MDA blocked with USB/SERIAL V1.00 on the screen

Hi everyone,
i'm about to buy a mda compact. The seller says that he tried to update rom and the mda now is blocked with a screen USB/SERIAL V1.00
If I upgrade the rom how is described in the other topic is ok?
I had to say to know if i buy this one or no
I wait fiducious in your answers :lol:

HELLO
This device is only in bootloader mode so you can reflash it without problem.
There is a lot of topics in this forum to perform that. :wink:

I had to do a "simply" rom upgrade or some different operation? :?:
I have find that post on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
i had to what is described on it?

Beware though. I had once screwed my MDA during an upgrade and all it did was start iself in the bootloader mode. For some reason, I couldnt re-flash any ROM onto the machine and had to took it back to t-mobile and they replaced a new unit for me.

Mmm... this is a bad new... anyone help?

i had this problem too, all i did was kept trying to different roms till one finally worked
i Downloaded all the rom from the FTP site
1 finally worked then after that, i updated to the 1.12 Imate rom...
Can not tell you which one worked, but i had to copy it to a Memory card to do it
Maybe if you try the Windows Installers, 1 might work

hi Herian..
1st of all,as the guys said,ur phone is in bootloader mode....it's not a problem,so don't be affraid :wink:
if u have'nt performed a flash before,am gonna try avoiding u flashing unless it's the last resort...
so bro,do the following:
1-remove the battery and leave ur PDA more than 2 hours without battery(u don't need 2 hours but am taking it to the limit),so that the backup battery will drain,all old data in RAM will be lost...put the battery again...and:if it restarts and enters OS,then congratulations,but if it doesn't,so u have to go to step 2.
2-reflash ur device:
-althought ur device is a Magician(at least this is what i think),all the procedures mentioned in my post(here's the link :wink: ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25830&highlight= should work with no problem,the main difference wil be entering the bootloader mode,but since ur already in it :wink: ,it not a problem anymore,this is why you have to follow my instructions starting with step 2(the link,ok).
my advice for u will be to download the 1.12.00WWE ROM from the ftp,coz it's the last one,and good luck bro
tell us the news,or pm me anytime,it will be my pleasure to help u
RAGO :lol:

First of all: hello, I am new here
I just got a Magician (MDA compact) and tried to update it. But it failed and now it is in the bootloader mode. When I try a new update, it stops in step 1 after a few minutes. On the Magician you can see "upgrade radio stack, please wait".
Any ideas? I am a little bit confused, so much money and now it doesnt't work

hi COnker..
u must upgrade ur device with the right OS,ur case happens when u try to upgrade with a different OS(eg:upgrading a magician with a Himalaya ROM),but with the same operator(eg:i-mate jam upgraded with i-mate PDA ROM,u pass country ID error,and run ClearJmpCode.exe,and it ends by a dead jam in bootloader mode... :wink: ).
so my friend,what u have to do,is to go to ftp,and search for a ROM update made specifically for Magician(try 1.12.00WWE),then follow my instruction in the above topic.....
good luck
RAGO :lol:

Noway
I had tryed several times whit a lot of MaUpgrade(finded on the ftp site) but noway... The upgrade show me a window with the version of current rom and the version of the upgrade rom... but is empty! Then, if i click on upgrade, after a few minutes the mdac shut down and the program give me a 150 error... i don't know what i have to do...

I have read in some post here that is possible to do a backup of rom on sd card and to restore it.
If some good guy send me his backup files can i relive my mdac?

Hi,
I had the same problem but i have found a way without upgrade it.
1. pull out your battery.
2. put in your charger ( not usb )
3. put in your battery and then again pull out your battery and then again put in your battery.
4. now you will see the phone is starting up and if you have calibrate your screen and the rest the phone gonna install allot of stuff but when its installing everything pull out your battery and charger.
5. put in your battery and press the power button and congratulations your phone is working again.
sorry for my english i am from belgium xD

Fatal downgrade...

Hi there,
My currently installed Rom was RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1.exe. (thank you jester for you good job)
Nevertheless, this ROM is in English and I wanted to downgrade to a French One before the selling of my device.
I have tried to install the downgrade kit detailed in this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267344
The first step went OK but while trying to make the secnd step, my qtek is blocked at the boot splash screen showing the Jesterz picture and red information about the SPL and so on on the upper left corner... without starting... The USB connexion is not detected so I can't do anything... While trying to install any ROM, the USB connection is not detected ang I get an error message...
Did I kill my phone ?
Please help ! Tell me that it's not dead....

