DOPOD 900 dead after upgrade

My DOPD - bought in China was running a chinese version of WM5.0 and I wanted to install a english version.
After upgrading my DOPOD 900 with the upgrade : Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip I have problem.
It is really DEAD. soft reset does nothing and a hard reset only gives the option of "0" and "X" which do nothing.
the USB is no longer recognised and nothing seems to want to communicate with the Dopod. It seems the USB loader program is no longer running on the Dopod.
Has anybody any idea how I can attach to the device an install a new bootloader, or something.

I had the same issue and I have a solution. But, let me tell you my process that got me where you are.
I tried performing the update using the No_ID (or whatever) method and kept getting errors. I rebooted my PC and changed the Operator ID using the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.
After this, I was able to use the typical installer. The flash went fine and I hard reset as instructed. From that point on, I had your exact problem.
A dead screen. I was able to redo the hard reset after pulling the battery but I would just end up with the dead (blank) screen again. ONCE, I did get it into boot loader mode where I could actually read the screen. But, of course I reset and again had a dead screen.
My solution was to revert back to a true O2 ROM. Even though I couldn't see the screen (still can't), the ROM update is proceeding as I type this. I'm at 44% of the radio ROM installed.
Hope this gives you hope!

Well, good news. I just finished the ROM update and I'm looking at the O2 boot image.
Is there any indication that the QTek ROM looks for the Carrier info to be QTek or it will fail once installed? Just wondering why I had this problem.

ARG! Reflashing with QTek ROM did the same thing. :evil:
Blank screen and all.

check 2 things
uncheck usb from active sync
hardreset after upgrade has been completed
just do the upgrade again and it should come alive again

Thanks and another question
Well thanks for the hope. but I have tried this already with no luck, however after this message I will try again. My biggest problem is that I cant regain communication over the usb.
I would like to know how your system behaved when you plugged in your apparantely dead device. My system just says device un recognised and I cant begin a download with or without active sync.
So I cant get another rom image to download.

Nick

This was the first thing I did.
The problem is that I cannot get any communication over the USB.
The device is unrecognised on USB and after starting any ROM download it just timesout after "checking information from device" message .
Ever seen a dead USB interface like this ?
The USB PnP mgr sees the hardware but cannot establish the device type !!

@mobinick: You and I have the same situation.
I have 2 Universal dead like this. 1 Exec and 1 Jasjar.
Both dead, blank screen, can not enter bootloader, can not connect with PC. PC can not recognize the driver usb of the device.
I opened the phone and found that logically everything is so so. There is no clue about hardware.
So I think: the address of the bootloader with device ID maybe unlucky damaged.
Who can fix this problem pls share us some experience.
Thanksss

Why don't you guys take it to your respective service centres and get it fixed?
Even if you have to pay something, it will certainly be better than these bricks occupying table space.

Have you tried going back to an original O2 ROM? I went to 1.13.139 WWE and all is fine now.

Just to share my experience with you guys here:
I posted my problem way back during the Radio Upgrade from 1.04 to 1.06. My Dopod 900 got stuck on the splashscreen. I couldn't get my device to pass the splashscreen even after upgrading/downgrading the radio ROM back and forth two times.
Finally, I just forced my device into bootloader mode (Backlight+Reset+Power). Even after doing this, the dopod screen was completely blank (no indication of serial/usb letter on the screen). I downloaded the official O2 exec ROM and plug my device (in bootloader mode) back to the USB port. It said unrecognized port on my PC. Despite that, I reflashed my Dopod back with the NoID tool the complete O2 ROM (Radio, Main ROM & The extended). Once completed, my device regained its consciousness.
I managed to flashed back the 1.06 radio after that. And has since been upgraded 4 times (two i-mate, one Orange and the latest QTek ROM) with no problem whatsoever.

I had the exact same problem as you to guys, i tried to update it, and it wouldn't budge...
It constantly, without fail timed out... I tried everything...
As my hope started to wain, i gave it one last shot...
I took out everything, sim and sd and battery, then connect the battery back and from the bootloader menu, connected it to the pc, with usb cable...
Finally it worked!! Like normal, i was able to load any and all rom and radio updates...
Wouldn't work, from the normal working screen (which was working for a while, i later tested this out, and found out ) and also wouldn't work, from the bootloader (power+backlight+reset) with sim+flash in there....
Hope you guys have some luck.. I htink you should, because i was in the exact same boots as you guys...

It worked for me
My O2 Exec did exactly the same thing, and I spent (on and off) 24 hours trying to get the damn thing to go again - wouldnt charge either....
I too finally took out everything, SIM and sd and battery, then connect the battery back and from the bootloader menu (which I only found about from this site), connected it to the pc, with usb cable...
It worked as well - bloody brilliant. I now have the latest 02Exec Upgrade (Version 1.30.162 AKU2 Release) and all is great.
Cant believe that 2 days after logging email with O2 site, they have not responded...
Would almost kiss you guys.....

