Sorry for annoying every one here. The problem with phone is this.
I have a O2 XDA Mini S which I recently bought. The person I bought it off had removed the O2 stuff with some other ROM. There was a few niggly problems mainly the symbol keys were assigned to the wrong keys etc.
I followed a link on the O2 website which said it was an upgrade. I installed this and it appears to actually have "downgraded" the phone. Now my phone once again has all the O2 branded stuff, I'm not an O2 customer. I'm on Meteor in Ireland.
I've tried downloading almost every file I could find related to this. New ROMs etc but once I try to install them the screen goes RGB and I get Error 300 invalid update tool
As I said I've try almost all links I can find to rectify this with no joy.
Could some very nice person out there, talk me through the steps to get my phone back running with an up to date ROM?
I'd greatly appreciate it guys. I'm a total newbie at this so I hope you'll take it easy on me
you need to use shelltool.
you will find it at the top of the G4 forum.
hope this helps.
Thanks Stabloid.
I'll give that a try when I get home. Do I just run the shell tool and then install the ROM?
Hey Stabloid,
I downloaded Shelltool. Unfortunately there was no instructions with it.
From what I could figure out I put the two cab files on the xda/ wizard and installed them there. I rebooted the xda then tried running the shell tool.
I've tried it a few times. I let the program run for an hour last night and nothing happend it just kept saying "Do not disconnect..."
The other error I kept getting was "please make hard reset" followed by a list of instructions which I followed and yet still got the same results.
Can someone please help me out with this or supply full instructions for the shell tool?
Thanks.

first of all i have been searching the forum all week and not been able to find a solution.
ive been trying to help a friend who has an orange m1000.
he cant say exactly how it happened but hes left with just the serial/usb screen and ver1.03.
i have tried everything i know to get it running again including putting the rom from my o2 xda2 on to sd and trying to boot from that but get
sections 1 unable to load error.
i have downloaded a rom from orange but with not being able to connect to activesync im stuck.
if anyone can give me an idiots guide or point me to an existing one you would have my evrlasting thanks. (i told my friend it would only tak a couple of hours and it's been over a week now)
i dont care what rom it takes as long as i can get it to work again.
I need help!!
I recently purchased a mint condition T-mobile HTC 9500. I was able to unlock it, and was using LumpiStefan's ROM cooking utility to remove some of the T-mobile specific items on my device. Picked out everything I wanted, downloaded the ROM and began the updating process. I did a full backup on my device and saved it to my hard drive before I began the upgrade.
About halfway through the upgrading process, there was a power outage in my neighborhood. The phone is now stuck on the upgrade screen, and Active Sync no longer recognizes my device.
I have read about and downloaded the XDA tools package, but cannot seem to get the OSImage tool to extract any info from my full backup on to an SD card so I can reflash the device in bootloader (version 5.15). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here...
Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
...never mind!!
OK, so after further reading and exploration on this site, I figured it out!!
I'll know better next time
anyway - This is an excellent site. Thanks to all who have made it so...
stipe1965, where did you find a thread explaining a fix for this problem? I'm a newb and I'm reading all these threads with no results. I have the same issue, stuck in bootloader?
Hello everyone.
I know this topic is listed everywhere in this forum but somehow am getting very confused with what I've read so I hope you guys can help me out here instead.

This is my situation.
I'm currently using an O2 Atom Exec with a WM5 OS and I would really LOVE to change it to WM6/WM6.5 (seeing all the Youtube videos having touchflo/HTC & iPhone features) are really interesting.
So I tried downloading several ROMs today and none of them is working on me. I've done all the steps required (copy the 6 files to C:/Windows/Temp and then run the DSUU).
After a few minutes, my mobile will just get disconnected with the PC and it says "No Download Target Found" and the "Connection Error" will appear after.

