Hello everyboday! What's up.
I have got a t-mobile mda vario recently. But unfortunately today it was huang, during the following operation:
take out the battery;
insert sim and minisd; (cause i just flashed the 2.26 rom and it obviously successful so i want to put back the sim and sd)
reput the battery;
And the status of the set now:
It coundn't start. The screen will flash in a very short moment as a t-mobile interface and the signal light turn red. And then the set looks like almost bricked.
Insert the charger, the set could enter the 3 colour interface. But use usb cable it didn't work any more.
Please tell me how to solve the aforementioned problem.
Thx a lot.
BTW: What kind of operation should be taken so that the t-mobile mda vario could go into the 3 colour mode.
okay dont panic, your phone isnt bricked. press the camera and soft reset button and it will put it into bootloader mode (3 colour mode) you simply need to reflash your operator rom and then you will be okay. Dont worry, just make sure you get some good charge to it before flashing by using the wall charger.

Hey all
I have an XDA IIi, which was working totally fine. I bought a windows smartphone, which was to replace the IIi as my main phone, so I took the sim out of the IIi and put it in the new phone. Put another sim in the IIi and attempted to power it on, I got nothing, so I put it on the cradle..all I get is a steady red light from the right LED.
When I was powering the phone off initially to take the sim off, I turned the PDA off, removed the cover, slid the red switch, waited a few seconds, and removed the battery etc....
The red light flashes when the battery is removed, and goes steady again when put back in. Sometimes it goes off when put back in, but nothing else happens.
I have tried soft resetting, hard resetting, hard reset while holding down every key I can think of at the same time, but still no go.
Is my IIi dead forever, or is there something that can be done to get it working again?
Thanks all
same thing happened to my friends XDA2 and no one ever was able to reply back nor did he ever figure out what happened to it because his warranty was up and he just bought a new one from someone, if you find out whats wrong please let me know because thats the SAME way his went bad, by changing a SIM card

I take my sim out all the time. is yours unlocked? even if it's locked to o2, it might not accept other o2 simcards. have you tried putting the original sim back in? Hard reset? I've never had it show a RED light before. this is interesting...
I have same problem after I put device on charge and after five - ten minutes his back to life
I too had this problem when i left my m1000 in my coat pocket over the weekend. It was completely dead, plugging it into the cradle to charge just gave me nothing, but if i left it, after around 10 minutes, the rred light came on, then changed to amber after around half an hour.
Phew. just dead battery. Have you tried the other battery that came with your xda ?
Hi, I had this wierd problem the other day, sorted it with a hard reset
Hope this helps.

I was trying to upgrade my rom using xelencin's so i had to pick my mom up and left my mda at home to upgrade i came back home and look at my mda and saw it was on 98% but noticed my monitor was off. I tried moving the mouse around but my freakin comptuer was off. I did a soft reset and all I see is a three colored screen. red, gree, and blue. I tried using the unlock programs but my mda won't connect via activesync. is my phone gone? help!!!
Its normal for a ROM flash to hit 98% and stay there.
The bad news: any data you had on that phone is probably history, unless its on the MiniSD card.
The good news: Your phone isn't likely bricked, if it can boot to that three-color screen.
Plug the phone in, reflash the ROM from an executable from T-mobile, leave it alone when it hits the 98% mark, and you should be fine. Then, reflash to the ROM you want.
Of course, first make sure the battery on the MDA is fully charged, and you have disabled system standby on your PC.

I have a g4 8125 and tried to flash black diamond 2.0 using shelltool. I followed all the instructions, but I may have messed something up. I installed the enablerapi and certspcs files on my phone, but i realized later that i did this after turning off my radio. After flashing I made a hard reset, and now it just comes to the cingular splash screen and shows my ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0) and doesn't load anything. Anyone have any ideas? It won't connect to activesync either.
edit: sorry for my ignorance, thanks for the help though!

