Mda - death after Update! HELP!!

I got trouble - I tell you....
Yesterday, I wanted to update my T-mobile MDA from winmobile 2002 to 2003. I was using "Lumpistefans" -Romkitchen (xda.weblink.net). I choose the rom to be coocked as an "installer exe".
When I performed the update, everything worked fine - for about 30 secs....then brakedown
This message accoured "Can not open COM/USB port...."
from this time on, my mda seems to be toasted!! I can't switch it on , softreset won't work - and after an hardreset the display only shows some black stripes and two blank squares at the top half.
I don't need to mention, that Activesync isn't recognising the mda anymore - saying "uknown usb device - can't connect"
I don't think the Bootloader is working still either - by pressing the on/off button, the bootloader should be activated ..or??!? I never tried that before.
I read the thread "rom flashing is dangerous" but didn't get any helpfull info on my case.
I need Help...getting quiet despered!!
THANKS for alls Help , Hints and comments!!!!!
ciao

here is how you enter the bootloader
http://xda-developers.com/bootloader/

ok thanks - the bootloader is still working ... can i now just flash it with a rom using my sd card?

yes just plug in the sdcard of min 64MB into your sdcard writer/reader and use xdatools to flash the nbf or nb1 file to the card
and put in the sdcard and go back into the bootloader

did try upload another rom from bootloader ?

did try upload another rom from bootloader ?
but first try a hard-reset

i don't know how to load a rom from bootloader (i allready have made soft and hard reset

no one could help me ?

1. dowenload this latest Qtek official rom from here: ftp://xda:[email protected]_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
2. enter your S200 into bootloader mode by pressing power +camera + reset, let go of the reset, but keep holding power + camera until the three colur screen will show up (that is bootloader mode).
3. connect the S200 to your pc (make sure your battery is fully charged)
4. run the Qtek official rom.
5. good luck!

i've tried those kind of upgrade several time, but without possibility of establishing an active sync connexion, it's impossible to launch the rom install...
does samebody knew if it's possible to make a rom dump with an emulator and copy it on a sd card for autoinstall backup in bootloader mode ?

while in bootloader you don't need to establish any activesync connection. just plug the usb cable, then if appears "usb" on phone you are good to go.
install the original DOPOD rom from the ftp.

this rom don't work, it give me the message
error 294 invalid vendor id

it's now working ! great !
i've juste install again the step one of jester's aku3.3 (so, i'm on a 2.20 os, i think i'll keep it for a while )
thank you verry much

Artemis USPL v.01 upgrade error with 270 code, Please HEPL

Hi Profs,
there are some problems with a Artemis Update SPL (USPL) v.01. I've found this problem is several topic but there was no solution for it.

The problem:
use USPL to get rid of the CID....count goes up to 100% screen shows black with green text, then pops to white. I need to do a soft reset to get it running again.
Then i use ROM Update Utility to update my p3300....and it still keeps hanging on 3%....damn. i get mad...!! Have read almost all here online...no virusscanner, no firewall....I use win XP.
i even tried without memory card and phone card....and nothing seems to work.......
ipl 1.14.0001
spl 1.14.0000
gsm 02.07.90
os 1.14.0.0
Who has any clue...?
With other words:
I've just got back my P3300 from repair, they changed the main board. With the previous main board I was able to upgrade the device and I was using the B&B versions.
But with this new board I'm not able to upgade the SPL. When I try to upgade the device after and start the start_uspl .exe the 10...20... ....100 my device become an interresting "blue screen" status and only the reset help to get out from this status. If I start the RomUpdateUtility.exe after the upgrade I got the error message #270
IPL: 3.13.0001
SPL: 3.13.000
GSM: 02.94.90
ROM version: 3.13.405.1.WWE
ROM date: 8/28/07
ExtROM version: 3.12.405.102
This is not the solution for the problem. I've tried it:
Plug in USB cable. Hold voice recorder button and press reset button. Bootloader will appear (Three color stripes). Then you may flash up ROM. (This works only for RUU installation types, not for PDAmobiz modified installator) Original english HTC P3300 ROM you may download form here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...temis_Upgrades ....
Please help us to solve this problem....

