BA - SX66 Variant won't load - stuck in Splash or Bootloader

Got a little problem, maybe big =(
Basically the phone one day decided not to work
i can get only two screens
either the start-up splash screen displaying CINGLAR and the firmware stuff on the bottom corner
or
if i enter bootloader mode, i get SERIAL 2.07 and nothing else
i have tried hard reset, take out the battery for ever, even flash
hard reset does nothing, soft does nothing
take out the battery does nothing
the phone won't charge through the cradle or charger, i can only charge the battery alone using the cradle
as for flashing it won't flash in the cingular splash screen or the bootloader screen, it doesn't change from SERIAL to USB when connected, thus the computer can't send anything to it
what can i do ?????

Do you have an SDIO card in the top slot? That can cause problems with the bootloader accepting the image from the PC.

nope only have the original DEMO SD plastic

any one what could be wrong ?

had same problem
dont know if you are doing the wm5.0 hard reset or teh old style hard reset that we used to on wm2003se. its teh notes button, camera, power and soft reset button. clear registry and the storage and then it should work. it did for me.

tried your reset steps boots the bootloader =(

If you got bootloader mode then you should be able to upgrade your rom to whatever you like.
Step by step insturctions are on WIKKI. The page for upgrading to the most recent ROM for the Blue Angel that IS NOT WM2005 is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
If your device is in bootloader mode just put it in the cradle (activsync won't start but don't worry about that) and start the upgrade!

When you get to the Bootloader screen, probably you are home free. Just use the abouve link to resolve you problem.

O2 XDA Exec Dead after interrupted Rom Upgrade :-(

Hi,
I was upgrading my XDA Exec using Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe
My laptop died. It sometimes overheats but it hadn't happened in a while.
I now can't progress past the bootloader even after full clean reset.
Anyway. I have the O2 screen reading:
R 1.04.01
G 42.37.P8
D 1.13.82 WWE
My laptop detects a USB connection, although it says "USB Device Not Recognised". Activesync 4.1 won't detect it, however, I've tried changing settings etc but to no avail.
I've trawled the board here and found people recovering from similar situations with other devices. Am I gonna be able to restore my beloved exec from paperweight-status?
btw: am in Ireland where O2 don't support the exec and bought it from a guy in the UK who got it as an unwanted upgrade. have flashed it before just fine...but don't think I'll be able to return it to O2 as UK and IRL are not the same company...
Help?
Mark
p.s. ran BL10_RUU_UNI_V11.exe and got 101 connection error :-(
EDIT:
Fixed, using bootloader mode and re-running the upgrade. thanks

xda neo crash
You need to reinstall your windows mobile 5 system. If you are using orginal german neo rom, you can download rom from o2 web site, or you can download from this sites ftp server

thanks for the feedback,
I found the info on restarting in bootloader mode (i had previously misunderstood "bootloader") and was able to re-flash it by USB no probs.
I now have a happy XDA

Hello there ...I have about the same problem with my MDA Vario....could you explain how do I "restart in bootloader mode"?
My PPC just stucks before loading windows...
thanks

How to get bootloader mode
Ok, did a bit of a lookaround and got this (I thinkg the MDA Vario is the XDA Mini)
For Xda II and Xda IIi
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the D pad (5 way directional button)
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda IIs
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the Camera button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda Exec
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the Backlight button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda Mini S
- Press & hold the voice command button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole (short quick press). Keep hold of the voice command button until you see the screen with multicolored horizontal stripes). The device is now in Bootloader mode and you can follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
EDIT:
The rest of the process (just in case you need to know) is as follows:
(and if you have problems open your connection settings in activesync and ensure that USB is unchecked...that is OFF. remember to reset the USB settings once you've successfully upgraded)
in 'Bootloader' mode
When this happens the device screen will be blank except for the words;
Serial
v 1.00a
The word 'Serial' should change to 'USB' when the cradle is plugged into the PC, and the version number below this will vary. When you get this screen, a soft or hard reset will not make any difference.
It is still possible to run the ROM upgrade file again, WITHOUT using Activesync (activesync will not restart anyway).
Firstly unplug the USB cradle and reboot the PC
Plug the cradle back into the USB port (this must plug directly into the USB port and not into a USB Hub/adaptor).
Now run the ROM upgrade file again from the PC. This should just run as per normal and correctly reflash the device.

