i upgraded my phone succesfully to wm6.1 (prophet shadow clean) i admit i was a hard trip, althought it was interesting.
but after days of usage i found the following,
1. am not able to send DTMF during the phone call
2. am not able to bring my phone back to Boot Screen so i can install another ROM
SPL: 2.G3.4pda
IPL: 2.09
ROM: prophet shadow CE
QTEK S200
so i tried to use the loader, it works fine and when it tries to restart my phone in the boot screen mode the phone just hangs in a black screen, and when i try to do it manually it also hangs up in that black screen.
till i remove the battery and restart the phone, and it loads the ROM very smoothly again,
i tried to hard reset the phone and try again, but i get the responces,
did anyone experienced these problems ?
btw thanks to dioxda2 and claudy fa for such hard work Thank you guys,

1. How long have you been using your battery?
2. 100% charged is not equal to a healthy battery,
3. normally, the longer year the battery you use, the weaker the battery performs.
4. just .... if you have the other new battery, test the result, or
5. you can also check if the your problem will be the same if AC charger is plugged.
just wanna assist.
1. i have been using my battery for 2 years.
2. battery lifetime varies from 1.5-2 days.
i dont have my AC charger close, so do u know another way to check battery health ?

1. you may connect the usb power to make a softreset, and to see you problem exists or not,
if no more problem, that means the battary MAY BE not healthy enough to bear the
high(for micro electronics) electric consumtion for prophet rebooting.
Good Luck. Just one of the ways to find your answer logically.
By the way, for monitoring your battery, you may use the battery status.
I can't help you with the boot issue, but your DTMF problem is already covered in the CE thread. Just open that thread and use "search this thread" from the top-bar using DTMF as keyword. Your answer will be presented within a split second.
SUCCES!
As for your dialog with dioxda2, I think you are talking about totally different things......

Together we will manage... But you are talking about battery condition as a solution for his "stuck in bootloader" problem? I am under the impression that you misunderstood his question. But then again, it could also be me who misunderstood!
I think the 'battery' may be something to do with the power provided by the USB port.
Try entering bootloader with the AC supply in.

I have an XDA Atom which turns on upto O2 screen and freezez right there .. i tried to hard reset the phone but failed..
When i press power on and reset button .. screen asks me to press green and red key when i do it says clean boot .. and than do u want to reset your phone ? and than after that i tried to press all keys but nothing happens ,,,
I dont know wht is the problem but i think or assume that i have lost bootloader and or Rom ,,, Please help with this part
Also what tools do i use to flash what i have to flash as the PDA cannot connect with the USB becuase it is not turning on ,,, Please help with this part
Also what do i need to flash to this phone to revive it ,,,? please help with this issue ,, and where can ii download this files ,,
please explain step by step and or direct me to a link where i can geet this information
thank u in advance ,,,
Mike
Thanks for not replying ... but finally i managed ..downloaded the latest version of ROM and put the phone in flash mode by holding camera and reset key at the same time and flashed it ,,
make sure Battery is full ..
Now phone working just fine ..posted this for some other newbie like me

Drat. Got to this one too late. Sorry
Anyways, the Atom does have the tendency to lose track of its own extended ROM (You can actually see this happening if you use the WM5 hidden storage revealer - which ironically happens to cause the problem sometimes as well).
Symptoms include:
- A phracking long boot time (>7 minutes, seems to hang)
- Screen goes out of alignment
- Camera, Autoconfig, Equalizer don't work.
- Hard reset doesn't help.
- EXTROM info is missing from device settings (shows as blank) - tho sometimes the device works without this anyhoo.
- CMOS version is also missing (the device definitely won't work in this case)
Probable cause:
- Someone or something just tried to write to your hidden storage root. (Eh?)
Far as I know there's no method to recover other than flashing your phone again. Just one of the design flaws of the Atom, I guess...
(Yes, I feel for you. I had to solve this myself too, and I didn't want to send it in. Thankfully, this isn't a common problem. )
I've just downloaded the latest Rom from seeo2.com hongkong and I had the very same problem.
My XDA Atom Exec is frozen at the O2 screen.
mun66, if you read this, could you explain how you fixed it?
thanks.

would you plz tell here which rom u used for this ????????
Well, my Atom Exec will do the same sometimes.
But the following method works everytime!!!
Take out the battery. Charge it with a charger until full !!!!
Put it back to the machine, it works every time !!!
Or you may try just charge it in the machine for a few hours and see if that works. Since I always have a spare battery charged, every time that dumb thing stuck, I just changed the battery and it waked up again.

