Stuck in bootloader, please help!

Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..

Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!

No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers

I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?

Continuous soft resets...

Ok, So I had dutty's rom running perfect for about 5 months. Decided I wanted to revert back to the stock ATT rom and play with it. I tried to revert and somewhere along the way, I did a soft reset and it screwed me up. I can still flash roms no problem, but for some reason, when the phone goes to start up, it gets to the first screen of the boot process (white with ATT logo) and then it freezes. After about 10-15 seconds, it automatically soft resets and tries again. So, I can hit the reset button while holding cam and pwr to get to the bootloader. I have tried flashing every rom I have downloaded, and nothing seems to work. I am trying the stock ATT rom as I type this but we will see what happens. That is what I was running when it F'd. I wanted to restore it to stock completely, thought about trying to have it replaced because the hinge is really loose on my handset. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What does your bootloader screen show?

Please Help!
Okay. I tried to flash the OEM rom back to my ATT Tilt. While doing this, somehow my phone entered an unending cycle of soft resets. I can still get to the bootloader, but as soon as I flash a rom, it tries to boot, gets to the first boot screen, then resets. My computer keeps popping up "install drivers for new hardware found".
I tried booting through MTTY, no dice.
My bootloader screen reads:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.01OliPof
CPLD-8
I tried flashing hardspl. RUU opens and it runs instantly. The phone reboots and the boot loader screen still reads this. I flash a new rom, the bootloader still reads this. I'm at a loss. I've been working on this for 3 hours and I haven't gotten anywhere. I don't have a backup phone, so I have to figure this problem out. I have searched the forums and haven't found anyone with the same problem. Please, anyone who feels they can help, let me know what I can try to fix this problem. Thanks!

Some people go to far ahead before figuring out the real issue. Don't **** yourself.
Hold down your power, camera, and insert your stylus then tell us what your bootloader screen displays.

and your bootloader screen will not change because it does not display the rom version. You have hardspl installed what more do you want?
Did you believe your bootloader screen would change after you flashed a rom?
Damn!!!

Dude it has been five months since you flashed a rom why bother getting all neurotic and worried For a common situation? I complained to mods because they closed your thread now I look like a douche bag. Thanks.

I had the same problem (continuous reboot) as before, see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383678
but the problem that I had is because of bad blocks, post your info 8 and maybe I can help

ok, I got the phone to startup, eventually it stopped trying to soft reset. I hit the power button and it turned on. Now, I run jumpspl and it doesn't ever bring up the USB connection, so I can't change the bootloader back to oem. any suggestions?

I used the other version of jumpspl (1.56) and it brought up the USB connection (atleast it says it did). But, when I try to run RUU from the ATT_SPL folder it cannot connect to my phone. MTTY says USB connection is unavailable as well. What should I do?! I want the phone to be able to be sent in for warranty replacement as the hinge seems to keep getting looser and looser. Any ideas? Bootloader still reads the same as before.

If your sending it for warranty replacement via AT&T just put it in the microwave for 2 seconds....problem solved.

Error 260 Update Error

Hi
I get this problem too often and I dont know why and what I did do when I dont get it. This is the case.
Now I have flashed the g3 wizard with one of the wm6-manilla roms. I have succeded with this once so I have followed the guides with the unlocking and downgrading etc. Now I have downloaded a new cook and try to install it by starting the rom update utility wizard.
Problem is that the installation ALWAYS fails now. It starts, the device disconnects from activesynk, waits another 30 seconds then fails to restart the device so I get the dreadful Error 260 update error and the phone is dead. I remove the battery, restart the device and try again and my hair turns grey.
I figure I need to downgrade first so I try all the differens RUU's that are pointed out in the guides (CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe, ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship.exe, Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe) but always the same problem.
What am I missing?
WinXP
AS4.5
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26

Once downgraded and CID unlocked,a G3 device will remain CID unlocked forever,there's no need to downgrade everytime you flash a new rom.Just simply flash a new rom whenever you desire.So don't reflash Button's Rom 1.05 before every flash,its just required to flash once to get IPL/SPL 1.xx for CID unlocking,after which there's no need to reflash it again.
Error 260 is due to open port,so reboot your pc and Soft Reset the phone,hope it'll work fine.If you have reflashed Button's Rom 1.05 and downgraded,it wud be better if you perform the CID unlocking procedure again through lokiwiz02b or WST_4.2.2,after that upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx by either flashing T_mobile 2.26 or any official aku 2 rom,then upgrade to any wm6.1 rom.
You can even take out the battery and leave it for 30 minutes,after that put it back and try to flash.

