT I HAVE USED ALL WIZARD FILES ON CHARMER WHICH IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF ABOVE MESS.
i have checked usb cable , main power charger with other pda and it was working ok , i have charged my battery on external charger.
MDA compact is not recognizes if battery
can it be a problem with registry ?
PLZ HELP

Dead Charmer... maybe

Hi all,
I tried to upgrade my MDA compact II (HTC Charmer) to WM6, but during the first step, downgrading to the "no vendor" version I made a mistake. A used a wrong version, it was for Prophet. After the final reboot, the device froze in the splashscreen "T-Mobile". After that I tried to do exactly the same with a "Charmer" version, but it didn't help me, the situation was the same.
However, now I'm able to flash successfully only the last vendor provided ROM update "RUU_Compact_ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe", but it doesn't help me anyway, my Charmer is still freezing in the splashscreen. I tried to downgrade it , but the application gives the following error: "UPGRADE ONLY". When I try to make a hard-reset, and after that to confirm the factory settings by pressing "Yes" (green) button, the result is "Format FAT partition" and then "format is failed".
Only the bootloader is working now as well as the battery charging. Please, help me to turn back to the life my Charmer!
And one additional question: can I perform a CID unlocking just by ROM-flashing or the device must be fully operable?

Flash this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
After that, you should be able to make hard reset. If you succeed, flash "RUU_Compact_ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe" - that.

Hello there,
I am a new use an recently got an MDA PM200. I am in exactly the same situation as petrun. I have tried the flash suggested by vlodeck but it doesn't work, saying incorrect vendor ID (I guess that's because it's for a Prophet?).
What should I do next...?
Thanks.

OK, I succeed with a little progress. Many thanks to vlodeck, I will try to explain what happend...
I successfully flashed my Charmer with this Prophet ROM:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Full link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
But it was possible only by using this "No ID" update application, not original one, maybe because my device is still locked:
Full link:
http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
After that I succeed to format the FAT partition (finally ). But I cannot after all to flash the latest official MDA compact II firmware. There is two possible events, which I experienced:
1. When I try to use the original flashing application, I get the following response: "UPGRADE ONLY".
2. When I try to flash the official MDA compact II ROM, but through the "No ID" application, I get "INVALID COMMAND".
Just for explication, now my device cannot boot, it freezes in the splashscreen (it is Qtek now, not T_Mobile...) and the following versions could be read:
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.20.0000
GSM 02.47.21
OS 2.20.7.34
So, how I can do that? What should I do further? I would like to unlock my Charmer, but should I firstly make it operable?
Thanks in advance for your help, guys!

By the way, all described above I tried sevetal times with the same result.
The other thing is that... all links about the CID unlocking downloads, which I found here are no longer active. Any alternatives?

Rise from the dead!
Incredibly, but it's a fact! After successfull FAT formating I probably didn't wait long enough. Today I turned on my Charmer and several seconds after the splashscreen "QTEK" it successffully booted in WM5, performed all settings and finally started to work!
It's GSM module works, the Bluetooth works, I am able to start different applications. Just the camera does not work. And the most strange thing for me is that this ROM was for Prophet, not for Charmer
So, after all, how to proceed to upgrade to WM6? Now the bootloader is above ver.2.
Should I firstly flash it with proper ROM (for Charmer) or it's not necessary?
Should I unlock it as is now (Prophet ROM)?
Vlodeck, I rely mostly on you, since the WM6 with Touch FLO is your creation.
Thanks!

You dont have to CID unlock. Just flash that WWE T-mobile WM5 AKU2 for Charmer. Good luck.

Maybe I am boring, but steel need an advice: I cannot flash "WWE T-mobile WM5 AKU2".
1. The original RUU gives me "UPGRADE ONLY", maybe because my SPL after flashing the Prophet ROM is 2.20
2. This "NO ID RUU":
http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
reaches 2% and gives "INVALID COMMAND", after that - only bootloader screen.
3. This "NO ID RUU":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42657&d=1183226200
cannot open the nk.nbf image (but works with other images), I don't know why.
What is the solution? Any ideas? Maybe some tool to downgrade the SPL to ver.1? I tried (it perhaps was bad idea)"RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship" and IPL became 1.12, but SPL remained 2.20... and Charmer didn't boot after that. After flashing the Prophet ROM it works again and IPL is 1.12, SPL is 2.20
In brief... how to flash successfully the last Charmer ROM?

If you cant flash the AKU 2 charmer rom, then go for AKU3.3 rom (can be german, that doesnt matter). Once done that, flash wm6.

