How to revive a comatose Atom? - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

Got fidgetty yesterday and decided to reflash my Atom which has otherwise been doing great.
Upgrade hang for 3 hours at the initial 4% mark! Took cable out, reset pc and Atom which has been in bootloader mode since then, but all further attempts end at the 4% stage! Even overnight. Looks like my dear Atom is quitting.
Need advice to revive this guy fast. Switched to 818 pro in the meantime . No reply yet from O2 support .
Cheers
Victor

Victor, had the same problem. Try reflashing it from different computer(s). Make sure it is not attached to any USB Hub.
It worked on my Atom after trying on 3 different computers.
Cheers.

I've had the same problem sometimes ago. Now I made 2Gb drive with the clear WinXP and only ActiveSync on my desktop for flashing Atom. Befor it I tried to flash ROM on three computers and all times the process failured after flashing radio. On the clear system there is no problem.

I hope what you are refering to is same for my situation. The Atom is not working and is always showing "Upgrade ......."
Will try your recommendation after work since I have just formated my other notebook. But please confirm your was not just error in upgrade, but bootloader mode, where the atom is not switching back on

I had absolutly the same screen. But if you will have any problems in the begining of upgrade, try fistly remove battery and then place it back again. If it doesn't help switch device in bootloader mode - camera + rest buttons together.

Device shows "Update Device" on a black screen.
Camera+Reset ends up with totally black screen that looks like device off, but heats up over time.
Take out battery and put back = "Update Device"
Connect to cable and pc = additional line "USB connected"
Start upgrade ROM, end up stuck at 4% :evil: :evil: :evil:
Have tried all the historical ROMs but none goes beyond 4%. Device is unusable at the moment :twisted:
Any further help would be appreciated

Hm... Take out battery and put back = "Update Device"

- absolutly right and normal. May be you not so patient? It takes about 30-40 mins to flash rom. And what is on the screen of your desktop or notebook? What errors has been shown?

The day it happended I waited 3 hours!
Second time disabled pc stanby etc. and left it overnight :twisted:
A solution may be right around the corner 8) otherwise sell it as scrap :shock:

The fidgeting continues :lol:
While waiting to ship off my atom for repair or exchange 8) I decided to explore a bit to try and bring it back to life. Found that pressing camera and record buttons, and soft reseting at the same time brings up a dignostic screen!
After using the dailpad to sdo the various tests this is my resul:
Sdram test : OK
Display test: OK
Keyboard test: Fail
Flash test: Fail
Serial test: OK
I am not very sure about the keyboard test because I pressed both green and red phone buttons when a series of green squares appeared on screen.
I am sharing this with the hope that someone knows how to get the flash back.
Buzz are you there :roll: :wink:

Try to flash in bootloader mode. Press camera and reset together.
If there will be an error during upgrade (on desktop in upgrade window), write it here.

The device is permanently in bootloader mode. And there is no feedback on the desktop about error, even when I leave it overnight.
Connection error only pops up when I pull the cable out.

pressing camera and record buttons, and soft reseting at the same time brings up a dignostic screen.......
Sdram test : Ok
Display test: Ok
Keyboard test: OK
Flash test: Fail
Serial test: OK
At all so? Check up please
At me a problem: when illumination is switched off, sometimes phone will be paralysed.
i try to reflash in bootloader mode - dont work....

I think if you do an upgrade on clear windows system and have this troubles without a reasons or errors - this is direct way to service centre.
2PRO-Z May be not to switch backlight off?

To service centre for sore! Will book tomorrow and mail it in

Dr.Shultz очень смешно
Аккумулятор сажается быстро.
Кстати, при руссификаторе и последней прошивке заметил у АТОМА тенденцию зависать и не реагировать на стилус, полная парализация. Поэтому с русской клавой и на инглише
Проверь тест, очень интересен тест на флеш.

