Need Help! - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

I switched on my phone today, and it loaded the o2 screen, and now is permanently stuck on the Black and Blue screen.
I using Tom's B&B 4.0 touch-flo rom.
Please help!

try a hard reset, something similar happened to me when i was using a different rom and a hard reset fixed it, hope that helps.

Hard reset is when you push call and end buttons together and insert the stylus?
Didnt work either.

hmm.. maybe reinstall the rom then? Did you install any programs on the phone??

It's not detecting the fone, hence I cant even reinstall the ROM.

Is there any way 2 recover from this? Or did I just loose 700 bucks!?

Even problem whereas I had any concern with this version v4.0…
I flashé my artemis 4 or 5 times, it went super… (I would have of the Juste to make hardware reset…).
Since my 2 last flash, that blocks on the page during more 5min…
Flash after flash, always similar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1445305&posted=1#post1445305

So wait, were you able to fix it?
As of right now my fone is sitting like a brick on my table.

Me I wait, of the blow I do not make more software reset…
I am obliged to await more 5min before being able to type my code PIN.
I do not include/understand, that had ever done it to me before this last flash.
I have remakes a flash, always similar, even while passing by a ROM Orange, as soon as I pass by again in V4.0, that does it to me!!!!

Its been over 5 mins for me and its still stuck on the B&B screen. HELP!

Make a hard reset and change the ROM....v3.7 for exemple...

Yea, I tried reflashing it, but the Rom update utility doesnt detect the fone at all.

Look this :

It's a french but it's easy with photo !

I read it, but because it never passes the boot screen, it never detects it hence it doesnt show up in the device manager.
What 2 do!?

Try hard reset again. What did you mean when you said it doesn't work? It didn't do anything? It tried re-installing and failed? What happened?
You don't need the ROM update utility to do a hard reset.

B&B 4.0 Getting stuck on the windows loader, is a know problem. TRy a hard reset to fix it.
Hard reset: Stylus in the hole on the side, and press the two " - " buttons between the red and green button.
This should fix the problem. Now you can flash another rom into the P3300. I'm, running 3.4 without any problem. I updated it with the HTC Tabs from Tom wich used in B&B 4.0.

The problem is that V4.0 functioned very well on my first flash…

while reinstalling the plug in HTC Home + the file SDK, that is better!!

I may come back, for now my Artemis is sitting, bricked, on my table and I've tried everything.
Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You need to flash via bootloader - hold record button down and soft reset - you now have multicolored screen - connect via usb and flash - you dont need activesync this way.

Universal (JasJar) is now brick after radio update attempt

Ouch!!!!!
I tried the radio update, during which I got a communication error.
Now I have a brick!
The blue i-mate screen comes up. the rom info is displayed (radio still says 1.03.00) and there it is stuck.
Now what? Hard reset? (how do you hard reset from that point?)
Bootloader? How is that done?
Please help. I am off to go under my blanket to cry.
Just retry the radio update again and again, put it in bootloader
How do I get bootloader? I tried the camera+power+reset combination but it still does the same thing, no bootloader menu.
Or do I have to have the bootloader files in the storage card first?
Can I also get help on how to extract the files. I don't know where the installer is putting the binaries, and at this point I would very much prefer not guessing what files to put where.
bootloader
try this
light + power + reset

That did something. Now I have a white screen (no light) that says "Serial" on top and "v 0. 60" at the bottom.
I have the following files in the sd:
EnterBL.exe
GetServiceData.exe
radio_.nbf
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
But it is not doing anything.
yes, now it's in bootloader. Now connect the jasjar to your pc and execute the upgrade. If it doesnt work kill the activesync processes (WCESMgr.exe and wcescomm.exe) and repeat the upgrade
OK! That seemed to work, but it still gets stuck at the bootup screen (except now it shows the new radio version).
The update program asks for a hard reset, but others in another thread mentioned they did not need a hard reset after this update.
Is there something else I can try before trying a hard reset?
I just spent a week to set the damned thing to the way I like, and don't want to do all that again.
I didnt hard reset. try resetting 2 or 3 times. If it doesnt work then hard reset
I took out the battery. Will wait a bit and try resetting a few times.
How long does it take for yours to show some activity after the rom versions are displayed?
It does take longer for this device to bootup, but I wonder if the new rom made a difference there.
Usually the blue boot screen disappears in 30 seconds. But when i installed pocket plus many times it keeped freezed and a had to reset 3 o 4 times.
Is your case?

