Subject: Boot doesn´t work

From: Sebastian

Date: 12 Jan, 2003 19:27:57

Hi,

I have a problem:

I played a bit in the bootloader mode ( only in the test area),

got in a test mode which tests all things in the Xda an

restarted it, because I wasn´t interested in the big number of

tests and the XDA didn´t boot. I went back in the bootloader

mode and made tests of the improtant things (RAM, but not

microphone or something like that- they are OK made a hard

restart, but it makes no use. The colorfull screen with the

numbers on the rightened bottom stays hour for hour and nothing

happens.

I´m not very hopefull, but does any of you tricky guys no what

to do??(The situation in short form: I come to the bootloade,

but there´s no way to the "normal mode")

Thx for your solutions

Sebastian

It's not really clear from your post: what happens if you do a

warm reset (big hole) without holding the power button? Is your

power button stuck? (don't laugh: happened here...). What

happens if you cold-reset (small hole)?

Sebastian,

don't worry. Exactly this happend to me yesterday after playing

with test in Bootloader mode.

I haven't found any other solution than to do cold-reset

(hard-reset). After everything works well.

Thank you for your posts.

@ Xda...: I try to tell it second time:

When I press the power button, I get to the multicoloured

screen with the Version numbers on the right bottom.

When I do a reset I come to it as well.

When I do a reset while pressing power button I come to the

bootloader

When I press the battery button and wait for over 60 s the

red-green-blue screen comes back.

@ Radismus:

Thx, but as I descroibed even the cold reset doesn´t help.

Not sure what you mean with "multicoloured screen with the

Version numbers". Could what you see be explained by a stuck

soft reset button? (in the big hole)

Depending on your options with waranty, you could open the case

and examine the microswitch.

Don´t you know this display? It comes always after any reset or

when the battery was discharged.

The first part isred, the second green and the bottom is blue.

On the rightened side there are the Radio and System version

Numbers and usually the XDA makes ding-dong and you are on the

desktop. But that does not happen.

All clear?

Do you think I get problem with the warranty service, when they

see, that I was in the bootloader?(I didn´t open it or

manipulated sth.)

Should I try to overact the system from one XDA to the broken

one (with an SD Card and the bootloader(button "App3")) Do you

think the other XDA goes broke too or it damages the broken one

even more?

You could try flashing a new CE image using the ROM Image Tool.

(You'll need an SD-card adapter and a Windows 2000/XP PC)

I neither have Win XP nor a Card adapter.

But do you think I should try it with the other XDA and the

bootloader (app3, write to SD Card) how I described it in my

last post?

Subject: Transferring ROM

From: XDA developers

Yes you could: just dump the ROM on one device, and load it on

the other. Only works if both devices have bootloaders older

than 5.17...

Do you think the other XDA could go break, to

How big has the SD card to be?

Subject: No, 64 MB

From: XDA developers

Date: 16 Jan, 2003 23:07:04

No, it can't break the good phone, provided you use it to dump

the ROM only. You need just slightly over 32 MB, so that makes

it a 64 MB card.
