I just tried to upgrade my MDA Compact from German ROM to English ROM. Downloaded the latest O2 Asia English ROM from FTP, then used NoID EXE to upgrade.
After step 1 of upgrading Radio was completed, error message 'EXTROM Upgrade Error' raised, then, the MDA only stayed in Bootloader. No matter matter how many times I re-tried, it failed before step 2 of upgrading the Extended ROM.
I tried SD Card Flashing method. But it was no way to read the ROM (with using Romupdate.exe) successfully.
Anybody could help? Really need your advice. Thanks!
Be sure your battery is fully loaded. I think, that was my problem when I tried to upgrade. During bootloader mode, your Magician will NOT charge through the USB Cable.

I used a fully charged battery (charged by another MDA) for upgrade. Problem still existed. Any further suggestion? Thanks!
Nope, maybe you can try another ROM?
BTW.Did you charge it between creating your ROM backup and your upgrade? Cause creating a backup also cost battery power, and if you don't charge between the failures, your battery will also be drained. I finally let my battery charge for about 1,5 hours on the normal adapter and after that mine did work. But like I said, maybe you should try a different ROM.
I tried several different ROMs, but failed again and again. Even using SD flashing method, error of 'Download Fail' occurred after pressing Power button to try to load the ROM image from the prepared SD card.
Any help there? Is my MDA totally dead?
I tried at least 5 different language ROMs, but failed all the time.
Seems there is no way out.
Hic ! I have the same error, so my XDA mini dead too ! hic
anybody can help me ??
Hmm. The one thing I can think of is that seems to happen if you try flashing a device *with the SIM card still inside*. Take out the sim card - heck, take out the memory card as well, unless you're using *that* to flash, and try again.
Funnily enough, I didn't run into this problem while I was on my old Mini, both original ROMs and BigStorage - but I see this quite often when trying to flash my Atom (message "Extended Rom Format Fail").
What I did was to ensure everything 'cept the battery was out, and to keep on trying until it goes right past flashing 6% of the extROM. >_>
(BTW: if you can find it, and don't mind having to go CAB hunting, go BigStorage. IIRC you'll skip the extROM bit. Eheh.)

I have an unlocked 2125 on the T-mobile network. I upgraded it to WM6, there was no problem. I then decided to go with a different ROM so I flashed it to that one. Now my phone shuts off whenever I try to make a phone call or when i'm in the middle of something, if I reboot it, it will just shut off again. It is getting charged long enough. I Don't know what the problem is, but once I take out the SIM it powers on just fine.
Any insight will be appreciated.
Try to format BINFS and start everything all over again
I did try this, didn't work. The phone still shuts off. Decided to try it again, now it just shuts off when I try to go into the bootloader.
Assuming it's the battery now.
Dude, flashing when the battery is low is very dangerous

Which ROM did you use? Did you upgrade the GSM/SPL as well?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321665
Used this one. Didn't realize it was dangerous btw, but I didnt flash when it was low. Yeah I upgraded the GSM
It is a dangerous procedure if you do not know what you're doing. Andot's PEE is a very old version. I'd suggest to install vjgrace's latest ROM (v3.3).
ok, but I dont think the battery is getting a charge >< wont stay on for long
Hi All,
It had been a long time that i have been trying to solve the 'No GSM' problem.
My device is O2 xda Exec, but strangely it started to show no sim card and then showing No GSM on the boot screen.
I had tried various ROMS by our friends, but no one is able to sort out this problem. Now i am really tired of it.
If anyone can help, knows any method to sort this out, any clues, i will be very happy.
i have the same problem.....
i had flash several rom's, but i cant flash radio rom as i show in this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457873
Try flashing back to the original factory ROM pack, it comes with everything in one upgrade package, so it will flash your ROM, Radio and Extended ROM at once. Trying cooked ROMs will not solve it, simply because they don't come with Radio as a general rule, so if you are missing a Radio, flashing a developed ROM will not add one.
Alternatively, of course, it may indicate problems with your main board that simply no longer reads your SIM.
i don't know the original rom version of it.
i had tried 2 original Imate WWE roms and it stucks at 0% at flashing radio rom. i instead it, i flash the rom and extrom separately several times, with severak versions, and the only problem is flashing the radio rom.
the device works properly, except GSM. the wifi and BT turns on and off. (no other devices to have comunicate)
i tried also sim "unlock" (it is already unlocked from factory) and i have the "success" message, then tried to flash radio rom, but unsuccessful.
then i did a rom backup from other device (Orange SPVM500 brand) to sd card and then restore to Jasjam, but shows "error ID"
then, i tried to backup the entire rom from itself to SD and restore it again, but the commands seems to not work.
then a did a upgrade bootloader (because it stucked at bootloader) even using UNI_bootloader EXIT.exe
i have no more ideas, then have it a large hammer!

SIM is due for replacement?
i tried 2 sim card's from 2 different operators.
actually it is without sim card, but shows the "NO GSM" at start up.
on past Saturday, my other pda (old HTC BLUEANGEL) had a freeze on receiving a call (i must reset it 4 times) then i made a call and nothing happened after that.
very strange.
i tried also backup a rom from the device to sd card and shows me an error (error = FF) on mtty1[1].42
i do the operation successfully on my other htc.
i read that sometimes take out and plug in the batery several times, works...
mine dont.
Try this it worked for me.....
Most of the ROM you update only have the nk.nbf (OS ROM) but don't have ms_.nbf (Extended ROM), radio_.nbf (Radio ROM). so you should upgraded the radio_.nbf manually.. and the problem should me solved..... so simply download any new Radio version in my case 1.17.XX and copy the file radio_.nbf (Radio ROM) in to the ROM update folder . Enter boot screen and update... the problem should be solved.... have a look at following link as welll... might be helpful...

