i was installing new rom on my device.when it was 12%, the computer got locked and i had to reset.Now,my baby did not reflash again.i tried again but himaupragadeutility gave : communication problem. what can i do now? can anyone help me? so a few people know this device, the others even do not know what pda is. what i can do?????????????????????????????
Try putting your device into bootloader mode and making sure your XDA is plugged into the mains as well. There's also an upgrade program which bypasses country id checks.
Good luck.
I got the same problem with my Qtek 2020i today!!!!!
The device is dead and i can't put it into bootloader mode!
I need your help please
Try taking the battery out for about 1 hour. This will run the backup battery down therefore wiping the ram. Put the battery back in, connect it to the mains and put it into bootloader by pressing power, action and reset for about 3-5 seconds until serial appears on screen. No backlight so look carefully.
I tried to remove the battrey for 1 hour but it's still the same!
any way thanks for trying to help pug.
All started with trying to upgrade(rewrite) the GSM part because the Hermes had problems with phone part - when trying to call - the phone stop responding, bus the pda part sill worked.
So - I tried and tried and tried again, reading many threads about HARD SPL,Flashing radio, etc. Nothing worked..
In the end "i managed" to kill GSM - phone had "No Gsm" on boot-up.
From there i tried to downgrade SPL to 1.04 so that i try to "raw" rewrite the GSM part.
But something went terribly wrong, and while downgrading SPL, the phone suddently shutdown and never opened again.
Now i have the folowing situation: NO BOOTLOADER, no usb conectivity, nothing
This means that i cannot connect via USB whatever i try.
Is there any hope for me? or is it TOTALLY BRICKED?
Any help is apreciated!! I can even dismantle the mobile if there is any way to flash it via some kind of jtag connection...anything ...
The folks at www.imei-check.com can do the JTAG flashing. Just email them. It would be costly for you to do it yourself...
Are you saying that the phone won't turn on at all or that it does but you can't get a bootloader screen?
Have you tried taking the battery out for a while? Have you tried flashing an OEM rom and radio compatible with your device off an SD card?
All of this info is in the wiki, as are OEM roms you can flash.
Let us know how you get on.
Good luck.

