you may have been not so carefully with the USB connection contact of the phone, or you ahve charged the phone at car while you were starting the car engine..some guys repaired this in service, or it passes by itself.

My grey screen says USB v2.07 I think I killed it!

My grey screen says USB v2.07. I tryed to update the radio to 1.13... I copied the EnterBl.exe over to the Siemens SX66 and executed it. It blinked and then turned off. Then it came back on and displays USB when on the cradel and Serial when removed. I cannot get it to do anything now. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,

thnx
you are stuck in bootloader mode. just run the setup for rom upgrade/restore for your device and it should work. I think a hard reset will also allow it to reboot into normal mode, but not sure.

I cannot seem to get it to reset nor be recognized by the computer when it is placed in the cradle. It will chime as it is placed in the cradle, yet the charging light no longer ignites and the hot-sync program on my WinXP pc does not indicate that they are connected any more.
Thank you for your time!

restore the original ROM. I had this issue after I run a defrag on my "Storage" folder using Storage Tools. I could not reset it. Also, upgrade with higher ROM did not work.
You have to restore / setup using original ROM version. Good luck!
Follow this link, download the update and follow through the instructions.

original rom
Does any one has the original rom for the ph20b my son messed it up
\if any one can send it via email or a link will be helpfull
thnx
Another Possible Solution...
This has happened to me numerous times when upgrading to various ROM versions and through experimentation I finally realized that it was related to my storage card. I also remember reading another post like this where this problem can occur if the storage card is on the large side (>= 1GB ).
Just take out the card and reconnect to the cradle and you should be able to flash again.
Hope this helps

PC not upgrading ROM... help

I've searched through the forums and can't find reference to anyone having problems upgrading due to their PC.
I've upgraded ROMs many times before but the most recent venture on my MDA Pro to WM6 (hemi 1.1) has been unsuccessful.
Basically starting 'ROMUpgradeUt' brings up, 'Device Software Update Utility' then clicking next starts the sofware search for the device but then it shuts down with no error message!
I've noticed other ROMs to give me the same problem now (eg Helmi AKU 3.5).
Tried:removing SD card, removing SIM, 'device upgrade mode'(light, power+reset), unchecking usb connection, hard reset, computer restart (XP),
ActiveSync 4.5 5059 working fine, country id error upgrade, tried another MDA Pro same problem.
I've run out of ideas guys.
PS last time i tried to upgrade to WM6 i got stuck on boot screen and had to use the mtty tool to reboot.
I think you should try an other mashine.
SOLVED !
Universal didn't like the different USB port at the back of the computer i was using. I had connected an external hard drive to 'its' port.

T-Mobile MDA Compact III issues...

Any help would be great....
I have a MDA Compact III issue when trying to upgrade to the ARTEMIS TOUCH 2.1 or 2.0 software
Unfortunatly, my pda was at 49% charge when i first tried, so stage one got to the end, then told me to charge my fone more and ended.
Thus i charge the fone to 75% and re-started. However, upon reconnecting the fone to commence the restart, the USB device was not recognised.
After removing the Active Sync and indeed the USB Driver from the PC and re-installing it, the conenction was re-established, however, it now often drops the connection. Plugging away, i tried the install Step 1 once more, and upon getting to 100% in the cmd part, and then progressing through the wizard, whereby the PDA displayed the progress bar reachinbg 100% (of the unlock stage) the PDA then reboots, and the connection is lost...and doesnt re-establish itself....and then the wizard reports Error [270] : Update Error The image file is corrupted. Please check your update Utility
Now, i have tried various sources for the software, and indeed tried both 2.0 and 2.1.....
Now i have a PDA that intermittantly drops its USB connection (and needs the USB removed and re-added on the PC) and is now slower than it was, plus never got to step 2 to get the software on iot.....
Can anyone help? Else i have a broken phone so to speak.....
Thanks alot in advance

well, I'll just try to give you some suggestions as I don't know much about MDA Compact III ,it does not fall in the category of wizard,it's a Magician device and I'm a wizard k-jam user. anyhow as a general of upgrading is to have your battery fully charged or atleast must have more than 70% charge.cuz during flashing in RUU upgrade mode,it does not charge,so if while during flash something goes wrong or it takes more time to flash,it shud have enough power to go through the whole process.if it does not have enough power to complete the process,it fails to flash properely and thus have a bad flash creating problems.so same has happened with u, you have a bad flash
well in wizards we have certain methods to revive the device or recharge the battery,i have no idea about your device,but can only suggest get the battery charge,secondly your usb connectivity problem is also due to the bad flash,cuz as there is no OS info on the device,it wont be able to establish the connection,which windows are you using,try to upgrade with winxp sp2 and active synchronize ver 4.5
as i have no idea about Magician upgrading method so wont comment further,but advise you to look in the below thread,it might be helpful,cuz its about Magician MDA Compact III
As your posting in the wring forum you might not get much help here,ok

thanks for the reply. Got it working - used 2.0 to unlock it, and 2.1 for the actual rom upgrade...

