IQ700

Need help!
I have been messing with this phone for afew days now can't seem to get it to work. When I power the phone on all I see on the screen is green screen that says "IU BUILD! Test Only" this ws the result of a hard reset. The device is sim unlocked but I don't believe it's super cid unlocked. I'm unable to do anything except for hard resets and bootloader screen. I was going to try to reflash the original rom but can't seem to find any, I only have access to the sp3 roms which I can't use since it's not super cid unlocked. Any help would be great!!!

iMate OEM ROM
http://rapidshare.com/files/61129896/SP3_WWE_2.4.33.11.zip
Here is a link to an iMate OEM ROM. Start in bootloader and execute this to see if you can recover your device. You haven't shared much about what you phone is or how it ended up like it is. You are correct that it needs an OEM ROM, then application unlocked then Super CID unlocker before flashing a custom ROM. Good Luck and report back you results.

The phone is a Krome IQ700. In bootloader mode it shows IPL 0.27 SPL 1.01.0109 Typhoon UI. Another problem is active sync does NOT see the phone. When attempting to load any rom I get error 264. I think I might have to load rom with SD the only proble is I've never had to do this before so any help would be great. I could honestly live w/o the phone but I think this would be a great learning expirence. Thanks in advance.

Remove the battery and memory card, wait 30 minutes then re-insert the battery. Hold in the camera button and then plug in the USB. If it is still alive, it will open in bootloader (Red, Green, Blue) mode.

still dead... what do you think happened?

I had this once when my oem battery died. I was able to jumpstart it and get it to recharge using a 9v battery to kick it up from nearly 0V.
If you have a battery meter, you can test the contacts, looking for 4v across the battery terminals (remove battery from phon to test). If you get < 2v then you battery does not have enouge juice to power up.
Once you get power back, do you have the ROM from your OEM? You should be searching for it in the mean time. If I find anything on it, I will let you know as well.

Everything I see on your phone specs appears that it should respond and behave like all of the other Typhoons/Sp3's. As long as you followed the unlocking steps from Karhoe's post (second sticky on typhoon main page), your device should not be a brick. If you recover power, you may want to first flash an WM5 ROM from one of the posts then try to flash WM6 as this is the prescribed method starting from WM2003.

Bricked Hermes (SPV M3100) while flashing SPL - any help or sugestion are wellcomed

All started with trying to upgrade(rewrite) the GSM part because the Hermes had problems with phone part - when trying to call - the phone stop responding, bus the pda part sill worked.
So - I tried and tried and tried again, reading many threads about HARD SPL,Flashing radio, etc. Nothing worked..
In the end "i managed" to kill GSM - phone had "No Gsm" on boot-up.
From there i tried to downgrade SPL to 1.04 so that i try to "raw" rewrite the GSM part.
But something went terribly wrong, and while downgrading SPL, the phone suddently shutdown and never opened again.
Now i have the folowing situation: NO BOOTLOADER, no usb conectivity, nothing
This means that i cannot connect via USB whatever i try.
Is there any hope for me? or is it TOTALLY BRICKED?
Any help is apreciated!! I can even dismantle the mobile if there is any way to flash it via some kind of jtag connection...anything ...

The folks at www.imei-check.com can do the JTAG flashing. Just email them. It would be costly for you to do it yourself...

Are you saying that the phone won't turn on at all or that it does but you can't get a bootloader screen?
Have you tried taking the battery out for a while? Have you tried flashing an OEM rom and radio compatible with your device off an SD card?
All of this info is in the wiki, as are OEM roms you can flash.
Let us know how you get on.
Good luck.

Try this:
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber
5.) Soft Reset

@wacky.banana: The phone is totaly dead: no bootloader, doesn't boot at all, doesn't seem to have any USB conectivity at all. Flashing from micro sd doesn't work : probably because the bootloader isn't working.
@drummer10630: i'll check with imei-chek about jtag flashing, especially the price and shiping costs.thanks
@markafreeman: I tried, but when i put the battery in, the red light goes off, not to amber . no soft or hard reset helps. not even leaving the battery out for 2 weeks - i had tried that too . thanks anyway.
Anything else I can try? - phone totaly dead, no bootloder, no usb conectivity - cannot use mtty, cannot flash from microsd

I had to get a replacement device at that point when it happened to me.
Maybe someone else know a way to get it working.
Good luck.

get onto orange
tell them you dropped the phone
and it crashed and wouldnt turn on
so you managed to hard reset it
and it crashed an ****ed up
they'll replace it
well they will send it to HTC
who just replace the handset rather than repair it

Do a camera power reset and try again.

i tried that and it didnt do anything at all. isnt that just where you hold the end key and the side camera key and stick the stylus into the hole?
if so, it have any different effect than the standard soft reset

Hold down the power button and the camera button at the same time until the tri colored bootloader comes up. If that works, try flashing the stock rom for your carrier.
If that doesn't work try the same steps with the memory card removed.
If that doesn't work try to do a hard reset and see if that will take you to the bootloader.
Also, what are the numbers in on the bootloader...are you sure your device is unlocked? I believe it should say... SPL-00.40.coke... on the 2nd line if your unlocked.

