wrong rom update

After I mistakelt upgrade my s200 with a Kjam rom, the device will not turn on again, now I need to boot from the sd card has anyone an OS backup which work on Sd card?
I ll try to alive the device from sd card but I dont know how I copy the os to the sd card.

Do you have the bootloader alive?

thanks for your help, no I could only reach to Bootscreen when the wall charger plugged, but naturally I could not update the rom from the charger, so I think the only solution is using a backup image from the sd card.

AFAIK, it means that your battery is empty. Try to charge the battery with any working S200/100/110/9100 and you will be able to run the bootloader, then you will restore the device. Correct me, if I wrong.

the problem is not about the charger or battery, although the battery 100% it still cant be opened the problem is after load the Kjam ROM, the device reject to open, it could onyl turn on if the wall charger is pluged however I could plug the USB data cable at the same time. I send it to the service center hope they could recover the device...

This behaviour is typicel for a device with both broken image and discharged battery. The battery WAS at 100%, but the Prophet does not charge it if has no working OS, so the batery was drained until you tryed to reanimate the device. Ensure that the pattery is full with other, working device.

Walker;
I charge the battery with an other prophet I ll wait untill the light become green and battery is 100% then after when I tried with the boken prophet it did not reanimate the device. it is very interesting to see that wizard could work with prohet's rom but not vice versa

Flash wrong ROM consequences
Let me relate my experiences; exactly the same problem.
Update KJAM rom on DOPOD 818Pro ... Damn phone could not power on at all, at most on bootloader, plugin USB cable --> no USB word displayed at bottom.
Try to flash any RUU also no go ...
ON battery, could not power up at all, only plug in wall charger then managed to get to bootloader ... so all was lost.
Send to EBAY (where i bought from) and they flash the bloody Dopod 830 ROM..
During collection, plugin my own battery, same cannot power up... evidently the flash to Kjam killed my battery too !
The good thing was that with the 830 rom, my IPL became 2.16 (from 1.00).
So i reflashed to Dopod latest 2.15 ROM ok... further flash to AKU 2.3 hacked ROM also no problem.
SO, ultimately the cause was a killed battery from the ROM update.
Use a meter to measure contact pt 1 & 2 from top edge of battery, (supposed to be min 4.7V) I believe it's 0V or totally shorted out.
This battery cannot power on the phone, but still can be used as spare battery by power up with wall charger first, the battery still has it's 3.7V available to sustain operation.
So u can go buy a new battery and Flash to the correct ROM now.
Good Luck

to buyaoxiao;
Thanks for your comments but;
I think there is something more serious than the battery; I have two prophets, and I also try with the other's battery and still nothing happened, more than that, both of the batteries work with the non-broken prophet.

Flash wrong ROM
Hmm.. that may be true also.
I cannot really conclude as i was lucky the ebay shop i bought from agree to flash my S200.. i believed they had some trouble too as it took them a week to get it to Dopod 830 rom ... when normally they say 1 day will do. They refused to go into specifics though... (afraid that i demand for 1-1 exchange)

I have had the same problem, so that's why I decide to sent to dealer to try to fix it. Now I'm expect to have a call to pick it up. Hope they can improve my prophet to the new chip G4.
I tryed several times, hours to fix it, but no way. Sorry I can not tell you something good.

I am sure that there should be a way to fix those devices Jtag should not be the only way( if it really works) it is meaningless to loose a device only because of a wrong rom update

[Q] Battery does not charge

First of all; I've used search and found nothing that fitted my problem. I hope I didn't repeat a existing question.
My problem is this:
I have an european Galaxy S running on Darky's rom. Since a couple of days, I've been unable to charge the Galaxy through the USB port, a problem I never had in the past.
If plugged through the USB to a computer, the phone is properly detectd, and I can copy files into it without any problem. If I leave the cable plugged either there, a car adapter on my car, or a wall charger, the charging animation is on, but the battery drains slowly instead of charging.
What I've tried:
*tried different batteries
*updated to last Darky's rom (Slim no wipe)
*read about battery drain, recalibered battery; installing a fresh battery charged on an oem dock), wiping battery stats from CWM, leaving the phone on until battery slowly died
*full wipe, factory reset
*disable voodoo from cwm
*updated to last Darky's rom (full with wipe)
Nothing worked so far.
I have no clue of what is going on. I did nothing strange or new before this issue showed, at least as far as I remember. I'm running now swapping the depleted batteries out of the phone.
I hope somebody could help me.
Thank you.

If Darky broke it he should have the solution .
I would remove Darky rom and flash stock froyo .
jje

I have flashed an older rom, I9000XXJP1, just for testing, and the problem is still there.
Could it be a hardware issue?.

