MDA Vario - Bricked? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I recently tried to upgrade my MDA VArio from WM5 to WM6 but was having a few problems. I finally managed to install the official T Mobile upgrade from: http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
but this only brought the phone up to WM5 with the following radio versions:
IPL - 2.21
SPL - 2.21
OS - Can't remember this (I think it may have been 2.19)
Anyway, try as I may, I could get any of the following updates to work,
Crossbow Reloaded v1.5
TNT 4.0 Professional
XDA Mobile 6.0
TouchNoEvil_4Mb
XDA Mobile 6 r2a
XM6r3
Wizard Love
Each time I tried one of these upgrades, I would get a failure message at 99% of the conversion (various errors for each of the different ROM's)
 ERROR [302~318] : UPDATE ERROR
 ERROR [320~328] : INVALID COMMAND
 ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL
Each time i would re-flash the phone to the official T-Mobile ROM. I finally tried to do the following, use
Real Radio 2.611
Which did actaully work, but then I went for the following
XM6r3
and I had a power failure on my pc half way through! My phone stopped respoding to any commands (had the progress bar on screen stuck at 50%) so i took th battery out and since then I get nothing - nada!
I thought that I had maybe completely drained the battery, but my MDA won't even charge up now, please help, i am desperate to get this working again - if possible

First,plz always read ,search in the forum for your problems.
secondly, always post in the correct forum and thread.
As I see from your post you have been going around the forum downloading and trying to upgrade to wm6 rom with different custom builds and were unsuccessful,why...? cuz you did not read and follow the right procedure for upgrading,the first and foremost requirement to upgrade to any wm6 upgrade is to have your device sim/cid unlocked,only after sim/cid unlock you are able to upgrade,otherwise you'll fail and might in the process "BRICK" your phone.
from your vital data of your MDA it's a G3 DOC chip ,so check out the following link and carry out the procedure to unlock and than upgrade,good luck

Help !! MDA Pro - stuck in bootloader !!

I know this topic has been covered previously but the problem I am having seems unique
I have updated my univeral rom in the normal way but the device will not come out of bootloader.
I have removed the sd card and run the rom update again but to no avail the bootloader screen remains.
I have updated a few times using various rom updates ie o2 Exec/ Imate / Qtek and never had a problem before.
The only thing different about this installation is I put the rom unlocker (ref Buzz) and I can only think this is causing the problem.
Can anyone help
Hi jonboy,
just had the same problem few days ago and my heart dropped ;-)
Then I tried to install simply the phone-rom version 1.04.02 (I forgot from which package) - waited, rebooted and hurray
HTH for you as well
ndee

Sounds like you have not read the instructions on how to upgrade your rom. There are many sources for the documentation. The easiest to understand are the upgrade guide by mrvanix. Maybe read about the unlocker/hard spl and read the wiki and mrvanix upgrade guides.
i have done the upgrade for a couple of times
every time the same way.
It work perfectly until the last update to schaps 3.54c
Now i get this error message
any idea?
try CID unlock.....search the WIKI
Maybe this will help you out... I have posted the error codes HERE...
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
thanx for this information
my tytn run´s fine - but the upgrade fails!!!
on the screen you can see "0% image upgrade in progress"
no further messages
on PC i´ll get the error [262]
after softreset everything seems ok
regards
When you run the update....select autodetect....sounds like you are running the wrong RUU for your SPL version...
....actually...update to HArdSPL v2.10 first...then run it. Your SPL at the moment is very risky to use and could kill your device......update to hardspl first.
thanx mrvanx's
your advice works great...
now i can upgrade my device to the current version ;-)
regards
262 update error
I just recd. my KAIS130 with the following:
Hardspl 1.81.0000, CPLD 8,
RomV: 1.56.405.5
Rom Date: 8/28/07
Radio 1.27.12.11
I have used two different laptops, usb ports, WINXP pro. The active sync 4.5works fine and is connected.
Trying to load HARDSPL V7 or Alex v52.ATT.162 ROMs i get 262 Update error. With hardspl it makes the ding sound disconnects the activesync and comes with error 260. i tried to disable the USB on the PC as recommended then it does not even recognize the kaiser. Did a hard reset on the whole device, reinstalled activesync several times. Some reason it disconnects my activesync. I have been reading and reading different forums for the last several days but cannot make it work. Can someone help please
maybe try to disable windows firewall
Tried disabling firewall too - nothing doing.
Configured a new laptop with XPPRO with no virus protection, firewall just bare bone. Copied HardSPL v7 and ran it same thing - active sync goes away, shows on the screen verifying info. reboots the kaiser and on the laptop shows "ERROR 260:UPDATE ERROR". Anyone any idea. It seems like it just does not want to load anything on the kaiser.
15Apr - Issue resolved with the new laptop. I was able to do hardspl v1 meaning downgrading I think from hardspl 1.81 and everything seems to be ok. Now i am able to load ROM with no problem - Whew!!

