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?

i think i have brick my dopod 818pro.. Please help

i think i have brick my dopod 818pro

then installed the pdaviet 4.0.0.0.1 from pc
and it is done.
very nice screen

tq very much

Hi, how did you manage to solve the issue?
My situation is a little different.
-Load Step 1... ok Successful
-Load Upgrade_Rom.bat... completed
But when I reboot the PDA I just get this screen!!!
Nothing is responding.
PC cant detect the device.
Hard reset also get back to the same screen.
Please help

reboot your device into the bios screen (reset while holding camera button)
at that point i usually just put on the default WM5 comming from QTEK to reestablish operations.
i am using the prophet touch series from gullum and for that i do the following steps after having reestablished the WM5.
Put on PDAViet_TEMP
wait until phone restarts and shows 'Touch to get started'
Put on the Prohvet Touch (VIII or IX Beta)
Hard Reset (Com and Cam button, wait for the message asking to confirm afetr you release the reset button but hold on to com and cam buttons until message pops up) Confirm Hard Reset
So far i repeated this process about 6 times and it works every time
best of luck

need explanation
im planning to buy a dead prophet.....as the seller states...when he posted the pic, it still enters bootloader mode...but it shows
IPL: 1.00
SPL: 2.20.0001
Can this still be repaired? and is this possible? how can i repair it...it is being sold at a very cheap price

I've had similar issues and by just putting the original rom or the WM5 if you can enter bootloader mode thenit comes back to live. Once WM5 which is very stable is loaded, you can upgrade to the WM6 roms. Has always worked for me but it is a bit nerve racking to see the thing frozen. The key when upgrading is to use than WM5 rom and upgrade from there.

can you still get to bootloader?

No more bootloader screen, just a blank white screen.
I had the bootloader screen b4 and tried to reflash it, even though flash was successful, it still turns off after splash screen. So I tried one of the Qtech bootloader roms and flash that, now it's worse than before. I only get a blank white screen when I load the bootloader.

i also got the problem with my sda, it also happened while flashing, do u already found a solution

Guys, are you speek about one subj? Bootloader mode is activated when you start your device with camera button pressed. There is NO white screen - in bootloader mode OS is NOT loading at all! But - you can start re-flashing process as usual
If it works, I recommend you to flash back your native ROM and then check the device. If everything is fine - you know what to do If not - let's continue thread...
And one more thing - are you sure, that your SDA is based on Tornado platform? AFFAIN SDA has two reincarnations - one of them is based on Typhoon platform, other one - on Tornado one. There are a LOT of cases, when people flased Tornado ROM to the first one and had a dead device after it Be VERY carefull!!!

so in this case, it seems like it's mine, just got a white screen and no bootloader mode

I would be lucky if I can still get into bootloader mode which means there is life left. Now, all I get is a white screen on the Tornado( it's a T-mobile SDA-silver color with bump). I am looking to see if the dealer would be able to revive it. I got a MDA now

About get into bootloader there's enough hints from peoples above. Simply hold camera button while you press the power button, and soon you will see a three color stripped screen, without normal booting splash like "DOPOD". Then you'll be able to flash as you like with RUU of MTTY.
I'm just guessing you've been flashed a Radio version over 02.00.09. As I know, you have to upgrade your IPL version to 2.00 as well as a SPL upgrade to version 2.00.00, for the new RADIO to work. Just a hint you may not noticed.

there's nothing you can do. I had similar experience, went to bunch of services, no one could fix it.

Some one can repair it by "change the code lib", I don't know how to say it in english. But apparantly someone in my city can do it without touch your phone.

Can't get into bootloader

I am unable to get into boot loader mode.
I've pressed camera + power and reset as usual but it won't go into bootloader it just boots the phone up.
I managed to get into bootloader mode using a KaiserCustomRRU and then it picked up the new ROM from the SDCard but when i press power to flash the rom nothing happens.
I can still boot into windows mobile and the power button works when I press it there.
I only got this kaiser a day ago is it possible this is a new version or something?
Please help!

