PLEASE HELP to revive dead e-ten. HAVE MERCY!

Hi guys. I know I know, wrong place, but maybe some one here could help too! Just maybe.. You guys are very smart peps here. You've helped me with many XDA's I own. And I'm just hoping you wouldn't let me down this time too. Any way I’ve killed my eten (typhoon my guide m500 German) and hoping some one could help me to bring it back to life. Please understand that I have exhausted all my resources in order to find the solution my self but came up empty handed. I have read every single post in this forum as well as few others in order to find the solution. And now I am hoping that some one could help. I may have overlooked some little but important piece of info. Please except my apologies if this request may be annoying.
This is what happened and what I’ve done about it.
I’ve got Typhoon MyGuide m500 (E-Ten m500) Original rom was German.
The reason I say “was” is since I had german OS that I can’t read it I wanted to flash the device with WWE Rom. But the device would not accept any other rom and at the time of reflashing through RUU, I get message “the os image is not compatible with your device”. I understand a lot of people have this problem, but still, some succeed. I have tried all the possible roms that are available there. I’m sure you’ve heard that before too Finally I’ve succeeded in flashing CHT WM2003 rom that came with WM 5 Rom update for downgrade purposes. But, I can’t read chinese either so I tried to flash wwe at this time. Hoping that chinese rom would allow upgrades in different language. But the upgrade went bad I’ve ended up with formatted e-ten with no OS installed. It was only showing white screen when turned on or it would boot into boot loader when soft reset and power was pressed.
At that time, since the device would not boot and I couldn’t active sync it, I’ve tried SD flashing with RescueDLX.bin. As well USB download utility. It flashed the device, but I was stuck at the green m500 screen when tried booting. So that didn’t work either. I’ve tried SD flashing with temp.dat saved as .bin from all possible roms, including the first chineese that worked once for me. But again, I got “the os image is not compatible with your device”
Well, here is where I’ve screwed up big time. Since the rescueDLX.bin was actually flashing into my device, and I was not getting “the os image is not compatible with your device” message, I’ve opened the rescueDLX.bin with Hex Editor, copied first 400 bytes of the header, then using Hex Editor opened the temp.dat from WWE rom update that I wanted to use and pasted this 400 bytes from rescuedlx.bin over the first 400 bytes of temp.dat file and saved it as a bin. Then copied on SD card, put it in the device, entered into the boot loader and started flashing process. Amazingly, I didn’t get the “the os image is not compatible with your device” message! But worst thing happened The boot loader was going through all the check lists and everything was ok but device froze at the last one, “looking for FPTP” or something like that.. Apperantly I copied to much stuff or it just plain incompatible. Well, now my device would not even load into the boot loader! I think I’ve erased it too So no more updating for me, that is for a sure not through RUU, not through USB Update Utility that I found on etens forum, and not even through SD with devices internal boot loader. There isn’t one anymore
So here we go, I’ve got really nice looking paper weight Oh, and I can use it as a flash light too When turned on, the screen lights up with bright white light
So any way, can any body help?! Is there any way to revive this thing? Or the road is straight to manufacturer? I don’t think I even have a warranty on this device; it’s in brand new condition, but its second hand. So I have only one hope that some smart gurus of this forum would show mercy and would help! Like I said, I’ve researched all over the internet, all forums, even xda developers and spv developers forums, but this is different device. Deferent rules… But I know it’s doable, I’ve seen posts that others did it! So please, share how you guys did it!
Thank you in advance. And sorry for such a long post!

XDA dead on rom update

Hi
I have just tried to update the rom on my xda exec (downloaded from the o2 microsite) it seems to load fine, but when i do a reboot I just get a wierd green & red speckled screen.
I have tried to update the rom twice now, once when the xda was on, & once from the bootloader screen.
Both times it seems to install correctly, but i get the strange screen.
HELP!!!
Add. My battery seemed to go to about 30% whilst i was updating. Could it be the battery? Can't charge it now to test. Can still get in bootloader screen.
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks

Same Here
I have exactually the same problem!
I downloaded the latest ROM from the My-XDA webiste (O2 Ireland) and it supports the XDA Exec as sold in UK and Ireland.
The upgrade goes fine but when I hard reset it just get a fuzzy screen full of red/green spots (lise interferance on a TV).
Have reinstalled the ROM from another PC and the same thing.
Can access the bootloader (v2.01) with no problem.
Have downloaded the ROM from another PC and tried from there and same thing?
Can anyone help?
Is there a known good ROM file that someone has used to rule out the file, as the XDA was fine until I ran the update.
Please help,
IrishLad

search be4 post

Update
I have tried 2 other ROM's on my XDA Exec and its exactually the same issue.
Once it gets flashed successfully and reboots i get the hazed screen which i cannot use. So its not the ROM file.
Has anyone got help with this, I have searched the posts already and found no solution that it why I have posted this thread.
Please Help,
Thanks,
IrishLad

