Please help!
I just upgraded my ROM to Ivan's latest AKU3.5 from bootloader
This completed successfully (100% successful, disconnect and restart etc)
I disconnected and reset, except it was stuck in bootloader mode
I tried the Mtty method (for the first time ever) and followed the step by step instructions...
...after a few seconds a few command lines appeared with "USB>" on the last line
I took this to mean the process had finished (?), disconnected the device from USB and tried a soft reset
the device just stayed stuck in bootloader
next, i downloaded uni_exitbootloader and ran it (as this has worked for me many times in the past). it didn't work the first few times, but i disconnected and reconnected and this time it worked. It said "data sent, you can now reset your device"
This maybe where i went wrong?
I foolishly reset the device before disconnecting it from the USB. The PC immediately said "USB device not recognised" and the screen of my Universal went blank
Now, if i soft reset, it does nothing, i cannot even put it back into bootloader using the camera, on, reset button combination.
HOWEVER, if i press the two soft keys (as if i was going to do a hard reset) i get the white screen with the black text saying "Press 0 to restore etc"
If i press 0, it says "clearing" but the screen just goes blank
If i press x, the screen just goes blank
Now i am completely unable to try and use either mtty or exitbootloader as my PC just says "USB device not recognised" and neither applications run as they should
QUESTION: Have i totally bricked my Universal?!
If not, what can i possibly do...???
As usual, i will be extremely greatful for any advice or assistance to resurrect my favourite Pocket PC!
Thanks in advance for your help.
Aaagh! I think i just realised what i did...
1. I didn't read the posting "For all those stuck in the bootscreen, try the Mamaich method" carefully enough. I didn't realise that the Mamaich method totally erased the ROM!!!
2. By not flashing a new ROM to the device immediately and instead using exitbootloader to exit the bootloader screen i now have a device that has no ROM and probably has no way of knowing how to get into bootloader mode.
Can someone confirm this?
For one, i feel like an idiot for not reading the posting carefully, but having admitted to being stupid,...
... is there anything at all i can do???
Please help...
cancel that, you already said what i was going to ask above
have you try to flash it again with original ROM? sometimes it helps!
Once in bootloader mode, try plugging it into a different USB port, one directly on the PC.
I have had this where one port says not recognised, even after having been plugged in and used for ages, then I go to flash it and it won't work.
Another port has worked for me.
Since you ereased the DOC, all you've got to do now is to reflash the default ROM.
Thanks everyone...
Only problem is, i cannot get it into bootloader mode. And every port i plug it into (so far) says "device not recognised"...
Nevertheless, i did try to reflash the device, but it just gave me the "Error 150" message. It just doesn't know the device is connected i guess?
I think if i hadn't done the Exitbootloader step then i would have been able to reflash it. However, now that i have... i'm a bit stuck... any ideas of other ways to get the device into Bootloader mode?
try
you already know there is a file called EXITBOOTLOADER but did you know that here is a file called ENTERBL ?
try it .....
Thanks dhob187!
Where might i find this file though? Did you mean to attach it?
Just one other question...
How does ENTERBL work if the PC doesn't recognise my device i.e. "USB device not recognised"? Will the application override this and push commands to my pocket pc anyway?
Or is there a way i can get my PC to stop rejecting the device when i plug the USB in?
Thanks in advance,
I believe this is the file u needed
i don't know how this utility works, but just yesterday i stuck in the bootloader after upgrading my uni to AKU 3,5 and solved with ExitBootloader.exe. CMIIW it works the same way, just plug the USB cable then execute the utility (just simple as that).....
but have u tried my earlier suggestion? my friend got the exact problem like you (blank LCD not even bootloader), he was downloaded the original EXEC ROM and try to flash with it (with original upgrade utility also). and the thing start to blink, enter the bootloader and flashing!.....after he manage to wake the device up, then he tried to flash it again with the newest ROM and succeded........
sorry for my english.....
Please don't apologise for your English, thank you for your suggestions!
I didn't quite understand your initial post... but i do now.
Does it have to be the first ROM that it was shipped with or just an original i-mate JasJar ROM?
I can't try it now, but i'm excited to go home and give it a go later tonight... what's more i'm excited at the prospect that there may be some hope for my currently rather expensive paperweight!!!
If the aforementioned doesn't work, i'll try using your attachment.
Cheers again!
it doesn't have to be the first rom that shipped with your imate, just an original one. try your luck then! never give up, keep the faith!!!
sorry, forgot one thing, just ignore the USB error (not recognized) and go for the upgrade (execute the original upgradeUt.exe)
Hi Rudy173.
Thanks for your help, but unfortunately nothing has worked
I have tried running two official JasJar Roms without success... i always get the connection error message (this is surely because the PC always says "device not recognised" when i plug it in).
Also, when i run ENTERBL.exe i just get a failure saying that ...ENTERBL.exe is not a valid WIN32 application... etc...
So unfortunately, i'm still stuck... any further suggestions anyone?
Can the i-mate service centre help me? Is it likely to be expensive?
Back in business )
Wow, not entirely sure what i did... but my Universal is ALIVE!!!
As per the previous post, nothing seemed to be working so i removed Activesync 4.5 beta and reverted to 4.1. I then tried to reflash to an original ROM and the same "connection error" problem happened.
However, next time i tried to enter bootloader, by pressing light, on/off and reset, it went straight into bootloader and i was able to reflash from there
I didn't even need to reflash with an original i-mate ROM. I went straight for Ivan's latest.
This experience has taught me a few things:
1. I have become seriously attached to my Universal!
2. You should never give up hope of retrieval!!
3. This forum is full of very nice helpful people!!!
Thanks everyone.
wow! glad to hear that!
Happy ending....................
I have my device unlocked already and have done many ROM upgrades before, this time my PC froze half way throught the upgrade. The device turns on and gets stuck on the T-mobile screen. It doesnt connect to active sync i cant even get Dashv2unlock to detect my device. Please help somebody.
from what i've read before about this type of issue (somewhat), try removing the battery and SIM for a few minutes, then replace and reboot and see if active sync recognizes it now.
if this info is no longer valid, I apologize.
I think you need to have your phone in bootloader mode and then flash again. Make sure the phone is off, and while holding down the camera key (to the right of the space key), connect the USB cable to your phone. The tri color bootloader screen should appear on your S620. Now run the upgrade file on your PC again.
Let us know how it goes....
im able to get to the tri color screen but when i start any Rom upgrade it gets to 3 percent and fails. I have also tried the SP-1.11 upgradeonly.exe and also the Dashv2Unlocker that i have paid for. Nothing
Hello.
I have HTC ONE X for a long time.
today i suddenly got a notification for update (as far as i remember it was the"heartbleed fix" update).
ive downloaded the update and start the installation.
at the moment i press start the phone turned off and became like a "zombie".
hes not turning on, doesnt show the red led while charging (and also doesnt heat up while charging like it used to).
i tried to connect the phone to my pc but pc doesn't recognize the device, and the phone doen't respond to the connection.
some details on the phone (if you need it): CID_044, the rom was official, official recovery and boot, it was relocked because i did it withot changing anything except the unluck and relock.
i tried to download drivers and re installing them, as well as java.
tried to press power +volume up\down\both.
tried to search for device using adb.
tried to rebbot via fastboot and adb (throught the pc).
all this without any luck.
anyone got anothe suggestions? the phone i completly dead?

