i was installing an RSU yesterday & mistakenly the mobile reseted on 10 % ofcourse i lost my GSM but i get the splash screen then 3 or 7 min later i go into today screen & i can access it through activesync (Good news i think) now after that i tried vertually every RSU up/downgrade i know but it keeps getting stuch on 1%, so any advices, would reintalling my Win CE help?
RSU is not OS
Reinstalling WM wont help... try to search forum for solution, many topics about this ...
playing with RSU is not good idea
learnt my leson heavly , i had to pay 60$ to fix it, thank goodness it only coasted that :evil:
Latest update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=363228#363228
Let me first say: I am unsure if my SIM is now unlocked and if it has a CID check. Therefore I'm unsure if the info in the related topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62496 applies. Therefore I'm posting this new topic.
I recently got a Orange SPV M600 which as far as I understand is a HTC Prophet. I am totally new to PDAs but wanting to use it with my T-Mobile sim and with a fair amount of computer knowledge on board decided to unlock it myself using imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
I ran the program and it said the sim was succesfully unlocked. However when I tried to power on the device after that, it was stuck at the 3 color screen only displaying the values:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
This gave me quite a scare because the device is brand new. Soft and hard reboot bring me back to the same screen. This morning I tried running the tool again and the unlocked failed giving me a message that key / imei do not match. After rebooting it now also shows the value RUU at the upper right corner of the screen.
I read some of the posts on this forum and did a little research on Google. I think I know what my next steps should be but I'm terrified to toast my M600.. I already fell in love with it! Could you guys give me feedback before I try the following?
* Download and unzip:
xda:[email protected]/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip
* Follow the steps on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Should that work?
PS: what does the RUU value mean and why did it appear after my 2nd try?
Thanks in advance guys!
Have you tried contacting IMEI-check's support?
RUU is. IIRC, radio unit upgrade and it should not have appeared.
Don't flash the rom, you might need to send it back to orange / HTC and there is no official orange downloadable rom as yet so if the device boots to 'dopod' or whatever they'll know you've messed with it. If the key does not match sounds like the unlocking has screwed your imei. Does the IMEI the app now recognises match the one you paid for the unlock for or the one on the back of the unit/ box?
Richard
IMEI-check support:
The unlock has nothing to do with your device problem. You say yourself that it already turned on directly to 3 color screen after you switched it off (sometimes this happens due to problems in HTC flash driver). For a firmware flash you don't need Orange. You can do this on your computer at home.
Both the soft and the hard reset bring me back to the same 3 color screen..

I do not think it co-incidence that you are doing a flash operation ( unlocking) and now the device will not boot. It should reboot after unlocking according to their documentation and if it went to the tri-colour screen something was amiss after the unlocking then, quite possibly becuase of it. The unlock completed succesfully the first time then?
Don't flash the dopod rom, if the IMEI now has a mis-match you may need to send it back to orange for repair / reflashing. They will be able to tell if there is a dopod rom on there and may refuse warranty - I wouldn't mention the unlocking if I were you. There is no official orange rom you can try :-(

I do not have a receipt for the phone.. is the ROM at least the one I should try if I do try one?

In the UK at least you do not need a receipt for the phone - it is based on seriel number.

Once you have tried flashing the other roms they can tell you have been flashing it and may not give warranty service, but hopefully all it really needs is a rom anyway. My warning is just in case it is not the rom that is the issue and you need to send it back.
When you run imei-check's app now what IMEI does it give for the device?
Richard
Good question, I just checked and the IMEI in their tool gives me the same one as I wrote down before the operation. It is the same as on the box and as the one I payed for to get the key for and used the first time around.
I hoped the flash would solve my problems and I tried flashing the M600 with the ROM mentioned above. 100% completed and all looked good until the reboot.. Again it will not go further then the tri-color screen with the exception that the SPL version has changed:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Anything left to try?

Get back to IMEI-check and ask for more help? They may claim that the unit was faulty before unlocking but if so how could the unlocker run? Or try posting at www.modaco.com to see if anyone there has any ideas.
Which country was the device supplied in? Did you check the seriel in the link I gave? If it's from the UK you could send to a friend or collegue to return under warranty without paperwork ;-)
Sorry.
Richard
Well at least we made progress, a hard reset now let's the device boot but.. after I went through the settings I pressed start and it automaticly powered off.
I then inserted my T-Mobile simcard and rebooted again to find myself in the tri-color screen. Another hard reset once again let me reboot but during the boot of Windows Windows it says 'Data crashes. Please contact your service center.'
Where in the Netherlands do you live?
I have succesfully dopotted two M600 phones and I have had one repaired by Orange, for broken speaker. They did not seem to care that I flashed it to dopod.
I might be able to help you out on this one.
send me an e-mail on [email protected]
Thanks,
Robin

How did they try to unlock it?
Richard
hi
i couldn't speak to the guy who tried to unlock it, i spoke to his collegue and all he could say is that he tried to unlock by logs
now he couldn't tell me what did he use
i have tried to hard reset it but it comes back on that screen
:? :? :?
Try to load the no id DOPOD ROM.
This one will install when the M600 is in that 3 colour screen.
I did it and it worked for me.
I tried to CID unlock with a tool that contained a specific WARNING NOT TO USE for a certain ROM version, which of course I did anyway.
The warning was correct. My M600 was stuck.
By reflashing I resolved the problem.
You can always bring it back to Orange and claim that this happened after you've let the battery go dead; you did not get a chance to charge on your 1,5 month holiday ..........
Good luck!