So its not just me then! Thought I had cocked it up.
If this has already come up in these forums, I cant find it. Please at least send link to the previous problem if it is in here somewhere.
My XDA is dead!
Many thanks for your time & knowledge
Mark

O2 XDA EXEC WM6 crossbow
Rom version : 2.02.00 WWE
ROM date : 03/10/07
Radio ROM : 1.15.00
Protocol version : 42.51.P8
ExtROM :UNLOCKED

the screen is funky but the xda is dead
I too am having this problem and am getting very frustrated.
I have searched the forum for hours and am not getting any closer to a sollution.
If anyone has resolved this problem in the past please send me a private message. I will love you forever if you do.

I had the same problem i think its a dodgy rom on the O2 website
I went into boot mode and used this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297256
Works a treat and is loads better than the normal o2 Rom

Thanks for the feedback
I have tried a few ROM's already with no success.
I will however try the ROM you posted and let you know if it works...
Thanks,
IrishLad

IT WORKED!
Not sure how, or why this worked.
But i installed the Crossbow ROM as listed previous and its working.
And can I just say the Exec is brillant now, its much faster, more responsize and works perfectly.
Thanks for the info, but I had tried 2 different ROM's previously and they never worked let I used one previously with no problems.
Either way I am now staying with Mobile 2006.
Thanks,
IrishLad

Stuck in Bootloader, need help.

First I'd just like to thank everyone in this community that helps me have the coolest and most useful device around. This forum is a wealth of information and there's no way I can describe how much I appreciate the work all of you put in. I do however have a problem that I am hopeful to help get resolved.
I installed LVSW 3.30 Cingular on my phone last night and it had been working fine although earlier I noticed that my ringtones seemed to be stuttering. When I got home today I started to add my programs back to my device since I didnt have a chance to last night. I started with Spb Pocket Plus, Weather, and Phone Suit, and Core Media Player.I then soft reset the device to complete installation and..... I can't get out of bootloader!
I tried soft-reseting the device with the hold ok/power button stylus method,then tried taking the battery out and in. That left me in bootloader. I then tried reinstalling LVSW 3.30 incase I had a bad install the first time but after install finished it stayed in bootloader where I repeated the soft reset. I then consulted the Wiki and tried the method for problem 4, "stuck in bootloader" to no avail. I've also been unable to find a like problem on the forum. I figure I probably have a bad boot sector or something to that effect but dont know how to resolve it. I have a Herm100 SPL-2.10 Hard SPL. I thank anyone in advance who can help me recover my device and sincerely apologize if I missed this topic already being covered.

Here is the thread you need to fix the problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755

Cannot HARD Reset ???!!!!!

Hi Experts,
Would like to check whether anyone out there have ever encounter such problem?
I receive a rude shock this morning when I power on my 1 week old HTC HD which reads below:
"This concludes the beta test of this software release. Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers.
To obtain a newer release or further information, please revisit the web site that you used to obtain your current beta release."
I've flashed it with Dutty's Rom v1.8 and many other software which I use to have on my previous PDA. I son't think its coming from the ROM but maybe the software i installed. I remember the last few ones was Resco Explorer, Resco Pro viewer, FTP CLient...etc.
I tried many ways but just cannot seem to get rid of this screen as it appears right after any reset. So I decided to hard reset the phone but after going thru the procedure of holding the Vol up/down and power button, it just reboot like after a soft reset...and YES, it went back to the same screen!
Another thing, I couldn't get the phone to sync with my PC too.
What when wrong and what other method can I try? Any kind soul's advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

put your phone on bootloader mode(tricolour screen),then connect your usb cable,on your tricolour screen it should show you USB,when you see it on the screen(on your phone)then you can flashing rom.
Hope this help

Thanks for the advice, you are right. Its the Time Bomb for Dutty's ROM v1.8.
Just manage to get the new ROM and flash it. Have to re-install the bunch of softwares i did earlier as i didn't read carefully that there's a time bomb.
Thanks again for the advice.
Cheers

yes it's a problem with the OS version used unknown by the cooker. It has been corrected. It is mentioned the Dutty 1.8 thread. Since Dutty 1.9 is out seems good time for an upgrade.

you have to put the CAB file on your memory card,when you flashing the new rom,you have to install all software back your phone

