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.

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.....
Solution for getting stuck in bootloader
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen
Hi! I have recently flashed my hp ipaq hx2410 to wm2005, the update process went fine but the device doesn't boot anymore. It shows the loading bar and it gets stuck when it fills up. I have tried hard reseting it but the problem persists. I can't flash it because active sync doesn't "see" it anymore... just a local area connection X - limited or no conectivity. What can I do ? Is there a way to boot the device in some sort of flash mode or something? Thank you very much
I had to do hard reset about 3 times when upgrading my hx2490B.

I have done a lot of hard resets but the device still gets stuck.
Another thing... I did not hard reset the device before de WM05 rom update. I thought it should do that by itself.
And second... If I get it to work I want to flash it to WM06. I have the rom but are there some special steps to be followed for this update ?
My pda still gets stuck in the bootloader and then the backlight turns off. Should I leave it that way untill the battery is completely flat ?
Some people say that removing the battery for 24 hours may help.
Try that.
When i flashed my 2490 i did format the device and than did the flash.
But I don't think that matters cause the first time when i did flash i didn't format the drive and it was OK.

I'll remove the battery then and see tommorow. The main question is: is my device completely dead or is it "resurectable" ? I don't think that it need servicing .... but ... just asking
Thank you for the replies. If the batterry removal fix works I'll post here. In the meantime any other possible sollutions are welcome.
My pda still doesn't boot. I have removed the battery for 24 hours and nothing. I have drained the battery and nothing. Did numerous hard resets and still no result. Can anyone help me ?
Just an idea (since I had to do this yesterday) maybe try formatting the device.
After flashing 4PDA ROM to my device it would get stack on the same screen as yours. After formatting it all went OK and I had WM6.
For my device I had to click calender + power + messaging + reset, release reset - release all.

I flashed my phone a couple of weeks ago with Schaps 4.31 Rom. It has been working a treat ! This is the first time I flashed a phone and I followed MR.Vanx instructions.
All was working fine untill yesterday. I had my 3rd freeze of the day. Oh well I thought, thats 3 in 2 weeks never mind must just be having a bad day.
It got worse. I soft reset my phone and now all I get is the Olipro bootloader 3 colour screen ! So I took the battery out and left it for 2 hrs. Still the same.
Whats wrong with it ?
Does this happen like that ?
Can I recover or do I need to flash again or is this permanent ?
HELP HELP HELP
Anyone know ? Phoen still not working. Can someone help ?

<Sarcasm mode> Thanks. Like I never thought to look there. </Sarcasm mode>
I was more interested in the other questions I asked ... IE is this normal after 2 weeks operation ? etc
no, shouldnt happen like that. try putting the .nbh file on a sd card after formatting fat 32. rename to hermimg.nbh then put in phone. if you're in bootloader it should automatically start the flash. this should get you out of bootloader and back into windows. make sur ebattery is more than 50% by putting on to charge for awhile first. hope this helps. Cheers.
Thanks for the response.
I think I can do it via USB as usual I am just waiting for the phone to charge a bit first. Obviously with no OS I have no idea how much battery % it has !! DOH !
Oh well I will post back for those interested once I know if it is goign to work or not !
Previously been stuck on bootloader before, and I just flashed a different ROM via USB. This worked fine for me. Would also try what ultramag69 said previously
Suggested sd as this has become my favourite way of flashing. No chance of NASTY accidents like computer resets, someone unplugging usb or other little things t5hat seem to happen to people as they flash there precious hermes. Sorry if this sounds like a hard sell but I really believe this is the safest way to flash your device. I've even flashed below 50%... Plugged in power. Was in a rush and had no time. Its never failed while I have had bricks and glitches with the usb. And thats my two cents......
Well it just gets stranger, I waited untill the phone was fully charged. It was plugged in to PC via usb swtiched off so I could see the charge light go green. When I switched the phone on with USB connected to go to bootloader screen to reflash, it booted windows !
Its now working fine ! I did nothing except charge it.
How very dare it !
Suggest you check the device for bad blocks.
Put the device into bootloader, start mtty.exe
connect to USB and run the command "Info 8".....this will report if the device has bad blocks (three should turn up even on a normal device).
then run "task 2a" to fix any bad blocks that are evident.
It might be worth flashing a new ROM to it to overwrite any corrupted sectors, just as a precautionary measure?
Have you tried hard resetting the device by holding the 2 left and right buttons (below the screen) and then reseting with the stylus?
This will then ask if you want to reset to factory..or if you have a cooked ROM reset back to the cooked ROM?
Helped me out and then promptly re-ROM'd the thing...
Hope this helps.....

