DOPOD 900 dead after upgrade

My DOPD - bought in China was running a chinese version of WM5.0 and I wanted to install a english version.
After upgrading my DOPOD 900 with the upgrade : Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip I have problem.
It is really DEAD. soft reset does nothing and a hard reset only gives the option of "0" and "X" which do nothing.
the USB is no longer recognised and nothing seems to want to communicate with the Dopod. It seems the USB loader program is no longer running on the Dopod.
Has anybody any idea how I can attach to the device an install a new bootloader, or something.

I had the same issue and I have a solution. But, let me tell you my process that got me where you are.
I tried performing the update using the No_ID (or whatever) method and kept getting errors. I rebooted my PC and changed the Operator ID using the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.
After this, I was able to use the typical installer. The flash went fine and I hard reset as instructed. From that point on, I had your exact problem.
A dead screen. I was able to redo the hard reset after pulling the battery but I would just end up with the dead (blank) screen again. ONCE, I did get it into boot loader mode where I could actually read the screen. But, of course I reset and again had a dead screen.
My solution was to revert back to a true O2 ROM. Even though I couldn't see the screen (still can't), the ROM update is proceeding as I type this. I'm at 44% of the radio ROM installed.
Hope this gives you hope!

Well, good news. I just finished the ROM update and I'm looking at the O2 boot image.
Is there any indication that the QTek ROM looks for the Carrier info to be QTek or it will fail once installed? Just wondering why I had this problem.

ARG! Reflashing with QTek ROM did the same thing. :evil:
Blank screen and all.

check 2 things
uncheck usb from active sync
hardreset after upgrade has been completed
just do the upgrade again and it should come alive again

Thanks and another question
Well thanks for the hope. but I have tried this already with no luck, however after this message I will try again. My biggest problem is that I cant regain communication over the usb.
I would like to know how your system behaved when you plugged in your apparantely dead device. My system just says device un recognised and I cant begin a download with or without active sync.
So I cant get another rom image to download.

Nick

This was the first thing I did.
The problem is that I cannot get any communication over the USB.
The device is unrecognised on USB and after starting any ROM download it just timesout after "checking information from device" message .
Ever seen a dead USB interface like this ?
The USB PnP mgr sees the hardware but cannot establish the device type !!

@mobinick: You and I have the same situation.
I have 2 Universal dead like this. 1 Exec and 1 Jasjar.
Both dead, blank screen, can not enter bootloader, can not connect with PC. PC can not recognize the driver usb of the device.
I opened the phone and found that logically everything is so so. There is no clue about hardware.
So I think: the address of the bootloader with device ID maybe unlucky damaged.
Who can fix this problem pls share us some experience.
Thanksss

Why don't you guys take it to your respective service centres and get it fixed?
Even if you have to pay something, it will certainly be better than these bricks occupying table space.

Have you tried going back to an original O2 ROM? I went to 1.13.139 WWE and all is fine now.

Just to share my experience with you guys here:
I posted my problem way back during the Radio Upgrade from 1.04 to 1.06. My Dopod 900 got stuck on the splashscreen. I couldn't get my device to pass the splashscreen even after upgrading/downgrading the radio ROM back and forth two times.
Finally, I just forced my device into bootloader mode (Backlight+Reset+Power). Even after doing this, the dopod screen was completely blank (no indication of serial/usb letter on the screen). I downloaded the official O2 exec ROM and plug my device (in bootloader mode) back to the USB port. It said unrecognized port on my PC. Despite that, I reflashed my Dopod back with the NoID tool the complete O2 ROM (Radio, Main ROM & The extended). Once completed, my device regained its consciousness.
I managed to flashed back the 1.06 radio after that. And has since been upgraded 4 times (two i-mate, one Orange and the latest QTek ROM) with no problem whatsoever.

I had the exact same problem as you to guys, i tried to update it, and it wouldn't budge...
It constantly, without fail timed out... I tried everything...
As my hope started to wain, i gave it one last shot...
I took out everything, sim and sd and battery, then connect the battery back and from the bootloader menu, connected it to the pc, with usb cable...
Finally it worked!! Like normal, i was able to load any and all rom and radio updates...
Wouldn't work, from the normal working screen (which was working for a while, i later tested this out, and found out ) and also wouldn't work, from the bootloader (power+backlight+reset) with sim+flash in there....
Hope you guys have some luck.. I htink you should, because i was in the exact same boots as you guys...

