"Pre-series" S200 flashing issues

Hello,
I work for a mobile phone distributor. As such, we often get from manufacturers "pre-series" handsets that we use to showcase to our customers.
Usually, these handsets are mostly if not fully identical to what will be on the market but the S200 I got hold off yesterday shows a weird OS version : S200_0.019a.00_EN
And it seems the flashing functionnalities have not been implemented on it or even restricted : when trying to flash an official Acer ROM, when pressing "Yes" the following message is displayed on the screen : "KernelIoControl fail ! Your device not support this function. Please check your OS version"
I also tried flashing custom ROMs but they all fail after reboot in FTM mode
I really think the bootloader is special on this unit but can't find any HardSpl or alternative bootloader that I could flash over =(
Thanks for your support

Seems like you have a pre-production unit, acer does not apply any kind of flashing encription to there phones, so you dont need any hard-spl,soft-spl etc, you should be able to flash your device, since hdubli first rom cooker for the acer s200 also had a pre-production unit, send me screenshot of the back of your device without the battery, il see what i can desiver off of it.

Hello,
Thanks your interest in my issue !
Here are a few pictures of the back of my device + bootscreen :

Hmmm this is intresting indeed....have you tryed flashing any of my roms?? what you have there is test bootloader, if do have a flashing security/or no flashing support is withing the bootloader, try flashing my rom as i have the oldest bootloader, let me know how it goes, im very interested in your device.
edit: turn off your device, and press and hold camera, and wile still pressing camera press the reset button, and tell me what it does

Hello,
Actually, I think my test bootloader had nothing to do with my issue but it was rather the flashing tools disliking my Windows 7 on bootcamp =(
Just borrowed a laptop with XP and could flash your latest ROM
Well, actually my phone won't reboot at all (all I get when pressing the power button is the blinking red light) but I guess I will find the solution in your main topic, won't I ?
Removed battery, put it back in, pressed camera and power button then pressed reset but nothing happens
EDIT : looks like I bricked it =( Can't reboot, no matter what I do all I get is that red blinking light
Reflashed, program says procedure is complete but still the same in the end

Well its not bricked just yet =], if you press camera and reset and the red light start blinking thats good, it means your device is in download mode(bootloader) so you can save it, but my guess is that your device doesn't have the flashing partition in its nand flash, you would need to flash a proper production CSV this will partition your device nand to production standarts, hence giving you the flashing partition, as this said you would need qualcomm's qpst something qualcomm engineers only have, so for now your device can only boot into bootloader.

Doesn't sound too good =(
I guess I'll never be able to add the flashing partition myself, will I ?
Edit : finding the QPST seems easy on RS, how about the proper production CSV ?
Thanks a lot for your time

This one should work, be aware the QPST is not flashing utility its an engineering tool, meaning you require certain knowledge to use it, if you fail to do so you will render your device completely and utterly useless, good luck.

Before trying QPST, just tried and flashed UFE Nuts rom : it works like a charm !!!

Strange hes using my rom as based so mine should have work as well.

Strange indeed ! And then i could flash your rom on.
Only thing is that it aparently lost the radio !

Oh... It's a pity you flashed it so quick We could have used the pre-production rom for various experiments (as I remember, none of the reviewers complained about 2d landscape issues or low headset volume ).

Sorry, no one told me it could be of any interest to you guys =(
By the way, would you know what I should do to flash Radio the radio only ?

If you use the old flasher (i.e. there're plenty of files in rom package - flash.bin/extrom.bin/amss/...), you can try to delete flash,extrom,dsp1 and to leave only amss file.

Will try that when I'm back home, thanks a lot !

I think I've flashed all the ROMs I could find on the forum but without much success : everything works perfectly except the phone =(
All I get is "Phone off" on the desktop and all that is related to phone doesn't work (placing calls, SIM toolkit, connections setting, etc...) just as if there were no SIM card in the handset. I get the "Phone is off, would you like to turn it on ?" message but it never gets to the PIN input screen.
I tried with several SIM cards that work perfectly well in my other phones with the same result
Any idea would be greatly appreciated =)
Thanks

You need to try different AMSS.MBN these are the Radio part for the acer s200, try flashing the one found in my flashing tools, if dosnt work download difrent Acer OEM roms, and try all the amss.mbn, one of these should work lol, good luck.

Tried to flash all the AMSS.MBN I found, including the one in your flashing tools but I'm still stuck =(
I'm about to throw the phone through the window =)

Hmm it seems that your pre-production device flashing partition is not as big as the normal acer s200 devices, my only guess is that your flashing partition is full thus not been able to flash the amss.mbn, my question is in the flashing process do you see amss.mbn been flashed?? or is it skipped?

Hello
No, the whole procedure goes fine, no error message of any kind and apparently nothing is skipped

I have the same problem, I have radio 2.10.50.26 but Im having some issues with WP7 restarting itself and no data connection, so I want to flash the 2.15 radio. I think I need be running WinMo to do this, but I have no idea how to flash back to a winmo rom from WP7. Help?

