What method of hard resetting did you try?
If hard reset does not work get to the bootloader screen (multicolored) by holding down camera button and preset reset button.
You can then reflash your rom - does not have to be activesynced to do this - as long as you have a small 'usb' on bottom left of bootloader screen when connected to pc it should work.
I guess this is the rom thats already on your device ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/o2/Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe

whats the boot loader screen, all the phone loads upto is the bit before windows mobile shows when you first turn it on

Turn phone off - then press camera button and hold - press power on button whilst still holding camera button. Bootloader screen should come up (multicolored)

Just download the rom mentioned above - connect device to computer (does not have to activesynced) and run the rom intaller and the rom will install.

The rom install usually takes 10 mins or so - dont worry it usually stalls a while around the 70-80% mark a while - just wait and be patient until its 100%. It will return to factory condition so all your data will be lost i am afraid. If you have synced with outlook before your pim info can be restored from there.

i was only jsut settin it back up anyway and it didnt work just now the update but it dont the error revoery adn its working again done 75 so far

Just tried to upgrade my XDA mini to this new ROM (v2.21.4.101). Everything seemed to be going swimmingly - I installed the ROM and the thing booted up ok. I then did a soft reset before all the o2 stuff installed. I then went to do a restore (having previously backed up using spb backup) and it almost completed but then the mini s rebooted itself again.
Ever since, it will only get as far as a page which has most of the bar at the top of the screen (the signal strength icon, battery strength and GPRS indicator are all there), but not the start button. Underneath that is just a blue screen with the Windows Mobile logo. The backlight will come on if I press any of the buttons but otherwise it is not responding.
I've tried holding down the camera button and pressing the on/off button and also camera button and the reset button, but neither of them seem to do anything.
I've tried reinstalling the rom from the PC but it says it can't find my device.
Rather bizarrely, if I call myself from another phone, the device rings and says incoming call, so the thing obviously isn't totally dead.
What can I do to sort this out?
Cheers!

I-mate jam (PM10A) faulty

Hi, after reading that the PM10A could take windows mobile 2006 i tried it, installed it and broke my PM10A. Now all the thing does is Vibrate, it wont charge or turn the screen on, all it does is vibrate for a short period of time and if i plug it in it will vibrate continously. Also it cannot be seen by the computer or active sync, everybody i have talked to about this says that it is a complete mystery, what i was hoping was to see if any body knows what is wrong and could help me??
I only bought this around 3-4 days ago and therefore quite upset, i know its my own fault due to WM2006 but is it fixable?
Please help me.

The Magician can't take WM6. wherever you read it, it was not true... It can't take WM5 either
I'm sorry to be harsh, but this is something that has been asked a lot of times, and the answer is still no. Closest you'll get as far as i know is the WM6 lookalike rom that someone here posted...
you bricked your phone, methinks... Buy a new one off ebay or something.

the reset button is on the bottom right, a small hole. a wallaby reset pin fits nicely in the hole. the magician unfortunately does not have one.(but you can use the magician pencil) "

Works again! Thanks!

My Magicain, seems to be permanently stuck in the bootloader mode. I've tried using the original flash RUU (even the NO_ID version) without success. It either doesn't detect my device, or says that it isn't the correct version for my phone (although I downloaded it from the official site).
Any suggestions?

Hi, i dont know if yours is an I-Mate but try to go to the i-mate website and download it from there it worked for me and i was just thinking you should maybe give it a try, let me know what happens.

Yes, I had already used it. This was what bricked my I-mate Jam, in the first place. I tried using the NO_ID tool, to try to connect with my device, but it keeps saying that my unit is not designed for this tool.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, i used the one named : JAM_UK_Aus_11200_171_11 CDL
hope this helps,
i have now purchased a t-mobile mda 2 but i am having problems with this sim card as it will not recognise any sims i put into it, i have had a bad time with these HTC's that maybe i will not buy any more, this new one i have is my 3rd i think

I got the unit re-flashed with the 'big ROM' versiosion.
The unit now works, but I want to get my other Charmer working now. It shows the bootscreen, then the device turns itself off. I have to remove/re-insert the battery, then do a hard reset to ge it back on.

hi, again sorry for very very late reply, i now fix these PDA's, have you managed to fix your charmer?

