Help! Upgrade Failed, "EXTROM ERROR"

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.)

stuck after update failure

Was installing duttys rom when my anti-virus program started. Update failed and since then all I see is the tri-colour screen. Sometimes I can get the rom updater to recognise my TyTNII but it will not continue to upgrade. Any suggestions. Have tried mtty1.42 but it doesn't seem to have a usb port option, have tried hard reset etc with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

An update, I have tried several rom updates since, most get to the stage where the progress bar is shown and the stop. The HTC update to revert to shipped rom gets to 1% and then tells me that this rom is not suitable for my pda!

How about some more information...
What is your Tytn II - Tilt or HTC?
What Rom was on it before you tried upgrading?
What Radio was on it before you tried upgrading?
What version of Duttys did you try to flash?
Did you upgrade to HardSPL before you tried flashing?
This should enable someone to begin trying to unbrick your phone.
Also DO NOT USE MTTY unless you know what you are doing - it can seriously kill your Tytn if used incorrectly. Wait for GSLEON3 to swing by before trying this - but he's very busy at the moment helping others unbrick their toys so you may have to wait for a while.
If you had an original rom/radio from AT&T or HTC it shouldn't hurt trying to download an original rom and try to flash - preferably using your SD card.
Also, while you're waiting for someone to help, have a good read through the Kaiser Wiki (in my signature) before trying anything else.

what are the steps that u take? let us know if u are missing any

HTC TyTN 11, Was using Q-mobile 1.2 but couldn't install tom tom navigator 6, don't know what radio it was using because i hadn't got that far.

Try to reset pda keep getting tri-colour, attach usb and usb shows at base of screen. When i try to install rom The problem in my second post occurs. I cannot hard reset device to anything other than the tri-colour

Thanks for your help, I tried one of the roms indicated and it worked! I have spent so much time reading various wikis and downloading files. I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time but I'm not about to ask questions! Thanks again!

OK, now you've got your phone working again, make sure that you get HardSPL installed before you try anymore flashing.

ok i was installing KAIS_Radinly_0.26.07.06_CustomRUU and it froze at 96% and now my phone is bricked!! every time i restart the phone its stuck at the RED GREEN BLUE and WHITE screen.. i tried using mtty but then im not trying to mess my phone up any more. i dont understand how to fix it.. if i download a new ROM and put it on my SD card then how do i read it with my phone? sorry guys, im a noob at this as you can tell..

nm guys. i just ran the new rom and it worked! haha sorry for posting too quick!

NOT FOR SALE.' how do i get rid of this? when i installed a new rom it still says this and i even tried hard resetting my phone but it did not reset anything to factory settings. it just reloaded the rom that i last had!

Universal No GSM Problem

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

Tilt Flashing Issue, this is a repost

Hey Guys,
First off this is a re-post, me old thread was closed, I am sorry for reopening but I am still having this issue. DaveShaw and smokestack76 had posted. Dave thank you for your reply but I have been through the noob flash guide and many many many other threads and it does not resolve my issue.
I'm not new to flashing and roms, I have flashed at least 100 times and have done some cooking. Had the random stuck in bootloader that wouldn't resolve itself today (using 3.29) Loaded kaisdiagsd.nbh and flashed stock att rom. (probably should have gone right for the spl patch but I was frustrated and needed my phone) Boot loader is now v3.65
Flashed fine, reboot, same issue. Phone will now only load the stock 6.1 att rom from the micro sd. kaisdiagsd.nbh is stuck on loading as for all other roms. I can occassionally get the os to load using mtty. From there tried jumpspl and it would not connect via usb at all.
I have tried flashing spl from the sd and yes spl image was KAISIMG.nbh and KAISDIAG.nbh was on there as well. Card is formatted fat32. HardSPL would start, read the file and get stuck on loading.
When in the stock 6.1 os I get the old unrecognized usb device in both xp and vista.
Is there anything else I can do to reflash spl? All i can think of is trying the task 2a, wiping everything and trying to flash from diag but I don't even want to try that route without something solid in place.
The phone is 2 years old, upgrading when the touch pro 2 hits att in aug sept or whenever it is released, but I need my phone.
I have gone through many many many posts. I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
I have the stock 6.1 att rom up right now but I would like to resolve the issue.
__________________

finally finally got the patched version of 3.29 flashed. I will let you guys know how it goes from here. I am on a different computer at work.

Success!
I started from complete scratch and a fresh brain and was able to get everything going.
After I got the os back up i was able to start jumpspl and get it to connect via usb. Then only the force usb on 3.29 patch would work. After that repaired active sync and I was ready to go. Thanks smokestack79 for the late night help last night. I was out of it and frustrated. Seems like she's got a little more life in her after all.

[Q] Qtek S100 error 114 radio

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.
