Dear members
I was really very desperate to try my hands on ROM upgrading since I got my Atom life. But inspite of all ROM being available here I am not able to upgrade my ROM because it has to be done through mini-sd. I don't know whats going wrong but here are the issues I have faced:
1.I am not able to get the Record+Reset working on my Atom life.
2.I have found somewhere in this forum that 2gb minisd does work. is this correct?
3.Can there be any alternative way to get this device upgraded like we use to do in HTC devices.
I wish to know from all the users if they are having answers for these questions.
This is a must have for a thread for Atom, but couldn't find any dedicated solution to this procedure of upgrade.
Hope to get some solution soon.

What you see above were the most expected questions of a newbie to ROM upgrading in O2 Atom Life[O2 comet]
Here is the most simple guide in upgrading the device. This is based on my personal experience so any deviation ca be expected in case you do it yourself. But most of the steps are just ubiquitous in case of any attempt at upgrading the ROM in Atom Life[O2 comet]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:
Formatting card & setting the file type to fat16 or fat on your PC or with the help of any pocket pc application.
Then you need to copy the file[xxx.DIO] on your memory card[not in any folder] Just reset the device pressing record[in right middle side] along with stylus in the softreset hole[in the left botton side]
Take Stylus out first & then keep pressing the record button until black screen with minisd detect appears.
Thats it. Now it will start installing the ROM from the memory card.
Things to remember:
1.get 1gb or less card[2gb won't do at times]
2.Format it in windows or in your ppc in either fat or fat16 format[don't do fat 32 it won't work]
3.Copy the file on the memory card[not to any folder in it]
Hope the guide will help you & you will have no problems in updating the phone reply if there is any problem.

Hi guy, can only adv you the pt(1) + (2)...
1.I am not able to get the Record+Reset working on my Atom life: You must Press Record + Reset, leave Reset first.
2.I have found somewhere in this forum that 2gb minisd does work. is this correct: Yes, I always use 2G SD to up ROM (make sure there's no any file in SD excepted AL1.DIO)
Good luck!
I didn't get you my friend. plz be more clearer.
1. Press Record + Reset, then leave Reset first but still keep pressing Record. AL will be in Bootloader mode for yr up ROM by SD.
2. For up ROM by SD, I always use 2G SD to up ROM (make sure there's no any file in SD excepted AL1.DIO).
3. AL can support 4G SD w/o no any problem, not yet test for 8G SD.

2G cards never worked for me. I use a 512M card for flashing. Without RUU u can't flash a custom ROM.
but maniac i have seen you claiming that 2gb card does work. thats whar made me confused.thanx allover..anybody tried 8gb on life with minisd adaptor.

naah. i dont think I have ever mentioned that before. If I have, then its by mistake. My bad then.
@Maniac, Don't bother brother. May be it could have been because of some mistake or may be in some other context.
Anybody tried 8gb microsd with minisd adaptor. Actually I wish to post results myself but the problem is that its not available in my city so have to order from ebay so a bit reluctant if it doesn't work.
Thanks & Regards

My suggestion. Keep a smaller mini SD for flashing and a higher capacity card for other purposes. From my personal experience of using a 4GB card. Read is quite slow at times. It could also give issues while booting if you install applications on memory card.
I think I have no other option but to buy one. Hope it won't turned out to be a bad deal.
@maniac, bro why you have this slow reading problem when I don't imagine this can be there in such a high model PPC.
Moreover let me confirm everybody once again that the 2gb minisd won't work for ROM upgradation but 1gb does work like charm so try it w/o any doubts. It is confirmed as I have experimented with few of the phones.
I don't know if this may help you:

Speed of the processor has got nothing to do with the SD card reading speed. It all depends on the card driver. My 4 GB is a pain at times.

Can you help please?. My rw6815 after upgrading to wm6.1 of Biohazard cable / pc is total block. Before I left the blue screen of Biohazard. Today, after many restarts I managed to bring up the black screen with writing "Device clean boot ...... reset to factory default !!"""". I attacked the usb to PC for power and possible connections to the PC . But an hour has not changed and the computer screen does not acknowledge it. What do I do ????? Greetings Raphael.

Oh Poor dib,
Mate this handset seems to me is identical to O2 Atom phone. So its better if you just check out a similar thread catering to Atom users. Try Wiki if it can help. We are users of Atom life which is not the phone which you are asking about. I could have helped you had it been an HTC phone which I used for long time. But this is my first O2 phone so can't help much. Hope someone knows about this problem comes out with its solution. Good luck brother.

