Unfortunetly no I'm gonna leave PDA without battery tonight and see what gona happen tommorow - if this will not solve the problem i will send it to service centre.

try this
I was upgrading when my computer had a blue screen and completely crashed. Try getting into the bios, by pressing, camera+power+reset at the sametime, and then try to run the installer again when you plugged it in the computer. Don't know if it will work for you, but it worked for me.greets

I'm in the bootloader mode, but I stock here! Windows recognizes PDA, but flashing software shows that what on the image and then can't connect to the device.
I mean, I can see olny USB/Serial at the top and 1.02 at the bottom

I've met this status few days ago. Do you install activesync on your computer? If no, try to install it and re-plug your PDA phone. Run update ROM program to see the status change or not?
I use Dopod818_1110_153_11100_Ship.exe to upgrade my PDA. It is traditional chinese version. Just FYR.

A have ActiveSync v 4.00 b4343, when I run rom update program, ActiveSync icon hides - so I can say that is king of status change Of course active sync still shows that phone is not connected. But when rom update program ends it shows error 201 - i have used those rom already:
MA_TMUK_11300_128_11200_Ship.exe
NL_11300_131_11200.exe
WWE_T-Mobile_1.13.zip
WWE_10600_158_10600.rar
WWE_10600_110_10500.exe
Every single started with standart MaUpgradeUt and MaUpgradeUt_noID but problem still exsist. Normal MaUprageUt can't connect to the phone, and MaUpgradeUt_noID shows status like on my image attached on the top, and after I prase upgrage and leave phone for 2 hours nothinh happens, it only displays "Checking information of your device"

stock in bootloader
Hi J-A-J-O,
I had the same problem like you and i found out that it's maby the battery that is the problem.
You must have a battery that is charged well.
When it is not charged this problem might occured.
I want to try this but i don't know how to charged a battery when you don't
have a'n OS installed on the Pocket PC.
Perhaps somebody can tell me this??
Thnx,
Alfa156

You might be right, I remember that battery was charged around 30% when I stardet to flash. Now when I'm trying to charge the phone, indicator dosn't shine and phone dosn't getting warm, like it was always be when i plug the charger...
And damn, i don't know anybody, who has magician, so I can't borrow charged battery - maybe there's way to charge the phone when it is in bootloader mode?
Could somone help us?
EDIT: Ok, so I knew some new facts. The battery couldn't be charged in the bootloader mode, but somone from polish forum told me that he has scheme how to connect battery directly to charger. When I charg battery and check is that the reason of my problem, i will write in this topic
PS. Sorry for my english

Hi J-A-J-O,
Can you tell me what the additional steps are?
After i put the back cover on what is than the next step to do.
Have succeed to charge your battery?
without any OS on the Magician.
Thnx,
Alfa156
By the way did you already got the scheme for charge the battery directly from the charger.

Yes, I have charged the battery directly from charger.
This method was invented by Jasse from PDAclub.pl, BIG THANKS to him
Scheme is in the attachment. You need some charger, it must be between 3-6v. Cut off the plug, then connect red cable to minus, and black/white or other to plus. Hold the cables in that position for 2-3 minutes then try to flash. Remember: If battery will get too hot disconnect it immidietly.
YOU DOING THIS AT YOU OWN RISK

Hi J-A-J-O
I met the same problem. And I did what you mentioned to charge my battery. the model is PM16A. But seems it did not work. Could you paste the original link of this topic? What kind of charger did you use to direct charge this battery?
P.S. I'm using dopod 818.
Thanks.

I fixed it.

How did u fix it?

BMaster,
I remember that I used a wire to short-cut 2 or 3 pins, then put the battery in, and plug the charger, this will cheat the system that it looks like the battery is full. Then you can flash the it with a good rom. It has been passed a long time, I have to try it again so that I can tell you the exact pin number.

Stuck in bootloader & error 302

I've been running a ROM I built from the consolidated kitchen this weekend without any problems. Today I updated the radio to 2.69.11 from the cingular 2.25.11. After the flash the phone froze on the windows mobile screen. After some time I tried to reset the phone and it froze again, a few more tries and it finally boots up. I didn't pull the memory card when I flashed and thought that might have been the problem so I flashed again even though the phone was showing 2.69.11. I don't remember everything after that but it wouldn't boot up and I have tried flashing the original Cingluar ROM & T-mobil 2.26 without any luck.
The phone is stuck in bootloader now and is getting a error code 302 I think it's because the phone doesn't stay on when the USB cable is attached. It gets to about 15% and the phone resets and the error 302 pops up. When connected and not trying to update the phone turns on and off in the bootloader screen. I have pulled the battery, rebooted the laptop, tried using mtty,and pulled the sim. I thought the original problem might have been because I flashed at 52% battery. I put a older battery in after that appeared to have a good charge. Right now I put the phone on charge with the newer battery to see if this helps. I am not sure if it is charging because the orange light is not on, I can't get the phone to stay turned off when plugged into the charger and the bootloader screen is on.
And yes I have been searching for hours for a solution to this problem.
Also looking for a post I read about doing a master reset, I have tried holding the 2 soft keys when turning on, didn't help.
I think this says it all I have tried everything, does anyone anything else to try?
Thanks

UPDATE: went out for a few beers and some food. Not sure it the battery charged (bootloader screen on the whole time it was plugged into the charger)
Tried flashing again with cingular ROM, got about 20% and phone shut off and turned on again in bootloader. Flash gave 302 error again. Tried again and phone reset (on and off) every 5 seconds when connected to laptop with USB.
I'm hopping someone out there has a answer for this problem.

