BIGGGGG PROBLEM. STUCKED ON BL AND NO SERIAL MENTION - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

Hi! My old T-mobile Magician (bought in Germany) has decided to die... or maybe not. When I turn it on it stuck at the first boot screen where appears the OS, GSM references. When I try to put it in bootloader (3 colours screen) to try to install a rom, I get the 3 colours screen but not the SERIAL indication which I think its necessary to get it in USB mode to transfer data. However, when I connect the USB cable the USB appears in the screen. I try to install the rom I get a connection error.
Do you think that my beloved Magician is realy died or is it only a reversible hard attack?
Thank you for your help and opinions.

Can you see what version your bootloader is? Odd, neither mine or my uncle's Magician has a 3-colour bootloader (or any colours, speaking of colours).

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"

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
post
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.

Any possibilityto flash soft SPL(REverting back) from MicroSD???

Hi All,
I am havin Orange branded Kaiser.
All of sudden Sync not workin, so cant connect to computer, so I have decided to send it for repair.
But now problem is cant revertin back to soft SPL, Guys any Idea I can flash SPL through the MicroSD.
I am really stucked pls help me, will really appreciate
Thank you
sounds like your **** out of luck did you read the sticky on the top that explains how to do so? and maybe the rom you flashed was causing active sync not to work? was the phone charging? did you have the settings set correct seems like a strange thing to send a phone in for repair for to me
Can't sync is usaly a setting issue. Hard-Reset device first. If it still does not sync, send it back.

I completely agree, try other USB ports and try another computer.....
Thank you 4 yr responses Guys
I already have tried with diff. sync cables and diff. computers. I tried diff ROMs(includin HTC original shipped) as well but nothing happen.
It does charge the device perfectly but One thing is bit weired it is when you enter in bootloader mode(Camera+Power+Reset) on the top in tri color screen it shows the info abt SPL version and at the bottom it shows "Serial" and when you connect to PC with sync cable it shows "USB" and if you connect with power cable only it stays with "Serial" so at least device itself recognise connection type which is normal but doesnt connect with PC, there must be something blocking the connection in the device, what I think there could be a virus.
I am really in trouble, I desperately need original SPL to revert back 4 warranty
Pls help me
Thanx

Is my S200 beyond repair?

After I tried to upgrade the rom to WM6, my JAMin got stuck at bootloader. After that, I tried to flash WM5 roms without success and suddenly (after a reset) the screen became white with some horizontal and vertical lines constantly moving. I discovered that it was only the screen that was garbled as it still connected to PC, so I installed (without seeing anything on my JAMin) the NVID ROM trying to restore it. It installed sucessfully, but the screen remained garbled with the white background and random lines. I know it was sucessfully installed because I heard the typical "welcome" sound before configuration.
Do you know any way to restore the screen? Or must I send it to I-Mate to repair?
You can try and reattach the screen cable to the rest of the device, but this will boid any warranty you have, and may damage your device further. If the device is under warranty, I would suggest flashing the ROM the device came with (unfortunately the FTP server is down at the moment, so it might take some fishing around for) and sending the device back to get repaired properly.

