Hey guys and gals,
In desperate need of help. Tried to upgrade my himalaya with the Asia O2 XDA II WM 2003 SE Upgrade.
Upgrade was unsuccesful; upon turning on the XDA there are only two things on the screen; near the top, it says 'Serial", and near the bottom, "v 1.06".
The xda will not respond to hard resets nor soft resets. What can I do to recover from this disaster? When cradled, it will not connect via usb to activesync.
If this is not user servicable, does anyone know a good place in Melbourne, Australia to fix the himalaya?
Any help is appreciated!
When it's docked in the cradle, does SERIAL change to USB?
Try this:
Take out the memory card (if you have one) and the battery. Not sure why the memory card, but mine had problems with it in when I tried to upgrade.
Wait 30 mins or so for the battery backup to flatten/wipe everything (You loose everything on a ROM upgrade anyway)
then plug the battery back in and recradle it and simply try starting the flash again.
I've had similar problems, but this has always worked here and we have different devices, but I feel confident that the same solution may work.
had the same problem... my solution was docking it in the cradle (it does not show connected) and reinstall the ROM
Failed upgrade of XDAII
Hello I was in the process of updating my XDA rom and after 50% was copied to the device it dropped out.
Now when I power on the XDA it hangs on the O2 screen and my rom flash program cannot talk to it.
I have tried taking the battery out and leaving it for an hour but this has no effect.
Any ideas?
Installing rom from the SD card on boot
Is it possible to do this and if so how would I go about it?
If I cant get an OS on it its going to have to go away for repair for 3 weeks.
Also have you done a few upgrades on your XDA2 and on the same PC?
I had the same issue with my XDA2 as I was upgrading to 2003SE (before getting a 2i) and I could not get any further than the USB 1.01 screen.
I installed Activesync on a laptop, put the USB in and put my 2i in to complete the installation. Then, I put the 2 in and tried rerunning the upgrade...worked first time! I'd spent 6 hours on my PC trying to get it working.
Worth a try, certainly!
Cheers
Anthony

My wife is going to kill me because I just bought this XDA 2 and now it is dead ! (like me soon !)
disastrous xda upgrade
try consulting dr. stein or toenailed or xda jojo and zeroxtreme. these are the tech guys in southeast asia. they're very good! :lol:
Have you tried rebooting into Bootloader mode (hold down D pad in centre position, then power button and soft reset - all at the same time), then trying to rerun the upgrade?

When you started the upgrade did all seem to go as planned? Did you have the power cable plugged in whilst upgrading? Did you notice any strange messages when it started to upgrade, and how far roughly did it get before you started having problems?
Also, what was the software version before you upgraded? Any ideas?
Cheers
Anthony
Hi Anthony: Everything seem to be going ok and then..
the screen went blank. I did have the AC plugged in during the attempted ROM conversion from Chinese to English and I tried rebooting into bootloader mode and nothing.
Do you think my 02 XDA2 can be fixed ?
Thanks
downgrade XDAII failure
Pals ,
I also facing the same problems , now my XDA II is blanked and only
Serial and V1.06 written ,
can anyone in this forum help ? please eeee ?
thanks
if the screen shows you something like serial1.something you're still okay. do a couple of hard resets; then put the unit back on the cradle. as expected activesync will not recognize the device BUT double click the upgrade file again.
this happened to me when i went to wm2003se; forgot to do a soft reset and proceeded with the upgrade. what i did was uncradled the unit, did a hard reset (screen still showed serial1.06), cradled her back (nothing happens here) then doubled clicked on the upgrade file. it proceeded accordingly until the entire process was completed.
dont' fret, as long as something's still showing on your screen you're still a-ok.
Thanks Robs..
I will try...
Yeah, after hard-resetting the unit, it seems that it did not reset because the serial/usb letters & v1.07 at the bottom of the screen is still there. But if you drain the battery, then put it back in the cradle & restart the ROM upgrade, it will work. At least it did for me.
As I've also said but seems to have been ignored, try running the upgrade on a different PC...you may be surprised!
Cheers
Ant
thanks Anton ...
I tried so many times in my pc until the sync wont work anymore , so i tried to do at my laptop ... still same .... should i change to another pc again ? pls advice , thanks man.

