you all have proberbly heard this problem before but i am new to the xda scene i recently tried to upgrade my radio stack from o2 and it crashed halfway thru now my xda has a gsm error on the bootup menu 5.15 when it turns on i get the windows screen(the one with the field) but the stylus wont work because the screen isnt configured i have a 256meg memory card
please help!!!!!!
Sorry for that Dranny, many people has the same problem, it seems the way out depends on which part of your system files were damaged, some people managed to solve it by removing the battery and re-installing it after a while, some found the battery fuse damaged, some also (as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4123 ) managed to repair it. The rest of us, didn't succeed yet. Hope you have a better luck than some of us.
There is also a Canadian member here who says he can Flash the device, I think he does it for a fee, well, it is his right of course, but for me, I'm taking it as a challenge. I don't need my damaged XDA, so to me it is only to learn how to do it.It also seems that service centers can flash it for you.
Best of luck mate. please if you had luck with it, post it as this will give more hope to the rest of us.
i phoned o2 today and luckily its still under warranty
thanks for your comments

Please help if you can this is my first post on the site I had a look to see if anyone ells has had the same problem but did not se anything I understood to be the same.
I have been offered a XDA that has these symptoms and have decided it’s best to ask the pros before parting with £120.00 of my hard earned cash.
The information given to me is this:
“I decided to upgrade the ROM It all seemed to be going well then it just stopped loading and now the XDA wont do anything and the screen just says “UPGRADING IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 5 MINUTES” WARNING NOT TO REMOVE CONNECTIONS”
I will do my best to get additional information if required
Thanks for the time.
WOP
This is a typical situation of a failed ROM update ...
Can you get the bootloader screen (power + soft reset) ? and what version you read (5.15 , 5.17, 6.22 .... etc)
If you can get the bootloader screen with "GSM Ok", the chances are high that you can get this XDA working again using SD flashing method.
Try to get back with more info.
It is probably a good xda. All you probably need is an sd card and this forum. But meanwhile press the guy a little more. 100 will not be such a bad idea.
is £120.00 for an XDA good if it works?
I have emailed the chap with the request and am awaiting a reply from him :?:
I will also try and get the extra £20 off thanks for the hint :lol:
But let me make sure I have this write can you damaged hardware on these items when playing around with the software:?:
Or can you simply just reinstall all the software and drivers like a PC :?:

The answer is YES!! ... you can read many stories here about people ended up with a nice $200 worthy paper weight!!! ... but being carful it can be a joyful experience
This is the latest saga to this story
I am officially a real member now as I have paid out my £120.00 for this xda and now the fun really begins
Because I have no idea how to fix it
I was asked to check if it did certain things and the answer to that question is yes the information I have is this bootloader page displays GSM OK
And we have V5.15 installed I hope this means something to someone out there in the XDA world.
If you would like to help me be gentile as I am still virginal when it comes to these things but I have some PC experience and am willing to make an ass of myself
Please do not lead me in the wrong direction as Biso007 says you can read many stories here about people ended up with a nice $200 worthy paper weight!!! And that’s not good
Get yourself an sd memory card and a memory card reader writer, download xdatools, go look at www.yorch.net or http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ have a good look around the site before trying anything. I was going to buy that xda but he stipulated "no returns" so I gave it a miss, I think it will probably be ok but I was a bit puzzled as to why the guy didnt fix it himself.
How when why and where
These are the questions I will problem be asking for a while I have received the item and in its normal mode it has lines all over the screen with two rectangular boxes going long ways across the screed these are clear.
I have done a hard reset and have it shows this wallaby bootloader v5.15 on a white red green and blue screen at the bottom left hand side it has GSM OK when you hit the action key it runs some tests I collated this information most thing got the thumbs up but some did not SIR RX error and RTS-CTS err come up and froze the system.
Can this one be fixed or do I have a door stop.
If it cam be fixed Can I download the XDAtools on this site?
If you pass your mouse over this link xdatools you will get a box pop up, scroll down and click on download, use the sd flash method and good luck.
can i :?:
Hi cruisin thru
Thanks for the directions you have pointed me in found the tools and have down loaded them.
As I have a working XDA and an sd card available to me buy no card reader/writer available at the moment is it possible to download the correct files from a working XDA to one that is not working via an sd card or the cradle or some form of direct link?
regards[/b]
Yes. You can dump the rom from a living XDA to an SD card via the bootloader. However there is a caveat. The living XDA may suffer a hard reset, so you must ensure a full back up. Put your SD card, preferably 64mb into the living XDA, go into the bootloader and when you get GSM OK hit the upper left button (Calendar Button) and select CE Rom to SD. Leave the system until it is completed. Then pop your SD into the dead XDA and enter the bootloader the usual way. If your card is okay, the rom should be recognised and you will be prompted to download rom. Follow the instructions, the rest is easy. Good luck.
back in a tick
Sorry I have not got back to you in a bit I was waiting for my sd card to arrive from the USA.
I think I got quite a good deal just over £40 including P&P for a 256 what do you think?
I will try what you mentioned in the last post and once I’m done I will let you guys know how it went.
Any last minute advice from the professionals out there?
O my god
What can I say I now have 2 working XDA’S with loads of memory that will let me put any sim card in and I
thank all those that helped me to solve this problem and those that set up this fables site well done to you all
I have one more question to ask?
:twisted: WHAT CAN I TRY NEXT :twisted:
Hello!
So, a brand new MDA Compact, and a weird problem.
Sometimes, when I 'switch it off' via the Power button - it stayes switched off?! :?
Simple as that - the only way to turn it back on is to do a soft-reset... :shock:
The signal LED blinks just like everything is OK...
I tried with 4 different ROM combinations, from 1.06 to 1.13, nothing helped...
Does anybody have an idea what to do with it?
BTW,
which ROM did you find the most fastest, most stable etc.?
Thanx in advance.
Someone must do a sticky or a FAQ topic for this sort of prob that so many people are starting to encounter.
If u do some experiment on ur compact, u can easily see that the device isn't waking up only when is COLD (I believe that there is some heat-sensible contacts inside that prevents unit to power on) this may seems strange, I thought I was the only to had this prob, but I am seeing more and more of this.
Sorry, but unless u want to manually open the whole thing and try to repair for urself, u're better getting it to the nearest repairing center.
If u do so, remember always to install the original ROM, since they can say that is a software manomission problem and will sending u back the device with no warranty (they already did it with me: but I can't believe that I regained the warranty simply putting it the original software and sending it in the same repairing center; before they asked me 275€ for mainboard, now they repaired it for free!!!)
So here is it. I've passed a winter with the unit always in coma. Send it to the repair center, say that it doesn't power on when cold and they will repair it..
Good luck! MocciJ