Just out of curiosity, do you have an external storage card inserted?
I inserted a 1gb miniSD from FAT32.
I think you have not followed the instructions carefully. Follow the instructions by formatting card & setting the file type to fat16 or fat on your PC or with the help of any pocket pc application. Then you need to copy the file[xxx.DIO] on your memory card[not in any folder] Just reset the device pressing record[in right middle side] along with stylus in the softreset hole[in the left botton side]

Hi guys,
I need some serious help here. Today I tried to upgrade my MDA II with the latest 1.60 ROM. Somehow during the upgrade something went wrong and my computer frooze and needed a reset. This was in the beginning 10 minutes of the ROM upgrade and my the screen of my PPC went off. After the reboot of my workstation I could not get my MDA II to connect to my workstation. The MDA is completely useless now. The only thing I have on the screen is:
Serial (or USB) on top of the screen (with no backlight) and at the bottem of the screen Version 1.01.
I can't soft reset of hard reset. I took the battery out and waited for almost 30 minutes but I still can't turn the thing on nor can I soft or hard reset. I can't thing of anything else that I can do and I just sold my Loox yesterday so now I'm lost!
Anybody with a good suggestion??
Please help.

I think it's a way to use a SD-card with a Rom on it.
Looks like Your bootloader is still working and can reflash a rom to Your device.
Now You have to find somone with an 64MB SD-card to put a rom on it and reflash Your device.
With best regards
Jens
Hi Jens,
I think my bootloader is not working anymore. I tried to do a hard reset a dozen times but the bootloader menu doesn't come up. But thanks for suggesting though.
Wouter
Hi wouterk,
I don't know if this would be of any help, but you've got nothing to lose now.
I've got a similar error that the RUU program asked me to remove my XDA II from the cradle and right after that, the XDA II screen freeze at "Seria 1.01", same as yours.
So I put my XDA II back to the cradle and from my PC, I clicked Control Panel > System > Device Manager > and here my XDA II was recognized as an unknown device, so I updated the MS USB Sync driver.
After the driver update, I rerun the RUU and the ROM upgrade went fine. Now I have my XDA II back alive and kickin' with the new MDA ROM. At least this works for mine and hope it would also work for yours as well.
HTH.
Hi Joparp,
Of course I gave your suggestion a try. But too bad it didn't work for me like that :? . I remebered that when my workstation crashed, after the reboot it found a new USB device (my cradle?) but I couldn't get your sollution to work for me. But I still have hopes. Tomorrow evening I'll meet a guy who can fix my problem (keep my fingers crossed....). So I feel reasonable relaxed now.
It is nice to see that so many people responded to my problem. I posted my problem on three different sites and many people responded. That was a nice feeling! I keep this thread posted about the result of tomorrow.
B.t.w did you install the 1.60 ROM eventually?
Wouter
Hello wouterk
well, i'm sorry about this and i guess the safest way to do ROM update thru SD Card.
i do agree with jenson suggestion and i can't see any other way to resolve this problem which i hope will work here are the steps as follows :-
ask any one who has MDA II device, 64MB SD Card and SD Card reader to backup his/her ROM and Post it for you somewhere where you can download it and write it to SD Card.
ofcourse he/she if using Windows will need serial cable and hyper terminal software which normally can be fount under start/programs/Accessories/Communication otherwise download from http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/index.html
get the device into Bootloader Mode ( power button+any direction+reset )
Connected via Serial cable and use these setting 115200 baud, 8n1, direct to com1 port or maybe com2 it depends on which port they use
type d2s command to backup ROM to SD Card which i recommend 64MB SD card formatted and when done you will see something look like this
D:Waiting for card insert.........
SDetected one card
SD:ready for transfer OK
Total card size=3D40000ze=0
SDCARDD2S+,cStoragePlatformType=FF
********************************************************************************
***********************************************
Store image to SD/MMC card successful.
SER>
then reset the device and get SD card reader and insert this card into the reader and use ntrw image reading and writing tool
if you don't have it you can download it from here http://www.tamiminet.com/othman/ntrw.exe
from the command line run ntrw read MDAII.nb1 E:
This assumes your SD card reader has drive letter E:
now you will have new file which is MDAII.nb1 it's about the size of the SD card zip it and post it somewhere so he/she can Download it and unzip it then write it back to SD Card using this command b]ntrw write MDAII.nb1 E:[/b]
again this assumes your SD card reader has drive letter E:
when done go into bootloader mode ( power button+reset ) with SD card inserted, hit camera button and flash your device with rom which is on SD Card
if you don't have serial cable you still can do it using Linux with cardle and thanks for bio and few other cool guys who mentioned this hints on other thread
put your device in bootloader mode
connect via cradle
use any terminal (minicom) to connect to the used port (/dev/ttyUSB0)
- you should see something like 'USB>' or 'SER>'
put an SD Card into device
type d2s on command prompt
wait untill you see Store image to SD/MMC card successful
i don't think this will include the Applications on the Extended ROM but no problem this can be done later.
i hope this could help to get back you device to life.
best regards and good luck.