Simple,
Get to the tri color boot screen (vol down + power button)
Flash your win 6.5 ROM.

Hi, I am also trying to flash back to 6.5 from WM7. Could someone please give me some more details about how to flash back? I have the 6.5 rom on my PC and can get to the boot screen no problem but if I then try and install the old rom it fails as the PC doesn't detect the phone as being connected. Any help would be much appreciated, as although I love WM7 on my HD2 when it is working, it has a habit of randomly rebooting a lot! Thanks!

Just keep your phone unplugged and put it in bootloader mode. After a few seconds, the bottom part of the screen should say serial. Once it says that, plug it into your computer. Serial should change to USB in a second. If your computer doesnt have a driver for it yet, it should install that. Once its done, and once your phone says USB on the bottom of the bootloader screen, you should just be able to run the rom installer on your computer and install it. Good luck!

Thanks for you help, I managed that fine, though I had also wanted to remove the Hardspl I had used to add WM7. I have tried flashing the stock ROM back (via SD card and via USB) to overwrite it, however it fails to install correctly and the phone is being very unstable. Any suggestions!?

According to the thread I used to flash HSPL to my phone, you just make sure youre running a stock rom, then run the HSPL program like you did when you first put on HSPL, but choose 2.08.0000 in the selection screen.
That said, I havent removed HSPL so Im not entirely sure what to do if that doesnt work. If thats what you tried, Im not sure what to tell you

Have tried fiddling again and think I have done it! In the boot screen it now says SPL-2.08 (hopefully this is stock!?) and the phone seems to be behaving! Cheers for your assisstance

Yup, thats stock. No problem

You can changes Radio Roms as you wish under any OS. Just hold the Vol Down key when switching on to enter bootloader and flash via USB from there.

Hmmm I actually havent tried that yet, Ive done pretty much everything aside from reinstalling windows and stuff. I shut off my wireless during the process though because I turned off my antivirus and firewall. Hopefully that will work. WP7 is nice even without being activated, but it certainly doesnt come with many apps.

Help me please to fix my phone

My phone got a little liquid on it and after that it frozen so I did a soft reset and now my phone is freezing on android boot screen every time. The problem is what my MAGLDR is not working properly now too and my ClockworkMod Recovery is not working at all, so I don't know how to reinstall soft now. The MAGLDR is kind of flashing always and its hard to control as sometime its not reacting to my button push. And then I try to go into ClockworkMod Recovery its just starts loading, does that 1234 go and it freezes on it, every time. But besides all this stuff my phone looks like working fine, just looks like it just has some software damage. I think it should work with a new soft if not at least I can send it to my insurance as I will change a soft back to normal, because now my insurance will not fix my phone as it freezes on android boot screen so whey will see that I have android and not windows. Waiting for any good advice. Thank you
Btw. My original boot loader is not working too, I can't get in to it. I think its because of the android.

i suggest flash the stock rom first , then do all the work again flash MAGLDR and then recovery and then the android rom you want to use and read the instruction for your device if you using hd2 EU or hd2 T-Mobile ... good luck

That's what I waned to do, but last time when I tried to connect it my computer couldn't find my phone. That's why I'm asked for a help here. I will try to connect it later today, after I come back from my work and I will post it here, if its connects or not

So yes, like I said before I cannot connect my phone using MAGLDR. USB Mass storage is working fine, when using USB Flasher my computer detects my phone but when I try upgrade a soft, I get connection error, it cannot find my phone. I don't know any other ways to connect my phone as I cannot get into boot loader Any help???

You may be able to flash a stock ROM from the SD card but I think it involves the bootloader. Have a look at This thread and see if it helps (I CBA to read it properly, sorry )

Thanks, but yes it involves the bootloader

Does Bootloader normally work if MAGLDR & ClockworkMod Recovery is installed on device?

yea man its working fine in my phone .... okay how about if you get your phone and connect it to another pc ... maybe the wrong with your pc ... and run the usb flasher and flash the stock rom bro

Yeah that's a good point. If you can, trying PCs with different versions of Windows could help (i.e. XP, Vista, Windows 7 etc.)

Ok so I managed to connect my phone via USB Flasher on my work computer and I installed "[30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM" without any problems but my phone still stucks on DFT Boot screen. I also tried to reinstall MAGLDR and ClockworkMod Recovery to get Clockwork Recovery work but it didn't work, it didn't change anything. Does any one have any ideas what can I do next? Is it possible to install wm 6.5 via USB Flasher? As I know it needs bootloader Does any one have more ideas how to fix it?

yea bro install the stock rom as wm6.5 using the usb flasher ... get it back to the stock then re-install any rom you want

I can't! Because wm 6.5 requires connection between bootloader or active sinc, there is not other way when instaling wm 6.5, and none of them work now on my device

Hi,
"Smart Mobility" screen
I had that problem too, and did a hard-reset.
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down buttons (hold hard) and press Power switch until you see the warning sign to confirm a hard reset.
The system will do a re-flash of the original Windows Mobile ROM.
Start Android by running HaRET from Windows Mobile
Yes, you have to run HaRET.
You can make it simpler by making a short-cut in Windows Mobile Start Menu.
Tap and hold on HaRET until you see the Dialog Box to Cut, Copy, etc.
Tap Copy.
Go to Device-Windows-StartMenu, paste as a shortcut
These steps are in the Touch HD Manual. If you do not have one, download it from the HTC website.

