T-Mobile USA (SP5m-QTek 8300) while i was updating my phone's ROM, the phone was broken and never opened again.
i was using Qtek aku2 ROM in the phone. i uploaded T-Mobile SDA II ROM (TE_TMOUK_101584_13145_0160_Ship.exe) to phone, it was uploaded successfuly, then i pressed to finish button and the phone did not opened again.
BOOT screen does not open, the phone is not charged.
how can i load ROM to phone?
link of ROM i uploaded: http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_sda_2.html
Looks like you flashed a UK T-Mobile SDAII ROM on your US Model.
The UK/EUROPEAN model is equipped with Windows Mobile 2003, the US version runs Windows Mobile 2005.
Imho, I guess you bricked your phone....
At the site below you can see it is for the Orange SPV C550 or the european T-Mobile SDAII

You can't anymore.
Send it back to t-mobile and let them flash it if they can, don't know if they will do it for free. Maybe they do it under warranty.
Don't know if you could JTAG the phone yourself, you could google for it
Eelco
can not I do it myself ?
can not I do it myself ??
You ruined your phone by placing a rom which is not suitable for your device, Maybe JTAG your phone is an option, you can do it yourself, but it's not easy. Use google to find any info on that topic.
Eelco
if he can find the jtag points, connect them in the right order, solder them to the TINY contacts on the board, make his own/buy a JTAG adaptor for a serial port, find a jtag utility that supports the ARM 926 core and then detect his processor and M-Systems DiskOnChip memory and THEN reflash a bootloader to it while also reassigning his IMEI and then flash a working OS to the phone then yes he could JTAG it
But as nobody:
1. knows where the JTAG points are
2. knows what order they are in
3. has done this before outside HTC
I'm saying send it back to HTC
Phil
BTW LordMayros, posting on both modaco and xda-devs wont change the fact you buggered your phone good and proper
Thanks for the info m012a9749

tell more about, cuz i got one that died also
Please post here if you resolved your phone.
Find a way to charge your battery. Get a travel universal battery charger (you can take it back for a refund after a couple uses ;-) )and charge up your battery just to be sure. Or borrow a motorola charger; it put's out 5.9v, as opposed to just 5v, otherwise phone can't charge from USB if phone is powered off). and give that a try, you'll know if a charging light comes on in a couple minutes.
Of course, all this will do is tell you if your phone's bricked or not.
For future reference, you should never flash any battery-operated electronic device w/o a full battery.
@ Phil:
Is there no ROM that can be flashed from SD if he can get power going?
Greetings... It's been only two days since I've bought my HTC Tornado (T-Mobile SDA). After unlocking it, I tried uploading different ROMs (i-mate SP5m, Cingular 2125, etc), just to find the one that suits me. Anyway, I found this T-Mobile SDA II ROM and without a second thought, I uploaded it to my phone. I didn't realize than this ROM was for the HTC Hurricane. After the "successful" upload, the phone went off! Now it does not boot at all, the battery does not seem to charge, I'm not even able to launch the three-colour bootloader screen (camera button + usb plug).
Can I upload a new ROM? Is there a way to recover my phone?
If the flashing stated it was successful then it should be. Try other fully charged battery.
Thank you for your quick answer. The battery was fully charged when I flashed the phone. Unfortunately, I found out that the "bad" ROM that I uploaded was for the HTC Hurricane phone!!! Is there anything I can do right now? Is it recoverable?
you *might* be able to recover with a SD card image, not sure
just connect your phone to the computer, turn it on, and immediately run a PROPER rom update for it, you might be able to get it back.
i did the same with a tornado rom on a SP3i (typhoon) and managed to get it back after a few tries
good luck
The problem is that I cannot turn my phone on. The phone seems completly dead. Just like having no battery installed (which btw is fully charged). I can't get to the bootloader (RGB) screen. Is it possible to use a SD card image? If I won't be able to update the rom, do you know if the HTC support can do it or should I throw my phone away?
dead is dead!
if the phone is under warranty , it should be no problem to get new one!
I didn't know that Hurricane can stop a Tornado ..well maybe it was just the end, and yes, if it still has warranty, use it.
Please observe Silence for 2 mins.

this is exactly why i get the jitters everytime i flash my phone... i'd rather do a hard reset. i'll only flash ONLY if it comes to it, when it comes to it; and if there's a new rom worth it (like the wm6 rom the geniuses are making here... can't wait 'til the 'alpha' comes out ^_^)

don't take it as a joke, and if i send to HTC?
Who's joking?
If that is the case, you might need to change the corrupted ROM chip, and usually they will change the whole mainboard, which is very expensive, not worth to repair
They asked about 600€ for the repaid, so I bought a new one (380€) and sold the broken one for spare parts.
600 EUROS for repair ? In my country, that is 4200 bucks, enough to buy a brand new O2 XDA FLAME.
A new one for 380 EURO ? You can get HTC Hermes with that amount in my country,
The repair cost in my country will definitely be lower than 100€, why not send it to me via courier, and see how much would HTC repair it here
yeah, sell it for parts and save up for the htc advantage ^_^

