Universal (JasJar) is now brick after radio update attempt

Ouch!!!!!
I tried the radio update, during which I got a communication error.
Now I have a brick!
The blue i-mate screen comes up. the rom info is displayed (radio still says 1.03.00) and there it is stuck.
Now what? Hard reset? (how do you hard reset from that point?)
Bootloader? How is that done?
Please help. I am off to go under my blanket to cry.

Just retry the radio update again and again, put it in bootloader

How do I get bootloader? I tried the camera+power+reset combination but it still does the same thing, no bootloader menu.
Or do I have to have the bootloader files in the storage card first?
Can I also get help on how to extract the files. I don't know where the installer is putting the binaries, and at this point I would very much prefer not guessing what files to put where.

bootloader
try this
light + power + reset

That did something. Now I have a white screen (no light) that says "Serial" on top and "v 0. 60" at the bottom.
I have the following files in the sd:
EnterBL.exe
GetServiceData.exe
radio_.nbf
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
But it is not doing anything.

yes, now it's in bootloader. Now connect the jasjar to your pc and execute the upgrade. If it doesnt work kill the activesync processes (WCESMgr.exe and wcescomm.exe) and repeat the upgrade

OK! That seemed to work, but it still gets stuck at the bootup screen (except now it shows the new radio version).
The update program asks for a hard reset, but others in another thread mentioned they did not need a hard reset after this update.
Is there something else I can try before trying a hard reset?
I just spent a week to set the damned thing to the way I like, and don't want to do all that again.

I didnt hard reset. try resetting 2 or 3 times. If it doesnt work then hard reset

I took out the battery. Will wait a bit and try resetting a few times.
How long does it take for yours to show some activity after the rom versions are displayed?
It does take longer for this device to bootup, but I wonder if the new rom made a difference there.

Usually the blue boot screen disappears in 30 seconds. But when i installed pocket plus many times it keeped freezed and a had to reset 3 o 4 times.
Is your case?

Hmm. I don't have pocket plus, but I have the spb gprs monitor (or whatever it is called) at the startup. Maybe that's causing a problem with the new radio.
I will reset 3 - 4 more times and then do a hard reset.
If it does not come back from hard reset, the bawling you hear all the way out there is me.

he he . I ve spb gprs monitor too and it works fine.
good luck :wink:
When perform soft reset, wait 1 or 2 minutes before doing other soft reset

OK, now it is time to cry.
It is not coming back from hard reset either.
It is officially a brick. Any more ideas? Please?

thy to make the update again. Perhaps this revives it

if a radio update is available, maybe a rom update is around the corner.
Or just a recovery standard rom

Does exits an official rom to reinstall jasjar rom?

I am doing the radio update again to see if that helps.
I will probably need to contact imate support for a recovery rom image I suppose. I suppose I should tell them what I was doing.
But this update was from imate, right, so I didn't do anything "wrong".
If someone has a rom, please let me know.

So, I am getting the runaround.
iMate says they don't have the rom to send me and I should send the device to the service center. The service center says they don't work on JasJars there.
So I am stuck with a paperweight?

Try Hard reset....
Just try to Hard reset .. most probably one of your already installed S/W causes the machine to hangup.... once you clear after Hard reset it should boot up.. worse while before sending it back to imate and being blamed for loading un-official and not released update... Unfortunatly there no "shipped rom" yet. you best choice to recover the paper weight is to hard reset and perhaps load S/W again. ... I have been trying to dump the rom for days with no success .. once one of us can do it we are releaseed.
Good luck

Already did the hard reset (many times) and nothing changed.
The problem started after the radio update, and the hard reset does not reset that update (I see the new version on startup).
Unless there is a harder reset I can do, I suppose I will have to wait for the rom.
makes a grown man cry...

Desperate to do a hard reset

Excuse my poor writing English.
I was cleanig my sd card whith sk tools program, and I made a mistake and clean all files from main memory.
Now I don't have access to the programs, and the soft reset and the camaras buttons don't work.
How can I do a hard reset in these circumstances?
Please help. I really need the phone working.
Thanks.

hard reset is usually done by holding in the top two inner (menu) buttons while pressing the soft reset button, let go the reset button first then when the warning comes on screen release the other 2. Then press call to start the reset process.

Thank you for the answer.
The problem is the soft reset button doesn't work.
Is there other way to do the hard reset?

hard reset
You shold do:
Start>settings>system>clear storage> it is a hard reset too

Surely if the files on the phones memeory has been wiped the pressing the buttons on the handset will be pointless as there will be no programmes/commands linked to them
Sounds pretty serious to me

Maybe you can try a reflash of the rom?

Thank you.
It seems that I have a serious problem.
If somebody know another way of doing the hard reset, please inform.

Arthur

Ok, seems that the only way is to do a refash of the rom.
How do I make that?
Please help
Thanks.
PS: In the process I hope not to use the active sync, because it doesn't work in my computer

dude i guess you need to reflash the rom
yes you need active synch to run uspl which you need before you flash/reflash a rom
your alternatives
use SD flashing read about it in wiki xda developers i never used it but its there
all the best sincere wishes to recover your pda

just another two thoughts are you aware that if you hold the power button the phone restart it like soft reset!! so i guess you may want to try this b4 anything else i mean hold the two soft buttons & attempt reset via power!!
you may also want to try a programme called IBE Tweaks it has HARD RESET feature built in it!!
let us know how things go

Reflash the rom & dont forget to run a uspl first

After several attempts finally I managed to do the hard reset using the buttons, and my pda is work fine again
In any way, I will try your indications to prevent futures problems.
Thanks jahrami, you have been very useful.

