i really screwed my xda!!! help!!! Please

I have rom 4.00.16 from the kitchen, and i wanted to upgrade the radio.
I had ver. 5.15 and i downloaded the radio upgrade from xda.ie (the first one that apeared in a google "xda radio upgrade" search.
Since it didn't tell me the radio version i was going to upgrade i installed it to the xda, and as soon it finished installed the xda self-soft-reseted and asked me for mim password, i have entered it and it started to do the upgrade by itself and got stuck at 10% for several minutes and frozee there.
I have already soft-reseted, hard-reseted, but without sucess my xda wont boot the OS, only displays the "not for sale" screen with the following info:
G
R
4.00.16

Help please!!!!
I dont have a sd card reader!!!!
Any other possible workarounds???
you can help me here or by my msn messenger: [email protected]
I'm stuck with out a mobile phone.

You have to have a card reader to fix it. There is no other way. You have to upgrade OS (using SD card method) and then try installing radio upgrade again.

I have already done that.
Now i can boot the xda (pressing the volume button) but as soon it starts making the upgrade it says it fails (at 1%)
The worst part is that the xda isn't charging (or it doesn't assume it's charging and that's why it doesn't continue with the upgrade).
I've already tried to copy the gsm soft from a working qtek 1010 using the bootloader gsm to sd method, but no sucess since nothing happens (i insert the serial cable on the xda but mtty.exe doesn't react or recognize the xda - any possibel mistake i'm making here???).
Help most wanted, since i can't afford at this time to pay for a motherboard replacement - this is my only solution according to the qtek technical support here in Portugal (and hey, thanks a lot for your time )
Anyone can please suggest any possible solution?!?!?!?
You can feel free to use my msn: [email protected] to contact me...
I will pass some licenced software to the person that can help me solving my problem!!!!
TIA

Maybe this thread can give you any help :?: :?: http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2489

Why it tries to run upgrade upon boot? When I flashed my OS there were no files under start up folder to run upgrade executable. I suggest boot your XDA and remove everything from Startup folder

My main problem is that i can't get the xda to charge (or at least assume it's charging the led is always off).
Isn't there a way to crack the rsu to avoid him to check battery status an carry on with the upgrade (cracker's welcomed )??
I think that would solve my problem
I can boot the OS by pressing the volume key (already changed to several OS's to see if one coulde handle with the charging problem.)
And i can sync with my desktop.
But i cant upgrade via programme A.
Programme B installs on the xda but when it reboot's it stop's at 1%
I now have a original o2 3.17.3 and my bootloader is 5.15
I've seen that in the bootloader we have the chance to backup the gsm rom to a SD card! But how to restore it??? If anyone can make such a backup and has a way to restore it can you please share it with me???
As i said i don't have the money to exchange my motherboard (that's the answer from QTEK'S support i've got (great guys thank's again for your time)
I've arranged a conmceptronics sd/mmc/ms/sm/etc.../etc... card reader.
So if one finds a way of backing up the gsm rom, copy it to the sd and zip it using the rom tools here available could you please send it to me???
Thanx in advance

Another thing:
with this rom installed if i go to backlight settings it wont turn off the backlight.

Hi,
I need urgent help
Qtek Support here in Portugal gave me a qtek unit for a few days to see if i find a way to recover mine without replacing the motherboard.
I have the following material:
-1 working qtek 1010
-1 damaged xda
-usb cradle
-serial cable
-sd card reader
-1 128mb twinmus sd card
-charger
-etc...
What can i do to solve my problem
Please help
TIA

Magician: turn on only in bootloader, can't be flashed

Please, help me in the following situation
I bought Qtek s100 It turns on only in bootloader mode. What was before I don't know.
Now I try to reflash it via PC. I unpacked rom 1.12 from imate and put there file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and then ran it. The utility can't see the device information (it is normal) but it can't see the informatin about the rom I'd like to flash. I click @[email protected] but it says it gather information about the device and nothing happened.
I tried to run again about 20 times, but nothing helped.
I tried to flash it via card using rom-image but there is no invitation to reflash though I flashed via card more than 20 times other htc devices and then everything was ok.
I ran mtty 1.42 and gave command d2s, but it said unknown command. Then I gave d2s command then the device turned off.
I have qtek s110 with broken display. Is it possible to change rom-memory?
Is it possible to get service_manual for magician?
Thanks

