Has anybody had a problem with the XDA Exec before, where after performing a soft reset, the device does not come back?
I reset mine earlier, and now can only get the screen to show something if I attempt a hard reset, but as soon as I press 0 to do a reset, or x to exit, the XDA just go's off.
The battery is almost fully charged, and when I plug into either the charger, or the USB cable, the right hand side LED flashes red when I try to do a reset.
It's got me baffled. The battery has been fine for a long time, I still get 2 - 3 days use out of it before it needs charging again, so that makes me think it's not the battery.
Anyone got any ideas? I'd be eternally grateful.
Sussed it!
I googled it, and found someone who suggested forcing the XDA into bootloader mode, by pressing power + light + reset, and when I plugged back into USB it didn't give me an error in Windows, so attempted a reload of the ROM, and IT WORKED! YAY!
So, if anyone else has a similar prob, and is prepared to try it, give it a go, it worked for me.

Hi, my device was low on battery and it went blank. Then I recharged it. After the recharge, the power button press started to soft reset the device and it got stuck at the blue windows mobile screen. After a few hard resets the device went totally blank. I took the battery out waited for a couple of hours, then put it on but no change in the situation. Now when I try to hard reset (camera+conn+soft reset) nothing happens. When I put connect it to the charger, nothing happens as well.
please help I am going mad in here.

use original battery and original charger. be patient, just let it connected long time. (this in case your battery was fully discharged and you did not no use your device for long time)
i am read that it stucks with blue windows well it is window mobile so you not have really blue window, but i think you mean the splash screen.
maybe you have downgraded your device somehow? If so, upgrade it again and it will not stuck any more at the "blue window"
many thanks. my i-mate is plugged in for power now.. there are no lights showing up as well.. i am being patient.. lets see how it goes.
It sounds to me that you have a problem with the battery connectors or maybe the battery it self.
I once let my Jamin run down (when I accidentally left MP3's playing over night) and it refused to boot (stuck on the splash screen just like yours).
Fortunately for me, once I connected the power supply, the problem went away.
If you don't see the orange "charging" light check all connections, make sure the battery is installed properly and the contact surfaces on it are clean, make sure the power supply is plugged in tightly and the wall socket has power.
If nothing helps you'll probably need a new battery.
Many Thanks.. I will order a new battery and see if it works. Very unlucky situation to be left Jaminless on the beach during my summer holiday..
My wizard was out of battery last night and this morning I just plug it in for charge and when I turn it on I got this message " Press Send to restore factory default, other keys to quit" I try to push other keys for so many time and nothing goes up It just stuck on the the black screen with that message, even I try to soft reset or hard reset.
Can somebody please help me out with this.

As I mentioned before I tried to hit every single button again and again for hundred time but nothing happened...
Because you let the battery completely wash out power so device cannot complete boot procedure. Try plug USB cable and leave for 30m. It should be in charged mode (the device still not boot untill you press power button)
Or you can recharge the battery manually: using USB cable, cut it off and using red and black wire, red wire is (+) connect with (+) terminal on bettery and leave it for an hour. CAUTION: I have never used this way, so please search the exactly procedure to be sure it's safe for you battery and you in doing this work.
From what I've read here (not from experience, however) the wall charger is the most reliable way to charge a dead DEAD battery. This will be best accomplished by leaving the phone off.
If, on the other hand, you think the battery is charged but you cannot get past that screen, I suggest you download the default ROM for your phone's service (mine would be a Cingular/AT&T ROM, for example), and try to do a total wipe/reload of the OS.
I'm no expert, however, so you might want to hold out for clearer heads...
I'm hoping to get some help with this...
Bought the Jasjar apparently with a bad battery... you would dissconect from the charger and it would go for a bit then die, reconnect to the charger and it would go fine.
Now, had it disconnected it died again but this time it wont start up again when connected to the charger. No red charging light.
Soft reset does nothing
Hard reset brings up the "press zero to restore press x to cancel", pressing either and it just dies again.
got a new battery, no change (dont know what the charge of the battery is like).... noticed when you remove the battery the red charge light comes on.... goes off as soon as the battery is inserted.
any advice or help would really be appreciated.
also
is there a way to check the charge of the battery out of the machine?