Hi frd,
I have exactly the same problem!
Nothing , only the f*** white screen!
I can browse the device via active sync, can rcv calls but the white screen.
I have checked the ribbon connector of the LCD and make reflashing some ROMs but nothing.
I still wondering is it hardware or software problem!
Please let me know if you have progress!
Thanks
G.
Try to replace LCD module, I think thats right way.
It will be a hard ware problem. Probably the ribbon cable as the screen is showing something so it must be working at least a bit.
Hello,
i have the same Problem with my QTEK S200.
First i changed the Rom and it worked perfectly for two days.
Then i had to change my Sim card and after that the problem came again.
I tryed a lot of times to reflash the rom but the problem persist.
How can it be that it worked again for some days ?!
is it the touchscreen of the lcd unit i have to replace ?
is it possible to do it by my self ?
thanks for your help !
Hi everyone.
I had a similar problem an hour ago (Qtek S200 G3):
I Upgraded to a 6.1 rom and then to another, after that my device was stuck in bootloader(3 colour screen). Any 6.1 rom that I tried would install, but after installation device always boot in to the 3 colour screen.
I tried this original shipped rom http://files.mail.ru/HZUAH1 (it's WorldWidwEnglish) (to download just click the link "скачать" or the file name RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
) and it installed!!! It TAKES A WHILE TO INSTALL!!! But it worked!!!
May want to try it.
Hope this helps.
hello,
picture on screen was immediatly clean again ( bootload image ).
it was impossible to change the rom because i have a G4 model.
i flashed the rom with another french rom for G4 and it worked perfekt.
now i tried to remove the battery again for 3 seconds and now i have the same problem again. really strange ....
i tryed the same procedure again but no success.
I reinstalled differents rom's again starting always installation from bootloader.
After about 10 new installations i've clean picture again.
now i'll not put off, restart, or take of battery till one of you know what's the problem.
Thank you for your help !!
are you guys sure its not an intermitant hardware problem, it sounds like it to me. if yu were able to get a clean picture for a short time and now its white again, it cannot be the rom? As for replacing it, nothing is impossible and there is always ebay and google
QTEK S200 G4 CID unlock
How can I CID unlock a device that need´s that to upgrade the Rom?
Is there already any program that , Lockwiz dont do the job, can performe the unlock?
Thank you.
For G4 CID unlocking, you need to user Hard/Soft SPL.
same problem
my imate jamin got the same problem. it happens only and only when I remove the battery and when I leave it to charge for 1-2 days the LCD works again and show clear pic. any suggestion? activesync and &... are all ok!
Well, i upgraded to windows Mobile 6, but haven't removed the batterie anymore.
But i'm able to put it off now, what was impossible before.

Rescued Prophet (aka Happy Unbricking)

I am posting this here since there seems to be way too many threads around here all saying the same thing diffently yet in NO clear way that everyone can understand. I spent 2 days trying to recoved a Prophet from a bad flash.
Symptoms
Prophet stuck in Bootloaded (Tri Color Screen)
Prophet stuck in 2nd Splash (Usually Your providers Splashcreen)
Solution Read as (This is what I did to fix it)
Download a WM5 Prophet\Wizard Official Rom (I still own a Wizard so I used the K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship rom, the devices are very similiar concerning chipsets with the hardware keyboard seeming to be the biggest difference)
Extract the Rom (if it is distributed in an exe format with a tool like Winrar or 7zip)
Download the Prophet Tools Light package and extract to any folder . This contains both G3 and G4 RUU's (I can confirm this worked on a G4 Device)
Place the Official nk.nbf in the \Utils\Flash folder
Drop the phone into bootloader (Tri Color Screen) mode and connect to PC via usb.
Allow a few seconds for the usb connection to settle and run the RUU specific to your device.
DO NOT TOUCH the device or PC at this point. If your pc is a tad slow, go make some coffee and watch an episode of Big Bang Theory
This should now give you a shiny new (or old ) rom that is bootable which will allow you to upgrade your Prophet to any of the pretty WM 6.1 roms available.
Just a little tip:
If you are worried about messing up the device again use Alternate "Lazy tool" by dioxda. Its easy and it works !
I couldnt make this process any clearer if I tried
heeey...sorry but after this my prophet go death... i cant turn it on, and i dont know how but it seems that i cant charge it no more...
is death... can anybody help me how 2 fix this?
P.S.sorry if my eanglish is not very good.

Strange this worked perfectly for me, but when I tried updating to a different rom I got the same problem you are facing now. Just a quick flash on the screen and blue and red LED flash. If I plug it in it just sits there flashing the whole time. I am looking into this as soon as I get a solution I will post it here. Any help guys ?

