Help, my device is dead; all I see is a grey screen with a serial number on top (or USB when the device is placed in the cradle) and on the bottom I see V1.00
You have to reflash your device.....
Search a little bit in the forum, and you will find the answer how to do this...

I was upgrading the ROM of my XDA IIS device through bluetooth connection as I had some problem with my usb cradle. Suddenly an interruption took place and the device became dead. The screen is now grey showing "Serial" at the top and ver. 2.07 at the bottom. Pls suggest me how to restore my device to normal operation.

A couple of questions:
What ROM are you using?
What version of Windows is your main computer running?
Has ANYTHING changed between it working and it not? (Automatic updates, new software installed, installed drivers for a new USB device, etc)
Does the PDA recognise that it is charging/has external power?
Can you borrow a different cable\somebody else's computer to test it on?
Just as a test, try going into your settings, in the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try ticking\unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"
If the cable is broken, best thing to do is to buy a new one - its probably not worth the money to repair it (try looking on EBay - any mini-usb cable SHOULD suit the Universal)
(ps. are you sure you should be posting in here? I think you probably should have put it into the main section for Universals)
hi TehPenguin
thx for your reply
as i said before i am a total newbie and so dont know were to check wot ROM i am using.from where can i check.the fone come with WM6 installed(it does not have video calling however)
i am runnig windows xp sp2 on my pc.
when i plug in wall charger ,pda recognizes it
no mew software were installed from the time it was working(after that i installed a couple of spb programmes via bluetooth)
i tried my cable on my fiends foned and it worked,i tried my fone with my friends cable and it didnt work,that is why i am thinking it is something to do with my mini usb connector.
can some admin move this post to appropriate section or do i repost there again?
tnx again

Okay, Windows XP is a good start - and its nice to see that you did some test to figure out where exactly the bug is
I find it unusual that your phone came with WM6 already on it - unless it was second hand... You can check your windows version by going into the settings, under the "System" tab and opening "About", at the top of this it should have "Windows Mobile(R) 6 Professional" or something like that
Here are some more things to try:
Have the phone off and disconnected, then plug in the cable (this seems to work for me if I have problems)
Go into your settings, under the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"
I think that the second one is most likely the way to fix it. Also what version of ActiveSync are you running (At the top of ActiveSync there is a "Help" menu, select the "About Microsoft ActiveSync" - this should give you version info). If the activesync is anything less than version 4.5 - look for an update on Microsoft's website
And one last thing - no offence, but - one thing I don't like is people using "IM spk" for forums. I understand if you aren't fluent in English but please try...
Enjoy!
TehPenguin
thanks again for your help.
first I would like to say that i do not know what you mean by IM spk ?sorry if I broke any rules
the phone is not new,i bought it off e-bay
I am running activesync 4.5 on my pc which if i am not mistaken is the latest version available.
I will check about what version i have later,as I dont have phone with me currently,but what I can say is the version i have does not support video calling,and it does not have the Phone pad facility in the entering text options.
No harm done with the "IM spk" (its just one of the things I don't like - I'm sure you read my post on the Ultimate ROM)
Did you try any of my other suggestions?
Also, you may wish to upgrade your Universal to a new ROM (I believe that Ivan is uploading one as I type) or go to an official WM5 ROM from a manufacturer - it is possible that the ROM you are using is defective...
just to let you know
problem fixed.it was a hardware problem after all,took it to a local technician who fixed it up for me
all back to normal now
thanks for your help m8

