Hi guys
I've got a problem.after i made a rom update and a hard reset nothing happend anymore. if i press the reset button then the red led will shorty flash and when i put the battery out, too.when i connect it to the computer, windows says the couldn't find any driver an no driver I try are working. does anybody got an idea??? ???
If the mamaich method doesn't solve it, then you've definitely messed up the motherboard. Had this problem too, if its not under warranty they'll fix it for free if it's not then take if your from england take it into your local carphonewarehouse express repair centre and theyll sort it out for a chargeable repair fee of £40
not necessary my friend jus put the fone in bootloader mode and install crossbow u should b good

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:

I attemted to flash my Kjam to WM6 & it went dead. It wont start at all. Kjam Service centre says there is a problem in the mother board and it needs to be replaced for $ 300+........now if flash fails...the ROM must have gone corrupt , what has it to do with the motherboard ?
can anyone throw light on whats the real thing ?
Deven.
take out the battery for hours then re-install it. try to boot in bootloader mode first(3 colors). If it work, it's the time to re-flash the right rom now!
When you start the device up what happens?
Same Problem accured for me!!!!!!!
I installeda new rom and my device didn't power on after that.
What should i do now?

Nobody here is providing any details so everything is going to be just a guess. If either of these phones were a G4 and you flashed a rom that tried to update the IPL/SPL then its very likely you have bricked your device. But again, with no information about what rom you were trying to flash, what your IPL/SPL were beforehand, or details about what it means that it won't turn on, everything is just a guess...
Bricked Kjam
its comletely dead.....i had disconnected the battery for a couple of days then connected it but it wont start....i checked the battery using multimeter it is fully charged....neither does it power ON when connected to mains...It doesnt get detected when connected to the USB port..thats obvious since it is not powering up...so cant flash it again.. now m in a fix as to whether to spend another fortune after this sweetheart or keep it in a showcase ....
Deven
( a bricked KJam )
If nothing lights up that looks pretty terminal. :-(
Maybe you could buy a broken Wizard with a working motherboard? Alternatively maybe sell off your mostly working Wizard on this forum to raise money to buy a new device?
Sorry if you can't get it going. :-(
I had a BSOD on my laptop during a radio flash and was left with a phone that got stuck on boot screen, with NO GSM on the display and no KTIL possibilities. Sent it back to Brightpoint (HTC contracted repair shop) and they wanted 350 euros to replace the system board.
So before i sell as scrap on ebay - i wanted to check that i hadnt missed any miracle cure that may have been found.
Thx
try having a look in the Upgrading forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=306

Are you on Hard-SPL ? Could you use PC to access the Hermes ? If so, try the method to flash the ROM with a memory card method.
Good luck
Memory card flash
Thanks QQ88 - I will give it ago when I get the phone back!
If that doesnt work is there anyone with serious phone skills (thinking of pof-a-likes here) wants to earn 100 euro to help get this phone back to life then PM me.
I''ll give this a shot.

This is a tricky one but I believe that you can use the same flash file that you were using and just try this:
You should know your SPL version before going too far with this. Hopefully you can get that info by trying to boot it and if it can get to the very first splash screen with the red text, it should show it there.
Turn on the phone and let it try to boot ... Hold down the Power and OK buttons at the same time and while holding those buttons down, hit the reset button at the bottom of the phone and you should then be given the multi-color weird screen that's given right before the flash. Then, connect it via USB. Load up the flash software and it should ask you which version you're running of the SPL, select it and then click next. Auto-detect won't work if I remember correctly. Then just push forward and it should go through.
If all else fails, look up Mr. Vanx's information ... he's quoted all over this site and has his own site that has a LOT of information about bricked hermes phones.
GOOD LUCK! I hope it works.
Had a similar problem last week. Download the ROM at the top of the link below and it should unbrick your phone. It worked for me
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
Good Luck
Thank you to all that gave their input. Can confirm that I have tried all methods incl. SD flashing but due to corrupt CID and SPL 1.09 it is time to wave the white flag and give up.
Will keep up with the threads to see if anyone manages to find a way to resurrect TyTns with corrupt CID and SPL 1.09
my viva keeps restarting on that 'smart mobility' screen with system info in red
this happened to me earlier also but got fixed by reflashing ANY rom
i have tried flashing original rom, 6.5v25, 6.5v21, but it still keeps restarting
plz help
EDIT: Just tried reflashing spl! no luck!
My Viva Yesterday , same problem , please Hard Reset
see here how ?