Probably the same problem
This should be the same:
Hello POF,
I was directed to this link by Rudegar because I want to change the french ROM to English ROM.
The relevant data of my PDA is:
The version of the ROM: 1.14.406.1 FRE
Date of ROM: 9/27/06
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ROM extension version: 1.14.406.101
I tried exactly the way you described in the USPL_manual and everything went well till I got to a stage where I was asked to click the update button which I did. After then there was a window which showed "updating from current version to version 9.99". I was confused at this point but clicked "continue" and after this stage I got an error message and there was no longer a connection bw my PDA and my computer.
Thanks,
Jonat

Problem "lost connection PDA-PC"
Hi,
first I would like to thank you for goooood job to many people here !
Back to my problem. I have HTC Artemis (T-Mobile MDA Compact III), OS WM6 T-Mobile Czech version.
I ran start_uspl.exe on my computer. The part in DOS based screen seems to finish everytime OK, but finally the connection with PC is lost. Therefore when the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility starts cheking version the error "lost connection with PC" appears . PDA stay in "black screen" mode and only hard reset start it again as usual.
Does anybody have the same problem? Any idea, how to solve it ?
Thanks

When the screen goes white, don't restart. Just start flashing to the new ROM. Worked for me

Unfortunately it not a white screen, it a black one, connenction lost with the PC, and only the reset PDA helps to restart the unit again....

Same situation as above. Depending on the Artemis, the screen might go white or black. Just don't freak out and keep on flashing the USPL. It WILL work and then reboot. Then you can flash the actual ROM you want.

Hello from an absolut newbie trying his first upgrade,
And I have just experienced the same problem than lenocs.
I have run start_uspl.exe, but when the screen is suposed to become white or dark, it becomes dark and the artemis is in fact totally off and connection is lost.
Anyway I supossed that it was because the scrren got black and I tried to run the update utility, but I´ve got an error (the terminal is disconnected or similar) and nothing happens.
I have had to soft reset the terminal and fortunatelly it seems that I still have my previous ROM and it seems that it works. But, do you know if there could be some "side effect" because the first step of start_uspl script?
Anyway I would like to move to WM6, so, any suggestion would be really appreciated.
Thank's a lot

When you restart, what is the USPL number?

Ooopppssss!
I didn't pay attention.
As I've said, I'm a newbie, so I was just woried because I thought I had "bricked" my new atemis.
How can I know now the USPL number?
Anyway I tried the star_uspl again (I'm a crazy newbie) and it failed. The artemis went off almost inmediately.
Thank you very much for your help

solved ... at least for me
I think the problem is in SPL version 3.13 (or maybe anyone newer than 1.11).
Try different Artemis USPL - for me worked version from this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_DumpedRoms
It's very confusional, because file sizes and also dates are the same as in unfunctional version, but this one worked.
Hope it'll help you as it helped to me.

Maybe this can help you
I bought a 8gb card the week before, so I needed to update the rom in order to have my new SDHC working. But whn I was trying to update the rom, through UPSL 1.1, I had an error. This was the first time I had an error because I have modified the room many times before. My error was about a CMD.EXE issue, something like Error code line 26 "can´t spawn cmd.exe" so I was not able to change my rom. What I did was to copy CMD.EXE from Windows/System32 and put in the same folder where I had the start_uspl file, and finally works!
Do not ask me why, but this was the only way I could make works the update process.
Just try.

do u have ur card in the phone while updating
you are suppose to remove the card

Problem solved (for me)
Hi,
i had the same problem error 270, 3% and lost connection with Activesync.
IPL: 3.13.0001
SPL: 3.13.000
GSM: 02.94.90
ROM version: 3.13.405.1.WWE
ROM date: 8/28/07
any way to upgrade was wrong ->> error 270
My good way was:
1. Downgrade to WM5 - original shipped ROM 1.12.405.1(link found on Wiki pages)
2. Under WM5 run USPL to unlock CID (now without any errors)
3. Final STEP - Upgrade to new ROM Artemis Touch 3.01 (without any errors by upgrade)
))
Now my Artemis seems to be OK.

