My MDA is dead completely.... during downgrading

I tried to downgrading my MDA from 3.17 (with the latest RSU as well) to 3.14 but suddenly the connection between PC and MDA was failed and the MDA cannot connect to the PC again. The ROM downloading scheme was on the scheme so I then hard reset the MDA to see whether I can get back my OS.
No...it didn't, it just shows some lines on the scheme and no matter how many times I hard reset it, still not working. So I think my MDA is dead now.

Can you still enter the Bootloader mode?
(Hold power button while soft-resetting...)

Unfortunately not.
It only appears 2 empty boxes and a lot of horizontal lines.
Thats the end of this two month's old machine.

Use the SD-card method to get back up and running. See here for details.

Hi,
same problem, but after starting the bootloader (V 5.14) i get a gsm-error.
How can i get my XDA running?

My bootloader version is 5.17. Will running the xdatools against this version ok? Because I read on your site that there's some issues with the 5.17 and up version. Thanks again for the quick reply.

I read a information from http://xda-developers.com/XDAtools/ as below:
"Presently, XDAtools deals with the ROM of the PDA side of your device only, it does not allow you to do anything to do with phone ROM upgrades (which are also called 'Radio Stack Upgrades' or RSU)."
If XDAtools doesn't support phone ROM, how we can re-flash the phone ROM by bootloader v5.17?
Thanks !

I was under the (possibly mistaken) impression this was a ROM problem. If not, the bootloader method will not help (but it won't make things worse either). We have no means of helping people with RSU problems. A number of fixes exist, and from the looks of it, each of these fixes helps a subset of the people in trouble, so try whatever fixes float around in this forum, I guess...
Sorry...

That's OK... thanks XDA developer Peter Poelman for quick reply !
I got one more question, how I can flash the CE ROM from bootloader v5.17 using XDATool. Because, I would like to flash back to O2 xda original PPC2002 before go there for repair.
p.s. I got the original ROM v3.17.3 from Jeff's kitchen and XDATool with Card Reader.
How I can use the SD method to flash back my xda to original PPC2002 ?
Thanks again !

Wallaby won't reset - help

My TMobile pocket pc phone edition (sx-56) won't soft, or hard reset. It hangs on the "welcome to TMobile" screen. There is some red lettered text in the lower right hand corner that says:
G324e4
R6.25.02
4.01.16
When I press the on/off switch at the same time as the hard reset switch I get a tri-colored screen that says:
WALLABY
Bootloader
V5.22
GSM OK
And it will hang on that screen too. Any ideas??
Thanks!

Are you sure? Normaly you enter the bootloader by pressing soft reset and power button. Have you tired a "normal" hard reset? You have to unscrew your pen and put the small pin into the little hole down under the earphone connector. This had to be done twice.

In bootloader mode this is normal too.....

Here you can get further information on it.
If the hard reset do not work for you i would suggest to flash the ROM again. How this can be done could be read here:

A) Plug your phone into your computer via USB.
B) Press the Power and the light button, not the camera.
You should see a faint outline that says USB.
It's now recognized in the Device Manager, run your ROM Update and fix it now.

Where is the "light" buttom? Please.

I had the same problem b4:
try this:
1) plug the usb cable in 1st
2) soft reset the imate (the screen should have a very light "USB" word)
3) run the rom update on the PC
4) after completion, hard reset (press the 2 "-" buttons on the imate) and press the soft reset bottun together.
5) when the screen is re-set, press "X" to exit instead of "0" to go to factory default.

still no solution

only jtag solution can turn on the phone
and i think its possible only in service center

Dead Prophet; Please help!

I dropped the my prophet on the floor. Now its stuck on the boot screen. It doesnt go any further. Looks like a hardware issue. But is there any suggestions which I could try to fix my phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe your cyrstal oscillatior got trouble.

Which "boot screen"? If you can enter bootloader (hold the comm manager button and soft reset) you should be fine. If not it's probably a hardware issue.

Hi, Thanks. I tried your method and successfully completed the falshing. But the phone still gets stuck at the boot screen which displays "Qtek" on it and doesnt go to the today screen. I cannot turn the device off either. I have to take the battery out to turn it off.
