Dear epimazzo,

Is my K-Jam totally bricked?

I tried all & exactly what is mentioned by you[epimazzo] but not been able to get k-jam running.

My K-Jam is now stuck up in bootloader screen.

I am able to swtch it off with power button. I can also have first flash screen.

On connecting with USB port, it shows yellow light indicating that it is charging & that over a period of time, goes green.

Earlier I had flashed TNT ROM but while reflashing newer it got stuck up as after flashing, I tried to hard reset [mistakenly thought ROM is flushed fully] & could not go further after initail first screen.

Other details:

IPL:2.16

SPL:2.16

GSM:02.07.10

O.S.:11.0.0.2

May some one help?

Thanks in advance.

Virat
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] epimazzo:
Hi Virat!

Reading your description and also your tech details, I don't think you have bricked it. Stuck on a bootloader sounds good anyway. I've been playing around a lot with USB connection using activesync and I'd say that sucks! Really!:mad:

Well, try these steps and see if works:

1 Put the Kjam in bootloader

2 Take off SD card

3 Put in the cradle

4 Load active sync and click in connection settings

5 Click on Allow USB connections to disable

6 Then, enable it again...don't even think to take out Kjam from the cradle at this point! Keep it there!

Normally it works at this time....activesync finds your device and you can now move on to your official ROM first! It's important to flash your official one again before flash a custom ROM ok?

If you still didn't go through or activesync insist not find the device, repeat steps 5 and 6.:cool:

Sometimes you have to softreset your device more than once and follow these steps. That's may sounds odd but that's what works for me to get out of this mad side!;)

Hope it helps! Good luck!

I’ve also had to do the weirdest Combos and checks and unchecks sometimes to reflash.

What is it with this Active Sync?

TNT ROM

My Wizard also stuck at IPL/SPL after upgrading using TNT latest rom. I tried all method that i know from the forum, nothing works. I even go back to 1.05 Rom but nothing improved, still stuck at IPL SPL.

Has anyone gone into the same problem?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
ok,have you tried Soft reset or Hard Reset ? sometimes it helps.

First,What ipl/spl it displays now at present and which rom was on it before you tried to flash TNT latest rom, was it any official stock rom ?

Secondly,is your phone SIM/CID unlocked ? if you had an official stock rom and your phone is not CID unlocked,it won't upgrade to Latest wm6 rom.Its required to get the phone cid unlocked before upgrading to any wm6 roms.

Now to recover back,download the official stock rom from your carrier's website,get your phone into bootloaders mode (tricolor screen),connect the phone with pc via usb cable,watch small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloaders and run the rom,close any anti virus or firewall on the pc before flashing and even take out any sdcard or mini sd if inserted in the phone,do not surf or check emails on the net while flashing,after it completes,the phone will start working hopefully.

Don't look for activesync connectivity,as activesync doesn't work in bootloaders,but if connection is established with pc via usb cable and usb appear in the bootloaders,you can flash the rom and also you shud have a fully charged battery to complete the flash.

Cheers!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] underneathurclothes:
Thank you for your clear instruction, very appreciate that.

For now i have IPL/SPL 2.26, GSM 02.25.11, OS 2.26.10.2. It was on Mfrazzzzz wm6 rom, IPL/SPL 3.08 before i tried to flash this new TNT rom. Before that i used several other Wm6 roms, thus, i should has been CID unlocked right?

I flashed Prodigy shipp rom a few times, soft reset and hard reset hundreds of times. I even terminate wcescomm.exe when i flash from BL.

Oh i totally forgot, before this happened, i did succesfully flashed to TNT WM6.1 rom, and went on to change default music folder from Music to /storagecard/my document/My Music. It required a soft reset and it stuck on IPL/SPL screen. That is the whole procedure how I bricked my device.

You can also force Bootloader mode by the hardware keys: Reset+Camera

All you have to do is disconect your ppc, enter bootloader, then connect the USB again and flash. works like a charm. Hold camera button while reseting untill you see the three lines, and you are set.

My KJam freezs on the blue screen

:(:ohello,

sorry to intrude... but i have a serious problem with my kjam...

I installed a software called "Pocket controller-professional", everything was working fine until I clicked on the icon of this software and I choosed 'configue' and I went to video and i clicked on 'test', then 'apply' and then there was this message that the phone needs to reboot and if something went wrong with the phone just soft restart. However, the phone rebooted and didn't work it stopped totally in the blue screen with i-mate written in the background... I tried to soft reset plenty of time but every time it stops at the same screen. I tried to do the hard reset but I couldn't.

Any one can help me please and tell me what i can do .... ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ebonygirl:
For those reading this thread plz believe me it works. I had an issue with an incorrect Kaiser ROM loaded onto an AT&T Tilt.

The main point here is to get into bootloader mode and load the phone using RUU. If you can't get it by the typical means try

Pulling the battery and holding the camera button in and then putting the battery back/applying power

or

The directions described in the first post of this thread.

Plz Plz Plz once you get into bootlaoder mode go into ANOTHER thread and ask for help. Leave this thread for bootloader issues ONLY. Don't be a completely n00b and hijack the thread with ur issue.

can't put wizard in bootloader mode but its working

After installed the latest TNT rom and some applications soft or hard resetting takes a long time, more than half an hour to start. But once started it works but with some issues.

I am trying to use another rom but RUU can't do it because after the initial black screen it takes too long and the program says there is a connection problem.

I have tried pushing camera and soft reset and it doesn't go to bootload mode, it only reset it.

I tried also the method in the first post and it says there is a connection problem.

I want to downgrade to the official cingular 8125 rom but I'm stuck with this rom that has some issues and I can't put it in bootload.

I will appreciate any help.

Duh

Since my wizard dont want to turn, even in bootloader mode, i'd tried this method, but no success. Since even this is not working i can only guess that there is some kind of hardware problem with it.

When i press the power button, nothing indicates that it turns on (so i guess its not turning on). When i put the usb cradle, the indicator goes yellow for few seconds/minutes and then green. Its weird.

Using this method, the rom update utility tells me update error (cant connect to device). I'd followed everything - as killing activesync proc in taskmanager, disabling connections and etc - it does not work.

Can some one confirm that my wizard is totally bricked, or there is any other way of turning it on - in bootload menu or something.

It took me a few tries following those directions-- but here was my situation:

Upgrading rom -- got a blue screen and the computer restarted. My Wizard wouldn't go past the bootloader after that, so I couldn't reflash it to get it working. I tried following the directions here, and it didn't work exactly. Here's what I had to modify:

Use the reset button (on the side of the device) as opposed to taking the battery out and reinserting it (which is what the rom recovery wizard suggested).

Thank you epimazzo!

I just bought a O2 XDA Mini S. It is bricked and I thought that I might be able to get it going again.

I have been trying for the last couple of days and am about to throw it.

Can anyone help me ?

It was a G4 (2.21.00001) and has apparently been flash with 3.08 for G3.

It stopped working after the first reboot and it will not power up at all not even a charge light.

Is it completely bricked? Any help would be appreciated.

I've been wanting to install CM for a while now, but after looking around it seems that the camera related stuff is very dependant on some proprietary stuff so it tends to freeze on CM and cause the phone to reboot - does that happen very often? I believe it should be stable on milestone versions, but I just want to double check.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Well I'm not sure what you have been reading but the camera issue does not force the phone to reboot. You do however have to rebooted yourself if it fails to connect.

However there is a fix/workaround on Google play, just remember to follow instructions or it wont work...
