Hi Everyone!
I got the following problem with my Charmer:
The previous guy, who had this phone, flashed it with a wrong ROM. The phone hangs at the T-mobile splash screen. I beleived that I can fix this problem, because I made this with my Charmer earlier. (Thanks for rmagyar's Charmer rescue kit). But at this time, when I put the phone into bootloader mode to use the rescue kit, there is no usb connection. It can't be charged, and the PC doesn't see the phone.
Any ideas, how to flash the rescue kit? Can I get back the usb connection?
I have same problem, anyone know?
try this, plug usb cable in PDA, press and hold power+camera button, tick RESET 5 sec and release reset button, but hold power+camera. if you see left side screen USB release power+camera button. it work for me, may be helped you!!!
I am sorry, I have this problem on my Xperia X1, but maybe someone from there have an idea...

If Disabled than restart PC.

Guy,
Please Help
I was upgrading my XDAIIi to Xda IIi ROM v 1.11.162. during which it show an error message and it just went blank looking closely at the screen showing USB at the top of the screen and the bottom of it has v1.01,
when put on the cradle it showing USB.
I have press the reset botton God knows how many times
Please help someone
Were you trying to upgrade to the rom I posted? With RADIO 1.03 in the filename?
You need to press the power, d-button down and the reset button all together.
Then run the update program again. If it is the original O2 rom then it should work fine from there. If it is the rom I posted then the update will fail initially, just run the program a second time without touching your phone at all.
Hope this helps.
No, I am upgrading from O2 website. I am sorry it not connecting to my pc at all. No sign of life ,
it only display USB on the screen
Try doing a hard reset by holding the power button down and pressing the reset button.
Put it into bootloader by pressing the power, d-button down and the reset button all together and releasing them at the same time. The screen should say SERIAL. Connect it to your PC and the screen should then say USB. Then you should be able to run the update.
If this doesn't work as a last resort try taking the battery out for a while to let the backup run down and start again. Whatever happens the phone needs to go into bootloader mode and a rom applied to get it working again.
Please, which is the D-botton you are refering to
The D button is the "Directional" button, in between the green pickup phone button and the red hang up button.
I was trying to upgrade to the WM5 rom. But it went wrong and now my smt5600 is not booting up at all. Its DEAD. Anyone have any idea how i can get the phone working again. I connect the phone to the USB cable and there still nothing. HELP somebody....
Can you get it manually in bootloadermode? If that's possible, connect USB & reflash. I don't know how to get a typhoon in bootloader, that's something you've got to find out yourself.
Regards, M
[edit]
& the wiki tells you how to get it in bootloader:
the bootloader
enter bootloader, by turning off device, then hold down camera button, and briefly press the power button.
see http://www.clubimate.com/index.asp?PageAction=DEVICEFAQ_SP3 for more info
an easier way, that does not require the right timing for button presses, is to hook your device to usb, turn it off. press the camera button, it should immediately enter the bootloader.
The phone seems dead. It will not turn on. No lights. It seems if the flash memory is shut down. I tried to flash it with WM5 and look where it got me. I wish I can get to bootload but nothing.
I assume this WM5 'release' wasn't released by your provider, was it? Did they release any official updates & is your phone still covered under warranty? If so try to get it fixed with the claim that you upgraded with the rom they supplied. It's worth to try, cause I don't know no other way than a Service Center to get it functioning again.
BTW was your battery full enough or almost empty?
Feeling with you, M
hi there,
i bought this phone off ebay from someone who said i can reflash it to work.
it appears that the phone is realy dead.
The phone starts at&t splash appears, seems that it boots ok, however another splash screen appears saying GOODBYE and the phone powers off itself.
i tried to connect the phone on my PC with no luck. Used all the drivers and instructions through various forums but it appears that the phone is only found as "unknown device"!
When I try the Bootloader mode, I get :
*USB Downloader-Xcingular V1.2
[Phone] Active OFF
If i press left soft key + camera + power button, it boots into some other menu that has the windows moobile logo and on the very top it says:
Hit space or "0" to enter configuration
then if i press other buttons on the mouse it lists the following and after a few seconds it boots and powers off as in normal mode.
OEMLaunch BOOT Version : i607UCGD
INFO: Launch Windows CE .NET by jum
is there a solution to this stupid flash or shall i keep the accessories and battery and throw it in the garbage.
cheers
tio
Unfortunately no one has yet discovered a way to recover from this (flashing the wrong eboot to the phone)
If you are going to discard it, I would be willing to pay shipping etc. to see if I could resurrect it.
how would you go about doing that man?
i could resurrect it too if it was possible.
would a serial cable do the job?
is it the bootloader the problem?
is it that the phone cannot be recognized by the PC?
what is the problem here actually?
my verizon xperia is not recognized by either pc companion or seus. I am trying to do a hard reset due to the fact the lockscreen doesnt work. I have read that I can press and hold the back and search keys on front while powering on to factory reset the phone, however that does not seem to be the case. Can anyone give me some suggestions if the two button factory reset does work and that maybe I am just doing it wrong. And any suggestions as to how to get my phone to connect with seus so I can reset if teh 2 button trick is indeed not an option. Thank you to all in advance.
Doesnt anyone have an idea? I follow seus instructions. Power off wait 30 seconds, then plug in the usb cord to the pc, then press and hold the back button then inserting the usb cable into the phone... and then I wait for it to connect which it doesnt.
Please more informations.
Is your phone rooted?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
are alle drivers installed on your computer?
after that i can help you
greetz -Blizzrar-
No the device is not rooted or bootloader unlocked. it is the verizon version. Thank you for your help...
if you hold the "BACK" button, the LED turns green?
Are you sure that you have all drivers installed for Zeus mode?
plz Check that out in your systeminformations / hardware / SEMC Flash device
this must be installed. Maybe google this and downlodet this driver.
wait for reply
When i press the back button the light is still blue. I will google the drivers you mentioned. The only drivers I hae installed so far are the s1fastboot. What is ZUES? Thank you again
you will repair your phone with sony pc-companion right?
This works only in SEMC / ZEUS mode. The Led is than still green.
in the moment you are in fastboot mode.
then you holding the "SEARCH" botton and plugged your device the Led is blue.
You are in the wrong mode^^
Please holding the BACK botton, not the SEARCH botton.
sorry my english is bad i hope you can understand me
I want to repair it with the Sony update software if possible. However no matter what I do the phones light is blue, and pressing the back button does not change it to green. Also as I am not able to go beyond the lockscreen I am unable to enter into the phones settings.... I tried to do a search for the drivers you mentioned but I am still not able to find anything... the only drivers I have installed are the S1Fastboot drivers..
thats bad that you can´t go in SEMC Mode.
Please look in the developers area of the xperia play. search the topic to unlock your bootloader.
Unlock it and use the fastbootmode to recover your device.
Ok, I will start looking there. Thank you for your assistance blizzrar, I really appreciate your feedback and guidance
Hi there,
I´ve a Vega and I installed de vegacomb build 7. Discovered that once it was power off it stucks in the vegacomb logo endlesly. I updated to build 8.1 and the same problem came across.
I found a GTab rom and as the tablet has multiple names (mine´s is actually called dvc p10 P10AN class 3G version) I installed it by error.
Now there is no way to plug it to de PC in recovery mode again and it doesn´t start at all, the screen seems to get on, but nothing happens.
The power-back button combination doesn´t work any more. Any suggestion?
Thnx a lot!
make sure the tablet is fully charged and plugged into the
Mains when you try to enter recovery. It should get there in the end.
Please post questions in the general section. This is for development only!
Mods please move this thread.
This sort of happened to me, try this.