Don't worry, its nowhere close to being dead. If you have superCid, then use the SD card image to restore in bootloader mode. However, if the Cid is locked, then you would need a utility that can unlock Cid without Activesync mode (coz in your case, you would not be able to get an Activesync connection). imei-check.co.uk has a utility ($38 i guess) that unlocks Cid in bootloader.--- else show it to a professional. (in my country, I would have to shell out around $20 to get such a problem fixed at a mobile repair shop)

Just take out the battery for about 10 minutes and re-insert. If it does not re-start, do a soft resert with the stylus and hopefully you should be fine

Hy,please help!
after downgrade, it doesnt work anymore.... i mean... i cant start the mobile!
after the downgrade i disable the USB data cable and now the mobile is dead... it doesnt starts from the ON/OFF Button and even if i connect the USB cable it makes nothing! No Led on... nothing! absolutly DEAD!!!

I have tried to put off the battery all night long with no result.. but I have achieved to reach the bootloader mode by pressing the camera button while soft reseting and keeping the camera button pushed...
OMG, I have been so scared ! ! !

Try this in order to reach the bootloader:
Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camara + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and KEEP PRESSING camara button till appear the Boot Loader.)

it doesnt work

I seem to have a simular problem. this is my post in another topic. It seems to fit better here.
This is what I tired so far:....
I used the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_S hip-NoVendorID and it often hangs and was slow with Push Email over GPRS.
I tried to find a way to downgrade but hadn't had time sofar. When I logged on XDA Developers Site I saw there was a new Image.
So I thought Great I dont need to find how to downgrade.
I don't know what G4 and G3 is so as everybody let's try the higest best one.
I uploaded the RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU3.3-Jester-b1
Wrong...
Now as previously stated I get to the multicolor screen with IPL 2.09 and the SPL 2.20..0001 on the screen and that's it.
I can get to the bootloader and load the same image again and get the same result.
I can load another image on and it loads to 80 Percent and says error [326] Invalid Command This NBF cannot be used with your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file.
If I try an older Version it tells me upgrad only
And when I try to upload the G3 version it tells me error[300] invalid upgrade tool. This upgrade utility canot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Upgrade utility.
Trying to use the nf.nbf or the G3 with the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID of the G4 doesn't work either.
If I would like to do the downgrade tool I need a Active Sync connection which I don't have.
I have no more thoughts. Please Help.

If you would have just read the forums better you would have known if your device is a G3 or a G4. (read this!).
Now it appears you have tried both for an update. Which may possibly have bricked your phone.
But... first things first. Can you get into the bootloader? (read wiki HERE on how to do that).
If you can still get into the bootloader then there is still a possibility for updating.
Try upgrading with the latest Qtek rom (note: this is an official rom, this one works for both G3 and G4! And since it's the latest you should be able to upgrade to this one).
Instructions quoted from another post of me:
You could try the 2.20 qtek rom which seems to be working well for quite some people (found here).
Although you have to make sure you read that thread good and use the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe (found here ) to upgrade.
Update instructions:
1: With the qtek 2.20 rom you need to extract the zip and the exe file in the zip with WinRAR.
2: Then there is one folder called 'OutputFile' and a folder called 'RUU_TOOLS'.
Inside the RUU_TOOLS there is prophet and in that one WWE, when you go through them and in the WWE folder you see a bunch of files (readme.doc, enterbootloader.exe etc etc).
You need to copy ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to the WWE folder with all the files. And you also need to copy the 'nk.nbf' file to the WWE folder (from the 'OutputFile' folder).
3: And then you need to put your phone in bootloader mode and run ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to upgrade, which should work nicely then.

This should give you a good enough idea of what to do. This should work (new rom combined with no NoID updater).
However, if it's impossible to get yourself into the bootloader your options of upgrading your device are getting smaller.
Downgrading of a complete rom is only possible on a CID unlocked G3 (when it's CID unlocked you would know! because you would have done that yourself) and not on a G4 device.
Flasing a G3 device with a G4 rom or G4 device with a G3 rom might possibly turn your phone into a brick. This can easily be avoided by reading the forums properly and know what you are doing.
If anything (even if it's a small thing) is not completely clear to you about upgrading/downgrading your device I'd recommend not doing so.
edit: oh yeah... if you have a G4 device (which you should know by now) you cannot downgrade from this rom (well, only via a payed online service). And when you have a G3 device you could try and CID unlock it (read wiki + forums) before you want to downgrade, or don't downgrade at all.
But whatever you do, don't try to downgrade it without doing any of those things because you'll get into trouble. (to put it down bluntly)

If you have reached the bootloader screen, just run my installer (or any official ROM) to get your phone working again.

My Prophet Died
I need help, to restore my Prophet, i upgrade wrong rom, i need will try the SD Backup, where can i see this process ?
Sorry my Inglish is too bad.

I've merged a couple of threads under this one, as they are all about the same problem (mostly)
Opening a new thread for the same problem isnt very useful

Hi RaptorRVL
Thank you very much for your patience in resuming all this for me.
I do try to read the forum but it isn't like a manual where you find the procedure stepby step. Like the G3 and G4 version I have newer come across until now. Sorry.
I tried the image you metioned and I have the result that at 80% it tells me error [326] Invalid Command This NBF cannot be used with your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file
Any more thoughts?
As you seem to be an expert Can you let me know more about goldcard solution.
Cheers
Mick

From a readme I once found inside an update:
* ERROR [320~328] : INVALID COMMAND
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.

