PLEASE READ, need a little help!

My wife left the window open near my only laptop that have, and a thunderstorm came through.......well you no the rest. Dead laptop after it completly dried, I get power but a driver is stuck in loop mode, so only the boot screen shows up. Well my question is do anybody on xda developers no how, or no anyone who knows how to change roms using only a wizard. I have a t-mobile mda (waiting for the fall for new pocket pc releases) with current wm6 rom crossbow reloaded 1.7. Would like to change to mfrazz xda6 (the real wizard window mobile 6 rom from ngenetics) rom. I thought I read somewhere that someone changed there rom with their pocket pc from the SD card. Please read my question thoroughly. I no theres a method by using a card reader and entering bootloader.....and so on, and so on. I have no access to any type of computer ( until I buy a new one ), and I need instructions or someone point me into the direction for changing my rom with just my pocket pc. I will continue to search forums, google, or whatever myself until we get and answer to this. Thank you all for reading my new post, and helping out in any form or fashion. Oh yeah I forgot to mention; please do not post or respond with any negativity. I no it say junior member ( noob) next to my users name , but i'm a grown ass man so respect me like one. Remember i'm the senior noob.

This is a little off topic, but have your tried booting your laptop and then pressing the F8 key before the Windows boot screen is displayed? From this screen you can try the "Last Known Good...." or try to boot into safe mode. If that doesn't work, you can try booting from your Windows CD and doing a repair installation of windows? If you can get power and it sticks at the boot screen, then some of your boot files may be corrupted. I'm assuming that you have Windows XP. Hope this helps. I don't know anything about flashing ROMs from the SD card, but have heard something about that in this forum or HoFo.

STOP TRYING TO TURN IT ON!! you're making it worse. trust me.
i work as a computer technician, i fix machines that have been spilled on all the time.
shut it down, take it somewhere to have it fixed. it might be dry on the OUTSIDE, but the inside is either
1.) still wet
2.) corroded chips that are shorting out
the only way to really tell, is disassemble it. take everything apart, REMOVE ALL ELECTRICITY to the computer, and check to see where the liquid is and what damage it has done. if you see corrosion spots, get a soft bristle tooth brush, run the part under water and use mild soap to brush it off. rinse it off, then let it dry for 48 hours minimum.
do not do this with the hard drive, optical drive, or LCD - just PCBs.
i've had dozens of computers come to me that had an entire cup of soda/beer/tea/coffee/water, etc. on it and was able to get it working. Water is the easiest to fix, as there are no sugars or anything to bond to the components.
its not the liquid that causes the problem, its the electricity running through it.

lol at this point i think im more worried about your laptop, and i am pretty sure there is a way to boot off of an sd card but im not sure, im sure somone here will know

h4ck must be a member of the geek squad!

my sony vaio laptop
when I saw my laptop it was soak and wet. I removed the keyboard pad, and unscrewed all the screws. Yes there was water on the inside, and I tried to dry it as much as possible. Went on vacation came back three weeks later. Before there was no power, when I return home I turn on my laptop and voila, it comes. I hit the f8 key and started it from its last known good config. System restarts but a small blue screen appears, then disappears. So I return to the bootscreen option and started it up in safe mode with networking. Everything came on in safe mode in a smaller screen size. I went to start/computer system/vaio recovery. Now this is were I messed up. Insted of using the last good config. check point, I used complete system recovery back to its normal state the way I bought it. all programs and software will be deleted.(just like a hard reset for pocket pc). It did a complete recovery of my hard drive c, and restore everything to factory settings. Now when it restarts a message says its missing some files and to repair this hit the "r" key and insert the windows xp cd-rom disc. I did this but it won't boot from the hard disk for some reason. Then after some time from trying to boot from the cd-rom disc, a small blue screen appears with the message: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ati2dvag. The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. please check your hardware device vendor for any driver updates. technical information: *** stop: 0x000000EA (0x81cB2440, 0x81E0A440, 0xF896DCB4, 0x00000001) ati2dvag- beginning to dump of physical memory-physical memory dump complete. Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance." Sorry guys for the long story but thats everything. I know this is a forum about PDA's but i'm just responding to the response. By the way have anybody found anything yet?

I won't flame you, but this was posted in the wrong forum regardless of what ROM you are using to flash to your device. Just keeping things clean.

