Help neede - Bricked XDA Orbit - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi Eveyone
Help needed please.
I came by an XDA Orbit that refuses to work. The symptoms are as follows:
1. When power button is pressed to turn it on the 02 Splash screen comes on for about 3 seconds then some red writing flashes up on the top left of the screen. The phone then turns off. No matter what I do it always does this. Once I have been through this sequence once it won't turn on at all. The only way I can get it to work is to take the battery out for about 30 seconds and re-insert but it never gets passed the splash screen.
2. I can get it to go in to the boot loader mode (multi coloured screen) and if connected to my PC will show USB in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. However Activesync will not recognise it and I therefore can't upgrade the ROM to try and fix it.
3. I have tried to flash the rom from SDHC card but nothing happens
Anybody got any ideas or is it screwed?
Thanks for your help

just read the last line here

Bricked XDA Orbit
So if you can't flash from a SDHC card how are you supposed to do it?
Is there any other way I can flash the XDA orbit or get it tom connect to my computer so I can flash it
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

you can flash it with sd
sdhc means sd high capacity and they are about 8,16gb
there are MILLIONS of threads about bricked devices,and at least a third of them is answered...please read before posting

Can't get to bootloader!

When ever I try to get to bootloader mode, my phone just comes up to the tri-color screen. I press and hold the left OK key along with the power button, then do a soft reset. I only get to the tri-color screen. Can someone help me out with this please...I'm trying to upgrade to a WM6.1 rom on my 8525 via SD card.

The tri-color screen IS the bootloader. I have found with my 8525, that if you turn the device off (power button for 5 seconds, then tap OK), all you need do is hold the side OK and the power button together for a few seconds. No need to find the reset hole if the device is OFF.
If you have an SD card in the device (with a copy of HERMIMG.NBH on it), the Tri-Color screen will come up, searching the card. When the NBH file has been found, it will show you the various parts that the file includes, and prompt you to press the power button to begin.
It's really easy this way. I rarely flash through USB anymore.
Hope this helps,

Wow..thanks for the speedy response. I'll give it a try. Thanks again.
When I try to upgrade via SD, the bootloader never reads the SD card, it just sits...and says serial at the bottom of the screen.
When I try to upgrade via USB, after I start the RUU, the active sync connection is broken, and the phone goes into the bootloader screen and just sits...and says USB at the bottom of the screen.
If anyone has had this problem, please let me know. If not..I guess I'll just have to go out and buy a Tilt.
Current ROM: 2.15.502.3
Current Radio: 1.40.30.00
SUCCESS!!!!
Thanks for your help. My company has the firewall on and it, for some reason was killing my active sync connection. I was able to upgrade via USB. And this ROM is looking great starbase64

1) Is your SD card freshly formatted (FAT32)?
2) have you installed HardSPL? If not, do it.
3) Are you sure you spelled the name of the NBH correctly? HERMIMG.NBH
4) Copy HERMIMG.NBH to the root of your SD card
5) Shut off the device (power off all the way)
6) Insert the SD card with only the one file (HERMIMG.NBH) on it
7) Press the side OK button and the power button simultaneously for a couple of seconds
8) your device should start up, and the bootloader will look for the HERMIMG.NBH file
9) If all the above is done corectly, your device SHOULD find the NBH and tell you what parts it contains, then ask you if you wish to proceed, by pressing the power key. If this isn't happening for you, I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions for you.

Others HAVE had this problem. You need to disable one of the settings in ActiveSync, but I don't remember which one. Try doing a search under the main HERMES forum, including all subforums. This is one of those questions that gets asked a lot, so be prepared to sift through all the repetitive threads (GOD, if only people would SEARCH first!).

when you say copy the .nbh file to the root of the SD card what exactly do you mean. When i put the SD card in there and format it its completely empty with nothing there, then the only option i have is open the SD card folder and put it in there, is that correct?
okay so i just did the SD card flashing, said on the screen it was flashing and did the whole thing fine. Told me it was complete so i pressed the power the button to restart the phone and no matter how many times i restart the phone it just boots into Tri color screen and says serial at the bottom.
I tried soft reset and removing the battery no matter how many times i do it, always comes back to Tri color screen.. help!

Hmmm, I typically do a RESET after the flash process completes. Never tried shutting down using the power button. So now your device is stuck in BL? I'm not sure of the procedures you need to try to escape that one, but I KNOW it's been discussed here in the forums. You MIGHT try flashing a different ROM. It might be the simplest way to recover. If that doesn't work, you might want to check the Wiki HERE.
Good luck!

