hugi

Praise you Helmi!!!
You are AWWWWsome. I followed your instructions and my baby lives.
I am stuck with mario 9.6 rom but that ain't bad compared to a bricked phone.
I am interested in how to cook my own rom. I'm gonna keep readin though cause I apparently have a lot to learn.

our hero
Helmi_c is my hero.

Damn Helmi_c you saved my phone

Seriously Stuck
Helmi...
I'm in the same boat except I cannot use mtty because I do not have an option for USB, only COM1 and 2......I also tried another utility I found on ppcgeeks called uni_exitbootloader without success. The details can be found here:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/cant-update-rom-now-stuck-in-bootloader-t7982.htmlhttp://www.ppcgeeks.com/cant-update-rom-now-stuck-in-bootloader-t7982.html
My question is What can I do now???
Any thoughts....Anyone?????

GOD BLESS YoURE HART OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG URRRRRRRRRRRA GENIOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

tip for Mac OS X
I tried several times to run the mtty.exe program without success. I was running WinXP inside Parallels and each time I connected the PPC6700 to the Mac, Parallels told me that another program was using the PPC6700. After acknowledging that message mtty would not show me a USB connection.
Finally I hit on the idea of rebooting my Mac and booting directly into Windows (I used BootCamp to create a separate Windows partition). Obviously this way, Parallels was not involved. mtty immediately showed me a USB option, and 10 seconds later my unit was rebooting successfully.
Many, many thanks! Un abrazo muy fuerte!
S

same thing
im not seeing usb what should i do im using windows xp

Stuck too
I don't know if this is related but a I had no response from my xv6700 so I hooked it up and it would reboot over and over to the white Verizon screen. Later it gave just a white screen with an off-white "skunk line" down the screen. Now It doesn't reboot and I have just a red blinking light. I tried popping the battery when this first started with no luck as well as a hard reset using option 3 (2 function keys and pin-hole reset).
I turned USB connections off in my Vista Mobile Device center but I still don't get a USB option in mtty.
Is there anything I can do or is it bricked?
Thanks for the great forum!

I have since moved on to the titan, but it is very difficult to brick these phones. Can you get into bootloader? if i remember its camera + power + soft reset button (i think), once in that you can flash a new rom like the verizon stock to get back to basics. you should be doing this all in XP, not vista. I think some people could, but i never flashed in vista, xp was tried and true and never failed me (only reason i still have my crappy laptop with XP!)

Thanks
Thanks for the reply Friguy33. Somehow, a miracle I think, it started to come back with the initial setup but it still reboots itself throughout the process and after. The battery is drained and it reports that once the today screen comes up but instead of just starting to charge it, something else I think causes it to reboot.
Prior to reboot the screen dims about 40%. I tried those three buttons but nothing new has happened and no boot loader screen. I don't understand why it keeps rebooting.

OMG!! it worked. Thank you so much. You are the best!!

Maddddd LOVE!!!
I Love Helmi_C

forgetting
you are forgetting to go into activesync and shut off the usb connections, then unplug your apache, then reboot the apache, plug it in, then rerun mtty. you dont have to reboot the apache, but i have always found it to be best.

This still isnt working for me. I tried the way on ppcgeeks too. =/

I, I can´t too.
I connect, usb are there, but when i go for 4 step, on program show "Cmd>" not "USB>"... USB show only title of window... i put step 14 0 fornt Cmd, shoe again Cmd and after put Task 8 and show invalid command!
Someone can help me?

The easiest way to get outa bootloader is to hard reset a few times (it's gonna go back into to bootloader each time) then disable your ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center USB connections and re-flash. Works for a wuite a few people I know. Give it a try.