Hello there.
This is my first post, and I hopefully pray that I don´t get a "Please Do a search" kind of answer as I have been doing a hard search through the forum but haven´t found what I´m looking for. Probably I´m just using the wrong search terms but english is not my native language so I´m not sure how to look up for this issue.
First, I unlocked the sim of my device by sending it to a third party. Afther that, the phone came with a Wizard-Love OS installed, and finally I got excited and started to mess around with the Shelltool to get the device upgraded to WM6. (It´s a G4 by the way).
First I successfully upgraded to wm6 wee htc wizard v5.2.660, but then I found that the keyboard mapping was all wrong with the shown special characters (they weren´t where they were supposed to be at all), so i tried messing up with the registry trying to select a local language for spanish with no success at all....
Also I was having some issues trying to connect to internet via wi-fi even when I did get connected to the network, but did not test it hard enough.
Then I went farther trying to "shelltool" a Black Diamond 2.0 Touch rom, but then everything became a real mess... The Shelltool said that it was finish only like 4 to 5 minutes after starting so I disconected and Hard Reseted the unit. Don´t remember if I disabled the radio before flashing it, nor if I had the sd card installed on the device at the flashing momment, but definetly i had reinstalled the cert_spcs and EnableRapi cabs prior to this seccond attempt.
After the hard reset, it started but freezed on the first screen showing the ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0). Then I hard reset like two more times, with no luck. Then I entered on the bootloader mode, but after trying that for a while the phone stopped responding. It did not turn off, so I removed the battery. Then when I put the battery back the unit did not turn on at all. Even it did not show the charging red light when I connected it to the usb nor the wall ac adapter. I was devastated... I leaved the unit with the battery out all the night and the next day I reinstalled the battery to see that the device did turn on and did charge, but still it was locked on the splash window.
I tryed to reflash the unit using the bootloader under windows xp, after killing the activesync connection and using the wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WEE_Novii_CF2 rom. The unit showed a progress bar so the pc and after 10-12 minutes it was done. I Hard reseted the unit but then it always started on the bootloader screen as if I was pressing the camera button.
Hard reseted, soft reseted, battery out and in, no luck. Then it went dead again. It did not turn on at all and no charging light. Once again i leaved the unit all day without battery and send it to the friend that had unlocked the sim for me. He just called me and told me that the unit was now up and running again with wizard_love rom. I´m really not sure how he did it. Probably i did something with the sd inserted when it was supposed to be out. I did flashed the wizard love on bootloader with the sd inserted but i´m not sure if that could have make the mess.
I would like to know if anyone have had this kind of lock up and how to deal with it (how much time to leave the battery out, etc). Also I will love to know how did my friend (he wont tell me as is it´s bussines and he charges for it) finally restarted my unit flashing wizard_love again, as I´m still too curious to not try to flash my unit again and probably be on the same mess once again.
Thanks in advance.
That's a lovely 1st post. If every one is to be like that.. it would be just to nice to help others.
Anyway, this may not sound logical, but I get problems with Shelltools when I do not have the official ROM flashed before another flash. What I would suggest is that, you ought to have an official ROM (check Wiki to download your official ROM flashing EXE), which seems to get me out of trouble a few times.
Also, it maybe wise to check your battery before any flashing attempt, make sure it is 100% (60% will do mostly, but in case of an emergency, that 40% helps). It cases where a phone doesn't go charge/bootloader, it is battery problem. The overnight thingy that you've done, probably rest the battery long enough to boost it to a charge (e.g. how you get a blink when you switch off a torchlight for period of time on a low batt).
Good also among your information, tell us the IPL/SPL/Radio on the ROM you are using.
My current problem is with my MDA bought from eBay.
Short version of the problem: Brought back to life a completely lifeless MDA (by removing camera flashlight and vibrator unit), successfully flashed it but flashed it one too many times so it is stuck in bootloader mode. Now MDA cannot connect to USB without freezing to a white screen. After putting back the camera flashlight and vibrator unit, MDA is back to being lifeless. What do you think the problem is? Faulty mainboard or a MDA flashed one too many times. Can we declare this MDA being a paperweight? Many thanks for any help and suggestions!!
Long version of the problem:
It began as a non-booting, non-charging, lifeless MDA. I brought it back to life momentarily by taking out the camera flashlight and vibrator unit. I was able to successfully flash the unit and was able to boot the phone using Wizard Love's ROM. I reassembled the camera flashlight and vibrator unit and the MDA would not turn on. At this point I was relieved the problem was only this.. but it's not.
Even with the successful flashing, the unit would function fine (it was even able to charge and connect with activesync) until I tried to install a program, or watch streaming videos. The result would be a freeze and then the screen would fade to white. I would have to take out the battery and wait a few seconds and try again.
Unfortunately, being a flashing addict I have flashed it one too many times and not taking caution (as this unit will occasionally fail and the screen will turn white) the last time I attempted flashing, the unit froze after a certain percentage of flashing. After NOT carefully reading the many threads on how to revive a bricked phone, I tried to do an SD flash using a SD backup from my other working MDA. I thought it flashed successfully.. but no boot occurred. I was able to reflash using Wizard Love's ROM and then flash the T-mobile stock 2.26 ROM. At this point I did not learn my lesson and I attempted to flash Touch No Evil ROM. The result was a freeze during flashing process and screen fading to white.
At this point the phone will enter bootloader mode when powered on, when hard-reset is done, or when camera is held and USB plugged in (it does show USB at the bottom left corner and the PC recognizes it)
What it fails to do is stay alive. It will freeze and screen fades to white when the ROM Update utility tries to connect to it. And will freeze and fade to white upon USB reconnection right after, therefore I have to remove the battery for 10 seconds and try again. And this is the current status of my MDA.
Hi All
My Father has an SPV M5000 (HTC Universal). He has unlocked the SIM lock from IMEI number some time ago.
Recently it started going screwy and so he did a soft reset and then it wont turn on at all.
He has let me play with it and if I try a hard reset it comes up with the screen saying "press 0 to restore...", but if you press 0 it says "clearing now" and then appears to switch off. If you press x it also appears to switch off.
You can enter bootloader mode and it displays SERIAL on the screen - when you plug it in to a PC the screen changes to USB. But when I try connecting using MTTY I get no USB port - although selecting COM5 seems to open a command prompt window - but to be honest I dont know where to go from here.
If I try a soft reset it seems to do nothing - although the orange charging light blinks once.
With it connected to a PC in bootloader mode I was able to reflash the ROM and it went through all three stages correctly and indicated it had been successful - but when you finish with a hard reset it appears to turn off.
Before I use it to wedge my living room door open, can anyone offer any advice? I have perused the forum, but cannot find anything which seems to match the fault I am getting.
Thanks in advance

It is possible that the battery had it's day and can't sustain the full on mode. I suggest trying with another fully charged battery.
Thanks Enigma... but it is a new battery and is fully charged - I too have an M5000 and I have swapped the batteries over to check this.
Thanks
