Dear Gurus ...
I need help. During the upgrading process, the connection was disconnected and my XDAII is currently not showing any sign of life.
I ran through the forum, and tries a lot of stuff:
1) try to reset it to bootloader (pwr+joy+reset) - nothing
2) change USB port - nothing
3) setting in MsActiveSync - nothing
There is no display on the screen right now. Even if I put it in to charge there is nothing, no flashing blue led etc ... just dead ....
One thing I noticed is that after removing the battery, and putting it into the cradle, there is a red led light up.
Currently I ran out of options and can only think off taking out the battery for the XDAII to drain completely (not sure if this could help me get into the bootloader mode).
Any one out there who has any bright ideas? Pls help as I am desperate to fix my XDAII .... thanks ....

I had the same problem but I didn't loose hope. I kept on resetting it until I was able to get into the bootloader mode. It was black with some writings "SERIAL 1.06". When I put it back on cradle, Serial changed into USB 1.06. Tried to do the upgrade over and over again but didn't work. I put AC Adapter to my cradle and hard reset my unit, put back to the cradle, started the upgrade again and it worked. :wink:

There are several Golden Rules when upgrading - not just to SE, but any upgrade.
Always make sure the cradle is attached directly to a USB port on the PC and not through a hub.
Always make sure the power supply is connected to the cradle.
Disable USB in Activesync connection settings.
Disable any screensavers
If an error does occur, putting your device into bootloader mode and restarting the upgrade often proceeds OK.
Bootloader mode can be a little tricky to obtain as the multi-directional button has to be pressed directly down in the middle - not tilted up, tilted down, tilted left or tilted right, at the same time as pressing the power button and the reset switch.
It is very easy to assume bootloader is not working when it may just take several attempts before you get it right.

My qtek2020 dead because it's my mistake I upgrade it to SE correctly but with Chinese Version and before DCS post his ROM when I saw it's working better than my PDA2K I try to flash my qtek2020 with the PDA2K ROM ( I make some HEX editing ) but with no luck my qtek2020 is totally dead
Any body have solution !
How I recover from my dead XDA II ..
I have to agree with DCS that those are the rules and you need to follow them properly. It's not the ROM that's having the problem but the procedure needs to be followed.
In my case I didn't have the Sync cable properly connected (I bought a new sync cable & I didn't use the cradle) to upgrade the XDAII (duh!).. and I paid the price of having my heart droped on the floor ..
My nightmare started when the cable came loose halfway through the upgrade, so the XDA kind of "hung" and when I tried to reset it, it refuse to show any signs. Do a small test. My guess is as long as you take out the battery, put the XDA II into the charger (without a battery), and the red light comes on, that's a good sign.
For those who is stuck in this situation try this steps:
1) Remove the main battery
2) Leave it out for at least 30mins (to drain the backup battery)
3) Go make your self a coffee or watch TV (time flies faster than staring at your XDAII)
4) Put the battery back (at this stage it still won't work)
5) Put the XDAII into the AC Charger (give it a good 5mins charge)
6) Then keep doing the hard reset (just don't give up, it's like doing CPR, your XDAII will show "Serial 1.06" after a good hard resets ...)
Those steps above did work for my XDAII .... and it should work for most cases as I believe when we upgrade (the ROM) we don't touch the bootloader. Sometimes when we screw up, the XDAII got "hung" and it needs a good "cold boot". Taking the battery out won't help because the backup battery is still in. After a good "cold boot" the XDAII will boot into the bootloader and you can resume your upgrade ;-)
NOTE : Do keep your fingers cross through out the entire process.
PS: Thanks to DCS, Twinkle, mamaich and many others who contributed to this fine forum ... Long live the XDA I, II, IIs, III .... beyond ....
How to upgrade my BOOOTLOADER VERSION (it shows USB 1.01)
Is there a way to change my bootloader version from USB 1.01 to 1.06? I'm currently using T-Mobile MDA-II.
Thanks beforehand!
I have a big problem: this summer i dropped my MDA2 on a concrete floor and i broke the power button so I cant make anything but soft reset, or to remove the battery for 30 min for hard reset.

I'm trying and trying to hard reset it I can't see the bootloader, I discharged the backup batt already. Can you help here or is there any other suggestion?
Ps: If I remove the battery and plug the Ac.Adpt I can see here the red light , but if I put back the battery there won't be red light , is that normal ?

Sanity saved
Thanx to dcs i was able to get my device working again.
During upgrade (wich was also possible due to time and effort by DCS) my laptop went into standby for unknown reason.
So my xda got stuck in T-Mobile bootscreen
It was this thread and especially the posting by dcs wich saved my ass (and xda)
for i did not know about the reset with third button to get into bootloader.
Now i finally upgraded to 2003SE.
Thanx DCS!!
hello ,
i have the same problem.. somebody can help me or us??
thanks !!

