Which chip store the Bootloader and the WinCE ?

Dear XDA Developers #... and all other experts,
I had a T-Mobile MDA and I'm affraid that my bootloader had problem with all the buttons. The bootloader V5.15 boots and show GSM OK but none of the action buttons working ? Any Clue ?
Is the Intel #3204C 32MB Flash Memory chip store the bootloader and the WinCE because I had some technical guys who be able to clone the chips using some clonning machine.
Please advice as my MDA had been down for 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance

I would guess you have a hardware problem with the buttons.

Did flashed with SD card but checksum not correct
Dear Peter Poelman,
I did flashed with SD Card 2 weeks ago. Using the XDArit (old ver) and with O2 3.14.13 Rom. I did many restored but everytime it said restored completed but checksum not correct.
I did managed to see the O2 boot screen ( Blue O2) showig 3.14 at the right bottom of the screen but not be able to load the WinCE.
Is there a limit or counter that say number of times SD card restored ?
You think is hardware problem, any solution ? If you think where the fault is, maybe I be able to ask a Technical guy to open the MDA and repair it.
It is not possible to find any T-Mobile support around Asia.
Any respond would be much gratefull

Question: how big was the SD card you flashed with? (It has to be 64 MB minimum if you back up OS and bootloader at the same time.)
I would use XDArit to write an SD card (32 MB card is ok) that contains only the WinCE (OS) part, and try to flash from it. If your card is somehow corrupted, you can use XDArit to read from the OS from the Special Edition nbf-file inside Jeff's exe-file, which you can extract if you open the exe-file with WinZip.
Is there a limit or counter that say number of times SD card restored ?

They actually built such a mechanism for bootloader 5.17, but gave up on it (maybe after is was cracked by us?). But this really does not apply to you as you probably do not have this bootloader (or you would not have been able to make a backup).

Bootloader doesn't kick start to restore ?
I am using a 128MB SD Card.
Now even I wrote the SD Card with the new SER 1.1 .nbf files and insert the SD card into the XDA, Bootloader boots up but it doen't show the screen that say press action buttons to start restore ? It only show Wallaby Bootloader v 5.15 and freeze....
I am afraid that the bootloader on the XDA might be corrupted as well. Any tips or solution for these problem.
I remember reading in this forum saying that the XDA be able to lock all buttons accept the Power button. Seems like my case, the Power buttons, soft reset and hard reset buttons working only, the rest are not functioning. The XDA are still be able to charge on the craddle and the power worn off quite fast. Sometimes I even be able to see the Phone Cancel Buttons ( Red one ), the red light are always on...
Any help would be much grateful

You used XDArit to write the card, right?
You need to describe in much greater detail what you do for me or anyone to be able to help you.

I'm having a T-Mobile MDA in 3.13.12 GER ( 09/16/02) Radio T310
Bootloader v 5.15 and trying to flash O2 3.14.13 Eng Rom :
1. Using bootloader backup Boot+CE to SD Card.
2. Using XDArit (old ver) Read SD and store to PC ( WinXP )
3. Run RSU-eng of O2 Ireland, sucessfully upgrade, GSM no problem.
4. Run RUU-eng of O2 Ireland, Rom Image not found, error 007.
( forget to patch the NK_wallaby31413wwe_o2Full.nbf )
5. Decided to use XDArit (old ver ) to write Boot+CE ( O2 3.14.13).
6. Insert SD Card into MDA, flash restore compeleted but said checksum not correct
( Repeat many times of writing using XDArit (old ver), sometimes CE only but still checksum not correct )
7. Few occation, manage to see the O2 boot screen showing 3.14 but freeze
8. Left the MDA for few days and try the writing using XDArit again
9. Now soft boots, Bootloader boots show GSM OK, but none of the contact, calender and volume buttons work. If there is a SD card in the MDA, bootloader boots show v 5.15 but not be able to read SD Card.
( some of my posting are on Rom Upgrade forum under suajw)
Just to let you know all the about was done before the release of your SER v1.0 and v1.1 and the new version of XDArit v1.02
The MDA still be able to charge the power but will discharge if leave over night.
Any help will be much gratefull

InitDebugSerial can load bootloader+CE ?
Dear Peter Poelman,
If i boot the bootloader in a serial port from a PC using Hyper Terminal, do you think i be able to load the Bootloader+CE from a SD Card using the comand :
c2r ( from your Wallaby Bootloader Page )
Please advice and many thanks in advance
Notes : have not try using serial port to talk to the XDA

Good idea. Try and see, I guess.