Вот поэтому я руссификацией никогда не пользуюсь и никому не советую. Очень редки случаи когда руссификация не глючит. Лучше просто поставить русскую клаву и все. А тест на флеш проверить могу вечером дома, вот только смысл? У тебя явно дело не в этом. Копать надо софт. Ответственно заявляю что с новой прошивкой, клавой lengOptima, O2 plus, magic button может еще чем по мелочи - Atom не глючит вообще. тьфу, тьфу, тьфу конечно.

Finally Atom is back
O2 decided to replace my dead Atom with a new one, so I am happy to be back here 8) To tweak or not to tweak 8)

Hi. you are so luckly. Now I met the same issue. In the flash process, my dear atom exec hang at the 6% updated extended_ROM. And now it is dead. And I tried all ways to relive, but all fail. Now there is only way that return to O2 for repair. ai....

mine died
yea my atom dies too i was flashing a new rom for my atom from the bootloader and forgotten bout how much battery and i think it ran out of battery can someone help me too please

ok i'm trying to flash to WM5 back and when i flash in bootloader mode this came out...
"Please use DSUU in OS mode and sync with PC first
USB Transfer Fail"
(btw i'm using an ATOM with accidentally flashed a Exec's ROM

There is a WIKI for this, but I guess you're to much in a stress to search...
First of all, Allthough it looks like that connection fails on several moments, don't panic. That's only normal, just be patient after some nailbreaking minutes (or even more...) things will continue.
What to do with your device now? Put it in bootloader mode:
Press the Camera button and soft reset. It will startup with a tricolor screen.
DISable the "allow USB connection" setting within ActiveSync
Connect your device to the USB port of your PC
Run the WM5 RUU again that you were using for the "Step1"
And now, just be patient!! First it seems to stop at 80% but it will continue. Then it pauses again at 95% but don't worry. Eventually it will make it to 100%.
After that: do nothing, don't touch nothing, just start the "Upgrade.bat" from the "Step2" folder. That will take some time to before it finishes, but it will. At last, DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A PROPER HARD RESET!
Rondol1 thank you. You don't know how helped me now. I lost ten years of my life. It works, thank you.

I advice u following this way:
1 - U unplug the battery for few minutes, then plug it into ur device
2 - Charge ur battery until it full (about 2 hours). Note: DO NOT USE USB_CHARGE, just use the adaptor.
3 - Uninstall the current Active Sync, then install the newest Active Sync from Microsoft (ver. 4.5)
4 - Turn on ur Prophet, then make it in the Bootloader status, connect with PC, up the step 1 (from PDAViet). Be patient until it complete.
5 - Continue with any step 2 u like.
Good luck.

HardSPL guide and files

I need someone to provide me a proper guide that will not lead me to other topics and the files i should use in order to upgrade mu Orange M600 SPV with windows mobile 6.1 and some greek support.
Thanks a lot and sorry if i act like a total brat but i tried everything in the guides and i think its too misleading for a newbie like me.
I use this guide:
1. copy the 3 files from the jumpspl.zip (attached at the bottom of this post )to the
ROOT directory of your Prophet ( NOT NOT NOT inside the windows folder,)
2. UNPLUG/disconnect YOUR DEVICE from PC,
3. Execute the SPL.lnk IN THE DEVICE (use Total Commander recommended or you
will make errors), then you see Prophet in all bright or white screen,
4. Then plug back the USB port ( connect to computer), here, nothing will be seen in the prophet
(make step 5 NOW or you will receive errors and need to do over again),
5. THEN execute the Rom Upgrade Utility (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe ( or G4), in the
HardSPL folder that you had downloaded, all activities will only take 2-3 minutes to go,
nothing will be seen in the Prophet screen. if you see unknown device detected (not normal) from PC, you need to repeat the above procedures.....
(P.S. if connection Error, NO PANIC, soft reset OR remove battery for half a minute and try again. )
6. after the flash completed, it will restart automatically.

