is anyone prepared to shed some light on my problem !!

situation - tried to upgrade executive rom - upgrade seemed to run well right throught to the congratulations screen - i was then told to reset device after which i was given the prompt - press x or 0.

after which the device tried to reboot however !!! and this is where it goes expensivley wrong :( :( the machine then poweres up with a very unusual screen pattern - it looks like a fizzy hash of red green and blue pixels - the device will not power down or anything - i f i squint at the screen i can see what is almost text around three lines near bottom right of screen but it is impossible to decipher. if i soft key - - and reset then i get back to the familier grey back drop with the request "press 0 to restore - press x to exit"
whichever i choose the above situatipon prevails.

i have read many many posts all bear no fruit whatsoever - i try running the mtty utility ( suspecting that i have issues with bootloader) but i cant get it to offer me a usb conection - i have religiously worked through various trouble shoots on this including running it on laptop which isnt installed with activsync, on this i am offered com 1 - 2 - 3
but nothing seems to connect to the device i would like somone to confirm if i am in a retrievable situation or that i am wasteing my time - idealy if anyone could point me at or guide me through to a solution i would happily show my appreciation via a donation to this forum and or otherwise.

if i try to run helimis rom using noid.exe i get error code 150 - this suggest to me that the utility is connecting to the device although i am not completly convinced it is connecting.

please be assured i am not trying to avoid helping myself with this post i am prepared to read and search through posts " which i have been doing" but i guess due to my inexperiance i might be overlooking some relative information.

Try the following:

1. Press power button+reset+backlight to enter bootloader mode.

2. Connect your machine to the host PC with USB cable.

3. Start upgrade as before.

I hope it helps...

Hi, were you able to get into the bootloader? if so please give us some more details about this last procedure suggested by jarbi.

Sergio.

thanks but that doesnt work :(

Just one more idea: did you remove your SD and SIM card before connecting ? It causes sometimes a problem for USB connection.

Yes sim and sd card removed prior to attempting - as far as i can tell my device is not entering bootloader mode correctly the screen is a "fizzy hash of pixels red green and blue".

Wow - that's bad news. I was thinking of re-flashing mine just for the fun of it, but maybe not....
