MDA compact 2 DEAD tried everything

[retina76]

I have very foolishly tried to upgrade my mda compact 2 with a Vario ROM
Now I have
IPL 1.01
SPL1.12.000
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2


I charged my battery with an external charger even then it was not detected by the pc via usb cable for sync.

Then I bought an external cradle which can charge the mda compact from external power at the same time you can connect the usb cabble to pc for sync. The cradle is working okay on another charmer but doesnot charge my charmer at .MDA.

I can only connect mda with external charger which came with mda and it turns it on but doesnot charge the battery. I donot know what else to do. Is there any way that I can update the ROM from my SD card while it is connected to te mains charger.


i need from senior gurus

plz help.

hello
i have the same problem. i take out the battery then you saw 6 pin in the phone

i put 3,5v on 2pin + , 2pin - and 2 empty.
from top of phone

1 empty
2 +
3 +
4 -
5 -
6 empty

then i go in bootloader connect usb to pc and all was fine.

but you do it on your own risk you can kill it

[retina76]

did u use by a separate new battery 3.5 v as the on mda battery you cannot make out +ve or negative terminals.
i covered 1 and 6 with paper to omit 1 and 6 connections but it did not work.

i use powersuply with 3,6v take out battery and connect the power with the mda

[retina76]

i have tried using a power supply and connecting as you told but no luck, i was wondering how this could work as when phone goes in bootloader mode the charging circuit is stopped?? i may be wring but thats what i read in one of forums.

any bright ideas

[jressel01]

i dont charge anything i put the power to the phone without accu inside and it work pin 1 and 6 are for charge akku

[Nokia 3650]

Does the 3.5v have to be 1.5A (approximaely)?

My charmer won't even turn on. It won't do a hard reset either.
My PC, doesn't even detect it.

[Nokia 3650]

I just pulled apart my charmers battery pack, to realize that pin #1 is the same as pin#2 and pin #5 is the same as pin #6. Whenever I connect an arbitrary power source as indicated in your previous post, the screen only flickers for a fraction of a second. Any other suggestions?

My battery is definately not holding charge at all.

[Nokia 3650]

What about this page?
http://pinouts.ru/PDA/qtek_power_pinout.shtml

[ChrBeck]

The site is for xda 2. Because of this the pins aren't the same.

[Nokia 3650]

I charged my battery with an external charger

Which pins did you connect the external charger to?

[Nokia 3650]

ChrBeck, The pinout in post #5 works for powering up my phone, but I want a configuration for charging my battery now, since I don't have the original charger.

[ChrBeck]

You may can conect the Charger you use to power the phone and connect it to the pins of battery like in post 5. It maybe charges. But i haven't tryed it. It also can burn down your battery.

Good evening Guys,
I cant get the Bootloader with normal usb-cable, only with power-supply. When I plug out the cable the mda display is flashing. IPL1.01 SPL 3.08. Can you help me?

[Nokia 3650]

I've concluded that you'll need to flash the unit, using as SD card (instead). I'll post the URL

[Nokia 3650]

I already tried this, it didn't work. I'm looking to try something else.

[manoisking]

Got it...with power-supply on pins. Now the phone stucks in bootscreen an shows ipl 3.08 spl 3.08

[Nokia 3650]

You should now try to flash it with the official ROM. You seem to be in the same boat that I'm in as well. My charmer works fine, when I connect the pins to a power supply, but not when connected to the battery (as it notmally would). The batteries, are fully charged too.

[manoisking]

With official ROM you mean "RUU_compactII_AKU3.3_38222_382117_026921R_TMO_DE_G ER_Ship" ??? after this update I got the stuck bootscreen, its only an update, right?
can you give me link to the ROM?

Thiy this, and let me know

[manoisking]

Hello,
I tried the "ruu_compactii_aku3.3_38222_382117_026921_tmo_de_ge r_ship.exe" and it always hangs in bootscreen. Now it shows IPL 3.08 spl 3.08.0000 GSM 02.69.21 OS 3.8.2.22 again.

[Nokia 3650]

I'll need a few minutes to try and think up a soloution myself.


Did you try connecting pins 2&3 (from the top) to a positive teminal of a ~3V power supply (and pins 4&5 to the negative terminal)?


I only ask this, because my Charmer reacts totally different when using the battery, and works normally using the configuration I stated above.

[manoisking]

Yes, I tried this, so I get the SPL/IPL 3.08 again. Before, I didnt get the MDA into Bootloader. Only with the pin-trick. But you dont have to break your head Ive made somthing wrong, a short, I dont know... now its lighting red, when powercable is plugged, no bootloader, no hardreset, no USB connection, nothing. Never mind, fu**ing MDAs. Ill take a new one from ebay or you have a second for me ;)
Ahh, thank you for helping so far.

[Nokia 3650]

If I don't get my Charmer working normally(without the pin trick), I'd probably send it to you then.



Last Resort: Did you follow Vlodeck's suggestion, and try a prophet ROM?

[cipyi18]

lot of thanx man...you are the best..my mda compact II is back to life with your methond

[Nokia 3650]

I feel so left out, right now. My charmer, is stuck on the splashscreen before it turns itself off (after about 6 seconds). The only thing I can do, it re-flash it in bootloader mode, but it doesn't fix the problem.

Going to sound silly but have you tried a hard reset just after flash?

[Nokia 3650]

Yes, I've hard reset the unit several times (immediately after a flash) with no success.

[Nokia 3650]

I've now started messing around with the MTTY.exe program, but I do not know any useful commands to help rectify the situation.

I'm just waiting on ChrBeck for his next suggestion.
