My XDA has suddenly gone dead. On hard reset, bootloader screen (v 5.17) appears and "GSM OK" message is displayed. Please help.
Check that there are no buttons stuck down, if none then I would suggest attemting to flash the rom, is the sim card present, have you tried it without sim? the good news is you have good gsm and bootloader.
Hi. I recommend that you should re flash the rom. Learn how to flash the rom from other post in this site.

My device: XDA O2, with wallaby boot loader 5.17
Tried to flash RSUv1.15(GPRS_421_ENG_O2) into it. Update froze at either 48% or 53%. Tried it 10 times over, while waiting infinitely but the device just auto-booted itself after each froze. Deleted the autorun files from the startup director on the XDA. After which it did not try the update at bootup anymore. Instead the device is now dead :
On boot it just gives a white screen and everything fails / nothing can be done. The device cannot be connected through USB, and nothing on either SD card of MM card will install.
I tried to flash wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 to fix the key problem with 5.17 bootloader but as GSM fails at the bootloader: it just ignores the disk. I tried the patch tool on a SD card and on two other MM cards it does not work on any of them: as the damn bootloader checks GSM first (and gives GSM ERROR)
Also since the device is trashed it does not apper to load its battery, I assume it must be quite dead soon. (is there any way to load a battery on a software-trashed XDA O2??)
I have another fully working XDA O2 at my disposal. That machine is running older version of CE, GSM and 5.15 Bootloader. I tried flashing the OS from that device to the SD card, succeeded in getting it there - but the broken device will not flash itself from the SD card since it has "wrong key", and the patch tool fails to work because the GSM fails before it even checks any cards in 5.17..
The GSM cannot be copied to the SD card from the working device, because copying the GSM requires connecting something called RS232 and running some program nobody has heard of..
Is there anything I can do? I even tried copying the 5.15 bootloader from the working device to SD, and flashing that to the 5.17 broken device: no success, since it fails the GSM at bootloader startup, and the card has "wrong key" anyways.
How can I recover from this?
When you do reply, please reply in full generously abundant and exquisite detail. I am unable to follow instructions such as "just do this and that" if you do give instructions please be very detailed: tell me where to load the files (paste the links) and preferably go step by step through the process.
I have noticed that some other people have this exact same problem. If you give good enough guidance maybe we can create a help file to address this same problem in the future as well.
Thank you in advance!
A further problem with the other XDA
A further problem emerged with the other XDA:
- now it only boots to bootloader, and refuses to power up properly
pressing the power button does nothing. Soft reseting does nothing. Hard reseting does nothing. The only thing that seems to work is pressing the powerbutton+softreseting at the same time == entering the bootloader mode. There the machine passes all tests and seems to be fully functional. however refuses to power up.
I tought maybe the SIM slot is improperly closed, tried closing it better, and manually pressing the switch inside - doesn't work either.
Also tired inserting, taking out, and reinserting the XDA to the cradle, with either the power button pressed at the same time or not (this seems to work sometimes when the XDA O2 in unresponsive) but that doesn't work either.
What to do? how can the device be powered up?
Still stuck with this same situation
Hi all,
I'm still stuck with this same situation. So far nobody has even tried offering any help to me. What can I do? Do you think I should just give up and toss the damn device to the nearest body of water I can see, or what?
look for "repair.zip" in the forum, for some people this helped.

Tried that. That doesn't work since that repair requires that the device works as far as the today screen - my device dies out well before that. As described above it dies right in the start: just frozes up and displays a white screen with a blue bar in top, and after that does nothing, runs nothing, reacts to nothing, etc..
Any other ideas?
I have a dopod p800w and I tried to flash it with Tom_ART_v2.00.02_CB downloaded from here and it is dead. It goes to the initial booting screen and just stays there forever. I have the original ROM from dopod asia and I tried to flash with it thru SD as guided from ur website. When I invoke the bootloader it says searching for sd card and immediatly goes to 3 color bands, then nothing happenes.
I feel like crying now. Can somebody helpme

Help I cannot get my 8525 off the tri colored screen. I have been searching thru these forums but have not found the right combination.
It is set up for WM6 and att
did you press the reset button and it still comes back to this tricolor screen?
if resetting doesnt work, hard reset, if that doesnt work then yu may have to reflash os. My suggestion would be using the sd card method as all you need to do is be in bootloader with a fat32 formatted memory card and the .nbh file of your favourite rom installed on it and renamed to "hermimg.nbh". hope this helps...
stuck in bootloader screen
my phone...said no signal...I couldn't even open the phone pad ....then my sim did not show.....I tried soft resets several time.... nothing would help I noticed under device info it would not show radio version or rom version..... so I downloaded a fresh version or att 6.0 wm.. and tried that to see if it would help... while installing it stop @ 11 percent with error code.262 tried several times and nothing still same thing..... is their hope.... can I install a cooked rom... or is my phone dead I hope not but you guys are the best....can anyone please help......
dr71399, sounds as if your radio has had it... try to fix any bad blocks on your phone with MTTY first(do a search in upgrading for instructions) first then try to flash a radio only rom, if that doesnt work you should do a search for others that have had their radios corrupted and see what is suggested. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but most people find once that happens its a brick, not that you cant flash an os only rom to use as a PDA.
If your phone is still under warranty then try to put the original rom back on and return for warranty but thats all I can think to do... See if a chef can fix up an os only rom for at&t or try to do it yourself.
My phone boots with No GSM displayed on boot and cannot perform GSM functions, and also cant read its own IMEI. Flashed one of schapp's OS to it with no success. I tried a forum post here that explained how to fix it and had some procedure of unlocking the phone, but when it tried to write to the sector for the GSM. it failed at 0%. I was using HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a to do this.
Suggestions?
No GSM Signal and SD card not install
My phone boots with No GSM displayed on boot and cannot perform GSM functions, and also cant read its own IMEI.
pls help....
First try taking out the battery and putting it back in repeatedly until the radio ver. appears on boot screen. If that doesnt work then try doing a hard reset. If that doesnt work then try to do a full official rom and radio flash. It might get stuck at 11% but just keep trying to flash it.
Please help me, my device Dopod 838 Pro start booting with No GSM displayed on bootscreen. No signal and cannot perform GSM functions, what should I do? Please?
