MDA blocked with USB/SERIAL V1.00 on the screen

Hi everyone,
i'm about to buy a mda compact. The seller says that he tried to update rom and the mda now is blocked with a screen USB/SERIAL V1.00
If I upgrade the rom how is described in the other topic is ok?
I had to say to know if i buy this one or no
I wait fiducious in your answers :lol:

HELLO
This device is only in bootloader mode so you can reflash it without problem.
There is a lot of topics in this forum to perform that. :wink:

I had to do a "simply" rom upgrade or some different operation? :?:
I have find that post on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
i had to what is described on it?

Beware though. I had once screwed my MDA during an upgrade and all it did was start iself in the bootloader mode. For some reason, I couldnt re-flash any ROM onto the machine and had to took it back to t-mobile and they replaced a new unit for me.

Mmm... this is a bad new... anyone help?

i had this problem too, all i did was kept trying to different roms till one finally worked
i Downloaded all the rom from the FTP site
1 finally worked then after that, i updated to the 1.12 Imate rom...
Can not tell you which one worked, but i had to copy it to a Memory card to do it
Maybe if you try the Windows Installers, 1 might work

hi Herian..
1st of all,as the guys said,ur phone is in bootloader mode....it's not a problem,so don't be affraid :wink:
if u have'nt performed a flash before,am gonna try avoiding u flashing unless it's the last resort...
so bro,do the following:
1-remove the battery and leave ur PDA more than 2 hours without battery(u don't need 2 hours but am taking it to the limit),so that the backup battery will drain,all old data in RAM will be lost...put the battery again...and:if it restarts and enters OS,then congratulations,but if it doesn't,so u have to go to step 2.
2-reflash ur device:
-althought ur device is a Magician(at least this is what i think),all the procedures mentioned in my post(here's the link :wink: ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25830&highlight= should work with no problem,the main difference wil be entering the bootloader mode,but since ur already in it :wink: ,it not a problem anymore,this is why you have to follow my instructions starting with step 2(the link,ok).
my advice for u will be to download the 1.12.00WWE ROM from the ftp,coz it's the last one,and good luck bro
tell us the news,or pm me anytime,it will be my pleasure to help u
RAGO :lol:

First of all: hello, I am new here
I just got a Magician (MDA compact) and tried to update it. But it failed and now it is in the bootloader mode. When I try a new update, it stops in step 1 after a few minutes. On the Magician you can see "upgrade radio stack, please wait".
Any ideas? I am a little bit confused, so much money and now it doesnt't work

hi COnker..
u must upgrade ur device with the right OS,ur case happens when u try to upgrade with a different OS(eg:upgrading a magician with a Himalaya ROM),but with the same operator(eg:i-mate jam upgraded with i-mate PDA ROM,u pass country ID error,and run ClearJmpCode.exe,and it ends by a dead jam in bootloader mode... :wink: ).
so my friend,what u have to do,is to go to ftp,and search for a ROM update made specifically for Magician(try 1.12.00WWE),then follow my instruction in the above topic.....
good luck
RAGO :lol:

Noway
I had tryed several times whit a lot of MaUpgrade(finded on the ftp site) but noway... The upgrade show me a window with the version of current rom and the version of the upgrade rom... but is empty! Then, if i click on upgrade, after a few minutes the mdac shut down and the program give me a 150 error... i don't know what i have to do...

I have read in some post here that is possible to do a backup of rom on sd card and to restore it.
If some good guy send me his backup files can i relive my mdac?

Hi,
I had the same problem but i have found a way without upgrade it.
1. pull out your battery.
2. put in your charger ( not usb )
3. put in your battery and then again pull out your battery and then again put in your battery.
4. now you will see the phone is starting up and if you have calibrate your screen and the rest the phone gonna install allot of stuff but when its installing everything pull out your battery and charger.
5. put in your battery and press the power button and congratulations your phone is working again.
sorry for my english i am from belgium xD

pm300 help

hi everyone,my problem is that after uprading my pm300 it stuck into bootloader any idea on how to solve this problem and is g4 i realy need your help urgently thx in advance

What ROM did you upgrade to? If it was to a WM6 ROM using the "new" upgrade method, you may have failed to hard SPL your device. What ever the cause, the solution (as ever) can be found on the wiki.

yes you are right i didnt HARDSPL my device befor updating with (ROM
MY GREEN EDITION WM6.1)is there any hope that my phone will come back to live,by the way thx for the reply

