Hello,

i have finally got the software. I will not be a pain about that anymore. I have updated just now the phone and it does not start anymore now. I installed all the files and after the third it said it is all OK. i removed and replaced the batteru and after that nothing happened anymore. NO sign of live, does not even get recognized by the update software.

Anyone an idea what to do?

Thanks

Try taking the batter out for an hour or so, putting the battery back in and plugging it into the charger and leaving it on the charger for a couple hours. Does the front LCD eventually show the battery is being charged? After that try to hard reset it as stated in the directions. If that doesn't work try holding the left direction on the d-pad while plugging it into your PC and see if the update software will recognize it now.

Thanks for the help.

I have tried this. I remove the battery for a few hours then i replace it and charge it for a few hours. While it is chraging it shows the progress on the front display. When i try to hard reset it it does not work.When i try to turn it on it does not work. The update software does not find the phone either

I have just tried and it gets recognized by the update software. I just flashed it again and the same happens. I can flash all 3 files as i am supposed to by the description here. When i try to do the master reset the phone just does not react anymore. When i try to charge it does not react. If i remove the battery and replace it after a hour it does charge.

Anyone any idea what is wrong with it? Is the only phone i have at the monet and it really sucks not to have a phone for nearly a week now.

Can i get anywhere, without violating board rules, the rom with wm02 or wm03?

Thanks

It sounds like you either got a corrupted version of the ROM, or the SD card you're using doesn't like WM5. If this is your only phone I wouldn't recommend using WM5 anyway though because it has a lot of bugs. Motorola didn't officially release any ROMs for the MPx200, so we can't give them to you hear. They should be even easier to find than the WM5 ROM using Google.

I have tried all of that with no luck. I have even reflashed the phone. It all goes fine untll after the last image. When i remove and replace the battery and try to jard reset it it does not do anything. I have to remove/replace the sim so i can charge it. I have used another memory card for the update.


I have found a few places which had the ROMs but no one does anymore. Not even the original. Anyone any idea what else i can try?

Which brand & size of SD card have you used so far?
I've tried both Lexar 256Mb SD card & Kingston 256Mb SD card & they worked fine.
Check this...
1. Take out the SD card that you used in the two flashes that failed & see if there's any content in there.
I found out that I can pop in any FAT formatted SD card into the unit & it'll rebuild the system folders & files from ROM. This process takes awhile so that accounts for the delay between pressing the power button with the bootloader screen & the OS actually booting up with the MS Windows Mobile logo splashscreen.
If there are contents in the SD card, then chances are that your ROM image could be corrupted.
2. Compare the contents of the two cards & see if they match.
If one of the cards have more folders/files than the other, then the one with the lesser content would probably not be suitable for the MPx200. Many users in this forum has fedback about certain make & speed of SD card not able to boot the phone.
3. Format one of the SD cards in FAT format with default settings & pop it into the phone.
Start up & phone & wait for a while. If nothing shows on the main screen, then it a high chance your ROM image is corrupted. Did you connect the MPx200 directly to the PC or via a hub? Try connecting directly to avoid bus problems.
The fact that your Upgrade Wizard can detect the phone is some consolation..the phone is still alive.
Also, since the charging image on the front screen shows up when you charge the phone, that means the "BIOS" of the system board is still intact.
So...there's still hope...
