Sorry, newbie question, but before I have to use my MDA Vario 2 as a door stop, does anyone know if it is possible to get out of the Multi Coloured Screen ? our office had a power cut while I was updating from WM5 to WM6 and now it is stuck on the following screen:
HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.40.Olipro
USB or Serial (Depending if I have the usb cable connected)
Obviously I cant connect to the phone as it is not booting and Active Sync is not connecting so I can upgrade.
Am I buggered like a cat in battersea dogs home ?
OK, false Alarm, was able to recover using a hard re-set + power on button and then load the original SPL loader ! phew ! RTFM me thinks !
U lucky bastard
Ha wow best case scenario from a worst case scenario.
That would piss me off if a brick wasn't my fault haha.
Tell me about it I was, how can you say "*hitting bricks", but it's all working now. I feel so like a virgin, I firstly purchased a ROM off Ebay and then when that didn't work I had a search on the web and found this great site Now to find out more about custom apps !

<laughs> Agreed.
Glad everything worked out. Good luck!
I spoke way too soon, Everything was perfect and then half a hour ago I changed a setting in the advance configuration section about ext ROM, took a telephone call and then re-started the phone..................now it just hangs at the WM6 splash screen !

Hi, I need to downgrade from WM2005 to be able to use my Tomtom Navigator on holiday in Spain but it just won't let me!
I've entered the bootloader screen and then run the wm2003upgrade app but after about 30 seconds the device switches off. I've tried everything i can think of but am hoping that you experts out there may be able to help.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
thanks, coj
Press "Power Button" + "Reset Button" to go to bootloader screen then try to reflash it again...
still no joy!
thanks but i have tried that (about 5 times)!
you can try this
do a hard reset win2005 version then go to the start screen and format your storage on the menu
befoure the xda completly boots press to bootloader mode and reflash.
also remove any suspend power befoure hard reseting the device maybe some setting gets stored somehow
this as worked for me the first time i downgraded
and even after i reflash some settings like owner name was allready there so i did format the storage then downgraded.
nope!
thanks for the tip, but again it just turns off. no suspend settings are set.
try restart your computer.
Is your battery fully charged !
Try flashing back to the original 1.66 wm2003 rom, thats what i had to do, then up to 2003se then back to wm2005.....
Just my 2 cents
Are you using the power supply also?
:?
thanks but still nowt
thanks for your help, but it still just switches off (leading to a country id error)...i'm going insane!! :shock:
Have you done the WM2005 hard reset? This is power + record + camera + reset hole for 5 seconds.
Once that's done and you use the record & camera buttons to select yes on format all the options, reset it again and put into bootloader by power + center d-pad + reset.
Make sure there is power to the device though while you do this, obviously any settings for power off make no difference in the bootloader.
Then you should be able to flash anything you like.
I have been between WM2003se and WM2005 3 times so far, and before that between 3 other ROM images frequently.
nope! now stuck in bootloader!
still no joy. tried that but now i'm stuck in the bootloader. it still switches off, but now i can't hard reset, it just stays in the bootloader saying 'serial' when i disconnect it from the docking station. i've even tried leaving the battery out for half an hour but nothing. think its well and truly dead...sniff
ahhhh, I have seen that once before, is this plugged directly into a USB port on the PC or is it going through a hub?
Best results are always directly into the PC's USB controller.
i'm losing the will to live...
its plugged into the pc directly, it has AC power connected, i've tried it on a newly formatted laptop in addition to the PC.
thanks for your suggestions, guys, i do appreciate it. i'm also starting to see the funny side of it...that little machine just doesn't want to play ball... :shock:
One last suggestion then, try with a different USB cable/cradle possibly? Could have a faulty plug that's got a slightly dodgy connection or something.
Re: nope! now stuck in bootloader!