HELP!!! my Uni stucks in bootloader

Hello to all uni gurus and wizards!!
First of all, I've read all wiki before posting this question. Perhaps i"ve missed something but honestly, i did my best.
Now to the problem: I've got QTEK9000. For couple of years I've enjoyed the brilliant ROMS that were developer here by masters . Recently my uni's motherboard went dead, so i find a person (it was not easy) who replaced it. That person flashed my device with original WM5, and it worked perfectly and i've got videocalls also
Well then I decided to re-flash uni with WM6. And there was when problems started. I started with Tomal's 8.71 ROM, but it was unable to detect my Uni at all!!! Tried Tomal's 8.9 - same thing, VNInt's ROM - no good. I've tried MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and it founded uni, but after restart device stacks in bootloader. My bootloader is v.1.01 and is says 'Serial' on screen, even though it is connected through USB cable. That is OK because previously (before MB replacement) it was showing 'Serial' but I was able to flash without any problem.
So now I have my Uni with Bootloader v.1.01 and 'Serial' written on it. I've tried to connect with Mtty utility and with Uni_exitbootloader, but they can not see that USB port is connected to Uni - 'Cannot open USB port'.
Thank you for reading so much letters Any help will be greately appreciated

Have you done a Doc format?
I´m posting thsi thread to have more helpfull material:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549207
Hope it helps,

orb3000
Yes, I've tried DOC format, but mtty utility can not find USB port. All I get is COM1 and COM2

Sorry I can´t think on other solution...
But I´m sure later someone will give you a light

have you made sure active sync isn't using USB (untick in connections on PC first)

Hey -Jonny- friend!
Nice to see you´re back!
Cheers,

what has happened?

Did the metod of jonny´s advice works? "cancel the active sync usb conection first, before conect the UNi to PC," then open mtty and try tak 28 55aa.

Absolutely. I've untick USB in ActiveSync connections. I've even killed ActiveSync processes wcescomm.exe and rapimgr.exe. Unfortunately, mtty can not see USB port at all.

1. have you check usb cable? perhap your cable brocken. try another usb cable.
2. wish you have the lattest active sync (4.5), try to uninstall it then re-install. restart you pc then try to flashing.
3. try with another pc - or - try first to restore your pc to the date you remember the last date that everything fine when you flashing.
hope one of that will solve your problem ... or we must wait for enlightenment from uni master sifu here

Thank you for reply These are good suggestions. However, I've already tried them - installed AS 4.5 on a different computer, changed cable (though I'm pretty sure that old one is working) and tried to run mtty on that computer. The same thing - computer does not recognises USB device and mtty cannot see USB port

disable AS usb connection as Jonny advised. now connect the usb cable and try to flash a rom. it will make sure that your usb port/cable is working right. wait to finish the flashing, exit RUU.
now disconnect the cable and reconnect. run the mtty tool...

make sure usb cable plugged into computer, not into hub. i didn't need to kill anything for mine to work. reboot pc and try again?

Wow, Gurus are here Now, what i did:
1. I've get a desktop with fresh WindowsXP SP3 installed.
2. Installed AS 4.5 from MS website
3. Disabled USB connections in AS
4. Removed SIM card and SD card from my UNI.
5. Connected my UNI directly to computer with definately working USB cable. Got message "One of USB devices has mulfunctioned........"
6. Tried to flash with Tomal's 8.9 ROM for 64MB. It was unable to see my UNI:
Of course flashing was unsuccessfull
Also MTTY 1.42 utility cannot see USB port
After all this my UNI still stucks in bootloader wth text 'Serial' on the top and 'v1.01' at the bottom

seems your usb port is broken.

USB port on UNI? I will check. However, I doubt it, because when I plug mY UNI in computer Windows detects something on USB port, but cannot identufy it. If USB port were broken, then Windows would be unable to detect anything.

I guess, there's no solution for my case . Thanks to all who was trying to help me

Bootloader and startup problem

Hello guys,
I've bought myself a secondhand I-mate Jam with a French Rom on it which I offcourse want to change.
After trying many many I just don't seem to work. I think I never got in the Bootloader mode (hold Camera button + power button and then press the reset button) but when I do this my screen just turns black and nothing happens.
If I try to start up everytime I get the startup wizard with pen calibration. Then he goes to windows and starts with the customization untill the screen goes black again and I can't do anything. If I want to powerup again I need to slide the battery cover back and forth and then I can powerup again. Only just to get the startup wizard again.
Please help me with this. I'm going crazy with trying and trying.
Cheers,
Veek

After more searching and trying I finally got the HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O3 from Cotulla installed. Only my radio isn't the good version.
So trying to go back to older rom with good radio and then install HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O3 again.
And I think with I-mate the bootloader is just a black screen. I still keep getting a black screen when I try to acces bootloader mode.
Cheers,
Veek

bootloader mode on htc magician marked with a black screen and there are writings SERIAL or USB (if connected with USBSync) at the top center of the screen, while the bottom of the screen are made V1.xx (bootloader version)...