HELP ME with my dead Hermes, PLEASEEE!

Hi all,
I need to know if someone can help me to bring to life again my lovely JasJam,that was working great until this morning.
The problem is this one:
I was going outside the country this morning (I am in Czech rep. now and I went to Slovakia) and on the way back I realize that my hermes (herm100,spl2.10 olipro,RADIO 1.57,schaps 3.54bITA) was without any signal. I tried an other SIM card and the result was the same.
Once at home, I tried to reinstall schaps,everything was ok,except the signal still missing.At this point,I tried to reinstall the Radio and the bar was still at 0% and after 3 minutes it gave me error 262 and now is with the screen always on (illuminated) on the KITL page and it doesn't start anymore...
please,someone with a good heart,help me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
back a live any hermes ( that's as worked whith my hems)
I don't know that's work but try install any official rom from HTC that's have radio information and then you can install any other. but extrat the signedruu. (that's the rom file) and then put the file into a sd card start your herm by pressing simultaneous the power, and ok button and prissing the reset hole whith the stylus pen and follow the steps it's very easy.
thank you Zefo,
but I am Stuck on the bootloader page, I cannot insert a original Rom because ActiveSync doesn't recognize the phone.
Being in the Bootloader page is fine. Just run the RUU Wrapper, it will connect.
What caused the problem? I am a little worried as I am going to Tenerife on Friday and I am running Radio 1.54.07.00 as well (I assume thats what you meant when you said 1.57)...
Is there any reports of going abroad messing up your phone when its been modified with new radio/rom?
Hi Allan,
I would like to run RUU,but ActiveSync doesn't connect my phone,so when I launch it,they don't communicate. The computer see the device,but ActiveSync not, infact, If I try it,Itgive me error 260 Update Error (I used Hard SPL v7)
Stick what you need to flash on a MicroSD card and stick it in the phone, you should be able to boot off of that.
Theres instructions somewhere in the forum on it all.
I got the axact parameters of yours Hermes, STARFURY, it changes only the rom (mine is/was schaps 3.54b).
I am not able to find what you suggest me but I cannot go on the SD if the phone doesn't turn on the OS...How can I do?
Get a usb cardreader plug your microsd card into an sd card adaptor, then plug that into the cardreader and the cardreader into hte PC. Transfer the stuff onto the microsd card and stick it in the phone,.
but I have just to put the 2 files RUU Wrapper (Bootloader) on it in the main root??and how can I make them start?
I was able to go into the OS but I am still with no GSM and if I try to update it,it stops at 12% also with original ROM.
Can anyone give me a link where can I see where the radio chip is located on the mainboard please?

At Witt's End!

I have had a HTC model of the Excalibur for almost a month now. The first day I had it I went to the Comm Manager #5 (I believe the Sync option) was grayed out. I have tried active sync on 2 different PC's XP/vista and my laptop XP SP3 non will sync. I cannot access the SD card for anything but pictures taken with the phone. The Pictures can only be deleted from removing the SD card and putting in my card reader and deleting them manually. I can't get WMP11 to sync. I charges from USB fine but nothing else.
Phone appears to be brand new.
Specs:
Model: DodpodC720W
ROM: 1.33.422.1
WM 6.1 Standard
CE OS 5.2.19700
I have hard reset the phone 2 times this did not do anything but reset my settings.
I getting ready to get rid of it as it is less useful than my old phone.
Can anyone help me at all. All I want to do is add programs and music to the dam phone. Thank you.
change rom...
hi there.. all you need to do is re flash your rom or upgrade to a diferent one... i use 6.5 evolution series and it is really cool
Well since this seems to be the only way I appreciate the help. How about the application unlocked? How do I find out it is already? How will I install if not since I can't load anything?
OK i would love to upgrade my rom. It appears as though I need my PC to recognize the phone. Am I wrong? I am a noob when it comes to smart phones but not PC hacking. Please help me and thanks.
look in the sticky at the top of the forum....you need to do the bootloader option....if you have upgraded to 6.1 already...then load your original factory rom through the bootloader, and then once you reconnect after the flash, you should be able to flash the rom of your choice
Thanks but the phone came with 6.1 suggestion on what rom to load as the factory rom Since the Dopod rom is gone? Is there a universal HTC rom since this is a factory Excalibur. Again noob thanks.
My master boot screen reads
Excalibur Wifi
ONBL 1.33.0000
OK I guess I will try the HTC WM5 rom. If it doesn't work will it brick my phone? If it will then I will just sell the piece of **it on Ebay!

