Froozen SX56 while upgrading the ROM
Unfortunately my system crashed when i was upgrading my ROM this is for a AT&T SX56 Pocket PC which I wanted to unlocked so that I could use it with T-Mobile SIM card. Now the screen says :
Upgrading
It will take about 5 minutes...
I was trying to upgrade it with the xda-developer rom verison.
I dont have any backup also for this device please help and I do have a SD card and SD card reader also.

If the bootloader not be erased, you could still use SD to restore OS.
If the bootloader already damaged, the only solution is hardware solution.
I can help you to resolve all problems

I do get the bootloader mode when i pressed the power , navigator and reset button on the pda

you can get Xdrit from xda-developers.com (do some search).

I had this stupid RadioStack crash that resulted in GSM ERROR that made my device unable to recharge the battery or run mobile function, so the status now is a ppc which has no phone and should always be conected to AC
when I consulted the Agent service tey claimed it's a motherboard error that would require a new baord, which'll cost me around 300$.
could you please help me!!

Cgaigate, is it possible to restore a corrupt radio stack using jtag, if you have the capability I can let people know.

GSM ERROR - RADIO STACK CRASH
Hi Smiley,
I crashed my Radio Stack, too. Has anyone an idea? Is it possible to repair? By myself?
I heard cgigate could help?
Bye

Yep - "GSM Error" in Wallaby Bootloader 5.15
Anyone got any ideas on fixing this one?
Cheers!

DEAD Mini S! Please helpp....

I just got my Mini S and it is a BRICK! All it does is go straight to bootloader upon booting... So i can't use the updater that's available.
Even if i do a hard reset, it goes straight back to bootloader. Somebody help, please!

where did you get it from?
was it a brick when you got it? if so compain and send it back
or have you done something to make it a brick?

I received it as such, but would prefer to fix it myself- its just different than other smartphones in that you can't load a rom image on it when it is in bootloader.
anyone have suggestions?

somehow get a Rom on to a Mini SD card and restore it thou the boot loader
if you know someone with a Vario then could put a mini SD card in it and back up the rom

Hello timothyadam,
yesterday my "mini s" was also dead (no booting os!), but:
when you are in the screen with the three colors (press Voice and camera Button and then reset) and you have connect the mini s via usb cable (in the left down corner you must see USB) then you can click the exe (imate or qtek prodigy file) and this work.
Regards

I've tried that, but since the K-Jam rom update only works when the device isn't in bootloader, i can't get it to recognize the device...

UNABLE TO HARDRST AND PUT IN BOOTLOADER THE PROPHET (SOLVED)

I recently bought a german QTEK S200 and upgraded to latest Dopod ROM that is available in ftp.
I used lokiwiz and awizard tools to return to an older JAMin ROM that did not work as you very well expect.
Than I realized that I am unable to hardreset or put the jamin in bootloader mode. I am sure that before ROM upgrading I was able to do so; but I am not sure when the problem started. I mean whether it happened before using above tools or not. I am able to upgrade with dopod ROM one after another that makes the device enter bootloader and hard reset afterwards but manually I can not.
The cam and conn man buttons and soft reset all work alone but not in combination. I tried to wait for 5 to 10 sec before I take the stylus out of the hole but nothing changed. Aso the exe file enterbootloader is under windows and when I click it the device enter bootloader. Any comments?
Also is there a chance to have a QTEK German ROM with AKU 1. If so I will try the assumed but not proven method to downgrade to a lower ROM with prophet (which worked with wizard with a custom ROM).
Cheers.
After flashing the same Dopod ROM one after another the device started to enter bootloader :shock: and after a few more flashing the device can be hard reset as well. 8) No need to tell that I very happy

Bootloader mode in PROFHET (JAMin,S200 etc)
Hi ppl.
I suggest you to use cradle with 5V (1A) original charger or give 5V voltage to device externally.
By the way: to get prophet in Bootloader mode u need to hold continuously Cam and Power buttons.But u should do this with 5V (1A) voltage.
Thats all.

Neither with USB cable nor with the external supply the device does not enter bootloader mode by your method.
Also known method (cam button + reset) does not work with external supply as well.

Unable To Hardrst And Put In Bootloader The Prophet
Im not sure if this helps anyway i assume you can get to the OS executing EnterBootloader from an SD card or device memory did take me to the tricolour screen. on an SPV M600

help needed on restoring/reinstalling my tmobile mda compact

please help i have the t-mobile mda compact pm200 and i was removing a cracked version on pocket dos v1.09 from the remove list and it said windows wil need to perform a soft rest yes or cancel i clicked yes and my system restarted but now it just get stuck at the t-mobile screen. i have tried doing the manufatures hard reset but no joy i have take out the battery no joy and i can't even access it through my p.c what can i do to get it up and running again i don't care about the data already on there cuz it is all backed up on my sd cad

When you took out your battery, have you been waiting til the backup battery fully drained out? It takes about 30-60 minutes, better leave a few hours. Try this and post your results...

thank for trying but unfrtunatly it had no effect i tried for two hours then reinserrted it and no joy so i waited a further day but still nothing any other ideas tnx

Is it getting into BootLoader? Then you might try Flashing a new ROM!

how would i go about doing that? my computer won't even recognis3e my phone

I had about the same problem:
I was trying to install the Pocket PC Greek language support (free trial version) from the site http://greek.pocket-pc.penreader.co...der_Greek.html. on my MDA Vario Tmobile when it crashed!! It shows just a white screen and does nothing at all!! I soft and hard reseted the device but after restarting it shows the Tmobile screen and after a few seconds a white screen! Actually I am not so sure that the device is hard reseting because it doesn't ask me for a confirmation of the hard reset. When I startup my device it stops on the same white screen.No windows loading, no other commands accepting, not recognized by my desktop.
Did anybody have the same problem before? Does anybody know how can i get my PPC on working condition again
Thanks dagonist.
I hope somebody can help....

