[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
I meant that sometimes logical errors on the disk ( here SD card ) may cause strange effects. As I remember some people reported this on the forum and some of them has bricks caused but damaged/strange behaved SD cards.

I realize You have not opportunity now to record .tsw on the card via tg01 in mass storage mode so simply put the card to and SD card reader and connect it to PC. Check whole SD card by chkdsk and fix ( if needed ) any logical errors. After it, write .tsw from Your hard disk to SD card and check this .tsw on the card by tgool.

Put the card again in the tg01 and try 3-pin method once again.

I definitely rule out any virus. Where could it "stick" ? To .tsw impossible ( I guess very very hard ) or rather who would like to write virus for .tsw file ( take into account You utlized not self created .tsw but original so of course without virus ) ? To any not writeable ROM part of tg01 too.

And finally. I do not know tg downloader enough good. Maybe I was happiness I was not able ( still not ) to install it on my PC but 3-pin method was enough in my case. Maybe this software is dangerous in some cases ? As I remember it has options to write to some areas of tg01 memory. Could anyone confirm or not that bad usage of tg downloader can lead to irreversible damage of tgo1 ?

Thanks for detailed explaination.

I have fixed errors and then formatted the whole SD card, then flashed again original TG01 rom from Toshiba website, in order to eliminate the issue of :

a) Bad sectors on SD card

b) virus

As you say the only possibility that remains could be tg downloader which might not have worked correctly. But again, how hard can it be for it to work correctly, when I have used the same method for about few hundred times now during ROM development!

After SDDL+ method following above routine, I still have the phone automatically freezing and then restarting.

I have tried Short Pin method, and so far it looks good. My phone hasn't froze or restarted in last 15 minutes (yet!).

Looks like this might an end to my long run with TG01 :( *sobs*

[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
I check .tsw on the card any time I write new .tsw file to prg directory. From time to time I execute chkdsk and few times I got any errors so it is good practice to do chkkdsk from time to time. Do not ask me why. Maybe wm is not enough good and lost chains and other errors appears when some software we executes from SD card. Take into account that SD driver is not enough good under tg01. I reported this problem. After returning from sleep some applications hang when You try to execute them from SD. This moment when tg01 goes sleep maybe reason when none all data cached are recorded on the card and this can be reason of logical errors on the card. This are my speculations. Unfortunately, our tg01 is full of bugs caused by wrong Toshiba drivers ( SD, battery, audio )

Din't help! Started it's routine freeze and re-start! :(

I am not sure if I can finish developing my roms. I have got 3 roms I am working on, but won't be able to test them. I am trying to desparately look through whatever I can, but doesn't look like any one has faced this yet.
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
Explain me once again. You have official, normally working operating system and let's say after 15 minutes of its work it suddenly freezes and restarts ? And this is every time ? Maybe some hardware causes it ? After booting are You doing any operations before crash ? Maybe do nothing and watch if it restarts again but be sure that for example none software utilize SD card ( or remove it at all ) , turn off radio and wi-fi and BT. Simply let it work simply doing nothing. In my oppinion it may looks on certain driver problem.

Haven't You got any problems with battery ? Recently I had some because I utilize self-made battery :) and some element lost contact. My tg01 got creazy restarting system in different moments.

cheap one hm i can spend u my last paypal amount but this only a few euro cent (€0,64 EUR) :(
[TG01 ROM Development] drupad2drupad:
Ok step by step this is what I've done:

I was testing DruROM6 (self made) - it was running completely fine for last 1 week.

Then I decided to flash back to DruROM2 as an user wanted me to test something. - worked fine.

Now instead of switching back to DruROM6 - I wanted to check how different is original rom from what I was doing - So I flashed a stock rom floating around.

Booted fine, worked fine for a day.

Reflashed the same rom again after a hard reset just to make sure I am doing everything ok. Then also clearer nand with power, volume up and camera button.

All these flashes - are done using SDDL+

All these hard resets - done using 'Master reset' followed by nand clearance.

Now after flashing stock rom, I go on Toshiba website, get 6.5 official ROM, flash it using SDDL+.

There it was, waiting for me! :(

It started freezing just in few seconds.

I thought it was bad flash, so again, cleared nand and re-flash.

It booted well, but froze again after few minutes and restarted on it's own.

Then the cycle continued. - I have already performed few hard resets. Re-flashed the official ROM, nothing!

By the way, also tested by removing SIM, removing SD card, and even removing BOTH! - but it still freezes and restarts!! :mad:

So I thought, it was the official rom itself, hence went back to stock rom-> mirom3 (same) -> stock rom (same) -> mangasora rom (same) -> stock rom (same) -> official 6.5 rom (same!) :(

In short, with or without SD card, SIM card - doesn't help.