Success
Yeah! Thanks to vlodeck now everitging is all right! I flashed the original German AKU3.3 ROM by using this RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42657&d=1183226200
(The original one gives "INVALID VENDER ID", of course, in German ) After that - successfully upgrade to WM6 TouchFLO.
Briefly:
1. First try to flashing WM6 - crash! The reason: old bootloader version (IPL/SPL = 1.12).
2. Flashing the Prophet ROM - success for FAT formatting. The Charmer turned back to life.
3. Flashing the German AKU3.3 ROM from T-Mobile, but through the No ID RUU.
4. Upgrade to WM6 TouchFLO by vlodeck. At the begining I reached the same problem, as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331717
but after istalling cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab in my device I succeed to finish the process.
Thanks vlodeck, good job! This ROM is really amazing!

PLZ DEAR SIR WHAT IS SOLUTION OF MY MDA C2
MDA2 CANNOT CONNECT WITH ACTIVE SYNC

Of course it cannot connect with ActiveSync, the device doesn't boot. One certain solution for bricked Charmer is Prophet ROM:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Use this link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
In order to flash this, you should enter the bootloader, without using the ActiveSync. After that try to perform a hard reset, you probably will succeed to format the FAT partition.

if you cannot connect the pda to pc HOW CAN U PUT THE ABOVE PROPHET RUU ON CUREENT?

I have a charmer and I was trying to update to wm6. I can´t because the ipl is 1.12. I updated rom to german aku 3.3. But I can´t hard reset. format error. I´m trying to put prophet rom to format it, but when I send the prophet rom, it always give me an error at 95%. error 326 - this nbf file cannot be used fo your pda phone. please check your nbf file. the aku3.3 rom flashes ok. any idea?? I try tu send a radio rom. after that is the same. 95%error. please help. I can´t bring my charmerback to life.

Hello together,
I have the same problem like _mestre_.
I updated from T-Mobile AKU 3.3 GER to WM6 and flashed back to WM5 without problems, but when flashing again to WM6 from vlodeck my charmer didn't boot anymore and had that "Format is failed"-problem when making a hard reset. I could not recover my device until now with the method explained in this thread cause of the problems "error 326 - This nbf file cannot be used for your pda phone". So the Prophet Rom does not seem to work with boot loader 3.x. Has anyone any idea? Please help! Thank you very much in advance!

Is my phone already dead? Please help me!
Hi, I have a similar may be the same problem!
My phone is a German t-mobile mda compact 2
First I work with “lokiwiz v.02” to unlock the SIM, and it works really well.
Then I installed “Charmer_Touch_ver._2.1” and I could calibrate the screen, and after that Win Mobile 6 installed all the extra stuff automatically. After that the device made a reboot, but it stop at the t-mobile boot screen.
Because the bootload modus is still running, I installed the newest original t-mobile software “RUU_compactII_AKU3.3_38222_382117_026921R_TMO_DE_GER_Ship” but this also didn’t solve the problem.
Hard reset didn't work and always says "Format is
The Start screen shows me this information:
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08.0000
GSM 02.69.21
OS 3.8.2.22
Is my phone really dead or could someone tell me a trick to reactivate it?

I think noone have a solution for us. I tried to send commands to phone whith mtty. and I can´t send. I don´t know why. so f we cannot send commands the sd card method will not work too. the only olution is to jtag the charmer. but can´t find any pinout information. if anyone knows this informtion, please help.

How to fix a bad radio flash ? "no gsm" on boot

Hi, i've bough a p3600 on ebay.
The seller tell me the phone is out because he flash a bad radio version on the phone.
I try to upgrade some file. ( Rom OS, Radio, SPL,etc ...)
I try the splexploit...
BUT ... The phone already stay on startup. i can see HTC startup screen,the windows startup screen ...but never the today screen.
I try hard reset, htc official rom, cookeed rom,...but when i flash a rom with "gsm", the update freeze at 13%
I try with usb and with sdcard..same thing, already stay at 13% !
But if i flash hard spl, 100%, if i flash OS, 100%, just the radio freeze at 13%
Any idea please ?

update
after the boot, i've got a "no gsm" message near the radio version

other people got the same problem like me ...
God oli, help me please

I more or less had the same thing and solved it with the sc card flash page.

Hi, updating the radio to 1.56 crashed, now I have the No gsm message and doesn't boot, running mtty from bootloader with info2 command it says supercid but I can't update any official rom SPA, WWE, ITA... the error is "vender id invalid". I've tried the sd method but returns to bootloader .
Any help will be appreciated.