It worked for me
My O2 Exec did exactly the same thing, and I spent (on and off) 24 hours trying to get the damn thing to go again - wouldnt charge either....
I too finally took out everything, SIM and sd and battery, then connect the battery back and from the bootloader menu (which I only found about from this site), connected it to the pc, with usb cable...
It worked as well - bloody brilliant. I now have the latest 02Exec Upgrade (Version 1.30.162 AKU2 Release) and all is great.
Cant believe that 2 days after logging email with O2 site, they have not responded...
Would almost kiss you guys.....

Solution for getting stuck in bootloader

Unable to boot up after upgrade ROM to WM6

I follow instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313486 but after hardreset.
My p800w is stuck in T-Mobile logo and version number. It can't continue booting up to windows mobile.
Question: How to flash ROM without ActiveSync?
How to recovery my Artemis?
Welcome any advice,
Thanks in advance.

Yea me to, mine is now a brick after that upgrade? No active sync connection possible and all I get now is the blue O2 start screen after the hard reset with the red writing and numbers in the top left hand corner..
Phone is an UK XDA Orbit
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
HELP!!!!!!!

yeah, I had the same problem and have created a thread for it already. unfortunately I got no useful replies, and it seems that I am stuck waiting for an official o2 ROM so that I can recover my Orbit.

It seems there is a way to un brick our phones I just need to get my phone bootted into bootlader mode which no one seems to say how to do??
Can anyone help how I can boot my Orbit , like what combo of keys I need to press to boot it into bootloader mode then XP will see it at a driver level apparently Active Sync still won;t but I will be able to run some German ROM update with the ROM file replaced with the other ones and it may come back to life..
Help how can I boot my phoen in bootloader mode???

Correct and use mtty
Already see in the forum ....

Thanks guys and apologies for the spelling..I ran the Artemis_USPL before I tried upgrading to WM6 and again have been able to run it after with my new brick now with the phone in bootloader mode but still when I try and run the german ROM update a) it will only work with the german file which freezes @ 3%? This seems to be a known problem reading around and b )when I replace it with the smaller ROM file, 54MB the german one is 66MB, I originally tried to use it doesn't read the ROM file or the update utility doesn't want to read it. I reckon I might be able to get it back if I can get one of the ROM update utilities to read a good ROm file and send it to the phone.
I can;t find this MTTY program to sniff the USB port and return the code of if the USPL util wokred as I think that could be key to all of this.
Can anyone post a quick how to here for
1) install MTTY from somewhere
2) what command to run agaist the phoen to see if the USPL util worked and what values I should be looking for
3) another WM6 ROM version (that the update utils can read) download location I can download from to try and send to the phone using the German update util
Not asking for much am I but I desperately need my phone back WM5 or 6 in the next day or so so really can't send it off.
Thanks

Error message I recive at the 3% stage when using the German ROM and english update util.

use the file attach and read that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285112

Thanks but I'm not that cleud up on what commands I'm meant to be sending. It works in Bootloader mode I ge a response from the phone by send it a command. But even if I get a response telling me what the CID status is its not much help as I think ti shoudl have tekane BEBEs ROM by now as I've got the german ROMUpdateUtility sending that 54,272KB file to the phone but it stops after 3%. What are my options?

That's right. On older models MTTY was quite useful, but not on the Artemis. You cannot use it to read the CID status anyway. If you are not sure about the status, run the USPL tool, just to make sure.

I've already re run the USPL ROMUpdateUtility and it completes 100% okay in bootloader mode. But after I hard reset and then try and flash the WM6 BEBE ROM or any ROM German etc back onto it it either fails with the error code I posted up earlier or gets to 3% and fails.
What are my options at this stage? Does anyone have a link to another ROM I can try like the original WM5 O2 ROM or any other WM6 ROm that might work. I'm willing to give them all a try as it's just a useless phone right now and I haven;t sent it off as 1) I need it before the weekend and 2) As I can flash some ROMs with the USPL and others have done this no problem I really feel there must be a solution as I can still falsh the phone.