Make sure your drivers are installed.. Take battery out and hold both volume buttons and plug in usb

It took me a while as well to figure out the whole 'Download Mode' thing but it became easier once I got the technique down. This is my anecdotal evidence but I dont think you need to surely have drivers installed since I plugged it into my Linux machine and it still entered download mode.
This is the method I used.
1) Turn the device completely off.
2) With one hand, Hold down both Volume arrows on the device for about 3 seconds
3) Using your other hand, plug your device into your computer. (As in, already have it plugged into USB and plug the Micro-USB port into your phone)
4) And it should show 'Download Mode' on your phone.
Hope that helps!
Thank you all bro~
@shayneflashindaily thank you ~I have install/reinstall every Driver,and also got same..
@GreatCaesar: i tried your method , it got same result , still show "secure booting error":crying:
maybe its a bad cable.......
So i was using my phone and decided to restart it after updating my adaway files but my phone never turned back on. The two press the power button screens did not show up either. I tried to uses the MSMdownload tool since i thought my phone was somehow bricked but that didnt work either, it just kept restarting the download process after everything was completed. my computer makes a sound when its connected and it connects correctly as a quallcomm 9008 device but even after all this nothing is working. has anyone experienced something like this or does anyone have any advice?
did you try to long press both power button and vol up ...you should feel a vibration...
maybe it's not turned of maybe it's error causing the screen to be off... also is there any heat?
Which method of the unbrick tool did you use? First or second? If the first, then maybe you should give the second also a try.

I've tried everything and I used th me second method yet nothing happened. I can see my phone get recognized by the computer and get listed on the MSN device list yet nothing happens after it finishes the process. After the green line shows up telling me that it's completed everything the process restarts writhing a few minutes unless I unplug it. No vibration no nothing the phone just died on me after I restarted it .
Try doing MSM on a different PC with all drivers installed , hope it helps
Try to repeat flashing again, there is no other way. Use method 2only. Extract tool again and try flash.
When I was used Xperia Z1, I bricked my phone with a soft brick. So I installed driver in my PC and flash Kernel though FASTBOOT(ADB) either it's not show Device in my PC (I show just "Unknown Device").
After that my phone can connect to my PC again (Now It shown C9303 or something that meant it know it's a phone).
So I can flash by Flashtools again. Soft brick is not scary as Hard brick, you'll find some way to bring it back easily.
Hope this help!
PS. Bricked Phone is WEAK in Battery, always connect it with charger.
