dead bootloader what to do next

I've got a dead bootloader. My device doesn't upgrade thru SD and not with USB. can somebody please help me because i realy don't know what to do. My device is dead for almost 3 weeks now
[edit]
Even my backup on SD doesn't load. And this happend after i downgrade the radio version of the well know greek rom
[/edit]

nobody?
Is there a solution to flash only the bootloader?

I think you need to add some more info, if anyone should have a chance to help. For example what happened when it died - how and why? What happens if you remove the battery cover, replaces it and turns on the device? Text on screen, like USB or Serial? Have you tried uploading ROM from different PCs?
The more info you provide, the more likely it is that someone recognizes your situation from own experience and can provide some help.

You are totaly right.
I have update my frvice with the wrong greek rom and now i have the 15 sec reboot thing.
When I startup my device he ends up the bootloader and the only way to get the device booting to windows is remove the battery cover. But the her reboots again after the 15 seconds.
In the bootloader i tried to load my backup with the SD card but nothing happens. I also tried to load a ROM with MaUpgradeUt_NoID but nothing happens. I only get empty version thing.

If i use the regular MaUpgradeUt and change the file change.bat for the xda3nbftool I get a error "error 201: get device data error".
I also tried to backup my device with the wrong ROM on it, to look at the header but nothing happens (romupdate.exe).
So my conclusion is that my bootloader is dead. Please correct me when i'm wrong but if this is the case how can i correct my bootloader.

When you unplug your Magician from the USB cable, what do you see?
If you see (with the backlight OFF) "Serial v1.00" or similar, thats a WORKING bootloader.
Make sure you have Active Sync DISABLED (right click the taskbar icon, click "Connection Settings..." the uncheck "Available by USB".
You should then plug in the USB cable and it should change to "USB v1.00" or similar.
Your PC may detect the connection as new hardware - that is a good sign that you have Active Sync disabled.
Let the New Hardware Wizard do it's thing, then re-run the upgrade setup and it should work.
If not, you've got BIG problems.

guess I'm in big trouble
The only thing i can do, is trying a different pc without ASync. On the current pc i'm working on, USB in activesync is disabled.
Are there any posibilties to reload (rebuilt, update) Bootloader.
Can somebody please help me.

The bootloader is built in as it's own ROM, and I've never seen a utility that can make it writeable. I doubt you've destroyed your bootloader, but that doesn't help you - sounds like you'll have to bite the bullet, act dumber than you are, and return it to the manufacturer for a repair - and probably pay for the privilege.

:shock:
But isn't it strange that if you can't destroy it, it doesn't work anymore? And isn't there somebody who had the same problem?

Before you give up, try this:
Try using another USB cable.
I have experimented many times to realise that the upgrading process does require matching with the right cable.

I noticed that in the screenshot you posted, there is no info on what the device will be upgrade to! I could be wrong, but this may well mean that your device is incompatible with the ROM you are trying to upload.
Try downloading another ROM and give it a go. The best thing would be, if you can find one made specifically for your brand, ie Qtek, I-mate or whatever, and DON'T patch it. Just let the original installer do the job...

I'm using the cable that came with my device so that can't be wrong. But i could give it a try.

There isn't a orignal rom fot the dutch T-mobile MDA. And if you use a original installer, it uses ActiveSync. And i can't boot windows because it restarts after 15 seconds so I can't use ActiveSync.

Why can't you use an original ROM updater, if you have the Greek resetting ROM installed? I believe a lot of us has done so without any problems, including me. I don't remember precisely what I did, but it was no problem whatsoever. Most likely I just entered bootloader mode first, to keep the Magician from resetting...

I really tried everything but without any results. I realy don't know why i can't use the original ROM updater.

I have the similar problem, but mine one doesnt even start windows. It always go into the bootloader mode and stays there. I try upgrading it, but it gives me communication errors.

Do this
This is what you do.
Disconnect your JAm from USB
Go from your PC , ACTIVESYNC > FILE > CONNECTION SETTINGS > remove the check mark for ALLOW USB CONNECTION TO THIS DESKTOP COMPUTER
Now connect your JAM to your PC again via USB, this time active sync should not start since you have disabled USB
Now double click on the installer file of the original ROM and you should be good to go
After Reset , enable USB ,
Go from your PC , ACTIVESYNC > FILE > CONNECTION SETTINGS > Put a check mark for ALLOW USB CONNECTION TO THIS DESKTOP COMPUTER

MDA dead
I have tried.... it's not responsing as it should be.

Helloooo, anybody there ?????

Try using another USB cable..

Already try with 5 usb cable without luck ... do u know exactly what happen to my mini ???

