Old P3300 - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hi everybody,
I have searched the forum for a way to fix my old P3300, but I can't find.
I have this P3300 that was bought unlocked a long time ago.
One morning it was dead.
Now I can get to the bootloader screen (red, blue, green and white) with the following information:
IPL 3.13.0001
SPL 3.13.0000
I have USB link on the bottom and it is recognized by Windows XP.
When I try to run HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe it detects the phone says that will upgrade from <blank> to 3.13.405.1. It starts but fails between 2 and 3% with error (228) invalid file size.
Am I doing something wrong or not and it's time to get a new phone?
Thanks for any assistance.

try update with sdcard,be work sure, copy nbh file from your rom into the sd card formated with fat32,rename ruu_sihned.nbh with ARTEIMG.nbh,put the card into the phone and wen open it pres down volume key

or,Remove the SD card from the phone,close activesync conection,run mtty and tipe "wdata" command,after this you can run your update utility

I need help to repair my Qtek

Hello
I just did the following :
download the files from www.carrierdevices.com.au for Qtek 101 update
"Qtek 1010 Upgrade
(22102003-190723)-RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
File Contents
• CE Upgrade File : RUU_CEv3.18.04wwe_Qtek_SHIP.exe
• Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
"
When the process began there was an error asking to press OK for restart.
After restarting device in the boot sequence ( when logo is diplayed) there are no informations about the ROM. Just Radion version is diplayed and that is the new version one (3.25)
Also on the display there is no start icon and I cannot use the display because it seems to be decalibrated completly.
Very Important : When I try to connect to Activesync after a while it telling me that the device is not a smartphone or a pocket PC and cannot be connected. So I cant use any program to try to upgrade again.
What to do ?
Please try to give examples and link to download files in order to fix my device.
Thanks in advance

Hi ...
If you still can get to the boot loader screen (power button + soft reset) and it displays "GSM OK", that means there is a good chance that the flash ROM is not damaged.
You can either put the ROM and RSU files on SD card through a card reader (.nbf files) or to get a valid SD backup for CE + Radio from any working XDA and use the boot loader screen to flash your device again.
Good luck ...
thanks, where I can get some files?
Thank you for your replay,
It seems to be ok cause i can upload a new CE in SD format to the device. ROM was build in the kithcenROM from yorch.net.
It still not working cause perhaps I need the file containing Radio and CE as well in SD format.
Do you know where I can get it ?
I dont think I can get another device to read the files on the SD.
Many thanks,
Silviu C.
I 'm not sure which stage you are stuck with now ... if you can put CE image on SD card and flash it using the boot loader, that means you can boot your XDA and flash the RSU through a normal EXE file from yorch.net .... if this is not the case then you most propably have the wrong file format on the SD card.
Give more details plz
present situation
I am at the edge of disperation.
Steps of what I did :
1. Back up Boot and CE to SD and save them to HDD.
2. Build a CE from Yorch.net in nb1 format and write it to SD with an adaptor.
3. Flash the device with that specific file ( was just CE , not including bootloader)
Now, my pocket is like that:
It cannot been powered from the power button
It start when plug in the charger
I cannot go in bootstrap mode ( when procedure for activating is made I just got a small red flash from the LED)
I have to mention that I choose from the yorch options :" lock butons except power when the device is turned off "
So, now I cannot use the SD for try another flash image.
I cannot use activesync because it cannot recognize the device. Somthing is wrong in the header of the authorising string or something like that.
When I plug the USB cable, activesync is starting but after 10 secs a pop up telling me that the device cannot be recognize, it is not a smartphone or pocket pc.
I am stack.
Thank you
Silviu C.
another question
I have another question:
Is there anywhere - in situation that the problem with boostrap will be solved somehow - full flash containing both radio and CE ?
Thank you,
Silviu C.
some little success
I have suceded by entering in bootrap mode !!
It telling me that I have GSM ERROR
What to do?
IS there any way I can get a full flash for Qtek with radio and OS as well?
Thanks,
Silviu C.
In the boot loader screen, try to press the calendar button ... it should give you the GSM menu. Select "Reset" or "Turn off" and do a soft reset
Plz do NOT try band switching or "Calib/debug"!
It sounds like a failed radio stack upgrade, you can try copying the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file to your SD card then run it from there.
You can get the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file by using WinZip to extract it from the RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG)[1].exe file.

Have you placed the phone into bootloader mode before using the RUU? (Holding the camera down and pressiing the soft reset button?)
Activesyn won't recognize the phone if connected during bootloader ... but if the phone says "USB" on the bottom left, you can run the RUU and it will work.
My device display "USB" in bootloader mode when i connect it to my PC.
But the problem is that the pc can't detect a new device connected...
When i try to flash by the SD card my herald can't detect the card!
I'm affraid! Please HELP ME!!!