You shouldn't need to connect to activesync to reboot. After you run ImCokeMan's unlocker you should be unlocked until you run it again.
As I said in the last post, all you have to do to get to the boot loader is hold down the power and camera buttons at the same time. This will put the phone into the boot loader and you should be able to flash back to the stock rom and start over.
It kind of sounds like you relocked the phone and then tried to boot a custom rom.

sorry i wasnt saying i needed to connect to activesync to reboot, i was saying i needed to connect to activesync to flash, and it wouldnt boot up so i couldnt get to activesync.
and i did to imcokemans unlocker, and everything went fine. when i was setting up the device (ie. setting password, time zone, calibration, etc...) i just decided that i didnt need to finish that as i was intending on flashing a custom rom anyway, and so any settings i put up the time to set would be erased.
having said that, i went ahead and starting flashing a custom rom right from the wm welcome screen that you get on a first boot.
thanks a LOT for your help, promptness, and attention

So are you back up and running?

well, now i am. i just took a 30 min drive down to the sprint store and got a replacement :S
thanks a lot for your help though, im scared i may really need to refer back to this thread later. but if i do, at least i know i should be able to fix it!
thanks.

well, i just did it again. i must be doing something wrong in the cooking of my ROMs...about to try out your solution..hope it works!!
wish me luck :S :S :S :S

well i was able to re-flash, but, unfortunately, it is stuck in the same "htc smart mobility" screen again. i think i have been able to narrow it down to the oemizer app. i must be doing something wrong in there.
oemizer http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=100746&referrerid=10115
ill keep cooking and trying tonight until i find what it is the problem is i guess, thx for your help guys. especially you 360discgolf.

well, after cooking and flashing too many times to remember this late, all i can do is ask for help when you guys wake up and check this thread.
in the last couple of builds i havent been doing anything with oemizer at all and it still hasnt been working, and i dont think i am doing anything extra in buildos that i havent done before in successful ROM images...it seems sort of erratic.
any suggestions/hints/comments would be great, thanks a lot.

you can't just hold the two buttons and press the reset. You have to hold the two buttons at the same time, then while holding them, use the stylus to hold the reset until it restarts. If you just tap the reset button while hold, it doesn't work.

i'm having a similar problem. my attempt at flashing didn't go over that well and now when I turn off the device, I can't turn it on again unless I do a soft reset. I tried doing the power/camera thing but all it does is ask "are you sure, yada yada" and then the devices turns off. you were talking about a stock rom? where would I get one and how would I re-flash the rom (assuming that's the problem in the first place.).
Thanks!

what carrier are you?
EDIT: also:
1) what os version are you running? (build number)
2) what radio are you running?
3) what bootloader are you on? (can be accessed via holding power + camera button and poking reset hole)
4) what are the orange numbers in the very bottom right of the screen when you are booting up?
these kinds of things all need to kind of jive for the sleep function to work correctly

If you used the imcokemans unlocker a 2nd time, I believe you re-lock your phone.
You also mentioned that you tried to flash the ROM from the Welcome Screen. That certainly won't work. You have to be at the unlocked rainbow bootloader screen which will load when you run the RUU or when you press Power-Camera-Reset. If it doesn't go into bootloader then you've probably re-locked your phone.

Method 1. "Reset by pressing button combination Hold the Volume up and Volume down buttons while pressing reset until the screen shows “Clean Boot”.
And this way
Method 2. Hold vol up and vol down and press power.

seems correct, but to make sure you try to look at http://www.hardreset.eu/acer_s200_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

Thanks once again for your reply and help Hakim
My phone has nothing happening at all it is completely dead, the battery was charged before it went off so i know that is still charged. I can't believe all i done was caught the wire and it came out of my phone while i was updating it to the latest Rom that i downloaded from Acer So will the hard reset still work even though nothing is coming on at all on my phone? The phone at the moment does not even light up Surely it can't be broken all together can it?

please help me, my acer s200 is stuck in clean boot. i need to install a new rom but i dont know how and i dont have a new rom. please help me i need an english rom. my email is [email protected]

I cannot hardspl my phone as it does not go to windows and the jockey's hard spl required active sync or windows mobile data centre connection. Please help me out with the problem. Thanks and regards, Danish

You have to hard reset your phone, but you'll loose all your datas. To do it: turn on the phone and keep pressed volum up+down+end call.

Thanks for the reply. I have had it hard reset many times but it doesn't work. Just a while back I had tried with inserting a custom OS and hardspl file in a stock ROM, which i did but phone refused to flash with the nbh file i created. For stock roms it flashes every time with whatever rom i try to flash withbut then again gets restarted at windows screen.

Then I cannot help you, sorry :/
