toshiba tg01 lived up to its reputation - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

so... i read loads of stuff how toshiba tg01 fails at everything , thought it wont happen to me but... so i was upgrading to windows mobile 6.5 , everything went fine it installed , got a message that installation was succesful the phone restarted , standart toshiba startup logo comes up , then it turns off and the same logo comes up again! and again! and again..... so i wonder if this is it will i have to go for warranty or is there anything i can do by myself thx for the help!

what doyou want to say ....and what apps you have installed

at first i had spb mobile shell 3.5 , fingerkeyboard , gs player , but i did a master clear just before instalation , formated the memory card.

since the phone does not go past the toshiba logo i guess it is a windows problem , so is there any way to put new windows into it or reset the phone someway , because the built-in reset button doesn't do anything.

maybe a recommendation of what software might be used to detect the phone , since it turns on , it would make sense that it puts out somekind of signal. any help? really need it fixed ;/////

you get the upgrade files from www.my-xda.com not from microsoft....
re-do the upgrade dude.... goodluck... check out DCS's thread about upgrading
i upgraded (and switched languages in the process) my girlfriend's iMate 2k2 ( a.k.a. XDA2/MDA2) by flashing with an upgrade from my cellular provider.
the first time, things went wrong and I saw USB and some weird junk on the screen.
panicking, i decide to try it again.
this time it erased everything, and crashed when it came to 15 percent of the writing part.
REALLY spooked, i tried it a third time, and sat in front of the laptop to prevent a screensaver or hard-drive-spindle-down from happening, and the upgrade went smoothly.
it was a boring 45 minutes, occasionally jiggling the mouse to keep the computer alive, but it worked.
so try and try again
Thx All For Help
i've read a post by DCS a after that all went smooths for my noob knowledge ...the 3 button reset hlp me alot cu guys ..and HF!

Restore you dead BA, Load any BA rom, revert from WM5

Hello there people.
I installed WM5 on my MDA III, had a go, got bored and wanted to revert back to 2003SE.
But I got stuck coz Baupgrate.exe didn't like Activesync V4.0 4343.
And then I found a way that worked.
Close Activesync (from the task manager)
Hard reset the PDA (Off button + record + needle button)
once in that mode you should only see " Serial V2.05"
Put the phone in the cradle, hook it to your PC and run " Baupgrate.EXE"
It worked, I loaded Orange roms, T-mobile, ger, ita till i got bored again.
It completely over looks the DeviceData. But to be super safe use the Mupdate_noID.exe from this website.
Let me know.
P.S. I don't like AS4 But allows me to Explore the phone from windows now. Dunno, maybe is the new Rom or AS4.
Anyway keep up the good work.