Lol! It shouldn't brick your phone. If you are unsure if it is app unlocked, then run the app unlock procedures at the top of the forum in the first sticky. You won't damage anything running them on an already unlocked phone.
Or sell it to me for spare parts!
Ok thanks for the help. But how am I suppose to run applications that require Activesync??? It has never worked on this Phone. Charges fine through a usb connection. USBview shows no device connected in XP/vista on 2 PC's. HTC branded running a dodpod WM6 rom.
If this is a 6.1 ROM already try going to the settings/connection and select USB/PC. If there is an option for advanced functionality uncheck it.
Thank you but I have done this many times. Checked, Unchecked, Usb charging checked and Unchecked in all combinations. Turn off an on after each. Turn on all settings in comm manager as well as off.
At this point I am looking for a way to flash a Rom. I will be able to try a T-Mobile Dash WM5 rom and hope that works in some way or if I am even able to since the USB connection doesn't show. I don't understand why I would be able to charge but no error on connection or even that there is something plugged into any USB port front back or otherwise.
Check this thread out Matt. Might be just what you need. Good luck

This may sound silly but what OS are you using on your pc and what version of active sync are you using?
Thanks.
Active Sync 4.5 also tried an another version DL 5 separate times to check to make sure it wasn't a bad copy as I have read in the forums.
XP/Vista desktop XP Sp3 laptop XP Sp3 on girlfriends PC windows CE on my **ty UMPC (but didn't expect to see it sync to that).
All will charge the phone fine. None show that there is any thing plugged into the PC using USB view nothing in the Administrative tools show as being not installed. Tried 3 different usb cables all work fine with other items PSP old phone so on.
With XP you will need to use active sync 4.5, with vista active sync will not work, it requires another program (which I can not remember the name of right now).
Stick with one os for now and lets see what we can get going. I use Windows XP Pro with service pack 2 and active sync myself. I am not sure if SP3 may have broken something with this since I did not install it on any machine that I use with my phone.
You might want to consider the SD card flash procedure mentioned in a post above to update to a different rom. I am not sure I would go back to WM5 though, I would suggest another 6.1 rom or the new 6.5 rom and go from there.
Well that didn't do it.
Thanks finally got to try the SD flashing. No go!
1. Extracted all the files. (the TMO WM5 rom and the HTC factory.)
2. rename the .nbh file to EXCAIMG.nbh
3. Format sd card FAT 32 slow format.
4. Loaded only the nbh file only as well all files extracted.
5. Hold down the camera button and insert the usb as well as hold the camera button for 3 sec then press power.
Gives me checking the SD card but that is it nothing else.
Active sync. I doubt this will ever work if the phone doesn't show as being on any USB port in USB view
8125 & At&t tilt (friends phones) show as being plugged into a port.
I had my friend take a look at it. He has flashed his phones plenty and said sell the piece of **it.
Am I doing the SD flash correctly?
Any more Ideas before I sell it?

hmmm if you're gonna sell it i'll buy it from you. i need something extra to test roms on..if i can get it working. i don't believe phones are ever bricked beyond repair. if the hardware isn't broken then it is fixable.
Hazz, That's a truly odd situation.
So odd that I had the exact same thing happen to me just recently actually . I don't exactly know why it happens but I can tell you how I fixed it.
1- I hard resetted my fone (powering off the fone then turning it on holding the 2 soft keys and power button for no more than 2 seconds).
2- From that menu I reset to the default rom. I don't exactly remember the menu options but there should be a sticky somewhere in this fantastic forum.
3- After it returned to default, I was successfully able to connect to activesync (well, Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows 7/vista) and flash ookbas amazing 6.5 3v0lution rom.
you can find original roms here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726 once you pick which one you need (i used the t-mobile one) put ur phone in bootloader. turn ur phone off and press and hold the camera button then power button then insert ur usb. Flash your rom. Then app unlock it using SDAunlock at the bottom of the first post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718.
Then dowload the newest 3VO 6.5 rom at the top of the first post and flash it and love it.