Hi bro
its Faisal from Quetta, Pakistan
I know exactly whats wrong with ur Magicians
its not the rom
its not the cable
its ur "usb connector" where u insert ur cable.
sometime it gets rusty or sometimes the inner multi layer circuit board connections breaks
simple thing to do:
if u know how to hardware.... than first thing u should do is to put under the magnifier lamp n try cleaning those small 5 pins in that usb connector after removing the battery
if no success than change the usb connector with hot air tool or SMD
if u cant do that, get it done by some hardware guy
than get ur battery charged somehow and insert the charged battery
Press Camera button + Power Button and insert ur stylus in the reset switch to go in the bootloader mode
download universal flashing interface to load the rom like a country error fix and with that you should be able to upload any magician rom from german to arabic
If u get your solution this way than please Pray that i find someway to fix my not working mic
Take care n best of luck
Regards
Faisal

Praise you Helmi!!!
You are AWWWWsome. I followed your instructions and my baby lives.
I am stuck with mario 9.6 rom but that ain't bad compared to a bricked phone.
I am interested in how to cook my own rom. I'm gonna keep readin though cause I apparently have a lot to learn.

our hero
Helmi_c is my hero.

Damn Helmi_c you saved my phone

Seriously Stuck
Helmi...
I'm in the same boat except I cannot use mtty because I do not have an option for USB, only COM1 and 2......I also tried another utility I found on ppcgeeks called uni_exitbootloader without success. The details can be found here:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/cant-update-rom-now-stuck-in-bootloader-t7982.htmlhttp://www.ppcgeeks.com/cant-update-rom-now-stuck-in-bootloader-t7982.html
My question is What can I do now???
Any thoughts....Anyone?????

GOD BLESS YoURE HART OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG URRRRRRRRRRRA GENIOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

tip for Mac OS X
I tried several times to run the mtty.exe program without success. I was running WinXP inside Parallels and each time I connected the PPC6700 to the Mac, Parallels told me that another program was using the PPC6700. After acknowledging that message mtty would not show me a USB connection.
Finally I hit on the idea of rebooting my Mac and booting directly into Windows (I used BootCamp to create a separate Windows partition). Obviously this way, Parallels was not involved. mtty immediately showed me a USB option, and 10 seconds later my unit was rebooting successfully.
Many, many thanks! Un abrazo muy fuerte!
S

same thing
im not seeing usb what should i do im using windows xp

Stuck too
I don't know if this is related but a I had no response from my xv6700 so I hooked it up and it would reboot over and over to the white Verizon screen. Later it gave just a white screen with an off-white "skunk line" down the screen. Now It doesn't reboot and I have just a red blinking light. I tried popping the battery when this first started with no luck as well as a hard reset using option 3 (2 function keys and pin-hole reset).
I turned USB connections off in my Vista Mobile Device center but I still don't get a USB option in mtty.
Is there anything I can do or is it bricked?
Thanks for the great forum!

I have since moved on to the titan, but it is very difficult to brick these phones. Can you get into bootloader? if i remember its camera + power + soft reset button (i think), once in that you can flash a new rom like the verizon stock to get back to basics. you should be doing this all in XP, not vista. I think some people could, but i never flashed in vista, xp was tried and true and never failed me (only reason i still have my crappy laptop with XP!)

Thanks
Thanks for the reply Friguy33. Somehow, a miracle I think, it started to come back with the initial setup but it still reboots itself throughout the process and after. The battery is drained and it reports that once the today screen comes up but instead of just starting to charge it, something else I think causes it to reboot.
Prior to reboot the screen dims about 40%. I tried those three buttons but nothing new has happened and no boot loader screen. I don't understand why it keeps rebooting.

forgetting
you are forgetting to go into activesync and shut off the usb connections, then unplug your apache, then reboot the apache, plug it in, then rerun mtty. you dont have to reboot the apache, but i have always found it to be best.

This still isnt working for me. I tried the way on ppcgeeks too. =/

I, I can´t too.
I connect, usb are there, but when i go for 4 step, on program show "Cmd>" not "USB>"... USB show only title of window... i put step 14 0 fornt Cmd, shoe again Cmd and after put Task 8 and show invalid command!
Someone can help me?

The easiest way to get outa bootloader is to hard reset a few times (it's gonna go back into to bootloader each time) then disable your ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center USB connections and re-flash. Works for a wuite a few people I know. Give it a try.

it is not work. when i start bootloader, polaris screen show '' loading no image file''
any bors experience on this situation, please help!!!

i have one mistake, MicroSD FAT format.
Format FAT32, try now.
screen show ''loading..."
i donot it it work or not.

Don't worry, this is not a brick.
First all install the HARD-SPL!
Download a cooked ROM and flash it again, if this doesn't work try this:
1. Download mtty.exe
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Connect your Polaris to PC using USB cable.
4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
6. Type the command "boot", you should see something like this:
Cmd> boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
No card inserted
OSSIReadBack ++
Read SI data from flash success
tail signature match
Checksum match

After that device should boot WM again.
at your own risk, I take no responsiblity for any conflict, fault, or damage caused by this flashing procedure.

