Can't enter Bootloader

I've been playing with my device an cannot get it to enter Bootloader by pressing the power button and soft resetting it.
Is there any other way to enter Bootloader?

Be sure to press and HOLD the power button. Then make a soft reset.

Thanks, but I have two devices and it works on the 'clean' one, but not on the one I've been playing with.

Same Problem, can anybody help ?
Same Problem, can anybody help ?

We would appreciate it when you guys with the non-willing bootloader devices state what type of device it is (e.g. XDA, MDA, Qtek...) and the ROM version and date. Maybe that can help us resolving the issue.

Unlock O2 Xda
Peter, I have an O2 XDA (Pocket PC 2002 edition). I have a serial cable on order. Do you have any extra tips to prevent the likelihood of negative effects during SID unlocking with this XDA-manipulator software?
Thank you all for this service
Ron

Ron,
Before using XDA Manipulator back any data from the device. Sometimes, the device does a cold boot after using it. Furthermore there are no negative effects to be expected. We have positive unlocking stories from Mexico to China...

Can't find Bootloader, anyone help me please

Please help me to solve this problem....?????????????? I NEED HELP......WHERE I CAN FIND BOOTLOADER ON MY XDA.

XDA O2 WBL 5.17 with dead GSM impossible to recover

My device: XDA O2, with wallaby boot loader 5.17
Tried to flash RSUv1.15(GPRS_421_ENG_O2) into it. Update froze at either 48% or 53%. Tried it 10 times over, while waiting infinitely but the device just auto-booted itself after each froze. Deleted the autorun files from the startup director on the XDA. After which it did not try the update at bootup anymore. Instead the device is now dead :
On boot it just gives a white screen and everything fails / nothing can be done. The device cannot be connected through USB, and nothing on either SD card of MM card will install.
I tried to flash wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 to fix the key problem with 5.17 bootloader but as GSM fails at the bootloader: it just ignores the disk. I tried the patch tool on a SD card and on two other MM cards it does not work on any of them: as the damn bootloader checks GSM first (and gives GSM ERROR)
Also since the device is trashed it does not apper to load its battery, I assume it must be quite dead soon. (is there any way to load a battery on a software-trashed XDA O2??)
I have another fully working XDA O2 at my disposal. That machine is running older version of CE, GSM and 5.15 Bootloader. I tried flashing the OS from that device to the SD card, succeeded in getting it there - but the broken device will not flash itself from the SD card since it has "wrong key", and the patch tool fails to work because the GSM fails before it even checks any cards in 5.17..
The GSM cannot be copied to the SD card from the working device, because copying the GSM requires connecting something called RS232 and running some program nobody has heard of..
Is there anything I can do? I even tried copying the 5.15 bootloader from the working device to SD, and flashing that to the 5.17 broken device: no success, since it fails the GSM at bootloader startup, and the card has "wrong key" anyways.
How can I recover from this?
When you do reply, please reply in full generously abundant and exquisite detail. I am unable to follow instructions such as "just do this and that" if you do give instructions please be very detailed: tell me where to load the files (paste the links) and preferably go step by step through the process.
I have noticed that some other people have this exact same problem. If you give good enough guidance maybe we can create a help file to address this same problem in the future as well.
Thank you in advance!

A further problem with the other XDA
A further problem emerged with the other XDA:
- now it only boots to bootloader, and refuses to power up properly
pressing the power button does nothing. Soft reseting does nothing. Hard reseting does nothing. The only thing that seems to work is pressing the powerbutton+softreseting at the same time == entering the bootloader mode. There the machine passes all tests and seems to be fully functional. however refuses to power up.
I tought maybe the SIM slot is improperly closed, tried closing it better, and manually pressing the switch inside - doesn't work either.
Also tired inserting, taking out, and reinserting the XDA to the cradle, with either the power button pressed at the same time or not (this seems to work sometimes when the XDA O2 in unresponsive) but that doesn't work either.
What to do? how can the device be powered up?

Still stuck with this same situation
Hi all,
I'm still stuck with this same situation. So far nobody has even tried offering any help to me. What can I do? Do you think I should just give up and toss the damn device to the nearest body of water I can see, or what?

look for "repair.zip" in the forum, for some people this helped.

Tried that. That doesn't work since that repair requires that the device works as far as the today screen - my device dies out well before that. As described above it dies right in the start: just frozes up and displays a white screen with a blue bar in top, and after that does nothing, runs nothing, reacts to nothing, etc..
Any other ideas?

Help me fix my wizard and I'll give you 10$

Okay I'm having problems with my wizard.
It freezes at the splash screen.
It won't hard reset "Format is Failed"
And flashing billions of roms does no good.
Here's a solution that's supposed to work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963
but your device has to be cid unlocked wich mine aint.
And I can't unlock it with lockwiz, because it won't start up.
I could use imei-check, but don't want to pay 40$
If you follow the instructions in the link above and send me the minisd so I can reset my wizard, and it works, then I will return your minisd with a 10$ check.
Leave me a message if your interested in helping.
But, because i don't want a billion people sending me blank minisd cards I'll only pay if it works. If it don't I will still return the minsd.
Please help a guy out.
Thanks.

