Hi all,
Since last friday I'm the happy owner of an S200, until sunday atleast. After a soft-reset, initiated from windows, my device won't boot anymore. It hangs in the red-green-blue bootloader screen (says: IPL 2.09, SPL 2.09). I've tried soft-resets and hard-resets, but the device would consequently keep hanging in the bootloader.
So for the past few days I've been searching the web and just managed to update the ROM. I was expecting that updating the ROM succesfully would mean my device would boot again, but it still keeps hanging in the bootloader (saying IPL 2.09 SPL 2.15 now, so the update did take place).
Does anyone has any idea whats wrong with my phone? Or how to fix this? Please help.
* bump *
I've been searching further and tried to do a SD dump, but I'm getting the message I don't got enough rights to perform a SD dump. This meens my S200 isn't CID unlocked. Is there any way to CID unlock the device without the need of booting into WM?
The solution to your problem
Hello, if you are having bootloader screen right after starting your mobile (prophet) check if your camera button is depressed since i had the similar problem. In my case i had to disassembly the phone in order to fix it. Right after fixing the button it worked fine
hi syzzer,
i really feel with you - why? - i have the exactly same problem. after i tried to upgrade my rom from o2-germany to another one the device isn't starting anymore and hangs in the beautiful-colored bootloader. and now, if i just even want to re-install the same or another rom, doesnt matter which one, the s200 wont start again. i think this is a really unlucky situation for us to stand alone with our weak pda =) hoping for more help, otherwise we have to take up our warranty and try to get it fixed by the store we did buy it (if a rom-update damage is still in warranty )
good luck
budy!

hello Syzzer
I have the same problem, but i make a soft reset and it works.
Camera but + Com Button + Power
Wait until message appear.
You Get the message : For Hard reset press send
If you choose other key the system boots normaly.
I had already tried all your suggestions, but nothing seemed to work.
About a month ago I bought a Trinity. In the mean while, I forgot I had put my S200 in my bag and carried it around for a month. When I found it a week ago and started pressing random buttons, it suddenly booted and has been working ever since! The problem has gone as mysterious as it came. I can only imagine there was some hardware failure / dirt in my device that caused the trouble and is now gone / moved to some place it does not do harm. Because I already bought a Trinity, I gave the S200 to my brother. He's been using it ever since and did not have any problems. So keep your head up, there's hope!
I m also having the same problem
Now I am having the same problem, no button is pressed, and I can not install the NVID ROM
Actually I can install only a few ROMs, the NVID ROM was working before on my Neo perfectly but, I think it can be because I have changed many ROMs, from a month, actually I have tried different WM6 ROMs and I used NVID ROMs mostly for Step 1.
Now when I install any ROM, it shows a msg some nbf one after 80% or 95%
It can install the pdaviet first step ROM, but now the problem is that it hangs very much and it can not start Wifi, it has stopped working, a few more ROMs i have tried, but the WIFI is completely stopped.
When I press it in communication manager, it will show busy icon for a few seconds and will not start it in end.(I tried it in both WM5 and WM6, same problem, I also tried after soft reset and hard reset, the problem is still there)
Please someone help me out.
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 all,
my jasjar had an error while upgrading to ranju 7.7,
i tried to reset, didn't came back,
hard reset neither,
i went to bootloader mode, i could,
i connected it again to the pc, it showed usb,
i tried to flash to Rom that was working previously it arrives to 7% than stops,
what should i do ...
i tried to flash with official rom, it says that the rom wasn't designed for this model, it has worked before...
please help...
Hi,
if you search in the ranju's thread there's the solution.
You could have the doc corrupted. Simply read the wiki,
you must use mtty to format your device and then reflash the rom you want (with radio rom also).
Had similar problem
upgrading Imate JasJar to Ranju 7.7, only at first it showed as success, then it started behaving funny during customization, then failed to customize, then got stuck on Windows 6.1 green flash screen and eventually refused to budge beyond blue Imate screen with versions info. I tried everything, a few dozens of hard resets returned me to the same problem, removing the battery didn't do much and mtty didn't show USB as available option, so couldn't even use that. I was pretty much stuck solidly and for a while. At my wits end I read that problems like mine are associated with DOC corruption and my JasJar is as good as dead, quite a few people suggested to those who are in the same position to throw their bricked babies away, as there is no economic solution apart from sending it for service where the corrupted chip may be replaced. What do you know, I followed wiki recommendation and entered a boot screen by pressing light power reset, then just flashed back to Ranju 7.6 and my JasJar was brought back to life!!! The update went without a glitch and everything is working fine. I guess I will keep the 7.7 on my O2 and 7.6 on my Imate for now, won't be risking an update anymore on the JasJar, don't think I have much hair left after all the pulling I did trying to bring it back to life. Hope this helps someone in the same predicament

