Mobile Gadget News :: Making Your Mobile Life Simpler _ Motorola MPx200 _ Phone dead after upgrade mpx200

Posted by: homerjs Jan 25 2006, 08:02 PM

Did you try an upgrade with your mpx200?
Can't you turn on your phone?
Don't you see anything on your screen?

Because i received a lot of PM's I decided to help out you guys who tried an upgrade.

You have to turn on your phone while holding your left navigation button. Then connect your phone to ur PC with the USB cable. If you hear a sound from your PC. Then your phone is connected.

If it doesnt work. Dont worry. Just pop the battery out of the phone.
For at least 1 hour or even longer.

Just try and try, it might work!

I tried hundred times or so until it works. Be sure your battery is full. Otherwise just connect it to your phone and charge it overnight. And yes, you cant see while its charging.

Dont ask for the original image! I wont give any. I just wanna say that you have to downgrade to Windows Mobile 2003. And you might find it with the program which the icon like a a mule. blink.gif

Thanks for that guide. I know I've seen a few people with this problem, now I'll have somewhere to point them when they need it.

We just did a couple of other WM5 upgrades on the MPx200 and it happened on one of them.
Fix was real simple, remove battery, wait a couple of minutes, put battery back in and connect the phone to the charger. After about 5 to 10 minutes the screen lights up and the phone start charging.
Reflash it with WM5 and you are back in business.

I have seen a couple of posts about the phone being stuck on a white screen, that only happens if you don't wait long enough for the phone to return an error message after you have loaded the first image file. After you load the first image file and do the hard reset, it will come up on a screen with some garbage about this being a ROm for use by MS only, after that it goes to the "Mofbile Operator" screen and stays there for a while, finally it gives you an error message, THAT is when you can proceed with the upgrade.