What can I say RTFM... I did it all right and I didn't have a brick, I missed out one small detail... loading on the ROM with the extended ROM. All now running and it does seem a little faster than WM5.
Thank you to all those that tried to help out. To the others that are still having probs.. Don't try and run the update in the middle of a busy day in the office whilst trying to manage 100 other things meaning you are probably missing out a line like me...
One question though how do I get back my O2 power and storage meters on the today screen back as I liked them and the WiFi seems to have a bug where when it is enabled and you click on the WiFi symbol up the top it only allows you to switch it on, when it is already on.. so you have to open up the COMM manager to switch it off.

So how did you fix it exactly? I have read this thread thoroughly and can't find out what you did!

ERROR[206] occurs while trying to update ROM to WM6
While tring to update ROM to WM6 on O2 XDA Orbit i encounter ERROR[206].
I wanted to attach the screen shot but dont know how to do that, but anyway what i am doing is i attached my pda to my pc via activesync using supplied usb cord. Everything goes well till i reach a screen where it says "You are now ready to update your ROM image...." and once i click next a progress bar apperas and my pda shuts and activesync exit's automatically and my pda tries to restart with RBG band and some text:RUU, IPL 1.25.0001, SPL 1.25.0000 and USB. And thats it after few seconds or a min i get the ERROR[206] and my pda hangs.
I dont know why Activesysn shutsdown ???
Just an additional in i want to tell that without installing activesync i am not able to connect/pair my pda with my pc. So do i need to install the drivers and then try or it doen't matter cause once i install Active sync i can connect the device.
Please help me with this....
Thanks

I have HTC3300, tried to update rom, now its bricked. I tried to start bootloader by pressing the voicebutton and softreset but loads in t-mobile screen and hangs, im unable to start the bootloader.
Is this end of story or are there any other options to get the bootloader to start????

Bootloader
I had a problem with my phone loaded touch flow 4 and cid unlocking, everything was fine then after a while it froze at boot up.
I look put the battery and did a hard reset, put it into bootloadeder mode, reflashed with a t-mobile rom does not need to be cid unlocked to do that.
Once origonal rom was working, cid unlock again, flashed back to touchflow 4.0 - sorted

Where did you got an tmobile rom from can you tell me. Mine is also freezing on booting almost once every day or so after I've upgraded to 4.0

Need Help!

I switched on my phone today, and it loaded the o2 screen, and now is permanently stuck on the Black and Blue screen.
I using Tom's B&B 4.0 touch-flo rom.
Please help!

try a hard reset, something similar happened to me when i was using a different rom and a hard reset fixed it, hope that helps.

Hard reset is when you push call and end buttons together and insert the stylus?
Didnt work either.

hmm.. maybe reinstall the rom then? Did you install any programs on the phone??

It's not detecting the fone, hence I cant even reinstall the ROM.

Is there any way 2 recover from this? Or did I just loose 700 bucks!?

Even problem whereas I had any concern with this version v4.0…
I flashé my artemis 4 or 5 times, it went super… (I would have of the Juste to make hardware reset…).
Since my 2 last flash, that blocks on the page during more 5min…
Flash after flash, always similar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1445305&posted=1#post1445305

So wait, were you able to fix it?
As of right now my fone is sitting like a brick on my table.

Me I wait, of the blow I do not make more software reset…
I am obliged to await more 5min before being able to type my code PIN.
I do not include/understand, that had ever done it to me before this last flash.
I have remakes a flash, always similar, even while passing by a ROM Orange, as soon as I pass by again in V4.0, that does it to me!!!!

Its been over 5 mins for me and its still stuck on the B&B screen. HELP!

Make a hard reset and change the ROM....v3.7 for exemple...

Yea, I tried reflashing it, but the Rom update utility doesnt detect the fone at all.

Look this :
http://www.forummobiles.com/index.php?showtopic=139079
It's a french but it's easy with photo !

I read it, but because it never passes the boot screen, it never detects it hence it doesnt show up in the device manager.
What 2 do!?

Try hard reset again. What did you mean when you said it doesn't work? It didn't do anything? It tried re-installing and failed? What happened?
You don't need the ROM update utility to do a hard reset.

