Help needed phone doesn´t not boot anymore

Hi,
I have tryed to upgrade my rom to a new version (Prophet WM5 AKU3.2 v3231). Followed the stept correctly, however my phone does not boot anymore. It gets stuck in the qtek logo (when it displays the AKU version i´ve got) and the sceen gets all shacky.
An addictional problem is because it is stuck at that point it does not connect to my computer....
What can I do to fix this, any good suggestions
Thank,
Sebastiaan

You should be able to enter bootloader mode by pressing and holding the camera button while you power on your phone. On the bottom left, you should then see "USB" - connect it to the PC and flash it again.
Had to do this yesterday after flashing failed.

thanks it worked

I-Mate Jam Bootloader & Connection error!

Hello XDA Nice Team !
By mistaken i wrote some file to my bootloader in my I-Mate Jam ..
That was after using the bad ROM : 2.03
it's the worst cooked version i saw !
Now my bootloader mode is working .. but no way to connect to PC with USB port ..
My computer does not recognize my Magican when plugged in bootloader mode anymore!
Bootloader Ver: 1.0
is there any way to fix or upgrade or restore original bootloader
Now i cant upgrade or downgrade my magican by any method
Noway to use successful connection with any roomupdate utility
Please help me to fix or restore my bootloader!
Thanks to any one read or replay or try to help or help me to resolve my problem
XDA lover

i'm sorry that happened mate...
i've had success with flash-from-bootloader attempts before, both on my Magician, when i accidentally flashed off of Vista and it'd enter the bootloader every week or on a reset using the reset hole, and also on my Wizard when i ignored warnings from WM5torage and it'd only enter the bootloader
what precisely happens when you connect to the PC, allow USB connections in AS/MDC, and let the phone enter bootloader however it does? i can just flash a rom from there, but i won't (iirc) get any reports of as recognising the device...

My experience:
1- when i plug my sd card into my jam .. usb not recognized in bootloader mood !!
2- when i use puty or roomupdate it reaches to USB> then when i type any command it does not respond !
3- i could do something .. i let my phone bootup and this i-mate logon screen stays 4ever .. i connected my ppc to pc and i could explre my imate by activesync ...
i could reach something .. when i explore my phone and remove everything from startup folder .. my phone boots .. and i can see start botton .. no touch alignment comes .. and everything works .. but.. screen is virtually reversed .. i can see the OK botton but i must click on the facing area and it be clicked ..
i think i executed some wrong hard SPL to my phone ant that happened >
is there any way to resolve this problem?
is there any way to erase flash on my I-Mate Jam????
is there any way flash my phone?
i also have prepaid JAFWM with pkey and USB cable .. no BOX ..
Help please!

that's messed up... howsabout flashing it at the point when the phone boots up? if there's an AS connection there, then it may work... i'd flash to an official rom though

Same problem , PLS Help !!!
Thx for help

You should check USB connection I think...
Try plug your battery out of device and wait a moment (e.g.10 minutes) and try again,sometimes it will be fine when you did this.

If your magician isn't detected at ALL by your PC when plugging the USB cable into it (i mean, no new hardware; no unrecognized hardware; nothing is detected in your PC when you plug the USB cable), and unless you had previously made a SD backup of your entire Flash with this procedure ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianSDflash ), then your only option will be to build a JTAG diag cable:
Here are some general directions / ideias:

How to build/run the JTAG: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DeadBoot

Some interesting stuff for debugging problems: http://pda2u.ru/ptopic205.html
For sure cotulla has one built so to test his ROMs + bootloader - maybe he will be willing to give you some directions if you run into problems, and above all, give you a prepared .nb0 (with the bootloader file) for your magician, which i do not know if there's one out there, extracted from an original ROM.
Anyway, you can always try and do it for yourself using itsme utilities. Follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=218643

Keeper,you're awesome! I'm searching for JTAG,too

Dear xiaojin1985 ,
Thx for your help, But unfortunately i tried your solution but it dosnt work !

