...the blind leading the blind, but
Error 101 is communication error, so
1. Disconnect PC from internet
2. Disable any firewall, XP firewall, zonealarms etc
3. Hard Reset XDA << probably not needed but hey why not
4. Put XDA into bootloader mode Power Button + D-Pad + Reset Hole
5. Connect XDA to PC with USB
??? does bootloader change from serial to USB ???
6. Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe with correct ROM in same folder
7. Wait for 30 mins
8. Hey Presto

if your rom crashed and your devise still in eboot page and waiting for downloading disk image now you gona give it
but a little problem....you need another of any kind ppc that just activesync can recognize it..any wm or hd .....
and also you need ollydbg software.its a debuger.....
steps
0) run ollydbg and load the rom upgrade file in ollydbg
1) plug the healthy ppc to your desktop via usb activesync v4.5
2) make a text file in your desktop and name it DeviceSpy and set it attribte to read only
2) transfer it to \windows dir in healthy ppc...
4) change the suffix from .txt to .exe by resco explorer or any other file explorer now you have DeviceSpy.exe
check it attribute and be sure its readonly...
5) press f9 and zinc upgrader will run...it suppose to installer ignore the differ
6) tap all ok or next buttons and in dialogbox with update button beware
7) most important section : tap update button and eminently click on ollydbg title bar to make it active window
and watch the activesync icone .it quickly will chang and make activesynk disconnect and you have to hear
a notification tone and ppc will restart...
8) quickly press f12 to break ollydbg process then unplug healthy ppc and plug your zinc and wait for notification tone
9) press f9 and enjoy the new rom....
that healthy ppc is still healthy but your dead zinc now is alive...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But not success.
Now my Zinc is in black screen and red light when I connect to PC.
Can anyone help me ? My Zinc is dead. (
do not use olydb
just when the healthy ppc restarted replace it with zick quickly.
use a dos app instead of text file and rename it to devicespy.exe with readonly
attre..
What if I dont have another PPC???
I am going thru the very same problem...
What if I do not have another healthy PPC???
Also, will the settings be the same if I am using a Windows Mobile Device Center rather than a ActiveSync 4.5???
Please help me out with this Zinc issue!!!!
So, as I see there is many newbees here without experience in ROM flashing. Some of them need just ROM in another language.
Because there is really no simple guide for all who wants to flash their prophet to get at least WM 5.0 WWE (or other language) I will write my experience (this doesnt mean I can solve al problem!!!!, cos´in flashing about 50 devices already I really had no problems-just followed instrucions from this forum).
If you have a Prophet (S200, XDA Neo etc) and want ENG WM 5.0 ROM just follow next few steps, and it should works
1. Determine do you have G3 or G4 model
2. Download and install ActiveSync 4.5
3. Download ROM (my suggestion PVTemp) and unzip somewhere on desktop
4. If your device is locked-> unlock it using lokiwiz
5. Connect device to PC ( running WIN XP suggested) and sign as a GUEST!
6. Disconnect and go to bootloader mode -pres COMM button and after that soft reset with pen, relise pen in few seconds and your screen should show RGB colors. DEVICE BATTERY MUST BE ABOVE 50%!
7. Connect your PDA on PC (it will show USB on screen, down left)
8. Go to directorx and run ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe (if its G4) or ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe (if its G3)
9. Follow instrucions on PC screen
10. After some time (10min) PDA should finish and do a restart-it usualy stuck on 0% and 85%, but dont panic and wait, it sould continue!!
11. Enjoy new ROM!
That is it for now. I hope it will help, if I found out something I will edit the post, and at the end:
YOU CAN DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RESPONSABILITY;DO NOT CONSIDER ME RESPOSIBLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
Do as I do- read as many posts as you can considering flash and upgrade!!!
If someone want to add oppinion or suggestion (or just link to mentioned software) it will be great of course!
Also, if admin have a better idea (maybe to edit and stick post somewhere) it will be the best solution!!
Some solution from wiki:
If during an upgrade your Prophet fails to start properly or can only enter bootloader!
Hard reset
Hi there ,
wanted to know if there is a way to edit the registry so that some of the programs would keep the device screen on ?
for example when using Garmin , there is an option to keep the device on , but not all the program have this option , so is there a way to do it manually for other programs ?
thx
i recently bought spice mi 270 android phone. it is dual sim ,200mhz cpu, 190mb ram, 271mb rom phone. it comes preloaded with lots of crapware. so i downloaded appdelete application from android market to delete those. at first i rooted the phone with z4root which i got from xda forum. then i start deleting the crapwares. but in mean while i also deleted some systeem apps like launcher , keyboard. i use launcher pro and multiling keyboard so i thought these two were useless. everthing going fine untill today when i factory reset my phone to wipe out other apps and to get clean os. there now phone starts but remain on android setup screen asking for account info then closes itself with force close and there is only blank sceen comes with time and battry bar at the top. as i suspect restoration of launcher and keybord mostly retore phone back to normal. is there any I can recover my phone to Normal.
plz reply....
thank you for patient reading

