Bricked P3300 - Please help. - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hi there
The first time that I have attempted to perform the upgrade to a cooked rom and everything has gone horribly wrong.
A reset (using the pin hole) gives a blank display. Nothing at all.
A hard reset (using pin hole and soft keys) gives the option to perform hard reset by pressing Yes. This then gives HTC logo screen and then system hangs after displaying
IPL 3.13.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
I can go into bootloader screen (pressing two side buttons) and can connect USB. When I try to install factory ROM or any cooked ROM it stops at 2% and gives me an error saying
Error 228 - Invalid File Size
Is there anything I can do to save my device?
Please help.

are you sure that you have the right factory rom?
must be the one that was on your device when you bought it!
had the same problem! flashing with original rom solved it!

Yes - this is the WM5 rom that I had orginally before upgrading to WM6.

Bricked P3300
try and remove the minisd card
that must be the cause
cheers

Bootloader is not just by pressing two buttons. Press both the buttons and make a soft-reset. When the tri-color screen appears, connect to USB and perform the ROM upgrade again. If it fails, perform the upgrade with a factory ROM. This will bring back your device to working condition.
Next time before flashing, make sure you have applied Hard SPL once.
Regards,
Carty..

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.

Try to enter the bootloader mode (power+light+reset). From what you have described it appears that you should not have problem entering the bootloader mode. Please remember that in bootloader mode yor screen is dark and only when you look very carefully you will be able to read the word "Serial" on the top of the screen and bootloader version number at the bottom. If there is inssuficient illumination in the room it is quite possible to think that the screen is blank. There will be no backlight. Once you are in the bootloader connect to your PC (before connecting please open Active sync on your PC uncheck the "Allow USB" connection in File / connection setting) Once connected the word "Serial" on the top of the screen will change to "USB". It is advisable to use only the original cable. Also connect the cable directly and not through a hub. Now reflash the rom and do a hard reset. I have faced problems by softreset after upgrade please try hard reset.
Hopefully your problem will be solved by a reflash.
Best of luck
From my past experience you have to flash to the original manufacturer rom first. Then you flash to whatever rom you want.
hope this helps
Thanks all, I'm now be able to re-flash the ROM and upgraded to WM6....
Here comes another issue... after i run the first setup and reset the PDA, it stuck on the Windows Mobile screen, any clue?
thanks again.

From the file link you have specified, http://micmeo.com/UNI/WM6/900_WWE_20...0_wwe_ship.zip it seems that you are using Jwrightmcps' WM6 2.01.08 WWE Rom Release.
I too have lock-up problems but only during boot-up. The frequency of this happenning is about 30% and why it happens is still unknown since the lock-up happens at random stages during the booting sequence. The only solution that I know of for now is to simply do a soft-reset repeatedly until the device boots up properly.

This appears to be a common problem as seen from different posts. Thankfully things are ok after reset.
yes, after reset few times, it works... and everytime it hangs, need reset few times...

You might find this of interest - it refers to the problem of hanging after soft reset in the 2.01.08 WWE Rom:

Need desperate help with possibly bricked Diamond

Hi all,
Just received my Vodafone-branded Diamond, and I'm afraid I already managed to brick it!
It was equipped with version "1.37.172.3 NLD" so I decided to upgrade it to the latest version.
The installation of OliNex Hard-SPL 1.93 went flawless, but the installation of ROM "RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe" stopped at about 25% with error code 302. The recovery method that came with the package didn't help, every time the upgrade stopped at the same moment.
Since the device is stuck in the bootloader, and I'm left with a non-chargeable battery, I tried the official Vodafone-branded "RUU_Diamond_Vodafone_NL_1.97.172.4_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.44.25.24_1.08.25.08_Ship.exe" ROM. Unfortunately, this upgrade stops at 48% and throws the same 302 error.
Anyone who can tell me what I'm doing wrong, and what I can do to solve all this?
I hope I don't have a brand new, but bricked device on Christmas!
TIA and have a nice day.
Try a hard reset first. If this doesn't help google or search at XDA for MTTY.
This tool can fix your device
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Stuck_at_bootloader
Try this, maybe will work
Try a Vodafone branded stock rom before mtty.

