Dead SPV M5000 / Universal - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Hi All
I posted this in another forum... but hope its better suited here.
My Father has an SPV M5000 (HTC Universal). He has unlocked the SIM lock from IMEI number some time ago.
Recently it started going screwy and so he did a soft reset and then it wont turn on at all.
He has let me play with it and if I try a hard reset it comes up with the screen saying "press 0 to restore...", but if you press 0 it says "clearing now" and then appears to switch off. If you press x it also appears to switch off.
You can enter bootloader mode and it displays SERIAL on the screen - when you plug it in to a PC the screen changes to USB. But when I try connecting using MTTY I get no USB port - although selecting COM5 seems to open a command prompt window - but to be honest I dont know where to go from here.
If I try a soft reset it seems to do nothing - although the orange charging light blinks once.
With it connected to a PC in bootloader mode I was able to reflash the ROM and it went through all three stages correctly and indicated it had been successful - but when you finish with a hard reset it appears to turn off.
Before I use it to wedge my living room door open, can anyone offer any advice? I have perused the forum, but cannot find anything which seems to match the fault I am getting.
I know its not the battery as I have the same model and the battery is new.
I suppose if nothing can be done... does anyone have any ideas what to do with it now?
Thanks in advance

BA - SX66 Variant won't load - stuck in Splash or Bootloader

Got a little problem, maybe big =(
Basically the phone one day decided not to work
i can get only two screens
either the start-up splash screen displaying CINGLAR and the firmware stuff on the bottom corner
or
if i enter bootloader mode, i get SERIAL 2.07 and nothing else
i have tried hard reset, take out the battery for ever, even flash
hard reset does nothing, soft does nothing
take out the battery does nothing
the phone won't charge through the cradle or charger, i can only charge the battery alone using the cradle
as for flashing it won't flash in the cingular splash screen or the bootloader screen, it doesn't change from SERIAL to USB when connected, thus the computer can't send anything to it
what can i do ?????
Do you have an SDIO card in the top slot? That can cause problems with the bootloader accepting the image from the PC.
nope only have the original DEMO SD plastic
any one what could be wrong ?
had same problem
dont know if you are doing the wm5.0 hard reset or teh old style hard reset that we used to on wm2003se. its teh notes button, camera, power and soft reset button. clear registry and the storage and then it should work. it did for me.
tried your reset steps boots the bootloader =(

If you got bootloader mode then you should be able to upgrade your rom to whatever you like.
Step by step insturctions are on WIKKI. The page for upgrading to the most recent ROM for the Blue Angel that IS NOT WM2005 is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
If your device is in bootloader mode just put it in the cradle (activsync won't start but don't worry about that) and start the upgrade!

When you get to the Bootloader screen, probably you are home free. Just use the abouve link to resolve you problem.

I've tried upgrading my JasJar with Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30

I guys, I've tried upgrading my JasJar with Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162, using MaUpgradeUt_noID and when update was complete I cannot load my JasJar anymore. I am using hard reset, but when choosing "0" off the boot screen - noting happens and screeen remains black.
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Best regards,
Stazik
Try reflashing it again. If it does not work, try reflashing back to the i-Mate ROM.
Whats the version of your bootloader (the screen with serial at the top changing to usb when plugged into usb)? If it is 0.56 or something else below 0.6 thats an already known problem.
I had similar problems with my O2 upgrade.
Try:
- Turn off USB in ActiveSync
- Hold Power/Light and press reset button
- Run the upgrade again
Thank you very much for help and support, guys!
When I try flashing my JasJar with Bootloader update or JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship I get the same error message: Error 101 Connection Error. And also when I disable ActiveSync USB and plug my Jasjar into USB - I get a message from windows saying the device was not recognized...
The only I can get from JasJar is a black screen, except when I press two soft buttons and reset - that gives me a screen with 0 and x to choose. Neither of choices helps thou.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
you didnt answer the question re the boot loader number.
when your screen is grey or starting to reset, there are numbers on the screen. what are they.
if it is less that 0.6 your in trouble and assistance is different to if your boot loader is 1.0 or similar.
My screen doesn't change from gray except when I do hard reset. And then I hit two buttons and reset, then press 0 the message Clearing now appears and then everything returns to gray again.
How can I tell the version of bootloader in this case?
Thank you in advance!
they are hard to see, if the screen is grey, the numbers are black.
f the screen is blue/coloured, the nmbers are probably red.
Thanks for help guys,
I brought my JasJar for service today, somehow they were able to put older ROM in there. Now I've upgraded bootloader, hopefully newest ROM from i-mate going to fit without problems )
Well I've killed my Jasjar upgrading I was installing the bootloader update. It sat there saying "Checking information on your device" for about 30 minutes after the update started (notes said it would take 10 so I figured something was amiss - disconnected & rebooted my PC.
Now when I turn the Jasjar on I get the USB/Serial screen referred to above and (good news I figure) it has v1.00 at the bottom. How do I fix this?
TIA
Sheesh. I did a search (I know I should have done that first) and found the answer here
Took a while to find a copy of mtty to download, but found that at http://buzzdev.net
Once I'd done the Set 14 0 and tried the boot loader update again it took seconds so something definitely went wrong the first time.

