Hi All
Have a problem with my latest phone. A so called friend told me to upgarde the ROM so as to remove all the T Mobile poop in it. So he gave me the software I started the upgrade all went well stage 1 then stage 2 and finally stage 3. It said Congrats just hit reset and the power button at the same time and its done. Easy Me thought..... Not Easy....... Its now just booting up and screaming at me. The screen wont lite up and nothing else. I have tries to reset over 10 times now.....Anyone got any ideas, have I shot and killed my new phone...

this is not good. do you know which phone you are having? MDA is all the phoen from t-mobile. First identify your phone. Then, you need to know if you are using the right ROM on the right phone. THEN, you have to know are you using the right phone ROM on the phone (eg G3 or G4).
Its an MDA Copmact 11 does that help....
common.. more info. which rom you've used?
Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.
SORRY i AM NEW TO THIS AND i AINT GOT A CLUE WHAT i AM DOIN...HE HE HE
Oh forgot to mention it all went in ok, stage 1, 2, 3 and even told me on my computer it had worked. It was when I tried the power and reset that it all came tumbling down........

All I would like to do is get the old stuff back then worry about an upgarde later can this be done without me having to do unspeakable things to the phone????
You've just flashed your Charmer phone with an Alpine ROM. If that doesn't kill your phone, I'm not sure what will.
Ok, try this. Hold down all 3 buttons -> power, camera, record buttons, and poke the reset. See if you can get a 3 colours screen.
If you get that, close active sync (stop the process WCESCOMM.EXE), connect your phone to your PC (when it is displaying the 3 colour screen). Then you ought to be able to run the ROM update file (EXE) from t-mobile (check the Charmer Wiki) and that may fix your problem.

I have done what you have said, I think...DUHHHH the screen has not lit up but its now showing USB in the top and V1.02 in th ebottem. I have connected it to my computer but active sync has not cut in yet....... I assume I have done it wrong....
hey
you DONT want activesync to cut in
put it in that 'usb mode' that you managed to get and just run the OFFICIAL T-Mobile rom update utility, but make sure to kill the wcesscomm process in windows' task manager.
good luck!

I have just downloaded the t-mobile update as below
RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship
I have switched off the file as you have said in the task manager. The update laods then says cannot find MDA Device connection error 274.
Could a system restart help?????
Sorry for all this, maybe stick to things I do know in the future, like washing my car.......
hey
get your phone back into that screen which had 'usb' written on it.
then do this:
download and install a program called 'winrar', you've probably heard of it and in all likelihood already have it!
once its installed, right click that t-mobile update you just download and select the 'extract to.../' option that will come up in the drop down menu, let it extract to the folder it does, open the folder in there will be a few files: you want the file which is called something along the lines of 'upgrateUT' or RUU Upgrade UT, it'll be an exe,
connect your phone up to the computer (with it in the USB mode and activesync disabled) and run that exe, it should go through as normal
good luck
(if you want any help just post back! best bet is for you to extract the files and report back with the name of the files in the folder!)
duke: I think he did that. He downloaded the EXE from http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
and it seems not able to detect his Charmer.
JeanGenie: Just to make sure, when you run that EXE, you have the phone connected with it displaying USB?

well, it is amazing that you can go into the bootloader at all. I'm suspecting that the bootloader is not the Chamer bootloader, hence the ROM update EXE is not able to find it. Where did you download the Alpine ROM. Give exact link.
UPDATE: Look at the post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269329&highlight=
by 'windowsceportal'. He is able to flash the phone with 'Prophet RUU 2.5.2 noID check' with the DLL RUUResource.dll of Charmer RUU. I'm not very certain, but the noIdCheck may able to help.
UPDATE: As according to this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280128&highlight=
the bootloader mode that you are having is that of an Alpine (Charmer's bootloader mode is a screen with 3 colours). So, probably the updating program doesn't work. However, as an idea, you may want to try getting alpine upgrading EXE files to load Charmer ROM into the phone. It is an idea, not sure how can this be achieved.