See for ROM upgrades on the forum :wink: if u get some images on the mini then it's not dead! It's just stuck at the bootloader mode, meaning that the OS is somehow damaged.. To solve this prob u must plug the mini into the pc (it will be recognised as an unidentified device, don't worry), then download a ROM upgrade set (u will find these on the net or in the xda-dev ftp). Execute the prog, wait 'till it finished and voila! Ur device will come as new If u encounter problem do a simple search in the forum regards rom - bootloader - upgrade and u willl find a lot of infos :wink:
Hope this helps, MocciJ

Thanks MocciJ.....but my desktop pc doesnot "see" my pocket pc at all!!

:? then it isn't yet in bootloader, is just stuck at the beginning of a broken OS! I mean that it tries to load the OS, but then it gets stopped since he read bad ROM (probably deleted in some way since u encountered this prob removing a prog) try to get it in bootloader mode, by pressing together the camera, power and reset buttons.. U will lose all the things in the RAM memory, but in this case u really can't do anything else.. After entering in bootloader, u can easily upgrade it..
MocciJ

Well, I just tried the camera button+power button+reset button....and nothing happens! It reset and comes back to the same white screen...
Any other suggestions??

well, did u tried to make it correctly? I mean: for entering boot loader u havce to press camera + power, and then reset (with camera and power pressed) if u can't still enter the bootloader, then I'm out of ideas, sorry...
MocciJ

I amdoing it write but nothing happens....

In the screen what can u read? If u read serial (it is barely visible) then see if it turn to usb when u connect the cable: if yes, we 're at a very good point...

When it starts up it shows the Tmobile logo and then for a few seconds :
ipl 1.08
spl 1.08
gsm 01.09.10
(something else...)
after a few seconds a white screen without any letters or anything else.

But I cannot see it anywhere on my desktop pc...

:? I can't figure out how you can get it back.. If it displays images and text, then the bootloader is still alive.. It even tells u the correct version of the complete ROM.. but I wonder why it can't access to the bootloader.. u must search in the forum how to reach the bootloader, but I'm sure of the power camera reset combination; when u can read SERIAL or even better USB on the device, u probably have solved most of ur problems, but chances are that u have even bad clusters of ROM, and cannot be restored with an upgrade (it happened to the External Rom of my mini after a bad upgrade)
I suggest to send it to repairs, before doing somewhat wrong, because if there is an original ROM inside they will repair it for sure, free :wink:
MocciJ

Thanks. The problem is that I got the phone from ebay, from a UK seller, and it was locked to Tmobile. So I don't think that I can ask for a factory/guaranty repair....

seee i tried all of thoose things but i found the main problem was getting the computer to recoginise the thing and the program i put on was a cracked version ( i know i am a naughty boy) so if i send it off they could cause legal problems couldn't it

it depends on what u are meaning by "not recognised" but I assume that windows dosesn't even try to recognise the device (I mean that there aren't bubbles, notifications, or any other changes on the system) for the cracked software, well if u have installed it right into any RAM folder (not in the storage memory) then u can tell the repairing center that ur unit simply doesn't power on correctly.. :wink:

How to Repair Dead wallaby

How to Repair dead wallaby without boot. (Probably dead during rom update cause of low battery).
Now the set cant enter boot mode. When Connecting charger the Yellow led light up and thats the only sign that tells me it still have some life left in it.
I need some experts help in this matter.

same problem
I tried to hard reset my XDAIIs to reinstall every thing as normal.
But I was stuck with a boot lock! the screen just stays withought loading the OS.
I tried to get the lates update from www.my-xda.com, install it succesfully, but still .. looked at boot!!!
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I had a similar problem in that there was an error during flashing. With the expert help of Lumpistefan, I was able to revive my dead Wallaby!! If you can get to the bootloader screen and it says GSM ok, I believe you can save it. You have to download XDATools as well as the ROM version you want to run. (I chose the special developers ROM as it had the auto sim unlock feature during cold boot). Once you have the ROM saved somwhere on your PC then you open the XDA tools (OSI Image tool) and use the .NB or .NB1 file as your source and select your SD card as the destination. Select copy. Once the files have been copied insert the SD card into your wallaby perform a soft reset (power button+soft reset button) and if everything went well you will be prompted to upload the rom. press the action button or center of the key and you should be good to go. Hope this helps and once again very, very special thanks to Lumpistefan for his patience and help!!

As I see, there's no answer to this problem yet.

Please, somebody say something hopefully!