I don't think so cojones... If you're still able to get in the BootLoader, chances are you can re-flash it again... :wink:
Just be patient and keep trying.
You mentioned Country ID Error... Maybe you will have to edit the ROM in order to reflash...
Good luck,
Rayan
the rain in spain...
well i'm in spain now and have just done a 600km round trip using a paper map...whats that all about? would've been 500km with Tomtom :wink:
i've left my xda II at home to discharge, hope i can get it going when i return! thanks for all of your suggestions.
alas no
after 5 days draining the backup battery the situation remains the same...my xda is dead. looks like there is no hope.
hello cojones
are you sure you are using the right version off the software? because you get a country id error! Also when i upgrade or downgrade a rom, the screen show nothing when erasing the rom, so it appears to be off, but in fact after 1 or 2 minutes it shows being updated.
My mainpoint first: are you using the countryid unlocked version for updating your device?
Try to use this one instead...
This does not validate country.
Good Luck!
thanks for these tips, on running the upgrade above it immediately shows error 103: ROM image not found and suggests that i download the correct rom update to my pocket pc and try again. I don't fully understand what this is asking me to do!
help me, my xda wont display anything on it's screen even the wallaby wont appear though it's power is on.What might be the cause of the problem?
thanks in advance...
what happened with it? did you drop it? installed an app, went swimming, etc? have you done a hard reset already?
sunny side up...
fried xda
I just upgraded it to from xda special rom 1.2 to ppc2003, then the upgrade didn't complete because of some conflict on the process so I did a hard reset and presto the bootloader keep on appearing and doesn't boot on the OS, then after that I made a soft reset, after that the even the wallaby didn't appear anymore...is it already dead?or can I still reprogram the wallaby?plss helllp.
a million thanks....
cant you make it enter the bootloader ?
fried xda
I can't enter the bootloader
you may need to do a couple of hard resets. i don't think your unit is fried; just got stuck while going through the upgrade. a lot of chaps had to do a bunch of hard resets until the unit brings itself back to bootloader...this was for both xda1 and 2 i believe...just keep on hard reseting the unit. it should go back to bootloader eventually.
once that's done cradle back the unit and rerun the upgrade. oh btw; when you recradle don't expect activesync to show any indication that it's working or recognizes your device. just cradle it back and click on your upgrade file. with luck it should go through.
good luck
tnx a lot, but how can I know if my unit is already fried?
a zillion tnx
as long as the unit shows some signs of life it's still ok. when i upgraded to 2003se my unit got stuck w/the screen saying serial 1.something. only after like 2 hard resets did it go back to bootloader. in your case it should still be fine. if all else fails...well maybe it IS fried and it's an excuse to upgrade the unit itself

I forgot to tell that my son accidentally removed the Memory card while I'm flashing, would that fried the unit?
i installed the XDA Windows mobile 6 about 3-4 months ago on my SPV M3100,
everything worked fine untill just lately it started displaying just a plain white screen, not bricked because if i rapped on the power button a few times it would display everything normally?
problem is it has started doing it more and more often untill lately it decided to completely go white - i found out the phone still works just a blank screen? also some of the mounted buttons stopped working at times and would work othertimes?
ive fully charged it, turned it on and plugged it into my pc but im not sure what to do?
is it something to do with XDA, maybe some kind of virus or should i literally re-install the orange windows mobile 5 and send it back?
any help would be great! - im in a bit of a pickle here
thanks -Edd
wm6 spv m3100 white screen
hi there
if anyone is following this thread, i too upgraded first to 4.01 as good as gold, then to 4.30, Schaps ROM's. all fine but then the white screens started in 4.3, in the end about 10-14 days i had to remove the battery to boot the unit, and only thrn with PSU/USB plugged in, so power issue?
anyway i pushed thorugh to 4.31 alls currently well, keep you posted
cheers in all others senses great work all round
cheers pete
Yep, I've got this issue with my HTC Hermes but it only manifested itself after the upgrade to WM6?!
Can you ALL please tell us what bootloader you are running?
I followed the online instructions for getting Schaps WM6 ROM on board for my SPV. I shall dig them out.

Hi Folks
My Hermes/Tytn is an Orange M3100. Recently it has begun dropping calls, or rather, ignoring them. The caller could hear a ringing tone but the phone wouldn't switch on, show me an incomming call or anything. A short while later, usually after I'd switched it on (I mean, the screen, "off" is that it's on standby) I'd get the notification of a missed call. More often than not it would come through after I had made a call.
This reached a "point" on the weekend where I missed about 17 calls from the Agency to get work for me as I was the only one available
So. I upgraded as reccomended on here. Up to HardSPL 2.10, Radio version 1.41 and then upgraded to Schaps 4.22 WM6 Rom.
Now, I made sure that ActiveSync has connected and synchronised, and all my contacts and PIM info is in Outlook. However, A/S won't transmit the information to the PDA, even though it tells me it's synchronising.
The only way I have managed to get my PIM data/address book back onto the PDA was by running a custom SPB backup file to restore the calender, sms and phonebook.
This is where the fun starts. My PIM and Tasks then go "read only" merely by having a warning telling me I have no memory and to go and close other programs down. But there isn't anything else running!
Fine. Right. Ok. Obviously I've done something wrong. I did a hard reset this evening. It wiped all the data internally and reset it. I changed the details to match the username that was already stored in A/S and plugged it in.
It tells me "Connecting" and the green thing swirls around but doesn't actually do anything.
I have heard mention of the MTTY software, so I've got that here. But it won't allow me to connect on USB, only Com1, 2 or 3.
So I've a pretty useless phone at the moment. It's got none of my files on there, the satnav is rendered useless merely because I can't install the sod and all the other problems to go with it.
Short of screaming abuse at it and throwing it across the room I'm a bit stuffed. And I can't spend anymore time on it as I've got to be getting up for work at 4am (only finished tonight at 8pm ) for another full day
I've read the wiki, I've gone through the pages and pages and, er, pages of posts but I'm hitting a brick wall somewhere. I'm not as bright as you guys, but I get by.
TIA. Elwyn

The device is no longer worthwhile for me and have spoken to Mike Channon over it. If you can change that or help me change it I would be grateful
Mikechannon is the main man when it comes to the hardware side of things, if it was an early bootloader issue (related to bad NAND blocks) then thats what i was questioning your SPL version about.
If mike is confident it is the hardware problem then id take his word for it, the guy rocks
/me has to get his mikechannon ass kissing back into shape again hehe.