I faced the same situation with my wizard..The only solution is to pay the 40$. If the device is not CID unlocked it can not boot using the sd card.
I unlocked my phone using imei-check and then my wizard worked like a charm.
It is simple: If you do not pay for the CID unlocker your WIZARD will rest in peace for ever..

Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107
Maybe your SD is to blame. Try it without the SD and you may get lucky. If it works I would format the SD card before rebooting the phone.

Okay so i just realized it has to be cid unlocked even to back it up from the minisd.
So does imei check work with phones in the U.S.?
Anybody know?

bootloader?
what version of the wizard do you have? (what does the ipl/spl stuff display?)
try holding the camera button down when starting up to enter the bootloader, then connect the usb cable and flash.
Good luck!
Matt

1.Download the original/official WWE ROM from your provider's website
(you may need to register the phone with the provider online to be able to download the ROM- usually the phone registration and official ROM download is free)
The WWE ROM allowes the device to be reflashed - even if the phone is CID locked.
2.Connect the phone to any XP machine using USB
3.Start the phone in bootloader mode (3 colord band with IPL/SPL in top left and USB in bottom left will be displayed)
To start in boot loader mode -->Press and hold the camera button, simultaneously press the soft reset button with stylus.
[Soft reset push button is located in the middle of camera button and infrared port (close to infrared port)]
4. Re-flash the phone by running the dowanloaded ROM from USB connected XP machine.
Hope this helps.

I earn 10 pound men
I have your answer BUY A NEW ONE!!!!!!
hahahahaha
Like ungry dogs huh?! 10 pounds .-.- 10 pounds

If you can get your phone into the bootloader(hold camera then soft-reset), you could try to flash it with:
ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
maybe that will work, if its flashed successfully you can cid unlock your phone, good luck.

T-Mobile MDA USA weird, "fixies" dont work, stuck in "press send to restore"

T-Mobile MDA USA weird, "fixies" dont work, stuck in "press send to restore"
Hi, sorry for my poor English is not my first language
I have a T-Mobile MDA USA and happened a weird thing, my phone works properly, was CID unloked and sim unloked with TNT_5.0_Wizard_TouchFLO ROM but 3 days ago I put the USB (PC)to charge the battery, lately when I back to pickup my phone I see in the screen of the phone open and close or put an quit windows explorer(mobil) repetitively, i try to close manually tapping in the "X" but explorer continues opening, then I see in the bar where you put the web address the number "3" and "8" was typing continuously, like when you hold pressing the buttons, but nothing was pressing or making pressure to do that, since I cant close the explorer with the "X" I turn off the phone, when I turn on instead to load normally, appears the Align Screen and for some reason will not recognize the Screen Tapping to align the screen, so, I turn off/on again, but in this time shows a black screen with "Press Send to Restore Factory Defaults, Other Key to Quit" in withe letters, it is stuck in there since, before to put this tread I have read this forum and still I am lost, because i do a Soft Reset or Hard Reset #1,#2,#3, I enter into a bootloader mode to re-flash the ROM with CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE ... IPL/SPL 1.01 and when finish to flash, its suppose the phone restart and windows loading but instead that I get again the same black screen with "Press Send to Restore Factory Defaults, Other Key to Quit" in withe letters, ok, maybe with other recently ROM, then I enter into a bootloader mode to re-flash the ROM... AGAIN... but now with ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship... IPL/SPL 2.26 ... and AGAIN I get the same black screen with "Press Send to Restore"... I try to press send key always, but nothing happens, is still stuck there always, I could not get past that, I would really appreciate any help. Thank you so much.

I hate to ask this, at the risk of sounding too obvious, but are you sure that it was CID unlocked properly? I have a Cingular 8125 with IPL/SPL 2.25 and I know it was a hell of an effort to get it CID unlocked, five or six tries before it worked properly and I was able to flash successfully.

yes was CID unlocked properly, I do it with lokiwiz02b like 3 moths ago and I use Wizard Service Tool to see was really unlocked, I could flash any ROM since was unlocked I could use crosbow,faria, Molski even TNT.20273_Professional ROM's but I prefer use TNT_5.0_Wizard_TouchFLO because I feel my phone works more stable and speedy... searching in treads I see Im not the only one with the same problem (stuck in a black screen with the legend " Press Send to restore factory default, other keys to quit" in white letters) but in that treads no one get answer how fix this problem or how get out of the black screen.
like I say before I could put my phone in bootloader mode and re.flash the ROM wherever I want to try running ROMUpdateUtility and always I reach 100% then, when its suppose the phone restart and you will see the windows logo or T-mobile, don't happen that, instead I see the famous black screen with white legend, so the legend says me "press send"... I press send, or any key and nothing happens... I read in other treads when you press send the phone formating but this is not the case, just don't do nothing,.... realy I need some help here
thanks

Hey!
I have the same problem as described above. I've been using CR96 Touch HD WM 6.1 with soft SPL unlock for couple of months with no problems until tonight when I noticed that my phone is hanged. I did a soft reset, but the phone gets stucked at "press send to restore factory default, other keys to quit" screen. At that none of the buttons work, soft resetting just puts it back to this screen, the same goes for taking the battery out. There have been no software or registry changes within weeks - just using basic phone functions. Is there any way how to fix this or what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance
