HI,
I apologise if this is the wrong forum, but I cannot find anything specific to my device, and all threads I found so far that deal with flashing might as well be in Greek. Please move it to wherever is appropriate if this is the wrong place.
The problem;
My Onda v140 (I think it's an Elite but I got it second hand and I don't know for certain) bricked over night. I turned it on and it is stuck on the android animation. Tried a couple of times, no joy.
Its OS is (or WAS) Android 4.01.
I found firmware for the v140 elite and would like to try flashing the thing to fix it, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. I don't know any of the jargon beyond the word flashing, and have had little luck on the internet except for a video which might have been helpful except that it is in German and I don't speak German.
Can anyone point me to some sort of beginners guide to this please?
Hope this helps : -

Thanks, but that guide doesn't work. I spent half an hour holding the middle button and pushing the power button without it doing a dicky bird. I also tried running livesuite as administrator in case that would help.
Nothing.

Hi all,
I have been following xda for a while now, but this is my first post. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to WinMo devices so apologies for sounding stupid.
I'm trying to upgrade a ROM on Atom Life and I'm unsure how to get the bootloader onto an SD card. I've searched for hours and have not found anything besides the wiki on xda, but as I'm not an experienced WinMo user, I need it in a little more detail.
It'd be very grateful if anyone could enlighten me!
Press Record + Reset, leave Reset first => ***MiniSD Detected*** => waiting 100%

pls search before you open a new thread just for ask a simple question.
Thanks! I did have a good search around, tried the "record + reset" method but nothing happens, it just reboots. I'll give it another go and have another search around.
Thanks for your time.
Try this, my friend success with it:
Power+Record+Reset, and release reset first.

If it is not work, nothing will happend to your device, why did your device screen black? did you flash it with others ROM before?
I've manage to do it now. It takes a bit of finesse to get it right, but i got there in the end. Flashed a stable 6.1 ROM onto device and it's pretty good.
I'm getting a X1 soon this is only a device to start me off in the world of WM. Plus, it's my mates Atom, so I shouldn't really messing about with it. Lol!
Thanks for all the help!
Good
Searching the internet I came here to change the rom of my phone, use the hard reset and did not have any problem in the process, then asks me to restart the phone, restarted, and when a screen turns white and does not come out of it, no more than anything.
I'm a little desperate now, I know there is a high-value mobile but it cost me to raise the money to buy it, I hope you have a solution and can help me.
From already thank you very much
PS: sorry for my bad English, I am South American
Sounds like you flashed and incompatable ROM or didn't use hard_spl either way go over to the htc official website - click support find your device and it will list some stock ROMs download an official ROM using the S/N from underneath the battery - Make sure the battery has plenty of charge - plug into your PC and load the stock htc ROM file this should take you through all the standard ROM flash info and will then flash the stock ROM onto your device. Hopefully this will flash back to stock for you and no more white screen.
Good luck and let us know how it went

I think that what you say is only for original phone htc diamond 2, since according to official rom I read are for the real htc diamond 2.
The mine is not original, as it says is a Chinese clone t5388i, please follow the screen in white, would greatly appreciate if someone helps me out of this problem is quite afflicted.
Again sorry for my bad English
sorry missed the clone bit on your topic . I don't have a clone myself so no ideas if the hard reset works. Might be a good idea to post which ROM you flashed to it
good day
the mobile screen just stayed white and does not know how I can flash now, there will be someone who has been the same and have a solution? I appreciate it, I would be very helpful.
Greetings
HTC_NEW, please check this topic. It's dedicated to the clone phones (except the T5388++ who has it's own topic)
There is a tool called k3AID available who could help you. It's posted in that topic about 50 posts ago. I have a copy if you need it.
There is also another possibility to do a blind flash. This means the screen is not working but the phone can still be flashed. First thing is get the correct firmware for your phone because each time you flash the phone can get bricked / defect.
If my feedback helps you to solve your problem, please give me a thanks on the post.

OK - I can summarize my experiencies:
IDT flash... I think everybody who is doing this experiments have this software...
K3AID... h++p://www.ulozto.cz/6556122/k3firstaid-exe
can switch phone to "download" state even if the HW keys are not working
it suppose working ActiveSync connection (downloaded from mobileuncle com) not my own sw...
Sometimes may be a bit dificult to get K3AID working.. it can show some error message like "RTM state Error" - You need to install h++p://www.ulozto.cz/6556123/cabviaactivesync-1-5-setup-exe
and h++p://www.ulozto.cz/6556124/gb-ppc-2-1-3-20090929-cab
it is only summarize of my experiences - none of this utility is mine, so use it on your own risk

@HTC_NEW: Did you do the following steps according to reeprich instructions? What was the end result?
I did read that you used the calibration menu but I expect that you should use the download firmware menu. Is that available? ( I had the software installed but my virus scanner complained that there is a virus in the tmp file...) What's more important if your phone does not work anymore... Please be aware that this is a possible virus.
Removing the battery for a couple of minutes can help for restarting the phone.

I have done the same thing with my t5388i clone from china.
I tryed to flah the ROM and now I have the white screen.

Did you get your phone working back ?
Now i´m trying to use other ROM´s , but until now no success.

Hi,
I had the same problem.
I used the rom postet from parabellum20000 (post # 1354) in this thread:

Electronic star finally sent me (what they claim to be) SD ROM for t5388i. (99.3MB) I personally do not want to verify if it is truth, I am the one fortunate owner of perfectly (in some degree) working phone. Please feel free to use it on your own risk and share results if possible.

P.S.Please remember, flashing your phone with a wrong ROM is the safest way to brick (damage) it. So do not do it if it isn’t really necessary!

Much appreciated.

Probably used the forum Stickies, "Search" function, or "Google".
Should have used it first before panicking and posting another "help. I'm bricked!!" thread.
At least he's sorted, but these type of posts where Users have asked for help, eventually found the answer somewhere else, but not bothered to post their actual fix
Hello
I wanted flash the rom of my atrix Orange France, with France rom retail,
The Atrix is soft brick
Unable to launch rsd mode or ...
When I pressed the button down one sees displayed nv flash and the phone turn off
If I press the top button, it starts in fastboot
What should I do.
thank you
PS : Sorry for my English
do you have experience with fastboot.
This worked for me in a similar sounding softbrick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 Check to make sure that this applies to your situation first though.
I was at the beginning of a stock rom 2.3.4 orange Fr.
I erase the rom and put a rom 2.3.4 fr.
The phone has never been amended (unlock, costum rom, root...)

Its not working :/
I made a video to show the problem
http // www youtube com / watch?v=HlSP6odb_Ro
Is it nv flash? If so it is currently unfixable. Here is a quote from a recent thread that I posted.
Erebus671 said:
okay, I am seeing this alot, but everyone else unit seems to shut off before anything can happen, mine does not, it simply stays on. That being said, I am conducting an experiment, since my ATRIX was afflicted I baught a new one because I liked the webtop idea, so im charging my new one to 100% and then im going to swap out batteries and check the results. Has anyone seen any evidence at all that might suggest a possible fix? I will update you guys on the results of my experiment once completed, hopefully I can come across something that will lead someone to a fix if not find one myself.

I've got this device from a friend, he asked me to help him to fix it.He bought new device and started to mess around with it. Rooting, installing CM7 and, maybe, smthng else. Thant the device started to miss some touches. So he did unregistered the device. From what i've seen on this forum, it can be caused by 5\10 multitouch driver. So i tried to use 8 fail boots method to reset the device, it didn't helped me. Than i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1402190 method - it didn't helped me either. Does this two solutions guarantee to restore original 2 touches driver? Do i need to do something else? Or he have to purchase new touch screen panel?
P.S. I have a 16 Gb version
Have you read the already existing discussion about this?

Yeah. I read all i could find. Some of them say, that i popped out my microSD card and touch screen started to work. The other ones talk about 10 points touch screen driver issue. That was my question - will device factory reset reflash the old, 2 point touch screen driver. If it wouldn't - i'll have to do this by myself - i haven't yet figured out all the details - to much new and unknown staff. But if it would - probably, this tabled need new touch frame. The problem is - i don't really know, what exactly had been done to the tablet.
Read it again! Restoring to original will not reset the touch firmware. The discussion a couple of posts below this at this moment tells you waht you need to do, or at least what you can try.

Better post link to topic even though it's just few lines down right now
