my tg01 running this wp7 rom any problems on how to flash pm me!!
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] wafeeq:
Hi all

I think I bricked my TG01

During writing the new bootloader, it said failed to read (or open) MIBIB, I checked the file it is there 1320 Kb, and then the LED went purple, I pressed power and it just died..

Can anyone help me please??
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] onell:
mirolg; onell what do you think- it´s possible ro realive with unbrick method with TG Downloader?

no becouse it does not have bootloader to response in tgdownloader . is like a computer without bios..... it is completly dead... only jtag can help to rewrite bootloader.... him have to go to a mobile service... they have a riff box..... i tell that becouse i erase mi bootloader too and i go to a service to rewrite.. mine was completly dead just like his..
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Does your TG01 power at all?

Mine doesn't at all.. it cannot charge aswell.

I got the bootloader, but no OS.. then I flashed it, then now it won't power on at all
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
How much do I pay for them to fix my phone? (Roughly)
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] wafeeq:
no sign of life, complete dead
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Same... What are you going to do?
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] Inge2000:
Does wp 7 really work for Toshiba tg 01 ?

I don't know, I revived it last year by riffbox, I don't know if I'll do it again, it's an old device and in its best will be running WP7 at 60%, and mine is looking very old with bubbled screen.

I believe it's better to buy a phone running WP7, they are getting cheeper everyday.

For the moment I'm happy with my Moto Defy.

So...

I believe this is the end of the way for Toshiba Tsunagi..

What about you?
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Same, I have a SGS2 and Desire S..

TG01 is just my spare phone.

I never use it, but I'm still angry now that its bricked and I cannot use it anymore :mad:

I wrote to Toshiba customer services, but I doubt they are gonna do anything.

How did you use riff box?

Is it your own? Or a shops??
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
i dont know where you got 60% working from ive had wp7 on my toshiu for 2 days now and its about 95% working
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] wafeeq:
It was a shop in Dubai.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

All official WP7 has mango update now, which includes multitasking and 500 new enhancements which I don't think we'll see on TG01, camera, capacitive screen and official support these count imo for 40%.
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
true but mango not botherd, camera will be fixed, capacative screen? my tg01 resistive screen is doin fine and perfectly well and official support? who the hell uses official stuff nowa days haha. if you wanted to do official things you wouldnt be on xda developers where hackers come together :) i think this wp7 rom could be the start of a new tg01
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
I know it will be! Even WP7 apps (chevron etc) are being brought over...

Shame ill never see my TG01 alive again :( or ever use the beautiful UI which I was keen on...

First device I have ever spoilt :(

RIP TG01 - it served me well...
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] (InsertNameHere):
Sorry to hear about your loss, shame nobody on here is in the UK with a Riff Box.

If it makes you feel any better, i have lost countless electronics, 2 Siemens SL45 phones, the usb data cable fried them... i should have just never tried to update the firmware on them!
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] mirolg:
so sorry, olly- I was so happy that you also can enjoy WP7 :mad: Ask nokser he has a RiffBox, or?
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] nikola92:
True WP7 very functional and who the hell needs all official stuff especialy where I live those thing aren't supported by my country, even Zune is not supported :mad: Camera fix would be fine, so the signa streinght.

@ Jhonny Did you fixed your signal streinght?
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
thanks for your concerns and support guys :)

that's what I always loves about this small community, always there to support each other with advice :)

InsertNameHere, I sent an email to Toshiba, an tried to make myself act as dumb as possible.

I told them I charged my TG01, unplugged it and it won't switch on anymore..

I told them I was on the latest Stock 6.5 ROM. (they won't know I've changed anything, as the phone is fully bricked)

hopefully I still have support or warranty from them. I bought the phone in February 2010...

hope the warranty still lasts!

I will need to try and dig out the receipt!

thanks!
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] (InsertNameHere):
I hope that warranty claim works out, might as well try it, i do wonder if they can read nand contents, but they will probably send you a refurbished or new unit, although this being toshiba, who knows

You know TG01 is a rare device, how many others have you seen in circulation or being used on the street etc? Only here and Modaco have i met other users.
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
nope i havnt fixed signal strength yet. what about you?
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Yeah, Toshiba have very poor customer support!