Sorry if its not the appropiate section. I posted here because brick mostly happens as a result of a failure of a ROM issue. Move it if you thinks it´s not the place.
I´ve tried B1scu1T method and still nothing.
Regards
In your Windows desktop make sure you're looking at the device manager to ensure you can see if a device is detected. Also make sure you have sound, it helps to know when a deviced is plugged.
Fully charge the Vega.
Make sure the charger is plugged into the Vega
Connect the USB cable from the Vega to a tested USB port directly on the PC (not into a USB hub)
Press and hold back and then press power on the Vega.
Hope it works!
I´ve tried the back-power button combination as I always do, the thing is now the device is not recongnized by de PC. Nothing appears.
Don´t know if anyone has another combination of buttons or solution.
Thanks again, when this is solved we can go back to the enless logo at the start, but now I have this previous problem.
sometimes it doesnt show anything on the screen.
so your Vega will have black screen. follow procedure to put it in recovery mode then execute DEFAULT EXE from Vega website it will open CMD window and tell you that device is not connected or just start installing.
if it says not connected then try again to put it in recovery mode etc till you get install running. It will work AFAIK recovery on Vega + hardware buttons makes it brick proof but i might be wrong there is always first time
Goomy
After millions of tries it finally works!... Now we can go to the problem with the endless logo loop at the start up of the vegacomb 8.1.
Thanks a lot!... and never try a rom from other tablet!
See you in the ROM forum!