No. I haven't fixed the Charmer as yet. I gave up on that project, as it seemed to be more a hardware problem than the actual firmware.
I'll PM you more on this shortly.

I am not able to access the bootloader by pressing the three buttons. Device freezes on a black screen. What is the solution?

WHO CAN HELP ME in this Thread... please!

I have a BIG problem because I install this app 'EveryWAN-Remote-Support-3-0-15760' from this http://www.sparus-software.com/spip....wnload&lang=en and I don't know why... my HD is death now I was in activesync with this app and I try all tools TaskManager, FileStorage and when I click the icon 'turn-off screen'... no more HD..., no charge... dont soft-reset, don't bootloader, etc. I'am now very un-happy because I don't understand what's happen with my HD

If nothing else work, why don't you try a hard reset?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puL795s1bY4 <- second half of the video is how you do it.

Hi,
Have you tried to remove the battery, wait a little, and place it back?
Also, refer to this thread:

Thanks for your help... I know do a Hard-Reset but the problem is don't charge, don't show the red led in top charging also, I put off the battery 20 minutes and no way... don't work the button Power... don't work the button Soft-Reset, I can't enter in Bootloader mode...

Hi,
Have you checked that thread I mentioned?
Look specially at this post:
pdc4 said:
Well, some other things to try:
- check if some button (including soft reset) is mal-functioning. Try to release, or clean them.
- is any card (sim or memory) in the phone? If yes, remove them.
- has the phone been exposed to moisture, liquids? ensure that it is dried out, but do not expose it directly to heat or to a dryer...
- try to connect the charger to the phone without battery, leave it a little then disconnect, then place battery and finally the charger , trying to power on
- have you contacted the author of the rom about the issue? Maybe he might have some ideas ...
Good luck!

P.

i-mate jam Automatically reset. Help Plz

Me too, I lost my contact list because of that

My first guess would be your batteries are already weak. Try using a newer battery.

I´ve got nearly the same problem, but when my magician is off (sleep) too long it wont wake to WinMo. The only way to make it boot was holding pwr button for few seconds what made it hard reset... But when i formatted my battery 2 times, then used batclear just to be sure, it works like new!
Ps. My battery is AwFuL. It even does not have the front lid!

first is ur battery or your backup battery only,otherwise your phone is completely corrupted..........

Qtek 9090, strange problems with power

Cero92 said:
Hi all, i just got a Qtek 9090 with WM2003 (ITA). I upgraded to WM6.1, but now it has some strange problems: first of all, when it goes in standby, sometimes it doesn't wake up. If i have to reset it, most of times it doesn't boot (it shut down before WM loads) or i get R: None G: None and i have to reset again (otherwise the phone won't work).
The lock at the boot doesn't happen when the phone is connected at the USB port (i think that's because it charges, maybe it's a battery problem?)
Another thing is that i can't turn it off: if i hold pressed the power button, it deactivate the backlught but the device stays on, and if i make another long press, i get the backlight back again... I had this problem also with WM2003, maybe it's normal?
What do you think? Whan can i do?

Have you make a HardReset?
The correct HardReset, not only reset and press Power button!!!
See in my HowTo Section...
and why not WM6.5.5 see here