I have spv, but processor is OMAP710. Is for somebody spv (Canary or Tanager) his phone with OMAP5910 processor???
I read here: http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/HTC_Tanager
OMAP5910 datasheet: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/omap5910.pdf
Tornado have a 10 pin jtag connector!!!
You can find it possibly the jtag points with this software, http://www.c3a.de/wiki/index.php/JTAG_Finder
and with this hardware: http://www.xilinx.com/support/programr/jtag_cable.pdf
You must find TRST, TDI, TCK, and TRST must pull up VDD with ~200R resistor.
Good luck!
Great info, Dibi. Thanks!!! Although I have sold my "brick" for parts, many unlucky guys will find this information useful to revive their phones.
i flashed my blackjack over with the i600 carousel rom and it all went smoothly, i later noticed everything worked except for usb and bluetooth ive read around and noticed everyone mostly had just the phone not working but mine worked, anyways i tried to reflash back to my cingular rom and noticed it no longer said cingluar usb when i went into flash mode and the phone will appear for a short seccond as an unknown device on my pc and suddenly die. i cant flash back, i tried the flash fix rom and wasnt able to get anywhere with it without my phone communicating via usb. can someone help me my phone is useless now without usb/bluetooth
NOPE. there is nothing you can do at all. So say hello to your new brick. Someone did this in the excalibur thread. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO AT ALL. SHould have done some reading bro.

i did read plenty but i made this flash around the time the rom first leaked out so there wasnt a "i bricked my blackjack" post to take notes on. the phone isnt a total brick though, everything works minus the usb option doesnt show up on the connection setttings, and bluetooth doesnt work. i guess ill try to sell it on ebay or something
no conclusive evidence of i600/i607 working after this!
though some have suggested using a serial cable (probably a Samsung D820 serial cable) to connect to the pc instead of usb and then reflashing the original rom, there is no conclusive evidence of the phone working.
You can try your luck with the serial cable. I am looking to buy one myself because I did the other way around, flashed a i600 with i607 WM6 rom and I ended up having an expensive paper-weight on my table.

its shocking how a phone as popular as the blackjack has little to no scene action, if this was an htc phone someone would have found a way by now
Hi everyone,
Well, i guess it had to happen at some stage!!! I am having major problems with my Uni and i have no more ideas on how to solve the problem so i thought that i would ask all my fellow uni lovers and see if someone might be able to help this old man!!
The Problem: I cant download any ROMS onto my Uni..
What Happens: I place my uni into bootloader mode, i then connect it to my computer and it tells me that the usb device is not recognised and active sync then dissappears. Then when i run the upgrade of course i get ROM errors, i have had error 114, 112 and 113.
The Specs:
I am running windows XP, i have reinstalled and reformatted XP 3 times now to try and fix this problem, using different XP packages, still no joy. I have active sync 4.5 and when i go into bootloader mode my uni says serial and 1.00 at the bottom.
What have i tried: i have turned antivirus off, firewalls off, reinstalled active sync, tried different usb ports, talked nice to my uni, and damn well threatened it as well!! The funny thing is, i have been downloading ROMs onto my uni for almost a year and this is the first time that it is having these problems...
From my minimal knowledge, i guess its a computer conflict with my unu but i just dont understand why after all this time its decided that it doesnt want to play!! If anyone has any ideas at all, please go ahead and jot them down and i will try, i love my uni and i want to make it good again!! Luckily it still works fine!!
Thanks everyone for all your help...
I think you have a problem with usb port of your uni...
Have you tried to attach your uni to another pc?

Hi,
- indeed as "pranik" says, try a different computer.
- does activesync always work ?
- be sure before upgrading to UNCHECK usb connection in activesync.
- don't use a usb hub
- try an "old" rom, one which you know has worked before.
- try to upgrade the bootloader to 1.01 NOT 2... (1... is for G3 = your device, 2.. is for G4)
be sure to read the wiki first about upgrading your bootloader.
greetings,
Wout
when you connect it over usb, does your uni show "USB" instead of serial?
Thanks alot for the ideas guys, its almost 3am here so i wont go and jump in with these ideas as i am afraid at this time of the day i will stuff stomething up!!!
I havent got another computer here at home to try another usb port so i will have to head off to a mates place tommorrow when the sun comes up!! Active sync has and is working, no problems there, the Uni says serial when i am connected to the usb port, now that is wierd, it should say i guess usb, right? wrong? not sure about that...i will try bootloader 1.01 as well and see if that helps at all...I have tried three different ROMS today so i will try an "older" one tommorrow and see if i get the same result, which i think i will...
Thanks again everyone, i really appreciate it, time for me to get some zzz's.

the moment you connect it, it should change from "Serial" to "USB" on your uni. This happens even before windows detects and initializes!
try plugging it into an alternate usb port on your system...
Thanks dream, i couldnt goto sleep until i had tried the usb thing and i tried all my ports and it stays as "serial" rather than change to usb...i havent a clue why its doing that, any ideas?
Funny cos it works as it should when connected to active sync...
take out SD and SIM, and charge to 100% before flashing and try again...
You could also try to use different USB cables. Damn things tend to deteriorate over time, especially when there's a lot of plugging and unplugging involved. Had been in a situation like yours several months ago, tried everything you tried and after a couple of hours I swapped cables with my E-ten P300. That did the trick.

