Hi, I’m trying to upgrade my universal to WM6. Suddenly connection lost. Usually, the screen turns to blanks and I can hard reset my Universal. Now, my screen totally blank, when I push the hard rest button, the screen turn to white with normal instruction to reset to default when I press “)” button. The problem is after I pushed “)” button, the screen turn back to blank again. Please help me, what should I do?? Help,help,help…
Try resetting the pda to its factory state (when you first purchased it). I think there are certain sections on here which allow you to download the factory ROM. If that fails, try downloading it from the xda website dedicated to o2 users. Do a search in goole for o2 xda Exec updated rom.
Once you have done all of that try re-installing the Rom that you are trying to update it with.
Should work. I sort of had the same problem before. You have to check your firmware too. Do a search on o2 xda exec firmware. I think some older firmwares do not allow you to upgrade.
Hope this helps.
Alternatively, do the following and this time, make sure the USB cable is plugged directly into the PC, and not through a hub.
Put the device into bootloader mode (hold the power and backlight buttons, and then push the reset pin) and you will see the screen say Serial, there will be no backlight, so don't worry. Plug it into your USB cable, and it should now say USB.
Wait about 10 seconds so your system can recognise, the device, and the run the update once more.
There's no need to flash back down to an earlier version provided the ROM image you downloaded is actually OK.
If you want serch my folder to download original O2 ROM

Hi user989, AlanJC and Optika. Thanks for your kind advise. Especially to AlanJC, I followed your instruction and now my XDA Exec back to normal again with WM6. Before I gave my XDA to O2 Service centre in Indonesia, they said that XDA Exec is for European market so the have no solution. Many thanks for all of you, may GOD bless you all.

Hi, All
I have HTC Tornado (Dopod 577W).
I have read topic about Hard Reset using "Clear Storage" app.
I am able to start Windows, can run Start menu, but I can't start any app from there. Therefore I can't run "Clear Storage" app.
Does anybody know how to make hard reset using buttons combination?
Thank you, prompt reply would be appreciated
Turn you phone off.
Press and hold the two softmeny buttons (those 2 placed to the left and right direct under the display) while you press on/off button for about 0.5 seconds. Make sure you still have the soft buttons pressed when release the on/off button.
After a few seconds a text will appear in the display telling you to press "0" (zero) to make an hard reset.
/Bladh
You should have seen the buttons presses needed to hard reset a HTC Wizard :lol: Had to hold 3 buttons while pressing the soft reset button :lol:
You could almost do it accidentally :lol:
Thanks to all
But probably I have very serious problem,
I tried to make soft-reset pressing 2 soft-buttons and shortly pressing Power, after that I saw black screen with message "press 0 ...". I pressed 0 but I saw just Operator Logo again (Dopod Enjoy Mobility). Device is hung again at Operator Logo
I tried several times but can't get success.
Does anybody know how to make it live again?
Thanks.

i'm using an imate SP5, i would just download the ROM from clubimate and flash the device.
Can you get a ROM updater from your telco's website ?
Thank you for your help.
There is no any update for Dopod. I have checked their site just week ago.
I have already found 2 another RUUs for HTC Tornado:
1. i-mate_SP5_RUS_1.5.332.1
2. Cingular 2125 Software Update
But I don't know if I may use them and not to harm my smartphone (I have Dopod 577W). Besides, these two updates are .exe-files and I need to install them via ActiveSync. But ActiveSync can't be enabled (because I can't load OS) therefore I unpacked them and I am going to load nk.nbf via TTY.
Will it work?

