First, I would like to thank everyone on this forum for valuable information. I have been able to flash a Blue Angel and more recently a Universal (SPV M5000) with a Jasjar, O2 and Qtek ROM.
I have researched the forum but have not found any answer close to my problem.
After the lastest update (O2 Exec just released), I did not reset the unit properly and now my screen is completely dead/blank. I tried to reflash but it is no longer recognized (will not power back up)
No possibility in putting in Boot loader mode (power+light+reset) or doing a hard reset (the 2 _ and reset).
has anyone experienced this and can I revive it, at least, bring it back to a boot loader so I can reflash? Thank you to all :roll:
Just a thought. Have you tried leaving out the battery pack for a while, say an hour or better overnight? Might be worth trying the hard-reset sequence with the battery still out, then insert the battery and hard-reset again. If it responds, try flashing again.
It is possible to get the Universal in a totally confused state. Mine does this everytime if I power down the workstation *without* first disconnecting the Exec from the USB-Sync cable. Fortunately, it will respond after a battery out plus reset, then battery in plus soft-reset, so I don't actually have to clear the memory.
Hope you dig yourself out of the brown stuff!
i am trying this at the moment as I do not know what else to do. I will put the battery back tomorrow in hope it will restart again.
Thank you for the advice

Unfortunately, I cannot flash because it will not power up or start the boot loader. The pc does not recognize the device

That worked for my when I was flashing my JAM, no problems. Scary, but successful. Think I may have left it a couple of days, to be sure. I then reflashed it successfully.
Although I refused to flash my Exec - too damned expensive to replace, and the ROM is 95% as good as it needs to be.

yeah i tired hard reset too, but it still doesnt work.....
take the battery off and leave of for about an hour or so, so the back up battery completely runs dry... then try again.
i also tried this too. I left the battery out for 1 day, so battery and back up battery would run out dry. But it didnt work either. Neway other ideas guys ?????
at this point in time i say you opt for the warranty

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 above link to resolve you problem.
If it doesn't work, let me know as I need some parts for mine and may be interested in buying yours for the parts.
I was attempting to upgrade the rom image (to an O2 rom for an O2 device), when the device powered itself off. It hadn't written anything, it just got to the splash screen where it said checking device.
My PC never shut down, just my Exec. I thought it was one of the various power offs that the devices do during rom flashing.
I can do a hard reset, and I get the screen that says press zero or x, but after that I never get anything. even if I plug the device in, I don't even get a charging light.
can anyone help me with where I should begin troubleshooting????
well, I just tried re-updating it, just to see what woudl happen, even though there is no display. I used the WM6 I found, and it made it through the radio stack (screen is now dark, no back lit, but can see X% upgrade completed), so it looks liek its working, just needs to finish the rom. I hope, lol!
well, it made it all the way through the rom update, and asked for a cold boot, but the screen just stays dark, even after the hard reset.
Any ideas anyone???
okay, problem solved! I was able to get the device into bootloader mode, and then ran a flash for WM6.

I tried to upgrade the ROM n my trinity without putting the device in the SPL. The device went dead completely and I could not start it on. I tried to soft reset, hard reset, and tried to get the SPL but nothing is working. When I tried to upgrade it gives message 260 “no connection”. Could anybody tell me how to revive my trinity or get it working again?
Been there a few times myself.
Do you live in the US? If so, I could call you and walk you through it, or MSN chat, or??? or if you'd rather, let me know and I will try to walk you through it in here.
I am in Europe, time difference is large, appreciate if you give step by step instructions in this forum. Thanks again.

I apologize jma81113. I was unexpectedly called out of town. My nephew crashed his motorcycle and is in the hospital, so I rushed over there. I'm back now.
Any time I cannot flash another rom, I am forced to flash back to an OEM rom, in my case, I use the one found here: http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe
This flashes back the original SPL, Radio, OS, etc... It works best if you can do it from a Windows XP computer. If you don't have that option, there are ways to do it using Vista outlined here.
Then I always flash the Hard SPL found here. In my case, I use Des' Crash Proof. I've had the most success flashing Cooked ROMS with this one.
From there, Flashing Cooked ROMS should work just fine. If you run into trouble, you might have to flash back to the OEM ROM again. Occasionally, I have to. I keep a copy on hand at all times.
Oops! Actually, as I read back through your message, I see that you might be getting just a BLACK screen? Is this correct? And I assume by you saying you tried to get the SPL that you mean you pushed the 'power' 'camera' and 'reset' buttons and nothing? If that's the case, let me know and I'll do some more research.
Just so I know, do you get the orange LED lighting up when you plug in the USB cable showing it's charging?
SuperSport
I am sorry to hear about your nephew accident, I hope he is well and wish him well.
Yes I got a BLACK screen when I press the 'power' 'camera' and 'reset' buttons. The device is completely dead.
When i connect the device to the laptop, red LED lights up for 10 seconds and then disappears, I even changed the battery but no sucess.
Hard Reset?
Oops! Sorry, just re-read your first post. Looks like you tried this already...
The Black Screen is new to me, so I'm shooting in the dark.
You many have already done this, but, have you tried a HARD reset? Press the 'Calendar' 'Contacts' and then 'Reset' buttons all together. Hopefully this will bring up a screen that asks if you want to do a reset. Press the Green Send key and it will reset. Let me know if that works or not...
Buttons shown in attached image:
I have done it already no luck, it seems I am going to send it to the dealer in Malaysia. Thanks any way Supersport for your time and effort. Once again hope your nephew is will.
I flashed my phone a couple of weeks ago with Schaps 4.31 Rom. It has been working a treat ! This is the first time I flashed a phone and I followed MR.Vanx instructions.
All was working fine untill yesterday. I had my 3rd freeze of the day. Oh well I thought, thats 3 in 2 weeks never mind must just be having a bad day.
It got worse. I soft reset my phone and now all I get is the Olipro bootloader 3 colour screen ! So I took the battery out and left it for 2 hrs. Still the same.
Whats wrong with it ?
Does this happen like that ?
Can I recover or do I need to flash again or is this permanent ?
HELP HELP HELP
Anyone know ? Phoen still not working. Can someone help ?

