help! MDA won't run on battery

Hello, please if anyone knows the solution to my problem:
I bought a Tmobile MDA from a person who just flashed it with a Tmobile demo rom v4.21
MDA works normally when on craddle (charger) but when on battery it goes dead after i press power button... So, when I take it off the craddle it works normally on battery (battery is supposed to be brand new) but once turned off, the screen blinks once and MDA is dead.
When I just put it on craddle for a second i can turn it on and it works normally again...even on battery...
He is out of town and will be back on friday. He sais that this is a software problem and will be solved by flashing with XDA developer ROM.
Could that be true? The battery seems to bi OK until I press the power button...
I tried flashing ROM via USB but I get error 011 - execute remote communication program error....
Please help...
Thx in advance

hi. this is very strange to me. The software doesn't cause this problem. my be you look around the connector if the one of the bin is bent or broken. I am not sure but if you think the software problem, go ahead and upgrade the rom.

Thanxs for reply.
but MDA works on battery until it turns off automatically (power save) or if I press power button... When on craddle, power button works normally...
I can make calls and everything on battery but when I turn it off - id goes dead ((

Charmer will not boot unless connected to USB ?

Hi All,
I have a strange problem I wish to share (don't worry its with my Charmer !)
I am not sure when it started occuring, but now it will only boot with the USB connected. Without it I get a hangup on the 'Wondows Mobile' blue screen. Connect the USB and the version numbers on the T-Mobile boot screen come up much quicker and then after about 1 minute of the Windows blue screen it is on.
It is really weird ?
The onlys changes I have made is the registry memory improvements (mentioned in this forum) to try and get a little extra speed. I am pretty sure it did not start immediately after that though.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this
and if so
how did you overcome the problem.
Thanks.

yes, it is weird.
what you can do is
(1) see if it is battery. try connect it to your charger to see it boots up. If so, maybe it is a batteyr/power problem
(2) check if it is what you've done - back up (using any software) and hardreset your device. if you device is not able to boot up after hardreset, it is a hardware fault, have it serviced

Guys, I have the same problem with Time & date backup when change main battery but with more sympthoms:
Aprox. 1 month of using my XDA mini S (original O2 UK ROM) I faced to problem which seems to be HW status.
I didnt not change WM5, I did not change ROM and no new soft has been installed during last month. I have no backup manager like SPBackup or
Backup manager installed on miniSD card (or in main memory) and no backup process is planned in Today screen.
PROBLEM:
It is not possible to boot Windows Mobile after soft reset WITHOUT ORIGINAL wall charger. It does not matter if I make soft reset 5x-10times, PDA frozen on
WM5 booting logo and keeps like that for hours with backlight ON.
Neither USB-PC cable connections nor other charger (from GPS receiver 500mAh) does not help to boot WM5.
I found out, even if PDA is POWER off (Power button press for more than 3sek) and I want to turn it on, PDA freezes on Windows Mobile window.
I got answer from one hungarian service point like:
"We know the symptom that you described below. Solution for that is a software update. Unfortunately there is a built in protection in upgrading package and we can not update phone software of other country's phone."
MY SOLUTIONS:
I doubt about correct solution from service because:
I make a miniUSB cable (like for charger) and connect other main battery to this cable. When second battery is connetted instead of original charger, XDA mini S boots and restarts correctly without freezing on WM screen.
I tried to to test how original backup baterry (in fact capacitor) works - parameters in Service manual at page 81 (CG1, Gold cap, 0,07F, 70 Ohm, 3.3V, Part number 16H00012-00M).
The I connect a capacitor 3.3V, 0.02F to this USB cable. I charge a capacitor externally and try to restart device with capacitor connected on USB cable (now without 2nd battery). Everything was OK.
Then I completely discharge externall capacitor and interesting was, that device can boots up correctly even with discharded capacitor because during booting, capacitor has a time (maybe 5-15s) to recharge.
CONCLUSION:
I think the backup capacitor (Part number 16H00012-00M) is damaged.
Do you know idea where to buy it on web (the best in Central Europe for me)?
Now with external capacitor on miniUSB cable in my pocket, it allows me to make soft reset or reset if device freeze anywhere at the street without 240V original charger. "What a Soviet solution ;-)". BUT WORKS! ;-)