Try hooking up the XDA to the serial com and it still not be able to communicate with XDA, even ? <enter> doesn't show any respond.
What could be the problem ?
By the way Peter Poelman, which is the chip that store the Bootloader+WinCE, I might need to ask someone to clon the chip for me from another XDA.
Thanks for your help and time

Can't speak for anyone else, but to be honest, I have no idea what your problem could be. It's something odd, and looking at the steps you performed, my first guess would be that it could be hardware related.
Did you try a different SD-card? 64MB or bigger (when doing BOOT+CE, 32 MB or bigger for CE)? A different SD-card reader/writer?
The fact that it first reported checksum error and now doesn't read the card at all is funny. Suppose there's nothing wrong with the bootloader that's in there, but that you have some weird hardware problem that messes up communication with the hardware-buttons and with the SD.
Once you tried a different SD-card: maybe open it up and clean the SD-card contacts? (And don't come complaining if you end up breaking it further, it's just an idea...)
Either way: I spent some time thinking about it and replying to your posts. Until new facts surface, I really have no clue what to do in your case, and unless I happen to come accross the same problem again, chances are I will not have a clue two days, two weeks or two months from now. Sorry....
Maybe you can have it repaired?
Good luck...

Still not working....
Dear XDA Developers #.....,
Tried with new SD Card and also clean up the contacts of the SD reader, still not be able to work????
Another thing I notice my MDA, when I boots in Bootloader Mode, after the GSM OK, the 'Phone Hangs Up' button always lighten up RED, is this normal. Is you XDA the same when in bootloader mode. The battery gets drain off easily, is it because the WinCE is not there as well????
By the ways, thank for all your reply and times. You have been a great help for me and I have learn quite a lots from these wonderful web site and forums. Keep up the good work......
I might not be able to find someone to repair the device but hopefully to look up for a secondhand O2 PCB Board to swap to...

Flashing bootloader with jtag?
Dear XDA Developers #....,
Do you think flashing the bootloader using jtag might solve my MDA problem ?
in your //xda-developers/jtag page you mention a patch do be download here.... I don't see the link to download the patches.
Could you please verify.....

HELP ME with my dead Hermes, PLEASEEE!

Hi all,
I need to know if someone can help me to bring to life again my lovely JasJam,that was working great until this morning.
The problem is this one:
I was going outside the country this morning (I am in Czech rep. now and I went to Slovakia) and on the way back I realize that my hermes (herm100,spl2.10 olipro,RADIO 1.57,schaps 3.54bITA) was without any signal. I tried an other SIM card and the result was the same.
Once at home, I tried to reinstall schaps,everything was ok,except the signal still missing.At this point,I tried to reinstall the Radio and the bar was still at 0% and after 3 minutes it gave me error 262 and now is with the screen always on (illuminated) on the KITL page and it doesn't start anymore...
please,someone with a good heart,help me.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755

back a live any hermes ( that's as worked whith my hems)
I don't know that's work but try install any official rom from HTC that's have radio information and then you can install any other. but extrat the signedruu. (that's the rom file) and then put the file into a sd card start your herm by pressing simultaneous the power, and ok button and prissing the reset hole whith the stylus pen and follow the steps it's very easy.

thank you Zefo,
but I am Stuck on the bootloader page, I cannot insert a original Rom because ActiveSync doesn't recognize the phone.

Being in the Bootloader page is fine. Just run the RUU Wrapper, it will connect.