B&B 4.0 Getting stuck on the windows loader, is a know problem. TRy a hard reset to fix it.
Hard reset: Stylus in the hole on the side, and press the two " - " buttons between the red and green button.
This should fix the problem. Now you can flash another rom into the P3300. I'm, running 3.4 without any problem. I updated it with the HTC Tabs from Tom wich used in B&B 4.0.

The problem is that V4.0 functioned very well on my first flash…

while reinstalling the plug in HTC Home + the file SDK, that is better!!

I may come back, for now my Artemis is sitting, bricked, on my table and I've tried everything.
Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You need to flash via bootloader - hold record button down and soft reset - you now have multicolored screen - connect via usb and flash - you dont need activesync this way.

Rom download problems

Hi, Sorry, I know a lot of you guys are guru's on here but just need a little help. I have an unlocked T mobile mda which I am running on at&t.It has the 2.26 rom at present.I tried to install WM6 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324632 last night. Everything was going fine until the download reached 99%. Then it just hung for a while then gave me an error message '302'..From then on all I could get on the phone was the boot screen. I tried several times in boot mode to install again but same thing every time. I thought I had bricked my phone !
This morning I downloaded the 'lite' version from the same page and installed and hey presto, we are back to normal.
I don't know if WM6 is downloaded or not. I do get a different screen as it boots up now though..Firstly i get a screen with 'htc technology' written on it and then I get a screen with like a car speedometer with xda mobile 6 showing. Then it just comes on as normal......I don't know, All I really wanted was the 'touchflo' installed which I thought came with WM6...
Any info would be much appreciated,
Thanks, Paul

Hi
Yes You download the new version. There are more different roms maybe you download wrong rom to your device. İf you download rom with no error message I think you download wm6 rom and you should make hard reset for your device than I think it will be ok soon

Thanks for the reply...
I just did a hard reset and it's just the same as before.....any ideas ??

" 'touchflo' installed which I thought came with WM6..."
it dont
but if the top and buttom bars are not glossy
and the device info in
settings dont say the correct version you dont have wm6

Urgently Need Help!!! Imatejasjam

Hi, i have just bought a new imate jasjam and uploaded the windows mobile 6 as per your instructions. Everything was going ok, then active sync kept stuffing up, i reinstalled it 3 times and only sometimes works, i have limited to no connectivity in my LAN, and my imate takes 2hrs to do anything once i touch the screen. i have tried hard resetting etc nothing! i have searched and searched for everything and found nothing, i eally hope someone can help me, i am at my wits end!
PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Try putting it into bootloader and flashing hard spl and flash a new rom after that.

thank you!
i just tried to do that and it said error please connect the usb to the phone etc..and it is..
if this helps anyone- ipl 1.04 and spl.2.10.0lipro?
ggrrrr

Can you tell us what ROM you are trying to flash, and what OS you are using to connect with?

ROM VERSION: 3.30.2.1
ROM DATE: 05/15/07
RADIO:1.38.30.10
PROTOCOL:32.71.7020.12H
I have a windows xp sp2
i am so grateful to everyones input. thanks

usb connectivityy
Goto to the usb settings under communication and remove the tick from advanced usb fuctionality. Maybe unplug from USB first before doing that.

Thanks, have just tried that but it didnt work, still got the red cross on the icon and limited to no connectivity thru the LAN. i am so lost, i should have just left the phone as is ;-(

have you tried loading into the bootloader and then connecting the jasjam to your pc?
How to get into the bootloader is described here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
once connected just run the offical update from telstra (which is a damn good rom btw) and it should return your jasjam to normal. The latest Offical update can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348436&highlight=telstra
hope that helps
edit; should have read first post. hmmm. try uninstalling activesync and reinstalling it, or try on another computer. i had this problem awhile ago, can't remember exactly how i fixed it, but it was a combination of new activesync, bootloader and hardresetting

ok, i have reset it- is the bootloader screen the one with 3 colours with ipl etc on it?
i connected it and it then said usb on the screen, but activesync can't connect it?

When you get to the bootloader screen with the 3 colors you need to reflash with a new ROM

thanks to everyone, i am now back and running! god knows hoe but thanks!
