Bricked or just battery dead? guru needed!! - G4

Hey everybody !!
It's not the first time i upgraded my G4... everytime I followed RISIDOROS step by step tutortial and it worked fine (didn't modify the ipl/spl) thnx for that by the way !!
Well but since i wasn't using crossbow I decided to upgrade again. This time I tried to use Farias step by step guide for upgrading G4's
I got to step 3 (Shelltool) the problem was that my device showed an error message that it couldn't open some exe file. and stopped. while the shelltool said the ROM was written fine!
so I didn't hard reset, I simply disconected the usb cable and conected it again and tried again, but Shelltool would stop responding!!
The o2 mini s .. still showed the first splash screen but got stuck there. IPL and SPL unmodified!
I thought the best way to repair the phone would be to simply put the O2 original Rom on again.
but It showed a conection problem. So i took out the battery and turned it on again... again i got stuck on the splash screen!!
When pressed the soft reset the device turned itself off but didn't start again .. so one more time I took out the battery and it turned back on and got stuck on the splash screen
so I took the battery out for the third time and tried everything to force bootloader.
camera + on button
voice + camera + soft reset
camera + soft reset
but nothing ... after taht the phone is simply dead
since the phone started 2 times I don't think it\s totally bricked, could it be that the battery is just to weak ?? It doesn't charge when I plug it via USB .. please HELP

Have you the Dockingstation? Use them to Charge it or use a other Lithium Polymere Charger. I think it isnt Bricked only a damage OS Partition. After Charging ... you must only reflash with your Provider Firmware and try again to Flash a other Rom.

For now I only have the PC usb cable...
Is there some way to connect the battery directly to a AC adaptor that produces 13 VOLTS ??

disasterous upgrade failure of XDA II

Hey guys and gals,
In desperate need of help. Tried to upgrade my himalaya with the Asia O2 XDA II WM 2003 SE Upgrade.
Upgrade was unsuccesful; upon turning on the XDA there are only two things on the screen; near the top, it says 'Serial", and near the bottom, "v 1.06".
The xda will not respond to hard resets nor soft resets. What can I do to recover from this disaster? When cradled, it will not connect via usb to activesync.
If this is not user servicable, does anyone know a good place in Melbourne, Australia to fix the himalaya?
Any help is appreciated!
When it's docked in the cradle, does SERIAL change to USB?
Try this:
Take out the memory card (if you have one) and the battery. Not sure why the memory card, but mine had problems with it in when I tried to upgrade.
Wait 30 mins or so for the battery backup to flatten/wipe everything (You loose everything on a ROM upgrade anyway)
then plug the battery back in and recradle it and simply try starting the flash again.
I've had similar problems, but this has always worked here and we have different devices, but I feel confident that the same solution may work.
had the same problem... my solution was docking it in the cradle (it does not show connected) and reinstall the ROM
Failed upgrade of XDAII
Hello I was in the process of updating my XDA rom and after 50% was copied to the device it dropped out.
Now when I power on the XDA it hangs on the O2 screen and my rom flash program cannot talk to it.
I have tried taking the battery out and leaving it for an hour but this has no effect.
Any ideas?
Installing rom from the SD card on boot
Is it possible to do this and if so how would I go about it?
If I cant get an OS on it its going to have to go away for repair for 3 weeks.
Also have you done a few upgrades on your XDA2 and on the same PC?
I had the same issue with my XDA2 as I was upgrading to 2003SE (before getting a 2i) and I could not get any further than the USB 1.01 screen.
I installed Activesync on a laptop, put the USB in and put my 2i in to complete the installation. Then, I put the 2 in and tried rerunning the upgrade...worked first time! I'd spent 6 hours on my PC trying to get it working.
Worth a try, certainly!
Cheers
Anthony

disastrous xda upgrade
try consulting dr. stein or toenailed or xda jojo and zeroxtreme. these are the tech guys in southeast asia. they're very good! :lol:
Have you tried rebooting into Bootloader mode (hold down D pad in centre position, then power button and soft reset - all at the same time), then trying to rerun the upgrade?