What caused the problem? I am a little worried as I am going to Tenerife on Friday and I am running Radio 1.54.07.00 as well (I assume thats what you meant when you said 1.57)...
Is there any reports of going abroad messing up your phone when its been modified with new radio/rom?

Hi Allan,
I would like to run RUU,but ActiveSync doesn't connect my phone,so when I launch it,they don't communicate. The computer see the device,but ActiveSync not, infact, If I try it,Itgive me error 260 Update Error (I used Hard SPL v7)

Stick what you need to flash on a MicroSD card and stick it in the phone, you should be able to boot off of that.
Theres instructions somewhere in the forum on it all.

I got the axact parameters of yours Hermes, STARFURY, it changes only the rom (mine is/was schaps 3.54b).
I am not able to find what you suggest me but I cannot go on the SD if the phone doesn't turn on the OS...How can I do?

Get a usb cardreader plug your microsd card into an sd card adaptor, then plug that into the cardreader and the cardreader into hte PC. Transfer the stuff onto the microsd card and stick it in the phone,.

but I have just to put the 2 files RUU Wrapper (Bootloader) on it in the main root??and how can I make them start?

I was able to go into the OS but I am still with no GSM and if I try to update it,it stops at 12% also with original ROM.
Can anyone give me a link where can I see where the radio chip is located on the mainboard please?

crashed/frozen. wont boot (FInixNOver) - cant reflash!

Hi guys.
I was using the installed the FInixNOver 3.0.1 ROM onto my SPV M700 and it was great. I've had it for about 2 weeks without any problems.
Last night I looked at my phone, only to realise that it was completley dead. This didnt shock me to much because the battery was running low, and i decided to let it die completley before recharging it again.
I charged my phone overnight and switched it on this morning, but the phone would freeze at the 'FInixNOver' splash screen (the numbers at the bottom of the screen would appear overlaying the splash, but the phone wouldnt go pass this point).
The only way to turn off the phone from this state is to eject the battery. I have tried removing the sim card, turning it back on in as many ways as possible but to no avail. I am able to get to the TriColor test screen (im running IPL-0.50 / SPL-1.30.Olipro) but with all the custom roms available, they all use the ROMUpdateUtility which requires the phone to have established an activesync connection initially (but this would mean my phone would have to be 'on completley' - so this is catch 22.)
For the record, my phone/battery died while my wired handsfree was attached (dunno if thats of any interest to anyone or the rom baker).
But it looks like the only way i'll be able to flash my phone is by finding a way to install the .nbh file without using the RUU method. Because I can put my phone into test mode manually.... any help or guidence would be very much appriciated.
Thanks.

Ok can you get it into bootloader? power/camera buttons and reset?
sorry didnt read fully.
right get your device into bootloader first,
then open active sync (are you using xp)
then open connection settings and disable usb connection,
put your device into bootloader mode, then run any rom upgrade, i prefer the WM6.1 pdaviets from HERE (Username: PDAVIET / Password: pdaviet)

Your pda does not need active sync with ruu's, so no catch 22. if you turn off usb connection in active sync, you can still run ruu and it will be recognised, unless you are using vista, where you need to change your HTC SYNC drivers.

Thanks for your quick response...
Yes I can get into boot loader using the power and camera buttons (or holding the power and camera buttons when resetting the phone)...
When the phone is in boot loader mode, active sync doesnt even detect the phone anyway, but nevertheless, I have followed your instructions and disabled the USB Connection. (BTW, yes i am using XP)
The phone is still in boot loader mode, so now i try and execute the ROMUpdateUtility.exe and go through the steps, at the 1st step i tick the tickbox and click next, and the 2nd step i tick the tickbox and click next. (this step says DO NOT enter the bootloader manually? - but i have havent i?) anyway, when i click next, it says... "Verifying the information on your Trinity... Please Wait..." for about 10 seconds, and then i get a message "ERROR [260] : CONNECTION"
What am i doing wrong?

Huumm.. why dont you flash your phone throw the sd card??