GBX0C2.3.7 Build is on SD card.
You will need to boot from Windows Mobile first, then run HaRET to reboot to XDAndroid.
If XDAndroid hangs, you need to remove battery, put back battery and power on. Then you see Windows Mobile and do above step again.
Always, from XDAndroid to go back to Windows, you need to Power Off, and then Power On again.

You say you are flashing the original ROM. You mean the original HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM? I understand you can only get this done only from HTC authorized centers.

plug the usb cable to the computer/laptop

else extract the RUU_signed.nbh or any file with .nbh extension from the shipped file with zip viewers like 7-zip

Hi there! I think that you can't reflash even a Original ROM without unlock the phone with new Hard-SPL from Olinex ,considering that you have tried a Hard Reset and nothing happened ,your last option is to unlock the phone and reflash the ship ROM ,or to flash a custom ROM ( is not a good solution if you still have warranty,but still you cand revert your stock SPL:good so ,you have nothing else to lose , all is left for you is to try what i said before . If you don't know how to do it,let me know and i will post the exact links to instructions.

Hi all,
You can try a NAND ROM like the new release of Fagyi. There is an easy step by step manual to installation. You will lose winmo, but you will have a real android.
It looks pretty and he has solved many of the issues of previous versions.
Regards

[Q] flash type 0 power reason 1 bootup_w_pwr_key_pressed

"flash type 0 power reason 1 bootup_w_pwr_key_pressed"
That's the only thing written on my htc hd mini screen now.
After rebooting in "4-colored-screen mode" and flashing original rom (DAN) up to 100% device reboots and same thing happens, but with a little change - "flash type 0 power reason 6 bootup_w_warm_reset". Last flashed working rom was android "sense", it started "freezing", after soft-reseting the device i saw this grey screen. Already tried flashing different roms, taking the battery out for a long period, booting with vol+\vol- buttons pressed. Task29 freezes at 0%. Nothing helped.
Any advice anybody?
PS: sorry for my cr*ppy English, hope everything written above is available for understanding.

Please some pictures or more informations about ROMs you used,

at first, it was RUU_Photon_HTC_DAN_1.36.403.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe (original unmodified ROM, downloaded from shipped-roms)
then i switched to Gabanna's 21686, but it had some issues with gps in my case, so i went back to RUU_Photon_HTC_DAN_1.36.403.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe and decided to switch to Android - HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 with Beats Audio. It worked fine for 2 days, even gps came back from dead.
Thank you, hope this will help solving my case.

I haven't got a camera to take pictures, and my problem kills the ability to take screenshots.
Once again:
-grey screen
-red text "flash type 0 power reason 1"
-blue text "bootup_w_pwr_key_pressed"
That's all.

it's first time I hear this, I think... maybe try with another battery or plug USB to Computer on it?

it doesn't seem that you have tried android ROMs? right?

I've searched for another battery in local stores - no success. The price of new, brought from ebay etc. would be equal to price of used HD Mini, and i don't want to waste money on buying some low-class-chinese-piece-of-cr%p battery, politely called "replica".
Could you, please, rephrase that "plug-usb-to-computer-on-it", because i can't understand what you mean.
Wrong, last working ROM (before the problem started) was HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 (flashed to NAND)

So you have tried Android Installing ?
"plug-usb-to-computer-on-it" Cable your HTC HD Mini Cable, connect to PC>Cable<HTC HD Mini. then try install CWM Recovery.
dear 2bigfella, I'm still not sure whatever you where just in WM6.5 or you had android after all that, what I understood now is your CWM hasn't been installed correctly. Pictures of your phone will help me to know the problem... don't you have at least a camera or bring your friends to take some pictures on it

aaaaaand again (3rd time): last rom working on my phone was (before the problem started) HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 (flashed to NAND)
googled cwm recovery - 1. htc hd mini isn't supported and 2.MY PHONE ISN'T WORKING! I can't install apps on it because the only two things i can see on it is a)grey screen, described above and b)bootloader (4-colored-screen mode)

Okay now it's better to know... (don't google for cwm, it's here already)
restart device, when you see HTC Bootscreen.. press and hold down Volume - down, until you're entered fastboot mode, be sure that your cable is connected to PC<>Photon, and begin install CWM from here (go to dev section xda photon)