Stuck on bootloader menu after error upgrading ROM

Help,
Is there a way to get the OS and boot img for my o2 XDA to put on my SD card so i can recover it?
I'm stuck on the boot-loader screen (version 5.22) i can not use active sync as it comes up as unrecognized device, im at my wits end, i just want to get my phone working again. is there any place i can get the O2 ROM file from? or anything that can be done, or do i have a useless brick now?
i tried upgrading with the developers ROM using the auto install, it got to the "it will take 5 mins to upgrade" screen then active sync lost connection, there was nothing showing in the progress bar, when i tried to restart, active sync could not connect. now im stuck with the boot-loader menu after a soft reset.
Sorry for the double post,
Right sorted the problem out, got a cooked ROM from a different site as no link i clicked on here was still active.
I found out that if you Format the SD card to Fat32 when in bootloader it doesn't recognize the ROM, so a format to just FAT under windows XP sorted it out, and now I'm back up and running again, though now i cant get my phone unlocked to Vodafone as the XDAunlock returns "error getting code" message. here are my Device info
Rom version 3.17.03
Radio version 4.21.X1
Protcal version 32S54
problem resolved by updating the Radio stack to 6.24 (placing the files onto the device and upgrading from there) once that had done, i had no signal, so downgraded it back to 4.21 and now I'm fully functional
Where did you get the ROM?
I have a similar problem with an XDA which failed whilst being flashed via active sync and now will not start apart from via bootloader. Where did you get the ROM that you mention please?
Thanks
Geezer
use this ROM from http://www.romkitchen.de/ choose one that u will use to cook, PC2002 or WM2003/SE, (WM2003SE cannot use SD Card, only can use activesyn) then downgrade bootloader from v5.22 to v5.15,
using MMC (flash SD) continue to special rom 1.2, Go to the bootloader utilities. Hit Contacts button and you'll get the boot loader option stuff. If the bootloader utilities you get to right away takes you to a menu with things like Boot+CE-->SD then you don't have to worry about hitting the contacts button. You only need Contacts button if when you get to the bootloader screen you see nothing more than some nice colors, the bootloader version and "GSM OK" message.
Take the Boot+CE-->SD option to back everything up. This will take a few minutes.
Once it's done pull the SD out ofthe ppcpe and stick it into your SD card reader. Bring up XDArit and chose your removeable device.
If you have more than one MMC slot select the different ones until you get one that says 'Wallaby' in the hex codes at the bottom of the XDArit screen. You'll be writing out two files, the first is the NB0 file (which is the bootloader) and the second is the NB1 file (which is the OS or ROM). Name these something like original.nb0 and 1.
Wipe the SD card (format FAT). Stick the SD card back into the pda and soft reset, then cradle it.
Go to a DOS prompt and CD to where you put 'pnewbootflash_40116.exe.' Type 'pnewbootflash_40116 nbl515.nb0' to write the Wallaby 5.15 boot loader to the device. If when you downloaded the 5.15 bootloader you called it something else (like 'wallaby_boot_loader_V5.15.nb0' you should of course use that name instead!
The output looks like this:
D:\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader_40116 bl515.nb0
Copying D:\XDAtools\binaries\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll

[Q] Vanilla upgrade failed, USB out on TYTN

Hello,
I've tried to reload my TYTN with Vanilla Rom to resolve the 'no gsm' message on it. During the flash, Usb link is lost and now when I turn on the PDA, I've just the screen above.
Now, the USB port don't work, when I connect the PDA on PC it don't see it. Maybe it is possible to restore it with SD card but how?
Thank you for your help an sorry for my bad english (french...)
Hello,
Nobody coud help me?
Or is that mean than my TYTN is definitely out?
Thanks.
get a storage card less than 2GB, format it and in your PC rename the Signed.nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh. Insert the storage card and put the device in bootloader mode it will start the flash from the sd card
Thanks a lot +QuePPC.
I 've execute your instructions, it better but after bootloader, I have wrote in blue on white screen 'loading', few seconds after 'checking' and finally '00028002' 'not allow'.
After that, the pda return on 4 colored blocs, on the upper (red) there is writting :
in white : HERM200 IPL-1.00
in yellow : HERM200 SPL-1.04
On the lower bloc (white) 'Serial'
When I reset the pda, I have these instructions at the bottom of the screen :
M 05
B 04 No GSM
B 05 D 3.22.0.0
Maybe this malfunction is due to a wrong rom but how identifie the right rom and where found it ?
Maybe it's due to the hardspl not installed but how install it wihout usb connection. ActiveSync don't connect the pda.
Thanks a lot for your help, have a good day.

i tried flashing the SD Card but it then says "Invalid Certificate"
i'm a total loss and totally stuck..