I've done all search BUT still can not solve out my problem.
I tried to upgrade my current ROM (1.03) to 1.60 BUT when upgrade in process; suddenly it said cannot find the device(XDAII).
At that time I took out the machine from cradle and did soft reset. And put it back to cradle to continue upgrade. And the error message still said it still can not find the device.
When I tried to enter into Bootloader mode and USE ROM on SD to restore my original ROM, BUT I tried the method mentioned in some post;
still cannot go to BOOTLOADER mode. On the screen it always said " Serial on the top.
Could anyone help me please?
I have the same problem..
i even tried with Qtek Rom, MDA rom... still not working.
When I turn on the xda II, it only displaying serial on top and v.1 06 at bottom.
tried to run the xdaII upgrade rom with the error :
ERROR 100 : MODEL ID ERROR 1-N-PH-PH-PH
If I try with QTEK and MDA Rom it just does nothing, or it hangs for a long time..
I have tried many times and still not working..
please anyone..
I have the same problem, people, pls help

XDAII stuck in bootloader
mine too , stuck in bootloader with written :
SERIAL V1.06
nothing else ,
what can we do pals ?
no one try to help ????
please ?????
thanks
steve
if you have something written on the screen; such as SERIAL V1.06 then in my opinion you're still okay. do a couple of hard resets, put the unit back on the cradle and double click the upgrade file again. a lot of chaps ran into this same problem but eventually got it going again.
cheers
Thanks Robson..
I did that last nite , but still facing same probs .....
by the way , how to drain my batt ? just take out from the unit for 1 hour ?
and it will automatically drainned ? pls tell me ... thanks before...
Hope this is help...
I have the same problem b4, its frustating to see my XDA become an "expensive brick". After trying everything finally worked. What i did, after u turn on your computer plug in the cradle and also put the XDA into the cradle. Usually the computer didn't recognize it as Pocket PC, so u need to insert the companion CD to ur CDROM. After the computer install the driver, go to folder where ur upgrade file at. Click on HimaUpgradeUt.exe and follow the instruction until finish. DON'T FORGET not to disconnect the power or even take out the XDA headset from the cradle until finish. Good luck guys
I have an XDAII (SPV M1000 by Orange) purchased in France. Up to now I had shifted it succesfully into English environment and everything was working ok.
Some days ago I downloaded the 1.72 firmware in order to update its ROM (from v 1.66). However (and as you may imagine) the upating procedure went wrong and the only thing I can see now is a blank screen showing "v 1.06" as well as the "serial/USB" indication.
Can anyone help by showing me the way to bring it back from the dead ?
Thanks in advance!
Recradle the phone and start the upgrade again. It may take some time.
Thanks for answering mate! I' ve tried it a couple of times and nothing happens. As it seems to go on for ages after 1 1/2 hrs I manually stopped it!
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again...
Restart ur computer and plug ur O2 with cradle or USB
Now u can upgrade again
Thanks

Hi Mods and all
I am new in this forum .... and new with PDA in general ,.. although i have experience in regular cell phones ,,,
I have come up with an issue that i need help with from you guys who seem to be experts...
I have an XDA Atom which turns on upto O2 screen and freezez right there .. i tried to hard reset the phone but failed..
When i press power on and reset button .. screen asks me to press green and red key when i do it says clean boot .. and than do u want to reset your phone ? and than after that i tried to press all keys but nothing happens ,,,
I dont know wht is the problem but i think or assume that i have lost bootloader and or Rom ,,, Please help with this part
Also what tools do i use to flash what i have to flash as the PDA cannot connect with the USB becuase it is not turning on ,,, Please help with this part
Also what do i need to flash to this phone to revive it ,,,? please help with this issue ,, and where can ii download this files ,,
please explain step by step and or direct me to a link where i can geet this information
thank u in advance ,,,
Mike
Thanks for not replying ... but finally i managed ..downloaded the latest version of ROM and put the phone in flash mode by holding camera and reset key at the same time and flashed it ,,
make sure Battery is full ..
Now phone working just fine ..posted this for some other newbie like me