Yeah we got one like this @ work, brand new and faulty.
The symptoms on the first day :
- Doesn't charge via PC or external power source
- USB mass storage is fine
- Still warm after at least one hour on idle (wifi, gps and bt OFF)
=> warranty.
I suggest that you put back the original ROM before it dies by lack of power and use your warranty

I think that's what I will have to do. I'll flash some old stock rom and send it to service. Pity I didn't keep the original one from Movistar network.
I'll look for it somewhere.
Thank you.

One question, was the screen on when you were doing this? I've noticed that the chargers usually don't have enough current to power the screen, the phone, and charge the battery all at once.

[Q] PHONE is Dead, Not charging at ALL, No custom rom installed

Hey guys, i've done the search button and still can't find any answers. First of all, all i've done to my phone : S-off, superuser, root. No custom ROM installed. i did that 2days prior yesterday and it was working and charging fine. So yesterday when i was playing paradise island my phone died. I connected it to the USB wall charger and left my room. After 3-4hrs, my phone is still dead. So i thought maybe the USB or wall charger is not working. I tried using my cousin Mytouch wall charger with the htc USB, still doesnt work but using my wallcharger with the mytouch usb, my cousin's phone charges.
When i try to charge my phone, the amber light comes on but its flashing, then after 3 times, light will stop
Troubleshooting i've done
I've tried numerous times to go to HBOOT, nothing
Removed the battery several times, nothing
tried USB charging through my laptop nothing.
Any help guys??

Same issue!
Please help with this!!

CMW
If you search you'll find that there is a problem and after installing CMW Recovery most phones will not charge if they're off, so if you let your battery drain to the last you will be unable to charge your battery trought the phone, no solution at this moment for this
Work arounds
- Charge your battery on a wall charger directly not trought the phone
- Charge your battery on an stock untouched Sensation

Wallcharger, is there one i can purchase??
Is the battery itself the problem?? because t-mobile, will sent me a new battery. I've only had this phone for 3 weeks. IF the battery itself not the problem, they will send me a new phone but i'm assuming that i've going to have to send the old phone back, is there going to be an issue regarding the warranty when i send the old phone to them???

it's not the battery, it's the cmw what's the problem. You have an older version of cmw.

I see, where to get the latest CWM? There's a way to go back to stock right?
Now i kinda regret S-OFF,ROOt, CWM ...lol..-.- i know it's my fault tho...

Once you managed to boot the phone again, you can install rom manager, from there you can easily install the latest cmw.

i have the latest CMW Still doesn't charge when battery at 0%
You would think they would test CMW before releasing....

I used CWM 4.0.1.4. From what i know its suppose to fix the charging problem. As of right now, im trying to manually charge my battery by splitting on of my old USB cable +wall charger. So hopefully this will work.

None of the threads in the entire forum are even remotely helpful if you can't even get the phone to turn on.
I can't reflash the recovery - if there is no way for me to get into the bootloader.
A wall charger hasn't helped - nor my N1 battery taped in.
NOTHING.
Please stop jumping a million steps ahead to reflashing the recovery - start with HOW TO TURN THE PHONE ON - bearing in mind that NOTHING IN THE FORUM so far has worked.

I've been using my brothers G2 battery (which doesn't fit) to turn on my phone.
But since I don't have a universal charger, and my phone wont turn on (I tried EVERYTHING) than there is no point to attempt to get into recovery unless I'm going back to stock.
Tl;DR CWM Needs to fix there shhhhhheeeet.

I finally manage to turn on my fone by splitting my old usb cable...i know somone said, its dangerous but it work for me....so do it at your own risk....now im juz looking for a safe wayto revert to stock w/o cwm,root,super user....might keep S-off tho
Any suggestion
If u need to start you fone....get a spare usb cable...and split it..remove the battery from your fone. Now tape the red wire to positive and black to negative....attach the usb to ur wall charger.....then wait 10- 20 min. Now remove ur battery then insert it back to you phone and turn it on. Once it starts, connect it to ur htc usb+ wallcharger.... once again, someone said its dangerous....so make this your last resort

Yeah. That didn't work for me. After splitting two cables - I decided to cut my losses.
Unfortunately I'm not in the US - and that's where I bought the phone. I'm going to try and find and independent vendor and see if they have a battery I can buy.
If not - I am ROYALLY screwed.

Yeah the battery/cwm combo is ****ed. So angry.

Do you have the one with the blue text? It's supposed to fix these issues
Swyped from my HTC Sensation

Sorry to revive this thread, but I am in the same boat. After trying to flash android on my brother's hd2, I noticed that the battery died. I cannot charge it since it has no ROM currently installed... Has there been a fix?

