Hi, after reading that the PM10A could take windows mobile 2006 i tried it, installed it and broke my PM10A. Now all the thing does is Vibrate, it wont charge or turn the screen on, all it does is vibrate for a short period of time and if i plug it in it will vibrate continously. Also it cannot be seen by the computer or active sync, everybody i have talked to about this says that it is a complete mystery, what i was hoping was to see if any body knows what is wrong and could help me??
I only bought this around 3-4 days ago and therefore quite upset, i know its my own fault due to WM2006 but is it fixable?
Please help me.
The Magician can't take WM6. wherever you read it, it was not true... It can't take WM5 either
I'm sorry to be harsh, but this is something that has been asked a lot of times, and the answer is still no. Closest you'll get as far as i know is the WM6 lookalike rom that someone here posted...
you bricked your phone, methinks... Buy a new one off ebay or something.

You can enter the bootloader by holding down the camera + power button, and resetting the device.
the reset button is on the bottom right, a small hole. a wallaby reset pin fits nicely in the hole. the magician unfortunately does not have one.(but you can use the magician pencil) "
Works again! Thanks!

My Magicain, seems to be permanently stuck in the bootloader mode. I've tried using the original flash RUU (even the NO_ID version) without success. It either doesn't detect my device, or says that it isn't the correct version for my phone (although I downloaded it from the official site).
Any suggestions?

Hi, i dont know if yours is an I-Mate but try to go to the i-mate website and download it from there it worked for me and i was just thinking you should maybe give it a try, let me know what happens.
Yes, I had already used it. This was what bricked my I-mate Jam, in the first place. I tried using the NO_ID tool, to try to connect with my device, but it keeps saying that my unit is not designed for this tool.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, i used the one named : JAM_UK_Aus_11200_171_11 CDL
hope this helps,
i have now purchased a t-mobile mda 2 but i am having problems with this sim card as it will not recognise any sims i put into it, i have had a bad time with these HTC's that maybe i will not buy any more, this new one i have is my 3rd i think
I got the unit re-flashed with the 'big ROM' versiosion.
The unit now works, but I want to get my other Charmer working now. It shows the bootscreen, then the device turns itself off. I have to remove/re-insert the battery, then do a hard reset to ge it back on.

hi, again sorry for very very late reply, i now fix these PDA's, have you managed to fix your charmer?
No. I haven't fixed the Charmer as yet. I gave up on that project, as it seemed to be more a hardware problem than the actual firmware.
I'll PM you more on this shortly.

What method of hard resetting did you try?
If hard reset does not work get to the bootloader screen (multicolored) by holding down camera button and preset reset button.
You can then reflash your rom - does not have to be activesynced to do this - as long as you have a small 'usb' on bottom left of bootloader screen when connected to pc it should work.
I guess this is the rom thats already on your device ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/o2/Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe
whats the boot loader screen, all the phone loads upto is the bit before windows mobile shows when you first turn it on

Turn phone off - then press camera button and hold - press power on button whilst still holding camera button. Bootloader screen should come up (multicolored)

The rom install usually takes 10 mins or so - dont worry it usually stalls a while around the 70-80% mark a while - just wait and be patient until its 100%. It will return to factory condition so all your data will be lost i am afraid. If you have synced with outlook before your pim info can be restored from there.
i was only jsut settin it back up anyway and it didnt work just now the update but it dont the error revoery adn its working again done 75 so far
Just tried to upgrade my XDA mini to this new ROM (v2.21.4.101). Everything seemed to be going swimmingly - I installed the ROM and the thing booted up ok. I then did a soft reset before all the o2 stuff installed. I then went to do a restore (having previously backed up using spb backup) and it almost completed but then the mini s rebooted itself again.
Ever since, it will only get as far as a page which has most of the bar at the top of the screen (the signal strength icon, battery strength and GPRS indicator are all there), but not the start button. Underneath that is just a blue screen with the Windows Mobile logo. The backlight will come on if I press any of the buttons but otherwise it is not responding.
I've tried holding down the camera button and pressing the on/off button and also camera button and the reset button, but neither of them seem to do anything.
I've tried reinstalling the rom from the PC but it says it can't find my device.
Rather bizarrely, if I call myself from another phone, the device rings and says incoming call, so the thing obviously isn't totally dead.
What can I do to sort this out?
Cheers!
Just bought Atom and upgrade it with the newest rom via official web.
Many time the Atom cannot switched ON, only the green led keeps blinking. If somebody's calling, Atom just not ringing. I tried to soft reset but cannot, nothing happened and I need to remove the battery. After that the O2 screen will freeze and I need to remove the battery for 2nd time. Is it normal? Pls help how to fix these problems. thx

You may want to reflash your device with the latest software found at the seeo2 site (or on the ftp here). Your device may be corrupted :wink:

new atom had 0426 software installed
just rolled back to previous 0123 .. will keep you guys notified with the results
0123 is too primitive. After your test, re-install the latest ROM which has all the fixes 8)

agree!
0123 gave the correct sof-reset behavior but performance was very poor
0426 was rolled out again .. the bug became permanent - soft reset fully hangs device
moreover the speaker now hissing.. what the --K
Did you re-download the update, or just re-used the old one on your pc?
On hissing, I noticed that when I use a charger from another device to charge Atom :shock: So I use Atom charger for all my pocket pc's and no problem now. Maybe the more endowed techies can rubbish this :twisted:

Ok, Ive got a new problem with my XDA Exec.
Opened it up and tryied to turn on the backlight and nothing. tried a soft reset, nothingtried a hard reset now it just sticks on the splash screen, the red writing comes up on the right and side and just hangs there forever!
Please help
You're stuck. apparently the only remedy is turning it in to repair. For most of us it is under warranty.
Just off the phone to 02. Theres sending me a new one via courier on monday. it's less than a day old.
Is this a comon fault with the Exec?
erm ... I managed to experience this problem.
I was trying to uninstall SPB GPRS thingy that comes with the O2 package, and it just wouldn't go. I ended up deleting the program files and getting an error when it started up, so I deleted the GPRSNotify file under Startup. It never worked again ...
I got the splash screen, tried soft and hard resetting and various permutations (including standing on one leg and while holding breath) ... nothing. Did try to install fresh ROM, but startup wouldn't get far enough to let PC load ROM over USB.
Ended up contacting O2 who sent me a nice shiny new one, as it was only three weeks old. This time I haven't installed GPRS monitor thingy, and I don't intend to fiddle with it again ... or at least until I've forgotten my lesson ...
Sorry i ment to give you guys an update on this. I did manage to get it working again, although i still accepted the new one the sent to me.
What i did was installed a new rom off the 02 website. at 1st the computer couldnt see the phone so wot i did was enter what i think was the programming side of the phone. i found the instructions on how to this on the net. i think i pressed the 2 soft keys and the light switch while pressing the reset switch with the stylus (i think that was the buttons but unsure as i cant find the page again) when the screen light up again there was some faint writing on the screen with the word serial or usb. Double clicked on the rom file and 30mins later my phone was revived.
Funny it was the gprs monitor that i too installed before the phone screwed up? ive since installed it again on the new phone and have had no problems with it since.

Hi, i just done a master reset on my cingular 8125, and now i can't do anything to the phone. everytime i put the battery in it can only go to the first screen. which is the screen with IPL, SPl, GSM, and OS.
Does anyone have a solution? I have this phone for over 6 months, I done an unlock to use with T-mobile, but i didn't do the unlock to update.
same thing is happening to me.
download the t-mobile 2.26.10.2 rom from their site and force bootloader mode [turn off, hold power and camera, and connect to USB and run the updater.
when i do this, it doesnt write the ROM image...
i have flashed like... 7 times in the past hour...
Don't know if this will help you, but the same thing happened on my 8125 after pasting a "power off" program to my windows/start up folder. Hold the Comm and Voice record buttons (on top sides of device), and at the same time use your stylus to soft reset (small hole below Ir port), a message should come up telling you to send to set back to factory settings. Push the green phone button to send. This is like a hard rest without entering the hard rest code 1234. This should get the device operating normal again. You will have to re-install apps that you had in the main memory,since your device will be new again. Give this a try. May I ask why you had to do a hard reset?

That means there is a hardware issue with the phone.
took it to cingular they said software
Meaning -- not covered under their warranty exchange?? Just curious as to whether you got a replacement phone. . .

You may need to do this a few times. It should work as it's the ONLY way.

If they say its software, then tell them to flash the Cingular ROM on it. If it works, thank them and you have a working phone. If it doesn't they should replace it. DO a search for this error here (and with Google) but I seem to recall others getting this found their phone had a memory (hardware) problem where the flash just won't take.
You might have better luck talking to a Cingular Tech online. I've called a copule of times with issues with my phone and they are always like "We'll authorize a replacement and send it out tomorrow". I've stopped them each time as I know the isue I'm calling about isn't hardware (one time it was for the 160x120 MMS pics). Over the phone they can only debug so far so they are quicker to do a replacement.
Not sure thats what you want to do, but its an option...
You might also try flashing the Wizard Love or Button Roms on it. Those will sometimes flash when others won't (if you do the Button ROM you will have to CID unlock again though) (we are talking a G3 here, right?)
Links for those are in this thread (as well as instrucitons):

I have Imate K-jam G4
and while i was trying to flash it with the new WM6 i make mistake by the steps so I get Error and then my phone won't work anymore no lights and no power no charge .
I try to get the phone to the flash mode by hold the camera button and press the soft rest, it didnt work and the phone still off
i try to hard reset the phone by holding the communication button and the voice command button and click the reset button while iam holding and it didnt work.
i remove the battery for a while and get it back in and even this didnt make it alive,
this phone is special for me and i wont lose it, so i hope anybody could help me and i would be completely thank full for every advice
Its a G4,did you get it HardSPL or you were upgrading through SoftSPL,which rom were you trying to flash ?
Sounds all to familiar! Time for a new motherboard probably.
trying to be more optimistic than rmcknight....before searching for a new motherboard check your battery if it's completly dried out....try to charge it thrrough another phone if that doesn't work either check the "Dead wizard? NEVER! Let's revive!" thread here in the forum if you are a skilled technician...if not...it's time to search for a new motherboard....