Is there anyway of just deleting the Alpine ROM and reinstalling the correct charmer. I, as you have probably guessed aint got a clue what I am doing never lone saying...he he he
Just a thought.......
Plus my new XDA IIi was delieverd today am I being silly when I say I have been told that I can debrand it with the Alpine rom as listed above, dont want to try anything incase this phone goes belly up also....
Hellllppppp...........
Its me again, can anyone make any other suggestions to my problem please. I have tried in vain to do what has been already suggested but it seems either it wont work or more to the point I have no clue as to what I am doing.
hi,
i'm a newbie, and yes i have screwed up.. performed (or should i say.. almost performed) my rom update on my desktop (which is kinda slow PC...) i had no applications or unwanted services running, my computer. The Progress on the Rom update (the desktop couterpart) had incremented and had become full (the progress bar i mean..) and it was nicely sitting there for about two hours with no indication of any further progress (yeah just wanted to make sure it wasnt me being hyperactive or in a hurry )
On the PDA it was a different story.. the screen indicated a 100% copy of some image file and then it was stuck at "Reset Hermon" stage. )for the record, i feel like a parrot now, these words dont really make sense to me.. )
So i removed the cable, battery and booted up my phone after about ten minutes... yup, just like i had expected it got stuck at the bootloader screen.
Now obvisously, my Rom update wizard wont work, as the very first step is to check for a existing Active Sync Connection. and Activesync is not a application tht recognizes phones connected in their bootloader mode...
Now i have no idea about trying to flash thru the memory card, i tried copy pasting all the files that the Rom update file had generated in the desktop folder it was run in(about 4 exe files that are supposedly 'not a valid 32-bit application' and two .abi files.. one of the abi file is 85 mb, so i guess that was the image file.. but when i copied these files into the memory card and re booted my PDA, it didnt show any change, as in it still asked me to connect the USB cable and was trying to get the image from there..
I have a o2 xda zinc. yeah, with no Operating system ..
to say that help would be appreciated is a understatement
damn, contacted the o2 support guys, but i have this feeling that this (forum ) would be a faster way to know if i have to drop my phone at the 'collection center' or not. i am still optimistic as the phones under warranty and its just a software glitch. Please enlighten me. what are my options?
hi
my o2 zinc has the same problem just like yours
if your zinc fixed or any thing new pleas tell me
tnx

Hi Guys! I have a same problem, but I'm not solve this yet. I'm not sure how I replace this diamimg.nbh, because my diamond not start anymore (I use mtty, so I'm not sure is this the reason).
So only what I can do, is hard reset and bootloader mode, but I'm not able to change diaming.nbh because my pc not detected internal storage.
I load this: [ROM][14/07][WWE][NEW:SENSE 2016]Memo2.6.0.0[WM6.1][SEN2.5+MEMORY&GRAPHIC TWEAKED]
But I make a huge mistake.. (I had a rush and I rename this zip-file to diaming.nbh... ), So I realize this too late, and I'm trying to start with this..
And now when I start diamond, there is only first "touch diamond" logo, but nothing else..
I also trying to update this rom with usb, but CustomRuu says: "application error.." and not working..
If somebody knows what I have to do, please help me! Thanx!!
Ok so lg released VS750ZV7_04 update awhile ago but us lg fathom users couldn't up date cause there is an error in their software
here is a guide on updating you Fathom
First I ran the lg software update tool from lg to make it go to the downloading black screen -- you can get the software too from here http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/vwz-phone-software-update.jsp --
extraced LG-Utils-0.4.2.zip to C:\
made a folder called "VS750" in C:\
Got the cad file from here http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdat.../VS750ZV7_04/VS750ZV7_04.SV7_04.P58006.R5.cab
renamed the cab file to "VS750ZV7_04.cab" than put it into the "VS750" folder
next I right clicked on "KP500-Utils-EN.exe" and changed the compatibility to winxpsp2
and ran it as admin
I than picked "J"
and than put in "VS750" for the model
than I put in "C:\VS750\VS750Zv7_04.cab" when it asked for the cab file
than I put in "VS750ZV7_04" for the version.
and it worked here is a picture of what the update looks like now

I have attached the lg uilt 0.4.2 to update your phones
That's very cool.
Once you have v7 installed, could you possibly dump the OS for me? I would love a copy of the OEM and SYS for my GW825.
sure i can just tell me how to dump it and i will get that to ya
If you take a look at this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611429&page=2
I believe it may provide you with the info you need.
I am sorry but it won't let me dump I might be doing something wrong
I keep getting this error "The Device is not ready for use"
Here is a paste bin from my cmd

Hmm, well I can't help you there.
da_reeseboy posted dumps of v4 and v5. Perhaps he can help get you going.
Lol this explains why both of you asked about dumping the rom.
@bhast2: I shot you back a pm.
@trueg: I'm trying to snag a usb monitoring program so I can monitor the data before I upgrade... I haven't found anything solid yet.
Dumping it right now thanks for your help da_reeseboy
OK I have dump it to .raw how that is what you need cause I dont' know what to do with the .raw files
OK here is the dump of V7_04

