Help! MDA T-Mobile still hangs after ROM flash - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Have done 3 Rom flashes now, 2 Roms from the kitchen and the last T-Mobile Rom 4.00.021.
Each time the MDA starts up, the right bottom corner shows:
G
R
4.00.021
and then nothing... The backlight keeps flashing each 10 sec on/off.
What is wrong here? The trouble started with installing the original car-kit.
If it is a HW issue, I need to go to the T-Mobile shop. For this I'd like to revert to the original ROM version (they wouldn't like the actual 'Test only. Not for sale' message, would they? :shock: ).
Anybody out there who has 3.16.36 on his MDA and could create an image for me? Where can I download one?
Plz help me.
Thx in advance,
gaspode

Wizard freezing at startup screen

The problem appeared today morning, while listening music using tcmp. the sound stopped suddenly, and standard animated cursor appeared over tcmp screen. i closed tcmp, and the rest of the system seemed fine, i was able to mute the phone and entered my work place. After a while i noticed the screen is off and i can not turn it on using pwr button, although green led kept blinking so the phone was operating. after a soft reset it would not go over splash screen showing IPL, SPL (which are: IPL: 1.06, SPL 1.06, GSM: 01.12.10, OS 1.6.2.4).
I've tried multiple times and still the same, only difference is that sometimes I can see the cursor and sometimes not. I can get to rgb screen and "press send to restore" as well, but that's it. I can't remember whether previously pressing a key illuminated a screen and keys, but now it doesn't. I used to have problems with screen not going black on idle since few days, but that's it. What could have happened? And if the only solution is hard reset, please tell me, could I somehow backup my contacts now? I don't have activesync here so I have to wait till I finish my work to find out..
please help anyone...
rom version : 1.6.2.4 WWE,
date : 11/15/05
radio : 01.12.10
protocol : 4.0.13.23
extrom : 1.6.2.105
That's spooky. My MDA has the same versions of IPL, SPL, GSM and OS, and this morning started misbehaving.
What's this rgb screen you can get to with the "press send to restore" option?
How do I do a hard reset (I have a backup on SD) without being able to get to the Start>Settings>System>Clear storage control panel option?
Rgb screen is a bootloader which i enter by holding cam+voicedial+commmanager butons while softreseting wizard. the other screen i mentioned i enter holding cam and voice buttons, and then pres reset. that screen says 'pres send to restore factory defaults any other key to quit' and it does hard reset if you press green button here...
my problem seems to be over for now, i managed to turn the phone on while i plugged it into a wall charger (believe me, the battery was not a problem - i don't know for how long it's ok now, but at least i made contacts backup now so that i'm ok with a hard reste if i have to...
You both have old roms and could do with upgrading them to aku2 roms. (your device will be more stable) i.e. the first number of the rom will be 2. Please dont ask me to go through how to flash a rom because there are hundreds of posts on the same topic and read the wiki - shortcut top left of the screen. You need to identify whether your device is g3 or g4 but i suspect you both have g3 chips.
Now read & read esp the wizard upgrading forum and wiki and then when you feel confident - flash your device.
mu chipset is g3 based on my ipl/spl info... i wouldn't dare to ask anyone to explain the process of flashing, i'm not that crazy. only thing i'd dare, would be to advice me what rom should i use... or a way to determine this, since i know it can't be just any rom...

Looking at your rom numbers i gather you have a t-mobile vario - is it uk or usa rom or polish - i see you live in poland.
there latest uk rom is here ftp://[email protected]/Wi...Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe

Its prob best you sim unlock and cid unlock before you flash in case you change to a non-tmobile rom inc one of the cooked roms.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
and read dr puttingham's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and now i have given you more than enough hints
p.s. by the way remember to write down your gprs settings and mms settings to use with your new rom.
thats right, its tmobile vario, uk one. it is sim unlocked, i'm not sure about cid but it should not be a problem. thanks for the hints, it really seems more then enough;] i'll probably have to use theese, as soon i have a spare evening...
you don't have to explain me the importance of gprs settings - forcing my wiz to work in uk's o2, then in polish plusgsm, then loosing settings and doing it again finally got me into a habbit of backing every settings up ;]
and last but not least, guys, yesterday i did my first HR ;] ...

