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?

Advanced Shelltool help

Hi everyone. I am in need of assistance with shelltool. I've been flashing ROMs for quite some time and this goes beyond the scope of typical upgrading. I apparently had a bad flash happen and need some help correcting it. The OS appears to work fine, except some applications .cab installers exit before asking device or storage card. I have attempted to load the EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab; however, they exit almost instantly after starting them.
I had this situation happen once before and I was able to oddly enough try to load the original T-Moblie ROM through shelltool (didn't install at all), then try NBD 8.3. which brought me to a boot loader screen after doing a hard reset, but didn't install NBD 8.3. So far I'm not having much luck in recreating the experiment.
Is there a way to force a Wizard into bootloader mode using shelltool or some other utility? I can restore the device if I can get that far.

it's time for my first post
Hi, have been reading this forum for about 3 month and i enyoy it and learn a lot. Have been try about 7 roms and like all. It's time to payback.
Yo can enter bootload by pressing and holding the voice command button and then softreset, keep holding the voice command button util you reach bootload.
Other thing you can do is run the original rom by its executable program not using shelltool.
Good luck

Awesome! That rescued my phone. You saved me quite a bit of time in getting my phone back to a working state. You've more than given back!

Please tell me how did you restore your phone? i am flashed touchflo rom to my phone and some how it is stuck to the multicolor screen.
Can you help me out?
Thanking you in anticipation.

1 put phone into bootloader by pressing and holding camera button+reset hole. Keep holding the camera button untill you see the tricollor screen.
2 plug the phone into the computer (wait to hear the noise that it found hardware
3 Flash a rom you know worked (maybe your original/ maybe someone elses... maybe even mine )
4 wait untill the flashing finishes and "Tap Screen..." appeares before unplugging.
(If you have a G4 then I advise you to flash the original rom, or make sure your ipl/spl is propper. check the G4 forum to be sure, or ask Mestrini - The creator of the Wizard service tool. I believe he has a G4 and knows more about it than most)
Happy Flashing

Fatal error on HTC 710

HI,
I have a fatal error on my HTC S710. After switching the phone on I get 3 horizontal bars on top a red bar with VOX ONBL 1.34.000 in the middle a green bar with SPL 1.34.000 and the a blue bar with CPLD -04
I have tried to upgrade to 1.34 but no success
After about 30 hard reboots I can get the phone working for 5min and then it hangs again and the 3 bars pop up.
So I think I need to completely reinstall WM 6 but can't find the file on this site?
And what tool to use the flash the rom??
Thx,

Go to the HTC site and download the official ROM! http://www.htc.com/support/support.htm it's in the e-club section and is only for HTC devices (not SPV's etc).
BTW google "S710 rom" reveals a lot of results. You could try that first.

Tho,
thanks for your reply. Have Downloaded and upgraded the ROM from HTC E-club. However now the phone hangs completely can't if get it to start up normally. Tried Hard reboots soft reboots even pressing the menu buttons above the 1 and 3 key and then pressing the power button.

Where does it hang when booting? If you're able to get to at least the black HTC screen, then the ROM was written however might have bad blocks in memory.
Try a hard reset with SIM and SD out of the device, hold the two soft keys and press power, hit the Green call start button when it prompts you - leave the phone for at least 15 minutes to be on the safe side. Then flash this; ftp://xda:[email protected]_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.exe
and let us know what happens.

thx for the info h4waii.
However a hard reset does work. Acourding to the HTC technical helpdesk the boot loader is stuck, so it cant read the operating system files to boot the phone in to windows.
Also the Active Sync doens't reconises the phone any more.

H4waii,
I can get into the bootloader. I read on an other post that you said "If the ROM is corrupt, this is your best way of "recovering" your phone, if the ROM was flashed properly, after getting into the bootloader, run ruurun 0 and ResetDevice to boot it back into OS."
But how do run that ruurun. Still can't sync it with my laptop??

