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
Hello,
My old Tornado had some battery problems, but i didn't suspect it was that bad until it turned off in the middle of flashing. So naturally, i'm stuck in bootloader...
I've retried several times and using USB from computer, after a full charge, it won't go past 25% of flashing (WM6.1 Pro ROM). I wouldn't buy a new battery since i only use my Kaiser, but i would like to get it out of bootloader.
I've been searching everywhere for a solution... Now i'm asking you if you have an idea, like flashing from the SD card, getting a light rom or something ?
Thanks
Hey there,
I am new at all this, but are you doing Format BINFS
Sounds like memory error (hdd error) so format binfs (not just FORMAT) would help.
I am sure you know this pic tutorial.

Thanks for your reply, i've been through all of this already (it's not the first time i flash it). My biggest problem is that battery life (idle) is around 10 minutes, and if charging with USB, it's only a few minutes more (it drains faster than it charges). Only AC charger gives enough power to charge it.
That's why i'm looking for a solution that allows me to keep it plugged to AC charger, or a way to start without the battery
Finally !
I've successfully flashed "WM6.1 Pro DIAMOND CZ,ENG by Veisen" in approx 3'30 ! I guess the battery had enough rest to sustain the flashing process.
Moderators, please close this thread
Hey before thread gets closed you might want to give aditional details to people who might get stuck as you did.
Hey guys...I recently upgraded my SDA to WM6 without any problems using Kar Hoe's guide. The only thing I noticed was that I couldn't connect to the internet via GPRS/EDGE (only WIFI). So I found a radio ROM last night and forgot to format BINFS before I installed it. It said it was successful of course but now I'm stuck in the bootloader. Here's the horrible part: The phone goes in USB mode for the bootloader, but won't connect to ActiveSync so I can't reflash it or anything! I really liked this phone and can't really afford another one at this time. I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks. I'll be working until 5 but will check back after that!
p.s.: When I installed WM6 previously, I DID app unlock it and make it SuperCID.

try mtty and and kar hoe`s guide
to Profy_X
Thanks for the quick response! I've downloaded mtty (similar to Tera Term huh?). Is it possible to copy the ROM image to the mini SD card in order to flash it? I have the original one for my phone and I tried copying the NBF file to the card via a card reader I have by Vakoss but windows won't recognize it. (due to its format right?)
I know I have too many questions but I need my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Thanks again!
I have the same problem and really looking for a solution.
The phone enters bootloader mode after pressing the camera button and inserting the usb cable. However activesync or anything else does not recognize the device. mtty and teraterm cannot connect to the device.
When I hard reset or turn off/on the phone, it keeps resetting itself after a couple seconds of booting.
Any ideas what I can try?
I fixed it...
I tried everything! I ended up extracting this fileTor_TMOUS_10140_191916_10900_SHIP.exe with winrar and running the RomUpdateUtility. Even though ActiveSync wasn't working I went through with it. It randomly worked though! So then I just followed Kar Hoe's guide for installing wm6. Now the only thing is that it will turn off randomly unless it's plugged in. And it's not the battery though. lol 0_o
To Burkay: If mtty or teraterm can't recognize your phone then the only thing you can do is copy the original ROM to your memory card and then flash it directly from the phone through bootloader....or at least that's the only way I can see since USB's out.
After an unsuccessful rom flash, phone always stuck to bootloader screen, it happened 2 or 3 times on my phone. In these cases ActiveSync couldnot recognized my phone (thru USB). But I always successfully reflash my phone just running RomUpdateUtility connecting thru USB. How come so complex in your cases, I just wonder

I agree. I just don't know how to flash from an SDCard. Do you have a tutorial?

Well...It might just be my battery after all (current surge or something). Because I tried 2 different wm6.1 roms and now am using Nitro's wm6 rom, and the same thing would happen on all of them (but less on Nitro's). It looks like if I do something demanding then it turns off after a minute or so. And there's no warning at all. It seems to try to turn back on, but fails. After that, the only way to start it is if I plug in the charger.
I'm going to order another battery from ebay and we'll see what happens I guess.
I hope it works!
@unforsakenrule: When i flashed, normally it takes hardly 10min, how your battery discharge so quickly. I tried most of rom found here now I stick to Kamikadze's 6.1 pro, it is quite cool and I don't want to back to STD.
Sometimes, flashing did not success and I tried again but I am always sure to be fully charged before start. If it stuck in bootloader charging is not easy. I sometimes use some crude method on my other phone, just connecting terminals of charger to battery directly using some wires, but it is really dangerous

That's pretty hardcore man! I'll try that ROM out and see what happens. In the meantime, I'm still waiting for a battery I bout on ebay. Thanks!
I received my new battery today~
No more problems since I got my new battery. The old one was a Sanyo and apparently had issues. The new one's a Celxpert. I'm now running wm6.1 Pro and it IS tight. Thanks for your responses guys!

