wrong rom update

After I mistakelt upgrade my s200 with a Kjam rom, the device will not turn on again, now I need to boot from the sd card has anyone an OS backup which work on Sd card?
I ll try to alive the device from sd card but I dont know how I copy the os to the sd card.

Do you have the bootloader alive?

thanks for your help, no I could only reach to Bootscreen when the wall charger plugged, but naturally I could not update the rom from the charger, so I think the only solution is using a backup image from the sd card.

AFAIK, it means that your battery is empty. Try to charge the battery with any working S200/100/110/9100 and you will be able to run the bootloader, then you will restore the device. Correct me, if I wrong.

the problem is not about the charger or battery, although the battery 100% it still cant be opened the problem is after load the Kjam ROM, the device reject to open, it could onyl turn on if the wall charger is pluged however I could plug the USB data cable at the same time. I send it to the service center hope they could recover the device...

This behaviour is typicel for a device with both broken image and discharged battery. The battery WAS at 100%, but the Prophet does not charge it if has no working OS, so the batery was drained until you tryed to reanimate the device. Ensure that the pattery is full with other, working device.

Walker;
I charge the battery with an other prophet I ll wait untill the light become green and battery is 100% then after when I tried with the boken prophet it did not reanimate the device. it is very interesting to see that wizard could work with prohet's rom but not vice versa

Flash wrong ROM consequences
Let me relate my experiences; exactly the same problem.
Update KJAM rom on DOPOD 818Pro ... Damn phone could not power on at all, at most on bootloader, plugin USB cable --> no USB word displayed at bottom.
Try to flash any RUU also no go ...
ON battery, could not power up at all, only plug in wall charger then managed to get to bootloader ... so all was lost.
Send to EBAY (where i bought from) and they flash the bloody Dopod 830 ROM..
During collection, plugin my own battery, same cannot power up... evidently the flash to Kjam killed my battery too !
The good thing was that with the 830 rom, my IPL became 2.16 (from 1.00).
So i reflashed to Dopod latest 2.15 ROM ok... further flash to AKU 2.3 hacked ROM also no problem.
SO, ultimately the cause was a killed battery from the ROM update.
Use a meter to measure contact pt 1 & 2 from top edge of battery, (supposed to be min 4.7V) I believe it's 0V or totally shorted out.
This battery cannot power on the phone, but still can be used as spare battery by power up with wall charger first, the battery still has it's 3.7V available to sustain operation.
So u can go buy a new battery and Flash to the correct ROM now.
Good Luck

to buyaoxiao;
Thanks for your comments but;
I think there is something more serious than the battery; I have two prophets, and I also try with the other's battery and still nothing happened, more than that, both of the batteries work with the non-broken prophet.

Flash wrong ROM
Hmm.. that may be true also.
I cannot really conclude as i was lucky the ebay shop i bought from agree to flash my S200.. i believed they had some trouble too as it took them a week to get it to Dopod 830 rom ... when normally they say 1 day will do. They refused to go into specifics though... (afraid that i demand for 1-1 exchange)

I have had the same problem, so that's why I decide to sent to dealer to try to fix it. Now I'm expect to have a call to pick it up. Hope they can improve my prophet to the new chip G4.
I tryed several times, hours to fix it, but no way. Sorry I can not tell you something good.

I am sure that there should be a way to fix those devices Jtag should not be the only way( if it really works) it is meaningless to loose a device only because of a wrong rom update

upgrading to wm5 and battery goes !!

