Hi all,
I hope anyone can help me on this. I downloaded the
new firmware from the UK T-Mobile site for a SDA-II phone and
installed it. During the install my wonderful XP system stopped
showing off a BSOD... (blue screen of death)
So the upload to the phone was interrupted. If I try now to switch on the phone nothing happens.
Problem is I also used the sw to remove the simlock already, so I suppose I cannot go back to t-mobile for a repair.
Is there any way to get the firmware back into the phone correctly ?
I know there should be a way using an In System Programmer, ISP
Has anyone experience with this problem ?
this has been experienced many times, with many posts on it.
Try getting the device into bootloader mode (not sure of the key combination for the hurricane) and you should be able to reflash it through windows.
I have the same problem and don't know how to backup my previous ROM, did any one experience about that, please tell us.
Th eeasiest method is:
- Disable the USB-Connection in the settings of desktop AS
- press and hold the camera-button
- connect the SDA II with the USB-cable
- after a view seconds appears a three-coloured display, you're now in the bootloader
- you can now stopp pressing the camera-button 8)
If you cann access the bootloader, your phone isn't allready death! You can flash an image from the MiniSD!
Hi All,
I have an SDA II which suffered a failed ROM update as described above. Unfortunately I am unable to get the bootloader screen to display using the technique described above.
Has anybody got advice as to where I can get the phones software reloaded and everything back up and running again.
PS I have made extensive unsuccessful use of the search feature before posting.
Any help very much appreciated.

euh i really need uyrgent help i can't connect to theactive sync either, i just downloaded the new windows to my device clicked on something and then it went off and only black letters serial and v1.0. it's not my xda so HELP HELP HELP
don't panic...
you are in bootloader mode.
you've probably executed 'enterbl.exe', which is a part of every upgrade.
just connect your device with your pc and run normal upgrade/flash procedure.
buzz
but i can't use active sync anymyore, i unzipped the thing i downloaded and now it got 7 options to choose from but when i click it it opens a install program and in big red letters ROM IMAGE FILE NOT FOUND
it also says
the pocket pc software update cannot locate the ROM image file to update to your pocket pc. Download the correct rom update for your pocket pc and try again and i am a real noob in these thing
did you try a hard reset?
press the on/off button and the softreset button at the same time.
if that wont work

if you understand my english thats ok.
i completly understand german but im not so good in speaking it.
normaly we can only speak english here but we can make an exeption so you can speak german to me and i will speak english back. OK? or try the translator (www.freetranslation.com)
did you perform the hardreset?
activesync won't work aslong as serial is replaced by the word usb when in the cradle it's ok carry on with the upgrade
try another pc to upgrade!
thats happen to me too.. but...
i also try to install the downloaded items from this website (which is the new windows version 2003 SE), and soon after i start installing it, my desktop computer says "error has occure during the installation process".
:shock: i was very shocked when i see my device completely blank with a word says "USB (on the top)" and "Ver. 1.03 (on the bottom)".. i really panic beacuse my active sync doesn't worked.. but then i start to hard reset my xda then reconnect my device and try to install it several times (bercause sometimes the error message still appear..) after waiting for 5 step of installation which takes abaout 2 hours
tadaaaaaaa now i have an XDA IIs application on my phone...
So in conclusion:
1. do't be panic :wink:
2. try to hard reset ur device
3. reconnect ur device (even if the activesync won't recognized ur device)
4. Install the downloaded files..
5. wait until ur computer says "deleting extended rom" (or something like that)
6. be patient..
7. Pray to GOD..
8. and here you go you got new look for ur beloved xda.
good luck..
oh it works!!!!
there are no words for it and the landscape and the themes, it's BEAUTIFULL!! thanks alot everyone!!!!!!
Similar but not same
Hi I have a similar problem.
While updating my Himalaya device to the XDA2jojo v3.2z5 (not the first time I have installed this version) it has gone completely blackscreen.
I have tried to soft, hard reboot the device. I have also tried to initiate a reinstall with connection error failure. I have tested the batttery and it is okay. No matter what I do I cannot get the device to come back to life.
If I plug the device into the cradle or attach power I get a red light where there is normally the green flashing or orange power light.
Anyone any ideas what this could be.
I have had a similar issue where I would get a blackscreen this problem has occured a few times but I have always managed to get the device back with hard reset.

