I recently attempted to upgrade my Orange SPV M2000 to WM 5 but my computer crashed at 29% and my pda went with it. The device is now compleatly dead, it won't go into boot loader at all. I've tried hard resets and had a look around on the forums but haven't found anything thats helped me yet.
I'd be extremly grateful for any help
I have the same problem, PDA is dead, it won't turn on after crash.
Fixed mine
Exactly the same problem with mine Thought I had blown it up. Left it for 5 mins then connected my USB(still no activesync connection and no lights or nuthin) but selected the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again and it just worked.
Hope yours works too.

ok my xda locks up (nothing new there!) soft rest and all i get is a white screen! try again and the same thing happens. So i decide to do a hard reset. This appears to be working until it's loading applications and settings (O2) when it hits a .per file (i think) and tells me i need to find the source .cab file.
the 2 choices i then have are ok or cancel, niether work the bloody thing is locked up again! so i soft rest it and it's back but with no O2 settings. I try and run a back up from my pc and it all works apart from about 15 files that it cannot reinstall (mainly to do with contacts). I then sync my contact list as that is missing and all looks good! 2 days configuring it back to my liking and all looks good once again!
This morning no alarm to wake me up (bugger im now half hour late for work! lol) the xda had been on charge all night and it appears to be dead! All i can see is the O2 logo like you get at start up but with no back light. the unit does not respond to anything. I've tried taking the battery out, soft and hard reset all with no response! I try and put it back on charge and all i get is the red light come on for 2 mins then go off again! can't turn it on while on charge!
Please help as phoning O2 is really like banging our head against a brick wall!
thanks guys
i'm not to sure but i would say you have two options either download the rom from the o2 website or download the rom Modified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_V1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar i installed it yesterday and i haven't had any problems hope this helps
ty but if i cant turn the phone on or connect it to the pc how can i do that????
i might give O2 a call anyway and see what they say. they might offer me a new one which is always good!
o2 could offer you a new one but i read somewhere on this site that the xda IIi has been discontinued so they might upgrade to the xda exec
When I first got my 2i, I had it for a week and then out of the blue it decided to do this after a soft reset one day - got stuck at the O2 splash screen, no backlight, frozen forever. Had to take the battery out to turn it off.
Took it into the shop, the store manager said "yeah, we've seen this happen more than once", and just went into the storeroom and got a me a brand new one.
This did happen the day after I'd run the simunlock tool found on this forum, which worked successfully (I tried my Virgin mobile SIM in it and it worked first time, but I then took it back out and put my O2 SIM back in)... I'm not sure if it was just coincidence or what, but I'm not feeling too eager to run simunlock on my Alpine again until I sell it
thanks guys i thought it might be fried!
called last night but got cut off and then was after 7 so couldn't speak to anyone! :evil:
will try again and see what they say!
when i put it on charge it charges for a few mins then turns onto splash screen for a few mins then turns off and charges again and so on in a loop! really quite annoying! lol
Another thing to try is to put the device into bootloader mode and force a firmware upgrade. It can be connected to the PC but it will no longer use Activesync so the upgrade will work fine.
Once this is done it will be using more up to date firmware if you download the ROM from this sites FTP and should work better in general.
well carphone craphouse couldnt do anything with it so has had to go back to O2 went on the 10th dec and still no word
Hi,
I have a Qtek9090 which I upgraded yesterday to Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU2.6 Beta (v.1.1.2 Beta).
Everything went fine and I do like it (apart from the usual problems with WiFi, BT,...).
However I got into a shock-state when I turned it on this morning after leaving it in the craddle during the night for charging:
It would turn on, but the screen was completly f..ked up!!!
I did a Softreset -> screen still messed up
I did a Hardreset -> screen still messed up
I did reflash the upgrade -> screen still messed up
I took out the battery for half an hour and put it back -> still the same
After many resets and so on, suddenly I got the color stripes again and the phone booted normaly. I did not even loose any data.
Next I put it to charge again and after a while (the screen went off meanwhile), I turned it on and guess: scrambled screen again.
This time, I did the Reset this way: battery-notch off, kept the Softreset pressed and simultaneously put the battery-notch on again.
Is this a known problem (shouldn't be - I searched the forum!)?
Why does this happen?
Any ideas???