Ok had a problem today JASJAM seemed to loose phone reception has done this before , since I had the offical Telstra ROM on there for some time thought I would re-install , however stopped at 12% then was stuck on bootloader, tried the SD card method above get through the IPL , BOOTLOADER SPLASH 1&2 and EXTROM but seems to stay on GSM in the list any ideas as to what the problem maybe?
You need to loas SPL 1.01 MFG, then connect using MTTY.EXE.
after issueing:
USB>task 32 (you will get)
Level = 0 (now issue)
USB>set 14 0
USB>task 8
p.s. if you have other than SPL 1.01 MFG, you may need to use set 16 0 or other value. Do search.
Now the device should boot, if it does not:
Press the soft keys (the ones below CONTACTS and CALENDAR) together with the RESET. The device should go through installing windows procedure.
Good luck.
Simple.

here is hardSPL
and here are the shipped roms
or official AT&T rom with radio stripped out (safer)
Tried ATT rom..But it didn't work

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.

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....
I have done hard reset and now I m stuck at white screen .....
Is it bricked?

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.

Hi,
My diamond was water damaged a while ago, I let it dry out for a couple of weeks and it did not work, I bought a new diamond and tried the battery in my old one and to my amazment it started up, well to the touch diamond screen anyway, it didn't display any red writing and the sreen stayed on but went black after that. I though the radio must have been gone so put it in the bootloader and tried to flash the same radio I had before 1.17, the white screen came up and all went fine but still the same problem!
I really need the data on my internal storage and so need to at least be able to read that. I don't care about it working forever thats why I bought another one as a doner!
Could someone please tell me what happened and how to fix it! Why does it not get past this? Also I have hard reset it, reflashed the original ROM successfully, reflashed hardspl and reflashed the Stock SPL but it still does the same!
In case it helps the bootloader says:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Wrong Platform(v0x0)
Does anyone know how to, or if there is any way to read the internal storage from the bootloader? I know the phone can read it to flash a ROM from it so why not to get my files off? I can get it into the bootloader so does anyone know any software that can help me to read the files and get them off?
Thanks.
HardSPL HTC repair
Also I called HTC and they said they could try and repair it but I'm not sure about sending it to them as I do want my data but it has HardSPL installed although they did say due to it being water damaged it is an out of warrenty repair and would cost me. Does it matter then if HardSPL is installed as I'm paying for it? I didn't ask them as I wasn't sure. Is there any way to install the stock SPL from the bootloader? As I did try but it didn't seem to work! I am not willing to destroy it further as some people do as I need the data.

if you wahck it in the microwave and swap the stickers around (Serial one under the battery) you ca nclaim on warranty, and end up with 2 new Diamonds
pls, a rescue ? I have the same problem, my HTC worked perfectly, till i broke the display, I've fixed it, it worked, but after a day ot two,...it crashed. And I get the same message when I enter the bootloader.
Infinite restart / reboot loop
What a pity! Any progress in this topic?
I have also this same problem. My Diamond crashed a while ago. It happened suddenly after I activated the WiFi module during normal daily use. The unit restarted itself and stucked in an infinite restart loop since then. I reflashed everything possible with success (also stock ROM), radio ROM etc. No way - the unit is rebooting and rebooting in the very same restart loop.
So I can not access the internal storage and can not save my data. Though there are no pictures of my new-born son, but there are some important files and notes I would love to save, but how?
Is there any possibility to access the internal torage from the bootloader?
Is it maybe possible to open the unit - voiding the warranty - and resolder the internal flash storage on another diamond (a working one)?
I suppose there is some problem with the radio, which causes the reboot. The remaining parts are probably OK. Maybe there is some way to deactivate the radio (WiFi module) from the bootloader (MTTY tool)?
Any hints highly apprechiated!!
Thanks guys!

Hi,
Perhaps you could flash another rom to it. but remember you need to clear the ram with mtty before flashing the new rom. get the diamond unlock tool from olipro (its there in the stickies, i guess) and/or flash new radio series then install the new rom of your choice.
Have a shot, and tell us how it goes.
thanks.