Sounds like your phone is stuck in diagnostic mode, do a search for motoq drivers or QC diag drivers install them.Then you'll be able to connect with mtty via a com port "check which port the diag drivers use".Try cego then task 8 in mtty.

Thanks for your reply. But my phone can not boot or it doesn't have the power when I press the Power button. How can I boot to the Tri-colors Bootloader while the phone does not have the power? I need a tool run directly from PC because the PC still recognises the phone as "Data Interface".
I am looking forward to your news!

[TUT] How to update your flytouch 2

How to update your flytouch 2​
I have had my fly touch 2 for 3 days now and i have been going through 1000 of post on trying to update my flytouch 2 but no one could really help me and there is a bit of confusion on how to get in the recovery menu. Now i have been doing a bit of research which will help people who got stuck like me and hopefully get this community of the floor with more builds coming out every week like the zt-180.
First of all you need to find out what build you are on ( Settings/about device/build number)
Firmware: deb-r2.1.1561 - Official release
Firmware: deb-r2.1.1480 - official release
Firmware: deb-r2.1.1170 – Seller Installed
Firmware: deb-r2.1.1001 – Factory Installed
Now what i have found out is that the factory ships these devices out with 1001 and ships the seller software to update the device via a pc, the the seller is supposed to update the device to (Firmware: deb-r2.1.1170 – Seller Installed). But many sellers are just shipping the devices out with the 1001 firmware. The problem with this is that there is no recovery menu and you cant install of the sd card you also cant use the system update app. So if you have been spending your time pressing button combinations and it keeps getting stuck on infotmic logo then your on 1001.
People that are on firmware 1170 and above can update using the system update app.
But if you on 1001 your out of luck you going to have to go down to your local electronics store and buy a male(A) to male(A) usb or make one if you want. I dont recommend buying of ebay, might fry your tablet if wired up wrong.
So now you know what firmware you are on and you have your usb or you just want to install updates via usb then this tutorial is for you.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR FILES FIRST WITH TITANIUM BACKUP AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR REGISTRATION KEY MINE IS ON A STICKER AT THE BACK IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT ONE CONTACT YOUR SELLER
First of all you will need to download burn tool and 1170 update.
DOWNLOAD
Step 1: Extract the zip file to your desktop there should be 2 files burntool and android.
Step 2: Switch of your flytouch 2 and plug the usb into the top usb slot and into your computer.
Step 3: Hold down the menu+home+power, this will put you into usb mode.
Step4: Your computer should say a new usb device has been found and it will promote you to install it. Now if your on windows xp a window should pop up saying Install automatically or Install from know location. click install from know location and browse to your desktop and click burntool folder and click ok, it should install and promote you with a continue anyway message. For windows vista or 7 it will try to install automatically and fail and ask you for the location of the drivers.
Step 5: Now we are all set up to update your tablet. First i recommend watching this video so you understand how burntool works.

Step 6: Now your connected to the pc open up burntool (windows 7 and vista right click and run as administrator), there should be a green box in device 10.

No once this is done your flytouch should boot up into the new firmware, once on the home screen re register and connect to wifi and do a system update to go to the latest vision.

Thanks very much!! my friend purchased 2 of these for his kids christmas and so far I have rooted both flytouch2's and made launcher pro the default home app.
However 1 tablet's touch screen is very bad, and it keeps freezing on the green screen when booting up. The other one is completely fine very odd...
But following your guide which I did on both has now fixed all issues and now I hope to put on a much better firmware, well there is'nt really any new firmware for
this at the moment only the other tablets... gingerbread I hope to be out soon as this will really open up the tablet as the spec is very good
Thanks again

Thanks very much

Thnak you very much

Thanks for a friend who asked me to save his flytouch 2 !

I just received my flytouch 2 with F/W deb-r2.1.1001 installed. I am trying to do the update procedure using an A to A USB cable but I can not boot into USB flash mode on the tablet. If I hold Menu - Home - Power I get a count down from 5 saying 'Press key combination for recovery' If I do nothing it counts down and boots normally.. If I press Home - Menu again it will flash recovery and reboot. There is no USB flash mode that I can seem to get into.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I just used Terminal Emulator and flashed the recovery.img inside the update.zip
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
and now recovery should work

freezing on the green screen

I have the same problem, it keeps freezing on the green screen when booting up, how could I solve it????

When i saw this thread i wasn't logged in to see the images and do the same. I got the "uImage" file and selected it into the "uboot-img" field to flash. Then? Green screen!
Then i corrected the fields like the image and flashed the 1170, and everything goes OK, ready to update to versions further
I hope that it help someone with the green screen freeze.

Mine arrived today and would only boot to the green screen. I solved it quite easily.
1. Turn off
2. Press and hold POWER and HOME until the recovery screen appears. The recovery screen has a black background and blue type.
3. Press the VOL- twice to highlight "wipe data/factory reset".
4. Press MENU to select.
5. Press VOL- seven times to highlight yes.
6. Press MENU to select and then wait for format to complete.
7. Press MENU to reboot.
