Avoid hard reset after bootloader ? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

How can I avoid a hard reset in Himalaya bootloader ?
While entering bootmode all data are available.
They are all deleted, because some kind of flag
tells the MDA2 in bootmode to make a hard reset (???)
Thank You very much for any hint, Karl

I have not found it yet, but it should be possible, if you run the upgrade tool, with just the radio upgrade, it usually does not cold boot after returning from the bootloader. so looking at how the upgrade tool switches to the bootloader should give a hint.

which upgrade tool do You think is good for t-mobile MDA2 ?
(it must be one which works in bootmode)
Can You please tell me, where I can download it ?
Thank You for Your help, Karl

Dear all
i just have regitered over here after i tried alot with shop's over here to change the language of my T mobile MDA from GER to ENG
i searched all the forum to find out where i can get ENG ROM and the correct way to falsh it with USB cable ... am not expert to flash it in bootloader mode
Can any one help me please out here ?
Thanks in advance for all
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ - all versions, languages + couple of nice progs that can be optionally included straight in ROM - make your RAM free! :lol:
Thanks alot bob190cm but am looking for the orginal latest version for my PDA
Thanks man for your effort
tmobile's uk site would prob be a good place to start looking
2 sunpower:
Actually, if you unmark "Add software and modify ROM" option, you get the original ROM - 4.01.16 ENG is the official T-Mobile release of WM2003...
Man i downloaded the 2003 ROM and tries to upgrade my PDA but it killed it ... ActviSyn does not recognize it any more
what do i have to do now do i have to try the bootloader way ?
if yes what do i need to do it and how ?
Have a look around that forum.
Now I can tell you this: activesync will not recognize it - simply try running the update again. If doesn't help - see forum for exact instructions how to run the SD update.
PS: what actually happened?
I made a 2003 rom for my XDA I T mobile device i tried to upgraded it but it hangs up and a mseege appared asking me to soft rest my device and try the operation again ... now ActiveSyn not connecting to the device and i dont have an SD my Bootloader is 5.25 is this loader is bad ?
Please advice.
Thanks
i forgot to ask you what is soft reset and hard reset ?

A softreset is a restart of your device. You do it by putting your stick in the little hole down on the left side.
A hardreset performs a blank installation of the System stored in your Rom. All applications an data installed will be lost. You can do this by unsrewing your stick, putting the top in the little hole down on the right side, wait for about 60 sek. and do this again....

You guys are wonderfull :lol: i got my XDA back by bootloader method .....

Cannot access my Bootloader - HELP!!!

Hi eveyone!
I've tried to upgrade my XDA to WM2003 (4.01.16 ENG form T-Mobile). Now I cannot access to my bootloader and GSM doesn't work.
Is there any chance to fix my XDA? Is there any softawre to restore bootloader?
I would be really appreciate for help.
Tom
if the bootloader is broken then
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAtools
look at the first picture
Do you think it'll work, even though I cannot connect via Activ Sync???
what do you get when trying to access the bootloader screen ?
Nothing, beacuse I simply cannot access bootloader. When I do soft restart with holding the power button, it doesn't bring me to bootloader screen.
Is it possible that I had deleted Bootloader??? How can I restore it?????
Please help me, beacuse I can't afford to by a new device.
I do appreciate every hint.
Regards
AFAIK device still works so there is a possibility to upgrade it by copying sth into device using MMC or SD card. If I feel right about the reason of problems mensioned above he have to change Radio Stack and he can do this by MMC transfer and exe method. Maybe some of U can provide some link to working RS with good readme included...

Yes, if you still can sync with your xda, run the fixbootloader.bat from \xdatools\binaries on your PC

Atom Pure GSM Signal Problem ! Help !

I recently have been given a 2nd hand Atom Pure, but when i insert any valid simcard, the atom won't get a signal.
I don't know if locked or unlocked, but I didn't get any warning like " Invalid Simcard " or something else, the atom just can't get any signal ( tried 3 different simcard from 3 different operator )
Anyone have any idea to repair it ? maybe reflash the Radio part ?
I have simmiliar problem with old Qtek smartphone which can't get off the "Flight Mode", tried reflash it didnot work, sent it to warranty and come back healthy ( the seal did not even teared, so maybe it can be done via software ?? )
I can't send it to warranty, cause my friend give it to me from out of country, and I even didn't know that my atom still in warranty period or not.
Please help, It would be a waste if I can't get the GSM part work again

I've read above link you gave me, but it seem all the tools must be used in healthy state or at least can enter in to bootloader mode. while mine can't do anything, stuck in update utility screen (tried all button combination known to man)
I found a way to enter in bootloader mode, but when enter bootloader with mini sd inserted (dummy) it says "Start downloading". what I'm asking which way downloading proccess ?? atom to SD or SD to Atom ?
I found WM5 tool for dumping rom, it not specified for certain device. If I enable to dump healthy image rom to SD (from another and the same version rom of Atom), Is there any way that I can flash it to broken atom without in boot loader mode ??
I will keep reading above link you give me, I will be waiting your next suggestion and help.
Thank you so much.

