Please help me. I recently upgraded to the Black satin rom and everything was fine. However the touchscreen on my M3100 has started to go haywire.
After being on for about 5 minutes the touchscreen doesn't work. It seems like the top right hand corner is faulty as the close button keeps being pressed again and again. I think it is probably the phone that is faulty rather than the ROM.
Anyway I need to revert back to the original Orange ROM (WM5) so I can send it back to orange. I've only had the phone about 3 weeks so its still under warranty.
I tried to load the ROM off the orange business website but it errors when trying to load the rom on. I assume I need to downgrade the bootloader thingy.
Any help much appreciated!

Look for "downgrade guides"
I'm in a similar boat mdavix!
I've just tried flashing an original T-Mobile WM5 ROM using MrVanx's guide but it doesn't progress beyond the bootloader page. Instead the update times-out and gives Error 260 - "Cannot connect to PDA"
Getting late (that's when Bad Mistakes Happen lol!) so will come back to it at the w/e I hope. Let us know if you have any luck!

interestingly, I put black satin on my new M3100, and the screen started going. So I put it back to the latest Orange release (from the website) 2.11.61.1, but it was still screwy. Sent it back to Orange, and got a different recodnitioned phone back. They said the ROM was the issue, and the one they gave me had 2.11.61.3 on it. This version is not available for download... has anyone else seen it?
Do orange know what is happening to the screens? Is something getting burnt out? does 2.11.61.3 have a fix?
Well... I'm too scared to put WM6 back on, now, although I really want to. I at least want to wait till I can get hold of the update for 2.11.61.3, and even then, I'm not sure.
I have looked at the downgrade guide but don't really fancy the re-compiling the nbh business.
The strange thing is that if I take the battery out for a couple of minutes, then replace and boot up, the screen works for a while!
Is it worth trying a different rom?

No, it's a hardware problem, I assure you.
Ok, thanks vp3G.
So I still need to get back to WM5.
I'll have to give mrvanx's downgrade guide a go!
Is this still current? Is this the correct one to try?
I carried out the steps in the downgrade guide and attempted to flash the resultant rom onto my M3100. It started to update got to 1% and failed with a transfer error!
Now when I turn the phone on it just comes up with the three colour screen!
Have a broke it forever? The screen reads:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Please help!
Phew! Panic over, I've managed to get the Black Satin rom back onto my phone.
I'm stuck at the screen alignment screen again but at least its got an OS on now!
I still need to load WM5 on tho. I think I'll try re-doing the downgrade guide and see if that helps.
I'm looking at duttys nbh tool and notice that the device id is HERM200. My phone is an M3100 so a HERM100. I'm going to change the value to be HERM 100 and re-compile. Hopefully that was the problem last time!

I have only had my XdaII for a month, but last week it locked up and upon a soft reset it took 5 minutes to get past the O2 screen, then there was no responce to any screen taps, i decided to do a full reset, once rebooted still no response to screen taps, so i couldnt calibrate the screen or go any further, i connected the xda to activesync this still worked fine and was responding normally. I then decided to reload the rom from myxda.com, biggest mistake as it crashed halfway through now it just says Serial v1.06 or USB v1.06 if its in the cradle, now before i get bashed for just asking this question the same as a lot of other people have, i have spent the last 4 days go over this site trying anything that relates to getting any image back onto my xda, nothing has worked i have tried any nbf or nb1 image i can find on here with orginal or modified himaupgradeut.exe same response every time error 100: incorrect device type, i have tried any image i get can get onto an SD card, they either dont boot or wont allow upload, so my question is i have seen several people on here ask about bring v1.06 back from the dead but so far noone has had any instructions on how to this when a normal boot isnt possible.
I don't know if this is any help,but I had something similar.
I concluded that the rom on xda2 was newer than one being upgraded? with,so it says it won't work.I sent mine back to o2,but think that rom 172 or something, might be accepted.People say that you leave it 30 mins before it starts to upgrade.
There is a problem with bootloader v1.06 in that it will not allow 'downgrades'. It seems to have appeared on devices around the same time that ROM versions 1.72 appeared. I have read that it will allow installation of version 1.66 but nothing less than that (and that may apply only to T-Mobile). However, you should be able to install a version 1.72 ROM without to much problem.
My help
You can make the unit work again by downloading the rom version:
1. Ensure that the main battery has enough charge to make the unit in bootloading mode.
2. Execute the bootloading mode and connect the unit to the docking station(cradle), you will see the "Serial" in the upper portion of the screen will switch to "USB" this is an indication that there's a connection established between the pocket pc and your pc.
3. Then download the latest Rom version(1.72 is a better choice).
Thanks dcs and Juni
The 1.72 rom did get it going again .... but i still have no response on the screen so im guessing ill have to return it.
Does anyone know where i can get the 1.66WWE rom from as im assuming returning it with 1.72 rom on it may be frowned upon, and a voided warrany.
Thanks agian guys for your help