I just tried several previous official and un-official upgrades but none detected the universal.
Tried mtty methode too but nothing detected on USB port. (Killed active sync modules with task manager)
Tried several times to enter in bootloader mode but nothing displays on screen like before. Screen stays black.
I hope it isn't broken cause seems windows detected something pluged on the usb

your best bet with be take it back to your mobile phone vendor, because the motherboard is messed, and nothing can be done apart from replacing the motherboard

No other way to get it back in bootloader mode ?

since the bootloader is also overwritten with something from the BA ROM, it is improbable.

Hi !
I had a similar problem, but I am in bootloader mode, but I can't reflash my board. Does anyone knows how should I do ?
Thanks

Then try your official rom. (I put the custom RRU with the striped one).
Should work. If you can get into bootloader tisnt a perma brick.

also see this thread here, looks like the guy solved a problem like yours

Try flashing with SD card! Read through wiki to figure out how to flash through SD card.

I have tried SD card method...
But it shows bootloader with IPL / SPL version and "Serial" at bottom...
It dose't load any thing...
I have tried installing ATT official rom also.. but it says use updeted utility to flash....
I am able to go to bootloader and get USB connection when connect to PC....
But I don't have Activesync installe on PC is it a problem??? and I can't install active sync because of some restriction....
How to come out of this?
Is there any way I can Hard reset phone? Without switch on it?
Please help ...M scared....

ok, can you get into boot loader, press ok on left, and power on on right, and stick your stylus at the bottom, all together. Plug USB to PC, with boot loader screen, download the ATT rom mentioned here, and start the process. You have to have activesync 4.5 and .net 2.0 on your PC to have this to work.
Also, you have been given a link above for the official ATT without Radio, and here is the exact instructions on how to flash via SD. what part of any of these do you not understand?

Why would you perform a hard reset right after asking about it and not even waiting for an answer? If you had any doubts you should have just waited. I don't know much about your problem but I would't be taking the chance of doing something I wasn't sure about thats for sure. I really hope you can get out of this mess.

what size micro sd have u got. if it is larger than 2 or its a sdhc than you will not be able to flash sd method.
download another recent rom or just reflash the same dvha rom and do it through active sync on pc.

Finally got it working...
After 3 hard reset now I am out of white screen and now its working.
After 3 days
1. on splash screen
2. on bootloader
3. on white screen
Thank you everyone who have replied and who have atleast viewed.
learning:
Activesync is must for flashin through PC
new way to hard reset (thx wiki)
don't panic...your phone will be working sooner or later, if it was not a flshing that hanged it.
by d way i am posting from phone

Bricked hermes: Me=Experienced user/rom flasher - please help

Hello all. I've been flashing roms for ages and have ran into a strange problem. My buddy has an 8525 that I flashed a new rom onto (albeit ages ago. I think its one of CRCs older roms). I upgraded to Olipro 2.10 HardSPL and whatnot beforehand.
Now he started having an issue where he would see "No GSM". It would still boot windows. He gave me the phone to work on and I thought, hmm radio prob. So I looked on the Unbrick Your Hermes thread and found that I just need to flash the radio. I started the flash procedure as usual, but it just sat there at 0% for ages. I finally gave up and pulled the battery and tried to follow the recover procedure, but it didn't really work out as planned.
Now the phone just turns on to the tri color screen and says "USB" when its plugged in to the computer. The computer finds the device, but of course I can't get to it with activesync.
I tried to flash hardspl again and other stuff but the phone just sits there in the bootloader. I don't really know what the next step is and I don't want to make it worse, so I thought I'd just come and ask.
I will mention that I haven't worked with the low level stuff yet, nor do I completely understand all of the acronyms on the unbrick your hermes page.
Thanks all.

Just flash your phone(when in 3color mode-usb)with other radio or rom mate.
That is what i have done 3-4 days ago.

Did you try to flash from the SD card? I've had success that way when I was stuck.

flash using the sd card
paste the .nbh image an your card without creating any folder and rename it hermimg.nbh
the put the card into your phone and flash it directly from tri color mode
....

I tried the HERMIMG.nbh thing. I'm sure i've done it right, but nothing. When I turn the phone on by holding power/ok and pressing reset, it flashes "loading" for 1/1000 of a second and then just sticks on the tri color screen.

[Q] Stuck -> None of the SD install/updates are working anymore.

HTC TyTN II
KAIS130
SPL-1.98.0000
CPLD-8
I have eclair installed and several Radio related thinks, like sound wont work.
I am trying to go back to WM6.1 from HTC.
I tried KAISIMG.nbh installs from SDCard but nothing works.
I tried Radios WM6.1 and WM6.5
I always get stuck at a white screen witch says "Loading..."
What else can I do?

I believe your problem is same with mine
I'm not sure myself but I guess it gets stuck in loading because there are no hard SPL installed anymore.
it says that you got SPL-1.98.0000.... not a hard one isn't it?
If I'm not mistaken, SD install only works with hard SPL.
but we should be able to flash a stock rom via usb cable.
prompt your bootloader -> connect via usb cable -> flash your stock rom
but i have tried 2 rom which is
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship
and RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.02.405.0_radio_sign_25.70.30.05_1.58.26.20
none of them works.. always stuck at 1 % of the process and gives me error notification [294] : invalid vender ID.
well, I hope this could give a little help for you
good luck..
