Recently screen of my qtek started to act werid. It was dark like only a half of the pixels flashed. I thought that it is a software problem because up to that moment phone worked just fine so I tried to flash it with a new rom... and I failed... about three times... now my phone is dead and i can't even charge it - no reaction (not even a light). What should I do (burry my best friend?) ? Can anyone help ?
If you cannot charge it you wont be able to flash it again since it is not allowed under 50% of the charge. I advice you to insert a charged battery. Got any friend with a prophet? then reflash it again, doing the whole procedure described in some other posts like:

you can find some roms there too

I have a XDA Neo German version IPL/SPL 2.15.0001. I tried the Qtek rom with no vendor ID (Qtek shipped rom + noID.exe from Dopod noID version) and it stopped at 1% saying that the .nbf image was not made for it (but it was). I never unplugged the cable and it stayed with the 1% progress bar for a few hours. After that, something strange happened: it started flickering in/out of the bootloader mode. The frequency of the flickering increased and now the bootloader appears after a greater period of time and it stays on for 1-2 secs. What do I have to do? As I am affraid of unplugging the device (it's not even mine ).
P.S.: I tried several times to run the updater again and again, but with no result (it said it was not connected, though for a short period of time the USB icon appeared while in bootloader mode). While in bootloader only IPL & SPL fields appear, not the OS... Is this normal?
Many thanks... Urgent action needed...
hi,
try to set in bootloader and reflash with on old version of rom.
This was already an older version... And it doesn not respond to the key-combination commands (with the cable connected) ... What shall I do? Because I dont't want to unplug it and render it dead...
I solved the problem
I replaced the battery with another one without disconnecting the device. The odd thing is that the battery was 0% charged, though at the beginning of the upgrade it was 100%...
I don't advise you do to the same, as I don't really know the cause of this event.
P.S.: Use the Dopod Asia NoVendorID rom!

I didn't say that... It's obvious though: the AS connection is cut off... I emphasized the idea that the battery was deffective and discharged rapidly during the first minutes of the upgrading (when the device works solely on battery power, without being charged)... Did you get my meaning now?
my prophet cant recognize the battery ....i can turn on the device sometimes and when i go to seetings\battery\it's 0% i have alredy try other batteries that are fine in other devices ....i try to flash the rom but the update utility cant recognize the battey and dont let me flash it help please....

the device dosent have the right drivers for the prophet because the rom get an error while flashing
Have you flashed a ROM before?
If the battery is not working in your device, try checking the connections. There are no 'drivers' for the battery, I can flash a ROM in bootloader after flashing a ROM with nothing in it, which means that the RUU is using the hardware rather than software to determine the battery status.
i cant flash again the pro+het because the update utility verify the battery status and then give an error because the prophet doesnt have more than 50 of battery . . . help please
My prophet had the same issue in the past weeks.
I had to restart several times until the phone recognize the batery.
The issue is not only at the OS level because even with the phone turned off it was not able to charge (you can see because of the orange lid).
Sometimes the phone just stoped recognizing the batery and the charge value just stops decreasing.
My guess is that this is related to some ROM's i've been testing, have you switched ROM in the past weeks?
Last night i started using iProphet 1.0.2.3 (sounds familiar? l3v5y) and until now i'm not having problems. (Just appears to consume a lot of batery but ill confirm this in the next days).
The battery drain may be because of the camera. but you can remove it if you want. (it is an installed app)
I think the issue is to do with the hardware, and so upgrading the software will not help. If your charging circuit is damaged, the battery will not be detected. If the device is under warranty, I would suggest getting it repaired...
I've just been looking at the Universal Wiki and I may have a solution:
Solution 3: Recalibrate the battery (2)
Charge the battery overnight with the supplied poweradapter, not with the USB cable
Drain the battery without SD-card, powersaving off and backlight on full
At some level, the device will turn off. Switch it on and go to the bootloader and drain the battery until it's really empty
Charge the battery again with the supplied poweradapter
The idea of this is to completely discharge and then recharge the battery, so that the battery status monitoring system in the battery is reset.
I had a same prob, tested with new battery problem continues...

