Hi Guys
Please could any on help me i have a orange spv m5000 i think i flashed wrong rom killed phone, but have managed to hard reset via, on button plus the two minus buttons and the soft reset hole, but when i press 0 to restore factory defaults i then see the text ( serial and v2.01 ) but phone will not start up, when i plug in usb cable the only thing that shows up in windows is (pocketpc smartphone) in the safely remove hardware on taskbar then i tryed uni_exitbootloader but get error (cannot open usb port) i have stopped activesync usb detection, but still no joy.
is there a way to get the usb port opened or is this phone bricked, Man i hope not i loved this phone and cant really afford to get another (Real hard times!) Man i hate learning the hard way.
I also read somewhere that the phones batterie memory can get curupted and there is a way to fix it by shorting out the pins if any one has that info that would be great as well.

if you think you can help would you be so kind as to send me an email telling me howto, [email protected]

I'm pulling what's left of my hair out.. Somebody must know how to help me out.
My problem is. As a subby to a very large firm, I have been issued, along with hundreds of other guys, a T Mob MDA II details bit:-
R 1.06.01
G 1337.16
D 1.60.00WWE
I guess you'll need it. Well, an admin geeza has locked them all up sooo tight we can use it to make a phone call and oh yes the other thing receive a phone call.. Imagine my excitement!!!
NO menus no FUNctions nothing! just login as administrator. Now, though very basic, i have a laptop running W98, with Microsoft active sync 3.8, a comm D9 pin to cradle (XDA II from O2 shop) oh yes and no active sync!
what can i do to open access to this wonder of Tech and close the "Kiosk Switcher" window i may not escape from??
PLEASE HELP ME! P.s. great site guys, lookin forward to using my unit as soon as i can.
Doesn't it violate any company agreements/contracts if you modify your company issued MDA ?
Oh where to begin indeed...
Well, i have actually paid in full for the MDA. It's locked up to stop some ppl messing the things up. I'm not the brain of brit but i have a plan. 512mg MMc on its way and no danger of compant software being messed up. :idea:
Please do begin!! Help me..
Also, how long will it take for a donation receipt to come through, i'll need it for the tax man?
hi T3D,
did you try to hard reset it yet?
buzz
Hard reset
That's the power button and reset pin hold down thing yes? Well it all looked good! right up to the point when it ended at the locked window. back to Square 1
Thanks for the reply though.

Well, it sounds to me that they have modified a reg. string that gets loaded and written during the hard reset, (i.e. somewhere in the Ext_Rom!)
Try to press CANCEL while loading (installing) the ExtROM stuff and if the TAPDisable is functional.. then press on the center NAV button during the same process.
I know that restriction :evil: it sucks huh :?:
how about if you just reflash it to 1.72?
all that admin stuff will be gone as last year's snow...
you can even flash it with 1.60 stock version if you like...
buzz
still stuck!
Helpful.. Well, tried the cancel and nav button via hard reset and no joy as yet. now trying to read up on how to re flash.. Any suggestions? :?