Try this:
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber
5.) Soft Reset
@wacky.banana: The phone is totaly dead: no bootloader, doesn't boot at all, doesn't seem to have any USB conectivity at all. Flashing from micro sd doesn't work : probably because the bootloader isn't working.
@drummer10630: i'll check with imei-chek about jtag flashing, especially the price and shiping costs.thanks
@markafreeman: I tried, but when i put the battery in, the red light goes off, not to amber . no soft or hard reset helps. not even leaving the battery out for 2 weeks - i had tried that too . thanks anyway.
Anything else I can try? - phone totaly dead, no bootloder, no usb conectivity - cannot use mtty, cannot flash from microsd
I had to get a replacement device at that point when it happened to me.
Maybe someone else know a way to get it working.
Good luck.
get onto orange
tell them you dropped the phone
and it crashed and wouldnt turn on
so you managed to hard reset it
and it crashed an ****ed up
they'll replace it
well they will send it to HTC
who just replace the handset rather than repair it
Hi dancameo2k , maybe you will not remember but plz:
I ve bought recenty an spv m3100, im effortless trying to flash the rom to an wm6 version.
Like you ive started with the hardsppl flash thing to prevent bricking it and prior to sd flashing... and im not sure if its workin...
plz can you explain in detail how did you bricked it??? thx!!!!
the rom you used to flash was an american version or european one???
I unlocked a Cingular 8125 and went to load TNT Professional ROM. The phone kept losing communication at 99% and when I went to reload the original ROM from HTC's site, now I have NO O/S. I DO have another one, but my wife is using it until we get her a pink BlackJackII. I really like these phones, and can't believe I crashed this one! I don't have any Mini-SD cards. Any way to rebuild this thing?
Nobody has any ideas for me? I really need to get this phone running again!
Your not using Vista are you?
Most comm errors are due to weak or discharged battery,not having enough juice to complete the the flash,get it fully charged and try again,secondly,Yes! don't use winVista.
Download the official stock rom and flash to recover back.Get the phone in Bootloaders (RGB screen) hook up the phone and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloaders,if its there,run the rom to flash,it'll start to flash,but if small usb is not present than most probably its a comm fault.
I was using a Win2K machine. I had 2 batteries that were fully charged. I have a friend that will lend me his miniSD adapter and use my 1gig microSD card to get the info off my wife's phone and copy it to this one. He has a Sprint version of the AT&T Tilt. Might see if he wants to check out this site.
OK. I have access to a miniSD card now. Do I just take my wife's 8125, make a backup from it, then put the card in the bricked phone and load bootloader?
Read this thread for more specific instructions :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963
But this method will only work if both the devices are already CID unlocked.Secondly,most important,both the devices shud be of same DOC Chip version,G3 or G4.If you back up a rom of G3 on a G4 device,it'll brick it and vice versa,make sure both the devices are of same DOC Chip version.
They are both G3's. I think they may even be from the same batch. If I unlock hers, won't I lose all her data?
YUP ! but first make a back up of all the personal data on her phone to your pc,for this use either 'PimBackup' or any similar back up application and than unlock it.Its necessary to have both phones CID unlock,otherwise,this method won't work.
OK, I used Lokiwiz 3beta and superCID unlocked the other one. When I run mtty, and use the r2sd all command, I get
R2SDBackup()-Download type=5
usTotalBlock= 1 sizeof(SDCARD_SIGNATRUE_TABLE)=512
I have left it sitting there for an hour and nothing else happens. Isn't it supposed to have several more lines of text scroll by? Also, I can't figure out how to get the dead one to boot to the miniSD.
ok,did you read the method carefully,the link I posted above ? you are getting it correctly.
This methods involves many steps.
Step 1.
Back up all the data on your wife's phone to your pc with 'PIMbackup',than downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx either through flashing 'Button's Rom 1.05 or you can even flash official stock rom Aku1 for this,when getting IPL/SPL 1.xx either way,apply lokiwiz02b and not lokiwiz 3beta to CID unlock your wife's phone,or you can use WST_4.2.2 tool also to CID unlock it,but its must to have IPL/SPL 1.xx to CID unlock in both the ways.Only after getting the phone CID unlocked,you can Backup the rom on a miniSD card.
Step 2.
After successfully back up of the rom on miniSD card,insert this card in your dead phone and get the phone into Bootloaders mode (RGB screen).
Step 3.
Run the MTTY command to back up from miniSD card.This is only possible if you already have this phone CID unlocked,otherwise it won't work.
Both the devices must be CID unlocked.
Although,I'm still not sure if it works,but there's no harm to try,may be it gets going.
Is the progress bar supposed to change back and forth from blue-green to red while flashing?
YUP ! it changes during flash,but it'll become green on 100% completion and the phone reboots.
OK. I can't get this thing to take the WizardLove ROM, can't find Button's ROM, but I am trying to load the XDAMiniS ROM now. On my third try and the SPL still says 2.25. Battery is fully charged and I get an immediate connection failure trying to load WizardLove. I really wish I could find the original Cingular ROM for this phone, not the new(er) update.
Download Cigular official stock rom from here :-