You need a terminal emulator, you can use MTTY. It's attached in the Vox USPL sticky and I will get you the link for the boot loader recognized commands.
EDIT: Here is a link to the USPL sticky that has MTTY attached: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330909
and here is a link to the the Wiki for Hermes boot loader, many of the commands will work on the Vox: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
There is also a tool for the Universal that resets the DoC instructions, you might want to either give that a try or look at the command 'task 28 55aa'.
You do this at your own risk also, just wanted to throw that out there.

stuck during boot, do not know what to do

hi all...
...I hope that you can help. Some years ago, I have flashed my polaris from o2. i then got myself an iphone and some new computers (using vista now instead of xp), so that I do not have any of the old files that I used back then to flash the phone. my father was using the xda for quite a while now. however, suddenly the device is not working any more: if you turn it on, the boot screen will appear, but then it is stuck and nothing is happening (even no rom info in the lower right corner). also a hard reset doesn't help to overcome this problem.
what I am trying now is to flash it, because I guess (and hope) that this might help. But, to be honest, I completely forgot how this works. I downloaded an original rom from this website today, but I cannot flash it to the device (stuck at 0%, getting an communication problem error). If I turn on the phone with camera button pressed down, the tricolor-screen appears reading POLA200, SPL-3.13.0000, CPLD-2. what am I doing wrong? your help is greatly appreciated.

Try flashing the rom from the tricolour-screen just make sure at the bottom of the tricolour-screen it say's usb not serial.
You will only be able to flash official roms as you don't have a stock spl not hard-spl.

thanks. I tried this one from this forum: RUU_Polaris_o2_GER_1.24.207.2_withSplash_noRadio_schaggo_[fixed]
but it did not work.
however, I now downloaded the rom from the original o2-site and it is at the moment in the process of flashing it - let's cross fingers.
damn, it did not work. I mean, the flashing succeeded, but the problem still persists: if I start the device, the start-screen appears, but that's it - nothing happens afterwards, and after some seconds, the device turns itself off again.
what could that be?

Could be the battery if the device turns itself off,try booting with the charger or usb still in.Or flash hard spl and try a different rom.

hi all friends if you are stuck on 0% and u cant install spl then do this ,,,
You can try this:
1. Stop ActiveSync
2. Open Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) on your PC and
stop these two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. Plug in your device via USB. Your computer should be asking install a driver. Install and continue.
4. Now Run mtty and choose USB in 'PORT'
4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted.
6. Now unplug your device and manually reset it.
i hope you will be happy after .. thanks

HTC DesIre 320 Bricked, no boot, only recovery...

Hello, I'm about to giving up,
Something happened to the phone and now it won't boot, it barely show the "ANDROID" logo when it restart itself. I can enter to the recovery menu, it doesn't have clockwork recovery nor twrp, just the basic recovery. So far I tried:
wipe data/factory - didn't work.
wipe cache partition - didn't work
apply update from adb: Adb just work with sideload and that's it, for everything else it shows closed. I tried sending the rom with sideload and it fails every time:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Invalid argument' *
So I took my sdcard and copied the room there, so I tried
apply update from sdcard, it starts and in no time it says:
Installation aborted (APPLY_EXT).
I'm very frustrated right now, nothing works, it seems that the manufacturer did great effort on being the only one who can recover this phone, who appears to be from China, the MTK6582.
Fastboot? it doesn't show the device, it would be my last hope but no, since there is no adb, I cannot call fastboot, and the apply update from adb only work with sideload (yeah, f**k me).
The best course of action would be to throw it to the trash?
Thanks!

Hey, I'm in a similar position to you. However, I went about it with a slightly different route. The chip used in this phone is the MediaTek 6582 (I think?). I downloaded some tools from a thread on here that includes the 320 rom and the necessary software for flashing. I've flashed MediaTek devices before, the Huawei Ascend G610 and G700, both successfully. This one is giving me headaches, the damn device keeps disconnecting. HOWEVER, if you're lucky and you don't have the same problem with disconnecting hardware, you should be able to flash a new rom via the software. It'll take a while though. Also, I don't know what'll happen to your IMEI afterwards, so that's another possible headache (both the G610 and the G700 lost their IMEI info, but I'd taken steps to back them up beforehand so I could just restore them; here, there's no option to backup).
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/htc-mtk-cpu-flash-files-flashtool-t3114271
Let me know if you need help. I'm screwed in that the damn phone keeps disconnecting. Similar to you, no fastboot either. Plus, no RUU for this HTC. Hell, the internet barely knows this flipping phone.
Cheers, and good luck.