Hmm. I don't have pocket plus, but I have the spb gprs monitor (or whatever it is called) at the startup. Maybe that's causing a problem with the new radio.
I will reset 3 - 4 more times and then do a hard reset.
If it does not come back from hard reset, the bawling you hear all the way out there is me.
he he . I ve spb gprs monitor too and it works fine.
good luck :wink:
When perform soft reset, wait 1 or 2 minutes before doing other soft reset
OK, now it is time to cry.
It is not coming back from hard reset either.
It is officially a brick. Any more ideas? Please?
thy to make the update again. Perhaps this revives it
if a radio update is available, maybe a rom update is around the corner.
Or just a recovery standard rom
Does exits an official rom to reinstall jasjar rom?
I am doing the radio update again to see if that helps.
I will probably need to contact imate support for a recovery rom image I suppose. I suppose I should tell them what I was doing.
But this update was from imate, right, so I didn't do anything "wrong".
If someone has a rom, please let me know.
So, I am getting the runaround.
iMate says they don't have the rom to send me and I should send the device to the service center. The service center says they don't work on JasJars there.
So I am stuck with a paperweight?
Try Hard reset....
Just try to Hard reset .. most probably one of your already installed S/W causes the machine to hangup.... once you clear after Hard reset it should boot up.. worse while before sending it back to imate and being blamed for loading un-official and not released update... Unfortunatly there no "shipped rom" yet. you best choice to recover the paper weight is to hard reset and perhaps load S/W again. ... I have been trying to dump the rom for days with no success .. once one of us can do it we are releaseed.
Good luck

Already did the hard reset (many times) and nothing changed.
The problem started after the radio update, and the hard reset does not reset that update (I see the new version on startup).
Unless there is a harder reset I can do, I suppose I will have to wait for the rom.
makes a grown man cry...

Help, Cant start artemis ( mda III )

Hi all
I have a problem, my mda vario compact III wont start,
when i start it, i see t-mobile screen and thats it. I wait for a long time, the same, just t-mobile screen. I tried to hard reset the phone, it worked, the resetting, but still the same problem. Then i tried to get into boot mode, i it worked, i saw a few different colour screen, with the version number. Then i tried to sync it with usb cable, it detects and installs, but active sync doesnt work. There is no memory card in my artemis, i guess thats not a problem.
Does someone know how to reflash or make this problem ? i would appreciate it,i
i did nothing with it, it went just like this, before a installed a game on it, it froze for a while, and then i didnt use it, and the next day using it, it reacted strange,
grtz
zarba
maybe the professionals can help you out,
are you sure you did a hard reset and not simply a soft reset while pressing additional buttons? i dont want to embarass you, but you wouldnt be the first who thinks he did a hard reset. was there a question about losing all data and that you should press the green dial button?
if a hard reset doesnt work, you could try to flash a different rom using either usb connection or sdcard. just search in this forum or here or here to find how to flash. if you use a non-orignial rom, dont forget to use uspl before you flash the rom.

How to reset/reflash without hard reset?

Ill try again then .. Can I somehow reset or reflash the BA from bootloader? 'Cause I can't hard reset the ppc and i cant boot it. It freezes at boot screen and when i hard reset it freezes at the white screen..
HEELP!

You cannot do Hard Reset without... Hard resetting the device.
You can flash new ROM and make no Hard Reset, but it doesn't guarantee you will be able to boot BA, as registry stays untouched and may still prevent BA from booting. Moreover, if you use different ROM, additional problems may push the problem further.
Flashing in bootloader is... standard method of flashing. You can use SD card method or USB. You cannot flash the deivce when it is booted in windows, so I see no problem there.
What puzzles me is "white screen" on hard reset: if indeed this is an HR (how do you initiate it?) even after flashing different ROM, this might be just hardware error and all you can do is to say bye bye to your BA.

After ive selected the settings in debugger screen that resets and then pushed the mail button, the white screen shows up. And it stays.
Ive tried to flash it, but in the guide it said that i should hard reset. It wouldnt boot after the flash, so i thought that it was a "must" the HR (Hard Reset i assume). How do i flash it in another way? I follewed the Wiki guide.

Here's what you need to do:
Hold down the "Volume Down" button and press reset with the stylus. You will enter the Boot Loader. Now plug in your USB cable connecting it to you PC. On the bottom part of the screen (phone) you'll see USB. Now your PC recognizes the phone.
Start a ROM update through the RUU executable and flash your phone with a different ROM.

I think not. Don't know if you have a lot of apps installed after flashing. What you could do is find a ROM that's UC2/sUC compliant. If you create a folder structure on your internal storage like this:
ROOT > Backup and Restore > CAB > CABi
Put all the cabs you want on your device in the CAB folder and all the cabs you want on internal storage in CABi folder. After flashin and initial customization you will find yourself in User Customization (UC). It will state that it found a CAB folder, choose to install. After this it will state that it found a CABi folder, install as well. This reduces the effort of installing all apps after a hard-reset. As for messages, contacts e.g. I suggest you use PPCPimBackup.
same problem, but when I launch the ruu all is ok, until it starts, it stay at 0%, then I get a message that there was a communication error

Try flashing through bootloader. Press reset with stylus while holding volume down. After you're in the bootloader plugin USB cable and start flashing.

tried and didnt work. made it worst in fact :S
startet update trough bootloader, started, updated to 13% and then I was told the update didnt work with my device (or something similar, in norwegian). tried an older update, same problem... :/
when I now boot the phone I'm directly in bootloader, and with the funny message

PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
I might have my hand on a brick... but hope not...
edit:
ooh, news, suddenly its updating moore... after 5 tries it allways stopped at 13%, but now it up to 31% and going strong... will update..
edit2: going strong up to 33%....... wow... well its a start and Im going to try some more.
edit3; 7th time the charm it seems... 100% and all I had to do was sit REALLY still. and I actually downgraded from 2.03 to 1.93 or something... should note that on this point I have tried flashing it with the original 2.03 and 1.93 every other time...
edit4; aaaaand we're back at the TOUCH Diamond screen.
edit5; aaaand after a failed flash to wm 6.5 (stopped/didnt start at 0%)... the phone started... This MIGHT be a clue that I should NOT try to get wm6.5 to run... but that wont stop me
I dont know if anyone else will have the same problems, but atleast this was my way to the resolution

Before you try to flash anything other then a stock ROM, I suggest you take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
You need to have Hard-SPL flashed before flashing any custom ROM. My advice would be to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
cool, will try that one. thnx

Did you hold the volume down button while pressing reset? After pressing reset you should keep holding the volume down button until the tri-color bootscreen appears.

help pls! troubles after flash :(

i flashed for the very first time on the w'end. I'm having a few issues... just wondering if anyone could help me please?
i tried syncing on active sync but couldn't get my contacts onto the phone (although i could before flash).
i forgot to hard reset after flash and I hard reseted the day after I flashed.
after i hard reset, i still couldn't sync. i only want to sync contacts and only have around 50-60 so its not a huuuge amount of ppl. i thought maybe it was bc i didn;t hard reset straight away so i flashed the energy rom again (sorry, idk if its leo or photon? its energy rom 23071 rhodium 21 october) and hard reset straight away.
tried to sync contacts but still nothing (it goes to 'sync' but stays like that ... i have left it for an hour but no contacts get onto the phone)
I also have some other probs that I just noticed this morning. I turned off the phone to try and get it to sync but after i turned it back on, it connected to data straight away. I tried to turn off the data connection but it wouldn't let me - it keeps connecting itself straight away.
I just left the data connection as is and tried to sync again but nothing happened.
So I just unplugged the phone. About 2 hours later I tried to use my phone but it was turned off!!! (I didnt turn it off again). I tried to turn it on, pressed the power button a few times but it didnt turn on so i soft reseted.
An hour later, tried to use my phone but when i tried to wake it up, it wouldn't go into the normal screen. (i could only see the icons at the top of the phone and the rest of the phone was black). I tried pressing the hang up button, the lights came on but nothing else happened.
Does anybody have any suggestions please?
Is it a prob with my phone or how I flashed or something that i may have done to it?
Sorry about the dumbass questions
I had a problem like this with my Touch long ago. Due to bad rom cooked by me (was my first attempt). What I did was put the phone on tri-color, and flash the phone with a working rom. Try that first.
sorry, what do you mean by 'working rom" like the stock rom? :S and if its not a stock rom how do i know if its "working"?
Also, how do i put the screen on tri-colors? sorry major newb here, i had someone on the phone to help me flash (amd it took nearly 3 hrs!)
Sounds like you have a bad flash. Download one of the stock ROM's & flash that. Than try a different custom ROM like either of the ROM's by NRG's/TwoPumpChump's/Monx's. I've tried all of these & they all work nicely. If this works for you try any other ROM you like. Maybe it's just the ROM you're using?
im using the energy rom 23071
i'd have to go to the library to download another rom (im on dial up)
can i flash stock rom and try energy rom again?
To get the Tilt2/TP2 into the tri-color screen you:
1. frmove the battery cover to gain access to the rest hole (small red button on the same side as you stylus)
2. Use your stylus to rest the device while holding the volume down button.
3. Keep holding the volume down button until the tri-color screen comes on.
Now you should be able to re-flash your device (I'm assuming you have run Hard-SPL on your device already).
Good luck!

You should... as long as you have you phone hard-SPL. While in the tri-color screen you should see "0.85.OliNex", if you your have hard-SPL and should be able to flash a custom ROM.
To me it sounds as though you have two issues.
1) as others have said you probably have a goofy flash. Redoing it with another is easiest solution.
2) When you load on a new rom you wipe out any relationship the phone has with activesync. Try deleting your profile in activesync and re-syncing. This is common with people who have also done a hard reset. If you have done this then refer back to #1.
hi guys, thanks for your help.
I reflashed - haven't had much time to use the phone so idk if it's ok now or not.
However, i'm still having probs with active sync i deleted it and made a new partnership, it will connect to my device, i can explore the contents etc but i cannot sync!!! when i look at sync results, it says sync failed. Severity : error
anything else you can suggest for me to do in regards to getting my contacts back on my phone (other than doing it manually lol!)
ok active sync is all good now
haven't used phone enough to know if its all good yet but looking good so far