Bricked my damn Axim X50V Need Help

So i was following the thread on upgrading from win 2003 to wm6 and for some reason after doing a hard reset, it wont come back on. When i plug it in, the power light is orange but the axim wont come on at all. My computer wont recognize it either.
I read some where about JTAG? Can someone please help me? If needed, i can paypal a little cash.
Thank you
Can you put it in boot loader mode? Tried reflashing?
same thing happened to me the first time i did the upgrade on my x50v. re-try the boot loader (from sd card) and make sure it stays on. i just plugged mine in, put the sd card in, and entered boot loader again an' it worked like a charm.
aside: can i suggest sticking w/ wm5, instead of 6? i have a bug with my wifi where it won't connect after i turn the wifi on, but if i turn pda power off, then back on it connects immediately.

Upgrade ROM code error

I have flashed many Custome ROM's before. I have HardSPL installed on my phone.
I tried flashing to a ROM (I forget which one now, I think Cloudfa or something) and it stopped at about 15%. The Update utility stopped as well.
I cannot connect to bootloader at all. I tried holding down on Volume down/Reset to enter bootloader, but the thing is that it's already in bootloader with the message "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again"
ActiveSync doesn't see my phone either. In fact all it does is just sit on the bootloader screen with that error...
Please Help... Thanks You...
A normal soft reset still brings you back to Bootloader?
What happens when you plug in your device? Does it not change from serial to USB at the bottom?

Sorry. Yes it does show USB when plugged in, but won't respond to anything that I have tried software wise. It does not switch from this bootloader/error screen at any point. Even after I pull my battery and turn it back on...
I have yet to come across a thread which has this exact problem...

Have you tried flashing a different ROM while in bootloader?
^^ Yes. It give me an error on my computer...
I would like to try the internal flashing method but I don't seem to have a way of getting at my Storage Card.
I found this thread with a similar problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480022
I WAS just able to get off of that screen I was talking about, but the best I get is to the Touch Diamond Screen that lists my ROM and such. So no real progress.
I have a feeling that I would resolve my problem if I could Flash from the Interanl Storage...
Have you tried hard resetting the device?
Pull out stylus and Holding....1) Vol. Down 2) Center Round button 3) then press red button aka soft reset with stylus
Nothing...

issue on bootloader screen

Hey guys I was flashing the rom on my tilt 2, and I had a damn power outage / surge, the computers went off and back on. But now I am stuck on this bootloader screen and I am having issues hard resetting and soft etc.
I read somewhere others had mentioned they were able to flash off of the sd, how can i do this considering i can not connect to the pc via usb, everytime i turn on the phone its simply stuck on the multicolor screen. Also when i try to hard reset it goes to a screen real quick and says no image error or something.
Anyone have any ideas?
Need this phone fixed, wife is close to delivering our baby, and it would suck to be off the grid for a few days.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mill
would this be considered to be a brick?
screen says :
RUUNBH in upper right corner.
Then RHOD300 32M MI-BC
SPL-0.85.01 iNex
MicroP(LED)
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
Turbo HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
When your on tri color screen try plugging it up to the pc and look at the bottom of your screen to see if usb shows up if it does then you still can flash in this mode
thanks will give it a shot, it does in fact say usb on the white block

Then flash away my friend
You can buy a USB card reader for around $10-$15 that will read various card formats, including MicroUSB. Then you can move the RHODIMG.nbh file from your PC to the root directory of the SD card. Then run the bootloader without the phone connected to the PC, and it should flash the .nbh file from the SD card.
The card reader is good to have around anyway. I had a similar problem, where I couldn't connect flash from the PC for some reason, and I had no way of moving the .nbh file to my SD card, since I had already run Task29 to wipe my phone.
yeah i was able to re flash the hardspl. but now i am stuck on the rom splash page instead of the tri-color screen. want move off of that screen,
says
B 80
R 4.48.25.20
G 61.39tc.25.30U
D 1.92.74508
-
I cant seem to get it to do anything right now as far as via the usb. Or hard reset
So how do i go about making the phone load from the micro sd card first instead of the phone? Or does it do that as the 1st boot device?
Thx in advance

No problem man i'm glad i was able 2 help you

how do i know if i bricked my phone?

I was trying to flash the new version of EnergyROM and when i ran a task29 i accidently left my SIM card and SD card in. I loaded it to the bootloader screen and it was saying USB on the phone but my computer wasnt recognizing it so i went and bought a card reader and tried flashing from the SD card and now its stuck on a black screen with the red light in the corner always on. the phone wont turn on and the light only comes on when its plugged in. please please help me i just bought this phone 2-3 weeks ago and didnt get insurance.
Generally, if it is bricked, it won't turn on or just constantly reboot. You can access bootloader mode by hitting the down volume key while holding the soft reset button.

that what it seems to be doing, ive run task 29 twice and tried to reinstall the ROM that worked earlier today and it just loads up to the BRGD ATT world phone screen and acts like it wants to boot up and then just goes back to the black screen any ideas on why?