Thanks bob_jesus!!
I am already in bootloader mode....Could you tell me where I can find the files to flash it? My device is Tmobile MDA Vario. Are there different files for flashing for every device? (O2 XDA mini s, MDA Vario, imate kjam...)??
Thanks again

Hi Ermoscow,
I'm sure if you trawl around the boards a bit you'll find it. I'm pretty new to this but yes, all these devices tend to have a different Rom, and each device itself tends to have a different Rom based on your mobile carrier.
e.g. I use an XDA exec which is the same as an HTC universal, they could theoretically use the same Rom but not the same rom as an XDA mini.
Again, this is all in my understanding and keeping it simple.
another idea would be to check the t-mobile site and download your rom directly from them, it should be available. if i find anything for you i'll post back.

Thank you everybody!
After managing to get to the bootloader mode I made a rom update which solved the problem!
Now it works great again!
thanks

Botloader Mode
I have a bricked MDA as I had a power outage while flashing the ROM. Can someone tell me how to recover. I find references to folks entering bootloader mode and then recovering, but I cannot find a post that tells me how to do it. Can anyone help? [email protected]
I'm desperate!
Regards,
Bob

Hi, which MDA is it because the instructions should be included in my post up above. You just need to find which XDA your device corresponds to and go from there. All that info's in this forum somewhere for sure.
Best of luck!

Your SPL boot loader sounds like it is gone, formatted...
You may be able to patch it, using scripts & mtty if you can get into DL mode. Sounds like you're stuck in OEMSBL though.

help me !!!!
i have try pressing flat and ok botton to format . but nothing appear on the screen . is the other way to format or upgrade rom .

• The device doesn't boot, I see only O2 logo. Hard reset doesn't help and the Firmware update process stops with the first message?
1. turn off the device;
2. enter engineering mode;
3. in Main menu choose Boot Config;
4. in Configuration menu choose EBOOT-Launch Image;
5. turn off the device;
6. now hard reset or upgrade firmware.
Sometimes helps another method: leave the device without the battery for about 30 minutes, then turn your O2 XDA Stealth on.

It worked for me
Goto to your PDA setting and uncheck USB to PC.
Note: Check task before connecting to USB ensure no task including Active Sync.
FYI.
Im using VISTA Ultimate to update my XDA.
From WB 6.1 back to WM5. WM 6.1 too buggy and battery drained fast.
Cheers!

Bootloader Mode on XDA Stealth

Dear All,
I'm stuck at align screen on this XDA Stealth, and guess I need help from you people.
How can I enter Bootloader Mode on XDA Stealth? ( I can enter engineering mode, but can't see any option to enter Bootloader i.e. tri-color screen).
I'm unable to upgrade ROM on this device because of the following reasons.
1. I upgraded WM6.1, and found that Active Sync won't work unless patched.
2. The display's touch screen is defective so after up ROM Upgrade, I'm stuck at align screen, further, the phone is not getting detected in windows as there is this patch required for the ROM.
3. I don't have miniSD reader and also I don't think the car works properly.
So, is there any way to enter the bootloader mode and get the device detected under windows so that I can upgrade again?

xda stealth - Q.? = remove battery and the model is htc??????????????

engineer mode ???
6.14wm - O2 pre-pay

Hi,
This ain't HTC, it specifically says Model : XDA Stealth. Guess the Manufacturer is Gigabyte. Although, Gigabyte is not mentioned anywhere on the back.
Engineering Mode is accessed by pressing Power + Camera + Flag keys while boot up. The Screen Displays GIGABYTE Communications P.O.S.T. and in Main Menu, there are various tests and configurations.
What I'm looking for is a way to upgrade the rom by getting the phone detected in Windows. Is there any way to get bootloader mode on this phone?
Thnx
Sonny