Doesn't sound too good really. Maybe someone else here on the forums know what to do with this error :/
You did use the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe and not the normal updater right? Can remember someone getting a similar error when using the wrong updater, but I'm not sure about that though...
edit: try doing a search on the prophet forums for "INVALID COMMAND" maybe there is a helpful post in there somewhere...

THANKS!! I was worried b/c i had the same problem today. I've been looking for so many threads abt this problem. Thanks for ur help guys!

same problem
so i have the same problem. I want to downgrade and it break at 95% invalid file. But now XDA is still alive. I can`t go into the bootloader but i tried this file: RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe
and now my Prophet is still running again. Hope i can help you. Good luck.

P.S. sorry for my english, but its good to learn it again

WM6 freezing with alarms while charging

I've tried different WM6 roms until now and I always faound a little issue with them.
When I leave my MDA plugged with the wall charger and during the carghe starts an alarm set before, the OS freezes without playing alarm and needs a soft-reset.
I'm wondwering if this issue has been alrady discussed, because even I used the search I found nothing.
Is it a problem of new WM6 Roms or simply an issue of my MDA Vario?

yu
going to test this now
ok i put it on the charger and set an alarm 2 minutes ahead
it works fine..
probably u have this issue with the IPL/SPL
i suggest you go to the procedure of unlocking the device and update it to the rom u wish
see my topic: rom flashing

My MDA is all unlocked, so i don't know if is really an IPL/SPL issue.
Anyone else had this issue?

yu
believe me its a SPL issue due to not having removed the sd card while updating the device. it is in use whereas it cannot update this way.
i suggest u flash rom crossbow reloaded as it is an improved version of the one u have now
please do exactly as i stated in the flash rom topic i gave
re-run the whole thing including unlocking
make sure u dont have any cable or whatever connected to the device
only this usb cable to the pc and make sure the battery is fully loaded as it
will give stupid errors as it assumes its full and ur battery meter wont match
very strange indeed but it seems to be the case..
in the end you'll be happy coz it runs flawlessly without strange errors

I'm going to try now... thanks for hints!

solved

Orange SPV M5000 hangs

Hi!
I am facing problem with my Orange SPV M5000. The device hangs up. I have to reset the device and after the Windows splsh screen a blank page appears and the device hangs. I have to take the battery and the Sim from the phone and then without putting in the Sim restarts the phone. It, then, behaves normally and boots properly. Then I put the Sim again and restarts the device and then it boots normally.
I have flashed the device with a number of cooked ROMs and the result is the same. I have noticed that normally this happens whenever I put my device in the pocket of my trouser and on certain other occassions as well. Have already get my device checked for any loose connections. Everything seems in order.
I would appreciate if I am guided on this.
Regards,
Haque

Yes, have Doc Formatted the device as well between flashing, but the results are the same.

Try following method:
1. Doc Format
2. Flash WM5 (one with SDHC support)
3. Make HR while on WM5
4. Re-flash cooked ROM (I'll suggest Goldrake WM6.1 )

I do not consider myself an "expert", but have you tried replacing the battery?
Just trying to eliminate possible causes.

Hi! Orb! Thanks for the tip. Haven't tried as yet but I will do this. A brief of the issue for more clarity:
I have got my device's RAM upgraded and it worked perfectly alright with flashing and testing of one version or another. No issue at all at that time.
The problem started from the time, I first DOC formatted and flashed the ROM by Tomal. The command I used was TASK 32 and the TASK 28 55aa as stated in the instructions using MTTY 1.42. Since then, I was not even able to run WM5 (but the other cooked versions worked fine). Have tried skiping the screen calibaration process using some utility and found that WM5 worked good but once a soft reset is done or the device is switched off, the screen does not appear. Once flashed with WM5, after the device logo screen, either a white or a colored screen appears or after the windows splash screen preventing the OS to boot up and the processes after that. While installing any other ROM, the device worked 100% okay.
Afterwards, I noticed that the device started to hang up even using any ROM despite a number of soft/ hard resets. Have also noticed that the device started malfunctioning and does not boot when the SIM is inserted. After trying for a few times the device starts working with the SIM. Once the device is restarted even with full 100% battery the blank screen appears and the device does not go beyond this. Taking the battery off for a couple of minutes will help the device to boot properly but after a number of tries.
Have Doc formatted the device a number of times, hard resetted but to no use. Installed almost every cooked version the result is the same. Even got the device checked by the mobile repair shop and it was said that the device is okay hardware-wise and if it is mis-behaving it is because of the software.
Guys I need help to save my device.

Haque

Well,,I'm not an expert too.. But from your story it looks like something is wrong, either with your device (some intermittent problem with SIM card circuit inside) or the SIM card it self. Why not you try to change the SIM card first? To make sure that there are no problems with your device, bring it to HTC authorized service center..