Back from the dead HALLAULA!!!!
This morning I spent more hours searching still didn't out find anything.
I tried mtty again and noticed that I never got to the screen that shows USB>
to enter the command "set 14 0"
I came up with a thought and this is what I did. Created a new ROM, OS only. Thinking it will load faster than any other ROM. It reached 100% in 3 minuets the whole I'm coaching come on baby don't restart and than going (don't know how to explain the feeling) waiting the next 2 minuets to get to finished. But it got there booted fine. I don't know why it stayed on this time and didn't restart, maybe having the battery out all night had something to do with it. After I flashed the Cingular ROM than the original I created and lastly Radio 2.69.11
I hope this helps someone in the future,

i need your help

Uncheck everything on Build OS.
My problems started from a version of battery status that caused the original problem and not having enough of a charge on my battery.
Make sure you are CID unlocked (if you have a G3) and your battery is charged.

Umm, you can't uncheck everything in build OS or you will have problems, especially if you don't check a tuchflo or non touch flo dll or choose a commanager and probably a few others things. I don't have build OS up in front of me to check. The whole point to this msg is that you can check everything in build OS (besides the ones that say choose only 1) and it will build an OS only rom for you. That's the whole point behind build OS.

You are correct, I was kind of going from memory since I had built the striped down ROM awhile ago.

Mda compact with serial v1.02 screen

Hi everyone.
After much searching I seem to have got nowhere. Can someone please help.
My mda compact 2 starting playing up yesterday, rebooting on its own, so I tried to install the upgrade from tmobile (ruu charmer). The upgrader stopped and my mda now has a screen that only either says serial v1.02 or usb v1.02.
I've tried rebooting it several times in several different ways without any joy, the screen just remains the same. I tried connecting to my laptop via active sync, but its like it doesn't exist anymore!
I'm about to give up after hours of trying to fix it, so any assistance in very simple terms would be much appreciated!

problem solved
Seems like my problem must have been too basic or too common for anyone to bother to help, so I did some searching myself throughout this site and elsewhere.
However, what I found was thoroughly misleading and unhelpful.
The error messages are also inaccurate and totally misleading. Error 274 might mean pc can't connect to pda, but it also means other things, like your using the wrong upgrade firmware!!. Having serial v1.02 or usb v1.02 on your screen does not mean its a grey and black brick(useless), its simply the upgrade mode screen.
Basically, I made an error in choosing my upgrade. I chose the wrong firmware package from t-mobile thinking what I had was a mdacompact 2, when it actually was just a mda compact. This error was the main issue, yet from this forum I had the idea it could have been a number of things.
One important thing to remember is adhering to all the instructions regarding the installation of the new rom.
Don't bother unless you do the following:
1) Make sure you have a good connection via cradle or usb lead when doing the download.
2) Make sure you close all unnecessary programs on your pc.
3) Dont touch either your pc or the mda during installation.
4) Don't give up after you read misleading rubbish on the web.
5) Make sure you download from the web the correct upgrade firmware!!(very important in my case!)
6) Active sync is not totally necessary during the process.(I turned off usb connection in its setting during my installation).

Hey
I have the same Problem
i tried updating the software on the phone but now i get that screen..
Im still stuck on what exctly to do, I've been googling it for hours!! HELP!!!

Qtek S200 Bricked ??!!

It may be that my q-tek is bricked. To cut a long story short I am rebooting and it is getting stuck on the QTEK page displaying:
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
GSM 02.47.21
It also had OS2.20.7.34 but this is not showing.
Problem is - this is a swisscom fone and therefore I cannot access the original QTEK site as it fails to recongise my IMEI.
I have also tried in my ignorance to reflash it but now its stuck.
Is there anyway I can have access to the original English software so that I can try to reflash and re-install from scratch?
I also wanted to add that even a hard reset is not getting it to start up.
And another thing - sometimes the screen just freezes and breaks up in line and colours. What is that? Is my fone dead or dying?
Any help will be appreciated.

The three colour screen is bootloader. If you can get that, your device is recoverable.
edit: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_recovery
This does work, I wrote it from past experience....

Hi,
thanks for your help. Did all your link said.
IT LIVES AGAIN!!!!! THANKS
One question though - if my fone still goes off and the screen feezes and fades out or breaks into lines - what sort of problem would that be?
Cheer!
Delgada

Depends... It could be the ROM, it could be the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the motherboard, it could be an IC (but I doubt that as you say it works)...

Hi.
I realised that last time i opened my Qtek something must have not been in place as I was pressing the case and the pda was freezing. I opened it up for the umpteenth time and made sure all contacts were ok and closed it carefully. It now works fine. Last hiccup - getting it to read my home wifi when it reads everyone elses already.
Thanks