Dear Keeper,
Thanks too for your help,
and i think the solution for my problem is one of the solutions you says ( How to build/run the JTAG: ) ,
but the pictures is not available anymore , so pls can you get the pictures ?

All the pictures are in here:
http://s218.photobucket.com/albums/cc23/alex_beda/ and in attachment there's a .mth file with all the pics built-in.
Don't take it wrong what i'm about to say, but in all honesty if you can't figure this out yourself (digging up the internet for the missing pics), i would suggest that you shouldn't try this, since this ain't easy at ALL...
Just to give you some ideias, it will require you to adapt your magician test point signals (TDO;TDI; nRESET; etc,)seen on the magician pinout pic to what is said; solder very thin wires (best done with a small hot air tip); fixate the small dip switch (micro switch) to be always on; keep the USB connected...idk... plus alot of other small details which ain't easy to accomplish.
Personally i haven't tried this yet but for sure it would work
If you decide to go ahead, please post some results!

O2 XDA Exec Won't Power On after Unccessfull ROM Upgrade

Hi...
I was trying to Upgrade my O2 XDA Exec Rom with Windows Mobile 6.5 by explode. The process went successfully till 99% and after that it ended up with Error. Then I unplugged my pda from the pc and tried to restart the device. I was surprised that the device did not respond to any of the following
Soft Reset
Hard Rest
Boot Loader mode Start (Bulb + Power + Reset)
It is totally blank screen whatever you do.
When I connected the device to the pc with usb cable, a Red Light is shown for 2 seconds and then goes off and a message comes up on the pc that "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED".
Then I tried to Remove battery from the device for a whole night and the next day morning i did all the above procedures again to get no results.
Kindly Help me out
Thanks
Dinesh Kumaar

I think you have been bricked your device...

if it's not recognized, remove the SIM card, the SD card, and on the PC open activesync and disable usb connections. for more info open this link

Try to reflash with another ROM
Hope it helped
And don´t forget to vote!

I had already done those steps to get no results.
its my badluck.

If you cannot get into bootloader and you have done the steps above, then you cannot flash to another rom.......it would seem you now have a paperweight im afraid

I am still not able to revive my device. I know that it is just due to corrupt bootloader but don't know how to repair it.
If anybody ever has solution for this... kindly let me know.
Regards

Have you tested mtty?
I would recommend to PM a chef on Universal forum
Good luck,

Mtty is not detecting my device
it says can't open usb port

One More thing I have noted is that when I keep the device connected with the pc, at a certain interval of about 10-15 mintues my device's Led shows RED Light for few seconds and then turns off followed by the the "USB device not recognized" on my pc.
I hope this can be used as a hint towards reviving my device.
Regards

have you followed orbs advise above and pm a chef on that section, they maybe able to help. From my knowledge (limited on that device) i ddont think there is any recovery proceedure that you have not tried. Have u downloaded offical wm5 rom and tried it. I know and appreciate that it will probably not work due to corrupt bootloader, but what else is there to do??
To understand more, what did you do PRIOR to trying to flash to 6.5.
Did you hardspl correctly? Had you already flashed to another rom and just felt like flashing to another new rom?? Give us more detail.

Thanks for your reply
I dont know how to PM Chef.
I had used 3 other Rom versions of WM6.1 on my device. They ran very much fine on my device. But When i found WM6.5 xplode, I wished to try that too. But the rom update procedure went successfully till 99% and after that it showed an error that upgrade was not successfull. I pulled out the device and tried to restart if by all methods but I wasnt able to power on at all.
Thanks
Regards

ok, goto the thread that you got the rom off, click the chefs name and you will get a menu there to send pm, do it, he might have seen a similar problem or know how to correct bootloader.
good luck

noup really no...
Is bricked
my bro has bricked an Universal and the same led turns red no power off no bootloar no power it means the flash chip is dead!
Sorry to heard that.
He waits too long for the upgrade it tooks at least 40 minutes
then ERROR... but you know... the batt was died in middle process ( th batt was ****ed up, it say full charged but no! it was on 60 or 50%) then the stupid thing is make a hardreset.. i told him dont hR your device... justa simple reste and reinit the process... and huh! its bricked.
if you are interested on sell your parts
maybe my bro want some parts.