You guys just need to go into bootloader mode before performing an upgrade. For the XDA Atom just press Power+Dpad(center)+stylus reset momentarily, and its now in bootloader mode. RUN again the Update program. If you still experience the same thing, the update file you downloaded might be corrupted. You have to download again and flash your device again.
Mine is still stucked in O2 though done all of the above ways,
got the new ROM and flash it, but still stuck in it.

You might want to send it in the the service centre for a check, just in case it's a hardware problem.. If you still face the same issue even without installing any software..
That's probably a good idea, but i'd like to try some tricks on many threads before.
And also I've heard that O2 service center are not cool

Do keep us posted..
I will face the same problem if i install too much programs.. I guess it's either Pocket Plus, Diary 2 which is causing my problem.. Now wondering if i should change to Atom Life, since they announce WM6... If only there's a perfect phone.
Thank God, it's working after 5x flashing but it still had bug.
I still have to take the battery off for at least 15 minutes if I try to reset the Atom.
Sure 1 thing for ATOM, IT SU**S!!!
i have a friend also has a trouble like this ,but he has solved the problem when he charged the exec. do not you have a try ?
I just picked up one of these to play with.
Mine gets by the O2 screen but if I have a few apps on it it loads the Today screen but then freezes and won't let me access anything either by hard key or screen. Soft reset just repeats the cycle.
This is with only around 4 apps loaded. One of them must be a culprit?
By the way, it came shipped with WM6.0 (ROM: WWE_RC2170507B2).
Right, This is the basic Hard-SPL package; if you already have applied Hard-SPL with the unlocker then DO NOT BOTHER TO USE THIS PACKAGE.
This program is now foolproof as the SPL is flashed directly from the bootloader rather than from the OS so there's no opportunity for anything to go wrong.
for this to work, your device MUST BE RUNNING WINDOWS MOBLE and MUST BE SYNCED WITH THE PC.
to recap: IF YOU ALREADY HAVE 1.20/1.25, DO NOT USE THIS.
Thank you! I won't be waitin', though...
Whatever Trevor.

I m reelly sad and i'm wainting for your help.
Olipro said:
OK... just to make this clear.
Go to the Athena forum and download the unlocker; do Step 1 to flash Hard-SPL.
after that you can close the program if you don't need to unlock.
if I come out with new releases of Hard-SPL, the package will be posted here.

Unlocker for x7501?
Is this unlocker suitable for the x7501 WM6 unit as well? Also do you still need to flash the SPL on the x7501?
Lastly what is "SPL" and why can you brick your device if you don't carry out this upgrade?

Can you place a big bold warning on your SPL Flash link so that other people may not see the same fate...from reading the comments on this thread we are lead to believe that you suggest that we should flash to your SPL before trying a cooked ROM on the 7501 Advantage...

Are you able to get into bootloader? If I read correctly the answer should be no but I wanted to confirm either way. If no, how have you tried to get into bootloader? Key sequence in other words? Have you removed the SD card also?
You are correct, I cannot seem to get into the bootloader or even get the device to come alive at all. I tried camera + reset, volume down + reset, volume down + camera + reset, I looked all over the forum and found a few others but still no luck. All I see is the red LED around the Joystick either become solid lit (without battery in and on AC) or blink lit (with battery in and on AC). The light stays solid lit with battery out and all key combinations tried and does the quick blink lit with battery in and all key combinations as long as reset is pushed. Basically, it would seem that the reset key is working by resetting the circuit to the battery but the device just wont boot up.
I will be sending this unit back anyway due to a manufacturing defect of the SD card slot. When this particular unit was built, I guess no one actually checked to see if the a (mini not micro) SD card fits in, cause IT DON'T!! The slot was missed by about 2mm being to narrow in width...GEESH!!
I am not too happy with hardware of the 7501 right now and probably will look at getting the 7500 or Dopod version for "cooked ROM" pleasure but my advice to others reading this would be to not run out and get the 7501 at the lower price given the problems I am seeing. However, on a positive note, the few hours I did get the 7501 running, it was a blast and I still give the overall performance a 4.5 out of 5 star rating being the most complete and fastest PDA Phone I have had the pleasure to work with.