I too have the "NO GSM" issue, and have noticed that most cases are associated with the o2 Exec; as is mine. I'm also missing my IMEI in 'device information'. I think the issue may have something to do with the CID lock originally found in the o2 Exec. I too have tried almost anything and have heard the original ROM is the only way back (which I don't have). However, I believe that an SD upload/download of a radio ROM may be a possible solution. The trick is getting the 'header' of the "to be downloaded" radio ROM to match up with the device. This is where I'd left off on trying to fix my device...I don't know how to edit the ROM's header and save, so that I may download via SD card...any help would be much appreciated...
Its a HW problem...
what do you mean by sd upload/download of rom ????

You can find more information in the forum adout downloading by SD card. Tomal has an SD ROM tool; or you could try the service manual...Either way, I cannot seem to get an SD download to work because of a fixed CID lock; this was confirmed through MTTY. However, I believe if I clone the header (acceptable to the device) into the "new" radio ROM; my device should be able to update. If it doesn't, I feel I could then confidently believe that the issue is in the hardware...'til then...
Can anyone out there help me with this, PLEASE!!!
So try unlockind your device to make it SuperCID

I previously loaded 3.29.xTep_3.00 with hardspl 3.05. It's been running fine, but I wanted to try some different ROMs so downloaded several. None will work. No other versions of hardspl either. no radio upgrades/downgrades either. Everything is fine until I get to the gray load screen with the % of progress. It gets to 1% then bails. PC returns "ERROR [270]: UPDATE ERROR The Image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility." I have tried on 3 different PCs, reformatted flash drive and internal storage, removed all cards.. not sure what else to do. Can't find directions anywhere for MicroSD flash for the x7510 or i'd try it. Only thing odd about my device, besides this, is that the GPS stopped connecting to satellites several months ago (another bummer). Any ideas?
I got this result when I just removed the minisd card and didn't remove the cardadapter. Once I had removed the adapter everything was fine but you have probably done this so... I don't know what to tell you. Second time I flashed I remembered the procedure wrongly and I kept putting the phone into bootloader mode before I flashed I ofcourse got the same lack of result then, once I flashed from windows not bootloader everything was fine.
Thanks teacher1960, I have made sure all cards/sleeves/sims etc are out. Not loading from boot-loader, etc. Sadly, just screwed I guess, when it comes to ROM experimenting. The ROM currently running is the best of all i've tried, so my heart is a-pining, but not destroyed. If anyone knows how to boot from an SD card (I have a 2 MB non-SDHC card that I used to flash my TYTN2 with) I would love to know the steps. Thanks again.
I would try to SPL back to stock-SPL and then start all over again.
As being explained here.

Greetings,
i have the x7510 for more than 2 years, may be since i joined xda-developers and since that time i have been trying to upgrade it from 6.1 to any given cooked room. i have tried your roms several times but each time it ends with error. every thing goes smooth till it reaches the tri-color where it shows spl 3.05.0000 then screen goes wight with 1% only then it reboots and on the desktop it gives the following message:
ERROR 270: UPDATE ERROR
the file is corrupted, please check the update file
i remeber i posted several times with no reply
would you please help me to solve this problem, please
I have an Qtek S100 and according to the imei check its an o2 rom.
After a long time i decided to use my qtek again just for fun and see what i can do with it.
In windows 2003se it keeps giving low battery although its connected to usb, anyway i decided to give it a go and installed wwe05 but totally forgot about the radio rom that needed to be 1.12. (it was 1.13).
So it gave "bad radio" during startup.
I tried to flash it with multiple radio roms, including the original o2 one, but some dont start at all and some keep getting stuck at 45%.
and eventually give error 114, i can flash it back to original rom, but as soon as i want to update the radio, same thing happens.
now it gives "no radio" in wwe05, and after flashing back to 2003se it says "no gsm".
the radio wasn't giving any error/problem before i decided to update the os, so i doubt it's an hardware issue. i checked mutiple threads about 114 radio, but haven't found a sollution yet.
maybe somebody here can help me get my radio back.
You should read this Thread first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705702. Maybe there is the Solution.
i tried them all with normal usb flash, they all stop at 45% and give error 114.
Next Idea is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494635&page=2
Dont use a USB HUb !
k, i charged battery as long as possible, (althought i think its nearly dead) it now shows 100%.
I'm also using a different system now with windows 7,, when trying to flash it doesn't give an error, but after a few seconds its shows "congratulations", but it hasn't done a thing....
i can only try a windows xp in vmware, will try next first.
nvm, tried multiple roms, guess one of them changed my bl, cause its showed version 1.5.0 when its needs to be 1.00 or 1.02, so i tried to update my bootloader with pnewbootloader and version 1.02.nb0 and it resulted in an error ITFlashRom and never came back to the living. no boot no bootloader. paperweight is going in the bin. topic can be closed.
I'm stuck and I need your help!
My HTC Mozart does not anymore get a battery charge since I did the following: 1. Gold card method to downgrade the bootloader, 2. Applied RSPL & HSPL, 3. Flashed a custom ROM (Nextgen)
It's really weird, it won't anymore charge. I of course tried several cables and chargers, as well as other phones. It will only charge when the phone is switched off, that is for a few seconds before it switches on again. I tried a hard reset, also flashed another custom rom; the only way it works again is when I flash an official rom
If you got a clue, please let me know, as it's quite desperate.
One thing I found strange during the gold card downgrade: I forgot to patch the rom. Still, all the steps went on successfully, so I don't see how this could cause the issue I now have with the charging.
Thanks!
Tried again and again. Phone charges well with official ROMs, but not with custom ROMs.
What can it be, anyone..?