Hi dude,
Did you resolve your issue?
I'm thinking of buying this phone. Can you post your review about it?
regards,
Sabharish
no i cant solve the issue
no i cant solve the issue
but i get to know that it is not about my removal of applications but android market malware infect it
so i go to customer service center and replace it
now i have new phone
and specially not using market at all
for review
1. good phone
2. moderately responsive
3. remove crap ware with app delete download from net
4. phone becomes super responsive
5.battery life is very less like 1 and 1/2 day with moderate use
6.overall nice phone at price of 4800 rs
u want know anything more message here.
now looking for someone to develop gingerbread rom for this
I too have this phone! find it horribly slow.
does deleting stock crap apps increase the speed? can the touch be made more responsive?
Mi-270
Ya..I'm having this phone for about two weeks now and its great for its price. I guess its the only Android in India for below Rs.5k. The best part of it being that its dual gsm sim and its branded
You need to remove all bloatware like reuters, yahoo stuffs and other apps thats pre-installed in it. Z4root works like a charm.
I'm getting a battery life of around 24 hours and more for normal usage...like half hour of talk, around two hours of wifi browsing and extensive messaging. But the recharging time just amazes me. It recharges from 0% to 90% in less than 40mins!
I've posted some unboxing reviews of the phone.

@k2wl
Have you installed any anti-virus? Recommend if you find anything useful.

now looking for somebody who can cook custom rom for my mi 270.

The only thing that I could not connect my phone through ADB. I have installed the driver. Windows can see my ADB device . But adb can not see my device.
Can you please tell me how did you connect through adb? If you can still boot into recovery then u can flash your rom also. You need to get the official rom because I did not find any patched rom for dual sim over the net.
Thanks

no adb
no i cant connect it through adb but u can use mobiledit to connect it to PC and use it as a PC suit
works perfectly
as for recovery mode
press menu and home button together then press power button u reach recovery mode
press home button and return button together then press power button u get factory testing mode
still cant figure out the adb connection
come on Google improve Ur OS to connect to PC
also they should bring common PC suit for all androids
I find the wifi to be very weak too! anybody else face the same issue?
Thanks a lot k2wl for sharing your experience. Still I could not figure out the ADB . One more frustrating fact is that there is no custom ROM available for dual sim android. Even there is no good dialer for dual sim android................
Hi , k2wl
I have bricked my Mi-270 . I replaced a system library with a modified one for installing DSP manager. Now it is not booting. I need to connect through ADB to restore the original system library. I cant connect with ADB... How did u solve your problem?? Did you service it ?
hi musarraf172
i don't know about what dsp manager do but replacing system library is bad thing to do... and ya i go to service center and get my mi-270 replaced....
just go service center tell them phone is not booting up since morning...u switch off it off yesterday night & now it's not booting up. that what i hav done.
alternatively try to boot in factory mode / recovery mode & try to wipe out the user partion
"as for recovery mode
press menu and home button together then press power button u reach recovery mode
press home button and return button together then press power button u get factory testing mode"
bye hope u will find the solution and sorry for replying late.
k2wl
no working adb yet
hi guys i have to inform u that i m giving up hopes of adb working for this phone as i have tried all the methods described on net & this forum
i have tried ubuntu, fedora, slackware
windows 7
windows xp
tried every method available
if u people get adb working plz let me know.
thanks
k2wl
Hi, k2wl
Thanks for your reply. I have already given my phone to service centre for replacement.
For adb my experience is same as with you. I have also tried on ubuntu , windows 7 32 bit as well as 64 bit but no luck.
I have come across over some internet forum that all these cheap Chinese phones are running some modified versions of android and OS images are loaded on ROM by some specific Chinese software.
In one forum , they described the flashing procedure. You need to remove the battery and then connect your phone with a windows based pc. Then you have to install the driver for that particular chinese software. Then you can flash your rom. It was described for some other chinese make dual sim android.
And remember you need to have the spice official rom image coz no other custom rom is available for this model as of now.

k2wl,
What are apps you removed from the rom by appdelete??
it all depends on you... what u like & what u dont like
i recommend u to read http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones for removing the apks
just remember that removing google core apks is risky....
bye take care
k2wl
p.s. - still figuring out adb
musarraf172 did u get ur replacement ???
i got mine replaced on same day.
i have made an interesting observation today.... may be im wrong but here it is
the battery of nokia c6-00 and spice mi-270 have same dimensions and same battery pin outs. so may be c6-00 battery is compatible with our handset mi-270 .
this is just a observation but i think somebody who has access to c6-00 and mi-270 can confirm this plz.
thanx
k2wl
p.s. still no luck for adb
No ADB
Hi k2wl,
Today I got my phone back. I have never seen such worst customer service. I had to write to the MD of spice group. Anyway I got my phone back and it is working .
But still ADB does not work. I will be writing to their service manager .
I will try to get a battery of C6-00 and check the compatibility.
Thanks..

Yes I do agree with you that the wifi is very weak.Install wifi analyzer from the market to find the best position for wifi reception.Connect the headphones to get an improvement in wifi reception.
Have you found the MEID number required to enter into spice club membership form to get 3 months extended warranty ?
musarraf172 - Please give details on how did you disable the 3d drawer veiw and how and what app did you use to root the spice mi-270 phone?
