for verizon there are the two versions of the Apache WM6 CE OS, the standard and one with the 1.02 bootloader, do i need one of these versions specifically for the ppc6700? What difference is there between the two packages? Im sure this is an extremely dumb question but i searched and couldnt find anything on it.
thanks,
BFfelon
when you power up in bootloader mode (hold down power button, notes button, then reset to enter the bootloader mode i believe) it will turn on, but the backlight is off, so you will need a flashlight or nice direct light to read it. At the bottom there is the version of your bootloader. I would assume that if you had version 1.02 you would download that version, but if you didnt (ie version 1.00, 1.04) you would do the standard. That's just a guess.

I'd like to use d2s command to backup my Qtek v1640 but I've not succeeded to enter the bootloader mode. The Key combination light+power+reset didn't work for me. For information, the cold boot keys are: menu buttons + reset (and not power + reset)
I'm wondering if someone in the comunauty could help.
Thanks in advance,
Zakaria.
Have you remapped your backlight button to something else?? (by using the reg hack...)
Or is it some other program that is handling the backlight button....(pqz?)
This sounds weird though! it should have worked!

No I haven't mapped the light button. I have my Qtek since one week with the factory settings. In fact I want to backup it before to start to "play" with it. My project is to intall the new radio rom posted in this forum.
Zakaria.
While updating the Radio ROM to 1.06.00 i've figured out that bootloader is a screen i should have seen before. Indeed, te key combination light+power+reset is working fine. As a result, you obtain a ** black ** screen, if you look closer to the screen, you can see the word "USB" at the top and "1.0" at the bottom. I think that 1.0 is the Bootloader version.
To establsh an USB link while the device is in this mode, i found it necessary to stop all the networks in my Universal and remove SIM and SD card.
Hope this helps,
Zak.
The problem appeared today morning, while listening music using tcmp. the sound stopped suddenly, and standard animated cursor appeared over tcmp screen. i closed tcmp, and the rest of the system seemed fine, i was able to mute the phone and entered my work place. After a while i noticed the screen is off and i can not turn it on using pwr button, although green led kept blinking so the phone was operating. after a soft reset it would not go over splash screen showing IPL, SPL (which are: IPL: 1.06, SPL 1.06, GSM: 01.12.10, OS 1.6.2.4).
I've tried multiple times and still the same, only difference is that sometimes I can see the cursor and sometimes not. I can get to rgb screen and "press send to restore" as well, but that's it. I can't remember whether previously pressing a key illuminated a screen and keys, but now it doesn't. I used to have problems with screen not going black on idle since few days, but that's it. What could have happened? And if the only solution is hard reset, please tell me, could I somehow backup my contacts now? I don't have activesync here so I have to wait till I finish my work to find out..
please help anyone...
rom version : 1.6.2.4 WWE,
date : 11/15/05
radio : 01.12.10
protocol : 4.0.13.23
extrom : 1.6.2.105
That's spooky. My MDA has the same versions of IPL, SPL, GSM and OS, and this morning started misbehaving.
What's this rgb screen you can get to with the "press send to restore" option?
How do I do a hard reset (I have a backup on SD) without being able to get to the Start>Settings>System>Clear storage control panel option?
Rgb screen is a bootloader which i enter by holding cam+voicedial+commmanager butons while softreseting wizard. the other screen i mentioned i enter holding cam and voice buttons, and then pres reset. that screen says 'pres send to restore factory defaults any other key to quit' and it does hard reset if you press green button here...
my problem seems to be over for now, i managed to turn the phone on while i plugged it into a wall charger (believe me, the battery was not a problem - i don't know for how long it's ok now, but at least i made contacts backup now so that i'm ok with a hard reste if i have to...
You both have old roms and could do with upgrading them to aku2 roms. (your device will be more stable) i.e. the first number of the rom will be 2. Please dont ask me to go through how to flash a rom because there are hundreds of posts on the same topic and read the wiki - shortcut top left of the screen. You need to identify whether your device is g3 or g4 but i suspect you both have g3 chips.
Now read & read esp the wizard upgrading forum and wiki and then when you feel confident - flash your device.
mu chipset is g3 based on my ipl/spl info... i wouldn't dare to ask anyone to explain the process of flashing, i'm not that crazy. only thing i'd dare, would be to advice me what rom should i use... or a way to determine this, since i know it can't be just any rom...