If the device can get into bootloader, it should be possible to recover it In my previous post there was a link to the wiki page for recovering devices from bootloader. If you want any more info, I'll be happy to try and help...

thx for the quick reply but my problem now is if i connect the phone i can see the usb on the screen alright but the computer doesnt sync it and if i go ahead and update the rom i get error make sure the usb/cradle is connected properly i dont know what to do plssssssssss i need help to revive this phone thx in advance

thx mr 13v5y for your help my is alive and working like never before thx to you once again i rely appreciate the help you gave me more greep to shoulders ve a nice day

No problem! If you ever have any issues, take a look at the wiki first though

I double posted! I blame Linux!

Things that will help others help you:
1. where are you located?
2. who is your provider
3. what ROM WERE you on?
4. ok - you had a phone that was working - and you did:
a. what did you do first?
b. second?
c. etc.
Your message KINDA indicates that you flashed a ROM and had issues - so you THEN flash HARDSPL? was that successful?

OK - I do not think that you got the HARDSPL installed on your phone correctly - BECAUSE - I believe that it would say OLIPOF or JOCKY on it and it does not.
I have not seen the new HARDSPL 328 and 329 but it LOOKS like to me that you did not successfully get the HARDSPL on your phone.
Personally - I would scan the message boards for GSLEON3 (user name) and send him a private message - there are many others that can help you and he or others MAY come trolling by and take pity on you - but at the moment he is the one that helps people in your situation the most from what I have seen.
I would NOT continue to work on it myself as you can definitely mess your phone up permanently. Does your phone still go into boot loader mode? If so - can you flash the required HARDSPL onto your phone?
Find a message that GSLEON3 has left and then lik on his name and send him a private message - he is very nice - BUT - he is VERY busy - continue to be nice and he will most likely get you back and running.
Bill

first of all thank u for the help
but, wich one i need? 28 or 29?
and how do i do this spl if i cant copy them to my device.

Danny -
Deep cleansing breaths here ok?
1. personally - I would PUT BACK what ever you had on your phone and get it running again - trying at this point to get ot to go to a different ROM is not a good idea right at this minute.
2. 28 and 29 from what I read makes no difference - users try each one to see which one works better on THEIR flashed ROM.
3. What I would do is look for the HARDSPL that goes with what you had loaded to begin with - or the actual SPL that came with your original ROM and put that one back.
I would be stuck here because I have to use JUMPSPL on my phone because I get the white screen - but I THINK that (don't quote me because I do not do it this way) if you don't get the white screen you can just flash the HARDSPL to your phone without JUMPSPL (having to be able to copy something to your phone.
HOWEVER - if you cannot or do not know how to continue from reading the WIKI - you MUST request help from a professional - I have already recommended one. (GSLEON3)

my active sink is not seeing the devais, maby MTTY? wil help

Click to expand...

Based on your current track record, I wouldn't suggest you use MTTY as you have a VERY HIGH probability of bricking your phone (ie: it won't ever be usable again).

so im fu--.

Can you get the phone into the bootloader mode? Turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to) then press and hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You should get to a tri-color screen (this is the boot loader). Now plug in the USB cord and see if it switches from saying Serial to USB. If so, you can try flashing AN OFFICIAL ROM THAT WAS MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE (ie: Don't try to put an offical AT&T rom on an Orange). When you run the RUU program it will tell you that you need to have ActiveSync working, but don't worry about that. If your phone in bootloader shows USB, you can continue on.
BUT AGAIN... You need the Official rom that was meant for your device. Since you are not HardSPL'd you have to do it this way.
If you don't understand any of that, or have questions, don't just try it hoping you get it right...
As stated previously, it would be well worth you time to get someone like GSLEON to assist if you can.

Cool. Glad that worked for you.... NOW, your next task is to read and understand ALL the steps before you try flashing a custom rom. HardSPL that sucker (but understand and follow EVERY step before you try that) and then you should be good to go...

my only problem is that their are so many strings of information and so many threads even wiki is confusing.
i will try to do this after i will make some order it all of this.

Not to be mean but if you have red Wiki and looked at threads here and they "don't make sense to you". You really have no business flashing a rom. If you don't understand what you are doing sooner or later you will brick your phone from your lack of knowledge and it will be no ones fault but your own.
I am really surprised people were willing to repeat what has been typed out hundreds and hundreds of times on these forums.