So am just wondering what is wrong because I tried during it for the whole afternoon already and it just won't work. I'm getting frustrated.
Hope you guys can help out with some step-by-step tutorial or a pictorial tutorial will be fantastic. Thanks a lot.
Evening all,
I have been advised to post here on XDA from Android Forums. This is a copy of my initial post on there to explain the background to my issue.....
Hi there,
I have HTC Desire from O2 and after 12 hours of online searching and tweaking I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
I received the OTA upgrade yesterday which I accepted because I thought O2 might have it sorted by now. Obviously not. Anyway update ran with no interruption but then rebooted to a frozen O2 screen.
I searched the net and eventually found the guide to update the phone using the RUU Rom. I followed this to the letter and the installer for the RUU wouldnt't open. I then realised that Google Chrome hadn't fully downloaded the file (113mb not 171mb). I then used a download manager to ensure I had the full file. It then ran and seemed to be working... until 80% in when I get ERROR 110 File Open.... please use a complete RUU. I downloaded it several more times in various ways but still same result. By this point my phone was pretty much bricked.
I had black screen with silver HTC logo in the middle and 4 exclamation marks in the corners.... this remained whilst the phone was plugged in and the buttons in any combination did nothing. When i removed the USB cable i got a white boot screen with RUU highlighted in orange and again.... buttons do nothing. Every time I ran the RUU file it brought up a green bar as if it was making progress but then errors at the same point every time. (Error 110 use complete RUU... file seems to be complete now at 171mb)
I tried it on two computers, one win7 and the other vista. The vista machine doesn't even see the phone, it gives a USB error before the update begins.
At 2am I used the SDK download and typed the following at command prompt.... "fastboot oem boot".... phone instantly boots into O2 Froyo and works fine. If i then unplug the phone, turn it off and on again.... i get the black HTC screen again, back to square one.
At the moment I have fastbooted it so its working and have used the goldcard tool to obtain the CID and created the .img file.
I don't know what to do from here!!.... the update obviously hasn't FULLY worked but it must have completed enough for the thing to fastboot and seems to have full functionality (calls, wireless, network etc)
I don't really want to void the warranty but O2's only option is to send it off for 14 days to have an engineer tell me its buggered and send a replacement.
Any advice is appreciated.
Rich.
A couple of helpful guys on there have tried to advise me but without success. They suggested rooting etc but here is my problem.....
At the moment the phone seems to be working fine with Froyo... but the only way I can get my phone to start up is by plugging in and running "fastboot oem boot" from command prompt. If my phone is powered off and I turn it on in the normal way, I get the black screen with silver 'HTC' and triangles in 4 corners and all buttons do nothing!
I have tried fastboot command whilst holding down the volume keys etc and it just boots normally. Obviously something isn't right and I can't let my battery run down otherwise its useless until I can fastboot it again.
So this is preventing me from accessing any of the menu's required in the flash/root tutorials.
Can anyone help or do I just need to ensure I don't run the battery down?!?
Thanks in advance
Rich
if you have a goldcard already, have you tried flashing a diffrent ruu from fastboot? maybe just a generic htc one rather than the o2 one?
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Could you advise me which RUU would be the best to use?
I have looked through the list on shipped-roms website but apart from the obvious O2 ones, I don't understand which ones are which!
Thanks
Rich
Hi Rich,
I have exactly the same problem. Have you got any feedback about whether you have solved this issue?
Thanks!
Kelk
Edit:
I think I may have got it sorted. Downgrade to 2.1 as per:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
(replace xx to tt in link above)
Hi there,
I haven't solved my issue yet. At the moment I am using my phone on 2.2 but trying not let the battery run flat (I have to use fastboot from command prompt to get my phone to boot up)
Did the tutorial above work for you?
My issue is getting a working goldcard. I'm not sure whether mine has worked succesfully because when i've tried running the RUU of either the unbranded froyo update or even the O2 original, i get and error message and it doesn't work.
I followed the goldcard creation tutorial but I still get the CID error when trying to run the various RUU files.
I hope I can sort this soon because i've been close to throwing my phone out of the window several times!!
Cheers
Rich
Hi Rich,
Yes, the above tutorial worked for me. I think this is because it downgrades to a former version of HBOOT.

Use Goldcard + your shipped o2 ROM (ROM that came originally with ur phone 1st time). you can get the rom from HTC official website. enter your Serial Number t download (i recommend using Mozilla built in download manager, coz Google Chrome always give me Corrupted Download when downloading Large files)
Hello everyone,
That's my problem:
almost a year since I turned in different custom rom, which had never caused any problems. Then my screen started to lose its sensitivity, or even move all alone. So I recommend it as everywhere trying to return to the origin.
I am currently in the 2.1 HTC last updated.
The screen is much better. But I want to return to 1.5, to really be sure I completely reset.
And that's where the trouble begins. Unable to install the HTC RUU, always the same error (Error 170: bad version of bootloader), whereas it normally means a problem with drivers. I checked several times these drivers, be it XP or Win 7 64. Always the same message.
And then I fell in that you (really sorry) I had completely forgotten. So I tried to follow the tutorial "How to restore the firmware of the HTC hero.
There can not run the commands, I put: "Into rebooting bootloader ... FAILED <remote: allow> not verbatim or 'downloading' boot.img '... FAILED <remote: not allow>
And I do not see what I could do differ between the two responses.
I'm starting to believe I'm even more noob than I thought.
I guess the question has to be asked of you, but then it starts making long as I want and I can not find.
I see no reason why it does not work because he sees in fastboot My phone devices.
Does anyone have an idea for the method I should follow or tell me why this command does not work. (Although for lines order Now began with the first root of my phone, then virtually unknown).
If there is already a topic or a wiki, thank you for giving me the links if possible.
Counting on a pretty fast response from you all.
In advance thank you for the help you can give me.
PS: sorry for the novel, but I think I managed to summarize all the parameters of my worries.
PS: I think I have tried all methods so far found only one positive is that I'm sure my drivers, still appears in them because MyHTC, it is in bootloader or in sync.
Sorry for my bad english but it's a traduction for google.