I just wish we could use a custom rom on our fathoms
So what has been updated/changed in V7?
h**p://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/fathom.pdf Replace * with t because i can not post outside links. (post count is under eight)
is it recommended to update to v7? some people are saying it is buggy and want to revert to v5, while others said its awesome, how about you guys what can you say about the v7?
LGFathom connects to WMDC but LGMobile updater and KP500-Utils-EN don't see the phone
Hi,
I just got a LG Fathom (V4) and want to upgrade to V7 before I start using it for real (I'm semi-computer literate, but new to phone hacking). My Fathom connects up to WMDC and syncs. But when I try to us LGMobile Updater, it starts bringing up "install USB driver" windows, one on top of the other. I unplug the phone and installed USB drivers from the updater and still get the same thing. While it's bringing up the driver windows, it looks like it is connecting and disconnecting from the phone, but I can't see for sure since the USB installer windows pop up over it. So I tried using the KP500-Utils approach, but it says "no phone attached". I notice in Windows 7 (32bit) Device Manager that the phone is under "Portable Devices", not a USB device. Does that make any difference. Both of the updating utilities can't find the phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
never-used USB port "solved" my updater looping problem
It might be pure luck or a Windows fluke, but I got the updater to work by plugging the Fathom into a USB port I've never used before (I have two on the side -- that I use all the time for various devices -- and two on the back of my laptop). I plugged it in and then started LGMobile Updater and it saw my phone and updated it to V7. And it works. Hope this helps someone else.
Alternate Connection For This Method
Guys,
Hope this helps someone, I tried the initial method and ran into the same issue as others where the device is not recognized. I switched the USB connection to VZAccess Manager in Settings-Connections-Switch USB. The device then recognized and allowed update. I then tried a second device (company phones) and the VZW/LG Official updated worked with the same method.
Thank you LG for the craptastic updater and complete lack of knowledge about your device!
Thank you Bhast2 for your post, it saved my ass today and kept a customer happy!
P
can we upgrade the LG FATHOM to Win7 OS? Is there any possiblities?
Thanks
ya, I am wondering the same thing, if we can put windows 7 on it.
Also is there custom themes we can get or can we put at least android on it? Was thinking of exchanging my omnia 2 for this phone, not sure though.
Hello everyone, it's me again...
Please read this first, as it is the reason why I started MTTY. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10487426#post10487426
I used this guide to MTTY http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
I did exactly as described in the guide, exept for the "Remove Watermark" thing, as it is for windows x65 and x84. I have a 32 bit system.
I used the Energy.DIAMOND.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Dec.21.7z ROM
I used the "flash from internal storage" method. Again, I did exactly as the guide described. I did change the ROM name to what is described in the guide, and when i did that, my pc warned me if i changed that which was after the .xxx , the program couldnt work properly anymore. I continued anyway because I was pretty sure it would work. I changed the name to DIAMIMG.nbh
Maybe that's what's wrong?
I used the MTTY program, and selected USB.
I typed: set 14 0
I typed: task 29
In the guide, only one file failed to be erased. I had four un-erased blocks.
I typed: task 8
I immediatley disconnected my device and held vol down and back for over 2 minutes. The startup screen came, which displayed TouchDiamond as normal, but this screen stays there forever, no matter what I do.
The only thing I can do is enter bootloader. Then, when i hook my device up to my computer, "serial" changes to "usb". When i check control panel--> device manager, I can see my device is hooked up. When i disconnect, it isn't there anymore. That means my pc still recognizes my htc.
Is there any way to fix this? Was it a wrong ROM version? Was it a Wrong HardSPL version? Please help me.
I've made a backup before I even started with the Hard SPL, but i'm not sure if thats the ROM, or the settings and some files on my internal storage. It's about 30-60 MB.
Please help me.
Also, I have downloaded the original rom from htc, but i'm not sure how to flash this, as activesync doesn't recognize my HTC device.
Again, please help me. There has to be a way.
Thanks in advance
connect ur diamond to pc and flash from PC
btw u can still get ur original rom from htc netherland site....use ur serial number in ur device
I downloaded the rom from the htc site. i just flashed it and it works.
Now how to flash the energy rom? im still not sure which method to use, because it's now working like the htc one. it's a .z7 file. The htc rom was just double clicking and following the instructions. It may sound stupid, but i dont want it to happen again
Happy it's working again tho.
glad ur device is working again. and dont worry if it happens again. becoz you can bring it back with htc rom always.
if i may suggest, how about you try a non-energy rom jus to kick in the confidence in you.
try another custom rom....then you can be sure if its really ur device or the energy rom file that is corrupt.
some users hav had issues with their energy rom files downladed being corrupt

Hi there...
File with z7, it's compressed file. You need to extract it first to a new folder. Then you can try to flash again.
Hello again.
I did notice when i first downloaded the energy rom that it was a 7z file. But when i tried to unzip it, there was no such option in the drop down menu. This is my mums pc, so I think it's not installed on this pc.
I'll try to unzip it today after school.
If it doesn't work then, I'll try to flash a few other roms, just to be sure.
I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the fast replies tho^^
It's working! I just used 7Zip and ran the RUU included with the ROM. Ill try several as maxsence 2.5 is a bit sluggish, ive tried two, but the 23699 build doesn't have cookie 2.0
Really happy and thanks for the replies, guys(or gals)
see...i told you so...this is called the "CROSS CHECKING"....
now do you (or everyone else) believe me when i say there are some energy rom files that are corrupt or refuse to flash to diamond.
no, it was not corrupt, I was just so stupid not to unzip it first, that's all.
There may be some files that are corrupt, but i haven't witnessed one.
Now i know how to, i'm one die-hard flashin' mother******
TY^^
