my Asus A639 is bricked - blue screen - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hello there,
I just powered on my PDA and there it was ... blue screen and nothing happens...
didn't tried to update didn't try to do nothing.. just wanted to use it regularly and it died...
So far I've downloaded the update file of my language from asus site which is ZIP file with 3 files.. upgrade tool.exe , Update.Img , update.dat.
what should I do from here?
please help me..
thank you very much.

see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401850 for details

thanks
yeah , I've already saw this thread but since I want to Install hebrew version I thought It will be complicated...
so here is my problem...
I've downloaded cmonex DIO file and managed to Install it on my device.
the status now is as follows : It's now working in the english version , but somehow when I try to open the upgrade tool.exe , the one I got with the zip I've downloaded from the ASUS site it says "please connect to AC adapter" wheres my device is connected to the AC adapter and charging light is def on.
could someone provide a fixed upgrade tool.exe file?
or explain to me simply how to change the hebrew img file so that I would be able to install it on my device with the Rom loaded option (like I did with the DIO) ?
thank you very much for helping me.

can any help: ROm Upgrading problem

I was upgrading my XDA2, it said completed, and when i restarted it, the o2 splash screen appears with radio verson 1.17 and thats where it stays... can anyone help. I have tried reinstalling the rom.... but it cant see the pda, and aborts...
Help would be appreciated
Does your device have a bootloader mode? If so get it into, connect usb & start upgrade program. This works on a magician, maybe on yours too?
Regards, M
thank you for the advice, but it is himayalian model.....so i do not know it it has a boot loader.
Read & repair
Hi Smudge,
Take a look at this post & got it from the thread 'stuck in 02 splash screen' at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25830&highlight=himalaya bootloader 4th post.

well my friend i think somehow ur OS is lost and all u still have is the extended rom OS image,that's why u still see the splash screen...
i assume that ur device is a himalaya(though u did'nt mention any informations :wink: ),but if really is,then do the following:
1-log in to this forum as user:xda pass:xda
2-go to ftp server from the wiki page(up left ur screen)
3-go to himalaya folder and download any rom u would like 2 have(it can appear in several way,exe file or several files zipped in a .zip)
4-if it's and exe file and u have winrar,then extract the content in a folder,u will find 6 files(maybe less,rarely 1 file more-xda2nbftool.exe-),now forget about this file for the moment
u will need 2 file to fix ur phone:nk.nbf & HimauUpgradeUt.exe(i idvice u to dowload an O2 rom upgrade to prevent country id error wich can be fixed if necessary )
now that u have the tools,do the following:
1-press power button+navigation pad(the round one between the green and the red buttons)+reset b
utton SIMULTANESLY,u will enter bootloader mode(blank screen with serial on the upper side of the screen,number like 1.06 on the buttom)
2-put the cradle in usb port DIRECTLY IN UR COMPUTER NOT THROUGH USB HUB
3-put ur phone in the cradle while it's in bootloader mode,u will see that the serial word in the upper screen have changed into USB
4-run HimaUpgradeUt.exe and follow the on screen instructions,u will see a status bar,wait untill it finishes,hard reset ur phone,and here we go
i forgot to mension that u should put those 2 files(HimaUpgradeUt.exe & nk.nbf),in a separate folder,close any open task on ur desktop/laptop,and PUT UR CHARGER IN THE CRADLE for the battery don't run out...
hope i helped
tell me what happened with u dude,and remember that ur in the best PDAs developping site in the world,so don't worry,hopefully,everything can be fixed....

The latest English ROM is Dopod 1.30.111 WWE(World Wide English) with latest Radio 1.11.00. The second is Qtek 1.30.77 WWE with Radio 1.09.00. They all can download at ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal with user name:xda and password:xda. But, read the detailed instructions before upgrading at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Upgrading your device with different ROM wil show you Country ID error and use the program instead at http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9885

I had the same problem with a German T-mobile MDA PRO from Ebay and first think i did was to try and change the language.
First attempt went wrong and the phone would not turn on, but i flashed it again and all was OK.
I think the fault is the way you flash it. I discovered you must follow some important steps.
If the upgrade is a standalone file you must extract the firmware files in a directory like C:\flash (using winrar for example) where you can do the following:
1. Find MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and later use it to flash, DO NOT USE ROMUpgradeUt.exe.
2. Edit RUU.conf and add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 at the end.
3. Put the phone in bootloader mode (bootloader mode is where it shows usb on top and v1.0 at the bottom, so your phone is allready there)
4. connect usb cable (do not use a usb hub, plug directly on the computer).
5. Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, and ----VERY IMPORTANT---- after the first screen when it displays the firmware version you are about to flash (it does not detect the version on the phone) WAIT 10 SECONDS. Then press continue, and wait for 20 minutes until it finishes.
Hope you make it...
HI MAN

