I have been try to change ROM. e,g :s200,dopod aisa, jester ROM.
everytime reboot the prophet.It will stop in the HTC logo and pay about 5 mins. all ROM's the same.
who have the same problem?
and how to saft it?
thanks!
once the phone is on, does Bt work? If it doesn't this is the problem.
I had the exact same problem, just to realise that the BT chip was broken.
I had to send it back to service (under warranty): they replaced the motherboard and all is working now.
This way you will also get new IMEi and MAC address for the wifi and latest rom
I think so!
I can't open BT now.
Hi Chairman,
I've got the same problem.
Send it to repair as soon as you can. Don't wait.
I've waited to long, thinking i'll just flash my device back to German language (it's an O2 XDA Neo) and then go to Germany to give them to repair, but it just died after few weeks.
Now it doesn't turn on at all, so i can't flash it anymore to original language and send it for repair under warranty because it's contents is in French.
As Thegios said, if they changed motherboard, then it has to be an expensive replacement if not under warranty.
So, don't wait, or you may have a dead device. And if, like me, you flashed to another ROM and language, you'll be lost
In my case, the excessive boot-up time was gone after upgrading to the new and latest official Qtek Rom

Hello ,
I have tryed all the recomended steps to avoid 1% error in RSU flashing procedure but still no success.
Let me tell you the story : after unsuccesful upgrade of radio part I have followed the recomadation foud in the forum but no one was available for me I supposed
1 I have flashed the ROM ( boostrap mode from SD ) with all new version from O2, AT&T, Qtek and T-mobile
2 after each flash procedure I have copyed on the SD the repair flash files ( autorun and RSUpgrade.sa.CAB ) which determine my device going in the RS upgrading procedure. Guess what? every single time was stoped in 1% status. I have tryed with or without sim card
3 I have erased the files from start-up and from windows folder that are linked to the application and I have copyed them again from an unpacked archive or from allready unpacked instalation kit. FAILURE
4 Battery is fully charged. I have tryed to flash with or without charging cable conected. NO DIFFERENCE.
Maybe there is a chance to flash it trough boostrap menu in the GSM ROM to SD submenu ? I just think that if is possible to back-up, somehow should be a way to put a SD card with the specific file on it and flash the radio part in the boostrap mode.
Is there anyone can help me?
thank you in advance
I am in the same boat and received an email from one of our XDAdevelopers a few days ago saying that he never tried to 'create' any GSM ROM and that he was not sure if it was possible to flash the GSM ROM through the SD method.
BTW, how did you actually manage to charge your battery? You mentioned in other thread that you used the 'external' batt connector to charge. Is this correct. THere are three tabs on the connector at the back of the device, could you please specify which tab for the positive/ negative/ ground plug?
Thanks...
the connector
Here is the connector and the connections for battery charge.
Also I think I have realise what we did wrong and why we are not able to fix the problem like the other from the forum did allready.
The problem is that when I got the 1% error first time, instead of following the steps described by the members in the forum ( I dint know at that time ) I have hard reset the device ( the small button in the right ) which determin perhaps erasure of an important part of XDA flash memory.
I will study the Jtag connections and the way it can be flashed trough that option and I let you know.
I will appreaciate if you wlil share with me any thread in the forum that might help us to fix it.
Also you can contact me over the ICQ with offline messages if you cannot see me online.
I saw you want to send your device to sombody knowing how to to fix it.
I let you know about I can or not and we can talk about your own.
Thanks,
Silviu C
Many thanks for the information.
I did not hard re-set when I had the failure for the first time. Here's what I did (I hope this would serve as a WARNING to other member NOT to make the same mistake as us):
1. I downloaded the new TMobile ROM4.01.00 suggested in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4043
I knew that TMobile is for GSM900/1900, but noticed that some members said that it was okay since what we wanted to do is to flash the PDA / CE ROM not the GSM ROM part.
2. I installed the ROM sucessfully and everything was working fine. As I checked the device information after flashing I noticed that the ID has chacnged to 10B meaning 900/1900. So, I continued browsing and ended up in the Phone options and I noticed the phone band options showed 900 and 1900 (not 1800). Then I made a MISTAKE by leaving the 1900 option "checked" and accidentally clicked OK (clumsy hands).
THen the phone stopped working.
3. After soft resetting, the booting up procedure was still showing normal signs (i.e. all ROM, Radio Stack and Protocol versions were shown in the splash screen). But the phone still did not work.
4. Then another mistake I made was "reflashing" the Radio GSM ROM!!
Should I have gone to the bootloader and changed the GSM band from there, I might not have had this problem. As the RSUpgrade.exe was running , then the device got stuck in the 1% screen of death. But I was not panicking as I remembered that there were many sucessful stories about this problem in this forum. (I have playing in this forum since last Sept). So , I started checking the threads and then tried to repeat the procedures but without any luck.