Man that sucks. Seems like you've tried the correct combination of keys to get into bootloader...just make sure you were pressing that camera button firmly because it's known not to take unless you do this.
What operating system is on your computer BTW? Windows XP/Vista?
I'm not sure I understood the problem with the SD Card. Do you mean to say that when you tried to put in a mini-SD card (not Micro), it wouldn't fit into the slot?
I tried to upgrade ny Orange SPV M 600
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
with wm6_smart1_v1.3 using ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.zip and now its not booting up it stuck up with the three color boot loader screen and i tried hard to hard reset but even after keep pressing the camera and communication button together and pressing the soft reset button with stylus for more than one minute it gave no response plz help its my friends phone and I am doomed if I cant make it up working.
If you disable the connect through USB option in ActiveSync, and then put the SPV in bootloader. Then flash it with a AKU2.2 ROM (Any will do including PV temp), then follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310452.
How do i put SPV in boot loader????
AKU2.2 ROM where do i find this the link(rapidshare) which is given in thread u told is not working and plz tell me if I will have to download a new rom after that or this wm 6.0 by smart1 will work
Hold the Camera button, and insert the stylus into the larger of two holes on the edge of the SPV with the power connector.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Hardreset_bootloader
ya i tried this by reading the thread u mentioned but it puts me back on the same three color screen however I have been able to hard reset and after I press send it said formating FAT something like this
You must enter the bootloader (three colour screen), Then set ActiveSync to not connect through USB (ActiveSync->Settings->connection Settings), Plug the phone into your computer through USB, Then run any of the RUU's from any Part One of here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308755.
Using the AKU2.2 ROM Update Utility, you should get a basic WM5 ROM. You MUST flash an AKU2.2 ROM before you flash a WM6 (AKU3.5) ROM.
Right now i am downloading this original roam from this link
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/Original-Shipped-ROMs/OrangeUK/
will this do????
Can I directly install AKU 2.20 after downloading or will I have to do anything more like putting some file in boot loader which u just said???
I dont want WM 6 anymore plz just advice in steps what I should do to get my phone up and running..............

The RUU is fairly self explanatory-Double click on it and do what it says. The battery charge level is not a problem, so long as there is some charge.

hi manmohan
First thing Dont Panic. There could be several things which might be responsible together making things difficult and confused.
1) Battery have not enough power.
2) Rom installation failed in the middle due to ROM file corruption.
Possible solution (Worth trying out)
----------------------------------
1) For first thing to confirm. Keep battery on charge for 1 hour though nothing is on screen. This will charge no only the main battery but also the internal CMOS battery, which is important. The redlight of charging will show that phone hardware is charging your battery. You are done with BATTERY.
2) Download fresh copy of any compatible rom on your pc. Connect any USB CARD-READER to your PC. Format SD Memory Card in FAT format (also known as FAT16) on your pc. Be sure the card is less than 2GB. If its 1 GB it is better. Copy the AL1.DIO file on SDCARD. You are done with SDCARD.
3) Try installing ROM exactly as mentioned in this THREAD
4) If still this fails, that means your battery is not yet fully charged or not working properly. Go to any mobile shop and ask them to charge the battery to full with thier charging unit and again start from step 1. Also ask the mobile technician if your battery is fine or not.
If battery is above 70% and card is FAT and ROM file is not corrupted, the installation again will go fine and you will be with your mobile again.
THIS MAY HELP, I M NOT SURE, BUT WORTH TRYING OUT THESE BASIC STEPS. HOPE THIS HELPS.
BEST OF LUCK...

Try charging your battery until the amber light turns green (it means it is fully charged).Then try to do a hard reset (pressing the power and reset button simultaneously). It will bring your phone to the last ROM that was installed.

