HELP! RSU update crashed! I tried it all: my MDA is dead!

[Pewinski]

Hello there,

I have a MDA from T-Mobile germany PW10A2 with an RUU version which was probably 3-13-12-GER and a RSU which was probably T360.
I dowloaded 2 update files on the site of T-mobile germany:
http://www.t-mobile.de/shop/handy/1,4855,2963-_50-0-99,00.html
- t_mobile_mda_ppc_update_v3_19_03.exe
- t_mobile_mda_gsm_gprs_update_v3_23.exe
Since I wrotte them an Email, no answer, and the page has been cancelled.
What have I done:
- I installed the PPC 3.19.03 through Activesync: no problem
- I then installed the GSM GPRS update: once it started updating on my MDA at 10% it kept stucked. After 20 mn I decided to interrupt.

Since that day I have the white screen with the litle keyboard down right and that's about it.

My boot loader is V5.15. when it runs it displays "WAIT", and then "GSM ERROR"

As suggested in this Forum, I bought an SD Card, and a card reader writter, I wrote the RUU file NK.nbf contained in the downloaded .exe file from T-mobile. I flashed my room (proposed when I cold reseted the Wallaby) and then : NOTHING HAS CHANGED !!!

I tried again with a cooked Rom flashing a NK.nb1 file and... I got the ROMKitchen splash screen and... nothig else.
The display stays all white, you can read "this ROM was cooked in the ROM Kitchen" all on top af the screen and in the lower right side I still have the keyboard Icon.

Now I'm really worried !

Does any one have a suggestion ?...I believe my problem is realy serious.

Hate to tell u that mate, but if your device can't be recognized by ActiveSync, then the only action is to get the device to be repaired by a specialized center or replaced.

However, check this topic carefully .. it might help

Good luck

I have an SX56 with att, I had the same problem. rsupgrade failing at 1%, hard reset, and then the device white screned. First, downgrade the rom. Find the old update program, open it with winzip (or winrar) and you should be able to extract the rom image. get http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAtools place the rom on an sd, softboot while holding down the power button. the device will now offer you the option to load the rom from the sd, do so. once this is done the device should display the old roms ID. If this works, format the SD card, create a directory 2577 copy the program RSUpgrade and associated files, rename it as autoexec insert the card in the phone, and you should be able to reflash the RSU, if this fails.... time to break out the jtag header or be ready to send the unit in

Thanks to both of you guys, for your concern.
I had actualy already tried your proposed solutions (I had found in this forum except yours rszasz).
My MDA is less than 2 years old and I took it to a T-mobile shop in germany (during a business trip). They're proposing either to repair it, or to replace it (The guarantee is still runing).
After having flashed a cooked a rom in the kitchen, I still had the same problem, so in the perspective to bring it back to a T-mobile store, I reflashed the faulty file I had downloaded on the T-mobile Web site.
I hoppe they won't find out and make any trouble.
I like this MDA so much, I don't remember how it was without it !

All the best

Thank's but it's under guarantee and I get it repaired or a new one for nothing.

Best regards