pleeeeeaaase read/search the forum i know its fustrating when your phone apears to be dead but there are about 100000 topics about this problem and about 100000 times the solution!
greetings OMEGA_ReD
After I tried to downgrade my Qtec2020 from WM2005 tot WM2003SE the updated stoped in stage 1.
This is what I found in the RUULog.log file:
19:15:11 Connection with Serial
19:16:31 Begin stage 1
19:17:01 CE Erase retry 1
19:17:31 CE Erase retry 2
19:18:01 CE Erase retry 3
Now I am stucked in bootloader mode and tried softreset, hardreset, special WM2005 hardreset but nothing seems to work. I have only a grey screen with Serial v1.02 on it.
Is there anybody who could help me
I've never performed any downgrades from WM5.0 but I have an idea that could work?
Install WM5.0 again, then perform a Hardreset but this time perform the Registry and Storage format (press power+record+camera+reset pin for about 5 seconds and you should see a menu on the screen, by using the record button to select an option and camera button to change to YES. It should be NO, YES, YES and press ACTION button to save changes). Then unhide the Extended ROM and erase anything in there.
Then perform the downgrade to WM2003SE.
I hope this works for you...
Regards,
Rayan
Thanks for the information but it's not the solution.
I tried to install WM5 again but I get an error 112 during the install.
The RUULog.log file:
20:42:03 Connection with Serial
20:43:26 Begin stage 1
20:43:56 CE Erase retry 1
20:44:26 CE Erase retry 2
20:44:56 CE Erase retry 3
The device is still stuck in bootloader mode. All the reset actions won't work (soft, hard, special)
Have you tried the upgrade/downgrade method using an SD card instead of the cradle/pc?
No I only tried it by USB/PC. I will search the forum for how to do this and give it a try. I will let you know later if this is the solution. Thanks for the information so far.
Regards Marco
I search the forum but can't find any way to do this. Can someone tell me how to flash by SD card
It's in the Wiki, not the forums...

Hi, I was just upgading my XDA 2 os when my laptop froze in the middle of the upgrade! Now it only has the o2 startup screeen it won' turn off or connect to my computer to complete the upgrade. What can I do?
Is my Xda gone for good??
skud try aggain
you can put it back in bootloader mode and try aggain
this time on a destop you know power problem in laptop
you will not want a power failure in the middle of an upgrade
hope thats helped
Stuck on Bootloader
I experienced the same thing too.
Just detached battery from your device for about 10 minutes (I pressumed, may need more time)... then do the downgrade again.
in your PC task manager ''end process'' the ff:
''wcescomm.exe''
''WCESMgr.exe''
''rapimgr.exe''
now connect again the device and start the reflash...it works for me.
hope this wl help you...
No joy I'm afraid. How can I get it back in bootloader mode when I can't get past the O2 startup screen. Putting in an sd card Doesn't do anything either it is completely dead except for the annoiying but colorful O2 Logo.
Ok, it just turned itself off so I am after turning it back on andnow all I have is a white screen! What is going on? The laptop crashed when it was at 65% in the upgrade proces.
I'll give this taskmanager thing a go and get back to ya.
Thanks for all the help btw!
I have placed a ROM.nb1 on my SD card, but I get a eror with the XDA OS Image Tool. It looks that I can't find any way to get out of the bootloader mode whatever reset I tried. The battery was out for almost 12 hours but this also makes no difference. Is there a other way to flash by SD card or is there a way to reset/upgrade the bootloader mode. I think the bootloader mode hangs or is corrupt.
Regards Marco
I've tried that now and it still won't connect and still the same white screen! Any othere suggestions? Is there anything I can download which would force a connection or install something onto my XDA or does anyone know how I can get past this blank screen and maybe get to the settings window?
This must have happened other people anyone managed to fix this?
:!: :!:
hey power kite! It seems we got similar problems but your a bit ahead in getting it fixed. Can you tell me where you got the Rom.nb1 file so I can give this XDA tool thing a go?