Just searching through the old threads and I found this post by alvinlim28. I have the same simptoms, white screen, won't start, I get the red light when I remove the battery and place the hima in the craddle, so I guess I'll be up all night trying to get into bootloader and reflash. Thanks all for the contribution in this forum, and thank God for the search option

No luck tonight, I'll keep trying tomorrow gtg to sleep now.

Hi...im a n00b here but really need help
ok...i tried upgrading my SX56 to 2003 thru siemens website. I followed directions like it told me. I put the phone in its cradle, didnt pick up any calls (nor did i recieve any calls), and then BAM...it got stuck at 10% for like 30mins - 1 hour. so i was like, umm ok. it froze?
i then took it off the cradle and did a soft reset hoping it would fix the problem....but yet, i was wrong...it doesnt show anything. so i proceed to make a Hard-Reset. now its totally screwed.
is my device gone for good?
well, i then reinstalled my ROM using the Program i found here at this site. I used the SD-Card method. I put the files in my card, insert it into the device, and held down the power button while performing a soft reset. This is where i got to the FLASHING screen where i think its copying the files to my phone? well, after this was finished, it told me to make a COLD reset. i assumed it meant soft reset, so i did.
now, here the window screen shows
all it is showing is
G
R
A.30.09
that's it? and it stays like that. can sumone help me plz
I got the same problem. Check my posts, I'll check yours. It sucks not having the P/PC and only the bootloader. I still have not fixed my phone and my day of optimism is comming to an end. My fear of having a dead phone is slowly creeping up. Anyway, good luck with your problem. Val.
A cold reset means you unscrew the top of your stylus and insert it into the tiny hole on the bottom right of your xda, the one with the red mark on, press once which will disconnect battery power, leave for one minute, press again will switch it back on. This always needs to be carried out following rom upgrade.

Hello XDA-Users....
I've got a little problem with my xda-device.
It's just doing not much. If i attach the device to the cradle. The system turned on and is beginning to start the ROM (I see the T-Mobile screen). I-ve got the hint that the installed ROM is 3.13. Radiostack and Protocol is empty. -> should be then GSM-Error in the bootloader.
After all this messages i've got an short "pling" (beep) of the device, and it all begins from starting....
I can not enter bootloader (nothing happens) and the battery won't be charged..... (There is no light)
I've checked already the fuse of the device. Looks good. What else do i have for possibilities to get the device working again? That the GSM-Part does not work is not important. I need the device just for testing and installing new software to include in the kitchen. So the phone function is not needed.
The battery semms to work, I still got some Volt if i check it with the multimeter.
Anyone have some tips for me?
Stefan
Have you looked at the connector on the base of the xda under magnification, it may be a bent pin on that or on the cradle that is preventing charging.
Connector looks good.
If i conect it, the device is getting power.
When i disconnect the cable / cradle the device stops doing anything and goes off.
If i do an hard reset with connected USB-cable, nothing happens.
If i try enter bootloader the display is flashing until i refuse the power button. Than endless "booting" starts again...
Stefan
It does sound like a low power situation, I think the gsm will not switch in unless there is sufficient power. If you need a battery I have one here that was removed from an xda a few months ago but should be fine, send me your address if you need it and I will give it to you.
That previous post was from me. Also have you checked that you dont have a stuck button.?
The buttons looks fine. tested them already. So that isn't the fault *damn*
If you can send me the battery, that would be very nice.
Maybe it's really the probelm. But i think, if the battery is in bad condition, there should be anway going a light on to show "going to load tthe battery".....

If a hard reset doesn't solve the problem, then try this.
DO A FULL BACKUP FIRST!!!
Open the XDA, and remove the battery
(together with whatever circuit is attached)
Put the battery in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
Remove it, and reinstall it.
Now put it back in the cradle and it should charge.
Then to a restpore from the backup.
This just happened to me and it brought my XDA back to life.
A chemical process happens to rechargeable batteries that
prevents them from receiving a charge. Apparently freezing
the battery for a very short time (20 minutes) corrects this.
Try this at your own risk, but I did it to my only XDA and it is working fine
for about a week now. Otherwise I would have had to scrap my XDA.
Let me know how it works for you.