Hi,
do you have the following problem?
Has your battery stopped charging by usb?
CAN access SD card from MAGLDR via USB to transfer files between computer and phone?
CANNOT access SD card from android via USB to transfer files between computer and phone?
CAN install roms via magldr?
The boot-loader screen only shows serial but Fails to connect via USB? as a consequence you cannot remove magldr or even update it
wondering why only magldr has access to USB?
please join me in a pursuit to find a solution and if you have it please share it with us
I use HTC HD2 LEO 1024, i have been forced to buy an external battery charger, my phone has magldr 1.11, my wive's is magldr 1.13 and both of them cannot charge via usb.
I found something related but didnt offer a solution since the uSB connection problem happened after upgrading to a new magldr

To answer some questions about battery charging whilst flashing in MAGDLR etc...
If you're anything like me, new to Android flashing and got into MAGLDR and CWM like a kid with a new toy... You may have completely knacked out your battery!
I've just bought an HTC HD2 and done just that!
This did my nut for approx 12 hrs lol, yeah it ran plugged in but everytime I took power cord or USB out it popped it's coggs! This concerned me in several ways, as I've been flashing for years and always heard flashing with lower than 50% battery was a VERY bad thing to do, so I was very hesitant in doing this, also there seemed no way to charge as every time I connected the charger it would reboot into MAGDLR 1.13.
With more read up on Hard SPL I thought it more likely it would be OK to screw about as from what I've read it's VERY VERY hard to brick an HD2.... BTW yeah I read all you experts 'READ' posts but none of you actually said it in 'plain English'!!
If your battery runs out whilst screwing about installing different Android builds and/Or playing with MAGLDR and CWM bits and bobs then don't worry.
Connect to comp, then goto the Rainbow screen (reboot with Vol Down button held down)
Find install of MAGDLR 1.10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893618) - install using RUU in the download.
When your phone reboots it will boot into MAGDLR 1.10, GOTO PowerDown, (last on list.) Power down and your phone will start to charge!! - Hallelujah!!!
Once you have full battery charge, reinstall latest MAGLDR 1.13 atm, and in future be quicker installing your Android OS LOL!! xx
Hope helps some people, if i'd had this post here I would have saved a LOT of time lmao!
D.
Thanks a lot! This saved me having to go and purchase a docking station to charge my HD2.
Thats what i get for attempting to change my ROM with 10% battery!!!!
WONT DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!

Hi. As you know, i had problems with my sdcard using CM7, so I started to look for good froyo rom. Then I saw rooted french froyo with bootmenu preinstalled. So I downloaded it and flashed through rsd lite (my battery was like 50%).
Rom didn't work, so I downloaded nordic sbf... while i was downloading, my battery run out. Now I cannot flash anything because when I go into bootloader it says "Low Battery, can't progress".
I tryied McGyer method (with usb cable, + to + etc. ) but it doesn't charge my battery. In my city there is no other Defy users. My friend own galaxy s, maybe he can help me, but for now nothing works (other batteries in SE Yari, K800, HTC Magic).
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS, MY MAGIC LAAAGSSS SOOO HAARD...
buy a universal charger! seriously it comes in handy in many occasions.
other than that, you can probably wire your battery to another external charger (lots of cameras come with chargers).
I have only mini-usb and usb plugs, dc in, something like Nokia Charger, I don't have a time to buy a universal charger, but if there is no other way to recover my defy, I can wait...
Try this:
http://translate.google.de/translat...05775-battery-low-cannot-program-umgehen.html
If there is something you dont understand ask me.
I have not tested it becouse i never had this problem.
Ok, I managed to flash new SBF, but to power up phone, I have to plug in usb cable really hard - it won't start without usb plugged in.
Also there is a problem with battery (doesn't show accurate percentage) but it's because mcgyver method and I think this thing can be solved by battery stats wipe.
Any solution for launching phone without USB cable?
mcgyver method should work, but im surprised you say it didnt. did you connect the wires correctly?
Of course I did, now it's charged I think, but I can't launch phone without usb plugged in (no matter is it from motorola charger or PC). It just doesn't respond. Also I have tried wipe battery stats but still says that it's 60% charged all the time. Can it be hardware problem?

Friend you need to Visit any local Mobile service centers they have got a method of making the phone on without battery. Carry with you the RSS lite Motorola usb driver and the sbf file and don't forget to carry the USB cable. Ask the person to wake up the phone with JAF and you are ready to go I too had the same problem but was lucky to have one friend to help me out.