I am just about ready to give up on this thing. No matter what I do, when I try to boot it up regular, it still keeps freezing up and when I try to do a hard reset, I get a format is failed error message.
Last ditch effort
Can I use WST to make a backup RUU from the working phone and flash that to the dead one? All other attempts have failed to restore this phone.
I dont think so
Men you are already doing everything!!!
Does you have mtty... try this please it may works for you let us know what happend please...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420785 the man in this thread stucks on splash screen so read just the mtty steps.
BTW does you unlock your wife's phone... is yours unlocked too? before do it...please respond.
The hope dies at the end!!!!! we have so much to´pics about this issue... why you are runing windows 2000? nad make upgrades? or does I missunderstood? extremely recomended Win XP.
I have Vista at home, and I read where many people here say that you can't do reflashes with Vista, so I use my computer at work, which runs Win2K. I haven't unlocked the second phone, but I thought that I did the first one. That was why I went to flash it. I wonder if the unlock didn't take and that put me in this predicament.
I understand now
Maybe a mistake using windows milenium or 2000 or whatever...
So if it say format failed i cant imagine other thing that do the thing i post you... so if you got questions about clear DOC Chip ask everything...
when you already get everything in a XP machine tell us please oh just for a recomendation unplug the minisd and during the process the mtty working on some lines dont launch programs check your USB cable maybe with a little scratch and moving makes a false contact at all.
Hi,
I really need help seriously
Today I upgraded my P3450 to Onnyx Ultimate 4.8 and it was successfull.
Then I think again, I want to go back to original shipped ROM that I've backup before.
I do as mentioned on this page :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom
I used the complete backup to restore the ROM. ( I made 2 backup files, first only OS and Ext ROM, 2nd All of them).
It run success until 100%, then the device reset, and after that it never power ON again.
What should I do?
Please, HELP, it is about one week I bought this PDA (
Thanks
Please Note the condition for the device :
1. With the battery inside, I plug in the charger, the orange light never ON. Completely dead.
2. There's no problem with the battery. I have friend who has ELF , I put my battery on his ELF, his ELF run normally.
Try removing battery than boot your phone in bootloader.
If it starts try flashing a shipped rom.
thanks for your reply, I've tried but nothing happened.
What was my mistake?
Before I upgraded, I've dumped my ROM. using the utilities as mentioned here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom
I made two backup :
* One backup with the OS and ExtROM only (for others to use)
* And another backup with everything included (for yourself only, for warranty or selling purposes).
After that, seems everything to be Okay, and then I did as mentioned in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
and then I flash Onyx Ultimate 4.8. And, I did it!!!
But then, when the device reboot, I saw a thin horisontal line on the top of the LCD. As I worried about my device, then I decided to go back to original ROM.
I did again this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
this is to flash any SPL: either update to hardspl this way or flash another spl over hardspl. (copied from other post)
0. make sure your device is synced to activesync!!
1. Run the elf-uspl.exe from ELF_USPL_2.26.0000.zip
2. Watch Screen and Press Enter When Asked.
3. Screen should Jump to White on Phone and on PC Flashing Loading Bar will Show.
4. Stuck in Black Ducky Loading Screen?, check Active Sync Connection or Do a hard reset on Phone first. But be sure to do the last Actual Flashing in White Screen. Sometimes this needs a few tries to go through white screen.
5. Done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And I overwrite the .nbh file with the Complete ROM that I have dumped before.
Everything seems to be Okay, it uploaded 100%, then the disaster happened !!!!
The device went off, and it never get on again. Until now. I've tried many ways to make it On :
1. Remove the battery, and then plug it again, turn the power ON, and it still go off.
2. Remove the battery, plug in charger with no battery, try to power ON, still off.
3 Remove the battery, plug in the charger with no battery, push the camera button and reset button on the same time, nothing happened.
Please help me, I really frustated here What was my activity that could cause a damage to my Elf?
I've tried a repair man and he said that there's no J-Tag to turn on my P3450, I must change the machine to the new one....

Hi, I had same problem the other day just I could not power up my device after down grading, my device just rejected to work and went dead.
So I made the following steps then I was able to get it work in bootloader option only:
- Take the battry out
- Take the sim card out
- Take the memory card out
- wait for 1 to 3 minutes
- replace the battry back
- hold on the camera botton then press the power botton and hold it.
if it did not work, bring the battery out then replace it back then try press
the camera botton and press the power botton while keep on clicking the
camer botton, it should come to bootloader status. Wish you good luck.