When you started the upgrade did all seem to go as planned? Did you have the power cable plugged in whilst upgrading? Did you notice any strange messages when it started to upgrade, and how far roughly did it get before you started having problems?
Also, what was the software version before you upgraded? Any ideas?
Cheers
Anthony
Hi Anthony: Everything seem to be going ok and then..
the screen went blank. I did have the AC plugged in during the attempted ROM conversion from Chinese to English and I tried rebooting into bootloader mode and nothing.
Do you think my 02 XDA2 can be fixed ?
Thanks
downgrade XDAII failure
Pals ,
I also facing the same problems , now my XDA II is blanked and only
Serial and V1.06 written ,
can anyone in this forum help ? please eeee ?
thanks
if the screen shows you something like serial1.something you're still okay. do a couple of hard resets; then put the unit back on the cradle. as expected activesync will not recognize the device BUT double click the upgrade file again.
this happened to me when i went to wm2003se; forgot to do a soft reset and proceeded with the upgrade. what i did was uncradled the unit, did a hard reset (screen still showed serial1.06), cradled her back (nothing happens here) then doubled clicked on the upgrade file. it proceeded accordingly until the entire process was completed.
dont' fret, as long as something's still showing on your screen you're still a-ok.
Thanks Robs..
I will try...
Yeah, after hard-resetting the unit, it seems that it did not reset because the serial/usb letters & v1.07 at the bottom of the screen is still there. But if you drain the battery, then put it back in the cradle & restart the ROM upgrade, it will work. At least it did for me.
As I've also said but seems to have been ignored, try running the upgrade on a different PC...you may be surprised!
Cheers
Ant
thanks Anton ...
I tried so many times in my pc until the sync wont work anymore , so i tried to do at my laptop ... still same .... should i change to another pc again ? pls advice , thanks man.

Hi, did you manage to downgrade to WM2003? Was your bootloader version 1.06? I had problem in downgrading from WM2003SE. Hope to hear from you. thanks.

STUCK in BOOTLOADER screen

I had a problem with the power button not working and I was adviced to reflash the original ROM (I never did a ROM upgrade) so I picked the original and latest Cingular ROM. Flashing strated and then hung for a while @ 80% progress, few minutes after continued up to 95% progress and at that point I got ERROR 326 message (INVALID COMMAND) stating that the NBF file couldn´t be used for this phone. I dissconnected the phone and did a soft reset and what I got was the BOOTLOAD SCREEN and since then I can not make the phone exit from it. Later I tried flashing RUU_RIsidoro_2.26.10.2_WWE+CF2SP1_G4, this time it went all the way to 100% progress and the congratulations screen, I made a soft reset (the only way I know to exit the bootload mode) and I got momentarly the HTC innovation screen and right away dissapeared to enter in bootload screen again.
Then I reflash ROM with RUU_Qtek_9100_AKU2_21878_024711_ESN_G4, this time it went all the way up to 100% and success screen appeared, the phone rebooted and is up and running although with inoperant power button.
Since you've successfully reflashed your phone and the power button isn't still working have you considered a hardware fault?
Look for some info/pics on how to disassemble your wizard to verify if the button is well soldered to the board

Luiggi, pls tell me how to flash the phone while in the bootloader screen?!?
There's no secret to flash while in bootloader screen. Use the RUU file. It might take a little while longer to detect the phone but goes all the way to the end
Yes, it has to be a hardware issue

I´ll try the disassembly and perhaps is not a big deal to fix it, I got a copy of the service manual posted in some of the forums, and I´ll give it a try.
Thanks for the advice!
You just do it!

Try first a soft reset while in the BL screen, if doesn´t react then do what I did:
I just plugged the USB cable and run the RUU!! As simple as that and as risky as the ROM you select not being the right one.