you can still install these updates through the bootloader. load up the 3color screen and as long as it says usb in the corner, the update package will find it and install without an activesync connection.
Thanks a lot Dave106!
It works! But it reports about bad vendor ID. As I know I need to change CID (CDL_xxxx).
Does anybody know CID for Dopod 577W?
Hi, I got my Qtek S200 aka Imate Jamin yesterday and I tried to do a ROM upgrade. I followed the instructions given in the website http://kimpeacocke.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-perform-rom-upgrade-on-your-i.html
I got the upgrade from this site at ftp://xda:[email protected]_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101.zip
I followed the procedure given in the website given above. After I upgraded successfully everything on the phone was wiped out. Since there was no instruction to backup the files, I did not do it. Now all that I see is a four colored screen saying RUU in the top right corner, IPL 2.09 in the top left corner and SPL 2.09 below it.
Does anyone know how to get my phone working again? Do I have to install all the applications including windows mobile 5.0?
If yes, please tell me where to get the softwares for the Qtek S200 and info on how to install it.
Thanks in advance.....
Hi julian_me.
If you are new at this ROM updating stuff, you should use official release by the OEM from their site. Those will warn you about full battery and the need to backup your data.
Now to your problem:
You do not need to reinstall WM5 as it is part of ROM. The screen you are seeing is the bootloader. You should soft reset using the reset hole (at the bottom of the device).
If you still don't get in to windows, you should try reflashing with an official ROM.
Hi there,
Thanks for the help. I tried the soft update. It didnt work. When I checked the Qteck S200 folder from my PC I dont see any folders. It just shows up blank. Would that be an issue? Where can I get the official download of the Qtek S200 rom update? Does that bring back all the folders and programs. Sorry to be bothering you with all my questions. I am new to the pocket pc.
It's no bother, but you might be in over your head.
1) The official ROM update should be available on the QTEK site.
2) Not 'soft update' - soft reset, it doesn't update anything, it just reboots the device. Strange that it still boots to bootloader. Are you sure no buttons are pressed while the device boots?
3) You won't see anything on your PC until the device is synchronized. For that it has to boot up properly, and it seems to be stuck in bootloader.
4) If you manage to download and flash the official ROM your problem should be solved, if not you may have to send your device to the lab for repairs.
Good luck.
I have had a similar issue I think...
When the ROM upgrade ahs finished sometimes you need to remove the cable before the software resets (there is a small note on the screen to this effect). For some reason this ballses up the restart.
As levenum said - always best to download the ROM from the official website, which should provide an adobe instruction sheet too.
Hi levenum,
I tried both the soft reset and hard reset. When I did the hard reset, I got the message "Press Send to restore factory default, Other keys to quit". I pressed the send button. I get Format FAT partition. etc. When I powerup, I get the "Qtek" screen and then it goes to the bootloader screen and it gets stuck there. Any ideas??
Thanks,
Julian
cable
Have you removed the cable after the reboot?!
Yes, I did remove the cable. I also tried to reflash using the official ROM update. When I run the exe file, all that happens is that a window opens and then closes. Nothing happens after that.
re: Q-tek probs
The only time I have encountered this problem (and I have had XDA 1, II, IIi, IIs and an EXEC) is when something has been running or trying to run on the PDA as the upgrade has gone through.
If, as you say, once the download has completed you have removed the USB cable (before the reset), and no buttons are currently pressed then I do not know why the ROM isn't re-booting.
My only remaining advise would be to contact the vendor of the device and show them the problem you are having.
Re: re: Q-tek probs
I had the same issue when trying to upgrade my ROM. For some reason I were not able to use any pdamobiz ROM. I successfully switched from FR to EN using that ROM :
RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
Now it just works fine !
hello,
I've tried to install skype ona my cingular 2125 and now it doesn't work.
the phone just stuck on .cab extractin screen and i restart it.now the only thing it show is the cingular startup screen and that's all.I have the cingular rom update uttility but it says that the device is not connected to the pc using usb,and ask me to check the connection.
what i can do about this issue?can anyone help me?
thank you in advance
Try turning off USB connection in activesync. With the phone turned off, if you hold the camera button when you plugin the usb to phone (already connected to PC), it should start up in the bootloader.
Other method to get the bootloader is to hold the camera and the comm manager button and turn on the phone.
You should be able to use the ROM update utility with the bootloader.
Look at Karhoe's guide in the stickies at the top of this forum...
Maybe hard reset will be enough ?
Turn off Your phone. Press and keep hold of both soft keys, press the power button for approximately 0.5 to 1 second, phone will ask U if U are sure, press 0.
hard reset is a lot safer than reflash...
i can't believe
thank you for all the advises but unfortunateli non of them helps.I've trie everything and it still shows cingular's wellcome screen and that is all.after that the only thing i can do is to remove the battery because nothing else work.I put the original rom from cingular and everything was OK with the setup, but after that -the same.I've tried with this hard reset- the same.probbably the nezt thing that i will do is to hit it into the ground )

