Hi All,
I've tried to upgrade the ROM of my QTEK S200.
It got completely stuck!!! I had to remove the battery. Now it stays black. Even a hard-reset does nothing. No bootloader, no white screen, nothing. It's like the device doesn't recognize the battery anymore. Same problem with another battery. When I connect the power supply, the light stays red for 5 seconds and then goes out again. No charging (orange) light.
Does this mean that the device was short-cutted (hardware problem) or can this be fixed with some manipulation?
Anybody an idea how I can fix the hardware (if broken) myself? Can't be to difficult if it just blew a fuse ;-)
Thanks

Hello knowledgeable guys out there, i had a major problem with my xdaII, the amber/green LED light just wont turn off, even when unplugged to the charger, im affraid that this can drain my battery, i tried hard-resseting and reflashing the rom, btw i use 2.06WWE rom and extended rom from Sin. Can anybody suggest a brighter idea?

Try to take off batery for few min.
Amber LED
I tell you pal.. just reflash your device and reload the OS once again, this might fix the bug..
Good luck... :?
i tried removing the battery and letting it drain off, but still the problem persist, its like its always on the charging mode even when you are not charging it, and its burning power more quickly, the battery dramatically goes down quick. Its original ROM was 1.66, then i encountered that problem, then i thought reflashing it with a newer version of ROM, 2.06 could fix the problem, but it still cant be fixed, any other bright ideas? or any of you guys out there had encountered this problem before?
Better bring it to your nearest service center. Its a mechanical problem.
Goodluck
ok, il try to bring it back to globe telecom, im sure its still under warranty. Thank you guys for your acknowledgement
I have a Qtek 2020i and recently I also have this problem, the amber led is always on even if it's not in charging mode, and the battery discharge very quickly, only one night! (I use 2400 mAh battery!).
If I do a soft reset and don't turn off the PDA, the amber led is not turned on, so looks like normal, but if I turn off and turn on again, the ambed led will turn on in 4s approximately.
I have this problem since the day I unplugged my 2020i from USB cable on PC (usb mode with CARD EXPORT) without desactivate usb connection on PC side.
I've tried everything but still not working, flash rom, activesync & usb mode, unscrew and open the pda completely...
Can anyone help?
this is my firends phone - tmobile cmpact 2 - its never been cooked, standard wm5 rom and no upgrades or downloads. it suddenyl today entered bootload screen - we took out the battery restarted, then it loads to the tmobile splash screen the cuts off, now it wont even turn on
tried charging it, and the charge light doesnt ocm eon, any ideas??
Thanks
anyone?..........................................
You have to enter bootloader mode (look up the wiki for how to) and then run the official rom upgrade for charmer.
my charmer is also dead
right in the middle of typing in an adress at iGO on my Charmer with WM5 it started rebooting and turned black after the T-Mobile bootscreen. And I could only turn it on by removing the battery, waiting for some minutes and then turning on again, just to see the same thing happening - black after T-Mobile screen.
Now I cannot turn it on at all, cannot reset (neither hard nor soft), cannot get into bootloader nor can I charge it (at least no LED is indicating anything).
Does anybody have an idea? vlodeck?
At the moment I am not at home, so I cann't try the original power supply (so far I used the one in the car).
Thanks in advance!
There are two possible outcomes Jared.
Either your power supply in the car is not enough to lift up Charmer.
Or your battery went totally dead, in which case you would have to buy a new battery.
Good luck.
Thanks for the fast support!
the strange thing is, that it all started with battery at about 80%...
I will check on sunday with the original power supply and a battery from another device. Then I will let you know the outcome.
I can lend you my battery, Jared!
...to see if it is really the battery.
Otherwise I can only recommend the HTC Kaiser ;-)
problem solved for now
thanks frikibaby for the offer...
but vlodeck was right. At home I pluged in the charger and it started charging and I can also turn it on again. So for some reason my car charger does not charge the charmer anymore although the indicator and the battery bar says so ...???
Thanks for the support!!
hi! i have a dead htc prophet and i was hoping you could help me
sort things out.i was using my pda normally and suddenly it went dead.
it won`t charge, when the power adapter is plugged in no leds light up and
i can`t enter bootloader. Also i can`t hard reset or do anything with the damn thing. i have tested the battery and it is half full and the pins of the pda and the minus ( - ) appears to be dead (0 volts, 0 amps).
what can i do? i have tried everything and the device just won`t start up.
thanks in advance.
i am sorry
I have one too...
Only red LED lit up when plugged to power adapter. That the only respond. Other than that, DEAD...
I had a smilar things with mine. In the end I worked out that the back of the LCD screen was making contact somehwere and shorting the thing. Put some parcel tape over the back of the LCD and it worked again.
Take it appart, and good luck.
same problem here
Did you ever find a solution?
Guys, my Jasjar just died today while I had about 1/8th of the bar left. I didn't see it die with my own eyes, I just put it in my pocket, when I brought it out next it was dead.
Now I am worried about whether it is just a battery problem or if the hardware is really shot. Whenever I try to press the reset button the orange LED lights up for a split second, then nothing. If the unit is plugged in to a PC via USB the PC will detect it momentarily, then tell me there was an error recognizing the device.
If I press both Soft Keys the Orange LED flashes momentarily and I end up getting the boot loader screen where I can press 0 to reset to factory defaults or x to cancel. Regardless of which I do the phone dies out immediately afterwards.
With these symptoms, can anyone here tell me whether it is a battery problem or a hardware problem with the phone itself (and thus needing far more drastic repairs).
I am hoping it is just a battery problem.
Please advise, thanks.
Just an update if anyone has the same problem, I was able to fix the problem by re-flashing my ROM.
Hello everyone,
Yesterday, I got an Orange SPV M3100 from a friend but I cannot get it to switch on. I can get into the bootloader mode and the information the bootloader gives is:
Code:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I have tried a hard reset, it says that the phone has been restored and press SPACE to boot but when pressing space nothing happens - no Orange Logo, no splash screen - absolutely nothing - it doesnt even attempt to boot. The same happens with the power button - no attempt to boot. However in both cases (when I hold the power button down and after a hard reset, the green LED lights up)
At first I thought the battery was dry (since the phone hadnt been used for a few months) but even after charging it for a few hours, no difference. However, I am not sure whether there is a problem when charging it (no LEDs light up when charging - is this normal - i thought an Amber light should come on). However, the phone does have enough charge to stay in the bootloader screen for hours so I think it is charging.
Ive tried searching the board and the wiki but I cannot find anything similar to this (most people have at least the operator logo or windows logo coming on)
I would appreciate any advice as to what is wrong with the phone and whether I can go about fixing it.
Thanks in advance for your help and if you need any more info please do ask.