Carty..
He already tried a stock rom....
Potential Solution
Have you looked at the thread titled,
[UPG][TRBL]How-to fix: Update/Flash doesnt work, stops at 0% or 5% (invalid model ID)
It may just be a model ID glitch that can me fixed.
Take a look. It's in this forum in a sticky by cptsunshine.
Thanks all for the help, I'll have a look at your suggestions.
The problem isn't that it stops at 0% or 5%, it stops at random percentages (depending on the ROM I use).
I also see the bootloader (red / green / blue), so it's not dead. I guess it's just that it doesn't pick up a ROM.
Besides, the bootloaders says upgrade ROM code error please try again.
Edit:
A hard reset doesn't seem to work. In the bootloader, when I press "volume down" and "enter" together, and press the "reset button" the screen goes black, but then goes back to the bootloader screen after a sec or 2.
Edit 2:
MTTY doesn't do much either, after executing "boot" the phone is showing me the Vodafone logo and that's it.
For the rest, MTTY shows me the following:
Cmd>boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
dwDirectNum: 0, dwMatrixNum: 0, dwMicroPNum: 0
Fixed new dwPSImageSize = 0x53E0000
Install Rom via Internal Memory Method
Steps from Suiller:
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
Let me know how it goes.
Make sure you have Net framework 3.5 installed on devices.

Can you please be more specific? Are you telling me how to do a hard reset? I tried as to do a hard reset, but it goes back to the bootloader instead of resetting. USB stick?
Thanks all, much appreciated. A pain this can happen, looking at the fact that I did everything exactly as described in all these flashing manuals.

No mate, I never had problems getting into the 3 color screen. The problem was updating afterwards, which never completed without error code 302.
Anyway, I guess I just fully bricked my device after putting SPL-1.40.OliNex (according to the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211) on it. The SPL install was succesful, but when booting I'm now not even getting to see the 3 color bootloader. All I see is the Vodafone logo with some version numbers at the bottom, but that's it. It doesn't boot further on, and I can't get a USB-connection.
Edit:
Volume down + reset brought me in the bootloader again, although it's saying SPL-1.93.OliNex.

that i know but as i say in the post that when u do it that way i say u can load new firmware whitout it needs to boot try my friend i have done it 3 times because wrong loading of firmware
u have to only push thoose 2 buttom then it will work because u go to rescue mode
But what will that give me extra? I can access the Hard-SPL 1.93 bootloader (3 color screen), and I can get into USB mode. It's just that the upgrade of both firmwares stop at a certain percentage.
I'm constantly trying to hard reset the device, but after pushing the reset button (with both volumn down + enter pressed down), the device just reboots back into the bootloader and doesn't give me the hard reset warning.

Ok, finally managed to do a hard reset. Afterwards I tried upgrading to the official Vodafone NL 1.97 ROM once more, but it failed at 48% again.
Any ideas what to do? I know have Diamond with Hard-SPL 1.93 (which says upgrade ROM code error) with no working OS.
Ok all, got it finally working again!
Don't ask me why, but flashing the newest Dutty ROM (and the included radio) did work.
Thanks for all your help, and a wonderful evening!
Hi all,
I have a quit similar problem. I've read a lot, but couldn't find an answer to my problem - may bye someone can help me.
I updated my Dimond (OliNex Hard-SPL 1.93, radio 1.09.25.23 and rom dutty V4). When I start my phone most of the time (95% plus) I end up in the color screen - however some time it's starts perfect (without changing anything).
When I get stock in the color screen, I can start the phone with mtty and the command "boot".
What can I do to make my phone always start in the normal way?
Thanks!

i smell a radio issue - last time i was trying to upgrade my radio - ended up with something similar, managed it out like you did - but now you're up - so that's good!!
try some other rom (this time without radio) - i don't think you should have any issues going forward... good luck and have fun!

Impossible to change my ROM!?

