hi all,
after some playing 8) with the bootloader and the SDCard I come up with this situation:
my O2 is dead and nothing work, also the invocation of the "wallaby" doesn't work.
I feel that the bootloader is gone.
I notice that when I invoke "wallaby" the led blink fast red.
And, looking throught the phone jack, a red led comes up and stay one since another soft-reset.
Is there anyone that can help me ?
I have the same problem. My XDA is dead (so it seems). Did you find a solution?

: This is my first entrie to the forum so if someone could help I would be very grateful.
I have had an O2 XDA for a little over a year. It has been working fine with no problems. I think it must be a very early one as the loader version say's wallaby v5.12. It has now developed a problem that has made it impossible to use.
When the xda is turned on and soft reset.The red, green and blue screen (GU 2.62 ) appears and then the main program sort of installs but without a start bar, just a red stripe along the top. navigation around the program is almost impossible and even a hard rest does not help. Can anyone give me some advice on perhaps loading things from scratch, perhaps a new rom ?.
The power light no longer shows if charging is taking place and Active sync will not find the unit from a PC. Any help is will be gratfully received.
PS it is very possible that this is a pre launch model if that changes anything...
have you tried a hard reset?
It will wipe everything though (all your data)
Yes I have tried the hard reset but things are still the same.
Will the bootloader v5.12 cause any problems when a new Rom is programed as I have only heard mention of 5.14- 5.17.
Hello All,
It has been a while since my last post, but I need help once again.
My Magician has taken a turn for the worse. The power connector has broken off and I had it repaired by a great company.
My issue is now the device is coming up with multiple colors on the display (primarily Orange, Light Blue, and White) vertically). This is different from the color test where it is Red, Blue, Green.
When I attempt to load the ROM all I get are connection issues on the MaUpgradeUt. I am not positive I have gotten the device into the correct mode as the display is not working. Speaking of displays, the company that attempted to repair my device did try a new screen and experienced the same results. Also they placed the original screen on a new Magician and the screen worked great.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would love to have my Magician back.
Thank you,
John
John,
Try maupgradeut_noid.exe from the ftp, instead of maupgradeut.exe. It may help. I don't advice you to run down the battery cause some are complaining that it won't charge without OS. BTW does the led come up constantly when you plug in the power or usb? If so you probably still got an OS.
Guess you know how to put it into bootloader, just try & hold for a second or 10 & connect usb & try to flash with the no_id. Must be difficult without confirmations on your screen, but a SD flash will be even harder.
Hope this helps, otherwise I see only one solution left: have it serviced again :-(
Regards, M
Thank you for the info.
I tried the new MaUpgradeUt_noID but now I am getting the error on the PC saying Error 150: ROM Upgrade Utility Error.
The device appears to be fully functional with the exception of the screen.
John
Did you ran the noid once or twice. It needs to be running twice, my guess is that in the first run it alters the RUU file (adds the first line devicecheck or something) & the second it really upgrades.
Was the screen problem present before you had the power-connector serviced? Maybe something is loose or broken now...
Cheers, M
Hello all,
I have recently killed my Jamin. Im not sure whether it is permanent or not. Personally it looks like a rom failure with the video bois, but I am far from experienced with windows mobile#.
I have searched the forum and can not find anything similar.
(Story)
To cut a long story short, I picked up my Jamin while it was connected to my pc. Catching a gimps of WM5 and the battery fell out (while still connected to my vista pc). So it turns off and I put the battery back in and turned it back on.
(What does work)
This is kind of hard to explain, but from what gather, everything seems to be running fine except the screen. Basically it still syncs up (can access files) and the Bluetooth led turns on after a minutes or how ever long it takes
(Problem)
The problem is that the screen is doing something weird (This is the hard part to explain). I do not get anything out of it even the "htc" pic at the start.
It has these blue horizontal lines about a pixel wide running down the screen. They change like the screen is trying to display different things but it is as if it does not know how to use the screen.
Im thinking re-install the rom? But I do not want to make things harder for myself if I am wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tryed Flashing.
Well If anyone is interested, I tried Re flashing and I still get the same problem. My next PDA will not be an Imate, too many problems.
Hi im from Germany,
i tried to flash my Acer S200 but it stopped by 50% and i have pluged the cable out. I cant turn it on, it gives no signal, i cant bring it to the download mode. Nothing is working no hardreset with buttons.Nothing is working and when i plug it to usb the LED isnt blinking
Sorry for my bad english ..
my phone is new, it has garanty, should i contact the acer support or can anyone help me ?
