I have T-mobile compact with English ROM
Several weeks ago I flashed it with I-mate ROM from this site. Today I tried to flash with new ROM from swedish Qtec (from this site). Upgrade process was OK (without any mistakes), but when I reboot devise it became dead - I have "Serial" sign when device is disconnected from PC and "USB" - when connected.
I tried to re-flash device, but I get "Country Id Error". Can you help?
I have the same problem, when i tried to upgrade with the roms from edsub topic.
i also get a Model ID error, with the official t-mobile update

hope someone can help us, very soon
Latest update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=363228#363228
Let me first say: I am unsure if my SIM is now unlocked and if it has a CID check. Therefore I'm unsure if the info in the related topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62496 applies. Therefore I'm posting this new topic.
I recently got a Orange SPV M600 which as far as I understand is a HTC Prophet. I am totally new to PDAs but wanting to use it with my T-Mobile sim and with a fair amount of computer knowledge on board decided to unlock it myself using imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
I ran the program and it said the sim was succesfully unlocked. However when I tried to power on the device after that, it was stuck at the 3 color screen only displaying the values:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
This gave me quite a scare because the device is brand new. Soft and hard reboot bring me back to the same screen. This morning I tried running the tool again and the unlocked failed giving me a message that key / imei do not match. After rebooting it now also shows the value RUU at the upper right corner of the screen.
I read some of the posts on this forum and did a little research on Google. I think I know what my next steps should be but I'm terrified to toast my M600.. I already fell in love with it! Could you guys give me feedback before I try the following?

* Follow the steps on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Should that work?
PS: what does the RUU value mean and why did it appear after my 2nd try?
Thanks in advance guys!
Have you tried contacting IMEI-check's support?
RUU is. IIRC, radio unit upgrade and it should not have appeared.
Don't flash the rom, you might need to send it back to orange / HTC and there is no official orange downloadable rom as yet so if the device boots to 'dopod' or whatever they'll know you've messed with it. If the key does not match sounds like the unlocking has screwed your imei. Does the IMEI the app now recognises match the one you paid for the unlock for or the one on the back of the unit/ box?

IMEI-check support:
The unlock has nothing to do with your device problem. You say yourself that it already turned on directly to 3 color screen after you switched it off (sometimes this happens due to problems in HTC flash driver). For a firmware flash you don't need Orange. You can do this on your computer at home.
Both the soft and the hard reset bring me back to the same 3 color screen..

I do not think it co-incidence that you are doing a flash operation ( unlocking) and now the device will not boot. It should reboot after unlocking according to their documentation and if it went to the tri-colour screen something was amiss after the unlocking then, quite possibly becuase of it. The unlock completed succesfully the first time then?
Don't flash the dopod rom, if the IMEI now has a mis-match you may need to send it back to orange for repair / reflashing. They will be able to tell if there is a dopod rom on there and may refuse warranty - I wouldn't mention the unlocking if I were you. There is no official orange rom you can try :-(

I do not have a receipt for the phone.. is the ROM at least the one I should try if I do try one?

In the UK at least you do not need a receipt for the phone - it is based on seriel number.

Once you have tried flashing the other roms they can tell you have been flashing it and may not give warranty service, but hopefully all it really needs is a rom anyway. My warning is just in case it is not the rom that is the issue and you need to send it back.
When you run imei-check's app now what IMEI does it give for the device?
Richard
Good question, I just checked and the IMEI in their tool gives me the same one as I wrote down before the operation. It is the same as on the box and as the one I payed for to get the key for and used the first time around.
I hoped the flash would solve my problems and I tried flashing the M600 with the ROM mentioned above. 100% completed and all looked good until the reboot.. Again it will not go further then the tri-color screen with the exception that the SPL version has changed:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Anything left to try?

Get back to IMEI-check and ask for more help? They may claim that the unit was faulty before unlocking but if so how could the unlocker run? Or try posting at www.modaco.com to see if anyone there has any ideas.
Which country was the device supplied in? Did you check the seriel in the link I gave? If it's from the UK you could send to a friend or collegue to return under warranty without paperwork ;-)
Sorry.
Richard
Well at least we made progress, a hard reset now let's the device boot but.. after I went through the settings I pressed start and it automaticly powered off.
I then inserted my T-Mobile simcard and rebooted again to find myself in the tri-color screen. Another hard reset once again let me reboot but during the boot of Windows Windows it says 'Data crashes. Please contact your service center.'
Where in the Netherlands do you live?
I have succesfully dopotted two M600 phones and I have had one repaired by Orange, for broken speaker. They did not seem to care that I flashed it to dopod.
I might be able to help you out on this one.
send me an e-mail on [email protected]
Thanks,
Robin

How did they try to unlock it?
Richard
hi
i couldn't speak to the guy who tried to unlock it, i spoke to his collegue and all he could say is that he tried to unlock by logs
now he couldn't tell me what did he use
i have tried to hard reset it but it comes back on that screen
:? :? :?
Try to load the no id DOPOD ROM.
This one will install when the M600 is in that 3 colour screen.
I did it and it worked for me.
I tried to CID unlock with a tool that contained a specific WARNING NOT TO USE for a certain ROM version, which of course I did anyway.
The warning was correct. My M600 was stuck.
By reflashing I resolved the problem.
You can always bring it back to Orange and claim that this happened after you've let the battery go dead; you did not get a chance to charge on your 1,5 month holiday ..........
Good luck!

Hello
Can someone help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I left my MDA compact in the car for a few days, I just used it for sat nav, however I think the battery died in the 4 days that I forgot it there, now it wont come on properly, have tried charging it but it just displays when turned on the TMobile logo and then
IPL 1.12
SPL 1.12.0000
GSM 01.12.20
OS 1.12.2.23
Then just stays like that... I have tried reset but it doesnt do anything it just stays like that, would a software update fix this please just in case the firmware has been damaged or something??? how would I do a firmware update, lol, sorry im new to the forums
Hi,
About a year ago, my MDA went crazy. When I restarted it, it just got stuck on the splash screen with IPL/SPL version numbers.
I tried hard reset and reset the phone to manufacturer's default, but I got "format is failed."
I then tried flashing it with Tmobile's upgraded 2.26 rom, but still stuck on the splash screen.
(I called T-Mobile. They thanked me for being with them for 6 years. A valued customer. Then they tell me that my warranty for the phone was over a month ago. They can't help me. Those bastards. Valued customer my ass. As soon as my contract is over with them, I'm taking off. I hate it when they constantly thank me for being loyal, but they won't replace my phone even though it's just one month after the warranty had expired.)
Any ideas/suggestions? Thx.
Bootloader Mode?
try getting into bootloader mode. If it does, all it not lost yet. You can try flashing the rom again.
Post back once you've done trying.
So my LG G2 bricked itself a couple of weeks back and I managed to get LG to 'repair' it and send it back to me, I got it back today and it's locked to Vodaphone (UK) and my SIM is on EE. I need to get an unlock code but unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to enter the code once I get it as the box which usually comes up when a non-accepted sim is inserted is not coming up! How can I unlock my phone to use my EE SIM?
Thank you in advance.