Hi All,
After installing Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.69.21.exe onto my QTEK S200 it's completely dead. I cannot start it up anymore, even with the battery connected to power. The orange charging light doesn't even go on. I don't get anything here, no QTEK screen, no boot, no nothing even after pressing the button for several seconds.
Anybody knows what happened? Is my battery dead? When I connect the QTEK to the power supply without the battery inserted, the light flashes red for a short second and then... nothing... The battery was almost fully charged when I started the upgrade. IPL was at 2.20.
euh... help!!!
I've already opened a thread for this but anyway... help help
I'm afraid i cannot help you much...
When that happend to me i just made several resets and tryed to start charging until it worked.
After that i've changed the ROM i was using and my batery seems to work better now. Sometimes if i overclock it stop's getting the correct batery values but never stop charging like it used to.
Try charging with diferent methods, a couple of times i was trying to charge with the standart (power line) cable and only worked if i used usb connected to my pc. Maybe a different voltage worked... i'm not sure.
Best of luck

Hi!
I have a HTC touch Cruise for about one month now. Starting with last week it started to say that the "main battery is low, device will close" even if the battery is charged (even pluged in). I tried soft reset, battery out, hard reset, nothing. So I decided to reflash it. Now, it gets to the Windows start up screen but after I can hear the sound for turning off device, and the phone turns off for no reason and without a message.
The original language was french, and it was flashed with a english version and olipro spl.
Does anyone has a idea how I can recover my phone ? I have tried to load several roms, none of them worked.
Please help,
Thanks
I have the same 'Main battery is very low' problem on my TC, even when the battery is almost full. I have this issue on Bepe's ROM, ASerg's ROM and also on the official HTC WWE ROM.
It occurs frequently when I soft-reset. When it happens, I can only succesfully start my phone after completely charging it (LED turns green).
I think it must be a hardware problem in my TC. Switching the battery with another TC-battery did not fix it.
Can't you use your phone at all?
Seems like I got the same problem as you guys http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402765
Any solution yet?
Is it the same on your side, that when you boot up with the Charger plugged in you don't get past the first splash?
hellow to all . i resently installed wm 6.1 on my wizard and eventualy the battery ran out ,so i connected the charger and to my suprise it did not charge so i tryed with another charger and the same result. the thing is it was working perfictly with wm 5.0 and ever since wm 6.1 this happend.to do the install i used awizard to do the ulocking bouth sim and cid then i down graded the IPL and then flashed the PTG rom and it worked perfectly intil the battery situation.when i plug the charger the red light turns on but thats all it does , and it stays that way for days in a row . ive tryed two diffrent battries. can any one help or give any ideas on this situation, thanks in advance.
Most likely you have flashed a G3 IPL and SPL to a G4 device. If it is the case, then sorry that you've got a brick.
the device is a g3 and ipl spl is g3 the olny thing im not sure about is the rom,here is the link from where i got it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...d=1#post2601705 , can any body tell me if g3 or g4 rom...thanks
please post the full link, its not complete..it gives a 404 Error
There is no G4-only ROM, all custom ROMs now are G3 and G4 capable.
Try to press the reset hole and see if it goes to RUU or not. If it still doesn't power off even though the charge light became green, then there may be a hardware error.
the problem you are experiencing imay be the amp on your charger.
Only an HTC wall charger can revive a flat dead battery.
This charger should say that it is 1Amp (1000ma)
If you use a charger from a motorola/blackeberry/USB charger it will not help you in this case.
Check your amp.
If you do not have an official wall charger, then the only way to revive is to get a new battery
yes i agree with SVI, because i myself faced this probm, when i got a new batt..i had to charge it fully firstt :/ but i went on with the upgrades..and the batt died on me..i used a motorola v3 charger but didnt work..then i went to the shop owner to replace it..and he said that there is a special chargers for these HTC phones, i bought that and its working perfectly now
hey guys thanks for the replies and ive tryed all those solutions ,the wall charger from my htc trinity and the wall charger from the qtek wizard it self and neather do anything.
the only thing that dose work is putting the battery from my trinity and holding it with my hand in place. it turns on but it dosent stay on for long .
it turns off in the following maner the screen starts going white and it stays that way.
i tryed going to bootloader mode and i succeaded but then it turned to the white screen.
changing the subject the IPL is 1.01 and the SPL is 2.18 the rom is a 6.1 ptg rom here is the link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2601705&posted=1#post2601705 this link works i tested it. can anybody tell me if this rom is for g3 or g4 devices, the device with wm5 works fine . or can it be from the IPL and SPL not being the same. can any one tell me why this is happaning iv flashed so many devices and never had this problem . i my self have a qtek magicion, a htc trinity and a qtek prophet. well hope for some help thanks again.
Yes, first step is to ensure that you have a fully charged battery, a new battery is not fully charged so a desktop charger will be helpfull.
The IPL SPL difference is discussed by Dr Puttingham post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 step 16
"Watch the rebooting of your PDA, if BOTH IPL and SPL are 1.xx then great. Quite probably your IPL will be 1.xx and your SPL will be 2.xx. Rerun the button 1.05 ROM downgrade a second time and it will become 1.x on both IPL and SPL. You don't need to redo the unlocking."
Hopefully you can maintain bootload (press and hold camera button on start-up) with the new battery

