stuck in boot loader updating to 1.43 on black shadow

[tcSPVm3100]

I was trying to upgrade to radio v1.43 in the hope that battery life was improved over 1.41 however when it got to 8% it stopped and gave me an error i can't remember:( After atempting to recover, it got off the three colour screen now the 3100 stalls on the blackshadow version4 screen (bootloader screen?) and goes no further. I tried reflashing but got a 260 and using mtty, only getting 2 com port options, didn't offer any help.
I'm really sorry to have not been able to sort this with reading through the relevant post but I haven't found a solution. What else can I try?

Hi,

Could you pls advise what is your device made, model, SPL version ... etc.

Also did you try to do Hard reset?

I'm using now black MAJIK (and few days ago black shadow) with radio 1.43 with no problem.

[tcSPVm3100]

its the SPV m3100 When I decided to go Black shadow I read up on mr vanx and made sure I had all the things I needed. If I remember right, when I came to upgrade to Majik the auto detect found the second option down
SPL-1.04/1.10 - 1.09 Bootloader. I've realized since I had a spaz and ran the RUU from the archive this time. From what I've since read thats not too cleaver.

I have tried a hard reset and took the battery out instead of pressing space.

I dont know if this information on the starter screen is of use

S 04

I'm not sure, but hard reset doesnt mean you take the batery out.

Please check that link:

I was in your position (hanged on booting) few days ago, and when i did hard reset, it changes every thing to basic normal condition.

[tcSPVm3100]

i meant when i did a hard reset when it asked me to press space to reboot I took the battery out. I tried again this time pressing space to reboot but I still get stuck on the loading screen. I can't connect by USB to the PC I'm guessing the drivers on the phone haven't loaded and I'm stuck as to what to do.

Does anyone have any ideas?

try look at it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755

[tcSPVm3100]

ok I've tried everything I can think of to connect the 3100 to the computer so I can reflash it but mtty gives only com 1 and com2 but no USB and neither those two work, active sync wont connect so I disabled it as suggested and running the radio ruu and wrapper wont querry the device. I am now at a loss as to what to do next someone must know what I should do. Please?

I have tried changing KITL trasport but I am unable to select or chose either option. I have also tried the rversion command in the tri colour screen but nothing happens. I hope I'm missing something nice and simple but I get the feeling I'm not going to be that lucky. Please help

I suggest you check again, press and hold the side OK button and the power button...then put the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the unit.

[tcSPVm3100]

yeah I've done that it's "SPL-1.09"

I had this exact problem yesterday, with the same bootloader too. The phone would not pass the splash and IT refused to upgrade. I ended up downgrading to a shipped wm5 rom (in my case the cingular 1.30.502.1_1.11.00.00) which to my surprise actually worked as no rom radio or spl upgrade moved at al on my phone. Then upgraded back to black majik. I hope this helps.

[tcSPVm3100]

Thanks. I downloaded the trial of wm5 from the windows website and it asked me to install .NET framework version 1 so I got that but it turns out to be 2.0 not 1.1 It would say it had repaired but it would say this with or without the phone connected.

Just download a WM5 ROM from the wiki page! :rolleyes:

[tcSPVm3100]

ok tried this too no luck.
Trying to use the one from orange (linked to through wikki) I get an 294 invalid vendor error however active sync cannot connect yet of course so is this to be expected?
I have however gotten a connection with mtty which is a step forward:) dunno what to do with it yet though except trying the password 0000000000000000 command but it not disabling the password. This then lead me to read for a further hour how to change it and I've got to be honest; it beat me. I have No idea what the hell its talking about. My head hurt with so much reading.

I get a no gsm pop up v briefly on loader. I so want my phone back

[tcSPVm3100]

I have since tried CID unlocker just so i get something installed onto this brick but I either get a connection error or it telling me it can't install for some other reason. I can not set the password in mtty to 0000000000000000 so how do I do that and is this the first step to getting things sorted? "just running a rom install" is not happening I can get a USB connection in mtty and that is it. Is the fact i'm running SPL 1.09 a problem? I'm getting precious little help guys If i'm posting in the wrong place or something please let me know. I need thing thing back now. Hours are drifting by with me trying to get some head knowledge but I still need some guidance please

can u flashing HARD V7?,i think better u have IPL 1.04 SPL 2.10olipro first ,then try to flashing radio?
and did u try SD card.

[tcSPVm3100]

In bootloader can anyone here connect with active sync? I can't so updating rom and radio flashes in the usual way isn't possible. Trying the hard spl again it tells me to make sure active sync is connected and as it isn't it throws back a 262 update error. 0% on the hermes and that's currently as far as I can get. I have no means with which to access the memory card.

[mrvanx]

The reason you get an invalid vendor ID is because your CID doesnt match....download a ROM which is for your device (an orange one?)...then try.

You need to read the wiki alot more before trying anything else since you are not aware of the vendor ID error...nor the fact you MUST use HardSPL.

[tcSPVm3100]

I linked to the orange ROM from wikki and tried installing it. it was while installing THIS ROM SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407.exe I got invalid vendor error.

Installing a recent DL on HARD spl v7 I get a 240 open file error that's one I haven't had before.

With all other attempts they all say they want an active sync connection.

I can not connect to the phone through active sync

so all attempts by me to flash anything to the phone using an RUU fails.

can i install radio 1.43 on an italian 3 locked phone?

[tcSPVm3100]

seriously, IS there anything I can do? I'm using a 6310i as a backup phone :eek: what can I do to install a radio to the hermes when all I get is a connection error or a halt on 0% where I then have to recover? and how can I get around the password error in mtty so i can install the original orange Rom? I can't find info on how to make sure I use a correct or matching ROM but haven't come across a problem since trying to install the orange one which I had on there in the first place.

[noiz13]

mine was stuck also on the bootload screen, hard reset dint work then i read something about a wm6 trail rom did instal it and it worked its rom nr 3.12.3.6 give it a try

[tcSPVm3100]

thanks but I opted for the "hello my phone's stopped working. What's that? no its just not loading up. No I don't know why. £15 you say? really? nothing you can do about it? oh well hard luck to me stick on my next bill would you?" Approach. Lucky me I guess. worth every one of those £5 a month to insure it that's for sure.

satin and 1.54 later all is good so far.... except for a voice mail icon that wont dissapear. Odd
