any help is gratefully received.
i was doing a rom update(pugs) and the unit has become stuck in what i think is bootloader mode. the screen is dark and displays "serial v1.01
after much searching on this forum i tried to hard reset then run maupgradeut again.
problem is that activesync no longer detects my device.
ive tried pressing power/reset/action buttons to no effect.does this mean i now have a pretty coffee coaster.
now you were at bootloader mode. try remove the device n put it back on cradle, for sure windows will detect it. after that, try run the upgrade again. The problem that you're having now are same like me when I first bought my device. The answer is good being a newbies n ready to ask question at here. hahahahah
thanks
now youve hit the nail squarely on the head. i thought i knew enough to update but when its gone boobies up realised i dont.
ive tried resetting the device and then connecting to my pc several times with no success.
anyone know how to take the device out of bootloader mode. im hoping theres a backup stored on the device that will boot...or...anyone know how to get the pc to recognise the damn thing before i launch it out of the window(all the way to an o2 shop).
im sure im not alone(can hear the voices)
took some brain power on my part. turns out microsoft activesync was the problem.
upgraded to the latest version and everything went as it should.
I have Qtek S110 and since yesterday it keeps reseting by itself. Usually when I try to make a call or sombody calls me. I changed the firmware 3-4 times but no change so I guess it is not a software problem. I cleaned the contacts and everything good . The battery is fully charged.
Do you have any suggestions?
same with me few days ago. do you remember, u just installed new software? might be confict, or software is in beta, has bugs.. hardreset, try installing your softwares 1 by 1, test with calling form different phone, untill u find which software make your phone reset.
O2 mini keeps reseting
Hi,
I also have the same problem with my O2 mini. It keeps resetting by itself. Sometimes if i try to play a MP3 file and it resets. I think its a software problem. I took a complete backup and did a hard reset. Then the device worked properly. But after I restored my backup, the reset continues.
Either its a software conflict or its a virus/bug.
Hi all,
my imate-jam does the same. I already tried previously working rom restore but nothing. Now I ordered a new battery since mine is more than two years old. I'll try it and let you know.
Bye.

Any luck?
Hi all,
I have already given you my assumptions that either its a software conflict or a bug. Because after hard reset it worked fine and after full backup restoration, again the reseting started.
Is there a patch available?
I think it could also be shortage of RAM Memory as Magician has always been having Memory Problems.

This is not my case, infact it keeps resetting just after a hard reset without any software installation, i've also removed the phone sim.
I'm still waiting for the new battery that i've ordered...
bye
it's definitely the batter. i already experienced the same problems and my device worked flowlessly again with a new battery.
I had exactly the same issue. A new battery solved this. My battery was 1,5 years old.
Thanks!
Thanks for solving this problem.
One last question. How much would a new battery cost? And is there another company like Energizer making batteries for Magician that would last longer?
Thanks!
Hi,
after changing the battery (bought this one http://tinyurl.com/3yx8oo), the device continued to reset. Then I've cleaned the battery contacts and the little battery cover switch with a contacts cleaner spray and I haven't had any problem for the last two days...
Bye
Hi sassoz, please explain more details. I got new battery but it seem no change.
Thank you.
I had the same problem it crashed whilst making a call and eventually went on a endless reboot cycle. Corrupted contacts could be the problem ( it was with mine, I had restored a corrupted contacts backup). What I did was to remove the batt for a few minutes, put the batt back and hard reset. Later sysnced the contacts thru AS. The problems vanished.
Hope this helps.
Yep, it seem about contact list. But I don't know what is "corrupted contact"? I sync the contact list with my laptop through ActiveSync, but my contact list is OK.
Please explain more details.

Tukhoi, I was using PPC Contacts Backups, to backup (duh!) my contacts on the move. The problem discussed here occured almost immediately after I restored one such backup. To test this further I did a hard reset ( after sorting this issue) and restored the same backed up contacts and voila! the problem came back and went on a continous loop of resets. So I came to the conclusion that the backup of the contacts that I had taken was corrupted. Hope this is clear, sorry if I was vague.
Hi veeru27,
Thanks for your explanation.
I removed all my pst (data file of outlook) on my computer, remove all contact from outlook on my computer. Then I sync PDA with computer. After that, I connect PDA with computer again, choose not to sync contact list. The problem still come back.
I though it's about contact list, then I remove all contacts from PDA, just leave some important contacts. It's OK until now (about 1 day). Hope it work...
Thank you so much.
Well, I was talking about electric contacts, not pim contacts.
So, i changed the battery but I still had the problem. Then I cleaned the electric contacts (where the mobile takes energy from the battery) and the little switch that activated by the battery cover (when you remove it the mobile switch off) with a contacts cleaner spray.
For two days I had non reset but suddendly they started again. I have a suspect that they have to do with electric part and should not be a software issue.
Sassoz,
If you are using Magician / JAM. There is a known problem with the loose battery cover, which causes frequent resets. (even a slight movement in the battery cover causes a soft reset). I simply glued the battery cover hinges to the main panel.Since then no problems. I suspect that the battery cover could be the culprit. Try this if you are adventerous http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Guys,
I need help here, a few days ago, I changed my USB since all of a sudden, the phone can't be charged. Then, after the USB got changed, I am able to charge the Wizard... but the strange thing happened, my comp does not recognize the Wiz, it does not even show any device at all. I tried to do all the stuffs, like:
- install/uninstall Active sync
- update active sync
- restart comp several times
- even hard reset my Wiz a couple times
All of em are not working. Would any of u guys have this problem before? Any ideas why? Is it time to say good bye? =(
do a system restore to a date you know that worked. something happens with the usb drivers and the way the phone talks to the pc, not sure on the how or why. but whenever i downgrade, when i go to install the new rom, it says unrecognizeable, system restore usually does the trick.
I forgot to mention that I did bring it to the repair shop, and all the computers that they have cannot recognize my phone... when they plugged in their USB to my phone, their activesync can't recognize it even though it's charging...
So, I don't think it's the problem w/ my comp. Anyone has any other ideas?
Thanks tho...

