I have a problem with my Tmobile MDAIII compact.
It dropped on the floor last week, the battery fell out and everything.. and after that it just hangs in the windows bootscreen.
Opened it up to see if there was any visible damage inside, but found nothing.
When I turn it on the screen shows:
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL 1.11.0001
GSM 03.21.90
OS 3.7.0.0
then it gos to the windows mobile splah/bootscreen
I have the PDAviet black and blue v4.0 touch ROM on it..
sof reset doesn;t work, it will just get stuck in the bootscreen again. if you touch a button it lights up the screen and keyboard, but even that stops responding afer a couple of minutes.
a hard reset is not an option right now cause I can't afford to lose my contacts and notes
flashing is not an option for the same reason.
had anyone here got any idea how to get this working again without a hard reset or a new flash..
I read that you can do more harm then good if you just use some commands you find, cause every bootloader has different commands so I carefully tried some MTTY commands in the bootloader, but in the end it didn't do anything. good or bad..
Is there a way to see where it hangs or gets stuck through some output console with MTTY or something? or get the contactlist out of it or the notes..
I SO cannot afford to lose my contacts or the notes in the damned thing. ( yes, I all hear you say " you should've backed up then!!" but hindsight is always 20-20 )
is it bootLOOPING or is it just hanging on the bootscreen?
if it's bootlooping try removing your SD card and then soft resetting
if it's hanging, your guess is as good as mine
It's hanging in that bootscreen/PDAVIET splash, it's not looping.. it just sits there mocking me..
There is no SD card present and no SIM either and if I insert those, it doesn't change a thing about its behaviour, it still hangs..
124 views and no one knows anything? no small clue, no tip, no nothing?
I think it's just broken.
The only option you can try I see is a hard reset. To bad you haven't made a backup or something on your computer. Lesson for the next time, if you contacts and notes are that important, Make a daily backup!!!

HELP! my blue angel is eather blocked or really dead.
last time it worked i did a hard reset, the funny thing is he keeps all the tasks after the hard reset (?) and after 2 minuuts when the boot has been completed it freezes. nothing works anymore, no button,no screen, no nothing responds. even the start button from windows has been replaced by the word phone in the frozen screen. Not even active sync can make a connection...
anyone ??? any suggestions???
have you tried Re-Flashing with 1) a new rom or 2) the original rom
how will he reflash the device, if he can't sync it? Contact your dealer, otherwise, i'm buying the digitizer...if nothing can be made to save your device.
you dont need to sync to flash the device!
put the blue angel in boot loader mode and the display will say 'serial' and a number. connect to PC with the docking cable and it will then say 'USB' and is then reday to flash!!
do a search on 'flashing a new rom to blue angel' or similar search and it is all there!!!!!
got it fixed
thnx 4 all the tips. butr got the problem solved.
i got myself a jasjar couple days ago.
but the device keeps rebooting/reseting every 15min. or whatever.
so i tried to update the rom version with a more recent one.
however ... now my device doesn't do anything at all.
it's frozen at the bootloader if i'm correct.
only thing it displays is 'serial' at top of the screen and 'version 1.00' at the bottom.
i tried a hard reset, soft reset.... always ends up back at this screen.
could anyone plz help me?
Sounds like you just need to reflash your device. Use this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319838
Unpack the zip file and run the MaUpgradeNoID file.

i've done that. but the phone keeps rebooting.
just after spash screen the screen goes black.
is there a way to backup my current radio/ext rom etc.?? so i can restor?
i have the WM ultimate as suggested, but keeps rebooting.
i tried a hard reset, which sometimes helps.
but when i disconnect my charger/usb cable the phone goes off within a few secs.
i tried with 3 batteries, all result the same so can't be that i think.
As my understanding your device doesnt boot as long you are pluged to power isnt it? if I am right try this:
clean the contact point of your battery and contact clips on your device (golden clips) use a pcb board cleaner
lets say the power is at 90% but wouldn't boot.
but when connected with usb/power it does load, and needs to stay connected till the 'enter pin'-screen prompts.
i think this issue is related to an unstable mix of rom/ram/radio information.
after i tried some custom cooked images everything seems fine
Hey guys,
I have the Bootloader all happy and running but after flashing the Radio (I did this because I thought it would fix random crashes and GPRS crashing) the OS just hangs in boot even after hard resetting.
How do I go about flashing when in Bootloader mode?
Cheers,
Callum
EDIT: I tried with the TTY app (mtty) but it fails to show a USB port. I noticed that Windows XP just sits on acquiring network address.
Hey.
You must deactivate AcitveSync --> "Allow USB Connections" and kill all ActiveSync Processes.
If you have Vista you need other Drivers. Search in google 'VistaRUU'.
You could Flash VIA SD Card from Bootloader, just try to search a little bit in google.

If you have installed in the past Hard SPL, you should be able to flash a new ROM from the bootloader screen. Simply choose Hard SPL on the installer.