my advice(similar to other people):
1. Charge your batery somehow (in other device or anything else)
2. put your devce in bootloader mode and connect it to pc - it wll be detected like microsoft usb sync
3. use mtty try difrend versions becuse sometimes 1.42 does not detect it properly - read here for what to do with mtty
IMO this may be battery problem or nand chip problem - in both cases it is hardware fail

i may have bricked my phone please help

i cant believe i did this but i have a sprint tp2 and i accidentally install the wrong rom, i installed 1.8b_Sense_2.5_2012_Full, and after the update the phone wont turn on so i cant even do the bootloader. and hard reset either, nothing is responding. is there any way i can get out of this with a working phone?? would the people at sprint be able to help? and please no smart ass comments im really bummed out about this right now

It should be ok if you only install a gsm rom. If you installed a gsm unlocker than it is bricked. Just push the bootloader buttons with the phone off. If it doesn't go to bootloader it is bricked.

i installed the rom but i think the damn thing CAME with the radio unlocker inside the rom. i cant get into bootloader...

please help

If you can't get into bootloader and it wont turn on it is bricked.

Not to hijack the thread, but on the subject of bricking the phone...
I tried to install Hard SPL using SSPL Manual (downloaded from a link on ppcgeeks.com). I ran it from the phone, and the screen blanked as normal, but no USB device was detected after doing so and the manual Hard SPL would not work either.
I tried to reset and remove the battery. The phone will not turn on, will not enter boot loader mode, nothing! EXCEPT for one thing, when I plug in USB now, it is detected as a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. No driver though (Win 7 or Win XP).
Is there any way to recover from this?

Hi, I have the exact same issue as the member above. I tryed to go to the ftp site you reccomended, but can't download. Can you please help! I cant sleep or think of anything else. Can't believe I did that to my phone.

go here and then to touch pro 2 stock roms. ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/

Thanks for the replies.
I can't load the stock ROM since the phone is not recognized by ActiveSync. While you can see it when you connect USB, it isn't actually usuable as there is no driver loaded for it. And many drivers I've tried for it do not work either.
I did try [to install the ROM] though just to make sure there was no magic going on behind the scenes, but no go.
EDIT: Grammer fix

[Completed] HELP!!! Unbrick Xperia S (bootloader problem no flashmode)

I have a Xperia S running cm 12.1 with unlocked bootloaders TWRP installed and i tried to partition my SD card [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584759] but clearly something went wrong and now the phone wont boot. I made a lot of research and tried everything but all the guides require to be able to boot into flashmode . My phone is dead the only sign of life is a red led when its charging which after some hours of charge will shut off. When the light is off and the phone connected on PC, the PC can recognize the device on unspecified devices (QHSUSB_DLOAD). i have installed all the needed drivers from Sony, google drivers from sdk, and adb drivers(adb wont see the device and i tried everything to do so, but nothing seem to work). I got a market for android on my pc called mobogenie that when i connect the phone it detects that a phone is connected but wont see what phone.The hardware reset buttons work but its useless in the current position. Concluding, the phone is bricked and wont open in fastboot-flashboot-bootloader-TWRP, its recognized as a device but not as "Xperia s" i got all the drivers and i want to flash the original firmware (already downloaded) to fix it. A possible problem is that the partition table is destroyed and after the flash it will hopefully be restored. The problem is not on the hardware but on software. I tried to trigger the download mode with the Samsung way (USB jig, 300k ohm ) but nothing happened as expected. Every solution i found required flash mode which is not accessible at the moment and i tried lots of things to go into fastboot(ever the rubber band trick,remove the battery etc). PLEASE help i dont know what to do, please help me flash it (i already got flashtool, Emma) or anohter solution. Thanks for the help in advance. (its my first thread in the forum, i hope to post it on the right section, i posted it here because i need the assistance of the developers i guess)

Hi,
You've asked in the correct section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s/help/how-to-unbrick-xperia-s-lt26i-tried-t3265523/
so I'll close this thread.
