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

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum thing. I bought a 02 XDA 2 on Ebay last week. I tried to upgrade ROM to English from Chinese and now my screen is dead and no link to Microsoft ActivieSync.
Is my unit dead ??
Please help !!
forgot to mention that I tried the things posted earlier !
I tried taking battery out for 1/2 hour and then the hard reset. Still nothing
Help !!!!
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.

Shut down the device completely, then you can charge your Wizard through AC adapter.
After the device is fully charged (Red LED changes to Green), Enter bootloader (Press Power, then hold Camera button) and run RUU to upgrade it.

IS THERE ANY HOPE OR I LOST IT FOREVER???????
1. You should use O2 stock ROM or Wizard Love ROM for OS restore, not i-mate
2. Your battery may be flat. Plug your wizard into wall charger, wait for it to fully charged, then enter RUU again.

i changed the battery but no change
thanx in advance
I had similar experience a while back.
WIZARD LOVE did it for me.
Good luck.
Try following this thread to get it back into bootloader mode. Once you have it there and it is connected to your PC again, flash your latest O2 Rom. Not an I-Mate Rom or anything else until you are able to bring it back to life again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107
can any one give me the link to latest O2 Rom
i failed to get it from wiki

Please describe what you can see now in the screen of bootloader.
I think I've faced the same problem on my Atom Life before(my device has been dead(due to flashing error), but then cured by myself)... Maybe I can help.
check the site's wiki
there should be something about this.
additionally, have you tried the mini sd card flashing method (you can enter it's bootloader by holding the camera button - if thats the bootloader you're not talking about)

hi manmohan
First thing Dont Panic. There could be several things which might be responsible together making things difficult and confused.
1) Battery have not enough power.
2) Rom installation failed in the middle due to ROM file corruption.
Possible solution (Worth trying out)
----------------------------------
1) For first thing to confirm. Keep battery on charge for 1 hour though nothing is on screen. This will charge no only the main battery but also the internal CMOS battery, which is important. The redlight of charging will show that phone hardware is charging your battery. You are done with BATTERY.
2) Download fresh copy of any compatible rom on your pc. Connect any USB CARD-READER to your PC. Format SD Memory Card in FAT format (also known as FAT16) on your pc. Be sure the card is less than 2GB. If its 1 GB it is better. Copy the AL1.DIO file on SDCARD. You are done with SDCARD.
3) Try installing ROM exactly as mentioned in this THREAD
4) If still this fails, that means your battery is not yet fully charged or not working properly. Go to any mobile shop and ask them to charge the battery to full with thier charging unit and again start from step 1. Also ask the mobile technician if your battery is fine or not.
If battery is above 70% and card is FAT and ROM file is not corrupted, the installation again will go fine and you will be with your mobile again.
THIS MAY HELP, I M NOT SURE, BUT WORTH TRYING OUT THESE BASIC STEPS. HOPE THIS HELPS.
BEST OF LUCK...

Try charging your battery until the amber light turns green (it means it is fully charged).Then try to do a hard reset (pressing the power and reset button simultaneously). It will bring your phone to the last ROM that was installed.
Dear ManMohan
No need to send private emails. May be you are assuming most of us as mobile hardware experts but trust me many of us are not. I am just trying to help.
I am sure, you are very near to solution which you can do on your own. And yes, discussing all this in forum, will help many other people too now and in future, than in private emails.
--------------------------------------------
Try to find Original ROM from O2 website here http://www.myxda.com/romupgrade.aspx Select Atom Life and download Rom Installer for XP version and VISTA version both. Write them on blank CD for future reference, just in case you may need in future. DOWNLOAD THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THEY CLOSE THE SITE AS O2 IS ALREADY TAKEN OVER BY MWG (www.mwg.com)
Try installing this official ROM from your PC with this installer, while your O2 Atom life connected to PC with USB Cable. Even this method also restores many phones from boot error.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Yap Atom Dead bootloader is very annoying
Almost 1 year my Atom life dead or brick.I already Searched even to Service Center in our country and Atom central service in Singapure and china but none of them can fixed this this problem. They Said : "The Only way for fixing this brick atom life just Replace mother board".The Atom which has dead bootloader can not fix with Just press whatever button in your atom or even install New ROM.Cause the one of term for installing the new rom to The ATOM life is port must be detected by USB Computer port.But in this condition your atom life nothing detected by USB Port computer.Reasonly you can not nothing to do.But FYI if you have contact person in China precisely in Quanta Computer Manufacturer especially in Maintenance or engineering, I think there's only hope.But In the world there's nothing imposible to do.Until now I am still keeping my brick atom dead life, waiting someone can solve this problem. many thx.

I am building jtag hardware. I will try to flash boot loader using linux taken from this site.
HTML:
http://www.nrs.pt/pub/projects/acuv2/doc/mel-colibri/html-chunk/mel.bininstall.html
It is also possible to use windows, but some parts of the program is missing. Still, I am having a hard time to build the jtag hardware, taken some parts from nokia dct3 flasher.
Had the same problem and after about 15 days of its brick status I took it out and charged and after 100 % charged installed the official "Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2" and then subsequently the PDAVIET ROM 6.1 with AL1.DIO.
can you explain the procedure in detail.?

I think the problem not from the JTAG Software.Officially Intel PXA 270 can be flashed by reguler flasher software with jflashm or even HJTAG and I already read detailly in the intel section site,but we can not find the right position so we can not flush directly eboot this processor.Now I am unfolding this atom for searching The right JTAG Position.But I don't know how identify this jtag point.In this side board there are many point, I think I must try one by one, do u have any idea?
