Stuck in bootloader, please help!

Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..

Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!

No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers

I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?

O2 XDA II Mini - Radio Stack Corrupted!

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone can help me with this problem:
I tried to update the ROM on my O2 XDA II Mini (purchased in Australia). I downloaded the Mini ROM (May2005) from the SeeO2.com website.
When I was flashing the ROM, the process failed on Stage 1 (the Radio upgrade). It asked me to reset the phone and run it again. I ran the ROM upgrade again and it succeeded.
Upon reset of the Mini, On the Splash screen, it displayed "NO GSM". The PDA worked OK, its just that the phone function didn't.
I tried re-flashing the ROM, but encountered the Wrong Country ID error.
After researching on here, I extracted out the executable files from ROM upgrade .exe file and then downloaded the MAUpdate.exe (or something like that) from here, I started the Mini into the Bootloader mode and ran the upgrade executable. On the screen it showed the current radio version as blank.
When proceeding to flash the radio, it would hang on 0% and eventually fail.
Can anyone help?? I just want to get it working, even at the factory ROM level so I don't need to send it away for repair
Thanks for your input!

I encountered a similar porblem with radio and eventually got it to upgrade the WWE 1.12.10 ROM on the FTP. Good luck

Hi robi,
what is the link to the FTP?
When I click on your link it just goes to: http://ftp./ which fails.

I've now got another problem.
I can't turn the XDA on at all.
When I connect it to my computer via USB, the LED comes on RED.
I can't turn it on using any of the buttons, even the soft reset, hard reset or bootloader key combinations.

LED RED means battery not exist or dead
Try to take off battery, and put it back again.

Yeah, thanks. After leaving it connected via usb for a few minutes, the LED went from Red to Orange, and I could turn it on again.
In my testing to get the Radio Stack reloaded, I took out the Radio NBF file and the other two stages of the ROM upgrade process completed successfully. When run in isolation, the Radio upgrade process still fails..
anyone has any idea about this?

yeah im having the same problem
all of a sudden my o2 XDAII mini started loading with "no GSM"
and i check my device information and there is no radio version
so when i try and update, well i guess there is nothing to update. so there is an error.
i was wondering if there was a way to install the radio fresh

Voltron,
I've tried different methods to try and upgrade or even reload the Radio Stack. I believe its a corruption as when I isolated the different ROMs and ran them separately, it upgraded successfully. it would show that the other components (CE and something else) were blank but that didn't stop the utility upgrading it.
I've just sent my phone off to MPS in QLD to have the ROM refreshed.
www.mpsqld.com, they are the only authorised O2 repairer in AU.

awwww
im reluctant to do so
because my phone is like two weeks out of warranty or something
so if there are other methods id prefer to do try them first

Help with Error 260 on Wizard update

Hi, help please...
I have Wizard G3 with TNT 5 Touch Flow and tried to update radio T-mobile UK 2.19 Radio Only. update went OK but now on loading I see HTC boot screen then it moves to TNT 5.0 screen and then fades in two minutes and starts back with HTC boot screen. It then circulates like that for ever without passing to the Today screen. On connection with PC for new update with any rom it shows: Error (260) update error. What can be done?

it's a case of bad flash,did anything during flash happened like lose usb connectivity,pc crashed,battery discharged or something like unusual ?
Try to soft reset and see if it works,otherwise you'll have to reflash to official carrier's rom in boodloader mode,
1. Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,shut down any firewall,disable any Anti virus,Reboot your PC.
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. On your PC Open windows Task Manager...>Tab Processes...>wescomm.exe...>End process
4. Power off the phone completely (Not stand-by,shut off completely),or you may take the battery out for few seconds
5. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC via USB cable and remove the dummy Sdcard or mini-Sd card
6. Get your phone into Bootloader mode (Multicolor screen) by pressing camera button + Power on button
7. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Be sure that your battery is charged over 70%)
8. "USB"will appear on the bottom of the screen of the Bootloader (Multicolor screen)
9. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
10.Never use Bluetooth sync for the Upgrade
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.Please be patient when you're flashing your device, even if 98%. It can wait a little bit, 5 ~ 7 minutes.
Don't cancell the flash or get the phone off the usb cable till it confirms "Congratulations" or stops with an Error!!!
Hope it'll work, Good luck