mike
Drat. Got to this one too late. Sorry
Anyways, the Atom does have the tendency to lose track of its own extended ROM (You can actually see this happening if you use the WM5 hidden storage revealer - which ironically happens to cause the problem sometimes as well).
Symptoms include:
- A phracking long boot time (>7 minutes, seems to hang)
- Screen goes out of alignment
- Camera, Autoconfig, Equalizer don't work.
- Hard reset doesn't help.
- EXTROM info is missing from device settings (shows as blank) - tho sometimes the device works without this anyhoo.
- CMOS version is also missing (the device definitely won't work in this case)
Probable cause:
- Someone or something just tried to write to your hidden storage root. (Eh?)
Far as I know there's no method to recover other than flashing your phone again. Just one of the design flaws of the Atom, I guess...
(Yes, I feel for you. I had to solve this myself too, and I didn't want to send it in. Thankfully, this isn't a common problem. )
I've just downloaded the latest Rom from seeo2.com hongkong and I had the very same problem.
My XDA Atom Exec is frozen at the O2 screen.
mun66, if you read this, could you explain how you fixed it?
thanks.

would you plz tell here which rom u used for this ????????
Well, my Atom Exec will do the same sometimes.
But the following method works everytime!!!
Take out the battery. Charge it with a charger until full !!!!
Put it back to the machine, it works every time !!!
Or you may try just charge it in the machine for a few hours and see if that works. Since I always have a spare battery charged, every time that dumb thing stuck, I just changed the battery and it waked up again.

You guys just need to go into bootloader mode before performing an upgrade. For the XDA Atom just press Power+Dpad(center)+stylus reset momentarily, and its now in bootloader mode. RUN again the Update program. If you still experience the same thing, the update file you downloaded might be corrupted. You have to download again and flash your device again.
Mine is still stucked in O2 though done all of the above ways,
got the new ROM and flash it, but still stuck in it.
PLS HELP ME GUYS!!!

You might want to send it in the the service centre for a check, just in case it's a hardware problem.. If you still face the same issue even without installing any software..
That's probably a good idea, but i'd like to try some tricks on many threads before.
And also I've heard that O2 service center are not cool

Do keep us posted..
I will face the same problem if i install too much programs.. I guess it's either Pocket Plus, Diary 2 which is causing my problem.. Now wondering if i should change to Atom Life, since they announce WM6... If only there's a perfect phone.
Thank God, it's working after 5x flashing but it still had bug.
I still have to take the battery off for at least 15 minutes if I try to reset the Atom.
Sure 1 thing for ATOM, IT SU**S!!!
i have a friend also has a trouble like this ,but he has solved the problem when he charged the exec. do not you have a try ?
I just picked up one of these to play with.
Mine gets by the O2 screen but if I have a few apps on it it loads the Today screen but then freezes and won't let me access anything either by hard key or screen. Soft reset just repeats the cycle.
This is with only around 4 apps loaded. One of them must be a culprit?
By the way, it came shipped with WM6.0 (ROM: WWE_RC2170507B2).

os 2.20 jesterz
You should find an extra usb cable and expose the black and red wires. Plug the oposite end into the usb port on your computer, then hold the red wire on the positive end of the battery and put the black wire on the negative end of the battery. Do this for about 30 seconds then put your battery back into your phone. This will restart your battery.
real help

Can you enter bootloader? Hold the COMM manager button and soft reset.

Please do not cross post the same thing in several threads. You have been answered alread. I have deleted the repeated posts for you. strike 1
Wow! There is a moderator for this forum!
Have you tried entering bootloader when the device is plugged into the charger? I know you say the battery works, but that doesn't mean the device can use the battery. Does the device do anything when plugged in or powered on?