Qtek 9090 Dead - Update not 100%, no reaction, no bootloader

Hey guys,
I've searched the forum for like 5 hours or so
to find a thread that could help me solve this solution...
I've tried everything that had something to do with "dead"
in the BlueAngel and Blueangel Update etc. section
What it does:
- The screen stays black
- If I try to charge, the Red 'Charging' LED doesn't become red
unless I take the battery out of the Qtek and charge..
Then it gets red (WEIRD)
- No connection with activesync or rom update utilities
What happened:
- Rom update stopped after a few percentages...
If i try to get a new rom in it with or without cradle
with the following rom update utilities:
- BaUpgradeUt.exe:
then I get a Connection Error (101) when I try to update
- MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe:
ERROR 150: ROM UPGRADE UTILITY ERROR
(Rom Utility not designed for this device)
or "Finished" immediately (but it's not finished)
(Depends on the rom I use, and I used like 10 different roms)
Soft reset / Hard reset doesn't work,
I even tried to Hard Reset by holding the
Voice Record button + Power button + Reset button for 2 minutes
(I tried Camera + Power + Reset too) with the battery,
and I tried these without the battery...
No reaction...
If someone can help me, please do...
Thnx in advance

Nope,
I've tried that too, but I don't get the USB or WCEUSB in mtty...
The COM ports don't react.
I know how to use it, because I used it like 10 times or somethin'
But I think the problem is, that I can't get in the bootloader mode
(or any other mode)... So there's no response from my Angel..
Thanks anyway..
have you tryed to remove battery, leave it without battery fo an hour or two then put the battery back and power on the device ?
this method may boot your device. If it worked go imediately in bot loader mode and reflash your favorite rom
If it does not helps maybe it is hardware problem ... and you should leave your device in service center
Tried this too
Isn't there any solution except for service center?
I want to know how I can solve this problem,
'cause it could happen again when I update the rom later.
And I know I'm not the only one with this problem.
It would help me and a lot of other BlueAngel owners..
Is it possible to make a serial connection with the bottom I/O port and issue the necessary commands with mtty? could be that there is some logic powered on the board but not enough to make the "USB" section powered up.. similar to serial a console cable on network gear etc. OR.. is there any known secrets such as a hardware debug mode initiated with certain pin(s) on the I/O connector.. such as grounding one or two.. any HTC tech documents floating around for troubleshooting?

			
				
You are not one with this problem. The same happens with me too.

Try to enter the bootloader mode (power+light+reset). From what you have described it appears that you should not have problem entering the bootloader mode. Please remember that in bootloader mode yor screen is dark and only when you look very carefully you will be able to read the word "Serial" on the top of the screen and bootloader version number at the bottom. If there is inssuficient illumination in the room it is quite possible to think that the screen is blank. There will be no backlight. Once you are in the bootloader connect to your PC (before connecting please open Active sync on your PC uncheck the "Allow USB" connection in File / connection setting) Once connected the word "Serial" on the top of the screen will change to "USB". It is advisable to use only the original cable. Also connect the cable directly and not through a hub. Now reflash the rom and do a hard reset. I have faced problems by softreset after upgrade please try hard reset.
Hopefully your problem will be solved by a reflash.
Best of luck
From my past experience you have to flash to the original manufacturer rom first. Then you flash to whatever rom you want.
hope this helps
Thanks all, I'm now be able to re-flash the ROM and upgraded to WM6....
Here comes another issue... after i run the first setup and reset the PDA, it stuck on the Windows Mobile screen, any clue?
thanks again.

From the file link you have specified, http://micmeo.com/UNI/WM6/900_WWE_20...0_wwe_ship.zip it seems that you are using Jwrightmcps' WM6 2.01.08 WWE Rom Release.
I too have lock-up problems but only during boot-up. The frequency of this happenning is about 30% and why it happens is still unknown since the lock-up happens at random stages during the booting sequence. The only solution that I know of for now is to simply do a soft-reset repeatedly until the device boots up properly.