I'm trying to do this, but something's wrong... when I run maupgradeut_noID.exe the window says the ppc has to be connected via usb and synced with active sync... issues start after clicking on "Upgrade", because the phone goes in boot mode and nothing more happens... only that less than a minute later the pc loses connection of the phone =(

Hi,
i'm experiencing the same problem. I have never been able to access the bootloader by pressing those 3 buttons. The device just freezes and i need to remove the battery in order to reset it. Others also have experienced the same problem. Why won't the bootloader show up?

[Q] alcatel one touch 906 ROM

Hi to all. I just recently rooted my alcatel one touch 906. Is there a compatible ROM for my device. Here is my device info, for reference.:
Model: alcatel one touch 906
Processor: Qualcomm msm7227
RAM: 512
Android 2.2.1
Build: fsr.1.3.6.0_t10.16
Thanks in advance. I hope you can help me..

thread updating..anyone?? thanks..

My Alcatel T906 (Martini ?) dead after reset factory
I search on net and found firmware for this
http://www.mediafire.com/?1phq58wf0z0t19n
(Recommend using on Windows XP)
# INSTALL DRIVER
1. Remove battery and connect phone with PC
2. Insert battery
3. PC will detect and request for driver (follow guide in BRCM_PC_USB_Driver folder)
4. Change COM port to 4 (at this step I don't know why this device disappears quickly, so you must open device manager windows and change as quick as this device appear, but maybe this strange issue lead to bug that I will refer at the end of this)
# FLASH
1. Remove battery and connect phone with PC
2. Run download_froyo_1_3_6.bat
3. Insert battery
At the end, I saw error message as below screen, but finally it shows "Program Android New Image suceed"

}
But I remove battery and insert again and power on and wait for more than 10 min. but phone only show "Join our Android"
Can anyone help?

I tried the procedures above. It is working. Actually this one is to unbrick/ firmware flash your alcatel ot-906. Although I didnt get the error message mentioned above because i think the issue was the usb driver was not installed correctly. Here is what i did:
1.download the file ot-906.rar. save and extract the file.
2.install the broadcom usb located in your extracted file named BRCM_PC_USB_Driver.
3.make sure your phone battery is charged atleast 50%, or it wont flash.
4.connect your cable to pc, not yet to phone. remove your battery, then insert it back then plug the usb. your phone should be datected by your pc as usb to serial device.
5.now open the batch file named download_froyo_1_3_6.bat.it will begin the flashing process. wait untill it says finished or success.
6.unplug the phone.remove the battery, insert again. power the phone on. now just wait 5-10 mins before you phone completely boots up.it takes sometime to boot because your phone still configures the software.
Now your phone should work fine.

You have to change the com port (set to com port 4). sorry i forgot to mention that step in my post. after you insert usb cable to pc, make sure you can immediately access the device manager because the comport will hide itself after 2-4 secs. to do this, you shoul open the device manager before conncting the usb cable to your pc.

Well, i'm planning to root for my new unit TF300TL (4G/LTE), until now I still do not understand and how to start it.
Can anyone point me a direction step by step how to root / unlock for my device so that I can flash it with CleanRom?
Really appreciate if got a simple step by step before I can flash it.
and I'm totally do not know what is fastboot, bootloader, CWM and TWRP, anyone can guide me?
If without anything now, can i just download the ROM and flash it directly?
or I need to unlock something or install something before can flash it?

Type on PC > RUN > CMD? or need software to run on PC then type this command?

You need to install ADB platform tools (search the forum for it) and proper drivers (I used Universal Naked Driver), then follow the directions in this thread. The driver will enable Windows to "see" your device as fastboot, and the platform tools will allow you to issue ADB commands from within its folder. You need to also put your tab in fastboot mode (if you have custom recoveries such as CWM ot TWRP) by going to recovery menu and select the USB icon.
Note: once in cmd admin mode, you must first navigate to the platform-tools folder, wherever it is located. Ex: cd C:\platform-tools\ assuming that your PT folder is in drive C on your PC.