Problem resolved?
I have a T-mobile MDA G3 U.S. and I had it unlocked and flashed with some custom ROM I don't remember. I got a Herald couple days ago so I gave it away to a friend. As requested by him, I flashed it with a Chinese wm6 rom. However, it turned out he wanted to use touch flo and stuff so we found another Chinese ROM with that and flashed it. During the flashing process, I noticed an unusual long waiting time after the progress bar got to 100%. After succeed, the ROM turned out to be the original Chinese ROM again. I figured there might be some problem with unlocking so I unlocked it with lokiwizard tool again, but this time it won't even lemme update the ROM! RUU tool said "Communication error". The problem turned out to be the phone cannot establish USB connection under 3 color mode(when I plug it in under 3-color, computer sounds like you plugged in a failed USB device). Now I can't even flash it with the original T-Mobile 2.26 WWE! I tried hard reset and everything but I still can't connect under 3-color mode. Though that ActiveSync worked fine. Please help me!
(Maybe I can, in some way, flash it without USB?)
You got to have usb working to flash,check if the usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone.Did you try with a different usb cable or on a different usb port of the pc,even you can try with some other pc.If the usb cable is faulty,replace it,but if its the mini usb port of the phone,it'll have to be either repaired or replaced.
There's no other possible method to flash a rom,the only other method which might be possible is through Sdcard backup rom using MTTY commands,but its only possible if you had already backed up the rom on a Sdcard and the phone is already CID unlocked.
I tried replacing two more USB cables and on a different computer, still no luck.
Wierd thing is, I have USB working under ActiveSync, but not in 3-color mode. I don't know much about how the phone works but I figured the 3-color mode might be a part of SPL? And somehow I've damaged it. The phone still works fine, plus ActiveSync. It's just I can't flash it anymore.
thanks to zabardast,
it turned out to be I had tried with 2 faulty cables... =/
Well I'm still stuck with this ROM, I used lokiwiz03a to unlock my phone and it worked fine(IPL/SPL 2.26). When I was using RUU to flash it, I still have the same problem. Nothing was flashed, nothing happened. What should I do?

Download WST_4.2.2 tool and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID lock/unlock status of the phone and proceed further,you need to use lokiwiz02b to work on G3 device for CID unlocking and not lokiwiz03a.
Secondly, Hard Reset the phone,it might be that Extended_Rom has got corrupted and download the official carrier's rom and flash it to recover back to its default working status and than go further.
Hi all,
a few days ago I installed IlSalgo 6.5 rom because sometimes i've found my polaris with 3lit3 rom powered off.
This morning after I powered on my polaris it stopped at the first screen (on energy star) and then it shutdown.
I tried with an hard reset while it starts, but nothing changes...
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance,
Reveng3
P.S. sorry for my english
try to put into bootloader; hold camera and press the reset hole.
Then when in this flash your stock rom that was shipped with it or the 6.1 upgrade that was released. See if that brings it back to life!
Let us know what happens after that and go from there.
I tried putting it into bootloader... it shows the colors screen and then shutdown....
But now it works....(finally it stopped on colors screen without power off)
maybe after i removed the microSd (i tried with and without microSd, with and without sim, soft reset, hard reset, bootloader)
this evening i'll try using again my microSd card...
thanks
I have another problem...
i'm trying to change rom.... (pcarvalho eXtreme) because after I restored the rom.... it stopped working again...
in the pcarvalho rom page there is "flash this rom 1st if you have any stability issues" (the original htc rom)
ok, i'm flashing my htc....
i'm on 31% and the update is blocked.....
is there a way to avoid problems? now I think the only thing i can do, is to remove the usb cable or kill the update process....
please help me...
thanks...
Edit: i'm trying with recovery (rom updater utility, after connection blocked, says me to recover.....).... brrr....
Edit2: blocked again on 31%...... please tell me something....