Missunderstanding here
Our goal was making Your phone alife again.
None of mentionated procedures could help with some unknown to us bug in Your version of 3-rd party software
The latest skype works perfectly for me, in WM5 and WM6, since you are going to hard reset, why not perform a WM6 upgrade?
re
I was tried to reflash with the original aku2 rom from htc/cingular (the flash was successfull)but after that the phone is still not working.allways the same- cingular's startup screen and that's all.also try with hard reset with no success.I doubt that this phone will ever work again.or if there is another way to "clean" the whole memory?!is it possible to hardware reset the phone?
Format BINFS and reflash, that will clean everything except the IPL and SPL
Hi, help please...
I have Wizard G3 with TNT 5 Touch Flow and tried to update radio T-mobile UK 2.19 Radio Only. update went OK but now on loading I see HTC boot screen then it moves to TNT 5.0 screen and then fades in two minutes and starts back with HTC boot screen. It then circulates like that for ever without passing to the Today screen. On connection with PC for new update with any rom it shows: Error (260) update error. What can be done?

it's a case of bad flash,did anything during flash happened like lose usb connectivity,pc crashed,battery discharged or something like unusual ?
Try to soft reset and see if it works,otherwise you'll have to reflash to official carrier's rom in boodloader mode,
1. Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,shut down any firewall,disable any Anti virus,Reboot your PC.
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. On your PC Open windows Task Manager...>Tab Processes...>wescomm.exe...>End process
4. Power off the phone completely (Not stand-by,shut off completely),or you may take the battery out for few seconds
5. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC via USB cable and remove the dummy Sdcard or mini-Sd card
6. Get your phone into Bootloader mode (Multicolor screen) by pressing camera button + Power on button
7. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Be sure that your battery is charged over 70%)
8. "USB"will appear on the bottom of the screen of the Bootloader (Multicolor screen)
9. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
10.Never use Bluetooth sync for the Upgrade
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.Please be patient when you're flashing your device, even if 98%. It can wait a little bit, 5 ~ 7 minutes.
Don't cancell the flash or get the phone off the usb cable till it confirms "Congratulations" or stops with an Error!!!
Hope it'll work, Good luck
Hi, this is the first time i saw a Paki guy on this web. I know there is alot of talent in IT profession in Pakistan. Anyway its good to see u here and i got a relief that with the help of a senior member like you i can get my phone work again.
To cut the chase, I have X01HT by Softbank Japan. It is Herms200 by HTC Japanese WM5 ROM. I have installed Asukal's English MUI and it was working fine for me. Now i'm planning to visit Pakistan this month so i though to unlock the sim and i used Prof v3a to unlock. I've successfully unlocked the sim and i guess CID also. When i use some other carrier's sim, i can receive the calls but cant make the calls out coz Softbank rom has a security which comes at screen and ask for password and dont let me do anything on the PDA. After studying alot on this forum i figured that i need to change the rom to get rid of that password message. i used the Olipro's Hard SPL and got bootloader 2.10 Olipro. I checked the other necessary stuff and when satisfied i started rom update. I end up with the same message of Error 260. Now my phone has no OS and it starts at bootloader. i tried everything possible like i make sure to remove all firewalls on my PC, used all the versions of Activesync and everything possible that i could. I trust that there is nothing wrong with the ROM etc but it is with connection.
Now if i update to the original ROM, i'm afraid that it will also upgrade my Bootloader and could never be able to flash english rom. I'm really depressed for the last three days and loosing sleep as well. I trust that you or any other senior member can help me with this.
Thanks in advance and looking forward anxiously.
Farrukh, wrong forum.
You know you have a Hermes, then you should know to post your questions in Hermes related forum, not wizard.
denflorida:
Try to update other Radio-only ROMs in xda's FTP server.
Sorry Brother, i know i have herms but i couldn't find some related topic in herms and i figured that Activesync problem is the same in all devices.
Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply. I'll try to find some from Herms.
Thanks
8125 rom update
i have tried to do a rom update on my 8125 g4. i recently purchased it off ebay and i have two problems. the reason i want to update it is because when i try to enable the wifi my device freezes. the other problem is that i can not seem to get the phone into boot loader mode. i have tried :
-turning the phone off and holding the camera button as i turn it on.
-holding the camera button and pluging it in to a usb port.
- using wizard service tool to enter boot loader mode.
after each of these different attempts i had to either remove the battery for 3 secs or hold the reset button for a few seconds before i can turn it back on. the phone still turns and just i can not use the wifi
Yes!!! Thank you! your instructions worked for me and got me past the Error [260] with my 8125 .