Hi guys,
Thanks to Akira my MDA II is working again. Everything is working again exept for the bluetooth communication with my Emtac bluetooth GPS. That problem still remains in my case. I even did another hard reset but still the same problem. I then put the Towa fix again on it and now I can use my GPS again.
So thank you all guys!

Hello all,
My XDA 1 has a fault I don't understand. When I hit the Power on button it comes on and stops at the O2 splash screen. It will not go beyond this point no matter what I try. The desktop does not recognise the device when I connect via USB. I have tried:
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. booting up in bootloader and running all device tests (failed USB rx & Infrared rx)
4. In bootloader copying boot to SD and booting with that. (Unfortunately I do not currently have an SD card large enough to copy CE or GSM boot)
What I really need to know is if I can try to upgrade the device (to WM2003) anyway and if the upgrade will solve the problem I have now.
DEVICE DETAILS:
Device: O2 xda 1
Bootloader: 5.14
ROM: 4.01
Radio: 3.02
Any and all advice/help/replies most welcome. Sorry if this has been answered previously but I searched and couldn't find the info I needed.
Thanks,
Aide
It's a lost cause...
Device can't connect to activesync via serial or USB so I can't upgrade and see if that solves it. Don't have card reader to try SD method. The problem is as described in my first post above.
I don't know how this happened (I hadn't tried upgrading or any sort of flashing apart from unlocking the device a looooong time ago).
Any ideas as to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Aide
Your ROM version is not known (at least for me ) ... are you sure it's not 4.01.00 ??
Anyway, regardless of the reason, the good news is that you still have the boot loader working, the bad new is that you MUST use the SD method since the ActiveSync doesn't recognize the device.
Thanks Bis,
Yes ROM is 4.01.00 (sorry if I confused anyone ). Problem is at a new level.
I got an XDA with a cracked screen (so it's almost impossible to use though everything works) and used that with XDAtools (thanks Jeff) to upgrade to xda-dev Special Rom 1.2.
I copied the ROM to the 32MB SD card (got and error message at the end) but still risked using it to try bootloader method on the 'hanging xda. It worked: kinda :?
It now boots and hangs at the xda-dev splash screen and no other changes to original problem. Was that error message I saw responsible or could something hardware related have happened?
Still waiting for relief...Help me please. Someone, anyone...

That's your problem - redo everything above - but using a 64MB SD Card or higher. The ROM files are just over 32MB. Even if your card said it was all there chances are it could have been corrupt.
-JB
Thanks JB,
Getting 128MB card in the morning, will let all know how it went.
Aide
PS: Noticed someone posted same initial problem under topic 'XDA 1 locked on O2 screen' in General forum with no solution posted. So if anyone is interested - watch this space!
Ahhhh... God is in his heaven and all is right with the world
Used 128MB card and it worked like a charm. One thing I noted though: After I used XDAtools to copy ROM to the SD card and put it in the device it would not boot from the card automatically. I assume the ROM update tool on the device checks to see if the current ROM and the one on the SD card are the same and ignores the SD card if they are. (By the way, could someone please confirm if this is so? Idle curiosity :wink: )
I had to use the tool on the device to write the ROM to SD from one device and then the other device (that had the hanging problem) finally read that copy.
Thanks all,
Aide
some boot loder versions doesn't recognize ROM file on SD cards ... ex: 5.22

