Rom upgrade problems, HELP Please.

I was in the middle of a rom upgrade with my magician and the battery has died now after trying to reupgrade with the original imate rom, it gives me a country code error. When I use get device data and view the devicedata.txt file all I get is 2 little squares where there was the operator ID. How can I reinstall the original rom from Imate and have it overwrite the operator ID on the device so I will except the upgrade. I have tried this via SD and with the original upgrade but with no luck. Help is really need please. I know this can be done I just aint sure how to go about doing it. It happen to be with my Qtek 2020 when upgrading to the 2.20 CHS version it changed from Qtek to o2.

PLS HELP! Vodafone V1240 Dead!

Hello! i have a vodafone v1240 (qtek 8310) and i tried to update its rom and got stuck at 73% for hours. finally i unplugged it from pc and when i reset the phone it shows me just a white screen and i can't shut it down i must take the battery off. it doesnt want to connect with the pc again, in activesync wont recognise it. can u help me pls to get my phone back to life?

i suppose you have new a paper weight now .
cant guarantee but some people have recoverd the phone from this state.
what rom did u try to flash?
Ill suggest you try getting in to the bootloader (Plug the usb ,press and hold volume down and the press the camera button). If you see a 3 color band. Then way to go. Just flash the latest vodaphone V1240 rom

it doesnt want to work that way, it's not responding to this key combination. i tried to update with the latest update rom from vodafone vf-uk_v1240_aku2_v254832_ship.exe and got stuck. someone told me because it was slipped off and can be some hardware failure(i just got it repaired, the display was broken and had to be replaced) but it was working just fine after that, the win mobile 2003 second edition was good just that I want to update to the latest version from vodafone.do you have some other method of ressurection ??

I just read somewhere that from this state cannot be recovered (white screen of death) and my bootloader is crashed.
do you have knowledge if I can repair it by replacing the rom memory phone with a new one ?? (of course, at an authorised qtek service)

is your phone still under warranty??
may i know where do you stay/which country???
allow me sometime to check what part of the rom is flashed first.
That's because as you said your flash was stuck @ 73%.
if the bootloader is flashed first then it might be recoverable(can't guarantee though!), if its flashed at the end then you might want to get it repaired from a authorised repair center , trust me it will be costly as buying a new phone!

my phone has no warranty. i'm from romania but the phone was bought in italy. so can u tell me if the bootloader is still good? and how can i get in?

it was working just fine after that, the win mobile 2003 second edition was good just that I want to update to the latest version from vodafone.do you have some other method of ressurection ??

Are you sure its a Tornado, i did not know that any Tornado shipped with WM2003SE.

yeah maybe he had loaded the inappropriate rom.

it's a vodafone v1240 (qtek 8310) ...the update was an official rom from vodafone exactly for this model. yes it had win mobile smartphone 2003 se

I sent the phone to a very good service and it cannot be re-softed. I think the rom memory on the phone's board must be replaced.
so... I'm looking for somebody who has a damaged QTEK 8310 (VODAFONE V1240) or a rom memory chip for this model
I will pay for it because I want to repair my phone!

Hi guy, it's nothing to do with the rom memory. The phone you got is not a real Tornado, but you tried to update it by loading a Tornado ROM, it's a dangerous action, it may damage the IPL and SPL!

yeah i insist. maybe he's just confused or what. his device is not a Tornado. it runs on wm2003se os.

ok let's get all clear here. it's a vodafone v1240 (search on google to find out more) and it is similar to qtek 8310. I tried to update with an official rom for V1240 its not an innapropiate rom or a modified one. Still looking for someone who has a broken VODAFONE V1240

It's very clear, you loaded an inappropriate rom, because your phone is not a real Vodafone v1240. A real Vodafone v1240 shipped with Windows Mobile 5.0, TI OMAP 850 CPU and Wi-Fi block, but your phone shipped with Windows Mobile 2003 SE, TI OMAP 750 CPU and without Wi-Fi. I give you some more information about Vodafone v1240, it's made by HTC, which is a mobile device ODM. The same device sold in defferent areas got defferent names.
Vodafone v1240 = Qtek 8310 = imate sp5 = Dopod 577W
As I know, Dopod 577W got a brother Dopod 577, which have the same specifications as your phone got. Dopod 577 or your phone can not load official rom for Dopod 577W or Vodafone v1240, because they got defferent board and CPU.

i think it falls in cases like in t-mobile sda(wm5 usa version). they also have t-mobile sda II(wm5 europe version) and t-mobile sda II(wm2003se usa version). they almost have the same appearance and form factor but different os. so if your unsure of what kind of device you have, check its system info carefully. but in your case i think you got the inappropriate ROM. unless you show us bits of system info of your device.
cheers

u know u got me all confused. so bluehanson u're trying to tell me that i have a Dopod 577 with Vodafone label on it, who looks just like V1240?
the model is this:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=471
but it had on it Win Mobile 2003 SE cause I checked before the crash occured.
the rom i was trying to update is vf-uk_v1240_aku2_v254832_ship.exe

based on your link, it is indeed a wm5 tornado smartphone. the rom you loaded is not intended for your device.