If at any stage your Prophet fails to start properly or can only enter bootloader follow this:
* Download and install the latest version of ActiveSync (Google for it)
* Download and unzip an AKU2.2 (No Vendor) ROM for the Prophet-any AKU 2.2 will do-from [here | ftp://xda:[email protected]_NVID.exe] or [here | http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...=Prophet_ROMs]
* Within ActiveSync DISABLE connect through USB (Tools->Connection Settings->Uncheck Allow Connect through USB)
* Put the Prophet into bootloader mode (hold the camera button and insert the stylus into the larger hole next to the power socket)
* Plug the Prophet in via USB
* Run the RUU specific to your device (G3 or G4) from the AKU2.2 folder. If there is only one RUU, use that.
* When it has finished: disconnect the Prophet, and then re-enable the connect through USB in actyivesync before reconnecting the device.
==> if success, will going back into WM5 and then u can use the Lazzy Tool, look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547
choose WM 6.1 ROM, after u doing that step, u already done with the WM 6.1 SEMOGA SUKSES!
yes it works again ...
Help, please?
Hi guys,
I have a slightly different problem. When I turn on my Prophet, it is in bootloader mode, so I take out the battery, leave for 3 seconds, put the battery back in, turn on the Prohpet.
Bootloader is displayed
Plug into PC with Active Sync 4.5 running (USB disabled)
Windows makes the 'new hardware connected' sound
RUU shows USB in bottom corner
Run the NVID no vender ROM,
Agree to first screen
Agree to second screen
Click Next
Prophet turns off
Windows makes the 'hardware disconnected' sound
Argh
No Prophet, no phone - incommunicado!
When I turn the prophet on now, I just get the bootloader, then it turns itself off after 10 seconds.
Could it be a low battery? - How do I charge it? I have left it plugged in to the power all night!!!
Could it be a faulty phone? - I have been having random resets over the past 3 weeks or so and thought that it was the WM6.1 rom installed, so was trying to put WM5 back on to see if that helps. - I am beginning to think there may be something wrong with the device?
I am trying a few more things from this forum before giving up and buying a new windows smartphone!
Any help would be apreciated!
Regards Mike
Guess it could be a power issue. - I got further just now by using a powered cradle instead of just a usb cable, but still reset at 80% complete. Will leave the phone charging using a wall charger only for an hour and see how i get on with that!
Its Fixed!
Ok,
So it turned out to be a low battery. - I charged the Prophet up for 1 hour and then ran the re-flash and it worked perfectly.
Now I just need to get the Orange rom back on it so its back to normal - Not faffing with WM6.1 - will stick to WM5 as its much quicker and works!
Maybe I was a bit too fast in posting the problem!
Thanks
Mike.

[q] pda p 3300 sem boot loader

Good day if I'm in the right place, I would like to report a HTC P3300, was originally in French under the wm 5 it was in a Paris shop that I purchased it after a while I did an upgrade if I do not mistake by HTC
and stayed for so long with wm 6, later began to check websites and forums on new roms, unlock the USPL and installed several versions until I found one in English to 6.5.5 was the most beautiful and functional I found
is provided by MMS, but look great i found another more beautiful, but asked to switch to the USPL ELF_USPL 1.17.000 AND SYSTEM accepted and requested to download the Rom version 3.19.4.3 of WM_23138_FULL_UPLOAD,
there was the biggest blunder I made, but the process has started arriving around 3% of the process was interrupted and the screen of the P3300 is gone along with all the leeds yet energized with the bottom of the screen a little clearer when it rebooted already returned
with the screen totally black and no longer lit leeds, I tried all the processes of red soft reset and reset all, when you go to boot loader it does not appear, but charges the battery by USB and wall fountain, if you connect the USB cable PC and PDA hear a beep
strong on the PC that is characteristic of the PC found a device, leed top of a wink and just, always black screen, the icon appears as POCKET PC USB SYNC but
IS NOT NOTHING MORE, BEFORE RETURNING TO A WORKSHOP which is 700 KM from me would like to know of you who understand this system, I think he lost the firmwere the rom and would like to know what and how it is being reset firmwere the tools with which to do it, if I could at least enable the boot loader would have a hope that he does but not all, the sign of life that is left is only the flashing red leed upper right when you insert the USB and appears Icon on the PC and when it introduces the USB wall fountain, but Windows Device Center does not recognize, do I have any hope? Greetings to all who can guide me, thanks.