Hi..thanks for your answer. I've done it but nothing happened. I really start to worry that my device really..really death.
When you're in that condition, did you plug the charger to the PDA while the battery still on it? Was the LED light up, green or orange? My problem is, there's no light up at all...no response
Could you make what happened clearer?
Did you flash an entire NBH image, SPL & IPL included, while using HardSPL?
Trying to replace HardSPL with a stock SPL has caused issues before.
HardSPL cannot be simply overwrited by a stock SPL.
Check out this thread to remove HSPL.

I think you're right on this one : Did you flash an entire NBH image, SPL & IPL included, while using HardSPL?
I thought I wanted to get back to factory default by flashing the complete NBH file, which include :OS, Ext. ROM, Radio, Splash, SPL, and IPL H3.
I run the "elf-uspl.exe" in the folder named "USPL_2.28.0000 with IPL_2.27", which I downloaded from this thread : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom
(it was extracted from TOOLS).
after that I uploaded the complete ROM that I have backed up before. Actually I made two backups, one complete, the other only OS & Ext ROM.
guess my mistake is I restore the complete one.
If my device can not power ON at all (even when I plug in the charger, the light indicator not ON), can I still repair this?
htc will nt accept it ..but u can try with service centers..
There's one new fact I just found out today.
I have a friend with the same ELF as mine.
When I put my battery on his ELF, his ELF also can not power ON. But I still can charge my battery on his ELF and it shows 0% !!!!
I firmly believe that yesterday when I downgraded my ELF from Onnyx to its backup original ROM, the battery is still more than 90%, as I've checked it before.
Is it possible that teh conflict of Hard SPL and my original backup ROM drain the battery so fast? I am now holding my friend's battery, but I scare to put it on my ELF as I don't want to damage his battery, worry that there's some short circuit.
The other problem :
1. When I put my battery on my friend's ELF and plug in the charger, the light indicator shows orange light, sign that it is being charged.
2. When I put my battery on my friend's ELF and plug in the charger, the light indicator shows nothing, it is definitely OFF.
Any suggestion for my case?
Charge your battery in your friend's phone and try it in your phone ... and tell us....

I'm sorry if I'm not getting it right.. but you are contradicting yourself..
I mean when you put your battery in your friend's elf and plug in the charger.. does the indicator show orange light or not???!!

Yes, it is charged and shows orange light on my friend's ELF.
But when I put on mine, the light doesn't turn ON at all. Seems that mine can not charge the battery.
I've tried this way :
1. removed the battery and left the device alone for a few hours - no luck
2. charged the battery using a wall charger - no luck
3. removed sd card and sim card and tried the alternative reset at this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=Elf_Resets using a wall charger. device booted into tricolor mode.
4. did the same alternative reset with a usb charger. once the device was in tricolor mode, flashed a cooked rom.
But unfortunately, there's nothing happened

sorry if i'm asking too many questions but what does the tricolor boot screen show?? (IPL/SPL) cause if the SPL is x.xx.cmon .. then HardSPL is still there and you would (probably) be able to flash another ROM..
is there a small "RUU" written the top write corner of the screen?? (written in white)

