Hi i think my elfin is completely dead.
it was currently running the latest onyx.(although it doesn't appear to be the problem) at the moment it is plugged into the charger and doesn't show any sign of charging. any ideas would be awesome.
edit: i think i need a new battery cause its working now
could you enter in bootloader?
Hello!
I have the same problem with a friends elf. I can't get into bootloader mode, do a hard or soft reset and the little orange light (charging light) doesn't show up when i connect a power supply.
Is there any way of getting it to work again? I think that even for the Goldcard method at least the bootloader mode is required, right?
Thanks, Vi

Try putting your device into bootloader mode and making sure your XDA is plugged into the mains as well. There's also an upgrade program which bypasses country id checks.
Good luck.
I got the same problem with my Qtek 2020i today!!!!!
The device is dead and i can't put it into bootloader mode!
I need your help please
Try taking the battery out for about 1 hour. This will run the backup battery down therefore wiping the ram. Put the battery back in, connect it to the mains and put it into bootloader by pressing power, action and reset for about 3-5 seconds until serial appears on screen. No backlight so look carefully.
I tried to remove the battrey for 1 hour but it's still the same!
any way thanks for trying to help pug.
I have a new Prophet (JAMin) and it does not start, even when charged. All that happens is the lights at the top flash, the screen blinks and then no more.
Any ideas, as I need the device later!!!
Does it show any serial number on the bottom of the screen or does it just show a blank screen.
What you could do is remove the battery, SD card out and leave the device like that for about an hour or so. After an hour just insert the battery (not the SD card) and then try charging again. Let it charge for about half n hour and then try switching on the device. Most likely, your device will now wake up, if it doesn't then you will probably need to wait till the amber light turns green indicating a full charge. Try switching on the device again, if still no luck, then you will need to take it down to a service centre.
It works when using power adapter, but not on usb
The prophet does start up when using the power adapter, but not when on the USB. Have left it 'charging', but the charge light is not on.
USB only provides a trickle charge and hence is not the best solution for "waking up" a device. Always make sure that you charge your device through the provided AC adapter. Only in cases of emergency or when synchronisation allow USB charging.
No charge light
No charge light is on. Is that right?
If there is no charge light, that means its not charging to begin with. Can you check if the USB port you are charging from is functional by attaching another device to it. Incase the USB port is fine, try charging from a different USB port; if it still behaves the same way, i suggest you take it down to a service centre. Its quite possible that the charging port on the Prophet is damaged.

