Upgrading stopped before it should, battery empty, help! - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my HTC MAGICIAN to 1.13 rom but it got stucked before ending ( dont really know exact % ) and after that my battery got empty! Now when i plug usb cable in I see Red LEd indicator instead of orange... battery wont charge and i cant upgrade it again because phone turns off when upgrading start ( I presum that is cuz my battery is empty and it doesnt charge while upgrading)! So my question is : Is there any other way to charge battery and revive my Pocket PC?
P.S. I dont know anyone who has this phone, and i dont have cradle

I had the same problem before, what I did was instead of using the USB cable to charge you battery. Use the standard charger that is plugged into the outlet.

My problem is that I can't seem to access the bootloader anymore. The screen is just too dark to see anything. I can't even do a ROM update via a RUU.

wrong rom update

After I mistakelt upgrade my s200 with a Kjam rom, the device will not turn on again, now I need to boot from the sd card has anyone an OS backup which work on Sd card?
I ll try to alive the device from sd card but I dont know how I copy the os to the sd card.
Do you have the bootloader alive?
thanks for your help, no I could only reach to Bootscreen when the wall charger plugged, but naturally I could not update the rom from the charger, so I think the only solution is using a backup image from the sd card.

AFAIK, it means that your battery is empty. Try to charge the battery with any working S200/100/110/9100 and you will be able to run the bootloader, then you will restore the device. Correct me, if I wrong.
the problem is not about the charger or battery, although the battery 100% it still cant be opened the problem is after load the Kjam ROM, the device reject to open, it could onyl turn on if the wall charger is pluged however I could plug the USB data cable at the same time. I send it to the service center hope they could recover the device...

This behaviour is typicel for a device with both broken image and discharged battery. The battery WAS at 100%, but the Prophet does not charge it if has no working OS, so the batery was drained until you tryed to reanimate the device. Ensure that the pattery is full with other, working device.
Walker;
I charge the battery with an other prophet I ll wait untill the light become green and battery is 100% then after when I tried with the boken prophet it did not reanimate the device. it is very interesting to see that wizard could work with prohet's rom but not vice versa
Flash wrong ROM consequences
Let me relate my experiences; exactly the same problem.
Update KJAM rom on DOPOD 818Pro ... Damn phone could not power on at all, at most on bootloader, plugin USB cable --> no USB word displayed at bottom.
Try to flash any RUU also no go ...
ON battery, could not power up at all, only plug in wall charger then managed to get to bootloader ... so all was lost.
Send to EBAY (where i bought from) and they flash the bloody Dopod 830 ROM..
During collection, plugin my own battery, same cannot power up... evidently the flash to Kjam killed my battery too !
The good thing was that with the 830 rom, my IPL became 2.16 (from 1.00).
So i reflashed to Dopod latest 2.15 ROM ok... further flash to AKU 2.3 hacked ROM also no problem.
SO, ultimately the cause was a killed battery from the ROM update.
Use a meter to measure contact pt 1 & 2 from top edge of battery, (supposed to be min 4.7V) I believe it's 0V or totally shorted out.
This battery cannot power on the phone, but still can be used as spare battery by power up with wall charger first, the battery still has it's 3.7V available to sustain operation.
So u can go buy a new battery and Flash to the correct ROM now.
Good Luck
to buyaoxiao;
Thanks for your comments but;
I think there is something more serious than the battery; I have two prophets, and I also try with the other's battery and still nothing happened, more than that, both of the batteries work with the non-broken prophet.
Flash wrong ROM
Hmm.. that may be true also.
I cannot really conclude as i was lucky the ebay shop i bought from agree to flash my S200.. i believed they had some trouble too as it took them a week to get it to Dopod 830 rom ... when normally they say 1 day will do. They refused to go into specifics though... (afraid that i demand for 1-1 exchange)
I have had the same problem, so that's why I decide to sent to dealer to try to fix it. Now I'm expect to have a call to pick it up. Hope they can improve my prophet to the new chip G4.
I tryed several times, hours to fix it, but no way. Sorry I can not tell you something good.
I am sure that there should be a way to fix those devices Jtag should not be the only way( if it really works) it is meaningless to loose a device only because of a wrong rom update

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...
also help needed over here
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

Totally Dead C600

I can't get my c600 to switch on at all. First of all it wouldn't turn on, but I got the green (or was it orange?) light when usb/power cable was plugged in. Now it does absolutely nothing when I try to turn it on. I wasn't doing a firmware update or anything at the time - previously it was working fine.
It is possible that the battery is dead, but would that stop the phone from switching on when a usb power cable is connected? Can anyone try their c600 with the battery removed, to see if it starts please?
My C600 without battery only runs in bootloader, phone does not start on only charger cable. Tried you start phone in bootloader and re-flash?
Hi, no I can't get into boot loader with or without battery in place or with usb cable.
Any other suggestions, or is it scrap?
Press Camera button and connect USB Cable. Bootloader will start. But re-flash is hard without battery :/
No, I can't get into the bootloader. There's no green or orange power led when I plug into the USB. It shouldn't need reflashing as it was working for months after it was last flashed??
I have ordered a replacement battery to see if that will help bring it back to life.
Sounds like one or more buttons of your phone are stuck from dust/spill/fall...
Try opening the phone and cleaning it a little.
GL.
charge it with the original charger it happen it to me
New battery cured it!
Now I can try some more up to date software.

[Q] device stuck in chargeing mode

My phone is completely dead.
my mobile wont turn on even after charging for more than 12hrs.Only white led comes without blinking and goes after 5-10 min. Anyone hav solution?? it has 60% charge and when i tried to charge it with car charger it wont turn on afterwords..
If you can get into bootloader then flash the firmware. Probably the firmware is damaged.
Still under warranty...?
No its not at all booting only led .i cant able to get into bootloader
nope
You could test it with another battery maybe?, i had one with a similar problem, and by far i noticed the problem was the batt
i will try with another battery and report to you.
Did you downgrade your ROM and then updated via OTA? If that is the case, you have probably hard bricked your phone.
nope battery was at 60% and i tried to charge with car charger since then it is not turning on.