First of all, did you back up your current ROM to SD before Flashing new ROM.
1. Yes. It's VERY GOOD. Disconnect your device from PC. You need to insert SD with your ROM to the device and Turn On. Press Power or Cancel button (i didn't realy remeber try all). After that device will flash ROM form SD.
2. No. It's VERY BAD. You need to know start address form what device should start after Reset. Sory here i did not know what it is.

Hi,
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46628 about the SD flash
M

thanks, but te problem is the device doesn't want to work with card. No reaction on the card with rom-image, turning off when typing d2s

Don't know where you bought & how much you paid for it (sure hope it's less then a new screen), but sir I guess you're scr*w*d.
Maybe you can replace your broken S110 screen with the one from the S100. There's a rar file on the board, with a detailed description & pictures on howto disassemble your magician, think it's called disassembly.rar.
EDIT You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44841
M

thanks, but I think the screen is alive, it shows usb or serial and etc.
As far as i know, there is some diagnostic tests to understand where is the problem. how to activate it?

Diagnostics
Sorry I don't know of a diagnostics test. But you can have a bootloader without a working rom. Since you bought the S100 in a bootloader state, that's very suspicious to me. & that's why I advised you to replace the broken screen on your S110 with the one from your S100.
Hope you can sort it out & if you happen to run across a diag. pls update the wiki with it.
Regards, M

SO how i want to install new rom directly from sd card? the link please?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355832&highlight=SD+flash
but as i said cable is required to make the sdcard with the rom on it
expansys.com have cradles or cables you can buy

but how could i install directly from the sd card? and the link to the rom that could be use?

it's in the thread i linked to
you need a himalaya a cable and a sdcard to make the sdcard
bootable for rom flash

OWHH i still need a cable also ar... cant use card reader aight?

rudegar....
i have a new problem.. my hp was showing just Serial and v 1.03...
how could i go back to my ppc??? i cant do anything with it because my ppc doesnt working at all just showing Serial... help me please anyone!!

no as far as i can read from the thread a himalaya and cable is required
sounds like your hp is in bootloader i would read the manual about how to reset it to boot up normaly
and if the os is damaged how to flash it with a new rom if there are roms for that hp device

so i just need a cable to do it right? n link to the software to update the rom?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaSDcardLayout

im sorry bro, seriously i didnt understand what its meaning.. so what is the cable name?? i just want to buy it from the store tomorrow..

http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=133761

WHY my hima doesnt show usb at the screen?? and my pc showing there are unknown device??? how to solve it?? im in deep problem right now, i just bought the usb cable to my ppc.. any driver to it?

Now My Hima Has Been Bricked Theres No Rom To Be Reload.. And My Hima Cannot Sync With The Pc.. Im Doomed....

If you haven't even flashed your rom yet, there is absolutely no good reason why your device should be bricked. What is it currently doing at the moment?
What is showing on your XDAII's screen?

my xda ii just showing SERIAL and v 1.03.... ill have try to reboot again but theres nothing happen. the serial blinking but still in the bootloader mode. how can i cooked my device? my pc also didnt detect my hima...

It isn't bricked then, not even close. So don't worry about that yet
Simply plug it in to your computer with your cable, don't expect it to recognise what it is. And make sure you have ActiveSync turned off on your computer (if you have it installed which you may not).
Next, leave it a minute or two connected. Then, unzip the rom you downloaded somewhere on your computer, and then run the .exe in the unzipped folder. It may be called HimaUpgradeTool or something similar. It should eventually say it found your phone, and usually it has no idea what rom is currently installed. Then simply press the install button. It should show updating on your computer screen (it generally takes over an hour), and some fancy stuff may happen on your PDA screen.
Once it says it is completed (on your computer screen), unplug your device and Hard Reset using soft reset, Dpad, Camera and Record.
Select the options as follows: (for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
Your phone should reboot, and all will be well in world.

i think that i found what is my problem. i think that my usb cable is faulty because of my computer detect the usb then it shown unrecognised device. then i run the hima upgrade but it shows that there are no device attach. but my battery was heat like it was charging. ill try to change the cable first then ill try it again.

thanks all... my problem was being settle. now i know my problem is.. when i change the cradle i can upgrade my hima. thanks again.