Sorry to hear it didn't work.
Its been over a week and mine seems to be holding up.
I'd have to guess you battery is completely dead.
i have the same problem
you seem to be having the same problem as me m8 do you have no radio
or information on the radio task bar.
my unit keeps on re-starting the same as yours and i cant access setup even after hard reset. i attempt to charge the unit and the pwr light comes on briefly then goes out after approx 10 secs the unit then starts itself up and as mentioned before turns itself on and off randomly.
(i have no software for this unit just the unit and charger no memory card)
i am new to pda's do i need any softwares if i get it working?
any feedback appreciated
hello All
I had a xda 1 that was showing the picture of just t.Modile when it was turned on. Well thats what I was told on ebay. Anyway I got the unit thinking i would be able to try the rom thing and update it ok. Anyway when it came the bat was flat. So today a cradle and charger came. I pluged in the xda and then the charger and it came on straight away ( dont know if it should do this) any way it came onto the t mobile screen like i was told. So thought i would leave it till it was charged. I was doing other work when i heard it ping. I looked at it and it said welcom to windows 2003 which i thought great. went through the setup and it all seems working. I tried to switch it off in the cradle but it would not let me It this correct? Anyway I took it from the cradle and switched it off and tried to switch it back on but it would not come on. So i put it back in the cradle and it switched straight on. No waiting for the set up screen again.
Firstly should it switch on as soon as you put it on the cradle and should you be able to switch it of whilst in the cradle. Also does the problem i have described above point to the battery being buggerd?
Many thanks And any help much appreciated
regards Andy
Most likely the battery is dead. Had the same problem. I have bought a new 1700mAh battery for my XDA 1 at eBay, price incl. shipping €20,- Works like a charm again.
Hello
Riight a bit more information on the XDA1 I Have I have took it apart and tested the battery it only reads 3.4 volts I take it that the correct voltage is 3.7 volts so i would say its the battery.
Another problem i have knoticed is when i put it in the cradle from dead and it starts up it stops on the t mobile screen for a while (about 10 mins) before going to the main 2003 screen and while it is in this screen i cannot do nothing at all with it (Buttons or stylus), Is this correct. any help would be great thanks.
One last question the unit is a O2 unit and i think it hase been flashed to give it w2003 op sys Now how would i keep this operating system but get it back on O2 thanks in advance,
regards Andy
Doesn't sound right to me. Boot after warm reset of my 3.5 years old XDA I takes 5 secs max, no more. Boot after a cold reset also takes just a few secs, before I see the O2 bubbles boot screen.
You could try the "latest" PPC 2002, to see if the device is still that slow at boot time.
What I am thinking is this is under mains power only not batery is this the reason its actingh like this? the main battery is only 3,4 volts does this point to a failed battery?
regs Andy
Is any GSM error displayed on screen??
Hello
No only thing is when i try to load the phone program it says only emergency calls without pin?
Thanks Andy
Was judt thinking about using the special rom but not sure how to eiter via the cradle into the xda or onto the sd card then see what happens? way out of my leauge at the moment you read that meny conflicting items I dont think i can get it into bootloader because of the batt fault in that if i take it off cradle and switch it off it wont come back on till its pluged back on the cradle LOL so im lost I think i will have to get a batt first. What voltage is your reading pls and do you think a batt at 3.4 is knakerd thanks again ( me rambling on and on sorry)
re XDA
One thing i have just seen when looking throug the hardware items it gives the rom version and rom date but it is blank at radio version and protacol version. Should these be blank
Also there is no imei number shown in the Identity all it shows in there is H/W Pw10B1 and platfprm PocketPC.
Thats about it
thanks andy
Looks like you need to flash a new ROM; http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby
Re the above XDA
Hi Again Firstly can anyone confirm that a battery is dead when it only reads 3.4 volts after hours in the charging cradle? Before I get a new one
Secondley if it is dead I asume that i will have to get a replacment one if i am to flash the rom correct? ( it cannot be done on mains power alone due to the need to remove from the cradle for a soft reset? CAN IT?)
Next I have a SD card 512 and also a external SD card reader/writer (usb) how is the best way to go about flashing it afterwards? Do i write a the rom to the sd card via the external reader/writer and then insert into xda? and do the soft reset thing?
What would be the best and most stable rom to go for pls. Or should i use the site with the cooking roms on.
The XDA is a O2 but shows T-Mobile on start up ( would like it back to original if poss)
The UNIT is a pw10a (stamped on the back) but if it shows in the h/w as pw10b when the unit is switched on? and as said does not show a wireless version or a emei num although it is stamped on the XDA/
Any Help much appreciated . I just seem to be getting my head in a right knot with this one.
Many Thanks
Andy
Hi guys
I have a dead prophet in my hands. It came dead already and I dont know what happened to it. Basicly, screen flashes when I put the battery in. Cant go on bootloader by pressing the keys. Can only go in bootloader by shorting the charger to the pins ( 1 and 5 ). Bootloader dosnt stay on if I take the cables on. It stays on only shorting it. I manage put this rom from the imate
JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip and had no luck . ROM update sucess but phone still in the same way. Im going to try a couple of more roms to see if I have any luck. Did anyone had a similar problem ? its a G4 so there is a chance that someone previouly tried a bad rom or even can be hardware problem.
Still .. any sugestion is good.
Thanks guys
Try the ORIGINAL wall charger and then put the battery in. That might work and once th accu has charged enough you can boot.
Might be the charging-bug.
My S200 is back for repair, crashd a couple of times and now it turns on, but see no display, no LED's.
Looks like a hardware defect, on active sync the S200 seems to work.
Hard reset's didn't work out.
The Phone is equiped with an original latest WWE ROM.
It seems to be a problem of these phone's, this is the second time it broke with this problem....
There is a difference with the former problem and my latest, the former my screen never came up, with the latest it came up after removing the battery for 15 minutes, but after an hour usage the S200 crashd or didn't show any display...
Hope they are able to repair the damn thing..., it wasn't a cheap device...
Another one here!
I'm the most stupid guy in the world. I was unlocking my G4 device with Lokiwize, and it killed my Prophet . I can't Turn it on without Charger. While trying to turn it on the LCD and LEDs just blinking and nothing will happened. I Need My Device, Anyone who can help me?
I think it's IPL Problem.
Before The Update:
IPL 2.x.x.xxxx
SPL 2.x.x.xxxx
After The Update:
IPL 1.x.x
SPL 2.x.x.xxxx
Please somebody Helppppppppppppp Meeeeeeeeeeeee