Great that it worked for you.
I did procedure 1, 2 and 3 but I'm still stuck in bootloader mode. Every upgrade WM2005, WM2003SE wich I have flashed before give me an error 112. I have flashed my SD card but I don't get any instructions on my screen.
Is it possible to install the bootloader again or upgrade it. I think my problem is the bootloader.
First of all sorry for my english not good.
Start : with my HD2 have brick after task29 and not success to flash new ROM I'm take USB. cable out and try to open my HD2 in to boot loader by put volum down + power bottom but screen not show any image or 3 color my phone it only long vibration pull battery out waiting 30 minute and put battery in and try to open my phone to boot loader but is same only long vibration.
Now : can not do any think with it when try to plug power in my phone is auto startup and long vibration.
I'm search on google and in this forum not have some one face problem same as me please help me to fix this.
Any body please help me, I'm love it because now we can run both WM. and Android
Upppp waiting for your help
Did you try a long press of the reset-button?
You could try to put the original Stock Image from HTC onto the root-folder of your SD-Card, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and Push Vol up + Vol down during start and follow the on-screen instructions if it works.
Otherwise use Search-Function in the forum.

I use ORT
Did you check to make sure your radio version was correct before flashing? This is probably the number one reason for bricking.
Check this thread it may help you if you did the flash properly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
i got same problem now...
no screen, no boot, vol down+ power oso same
no screen just a long vibration
anybody help?
I am using the correct radio so don't tell me I am using a wrong radio or something, I have been flashing for 4 months so I know EXACTLY how to flash.
now i can neither get into tri-color or hard reset so don't tell me to flash or smth like that, just tell me how to recover properly
Don't tell us to use search or something because seems like only 2 of us is encountering this problem in the internet
I'm exactly the same problem as TS coz it juz auto go vibrate when plug in battery
This problem actually started when I flash ROM halfway, it stucked and failed...
the device is already HSPL-ed!!!!
but why the F it cannot get into tri-color bootscreen now?
Also, I have to state that my device already got several problems before, my device was very hard to bootup as it will always stuck at HTC screen w/o red version number at bottom left corner, must keep on removing and reinstall battery and reboot until it can boot, not an issue with rom/radio/sim/sd as I tried flash proper rom and radio and remove sd and SIM.
my device also seems like got problem at the gps chip, because when using it for a few minutes, it will lost signal and never reconnects unless i soft reset, after use gps the device will also use battery VERY FAST(-100mA in standby, from -4mA).
now i cannot flash to stock completely, how do I get warranty it?
at the long vibrate, when i plug in to my pc, it will keep on got usb connected and disconnected sound
and dont know what device is connected as not shown in found new hardware and device manager
I also have been searching all possible keywords about what me and TS encountered but all linked to completely UNRELATED results(like search for long vibrations only link to people asking how to make vibration long and 1st result is this thread)

Leo from T-Mobile. Hi! I've got same problem. After flashing new (next) rom phone definetely died. Phohe is currently simfree and with HSPL. Only one reaction is short vibration after press power button. I searched everywhere. My phone has no bootloader but system see him as Qualcom CDMA Technologies MSM. Thats all, any ideas? Please and thanks for advice.

Yes, you flashed a non tmous stock rom that included a ..51.. radio and it destroyed your phone.
What rom? exact filename please.
thank you so much.
I bricked a Leo with the .51 radio. I think I read that is a European or otherwise foreign radio. Since your ROM has Euro in the name.......

RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.66.479.2_Radio_CRC_Si gned_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
it comes with a version x.xx.51.x radio, and they do Not work on tmous (t mobile us) phones. They kill them
Your phone is dead, sorry. No known fix.
warranty or repair (or JTAG if you are brave and have the money)
a friend of mine bricked his phone. he then tried to microwave it, but that didn't work after that he took a power wire from an old computer, cut it and connected it directly to the phone's parts where the battery would go...this completely f-ed his phone up (he also used a lighter to fake a powersurge of the battery). Then he called htc and a few weeks later he got a new hd2!
GOOD LUCK
lol, he doesnt need to do any of that, its allready as dead as it can be. Loads of epople have had them replaced under warranty with this kind of brick. It wont start, so htc/tmo cant see that its been hacked.
Hi! I understand and realy sad. Somebody know where could I fix it in UK? And how much for this pleasure. Thanks.
i would contact htc, see what they have to say. (dont say you flashed it, it just stopped working")
My apologies if this post is already started elsewhere (please guide me there if you can), but it seem the search is not possible today...
I rooted my brand new Vodafone Smart 2 and in order to free some memory I was moving some files from internal to SD card. Noticing a folder in the root called custpack (and thinking it was the specific folder Vodafone used for its teaking) I wanted to play around with it on my computer, but instead of copying it to SD card, I MOVED it... :0 At the first command the screen turned gray and the phone froze. I can turn it off now only by removing the battery. When it starts it can't go pass the android logo (boot image) and the screen turns gray. I know that Power button and Volume Down yield to Recovery menu, but my ROM is branded Vodafone Albania and they have removed that option. All I get is the option for factory reset (or I think that is what "All you data will be lost, Yes/No" means). Accepting that does restart the phone but still the same logo and gray screen afterwards.
Unfortunately, I can't install from SD due to this branded Vodafone AL ROM I have, and adb device command at the command prompt (DOS) does not recognize the phone (it did recognize before as I have the drivers loaded and Android SDK Tools).
Can someone help me either bringing the Recovery option to install from SD so I can try a complete flash of the original, or if there is any way I can have the adb recognise the device, or if there is any other way. I found a user here (Voda_Smart_2) that seemed to have the same problem and someone had said could help but only through PM. I tried to reply the thread so I could present my case, but as a newly registered I was not allowed to post on developers forums.
PLEASE HELP ME - For someone who uses a low-end phone like Vodafone Smart II option to buy a new one after ruining a new one is not possible....

Thank you for interest and concern for my situation! I know very well roeddie custom rom for VS2. I have actually installed version 0.9.1 as well as version 0.9.9 to some friends. I have the undestanding that the AIO he uses requires that the phone be recognized by the PC (adb devices does not list anything in my case). However, I'll give it a try and let this forum know if roeddie AIO flasher (OTA update 3) does install without the need for PC to recognize the android phone.
Thanks,

Vodafone Smart 2 device can't start code 10 error
I have the same problem any help..?
dead battery is the answer
well guys if anyone of you still use this device; a possible fault that causes infinite boot logo screen is dead battery. Actually the controller board of the battery gets shorted causing a stable 1.7v output instead of 3.8~4.2v and refuses to charge even pushing power to it from an external power supply. Thats why the phone stucks on logo; it is the same reaction to connecting the phone to the charger without a battery... what you have to do is to find a used or a new battery (if it's still worth to do so...)

Thanks for the suggestion! It is not a problem of battery, as I have tried with two other batteries from friends' V860. Plus, if it is a board circuit then it does not matter if the we change the battery, unless with 'board' you mean the way batteries are connected inside the battery pack.
Thanks once again! Your answer is much appreciated! Keep them coming if you think about something else. I still have this phone, just for because I like to know what was the problem or how to overcomes such situations in the future.
Good people of XDA, please hear me out on my problem and help me if possible!
Somehow i managed to get my Sony Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) bricked!
I tried to root it through the Doomlord method, but when i booted my phone after following EVERY step in the process, the only thing i got was my phone vibrating for like half a second, the red led flashing continuously and the back button lit up brightly. After like 10 seconds of this behaviour my phone simply shuts down and the same process happens again after a few moments. This goes on until i remove the battery.
I have looked for a solution for this kind of brick but i found no clear explanation as to what i should do to fix this...
I have also tried to:
1. Access flash mode by connecting a USB cable while holding the volume down button.
2. Fix the software through Sony Ericsson's PC Companion.
Obviously, without any success...
Don't know if this is of any use but my phone was bought in belgium so it probably runs on European firmware, it was also updated to the latest version of android available on this phone (the 4.1.B.0.587 version).
I'm not a complete noob to rooting and flashing custom ROMs anymore so i doubt that i actually forked up on the rooting process, but so far i'm all out of ideas!
Would anyone be so kind to give me a clear explanation on how to solve this issue?
Kind regards,
A confused Papelierke.

I think that happened after ure flashing MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf rite?
coz after flashing that kernel ure device wont work as normal, only light on back button.
u can try this.
- remove ur battery and put it back
- double click runme.bat on ur rooting kit folder then press any key
- turn on ur device and connect it to ur pc
- see the progress on cmd, when u see device found enabling emulator hack, ur rooting method almost done. wait until all steps finish.
- flash sk17_4.1.b.0.587_kernel.ftf to run ur device normally