I don't mind, as long as I get any TG01 that's functional :D

hopefully they won't be able to read the NAND as I don't think anything was on it, just the new bootloader.

the new bootloader worked fine on the phone, its just after I flashed the WP7 ROM onto it, it died..

man, i was so excited!! I was just waiting for the flash to be over, and get WP7 up and running,

but my phone didn't reboot. it just chose to die :(

its completely dead now, only a riff box can revive it.. hopefully Toshiba can't do anything about it, and send me a new one/replacement...

I hope the warranty still lasts though!

I notcied Toshiba have removed all traces of the TG01 or and phones on their website!!

TG01 Repairs

I'm extremely sorry to see the recent spate of major problems..... not sure if this route is still valid or will be of any help, but details of the company providing 3rd line hardware support for Toshiba within Europe are contained in this post.

I had dealings with them a year ago and were very helpful and effective in getting a bricked device recovered for another XDA member.

Good luck

Kevin

[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Many thanks Kevin :) I appreciate your help a lot :D

I will check out that website later!

At least this will help warn people that there are still great risks with WP7, some people have has success, some have had corruptions, resulting in bricks :(
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] mirolg:
... :D I do that since beggining of the WP7 hype ...

we still not have error free packages, no correct step by step description

1. First we have to flash a 6.5.x ROM with 0321 Radio to able enter in debug mode

2. Second we need a step by step description to prepare the tg01 with wp7 bootloader

- how? how files are clean ...

Please OP nokser, ffboy2009 and qinwengui works together to clear the right prozess

RIFF JTAG

@oly

On the RIFF JTAG site there are some instructions for flashing using Downloader, provided USB drivers and a decrypted .bin file. I assume is for WM6.5.x and may now not have any hope as you had already installed the WP7 Bootloader, but might just possibly be worth a try.....

Kevin

[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] tyler200298:
hello,

i take a look in the folder we gave

but the driver seems to be only for windows xp

i have windows 7,

someione have trouble with this os?

tomorrow i'll can try and maybe take some step screenshot

edit:

the tablet i'm using don't show me all files and now i found windows vista and 7 folder
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] Tozzy2:
Hello everyone, just wanted to say, just seen the updates to this thread. Many thanks to all the developers working on this project and a huge thanks to nikola92 for being the first tester who had a lot to lose if anything had have gone wrong so that was a very brave move :).

Unfortunately, I wouldn't have been able to help as I'm not a developer and haven't a clue what is involved in the flashing process. But reading through, it's amazing how you all helped each other!! Whenever I saw someone in encountering problems, I thought oh no WP7 isn't going to happen but then there were always answers to help move the project along :D. I can't believe how you guys did it, it's a genius work of art. I'm really eager to flash WP7 but I'm not so sure now after reading a few bad stories such as Olly's bad experience :( and also the lack of upgrade to mango?? At the moment, I think it's still a waiting game, but so far, so great ;)

Keep it up!!
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Yeah, it really is amazing!

Looks like I wasn't too lucky, I hope that my problem would be a reminder, this process isn't 100% safe.

Another person has the same problem as me now..

So please be cautious when you flash...

Perhaps if you want to play on the safe side of things, avoid flashing now, till we get a stable solid guide...

Seems a bad flash for me has resulted in a dead phone....
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] Tozzy2:
I'm sure you'll get it sorted soon mate. I've just been thinking, I remember back to when custom ROMs were being introduced for TG01 and it wasn't until a few months after when the unbricking method was introduced, but then is that only possible if it's only halfbricked I don't know. Good luck with the resurrection of your TG01 :)
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Cheers mate :)

Hopefully that will be the case! And I can unbrick :)

If you do proceed to flash, have a safe flash ;)

Remember, double check every step before you proceed, and make sure the folder isn't corrupted!!
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] Tozzy2:
As you say, probably better to wait until there is a safe method of flashing and unbricking has been proved to work. Then again, probably windows 8 will be out by then :rolleyes:. Can't keep up with all this technology lol
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] aeroflyluby:
Working on this
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] nikola92:
Working on what? And I report my bugs so far: bad signal streinght, no cammera, can't do chewon unlock, EARPHONES DON'T WORK! But good thing is that all kind of video and music are working, tested video:"LMFAO - I'm sexy and you know it" HD 1080p resolution without any lag or bug

be sure, this guys is so funny...