But the SPL.lnk is not running either using total commander or the file explorer.What to do?
Use "Prophet Tools", there is a link in my signature.
This will allow you to HardSPL. Then, you need to get a ROM. I'd recommend one of gullums Coffie ROMs, as they have multilanguage support. They may not be WM6.1, but as far as I know, there are no WM6.1 Greek ROMs ATM.
I used your tool but after i press the hardspl the screen goes white and then nothing.Also it says error connection 204

deactivated your firewall too.
The screen should go white, as the new SPL does that!
i dont have a firewall
Are you using Windows XP or Vista?
I am using windows Xp,please someone contact me on msn so i can tell you exactly whats going on and maybe help me fix it.It goes to the white screen but then it disconnects for some reason.Please add me to your msn [email protected]
thanks a lot
I wish to publicaly say a thanks to l3v5y for all his great help.
Thanks a lot m8...
Would be quite usefull if you would post your solution here.
I also want to hard SPL my prophet but if i run the prophet tools select G4 and HARD SPL my PDA goes into a white screen and after a short time there is an error on my pc.
So i think i have almost the Same error but my code says ERROR 208 (CANT OPEN FILE)...
Yes i did have the same error.
Download this file and you will be ok:
http://rapidshare.com/files/112210743/HardSPL_G4.zip.html
If you need any more information i ll gladly help you.
That probably means I have the wrong/non existant file in Prophet Tools...
I had the same problem so he will be ok.
I have the same Problem. I tried the "Prohpet Tools" and the "HardSpl" tool (seems to be the same?).
As soon as i'm asked if i want to let jumpspl.exe access my prophet (TC500) and i choose yes the screen is fading to white, the usb-connection is closed and my prophet is doing nothing.
I tried it a few times and also tried another usb-cable and another usb-Port but nothing helped. My os ist xp sp3, firewall and Anti-Virus are disabled.
I tried to download the mentioned file in this thread but it isn't available anymore.
Please help me, this is getting on my nerves.
Thank you

Help !! After Rom Charg: Only 4 Colors Band!!!

Hello , i've an Orange SPV M3100 HTC and when i've tried to upload the ITA rom near the 81% of uploading the upload have a self crash !!! now i can'nt do nothing.... no hardreset or something !!! When i try to start i can see on display only The red-green-blu-white colours with derscribe : HERM100 IPL-1.01 !!! Please , help me for a new life for my Baby !!!
first on pc go to activesync settings and untick "allow usb connection". Connect to pc and run the install for the original rom (reboot into bootloader BEFORE connecting by holding power,ok button above the flywheel and reset with stylus, hold all buttons in to go to the tricolour screen. I know you're there already but this is now officially bootloader not a f***ed up boot). Theres a chance you will be able to fix it this way. No guarantees.....
Afterwards install Hard SPL on your "baby" so you increase your chance of recovery.
Hi, Thanks for your help ! I've tried but activesync do'nt show nothing . HardSPL cannot see nothing... the only thing i can read in the white stream of "baby" is the scribe change from serial to usb when i connect it to the pc .... Any idea ???
Install the Shipped Stock rom... It WON'T be picked up by activesync but that doesn't matter. Its registering that there is a usb connection so install the shipped stock rom.
DO NOT INSTALL ANOTHER ROM AS THIS MAY PERMANENTLY BRICK YOUR PHONE....
Thanks Mentore , i've a little problem more because i have'nt the original rom....Do you know where i can download it ? Migthy TTTT
hi, i've find it! ( I suppose...) >>>> Official Orange SPV M3100 AKU 3.3 update . It's a full rom official by Orange. I try now and i'll tell you if i kill me...
nothing............the program can't find via usb the baby......arghh
did you go to bootloader before trying - hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus, hpld all buttons in until it ets to bootloader ?
yes, before when i put the battery it's off, when you put in the battery is off , when you make a hard reset it's start in bootloader red-blu-green ecc. no usb connection display say " serial " , when in usb connection display say "USB" but nothing can find the "baby" in the pc-usb.....
one of probably solution i think is :WM5torage for find in usb , windows mobile 5-6 for read WM5torage and try to load original Orange rom . But i have'nt any 5 or 6...
Hold down the buttons I said on my last 2 posts to go to bootloader. Just resetting means you have a screwed up reset not bootloader reset...
Yhaooooooooooo!!! i've connect to a vista notebook and all black but with right red led on. After i've connected it to my xp desk and autoreboot the old rom.... mistery .....ghost..... bah, now is ok. Thanks overall , see next one. Ciao from Italy.
Cool, Glad you fixed it.

