My DOPD - bought in China was running a chinese version of WM5.0 and I wanted to install a english version.
After upgrading my DOPOD 900 with the upgrade : Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip I have problem.
It is really DEAD. soft reset does nothing and a hard reset only gives the option of "0" and "X" which do nothing.
the USB is no longer recognised and nothing seems to want to communicate with the Dopod. It seems the USB loader program is no longer running on the Dopod.
Has anybody any idea how I can attach to the device an install a new bootloader, or something.
I had the same issue and I have a solution. But, let me tell you my process that got me where you are.
I tried performing the update using the No_ID (or whatever) method and kept getting errors. I rebooted my PC and changed the Operator ID using the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.
After this, I was able to use the typical installer. The flash went fine and I hard reset as instructed. From that point on, I had your exact problem.
A dead screen. I was able to redo the hard reset after pulling the battery but I would just end up with the dead (blank) screen again. ONCE, I did get it into boot loader mode where I could actually read the screen. But, of course I reset and again had a dead screen.
My solution was to revert back to a true O2 ROM. Even though I couldn't see the screen (still can't), the ROM update is proceeding as I type this. I'm at 44% of the radio ROM installed.
Hope this gives you hope!
Well, good news. I just finished the ROM update and I'm looking at the O2 boot image.
Is there any indication that the QTek ROM looks for the Carrier info to be QTek or it will fail once installed? Just wondering why I had this problem.
ARG! Reflashing with QTek ROM did the same thing. :evil:
Blank screen and all.
check 2 things
uncheck usb from active sync
hardreset after upgrade has been completed
just do the upgrade again and it should come alive again
Thanks and another question
Well thanks for the hope. but I have tried this already with no luck, however after this message I will try again. My biggest problem is that I cant regain communication over the usb.
I would like to know how your system behaved when you plugged in your apparantely dead device. My system just says device un recognised and I cant begin a download with or without active sync.
So I cant get another rom image to download.

This was the first thing I did.
The problem is that I cannot get any communication over the USB.
The device is unrecognised on USB and after starting any ROM download it just timesout after "checking information from device" message .
Ever seen a dead USB interface like this ?
The USB PnP mgr sees the hardware but cannot establish the device type !!

@mobinick: You and I have the same situation.
I have 2 Universal dead like this. 1 Exec and 1 Jasjar.
Both dead, blank screen, can not enter bootloader, can not connect with PC. PC can not recognize the driver usb of the device.
I opened the phone and found that logically everything is so so. There is no clue about hardware.
So I think: the address of the bootloader with device ID maybe unlucky damaged.
Who can fix this problem pls share us some experience.
Thanksss

Why don't you guys take it to your respective service centres and get it fixed?
Even if you have to pay something, it will certainly be better than these bricks occupying table space.
Have you tried going back to an original O2 ROM? I went to 1.13.139 WWE and all is fine now.
Just to share my experience with you guys here:
I posted my problem way back during the Radio Upgrade from 1.04 to 1.06. My Dopod 900 got stuck on the splashscreen. I couldn't get my device to pass the splashscreen even after upgrading/downgrading the radio ROM back and forth two times.
Finally, I just forced my device into bootloader mode (Backlight+Reset+Power). Even after doing this, the dopod screen was completely blank (no indication of serial/usb letter on the screen). I downloaded the official O2 exec ROM and plug my device (in bootloader mode) back to the USB port. It said unrecognized port on my PC. Despite that, I reflashed my Dopod back with the NoID tool the complete O2 ROM (Radio, Main ROM & The extended). Once completed, my device regained its consciousness.
I managed to flashed back the 1.06 radio after that. And has since been upgraded 4 times (two i-mate, one Orange and the latest QTek ROM) with no problem whatsoever.
I had the exact same problem as you to guys, i tried to update it, and it wouldn't budge...
It constantly, without fail timed out... I tried everything...
As my hope started to wain, i gave it one last shot...
I took out everything, sim and sd and battery, then connect the battery back and from the bootloader menu, connected it to the pc, with usb cable...
Finally it worked!! Like normal, i was able to load any and all rom and radio updates...
Wouldn't work, from the normal working screen (which was working for a while, i later tested this out, and found out ) and also wouldn't work, from the bootloader (power+backlight+reset) with sim+flash in there....
Hope you guys have some luck.. I htink you should, because i was in the exact same boots as you guys...
It worked for me
My O2 Exec did exactly the same thing, and I spent (on and off) 24 hours trying to get the damn thing to go again - wouldnt charge either....
I too finally took out everything, SIM and sd and battery, then connect the battery back and from the bootloader menu (which I only found about from this site), connected it to the pc, with usb cable...
It worked as well - bloody brilliant. I now have the latest 02Exec Upgrade (Version 1.30.162 AKU2 Release) and all is great.
Cant believe that 2 days after logging email with O2 site, they have not responded...
Would almost kiss you guys.....
Solution for getting stuck in bootloader
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen
Hi guys.
Was hoping you could help me out.
I performed a search on the forums and didn't find the answer.
I have an O2 XDAII.
I tried to upgrade the ROM from the O2 site.
The upgrade somehow went south and the only thing I have on the sceen of the device is:
At the top - "Serial"
At the bottom - "v1. 06"
I tried taking out the battery and then putting it in again, but the same things appear on screen as detailed above.
Any suggestions/advice would be gladly appreciated.
I had that.
I plugged back in the USB cable and the message changed from Serial to USB - I then re-ran the ROM upgrade and it all worked OK.
Give it a try and let me know how you got on.
I'm getting the same problem. On my phone (UTStarcomm PPC6700), I have the Serial/USB header, with a V1.00 on the bottom.
When I first attempted the ROM Upgrade, it switched over to the screen. I've tried removing the battery, resetting, and re-launching the ROM upgrade app, but nothing.
Any other ideas???
solutions found?
Anyone know the solution?