Since you paid for it, take it to the admin geeza and tell him to unlock it.
Make sure you look menacing when you tell him.
Update!!
Joy, got in by nav keying the hard reset! Result, had a play but most s/w hadn't installed. This gave me a taste of things to come. Now i looked in the startup for this alpha sequence that boots the thing to locked window and realised it hadn't been installed yet so unable to get rid now i know it's there some where as i hard reset it again and back to sq 1 again!!! this stuff is stored somewhere, but where should i look. gained active link via IR aswell. will re try just need a map to the memory holding install S/W in the hope that maybe i can re write the lock up bit and hard reset to an open book!
Does any one know what the hell i'm on about???? :?
Now that you have succeeded in breaking the start-up sequence, you are left with a basic WM2003.
What did not install iis in the ExtROM.
IF
You install the ExtROM Tools (found on tis site), you can unhide the ExtROMand then one by one install the apps that are in there, UNTIL you find the one that introduces the blocking of functionalty. To do that (after unhide & unlock) look at the config.txt file. That file lists the installation script.
When you find the blocking app, one more time hard-reset, install the tools, inhide AND unlock and: Just remove the line with the app that introduces the blocking.
After you finished dont forget to LOCK the ExtROM & hard reset . . .
BTW Flashing is a good idea too, but maybe you lose some company-specific apps you might need . . .
good luck
I'm in atlast!!
Well i found the offending item last night after many resets and nav key meddling... looked in file explorer/storage and an auto run file(?) was there with a clue in it's title. i hadn't read the reply above at that time so i just put an mmc card in, cut n paste jobbie on the file to the mmc card and Bob became my uncle. I hard reset again to go for the full install and it stayed unlocked from the kiosk switcher!! RESULT! However, the above sounds like a far more sencible idea!! Will do that for the rest of the gang..
Thanks for all the help guys
oh one last Q' every 20-30 mins i get a pop up, bearing in mind i've been in every folder, programme and file, I may have changed a thing or two.. :?
"Cannot Connect
If you use a modem to connect to your ISP,
ensure that it is inserted correctly. To
connect to your work network, you must
create a modem (dailup) connection or a
VPN connection. To create a connection, tap settings.
Settings DISMISS"
What the F*** is that?? I'm still learning... What did i press?
...looks like some application is connecting regulary to internet over GPRS, but you didn't set it up yet. maybe email client...
buzz
Good point and makes sence!
I'll stop running programmes from start/settings/system/memory/running prog's, wait till it pops up and go look what's started, we'll see what it brings me..
As i type we find it's "acticesync". Cheers buzz, been a great help!!
i'm finding USB settings every where but my cradle is a D9 pin comm connection. Is there some specific settin listed in the instruction manuals we never had with the MDA's?
Oh yes. the V2.2 unlocker worked first time for me. No probs as yet to report... OPCS sim works fine. better signal in some places but only to be expected from a different network!
... it is funny...
i can remember, that there was a guy here on the forums, some time ago, asking how he can lock XDAs for employees... just wanted to allow them using the phone only...
maybe it was your geeza admin... ;o)))
try to search for those threads... maybe you'll find some interesting info..
buzz
Tellin me!
Buzz,
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE..... Just how much info there is on Locking these up. Every site every official O2 an T Mob Site hold details on who, where and how to lock the babys up. Could i find a thing on unlocking?? Beleive me I did my home work. I know soo much about the selfish safe software and by total luck i heard of this site. Full of PDA guru's i was told!
Hat's off to you guys, you got a great, all be it, hush hush reputation!
Cheers for the guidence guys. If i wasn't told you could interrupt the installer i would have tied a noose round the MDA's bettery by now!! Hope this string helps others in my OLD shoes.

Hi,
I am very lost here... I have been wandering around this forum for a while - but haven't found the answer for my problem.
I was updating my m500 using win98 and the latest update provided by Orange.nl
While upgrading my pc gave me a message 'new usb device found' and started installing it as new hardware. I think that's the reason the connection dropped and the update could not be finished.
I am now left with a m500 that gives me a dark screen and says 'serial v1.00' and when plugged in 'usb v1.00'.
But it doesn't give me anything else. I can't connect to the computer anymore, it seems like there's nothing on. ?
If somebody know's how to solve this: I would be very happy!
Thanks in advance!
Well - I am not so lost after all.
I downloaded the ROM update from the link found in the wiki area here, and just gave it a try: hooked on with usb and ran the installer. Good it have been more easy?
I guess the other update isn't so wonderfull after all...
Thanks for thinking along anyways - and hope this solution helps some one else in the future!
Well - I am lost again!
Since my battery was (nearly) empty [I let it go out to make sure I did everything ;-) ] the starting install went wrong: it fell out and became buggy. I tried to do exactly the same (after hanging on charger for a while) but it doesn't work anymore!
Somebody 's got a clue?
You're battery won't charge without an
OS on your magician. So find someone nearby to charge your battery for you. Somehow the tools work best with XP & some of them don't work at all with WIN98. The usb interface of WIN98 is far from perfect :-(
When you live close to Nijmegen you can drop by & we can save your phone. Otherwise find a friend with XP & have him/her install act.sync & update with a shipped-rom once more, but be quick before your battery totally runs out & you need a spare one to do the update.
Good luck, M
Ps. pls read my update guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46628
Hi oltp,
definitely not close to Nijmegen
I'll get a friend install active sync and do it over there, no big deal. But what about that battery thing? I read different stories about it.
Last thing I tried was letting it without battery for an hour to empty the complete backup battery. Plugging it in gave me a red light, where usually the green (or blue in case of BT) light burns.
It's in bootload now. But it doesn't get anything since when wanting to upgrade it give me empty stuff on the present image versions... I read one post about that, but no extra info on what that is... Do you know?
Thanks for your awesome work on this forum btw: you are really everywhere ;-)
When your battery is low you get a red led. General assumption is that the phone isn't charging the battery in bootloader mode.
The empty fields for current versions in the upgrade program are to be expected. Extract all the files from your shipped-rom & you'll find among others 'getdevicedata.exe'. That one's being send by act.sync to your device & executed on your device to produce a file with the current verdions. So your device must be running Windows to perform these functions. Now it simply can't determine your version & it's nothing to worry about.
Succes, M
ok, thanks. I'll find a friend with XP and get to there!
I'll post back what happened.
Well - I'm a happy camper again.
WinXP did it for me.
I think I got inspired doing all this stuff: let's pimp my MDA!
Thanks OLTP!
You're welcome & have fun with your new rom :!:
Off the record: Pimp your magician? Well I can prepare you some splash screens & today themes with which you really feel you're a pimp ;-)
[edit] it's no porn
Hi All,
I am havin Orange branded Kaiser.
All of sudden Sync not workin, so cant connect to computer, so I have decided to send it for repair.
But now problem is cant revertin back to soft SPL, Guys any Idea I can flash SPL through the MicroSD.
I am really stucked pls help me, will really appreciate
Thank you
sounds like your **** out of luck did you read the sticky on the top that explains how to do so? and maybe the rom you flashed was causing active sync not to work? was the phone charging? did you have the settings set correct seems like a strange thing to send a phone in for repair for to me
Can't sync is usaly a setting issue. Hard-Reset device first. If it still does not sync, send it back.

