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....

Can't figure it out but I have put a new Radio and a new ROM on the Himalaya or XDA II and still the power buton at the top resets the phone instead of turning it off!!!
The soft reset doesn't do anything!! the power button doesn't even reset properly cause it does a soft reset but also i lose my date and time etc but no information!!?!?
The only thing I have tried it puting a new Bootloader on cause no matter how many places I go to look at how I do it noone explains it well enough for me to risk it!!
Help please someone.... Is it a hardwear issue?!!?
Hi guys, been reading the forums for some time now but my first post since i think i've briked my device lol, today i decided to give the omapclock a go, and found a clock speed of 240mhz (read other threads saying it was fine, and i also made sure it was functioning right.. then decided to register the speed using the updated version....
then when i reset my wizard it just hangs on the wm5 screen, the radio rom seems to load as i can hear it via the speakers on my pc... question is, is it recoverable?? its not been modded i.e its got the factory rom on it and radio, and i can get into bootloader mode okay with USB support... can i interface with it somehow, might be a good hance to try wm6, however i think its briked and not holind much hope..
can someone please advise?
s/unbrickable/debrickable/
have you tried hard reset?
yes tried holding down the power button, pulling out the battery etc
doesn't sound like hard reset to me, try holding the comm&voice_dialing buttons while "poking" the reset hole
says booting in safe mode but still hangs
by comms and dialling button do you mean the green answer phone?
thank you so much the hard reset worked, was quite awkward figuring out how to hard reset lol
no problem, now you can go back to breaking stuff
yup going to try an upgrade to wm6 now, wish me luck!
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.
Welcome to the forums though

The Bootloader
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.

I am not able to access the bootloader by pressing the three buttons. Device freezes on a black screen. What is the solution?
So I have this hd2 that I have to send by Monday to my brother. I bought this phone for 160 and I was told the end / power key does not work. There was also a pass lock on the phone. Now I could somewhat survive without the end button but I needed to hard reset or erase all memory from the phone to get rid of the password... but I can't do that because the stuck power button won't let me do that. I managed to get past the password via hspl, but I know also realized the the volume up button doesn't work either. Now when I said the end button doesn't work I meant that it wouldn't wake up when I press it, nor will it shut off... and when I put in the battery it turns on by itself, I don't even need to press anything. So I am guessing the problem is the flex cable is always pushed in... I cannot ship it to HTC because I flashed it and the warranty is gone, and every repair shop doesn't know what I am talking about.... please help me and tell me what to do this is very urgent.
I appreciate all the help,
Danny
i think the flex ribbon is damaged!
there are easy to source, try ebay
volume button, im not sure
Thank you for the help, but its to vague... I also heard its very tough to open the hd2
you can easily flash your stock spl via hspl2..just run it and select your stock spl.
stock rom and radio can also be flashed (you have to perform this before, because you cant flash via sd card).
take it to htc...wheres the problem?

Hi im from Germany,
i tried to flash my Acer S200 but it stopped by 50% and i have pluged the cable out. I cant turn it on, it gives no signal, i cant bring it to the download mode. Nothing is working no hardreset with buttons.Nothing is working and when i plug it to usb the LED isnt blinking
Sorry for my bad english ..
my phone is new, it has garanty, should i contact the acer support or can anyone help me ?
Hold volume up/vol down button + reset until you see "clean boot"
i tried it the phone gives no signal .. no clean boot is coming .. the rom flashing was at 50% i think it is breaked
but thank you
did you try removing then replacing the battery. then try bootloader mode again?
yes i tried but nothing is working i cant enter the bootloader nothing is working it is just off no vibration nothin is working
sorry, but I have to ask, are pressing then holding vol down +power +camera buttons
at the same time until blinking red light starts?
you have to get into bootloader mode then flash a custom rom
brainmaster has a few including a "clean" rom.
I had this happen awhile ago and tried so many things for 2 days that now I don't
remember what actually worked! But I don't think that your S200 is bricked.
Also, make sure that you keep the power cable pluuged in (not usb)
you need a good charge even if you don't see the green light.
just keep trying and if I can remember I let you know.
or someone here will help you to find a solution!
thank you for your help but there is no light blinking. Also when i plug it to charge no light is going on. it doesnt charge the battery. i hope you can remember
i already know how to flash a rom but the phone doesnt give any sign
sorry I can't remember but you should ask brainmaster and maybe he can really help.
And he speaks german= )
thank you i will send him my problem
Any solution
Hi. I kind of found myself in the same situation. My acer s200 is unresponsive, no blinking lights no matter key/reset combinations. Had been in the middle of flashing on a new ROM when it got accidentally disconnected.
Any possible solution? Already checked the battery out in a different phone and it's fine and charged.
Hey,
i don't want to looks like a vultur, but if some of you can't find a solution to resolve the problem you have, I'm interested by the device because I need some piece. Of course I hope you can resolve your problem but if there are no led blinking, the last possibility is to send it to acer, and if you don't want to wait/pay/or whatever to with the acer support, I'm interested by your device.

Vulture indeed!! I'm need of help man.
you still need help?????
Hey GarcoG. Yes, still in need of help. My S200 is currently a desktop paperweight at home. It's a beautiful paperweight but it was made for so much more. Would really like to get it up and running again.
A new thing I noticed. I'm able to charge my phone's battery to full on my friend's s200. Of course when I put it back into my phone, it's still completely unresposive. However, I noticed that whenever I put it back into my friend's phone, the charge on it has reduced. I'm pretty sure it's not a battery issue I have since my phone is still unresponsive with my friend's battery in it and the same happens with that battery as well.
Would really appreciate any ideas on fixing this.
Hi, count me in. I just jumped on your wagon.. will try to disassemble this beauty soon before I officially demote it to a shiny paperweight.. well it's not that shiny, i put on a matte screen protector on it
Really funny about that matte screen protector. Cannot wait for the results. In my case, phone got accidentally connected just as it had reached the stage of flashing on the new ROM. Was thinking it was probably unresponsive because the ROM instructions that enable it respond to key combinations are absent hence cant get it into Bootloader mode.
@ incognito_tkd: Any luck with the disassembly? Would like to know your findings.
I have same problem... same situation
But... when I connect my USB charger, it shows red LED on... as if the charging is ON. But no reaction
Any one help please
there is no possibility to repair the phone... you have to send it to acer !!
i got my phone 1month after i´ve send it