Any rom - stock, clean, official, unofficial - doesn't help.

Battery - works perfectly fine. No drain, no leak, no weird visual display either. Even if I don't touch the phone, it keeps showing the 'green' sleep mode indicator few seconds/minutes -and then stops. So when I try to see what happened it shows:

a) either 'active sync' screen frozen

b) or 'system32.exe' error

c) or just switched off - so I restart it from power button - but it doesn't. So I remove battery put back, power on - starts and the cycle continues!

My friends already hate me as I reply their text after an hour or more :D or they keep reaching my voicemail since last 2 days ;) - they are well pissed, even more than me! :p

Thank you very much for the offer DeeJay, it's very very kind of you. Hold on to this donation for now (fingers crossed, some miracle or advice will work!) and you can definitely donate this amount on my behalf to all the 'big' developers out here - they have helped me a lot and so has XDA - they deserve it more than I will ever do! :D

Very nice gesture my friend, every donation big or small, will always help development of this wonderful phone! ;)
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
More reports I read about different tg01 bricks, more stupid I am :) . It seems that all possible and impossible ;) people have.

What is interesting it is fact that tg01 always boots, so system as a whole always work. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer but works. That is why I think flash memory is ok. Only RAM one can suspect to do unpleasant things. You have always 'active sync' running after every boot ?

When I read Your point c) it is like with my battery problems I mentioned You about. TG01 was restarting in random time period and sometimes I was not able to switch it off by power button. You mentioned all is ok with the battery but maybe problem is with hardware part concerning power supply.

Unfortunately, I can not help or advice You more.

full bricked

hi my probleme is my TG01 don't start i had to charge the battery with an another TG01 (mine don't charge)

so i want to know if i can unbricked it (i tried pin method unsuccessfully) or it is definitely "dead" ?

but it's strange because i bricked it when i update my official rom orange france with official toshiba update WM6.1 -> WM6.5 !

if your LCD Display stay black (or very, verry dim black light) and when plug it in to charge No red LED flash, not possible to RESET OR Hard RESET

= unbrick method= TG Downloader over PC connection with user manual in german (pls translate with google translator for other language) contains: TG01 Downloader TG01 Driver TGTool

and here the needed bin file: tg01.bin file (unzip)
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
mirolg.

I think to myself that people who are desperated and really want to make their tg01 living ( none utilized here methods do not work ) , should contact with , as I remember' Omnia forum. Some Omnia's models have our snapdragon too and people there even created ( got ? ) software that via internal CPU JTAG junction ( available when we removed the cover somewhere internally ) can flash what they want. This method is hardware method ( talk directly to CPU ) so must work unless snapdragon is really damaged. One can fix for example boot part of firmware and generally make the device alive.

Two+ months since my tg bricked I couldnt still recover it I sent the device to UK Tosh but came back with of no use stating water in device but its bricked of flashing only. Still the screen is black and couldnt bring back to working state dont know how and what to do. If possible any one can help me please.

Needed tools: http://u.115.com/file/f7fcb79872

TG software

TGTool 1.3

TG Downloader

TG drivers

TG have to be DISCONNECTED from PC!!!!

1. You need to be sure you have charged battery.

Use fried TG or some external charging solution.

2. Install TG Downloader

Before you will install application be sure that TG is NOT CONNECTED to PC.

Install Downloader and click next. Application should install TG01W drivers.

3. Prepare bin file.

tgtool -dec TG01WP_5005000176.tsw tg01.bin

3. Open Downloader as adimi (Vista)

4. Click on Browse and select tg01.bin. App will inform you about problem with version but accept.

Now connect your TG with charged battery to PC.

I did it till here after this the rest of the process is still to go ahead.

My windows doesnt identify the phone nor there is nothing visible as stated below.

Windows should start install drivers and new device Toshiba DL and some ports. After installatin click "Change Port" at Downloader and choose "Toshiba Download Port" and click "Download Mode". App will inform "Faild to open port" click OK and click "Downloade Mode" again. On status bar app will inform Done and LED on TG will start to be white.

Click on "Start Download" and go to make small coffe. TG's LED will start to blink on many colours and its correct.

Wait till appp restart your TG.

Any one can help

The screen and the phone is completely idle with out any symtoms

Im going to cry!

My tg01 one day old is bricked! I tried miros rom. It booted fine but I couldn't access the start menu because I installed a few .cabs and when I removed them.

This is what happens:

Toshiba logo and then black screen.

Please help. I need this phone as a emergency one!