HELP - Did i just brick my HTC ?

Hello, i used imei-check's program to unlock my phone, i did a hard-reset and then i used the PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe. I did executed it on my pc, and there was a dos window saying something about waiting some minutes and everything was fine. After ~10 minutes, i was seeing that nothing was going on on either my phone or my pc, so i did reset the phone and closed the dos window. But since then my phone stays on the HTC screen, displaying the following
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL 1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
I tried to download a small rom from my manufacturers site and i did went onto bootloader screen, by holding the upper left and upper right buttons and then the reset button, and i did flash the new small rom, but it keeps staying there. Is there a way to flash the original rom back in ?
PLEASE HELP ME !
PS : How do you hard-reset using the hardware buttons ?
To do a hard reset.
Press both soft keys and insert stylus into soft reset button and press.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.
When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.
Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.
from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets
even the hard reset, isnt bringing the phone back to life. what should i do ?
i think you should enter into bootloader menu connect you ppc with usb to your pc and flash it with the original shipped rom that you had before or if it's unlocked with any original shipped rom... It is the only way...
how can i flash my original rom ? is it included on some of the cd's it was shipped or ?
no ... there was on an ftp but now it is down... Maybe someone who has it can upload it in rapidshare .... What brand has your artemis? HTC, Dopod??? Leave some info in order to get the right rom... if noone help you until tommorow i will upload an original HTC Rom(right now i can't) if it works on your ppc...
It is an original HTC phone aye, so there isnt a way to find a rom like this out in the open ?
I DID THE SAME!
Please someone share the original rom for MDA Compact III T-Mobile UK!
It can be anything to fix the device.
Pleeease!
P.S.
Is there any software to dump a rom from other device?
I have access to my firend's MDA and possibly could use his to get a copy.
You guys seem to have the same problem as me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294551
I have already download all the original ship ROMs from XDA-FTP but no luck to try any of them on my device. It always said "Invalid Model ID". Some people said, the CID area was damage and the only way I can do is open my device and use jtag interface to directly flash my ROM without access to bootloader. I am now trying to do that and the last chance is to send my phone to Imeicheck (Glasgow, Scotland) to get it fixed.
Anyway, if you want any of these ROMs please email me ([email protected]) and give me your FTP so I could upload them. Sorry cannot send over email because they were big (~40Mb).
Just upload them on rapidshare and send me a private message with the links. If i dont get it to work, i am gonna send it back and get a replacement.
Same problem
I also got the same problem as you are, not even a hard reset helped me to start the p3300 ... My device is not CID free so i can flash only the htc italian rom into it (i had italian language in my device) and i can't find anywhere a rom with italian language so i'm stuck and i don't know what to do ... ( i tryed flashing all the roms found on FTP but my p3300 won't accept any of them )
If anybody got an ideea how to fix this problem or got a htc rom with italian please upload it somewere
Thanks

Yeah! I'm in. I will describe my way to get the device back to live - if I ever get it.
So far I got information that seems to be quite important to those that are stucked on Invalid ID error.
Apparently the ROM named ART_DOPODASIA_10270701_024190_WWE_TEST works for all model IDs.
So share please.

