i csn get to the bootloader butnot for sure what to do from there

in the boot loader screen if the word "Serial" changes to "USB" when you connect to the PC ... then you can run any proper RUU file to reflash your ROM

Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..
Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!

No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers
I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?
Used awizard to revert back the OS from ver2 to ver1. It has unexpected error during the "w" option and the device is hung for a long time. Did a soft reset, and after that it only shows upto i-mate booting screen and sits there. No activesync is detected now of course and is there anything to recover this. Please...
Press Camera+softreset, you will enter bootloader, try to get you original ROM and flash. Hope this can help you!!! BR
This will work. I had the same thing with my 8125 once. Get it to the bootloader screen (Camera+SoftReset) and connect via USB to your PC. Run your RUU and it will work.
I had a bad experience with aWizard and figured I was not educated enough and decided to not mess with anything but an RUU for now. Even still I don't mess with ROMs anymore. Not worth the risk/headache.
Let us know if you recovered.
Alright so for some reason my phone would not flash roms fully they would always stop at like 89 percent or somthing...
So i thought maybe i should update my hard spl...
So i flash a new hard spl on my phone and now for some reason a htc pocket bios screen comes up and i cant even attempt to flash anything now...
Someone help?
Go get the official rom for your phone. Make sure your phone is in the bootloader screen (tri color) and it shows USB. Activesync will NOT connect (thats fine). Now run the RUU for the official rom (ignore where it says to make sure activesync is working. As long as the phone shows USB you are fine). Once you flash to the official rom, you should have a working device again.
At that point you need to verify if you have any type of hardspl installed (post what your phone says on the boot loader screen. You can get back to it by holding the camera button and doing a soft reset. Then just do a soft reset again to get the phone to reboot).
Good luck
Does anyone know how to recover and unbrick a Samsung Ace from a bad flash. My friend tried to upgrade to WM 6.1 using the official upgrade available from samsungusa.com.
All went well, so he says, and the device reset. Instead of loading up it became stuck on a bootloader screen which dispays the samsung logo and www.samsungusa.com.
All attempts to hard reset:
1. hold soft keys
2. press power button
3. press left soft key for clean boot.
have proved futile.
when it is connected to the USB cable it does not recognize the device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I do not think that a call to Sprint Help center will help so I will have to find a community assisted solution.
first advice: after a flash, the initial boot takes very long compared to the normal boot - so let the device sit for 5-10 minutes after switch on, leave the room, have a coffee and wait.
Not sure about the upgrade process for Samsung, but the normal sequence is anyway that the device enters the bootloader when loading the new software.
So as long as you have the bootloader (are you sure it is the bootoloader and not some splashscreen?) nothing is really "bricked".
First make sure you put the device in bootloader mode, then you can just retry the flash with the device connected via USB sitting in boot loader. AS will not find it in this mode, but the flash program should after a while and then continue with the flashing.

Thanks Tobbbie, with the above I should be able to clarify:
But first my apologies for my newbie-ness. I did leave the room, went to be, got up and still no change. I am attaching a pic of what I see on the phone. It seems to be the splashscreen.
I am still able to access the hard reset screen using the procedure as shown in the original post, but this takes me nowhere either. Doing a hard reset takes me back to the logo screen with text : "Clean boot mode" included. this also sits for hours.
I was hoping someone would be able to post a solution of the form seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689423
Sorry, cannot help any further here as I do not have this device. If the flash process from the PC does not recognize the connected device in this mode, try to disable USB connections in AS and retry flashing. Normally the flash-SW on the PC will terminate AS so this is not required - but just in case...

Hi, i must be the dumbest person in here. I just bricked my used sprint touch pro 2. Well it all started when i did not get any sleep, and did not paying attention. My phone was fully unlocked. So i decided i could not wait to flash my phone. So i started to flash the phone, but after it was done i realized i only flashed the BLEEPING SPLASH SCREEN !!!!!!!!
So when i tried to turn the phone on, it loads to the splash screen only.
So i tried to connect it to my computer, but nothing. So i tried to hard reset, it goes to bootloader screen, then only to Touch pro 2 screen. Is there anything that i could do beside Cry, lol. HELP PLEASE.
Can you enter bootloader on your touch pro2?
If so, then its good news and its not bricked Download an official rom from HTC website (or here from the touch pro 2 forum), connect it to your computer whilst in bootloader (multi coloured screen) - make sure is says usb and not serial on ur devices screen and double click your downloaded rom.
It should flash succesfully and you will have your device back up and running in under 10 minutes.
Good luck.
Maybe i should elaborate more. when i said, when i connect it to the computer nothing. I meant nothing happens. Meaning it does not connect, or recognize the Usb, or computer. Help, THX
Ok, you know how to get ur device into bootloader right? what does it say on the screen (dont bother connecting it to your computer).
It jumps right from bootloader mode to the screen that ask me if i want reset all setting to manufacturer default, or cancel page.
soft reset = hold the power button and the volume button down and softreset
I think you are trying to to a hard reset
If you can stay in bootloader, it is possible to flash official stock rom from your sd card. It isnt too difficult to do so let me know and ill tell you how to do it, but have a look on the touch pro 2 forum, you will find how to do it there
Okay, i did a soft reset. And it is staying at the boot loader screen. So it is possible to fix this sprint phone?
Okay, i think i have an idea what you want me to do. You want me to put the phone in boot loader mode, then down load a .nbh file onto the root of the SD card. And while in boot loader mode it should flash the stock rom.
Is that correct?
Yes exactly that
Make sure you extract the nbh file from the stock rom using winzip or another utility. You must then rename it to something like xxxxx.nbh (you will need to get this from the tp2 forum or when i have time ill find it for u). COpy it to the root as you say, enter bootloader etc etc.
You will find how to do this in the tp2 forum.
Good luck.
Once you get into the bootloader (the tri-coloured screen) it should say "Serial" at the bottom. Then plug the USB cable in from your PC, and that should change to "USB".
If it does say "USB", then you should be able to go ahead and flash a ROM from the PC (no need to do it via SD unless you really want to). You don't need an ActiveSync connection.
Omg. I love you guys. You guys are the best in the whole amm world. I will be donating shortly. Thank you so much. It worked perfectly in boot loader mode to connect it to the usb. Than i was able to download the stock rom.
Now should i hard reset it or just leave it alone. Thanks a million.
Hey, good news.
I guess when you said before that it didn't say usb whilst in bootloader was because you weren't actually in bootloader no matter.
Glad you got it back up and running without having to flash via sd
If you flashed an official stock rom, don't bother hard resetting, no point, if you flashed a custom or cooked rom then normally advisable to HR after a flash but this does depend on the rom.
Cheers.