Help needed/installing CID unlock

Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum and wanted to seek advice from some pro's. I just bought a ATT/Tilt/Kaiser and I am trying to install a cooked ROM but I read that you need to first do a CIC unlock? Is this true? Well i tried both and everytime no luck! I connect to my PC with usb cord and when i try to install my activsync disconnects on its own. Well due to disconnecting it never gets to complete the download process(installing cooked Rom). My question is: am I doing this wrong? Why is my activsync connection disconnecting on its own when i try to down load the cooked rom? I really appreciate any help i can get. Thank you everyone!

STOP!!!!
BEFORE YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE ...go read the kaiser wiki and pay close attention to the rom upgrading section. Trust me it will do you great good and save you from alot of headaches.
Before you flash a rom you need to get a hardspl on your device. If you don't know what this is please don't do anything to your phone until you have done your homework, taken notes, memorized steps, and taken a 8 hour sleep (well maybe skip sleep).
and remember WIKI IS YOUR BEST FRIEND

Did you NOT read about JUMP-SPL ?
Try page 1 ( yes the very first page ) of the kaiser wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
All answers are here .

Hello, and thanks for you advice. Yes i have actually read about the hardspl,i downloaded: kaiser-hardSPLv1, but the issue still remains. My activsync connection fails as the hardsplv1 tries to install. I am not sure why i am loosing connection. I have made sure the connection from my PC and tilt via usb cord are pluged in well. Do you know what i need to do now? Thanks Mel, also would you mind calling me or can I call you for assistance with this issue?

Make sure U use olipro CID unlock or else u will be dissapointed ..

Help Flashing rom...

Ok so I have a HTC Touch Pro and eveytime i try to Flash my rom using the HARDSPL, I get a communication error that says, The Update utility cannot connect to your phone. The phone is active sync'd and connected. So I can't figure out what is going on. I hard reset thinking that would help but it didn't. Some one please help me, I just want my phone to run correctly with a new rom and this is driving me absolutely insane.

does it happen when you try to hard spl? or when you try flashing a rom after a hard spl

Hi,
Seems you run in the Firewall-error... disable (or shutdown your firewall) and try again.
Dirk

Yeah its in HARDSPL but it wouldn't even let me do a stock rom (for ****s and giggles i tried this)...never thought about the firewall ill be home in an hour and will try it out...let you know how it goes thanks for the response

I was wishing that it was that... I disabled my antivirus and my windows firewall was already off...any more ideas? Just to give you guys some facts
1. Touch Pro
2. Trying to use HardSPL to unlock my phone
3. When i try to run it recognizes what rom version I have and tells me what im updating to.
4.I hit next and it goes to the progress bar on the screen.
5. Nothing happens on my phone
6. Then hardspl errors out
???

can anyone help?

Hi again
I'm not that familiar with HardSPL, but .. do you need to run it every time you flash , or is it only the first time needed ?
And another tought ran through my mind : are you connecting your device directly to your PC, or via a USB-hub ? Hubs tend to be a problem in such ocassions ...
Dirk

thanks again for an answer dirk...You need hardspl the first time only, from there on you can just flash roms...I am also not using a hub...
Two quick notes... 1. I tried to use the cord that came with it to power an external hard drive and it didnt work...then i switched it to my 6700 mini usb and the hard drive did work. So I'll try that cord with my phone.
2. im going to try to do it on one of my clients computers also tonight.
I post back with results....
Thanks again

Kind of sounds like you don't have Hardspl on it. What does it say when you go into bootloader? GSM or CDMA Touch Pro ?

Ok it comes up with tri color bars for a half second then says...
Loading...
No image file!
Than it goes back to the tri color screen and reads as follows...
Security Unlocked
Raph800
SPL-0.37.0000
MicroP-Hermann (LED) V0C85
MicroP-Hermann (KEY) V0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20
Hope this helps!

Also its a CDMA... Sprint Touch Pro

Anyone have something similar happen to them while flashing?

After doing a bunch of reading I understand that the HardSPL didn't work...but im not sure what im doing wrong. I think im messing up the steps somehow?

Hi again
I don't think you're messing up steps... it looks more like messing up systems. Are you sure the ROM you want to install suits your CDMA-phone ? There are some basic differences between GSM and CDMA...