Device Stuck in Windows Mobile Screen

First of all: I read the Wiki, I followed the instructions, and I could once get it back to life.
But I want to know WHY this happens over and over again.
The story:
I have a MDA Vario II (Hermes, Tytn) for a long time to sync my business mails and calendar- entries. Some Time ago I found this Forum and updated the Device to Windows Mobile 6 (i'm Using Schaps 3.54b) and everything works like a charm.
A few weeks ago my boss as well got the same device, and unfortunately he saw me using Windows Mobile 6 while he was using the T-Mobile Windows Mobile 5.
He wanted me to update his device as well. As I did not have ANY Problems with WM6, I did not hesitate to update his device as well.
The devices are like "clones":
Same Radio- Version 1.51
Same OS - Schaps
Same Applications: Onebridge Mobile Client as the only "non-schaps" - App
Same Configuration: HTC Home without Sound- Tab, no other Extensions on Home.
Same Provider (T-Mobile)
Of course they have different IMEI and different MAC_ Adresses, but that is what it is supposed to be.
But since I gave the device to my boss, he already had the problem the second time: The device will not go over the Windows- Mobile- Splash- Screen. The first time I did not search the WIKI / Forum and just did a Hard- reset and everything was fine again.
Today problems started the second time: First of all the device was not recognized by his laptop (and my laptop eather) any more: It said "Unknown device". And while it always charges (orange led on) for the first few seconds after re- pluggin, it stopps charging after the error- Message on the laptop.
So I thought: Maybe an akku- problem and interchanged his akku with mine.
And now i have the Windows- Boot- Stuck- Thing again.
It's not that I could not reanimate the device by Hard- resetting it, but I want to understand the reason:
How can it be, that exactly the same hardware with exactly the same software reacts that different.
By the way: This already is the second device for my boss, the first one has already been exchanged... After it had Boot- Problems (I reflashed original Radio, Firmware, so that they did not say anything)
Can anyone help ?
EDIT:
I tried leaving the battery out for 20 Minutes -> no success
I tried leaving it in Boot- Screen for 10 Minutes (or even more) -> No Access
I connected it to my PC and it can be found and gets an IP- Adfress that I can ping, but ActiveSync does not connect and the Screen is still a Windows mobile Boot- Screen.
At the Moment I'am trieing to get a log via USB- Monitor. I'm gona post it when I get it...
EDIT2:
OK, cause it's the device of my boss I now gave him mine (after a hard-reset and reinstalltion of the needed application) and reanimated his one by just doing a hard- reset. It came back to live instantly and now I will try to reproduce this hang with his device whilest him using mine. Seems that everybody knows how to reanimate, but nobody knows, why this happens... I'll try to find out and report it back if I can find the reason.
I have the same problem after installing the new HTC Plus plug in.
My ROM is the supa dupa lite one.
Now i need to remember how to do a hard reset!
edit - hard reset go tme back to 'normal'
i tried supa dupa and superstorage dlite, my phone stuck same as you are. .... at last i put any stable .nbh in microsd. then pushed power+ok+soft rest button... reflash back. successful!
Mine with Schaps 4.31 & Radio 1.54 also stucks in Windows Mobile screen after a few day upgrading ROM & radio then installing HTC Plus.
Hard reset does the cure, but I lost all the data.
So what's the culprit ?
i had the same problem, i understood the problem is the calendar.
if you have a schedule in the calendar, with a reminder or with nothing, and you turn off the pda, it will freeze in the windows splash screen when you try to turn it on. Until the schedule is ended.
i had the shap's rom 3.54b, and i resolve installing the 4.30 rom.
bye!
everytime I have had such issues..........was a corrupt installation.
when I am flashing I no touch anything anymore........just gun shy now.
having the same problem, any solutions yet?

Ok, let me see if i understand u correctly, your specs give me no new questions they look ok. U have WM5 and want to run a program (from your work) which needs WM6 (wont run on WM5). HTC told you about the official WM6 update. This wont flash as activesync crashes, right?
With an official Rom you will not need to unlock the CID/SPL with USPL. But this goes only when you stick to your current language. i.e. a german WM5 is not allowed to be flashed into english. To do this you will need to USPL-unlock it 1st.
If the language is the same, it should work. Best is to do a hard reset 1st (2 soft buttons and soft reset, wait and press green/send.) Afterwards hook it on the PC (activesync want to start a newe partnership, click cancel, so u will be connected as guest).
Start the rom upgrade. Activesync should close and bootloader on the ppc will be started. This is a screen with many colours/stripes, which is normal but looks very bad and different from normal bootup.
Then the flashing will start, the screen on the ppc will turn white/grey and a scale will show you the percentage of the flashingprocess (similar to the screen of the pc). Wait patentiently and do not toch the ppc or disconnect (or expect a bricked device).
At the end, the ppc will reboot and take a while (longer then normal bootup) to initiate the boot for the 1st time.
If this wont work, then try to extract the upload file, put the ppc in boatloader mode, connect to pc and start the romupdateutility.exe directly.
Good Luck!
hi,
i've flashed my HTC P3300 and it was done successfully (using USPL) but the language was Spanish, i searched a lot how to change it to english since i dont understand a word of it.
through one of the forums, i was told to set the SysLang = 1032 in registry to get the english language, i done so, now, the phone is stuck in Welcome (WM6.1) screen and nothing is happening, not even responding to power key.
I tried hard reset, it doesn't work, i tried entering to bootloader, it also doesn't work, also, i am not able to connect it to PC since i guess its not completed up.
Just got stuck with a brick, can you help please. Really needed!!!!!!
Thanks