Also, I have these questions:
- What is this selection one has to do after the upgrade for (2. and 3. item YES)? What should the first item be: YES or NO? Can this be the cause for my problem?
- Would it be wise to downgrade again? (In case this is a defect -> so I can try to claim warranty, if things get worse...)
- What is the patch for energy management for? Where can I download it, as the link in the Wiki does not work? (Has this to do with my problem?)
Thanks,
vma
The problem remains.
It does not seem to depend on the charging, but happens when the device is turned off for some time.
When I turn it on it will either work fine, or funtion with a wild flickering screen.
Arrggghhhh!!!
Am I the only one with this problem?
Cheers,

Hi,
Some month have passed on this issue. The reason I did not post about it, was because I had to send my BA for repair and one never knows if the "enemy" is listening... Now the warranty has expired anyway and mey BA is fully working.
It may have been a coincidence, but one day after the upgrade the screen went mad and totally messed up. Only 1 Hardreset in about 100 tries would bring it back to normal for some period of time and even reflashing it with WM5 or 2003SE would not make it work normal again.
The screen would get messed up suddenly for no particular reason, normally during a standby.
At the end I had to send it in for repair, which was actually a good thing, as I complained about the loose stylo and bad working hardkeys, all within warranty.
I got a new key-pcb, backside and they reflashed the device with 2003SE.
I am almost sure that I must have done something wrong with the upgrade to WM5.
Strangely I was able to flash 2003SE onto it, though it did still not work properly: hours with messed screen and sometimes out of the blue I would turn it on and the screen was OK again for a few hours.
Could it be a bad cable connection, which got repaired as well? Was it just a software problem?
One of the things I was in doubt with: when you enter this menu to format the device, the instructions say to switch two options, but the menu on my device had three options. Sorry - I do not exactly recall the details.
Anyone with an idea, why my device went mad?
As a side-note: while WM5 was great, while it worked during the one day it worked. I specially liked to be able to turn the device completly off or being able to remove the battery without loosing data.
However: not having my beloved BA fo two weeks made me reconsider doing experiments on it. Since I have it back I did not reconsider flashing it again.
But I would like to understand what had happend...
Cheers,
vma
May I assume from the lack of replies, that this was a pure coincidence on my device?
Nobody else experimented this weird problems after upgrading to WM5?
I am considering upgrading my phone again, essentially because I am tired of being afraid of discharging the battery and thus losing all data...
Cheers,
vma
It had been going so well, until 9 months later...today. This morning I noticed my battery low (12%), and I thought I'd charge it when I got to work. However it never made it to work - when I went to charge it the back light was on and it was frozen. Thought nothing of it, plugged in the charger, hit the reset button and... nothing. So battery out, back in - press the power light and all I get is the solid green light, no screen, no activity, nothing.
The charging light isn't on either when it is charging, yet the battery shows good charge (tried it on a friends). I'm guessing it's dead, any other takers? I'll ring Vodafone tomorrow, but I'm running with a Duty rom. Hopefully as it looks terminal it should be ok, fingers crossed??
Same thing happened to me just now. WTF? I didn't even do anything. Just totally dead with green light only on. I've tried everything. Pull battery, connect USB, charger, took out SIM, took out memory card, even tried with another new battery, nothing at all. and I just got this phone as replacement last week.
You are stuck in OEMSBL. I can help, but it will be later or tomorrow.
Tell me your ROM, SPL Version, Radio Version, & device model number as well as typey, i.e. Tilt, TYTNII, etc...
HMMMM seems we have a new problem here
Hi Guys
Guess this is now new problem with tytn ii had my phone repaired a couple of weeks ago. technician said something about 3 bad block in the CE was responsible for the TRI color boot screen i used to get.
He said that he formated the phone and reloaded all "firmware".
Prior to sending it in i had Confused Stu Vista Mobile 1.3 running on the phone. Also had OLIPRO 1.0 as the sspl
Tried Frankenkaiser but the phone will not complete step 7 keeps showing that it is an unknown USB device, once i replug the USB cable.
Loaded all the Qualicom Drivers for the Phone as well.
GSLEO3 you and JockeyW are "GOD'S" when it comes to these issues.
Please grace me with your knowledge.