Tomorrow it will come to hack kinect and say : next update connect Kinect to TG01 and Play Dance Central 3 using iso and Xkey...

Hi, what does it mean: "Invalid header file" in Tsunagi Downloader and tgtool, then I open .bin file.

Thanks!

Sorry for my english!

[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
people who want to flash this rom its not worth it the phone signal is **** so its not even a phone any more. Im flashing back to wm6.5 because its just horrible having a nice rom with no phone :( and since i flashed my tg01 to wp7 the forums have died down so i doubt wp7 is going to get any better. it was nice while it lasted but its just not a phone without a signal :) wm6.5 mirom 8 here i come back haha:)
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] (InsertNameHere):
jonnyhall1bmx1 has been there and got the t-shirt, no better quote could be found for those prospective flashers, i think this says it all!

Those who still think its a good idea, remember it could possibly cost at least 50% the value of your phone to fix at a shop with a Riff Box, or at least 33% more than the device is worth to buy a Riff Box to do it yourself.
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
exactly :) its not worth it. if everything worked then it would be amazing but thats not going to happen
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] aeroflyluby:
But if you buy a riffbox you can repair some other phones of other people and make money:P

btw, I got a problem: my phone got decharged and I can't charge in because I can't boot the phone because of low battery, wtf
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
im trying to flash back to wm6.5 but im kinda stuck on something hahaha read my new thread :)
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] (InsertNameHere):
Leave it plugged in powered off, red led should show showing its charging.
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] aeroflyluby:
It doesn't
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] mirolg:
What exactly did you before? Has you tried this WP7 ROM, Russian Roulette :D
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Hey same issues here! Where did yours go wrong when you tried to flash?

Are we bricked?
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
olly i might have a solution olly for you :) and miro i have successfuly had wp7 running for 2 days now and successfully flashed back to wm6.5 :) i can honnestly say been back on mirom 8 cfc is the best thing ever:) wp7 on tg01 is good but theres too many bugs :( anyway i have made it back alive to wm6.5 :) those who want to see my tg01 running wp7 check my youtube page out >> 3halljo

My WP7 status:

1,TF Card is ok now, when my Kinmax 8G in ,my phone will said is not the same card and turn off.But my sandisk 2G card can work OK.So if have TF problem,change one to test.The TF will be lock by WP7,if you want to use it in PC again ,you can use an NOKIA (i know 5230 and 5800 Can)to format it .:)

2,I have unlock WP7 by chevronWP7 ,install some soft and game.Most works OK.If you like angry bird ,fruid Ninja and so games WP7 is worth to update.All works perfect.:p

3,Ifyou can't boot and need Reset : you can user vol+and vol- to power on

and select cold boot.

4,I have test G-senor ,it cant work need for speed can't be operate.

5,Test GPS,is not work also,i have test 3 GPS Soft

6.My tel singal is very good and call is clear，but is less then 0321 and 0300

7,Game has sound ,music has sound ,but all online video have no sound (youtube,qiyi,spb and so so );but why???????:confused:

Any other found will continue:cool:
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] aeroflyluby:
Heh man I flashed succesfully but I discharged a battery

I found some bugs too:

Battery charging is outrageously slow - 12 hours of charging and got 20% up...

If you discharge your battery to the state that phone even don't want to turn on: You got nothing to do because phone wouldn't charge the battery, it boots into very big battery icon on the screen and does nothing. Only wiring the battery with USB circuit helps, so the phone can boot and charge again.

When I installed WP7 I got 30 mb of storage and it got 'eaten' in a hourn by nothing really... We got 512 flash why the hell I got 30 storage???

