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.

How to get into Bootloader

Hi there!
What key combination gets me into the bootloader?
I've been wondering and searching for a way to upgrade my MDA pro rom. (searching for hours on xda, google and a lot of other specialized sites. Turned out to be dead ends! FRUSTRATING!
I'va had a Qtek S100 before. There was a way to get into the bootloader. And there is a way into the bootloader for the Universal to! YES!
But when i try to push the buttons
on/of
Camera
reset button
i cant get in!
button 1 and 2
reset
the same problem.
I get as far as the pres 0 or X for factory default and exit.
Who can help me? I have the no_id upgrade utility and the ROM ready.
Was there a UUL file which i had to edit before using this upgrade method?
I hope there wil be a good tutorial for this just like the one i have used to upgrade my S100 to an orange rom. (worked great!)
Can anyone help me please

Its BACKLIGHT BUTTON + POWER BUTTON + RESET HOLE
It's better to do this without the SIM and Memory Card connected. Disconnect also the USB Sync Cable.
After entering bootloader, you will see SERIAL written on the screen but the screen has no backlight so you have to look hard.
Then when you plug the Sync Cable, the SERIAL will change to USB then you can run the NoID to update.
Remember the NoID has to be run twice in a row as the first time usually solicits an ID Country error

It Works
Thanks Jorge!
Just those keystrokes helped me a lot. It works just fine and it took me only one run to Initiate the upgrading.
Thanks a lot!
I followed your advice and removed the SD and the phone card.
Yes! now i can experiment with these ROMS.
First Jasjar, later O2 and hoping for the best roms with the best programs.(hoping to find a messenger cab file in the jasjar rom)

As I am planning to do the same, Try all the variants of the ROM's, could you inform me what are the good and bad points of all the different ROM's you used and which did you decide to use finally.
Thanks

HELP !!!!
I turn on my Qtek 9000 and i see SERIAL written and the screen but the screen has no backlight.
How can I boot my Qtek 9000 again without this SERIAL mode ????
Best Regards

Hi Ecraseur,
if You did not do anything else (no upgrading), try ColdReset : Power-switch + Reset hole.

If we can boot from Serial/USB is it possible to boot from Mini SD? I'm toying with the idea that by using a Linux Live Disk content on a Mini SD it may be possible to boot into a virtual Linux environment? I know it's going to be uber slow and may not even work but I thought it may be worth a look?
If a Mini SD boot isn't possible do you think it'd work to have one of the smaller USB bootable Linux flavours as the USB boot for the HTC Wizard etc?

Universal Dead flashing

Hi, a friend have 2 pda universal from vodafone that he has flashed and killed. I don´t know what happend. pda always shows USB and v1.00. After a lots o rom updates still dead, i have JAFWM, but with or without this machine is dead.
any rom especial version?
any soft?
thanks.

1. Try to restart the device in bootloader mode(Light key, power and reset pressed together)
2. Look at the display (should say Serial and version at the bottom)
3. Disable the USB connection in Active Sync otherwise the update will crash.
4. Plug in USB Cable (Screen Should now show USB at the top)
5. Start original Upgrade from your provider or take the upgrade you want to use with the MA_UpGrade_noid.exe.
6. After Flashing restart device with both soft keys at the bottom of the screen ( Buttons with - on it) pressed.
7. When asked type 0 to erase all data.
9. Device should start normally, if it doesn't do not hesitate to ask.

device always start in bootloader mode, i flash all times without problems, but when i restart device, automatically puts on bootloader mode.
after flash, make factory settings but,after this, restart in same mode.
always, when i run update program soft MaUpgradeUt_noID, detects no rom in pocket loaded.
strange problem on 2 pda´s ?
thanks

That shouldn't be a problem. Just continue to flash the rom. There could be a problem with your bootloader and the upgrade version (AKU2) you want to use.

Maybe it's a problem with bootloader.
Try it, maybe it will help you.

i think same as you, only problem with ROM image, but i have flashed many roms but I can´t revive device. So i ask name of Rom tht can revive pda.
Br.
PD. how i can flash the archive attached?

The rar file mentioned above is only the bootloader you already got on your device.
In your case i would use an old AKU1 rom and to see if it works.

hi guys
i have same problem. show only boot loader mode. how to use this boot loader file. wich AKU1 file is working. my phone is MDA PRO from germany T-mobile, i wan't to update ro to English. after flashing many times, many rom no result. help me
thanks a lot

Hello Siemens Man
Which Bootloader do you have ?
It would be great if you could make an backup of your bootloader then, that i could downgrade my phone and try to unlock it.(If do not know how to make an backup, thats no problem, because i can show you how to do it)

hi man
i have in boot loader mode. show me usb v1.00 only. i don't have buck up for my phone. please tell me solution how repair my phone.
thanks a lot

Did you try to update your phone to the latest orange rom for testing yet ?
If not try it out (I know it is said to be slow, but only if all orange customizations are installed) If it runs then its ok.
Otherwise try to use the exitbl.exe mentioned somewhere in this forum, hopefully it works.

connect to mtty and issue set 14 0 and then restart the device or use exitbl utility by buzz

HI to all! I have lost bootloader upgrading my qtek 9000 vodafone.

Update a ROM file. Step by Step.

These steps SHOULD unbrick/flash a ROM onto an XDA Orbit. (Only tested on a UK O2 Orbit as this is the only hardware I have)
Step by step:- (works for me. No promises. So far only on a Windows XP machine)
1. Hard reset phone (press and hold two buttons with white lines next to red and green button while pressing reset with stylus. When text appears on screen, release all buttons, read text and if OK press "send" key. This means the GREEN call key. Screen will show FAT formatted etc.)
2. When phone starts to boot back up press and hold TOP LEFT button (speech dial) while pressing reset to enter bootloader mode (screen changes to 3 colour, red green and blue bands.
3. With PC running (XP only for now) connect USB cable to phone. Windows will conect to phone but Activesync will not show as phone is not running Windows at this point (Bootloader only remember!)
4. Run the ORIGINAL ROM file for your handset. If German phone run GERMAN ROM, if UK phone run UK ROM. This should restore the handset back to its factory settings with WM5 running.
5. If you want to upgrade to WM6 I suggest you unlock phone using imei-check first. Easier to fix later on if something goes wrong. Costs about £28 I think.
6. Download and run USPL program by unpacking and clicking on "start_uspl.exe" NOT by running UpgradeROMUtility.exe. If USPL is successful, which it usually is, when the phone restarts pay attention to the RED number that appear on the bootscreen. SPL should read 1.11.0000.
7. After phone is finished re-booting download and run a ROM of your choice. Should install OK, especially if phone is unlocked and USPL'd
Apparently you can flash any ROM by using only USPL. I have not tried this as I previously "bricked" my handset by NOT running USPL when I should have. Therefore I have only detailed the steps that I take to flash my phone if I need to restore from a bad flash.
So far it works for me.
XDA Orbit running B&B v3.7 (no problem)
I hope that this long winded message helps some people out. This website forum has helped me out, with my Orbit and my old Himalaya device. Time to return the favour.

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.
• How to enter engeneering mode?
1. turn off your O2 XDA Stealth ;
2. hold Flag, OK and Camera + press and hold Power button;
3. use navigation buttons to select the settings.

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!