Ditto!!!
Hey guys I am having the exact same issue, luckily for me it is my Mrs who done her phone in and not mine . She has the HTC Desire 320, I believe she tried to root it on her own without even asking for advice, I think she used the app Kingo Root, she said she went to remove the root but when she uninstalled the app it didn't remove it. (LOL I told her well perhaps that's because there will be some way of removing it, aside from just uninstalling the app), anyway she proceeded not to care and carried on using her phone as normal for maybe a week or two at most, then about midnight one night, came down and said to me,
"my phone had an update and on restarting I just get a dead android, if you press the power button you get some options so I clicked erase"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I was like nice so basically you F***ed it!!!!, and for about 2 weeks now I have been endlessly reading post after post, forum after forum, trying rom after rom, RUU, all kinds of things.
Here is the situation, the phone will boot as far as the HTC logo, it will get stuck in a short loop and reset itself 4/5 times repeating the HTC logo, eventually it will end up at the dead android pic (the android on his back with the red exclaimation mark triangle) with the words 'no command'. From here I can press the power button once to get a list/menu of items (What I assume to be the recovery menu). I can backup data, I can restore the backed up data (both of which do nothing as I guess there is nothing really to back up), There is an option to restore from sd card (which I have tried numerous roms and to no avail have any been successful), I can erase the cache and I can also erase everything and recover, the erase side works fine, I did notice in each of these menu that if you press volume up to activate them and then press the power button once, then the writing dissapears and the android proceeds to have his moving atom type thing in his belly, saying 'erasing..', however even with them completed successfully, it still does not restore.
NOTE!!! If you choose the erase and restore method, once activated with volume up, press the power button to get the spinning atom and erasing... message, when this finishes the phone will reboot, it goes to the htc logo, resets itself, goes to the logo again and then just stays at a black screen (almost like a frozen state, I left it for quite some time and it never changed).
I should also note, which I didn't to begin with, but no matter how long I hold the volume down and power button, there is no such hboot/fast boot menu at all, if you hold the volume down and power button even after it displays the htc logo, the phone just proceeds to endlessly reset and loop through the same process forever.
The only thing I can seem to access with little success, is the ADB CMD prompt through the Android SDK,
Code:
adb devices
will indeed return the device (a set of numbers with the word sideload beside it)
Code:
adb usb
Apart from the odd fluke, this has seemed to fail everytime with either an error about a protocol or an error stating 'closed'
Code:
adb sideload "ROM_FILENAME.ZIP OR .IMG
Occasionally this will throw the protocol error, but generally succeeds and displays the 100% most of the time, however the phone doesn't even try, it just almost instantaniously returns the error message :
Code:
[B][I]Installation Aborted (APPLY_ADB_SIDELOAD)[/I][/B]
NOTE!!! That the android lays on his back with this error, but it only says error below not no command.
I am pretty sure that I already came across a solution very similar to the one you posted above, and I just couldn't get it to recognise the phone, the only way the RUU would work, was by completely removing the battery and plugging in the usb, however without the battery in the phone, it just constantly beeps via usb, so I guess it turns on, then off, then on, then off, forever!!! So the RUU fails everytime, if I leave the battery in and try, the RUU program does nothing whatsoever! So I am at a complete loss with it now.

Any luck with unbriking the HTC?

Maybe this is the solution, good luck.

Responds please.

I think that you no tell true because I tried this method with volume keys and nothing. Flash tool still show error. Its impossible to write android without battery. I think really put your phone to rubbish or sell as lcd+digitizer parts I think just we must waiting for new custom rom flashable via stock recovery. 320 is still new model and developers no moke any custom rom. So maybe only HTC service may help, only in HTC Factory peoples know how install android and bootloader on hard bricked device.