That's for a Wallaby. The Uni has a USB socket soldered straight to it's mobo. It depends if the damage has ripped any tracks from the mobo. It may be a straight solder replacement, or you may need to follow the tracks slightly to solder further along them. I'm sure a competent solderer would be able to help if you showed them it. Or upload a picture of the damage and we can all have a look
I think my ipaq 3660 is dead, but I hope not, I was hoping to try and put linux on it. Here's the scenario, I bought it from a guy who says it was working till a rom upgrade went wrong (power cut ).It appears to charge up OK, with the light eventually going solid. Active sync finds it and identifies it correctly but can't connect, advising me to turn off usb connections to stop repeated attempts to connect.A hard reset results in a screen of black and green vertical lines with 2 rectangular boxes near the top which look like text boxes, but with no text.I have download a rom update from HP, but of course it won't install without active sync connecting.Does anyone have any ideas how to save it? I have succesfully upgraded my xda2 a number of times (now ce 6.1) so I have a limited ability.
Thanks in advance
I got some more info from handhelds.org, if I press and hold joypad button then press reset, I get a picture of a parrot, this I think is bootloader mode? It seems if I get this far perhaps all is not lost, it appears this is not uncommon with this ipaq. Unfortunately the solution seems to be to connect to a pc with a serial cable to copy over needed files, but my cradle is only usb, and I'm reluctant to spend anymore on what could still be a lost cause.
Any ideas?
Hi,
Many thanks to accept me in this expert forum
I just received my hTc =p3650 and I think that's a wonderfull machine !!
I am thus a newbie, but thanks to this forum, I already reflash the ROM (from NL to French), upgrade from TT6 to TT7,...
Everything is ok, except the bluetooth connexion to my PC (Vista)!!
Indeed it is very strange because when I start the procedure, my PC and my hTc dectet each other, but impossible to establish a connection, and the screen to choose the COM port is empty !!
I then check on the PC, port 14 was proposed (all the other port where not available)
I then check the register of the hTC and I discovered that the list goes only up to 9 !!!!
I then edited the hTc register and add COM14, but no effect
I then recover the COM3 on my PC, but still no effect
I spend one day on internet (and in this forum) to find the solution but nothing
I then excpect a lot from your help
Many thanks in advance
I reply to muself: I found the solution thanks to the support of dr-jo of planete-htc:
I just desactivated the "Advance network support" in Start/ Parametres / Onglet Connexion / in "USB to PC" Icon, and now ActiveSync works via bluetooth
Good evening
Hi!
First, greetings for best forum on pda i ever seen!
Now, my problem:
i have found an old navigator from navman icn 320 with intel processor pxa255 at 200mhz, sdram 256mb from samsung K4S561632E, rom AL008D90BA102 (spansion), screen LTP283QV-F02 (samsung 240x320 i think) fits too in Eten G500.
it has a sd slot and i have soldered a mini usb on the pcb.
the navigator just works fine but it has the maps very old (2004).
the problem is: i want to install win on it. i don't want a specific version, just one that works fine.
after one week of reading various forums and sites i decided to make my question here. hope someone will give some idea.
so, if i press power on and center buttons on the screen comes this thing:
Navman icn 320 (32MB RAM)
Primary Bootloader 3.20.0003
Built on Jul 29 2005 at hour...
Insert a SD into slot...
if i put into sd slot his original sd, starts to flash and after restart.
from what i've saw on duff.dk this nav don't have a real OS.
so the problem is:
how can i rewrite the first bootloader? what do i need to make it?
if a connect the usb at winxp, it tells me there is a unknown component without drivers.
not even under linux 2.6.28-15 works. linux see this navman with
ID 0a99:0002 , and it's stops. if i load navman module, it will load too usbserial-generic and it will say registered new interface for navman.
and that's all what i can do. on duff.dk says: on this nav only read it's possible.
if i will press power on and ok buttons, comes out a menu with various options - test lcd, sound and so on. the last option it say X Enable usb debug.
if enabled this option, with usb cable connected when turn on the power will come out for one second this:
Navman icn 320
Bootloader 3.24.1012 built on jul 29 2005 hour.....
Debug out USB detected
Switch off permanently from the maintenance menu
Press ESC now to cancel (NORMAL debug output)
if the debug it's disabled when connected to usb of the computer the nav will load the splash screen and after that hangs. otherwise, without usb cable loads the splash screen and goes ahead to search the maps on sd.
so, can i write the first bootloader in some way? can i backup the first bootloader in some way?
i'm disposed to sacrifice this navman and to waste about 100 euro to understand and make writing of the bootloader. where, which one bl, which interface i need an so on.
i need to know if it's possible to load the first bootloader from sd or usb, and if not which interface i need to do it (jtag maybe, if yes, which one).
i hope someone here will help me with some idea.
escuse my poor english.
thanks
