please help, ive upgraded the rom from the o2 website and it has lost all the O2 software on the phone (which may not be a bad thing) but it has lost all the pre installed connection settings for the internet.
any ideas how to solve this or reset it back to its original rom settings
cheers guys
dazza
A hard reset should restore the settings, I dont understand why the settings are missing, did it go through the auto configuration routine where you choose your country and gsm/gprs prepay etc.?
Hi Dazza,
Mine did the same. I just have "USB v1.01" on the screen whilst it's in its USB cradle. If I take it out it displays "Serial v1.01". Pushing the Hard Reset buttons, and even removing the Battery just results in the same display.
Have you resolved it yet please?
Desperately yours,
Andy
It's mean you have fail to upgrade your Xda II ROM. Anda the ROM have been formated. You can put the Xda in the cradle, and run the original ROm 1.60.44. Good luck!

Hi all,
i've got a slight problem with my XDA. After updating to WM 2003 (4.00.16) my GSM (3.23) seens to be broken...
It woked for a while and then out of nowhere. My XDA now wont boot. Th good news is that i can go into the bootloader.
What can i do now? Where can i get a good WM2002 image to put onto my SD Card? I'd appreciate any help!!!
Dear Fabi,
I know it might not be the suitable question, but could you plz tell the exact steps you did that led you to this situation. This is to allow you to get precise help, and to be a learned lesson for the rest of us, coz I was about to upgrade from 3.25 to 4.00.16 but prefered to ask first.
Don't worry, the guys here are way clever and I 'm sure you will get the help very soon ... TKR
Nooo problem. I was about to Sync my XDA via USB Cradle and noticed that my backlight was turned off. Also my Phone was searching for a Network (now I know why... :roll: ). So I thought it might be good to reset that thing..... *aghhhrrrr* That was a big mistake. After the reset I saw the boot screen and the backlight blinking twice. That was all. My Bootloader (5.15) says "GSM Error"... now I'm without Mobile Phone for a while :?
so in other words, 4.00.16 was OK but you screwed up the XDA by just doing a reset while the backlight was off ?? ... I 'm afraid I don't get it :?

Confirming you used the SD card method to upgrade, right!
Also what radio band is or was your XDA set to before the upgrade?
HTH
No I didn't use SD Card to update my XDA. I used The ROM-Kitchen to generate a exe and updated over USB cradle.
Im running my MDA (i don't have a XDA ) on a german GSM 1800. Eplus. It was always set to this option and I never even tried to change it.
@biso007:
I screwed my MDA because I did a reset. Thats right. But I had some backlight issues in the past few days after upgrading. The backlight sometimes turned off and there was no chance to get it back on... only a reset. I first thought the proplem occured again yesterday but then i saw that my MDA was looking for network. After resetting the GSM part was dead....!
So back to my problem. I now ordered a SD Card Reader/writer. Is it possible to resore my system via XDArit and a backup? Can someone provide me a working 2002 backup from boot, OS and GSM part? Or can I do this by myself. I really appreciate your help!! Thanks a lot.
Ok I see!
Do this then press the green phone button, tools, Options, Band
and post whats listed.
and yes its possible to restore your system via XDArit and a backup.
As far a the 2002 PPCPE ROM goes you should be able to download it from T-Mobile, so visit their web site and search their MDA upgrade/download section.

My MDA does not boot anymore! I can't get into windows and i can't sync anymore! I have the Radiostack and the 2002 image fram the T-Mobile Website but the image ist a NK.nbf. AFAIK XDArit needs *.nb1 Files? I also noticed that it seems not possible to write the GSM Part to the phone via XDArit.
Hiya Folks
I wonder if you could helpme with a bit of a problem, i have recently attempted to upgrade my XDA using the reccommended downloads from O2, this upgraded my ROM and the GSM part of the XDA. however when trying to get into my XDA it freezes, i can get into the bootloader but get a GSM error, am i able to flash the GSM, if so where can i get the flash and how would i carry this out. i have got into the GSM part of the bootloader and the GSM will not turn on. i have tried copying the GSM from a friends XDA only to find the message "please connect to RS232 and run PC monitor now"
Hope you can help
Cheers guys, you are truly more useful than the folks who we obviously look up to at O2!!!! Mind you this does not say much!!
Thanks again
Dave