Have you really read this sticky thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721 before flashing ?
Have you used "search" function with f.e. "stuck in bootloader" before posting ?
If not, please do and you'll find very useful solutions
i have read the theads over and over again and finally worked out mtty and worked out my phone is
elf0300
tmob050
it's still in tri colour mode yet i cant find a rom for it...
i tried the nbh file flashing to the memory card
but no luck....
heelllp
Do you know if you have Elf or Elfin?
It is essential for flashing original Rom Elf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2
Elfin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045051&postcount=1
i haave an elf (p3450) well thats what it says on my box
i cant find the orginal rom for this and i'm totally stuck
any help is greatrully recived
also i have tried CID unlocking it so i can put custom roms on it but my computer wont active sync when the phone is connected through the USB port...
Also, what did you do to get your phone stuck in bootloader in the first place?
my brother did it to my phone before i'd even had chance to use it , and i don't know what he did.....sorry x
Try this and follow the instructions exactly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700 and report pls
i tried this yesterday at first when i pressed enter i didnt get >cmd (which is what happening now)
then when i do get it eventually after many tries it sasys
cmd55 or something failed
and stays on 0% on a gray screen
sorry if i sound stupiud.
Ok
First you connect your device, then right click on active sync icon on your computer, chose connection settings and change according to the instructions then continue with mtty.exe
i have done this
when i press enter i dont get anything come up....
yesterday i managed to get it up though and just stayed gray screen at 0%
Try again a few times making sure you didn't overlook any detail.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155 possibly mtty version doesn't work
2- Another possibility is unbricker rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242
3- gold card method (the links are dead so you should pm Dsixda)
Flash from the SD card:
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem, complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
1. Format microSD card from your computer.
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (the bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait.
Will try now and keep u updated
manny thanks x
Follow the instructions until you get cmd only, then return to the tutorial to continue
Good luck
Just an update
i downloaded the nbh file you sugested and tried both
1) flashing from the SD card by renaming file - when i do this is says checking sd contents then goes back to my bootlooder screen
2) running the romupdateutility.exe with the nbh file in the same folder it goes through then i get error 294 incorrect vender
i am unable to pm Dsixda about the gold card
i have no idea what else to try
ps: when running mtty i still get a gray screen then the bootloader screen.
Sorry to hear this, I'm out of ideas. Just some details not to miss:
try a hard reset
writing "ELF0IMG.nbh" (elf zero img and not elf o img)
google for mtty and download a few versions
Wait for an answer from Dsixda for gold card if you can't find your original rom
Creating your GoldCard
I don't remember well the procedure but you can try the following:
If you have access to a working pda or a working GPS device - PNA which is powered by WM (even modified) then you have to follow these steps:
Download this package and save it in your C:\ drive.
Run it.
(it will extract all the necessary files in C:\itsutilsbin (folder) and it will start the setup of Perl)
When the Perl - installation is finished run Perl Package Manager from Windows Start Menu.
Add repositories.
Name: itsme
Location: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm
Name: theoryx
Location: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.xml
(HowTo: run Preferences from the Perl Package Manager menu and switch to the repository tab)
After database synchronization install these packages:
Crypt-DES
XdaDevelopers-NbfUtils
(HowTo: at the main window of Perl Package manager find those packages, mark them for install (the icon with green plus, next to the search bar) and run marked action(green arrow icon))
Format the sd card(FAT32) and insert it in a working pda.
Connect the working pda to the pc , wait to sync and run psdread.bat from C:\itsutilsbin.
Find an official rom from here with a ModelID which matches your device's one
Example: If your pda is an Elfin and you have ModelID ELF030000 then get the below rom from that thread.
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship.exe (T-MOBILE)
Device: ELF030000
CID: T-MOB003
Version: 2.26.114.3
Language: NLD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card.
Fully charge your battery, insert the sd card to your pda, enter bootloader and flash from memory card
(Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume down button)).
If everything went ok then you can use a HardSPL or a USPL to CID Unlock your phone and update the rom with one of your choice.
If you don't have a working pda use a card reader - Ubuntu (even from a LiveCD) and QMAT are required
Regards!
i don't have a working pda to use :-( the only pda i have is my bricked one :-(

There is a way to use a card reader instead.
Using Ubuntu LiveCD and QMAT
ps:I wonder how did the wiki entry got erased?
Dsixda and all the members who worked on this had done a great job and it's really annoying that all their work was lost.