Found a way, use rec + camera + reset button.
In DM mode choose Exit DM, and my Ayom live again !!!!!!
BUT, Can't find any GSM in Wireless Setting, WTF !!!!!!
Tried to reflash it again
Thanks
reflash it in normal mode, result GSM gone. reflash it second time in bootloader mode, result good, GSM setting come back, but still can't find any signal ?!
Do I get GSM hardware error ?? or something ??
Thank you
there's a Selftest app. in the programs group, should use it to see what result will return after a GSM module test.
Already did, Self test in program menu and in Diagnostic menu. All result OK.
Just can get signal, I can't make Emergency call either.
Opened the Atom, Antena ok, all seems normal.

Warranty got back my device back to life
Hi I bricked my device a few days back and tried all the stuff to bring it back to lifee but in vain... I finally gave up my trials and approached the service centre. They just replaced the motherboard inside and luckily everything seems fine now. They hadn't charged me anything as it was within warranty. Anyone in India if you need service centre address..

Though this site says HTC, I got my Dopod C800 serviced there...
Very few questions and cool guys.

Now I think that the reason of non flashing, even with official RUU, could be corrupted CID-block after using HardSPL on devices with low IPL/SPL. I've read thread about similar problem with Wizard. The question is: how to restore the CID block in our bricked devices? I'm not even sure if this theory with CID-block is a reason...
What do you think about such a trick:
- Run RUU on someone's working HTC device but only until the moment, when it wants you to click the last button to finally proceed with flashing. (This step is to let RUU to know that this RUU is correctly dedicated to our device). It's a kind of fake for RUU, cause our CID doesn't match the CID of ROM included in RUU.
- Next disconnect working device from the USB and connect your bricked device with launched bootloader mode
- Next click the final button to launch flashing in RUU application. If the process of CID matching was done before this step, the flasher should start and let us flash our bricked device. But I'm sceptic to this solution. If it was so trivial, everyone could flash his device with different ROMs so easy...
I can't try this trick cause I don't have working HTC. What do you think? Will it work or not?

D'you mean
working Herald or any HTC?
I have the same prob
I'm thinking about working device, exactly the same as this bricked one - in this case Herald. But all of this is only a theory. I don't have enough knowledge about the RUU flashing process.
My another idea is to swap only ROMUpdateUtility.exe, rapitool.exe and EnterBootloader.exe files from official RUU dedicated to your bricked device, with different versions of these files from another HTC devices just to test if it helps to recognize our bricked devices by RUU. Maybe the problem is wrong version of these files? But which versions are correct?
I'm just trying to find a solution to unbrick our f.....g Heralds . I know this is only a matter of time and soon or later we will know what to do. Moreover I believe that there are people, even on this forum, who know how to unbrick our Heralds but some of them don't want to do us a favour. I know what I'm talking about...

i think we can manage it via bootloader commands
i know.. i know
(at least our devices run bootloader mode, is recoverable!)
it can be flashed by SD? how?
Welcome to the club...
As far as I know, SD flashing doesn't work because of the CID-lock.

unlucky buying...

hey...
i hope you guys can help me out.
my problem is ,that i bought an herold witch is stuck in the bootloader !
the need little stripes won´t dissapear by any type of reset.
there a so many threads that stroke that a bit... but none only for that specific propblem...
i don´t know by witch method the thing was flashed so i can´t help you there.
i hope
and yes i tried the search
so thanx in advance
You could always try flashing the original ROM. They can all be found here:
http://rapidshare.com/users/5EWZ4
If that doesn´t work it would be helpful to know the SPL version, I can´t tell by the picture the numbers are too small.
OH my god !!
Thx a lot ! for tha fast answer....
but i can try it in a few days....
will post the result then
thx
from looking at the picture you included, I can see your IPL is v1.xx
There have been many people who have permanently bricked their phones by trying to hardspl and uspl ... so make sure you do some research before attempting to do those..
If it goes to bootloader automatically, and it has an SPL of 1.x, it's probably already permanently bricked. Your only option is to bring it to a repair center. Sorry.
i will be back next week on tuesday i think ... then i can look witch spl i have.
hey. and thx for your help already
i am pleased for every hint you have for me !!
could that be a solution for me too ??? ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1911779
ok...
my SPL is 1.08.0001
IPL the same
i am now trying to reflash the original firmware... lets see...
hm...
invalid flashingtool.... error 300 ????
it says i need a newer flashingtool...... WHAT !!??!?!
i now figured out that it is an italien device.. but the italien firmware also didn´t work...
do anyone has an idea ??? PLEASE....
Like I said, if it's stuck at bootloader and has that SPL, it's probably permanently bricked. Either the Radio or SPL or IPL was accidently overwritten. I was researching and found something that maybe be useful if it's the radio being overwriten but don't have the knowhow to port it to the Herald... yet.
hm...
i just tryed : 1. Kill ActiveSync process - wcescom.exe on your computer.
2. Attach USB-cable to device.
3. Run programm from attach, select "\\.\WCEUSBSH001" from
port's list and click Ok.
4. Type (type himself, not copy/paste) in window:
password BsaD5SeoA(press Enter)
ruurun 0(press Enter)
ResetDevice(press Enter)
and after a hardreset..... the screen went green....so... Step forward or did i now find the perfekt brick procedure
what means a greenscreen ?? btw
so now back in rainbow-mode
is there a way to CID unlock the thing with PUTTY
short before it enters bootmode it displays "searching for sd-card"
flashing from SD-Card ??? possible ???