Hi,
i've a big trouble.
My diamond has the belite 0.99 ROM, which was installed thanks to the hdSPL 1.34.
I never have any pb changing ROM nor Radio rom too.
But, since this week, i want to change my rom for the AZTOR HD v1 or to change back to stock HTC rom.
But, i can't!
Every time i start the process, my diamond's screen turns into black, the microsoft active sync disconnects, then, the program for changing rom tells me there is a pb of connection!?? (error 238).
So i tried to change my hdspl to olinex 1.38 signed, but same result. Sometimes, when the upgrading program runs, i got a disconnection, or sometimes, the diamond's screen shows the 3 color screen with bootloader information. But, the process for upgrading fails every times!!
Any idea to help me please ???
What about 1.40 unsigned?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2312363&postcount=2
i tried too!
this is really strange!
i have some difficulties to change my hdspl too!
i successfully changed from 1.34 hd to 1.38 olinex, but... i tried so much time and so much methods, i can't remember how i manage this change.
The fact is, to change ROM, or to change SPL, i got same results. Disconnection, black screen or boot loader screen..
Have you tried to flash from the internal storage? therefore bypassing the need to use Activesync.
you need to rename the ROM file (.nbh file) you have downloaded to DIAMIMG.nbh and transfer it to the root directory of the internal storage.
Ensure you phone is charged.
Now you need to hold down the Volume Down AND the "<-" button (the button just above end call) and press the stylus into the soft reset hole.
This will take you into the boot loader, keep the Volume Down, AND the "<-" button's held until you reach a grey screen you will be prompted to press the power button to perform the update to your phone.
Once it reaches 100% it will show "Update Success" and just sit there, at this point perform a Hard Reset, Volume Down AND the circle button and press the stylus into the soft reset hole.
Keep the Volume Down AND the circle button's held and you will be taken to another grey screen, prompting you to press Volume Up to perform the Hard Reset.
Try flash from BootLoader screen. There is Wiki that describe how.
lobsterdave>> thx, i'll try it after work today.
Lord_BlackAdder>> Flash from bootloarder ? where can i find this in the wiki please ?
Is it the same method described by lobsterdave ?
lobsterdave >> thx very much, it worked.
but i was only able to put htc official rom, not the cooked rom from aztor.
But no matter, now i can sell my diamond...
thx a lot, and happy new year to all!

[Q] Bricked Artemis - can enter bootloader

Hello,
a friend of mine probably bricked his Artemis. He tried to flash, but did not HSPL first. Now the device can enter only bootloader. I tried many USPLs, MTTY, micro SD but nothing worked.
The version of SPL is 1.14, active sync does not go green after connecting, but if I try to flash, it is recognized and returns Error 300. I guess I need the original ROM, but it was in czech and I cannot find it anywhere.
Any ideas are very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

for SPL Artemis you can try this and to l his official ROM you can look at -> http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model = Artemis​ but first try to him that your friend's device hardreset !! like this way :To perform a hard reset
Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and the Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the lower left side of your device.
Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two soft key buttons. Release them only when you see the following message on your device screen: “Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.“
Press on your device. Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
thanks for ideas. HR cannot be made - returns error like "cannot format partition".
On the shipped ROMs site I cannot download anything - it only says something about redirection on ppc geeks
Here I attach the screen, what I get after trying to flash..
...
only the original rom will bring your device back to life.
whats your red numbers and letters at device start-up?
I can get only to bootloader, so the IPL : 1.14.0001 and SPL 1.14.0000 , that's all I can get
hmm, after a communication with official HTC servise in Czech Republic I got the number of original ROM and successfully downloaded it.
But still the same issue. Is it possible, that Bootloader is corrupted ? The guy told me that it is the only possible cause, if this ROM does not work
...
Try this original rom..
The bootloader of this rom matches yours..
(1.14.0000)
1. Put device into bootloader
2. Connect device to PC
3. Run the RUU
4(a). If this does not work, then you are stuck in the mud..
4(b). If that original rom does work, then click here for USPL 1.11.CMON
Good luck!

Hi,
thanks man for all the ideas. Unfortunately the ROM you are hyperlinkinkg I have already tried with no success. I have given it maximum, now I am giving it up.
Thanks for your patient help.

ME to in same problem plz help IPL 3.04.0001 and SPL 3.04.0000