I completely agree, try other USB ports and try another computer.....
Thank you 4 yr responses Guys
I already have tried with diff. sync cables and diff. computers. I tried diff ROMs(includin HTC original shipped) as well but nothing happen.
It does charge the device perfectly but One thing is bit weired it is when you enter in bootloader mode(Camera+Power+Reset) on the top in tri color screen it shows the info abt SPL version and at the bottom it shows "Serial" and when you connect to PC with sync cable it shows "USB" and if you connect with power cable only it stays with "Serial" so at least device itself recognise connection type which is normal but doesnt connect with PC, there must be something blocking the connection in the device, what I think there could be a virus.
I am really in trouble, I desperately need original SPL to revert back 4 warranty
Pls help me
Thanx
It may be that my q-tek is bricked. To cut a long story short I am rebooting and it is getting stuck on the QTEK page displaying:
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
GSM 02.47.21
It also had OS2.20.7.34 but this is not showing.
Problem is - this is a swisscom fone and therefore I cannot access the original QTEK site as it fails to recongise my IMEI.
I have also tried in my ignorance to reflash it but now its stuck.
Is there anyway I can have access to the original English software so that I can try to reflash and re-install from scratch?
I also wanted to add that even a hard reset is not getting it to start up.
And another thing - sometimes the screen just freezes and breaks up in line and colours. What is that? Is my fone dead or dying?
Any help will be appreciated.

The three colour screen is bootloader. If you can get that, your device is recoverable.

This does work, I wrote it from past experience....
Hi,
thanks for your help. Did all your link said.
IT LIVES AGAIN!!!!! THANKS
One question though - if my fone still goes off and the screen feezes and fades out or breaks into lines - what sort of problem would that be?
Cheer!
Delgada
Depends... It could be the ROM, it could be the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the motherboard, it could be an IC (but I doubt that as you say it works)...
Hi.
I realised that last time i opened my Qtek something must have not been in place as I was pressing the case and the pda was freezing. I opened it up for the umpteenth time and made sure all contacts were ok and closed it carefully. It now works fine. Last hiccup - getting it to read my home wifi when it reads everyone elses already.
Thanks
Delgada
I was not able to start the windows after I tried a software. The screen goes off after I saw the windows logo. And I searched in the forum, someone asked also the same question but without answers. So please if someones konws how to hard reset the phone, give a instruction for this. Thanks in advance!
life saver
yes. I can.
hold: left soft key + red hang up key
and then power on
wait a second, you will see the screen displayes clear storage..
and done.