Hold volume up/vol down button + reset until you see "clean boot"
i tried it the phone gives no signal .. no clean boot is coming .. the rom flashing was at 50% i think it is breaked
but thank you
did you try removing then replacing the battery. then try bootloader mode again?
yes i tried but nothing is working i cant enter the bootloader nothing is working it is just off no vibration nothin is working
sorry, but I have to ask, are pressing then holding vol down +power +camera buttons
at the same time until blinking red light starts?
you have to get into bootloader mode then flash a custom rom
brainmaster has a few including a "clean" rom.
I had this happen awhile ago and tried so many things for 2 days that now I don't
remember what actually worked! But I don't think that your S200 is bricked.
Also, make sure that you keep the power cable pluuged in (not usb)
you need a good charge even if you don't see the green light.
just keep trying and if I can remember I let you know.
or someone here will help you to find a solution!
thank you for your help but there is no light blinking. Also when i plug it to charge no light is going on. it doesnt charge the battery. i hope you can remember
i already know how to flash a rom but the phone doesnt give any sign
sorry I can't remember but you should ask brainmaster and maybe he can really help.
And he speaks german= )
thank you i will send him my problem
Any solution
Hi. I kind of found myself in the same situation. My acer s200 is unresponsive, no blinking lights no matter key/reset combinations. Had been in the middle of flashing on a new ROM when it got accidentally disconnected.
Any possible solution? Already checked the battery out in a different phone and it's fine and charged.
Hey,
i don't want to looks like a vultur, but if some of you can't find a solution to resolve the problem you have, I'm interested by the device because I need some piece. Of course I hope you can resolve your problem but if there are no led blinking, the last possibility is to send it to acer, and if you don't want to wait/pay/or whatever to with the acer support, I'm interested by your device.
Arto
Vulture indeed!! I'm need of help man.
you still need help?????
Hey GarcoG. Yes, still in need of help. My S200 is currently a desktop paperweight at home. It's a beautiful paperweight but it was made for so much more. Would really like to get it up and running again.
A new thing I noticed. I'm able to charge my phone's battery to full on my friend's s200. Of course when I put it back into my phone, it's still completely unresposive. However, I noticed that whenever I put it back into my friend's phone, the charge on it has reduced. I'm pretty sure it's not a battery issue I have since my phone is still unresponsive with my friend's battery in it and the same happens with that battery as well.
Would really appreciate any ideas on fixing this.
Hi, count me in. I just jumped on your wagon.. will try to disassemble this beauty soon before I officially demote it to a shiny paperweight.. well it's not that shiny, i put on a matte screen protector on it
Really funny about that matte screen protector. Cannot wait for the results. In my case, phone got accidentally connected just as it had reached the stage of flashing on the new ROM. Was thinking it was probably unresponsive because the ROM instructions that enable it respond to key combinations are absent hence cant get it into Bootloader mode.
@ incognito_tkd: Any luck with the disassembly? Would like to know your findings.
I have same problem... same situation
But... when I connect my USB charger, it shows red LED on... as if the charging is ON. But no reaction
Any one help please
there is no possibility to repair the phone... you have to send it to acer !!
i got my phone 1month after i´ve send it
hello community!
after register and see the video (i know im not special ) i have a problem with my german motorola pro from vodafone with stock froyo without root: the notification LED isnt flashing on new mails/messages,its permanent!
i tried blink and light flow lite from the market,im so used to different led notification from my blackberry.
did i break my phone somehow?is there a fix/solution?do i have to reflash it with a SBF file?
i used the search and looked up the specific motorola droid general forum,but didnt find anything (wrong search words,wrong forum?!)
so if i accidently open up a new thread to a known/fixiable bug,be gentle on the asskicking!
thanks in advance.

Warm welcoming mate.
Actually the led is a pain in arse for this phone.
Ask Moto how they got this stupid idea, that the Led would only work while your screen is off.
aka You got mails/missed calls while your screen is off, then you will get your led blinks, only.
So, no worries, nothing execlusively wrong for your phone, coz all our phones are too right to be wrong.
Not sure? Go to Blink again, test led with any colour and turn your screen off, you will see your led intact.
thnx for the reply!
the LED is working,not flashing but permanent on at missed events,thats "my problem".im glad that nothing is really broken or kinda like that.
but thanks anyway!