yep, hard reset is a good start, but about your other problems:
the device does not really turn off, like other phones. pressing the power button makes it go to hibernate, the display turns off, depending on your settings, it locks the hardware buttons and it shuts off wi-fi, it hardly uses any energy but gsm/gprs stay on.
the device seems to be off, yet the phone is one and you can be called. that is the closest you get to switching it off. when you turn on airplane mode, the battery consumption is even less so there is not really a need to turn it off.
pressing and holding the power button always was for the backlight. many other devices open up a shutdown menu when you do that, that would allow you to turn it off, soft reset, or switch off the backlight, but for the BA, that is not the standard. however, if i read it right, d-two is working on remapping the power button, probably for that cause.
the R: none G: none issue is known and not a problem with your phone, whenever you run out of power or remove the battery for a second, the next boot will be w/o radio (R and most roms don't allow booting without it. that's why you get stuck there and have to perform a soft reset. back in the days of wm2003 i used to remove the battery when the device froze to reset it w/o the stylus, because it didn't matter then. with cooked roms, it is different, just like the booting splash screen or the way to perform a hard reset, many things change on a cooked rom.
the issue with waking up from standby, or the SOD (standby of death) is an issue, that most likely has something to do with a backup, restored after flashing another os, or maybe you didn't perform a hard reset, as stated by d-two. you should do that, now that the device is still new, you have nothing to lose
also, read through the tutorials posted by d-two and myself, whether you missed anything while flashing.

The "real" hard reset is the one i can get by pressing camera + record button and reset? If so, i already did it after flash (i use d-two 6.1 Manila ROM in WWE)
It shows me 3 options, i put on YES "Clean Registry Hive" and "Format Storage" then i press the mail button, the screen become white for a while and the next boot al seems to be ok.
It seems, because after some time i get again the "standby of death" and, if i press the reset button, the most of time it won't boot up again (it turns off before i can get to WM), if it works phone doesn't. All these boot problem can be avoided by connecting the phone to the usb cradle, so maybe it's also a battery problem, i think...
@ d-two: i'll try your new ROM, however before i've tried your 6.1 ROM
I've already read your guide because i've got Windows 7 and i couldn't flash without your tutorial
NEWS: installed d-two new ROM, after flash i made the hard reset selecting the second and the third options, then i get the blank screen and, when viewing the htc screen, it shut down itself like it did before
As always, with the usb connected, it has no problem :\

It can be battery power - battery is old, and it doesn't provide current [A], or voltage drops [V] and phone think, it's empty.
Maybe you can try with new battery, or buy 2 nokia bl-4c batteries and repair orginal battery (somewhere on forum there is a tutorial about that - but use bl4c, not bl5c like in tutorial - bl5c are too thick to fit)

That's what i was thinking (and that's i hope it isn't)... Now with another recharge cycle it seems to be good also with cooked ROMs, i hope it's solved

Maybe you just have to charge/discharge it for 4-5 times, and it will restore it's capacity. Mine BA was turning off when battery indicator was showing ~60-70%, and now I'm waiting for new battery (i destroyed original )

"charge/discharge it for 4-5 times" does not have an effect on Li-ion kind of batteries. This is probably a software problem. When you turn your phone on (after removing a battery) it always shows "None" for R and G, so just press Reset button and it will be ok. I use Reset to power it on Then you can flash 6.5.5 which doesn't have problems, and do a hard reset. There should be no problem at all..

I also got the problem with the stock ROM :\
The R: None G: None error is the less important problem

Got any luck fixing it? I've had similar problems before, sometimes it turned itself off when the battery was at 60% in WM2003. Did you update to d-two's 6.5.5?

Yes, now i'm running d-two's 6.5.5 ROM.
No, i still had the problem Yesterday i called to the assistance service and they said me to remove the battery and after a while recharge it.
I put off the battery yesterday at 16 and i put it again in the phone this morning at 8, i charged it but i still have the problem
This evening i called again and they said me that i have to send it back, i'll flash the original ROM and send it on monday.
That's a shame, i really like this device, even if it's not mine, my sister uses it and she's not a pro user, what a waste

Didn't understand, what "assistance service"? This is very old phone, I just can't believe it has some kind of warranty
I have another battery, and using it the device turns it off sometimes while it's in the stand-by mode! Don't know why, the voltage on it is fine, I have measured it while working...

I bought it on an eBay market and it offered 60 days warranty. It's not official HTC/Qtek warranty, but it doesn't make difference, as long as the device will work
If for you it happens only when it's in standby, maybe you just have the standby of death, the problem Chef Tony was talking about at post 3?