You're a star!!!
It is alive !
The original ROM worked at last! And here is the story:
1. Bought IMEI-CHECK and unlocked the MDA Compact III
2. Flashed with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe (with device on Today screen)
3. The process started and stuck on "uploading file [don't remember] and as the instruction said I reseted the phone after 30 minutes.
4. T-Mobile splash screen, version infos and that's it.
5. Tried to flash again in bootloader mode but the device was not visible by PC
6. Thankfully to djsolid tried to flash with HTC Original and ended up with Invalid ID
7. Flashed with the original ROM from T-Mobile UK and it is working now.
I am not sure when I will try to flash it again
Well, my phone is alive again, thanks to http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=74701&PN=1
I have flashed my phone with the dopod rom, and it worked ok, and then i flashed the Powermap one, and it works fine.
ROMS
Hello,
I have just bought myself an Xda Orbit, and previously have had Exec, Blueangel etc but was gutted to hear about Micro$oft and their action. i am very keen to customize my phone and ext rom etc just like i used to do and wrote about last year so i am willing to create a new website and will host myself and have all the roms available as a download for all to share BUT i need the roms. i have just downloaded from rapidshare the t-mobile rom and will download the ext rom from this ftp site but i need more roms and any programs that are useful i will host on the site and just link it to this site for downloading. i am not sure how to host ftp but i can learn....
let me know if this will be useful and i will get the ball rolling in getting an address and hosting account. thanks

Artemis doesnt`t start

please help! I have made a wrong ROM Update for my Artemis. The result is that it doeasn`t starts anymore. I see only the start screen no more. If i make a SW or HW reset tahn i see a 3 colored screen and USB. But i don`t get a connection via usb to my compute`! How can i wake up my Artemis ???
tell use more what did you do and how did you do it?
what artemis is it?
what rom was it
Flash went sour..
You need the original ROM which was on your device when you bought it. What version (HTC, MDA, etc..) and what language was the original ROM?
please i need help too
I guess I made the same or a similar mistake that dr.moppi did. My machine is a Dopod P800 from mainland china with the chinese operating system. I flahsed it with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap. Don't really remember what the original ROM was but now when i turn it on it freezes when it lights up. On the screen, it says
IPL 1.27.0001
SPL 1.27.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
DOPOD
I don't get a connection through usb to the computer either. I am not sure if I did the hard reset correctly. Didn't understand the instruction on that "press the soft key left and right and soft reset at the same time." Anyway, you guys are all experts, can you help me please?
it should be the same as my problem
if i remeber than i used the same ROM Update :-(
I hope anyone could give us a solution, please.
@dr. moppi we can only help you if we know what version you had before.
@empathyvirus you have to look for the original ROM which, in your case, should be the Chinese Dopod ROM. Install that one and your good to go.
Without the original ROM the only thing left to do is: sending your device to your provider or contact and sent it to the guys of imei-check. Either way, you'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.
how to install original rom
Thanks for your quick reply Pyth. In the case I get the original ROM from somewhere, how do I install it if I can't get a connection between the phone and my computer? Can you advice?
Put your device in bootloader by pressing the record button and reset at the same time. If you have your USB-cable connected between your PC and your phone it will indicate a connection by 'USB' in the left corner of your device. Now you should be able to run the ROM executable and update your device.
thanks anyway
i tried but it didn't seem to work. anyway, i have troubled you enough and maybe it's best i just go to the repair centre of dopod and pay for a fix. i really appreciate your help though Pyth.
Where can i find the t-mobile rom its the MDA Compact III that wont start for me

Thanks
If any one can help me Get XDA Moible 6.0.0.0 working on my MDA i will paypal them some $money$
My aim is deathblooms237
U are in bootloder mode. Thats fine. U didnt bricked ur phone. Now u can softreset ur mobile. By infrared eye u will see a hole and with your pen restart ur device.
BUT FIRST you have to know if u have G3 or G4 model. if your ipl/spl is 2.21.0001 - with 3 zeros than u have g4. READ ALL ABOUT G4, cause if u use rom for g3 or any rom which isnt for wizard OR ANY ROM WHICH contains IPL/SPL u are SCREWED UP. YOUR mobile will die and u could just throw it away.
SAFE ROMS for g4 are: NBD, faria, OCTAIVOI's etc. See a few on this link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=wizard_WM_6
AND you should also read ALL about sSPL method - GREAT, FANTASTIC WAY TO FLASH YOUR G4.

Try flashing your operator's official rom back into the phone to begin with. That should get you at least a working phone again.
Check the XDA-Wiki (button on top of this screen) on the Wizard section how to troubleshoot or unbrick your phone