Looking at your rom numbers i gather you have a t-mobile vario - is it uk or usa rom or polish - i see you live in poland.
there latest uk rom is here ftp://[email protected]/Wi...Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe

Its prob best you sim unlock and cid unlock before you flash in case you change to a non-tmobile rom inc one of the cooked roms.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
and read dr puttingham's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and now i have given you more than enough hints
p.s. by the way remember to write down your gprs settings and mms settings to use with your new rom.
thats right, its tmobile vario, uk one. it is sim unlocked, i'm not sure about cid but it should not be a problem. thanks for the hints, it really seems more then enough;] i'll probably have to use theese, as soon i have a spare evening...
you don't have to explain me the importance of gprs settings - forcing my wiz to work in uk's o2, then in polish plusgsm, then loosing settings and doing it again finally got me into a habbit of backing every settings up ;]
and last but not least, guys, yesterday i did my first HR ;] ...
I updated my rom to the 3.14 for the gps. after that I was stuck in the bootloader screen, downgraded rom to the one from htc website (2.17).
now phone works fine except when I press the power button to turn the display off you should be able to just press it again to turn it back on.Instead my green status light stays lit for like 2 seconds and then starts blinking like normal but the screen never turns on. Must remove battery and phone reboots fine just cant touch the power button same thing keeps happening. Any help or ideas on this?
Have you tried a hard reset?
yes it has me press r to confirm then after it says to reset press spacebar to boot, and still same problem.
i've even tried installing the 2.17 rom update a few times but nothing seems to help, I even thought about calling sprint to see if they could help. I'm currently running the latest rom from htc so i dont think they could say its my fault and them not fix it

Having this exact problem with the 2.17 ROM. It's linked FROM Sprint's site so I'm sure it's an official release.
Let me know if you find out anything and I'll do the same.
I had the same problem. I tried to re-flash to an older hard-spl (I think it was olipro 1.10) and everything seemed to work again.
I'm having this same problem as well...
This is a symptom caused by running the level 1.x unlocker with the level 3.x ROM, or the level 2.x unlocker with the level 2.x ROM.
Flashing the proper bootloader (unlocker) should fix your problem. Level 1.x bootloader with level 2.x ROM and level 2.x bootloader with level 3.x ROM.
I brick my phone ,now ,white screen start, not enter sys,can be link by pc!!please give a newer uspl!!thanks....
Hey buddy, can you give a little bit more info. Were you trying to flash your phone? If so, did you the PDF directions?

