Help: My German O2 Mini dead

Dear all expert,
While trying to flash my German Black O2 mini from Ger to ENG. (Using MAupgrade_noID)
After some steps, the o2 mini turn black and display
"Serial V1.02"
At this time, even though I softreset or hardreset the device,
the same wording also appear and can't further boot.
I even use SD card method but the same wording still appear again.
Can any expert teach me how to rescure my device?
Thanks

Are you sure you did the SD-method right?
At OS 1.13.01 GER Radio 1.13.00 BigStorage you will find the latest german BigStorage ROM image available. Now do the following:
Get ntrw from this site
Get a 512 MB SD-card (maybe a 128 MB one will work, too, but I am unsure about this).
Put ntrw into C:\
Extract the RAR into C:\, which should produce C:\11301bs.nb1
Enter the following into the command line at C:\:
Code:
ntrw write 11301bs.nb1 [your SD-card drive letter, e.g. I:]
, ignore error messages
Fully load your Magician!
Disconnect your Magician from anything, especially USB
Shutdown your Magician (press power button)
Put the SD-card into the Magician
Put Magician into Bootloader-Mode (Camera+Power+Reset at once, until you have the "Serial 1.02" screen w/o backlight)
Wait some seconds for "Press power to flash" to show on screen. Do just that.
This might just work.

Thanks KK.
What's wrong is that, it seem the bootloader is dead.
WHile I input the SD card while enter into the bootloader.
The screen still display "serial V1.02" and hold it.
No further wording like "Press power to flash it" etc.
Is it the bootloader is dead?

I do not think so. Make sure you shut down the Magician before placing the SD-card with a fresh ROM-image written to it into your device. Power on into Bootloader-Mode afterwards.
Another option to check your loader is the following:
Shutdown the Magician
Go into Bootloader-Mode
Wait for "Serial 1.02" to be displayed
Connect to PC via USB. The Bootloader should display "USB" shortly after connecting. If it does not: Maybe really you managed to kill your loader.
What exactly did you do? I used the NOID-Tool too, and had absolutely no problems with it. Besides: I also have a bootloader version 1.02.

kk
While plugging the usb cable to the device , yes, it show "USB" on the screen then.
However, when I use the romupdate.exe and try extract the rom into SD card at this time. After pressing "d2s" , the device shut down at once. No words appear on the screen.
Do you know what does it mean?
Besides, can you tell me what is "NOID-Tool" ?
thanks

The NOID-Tool would be MAupgrade_noID, which you used.
I am not sure about it, but as your device does not boot into the OS anymore, it seems reasonable to assume, that the ROM in your device is not valid anymore, due to errors while flashing it in the first place.
So - if there is no valid ROM, there is nothing, which the bootloader can write onto the SD-card.
Please try the method suggested in previous postings before anything else. If all this fails, I have no further suggestions - your device might really be dead.

You can try regular upgrade insted of doing it through SD card.
Danload shipROM, extract it and use MAupgradeNOID to run ROM and that is all you should do.

Hi,
Can you upload the rom again pls? Someone removed it from the ftp site. Like to give it a try, but can't find a prepared BS-rom anywhere.
Thnx, M

Hi there!
The FTP-master kindly converted the file to ZIP format. It is now available here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/BigStorage_ROMs/DE_T-Mobile_1.13.01.zip.
Remember: I used a 512 MB SD-card to create it, so maybe it won't work with smaller ones (but I think it should, since the ROM stored within this SD-card-image is no more than 64 MB in size).

Hi KK,
I found it along with the other BS roms and feel ashamed I couldn't find them. I tried it first with my 512MB card, but the cardreader won't write the file (no question about formatting whatsoever). Tomorrow I'm going to try with my 256MB mini SD card, which I know will be written by NTRW. I'll let you if I succeeded.
Regards, M

It works for sure with my 512 MB Kingston SD-card!
Don't bother about an error at the end of the ntrw-writing process. That's absolutely normal, since it would like to make the SD-card-drive the current drive, which is not possible after the writing process, as the SD-card now contains a ROM-image instead of a valid filesystem.

