Prophet stuck in bootloader HELP!

1st off I DID use the search button.... 2nd HELPPP ME!!!
Waaah :'( I have a most intriguing problem I was running pdaviet 4.0.0.6 Touch for almost 2 weeks now without a single glitch.. the phone fell on my carpet and went to bootloader screen and eversince then it has never recovered I tried a hard reset it didn't work when I was pressing the send button it did nothing I did some forum searches and tried putting back the nvid RUU and it said that the update was succesfull and the progress bar on the phone moved accordingly but it went back to the bootloader screen ... then I tried pdaviet temp rom that was in the package still no go I can tell it works somehow because the USB lights up in the bottom left when I plug the usb cable and the progress bar that moves, but I'm getting desperate IPL and SPL info is in my sig...

same same... but i dropped mine before flashing the new PDAVIET touch rom.. still went fine..
now, it still flashes... RUU says its successful.. but PDA just reboots back to bootloader..
i can charge my phone fine in bootloader.. i can see the USB come on when i connect it to my computer.. other than that, can't do anything...
i've tried everything the past 2 days.. looks like i'll have to send it back to dopod.. will let u guys know what happens... probably something got damaged..

struck at bootloader
I tried WM6 (4.0.0.6 touch) from WM5 AKU 2.2 but it failed in between with some write message,which was bit strange as I didn't touch any key on laptop during that time and no program was being run at that time. (I am using VISTA Home premium). I got my phone into bootloader but it does not connect to my laptop...so cant upgrade back to AKU 2.2. In Windows Mobile Device Center, I cant see my device connected. So is it particular to Vista or my phone got bricked?
I am yet to try on Windows XP, which I have to arrange.
Please advise.

i had the sam problem.i installed this : try to install the 2.20 nvid rom
just go into bootloader mode-you dont need active sync connection and start the upgrade-search for 2.20 nvid rom download it and recover your device

I tried the same but when I run ROMUpdateUtility_No_VenderID, I get a message 'Update Error, 260' which tells further that PDA is not connected to laptop., although it is very much connected. However LED on PDA does not blink as well.
When I plug in this phone to Wall adaptor, LED does show up.
'USB' appears at Bottom Left corner of PDA when connected to laptop and certainly its getting recognised by Vista as it starts installing Driver as soon as this is connected to laptop.
Please suggest.

I am stuck in the same situation, although I have a G3, running 2.20 on IPL & SPL

Working now
I tried on XP (I was trying on vista before)..I had to install Active Sync as it was not installed on that PC, then run RUU update for AKU 2.2 and update was successfull. Now will try Touch 4.0.0.6 again but this time on XP.
Hope this time I wont have any problems.

whaa!help needed!

Hello there,
I tried to flas my MDA and now it stays in bootloader (1.01). Whatever I do: it stays there! (hard/factory reset and what not). Whenever I want to install a new rom by a RUU application, this goes wrong as well!Any help would be much appreciated!

Ive the same problem @ the moment! I tried to do a Rom update and then an error appeared and the installation failed and the recovery afterwards aswell! Now my Universal stucks in the bootloader mode showing USB v. 1.01! How can I get out of this mode! I tried the hard reset, like joenie described but i didnt work!

I have the same problem sometimes when I change ROM version, the installer reboots the PDA in USB mode and nothing, the installer display an error and crash. The PDA in not recognized correctly in USB mode.
It is due to your PC (Activesync crashes in silent mode and disable WM device drivers) and not the UNI!!!
Try restart activesync (open it), unplug and replug the UNI and restart installer, the installer will not recognize the actual ROM version but it should be working...
If it fails try to restart the PC or uninstall and reinstall activesync and retry installation...
Be carrefull because in USB boot mode the UNI cannot charge the battery, if the battery is down, you cannot restart installation (And cannot disable boot mode).
I was affraid the first time of USB boot lock (It was the panic, UNI bricked...) but now, I know the problem and I resolve it fastly (restart activesync).
Good luck!!!

Hey thanks for all the advices! i found a really good tutorial how to unbootloader it. But the actuall problem is that windows vista is not having any active sync like Windows XP. I now you can download a windows mobile device manager and I tried the deactivation of the USB port over this one, but it didnt work! Is there any other methode oder way how to get access to the phone to change the status?
Thank You very much!

Can you add here the link of the tutorial???
May be try remove usb devices in the device manager of Vista and reboot the PC to redetect the UNI USB drivers.

well lad's and gent's..
I found out what my real problem was
It was a broken USB-cable :|.. wtf!!!
Well anyway. I think you guys are great! all the posts/helps!!

It some else to do???
I try to flash my JASJAR and I brick it........The instaler send my an error and I stuck in bootloader but the instaler window says to cool reset the Universal and the Bootloader was gone and the universal now is death, can't turn on and no Boot...Its bricked and I still crying!!!!.....

Well I have installed a new Rom yesterday on my Q9000...
I whas using my laptop which has Vista on it. Dont know what happend but I got an error msg on my laptop...Tried to reboot my Qtek but it whas hanging on the bootup screen(the 1st screen which shows all Rom/ext rom and Radio version). No matter what I did it refused to bootup...
When plugging in my Qtek on to my laptop, the bootloader screen changed from serial to Usb...
Finally I tried it on the desktop wich still runs on XP and it did the Romupgrade without any pain...
I did several Romupgrades on my Herald all on my Vista laptop without any problems...I don't really understand what or why, maybe because the Qtek is older than the P4350 that it is less compatible with Vista?
Bottom line, I now have a Qtek 9000 which is fast ...

O2 XDA Exec Won't Power On after Unccessfull ROM Upgrade

Hi...
I was trying to Upgrade my O2 XDA Exec Rom with Windows Mobile 6.5 by explode. The process went successfully till 99% and after that it ended up with Error. Then I unplugged my pda from the pc and tried to restart the device. I was surprised that the device did not respond to any of the following
Soft Reset
Hard Rest
Boot Loader mode Start (Bulb + Power + Reset)
It is totally blank screen whatever you do.
When I connected the device to the pc with usb cable, a Red Light is shown for 2 seconds and then goes off and a message comes up on the pc that "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED".
Then I tried to Remove battery from the device for a whole night and the next day morning i did all the above procedures again to get no results.
Kindly Help me out
Thanks
Dinesh Kumaar

I think you have been bricked your device...

if it's not recognized, remove the SIM card, the SD card, and on the PC open activesync and disable usb connections. for more info open this link

ARE YOU RUNNING windows XP on your PC?

Yes ! I have Windows XP SP2 and Active Sync Version 4.5.0 (Build 5096)

have you tried to upgrade another ROM, and if you did, is your PDA now working?

I cannot update my rom as my pc cannot recognize my device. is there any other way to update rom?

Try to reflash with another ROM
Hope it helped
And don´t forget to vote!

I had already done those steps to get no results.
its my badluck.

If you cannot get into bootloader and you have done the steps above, then you cannot flash to another rom.......it would seem you now have a paperweight im afraid

I am still not able to revive my device. I know that it is just due to corrupt bootloader but don't know how to repair it.
If anybody ever has solution for this... kindly let me know.
Regards

Have you tested mtty?
I would recommend to PM a chef on Universal forum
Good luck,

Mtty is not detecting my device
it says can't open usb port

One More thing I have noted is that when I keep the device connected with the pc, at a certain interval of about 10-15 mintues my device's Led shows RED Light for few seconds and then turns off followed by the the "USB device not recognized" on my pc.
I hope this can be used as a hint towards reviving my device.
Regards

have you followed orbs advise above and pm a chef on that section, they maybe able to help. From my knowledge (limited on that device) i ddont think there is any recovery proceedure that you have not tried. Have u downloaded offical wm5 rom and tried it. I know and appreciate that it will probably not work due to corrupt bootloader, but what else is there to do??
To understand more, what did you do PRIOR to trying to flash to 6.5.
Did you hardspl correctly? Had you already flashed to another rom and just felt like flashing to another new rom?? Give us more detail.