Turn of your phone, press the two soft keys and press the power button, then let go of the power button while still holding the soft keys. Then you will get into the tri-color boot screen. Then try to flash your phone again.
He says that he had flashed the wrong SPL.
The SPL is for HTC S710(vox) only,but he flash it into his T-mobile shadow.
The SPL still at work, can be connected with MTTY
but can not reflash official rom with RUU.
hikei say right
As the situation heiki said, master guide
who can help me!!
please help me!!!who can make a rom for my shadow!!!
Don't listen to previous posts
The Previous posts on how to fix this porblem are not correct. If your shadow gets a white screen, or will not boot windows fully, you will have to either reset the OS to defaults, or reinstal OS completely.
The First option is to Reset the OS to default this can be done by following these steps:
1. turn off the phone
2. Press and hold the two soft keys that are right below the LCD screen. (These are the keys above the Home Key and the Back key)
3. While holding these keys, press and release the the power button, this should turn on your phone, if not try again. (do not keep holding power key, but continue to press the soft keys)
4. A screen will then appear asking you if you want to reset your phone, press the Send key (The Key with the Phone on it)
5. The OS will then begin to reset. If this does not work, follow next option.
The Second and only other option is to perform a rom flash. You will need the original tmobile shadow rom. I've tried with several hacked roms, and they never finish while doing this. Download original rom from here:
http://wiki.allshadow.com/index.php/Downgrading_to_WM6.0/_Neo_on_the_Shadow_2007
Now you are ready to fix you problem.
1. Turn off you phone
2. Press and hold the Camera Button on the side of the phone. (press no other button with it)
3. Now press and release the power button (phone should now turn on, if it does not, try again. Do not release the phone button)
4. After phone turns on, it will then show you a Colored bar screen, this is knows as the Boot Loader screen. It has a similar purpose as the Boot Loader and Boot Select screen that is seen on PC computers.
5. Place phone down in secure location, and connect to your computer. (drivers may install after connection, let them install before moving on)
6. Open the Shadow Rom update utility that you downloaded before and follow prompts.
7. Once update completes you are now ready to use your Shadow Again. If you want a different Rom, go ahead and download and follow instructions for installing that rom.
Things to avoid this in the future:
1. ensure you are updating rom with phone on a secure surface, ensure it will not fall and disconnect from Computer during update.
2. ensure battery is full
3. use roms tested and validated by other users. Read reviews of problems and known issues.
4. Use tested, validated, and/or signed apps. (ensure apps are meant for smartphones with QVGA and windows mobile standard. Generally this is not a problem, but better safe than sorry)
So that is a step by step guide on how to fix your problem. good luck
Will this also help me?
Zephnath,
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to my phone, but I upgraded to WM 6.1 a while ago. If I follow your steps to re-load the original rom will it also go back to WM 6.0? If not, do you know how I can change my phone back to WM 6.0?

Sorry to keep you waiting, but if you follow the steps above and you use the rom downloaded from this link http://www.sendspace.com/file/thvf9u you will have your phone set back to the original rom issued by t-mobile.
If you installed, or tried to install a rom not from tmobile, you will have to follow the second step I provided.
If you have not attempted, or do not have a rom that is not from t-mobile, then follow step one.
If you are not sure, follow step two, by first downloading the file I posted a link to above
Edit: Following these steps will put you back to Windows Mobile 6.0
So you're saying that the SPL from the OEM rom will overwrite the SPL from the Vox? I always thought that flashing a SPL from the wrong phone would brick it for sure with no takebacks.

What I am saying, is that following these steps will get you out of the whole with the white screen of doom, if you follow them. I've done this on not only one shadow but on two, several times. When going back to original rom, it works just like it did out of box. (Slow and clumsy) But at least you have your phone back, and with MyFaves again.
When you go back to the original rom, provided via the download link from previous post, the phone is as it was when you first got it. (Including the SPL, so if you want to flash a different rom on the phone you have to unlock it all over again.)
People have done this many of times. Often people have hardware problems and need to send the phone back for warranty fixes, but waite, they flashed their rom to 6.1. That voids their warrenty. So what do they do now? I know, they flash it back to 6.0 using the official update (the link I included) that t-mobile provided. They send their phone back to manufacture and get their replacement as if their old phone never saw a different rom.
I am repairing a HTC LEO HD2. It does NOT have a volume button, must have been ripped off or something I don't know. After searching around I found drvupdate-amd64.exe which is Windows Mobile Center and T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1.exe and they both show errors when trying to connect to the phone, WMC shows phone locked and I have attached a picture for the error for the MOBILE_HD2~.exe. I also included a few extra pictures to show you what I have. I also read something about reset buttons being different colors, the one I have is yellow. I also seen how to do the factory reset but it requires pressing the volume buttons which are not there, is there a way to make contact anyways?
Ive read about a way to install a rom via MICROSD card but I do not understand it fully.
There a orange looking picture and white pictures I have attached, can the current OS be identified by that?
Wiring diagram buttons
Since the os wont boot, you would need to have the phone in bootloader to flash, which is why the update utility can't find the phone, and guess what? You need the volume button to get into bootloader. Same with SD card flashing,,, you enter bootloader with the rom on SD and it flashes,,, still requires vol down tho, so your focus is on repairing/hacking the volume button.(only need vol-down, so ignore the vol up bits)
From pic 2 you have
Radio 2.10.50
(Ignore middle line)
Rom 2.13
Not that any of that matters right now.
