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!

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?

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.
Before it only become black
My unit was á new QTEK 2020 with french system 1.66, boatloder 1.06 maybe newer units needs the latest himalya upgrade software.
I will keep trying
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?
HI
I found this
http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIRom.htm
I downloaded the xdaII launch rom, and it is working!! My screen tells me it is upgrading!!
Hope this helps!
Have fun

I bought an O2 XDA-II only about a week ago, with the following ROM/Radio Versions:
1.60.00 - ROM Version
1.10.00 - Radio Version
Today, I tried upgrading the XDA with the latest ROM upgrade from o2 UK, 1.60.50, using a USB cradle. Unfortunately, the cradle wasnt connected to the power supply as required by the program, and at about 8%, I got a message saying that there has been an error and that I should start the process again. I did so, this time making sure the power supply was connected, but the same thing kept on happening again and again. I even tried to flash the XDA with the German ROM but the same error occured at the same place. Restarting my PC / reinstalling ActiveSync wasnt of any help either.
I now have a dead XDA-2 which just says "Serial" and "V 1.03" when I put it on the cradle. Any help on what I can do now will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but I dont think it would help me, as the site you quoted mentions that I need to copy some files onto my XDA and check the version, something that is not possible with my XDA being dead. I contacted O2 and they said that this looks like a warranty issue, but as I will not be back in the UK for the next couple of months, this puts me in a very tight spot. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with their XDA-II?
yes i did the same..... had to get mine replaced by O2
I have only had my XdaII for a month, but last week it locked up and upon a soft reset it took 5 minutes to get past the O2 screen, then there was no responce to any screen taps, i decided to do a full reset, once rebooted still no response to screen taps, so i couldnt calibrate the screen or go any further, i connected the xda to activesync this still worked fine and was responding normally. I then decided to reload the rom from myxda.com, biggest mistake as it crashed halfway through now it just says Serial v1.06 or USB v1.06 if its in the cradle, now before i get bashed for just asking this question the same as a lot of other people have, i have spent the last 4 days go over this site trying anything that relates to getting any image back onto my xda, nothing has worked i have tried any nbf or nb1 image i can find on here with orginal or modified himaupgradeut.exe same response every time error 100: incorrect device type, i have tried any image i get can get onto an SD card, they either dont boot or wont allow upload, so my question is i have seen several people on here ask about bring v1.06 back from the dead but so far noone has had any instructions on how to this when a normal boot isnt possible.
I don't know if this is any help,but I had something similar.
I concluded that the rom on xda2 was newer than one being upgraded? with,so it says it won't work.I sent mine back to o2,but think that rom 172 or something, might be accepted.People say that you leave it 30 mins before it starts to upgrade.
There is a problem with bootloader v1.06 in that it will not allow 'downgrades'. It seems to have appeared on devices around the same time that ROM versions 1.72 appeared. I have read that it will allow installation of version 1.66 but nothing less than that (and that may apply only to T-Mobile). However, you should be able to install a version 1.72 ROM without to much problem.
My help
You can make the unit work again by downloading the rom version:
1. Ensure that the main battery has enough charge to make the unit in bootloading mode.
2. Execute the bootloading mode and connect the unit to the docking station(cradle), you will see the "Serial" in the upper portion of the screen will switch to "USB" this is an indication that there's a connection established between the pocket pc and your pc.
3. Then download the latest Rom version(1.72 is a better choice).
Thanks dcs and Juni
The 1.72 rom did get it going again .... but i still have no response on the screen so im guessing ill have to return it.
Does anyone know where i can get the 1.66WWE rom from as im assuming returning it with 1.72 rom on it may be frowned upon, and a voided warrany.
Thanks agian guys for your help

And its hanging. When I reset to bootloader again the soft telling me:

Please get probper ROM Upgrade Utility and try again!
Where can I get the radio version 1.05 for T-Mobile Vario II ???????????
Is there possibility to download from somewhere ?
Or maybe I should try other solution ?
Read "problem 5" here:

Yes, I was tying point 5 few times. The problem is, I can connect through mtty.exe without any problems, but after soft reset, I am pressing POWER and OK button and going to bootloader mode again, and when I am trying to flash the extracted radio ROM (i tried all of them = 4) and there is a problem. nothing is working. I am waiting and waiting, and there is only info: Checking your device information or something like that. What can I do ? Sorry for my English guys.
Instead of flashing an extracted radio image try to flash a normal shipped rom (if possible matching your cid). Capture the process using usb monitor to see where exactly it fails and which error you get.

No rom matching your cid is available then, use the TyTN 1.18 rom.

I tried that ROM 2 times, once I plugged with holding camera button and second time without. I made monitor of QTEK rom aswell, because its the one which is changing phone screen from red green blue stripes to completly white. But nothing else is doin...
A attaching logs in zip file below. I have 3 files from each session, I dont know which are correct, 2 of them i saved and 1 is exported.
What do you think ?
I used USB-monitor from http://www.hhdsoftware.com/
very weird... usb seems not working but for what you say bootloader seems to be ok. Are you sure this was after patching the radio with universal unlocker? it seems totally a different problem :-$
I guess you'll have to wait until t-mob releases a ROM matching your CID and then flash it using the hermimg.nbh sd-card flashing method.
You can also try to connect to it via serial, I have no experience on that, but a search on these forums might tell you how...
keep us updated
How long I have to wait ?
Should I go to T-Mobile when I will be back to Scotland and tell them what I did or what ? Did I lose my warranty ? Do you know approximately how much they will charge me for flashing my phone ?
Do I really have no chances to repair it by myself ?

Until t-mobile releases a rom with your cid... it can be today or next year, I don't know.