It may be old but it still works great.
It might be old but i like it. It doesn't hang and all my 3rd party apps work flawlessly even TOMTOM 7.
What ROM would you suggest?
At the moment I'm using REVROM Lite. I changed the flash screens though as I like some others better. I also use Tomtom 7 though I have it installed on my sd card and just send a shortcut to windows startmenu folder. Have no probs whatsoever.
Its really fast and seems to be stable with me NOT having to soft reset at all for the last 2 days... You gotta admit thats pretty decent performance, I've also had no HR's or freezes. Could just be I've finally found the rom and setup that is good for me...
Cheers...
Yeh, i hear ya. I actually flashed two other ROMS on my phone tonight just to see what they were like, but i'm going back to schaps. It was stable and it seemed to give good battery life. I have all my 3rd party apps installed to my 8GB SD card to save space on my phone. Seems to work for me. Thanks for your input. Two heads are better than one unless one of them is a goathead. LOL Anyway thanks again.
Have been having similar problems upgrading my HTC TyTN from its official WM5 to the Official release of WM6. Every ROmor upgrade or program I have used has failed once it has switced the phone into bootloader mode even using Hard-SPL. Ive being crazy trying to find a solution. Hasnt help that Ive had enough trouble getting started thanks to using Vista-64bit and its driver signing problems. I have since sorted that problem and am now not getting any further with flashing the ROM.
I wouldnt class my self as an expert but I also would consider myself a novice as I build PC's and have flashed both my Xbox 360 and my PSP so am used to working in the shady underworld.
Vista Home premium
Ok here's what i've found with vista. I run AVG anti virus and spybot search and destroy on my laptop. When i use my laptop to flash a rom to my phone i have to turn both off. Even then when i flashed to the OEM cingular rom i had to put my phone in bootloader for it to flash. If i let the program put it into bootloader it wouldn't work. Now, when i flashed to shcaps and my preferred radio rom it worked fine as long as advanced network funtionality WAS checked. Before i found these fixes though i used the SD flash method which is in my opinion the best way to go since it is so simple. That is the way i flashed my Axim X51V so i was familiar with that method, i just had to figure out the correct procedure for the phone.
This is from the post that explains SD flash.
1. download hardspl v7 from the first post.
2. extract ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to HERMIMG.nbh
3. copy it to a microsd card, make sure the card is formatted as fat32
4. download sspl-herm from here
5. extract SSPL-HERM.exe and copy it to your phone.
6. insert sd card and run sspl-herm.exe on the phone.
7. you should see the tri-color screen and then it should change to this
8. press power button to start flashing
9. reset when you get the msg that its done
Good luck
OH and if you need the official Cingular WM6 ROM you can download it here.
If you have Hard SPL installed ignore the steps using SSPL.exe as that is Soft SPL. It's not as safe as Hard SPL.
Cheers...
PS. make sure you use a 2Gb or less sd card as the bootloader won't recognise sdhc cards, format FAT32 (most cards are default formatted FAT) & make sure of your spelling as it won't work otherwise - hermimg.nbh.

At least tell us you Hard SPLed your Hermes, look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722

Go to page 116,post 1160 of thread I gave you. It tells you how to install Hard SPL with the sd card.
Just remember, the sd card MUST be 2Gb or less, it has to formatted FAT32 and the spelling of hermimg.nbh is VERY important.

Just Did my phone for the first time
Go to this link first and make sure your phone has the latest version installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Follow the sets it's easy enough
After you soft reset your phone
That being done you'r now ready to flash a new rom there are plenty on the hermes windows mobile 6 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
I found this rom to be the most like the one on the u-tube video
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461490
Down load the rom, extract the files
rename the ruu_sgned file to "Hermimg"
Now put a micro SD memory card in a card reader
open my computer right click the drive that represents the memory card and format it
choose the fat 32 file system.
now copy the hermimg fie to the root of the card
soft boot your phone
press the power button to comfirm the rom update and watch the progress bar
when complete
reset your phone and the new software will install
if you get a new soft ware installed do you want to reset pick no
the phone will reset when all the software is installed.
great stuff
try a few rom
find the one you like best
sry but you will need to put that card in your phone after you copy hermimg onto it
maybe you should go to the how to unbrick my phone thread
didn,t see that last post
ouch!!

Alright, I'm pretty new to this whole forum so I'll just cut to the chase.
Not sure if this is the right section but here it goes:
I have an i-Mate JAMin with Windows Mobile Version 5.0 OS 5.1.70,
I'm looking to update it to Windows Mobile 6 as I hear it gives better performance and uses less battery. So what would be the best way of doing this? No idea where to start frankly as I don't want to brick the phone or screw it up. If someone could lead me in the right direction that would be great . I also just went to install ActiveSync on my computer today as the phone kept saying I needed it but apparently ActiveSync on Windows Vista is: Windows Mobile Device Center so I have that installed now if that helps.
Thanks.
Oh and another question a bit off this thread topic is I'm looking to purchase a memory card, Apparently this phone only supports up to 2gb sd card memory.. Though I've heard people using 4gb and 8gb Sd cards in there JAMin phones...
PLEASE first read the first topic before "cutting to the chase" and then write about problems with understanding all in the same topic
but anyways whats doe is done so shortly you can get a flash program like lazytools
but i you want to do it yourself youll have to plug your ppc in the computer, download hspl ,a program for your ppc which will turn your display white, and then run your flash program from your pc follow the steps and wait 10 mins
and every reflash will need you t flash back to original wm5 rom
for more questions search other topics or the wiki page

No idea where to start frankly as I don't want to brick the phone or screw it up. If someone could lead me in the right direction that would be great . I also just went to install ActiveSync on my computer today as the phone kept saying I needed it but apparently ActiveSync on Windows Vista is: Windows Mobile Device Center so I have that installed now if that helps.
Thanks.
Oh and another question a bit off this thread topic is I'm looking to purchase a memory card, Apparently this phone only supports up to 2gb sd card memory.. Though I've heard people using 4gb and 8gb Sd cards in there JAMin phones...