s200 G4 out after upagrade to wm6

Hi everybody,
i've got a big problem with my s200 G4.
when i flash it ti wm6, it work about 1 day, and after it freeze.
since, i can't turn on it. When i plug the power supply, no LED :/
I try the battery on an other S200 (i've got 3 ) and the battery is ok.
Anyone got the diagram of the motherboard ?
Other idea ?
Hello
I have the same problem
Do you found the solution ?
lot of people have the same problem
Hi,
After open my S200, i think this is a capa out :/
Lot of people after upgrading the s200 have got the same problem. Freeze , reboot..freeze ....and never work again
Have you got a red led ? orange ?
charging ok ?
i had the same probleme
the solution is to remove the battery for 24 hour after plug it in the usb with ur computer until the charger leed appear
after change the rom to a wm5 rom and it will work perfectly.
i think the reason of this probleme is the ipl version must be 2.20 beafore upgrade to wm6
tried and failed :/
Hi,
I test your technic, but doesn't work. Now, when i plug the charger, i've got the red led 1 second, and ....nothing. it doesn't won't to switch on
i try the trick with the pins...but doesn't work
tried and failed :/

Hi,
Same problem, when I put the charger in I got one sec red led. But I can hard reset or enter bootloader, when on the charger, but there is no way to put USB when the charger is in. Which pins are + and - battery?
If any Prophet can enter bootloader, it can be recovered. See the wiki for a how to.
prophet with white screen and red led
hi everybody.
After trying again and again the pin trick, the s200 went to a blank screen, white with the red led.
I wish it reboot again...
if you got any idea to enter bootloader when i've got white screen ....
Can it enter bootloader? Hold down the camera button and soft reset.
the same problem
i have G4 with ipl and spl 2.20 and on switching on it freeses with white screen. it goes to bootloader, but except WWE ship 220 update others can't be loaded.
Sometimes it goes to screen "Windows mobile", but then freeses.
Is any solutions? Thanks

Try to enter bootloader (soft reset and camera button), it doesn't matter if it shows nothing, disable activesync connect through USB, and try to flash a WM5 ROM.
Ok, i'm trying it this evening...
But when i plug the s200 on my PC, nothing show the phone is connected (USB mode on winXP or on the tel )
Well...i tell if your tips work tomorrow =)
The point of this technique is to reduce the number of points it could fail, and remove the requirement for the previous ROM to work. The RUU for shipped ROMs can establish a connection without activesync.
Well ...
But i forget to say ...the s200 can't power on when it's plug on USB...it power only with the charger
With USB, no LED, no screen ....
Have you got a tips to connect the phone with charger+USB cable ?

Please do the following with a fully charged battery and not USB or charger connected :
toutch the battery contacts fast several times (it creates a small sparkle that you may not see) then press the start button. That should do the trick

To Upgrade samsung i780
Hi i want samsung i780 firmware OS and it's procedure.

[Q] Battery Issue

Hey, This is my first post so hopefully i didnt pick the wrong section to write in
So here it is.. A while ago my phone started acting crazy.. voice command started up.. turned off, started up again.. MTP started ( like i was plugging in USB cable) on and off and on and off again.. This was after i had rooted my phone for the first time.. but i was on stock rom at that point when all happend..
Now when im trying to charge my phone it takes like 30-60 sec till it starts charging.. same when i unplug the phone, takes 30-60 seconds for the phone to realise that there is no cable connected to the phone..
Can't turn off the phone.. when i turn it off its black for a few seconds then the samsung logo pops up and the phone boots up again.. and some times when i turn off the phone the battery logo appears and it shows that the battery is over heated..
This is what i have tryed:
- Re flashing, alot of diffrent roms
- Factory reset
- Format System, sd card, data
- Flash back to stock rom
Thx / Wrix
I remember seeing this issue in a few threads last year. Check this thread out as it lokos to be the same issues they were having http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174291&page=6
It seems some had to return their device and others were able to get it working again by cleaning out the micro usb port with a toothbrush. Worth trying. If nothing works, maybe you will have to return it. Hopefully not though
Thx alot.. Will take a look at the link you posted and see if there is something i can do to fix this issue.. hopefully i wont have to send it in to repair cuz i have rooted it.. dunno if samsung can see that if i use USB Jig ? hopefully not but will try with toothbrush to see if it works!
Again thx alot for the advices
EDIT: Toothbrush didnt work at all ;(
/Wrix
Just make sure you reset the counter and you should be fin returning it.
Your device should still be under warranty. I'd wipe, flash the stock ROM that you had on it when you bought it and use the jig if you have one. Then see about getting it returned. Good luck!