<Sarcasm mode> Thanks. Like I never thought to look there. </Sarcasm mode>
I was more interested in the other questions I asked ... IE is this normal after 2 weeks operation ? etc
no, shouldnt happen like that. try putting the .nbh file on a sd card after formatting fat 32. rename to hermimg.nbh then put in phone. if you're in bootloader it should automatically start the flash. this should get you out of bootloader and back into windows. make sur ebattery is more than 50% by putting on to charge for awhile first. hope this helps. Cheers.
Thanks for the response.
I think I can do it via USB as usual I am just waiting for the phone to charge a bit first. Obviously with no OS I have no idea how much battery % it has !! DOH !
Oh well I will post back for those interested once I know if it is goign to work or not !
Previously been stuck on bootloader before, and I just flashed a different ROM via USB. This worked fine for me. Would also try what ultramag69 said previously
Suggested sd as this has become my favourite way of flashing. No chance of NASTY accidents like computer resets, someone unplugging usb or other little things t5hat seem to happen to people as they flash there precious hermes. Sorry if this sounds like a hard sell but I really believe this is the safest way to flash your device. I've even flashed below 50%... Plugged in power. Was in a rush and had no time. Its never failed while I have had bricks and glitches with the usb. And thats my two cents......
Well it just gets stranger, I waited untill the phone was fully charged. It was plugged in to PC via usb swtiched off so I could see the charge light go green. When I switched the phone on with USB connected to go to bootloader screen to reflash, it booted windows !
Its now working fine ! I did nothing except charge it.
How very dare it !
Suggest you check the device for bad blocks.
Put the device into bootloader, start mtty.exe
connect to USB and run the command "Info 8".....this will report if the device has bad blocks (three should turn up even on a normal device).
then run "task 2a" to fix any bad blocks that are evident.
It might be worth flashing a new ROM to it to overwrite any corrupted sectors, just as a precautionary measure?
Have you tried hard resetting the device by holding the 2 left and right buttons (below the screen) and then reseting with the stylus?
This will then ask if you want to reset to factory..or if you have a cooked ROM reset back to the cooked ROM?
Helped me out and then promptly re-ROM'd the thing...
Hope this helps.....

Ok had a problem today JASJAM seemed to loose phone reception has done this before , since I had the offical Telstra ROM on there for some time thought I would re-install , however stopped at 12% then was stuck on bootloader, tried the SD card method above get through the IPL , BOOTLOADER SPLASH 1&2 and EXTROM but seems to stay on GSM in the list any ideas as to what the problem maybe?
You need to loas SPL 1.01 MFG, then connect using MTTY.EXE.
after issueing:
USB>task 32 (you will get)
Level = 0 (now issue)
USB>set 14 0
USB>task 8
p.s. if you have other than SPL 1.01 MFG, you may need to use set 16 0 or other value. Do search.
Now the device should boot, if it does not:
Press the soft keys (the ones below CONTACTS and CALENDAR) together with the RESET. The device should go through installing windows procedure.
Good luck.
Simple.
I installed Nataly Rom on my phone and since that time, my phone start to hard reset more and more often (3 times today)
Now I don't think that this has anything to do with the rom, but more with my phone.
Now, If I turn on my phone, I just get my red vodafone screen and nothing else happens.
I tried a hard reset, even with a complete format, wich now puts my phone completly bank, but still it won't pass my red vodafone screen.
Does anyone have suggestions of how to boot it up again?
please help

try putting your phone into the bootloader screen and reflash with another rom.
I have a friend that had this problem with his phone. In his case there was a problem with the pagepool, installing a different rom as cobbs stated was the solution for him as well.

some of us have had this problem already - my advice- use tbe search function 'cmd task 29' is the answer
Hi Gort
Thanks for the wonderfull advise.
I already thought my phone was a gonner, but now I can work with it again.
For all the people who experience a phone that keeps hard resetting more often and eventually cant boot at all, here's what to do.
Procedure:
1. bring the device to bootloader.
2. Launch ActiveSync on PC
3. Go to connection settings
4. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection
5. Now, run mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC.
6. If you have run mtty1_1_.42_538, just press the button USB
7. Type CMD
8. Type task 29 and let the program do his work a bit.
9. after that, flash with the rom of your choice
here is the link to mtty1_1_.42_538
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490182&page=4
Thanks for all the help guys, most appreciated
and hopefully this thread will help others now as well
edit: Link updated, should work fine now