Okay, from begining
Answer in points like I ask you questions
1. Can you enter bootloader? (serial text on screen without backlight)
2. Which Bootloader version do you have? It is written on screen when in bootloader mode at bottom (like 1.03v)
3. If you put your device into crandle (of course crandle is connected to usb in your pc/laptop) do USB text appear in place where Serial text was already?
4. Which system do you use? (Xp, vista, 7, linux, unix, amiga, commodore)
5. Do you have nk.nbf and Upgrade.exe or HimaUpdate(...).exe in THE SAME folder?
6. What happens if you run update application and click Next?
7. Did you tried to run in administrate mode?
8. Do you have x64 system?
9. Do you have himalaya? put out your battery and check if it is written PH10B or PH10A.
10. Did you tried another PC or another crandle?
11. Which rom you want to flash?
Answer here.

HI,

2. v1.01
3. yes USB is displayed
4. windows 7. ( i have XP aswel which i tried and failed also)
5. Yes. Both files in same folder on my desktop.

8. no not using x64 system.
9. under the battery it says PH10B
10. Yes, tried my laptop and also my desktop.same errors on both of them.
11. Ive tried a few ROMs. any ROM will do realy. just want to get rid of windows mobile 2003.
Thanks for your quick replies.
ive updated alot of phones from windows 2003 to windows 6.5 but this 1 is just stubbon lol.
could it be the handset is faulty?
im waiting for another handset to come which is identical but originaly on T-Mobile not O2 like this 1.

sorry for not getting back to you im only a noob 2 things may be wrong sounds like faulty socket on phone or faulty cable/cradle try wobbling the cable gently when connected all sounds obvious but we are talking grandad of mobiles you cannot as far as i know go strait from 2003 to 6.5 i just got to 6.5 if you get a stable connection you have to go 2003se then 5 from there went to swampys blue silk now aeroflylubys hybred 6.5 all running perfect also athers memory program came in handy i used microsoft activsync 4.5 for xp win7 is a brill os but xp did it for me

[Q] Vanilla upgrade failed, USB out on TYTN

Hello,
I've tried to reload my TYTN with Vanilla Rom to resolve the 'no gsm' message on it. During the flash, Usb link is lost and now when I turn on the PDA, I've just the screen above.
Now, the USB port don't work, when I connect the PDA on PC it don't see it. Maybe it is possible to restore it with SD card but how?
Thank you for your help an sorry for my bad english (french...)

Hello,
Nobody coud help me?
Or is that mean than my TYTN is definitely out?
Thanks.

get a storage card less than 2GB, format it and in your PC rename the Signed.nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh. Insert the storage card and put the device in bootloader mode it will start the flash from the sd card

Thanks a lot +QuePPC.
I 've execute your instructions, it better but after bootloader, I have wrote in blue on white screen 'loading', few seconds after 'checking' and finally '00028002' 'not allow'.
After that, the pda return on 4 colored blocs, on the upper (red) there is writting :
in white : HERM200 IPL-1.00
in yellow : HERM200 SPL-1.04
On the lower bloc (white) 'Serial'
When I reset the pda, I have these instructions at the bottom of the screen :
M 05
B 04 No GSM
B 05 D 3.22.0.0
Maybe this malfunction is due to a wrong rom but how identifie the right rom and where found it ?
Maybe it's due to the hardspl not installed but how install it wihout usb connection. ActiveSync don't connect the pda.
Thanks a lot for your help, have a good day.

Hello,