As mentioned in shomki's post above; try & take out the SD Card from slot, go to bootloader mode & reconnect the USB cable. If connection changes to USB then that's it. Otherwise, you may have defective cable, usb port, etc., etc.
Had that similar problem since SPL upgrade from 1.0 to 1.01 & the only way to get the Uni to 'talk' to PC in bootloader mode (only) is by removing the SD Card. Strange!!!

I cant believe it!!
Thanks alot everyone, i took the SD card out and it WORKS now!! Amazing how something like taking out the SD card can fix this problem!!!
Now I am off to try some new ROM's!! Thanks again everyone, its great to have so many friends who jump in when ever there is a problem to lend a hand..
Great!
Just curious, what Uni variant do you have? O2, Voda, Dopod, etc? Is it a G3 (bootloader 1.x) or a G4 (bootloader 2.x)?
I had that very similar problem after applying super cid / sim unlock to my G3 voda Uni! Looks like some devices react to hacks differently from one another. This is the second time for this voda v1640, the first one is unlocking the extended ROM ... the only one that works is the patched extended ROM unlocker.
No wonder that a certain ROM build works well for one device while not for another!
G'day rh,
i have the qtek 9000 and its a G3 mate..its strange because before flashing this ROM i was using Ivans and i had no probs with that ROM..so obviously there is some sort of conflict there..
thanks again
lol seems like you didnt try everything...
glad you got your uni back...
the new roms are really good (ehem especially laurentius and beast's)
good luck!

actually, its not strange at all.
the uni supports flashing via SD card also, not just USB.
inserting the SD while in bootloader probably makes it think you want to flash via SD, so it makes problems connecting the USB.

hi shlomki,
it is still strange for me since i flashed 6 rom builds already WITHOUT TAKING OUT THE SIM OR SD CARD before the problem occurred. that was before when i had bootloader 1.0.
the only common thing between kanass69 & my setup is both are G3 & both of us did flashed Ivan's ROM. i don't suspect Ivan's ROM at all as the problem but instead i blame my SPL upgrade or Super CID'ing the device since i did screwed up somewhere in the process.
i'm sure other than me or kanass69, some are still flashing ROM's without taking out the SD what more the SIM card without any problems at all.
Anyone who wants to start a poll?
cheers!
rhmartin
i hope you are not using a USB extension hub. plus make sure that you are using original usb cable while upgrading
well this should be a tip for everybody who'll try to change rom. unless you upgrade via sd card, always remove the sd card before upgrading. saves you a lot of trouble.
luckily i have been successful with all my upgrades/downgrades with jasjar, tytn and touch using vista.
Hi farehmani & lukeap69,
With all due respect you are both missing the point.
First of all the problem WAS already solved.
Secondly, as posted above flashing ROM with the both SD & SIM card can be done successfully as I've been doing, before the STRANGE problem appeared.
Finally, we are just trying to figure out how this could be possible when I'm very sure that not all who are upgrading ROM's are removing their SIM and/or SD Card!
Anyway, I guess everyone had made their point and let this be an information source for future reference.
Cheers!

i have just got a t mobile MDA compact V aka a HTC touch diamond 2? anyway so far its useless.. bluethooth link to pc offers nothing but a serial conection,and from pc to phone i get the networking and file transfer. what the heck? my old artemis (xda orbit) had alot of things like the wireless stereo, HID options etc. and as for wifi, it seems to ignore the fact its connected to my home network (although it says connected) when using programs that need to go online, such as copilot amd the windows update. the phone has been fully reset back to factory settings. so whats going on here? is it because its a t mobile one that half of these things arnt on it? i would of thought the orbit would of been the same since its an 02 phone but nope it works better than this one!
um hello? lol you cant tell me not one of you know whats up here? how the hell can a phone from 2k6 out do, and have more features than a 2k9 one. WHATS WRONG WITH IT!!! also note, im using the same pc hardwere to talk to both phones and even a back up XDA mini, both xdas do everything well.
now, if i was to flash this thing, possably update tyo wm 6.5 (6.1 atm) would it, A. get rid of the t-mobile branding and B. work as you would expect it to!?
stress levels reising. please shed some light on this for me.
tia.
i forgot to follow this up for you all.. turns out there was indeed an issue with the softwere, somone may of tampered with it before and mesed things up. oh well i sold it to the local phone shop for almost what i paid for it so no loss