HELP Error [246] Device not responding (Not the typical version of error)

Hi Guys
I have read all the threads and support messages re: Error [246] Device not responding. And mine is different.
I first experienced this problem after I flashed Pays 1.45 Lite after previously installing Pays 1.45 Full. When i try to flash any ROM (not just Pays) I get an "Error [246] Device not responding" message.
Unlike other Error [246] Device not responding problems my bootloader tricolor screen does not come up on my Hermes. I have tried, reinstalling Active Synce, Hard and Soft Resetting, Restarting the bootloader SSPL and still no resolution of the problem.
Sorry bring this problem to bear but it is different to your typical "Error [246] Device not responding " problem and it is driving me batty. the ROM i currently have installed works (Pays 1.45 Lite) and my USB syncs with active sync fine.
Any ideas what the problems could be? I am tempted to drown the hermes in holy water atm to make sure it isn't demonic possession ;(
Any help would be appreciated ;p
Quick update:
I used Force using Safe SSPL for installing ROMS in the past with no problems. It is using this method that I get the 246 Error.
Other methods used gain different errors:
SPL1.04/1.10 - SPL1.09 Bootloader = Error 260 Update Error (check phone attached to usb cable and computer - which it is)
SPL1.11/1.13/1.20/1.35/1.40 Bootloader = 1% complete progress the error 270 Update Error (file image is corrupted) NO MATTER WHAT ROM I USE.
SPL2.02/2.10/2.30 New Bootloader = error 270 as above
Bootloader Screen Reads:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-2.03
I have successfully flashed about 4-5 roms before without experiencing this problem. I have made no changes to my device or my PC. I don't know what could have caused this to happen all of a sudden and out of the blue.
Could a moderator please move this to Hermes Upgrading etc section please?
Have you tried installing the latest Olipro Hardspl v7.... it will read as v2.10 which is a later release than the v2.03 that you have... it will also fix any bad blocks on your device and you should be fine after that...
Debonairone
You. sir.... ROCK!
Works great. Tragedy averted. Thoughts about buying an iphone extingusihed.
;p
Hi gurus,
Im having the similar problem encountered the Error [246] Device not responding.
I have try installing the latest Olipro Hardspl v7 but unable to work. I am still encountered the same problem.
Im currently on Dopod 838 Pro (Hermes 100) with PAYS ROM, Rome Date : 08/09/07, Radio Version : 1.47.00.20, Protocol Version 32:80.7020.20H

NO!!!! Using the Hard SPL for ANY Version of HTC device it wasn't intended is the fastest way to brick your phone...

Kaiser rom error

Hello I have an at&t tilt and it is freshly resetted with nothing on it. When i try to upgrade it with any type of rom it always gives me error 262. i followed all instructions that were given and it still does not work

Thanks to all your posts <- my NO GSM issue was resolved

Hi All,
I think I owe all of you this post.
I have been stuck with the Windows Mobile Screen(NO GSM) for over 2 hours today. I was trying to restore my dopod 838 pro to WM5 (WWE shipped) coz i was having so may issues with the WM6.5 versions. Here's what I did:
1. Tried to run the official installer found in the HTC Site. Didn't work so...
2. Took the .nbh file and used RRUWrapper.exe to load it into the device.
It worked but got NO GSM everytime I tried to boot.
I scoured the threads for solution and this was the recap of the things I did...
1. Entered Bootloader, reran RRUWrapper.exe to reload the WM5 rom.. Didn't work
2. Entered Bootloader, reran RRUWrapper.exe to reload DarkVisions v5 rom. That was what i used before the issue. Didn't work.
3. Removed battery for 20 minuites. Restarted phone after 20 mins. Still the same issue (stuck on bootscreen - no gsm)
4. Entered Bootloader, reran RRUWrapper.exe to load the official WM6 WWE (for tytn) rom. This seem to resolve it.
I always flash the rom without sim and microsd. I have inserted the sim and card, rebooted 2x... everythings normal...
I think it goes without question that i'll be sticking to this rom... At least its the official rom...
Thanks to all your posts from before. They all helped...
it didn't work for me.. any further suggestion?
