Hello there,
well i have a k-jam. here is my story. i tried upgrading it to newer imate software, also i tried using the custom rom as well but reverted back to the imate rom cuz i wanted arabic support. i did all that without reseting the cid. once i left Oman, back to the USA, i wanted to use only the english cuz the imate arabic rom takes forever if i wanted to change from keyboard to phone pad for example. thus i formated the fone again, and used the english rom for imate. the i tried the custom rom again, and decided to do the CID thingi. now my fone starts but the back light doesnt come on. I know that cuz when i connect to the pc the fone syncs with my pc, but i cant see anything on my k-jam. i then did another cid, rapi, sim unlock thinking that maybe when i did the CID the first time, something went wrong. but still the problem is being fixed. i tried the bootloader but then the RUU untility cant recognize the fone. i tried normal upgrade using the RUU, but once the fone needs to restart to start copying the rom, the ruu hangs cuz the fone doesnt come back on soon enough. so in other words, once i press the upgrade button on the RUU utility on the screen that shows u info about the old rom and the new rom ur upgrading too, the fone restarts and usualy the progress bar shows up on the fone. i dont get that, cuz the fone doesnt restart fast enough and the RUU utility comes back with an error 240.
im planing to send the fone back to dubai where is bought it from, since its still under waranty, but if there is another way to upgrade the rom on the fone, im all ears.

please help i have the t-mobile mda compact pm200 and i was removing a cracked version on pocket dos v1.09 from the remove list and it said windows wil need to perform a soft rest yes or cancel i clicked yes and my system restarted but now it just get stuck at the t-mobile screen. i have tried doing the manufatures hard reset but no joy i have take out the battery no joy and i can't even access it through my p.c what can i do to get it up and running again i don't care about the data already on there cuz it is all backed up on my sd cad
When you took out your battery, have you been waiting til the backup battery fully drained out? It takes about 30-60 minutes, better leave a few hours. Try this and post your results...
thank for trying but unfrtunatly it had no effect i tried for two hours then reinserrted it and no joy so i waited a further day but still nothing any other ideas tnx
Is it getting into BootLoader? Then you might try Flashing a new ROM!
how would i go about doing that? my computer won't even recognis3e my phone
I had about the same problem:
I was trying to install the Pocket PC Greek language support (free trial version) from the site http://greek.pocket-pc.penreader.co...der_Greek.html. on my MDA Vario Tmobile when it crashed!! It shows just a white screen and does nothing at all!! I soft and hard reseted the device but after restarting it shows the Tmobile screen and after a few seconds a white screen! Actually I am not so sure that the device is hard reseting because it doesn't ask me for a confirmation of the hard reset. When I startup my device it stops on the same white screen.No windows loading, no other commands accepting, not recognized by my desktop.
Did anybody have the same problem before? Does anybody know how can i get my PPC on working condition again
Thanks dagonist.
I hope somebody can help....
See for ROM upgrades on the forum :wink: if u get some images on the mini then it's not dead! It's just stuck at the bootloader mode, meaning that the OS is somehow damaged.. To solve this prob u must plug the mini into the pc (it will be recognised as an unidentified device, don't worry), then download a ROM upgrade set (u will find these on the net or in the xda-dev ftp). Execute the prog, wait 'till it finished and voila! Ur device will come as new If u encounter problem do a simple search in the forum regards rom - bootloader - upgrade and u willl find a lot of infos :wink:
Hope this helps, MocciJ
Thanks MocciJ.....but my desktop pc doesnot "see" my pocket pc at all!!
:? then it isn't yet in bootloader, is just stuck at the beginning of a broken OS! I mean that it tries to load the OS, but then it gets stopped since he read bad ROM (probably deleted in some way since u encountered this prob removing a prog) try to get it in bootloader mode, by pressing together the camera, power and reset buttons.. U will lose all the things in the RAM memory, but in this case u really can't do anything else.. After entering in bootloader, u can easily upgrade it..
MocciJ
Well, I just tried the camera button+power button+reset button....and nothing happens! It reset and comes back to the same white screen...
Any other suggestions??
well, did u tried to make it correctly? I mean: for entering boot loader u havce to press camera + power, and then reset (with camera and power pressed) if u can't still enter the bootloader, then I'm out of ideas, sorry...
MocciJ
I amdoing it write but nothing happens....
In the screen what can u read? If u read serial (it is barely visible) then see if it turn to usb when u connect the cable: if yes, we 're at a very good point...
When it starts up it shows the Tmobile logo and then for a few seconds :
ipl 1.08
spl 1.08
gsm 01.09.10
(something else...)
after a few seconds a white screen without any letters or anything else.
But I cannot see it anywhere on my desktop pc...
:? I can't figure out how you can get it back.. If it displays images and text, then the bootloader is still alive.. It even tells u the correct version of the complete ROM.. but I wonder why it can't access to the bootloader.. u must search in the forum how to reach the bootloader, but I'm sure of the power camera reset combination; when u can read SERIAL or even better USB on the device, u probably have solved most of ur problems, but chances are that u have even bad clusters of ROM, and cannot be restored with an upgrade (it happened to the External Rom of my mini after a bad upgrade)
I suggest to send it to repairs, before doing somewhat wrong, because if there is an original ROM inside they will repair it for sure, free :wink:
MocciJ
Thanks. The problem is that I got the phone from ebay, from a UK seller, and it was locked to Tmobile. So I don't think that I can ask for a factory/guaranty repair....