hey frnd 1st of all charge your phone completely then upgrade your old wm5 rom through bootloader mode .....hope it works .....best of luck
Hi All,
My Prophet just died...
I made a RadioROM upgrade and after a reboot I did an IPL upgrade. I did a soft reset and now it doesn't want to turn on. I'm really confused what did I make wrong and how can I redo it.
I'm looking forward to a helpful info.
Thanks
Does your screen stay black or does it display anything? Can you enter bootloader? And why would you want to upgrade your IPL???
My screen is dark black, I can not even turn it on. I doesn't matter what sort of switch I press on the dev. So I can't see the bootloader and I think it's a serious problem...
After the IPL upgrade the reboot was succesful and on the startup screen it says IPL 2.20.0001 and worked for a while.
I've changed my local settings, which reqiures a soft reset, so I did it. After this, no aswer...
I'm very dissapointed because of the pda and your help dear all...
Is your battery dead? Try it with your charger.
No, my battery was fully charged before I ran into this major problem...
I had a similar issues which was misteriously resolved after a few plug ins and battery removals. I also let the battery completely drain and removed it from phone for a few hours. It worked when connected to wall charger but not with battery. It seemed like interior phone battery was dead. One day I connected it to the wall charger and the battery status when from zero to 98% and it stayed there. Really weird stuff. I ordered another battery and so far so good. One of the batteries did die and i discarded it, but I still use the other old battery plus I have a new spair.
Yamilrx, thanks the info...
I'll try it, but I've lost my faith in this device. It's in clinical dead state for 2 days from now, and it looks like doesn't want to wake up or alive.
This is a very misteroius issue.
I don't understand it, if I upgraded wrongly somebody tell me, why was the device started after? And if it was a wrong update, how can I turn it on and make calls, etc. and after a soft reset it DOESN'T reply for anything?!
I bought it almost 2 years ago, so I assume the battery could cause similar problem. But it was almost fully charged. The Star Wars was less incredible then this thing...
Except this, I'll accept your advice. I'm going to try it.
try the following, as your device is dead and curently noy useable.
-remove the battery for a day and just leave it there
- put in the battery and connect the charger
- hold your camera button while turning the device on
do you get into the 3 colored screen? if so, the device can now be downgraded etc.
particular reason why you have not tried a HARD reset?

- hold your camera button while turning the device on
do you get into the 3 colored screen? if so, the device can now be downgraded etc.
particular reason why you have not tried a HARD reset?

Thanks, I'll try it first after go to a shop and buy a battery.
Anyway, when I mentioned I've tried all the combinations of the buttons, I meant i did a hard reset too. But my Spleeping Beauty is still doing the same...
The problem hasn't been solved by the solutions you have mentioned before, so I've called the HTC technical support, they were very friendly - they must be because I'll pay for it - and 2 days from now they will tell me how much does it costs or it is repairable or not...
Thanks for your help.

I did that with mine to see if it would reset device once the internal battery is totally discharged. Like I said earlier, mine came back to live. Make sure you install the WM 5 rom used for downgrading and don't try any of the WM 6 roms until the device is fully functional with wm5. The batteries are $8 on ebay but they take 1 week to get here from Hong Kong.
If winter comes,can sping be far away?
Hi All,
The service technician examined my Prophet and he said, I have to change a mainboard. Have you ever run into this kind of problem? If I want a repair, it'd cost me 300 Euro!!
Luckily I still have a warranty, so I hope I don't have to pay for the service.
Take care your Prophet...