HOW TO USE AN ENGLISH ROM to switch the SGH-i718 from Chinese into English

Hi there,
In another post I asked for a method of converting my strictly Chinese SGH-i718 into English. Now, I know that an English version exists, as you can buy an identical phone in English (i think that is the SGH-i710).
Someone posted a link to a file to purports to be an English ROM for the phone, and I have now downloaded it.
Links are http://rapidshare.com/files/45439904/Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.rar.html
and
http://rapidshare.com/files/45950071/Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_Phone_Eng.rar.html
How on earth do I use the ROM without totally bricking my phone?
The file is named;
Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.rar
When I extract it, I have an EXE file named;
i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng
which is described as "UnifiedMultiDownloader MFC 응용 프로그램"
When I open it, it has a screen that says "no phone detected" or something like that, and then it closes and the Microsoft Windows Data Execution Protection pops up and says it closed it to protect my computer.
1) Would you trust this file?
2) If yes, how does it work?
Thanks guys 'n' gals
May I ask where you get these files from?

As listed in the links in my post. They are not mine. The links were provided through another thread on a similar issue.
IT WORKS!
FYI: I used the PDA rom, the first one, and it works! It works incredibly well in fact. After use, when I switched the phone on, it started up in English and prompted me to set the phone up as if it was the first time it had ever been turned on. I will post the full instructions tomorrow (4:30am here and I can't be bothered right now)
It's Done!! Here's How
Well, here's the deal. The forums only work if people help each other. If I were to find out how to do it and not tell you, it would defeat the purpose of having forums and being able to help each other in the first place.
So anyway, I ended up finding a forum with a bunch of awesome Chinese people who helped me to flash it. I already had the file from another forum, and the fact that this guy posted the exact same files, then gave me a step-by-step, made me confident that this flash would actually work.
I have now successfully used the process below to flash the PDA part of my i718. I HAVE NOT FLASHED THE PHONE (RADIO) PART YET BECAUSE MY ORIGINAL PHONE ROM IS STILL WORKING AFTER THE FLASH OF THE PDA ROM.
Here is the process below with no spelling mistakes corrected...
Samsung i718 PPC Phone flash ROM procedure + WM6 English ROM
(A) CABLES
Two Cables are needed for i718 to flash rom.
Cable 1 = USB Cable accompany with your PPC Phone for ActiveSync for the flash of ROM.
Cable 2 = Special USB Phone Flash Cable for the flash of Phone Function ... it seems to be the Radio ROM. It is competible with Samsung normal phone model D828.
USB Phone Flash Cable Info from Taobao site:
Phone Flash Cable 1
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-0db2-bd590543d74abee85f6e49e9376b2cca.jhtml
Phone Flash Cable 2:
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-0db1-c02f02c2861d77ee6cdc7109e5648732.jhtml
(B) FLASH ROM (PDA FUNCTION)
1. Charge PPC Phone to full power.
2. PC with ActiveSync V4.5 installed.
3. Inside the ActiveSync connection settings, <UNCHECK> Allow USB connections and <CHECK> Allow connections to one of the following: COM? (The port number is your USB will be connected). (trial and error until you get a successful Activesync connection)
4. POWER OFF your PPC Phone and connect it with the USB cable to the PC. (Use cable 1)
5. Run the downloaded WM6 ROM <i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.exe>; and choose Detect in POP-UP screen when the program started.
6. Check your PPC Phone is firm connected with PC and POWER ON your phone now.
7. The original ROM program will auto flash the new ROM into the PPC Phone.
8. Just pay attention to the screen of the PPC Phone and follow and instructions pop-up to finish the whole upgrade.
9. After completion, you can check your ROM version inside the PPC Phone, and it will be the new <Version i718ZMGF4>.
(C) FLASH RADIO ROM (PHONE FUNCTION)
1. Install the phone flash driver which is inside the CD that is accompanied with the Cable 2 .
2. POWER OFF your PPC Phone and connect it with the USB cable to the PC. (Use cable 2)
3. Run the bootloader flash program <Qingdao_downloader_v04.exe> inside the folder of <i718ZMGF4_PhoneRom>.
4. In the program screen of <Files to Download>:
1st Boot Loader: Click BIN... choose boot.bin file.
2nd Main Binary: Click BIN... choose i718ZMGF4.cla file.
3rd BP Engine: Click BIN... choose bpexec.bin file.
5. Check your PC's COM number connect with this cable and set the COM Port speed according this cable.
6. Then inside this program choose the Serial Port: COM? (same as your PC's COM Port number).
7. Click the <START> button and it will start to check your Phone ID (if it cannot find the ID, your can disconnect the cable and insert it again to try OR power on the phone to help this Phone ID checking).
8. When Phone ID checking is sucessed, Click the <ALL DOWNLOAD> button to start to flash.
9. After flash is completed, reset the PPC Phone by input *2767*3855# to process.
CAUTION in RADIO ROM FLASHING:
When flashing the Radio ROM/Phone Function or after flash, it will show <Phone Error, Run Later> or similar words. It is normal because the PPC Phone is under phone function flashing procedure and cannot be used. After all upgrade is finished, you just power off the PPC Phone and turn it on again to make it back to normal to fully finish the upgrade procedure.
.....................
So there is it everyone. I hope this helps you to flash your Chinese version Samsung SGH-i718 and enjoy it as much as I am currently.