I would recommend this option above, to be safe, i usually get them error messages when the battery is below 50% or sometimes i try it again and it works. it does state do not manually enter bootloader but i always do it this way.

also make sure active sync is not still running in taskmanager under the alais: wcescomm.exe and WCESMGR.exe, end them both.

I've just tried using an official ROM, but the problem still occurs with the 'connecting'. It doesnt seem that the computer picks up a connection to the phone whatsoever.
Should i be concerned that at the bottom of the bootloader screen it says "serial", is this correct?
Im starting to get annoyed now.

Bye,
the bottom of the sreen mast say "usb" not serial.

it seems there is a problem, if it states serial. as it should say usb. try THIS

Seems like the problem was that my USB lead was loose and made a bad connection, hence why the bootloader showed 'serial' and not 'usb'... as soon as i wiggled it and heard the 'connection noise' in windows, i knew i was good to go, and so using the RUU worked fine to reupdate my phones ROM.
Thanks for your help.
My only question is that why did it happen in the first plave?

WIZZKID - I just saw your post here now. I have to tell you that I also saw "SERIAL" at the bottom of the bootloader screen and not "USB". As I said I returned it to get another phone but maybe I will try something else for now instead of a P3600i. I will monitor your thread to see how it turns out for your phone, because it seems that we have the same problem.

if you see "serial" instead "usb" your problem is in the usb cable, usb port from your computer or in the usb connector from your trinity!!!!!
I was having the same problem that you have!! my problem was from my usb from mine trinity!! see if the conector is at good conditions !!!

Well as some of you may know, I got my Trinity replaced for sticking at the WM splash screen after a few days. This second one - I have had it ONE night - and the same thing has happened with incomplete booting. This time I have been trying all night to flash the phone to an official ROM, but I cannot do it (apparently) because I can't establish a connection via ActiveSync. When I stick the data cable in while in bootloader I see SERIAL replaced by USB and when I try the flash I get a "270" error (cannot connect to phone) and the phone re-boots to the sticking plash screen. What should I do now?

ladies and gentlemen...
we've got a lot of mixed messages in this thread.. please make sure you're posting the right thing. no need to disable USB when manually going in to bootloader to flash (at least in xp).. Also, you can ignore the part of the RUU that says 'do not manually enter bootloader' (you should really read the guide on my site)
foxuniform- can you please give some details..
1) are you running xp or vista
2) have you flashed hard-spl? if so what version?
in the mean time, try a couple of things.. first, flash hard-spl (even if you already have it, but from the sound of it i think you don't have it on your device).. if that works, try to flash an official ROM. Can also try to use splxploit, then flash hard-spl, and then flash official ROM (there's a guide on my site if you're unsure)
please post your results
*edit*
here are the steps for SD card upgrade, but i HIGHLY recommend flashing Hard-spl first..
try to do it from SD card. how?
Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract (http://www.cabextract.org.uk/) .
Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
Make sure your SD has FAT32 and has no label. There have been reports that if SD has a label the bootloader can not access the TRINIMG.nbh

racerx_ I have carefully read your response and suggestions, and thanks for your expertise input on the matter. I am fairly new to this stuff so read below carefully as you may find errors in the way I tried to go about doing what I was hoping to accomplish.
First let me answer your questions. I am running Windows XP. The phone is in it's completely natural state in that I have not flashed it in any way. The ROM I was TRYING to flash to the phone while it was not starting properly (this is where I manually entered bootloader) is an official ROM from the HTC website (please note everyone that when I registered my P3600i on the HTC website it came up as the Dopod 810). Anyway, that never worked. ActiveSync never detected the phone (and I guess that's the reason I could not do anything as far as flashing goes). I HARD-RESET my P3600i and it booted normally. I re-installed all the stuff I had on it, from memory card to various .cab files, and the phone is working beautifully thus far. I will report if anything funny happens again.
I have to ask you racerx_, if I CAN flash hard-SPL on the P3600i according to the lovely guide on www.trinityguides.info. I have been of the opinion that things don't work for the P3600i as they did for the P3600, and that has been echoed by many P3600i users on this forum who are ready and waiting to try out some cooked ROMs (myself included).
For the sake of record, my phone is running rom version 3.00.707.17 and radio version 1.46.00.11. I patiently await your response.