Sorry for probably being a typical newbie but I have just had my o2 XDAii unlocked which works great but I have lost all of my o2 goodies like camera/mms/sms/wap/profiles etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction with regards to restoring these. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks. :?
Unlocking shouldnt do that, if you remove the battery it should put it back to factory settings.
Thanks for the reply. It was unlocked for me by a friend (mobile shop owner) not using software from here. I have tried the battery but still no joy. Any ideas how I can get all my o2 features back? Cheers
ok, have you tried pushing the stylus in the reset hole at the base of the xda2 while holding down the power switch, this is a hard reset so you will lose all your data unless you backup first.
You am de man!!!!!
I have had an Ipaq for 2 years and never thought of doing a hard reset......Doh!
Cheers mate and thanks for the quick responses.
I am once again a happy xdaii user.
Ps. What are the best upgrades to perform on this machine cause I am just getting my head around all this firmware/radio version stuff :?:
Personally I am waiting for the O2 official upgrade. I dont wish to knacker my new machine just yet.
re unlocked xda2
if your phone has gone back to factory standard... as in ... useless... goto storage and find the file backup. its hidden somewhere.... double click that and the xda2 ought to return to normal with all functionality.
chris
lost all my functionality after hard reset
I did a hard reset on my xda 2 and have lost the camera,mms and most of the great things on the xda2. I tried to find that backup file but with no luck.
Please can someone help me get this thing functioning properly.
Thanks

Have I fried my XDA 2?
I've had this thing 1 hour and I was running the latest rom upgrade from O2. While it was checking the rom in my XDA2 it came back saying "Error 120: Country ID Error". Now the thing is stuck in a serial bootloader 1.03 mode and grey screen.
I'd not made ANY changes to config of the XDA before trying to upgrade it.
Any ideas?
Don't lose hope mate! I had a very similar problem, with the same result, only my screen said "Serial v1.01" Black text on grey background, no backlight. When I placed it into the USB Cradle it changed to "USB v1.01". It would do this even after I took the battery out for 20 minutes, the moment I relaced the battery, without even pressing the power button. I believe this is correct operation for the XDA II when it's "between ROMs" so to speak, perhaps someone in authority will confirm this?
Anyway, after rebooting the XDA II and the PC, and re running the upgrade sequence about 10 times it worked, and I now have a perfectly functional XDA II. Made me sweat, and swear, for a few hours though, I can tell you.
Keep trying and good luck. Sorry I can't help more!
Andy
I have the same problem... still not working eventhough tried many many times..
It wont even go to bootloader mode.. (pressing power, navigation and reset button)
I come up with serial on top but when i plug-in to a usb cradle it turns to USB and v.1 06 at bottom..
I also tried with different roms.. (QTEK and MDAII) upgrade utility but it only comes up with a window "checking the information on your pocket pc.. .please wait" then the xdaII screen went blank (like no power) and the utility does nothing else..
can someone help? or have i lost the xda II totally?
Hi,

