This is my first message here. I have read many times the forum and downloaded files, but I have a problem I cannot solve.
I bought a T-mobile Mda Compact (UK - WWE)
The first thing I did was to unlock the device, to see if it worked.
Then I tried to upgrade SW. After many attempts I succeded in upgrading ROM to ITA Imate 1.12.04, but couldn't upgrade Radio. In fact the upgrade had been possible only when I took off the radio file when upgrading.
now I want to upgrade to the radio 1.12, but my attempts were unsuccesful. Tried with original Maupgrade, with the cracked one, with the NOid version,....
Please help me. Thanks.
Sometimes it just won't go, do you have warranty left? Cause it's a failure which shouldn't be.
M
no warranty left.
MAupgrade files are all the same or are different for each product id?
how would you act if you were me?
If I were you? Well I'm very lucky I got a two year warranty, 1.4 year left .
But I would keep on trying via shipped-rom, all magician radios are suitable, & via SD-flash. Cause a trip to repair centre mostly isn't cheap. I know I've said it before: sometimes it just won't work & it needs to repaired by a repair centre :-(
Regards, M
BTW most instructions can be found in the wiki
yesterday night I tried again...
what I am sure of is that when I start MAupgrade the device goes in bootloader mode and so remains.... until I re-install the whole rom (radio excluded)...
I am wondering to leave things as they are... are there great differences between Radio 1.01 and 1.12 ?
thanks
I prefer radio 1.12, better reception & no trouble with reconnecting GPRS anymore.
But if you can't get it to upgrade ...
Hello! i have a vodafone v1240 (qtek 8310) and i tried to update its rom and got stuck at 73% for hours. finally i unplugged it from pc and when i reset the phone it shows me just a white screen and i can't shut it down i must take the battery off. it doesnt want to connect with the pc again, in activesync wont recognise it. can u help me pls to get my phone back to life?
i suppose you have new a paper weight now .
cant guarantee but some people have recoverd the phone from this state.
what rom did u try to flash?
Ill suggest you try getting in to the bootloader (Plug the usb ,press and hold volume down and the press the camera button). If you see a 3 color band. Then way to go. Just flash the latest vodaphone V1240 rom
it doesnt want to work that way, it's not responding to this key combination. i tried to update with the latest update rom from vodafone vf-uk_v1240_aku2_v254832_ship.exe and got stuck. someone told me because it was slipped off and can be some hardware failure(i just got it repaired, the display was broken and had to be replaced) but it was working just fine after that, the win mobile 2003 second edition was good just that I want to update to the latest version from vodafone.do you have some other method of ressurection ??
I just read somewhere that from this state cannot be recovered (white screen of death) and my bootloader is crashed.
do you have knowledge if I can repair it by replacing the rom memory phone with a new one ?? (of course, at an authorised qtek service)
is your phone still under warranty??
may i know where do you stay/which country???
allow me sometime to check what part of the rom is flashed first.
That's because as you said your flash was stuck @ 73%.
if the bootloader is flashed first then it might be recoverable(can't guarantee though!), if its flashed at the end then you might want to get it repaired from a authorised repair center , trust me it will be costly as buying a new phone!
my phone has no warranty. i'm from romania but the phone was bought in italy. so can u tell me if the bootloader is still good? and how can i get in?
it was working just fine after that, the win mobile 2003 second edition was good just that I want to update to the latest version from vodafone.do you have some other method of ressurection ??

