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:

So many people have their XDA II gone dead while upgrading to the second edition rom. What went wrong during the process ?

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 ?
Bum pp
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
J.
No luck tonight, I'll keep trying tomorrow gtg to sleep now.
cheers,

damm*t still nothing
I've been tryin' all day, and I'm unable to enter bootloader mode
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
my USB cord disconnected during a rom upgrade, and I can't get back to the recovery screen on the computer. My phone is currently in the 4 color mode (red, green, blue, white), how can I get it out of that to continue my rom upgrade or start over?
att 8525
Mine did that a couple times, I just started the process over again and my phone is working great
but doesn't the ruuupdater.exe have to verify that activesync is running so it can connect to the phone? the phone won't even load now, just goes to the multi colored screen.
I've also tried restarting the update program for both the 1.50 rom and the wm6 and both cannot connect to the device, because it is stuck at the multi-colored screen (which currently says "usb" since I have it connected to the usb)
Have you try a soft reset? That usually works for me.
how do i do a soft reset if I can't perform any functionality on the phone? not a smart remark, I just can't perform any actions on the phone, doesn't even boot up, like i said, only the red, green, blue and white screen appears when i turn the phone on.
thanks for your help guys.

Get your stylus and poke the little hole next to the IR near the usb port. Check your manual if you can't locate it.
I understand where that is located though, when I click it, it brings me back to the multi-colored screen.
First of all do you have HardSPL installed? If yes there are no problems...just run the upgrade again and choose the SPL version you have (and not the SSPL, cause it hasnt`t worked for me!) and go ahead...it will work!...at work I have a bad USB cable and in last week have failed to upgrade about 3 times...every time can resume from the begining withouth problems...
Regards,
Primoz
Primoz, that was the info I was looking for, thank you so much. I received an error saying the image file was corrupt but I will continue working on it.
Now I'm having an issue when wm6 loads (still have not repaired the ROM update yet), it hangs at the Windows Mobile 6 screen and does not go to the today screen, any ideas?
Hi guys
Hoping someone here can help me
I have a Qtek 9100 G4 that currently has IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.0lip with Slim Diamond WM6.1 Rom
This was running beautifully until i left the phone for a weekend plugged into the wall charger.
When i came back now whenever i switch on the phone it shows the Diamond splash screen, doesnt show the ipl or spl and just stays there indefinately.
I allowed the phone battery to drain for a week and when i turned it on it booted normally again, got to the main wm 6.1 screen, it automatically customised the rom and then rebooted. Then im back at stage one again! I can repeat this by leaving the phone with no battery to drain the internal one. Hard reset works so say but doesnt have any effect.
I have tried different techniques to reflash the phone but no matter which guide i follow the usb is never ever recognised as connected. All RUU say is error 260. Even Wizard Love is no go. I have tried the disabling usb connections and disabling the correct services, can happily get into bootloader mode but can do no more - says usb in corner but computer never registers anything attached
My only idea is that somehow leaving it plugged in has fried the usb - its weird tho as it still charges fine with computer or wall charger.
Im getting near to giving up with this phone now as no matter how many guides i follow none ever get anywhere with this phone
Has anyone had anything similar happen?
I have flashed the latest HTC update with Windows mobile 6.1 onto my T-mobile MDA touch plus. But I have a problem and I don't know if this is about the firmware, the phone or the battery.
I bought this phone recently (secondhand) and actually flashed this update directly, so I don't have experience with the phone how it came.
Right now, the battery doesn't last for a day without actually using it (even without a simcard inserted). It is clean of software, only flashed the firmware and that's all.
After a day, when battery is empty, the device won't turn on with the charger connected. Even when I keep the charger connected for a whole day. Then I try some things like unplugging the charger, remove/insert the battery, press reset button, connect/disconnect usb and it eventually turns on (I don't know what the real trick is). Battery is empty then, so it didn't charge at all...
Current firmware is Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1 with its default radio (1.65.28.25). Camera works.
Does this have to do with the software, hardware or do I have a 'almost-dead' battery?
I also like to try to flash the stock firmware, but it won't flash when I have run the sspl 1.16.jump executable on my mda. Or can I just flash the phone with the new stock 1.22 spl ?(fixed)
you need hardspl first ... try again!
I did try that preciously, but the problem was that the 1.16.jump executable booted up the bootflash menu without showing usb. But I did a second try now, and it worked
I am now running the default t-mobile firmware (but I don't get a t-mobile bootscreen.. so it's not a real shipped rom I think).
Battery is 95% now, let's see how long it takes to get empty again...
Battery is empty now, so this had nothing to do with the firmware.
I try to charge the mda with a different charger, because the one that I had was an aftermarket type.
I have another question. When I charge the phone, should the orange light in the speaker turn on? It stays off here...
When in charging mode, via charger or USB cable, the light will be orange, turning yellow once fully charged.

That doesn't happen.. It charges, but it doesn't show any light
Is there a way to check the battery instead of buying a new one ?
I have bought a new battery, but the problem persists
The last thing I want to try is flashing another or original radio. I have read that battery drain can be the result of having the wrong radio version. I hope this is the case.
My device is a niki200 and it is currently running Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1 with its default radio (1.65.28.25).
I'm unsure if a niki200 device needs a different radio than niki100's. Therefore I like to get a original T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus rom (Dutch/NLD) or a radio that is 100% compatible with the phone. Which radio do I need? And where can I get an original T-Mobile rom, or do I have to request it?
I hope the problem is in the radio, otherwise the hardware itself is faulty
Problem is fixed. It was a hardware issue. The keyboard lights and gsm/charge status leds didn't work at all. Only when I moved the display housing a little bit, I sometimes got these lights working. I have disassembled the phone, reconnected everything.. and it all works fine again . Battery is 95% after 16 hours standby! I'm happy again!
all nike can use the same radios ... only japan nikes use different radios!
I want to say thanks to tuti fruiti, I had the same problem with my touch dual, followed instructions as give, and everything is fine now.
Cheers