We can't zoom photos

We can't unzoom maps

[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] Tozzy2:
Hi guys, thanks for listing your bugs. I'm definitely put off now :eek:. At first it was just call quality being crap, then it was G sensor not working, now it's the battery and also no sound in online video.

I can tell you all the funny thing is, I HATE Windows phone 7:eek:! Even before it was ever released, the UI is horrible (mainly those tiles). They look like they've been created in MS Paint :rolleyes:. The only reason why I wanted it was because I thought if I could get it for free (well almost; with donation of 10Euro),it would be something new for my TG01 and also I wanted it because I always felt cheated by Microsoft for not giving us the new upgrade. There's no way I'd go and spend £400 on a phone with WP7 on it no way. So I think I'll stick with WM 6.5, maybe put a new ROM on it instead of the Orange stock ROM.

Many thanks again to all who helped contribute to this thread, you're awesome and I'm sure you'll get WP7 working at some point but we have to ask ourselves is it worth it because TG01 only has 256MB RAM and newer OS updates are being released so by the time it's done, the phone will be outdated specs wise but I'll leave that to the developers here.

Can someone answer me one question? Correct me if I'm wrong but did Nokser prewarn us about all the bugs in WP7????? :confused::confused::confused:
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] nikola92:
Dude you hate WP7??? Are you ok with your head? That is best UI for any OS that exsists! it is true that WP7 for tg01 is bad at the moment but who knows maybe it will be better :) For now for first beta release it is fantastic. Goin' back to wm for shure soon but will be be back! Who knows what we can get yet.... ANYWAY BIG THAKS TO YOU NOKSER, QIN, JOOL, FBOY and rest community!
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
i agree nikola, wp7 is a great os but iits just too buggy on our tg01 :) i successfully flashed back to wm6.5 yesterday with mirom 8 rom :D.

however like you say if this wp7 rom gets fixed up abit i will defo be flashing back to have another go :):cool:
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] Tozzy2:
I'm more of an android GUI fan to be honest :D. I don't know there's something about WP7 mainly those tiles, I think they'd get boring quite quickly and I just feel there's not much eye candy such as it's always black background with white text. Gets predictable I find, but i agree the OS itself looks smart such as the animations it has and the addition of xbox live. But regarding apps, there aren't as many as android has which lets it down :(. But I certainly would like to try WP7 out even just for a week. Hopefully, the bugs will be sorted.

Also, Mango is just a big excuse to include all the features that should have been put in WP7 lol

I contacted Toshiba
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] viewtiful:
Right, I've been away this weekend, but am back now. My situation is basically similar. Except I originally turned off after the blue LED. Which makes me think if i can get it to boot, I can fix this mess.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but atm my plan is to order and try a external battery charger. It *shouldn't* have been going low since the flashing process, but at the same time without a way of testing the battery there is no way of knowing either way.

Although it would have been extremely nice to know before we began that during the process it would break charging for a bit...

I'll report on how i get on.
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] olyloh6696:
Great! Do let me know how the results go! Maybe the flashing process is very heavy on the battery!

I do not know in this moment..... what's happened... but i search any solutions
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] aeroflyluby:
For charging problems : Cut any USB cable, get the wires and:

Put out the battery from TG01 and plug from USB wires: +(red) to + in battery and -(black) to - in battery, wait now for about 1 minute and check if TG01 boots, if not - next minute of charging and until it boots into WP.

When it boots, plug normal usb cable and charge as usual, try to disable wifi bluetooth and other power comsuming things.

Worked for me
[TG01 Windows Phone 7 Development] nikola92:
Comparing to friends HTC Sensation XL with Sense the WP7 on my tg01 is reacting and working smother! Amazing but true, maybe I make rewiev of that. He was shocked so as I. For common use the tg01 showed smother, ofc the Sensation XL have other mega hardwere spec that tg01 don't have. I think going back to WinMo is best option for someone that use tg01 as main phone, I stick to WP7 for now.

Request clarify where you found this new edition; also what steps you are taking to flash - you seem to be the only member who is able to successfully go back and forth between WP7 and WM6.x without major disaters !