How do I make the bin file? Can someone upload a premade one. thanks. I need this. Also, before the brick it was 90% charged. Is that alright? (Cries jumps around and bangs his head on the desk)
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
If You have Toshiba logo, simply use 3-pins method described on the forum. For example here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6023473&postcount=1

But I have to take the screws out. Right? Isn't this easier?

And how do I connect pin 1 with pin 3
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
None screws !

When You remove back cover and SIM card You will see black plastic plate. Carefully remove it ( it is sticked but not too hard )and You will see three metal pads. You have to connect 1 and 3. Prepare Yourself any kind of fixed wire

And remember. From my expierience, You should use official rom not custom rom to make tg01 alive via this method.

OK I got everything ready except connecting pin one with three. Wtf how do I do it. What kinda wiring?
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
Have not You at home any copper solid wire ? Such for electric connections at walls ? On the forum there is excelent picture of such "tool" by coleague kevinpwhite but I do not remember where.

[TG01 ROM Development] webstar1:
this isnt working. I have installed download mode but it just has a green light on indicating its charging. Thats all.
[TG01 ROM Development] rajauk1:
1- make a folder on your desktop and rename it TG01

2- Put 2 files inside:

a- Official UK update: (TG01WP_5005000176.tsw)

b- TGtool

3- press start--> Run--> type cmd in it

4- type:

a-cd desktop/TG01

b- tgtool -dec TG01WP_5005000176.tsw tg01.bin

and then you'll have the tg01.bin file in that folder

Hope this helps my friend

[TG01 ROM Development] webstar1:
Hi everyone. I got it working. At first it pissed me off because when I attatched the copper wire with pin 1 to pin 3 and gilded reset for 10 seconds, then my 14 year old sister goes. U suppose to press the power button retard and I was like noooooo! And it went into download mode lol. Yea. All good now. Thanks miro for an awesome rom although when people remove packages beware as it brick your phone removing the wrong one.
[TG01 ROM Development] mirolg:
welcome back! which miROM you use and wich cab you remove? Normally you can if your tg01 never boot restore it with HardReset ....
[TG01 ROM Development] webstar1:
Dunno, its a sense one with 105mb ram free. I didn't hard reset. Forgot about that when I first flashed. Then I flashed a few addons and it f'ed up. Start button wouldn't work. So I removed packages from HTC settings and didn't even boot after restart lol. Now I ain't removing **** :D
[TG01 ROM Development] mirolg:
****? .... :eek:

yeah, SENSE on TG01 need a few special settings and cab´s. remove or add addons can make unstable or unbootable. but if you have any problems- try first a HardReset- it helps 99% and restore the orginal ROM relase before changings ....

tnx for playing with my miROMs :cool:

thank you so much

i've just repair tg01 ok
[TG01 ROM Development] starald:
Hi Everyone

My Problem:

The TG01 is stuck at the welcome screen shortly after having switched it on.

Repair-Method:

I`ve tried the short-pin unbrick method. The white flash-screen appears, after several minutes the tg01 reboots. Unfortunately the phone still gets stuck shortly after that at the welcome screen.

I`ve tried various roms, custom and stock - the only thing changing is the welcome screen (either it says "toshiba" or "o2 welcome").

Other solutions?

- The TG-downloader method does not work, since after having connected the phone via usb to the pc, the phone ist recognized only for a few seconds (as "microsoft usb sync"). Inserting this drivers key ("VID_045E&PID_00CE") into the file tsbtgdl0.inf doesn't help either.

Can someone help me, please (Mirolg?)?
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hi.

As I know, when 3-pin method is active , tg01 is not bricked. We say bricked but it is not true. To utilzie tgdownloader, tg01 has to be really bricked :)

I do not know how to do it ( miro described it somewhere as I know ). Maybe You have to do as many people did . I mean that after entering in 3-pin method and starting downloading process, simply .... remove battery.

Such operation will cause that You will get Toshiba logo no more and tg01 will be really bricked.

This way a lot of people caused their tg01's bricked.

BTH. Maybe it would be better, You describe us how Your tg01 stoped working. Did You flash any strange rom

or maybe You chenged bootloader ?

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 ROM Development] starald:
Hi fxdjacentyfxd,

thanks for your quick answer! OK, you propose to really brick it... but if the flashing from sd is not working, maybe the TG-Downloader-Method is then working less than ever?

You wanted to know what made it stop booting after start screen: I had not changed the rom or anything. What happend ist that my wife hid it from me for half a year, and after that maybe the internal battery was emptied.

Back to your TG-Downloader proposal: do the drivers used for this method only work when the phone is really bricked? Or do they work with a functioning phone, too? In the latter case it wouldn't make any sense for me to brick my phone because the drivers for TG-downloader don't recognize the phone right now.

Thanks and greetings