My touch screen suddenly stopped working, anyone had this happen to them? As far as I know I didn't do anything to provoke this i.e drop it or make any software changes. I tried a hard reset and still no luck.. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks
Seeps
if it ujust stopped working and you have done a hard rest (formated teh device and reinstalled ) and its still the same then id say most likely faulty(which you probley already guessd)
if you got it as an account upgrade get in touch with ur network service provider and get them to replace the device if you bought it from a 3rd party try to return it if you can, if you are unable get in touch with HTC all the best
nass
Thanks
Yea I tried hard reset and all that, you're right my guess was that its faulty. So I'll be paying cingular a visit tomorrow. I just finished flashing the cingular splash screens back to the device and original os back to the device with the mtty program, luckily I figured all that out because otherwise I couldn't get past the sceen alignment stage to do a regular rom update.
Seeps
The best way to clear any "funny" status on the hardware is to give it a "Russian Reset": power off the phone and then on again. If that doesn't solve your problem then take it in for repairing.
(Russian Reset is a term I heard many moons ago from a Finnish DEC SW engineer regarding PC hangs that would not clear with Ctrl+Alt+Delete but could only be solved by switching off and on.)
Through the turnstyle
Well since my 8525 is 1 month and two weeks I have to send it into cingular's warranty department. The one thing I am concerned about is that I want to make it appear that it had never been modified again. Unfortunately I am not able to do a regular rom update because I can't get the thing past the setup stage because it requires me to tap the screen and do the screen alignment to continue, and thus it won't let me make an active sync connection to do the rom update. I was able to use mtty to get the OS, EXT ROM and splash screens back to original, and I was able to get it back to bootloader 1.04 (Is this the stock bootloader for the 8525?), but I haven't figured out how to downgrade the radio yet. Any suggestions? I think I have radio version 1.27 right now, if anyone knows what the stock radio version is for the 8525 let me know. I want to get this thing back to normal so when I send it in through warranty they don't tell me I am out of luck..
Thanks
Seeps
Put device in bootloader mode and flash the stock rom (cingular 1.34). You don't need activesync at all.
Thanks
That worked. Now I can rest a little easier sending it back.
Trying to downgrade with mtty
when i run mtty i cant see a usb option how do I get it to see one??? the mtty ver i have 1.6 but i reaaly need a hand cause i have the same issue with the dead screen
Hey everyone,
i am so upset and lost; words cannot describe it.
So i installed WM6 black shadow and everything was working except for SMS and MMS. So i am like ok i can live with that for a day till custel' rom will come out. SO i decided to upgrade the radio to 1.43 and boom here is where the problem started, No GSM on boot up. Phone doesn't boot up. I tried install 1.40 over again, still nothing. No i tried upgrade the the rom itself, i tired custel 2.5 and nothing and i tried the new Cingular rom, still same problem. the roms flash all the way. I read the wiki, and saw the mtty.exe thing but that doesn't work for me either. I am really lost and don't know what to do.
Specs
cingular 8525
hardspl v7 cid and sim unlocked.
PLEASE HELP
4.13?? 4.10??
Where did you download these radios from??
or do you mean 1.41 or 1.43??
Yeah thats what i meant, 1.40 and 1.43 sorry. You can see how upset i am.
Thanks Again
Well, if your phone turnes on .. it's not a brick.. lol .. it IS fixable... When you turn the phone on does it go RIGHT to the 3 colored screen?
@dan5.5
You need to read the unbricking thread about this, all the info you need is there.

If you are superCID I don't see how flashing a radio could have messed up your phone.. that's weird.

I read everything there and nothing seems to be working for me. I woudnt post for nothing. i dont want to be annoying.
OK im going to repost what ive said on 4wm:
We need to check if your Radio BL is functional, firstly leave HardSPL v7 on there and connect to the bootloader via mtty (il assume you know how to do this).
Issue the following commands and tell us the results please:
1) checkimage (this shows the CRC checksums of each component...id expect the radio image to show a timeout....
2) info 2 (This will verify that your CID is intact)
3) info 8 (does a bad block check)
Once youve done this, flash SPL 1.10.oli to the device and once again connect up to mtty.
4) 'rtask a' this will enter the radio bootloader you will see "Enter Radio Bootloader" or something to that effect
from now on when you type the text does NOT appear on the mtty screen.
5) 'rversion' this should return your radio bootloader version...now unfortunatly if you see nothing...you radio BL is dead and sorry your device is royally bricked. If you get something returned back onto the screen (most probably containing the text '0108') then your radio BL is fine.

