Wiki has downgrade instructions, did you follow them?
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!

MY MOBILE DETAIL IS AS UNDER
IPL 2.06 .0001

GSM 02.19.21
OS 4.0.0.0
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.
Is my K-Jam totally bricked?
It is now stuck up in bootloader screen.
I am able to swtch it off with power button. I can also have first flash screen.
On connecting with USB port, it shows yellow light indicating that it is charging & that over a period of time, goes green.
Earlier I had flashed TNT ROM but while reflashing newer it got stuck up as after flashing, I tried to hard reset [mistakenly thought ROM is flushed fully] & could not go further after initail first screen.
Other details:
IPL:2.16
SPL:2.16
GSM:02.07.10
O.S.:11.0.0.2
May some one help?
Thanks in advance.

Nopes ! its not 'Bricked' just had a bad flash. As long as it gets into bootloaders ,its perfectly safe. Perhaps,your phone is not CID unlocked ?
Download the official carrier's rom from its website and flash it in the bootloaders,it'll start to work fine.Then read the guide to cid unlock and upgrade.
Cheers!

Always post vital data of the phone,which is your device G3 or G4.Have you Tried Soft Reset or Hard Reset.it sometimes help.
Well,if it's a G3,is it SIM/CID unlocked,cuz its required to get the phone CID unlocked to upgrade to wm6,but if its a G4,then use method 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' as it cannot be CID unlocked.
Post IPL/SPL...? of the phone here.

'Hard Reset' the phone,hope it'll work fine.
Well,I assume,you cudn't do the SoftSPL correctly the first time,try to apply the SpftSPL again correctly,if it works,ok,otherwise you can upgrade to wm6 with HardSPL method.

I think you would need to downgrade your SPL.
So you would need to reinstall SSPL, then just install HSPL 1.83, then the 6.1 ROM. You will probably have "commercial use" issues to reinstall 1.83 so I would send the Olinex team an e-mail first before trying.
thanx Bruce Inman for u'r reply.i'm waiting for
hi Bruce Inman
I did what you said before.downgarde hard spl to 1.8 ver and then flashed my topaz with wm6.1 cocked and stock but didn't work. in boot session reboot cycling occur.
downgrading spl is not necessary i think, because i have also downgraded 6.5 to 6.1 last week, and my topaz got the latest hspl. last year i downgraded my kaiser to 6.0 and 6.1 with the latest spl.
i think the rom image you acquired is damaged, try re-downloading it
@Carrier
hi
i tested many rom cocked and stock .when i bought this damn topaz it was wm6.5
i think all fu... HTC are slow ,unstable .
I tried the same my self with official ROM from HTC. I didn't have to downgrade SPL because my phone for some reason is unable to be flashed HSPL Olinex ??
Operation run smoothly but after finishing topaz entered a constant reset loop after boot screen
I run out of ideas ...