Yeah, you're on the right track. You need to make a note of the file it says it's missing and the directory path. Then boot using the XP CD and choose r for recovery console. Depending on the number of windows partitions, you may need to choose the correct partition and provide an administrator password. After that you will see a DOS-like prompt. Copy the missing file from the XP CD to the hard drive. The command should look something like this:
expand d:\i386\missingFile.ex_ c:\windows\system32
D: is your CDROM and C: is your hard drive. Make sure you copy it into the directory that you made a note of earlier.
Also, here is a link that talks about an infinite loop problem with ATI drivers http://www.sightsea.com/pghpchd/pages/infinite_loop.html

O2 XDA Stellar: Booting problem following Windows Live install

Hi guys, need your help.
Short version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla WM6.0. tried to install Windows Live but had to soft reset before it ended. now stuck at the green boot screen.
what besides hard reseting can i do? i don't mind breaking the device if i have to, but i want my data back. particularly my text messages. everything else that i need is backed up.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
what i've tried:
- soft reseting a number of times
- remove SD card
- removing Battery for a couple of minutes before putting it back in
- connecting USB cable. "nothing pops-up on computer"
- SMSing it. "it rings"
- pressing all buttons on surface of device.
no success
thanks for any help
Long version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla 6.0. today i downloaded Windows Live for windows mobile to update the one i already had on my device. while it was installing before it reached the end, i got a pop-up telling me that i was running out of space. and it just stayed like that, progress bar wouldn't move. so i went to the device deleted a couple of pictures and tried to cut/paste the voice notes from device to storage card. it refused to allow it. so i decided to soft reset.
when i did soft reset, it got to the green boot screen and is stuck there.
after along wait, i get a white screen telling me the device can't boot because i might have "turned off the device incorrectly" or installed an insecure software and that my only option is to hard reset and lose everything.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
Thanks

Brand new WM 6.0 phone won't turn on :(

I am about to burst out in tears
Oh yeah, Hi, my name is sitnet, I just registered.
Today I bought a HKC Mova 305 windows mobile 6.0 phone. You won't know the make, it is a local service provider make. It doesn't have any warranty, it was on promotion for very VERY cheap.
This is the problem:
When I turn it on it just shows the logo of the service provider (a splash screen) and then the screen goes dark (logo still visible in sunlight), but it doesn't do anything from there on. So then I did a soft reset (with a small reset button) but still the same thing.
Then I started experimenting, the phone has a load of buttons, there is a wheel on the side with a button below it and then also a camera button. I held in the button under the wheel and the power button together then this menu came up:
Code:
PB Update!
Connecting ...
INFO: Trying to initialize USB RNDIS...
HostMiniInit:: !!
Rndis:: initialization: with addr-0
Rndis:: initialization!
Rndis:: PDDInit success!
Rndis:: Get MAC address 4500,5634,9A78
Rndis:: initialization: Fail!
ERROR: Failed to initialize Bulverde Rndis USB Ethernet controller.
ERROR: Failed to detect and initialize Ethernet controller
Then I removed and reinsterted the battery and pressed the wheel button in while pressing the power button and got this menu:
Code:
------------------------
Xloader Version:
Eboot Version: Eboot-1.02-02
1(W): Update with SD Card
2(T): Boot from IPL KITL disable
3(B): Doc Update
4(L): Format Partition
5(R): Test Memory
-----from oallog--------
Enter your selection:
The buttons associated with the selections do not do anything though, BUT I experimented that I can select any of the options (except nr.4) with other buttons.
Ok and lastly when I press the Camera button and the power button together it says "KITL enable" and then only shows the splash screen again but forever.
This is my very first Windows mobile phone. I have no clue what to do
I have read that there is a way to reinstall the rom or something. I will do anything to get the phone working.
Here is the phone: ucables.com/ref/TELKOM-MOVA-305-PDA-P-R105795
Please, please I beg of anyone to help me, I will be so grateful it can't even be described in words.
EDIT: OK I found out that when pressing the "red dot" button (it changes between numbers and letter while typing) and the power on button it says waiting for USB connection and then I plugged it in and it installed as a "pocketPC" and now it says "Updating" on the screen. I'm just going to wait...
THANX so much guys!!!

Did you manage to get the phone booting. I`ve got the same problem with a phone I got today.
Kind regards

Got a link that might help. Haven`t tried it yet: expansys.jp/ft.aspx?k=119230
PS: Another name for the mova 305 is UBiQUiO 503G

ive got the same problem with mine...let me know if there's any changes

I found a link that will help. My phone is loading into windows mobile now. Not hanging on splash screen.
Good luck
expansys.jp/ft.aspx?k=119230
just add www to the front of the url. Wasnt able to post full link.