So you say there's no other solution then to take it to the service center?
Damn!
Anybody have an original ROM that came with the Croatian T-Mobile MDA Compact's?
CE ROM in it was 1.06, I am sure of that, but where to find ExtROM that was used here?
As far I know, this is the only possible solve, unless someone decides to open the magician (voiding the warranty) and see what's wrong on it.. For the ROM: u have to install at least a rom with same brand and language of the original; u're better try first at the ftp before searching on the net..
Hello everyone
RE: XDA EXEC/QTEK 9000
I have recently updated my sofware on the O2 website and after following the instructions to the letter the screen will just show a mess of green and red dots all over the screen in vertical sections?
I have tried a hard reset soft rest and all the other posible resets i can do but still this screen wont go away?????
Please help if you could suggest anything
Thank you
Shepshed2000
ME TOO!!!
I have had exactly the same happen to me, it appears that O2 are total amateurs when it comes to supplying ROM upgrades. not only that but you will find that the support no. on the site actually takes you nowhere. I sent mine back to the supplier and after trying to reflash the ROM they were unsuccessful and so i am now waiting on a new XDA. Dont bother with O2 as they were no help at all to me, firstly i couldnt get through at all and after 2 weeks of emailing them every day i got a response telliung me how to put the unit into boot loader mode (no help at all!!!!!)
Good luck to you in getting this issue resolved, i only hope that you have it insured like myself.
Once again O2 you are indeed crap!! thanks for the service that i didnt recieve, altho i pay way over the odds for this otherwise worthy handset.
£££££ what does it cost to repair? £££££
my phone is using a vodafone sim card and i bought the phone off ebay so reciepts etc are nowhere
will o2 still help me fix this ?
do you know how much it will cost ??
or am i best to throw it in the bin
plz reply soon
thank you people
Dear XDA Forum members,
Need you help . I purchased a new Imate JASJAM after few days of using the PPC , i noticed a strange thing happening on my phone. All the application just closes automatically . when i open any apps it just closes within seconds , i am just able to receive calls and no other functions work . I took it to the imate service center couple of times now but after they handed over the phone to me , the problem persists after using the phone for 2 days . It seems very strange to me . Request your help/suggestion and solution to control this problem so that i can use the PPC again without any problems
What did the service center tell you was wrong with it?
And have you tried just doing a system restore?
Hi,
The service center restored my mobile device from WM6 to WM5 as it was not compatible, earlier they thought it was an software issue and then the hard ware was also checked but to no avail. after sometime of working on the ppc , the programs just closes immediately within seconds of opening.
It should run WM6 just fine, they also have a wm6 rom for your device so that should tell you somthing.
sounds like they didnt know what was wrong with it.
Tell them your unhappy with it and you want a replacment, thats if u havent unlocked it>
Or maybe someone else here willl reply with a better solution.
To me though it sounds faulty
Seems your not the only one with issues with this phone
did a quick google search
Well the phone is not under any warranty , checked lots of links in google but never helped . Just hopes somebody comes out with a solution . Already have paid enough for service of the phone at the service center .....pls help

If you got the phone from a legit source it should have had some type of warrenty at one time. And if so was it in for repairs during that period. Just asking cuz thats your proof that the problem was never resolved and they should still provided you with a replacement.I could be wrong but Id look into it more.
anyways hope you get this resolved...Good luck

Ok, real long shot. We have several Jasjams. One of our Jasjams had an issue with a broken OK button (near the scroller). The button just stopped working altogether. Is it possible that yours has lost it's click and it keeps pressing ok, shutting the programs? If that's the case, see if it's possible to reset the function for the broken button in the settings.
Hi there, what ver of WM6 you upgraded to? the ok button theory seems true, but just tell me what WM6 did u use? did u try 1 Version only or you tried many?
if you think this is a OS problem, try upgrading to Schap's 4.22 or TNT.SE, these are the best two versions ever, i am using Schap's on my JASJAM and its just perferct wihtout flaws, try installing it and see what happens with you.
jasjam warranty
if you bought it from a legit place and haven't put any cooked roms on you should be able to get it replaced if it goes bung in the first month. the store should replace with no questions asked if there is a problem that they cant resolve..... imate also has a years warranty on new phones so you should be able to send to them and be fixed AT NO COST TO YOU (excluding postage).
suggest taking back and if they say theres no problem test b4 taking out of the shop. all the help i can give, Cheers.
Hi everyone.
This is my first time in xda and i am here posting because i have a problem with my htc elfin.
I bought the phone from e-bay. The seller told me it was unlocked but in fact it wasnt. It was on Orange and i had to unlock it using a program i bought on ebay (latter i saw it for free online ). The program was designed for htc elf but i was told it would work. Well, in fact it did, but i have a problem... The phone easilly loses network and even when it was network it wont make or receive calls... Texting works ok... I really dont know what to do... Can anyone help me??
Best regards
Hi,
Well, I hate to break the news to you, but it does kind of sound like the phone may be broken... two things you could try anyways:
a) Perform a hard-reset: Switch off your phone, keep both phone buttons pressed (green&red) and switch it on. The out-of-box state will be restored and all your data will be erased (!). So backup your contacts before doing this.
If this does not work, then it is highly likely that your phone has some sort of hardware-issue. But you may still want to try
b) Upgrade the firmware of your phone (including the radio part!). Just look around in this forum, there's basically everything you need. Always pay close attention to the how-to-guides & make sure you proceed exactly as decribed there.
Good luck,
murosama
Hi
I tryed what you said. Hard reset made nothing but updating rom did... I his working better but not perfect... Maybe some antena problem dont you think?
