Stuck in the bootloader

[destombes_chris]

Hi all,

Trying to update to a WM6 rom, i may have done something wrong...
After formating as described in the guide, I can't communicate with the unit (in the RUU : error 260 update error).

On the bootloader screen, I can read :

"Tornado
IPL 1.00

Tornado
SPL 1.00.0008

Tornado 1U"

I've tried on 2 different XP PC's, no luck.

Any advice you can give to me ?

Thanks.

Having done a few mor searches :

- On another Tornado I own, I can read IPL & SPL are 2.00x. So my problem should come from them. I may have used a ROM with wrong versions. With this other Tornado, a small "USB" can be seen in the lower left corner of the bootloader. It never appears anymore with the broken one.

- I can flash this other Tornado without problem from the same PC, so the problem may not be on the PC.

- It seems that you can flash directly from the SD card : put a ROM with a specific name and boot. Anybody knows how to do that ? It could be a solution to gain access to my Tornado, and be able to use the usual tools.

Sorry if my questions are a bit stupid, but I'm no more in an area I know... I'm learning the hard way how to deal with all this !

Thanks.

Do a hard reset. I'm quite busy right now but do this: hold both left and right soft key and at the same time press the power on button. Press the zero key when prompted. You may have to try a few times as he timing is important.

Good luck!

I did it a few times : I'm asked to press the zero key, press it, can see the i-mate screen during 1 second, a white screen during 1 second, and then the bootloader 3 colours...

These tools need to communicate between the PC and the phone, and I can't right now.

The diff IPL SPL if I'm not wrong, have to do with the RADIO, someone correct me if I am wrong.

I have the same exact problem as you! I've flashed my Qtek 8310 with T-Mobile SDA rom (which is compatible...) since then.. My bootloader shows exactly the same as you, and when I plug the USB there is not the "USB" showing on the bottom left...

In addition to that, when I load up normally, it's stays stuck at the first T-Mobile logo screen...

Did you came out with a solution? I've tried Hard Reset too, but it didn't help, on the contrary... Now I'm stuck at bootloader and I do not get even the T-Mobile screen...

No, as of now, no luck... but I don't give up !
