The phone keeps resetting itself and re-installing the programs.
It wont keep any of my contacts. and the screen wont stay sideways.
I'm new, maybe if you have any links to post for me to read i will check them out.
if this phone still good? or should i get rid of it?
Just a little jumpstart would be great, plz dont flame me yet
have you tried hard resetting it?
I dont know how, basically i'm a greenhorn in this. The manual is in german so i cant read it.
Actually i put in all my info this morning, and it reset while i had it in my pocket and erased everything, it hasnt reset yet.
I think it was reinstalling everything because i turned the screen sideways on it..
Do i have the current firmware or versions on it?
Do i need an upgrade?
Hi,
Hold down the power button and then, using the stylus, press in the reset button. This will take your XDA back to 'factory defaults'.
Heres a manual for you...

Ok, yes i did that. IT seems that it quit resetting thus far.
Sorry, what do you mean by "thus far"?

Was told a few days ago, but just remembered...
WM2003 seems to re-use the RAM needed for the RAM copy of the bootloader. This means that once you've entered the bootloader, even if you've only briefly looked at the pretty colored bars, the device cold-boots when you reset to go back to the OS.
Funny thing is this happens on some of our machines, but not on all...
Having the same problem on my QTEK...
i reported this here like 2 weeks ago i thought it was only on my device!
:?
Yes this happenes as well on my XDA (german O2)with WM ( 4.0.01 and .05).
Unfortunately the Band switch ( XDA dev. version ) is not working as well.

Also happens to my os xda Asian version with the following details:
Bootloader: 5.17
Radio Stack: 4.21 (UK version)
ROM: 4.00.05 ENG (06/05/03)
Protocol: 32S54
Funny, I thought I was the only one having this problem...
This also happens on 3.x ROMs, sometimes it just resets, sometimes it does not.
On the same device, with the same ROM and the same configuration, writing whole ROM to SD didn't do a hard reset. 5 minutes later, brief look at the bootloader erased all data.
It's about computers, it has no system...
possible fix
Samething happened to me. after i set everthing up perfectly and all i did was try to unlock the phone.
I think i found a possible fix. u need to make sure ur device is not powered on when u enter the bootloader mode. so if u want to access it. press the power button to make sure screen goes off. wait couple of seconds and go into bootloader. i tried this and my device was fine after soft reset. let me know if this works.

hi
i am no longer able to turn on the backlight after upgrading to 4.00.05 from 4.00.01. I can only see it flashing quickly on a soft reset - so i know it still works. but holding the power button wont do anything. any ideas?

... running a german mda pw10a2 with radio 4.21
I too had this problem when I tried a restore from my backed up 4.00.01 version (I was being lazy and didn't want to reinstall all of my applications). A hard reset and manually reinstalling the applications solved the problem for me.
hey, this is just what i did... wanted to cut corners .
i just did a hard reset and everything is fine now.
thank you so much for the quick response!
Glad to have been of help.
when i first got my mda II it worked fine, but after an hour of so, after i turned it off, it wouldnt turn on again. after fiddling with it, i got it to turn on again by pressing the call button, then really quick after pressing the on button, but that only works sometimes. the only sure bet to turning it on again is a soft reset, which is VERY inconvenient... it anyone has any idea whats going on, PLEASE help me
thanks alot
Power on problem!! MDA II after upgrade to wm2003se
Hi,
I've got the same problem. I bought MDA II with wm2003. Fiew days after I installed wm2005 but it was unstable and many programs didn't working correctly so I downgraded it to wm2003se. Everything looks quite ok except the problem with power on with no activity (sometimes it srarts with power_on+red_call pressed at the same time but after that green led no blinking).
Now this is:
ROM version: 2.06.00WWE
ROM date: 06/14/04
Radio version: 1.18.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.72.165
Is there any idea to resolve this problem?

Hi,
I want to try one of pug's rom upgrades, because the Dutch Qtek (representing) company sucks extremely hard and offers barely any support at all to its users I installed their (very old) upgrade, and it ****ed everything up :roll:
Anyway, Im very anxious if it comes to rom upgrades, especially unofficial "found somewhere on the net" upgrades (nofi). So I want to back up my old rom version and be able to put it back, in case pugs update doesnt work out. I found the following url on this forum:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=370
But when I try that, all I can get into is safe mode.. I never saw any 'boot loader', even though I tried like 10 times :shock: I take the following steps:
- Press and hold the power and record button for a few seconds
- Let go of those buttons
- Stick the stylus into the little hole to reboot my device
Yet, I dont get into a boot loader.. Can anyone help me with this?
Also, the readme of pugs upgrade says:
The update will fail, do nothing to the device but run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again.