Hi guys, if when your upgrading roms and your phone runs out of battery(ie u have on charge and the electric goes) half way through will this cause damage? if so can it be put right? also how long does the process of upgrading take?
Thanks in advance

About 30 minutes I think on a blueangel. So your battery life should be fine.
Make sure your cable is plugged into a USB socket on the PC though, and not going through a hub.

or connect the charger to the cradle
along with the usb

thanks guys, i just run the rom following intructions with baupgrade and i get error 103 rom image not found?? when i run with the ma upgrade it runs for 20 secounds and say its upgraded but when i reboot the phone is exactly the same... am i doing somthin wrong?
Thanks

Same Problem
Remove the battery - whait about 3 min. - plug ac power cable without your battery - put the battery - when the orange light on, turn on your device.
back to the life, but not solve the problem.
sorry my english, i´m from brazil. (don´t speak english)

Sounds to me that you tried to flash a Wizard-ROM on a Prophet.
This is simply impossible, so you probably bricked your device.

well its somewhat working i'm on a prophet bootloader ipl 2.09 spl 2.20 right now and i'm using a crossbow rom from the wizard section right now... (camera is not working).
what you could try is cut the charger wire open and attach the inner cable to the first battery pin (physical top) and the outer wire to the fifth pin. then go into bootloader, connect to computer and flash a prophet rom which has spl and ipl included.
dou you have a g3 or g4 device? on which spl/ipl are you right now...

I did the same thing with my s200.
I remove cable and battery, insert adapter cable and then battery until I get a steady amber light (usually takes 2-4 attempts).
When it boots up I quickly replace the adapter cable with the computer cable and Active Sync works.
I would like to reflash it but I can't since my battery is reporting 0% always, even when the battery is fully charged and it's not charging either. (And I can't get into the bootloader either.)
@crOssy: are the batteries different between models? and if so, would your proposed wiring actually work? have it been tested?

Big problem-MDA Vario IV(HTC Touch Pro)

Hello.
I've got an MDA Vario IV, and I've tried to Update the Windows Mobile version from 6.1 ti 6.5. I've connected the phone via USB and the Update get started. On the display appears the boot loader with that colors, and after a few minutes on my computer display give's me an "Connection Error". The phone was so hot so I've removed the battery. The Phone was turned off and never come's alive. I've tried the Reset button, but no action. I can not power on my phone So please help me someone, I'm bagging You.

Welcome to forums
have a deep read here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael
Good luck,

Thank You...
I've got no help with this. If my phone doesn't even Power On

is it coming back to bootloader? Did you try low volume button+Reset? Dont panic, it happens sometimes, try to charge the phone in normal way see if that works, I dont think so its anyway more than a software problem.
Let us know & keep following the WIKI. Good Luck.

No it isn't coming back to boot-loader. I've also tried the Reset with the other buttons but it doesn't worked. Some guys told me that I have to disassemble the phone and connect on the motherboard six pin with a J-tag cable and than is should connect to the computer to rewrite the prom and that re-soft the Windows Mobile.

I wudn't suggest you to do that. Dont you have warranty? If you dont have we can do some other thing, did you keep battery off from phone for few days?

No, I've got no warranty any more. No,I didn't tried to remove the battery for a few days, but I think that maybe is empty because I didn't connected to USB or charger for a few days. When I tried to power on the phone the battery was certainly full, I'm sour of that. And some people told me that the phones with Windows Mobile can not be charged to USB if is really empty, it should be charged by charger, but it doesn't work like that. Any ideas? I really appreciate your involvement, so thanks.

[Q] TF101 original Charger Burned tablet

Hi guys,
This is my first post! in this great forum!
CASE:
I have a TF101, one day i broke part of the USB cable, and obviosuly it stoped charging.
So i went to amazon and order 2 USB cables (amazon from navitech)! one to use with my desktop and one for charging and stuff.
Wehn they arrived home i tested them and i was GREAT:victory: so i went to bed start playing around with it and let it charged until the next day, and i was also downloading a game and a torrent.
When i woke up... the charger was smelling burned and the tablet was not showing nothing...
My first though was: ok the charged burned so the tablet must be OK and it has no battery bc what i left him doing drained to the last bit
when i went to test it didn't charged off course so i order a new charger (ebay 15v) what made me worry now... is that with this new charger it doesnt show nothign not even that battery sign with the little part in red...
Any positive thoughts? :crying:

any help ?

Sorry to hear that. I suppose you already tried the easy things... keeping power pressed for at least 10 s, using the cable to connect the tablet to a PC and seeing if it is recognized as a device and those.
I hope you can solve it.