02 Xda Hard reset every few seconds and no charge

I have an 02 XDA IIs on 2003 updated to most recent software for 2003 via o2 site etc
Ok so I took my PDA away for a few days over christmas and the batterry ran down, and I had forgot the charger so obviously it wouldnt turn on.
I got home and put it in the charger cradle, and it wanted to do a hard reset, so I went through with that and after a few seconds the screen goes black and it then goes ding and up comes hard reset again.
It does not hard reset at a certain point of setup as if you do the process quicker it will still hard reset say after, 10-20 seconds, usually the same every time I think.
Whilst off the cradle, you cannot even switch it on and no light shows or soft reset does not work.
In the cradle only the above which I described happens...
Any help is much appreciated

hi.. seems to be a real trouble... anyway try to re-load the rom on it... use your wm2003 cdrom or dowload from p2p or forum wm2003 on your language, then try to flash the device following on screen infos...
hope this will help,
all the best,
storm

Have you checked your sync port?
Sounds to me like pins 20,21,22 may be damaged in your charger (sync) port, one may be touching the body of the port and causing a short, creating a hard reset. Also this might be the reason why it is not charging. IMHO regards

hi sam england
is your cradle plugged into the wall socket? usb does NOT provide enough energy for the device to 'survive' the reboot. i have this 'problem' almost every time i let i discharge to much.
so plug a good idea is to charge your device with the supplied separate charger.
hope it helps ....
regards ize|man

hardware button problam i think..............
i think that your both hardware buttons softrest and power swich are jam or lock thats why it doesn't work and because of them the phone get hardreset when ever you plugin charger or cradel
if you want any help about hardware of any htc products plz connect me on my e-mail id

if you have a cradle with the battery charger, take out your battery, charge it, and put it back in the unit
It should get through its start up routine

Help me my xda miniS can not recharge,sync with pc,usb to pc.

hey guy ,i don't know how to fix this.my wizard can't charge .any time i put it in to cradle i see on the battery is 0% and the red flashing light (it must always stay red on charge) if i pull the cradle out it'll shutdown and i have to restart it.any one help me to find out where's the damage and how can i get my xda back to normal. thanks for helping me!

fixing XDA mini
HI,
It sounds like the mini usb connector on the bottom of your XDA is suffering from bad solder joints. Only way to fix that is to open it up and re-solder them - not an easy job!
It is also possible that your battery has just had it - have you tried replacing it?
Regards,
John

yeap! i tried to replace it by another one but it doesn't work.( can not charge,no usb connections, no sync) i think the power chip ( that the way i call it cause' i do not know how to call it) was fail .Everything works well except the mini usb connector. describe it again : when i put the recharger into my wizard it says (" recharging..." "main battery 0%") in about 20 seconds .after that the recharge light start flashing, and if i disconnect the recharger my wizard will shutdown and i have to restart it again.

It wont turn on after trying to update

My name is carlos and im new in the forum.
This is my problem. I have an HTC Imagio. I tryied to update it but i fail because my phone wont turn on again. I dont know what can i do because I new in the htc world and I dont know how can I start.
Please heeeeeeelpppppp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Please provide some more details: Does it power on at all? Is it stuck on a certain screen? Please describe what's going on.

Look, the phone doesnt turn on, it cant enter to the soft-reset or the hard-reset. When I pluged to the computer, I can heard an a disconected sound (like, when you disconect a usb). The computer recognize it as an a Damage Dispositive. I didnt try charge the battery in a universal charger yet, but thats it all the info that I can give you.
I hope you can have an a solution

So, have you tried to charge the phone yet?
When you plug it in, either to the wall charger or to a computer through a USB cable, does the little red light come on?
With the battery charged and turning the phone on, does it do ANYTHING?
If it truly will not do ANYTHING, you most likely DO have a dead phone - but this is not a common occurance.

when I had trying to charge the phone on the wall, the red light wont come on.
I think that I would like to try with a universal charger. Do you have any other method to fix my problem??

What did u flash? A Hspl or an rom/radio image? If u charge the batery with universal charger, and u pres volume down an power does the device enter in a tricolor screen?

Unbrick
Unbrick a phone just can be made with JTAG tools...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you tried soft reset (red button next to the battery) and volume down? This should have take you directly to the ROM installation boot screen... or whatever they call it these days. If that does happen you can plug it into the computer and install the MR1 or MR2 update..