U most welcome so glad u got ur phone back
Congratulations

Phone Disconnects from ActiveSync when upgrading

I am trying to upgrade to Schap's new ROM on WM6. Once I have the phone sync'd, I open the ROM update utility and go through the beginning steps. I get to the "You are now ready to update your ROM image..." section and click next. The phone immediately disconnects from the computer and the screen turns off. The ROM update has failed at the point. Help!

Does your phone go into a tri-color screen?
You might want to delete your AS 4.5 settings on your desktop and then install clean from there.
Also, if you have Hard SPL on your handheld (which I HIGHLY recommend) then you could also go to the tri-color screen (hold the "ok" and "power" button together and reset), and the flash from there, using "force safe SPL"...I've had to do that a few times when I lost AS connectivity.
Hope that helps.
And I do NOT take responsibility if none of that works
Jim

OK I was able to get the tri-color screen up by holding those three buttons at the same time and the upgrade started, then failed with a message saying "The image file is corrupted." I downloaded the image file again and it is still giving me the same error. What does that mean?????

Do you have Hard SPL on your handheld??? My first post said you should have loaded that FIRST.
Jim

How do I know if I have SPL?

Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Hard SPL, not just SPL.
and if you dont know what that is, then i suggest you spend a little more time reading before you start flashing

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HardSPL

OK all the info required to do the upgrades and etc... is available readily in the wiki pages aswell as via the updated search function.
Please make sure you are up to speed on all the info BEFORE doing any upgrading on your device.
Heres some good reading:

Radio update?

Have had a SPV M700 for a couple of years now. Still happy with the phone, but have noticed the GPS is getting very slow to lock on.
Have read a variety of threads on this and pretty confused.
It is still on WM5
ROM version 1.23.61.5
Radio: 1.30.00.01
Do I need to update just the radio version? if so, is there a basic guide out there to explain the procedure?
Cheers

Yes you have a very old radio. Last one for Trinity is in my signature.
Before flashing radio, you should install hardSPL.
Look for Olipro 1.20 for Trinity.
Press at same time "Power" and "Camera" buttons and hold them while stylus in reset pin next to usb plug
release buttons synchro, then release stylus
Then you must see "serial" down the screen
Connect to PC by USB
Then you must see "USB" down the screen
Install Olipro 1.2 now.
Hard reset after install.
Now to install radio, as simple as to flash ROM.
Press at same time "Power" and "Camera" buttons and hold them while stylus in reset pin next to usb plug
release buttons synchro, then release stylus
Then you must see "serial" down the screen
Connect to PC by USB
Then you must see "USB" down the screen
Install RADIO now.
Hard reset after install.
Then you can flash any ROM (for Trinity) you like : WM5, WM6, WM 6.1, WM 6.5 and any language
brds,
nAr

narshorn , thank you for your explanation
Is it necessary to Install "Olipro 1.2" every time you change Radio or ROM? Or just necessary to install one time (for the first time)?
Thanks

Once is enough (unless you overwrite it with a full rom that includes an SPL).

Touch Diamond won't boot ! ! !

I installed a HardSPL 1.40 Olinex. Then Custom RUU 23125 from here. I installed a wm 6.5 (i gues so). I run the OS and i began to personalize my new OS. The system buged and crashed. After reboot (by taking out the battery) the OS wouldn't start. I tried hard reset, but nothing. I am sorry for the very bad english, but i need help urgently ! ! ! I have the phone from 4 days If i only knew what will happen.... Thank you!

I would suggest you by following solution
1.Boot from MTTY way
2.Try SPL 1.93
3.Change your battery--i experienced once when i flash a new ROM and my diamond stuck on "TOUCH DIAMOND-the first screen" and then keep reboot. Then i change my battery, it boot just like nomal.
Good Luck.

no need to get back to 1.39 .. olinex 1.40 works fine. maybe just the rom is faulty when after reset+vol down+enter does the same error!
get onto boot loder (reset + vol down) when you get the "serial" label, plug in the usb, do the task 29 to format the phone, and get some other rom, and flash it with provided exe file.

Are you using Atlas rom? or what? This rom has a bug in this moment of installation that sounds like your behavior...
I have several problems with 6.5/6.5.x newer builds before I switch to hardSPL 1.93 developer edition. This hardSPL could be installed to the phone also in the situation when no active sync connection is available. Simply run "installer" and go through the process as usual, you will see that it works...

I am with Energy ROM 2.xxxx. I' ll try this right now.

260 error
it ' s give me error 206 (telephone not connected). How to instal whatever without a USB connection and ActiveSync? It doesn' t work> It' s stuck now on Starting Windows screen: Preparing for first use....."

Flash a stock rom with stock spl from bootloader (press soft reset then volume down ) then re try with hard spl and put another rom like energy rom that works for sure (at least for me)

seems u did not read much before flashing. I guess you can easily solve the problem following Post2. You are doing Hard reset (reset+down+middle). It would not solve the problem. For new flash or mitty you have to go to boot loader screen (reset+down vol. key) (not the middle key). Also Active sync menu: file->connection settings, deselect 'Allow USB connection'.... then start flashing new rom (more details see Mitty or flash thread):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
in simple english,
MITTY: for formatting ROM so that no old data will mess up with new rom (not always required but solves many wiered problems)
I once faced such problem , Mitty (once) and flashing rom (twice) solved the problem

Thank you man. It works now. I installed this rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe.
Can you, or anybody give me some advice about which Rom should I install, to install wm 6.5 for my phone. Is there some "light" ROM, or something, for wm6.5 (working).?