Thanks for your reply
I dont know how to PM Chef.
I had used 3 other Rom versions of WM6.1 on my device. They ran very much fine on my device. But When i found WM6.5 xplode, I wished to try that too. But the rom update procedure went successfully till 99% and after that it showed an error that upgrade was not successfull. I pulled out the device and tried to restart if by all methods but I wasnt able to power on at all.
Thanks
Regards

ok, goto the thread that you got the rom off, click the chefs name and you will get a menu there to send pm, do it, he might have seen a similar problem or know how to correct bootloader.
good luck

noup really no...
Is bricked
my bro has bricked an Universal and the same led turns red no power off no bootloar no power it means the flash chip is dead!
Sorry to heard that.
He waits too long for the upgrade it tooks at least 40 minutes
then ERROR... but you know... the batt was died in middle process ( th batt was ****ed up, it say full charged but no! it was on 60 or 50%) then the stupid thing is make a hardreset.. i told him dont hR your device... justa simple reste and reinit the process... and huh! its bricked.
if you are interested on sell your parts
maybe my bro want some parts.

my advice(similar to other people):
1. Charge your batery somehow (in other device or anything else)
2. put your devce in bootloader mode and connect it to pc - it wll be detected like microsoft usb sync
3. use mtty try difrend versions becuse sometimes 1.42 does not detect it properly - read here for what to do with mtty
IMO this may be battery problem or nand chip problem - in both cases it is hardware fail

Maybe bricked?

Hey guys, my VOX doesn't boot anymore
I had the latest 6.5 ROM installed. First, I couldn't connect AS via USB, but BT worked. Now, after a reboot, I get this tri coloured bootloader, when I try to start the VOX or plugin the usb cable.
I tried to flash the same rom again, but after 2 seconds it says 100% and that's it, still the bootloader
Now ill try to flash the original HTC rom, but i dont expect this to work
Anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance!

i may have bricked my phone please help

i cant believe i did this but i have a sprint tp2 and i accidentally install the wrong rom, i installed 1.8b_Sense_2.5_2012_Full, and after the update the phone wont turn on so i cant even do the bootloader. and hard reset either, nothing is responding. is there any way i can get out of this with a working phone?? would the people at sprint be able to help? and please no smart ass comments im really bummed out about this right now

It should be ok if you only install a gsm rom. If you installed a gsm unlocker than it is bricked. Just push the bootloader buttons with the phone off. If it doesn't go to bootloader it is bricked.

i installed the rom but i think the damn thing CAME with the radio unlocker inside the rom. i cant get into bootloader...

please help

If you can't get into bootloader and it wont turn on it is bricked.

Not to hijack the thread, but on the subject of bricking the phone...
I tried to install Hard SPL using SSPL Manual (downloaded from a link on ppcgeeks.com). I ran it from the phone, and the screen blanked as normal, but no USB device was detected after doing so and the manual Hard SPL would not work either.
I tried to reset and remove the battery. The phone will not turn on, will not enter boot loader mode, nothing! EXCEPT for one thing, when I plug in USB now, it is detected as a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. No driver though (Win 7 or Win XP).
Is there any way to recover from this?

Hi, I have the exact same issue as the member above. I tryed to go to the ftp site you reccomended, but can't download. Can you please help! I cant sleep or think of anything else. Can't believe I did that to my phone.

go here and then to touch pro 2 stock roms. ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/

Thanks for the replies.
I can't load the stock ROM since the phone is not recognized by ActiveSync. While you can see it when you connect USB, it isn't actually usuable as there is no driver loaded for it. And many drivers I've tried for it do not work either.
I did try [to install the ROM] though just to make sure there was no magic going on behind the scenes, but no go.
EDIT: Grammer fix