Its sounds like a battery drain partial brick. Under normal situations, the phone will shut down before the battery is completely drained. This is so you don't end up with a completely dead battery. Sometimes, like when the phone is frozen or at the bootloader screen it will run itself completely dead. It sounds to me like you have a completely dead battery. To charge under normal conditions, your battery has to have enough juice to boot the phone one more time. See, when you plug your phone in, if its not on, it will turn on. During boot, there is no connection between charger and battery...the battery has to have enough juice to make it through boot at which point the phone enables the charger. The way I fixed my battery brick was by cutting the end off of a usb cable, striping the wires, and jumping a charge onto the battery.
Please refer to this blog for a description of the steps involved in this process:
http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/06/htc-wizardcingular-8125-dead-battery_21.html
could be as stupid as the ongoing connection initiated by activesync:
check the schedule settings and change it to manually.

Hello,
i have a brand new o2 XDA Touch pro. After trying (unsuccessfully) to remove the CID to flash the original HTC Firmware (the O2 Firmware was lame), the XDA went off and is completly dead now. The last thing I was able to see was a strange display behaing (some strange look and fading off).
The phone does not react on pressing the Power-On Button! No reaction!
Can anyone help me or has anyone a hint how to hard-reset the device?!
So far I remember there was a trick by removing the battery for about 24 hours (this worked for my older xda mini s phone). May this work for this phone, too?
Please help me!!!
Best regards
Gabriel
Did you try the old tric to remove the battery and then put it back in? When you do the Hard-SPL it would remove the CID lock. It would seem to go dead and unresponsive as happened with mine. I just removed the battery and put it back in and it powered up fine. Checked the tri-colour boot screen to make sure it was done. It is in the thread for flashing your first ROM.
Hello wildcard,
thanks for your reply.
I already tried removing the battery. Yesterday I tried for about an our and completly off power (no USB Power or PC connected). Still no reaction after trying to power on with battery plugged.
I'll give it another try in about a few hours after leaving the phone powered off about 12 hours. So far the phone seems completly dead! I would be glad even to see any light / display going on with try-color mode, but anything keeps powered off after battery connected and giving the power-on button a try.
Best regards
Gabriel
UPDATE:
Phone still completly dead / no-power on possible after 12 hours power-off / no battery!
Tried several key-combinations for soft+/hard reset with battery and/or USB-Power even with plugging in while pressing the keys including power-on. NO Reaction
How can this be??? May it only be possible to send it in to O2?
I was unable to complete any CID unlock / HTC Firmware update on the O2 device. They stuck always on 0% or failed before this step and until that time the phone always rebooted into WM6 after battery removal. So I don't think O2 could blame me for doing anything wrong... and I don't understand why there is not even Power for Bootloader mode possible. I don't think that any software could harm the hardware in such a way that not even power-on is possible??!
Any ideas of developers to reanimate the phone? I will try keep power of for a few days now until I go to O2 with the phone...last try. For a XDA Mini S i owned once (that phone has been unlocked too), this worked once it had a similar failure... maybe I have luck in 2-3 days with my TouchPro phone.
Best regards
Gabriel
I am thinking that you may really need to send it in to O2. Might be your best bet, let's hope some one more ducarted than I am chimes in.