I recently have been given a 2nd hand Atom Pure, but when i insert any valid simcard, the atom won't get a signal.
I don't know if locked or unlocked, but I didn't get any warning like " Invalid Simcard " or something else, the atom just can't get any signal ( tried 3 different simcard from 3 different operator )
Anyone have any idea to repair it ? maybe reflash the Radio part ?
I have simmiliar problem with old Qtek smartphone which can't get off the "Flight Mode", tried reflash it didnot work, sent it to warranty and come back healthy ( the seal did not even teared, so maybe it can be done via software ?? )
I can't send it to warranty, cause my friend give it to me from out of country, and I even didn't know that my atom still in warranty period or not.
Please help, It would be a waste if I can't get the GSM part work again
BTW, the ROM 20060426B1WWE.
Thank you
did you tried to reflash ROM?
No, not yet.
I'll try it, as soon as I finish downloading, I'll post the result

I've read above link you gave me, but it seem all the tools must be used in healthy state or at least can enter in to bootloader mode. while mine can't do anything, stuck in update utility screen (tried all button combination known to man)
I found a way to enter in bootloader mode, but when enter bootloader with mini sd inserted (dummy) it says "Start downloading". what I'm asking which way downloading proccess ?? atom to SD or SD to Atom ?
I found WM5 tool for dumping rom, it not specified for certain device. If I enable to dump healthy image rom to SD (from another and the same version rom of Atom), Is there any way that I can flash it to broken atom without in boot loader mode ??
I will keep reading above link you give me, I will be waiting your next suggestion and help.
Thank you so much.

reflash it in normal mode, result GSM gone. reflash it second time in bootloader mode, result good, GSM setting come back, but still can't find any signal ?!
Do I get GSM hardware error ?? or something ??
Thank you
there's a Selftest app. in the programs group, should use it to see what result will return after a GSM module test.
Already did, Self test in program menu and in Diagnostic menu. All result OK.
Just can get signal, I can't make Emergency call either.
Opened the Atom, Antena ok, all seems normal.
Hello
First I am many sorry if repeat but I still not know what I can do. I buy mobile and I thing is Type 2b (still on operator logo) but I don´t know how I can find solution, because I tryed flash with many roms and I tryed latest radio rom and everything done but when is finish it restart and than is still in orange logo (or HTC and etc). and about two seconds show NO GSM.
I have SPV m3100 with SPL-1.40.Olipro.
PLEASE help me I cant find solution !!!
Many thanks and many sorry if repeat threat
Try a hard reset. You DON'T have Hard SPL on your phone. It may be unlocked but it may not be Supercid. The best idea would be to flash the original carrier rom on to it and see if that fixes it THEN flash Hard SPL on it.....
Good Luck...
Its possible you may not be able to recover your radio rom...
Hello,
Thank you, but I tryed originall shipped rom and original rom from orange site. Everythings done fine. I tryed also radio rom and it done OK. I dont know what I can do.
Please can you send me links for there roms which I can flash?
I wish I can repair.
Thank you in advance.
If the shipped rom fails you are probably looking at a permanent brick. There are some other things you can try using MTTY but it may not be hopeful. This is one of the pitfalls of buying a "bricked" phone. It may not be fixable and you spent $$$ that could've been spent more usefully elsewhere...
Hello,
thank you for reply, and how I can use there MTTY and when I start it it is like other working pda and it flash led lights, only for second, like when you flash new rom and when start and then it flash light and then screen change for "tap on screen" but here only flash and dont change screen.
Do you know what I mean?
Does it say "tap on screen to setup"?
If so you may be looking at a bung digitizer. You will need to replace the LCD to fix this.
Hello,
no, it is only like it, it stay orange logo, but when "blik" "NO GSM" it blik all display and than stay in orange logo too
Do you thing if JTAG help me?
can't say, never used. You do need some technical skill to use the Jtag method...
yes I have some technical skills but I dont have any schematic of jtag cable.
EDIT: I find some pdf with two schematics:
1. Holly Gates' Schematics for the JTAG Dongle
2. Modified Schematic for the JTAG Dongle Circuit Using 74LS541
Which can I use?
I am seriously needing some light shed over here please some one i have been hunting and hunting, I even wrote a post to try to get help please help me so if any one else needs any help like this I may be able to help them also.
My phone was going through a flash when it restarted it got "Bricked" at the Windows Mobile splash screen. I want to know is there any way I can unbrick my Cingular HTC 8525 Herm100 device, via SD(micro). I have reformated my card but it still wont go to the bootloader, I have witnessed the small text at the bottom left of the screen that reads "No GSM" imediately after the phone comes on. Now either I am over reading something or missed something but if I could trouble some of the devs, admins, users, or even (not recommended, but im desperate to get working) flamers...
Please help me so that I may help others later on. Thank you
Im not a know it all....but I'll try and help.
Questions...
1) Have you tried to do a Manual load of the Boot-loader (POWER+OK+RESET)..?
Usually I HOLD the POWER+OK then hit the RESET while still holding the other two buttons, until the boot-loader loads.
2) Try taking out your Sim's card, see if the NO GSM is still there...?
I've had this problem on other phones in the past.
3) Unbricking using the SD card..? try doing a SEARCH THIS FORUM option for a
more dedicated search...
I would use a USB cord for the unbricking, as I have had better chances of undoing a brick.
Also you can used a "Motorola Razr", USB cord also with this phone for the USB options.
Well hope something works for you.
Thanks and good Luck.

You also need to have installed Hard SPL V7... If you haven't then I hope you have a copy of your SHIPPED STOCK ROM as this may be th eonly thing that will fix your Hermes. If it has the "No GSM" error then its possible you will still have a brick. It generally means the radio rom is corrupted and is impossible to fix...
Thank you guys for the response I have reversed the brick of the phone a few days ago. My other question is, do anyone know how/or if it is possible to flash the phone and lock it to an "IDEN" type phone or know the Network ID Code for a Carrier called, boost mobile; a subsidiary of Sprint/Nextel.
