Stuck in Bootloader!

---

Well I think I'm gonna be sick....

Help me please. I killed my baby!!!!!
ohhh maybe not ok I won't freak. I took the risk.

Sorry bout that just whinning out loud. Here is my sotuation. I wanted to upgrade my rom to mario's 9.6 over at ppcgeeks. I thought I followed all the rules but I got stuck in the bootloader mode I think. All I get is a dark screen that says serial when not connected to cable or usb when it is. (oooooooooh its bad it hurts) Ok, I disconnected it from comp tried to launch the rom exe after I sft reset. It went to bootload and nothing works now no sft or hrd reset. Did I kill her? ( It really hurts. Please say it aint so. Ill tack it all back) I'll stay away from rom updates forever !!! Just give her back to me un harmed)

There's a tutorial for Stuck In bootloader somewhere... please search...

For thoose who stuck in bootloader this is how to unstuck:

1. Get Mtty here:

2. Right Click Activesync icon in tray, and select connection setting, then un-mark Allow USB connections at Activesync Connection settings.


3. Extract the zip file and Run mtty.exe and select USB from the Port dropdows list and then click OK button.


4. press Enter two times for showin USB>
5. Type:
set 14 0
[ENTER]
task 8
[ENTER]
(for soft-reset).


6. Ur device should reset and u might close mtty utility.
7. Done.

ur device should be just fine... if not try to re-flash the OS again while in Bootloader (press and hold POWER+RECORD button then press RESET)

re-enable/re-mark Activesync after this proccess might necesarry, to allow USB Connection again for enablin Activesync ur pda with ur PC.

u r the best man..

You are AWWWWsome. I followed your instructions and my baby lives.
I am stuck with mario 9.6 rom but that ain't bad compared to a bricked phone.
I am interested in how to cook my own rom. I'm gonna keep readin though cause I apparently have a lot to learn.

Helmi...


I'm in the same boat except I cannot use mtty because I do not have an option for USB, only COM1 and 2......I also tried another utility I found on ppcgeeks called uni_exitbootloader without success. The details can be found here:

My question is What can I do now???

Any thoughts....Anyone?????

GOD BLESS YoURE HART OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG URRRRRRRRRRRA GENIOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I tried several times to run the mtty.exe program without success. I was running WinXP inside Parallels and each time I connected the PPC6700 to the Mac, Parallels told me that another program was using the PPC6700. After acknowledging that message mtty would not show me a USB connection.

Finally I hit on the idea of rebooting my Mac and booting directly into Windows (I used BootCamp to create a separate Windows partition). Obviously this way, Parallels was not involved. mtty immediately showed me a USB option, and 10 seconds later my unit was rebooting successfully.

Many, many thanks! Un abrazo muy fuerte!
