hey guys,
ok running out of ideas, nothing is working.
upgraded to radio 1.43 yesterday which went fine. little while later saw phoen had frozen. rebooting showed me the no gsm error...
so i got going, followed all the instructions on the bricking threads without any luck.
its stuck in bootloader. i can flash an OS-only upgrade (been using windows black) which works fine, even LOADS windows when i reboot, but freezes (and gives the no gsm error on boot.)
however ANY other OS i try using, or even trying to upgrade hardspl or the radio gives a communications failure. so for e.g. if i get a radio upgrade, run it when the windows mobile is all up and runing, it'll go through the reboot process but then have a communication error once the status bar of the upgrade shows up (if at all). then when i reboot it only loads the bootloader, and even trying to change this using mtty has no effect - still only bootloader. trying anything from bootloader alone yields nothing.
IPL 1.01
spl 1.40 olipro
would appreciate any help you guys can offer. and yes, i've gone through the wiki and explored all the bricking threads and have not found a solution...
quick update on this: most likely more serious than i thought.
i downloaded the full htc rom upgrade including radio extrom etc etc:
HTC English QTEK_001 2.11.255.1 03/07/07 2.11.255.102 1.38.00.10 32.71.7020.12H 15673.3.3.1 3.3.1 1.11 108 Thread 1,2,3
as found in the wiki. it started upgrading, got to 13% at which point i'm guessing it starts the radio upgrade. at 13% it freezes and there's a communication failure on my pc.
usb cable is secure and intact, i know thats not the issue.
have i busted my rom or what??
Looks like the exact same issues as a number of people here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309079
Looks like there are enough cases of this from capable users for it to be looked into further? its not like we're all newbies and just mucking about... i've been flashing this device since i got it!

OK, firstly please excuse me if I've asked something that's already been answered. Spent quite some time searching both this site and through google and can't seem to find anyone else that has the same problem.
I've attempted to upgrade my O2 XDA on a number of occasions and always seem to hit the same problem after booting the device.
When cold / warm resetting the device, it always freezes before the today screen launches. At the moment I am staring at the OzUp bootscreen. The device only ever seems to freeze when upgrading the rom past PPC 2002. I've tried (from RomKitchen) wm2003 beta, final, se all with the same result.
There's a couple of bits of information that I can give to possibly help out with a diagnosis:
Wallaby Bootloader V5.22 (does anyone have pre-V5.17 for me to downgrade to)
Working OS Version V3.17.03 (but generally ANY PPC2002 build)
Radio Stack Version 4.21
I also get "G32S54" when booting if that makes any sense to anyone
I do seem to have a problem with the IrDA on the device. Under PPC 2002, any attempted infrared activity will instantly lock the phone, requiring a cold boot to continue. Seeing as I can't find anyone else with the same problem as me when upgrading the OS, I am sort of guessing that this might be the cause of the problem.
However, I've also tried unlocking the XDA (using XDAUnlock) and this also fails (I'm assuming because of the bootloader version). The phone is simlocked onto O2 UK. This could also be a cause of the upgrade fault.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, one thing which makes things all that little more bizarre. From RomKitchen, I tried "R.30.07 ENG Rogers" which seemed to work with no apparent problems, only the PDA side of things works great, but with no backlight, and the phone doesn't work either (and so I binned that idea lol)
Hi all,
Hoping someone could help me. My Dopod has been freezing on start-up and after doing countless hard resets i am stuck at the Windows Mobile splash screen!
I have connected it to my PC, but as Windows Mobile hasn't loaded, ActiveSync can't pick-up my Dopod. This means i cannot update or completely re-flash. Is there a way to do this without ActiveSync?
I am now stuck with a Dopod i cannot use. I have no idea what to do.
can you flash using SD card? have a search, im pretty sure that will work.
Or go through the Bricked thread
Are you sure you're doing hard resets and not soft resets? Generally when a freeze occurs, you would soft-reset.
If you have indeed been doing hard-resets, then you most likely have a hardware issue and there's not much anyone here can do to help that.
Have you updated your ROM in the past? If these freezes started after an update, then it may be a bad update, so you could either try flashing from microSD as suggested above, or boot into the bootloader as per instructions in the wiki and flash from there.
Thanks for your replies guys!
I have tried all that. My son knocked my usb cable from my Dopod whilst it was updating my ROM ... that was the cause of my Dopod current 'brick' state!
My bootloader is SPL-1.09, but i have noticed from here that the Dopod ROM that i require (for Hutchinson '3' - Australia) uses bootloader SPL-1.06. Is it true that i cannot down-grade from 1.09 to 1.06?
I ask this question as i get "Invalid Vendor ID" attempting to flash my Dopod with that ROM. When i don't get that, i get communication errors (Update Error) when attempting to run Hard-SPL-V7.
What could i be doing wrong?
Hey guys,
Think i have worked out that my CID is corrupt, therefore i can't flash any ROM even if i wanted to. I used mtty and after a bit of searching in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-291336.html) i found that the 'info 2' result i got (HTCSF kEØ(HTCE) meant my CID was corrupt.
Hopefully i haven't voided my warranty as i haven't attempted to flash any 3rd party ROMS, only the one on the Dopod website that was accidently stopped when my son tripped over the usb cable.
We shall soon find out!
Hey,
Right, so in my great wisdom I managed to drop my TyTN on its face on the kitchen floor one day and since then it just doesn't do GSM.
On boot, it says "No GSM" below the boot logo, and anything to do with GSM (opening the phone app) causes the device to run slow for a little while then return back to normal without launching the phone app or throwing any error message. Its stuck in permanent "flight mode" as it were.
Sending the phone back to the provider, they turned around and said "On inspection it was found that 3rd party software was loaded on the unit and damaged the unit. Unit is returned without repairs done to it."
I was using one of the ROMS from the forums here which worked fine for a few weeks up till the drop. (I do know which one but I'd prefer not to give anyone a bad name where its not called for, so prefer not to mention it directly).
I will say that it was a fairly new release in june.
Also currently have on boot.
IPL-1.04
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Have since tried re-installing version roms which have made no difference at all.
So:
1: is it possible that the updated OS and flashing the radio etc could have cause the problem described?
2: How do I return the phone to its original radio version and a generic (officially supported) WM5?
3: Is there anything I can do from my side to fix the problem?
Many thanks