If you've Hard SPLed your hermes, try the sd card method. 1st, you need to back up your card, format it fat 32 then copy the .nbh file onto from the rom of your choice. rename the nbh file to "Hermimg.nbh" then insert into phone. put hermes into bootloader and follow the prompts. this will reflash another os. Hope this gets you out of your pickle... cheers
Im using DeepShining X4 rom. all of a sudden when i was switching tabs, my phone froze, so i soft reset and it would get past the Touch Pro2 screen.. i left it for at least 10 minutes and nothing. so i reset it again.. again.. 3-4 times, with the same result.. idk why, but i went into bootloader mode [vol down+power+reset] got the tri color screen, and found no hard reset option so i naturally soft reset.. this time, i got past the Touch Pro2 welcome screen and it went on to the other two welcome screens, but stops at the windows one.. wtf is going on?! how can i flash another rom without accessing my files?? alsdkjflaskdj. someone please help, im freaking the eff out.
You don't need to flash a new ROM, just hard reset manually. Turn off the device completely (yank the battery if necessary). Now, press the power button, the send key, and the end key all at the same time. You should get a prompt instructing you how to hard reset. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
Somehow your windows has become corrupt. It is digital media afterall and it does happen. No need to freak out. You will get through it.
As DaveTheTytnIIguy said pull the battery, let sit a few minutes, reinstal and then while holding the end and send buttons at the same time push the power button. Follow instrucions on the screen. I think it says push volume up to do a hard reset.
You will loose any apps and files that were stored to the phone. Anything from the SD card will be fine but will have to be reinstalled to get it working.
If you made a backup of your phone you could now load this and then everything would be back to the way it was. This is why I do weekly backups and load everything to storage card. It also helps to backup the storage card once in a while as they have been known to go bad as well.
Hey, xda-devs.
I need a bit of help. I was trying to flash Eclair 2.1 Polymod to NAND on my AT&T Tilt on T-Mobile's USA network. I was previously using Dutty's Diamond v1 and Myn's Warm Donut from haret.exe
Unfortunately, I was kind of stupid while flashing - I decided I was going to flash KAISIMG.nbh *before* I actually put the /andboot folder on there. (This was due to a lack of research on my part because I only looked at one how-to which omitted the /andboot step.)
"Well that's fine," I thought, "I'll just put the /andboot on there with the polymod inside and re-flash KAISIMG.nbh!" I did this, and it's still not working... which doesn't make alot of sense to me. My KAISIMG.nbh has no issue flashing, but when I restart the phone I get stuck at the first HTC splash with the planet & whatever.
I've tried multiple panels for the KAISIMG.nbh, I made sure nothing else was on the SD card, and I even tried a hard reset of my phone, still to no avail.
So tell me, xda-devs. Did I brick my phone? I don't think I did because it actually powers on and all that jazz, it just won't load the android install program.
dont think it is bricked
if you can get into the 3 colored bootloader screen it is not bricked. just flash wince rom and you should be able to use your phone again.
if you flashed an android nbh you should get the linux logo and see bunch of text scroll over your screen. it you hit the dpad you should get into the installer menu.
Maybe you didn't actually flash the nbh?
did you get into the tri colored bootloader screen and then did you hit power when prompted?
the android kaiser nbh normally doesn't have a splash screen, so your old wince splashscreen will remain.
hope this help, more details from your part would help us help you.
Hey, thanks for replying
Yes, I get the tri-color screen but I'm not getting the linux logo or anything of the sort. I'm getting the old splash screen that came with the phone. When I passed the tri-colored screen I get the prompt to press the power button, then it flashes KAISIMG.nbh, (Although it says something like "File - KAISIMG.nbh" and "OS - " then nothing after OS... dunno if that helps)
But I'm glad to know I didn't brick it!
I experimented with various KAISIMG.nbh files found here. I believe those are Android KAISIMGs although I don't know since I can't read them with my text editor.
It could be the problem I have once in a while on my Kaiser. Try removing the battery and hold down the power button. Put the battery back in and turn on your kaiser. You should start seeing the scrolling text.
As far as I know that's normal. Happens once in a while.

Negative, no change... How long should I hold it down?
You're holding down the button to release any power left in your phone. Sometimes, it can be a hit or a miss.
If all else fails, invoke the loader by holding down power button + camera button, and then press the reset button with the stylus. Do this quickly when you turn on your phone, and you can problem load WM back onto your phone.
I think Android needs a custom HardSPl on Kaiser.
As far as the old splash screen is concerned, thats normal, flashing the nbh does not replace the splash screen, after flashing the nbh you usually have to pull the battery, wait a bit, then restart the phone, it takes a little time before the linux kernel boots the lcd panel, so at first it shows the splash screen for some time.
The screen will go weird briefly, followed by the scrolling text as linux kernel boots, watch for the 'hold dpad to enter installer' line, then press dpad centre button.
Don't worry about the need for a 'custom' HSPL, the hard-spl most of us use seems to work fine for majority of users, also although radio 1.71.09.01 is recommended, android will work fine with earlier radios, some even say it works better with some earlier radios, ( can't confirm this, since I seem to have no problems with anything radio related).
If you need to reflash WM, you can do this either using the bootloader in usb mode, or by putting a WM rom in SD renamed to kaisimg.nbh and flash by doing the power+camera method.

Yeah, that's the problem - I've flashed the .nbh, then taken the battery out for 10+minutes (including the method mentioned above of draining the power) but the screen never changes from the first splash page. I never get the scrolling text.
EDIT: I have a theory that maybe I should try the Panel 1 kaisimg.nbh instead of Panel 2 but since I don't have a computer that has a micro-SD slot it's a pain in the ass getting files on/off of there so I'll have to try it later. I'm also going to try with another built (Probably Myn's) to see if that works.
I got myself a cheap sd card reader and microsd adapter, makes life so much easier, however if you don't have access to one at the moment, just remove any sd in the phone, disable activesync, put the phone in bootloader, connect to usb cable, flash a WM rom, ( try a Stock HTC one from the wiki pages, this wipes everything, os,bootsplash,radio and gets rid of any traces of any custom roms).
And try running from SD to identify your panel type, etc, saves some time when flashing nand if you don't have to guess