Thanx for the reply, i tried that method and could actually install that rom on the phone through the "super rom update" utility.However, when the phone restarts it still does the same thing...It just shows the telkom logo for 4 seconds then the phone switch off.
Any suggestions?
Thanx

So, somebody is trying to sell this phone again! And with the same useless initial rom in it as I can see!
The same support site has a new version of the rom that is 3.05 instead of the 2.2 here
Originally they were selling this phone with an extra special cable just for flashing the radio part of the rom but as far as I know it is no longer offered.
I think there is someone from China that posted on the same site that he's flashed WM6.5 on it but the guy disappeared! See here.
There is also more info on the Modaco website and an even a new rom! You will need to flash the 3.05 first then the 3.10 at Modaco. It is new but it is only a 6.0 rom but it addresses issues that people had with the phone. The Modaco website has more info about this phone.

[q] pda p 3300 sem boot loader

Good day if I'm in the right place, I would like to report a HTC P3300, was originally in French under the wm 5 it was in a Paris shop that I purchased it after a while I did an upgrade if I do not mistake by HTC
and stayed for so long with wm 6, later began to check websites and forums on new roms, unlock the USPL and installed several versions until I found one in English to 6.5.5 was the most beautiful and functional I found
is provided by MMS, but look great i found another more beautiful, but asked to switch to the USPL ELF_USPL 1.17.000 AND SYSTEM accepted and requested to download the Rom version 3.19.4.3 of WM_23138_FULL_UPLOAD,
there was the biggest blunder I made, but the process has started arriving around 3% of the process was interrupted and the screen of the P3300 is gone along with all the leeds yet energized with the bottom of the screen a little clearer when it rebooted already returned
with the screen totally black and no longer lit leeds, I tried all the processes of red soft reset and reset all, when you go to boot loader it does not appear, but charges the battery by USB and wall fountain, if you connect the USB cable PC and PDA hear a beep
strong on the PC that is characteristic of the PC found a device, leed top of a wink and just, always black screen, the icon appears as POCKET PC USB SYNC but
IS NOT NOTHING MORE, BEFORE RETURNING TO A WORKSHOP which is 700 KM from me would like to know of you who understand this system, I think he lost the firmwere the rom and would like to know what and how it is being reset firmwere the tools with which to do it, if I could at least enable the boot loader would have a hope that he does but not all, the sign of life that is left is only the flashing red leed upper right when you insert the USB and appears Icon on the PC and when it introduces the USB wall fountain, but Windows Device Center does not recognize, do I have any hope? Greetings to all who can guide me, thanks.

Please help, really need it... bootloop

Basically what is now my phone is catch and display the image of "WARNING; BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" and it restarts constantly, only to arrive there and restart again... like a "bootlop"
GOOGLE SEARCH FOR ALL SOLUTION IN FORUMS IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, no case ...
Apparently my mistake was to install an official ROM on my device MOTOROLA using fastboot way...
It do not recognize charger or usb, I can enter the bootloader menu (which lets you choose factory normal startup, recovery ... you know which one) but by choosing an option that quickly returns to the same pattern discussed above (I select, and automatically jumps screen "warning, bootloader unlocked" and restarted to reach this constantly ..)
Do not recognize the USB or charger by simple selection, because I could not turn off the phone because they did not respond to any command, even if i use physical buttons, and obviusly i dont have acces to digital buttons...... .
However I can go to the "Fastboot" where would the bootloader menu, and there does not even recognize the charger or usb mode ...
is not recognized by selection, not because my port is broken or something, because I notice it because I could not do anything, IT WAS CONSTANTLY RESET DURING HOURS, overheating to the point it ran out of battery and I connect ... and I get the typical image of charging (battery symbol with 0%) and a second later (1% estimate when loading ...) happens again, without notice or other visually perceptible signal it restarts and does Just what i explain in the beginning ....
it doesnt recognize usb or charger... even when restarting or fastboot or bootloader mode menu NOT ACKNOWLEDGE DECIDES NOT RECOGNIZE IT, THE USB PORT ISNT NOT DAMAGED ...
I wonder if anyone could come up with the solution to have had this problem since I see that I'm the first to commit such stupidity to install an official rom via fastboot .....
And I can not find anyone with the same problem as me, nor the solution, even after having googled quite ..
could anyone tell me more or less to do?
not recognize in any way the usb connection, and the charger all ...
so it seems that the phone is broken? I doubt they can give you something that you can only destroy via software, although it is not impossible ... i didnt did so much, i just install something that i shouldnt.. should be any fix for it, and i must not be the first having this problem!
I hope you can help me, since the phone is relatively new and is to me a shame to pay now AR$4500 (1 usd = 8,50 AR$ ) i live in argentina, third world, thats why the price is high... and why i dont talk english so good, but i really really need help...
or in order to have another decent phone i will need to pay a high amount of money... hope you can help me, i know in this forum you can find very smart and helpfull people, youre my last chance
regards from argentina...