Hi KK,
Didn't manage to get it flashing. I used both cards but my magician doesn't accept the image somehow. No sign of any message like 'press power to load', not on serial nor on usb connection in the bootloader. It did work before with my own dumped rom, but lost the storage than, but it did accept the rom. Now it keeps awful quiet, I copied the first bytes and all, so maybe I'll give it a try with another rom. I want to sort this problem out.
Cheers, M

nbfdec made my big storage
Hello KK,
Yesterday I tried with the steps from hlt, out of the radio 1.13 upgrade thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32274. It doesn't involve any rom dumping or sd-card action whatsoever and it worked first time.Just one tool: nbfdec and a shipped rom. It is fast and simple. Thanks for your advices, hope others will try this method as well, because it is much easier than bigstorager and bytecopy etc.
M

The "no SD-card required"-method in this thread only works for shipped ROMs. The ROM i prepared is a combination of the latest german OS & Radio versions plus BigStorage, which is to my knowledge _not_ available in this combination elsewhere, and should therefore be the most up-to-date ROM usable for any german magician user with very few simple steps.
Since you require a non-german version, my ROM will not be appropriate for you, but this thread started out with a cry for help with a non-booting magician, and I thought, that my ROM-modification would be of some help here due to the simplicity in applying it and its actuality.
But be it as it may.

KK,
I had the same problem as Netmon, only bootloader and I couldn't make the sd flash. That's why I was looking for a decent rom. With the tooling found on this site I probably could turn my magacian from German to English again. Since all my storage was gone I could take the risc.
I solved my problem with the upgrade 1.13 thread and that method would have worked for Netmon to I guess, just put the magacian in bootloader connect to usb and flash with a German shipped rom or an altered version.
Anyway thanks for your time, M

Dear rilazi and all
The device has been proofed for dead by the manufacturer.
The symptom is
1) romupdate.exe can't detect the device
2) press softreset button can't reboot the device to normal screen, only display "Serial V1.02" on the screen
3) Use SD card method doesn't got any respone from the device, keep displaying "Serial V1.02"
4) Use shipped rom (with MaupgradeNo_id.exe) also can't detect the device.
I don't know whether it the V1.02 version of bootloader problem or not.
Before, I try to flash many time which it V1.01 with no problem.
So, all of the V1.02 German device (Black color Mini) should pay attention to it.

I have a bootloader v1.02, too. Absolutely no problems with flashing on my side.

[solved] Palm 750 wm6 speedup options

Hi all, im new here in terms of posting but have been reading for a while now.
I have a Plam Treo 750 vodafone which is unlocked. I installed vodafone wm6 update on it a month ago... but since then i've stopped using the phone due to this:
I'm used to fast systems such as my linux desktop and i was really frustrated how the wm6 interface is slow. Even with few progs installed the phone gets very sluggish and hanging up calls even takes time.
Now here's my question:
Is there any way to speedup WM6 ? or install a custom WM6 that is faster ?
I tried Rest of the World wm6 ROM but it wouldn't install on my phone when i opened the installer it would say not compatible.
Would this speedup my phone ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345748
What should i do... i really love the phone and its features... but i just want wm6 to run faster so that the phone is usable.
thanks

Got it right mate! Nice research!

can anyone please help me install "WM6 AKU0.7.0 WWE Cooked ROM Lite"...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345748
I've never done something like this before and have no idea how to begin.. I can't find any guides only random text throughout the posts so i don't know what applies to me and what doesn't. I'm really worried about damaging my phone by doing something stupid.
My Phone:
750v from vodafone UK with vodafone wm6... but it was unlocked by previous owner... since i can use it on other phone providers in other countries. I have usb cable and 1Gig microSD.
The installation notes of the rom say i need to install Hard-SPL then flash radio then flash OS. Now for Hard-SPL do i need to install it if my phone is unlocked because i read some confusing posts there... then what is a radio flash do i need to do that ? how does it affect radio...
then after that i need KaiserCustomRUU.exe to flash the rom... i only found a post about CustomRUU with "RUUWrapper.zip" is that the same thing... sorry but i'm really confused and need someone to guide me through the process for my first time if possible.

You are ready to go. Download the ROM from Chaimd on the 750 Upgrading thread, rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh (the ROM file name the 750 expects to see) and copy it to the root of your miniSD card.
Insert the miniSD card, hold down the bottom right button on the side while you do a reset and the bootloader will start. And away you go.
Make sure you backup (backup program is best) all your data - it starts you out with fresh device and default settings. ROM works perfectly - fast and lots of extra storage.