Are you sure its a Tornado, i did not know that any Tornado shipped with WM2003SE.
yeah maybe he had loaded the inappropriate rom.
it's a vodafone v1240 (qtek 8310) ...the update was an official rom from vodafone exactly for this model. yes it had win mobile smartphone 2003 se
I sent the phone to a very good service and it cannot be re-softed. I think the rom memory on the phone's board must be replaced.
so... I'm looking for somebody who has a damaged QTEK 8310 (VODAFONE V1240) or a rom memory chip for this model
I will pay for it because I want to repair my phone!
Hi guy, it's nothing to do with the rom memory. The phone you got is not a real Tornado, but you tried to update it by loading a Tornado ROM, it's a dangerous action, it may damage the IPL and SPL!
yeah i insist. maybe he's just confused or what. his device is not a Tornado. it runs on wm2003se os.
ok let's get all clear here. it's a vodafone v1240 (search on google to find out more) and it is similar to qtek 8310. I tried to update with an official rom for V1240 its not an innapropiate rom or a modified one. Still looking for someone who has a broken VODAFONE V1240
It's very clear, you loaded an inappropriate rom, because your phone is not a real Vodafone v1240. A real Vodafone v1240 shipped with Windows Mobile 5.0, TI OMAP 850 CPU and Wi-Fi block, but your phone shipped with Windows Mobile 2003 SE, TI OMAP 750 CPU and without Wi-Fi. I give you some more information about Vodafone v1240, it's made by HTC, which is a mobile device ODM. The same device sold in defferent areas got defferent names.
Vodafone v1240 = Qtek 8310 = imate sp5 = Dopod 577W
As I know, Dopod 577W got a brother Dopod 577, which have the same specifications as your phone got. Dopod 577 or your phone can not load official rom for Dopod 577W or Vodafone v1240, because they got defferent board and CPU.
i think it falls in cases like in t-mobile sda(wm5 usa version). they also have t-mobile sda II(wm5 europe version) and t-mobile sda II(wm2003se usa version). they almost have the same appearance and form factor but different os. so if your unsure of what kind of device you have, check its system info carefully. but in your case i think you got the inappropriate ROM. unless you show us bits of system info of your device.
cheers
u know u got me all confused. so bluehanson u're trying to tell me that i have a Dopod 577 with Vodafone label on it, who looks just like V1240?
the model is this:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=471
but it had on it Win Mobile 2003 SE cause I checked before the crash occured.
the rom i was trying to update is vf-uk_v1240_aku2_v254832_ship.exe
based on your link, it is indeed a wm5 tornado smartphone. the rom you loaded is not intended for your device.
Maybe when the screen was "repaired" (as described in an earlier post), the shop just put in the guts for a 2003se edition phone? Perhaps worth checking with them?

ericjm so what's the real V1240 model designed for this rom? cause now i'm totally confused
i dont know what led you to believe it had 2003se,but all tornados are loaded with wm5... and i believe that its not the issue... i think sometime while flashing your rom your phone lost connection with your pc hence your phones curent state... cause you said it stopped at 72% or sumthing... when flashing even with the wrong rom it will go to 100% then not restart... stopping before it got all the way to 100% accidentally or intentionally could lead to a bricked phone... just my 2 cents...

Hello all,
I am in crisis situation.
I purchased the touch cruise (polaris) from authorised dealer in the middle east (my polaris is middle east version) came with wm6 SPL 1.28.000. ROM 0.0.415.2 (sorry I had saved the details in one of the files but I guess it got deleted. so I dont remember which ROM version I had)
I wanted to test the diamond TF3d style, so I upgraded. below is the steps I took
1. Hard spl - v2
2. downloaded _HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe
3. installed the same.
4. Installed HTC-CA-Polaris drivers and TF3d.
5. I read somewhere that it works slow and need to upgrade Radio to 1.59.42.23. I did that.
but now my GPS is not working with Garmin also tried TOm TOM which is installed by the WM6.1 upgrade, no luck even the phone is too slow
I want to revert to the original version. please help me find the ROM download and steps to downgrade to original. I can downgrade the SPL to original but need to have the ROM first bcos I dont want my phone to be total dead.
need urgent attention from the experts.
thanks in advance
Niranjan
In my experience downgrading radio is bad thing to do.
When I did it, my signal has weakened radically, and I lost WiFi stability and almost lost BT.
However, hardware was not damaged, so I have normal reception after turning back to the official WM 6.1. So I guess you will need to hack your device again, or wait for newer ROM...
Oh, yeah... I never did hard-SPL...
ive got a t-mobile wizard 200 dutch edition
i had a win 6.5 rom loaded and it worked fine
but for some wierd reason i wanted to downgrade it to the original win5 rom
when i was at 55% my 1 year old sun pulled the usb cable
now i can't get any new rom in the phone that works
is there anyone that could help me
everytime i get the bootloader screen and that's al
Don't give up hope. As long as you can get the bootloader screen, you should be able to burn a rom. Try the CR96 WM6.5 ROM, in my signature, which if I remember right comes with a Vista RUU. If it doesn't, search this forum for Vista RUU, which I have found to work well for installing ROMs from the bootloader, in XP or Vista. I don't know about Windows 7, since I have never had it.
i've tried the link you sugested
after running the update the startup screen of the phone changed from t-mobile to a HTC logo and after that it shows the bootloader and nothing more
ipl 2.18.001
spl 2.26.001
is there anyone with an original rom for this phone becouse the one i thought was original is damaged and maybe an original rom can repair this phone
or is there anyone with different idea to solve this problem ?
edit: i found an original german ship rom but when i try to laod that on the phone he gives a error
something with wrong phone id
edit: i found a file with t-mobile g4 ipl/spl after i loaded that one
ipl changed to 2.26.001 spl stayed 2.26.001 but stil no respnce to loading roms
i found a threat where they where talking about the love rom
i downloaded it and uploaded it to the phone and everything was back online and i could do anything again with the phone