Since then I had different other problem with flashing the device. At one point there was only the bootloader on the device (no splash screen etc.) But I managed to downgrade the bootloader to 5.15 (from 5.17).
Codectelecom: I will keep you updated with any findings both on and off lines. I added your ICQ into my contact.
TOday I talked to the distributor of the device in Bangkok, THailand and the same thing happened as yesterday (talking to the shop): they could not do anything and insisted that flashing the ROM can be done by the user. THey did not even give me a chance to "show" what the problem actually is.
MY ADVICE TO EVERYONE who wants to upgrade any ROMs. PLEASE READ this FORUM THOUROUGHLY and try to follow the discussions, always trust the xda developers guys: FLASHING ROM is DANGEROUS!!!!!
You have a good chance of turning your 'precious' HTC shiny PPCPE into a 'brick'.
codectelecom: Please kindly keep me updated with the JTAG. As you might have noticed, I am not a 'techie' with electronic stuff.
I agree with you that there must be some corrupted files in one of our devices' ROMs. One indication is that the device could sense wheteher power is plugged in. ALso the battery monitoring functions is not working.
SOrry, I missed one point:
After getting stuck in the 1% screen, then of course I pressed OK and then the radio stack and protocol versions were gone in the splash screen and when I checked the bootloader it showed GSM ERROR.
Andhy, thx so much for sharing this experience and hope we learned something from it. One question here that I hope one of the developers will answer: is there any way to hide the "Band" tap in phone settings ??
I have it now on my XDA since I replaced the main board with a TMO one that has tri-band feature, but my network is only 900/1800, and I don't want to go in such mistake (ticking the 1900 box).
Any ideas ???
Biso007: I have no answer to your questions re: hiding the band tab, and hope that our xda-developers or other experts would entertain us in this thread. I remember there are another one or two guys (other that codectelecom and me) in this forum who also have not been able to get out of the 1% screen of death.
THis forum has grown very rapidly, that it's becoming difficult to find 'good' informations quickly. So many new members keep posting the same question over and over again without atempting to "read" the forum thoroughly (you can tell this thing by the questions that they asked).
BTW, you mentioned about replacing the main board with a TMO one that has tri-band feature. Where did you do it and how much did it cost you?
I was thinking to 'replace' the GSM ROM or the phone part and already started looking in the PDA junk local market. Hoping to find a broken xda with a working phone part :wink:
As I said, even the importer here did not want to help. All I asked was to send the device to the factory or some service centre outside the country. I was willing to pay all charges, but they just did not want to help. ...some people....
andhy: I bought a used XDA from one of my good friends who got it from US. Its screen was broken, so I took its main board and it's pretty good. I 'm sure you can find 100s like this since this lovely device is soooooo fragile :x
G'day fellas
I've got an O2 XDA, and just cooked up a ROM in the kitchen, flashed it to WM2003 4.01.12 ENG O2euro, which went fine. I then tried to update the Radio Stack, using O2 Latest Official Radio Stack RU 4.21 found here:
http://www.yorch.net/upgrades.htm I did this because the phone wasn't working at all, but I can only get a low signal where I am anyway.
It tried to update the Radio, went to 10% and then 'update failed'.
Now when I try to turn it just hangs on the load screen, and when I go into Wallaby Bootloader V5.17 I get 'GSM ERROR'!!
Is that the wrong radio stack for Australia? what on earth can I do now? It won't even boot up into the pocket PC.
Am I able to flash it or re-flash it again, just so I can get it working?
Please help... thanks.
You have the same problem as me. You can enter the OS but you will need to wait for a long time(~10min). Poor man, i think you can repair it only in the center, may be you will be luck if in your country there is center. Im moscow there is not. When you repaired xda, tell me ok. GOOD LUCK
Thanks for your reply, Long.
I have searched these forums extensively for an answer, and even if I was able to 'boot from SD' I don't think that would enable me to flash the radio again, only the ROM.
Yes there is a service centre here, and I would assume they are able to repair XDA's. I will take it there and hope that the repairs will not be expensive.
It's such a shame this happened, since this is my first Pocket PC, and I've only had it a few weeks. It's been a fantastic device (apart from the phone not working properly) and to think that it can stuff up so easily just by applying an 'official' update... :?
I would very much be curious as to how they would repair this at the service centre, so that we could possibly be able to fix this problem ourselves.
Not being a pc/phone buff I wondered if any of you guys can help me?