Not entirely sure what it is yet. If WM6 wrote to the 'wrong' part of the memory, would reflashing back to WM5 fix this?! Is there a way of repairing NAND issues?
MrVanx, I looked in the original thread that I posted in about this issue and followed you're link. Not sure whether I did or didn't at the time, but I can see there are instructions for downgrading the ROM from 6 to 5. However I am now in the situation that I can't use the USB cable as it causes it to white screen, but probably could if I did it via memory card....
white screen continued
hi there
sorry about lack of info i installed olipro 1.4 as per the instructions at the wiki i think. mine doesnt boot white, it turns white/fades to white when in use, or more commoinly i will press off after use, then later turn the unit on, and it will come white. first few times it si normal after 2nd on/off, then it stops completly requiring a hard boot, then that stops and it requires a battery off, then that stops. however it always seems to repsond when power connected, even if 100% charged or just off.
it feels to me like a power issue, still there in 4.31, wasnt there in 4.01, going back now to see if its hardware.
i will give as much info as you guys need, i got my phone from orange in may 2007
pete
white screen update
hello again
still on 4.31 activesync isnt playing at teh moment but anyway.
on the screen thing, if i leave the unit standby itself and then power back on it seems fine, so far 3 hours of good, no white screens.
thanks pete
hi there i face this problem with my imate jasjam sorry to tell you that but this problem is a hardware problem you be confirm that it hardware by push by your 2 fingers below the screen and above the keys like you catch"hold" something bush the power key again the white screen will be disappear .sorry if you don't understand me because of my English.
Hi everybody.
Anybody solved problem with white screen?
I have the same truble as EddTQ - White blank screen & also some of the mounted buttons stopped working rarely 2 week before white blank.
same problem here.
Maybe a radio problem?
Folks,
The problem you are describing sounds like the flex connector.

Service Center of HTC
this is the info. that worked for me about their service centre (p.s. if they pick up your phone after all).
http://techbuzzindia.blogspot.com/2009/02/htc-service-centres-in-india.html
BTW, if they don't just mail them and mark a cc to [email protected], they will definitely respond (atleast in my case they did ).
Their support in India is Bull S$%t.

Good to know buddy .
In your first post, there is a exclamation icon on the right. Just click on it (Report Post), and in the message box just inform the mods that the issue has been resolved and they may close the thread.
Thanks, its good to know that my suggestion helped.
So yesterday i was searching forums and i found this thread that lets you download and update the WP7 rom with the new nodo release.
http ://blog.walshie.me/2011/04/04/so-who-wants-windows-phone-updates-like-right-now/
Work fine installed and i have the new nodo update on my device.
But... when i try to open emails, messages, internet explorer etc the mozart will not load them and will return straight back to the home screen.
Im getting really frustrated and im just trying to restore the mozart back to the rom before the new update... for some reason im finding information on how to do this impossible
Help would really be appreciated
cheers guys,
wow i was just goin to awnser you, but this has to wait some more minutes, i just had the craziest crash on my mozart!
battery almost empty
i hook it up on my pc, zune starts everything is fine...
one or two minutes later, the mozart made a "PLOP" sound
it normally does it when you turn off the screen (maybe it didnt always do it)
but i heard the sound once or twice (or more)
but its not normal that the sound comes that late.
well. ZUNE said when this happend: Cant Connect to your Phone, please check connection (after sync)
The RED LED Light is still ON, but i cant connect my phone to Zune
Windows makes the USB Sound, mozart wont react,
i cant turn the screen on!
i cant not even turn it off!
only the RED LED is always On
OH MY LORD WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!?!
im goin to pull the battery and see wtf is happending....
btw sorry to highjack your post
/edit
PFEW lucky me battery plug fixxed it,
i wonder wtf this was! scared the hell out of me..
now to your problem, its really simple and a little surfing the forum would have helped you, maybe searching is always a good idea, but here we go:
Depending on you Carrier you can flash back any Carrier Branded rom without Goldcard, if u want to use another carriers rom or a unbranded one youll need a goldcard, sdcard(usbreader) & Y-Cable
so if you on T-Mobile DE you get from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=786
[NoDo ROM]Mozart_TMO_DE_1.30.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b. 50U_NoDo, by ansar
this rom for nodo

this is 7004 (RTM i belive)
or
[ROM]RUU_Mozart_TMO_DE_1.28.111.03_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50 _RELEASE
which may be the feb update 7008 (pre-nodo)
inside there you should find all other nessesary information
cheers man ill have a look at them now
But the only issue is i brought my Mozart off ebay form a Hong Kong store, so it came unlocked without a network will this cause any issues?
turns out i was just using the wrong rom!
tried the htc asia rom 1.28 i think and worked perfect
cheers again for the help man just had to find the right one!
