Hey.
I've recently found a load of old phones in my loft, one of which is a old T-mobile MDA comapct.
Trying to turn it on, all i get is a screen saying:
Serial
v 1.00
Can anyone tell me, is the phone screwed??
Or could i find a way to get it working again??
It says in the manual that it ran on Windows Mobile 2003 SE, so returning it to that would be good. But if i could get it to a higher version of windows mobile, that would be awsome!
Thanks for any help you guys can be!!
Read the threads on this page relating to Cotulla's windows mobile 6 upgrade....it seems that it is in bootloader mode and you should just be able to upgrade to the new version following the posts instructions.

the screen on my wing is cracked but the phone is still ticking underneath. i'm trying to access the phone. i read an earlier thread that suggested using my mobiler to do so. it sounds great except that i cant get my mobiler to connect to my phone after i install it. the link between the phone and the pc is good because windows mobile device center is working just fine. i thought it was the fact that i was running vista instead of xp but upon checking the my mobiler web site it appears that it should work on vista as well. i'm in dire straits without being able to access my phone so please help!!
Hi everyone.
After much searching I seem to have got nowhere. Can someone please help.
My mda compact 2 starting playing up yesterday, rebooting on its own, so I tried to install the upgrade from tmobile (ruu charmer). The upgrader stopped and my mda now has a screen that only either says serial v1.02 or usb v1.02.
I've tried rebooting it several times in several different ways without any joy, the screen just remains the same. I tried connecting to my laptop via active sync, but its like it doesn't exist anymore!
I'm about to give up after hours of trying to fix it, so any assistance in very simple terms would be much appreciated!
problem solved
Seems like my problem must have been too basic or too common for anyone to bother to help, so I did some searching myself throughout this site and elsewhere.
However, what I found was thoroughly misleading and unhelpful.
The error messages are also inaccurate and totally misleading. Error 274 might mean pc can't connect to pda, but it also means other things, like your using the wrong upgrade firmware!!. Having serial v1.02 or usb v1.02 on your screen does not mean its a grey and black brick(useless), its simply the upgrade mode screen.
Basically, I made an error in choosing my upgrade. I chose the wrong firmware package from t-mobile thinking what I had was a mdacompact 2, when it actually was just a mda compact. This error was the main issue, yet from this forum I had the idea it could have been a number of things.
One important thing to remember is adhering to all the instructions regarding the installation of the new rom.
Don't bother unless you do the following:
1) Make sure you have a good connection via cradle or usb lead when doing the download.
2) Make sure you close all unnecessary programs on your pc.
3) Dont touch either your pc or the mda during installation.
4) Don't give up after you read misleading rubbish on the web.
5) Make sure you download from the web the correct upgrade firmware!!(very important in my case!)
6) Active sync is not totally necessary during the process.(I turned off usb connection in its setting during my installation).
Hey

Hello guys.
I recently got a S710 from a friend with Windows Mobile 6. Everything was working fine (couldn't get Windows Live Messenger on it but that's ok).
Now I upgraded it to Windows Mobile 6.1 (Gonzo), and it had Windows Live already on it. Now, everytime I try to connect it says:
Code:
The Windows Live ID service requires a certificate, but yours isn't working. You can probably fix this by updating the time and date in your device's settings. After you do that, try connecting again.
My date and time are okay, I even have 'Automatic time-zone' enabled.
Windows Update doesn't work either, gives me the following error:
Code:
Connection to update server was not available. Check your data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct.
I don't think it's my data connection settings , because I can use Internet Explorer without any problem. I did use the search function, but couldn't find much.. can anybody help me with this one?
P.S. I'm kinda new to Windows Mobile.. so please try to keep it noob-friendly
Thanks in advance!
I'm having the same problem with the Neo rom
nobody who has an answer to this ?
Im stuck with this too. I installed a different version of windows live, off this site and now no WL services work. It even screwed my messenger, which i had on the handset as stock.
There are a lot of WM 6.1 ROM which has this problem. Can you please try fireburned WM 6.1 Clean Stable ROM? It doesn't have this issue.
Ok....... i brought a palm treo750 off ebay and it came unlocked but i cant seem to find the software that i need to sync music from pc to phone...
some 1 plzs HELPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!
the software is called Microsoft Activesync 4.5
It is free and available all over the web for download.
Help please
Sorry to bother but i have a few questions for someone out there...i have a 750 treo and none of the support on this website is helping...i am trying to flash my palm 750 but its says the file is corrupted..what do i do about that? Progress only reaches 7% ive used cheetah and kaiser with the cheeimg.nbh file and the ruu_signed.nbh files and unlockers and i was also wondering if it can be flashed just using the computer and usb in booter mode since it wont go past the palm splash screen...i can access my treo using mtty but doing task 2a doesnt do anything either... I think that maybe my phone is screwed up. I appreciate any help you can offer.
I posted the following item in the "Beginners instructions thread" last week, but only one person has responded. I am trying to repost again in the hope that more people will see it and that someone will have experienced this previously:-
I have read countless threads on this site and have finally decided to upgrade my O2 XDA from WM5 to WM6.
I have found the instructions for doing this, but have fallen at the first hurdle.
The mobile update utility cannot connect to my Wizard, (error 222). I am still able to sync with active sync, so my pda is seeing and being seen by the pc.
Is there anything that I can do to at least get started please?
P.S. I have tried downloading lokiwiz, but that doesn't work either. I tried searching google for it, but that only brings me back to this site.
Is it actually possible to upgrade or am I missing something really stupid?
P.P.S
I have now done a hard reset. The only thing that I have changed is the date and time. This is now an O2 Exec, completely as it came out of the factory. I am using Active Sync 4.5. Why can I not connect to the button rom?
im not too sure what your issue is but i think you will get an answer on ppcgeeks.com. i use this site and that one. you have a lot of experts between the 2 sites
Thanks aman1127, my main problem is that the mobile update utility cannot connect to my Wizard, (error 222). I am still able to sync with active sync, so my pda is seeing and being seen by the pc.
I have read all the warnings about turning your Wizard into a brick, I can't even get it to do that!
I have checked the help tab on the Mobile Updat Utility, but that gives me "error 404"
Is there a proper way to upgrade my device using software and instructions that are up to date?
I'll have a look at the other site as well. Many thanks for your help.