alimx, You could be more polite replying to him, he was giving you a suggestion, why you become RUDE!!
well, If i have an answer or a solution to your problem then I prefer NOT to give it to you, jerk!!
:evil: :evil: :evil:
alimx,
when it says "Serial" and "v1.06" then changes to "USB" when you place in the cradle, IT IS in bootloader mode.
I had this same problem with a recent i-mate I bought for my boss. It won't let you downgrade or switch to any other ROM besides the 1.66 i-mate ROM.
1. Open Activsync without the unit in the cradle.
2. Go to Activsync and uncheck the box where it says "Allow USB Connection with this Computer" (seems strange I know but it works)
3. Put the i-mate in the cradle. It should say "USB" and "v1.06" at the bottom.
4. Download and run the i-mate ROM version 1.66 from clubimate website.
5. Allow it a few minutes and it should finally come up with the screen about converting blah blah to blah blah ROM.
For some reasons, the new i-mates coming out that have the 1.66 ROM will not allow a downgrade to ANY OTHER ROM. Which I think is BS.
For the guy having trouble with 1.10 Radio version. My suggestion is to re-run the 1.66 ROM (I think it's your only option at this point until a new ROM is issued from i-mate). It may fix things. My 1.10 radio version seemed better the second time I loaded the ROM (I know it shouldn't make a difference but it seemed to).[/list]
Hi
When i tried the upgrade program version 1.0 from orange 166 DK my XDAII started at least to show error codes when upgrading.

Dear all.
I had the very same problem couple nights ago. All I did was soft and hard reset, all of which didn't help. But just before I lost my hope, I re-cradled my XDA II, at that time my xda's screen was still black and displayed "Serial", then I chose different upgrade version and installed it from my PC and everything turned out fine.
HTH Cheers,
I am having the same trouble
I am trying all these suggestions, but with no luck so far! (my screen displays v1:01 When I try and install anything on it, my pc can't detect the device
Any more advice?

plz hlp me iam newbee and not good in programmin .I also have asecond Xda2 with 1.66.00wwe plz tell if it can b of any help
Reset your device, place it in the cradle and re-run the upgrade.
thanx i tried it already from 2 computers in one its showing error 103 no rom image found and in another its showing error 101 country code problem
Which ROM are you attempting to upgrade to? Which one exactly had you previously upgrade to? What operator do you use?
I'm asking all this to try and get a better picture. Normally, people in your situation can recover by applying the same upgrade again, or, at worst, re-applying the one they are upgrading from.
Make sure you are in bootloader mode (by pressing Jog button and Power button at the same time as pressing reset) before retrying any upgrade. Also make sure the USB cradle is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not through a hub and that the power supply is connected to the cradle. It may help to make sure that Activesync isn't running also.
active sync
in the active sync tray it shows that not connected
Well i had 1.72.00wwe rom image 1.14 earlier and iwas tryiong to upgrade to 1.72. something can't remember exactly but it was with rom image 1.17 it was downloaded from t mobile and my current phone is from o2

Activesync is not needed for upgrades. The upgrade process looks after its own connection. I suggest you follow the procedures in my post here to overcome the Country ID error problem. You will need to know what the device's operator and language IDs are currently set to, which is why I asked you above. I suspect you won't have Devicedata.txt, so it becomes necessary to know what operator and language the previous upgrade was.
to revive your XDA2 again
The main point is what is ROM 1.66 come from (e.g. i-mate ot T-mobile)
If you doesn't upgrade 1.66 ROM by yourself or it came from factory ,you must tell us which operator did you buy from.
If you try upgrade across operator ,it will hang on boot loader screen.
And again, which 1.72 ROM did you try to upgrade from?
I got an SPV M1000 locked to orange, unlocked it and it works fine. I though I would unhide then unlock extended rom, remove all extended rom, then replace with an O2 extended rom that I had backed up on my pc. I made sure that I relocked and rehid the extended rom after this, when hard reset it does everything ok, then the screen dims as if the battery is being disconnected, simialr to a hard reset where the screen becomes dimmer and dimmer but the light stays on. Any idea why. Basically I just want it to be an O2 phone, anybody got any ideas as to the best rom and extended version to use??
From what I can remeber when I did just the opposite to you (PAYG Orange sets up so easily, but not so on O2), and the M1000 has an earlier ROM than the XDA II. There could be incomptabilities between the programs in ExtROM and the base OS.
Unfortunately this would mean that you might need to reflash the whole device. As you need to re-install everything, it is a bind doing this - especially as you need to get the operator code right as well.
Always assuming that your m1000 doesn't have another issue, you may have to bit the bullet.