Why does it fail the first time? It kinda scares me that it does.. And can I put his radio_*.* in my own update? Because thats actually the part that I want upgraded, the bluetooth functionality..
Thanks in advance for any replies
Oops, I forgot my device information :

Radio 1.02.00
ExtROM: 1.11.112 WWE
hey not Cam button
dude he's saying to press (Reset SW and Power SW and Action button) the circular cutton between the yes and no buttons press these switches in same time and voila BootLoader Mode...
I too am interested in finding out how to backup my current Alpine rom to my PC (preferably direct to PC, not via SD) and then re-installing it if necessary at a later date.
Does anyone have a complete guide (not a pdamobiz guide, unless it is written in English and not engrish.)
I've used the XDATools OSImageTool to take a backup. If I were to install the following ROM: ftp://xda:[email protected]_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar would I be able to return my PDA to its current state by simply using the OSImageTool to restore my backed up ROM?
The problem appeared today morning, while listening music using tcmp. the sound stopped suddenly, and standard animated cursor appeared over tcmp screen. i closed tcmp, and the rest of the system seemed fine, i was able to mute the phone and entered my work place. After a while i noticed the screen is off and i can not turn it on using pwr button, although green led kept blinking so the phone was operating. after a soft reset it would not go over splash screen showing IPL, SPL (which are: IPL: 1.06, SPL 1.06, GSM: 01.12.10, OS 1.6.2.4).
I've tried multiple times and still the same, only difference is that sometimes I can see the cursor and sometimes not. I can get to rgb screen and "press send to restore" as well, but that's it. I can't remember whether previously pressing a key illuminated a screen and keys, but now it doesn't. I used to have problems with screen not going black on idle since few days, but that's it. What could have happened? And if the only solution is hard reset, please tell me, could I somehow backup my contacts now? I don't have activesync here so I have to wait till I finish my work to find out..
please help anyone...
rom version : 1.6.2.4 WWE,
date : 11/15/05
radio : 01.12.10
protocol : 4.0.13.23
extrom : 1.6.2.105
That's spooky. My MDA has the same versions of IPL, SPL, GSM and OS, and this morning started misbehaving.
What's this rgb screen you can get to with the "press send to restore" option?
How do I do a hard reset (I have a backup on SD) without being able to get to the Start>Settings>System>Clear storage control panel option?
Rgb screen is a bootloader which i enter by holding cam+voicedial+commmanager butons while softreseting wizard. the other screen i mentioned i enter holding cam and voice buttons, and then pres reset. that screen says 'pres send to restore factory defaults any other key to quit' and it does hard reset if you press green button here...
my problem seems to be over for now, i managed to turn the phone on while i plugged it into a wall charger (believe me, the battery was not a problem - i don't know for how long it's ok now, but at least i made contacts backup now so that i'm ok with a hard reste if i have to...
You both have old roms and could do with upgrading them to aku2 roms. (your device will be more stable) i.e. the first number of the rom will be 2. Please dont ask me to go through how to flash a rom because there are hundreds of posts on the same topic and read the wiki - shortcut top left of the screen. You need to identify whether your device is g3 or g4 but i suspect you both have g3 chips.
Now read & read esp the wizard upgrading forum and wiki and then when you feel confident - flash your device.
mu chipset is g3 based on my ipl/spl info... i wouldn't dare to ask anyone to explain the process of flashing, i'm not that crazy. only thing i'd dare, would be to advice me what rom should i use... or a way to determine this, since i know it can't be just any rom...

Looking at your rom numbers i gather you have a t-mobile vario - is it uk or usa rom or polish - i see you live in poland.
there latest uk rom is here ftp://[email protected]/Wi...Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
us rom ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe

Its prob best you sim unlock and cid unlock before you flash in case you change to a non-tmobile rom inc one of the cooked roms.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
and read dr puttingham's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and now i have given you more than enough hints
p.s. by the way remember to write down your gprs settings and mms settings to use with your new rom.
thats right, its tmobile vario, uk one. it is sim unlocked, i'm not sure about cid but it should not be a problem. thanks for the hints, it really seems more then enough;] i'll probably have to use theese, as soon i have a spare evening...
you don't have to explain me the importance of gprs settings - forcing my wiz to work in uk's o2, then in polish plusgsm, then loosing settings and doing it again finally got me into a habbit of backing every settings up ;]
and last but not least, guys, yesterday i did my first HR ;] ...