Thanks! Worked for Topaz and latest radio update.
Hi everybody,
i got a XDA Orbit 2 and today i tried to install SPB Phone Suite.
During install it asked for a Softreset, which i did...
After that i refused to boot and keeps hanging at the o2 Bootscreen.
It totally freezes, regardless if i pull any cable, remove the sd-card etc..
So i thought i'd a hardreset once again, but that one didnt work at all.
The Restore lasts maybe 10 secs (with and without sc-card), then asks for another boot and im again where i startet, the o2 bootscreen.
Any chance i get it working again?
Like somebody else recommended flashing it with either another rom or the original one, which i might d/l somewhere.
Then again, any Flash-HowTo starts with an ActiveSync Connection.
Since my Device wont boot at all, the ActiveSync Connection wont be established...
Any helpful Advise highly appreciated :-/

You should be able to manually put it into the boot loader. I'm not familiar with you phone so you will need to research that.
***Update**** Try this; "turn your phone on press and hold the two buttons on the upper left and right side from your naviwheel and press the resetbutton with your stylus"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366303
hrm, pressing the upper left/right buttons and reseting it doesnt do anything.
regarding google im the first human ever trying to get the htc touch cruise into bootloader mode.
i keep researching, thx for ur effort tho
Manually getting into the boot loader will allow to establish a link to your PC in order to re-flash. Like I said, I'm not familiar with your phone....
yup, i noticed some more users here own an Orbit2.
So i hope somebody is able to enlighten me, before i brake my fingers while trying to press all buttons same time and then somehow hit the reset button, hehe.
ok, i managed to get into bootloader.
some more detailed research helped me there, actually inside this board :-/
now lets see if HardSPL makes me happy.
tx again for ur time
I have an Orbit 2,
To Hard reset and delete everything from your phone and then let the rom reload everything back to factory settings, do the following.
1. Remove SD card
2. Hold down the 'Windows Icon' Button and the 'OK' button at the same time and keep them held in.
3. While still holding in the above 2 buttons, use the stylus and press the reset button in and then release it but you must still keep the 'Windows' button and the 'OK' button still in until you are prompted with a menu.
4. Once the menu appears: press 'Send' button to reset and reload rom or any other button to cancel.
I have done this procedure a few times now and is quite safe, especially after loading a crap piece of software that totally knackers up my Orbit 2.
I hope this helps you out........
Good luck
Tried that before and it worked out before also.
This Time the complete recover-process lasts only 10 seconds and then the Boot doesnt work anymore either.
Dunno why the hardreset aint working anymore.
Regarding the Flashing:
I managed to get into Bootloader and see the following Information:
POLA200
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
Serial.
Then i plug in the USB-Cable and start the Update-Utility.
After following each step i get the following error:
Error 262: Update Error
Saying it has encountered communication Errors and asks me if i want to recover...
Im running VistaSP1, maybe thats a reason?
Try this for your Vista issue. It worked for me the first time. Although I don't know if SP1 has any effect.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27 This was for Hermes also....
Updating the USB-Driver didnt help .
Using a XP VirtualPC didnt work out either, hehe.
Ill try tomorrow on a XP Machine, thanks for ur time once more.
Im not that desperate anymore, hehe.
Damn, now im using a Windows XP Machine (incl. all Updates) with ActiveSync 4.5, and still get the [262] Update Error.
Seems its seriously damaged :-(
One Question:
Did you installl phone-suite on a cooked rom, or on the original o2 rom?
i got the same freezing problem on my touch with a cooked rom. with the original rom i got no problems.