I ran USPL with storage card inside the device...
no problem

switch SD card back to 2GB or smaller before USPL
Hi,
for me USPL did not work with my SDHC 8GB card but then I switched back to my previous 2GB SD card and then it works.
Perhaps the SDHC driver blocks USPL in some way.
Cheers,
Markus

i have been trying for 3 months
once i have upgraded my artemis to wm 6.0 everything seemed to be OK for two days... then the screen started to go black when i restart... şi downgraded to 5.0 but nothing changed... when i remove battery for a while, my arte works... when i try to do anything with it, the screen slowly goes black as if it is broken... please DO HELP ME! i am going to go mad... i have a new iphone, ihave i kaiser as well... but i miss my artemis very much...

Hello:
I have the same problem and realized hundereds have too. I have been checking in all forums and no asolution to it
The issue that happens to me is that I used USPL for upgrading to WM6 and worked, but now for the Touchflo it does not. Tried with all USB ports, tried with different computers and no good news.
The USPL msdos screen indicates that there is no connection at all in all percentage levels, then it bocomes dark and the 260 error whne installing the rom.
please help us soon !!!
we are in trouble!!

Same Problem : Screen shut down
Anybody can help us on this point ?
The only way to solve it is to remove the batterie during 30 min., then put it back and pray...
Then, for no reason, the screen shut down, a few minutes or days after
I've upgrade from WM5 to WM6 with the original Rom of HTC, it seems a little more stable but it shut down every 2 days when i'm lucky

thnx Neo..HTTP 404 NOT FOUND

That`s not from me, that`s the tread:
Problem solved ! Please, stick this post up - I saw A LOT of people in this forum to ask how to resolve situation with "STUCK ON START-UP SCREEN" ... no one full answer. So ... solution :
1 step. Download one working for YOUR G3 or G4 version ROM. You can easly recognize the difference
G4 ROM on startup screen looks like
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.13.0001
Look at last digit - if it's like 0001 - its G4 ROM. If it ends like 2.00.000, or just 2.00 - then its G3 hardware version.
So G4 (2.XX.0001) users can use any G4 ROM like this one ( tested by me ) -> ftp://xda:[email protected]_ship.zip
G3 (2.XX) users can use this ROM -> ftp://xda:[email protected]_v2307.exe This ROM is not tested by me, but I have read a lot of good responses about it.
2 step. First prepare the phone - full charge battery. After that, hold CAM + COMM buttons ( on the left side of the phone ) and reset it. You will be bringed to so sadly famous "three colors screen". Now connect your phone through USB and start Updating program that you have downloaded before. Sit back for about 15 minutes ( dont get nervous when it stucks on 80% ... it had to pass it after time). If everything goes smooth - after reset you must to have working phone again.
2A step. If you get error message ( like I did first time )
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
You have to make few steps, a little more complicated then pressing NEXT buton couple of times.
First, download this cracked version of ROM Update Utility program. Can be found here -> ftp://[email protected]/Pro...NoVendorID.zip , then
1. Download and install WinRAR ( http://www.rarlabs.com/ )
2. Click with right button on program that updates ROM ( like RUU_Prophet_G3_2151327_AKU23_023021_P12MB_PDAMobiz _v2307.exe ) and choose Extract to...
3. Replace in directory you just extract archive file ROMUpdateUtility.exe with the same file from the archive you have downloaded early (ftp://[email protected]/Pro...NoVendorID.zip )
4. Now, run ROMUpdateUtility and this time there will be no WRONG VENDER ID error.
Good Luck

NEO thanks for your time..
my jamin is G4 ..when i open the ftp link you gave ..>Prophet>shipped complete updates....i cant find _ship updates... only radios,ext roms
so what should i use in this case...
thnxs again

You must flashed an orig. WM5 rom. Please search. I can`t do this things for you. So many treads are here, about your problem.

ARTEMIS , stuck only on windows mobile logo!

If anyone find a time to help me , about HTC artemis is only stuck on windows mobile screen/logo
..also phone was entering on bootloader mode , three color screen ?
3.15.0000 version T-mobile , but cant fllashing , cant uspl nothing only going to 3% and stopping there.
Any help on this please?
best.r

Hellooooo...
Masters , how to solve this problem , pleasee???????