Mine used to be like that after I installed spb plus previous version, it wont start at all...I had to switch to a new machine (for free) coz it was only day-2 after i bought the device (nice service btw).
Cheers!
I Have an SPV M600 which when switched on the screen blinks and then powers off, no charging light will only power up with the charger plugged in not with the usb data cable, i used a file called hard_SPL-G4 since then this error occured i think its the software program loader.
I cant reflash via active sync because the device powers off without the AC charger. i do have SD cards, but im unsure how to flash from SD i want my original spl version back and a better OS.
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.01ip
GSM 02.69.21
OS 7.7.7.7
I can get to the tricolour screen bootloader with charger plugged please help any advice?
these are the original settings i think
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.1.22
Once it is in bootloader, can you switch it to the USB cable?
Q: Once it is in bootloader, can you switch it to the USB cable?
A: no it switches the power off when i unplug AC but i can get to the windows OS if i power on with AC..? but flash via activesync no AC on reset.
I do have two SPV M600s im not touching the working one. but would like to fix the other one. SD Flash would help possible corrupt OS or SPL i think?
i can gain access to bootloader but i dont know how to initialize the NBH rom,
i could start the extrom cabs which had an autorun with a list of execution
i updated the rom Mysterious_1.0 all went ok i think
then i ran hard_SPL-G4 i had a lot of errors about sleep4.exe not win32 i think.
i am running x64 pro and upon reset all i had was an occasional screen blink and weak flashing orange and blue led.
ive tried different battery and a different USB to miniUSB. the active sync does take long time looking for changes on OS.
from usb i hold camera button and click reset switch it goes to USB bootloader for a second then off
if theres anyone out there who knows how to reflash the SPL version and a new OS for an SPV M600 english lang from an SD card please link files and explain the process in as much detail please? thankyou!
i did also update the radio version GSM could that be a cause!
The radio version should have nothing to do with it...
I am fairly sure there is something on the wiki about flashing from a storage card, but you need to make the dump of the ROM from the working device, so not much help there...
If you can get into bootloader whilst it is plugged into your computer, it's a very easy problem to fix...
I have decided to find the pinouts for a 4.5V charger (it should be 5V but im not destroying original) and a spare USB-miniUSB attach the power terminals from the charger replacing the miniUSB charge terminals, which should allow me to go to bootloader with USB present. i will post my results in here soon
about accessing bootloader
Hi i have just executed the jump spl files on my problem device and its taken me to a white screen with usb data cable, which i heard is the bootloader really and used tera term pro to dump rom etc. its seems to of hanged at the minute does it take a while to write?
im guessing i could go into the white screen mode and reflash an original orange rom?
New Original OS installed
Hi ive successfully installed a new OS so i presume the white screen is a bootloader. still my problem of powering off upon boot exists, so using this method i want to change the details below
OLD SETTINGS
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.01ip
GSM 02.69.21
OS 7.7.7.7
NEW SETTINGS
IPL 2.10.0001 check
SPL 2.21.01ip SPL 2.10.0001 wanted
GSM 02.69.21 GSM 02.07.20 wanted
OS 2.10.1.22 check
Can i reinstall the wanted SPL/GSM from the white screen loader? does anyone know where i can get the files. SPV M600
Repaired 100%
I did it, its fixed charges now from USB data cable. and can enter tricolour bootloader. the problem was something wrong with the spl flash process ive redone that no errors excellent. im happy now
Will a ROM flash now?
Need help!
I have been messing with this phone for afew days now can't seem to get it to work. When I power the phone on all I see on the screen is green screen that says "IU BUILD! Test Only" this ws the result of a hard reset. The device is sim unlocked but I don't believe it's super cid unlocked. I'm unable to do anything except for hard resets and bootloader screen. I was going to try to reflash the original rom but can't seem to find any, I only have access to the sp3 roms which I can't use since it's not super cid unlocked. Any help would be great!!!
iMate OEM ROM
http://rapidshare.com/files/61129896/SP3_WWE_2.4.33.11.zip
Here is a link to an iMate OEM ROM. Start in bootloader and execute this to see if you can recover your device. You haven't shared much about what you phone is or how it ended up like it is. You are correct that it needs an OEM ROM, then application unlocked then Super CID unlocker before flashing a custom ROM. Good Luck and report back you results.
The phone is a Krome IQ700. In bootloader mode it shows IPL 0.27 SPL 1.01.0109 Typhoon UI. Another problem is active sync does NOT see the phone. When attempting to load any rom I get error 264. I think I might have to load rom with SD the only proble is I've never had to do this before so any help would be great. I could honestly live w/o the phone but I think this would be a great learning expirence. Thanks in advance.

Remove the battery and memory card, wait 30 minutes then re-insert the battery. Hold in the camera button and then plug in the USB. If it is still alive, it will open in bootloader (Red, Green, Blue) mode.
still dead... what do you think happened?