do as instructed in that text, post your results here.
I cant falsh spl 1.10 oli. it gives me the 260 error.
the 260 error is not connected via USB right? .. weird... have you tried taking your battery out for a couple minutes, then booting into BL mode? sounds weird but this worked for me when I didnt flash hardSPL firsl..
hey mrvanx's
I can't downgrade the hardspl to 1.10, anyhelp.
I cant active sync, the phone doesnt boot up.
Is there anyway to aviod having to respond on the phone.
hey,
i can get the phone to boot up into windows and then it freezes within a couple min. what should i do. Still no gsm message and no phone. thanks
Dan
OK, so let's try and get you to a working state - I've bricked mine a couple of times and it can be quite heart-stopping, eh?
The first thing I would do is re-download radio 1.43, just incase your current one is damaged somehow.
Secondly, download Black Shadow - I know it's not the ROM you ultimately want but the aim here is to get you working again and we can move forward from there.
First, boot up into BootLoader mode (hold down the OK button on the left side of the phone and the power button and then press the reset button on the bottom, just in case you didn't know
You should come to the three colour screen and it should be reading IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.10.Olipro. If it isn't, stop here and post what it does say.
If it everything is OK at this point, when you plug your phone into your computer, it should change to USB at the bottom. Just wait for the Found New Hardware prompts to clear on your PC and then flash the black rom - choose the hardspl option in the flash program.
Once that has finished and it is at the "tap screen to set up windows..." bit, put it back into bootloader mode as above and flash the radio.
This should hopefully give you a running phone again as I know this combination works OK as I am currently using it.
Fingers crossed, don't panic, and let us know what the results are
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Nothing is working, can some please help me. Is there anyt way i can restore the spl to the original one so i can send the phone back, i just got it like 2 weeks ago. thanks
Also i have a bad block thats what i think makes the phone freeze after i boot it up.
How can i get around this, thats seems to be the biggest problem.
Hey everyone, let me give you more info.
I can fully flash any rom and and radio,
phone will boot up like 1 out of 10 times and then freezes and thats it.
i have a bad block number 6. I have hard spl v7 installed before the phone got screwed up. I cant downgrader the spl to a lower one to check if radio stack is screwed up. Can someone please help me, if you need to ask me more info feel free.
Help
I've gone through the steps on http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=27
to downgrade from WM6 to the official Voda wm5 release (as i need to send it back for repair, dont want them making any excuse not to do it)
but now all the phone does it do the voda spash screen, then the "windows mobile" blue splash screen and hangs there.
any ideas?
i've put the unit in to bootloader and reflashed but hasnt helped any.
also using 2.10.olipro
just to add i just tried to upgrade it back to schnaps wm6 rom and even though it worked it still says vodafone on the splash screen, so dont know think it worked.
dont all rush at once.
managed to sort it in the end if anyone cares

Thanks in advance
First of all, its not bricked. Bricked = doesn't turn on, nothing, blank screen.
I've looked to your info, you already have HardSPL, so you can flash directly using any RUU, don't use shelltools!
Enter bootloader (hold camera+reset), open up the RUU of the ROM you want (make sure it doesn't have any IPL/SPL) and flash away
well I looked all day what to do and I can not find solution
I just can not understand how to flash the phone
I found one solution via some kind of Wizard_love, but again I do not know what to do
Please help i am haveing the same thing just did it today i have the Cingular 8125....i have held camera+reset and got into these Red,Green,Blue,white screen and it says IPL 2.25 and SPL 2.25 now when i run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID it does not work i have my usb pluged in and my phone says USB please help

You guys wanna see bricked? I have a BRICKED! phone... My MDA was the unfortunate victim of a car accident. When my car went carreening off the road, my MDA went flying through the air and ended up on the floor of the car but not before hitting virtually every surface on the inside of the car.
Now my charge port is completely snapped off and my battery shorted out when I was trying to hold the charge port in place to charge it and fried the main board. DEAD. NO MORE.
THAT MY FRIENDS, IS BRICKED....
No worries though, I already ordered a TyTN II

Ok, i have read everywhere and can't help myself, so if someone would be kind enough to help it would be much appreciated
Ok, Used SoftSPL and tried flashing the ROM. It manages to get to 99% and then just goes RED. I have tried 3 different ROMS and same story it goes RED at 99%.
When i remove the battery, it goes to the RUU Red, Green and Blue screen. SPL version is 2.16.0001. Not Oli's new one.
What do i do from now?

Soft SPL only allows you ONE update, so phone is CID unlocked only when Soft SPL is loaded.
It's normal for the RUU to stick on 99 % for a couple of minutes, The whole update will take aprox 10 minutes.
You can try the hard SPL from there you are semi-permanently CID unlocked.
Good luck,