Hi, this is the first time i saw a Paki guy on this web. I know there is alot of talent in IT profession in Pakistan. Anyway its good to see u here and i got a relief that with the help of a senior member like you i can get my phone work again.
To cut the chase, I have X01HT by Softbank Japan. It is Herms200 by HTC Japanese WM5 ROM. I have installed Asukal's English MUI and it was working fine for me. Now i'm planning to visit Pakistan this month so i though to unlock the sim and i used Prof v3a to unlock. I've successfully unlocked the sim and i guess CID also. When i use some other carrier's sim, i can receive the calls but cant make the calls out coz Softbank rom has a security which comes at screen and ask for password and dont let me do anything on the PDA. After studying alot on this forum i figured that i need to change the rom to get rid of that password message. i used the Olipro's Hard SPL and got bootloader 2.10 Olipro. I checked the other necessary stuff and when satisfied i started rom update. I end up with the same message of Error 260. Now my phone has no OS and it starts at bootloader. i tried everything possible like i make sure to remove all firewalls on my PC, used all the versions of Activesync and everything possible that i could. I trust that there is nothing wrong with the ROM etc but it is with connection.
Now if i update to the original ROM, i'm afraid that it will also upgrade my Bootloader and could never be able to flash english rom. I'm really depressed for the last three days and loosing sleep as well. I trust that you or any other senior member can help me with this.
Thanks in advance and looking forward anxiously.

Farrukh, wrong forum.
You know you have a Hermes, then you should know to post your questions in Hermes related forum, not wizard.
denflorida:
Try to update other Radio-only ROMs in xda's FTP server.

Sorry Brother, i know i have herms but i couldn't find some related topic in herms and i figured that Activesync problem is the same in all devices.
Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply. I'll try to find some from Herms.
Thanks

8125 rom update
i have tried to do a rom update on my 8125 g4. i recently purchased it off ebay and i have two problems. the reason i want to update it is because when i try to enable the wifi my device freezes. the other problem is that i can not seem to get the phone into boot loader mode. i have tried :
-turning the phone off and holding the camera button as i turn it on.
-holding the camera button and pluging it in to a usb port.
- using wizard service tool to enter boot loader mode.
after each of these different attempts i had to either remove the battery for 3 secs or hold the reset button for a few seconds before i can turn it back on. the phone still turns and just i can not use the wifi

Yes!!! Thank you! your instructions worked for me and got me past the Error [260] with my 8125 .

Thanks! Worked for Topaz and latest radio update.

What to do??

I tried flashing Dutty's new rom released April 8th but it kept saying corrupted ROM image. I already upgraded to his previously released ROM. Well i tried a few times and kept saying corrupted ROM image, and i was stuck at the different color bar screen.
So next I tried flashing HardSPL, and that completed and worked fine.
Now after that i was able to get the ATT boot screen with the
R 1.58.16.27
G 25.61.30.03H
D 3.14.00.00
And thats where im stuck, computer no longer connects to Tilt? what do i do? how do i fix it?

go into boot loader mode. Hold down the camera button, and power on at the same time. Then try to reflash it.

I always delete the partnership with my computer and reestablish it after flashing or changing something major. Also manually going into boot-loader bypasses that relationship with the computer. Works for me but can't say it will work for you, just my $2c....

Thank you
the bootload mode was camera, power and reset button.
Never had the problem before, but now its fixed=)

Mna, are you using Vista & the Standard Extraction program it comes with?
If the answer is yes, you didn't READ enough. Many people had this issue until using WINRAR to extract the files. This is all over that thread, BTW.

Device Authentication Error

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I tried to update my HTC Wizard through Windows Update.
After the update was downloaded and installed it had to reboot.
But when the Windows Mobile screen appears, it gives me a "device authentication failure, Please contact the product manufacter. For reference, please provide your device ID.
Then a long serial of numbers.."
I tried to do a hard reset, but no result.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Regards and TIA
Rindert

never used windows update on the phone itself before so cant explain why that happened.
What rom are you using is it stock or one of the 6 or 6.1 builds.
might be worth flashing back to a stock rom if you can get into the tricolor boot loader mode as it doesnt sound bricked which would reset everything.
can you get into the phone with activesync to get at the files on the phone?

Windows Update actually WORKED for you? I have never even heard of an update being released via Windows Update on WinMo....are you sure thats what you did?

@ Funy
I have a MDA Vario, originally with WM5, but I've upgraded it to
WM6.
But never updated it to 6.1.
The problem is, I can't get into my phone through ActiveSync.
It freezes when the error appears.
Is there another way to get into the tricolor bootloader without ActiveSync?
@ ashashaur
Yeah, it did.
First the wizard (not the phone) checked for available updates.
There was a update available, so I tried to update it.
First he downloaded it, restart, and installed it.
When it was done, the phone had to restart, and after that, the problem occured.
note: I'm from the netherlands, so the grammar might be a bit strange...

Man, that is roayally wierd...as soon as I read this today, I hit me own phone upto the Windows Update page, and it promptly returned saying that there are no updates availible...I just dunno what to tell you...have you tried forcing your phone into bootloader mode?