Can you be a bit more specific
Hi
Can you please do a little step by step thing. I am having this problem. What do i do once i am in tricolour screen after USB is displayed at bottom of screen.
Thanks in advance

Energy ROM semi bricked my Dash, help needed! (And appreciated)

Hello everyone, I am really new to this forum having received the Dash 2 days ago. Looking to get it up to speed I flashed the 6.5 Energy Rom according to instructions. I think that was a very bad move, because now the cellphone is stuck on the Loading Energy Rom screen. I have searched the forum for answer and have already tried the following:
1- Entering bootloader and flashing original ROM. No luck because EVERY rom I have gotten, be it from here and T-Mobile, it says invalid vendor ID.
2-Tried to perform a hard reset. Did not work.
3-Flash the original ROM through the memory card. No avail.
The phone cannot connect to active sync, so I can't install any cooked ROMS. I think the solution is installing the original ROM by the bootloader, but I cant seem to find a compatible one. My cell information is the following:
Bootloader screen info: ONBL 1.22.0000 SPL 1.22.0000 IU
EXCA 100 S/N SZ713FE05873.
Is there any way with that information someone can tell me which ROM to use? Or any other tip/hint/suggestion? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I have the same Bootloader screen info: ONBL 1.22.0000 SPL 1.22.0000 IU value and i was able to restore my phone to working status with the following ROM

That's odd, I was able to restore my Excalibur/Dash after flashing the corrupted EnergyRom.
Hope you will find a way to resolve your problem.
10507

But how did you do it? Flashing it through USB or through the memory card? The weird thing is that when I run the EXE the cellphone that appears in the picture of the program is an SDA. But well I will try it again and thank you for the help!

I used bootloader method and connected my phone through USB for flashing. Remember to remove your memory card when flashing.

well, I've been in your situation for almost 3 days now, and still no solution for it, maybe it's time to put it in the box and purchase a new one , all thanks to the broken EnergyROM ...

Ok guys. Don't give up. Believe it or not, a Dash is NOT easy to brick like some other devices. the steps are fairly clear but let me refresh:
- Go into bootloader by holding the camera button and powering on the phone
- Connect the USB cable, you will hear the ba-bing USB connect sound on your PC (if u don't thats why you're having issues flashing)
- Download and unpack a "factory sealed" signed ROM. I use this one: http://rapidshare.com/files/7886560...S_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe.html
- With USB connected and the phone in the multicolor bootloader, run RomUpdateUtility.exe, check the boxes, it next, bla bla bla.
- It will look for your device for 20 seconds. then hit "update" and next.
- It should then start flashing the Excalibur Brightpoint Factory ROM back onto your phone
- If you can't get this far or it fails, try a different PC or Flash from the SDcard
** NOTE: If flashing from USB, REMOVE the SD CARD! This is the biggest mistake of most people trying to flash from USB.
Good luck.

Thanks ookba for cheering us up. I'm having the same problem like many, many people in this forum hopeless seeing our dash not responding to every solution proposed in this forum and the only thing that we have right now is keep trying to flash and see if it works. I will try again in different PC and see what happens. I'll let all of you know if I finally resurrect my s621.

Thanks everyone for all the help! It's hard to find people that are so helpful on internet forums. I'm still in the same situation as gmaniac and alexalexoe but hopefully we can find something that will fix our problems

This problem is ridiculously weird to why some members are able to restore their phone to original factory condition, and others are not able. Therefore, I have search from trustworthy sites and from friends for difference made ROM. Hopefully, one of these ROMs with help out anyone...........

Thanks 105507 but no success at all, I even found 2 more factory roms in the web and also they don't work. I own an unbranded international version s621 manufactured by Brightstar corporation (I tried to flash Brightstar's stock rom but it didn't work) and I noticed this because in the warranty docs it says brigthstar corporation and originally the phone came with WM5.

not that this will help. but this is one of the reasons why people should be really installing the hardspl so if you have a bad flash, you dont have to install a stock rom. any rom whether be it cooked or not will work. but this hardspl must be done prior to installing ANY rom. the hard spl is done by jockyw2001. send him a pm to see if theres anyway to get that on the phone, even in its current state.
edit: here's the link to the hardspl: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605

I'm trying to find the original rom of this line but not found. Please help me!

Have you done a reset? My friend fixed his by trying reset a few times. He reset it, walked away...., it took long time to see whether it booted over; if not, do it again...
By the way, he leave the sim card in; and, you need to remove your micro sd card.

On an official site it is possible download ROM for your phone. It is flashing from bootloder mode. It some times helped me, while I have not flashed hard SPL.