Have you tried flashing the original ROM that it came with... Then you can probably take it back to another warranty shop or to HTC for repair... You can also upgrade to Olipro 2.10, you can search for the files, I'm just to lazy to look for it now... If you can't find let me know, and I'll look for it...
Once you upgrade to Oli 2.10, it may make a difference.. Have you tried flashing the radio...? It could very well be a hardware problem that occurred during that sudden stop on the floor...
I'm not to helpful, sorry...
Rob,
Obviously the fall messed up your TyTN, and HTC now refuses to work on it (read save money) because you are running a non-standard firmware. Well, screw that!
Have a look here to start the downgrading process.
Then, go to Leaf's site and download the AKU3 firmware from the Members section.
Flash it to your TyTN.
Then take it back to a different repair centre (not too sure about your options in Grahamstown) and tell them you dropped it, and now it is not working anymore.
Right so trying to get the original (well an club-imate approved) rom installed so that I can try the repair center again...
Based on this:

(Extracted frin JASJAM_wwe_1.31.305.2_1.31.305.104_1.21.31.10_ship.exe)
I get the following:

HERMIMG.nbh -
IPL - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
SPLASH2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
GSM -
OS -
Update in Progress...
</End screen>
And thats where it sits.
Even when trying the recommended usb/HardSPL methods, its gets to about 14% and hangs. I presume due to the GSM module being damaged.
I've also tried .nbh's that only have the GSM stuff, and using the microSD method, it gets about 5% along the progress bar and then halts.
EDIT: I've managed to flash it with an original rom excluding the GSM stuff. Will see what happens at the repair center...

Excellent, hope you get it sorted!
Hi Mates
I was using a Doopod 838 and last week i lost GSM on my phone so i tried to flash the phone and phone stuck on 20%. after the phone wont starts and goes to boot mode, and i am not able to flash the phone.
please some one help me to unlock the phone
thank you

What SPL you got?
If its Hard SPL ver.7 then it may be recoverable - pleasew note the "No GSM" error is pretty much a permanent brick if a couple of things don't work.
1). Try to flash a stock rom (carrier rom) on and see if it gets through that way.
2). Try to find the native radio rom... Most people update this but generally its better off left alone as it is carrier specific - some radio roms cause bad connection issues and/or drain the battery WAY too fast...
If you can't do either of these 2 things you're looking at a brick, Mind you if you haven't flashed Hard SPL you're not gonna be a happy camper either.. LOTS of frustration and hair pulling...
Good Luck...
Having a small issue here. I just picked up a Juno (Tmo branded). Its completely stock, no 3rd party apps.
Anyway I'm trying to flash a new rom (clean rom, 6.1 rom..ect). When I start the flasher, it gets to 2% then fails. The phone reboots and operates normally. I get a error message on the computer telling me there is a problem flashing.
Im running vista sp1 on my macbook. I also tried this on a dell laptop (xp s2), same problems.
BTW: Software Ver on the phone: 1.03.531.4
did you CID unlock?
you might need to do that first so that you can run the Upgrade
Yea I'm pretty sure I CID unlocked it. Maybe I ran it a few times too many, I'm not sure.
I did get it to work. What I did was upgrade the "Official" FW first. I went to the tmobile upgrade site and got the updater from them and updated. That went fine, but it was still tmo branded fw.
The I ran jumpspl.exe, I guess that unlocked it. The unit rebooted but the screen remained off. I then ran the Clean Rom flasher and it worked. The progress bar never appeared on the device but it was on the computer and went up to 100%, device rebooted a few times, took a while each time as it did. Finally I had a usable phone
run jump spl then you upgrade your rom.