[Q] USB & AC trouble

Hello, first off I wanna say thank you to all those that worked on roms for the infuse it's fun playing with different ones and peeks at ones not available for my phone.
I'm new to the scene even though I read a few threads relative to the infuse.. So, I'm almost new to android devices though I can pick up on things semi quickly, my problem is USB connections with my phone..
I use the Samsung Infuse 4g and currently on cyanogenmod 9 (ICS), I first noticed this problem 4 days ago, My AC Adapter (wall charger) won't charge my phone, If my phone is on even though it shows it's charging the battery life decreases. When my phone is off, the battery charges but very slowly, also my original USB (from phone to pc) cord broke of course lol. I got a new one today that connects phone to pc or phone to a detatchable wall charger (don't know the correct term for it) so know my phone charges both ways, wall and pc.
At first I was highly fustrated because I could only charge my phone in the car.. Anyway, I went into the settings and went to the battery section, this is where one of/possibly my main problem occurs.
Charging my phone with my original wall charger (the one that only charges when phone is off), it shows up in the battery option: Charging (USB) or something to that extent, WHILE charging my phone from my pc, it shows: Charging (AC).. So my phone won't connect to my PC directly (can't access memory cards and such).. Obviously this is backwards but again, I don't know if that was a mistake on my end or the rom..
You know on froyo when you connect to the pc via USB the options come up on the phone umm, I believe kies, media, then mass storage. I don't get those options either so I can't use heimdall or odin.. Also tried downloading older roms for a more extensive test, thus I can't because most of the links are either removed or go to the multiupload site and I can't access the downloads because of the petition going on..
So I'm mainly looking for some insight on the USB connectors and also a possible froyo, even a gingerbread rom link, I'm not really comfortable downloading a rom from a random site, even a torrent site since I'm not adept with android quite yet..
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for the loooong post lol, but I like to explain in details.. I could also provide screenshots of how the phone picks up my USB connections from wall mount and from PC ( with the backwards connections).. Just thought about the screenshot part also lol..
Thanks again

Looks like you have the same problem i had with my old phone. Try going into download mode (remove battery, hold both volume i think then insert battery along with cable to pc, you may want to check elsewhere i nah be wrong on the steps lol i dont think so though). From there enter odin/heimdale. If it doesnt show try other ports, other computers just install kies on the other computers for the drivers. If it doesnt show then come back and tell me... i needed a whole new phone, my usb was fried but yours may not be.

Thanks for the response, and sorry for the late reply, had a lot of issues the past few days. Searched around some more and it's a obvious solution that sadly isn't out there as much. It's true about the "Data" and "Charging USBs.. Sadly they don't put in BIG letters on a package stating the difference, so yeah thanks again and hopefully this will help out someone else like me lol.

Charging problem on stock ROM?

Hello,
My wife and I both have a Nexus S, which are both almost 2 years old now. She has always been running stock ROMs and only updated when there was an OTA update available. No rooting, no nothing I however tried as much as possible and currently running SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 5 :good:
Since 3 days now, the battery in my wife’s phone isn’t charging anymore. I tried the following:
- Use my charger and an old Nokia charger: doesn’t work
- Put my battery in her phone: doesn’t work
- Put her battery in my phone and charge mine: works like a charm
The last one’s the solution for now: at night I charge one of the batteries in my phone and put it in hers, while at work I charge the other battery from my PC via USB.
Based on my ideas I’d say that something in the USB-port on my wife’s phone might be broken. However, there are 2 phenomena that I find rather strange:
- When her phone says it’s time to connect the charger, I take out the battery and put it in my own phone. I power up and the battery level reads somewhere between 60 and 80 percent
- When I power off her phone and connect the charger, I’d expect to see either the charging symbol or nothing. But none of these: it powers up as soon as I connect the charger
I don’t know about the first issue, but could it be the battery stats might be corrupted? The last issue makes me believe that the USB-port is at least not completely disconnected/broken.
Has anyone got an idea what the issue could be? I wouldn’t want to work on her phone rooting it if it isn’t necessary, but on the other hand she might be better off in various other ways as well
Thanks in advance,
Pieter

Being completely stock and never modified, I'd say it's the usb.. Have you tried the OEM connector for the computer?..
1. I would take it to a shop
2. You could also try cleaning the contacts
3. May do nothing but if you take the battery/sim out and hold the power button for a minute, this is supposed to completely power down the phone, and then reinstall sim/battery and reboot..
4. Use this as an excuse to modify her phone (telling her that you can put it back to stock if she doesn't like it)..

This happens a lot on my phone, .. Be careful with my solution, I hope it works for you..
Basically inside the usb port on the phone, there is a flat pin. On my phone, this pin ends up bending downwards towards the bottom of the phone.. What you could do is get a very thin knife or a swiss army blade and just try and lift the flat pin in order to make it locate in the center of the usb port (hole) .. The issue being the pin doesnt connect with the charger ..
I hope you understood this
PS: Don't snap it !