why did you even try frankenkaiser? you only need to use it if you have no SPL (and only if you have the radio from hell).
anyway, to everyone in this thread... if the device still causes the PC to load the qualcomm drivers, when plugged in, then you can recover it, though usually need to use another program as frankenkaiser is currently only compiled for specific radio versions.
Sorta Dead with solid green light
I am in the same boat ... I mistakenly flashed a non-Kaiser radio ( 1.65.28.25 ) and then thought I was reading a Kaiser page about ho to fix it and I ran a `2a`. Ooops on me.
I cannot get tricolor bootloader ... tried hard-reset ( two soft keys and reset ), and Camera-reset, but nothing is working.
What does work:
-bong when connected to PC
-mtty connects - but no `CMD>` prompt.
-able to issue `setboot` - and get back "ARM9BootMode:1".
I've read all the posts and it seems like without the bootloader, I am stuck.
This is an ATT Tilt/8925.
Any and ALL suggestions much appreciated.
seems i have such a problem
the kaiser shows only solid green led. nothing else
doesnt enter tricolor
when i plug it to usb, device manager shows first Qualcomm device and then finds several new devices such as Data Interface
device is AT&T Tilt 8925, original rom version, radio and spl are unknown
who can help me?

Hi,
I dropped my ATT tilt on floor 3 days back. Initially I was able to start-up mobile, but it used to reboot again giving me pop sound before rebooting. I also observed a '?' on battery status and noticed me of low battery before rebooting.
I recharged my battery using my bro's HTC. I also tried recharging with AA batteries. Yesterday the phone was completely dead. I was only able to see bootloader.
With the help of info available from different posts I tried to flash my mobile(-ATT_Tilt-RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship). I was successful to upgrade my ROM.
However, once the mobile boots...it shows me Windows Mobile 6.1 with a notice " The device is clearing storage please wait..." and the red light blinking...then after few seconds it gives a pop sound and starts rebooting.
Here are the weird things I noticed.
-I was able to flash my mobile without HSPL.
-WDMC doesn't recognize my device.
-Whenever I connect my mobile to charge/USB it gets stuck at the ATT start up screen with orange light indicating battery is charging. I'm able to see my start up screen only if I disconnect from charger/USB and power on.
Now I'm not able to flash again. Help needed !
My device Info on boot loader :
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.0000
CPLD-8
I'm able to see USB on bootloader when I connect to USB.
Thanks in Advance !
Help Please
Hardware damage calls for a hardware solution
If the problem started since you dropped it on the floor then that indicates some physical damage to the device (perhaps internally where you cant see). No amount of ROM flashing or hard resetting will cure this, whats required is a visit to the HTC repair centre/knowledgable phone repair shop. They'll be able to inspect/test the device, come up with a solution and quote to fix it. There are many possibilities as to whats gone wrong and the only way to be sure is to have an expert check it out in person.
So, I went to sleep one night when battery was around 55%, woke up 8 hours later, my phone surprising turned off (turn out to be out of battery)..
I charge and turn it back up, the screen for the first time since I got the phone start flickering (the first screen before windows boot). Looking for a quick fix, I want to hard reset, but I would like to backup everything before I do a hard-reset. The problem - I cannot get neither activesync to work NOR disk mode to work.
This flickering screen had never happened before, I don't know the cause. Very confused myself what happened while I slept, solution to at least ONE of the problem would be helpful
Thanks
Ok, I read on forums that I could potentially fix the problem by downgrading to HardSPL 1.37. The problem is that it requires activesync to work. Not being able to get it to work, I did a hard reset, now everytime i try to go into activesync, it tells me that i need to install some software from the Getting Started CD which I don't have.
Someone help me, this is driving me insane
Thanks.
I havn't notice this, but I cannot get anything out of hte speaker because the phone thinks a headphone is plugged in, i dont know if this disables any activesync from the usb cable.. but either way, I cannot get pass the screen where it asks to install software from Getting Started Disc.....
it seems like the computer doesn't recognize that a phone has been plugged, tried on diff computers already
someone help, my phone is useless with this problem.
I have also this problem, it happened about a year ago and I have not used it since.
Now I wanted to recover the contents of the flash drive, but I can't get it connected to the pc.
I made a hard reset, and it stays the same flickering and heating a lot. And now I can't go past the screen calibration.
How can I access the flash?
