Major Problem...

My system locked whilst flashing the CE rom.....
now i have a completely dead pda.. how do i recover from this?
:shock:

nobody ? any ideas at all? or is my xda going back under warranty?
help!!

reboot
If you reboot your pc, and leave the BA in the cradle, and then just execute the updater (romflasher) again, it works fine!

the BA just sits there.. no lights.. no nothing.
if you remove and reseat in the cradel you get the briefest flash of red on the right hand light. then nothing. screen is blank. hard or soft reset do nothing?
pc just says it cannot find pda when you try to update?

i assume its screwed then.

not nessaserily, try to get into bootloader mode....... i think its power button, camera button and soft reset button, tho someone please correct me if im wrong, if you can get into bootloader, then your device is ok, i aint sure how to get out of bootloader after this, but this happened to me when i tried to install windows mobile 2005 on my BA, lol, before i knew it didnt work, obviously, lol, if you open up active sync, click on file and connection settings, untick, allow usb connection, and try to do the upgrade again, but first after you untick that box, and clicked ok, you need to do a hard reset then put it in the cradle. then after you try and upgrade again, this worked for me, try this and let us know if you still cannot do it.... 8)

I've flashed my XDA, XDAII and MDAIII many times. Ocassionally, something has gone wrong, but I've always been able to recover the situation. But I've just tried to reflashed 1.40 and the PC crashed at 55% and now I'm in the same boat as you. I've tried all the tricks and it is completely dead. Fortunately a new one arrives in the morning.
I think you'll also have to swap your phone. If it won't go into bootloader, it's dead.

thing is, i think the warranty is void if you play around with upgrading and screw up,
im always happy to help someone fix it, as i done it many times with my own, and fixed other pda's too...... 8)

wont go into bootloader mode..
8-(

U shdn't have removed it from cradle.....See if u get a sound in yr PC when u place your device in the cradle.If yes rthen it is detected...

FFelan,
Last ditch, pull the battery off, and allow the backup battery to fully drain. (60+ minutes). Then put the battery back in, and see if you can get it into boot loader mode using the manual method discribed above.

Restart / reboot problem

Hi,
I recently bought a X1 (second hand), and for several weeks it worked fine.
But the last week it keeps on restarting.
First i did a hard reset, then i installed hard-spl and flashed the phone with the newest Christian Rom (WM6.5). And still its rebooting.
Even when i'm not doing anything, it will reboot on it's own...
Not all the time, but approx 5 till 10 times a day.
Enough to get me crazy!
Please help.
I have searched the forum and found a few messages with the same problem, but no solutions.
TIA.
Roy

Maybe you should try out the MTTY tool? Search it a bit here and you'll find how to use it on the Xperia.. If that fails then I suppose its a hardware issue??

Thanks, but i can't figure out how this works.
Reading the forum, it looks like a tool for solving connecting and booting problems.
But thats not my problem...
The X1 simply reboots now and then. This mornig i installed the newest cristian clean rom, and it worked for a few hours. And then it restarted 5 times in a hour.
HELP! i don't know what to do.
TIA!

Yahh I've been getting this too recently, no idea why though as its been working fine the first few months with the touch x rom, haven't changed any software significantly in that time, but it will reboot seemingly randomly a couple times a day, but only when I'm not using it weirdly enough.
I'll try these suggestions and hopefully it may help.

Hi RedruM. I'm sorry to hear you have the same problem, but i'm glad i'm not alone in this anymore!
I found a stock rom yesterday and flashed it, and for allmost a day it worked fine.
But this mornig it restarted several times.
When i get home from work i will try the MTTY solution.
I hope you can figure out whats wrong. Please let me know.

Can't get mtty to work on my W7 computer...
any other idea's?
I have installed several roms, hard-spl'ed and stock-spl'ed...
Yesterday i had a good feeling with a stock rom from Vodafone and it worked!
Untill this morning... It began to restart again, and again and again...
Help?