seee i tried all of thoose things but i found the main problem was getting the computer to recoginise the thing and the program i put on was a cracked version ( i know i am a naughty boy) so if i send it off they could cause legal problems couldn't it
it depends on what u are meaning by "not recognised" but I assume that windows dosesn't even try to recognise the device (I mean that there aren't bubbles, notifications, or any other changes on the system) for the cracked software, well if u have installed it right into any RAM folder (not in the storage memory) then u can tell the repairing center that ur unit simply doesn't power on correctly.. :wink:

hey all,
any help that any one can offer would be great. First off what had happen was that I was installing a new rom onto my G3 Wizard, the after it was complete the phone restarted but didn't get passed the loading windows screen. On top of that, now when I connect my phone the to the computer activesync doesn't read the phone or charge the battery. Is there anything I could do to fix this.
Read the Wiki (XDA-Wiki). Link button at top of this screen. Look at the Wizard section on how to unbrick your phone.
HELP.. ! Here ya go..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there is no accidently u tried to update stupidly to wm6, there is no excuse for this, and you are now the proud owner of a totaly buggered pda.
serves you right realy, as if you read the forums, u will find there is no wm6 for the xda 2i, and the file you would have used will have stated that it was wm6, 1000%
there is no way of getting it back now... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
well unless u can plug it into your pc ang run the 2003se rom.
p.s. how stupid.
Hi!!! I Have the same problem but 1 difference I dont want to update anything ... My PDA was stop and I take out the batery and now is dead no light or system ... what can I DO? HELP ... When I plug in in my PC ... dont do anything
I tried to downgrade my 5600 to wm2003se that was the original os and I had upgraded it to wm6 but want to go back and since I didnt make a backup of the rom I used the updater from Orange to try and downgrade it after following some instructions I saw on a website.
But now the phone just show the orange uk startup screen then goes into the bootloader I tried using the imate wm2003se update it updated successful but when I start the phone a get the imate startup screen and then it goes into the bootloader again. Another thing is that the updaters when I ran them (I reran the orange uk updater so the orange rom is now on the phone again) both show that there was no rom loaded to the phone, all the information the phone model and the other info are completely blank.
I've tried looking up how to fix it but the only solution all the sites give me I cant do cause I dont have a sd card and even if I did my computer cant read sd cards and I dont have a sd card reader either.
I'm sure your wondering about the version of my bootloader it version 1.x, sorry I cant be more specific cause the phone screen does work properly and the only way to get it to show properly most of the time is to push the end call button up and hold it there. A solution to that would appreciated as well but right now I'm more wanting a solution for the bootloader problem I'm having.
My heads spinning from all the information aka post and threads, but im still stuck like my wizard on the 2nd splash screen.
I wasnt trying to upgrade the rom jst clear storage but after everything ive read i would like to upgrade to wm6 but first i want to get my wizard working.
I tried backing up the rom to the sd card but I get "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image" So i take it my wizard is cid locked.
My IPL:1.01 and SPL:1.06 does that mean its a g3. My activesync 4.5 doesnt pick up my wizard is it because it cant boot, i tried with it in bootloader mode still doesnt pick it up.
So plz point me in the right direction to fix my wizard
ok i think the place where im stuck at is cid unlocking my wizard with out using that imei site. any help or is there another way to do this.
This helped me when I was stuck on the first screen. For some reason, the Radio file was gone. Follow this exactly, it works. In my case (sounds like yours also), at the end of this you will at least have access to the phone again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963&highlight=bootloader
After your done. You will have a RGB screen, then follow these directions to load a base rom and unlock so you can keep going until you ca load WM6.1.

I've had many, many problems over the last 3 days trying to do this. I completed it all in less than a day, but when I used the phone it had terrible reception. I completely downgraded everything back to square one. Still bad phone reception. I was about to through it out the window, when someone called my wife's cell phone and she also had bad reception. I then put my sim in another phone, same problem. Well, at&t has a tower down for the last 3 days. What timing, it seems to work when not at home, but hard to test that way Anyway, moral of the story is. Don't give up, keep plugging along.
Good luck.
I'm pretty sure imei checker is for SIM unlocking.
For G3 CID unlocking and upgrading read the stickies in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=289
If you can start your Wizard in bootloader, and it says "usb" in the lower-left, you can flash your original ROM. An active sync connection is not needed. Search for your carrier's ROM if you don't have it and I'd recommend the "no carrier ID" version of the RUU.
Have you tried a 'Hard Reset',hope it'll work,if it boots up into working OS and it already has IPL/SPL 1.xx,use lokiwiz02b tool to SIM/CID unlock the phone and than upgrade.
If it doesn't work still after Hard Reset,most probably,its Extended_Rom is corrupted,its required to reflash a new rom.
Activesync doesn't work in absence of a working OS and in Bootloaders mode.Its not required for flashing a rom.Just get the phone into Bootloaders and hook the phone with pc via usb cable and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloader screen,if its there,it good to go and flash the rom.
ok so i downloaded the button rom finally but how do i flash it to my wizard.
Get your phone in Bootloaders,hook up the phone with pc via usb,watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloader screen,if its there run the 'RUU' application,it'll start to flash,it stops at a certain percentage,don't get worried and do anything,after a couple of minutes it starts again,let it complete 100%,the phone'll restart and boot up in new OS.
which ruu application. I jst downloaded 1 which comes in the form of a rar file saying ruuwrapper. is that the right 1
So after lots and lots and lots more reading i realized i dont need a ruu. all i need to do is get into bootloader mode plug in the usb and run the wizard button rom. It worked perfectly my wizard is back to life yip pee.
Anyway i wud jst like to thank u guys for all the help and compliment u guys on a gr8 forum.
Now my next challenge is wm6 with touch flo.