woaaahhh..
i didn't notice the 'i' in your previous post... yeah, as far as i know, these ROMs are not flashable on your p3600i.. sorry..
**correct me if i'm wrong somebody**

Yeah I kinda thought that would be your response. By the way - do you think that this phenomenon of sticking at the Windows Mobile splash screen (both the P3600 and P3600i models apparently) has anything to do with something users do with the devices, or you figure it's an inherent software glitch of some sort? I am wondering if I should try a different model or hold on to my P3600i? Hope it's not something that'll happen again - I fly for a living and it's not gonna be good to have the thing screw up on me away from base - I really count on it for everything from casual keeping in touch on Messenger to viewing my work schedule. I love the Trinity though - it's one of my all-time favourite HTC phones.

hmm... i don't think its inherent in the Trinity.. (not a hardware issue.. in my opinion)
its been a while since i followed the posts on it, but always seems to be software related.. sometimes ROM-specific problem. Personally, i've probably flashed as many ROMs as anyone and the only time i ever encountered problems was with the official HTC WM6 ha.. go figure.. I think ppl did find that hard resets before and after flashing are helpful as well..
i love my trinity, and there's not much else on the market to make me want to trade it in (is it just me, or have pda's kind of stopped getting cooler).. i'd stick with it..

Help-Artemis locked at startup screen

Hi,
I'm using Artemis with one of Tom's ROM. The device was working well. But today suddenly the device won't start up - it is locked at the startup screen showing the SPL, IPL etc. I can enter the bootloader.
Can anybody tell me how to flash the ROM at this stage?

Flash from bootloader
Hi!
Please download an official rom and keep pressed the Power and Record buttons. You will see a screen with 3 colors (red green blue). Connect the USB cable and wait for Activesync. After this start the original rom flasher and follow the instructions. If you can start the Windows, you should flash the USPL again and you can flash cooked roms. If you flashed a new one, i think you should also upgrade the radio rom.
Sorry for my English

well i'll give it a try.
BTW will activesync work if the phone is not booting up?

sure it will, but make sure you have the only phone pluged in, nothing else, and disable all firewalls and antivriuses.
Good luck

i flashed with htc official rom and it worked first. after soft resetting a few time (due to program installation) the phone again back to earlier state.
it is showing:
ipl 3.13.0001
spl 3.13.0000
gsm 2.94.90
os 3.13.0.0
and stuck at this screen.
i tried to update the phone again with the same rom - but i'm getting error 270.
do i need to unlock cid before flashing?
but i can't use the uspl tool as i can't connect to activesync.
pls help.

make sure the battery is fully charged again.
Restart your PC, isbale ll antivirus and firewalls
Better if flashing in XP PC
put PPC in Boating status
Flash Shipped ROM
Specify which software caused you the trouble and do not install it again
CID unlock PPC
Flash any cooked ROM.

once i flashed the phone with the shipped rom successfully. The phone was CID unlocked then. But now when I try to flash the shipped again i'm getting an error message (error 292 or something - stating-invalid vendor id)

USPL needs activesync running. Can you tell me how to run USPL when I can't boot into windows?

well,
its been some time, but i am pretty sure uspl puts your device into bootloader and operates from there...
have you tried setting it into bootloader, connecting via usb and simply starting uspl?
running a normal setup-routine, there is no need to start it from wm either-simply put it into bootloader and start setup!
greetz

Well i tried that. But it seems that USPL doesn't work without activesync.
i've also tried flashing with SD card, but after a brief "Checking SD card content" message the phone goes back to bootloader.
Someone helpppp pls.

are u sure your sd card is correctly configured, according to the wiki entry- especially part "if above fails" ...?
if all steps fail, assumed you performed them correctly, you might try taking out battery and leave the device fully without power overnight...and restart it the next morning