ISTR that when you get to that screen it is after a hard reset.
You should just be able to hook up the USB cable and re-install the rom.
If you are having problems re-installing the rom, what sort of error messages are you getting?
Have you tried installing another ROM?
Serial v1.01
This is all that is written on the grey screen after trying to install ROM. Does anyone know how to proceed? I have an i-mate Jasjar.
It doesn't sound as though the rom is getting installed properly.
Do you get any error messages from the ROM installer?
I did not get any errors while installing. I did upgrade to 1.30.101 some weeks ago, but the phone turned very slow and froze. Therefore I now tried to install 1.30.77. Now the screen is grey and the only text is serial and v1.01. Anyone know how to proceed?
problems updating ROM
I have a Tmobile MDA PRO. I updated the ROM to the newest version, but now my phone only displays a screen with a tmobile logo, and the version information and thats it.
I tried to do a hard reset and still the same thing, I tried to redo the ROM install program, but its says[error message 101] that my phone is on but it cannot connect to it.
I have had my phone for one day and it is virtually useless.
Can someone please tell me how to flash the rom, or which is the best ROM to install for the mda pro/qtek 9000 series?
Help would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

Go and get your MDA PRO into Bootloader Mode: Press backlight + power button and do a reset. You should now see without backlight on top of your screen: serial and on the bottom: v.1.xx
Now connect MDA PRO with the USB datacable and run the ROM Update
again .. hopefully you have 50%+ battery capacity

try racharge you batery using external charger... than put your device to boot loader mode (serial on top & bootloader version bottom) than try to flash again
cheers
indra9110
yes its already on boot loader mode and i am unable to go off it. also i am unable to charge the battery with the external adapter.
Is there any software that can be used to flash without using active sync cause it has developed its own usb connection.
its always saying serial on top and V1.00 at the buttom
thanks for quick reply.

with what software
please tell me

i have retryed my upgrade software but as i do not have active sync connection i am unable to install via software. please let me know which software you are taking about.
You dont need active sync for upgrading your ROM. When the device is in bootloader (and yours obviously is ;-), connect it to a pc through the usb cable and run the upgrade utility from the orange site again. Sometimes it takes two or three times.
hello, THANKS A LOT. YOU HAVE EXPLAINED TO ME EVERYTHING THAT EVEN THE COMPANY ORANGE COULD NOT DO..,
Your da true expert in this device.
Thank you every much.
all of you that have reply thank you very much
Hi all,
I've the following problem. A friend told me he found a new AKU 3.5 rom of Helmi and he sent it to me.
I unzipped it, checked the files who lookeed good and flashed my universal.
Once finished, tried reboot and got black screen.
After spending 2 hours to go back in bootloader mode (no success) and after looking in the files, seems he sent me a Blue Angel rom and no Universal.
Phone refuse to go in bootloader mode. Black screen. :s but when I put it in usb, windows says unrecognized USB device.
Any one can help please :$

I just tried several previous official and un-official upgrades but none detected the universal.
Tried mtty methode too but nothing detected on USB port. (Killed active sync modules with task manager)
Tried several times to enter in bootloader mode but nothing displays on screen like before. Screen stays black.
I hope it isn't broken cause seems windows detected something pluged on the usb

your best bet with be take it back to your mobile phone vendor, because the motherboard is messed, and nothing can be done apart from replacing the motherboard

No other way to get it back in bootloader mode ?
since the bootloader is also overwritten with something from the BA ROM, it is improbable.
Hi !
I had a similar problem, but I am in bootloader mode, but I can't reflash my board. Does anyone knows how should I do ?
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a huge problem and I hope you guys can help me. I tried to flash the orbit (german) artemis of my brother. First flashed the uspl and everything worked fine. At the end there came this penguin picture and the screen stayed black/blue. Then I flashed the rom (MossisROMV3.0GER Windows Mobile 6.5).
HOWEVER: Right then the battery of the laptop went down and the pc switched off. Unfortunately we couldnt plug it in, since we didnt have the cable with us. Now after pluging in the pc there were some connection error notices. Since I didnt know how to proceed I removed the battery of the artemis. I thought I should repeat everything from the beginning on. However the phone always got stuck at the blue o2 screen showing the data:
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0000
GSM 02.88.90
OS 3.13.0.0
Softreset and harrest doesnt make any difference. The phone always gets stuck here.
Is the phone bricked?? Why then does it start? Please help me out asap, since the phone is needed. What can I do?
Thanks in advance
brm
first you are NOT CID unlocked (SPL 3.04.0000)
so you can only flash german orbit ROM on the phone to revive it
1. get to bootloader (press and hold the record button and reset the phone using stylus)
you will get the tri colour screen
2. connect the phone via USB to PC (no need to look for activesync/WMDC connection in this case)
3. and run the RUU (official O2 german ROM for O2 Xda Orbit)
BTW i have official o2 UK ROM in my 4shared account
look for the link in my signature
you may try your luck on that
Hi,
thanks for the fast respond. I read the just before some where else and right now I am searching for the original german rom. However cant find it anywere.
Do you think the english one will work too?
best,
brm

Hi again,
after installing a wm 6.5 ger rom i must say i dont like it at all. can you recommend me another one? i think one with htc touchflo would be great, but which one is it?
If i want to flash a new rom, do i first have to flash the original rom before proceeding?

brm