No need to send private emails. May be you are assuming most of us as mobile hardware experts but trust me many of us are not. I am just trying to help.
I am sure, you are very near to solution which you can do on your own. And yes, discussing all this in forum, will help many other people too now and in future, than in private emails.
--------------------------------------------
Try to find Original ROM from O2 website here http://www.myxda.com/romupgrade.aspx Select Atom Life and download Rom Installer for XP version and VISTA version both. Write them on blank CD for future reference, just in case you may need in future. DOWNLOAD THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THEY CLOSE THE SITE AS O2 IS ALREADY TAKEN OVER BY MWG (www.mwg.com)
Try installing this official ROM from your PC with this installer, while your O2 Atom life connected to PC with USB Cable. Even this method also restores many phones from boot error.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.

same problem
I have the same problem. what happens is that i include eboot.nbo in the mini sd. when flashing is done, i have a dead set.
searching for jtag what I found is that the software out there that is compatible for exec and flame. when used with life will result with errors.
also trying some key combinations but never come up with flashing/boot screen.

Please describe what you can see now in the screen of bootloader.
I think I've faced the same problem on my Atom Life before(my device has been dead(due to flashing error), but then cured by myself)... Maybe I can help.

Yap Atom Dead bootloader is very annoying
Almost 1 year my Atom life dead or brick.I already Searched even to Service Center in our country and Atom central service in Singapure and china but none of them can fixed this this problem. They Said : "The Only way for fixing this brick atom life just Replace mother board".The Atom which has dead bootloader can not fix with Just press whatever button in your atom or even install New ROM.Cause the one of term for installing the new rom to The ATOM life is port must be detected by USB Computer port.But in this condition your atom life nothing detected by USB Port computer.Reasonly you can not nothing to do.But FYI if you have contact person in China precisely in Quanta Computer Manufacturer especially in Maintenance or engineering, I think there's only hope.But In the world there's nothing imposible to do.Until now I am still keeping my brick atom dead life, waiting someone can solve this problem. many thx.

I am building jtag hardware. I will try to flash boot loader using linux taken from this site.
HTML:
http://www.nrs.pt/pub/projects/acuv2/doc/mel-colibri/html-chunk/mel.bininstall.html
It is also possible to use windows, but some parts of the program is missing. Still, I am having a hard time to build the jtag hardware, taken some parts from nokia dct3 flasher.
Had the same problem and after about 15 days of its brick status I took it out and charged and after 100 % charged installed the official "Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2" and then subsequently the PDAVIET ROM 6.1 with AL1.DIO.
can you explain the procedure in detail.?

I think the problem not from the JTAG Software.Officially Intel PXA 270 can be flashed by reguler flasher software with jflashm or even HJTAG and I already read detailly in the intel section site,but we can not find the right position so we can not flush directly eboot this processor.Now I am unfolding this atom for searching The right JTAG Position.But I don't know how identify this jtag point.In this side board there are many point, I think I must try one by one, do u have any idea?
help
i also have same problem... my atom life brick...i cannot power on at all.. nothing appear on the screen... i have done the charging tricks.. please help me
Hi guys
I'm new to this stuff, and I've been searching round on the forums for the last half hour but haven't managed to find a clear cut explanation of whether my atom is dead or not..
I just tried to install the Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM (Atom_B1.7z) I think it was the helloworld1 rom? Anyway, I was trying to install the ROM through the DSSU method and it got through to about 6% on the first step then my atom shut off
It won't respond to any button pushes now, however it will still display the charging light. I can't even get into the bootloader to reflash, however, I would have thought that the first step was only to install the OS, so I don't understand how it effects the bootloader? Unless I'm wrong?
Can anyone give me a clear cut idea as to whether my atom is dead or not?
Cheers.

ur device is bricked, if and only if, ur device won't start normally... even if u press soft-reset, hard-reset, or even bootloader mode buttons. Before panicking, do da following:
Brick Test:
1. Make sure ur device has ample battery charge. If u're not sure plug it in with da wall charger for at least 10min
2. Remove ur battery for at least 1 minute
3. Replace ur battery while observing da LED lights
4. If da LED blinks once upon battery insertion, u might have hope yet
Da only way to upgrade on a semi-brick device, is to upgrade through bootloader mode. No bootloader mode, No upgrade possible - period.
Entering Bootloader Mode on Semi-Brick Atom:
1. Remove battery for for at least 1 minute
2. Press CAMERA+RESET(stylus) simultaneously
3. Insert battery while still holding da buttons
4. Release da buttons at da same time(u should see bootloader screen)
Note: Failure to hold the buttons at da same time during battery insertion will cause it not to work.
GOOD LUCK
Thanks, ma Atom now working ) yeahh