Hmm.. now I have rebooted the pc and disconnected the battery for 30 mins. No luck. Still the same error.
There must be something I have missed. I have flashed with several roms before w/o any trouble.
I am connected to activesync as a guest on usb-cable.
Oh i didnt downgrade because it failed that too. So right now im on a wm6 manilla pretty good rom but the wifi's gone

Try flashing from bootloader:
* Hold down the camera button and then softrest without letting go of the camera button.
You should se a pretty tri color screen with IPL/SPL Information.
* Connect Wizard to PC using usb and wait for windows to detect the drivers if they are not already installed.
* Start your RUU and follow the steps.
Normally this error occurs when trying to flash under vista, if this is the case visit a friend who has XP and take some coffee

It gets worse im afraid.. and I am under XP.
Now the phone wont pass the t-mobile bootscreen. It gets stuck when showing the IPL/SPL information.
I fail to enter the bootloader. Hopefully im doing something wrong.
I have tried this:
1) Holding down cam-button and pressing soft-reset. The phone boots as normal but stucks at same place.
2) soft-reset and when sceen goes black, hold cambutton. Doing this makes the boot halt totaly and the screen remains black. Looks like it turns off cause the softreset wont work and I have to press the powerbutton to get life signs again.
How (exactly) do I get it into bootloader?

Evolution... i managed to do a hard-reset and got the phone to boot up again. So back to square one with not being able to use the ubs+ruu
hmm very strange.. in a desperate attemt to get into bootmode i held down the voice-button instead of the cam-button and then power-on. Not it worked! Mystic....
***
update! problem solved
In case anyone else reads this. I rebooted the pc for the 10th time, rebooted the phone at the same time and (a dramatic paus here) i pulled the usb-cable and placed it in another slot in the pc. And there it goes...
I dont work with computers... i work against them!

[Q] Can't flash? Stuck at bootloader

Hey guys'n'gals!
I got a QTEK 9100 and I'm stuck at the bootloader screen, it feels like i've tried everything but I can't start the phone.
So I read this tutorial:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
And when I run the Wizard Love Rom exe it tries to verify my phone, but since it's at bootloader screen, ActiveSync won't connect, which results in error from RUU.
Am I doing something wrong or can someone please give me detailed instructions on how to fix this, since I really need my phone!
At bootloader screen it says:
RUU
IPL 2.17
SPL 2.17
USB

Can I please get some help?

I am not sure what you are describing.
It seems like maybe you are trying to install the ROM but RUU won't connect because you are in the bootloader?
Does your phone boot into a ROM, or is is stuck in the bootloader?
If so, do not despair, as long as you see the bootloader your phone can be revived.
I will try to help but need a more thorough description of what you have done and what state your phone is in.

Yes my phone is stuck in bootloader, and every time I boot the phone, I get stuck in the bootloader. This happend after I got stuck in a ROM installation on 99%.
And ActiveSync won't connect since I can't get out of bootloader.
And I don't think that the phone is CID Unlocked.

Some versions of RUU require ActiveSync, others don't. I found an RUU that works from just the bootloader, but I don't remember where. Perhaps it was RoryB's kitchen, I know he included an RUU, and I think maybe it works from just the bootloader.

Please Help !. HTC One Mini stuck in BOOTLOADER Menu

My HTC One mini swtiched off a couple of days ago and since then only load to bootloader menu no matter what I click or do. It goes also automatically to this screen as soon as I plug it with the charger even if did not press the on/off key.
I tried to unlock the bootloader according to the instructions on HTCDev.com site. Everythings work till the last step, as no menu appear on my phone asking me if I want to unlock the bootloader or not.
I also tried to use RUU to install a new Firmware. The phone showes a black screen for a couple of seconds and then restart again to bootloader screen. I got an error afterwards.
The phone was running on a stock firmware, no root, no custom recovery, or any other thing.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem. It seems my phone has no OS or something like that.
PLEASE HELP

I seem to be in the same situations... although I got to it in a different way. Where did you download the RUU from? is it version-main: 4.14.401.2 or higher?
Try: rootwiki dot net and search for htc one mini bootlocker unlock....this helped me to UNLOCK and put TWRP recovery on it... maybe it gets you a step closer.