White Screen Of Death

Hello.
For some reason HardSPL does not work in my device (I patch it but I still see SPL 2.0.20.bla instead of G4) so in the past I used dioxda2 LazyTool to update to 6.5 and it worked fine after some tries.
However today I tried my luck updating to 6.5.1 23506 from bikertibi first using his tool but after seeing that it still doesn't work (aka doesn't patch spl) I tried using LazyTools. But it doesn't work: it always get stuck in the white screen (pda) and never leaves 0% (in computer screen). After some time a connection error is detected. Tried a lot of times without success.
Device is Prophet G4 branded as Qtek S200 and is running wm5 (installed after last update leave me in three-color boot screen).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

1. thanks for using my LazyTool,
2. tips for success in NVID or Flashing...
2.1 force bootloader (better tofor NVID),
2.2 stop all related connection services like My Mobiler, Mobile commander...... @ PC,
2.3 disable today plugins,
2.4 make a softreset or clear storage or a hardreset if needed,
2.5 check your usb cable and must use rear panel usb ports.....
3. Attention needed for flashing NVID,
3.1 it will stay @ 95% for a while, so please be patient,
3.2 NVID is a WM5 rom, you may immediate make a softreset before its autorun/config for time saving (you should be feeling quite hurry in ths stage ),
3.3 make an good activesync connections with NO data selected for sync,
Forn those "bullet-proof" Prophets (no change upon hardSPL, please use lazytool
SHOULD BE OK

I can flash NVID_RUU (windows mobile 5 "original") without problems.
I can't flash 6.5.1 23506 from bikertibi . Whenever I install using his tool it leaves me in three-color boot screen (after 100%, device restarts, three-color). If I try lazy tool it always gives me a connection error. PDA screen stays white, in the computer screen progress never leaves 0% and a connection error eventually appears. I've been trying for days now... :/
Any idea or suggestion?

1. find an XP PC.....,
2. force your prophet to bootloader mode,
3. flash NVID......
Good Luck
Do I really need to use a XP machine? Is there a way to fix it using my Vista machine?
I had tried on downloading a different device driver for my dopod, but its still the same.
But if I have to, I will try to look for an XP machine

Firmware is always flash up to 5% and then stops.(SOLVED)

There is a radar from UK. Sim-free. I decided to upgrade from 7720 to 7740 through the RUU, Windows 7, the process has started and reached 5%, then wrote the RUU error 226. On the Radar hangs 5%. After rebooting, Radar writes SPL version and bottom the factory reset. In the USB HOST mode does not go. Firmware is always up to 5% and then stops.
There are other ways to flash?
p.s. support htc offers to send the phone to a service center to England.
and this is called service??
upd 2012_06_13 I repair my Radar by Riffbox Jtag.
(ладно бы единичный случай, но я не первый с такой проблемой на радаре)
I have the same problem
Maybe if you turn off the battery, and disconnect the phone and then turn on, then he will enter the mode USB HOST. But this is only a hypothesis, but disassembled it is not so easy
Disassembly is easy, and I've already done the but there is nothing in ROM memory.
He Will enter into the USB HOST mode is not possible

Yes, Disassembly is easy
now charge battery from power supply unit
I do not know that you can try to disassemble the handset, but I'll try different combinations
and bad news again....
Any progress or solution here ? Mine is bricked now.