Thanks txzman for the info. But just to be sure i understand... you're saying i don't need to install Hard-SPL from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100&page=1
Nor do i need to flash the radio ?

UPDATE:
ok i didn't install Hard-SPL or flash the radio.
I tried to install the rom straight away... i put the ROM on my memory card root and renamed it, then did the reset with sidebutton...and i got to the wierd colors screen and nothing happenes after that.
It says on the screen:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
In the end nothing happens... this method doesnt work. i tried using KaiserRUU.exe update method but also that doesn't work it gives me and "Error [260]: Connection" even though activesync is connected... please tell me what i can do to install this rom.

i posted the question in the thread for the cooked rom. i guess this is not the right place to ask thus no one is replying.

sd needs to be formatted fat32 - re-format card to fat32, re-copy cheeimg and try again. Google or search here for the available formatting apps.

INSTALL HARD-SPL FIRST....
i can't stress this enough...

If your Palm Treo is unlocked, you still need to install Hard SPL but just run step 1 and ignore step 2 & 3. This will allow you to flash your Treo with ROM's other than your provider as well as modified/cooked ROM's like the one made by Chaimd.

Simple how-to run android from windows

TO ALL PEOPLE:
PLEASE STOP POSTING IN THIS TOPIC ABOUT "THIS PART DOESN'T WORK ECC ECC" WRITE IN THE TOPIC OF THE RELEASE (KERNEL OR SYSTEM), PLEASE LOOK IN THIS THREAD FOR WORKING SETUPS AND TRICKS, AND SEARCH ON THE FORUM BEFORE POSTING!
I start with thread with a information for all users:
Haret system sucks so if you want a full working android system left windows behind you and move to the new android world flash on nand.
With this how-to you will not erase any part of your system but you do at your own risk.
Main problem: screen
For polaris there are 3 type of screen. Usually pola100 (the old one) use panel 1, and pola 200 (09 edition) has panel 3 but ... not always works...
The best mode to test is try to install and after double reboot you have black screen change panel type.
What you need:
phone
sd card (1 Gb or more) 500 mb free
time
Update guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsHaret

reserved by me

Do we have to delete/remove the install-seq.sh after installation?
Are both files (system & data) cleared with the installation script?
Thanks for the help.

install-seq.sh disable automatically after correct install.
This how-to is fir first install on disk on images so it format both data an system.
If you want to make only un update use bsg select partion and select update.

partition
I believe you should make this sticky

Don't post without reading!!!!
This method doesn't use sd partition, it create two imagedisk on sd!

hi there..
i solved the problem..i took an older Z image..and working fine
the problem is that more applications like camera..media player screen adjust don't work..
they try to run..(i mean ..in camera..i can see..but appears a messages with stop working..sorry). i don't know why..
nothing work well
and what about the contacts..how can i get them from my Sim card?
i don't know..
if you can help me will be great.
thx allot for yours assistance.
best regards.

The information from sim card are very limitated (neither pin code works) so if you want to export contact sync before starting with google and configur your google account on android.
old zimage are full of bugs and all developers install android on nand so starting android from haret has many unfixed bugs.

I've been playing around with the haret install for a week or so now, and I've found that, for me at least, it makes a huge difference which initrd.gz file I use.
The one dated 22-05-10 doesn't let me install any zImages newer than 29-04-10. After trying all sorts of combinations of base files with different dates (haret, zImage) and additions to the default.txt, changing the initrd.gz file to the one dated 20-02-10 fixed most of my problems and lets me install the most recent zImage files without a glitch.
No clue why, just that it works.
I'm running a Pola100 with the original WM6.0 ROM still on it, and radio version 1.58.25.14. Yeah, I need to upgrade to at least the official WM6.1 ROM and probably something better. But I'm a newbie at this, so I need to work up some courage first ;-)

hello,
I tried to install android on sd following your instructions, everything seems to go well until the screen where it says:
"Welcome to htc vogue Frøya
touch the android to begin "
I'll try, but the touch does not work, I tried using the d-pad, which does work, but I can only select the language and the emergency call.
zImage as I used: zImage-Frøya-15-07-10
androidinstall.tar as I used: Incubus26Jc's Super Frøya RLS11 Themed
please help me because I would switch to Android!

I tried it unsuccessfully. Boot starts regulary, always ending on repeating error, looping forever.
I can read something like:

Is it related to which system file ? Loader? Kernel ? Or what ?