i have tried hard resetting already done that a 100 times
it is still not working
press volume key down and press power... this will take you to the tri-color bootloader screen... connect it to your computer then flash it again...
if it fails again, you probably need to bring that to your nearest HTC service center.
as i said i have tried flashing many diff roms none seems to work and i cant even revert to 'original spl' cause it gives some error
can u give me any idea how much is repairing gonna cost cause my dad has an old p990i he wants to force on me and so he wont spend much on this phone especially cause it has already cost him a lot (extra battery, headphones, memry card , etc oh and ofc the set itself )
that would depend on the hardware that will be replaced... and the service is free if your phone is still on warranty.
phone aint in warrenty it got wet on a water ride once so they said warrenty void
Hi!
First ...THANKS @AdamOutler
Trying several ICS Customs Roms , after installing one of the ROM,the device no longer wanted to open !!!
( Before this operation.....flashing more roms ... I left without support usb funtion- very rarely or never connect on USB cable)
Tring to repair into aut. center ....no succes..they said they found traces of oxidation phone - because water.... ???
Ok ! but...can not pay for a repair more than we gave new phone ...isn't true ?
After that after few days tring to connect USB cable on Windows 7....I saw : update driver - Samsung SEC S5PC110 TEST B/D - unrecognized driver ...and windows did not want to install it ! OK ...was the first good sign after almost a week of downtime ....
Knowing the AdamOuter's tutorial....I only tried to revive him ..but each time unsuccessfully !!??
After almost a week since the phone was opened and no battery - today I try again the UnBrickable Resurrector method....and without touching it only after a few seconds....Big surprise !!!, resurrector work and was able to reinstall ( with fastboot - cmd) bootloader.img, boot.img and recovery.img
After that , into recovery I chose to reinstall the initial version 2.3.3 ( luckily mine was on the sdcard ) ...everything went magnificent ! ...but only up here .
tring to reboot devices ....device boot ....but again surprise...and not well .
Now the screen is dark yellow shadows....I do not think anything can be done to repair this defect....and USB connection problem remained the same ( USB not connected !)
( The shadows are now everywhere, the keyboard, the wallpapers on the menu, the bootloader but not in original recovery menu !)
In my opinion I think it might be graphics card fault but may be any....and why USB cable now does not want to connect ....and into ubunto with UnBrickable Resurrector it was able to connect ? ..very very strange !
I have all the driver installed into win 7 even samsung for Odin....trying all methods of connecting ( with USB debugging - on - off) - ....charging only works !
...wait your advice and opinions ! Thanks in advanced ...
Cheers,

Hi!
Nobody can tell me if it is possible to damage the screen or video card after a ICS custom rom installation ?
If it not possible then I think that those in rep. service changed my screen, because I refused to pay reparation. ( before repair ,I was informed that I have to pay for this , but I refused and they sent me the phone back in a few days without repaired....) .
Now I have it queries....maybe the screen it was bricked after last custom flash ...or those in the service changed my screen - thinking that I will not fix it.
If anyone is willing to try this custom ??? to see about what happens afterwards ...then I'll post this custom rom...but attention you'll brick your device and only solution is AdamsOutler tools ...

Hi!
Sorry but I do not understand your question....by the way - now my phone work great , you are right, everything work well without USB connections, and those spots dark yellow !!! ( at least white looks like dark yellow ).
I believe that the screen is not broken, because running Voodoo Screen Test , all colors are impeccable, no shadow , no colors mixed ....
If anyone knows a more complete test program, something to color or graphics...to see exactly what is defective ? ( or maybe a solution to remove this defect ?) - I will be grateful ! Thanks in advanced ....
