Universal dead after failed upgrade

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

No to do that , connect ypur ppc to pc amd flush again after finish just push reset buttom , you will be ok, otherwide try one more time

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.

hx2410 stuck at boot screen

Hi! I have recently flashed my hp ipaq hx2410 to wm2005, the update process went fine but the device doesn't boot anymore. It shows the loading bar and it gets stuck when it fills up. I have tried hard reseting it but the problem persists. I can't flash it because active sync doesn't "see" it anymore... just a local area connection X - limited or no conectivity. What can I do ? Is there a way to boot the device in some sort of flash mode or something? Thank you very much

I had to do hard reset about 3 times when upgrading my hx2490B.

I have done a lot of hard resets but the device still gets stuck.
Another thing... I did not hard reset the device before de WM05 rom update. I thought it should do that by itself.
And second... If I get it to work I want to flash it to WM06. I have the rom but are there some special steps to be followed for this update ?
My pda still gets stuck in the bootloader and then the backlight turns off. Should I leave it that way untill the battery is completely flat ?

Some people say that removing the battery for 24 hours may help.
Try that.
When i flashed my 2490 i did format the device and than did the flash.
But I don't think that matters cause the first time when i did flash i didn't format the drive and it was OK.

I'll remove the battery then and see tommorow. The main question is: is my device completely dead or is it "resurectable" ? I don't think that it need servicing .... but ... just asking
Thank you for the replies. If the batterry removal fix works I'll post here. In the meantime any other possible sollutions are welcome.

My pda still doesn't boot. I have removed the battery for 24 hours and nothing. I have drained the battery and nothing. Did numerous hard resets and still no result. Can anyone help me ?

Just an idea (since I had to do this yesterday) maybe try formatting the device.
After flashing 4PDA ROM to my device it would get stack on the same screen as yours. After formatting it all went OK and I had WM6.
For my device I had to click calender + power + messaging + reset, release reset - release all.

HELP Please

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.

SuperSport,

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.

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?

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

problem flashing

thanks in advance

Here's what you need to do:
Hold down the "Volume Down" button and press reset with the stylus. You will enter the Boot Loader. Now plug in your USB cable connecting it to you PC. On the bottom part of the screen (phone) you'll see USB. Now your PC recognizes the phone.
Start a ROM update through the RUU executable and flash your phone with a different ROM.

I think not. Don't know if you have a lot of apps installed after flashing. What you could do is find a ROM that's UC2/sUC compliant. If you create a folder structure on your internal storage like this:
ROOT > Backup and Restore > CAB > CABi
Put all the cabs you want on your device in the CAB folder and all the cabs you want on internal storage in CABi folder. After flashin and initial customization you will find yourself in User Customization (UC). It will state that it found a CAB folder, choose to install. After this it will state that it found a CABi folder, install as well. This reduces the effort of installing all apps after a hard-reset. As for messages, contacts e.g. I suggest you use PPCPimBackup.

same problem, but when I launch the ruu all is ok, until it starts, it stay at 0%, then I get a message that there was a communication error

Try flashing through bootloader. Press reset with stylus while holding volume down. After you're in the bootloader plugin USB cable and start flashing.

tried and didnt work. made it worst in fact :S
startet update trough bootloader, started, updated to 13% and then I was told the update didnt work with my device (or something similar, in norwegian). tried an older update, same problem... :/
when I now boot the phone I'm directly in bootloader, and with the funny message
DIAM100 65M
SPL-2.03.0000
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
I might have my hand on a brick... but hope not...
edit:
ooh, news, suddenly its updating moore... after 5 tries it allways stopped at 13%, but now it up to 31% and going strong... will update..
edit2: going strong up to 33%....... wow... well its a start and Im going to try some more.
edit3; 7th time the charm it seems... 100% and all I had to do was sit REALLY still. and I actually downgraded from 2.03 to 1.93 or something... should note that on this point I have tried flashing it with the original 2.03 and 1.93 every other time...
edit4; aaaaand we're back at the TOUCH Diamond screen.
edit5; aaaand after a failed flash to wm 6.5 (stopped/didnt start at 0%)... the phone started... This MIGHT be a clue that I should NOT try to get wm6.5 to run... but that wont stop me
I dont know if anyone else will have the same problems, but atleast this was my way to the resolution

Before you try to flash anything other then a stock ROM, I suggest you take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
You need to have Hard-SPL flashed before flashing any custom ROM. My advice would be to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705

Did you hold the volume down button while pressing reset? After pressing reset you should keep holding the volume down button until the tri-color bootscreen appears.