Go to this page and get a new PC USB cable or cradle. It may also be the internal USB port on your device.
http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=1809
EDIT:: It could possibly be a virus on your device. I hate to say that but I just remembered that a friend of mine had the same problem when he got a virus on his device. Also, have you ever dropped the device or gotten it wet?
Firstly,i would like to apologise for making another thread with the same topic if there's any.I've searched the forums and most of the threads seem to be 'Dead'.
Last week,my phone had something strange going on.When it's at sleep mode,it automatically lights up.I picked it up and i see this thing called the 'Navi-Panel'.The screen was in landscape mode.The only thing that i can access was the phone.I managed to exit the Navi-Panel through the task manager but the problem's still there,my phone and my SMS are in landscape.Also,the phone calls that i make and received are always on loudspeaker mode.I also cannot connect the phone to the computer via the USB. I've tried various ways to fix the phone such as hard reset and rom flashing but it's still the same.I'm currently on the Stock rom version 1.66.707.1(76641) WWE. Can someone post a solution for my problems?
It happened to me twice when a tiny drop of water dropped on the micro usb slot, creating a temporary short circuit.
Make sure the slot is clean, (no conductor material inside).
It may be a small chance, but it is still a chance...
I have the same problem
My phone got wet last night due to rain. And the Navi panel kept coming up. So I set the option for Navi panel not to have an automatic launch. Thats fine now, but I got another problem to sort through. When ever I pick up a call the speaker is automatically turned ON. Its embarrassing now. I am just hoping its temporary..
If anyone has an idea on how to turn off the automatic speaker on call pick up, pls let me know.. Thanks in advance.
Whats more is: I cant connect to the Activesync now. The phone is charging well though.
I can probably live with that since I can connect through Blue Tooth. Hoever, if someone has any idea on how to turn off the "Auto external Speaker mode", pls let me know .. any registry key ... or any other means.
Thanks in advance.
This happened to me a few months back now on a wet evening, assuming the phone must have got wet through my pocket. Tried everything to fix it, left it to dry out for 24 hours near radiator with the battery out to no avail. But then flashed a new ROM and it started working. (Had to flash the same ROM three times till it started working. Every ROM since has been fine)
Hope this helps.
Thanks .. That gives me a hope. Could you pls tell me what ROM you flashed.. may be its something to do with that specific ROM..
Activesync died...
Thanks all of you who contributed to the forum. My HD2's activesync stopped working yesterday... and main challenge was to put shipped ROM and send it to the repair...
There is only one thing that I could not explain... When OS is up and running (regardless whether it is cooked or shipped) there is no active sync can be established (only charge function is working). However, when phone is in boot loader (RGB screen) I could connect it thru USB and install ROM from computer...
switch off quick sync on HD2

Thanks for trying to help XAH, but this was the first thing in my troubleshooting process. Usually it helps when you plug in the phone, computer acknowledges it, but pop in warning sign that USB device is not recognized. In my case there was no reaction (on multiple computers) - like nothing is plugged in... Will see what repairer says... I'll post an update as soon as I'll hear from them.
got my HD2 from repair centre
I've got my HD2 back from repair centre... and it works fine... most bizzar part is paper say that nothing was done...

Same problem for me, but i've changed 5 diferent rom's and nothing...i will try the airdryer now
Hi Guys
Please could any on help me i have a orange spv m5000 i think i flashed wrong rom killed phone, but have managed to hard reset via, on button plus the two minus buttons and the soft reset hole, but when i press 0 to restore factory defaults i then see the text ( serial and v2.01 ) but phone will not start up, when i plug in usb cable the only thing that shows up in windows is (pocketpc smartphone) in the safely remove hardware on taskbar then i tryed uni_exitbootloader but get error (cannot open usb port) i have stopped activesync usb detection, but still no joy.
is there a way to get the usb port opened or is this phone bricked, Man i hope not i loved this phone and cant really afford to get another (Real hard times!) Man i hate learning the hard way.
I also read somewhere that the phones batterie memory can get curupted and there is a way to fix it by shorting out the pins if any one has that info that would be great as well.
a million thanks for any help any one could give I mean that folks.
if you think you can help would you be so kind as to send me an email telling me howto, [email protected]
again many thanks for any help
Regards
Daz
PS sorry if this is in wrong forum if it is could you tell me where its suppose to go cheers
Try doing Doc format and/or running MTTY
All information can be found on my signature link
Good luck,
Double post!
Thanks orb3000
ill try them out
and sorry about double post really unsure where it was suppose to go.
Thanks again for answering
PPC
Hi Again
tried mtty, says
com1 port can not open
even though i disconnected active sync and usb cable as recommended but still no joy,
i still have the faint serial and version displayed on screen but it seems as though theres no way of finding a connection to the phone,
i havent tried doc format still looking on how to do that but i remember reading about that and i think i will still have same issue as mtty has, weird that in my task bar i can see ppc smart phone in safely remove hardware and yet no prog can get to it.
got a feeling this is a lost cause, sending it in for repair costs the same as buying a secondhand one so whats the point of repair! crap man this sucks
Orb could you suggest a good working rom for my spvm5000 so i could try a differant rom to see if that might make a differance ill try any thing at the mo,
oh well thanks for trying dude.
regards PPC
I would recommend Tomal 8.2, 8.5 or 8.9