I would recommend to reflash your ROM, if not have one/ don´t know how
read the Wiki, you will find all you need there
Good luck
I have this exact same problem, I have a feeling it is the battery. Anyone know?
I put a new battery in, with no change unfortunatly.
I cant update the rom, you cant get to the bootloader, the only screen you can get to is hard reset screen.... but it dies again whatever option you choose.
Hey Bthorn, I was able to fix my device. It was not the battery.
All I did was reflash the ROM.
For this to work for you, you need to be able to enter Bootloader mode. Hold the Backlight Button + Power Button then press the Reset button. If you get to a screen that says "serial" and "v.xx" then you are good.
See the Wiki for details on how to continue:

If you really can't get to the Bootloader though I don't know what else to do. Some other people suggest using the mtty method:

Unfortunatly you cant get to the bootloader mode to reset anything.
Hello, a while back I posted a charging problem, which turned out to be the Mini-USB and Wall Charger was bent, and before that, the Mini USB outlet in the phone broke entirely. Well, another problem has arisen, as finally got a new charger yesterday, and worked perfectly. So, I shut it off, and left it to charge overnight. Now, the problem? All of a sudden, it refuses to boot. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, and a full minute. Nothing. Any suggestions?
~Infinity
nothing AT ALL? or the screen turns on and gets stuck?
if nothing at all happens, try the battery jump start method
Well, after constant trying at starting the phone, I managed to have it boot after hours. What happened? During the boot,where it displays Windows Mobile 6, a line appeared, and the phone darkened, and then crashed.
What the hell.
I suggest a hard reset......

....................And how can I hard reset when it doesn't boot, and whenever it does, crashes during it?
Anyone that's here help?
I'm currently having the same problem with mine. Hard resetting didn't work for me but you may as well try it.
If you can get it to start booting for just a few seconds you can hard reset it without loading the operating system. As soon as you get it to turn on, hold down the Wifi and Voice command buttons (one's on the left, one on the right). After holding those down, press the soft reset button (the little button on the right that you can press with your stylus) very quickly and release it. If you hold the soft reset button too long, it will perform a regular soft reset and you'll have to start over, so do that quickly.
A black screen should come up and tell you to press your send button to hard reset your phone.
I have similar problem,It's turn on to the logo that's always shown when boot and then it show the logo till it discharged.I tried hard reset,but it's still the same,i post 2 topic's in this website and no one help me
i too am facing the same problem, i was able to start it a few times but it crashed after a few seconds each time. i m gonna charge it all night and see if it starts. right now all i m getting is the red led. i really hope someone finds a solution soon.
With me it was my battery that caused the problem. Try it with the battery of another wizard. Succes, Rietje
ok so i charged it for more than 12 hours and my wizadr still didnt start.
I then got a NEW BATTERY and my wizard turned on within the very moment i pressed the power button.
So any one who is facing a similar problem should try a new battery.
Yea,this is a second time when i have this problem.I both A new battery,BUT IT STILL THE SAME!!!
First time when i both a new battery it was working fine,but now the battery won't help

try a battery frm a friends phone. u ll be sure that the battery u r using works fine. if ur phone still doesnt work then u need to have it checked.
i have same problem,,and i use T-Mobile MDA Vario
is it just battery problem or not?and if the PDA inactive it can still charge or not?
and i usually use blackberry charger to charge my PDA,is it ok?and is there any possibility my PDA can't work again?i hope not
pls help me..
Well for starters, charging your phone overnight will probably damage the battery over time. It's only the newer phones and batteries that are able to withstand extended overcharging times without serious damage to the battery. With older phones including the K-JAM/MDA Vario, the battery is meant to be charged till its full, and no more. If you overcharge it, you run the risk of damaging your battery and possibly the phone too.
If a new battery hasn't fixed your problem, the problem lies in your phone's mainboard.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on a computer to see if anything happens.
I've got a bog standard O2 XDA Exec (Universal) which I haven't used for ages, so I got it out, connected it to the pc to charge it and nothing happened.
I thought it might be the battery so I bought a new one and the same thing happened, so I bought an external charger, charged the battery and tried again, and it still won't switch on.
I've tried a hard reset, and get the press 0 or press X screen but nothing appears to happen!
I can get it into bootloader mode where it says 'serial' at the top of the screen and 'v 1.00' at the bottom.
Is there anything else I need to do to get it to switch on?
Many thanks in advance,
Neil
You may look into the sticky guide, good luck
If you can get into bootloader mode, have you tried reflashing?