This appears to be a common problem as seen from different posts. Thankfully things are ok after reset.
yes, after reset few times, it works... and everytime it hangs, need reset few times...

You might find this of interest - it refers to the problem of hanging after soft reset in the 2.01.08 WWE Rom:

I had this problem also. I found pulling out the battery for 5 or more seconds solved this for me every time.
Give it a try. Good luck

Use the SEARCH engine...there are several other posts like yours!
thanks
thanks for your time,it would be nice if you advised me what to search for ?among the many posts,after several diferent searches i am still empty handed ,being a newbie simply suggesting to search wasnt very helpful,thanks anyway
Try here to start:-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
That page is full of links to help you out.
And then try here:-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted
If you don't understand it don't do it but its pretty straight forward.
People will help if you try things from there and then explain what is happening.
thanks for your help but nothing works
thank you so much for your reply,at least you have tried to adress my problem rather than just telling me to search (which i have already done)
I have previously checked out the posts you directed me to and either i am stupid and dont understand or my problem is different?Anyway what i see my problema as being is that i cannot perform a hard or soft reset by the usual methods ,also active sync dosnt pick up my device so i cannot install any operating system including my original version,i am trying not to believe that i have ruined my device because as a disabled pensioner i rely so much on it and cannot afford to replace it,i have spent hours aquiering the software that i need to help me with my disability and time spent in hospitalsd and waiting rooms,once again thank you for giving me some hope and i would appreciate any further advice

Unfortunately i do not have a blue angel so my attempts to help are limited but what i would suggest is to fully charge the pda overnight and then remove the battery for ten-twenty mins.
Then try and put it in bootloader mode (after you have reinserted the battery and turned it on).
If you can get this far attatch it to your usb (let any drivers install on their own on pc) and flash the same rom the handset came with.
Hope it helps
actually you are "IN" the bootloader mode... it's the UI for flashing.
Serial... means your USB cable isnt detecting any PC connection.
Orange led means you're phone is charging, that's a good sign.
try charging it for a long time and wait if it becomes green.
then if and when your battery is full...
take your battery out for at least 30-40 mins,
if your backup battery is old... and you know how fast it could drain out
you can use that time instead of the 30-40 mins...
put the battery back...
press and hold the record button + the power button...
now stick the reset.
use a separate synch cable.
then flash your phone again.
if that doesnt work...
search for MTTY...
i dont know the particulars but i think you'll find it somehow
Good luck!
1. Download mtty v1.42 from http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/mtty1.42.rar
2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.
4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM 2, try unplugging the USB and replugging it)
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted (only do this is if you dont mind losing all data on the BA)
7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot
8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
good luck.
Thanks ,but no Luck
Thanks for your reply,but i cannot Choose WCEUSBSH001 when Run mtty.exe,i can choose Com 3 but when i type in your instructions it tells me to "Please input command name in menu Auto first" ARRGGGHHH! i am going crazt,but i realy appreciate yout time and effprt to my problem,it is wonderful to have some hope of getting it up and running as i am so lost without it,once again any help or suggestions appreciated
did you kill both process in task manager?
Have you tried to unplug the device wait ten seconds and then plug it back in?
RE:more thanks
i dont find the rapimgr.exe process running ,could that be the problem? thanks again ,really appreciate your time and efforts
kinda new to this myself mate but had a similar problem recently.
firstly, it sounds like your OS has gone....the screen you can see basically means there is nothing to 'boot' to.
'serial' should change to 'usb' once plugged into the pc before you can start active sync and reloading an OS.
try, if possible, a different usb port if that fails is there any chance you could borrow another cradle to check that the usb side is ok?.
another thing i did not see mentioned (may have missed it), if you push power + soft reset together and as soon as you see the boot loader press record + camera at the same time, if this works it will show 3 options, first one should remain 'no' the next 2 should be changed to 'yes', (record moves down the options, camera changes the setting) then press the 'mail' button.
this should clear the BA (losing any saved data etc) but might 'wake it up' so the pc will recognise it again and allow you to reload.
if it is showing 'serial' and charging then i doubt it is broken beyond repair, just one of those annoying problems that comes with technology.
i upgraded to WM6 with no problem, it was as i tried to downgrade back to 2003 i got my problems, it appeared as if i had wrecked my BA but re-read all help/instructions a few times and managed to get it sorted, dont give up hope, just keep going over it.....i am sure you will get there, good luck.
Given up
thanks for all your help ,after trying so many combinations ,i have given upo and sent it in to be repaired,i was wondering however if it is worth upgrading it to 6? and what the correct rom version is ,any help here would be apreciated ,and once again thanks for your time