You should try SSPL : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293632
And if it doesn't work the Des' Crash-Proof SPL :
http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=66
and try to flash a radio rom again !

doesn't work
try again and again ...the phone block at 13% ( when the radio upgrade begin) ...
pfffff

I've the same problem and after several attempts without result I sent the phone to the workshop and they told me the problem is with the main board! (this cost almost the price of phone itself). Moreover, I've seen some where here that the problem could be caused by radio chip but I couldnt get the detail.
If you find a solution give me a tip.

i've test lot of thing.
I progress with mtty. but i've got a problem ..i can't downgrade the phone under SPL 1.05.
SPL 1.04 can "reset" the radio, or enter directly to the radio bootloader. With that, i can save my phone.
Try mmty (see the wiki => bootloader info) and with the mfg spl, you can try the method.

Guys,
I've got the same problem...
I've sim and cid unlocked my spv m700 some time ago, using wonderful software from pof. Everything went smooth.
Today I've decided to update radio rom to 1.38.00.11 to enable gps.
I've launched RUU, everything was ok till 44%, when I've got message "Communication error".
After that program tried to recover rom without success, I've got another message "Image corrupted"...
I've tried to reboot my spv (both SR and HR), after rebooting I see:
M 05
B 05 D 1.23
then those symbols disappear and I see only Orange logo.
That's it... The end...
Should I reload radio rom or both rom and radio rom to my DEAD spv? If yes - how?
Please help as I'm very disappointed, frustrated and so on!
Thank you!
Update: A-A-A!!! I did it! I revived my spv! Let me explain how (I'm kinda new to all this rom and and ssl things, so forgive me for mistakes, if there are any):
1 I ran unbrick software. Yesterday it did not work (said, that could not find smth), but today it worked fine.
2 I ran RUU and BINGO! That's it!
BTW, I have vista, but it still worked (I think, thanks to Windows Mobile Device Center, which I have installed).
Also, I killed wmd process in Task manager in the beginning (have read this recommendation somewhere).
Thanks to everybody for their help!

nyco,
could you please explain briefly what you did exactly and which radio and rom you used
thanks and regards

Flash HSPL, then issue task 2A command from mtty. Flash full ROM.

Thanks stepw...
when I hit task 2A nothing happens.
Original ROM doesnt respond. I flash with cooked ones. Result 100% successful. I restart the phone- hang at boot screen.

Hi,
I'm already under the hard SPL. and "task 2A" not working.
Macars, try only with radio ripped or full original rom (from htc or cooked with radio) because some cooked rom have only OS.
Can you tell me what SPL you have?
Hard SPL?
Have you try splxploit ?
Can you tell me what rom you try oviplokos1 ?

thanks,
it shows SPL 9.99 and with this I cannot flash anything so what I do is to update with splxploit and then the phone changes to SPL 1.2 olipro. With 1.2 I can only flash coocked ROM and will go until the end 100% successful- (original ROM the phone does not respond), but when restarts with newly loaded cooked ROM the phone hangs at window login screen and when put it in bootloader the SPL 9.99 returns again.... the story goes on like this.
I'm becoming mad....

hi,
you can only flash cooked rom because the rom you flash contains only OS. When you flash HTC rom, the rom contains os+radio+spl+....other thing ...
Try this method to downgrade your SPL (9.99) to oli 3.20 :
1°) run splxploit
2°)when the phone reboot on the spl 1.20 oli, run HardSPL 3.20 olipro. (search on the wiki or the trinity forum
3°)upgrade to 3.20 oli ...
Now, when you go to the bootloader, you can see SPL 3.20 oli.
Try reflashing a radio only (see the upgrading topic, you will see radio 1.56.xxxx)
Tell me if this method work.
When i'm on spl 3.20 oli, i can load radio rom to 0%
when I downgrade my phone to spl 1.05, and i can run the upgrading to 7% (best score )
To downgrade to SPL 1.05:
edit the "unbrick.bat" on the splxploit folder.
Replace TRIN_HardSPL.nb to TRIN_SPL105.nb
try to find SPL 1.04. I'm sure if i got the spl 1.04 i can revive the phone

Did exactly as you said final result:
When i'm on spl 3.20 oli, i can load radio rom to 0% (and stays there )

hi,
ok, try to load spl 1.05 with splxploit, and when it is load, run radio upgrade (1.56.xxxx)
Try to find spl 1.04 and mtty it can be reset the radio bootloader
if you find 1.04, give me it

hi nyco,
I tried with SPL 1.05 the result is the same as your reaches 7% and restarts. I'm still trying to find SPL 1.04 I found one for Hermes I tried but didnt work failed.