Radio ROM curropted,
First of all
Try restoring factory settings.
1) PUSH AND HOLD the (-) and (-) buttons over the (ok) and (windows) buttons, then press and hold RESET button.
2) Release reset button. but keep (-) and (-) held.
3) A message will appear and tells you to press SEND to restore factory defaults, SEND = GREEN TEL BUTTON.
4) Press it and wait, see what will happen after, maybe once it's finished you will need a soft reset, I don't remember...
Second Try possibility -if the above will not work-
Try with flashing a new full official ROM
it might be a problem as probably you do not have USPL unlocked!
so your SPL should still be looked to 3,13 or similar.
it would give you a DEVICE ERROR if you update it, and stop at 3%.
if SPL is 1.11 so that's fine, SPL is unlocked.
just enter bootloader and flash any complete (OS + RADIO) Rom, even non factory rom.
if SPL is locked you can save your tel just trying to update and original factory rom.
example: T-Mobile UK, T-Mobile Germany, T-Mobile ....
Note that even if they are all T-Mobile they are different! (Germany is different than UK, and so...)
Desperate last choise
If all the above did not solve,
probably your Radio ROM is curropted and in a bad sector,
use MTTY tool and comands to do a low level format, and remove any residual rom tack.
Do not clean bootloader, you will need it for the new re-flash
Then enter bootloader and flash an official factory rom.
It took me 6,30 hours to save my last Artemis, wish you a quicker solution, so good luck!

mouse.co.nr , thanks for reply mate.
First i have try since from yesterday to give on the phone any fllash , i have try so much diference way to get solution but nothing happen.
The phone cant do a hard reset by presing buttons , the phone was only get on bootloader mode , and was show IPL 3.15.0001 , and SPL 3.15.0000 , and i know that the phone was not cid unlock maybe , but i cant give any upsl and fllashing with fllash that phone.
Second i we try with ART_TMOUK_11311001_024990_WWE_Ship_R3 t=mobile UK , nothing happen , also only radio ARTEIMG_TMO_UK_4.1.13.251_02.92.90_RadioOnly , again nothing.
Radio only , and fllash was going to 3% and stopping.
Artemis_USPL , starting and was going to 100% , but cant finalize i think , bcs ERROR [270]:UPDATE ERROR The image file is corrupted.Please check your update Utility.
..and also i have try to fllash from sd card http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing , i have create one folder with name : root , and i'we put the image ARTEIMG.nbh....but can not starting from sd card also.
i'we download from here all this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Upgrades , and also from official t-mobile.

SPL still Locked!
two solutions:
1) USPL (proper one) lately I foundout the official one on the official form was giving me some update errors, I think the file is curropted, and if startuspl.exe does not run till 100%, reboot and start the RUU by itself, it wouldn't work if you maually start the RUU once the original launched after USPL gaves the error.
I'm attaching another USPL try this other one...
2) if your pc does not see the PPC for USPL, try not other WWE roms, it should be for your ARTEXXXX, ther is ARTE100, ARTE110, ARTE1000, ARTE200 ...
try more than one till you'll get the 100% rom update.
Radio Only will not work, you are in bootloader, you have an OS problem! if it gives you the "windows mobile image" and stops there, so it's just the radio, else it's the OS and probably the radio!
do a full ROM updt, official WWE have both radio and OS.
I wish for you that your PPC doesn't stop at Windows Mobile Image (the one after boot image), I have thrown away a P3600 in this way!!! Radio was so curropted that I could not fix it anyway, nither MTTY, required a CIP programming, but I'm not good at...

no bootloader possible
hi,
I have tried everything on my T-Mobiel MDA Vario 3.
SSPL-KAIS.exe
JumpSPL 156, 193 and 194
pressing of any keys will not forward me into the bootloader
on my pda is IPL and SPL 3.15
I have also tried HardSPL 329 and 356, no success.
the only way to get into the bootloader is when starting KaiserCustomerRUU.exe, but no ROM is getting installed. I always receive an error 270 file defect. but this is not correct, as I have tested 3 or 4 different files.
does anybody have an idea?
thanks a lot

Hi!
Check hardware buttons,maybe one of them is broken,that's why you can't put your device in bootloader.
Make a Goldcard (search) and flash the Kaiser with Goldcard inside.It will revive your device.