I bought a Vodafone V1640 that had O2 software on it. Firstly is this ok? Should it have had Vodafone software on it? Second, I sold the phone on eBay beause it did not match my needs or critera and now the person that bought it is saying there is a ROM error showing and that I had originally bought a duff phone. This I cannot understand, as when I received the phone, I charged it and made sure that it was in perfect working ordered. This was over a peroid of about 2-3 hours and no error showed on the phone what so ever. It actually came sealed as if it had come straight from Vodafone as an upgrade maybe.
I cannot understand why this error messgae is now showing and upon asking an IT collegue at work he has suggested that this person had maybe tried to load new software on to the phone therefore the ROM error being apparent.
Does anyone have any idea why the phone may only now be showing this error? I can assure you all that I did nothing to the phone as it was only out of the box for a few hours before I decided that it wasn't for me.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
:roll:
what error is showing.
i have a vodafone unit, but have flashed various roms without problems.
i am currently on the latest i-mate.

Hi Steve
Thanks for replying.
I've got no idea what kind of ROM error is showing on the item as it is no longer in my possession. I am trying to contact my eBay buyer to find out exactly what message is showing and when.
What exactly is a ROM error anyway? As I stated previously, the phone was on for btween 2-3 hours and showed no signs of soft/hard ware damage. How do Rom error's occur?
Sorry to sound so vague and amateurish!!
I am no expert and have only been playing with these things for 9 months, but the only time I have ever seen ROM error is when i have been trying to flash a different ROM to my device, e.g the imate version to my vodafone machine.
Ask him what he did, what the error says and what he can see on the screen.Read the guide to installing a ROM and you can see what happens.
ROMs for specific versions such as imate will not flash to others such as vodafone unless you use a specific .exe file (the no id upgrade one).
If you try you will get an error, and sometimes you can get the machine up and running, other times you get a brick which can take time to get back to life.

Hi,
i hope you give me a soulution, i have only 2 week from the warraty period.
i had the offical firmware on my p3300 til 2 weeks ago, when i had that bad idea to upgrade to the official wm6 which can be donloaded from htc.com. during a year there were only 2 crashes/hangs so i thougt it wont be any problem, but after the upgrade the phone start to freeze. in the last 4 days it freezes about 20 times/ day and it very annoying. i tried the touch 4 rom and 2 more. i wanted to try my original but i cant find on my cd. what do you suggest what should i do?
PLEASE HELP ME! i have only 2 weeks
new info
i tried today an original rom from htc and it goes well til 1 hours ago when after a call it hangs too. i think it has got a hardware problem. so i will return to the reseller. except if you have a good idea.
SzaZo
I'm having the same problem. Already had to turn in my device 3 times before it was finally fixed (I didn't flash anything so not my fault). Last week I flashed another rom, flashed back to my original and now I'm having the problem again
anyone knows how to solve?
do you remove memory card and sim before flash new ROM?
someone said it is ok to leave memory card and sim card when upgrade new ROM,
but in my case, there was some file created in root of my memory card. i'm not sure how file came from, may be it's created by other program.
try flashing new rom without mem card and sim.
Hi,
I've got a problem with camera in LG E900. I used this ROM: DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V10b-260-XXX-NOV-09-2010+0
After flashing camera aplication hangs up and back to main menu.
Please, help
Ad1. I'm just ending flashing again my phone. And this time i used Open Europe ROM, and still cannot use camera. When i push a cam button or choose a camera aplication, program start up and back to main menu. I'm very very angry and I have no ideas haw to ..... I think that I say sorry ma HTC Desire with Android 2.2 and LG will go to trashcan
I close thread. I did it. Thanx a the.rider1290. I was flashed again polish rom and did factory rest from MFG. And now, camera works perfectly.
I am happy you found the solution. Sometimes the firmware and the hardware may not match.
Yeah I know but is one thing what is very important. I unpluged battery for a few minutes. After this I did factory reset in MFG.
But right know i'm "fighting" with ****in MMS. It dosn't work without Internet conection by EDGE or 3G. When I'm choicing in MFG Set network profiles, MFG shut down and phone goes back to Main Menu in WP7. I'm very pissing off :[
Got exactly the same camera problem after flashing my optimus using DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V10b-202-XXX-NOV-09-2010+0 rom.
How did you find out which is the right version for yours? I'm lost.
I'm from Poland. My firmware is ROM: DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V10b-260-XXX-NOV-09-2010+0. The number: 260 in firmware name means it is polish firmware (not exactly polish, Eastern Europe firmware with polish language support). I have to use this one cause I will not able to upgrade to full polish version in future. You should find your national version or use Open Europe ROM, but this one dosn't work with my phone.
Try remove battery for a few minutes. It works for me.
Everything ok! I did remove the battery for a few minutes and the problem is now gone ;-)