:'(
Oke, got the mtty tool working on my XP laptop.
So i did this:
1 - Format memory card (fat32)
2 - Copy stock rom to card
3 - Do not insert card in phone yet
4 - Uncheck usb connect in Active sync
5 - Connect phone to pc
6 - Restart phone holding volume down and power button (tri collor screen)
7 - Start MTTY
8 - Get cmd prompt
9 - Type commands:
set 14 0
task 28 55aa
task 29
task 8
10 - Disconnect phone from pc
11 - Remove battery
12 - Insert memory card with rom
13 - Insert battery
14 - Restart phone holding volume down and power button (tri collor screen)
15 - Press power button to start update
16 - Wait for Update Complete - UPDATE SUCCESS
17 - Remove battery
18 - Remove meory card
19 - Insert battery and restart phone
20 - OS is installing
So far so good.
First thing my X1 does when customizing is..... RESTARTING!
What am i doing wrong?

Looks like the problem gets worse...
Multiple restarts in short time.
Rom doesn't matter... Stock or custom, it will restart.
Also the SPL doesn't matter. Hard-SPL or Stock-SPL, restarting...
Is there anybody out there who had the same problem and solved it?
Any help would be great!!!
Thanks!

restart continuous my diamond 2

please help Phone after installing the new ROM to be reset constantly

I just (as in this morning) had the same problem. Try turning the phone off, and removing the SD card. Then reboot the phone.
In my case, this allowed the phone to finish booting. I still do not know why it worked, but it did.
Hope this helps.

Need to know;
What ROM did you install, are you HSPL'd and if so, what level? 2.51?
Were you stock before?
Sounds like a bad flash.

HELP! my HD7 resets itself to factory defaults and loosing everything

hay guys,
i bought my hd7 afew months ago and have had this happen afew times now and its really starting to annoy me.
so the phone just restarts itself and gets stuck on the HTC screen on bootup, then sometimes it will continue but will goto the startup pages as if this if the first time i have used the phone. if it doesnt continue i will have to remove the battery and leave it for abit then try again.
the last time it happened i had to do a factory reset myself using the volume + button on bootup to get it to work again.
so, all in all. phone resets itself and almost like formats the phone removing all photos, and settings etc.

I can only think of 3 things :
Problems:
defective sdcard ( failing to read and write)
corrupted rom partition ( flash or zune upgrade process gone bad)
Failing hardware ( hardware parts are slowly dying)
Solutions
1) Try to flash the same rom again or another stock rom
2) replace sdcard
3) replace phone/ send for service
for the first 2 methods there are tutorials in these forums.
Follow them wisely and carefully
3rd solution is obvious
Take care.

I had the same problem, but after changing sim cards the problem seems to have sorted itself. I think it was the network. Can you try another sim and see if that is the problem? Hope this helps.

Totally stock phone now totally broken

I like my Sprint M8 and I've avoided messing with it because I'd hate if it got bricked. It got bricked. In my pocket. Somehow. Seriously, I was using it like normal, put it in my pocket for maybe a half hour, then took it back out without having even moved from my seat and it's off. I assumed it somehow died but when I plugged it in it became obvious that wasn't the issue. It doesn't really seem to care what I do with the buttons, but eventually it'll end up in fastboot mode and nothing else. Any of the options just result in a black screen. Sometimes I get a charging screen though. HELP.

Bump

Destiny oi? maybe you should have really messed with it lol.
But were you able to enter recovery? You could try factory reset from there

Only goes into fastboot. If I try to hit recovery or factory reset, or basically anything that goes outside of fastboot I just get a black screen. I just bought a new phone (Pixel) so it's not a big deal, but I still really like my M8 and if I can fix it I will.

I have run into that a few times with mine and Was ALWAYS able to fix it .
Its just being stubborn. If you have Fastboot you can FIX IT
Is it rooted and bootloader unlocked

It's totally stock and unrooted. I tried RUU about a thousand times, every time it gets to the rebooting into fastboot or whatever stage where it times out and fails because the phone takes minutes to turn back on and go into fastboot no matter what I do with the buttons, even if I don't touch them at all. My battery was fine, I think. Still lasted the whole day just fine. Stays on when I disconnect it.