I'm pretty sure that the i710 and i718 are identical. I think the i710 was designed for sale in western countries, whereas the i718 is specifically branded for Chinese markets.
I think the firmware would be similar, just in other languages.
Give this conversion method a try!
the rom is ok for i710
pda part use usb cable
phone part use serial cable (i used also one prolific based cable)

sorinm
how can i use this ROM with vista ( non compatible with active sync)
Tthanks
flashing under vista is not supported! flasher is 2k/xp compatible only!

Hi ,I´m very curious about this upgrade : how stable is tis rom ? what changes in fact ? thanks for any answers.
i have upgraded my phone i710 well but after upgrading my gprs sto working.i tried all kinds of settings but its not working ,is this s a bug in this rom.
i warn all other members too
and pls any one tell me how can i come back to my perivious wm5,bcoz without gprs my ppc s just a brick
jashi said:

Don't panic! To get gprs working you must flash both pda and phone parts of firmware. Read first post to learn how to do this. To get back wm5 you need to serach something like I710XEGF2 (xe means russian variant, which is yours i don't know) in google. If you still need WM6, but have no possibility to flash phone part (have no cable etc..) you need to find an official samsung update for I710 (not I718) - something like I710UXEGG1 (U means WM6, XE means russian again).
brother i need my perivious wm5 rom. i cannt live without gprs on my phone.pls give me any link for my i710 original firmware.
i also want to tell u that i had made a backup by using sprite backup,can it restore my perivious wm5 firmware.plsss guide me
Pls attach d picture of flas cable for radio rom,is it available in india.
Or how can i make my new cable

Hello everyone, I found this thread from google search, I have a China version of SGH-i718+ , This phone was given by my dad, I can barely read any chinese, so I wish could convert this to english version, I believe it runs WM6 Chinese.
Does this rom works for this phone? or is there a newer rom?
and where can I purchase the cables , thanks for the help guys.
this works, just a little change to the instructions to get the PDA part flashing..
- disable active sync usb connection
- disable com port connection
run the flashing program,
select detect & start downloading immediately
plug in your phone and hold the power button until the blue bar starts moving..

i have a similar problem with a dead O2 XDA Zinc...where do i get the abi file or can i make one from the wm6 upgrade file (Xda_Zinc_RM3070712_WWE_ExtV2.8.0.exe) that i download from the official website
the abi file can be found inside the exe but i dunno how can u extract it since if u use any extractor it will not give u the abi file ... also if u hv the raw rom & want to extract the rom also u will hv difficulty in extracting it
that is the problem that i am facing now
you can extract abi file from Xda_Zinc_RM3070712_WWE_ExtV2.8.0.exe by
1. connect o2 zinc with usb
2. flash your o2 zinc by exe file
3. when complete flash don't push finish button
4. select to view hidden files in folder that you put exe file
5. finally you will see marsii_g4.abi
goodluck & sorry my bad english

reset meaning soft or hard reset?
hard reset or soft reset both does not do any good to remove the error message "unble to open the registry key" and to just reload the orginal applications and remove the others
ehmmm ... sad to say maybe u hv to flash the rom
how do i flash the rom?
download the official rom from seeo2 and then make sure ur dev is fully charged ... sync it wz ur pc using active sync then execute the rom (.exe file u hv downloaded)
good luck
Hi guys,
I've already upgraded to WM6 for my Zinc, but I'd like to have an original ROM in case I need to flash back when something's wrong. I checked seeo2 but I can't find it.

You mean the WM5 ROM on seeo2? It's still an upgrade ROM, not the original that comes along with the device at the beginning.
Anyway, I'm a newbie so please advice how to 'downgrade' from WM6 to WM5? Is this similar to the process upgrading from WM5 to WM6 (you just sync the device with PC, run the .exe file on the PC and let it go)?
If it's not, please kindly give me detail instruction
Many thanks

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!!