NOP, I am glad if somebody ask, means that there's someone who watching my thread.
The problem is, my Touch is not ON at all. totally dead. No light indicator, no power ON, just dead.
updated :
I have charged my battery until full 100%.
I did put on my device, holding the camera button while power ON, and still nothing happened. just dead.
did u try a hard reset ?? you can do it by holding the Call & End buttons and reseting with the stylus.. a confirmation msg will appear press the OK button (the large one in the middle)..
hope that will do you any good :S
I did hard reset, many times, but still can not work
I almost desperate thinking my dead ELF need some miraculuous to make it ON
hey bro i sent you my e-mail in a private msg so we can try solving this together in a better way..
Did you at least read the sticky thread entitled "Unbricker"??
If you cannot get to bootloader it usually means your battery is dead... or the device is fried. Try charging it on the wall charger for at least 20 minutes again.
only soln is to replace the entire motherboard
i did the same thing to my friend's mobile and it got totally dead
then i read that never to reinstall the original rom n never to downgrade your spl or roms
only soln is to get it repaired or replaced if under warranty by htc no one in the market can help u even htc will replace it they wont b able to boot it up hence if under waranty ur board will b changed for free
else buy a new one simple buddy ....
Hello mates,
My i-mate Jasjar doesn't start any longer. Here's how I got here. I tried to flash my jasjar with Crossbow ROM using ROMUpgradeUt.exe but it didn't do anything. So I went into the Country_ID_Error folder on the computer and executed MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. My jasjar froze after this and everytime I restarted it just hung on the bootscreen that says i-mate.
So I tried using mamaich method using mtty and now I can't even get to the i-mate bootscreen. So nothing just happens when I try to power up the phone (I'm sure the battery isn't dead).
All I can do is just enter the bootloader mode. That is the only thing that I can do that I know.
Please suggest something. I'm lifeless without the i-mate.
Thanks and regards,
Aditya More.
i had this same issue, i task28?'d my device, whatever command that resets the flash structure, then booted into bootloader, and flashed this file:
http://rs507.rapidshare.com/files/184081773/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
that should fix you up real good, hopefully.
Well thanks a lot. But it doesn't help. It gives me a connection error when everything is fine. USB is connected, ActiveSync USB connection is disallowed.
I forgot to mention, that when I task 28'd my device, nothing showed on the device. It just showed USB at the top and v2.01 at the bottom for ever, which means the task 28 wasn't probably successful or I ain't sure what.
Yeah, I had to ask you how if the above given file will work if the phone is in bootloader mode.
To fill you on more details, my phone somehow strangely starts. I'll explain how.
When the phone is switched off, and when I press the reset button, nothing actually happens, no activities can be observed.
When the phone is switched off and I connect it to the computer via USB, it shows the charging light. Now when I press the reset button with the phone connected to the USB, the charging light goes off and the USB detection sound sounds on the computer and the computer shows "USB Device not recognized". This means the phone started.
But strangely in both the above cases, none of the two lights on the phone indicate anything and display of the phone shows absolutely nothing.
The only thing I can do with the phone now is enter bootloader.
Also, since I compromised so much, is it possible that I can still flash it with WM6? Because going back to WM5 will make me feel miserable.
Thanks.
@cheapusenet:
I tried flashing with that file. It flashed successfully, but the screen is all smudged. I soft reseted the phone too (using reset+two soft keys) but it keeps displaying that same smudged screen.
Good news is it did something.
Bad new is that it didn't make the mate work.
Please help. I'm dying without the phone.
Thanks and best regards,
Aditya More.
is it possible you can get a picture of what screen its showing? I THINK it happened on mine as well, did you let it sit for 10 or so minutes? if i recall the bootscreen was all corrupted but it started into WM5 just fine.
and regarding wm6, i'd attempt to get the device working before you try and get fancy. is the device cid unlocked? mine was and thats what was causing the issues.

if you didnt run that exact command, it's probably a good idea.
and you could try reflashing that stock imate rom?
This is all that happens.. I have waited for 5 minutes. I'll wait for 20 minutes now.
i waited for 30 minutes.. no go..
yap it did that EXACT same thing to mine.
reflash it, i think that fixed mine.
if that doesnt work, attempt flashing some custom roms.
is it CID unlocked?
i flashed it twice.. no go..
what's CID unlocked?
CID
Read the Wiki on my sig link
cid unlock allows flashing of roms that don't match your device branding.
i don't remember what brought me back from that, i may have flashed a custom rom with the imate cid settings in it? i don't remember.
i'll post a rom that i think may have helped in a few hours, I have slow upload speed. until then, just keep tinkering.
also, you should only be flashing nk.nbf. not the ms, or radio nbfs.
http://milfweed.info/UNI_AKU3_2_WWE_IVAN_beta_4_extrom_public.rar
try that rom.
hey man.. Flashed the rom with Ranju's ROM of WM6.1.. it worked.. But I can get the phone to be turned on. i mean device turns on but I can't make or receive calls or text. Let me check the thread of that rom. Thanks a ton for your support. Really appreciate it.