Are you fully pressing the Camera button, it has two levels, it must be presses in fully and help whilst you restart your phone with the stylus (or turn on if the phone is off).
Off Topic:
This makes a nice change, helping someone into bootloader, rather than someone stuck in it.
Dave

Yup I'm pressing it down super hard, I've had the kaiser since it came out so I know I'm doing it as usual. For some reason it isn't working this time.
I had lots of trouble flashing HardSPL aswell! Now this problem with entering boot loader. This is getting irritating .

Does the Camera button work normally? I.e. Launches the camera in Windows.
What problems are you having with HardSPL?
Dave

Yup camera button does work normally.
I had to reset the device loads of times before customRUU noticed that the phone was plugged in.
At the moment I'm stuck in RUUNBH recovery mode in HardSPL. It detects that I have put a memory card with a KAISIMG.nbh into the phone, it says that it will flash radio, rom, splash and says press power to continue but when I press power nothing happens. Now no matter what I do I can't get out of HardSpl and I can't even flash a rom anymore

Check the link in my sig for getting out of the bootloader...
Dave

Thanks so much
Ok so its booting up again but I'm still having the same problem, ie it won't get me into bootloader using camera and power button.
I can't even press the 2 buttons to clear storage either, it just boots straight into the rom.

Very strange...
Why do you need to access the Bootloader? To flash from SD Card?

Dave

Yup also I'm having weird problems which I think are associated with this particular problem.
When I boot up the rom lots of keys just randomly get pressed. e.g. if I have a pin set loads of characters will be put into the input box and the only way i can stop it is by pressing a hardware button.
I'm trying to flash a dutty rom which I know doesn't really have those kinda problems to see if its just the rom, although other people aren't reporting the same problem with the rom though :/

Flash back to your Original ROM, Radio and SPL. If the problems are still occuring, take it back to the shop, IMO.
Dave

Know where I can find the original T-mobile splash?

Reverted everything back to default now, still got the same problem so I'm going to get a replacement send out to me tomorrow.
Do you think there is a new version of the kaiser that messes up when you flash hardspl?

I doubt they gave you that newer Model what doesn't work.
I think it is the SPL that figures out wether or noot to boot the OS or run the Bootloader... when loading the OS the SPL checks for what keys are pressed and goes into the SPL or OS.
If Hard SPL and the OEM SPL fail to load the bootloader, there must be something wrong with the device IMO.

I have the same problem with key press, it happened after a recent flash to a new rom.
I have found out what keys it is in my case. It is the "button 6" (voice recorder) and "edfc".The last are just endlessly pressed. Anybody knows how to fix this? My temporary fix was to remap button 6 to "rotate screen" but it is really anoying. I would like to just disable button 6, until I can return it, if there is no fix.
The problem has persisted over 3 roms now (PV rom (8 oct by medkid) - where it all started, Garmin 4.3 and now hyperdragon III 6 oct)
any help will be greatly welcomed!

Unable to enter bootloader

Hi there !
I have a big problem: touchscreen on my polaris has stopped working without an apparent reason so I decided to format it in order to solve the problem. I'm using the latest superfroyo but I decided to rollback to the RLS6 because it seemed to be more stable than the RLS12 (in my case). But here's the real issue: I can't enter bootloader mode (soft reset and camera button)...I don't really understand what's going on, I've tried everything, edited every single .nbh I could have downloaded but it doesn't work...dead...What can I do? any idea? Please I need advices....otherwise I have to consider a Wildfire or a Legend (what a sacrifice, huh ? )
Tnx a lot guys !!!

bootloader is many times discussed.
Press camera button and 2x times reset.
Or remove battery (few second will be enough), then turn on the phone, and standart method will also work (camera buttno + reset)

No way...it didn't work...I've flashed another .nbh file, I put it in the sd root and I was able to enter Bootloader mode, but when asked for pressing power button the phone frozen up...and now i can't enter BL anymore as before...any idea?...I'm going slightly mad...