I had this once when my oem battery died. I was able to jumpstart it and get it to recharge using a 9v battery to kick it up from nearly 0V.
If you have a battery meter, you can test the contacts, looking for 4v across the battery terminals (remove battery from phon to test). If you get < 2v then you battery does not have enouge juice to power up.
Once you get power back, do you have the ROM from your OEM? You should be searching for it in the mean time. If I find anything on it, I will let you know as well.
Everything I see on your phone specs appears that it should respond and behave like all of the other Typhoons/Sp3's. As long as you followed the unlocking steps from Karhoe's post (second sticky on typhoon main page), your device should not be a brick. If you recover power, you may want to first flash an WM5 ROM from one of the posts then try to flash WM6 as this is the prescribed method starting from WM2003.
All started with trying to upgrade(rewrite) the GSM part because the Hermes had problems with phone part - when trying to call - the phone stop responding, bus the pda part sill worked.
So - I tried and tried and tried again, reading many threads about HARD SPL,Flashing radio, etc. Nothing worked..
In the end "i managed" to kill GSM - phone had "No Gsm" on boot-up.
From there i tried to downgrade SPL to 1.04 so that i try to "raw" rewrite the GSM part.
But something went terribly wrong, and while downgrading SPL, the phone suddently shutdown and never opened again.
Now i have the folowing situation: NO BOOTLOADER, no usb conectivity, nothing
This means that i cannot connect via USB whatever i try.
Is there any hope for me? or is it TOTALLY BRICKED?
Any help is apreciated!! I can even dismantle the mobile if there is any way to flash it via some kind of jtag connection...anything ...
The folks at www.imei-check.com can do the JTAG flashing. Just email them. It would be costly for you to do it yourself...
Are you saying that the phone won't turn on at all or that it does but you can't get a bootloader screen?
Have you tried taking the battery out for a while? Have you tried flashing an OEM rom and radio compatible with your device off an SD card?
All of this info is in the wiki, as are OEM roms you can flash.
Let us know how you get on.
Good luck.

Try this:
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber
5.) Soft Reset
@wacky.banana: The phone is totaly dead: no bootloader, doesn't boot at all, doesn't seem to have any USB conectivity at all. Flashing from micro sd doesn't work : probably because the bootloader isn't working.
@drummer10630: i'll check with imei-chek about jtag flashing, especially the price and shiping costs.thanks
@markafreeman: I tried, but when i put the battery in, the red light goes off, not to amber . no soft or hard reset helps. not even leaving the battery out for 2 weeks - i had tried that too . thanks anyway.
Anything else I can try? - phone totaly dead, no bootloder, no usb conectivity - cannot use mtty, cannot flash from microsd
I had to get a replacement device at that point when it happened to me.
Maybe someone else know a way to get it working.
Good luck.
get onto orange
tell them you dropped the phone
and it crashed and wouldnt turn on
so you managed to hard reset it
and it crashed an ****ed up
they'll replace it
well they will send it to HTC
who just replace the handset rather than repair it
Hi dancameo2k , maybe you will not remember but plz:
I ve bought recenty an spv m3100, im effortless trying to flash the rom to an wm6 version.
Like you ive started with the hardsppl flash thing to prevent bricking it and prior to sd flashing... and im not sure if its workin...
plz can you explain in detail how did you bricked it??? thx!!!!
the rom you used to flash was an american version or european one???
I flashed my htc elf (t-mobile touch) with onyx ultimate, just over halway it froze, then my whole pc froze and crashed, the phone turned off and i havent been able to get it on since, no lights, no screen, nothing
PLEASE HELP
I have tried:
power button
soft reset
hard reset
bootloader mode
plugging it into my pc and my mac to charge it but still no power
tried plugging it into my pc without the battery to see if the orange light comes on
Any Ideas??
I'm not exactly an expert but I'd have thought attempting to flashing a ROM shouldn't break its power supply. It doesn't add up. You mention the orange light, but does it actually come on or not?
I'll assume you flashed a USPL or you probably wouldn't be getting past 3% in the first place lol.
strange one
yea, it was all ready to be flashed, it was previously on a geniric htc rom that i put on it.
there is no orange light at all, no nothing, i cant seam to work it out, i mate has the same phone and im gonna try his charger and battery when i see him tomorrow but i still cant see how flashing it would affect the power, unless the device is blank now and it doesnt even know what the buttons do e.g the power button is not assigned to do anything.
try with another fully charged battery... and ELF/ELFin Golcard method, with a suitable flash file (like a Original one)
Just my 2 cents...
Try put the battery with the camera button pressed..
i have had the same problem
pres start button and fotos together
will appear 4 colors and ipl ..... and spl ........
if its appear: ipl 2....... and spl 1.11.000 you must upgrade your spl