Maybe when the screen was "repaired" (as described in an earlier post), the shop just put in the guts for a 2003se edition phone? Perhaps worth checking with them?

ericjm so what's the real V1240 model designed for this rom? cause now i'm totally confused

i dont know what led you to believe it had 2003se,but all tornados are loaded with wm5... and i believe that its not the issue... i think sometime while flashing your rom your phone lost connection with your pc hence your phones curent state... cause you said it stopped at 72% or sumthing... when flashing even with the wrong rom it will go to 100% then not restart... stopping before it got all the way to 100% accidentally or intentionally could lead to a bricked phone... just my 2 cents...

Stuck at bootloader

Hi Everybody,
First of all let me thank in advance any help and expertise provided.
So the problem i need to solve is the following. I have the S200 (bought in germany, so it's the O2 XDA NEO), and as soon as i bought it, as it was in german, i managed to flash it with a rom in English (1.5 years ago)
Now, i tried to flash it with a Touch rom (don't remember which. PDA VIET? maybe) and it didn't work and now i'm stuck at the bootload with the current message:
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.20
I've tried several roms and some (apparently) flash but then get back to this bootload screen, others don't flash at all.
Anyone can help me then solving this? I'd like to install one of the Touch roms, if not possible just bring it back to life with any WM5 roms...
Thanks in advance again
Cheers

Search for an official WM5 ROM like from o2 or Qtek! Connect your Neo via USB to your PC and start the update process! That#s all to bring your device back to live!

Thanks for the quick reply, but i tried this already but it doesn't work as well. I did somehing to the SPL (i was doing it a bit blindfolded as i'm quite newbie in this) and i think that's why i cannot flash anything anymore, not sure.
Is it normal to have SPL 2.20 (no other digitis after the 20)?
ANd to bring it back to life, do i have to install one of the original roms? can't i simply install the Touch versions?
Thanks again
Cheers

Try a really official WM5 ROM, like from o2 Germany! And when I correctly understand which Touch ROM you mean, it can't be used to recover your Phone!

Ok, tried as suggested but got
error 296
This NBF file cannot be used for you PDA phone. Please newer NBF file
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hmm, also tried with RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_021921_QTEK_GER_Ship_NO_IPL_SPL.exe
from List of Available Original Shipped ROM Versions, and got Error [300]. This Update Utility cannot be used of your PDA. Get Newer Update utility.
Also tried with this one
RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_024721_QTEK_GER_Ship.exe
From the same place,
Error [294] Invalid Vendor ID

That means it is unlocked. Try the ROM I linked earlier just to get the device usable.

hi thanks for yor fast reply but i download the rom that you link and run it in 80 percent of flashing the new rom i have wait few minutes and in device the process bar become red after afew minutes it goes blue(green) and continue but again in 95 percent get red and after minutes i recive the eror that tell : ERROR [320~328] : INVALID COMMAND please chek your nbf file idont know what should i do
and i found this on read me file that comes with rom you linked above
These errors seldom occur. However, if one of these errors occur, it could not be recovered and the device had to be sent back to the customer service center. In this case, you have to flash a new ROM code.
my bouth spl and ipl is 2.58.0001
please help me

2.58.0001

My Prophet is dead!!! What can i do? PLZ Help!!!

Hi. Congratulations for your good work!!!
Last week i bought an O2 XDA Neo (used) from Germany. Everything was working ok. The only problem was with the language (German) so i wanted to change the language to English and after that if it was possible to Greek. I thought that the only way to do that was to change its firmware. My phone had the official firmware WM5. I downloaded and installed ActiveSync on computer. Then i synchonised the PC with the phone succesfully. And at last i runned a rom that downloaded from wiki from the prophet forum. It installed succefully but after a restart the phone stucked on a three colour screen. I reinstalled the same rom and another rom but the problem is the same. Nothing works. The phone is dead?
What did wrong? Is it possible to repair this problem? Plz if enyone knows something, i would appreciate it if he replies to this thread.

the good thing is..
your prophet is NOT dead..
simply flash it again..
tri-colour screen is a bootloader mode and in that state you still can flash your neo with RUU ROMs
a prophet is called DEAD ,only if it cannot enter bootloader state
flash it with ORIGINAL ROM..and that should works..
read the instructions before going to WM6 as it needs some steps before simply flashing it

Hi m friends. After hard work i finally made my phone works again. I instaled the oficial rom for prophet (O2 Germany) that founded in another thread. Then it worked fine. Then i hadrspled my devive and finally i installed a WM6 rom caslled evolution.... and it worked fine. But does enyone knows if it is possible to have greek language and greek keypad on my prophet? Thank you for your help in advance.

There is a greek ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323868
It uses the old upgrading method, so you will need to flash the "Part One" ROM first, then don't do anything to the device and then flash the "Part 2".