I've used a 512MB SD card - formatted it- and copied the OS file as ARTEIMG.nbh - put the sd card in the phone and started the phone in bootloader mode.
I think there is nothing more to do.
I can enter the bootloader, connect the phone to PC in USB mode. So, I hope that my phone is not bricked.
But how to revive it?

if you are in bootloader, i dont see why you shouldnt be able to flash!!!
try another sd-card, use another xp computer, exchange the usb cable...
yust to be certain: have you left out battery over-night?
...and what are the details stated on boot-loader screen (numbers)?
oh, and I get the feeling you are not working exactly as told:
in your PC right-click on Computer, then select Manage
Select Disk Manager and then delete existing partition
create a new partition with max size 256MB
format this partition in FAT32

i can only advise you to keep trying...but as long as you can not say for sure sd-card-flashing is working correctly, i wouldnt give up...
and as far as flshing bootloader via usb/activesync goes, i can only say i once screwed my device due to insufficiant battery power during sd-card-flashing and thought it was bricked just at the point you are stuck now!!! - totally resetting it with the power-oiut-method, i.e. battery out overnight, revived it!!!
than agin i sure as hell did everything the way it was ment o be done...and nothing worked until i switched to another pc/ usb-cable!!!
so, to sum it up, DONT GIVE UP!!! bootloader is showing...so there must be a way to get this to work...

Asus P525, help required...!

I just got a P525 from a friend, who didn't need it anymore, and thought of updating it to WM 6.1
I read a lot of what is written here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407238
I followed the recommended procedure and updated the bootloader first,
according to the author's walkthrough.
The bootloader update worked, and I was prompted to end the procedure by
pushing both the standby and the reset-button, which I did.
But after that.... nothing. I tried to repeat the whole thing, but whatever
file I put on the mini-SD card, nothing happens.
I can't hard-reset the phone, all I can do is enter bootloader, and force mode.
It doesn't matter if I push either the camera button or the record button plus the reset button, all I get is:
Galaxy FlashROM Update
2007/05/18 18:03:59 (time is okay)
CPU Version: PXA27x
Please plug AC/USB cable!
Waiting....
The phone does register when I plug either the AC or USB cable, but after
that, nothing happens. It only says "Waiting...".
Like I said, I read a lot of articles here, and I am no noob when it comes to
flashing, I've flashed almost every HTC device there is, but this is my first try
on an ASUS.
So, any help or hint is much appreciated!

file I put on the mini-SD card, nothing happens.
I can't hard-reset the phone, all I can do is enter bootloader, and force mode.
It doesn't matter if I push either the camera button or the record button plus the reset button, all I get is:
Galaxy FlashROM Update
2007/05/18 18:03:59 (time is okay)
CPU Version: PXA27x
Please plug AC/USB cable!
Waiting....
The phone does register when I plug either the AC or USB cable, but after
that, nothing happens. It only says "Waiting...".
Like I said, I read a lot of articles here, and I am no noob when it comes to
flashing, I've flashed almost every HTC device there is, but this is my first try
on an ASUS.
So, any help or hint is much appreciated!

grab "ROMGalaxy.nb0" put on mini sd and flash using combination

Thanks for the quick reply, but I already tried numerous .nb0 files from this site.
I also tried to downgrade the bootloader to WM5 back, but no matter what kind of file I put on my mini-SD card, nothing happens after I insert it.
Do I have to push a button after inserting it?

u need to press camera+reset or voicerecorder+reset in order to start flashing

Yes, I know that I have to do that to enter the bootloader.
Like I wrote before, I AM able to access the bootloader both via camera+reset,
and record+reset, as well as access the force mode.
What is the difference between the first two methods?
Shouldn't the phone by itself be able to recognize the .nb0 files I put on the card, and immediately start the update process, once it recognizes that there
are valid files on the card?
Or do I have to push a button to start the process?

Oh, come on, there has to be someone who has an idea of what to do or
at least of what to try....?
After messing around with a lot of .nb0 files, I am now of the opinion that the problem is that the card reader won't read or recognize the files on the miniSD
card.