I don't think you lost the warranty. They usually charge about 100 eur for flashing it back in the service centre. They do it by inserting a diagnostics sd card, but we don't have it for the Hermes

You can try flashing over serial port, and you can try sd-card flashing, but for sd-card flashing you need a rom matching your CID first.
Eureka!!!
Finally I made my device working again!
And I dont have simlock !
After trying everything.... ufffff.
THX !!!!!!
1) I downloaded ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v1.zip
2) Reset my phone in bootloader mode.
3) Plug USB cable.
4) Run HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v1.
5) After 20 min. my phone said ELO to meeeee He did not have simlock when was saying that.
YE YE YE
That was simple. If you have any Hermes radio problem, try that first - HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v1.
Will be more often here, forum seems to be really interesting.
YO!
Yipie
Glad it worked
I tried to do a ROM Upgrade but something went wrong and now the screen on my XDA II just shows the words Serial and v1.06. When I did a hard reset the screen still shows the same thing. When I connect the device using the cradle the word Serial changed to USB, but it didn't seem to connect to the PC. The Activesync was not activated also. When I tried to run the ROM Upgrade again, it shows ERROR 100: MODEL ID ERROR. I tried to run HimaUpgradeUT_noID.exe, it shows Error 103: ROM IMAGE FILE NOT FOUND. Can anyone please help me get my device working again? Thank you in advance.

Dead XDA II
Hi Guys, I'm new to all this because my XDA has never failed me, until now. I too tried to upgrade the ROM, realising too late that the upgrade from a UK site was not meast for the Asian zone.
Anyway, I tried downloading the following link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/36498840...adeUt_noID.rar runterladen.
When I tried to lanch the file it tells me that RUU.dll is missing.
Is there a link that works or is there a fix for this? As I said, I'm new to this therefore need step by step instruction.
Hope someone can assist, I'm lost without my XDA II.
Thank you

Hi Usman,
What OS of windows PC do you use? it can't work with windows vista. Try to downloads new version of active sync then try it again. The upgrade is specify, can't work in any kind of devices
I was trying to upgrade to radio v1.43 in the hope that battery life was improved over 1.41 however when it got to 8% it stopped and gave me an error i can't remember After atempting to recover, it got off the three colour screen now the 3100 stalls on the blackshadow version4 screen (bootloader screen?) and goes no further. I tried reflashing but got a 260 and using mtty, only getting 2 com port options, didn't offer any help.
I'm really sorry to have not been able to sort this with reading through the relevant post but I haven't found a solution. What else can I try?
Hi,
Could you pls advise what is your device made, model, SPL version ... etc.
Also did you try to do Hard reset?
I'm using now black MAJIK (and few days ago black shadow) with radio 1.43 with no problem.
its the SPV m3100 When I decided to go Black shadow I read up on mr vanx and made sure I had all the things I needed. If I remember right, when I came to upgrade to Majik the auto detect found the second option down
SPL-1.04/1.10 - 1.09 Bootloader. I've realized since I had a spaz and ran the RUU from the archive this time. From what I've since read thats not too cleaver.
I have tried a hard reset and took the battery out instead of pressing space.
I dont know if this information on the starter screen is of use
M 05
S 04
B 05 D 3lak
I'm not sure, but hard reset doesnt mean you take the batery out.
Please check that link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners#hardreset
I was in your position (hanged on booting) few days ago, and when i did hard reset, it changes every thing to basic normal condition.
i meant when i did a hard reset when it asked me to press space to reboot I took the battery out. I tried again this time pressing space to reboot but I still get stuck on the loading screen. I can't connect by USB to the PC I'm guessing the drivers on the phone haven't loaded and I'm stuck as to what to do.
Does anyone have any ideas?
try look at it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
ok I've tried everything I can think of to connect the 3100 to the computer so I can reflash it but mtty gives only com 1 and com2 but no USB and neither those two work, active sync wont connect so I disabled it as suggested and running the radio ruu and wrapper wont querry the device. I am now at a loss as to what to do next someone must know what I should do. Please?
what is your SPL?

I suggest you check again, press and hold the side OK button and the power button...then put the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the unit.
yeah I've done that it's "SPL-1.09"
I had this exact problem yesterday, with the same bootloader too. The phone would not pass the splash and IT refused to upgrade. I ended up downgrading to a shipped wm5 rom (in my case the cingular 1.30.502.1_1.11.00.00) which to my surprise actually worked as no rom radio or spl upgrade moved at al on my phone. Then upgraded back to black majik. I hope this helps.
Thanks. I downloaded the trial of wm5 from the windows website and it asked me to install .NET framework version 1 so I got that but it turns out to be 2.0 not 1.1 It would say it had repaired but it would say this with or without the phone connected.

Just download a WM5 ROM from the wiki page!
ok tried this too no luck.
Trying to use the one from orange (linked to through wikki) I get an 294 invalid vendor error however active sync cannot connect yet of course so is this to be expected?
I have however gotten a connection with mtty which is a step forward dunno what to do with it yet though except trying the password 0000000000000000 command but it not disabling the password. This then lead me to read for a further hour how to change it and I've got to be honest; it beat me. I have No idea what the hell its talking about. My head hurt with so much reading.
I get a no gsm pop up v briefly on loader. I so want my phone back
I have since tried CID unlocker just so i get something installed onto this brick but I either get a connection error or it telling me it can't install for some other reason. I can not set the password in mtty to 0000000000000000 so how do I do that and is this the first step to getting things sorted? "just running a rom install" is not happening I can get a USB connection in mtty and that is it. Is the fact i'm running SPL 1.09 a problem? I'm getting precious little help guys If i'm posting in the wrong place or something please let me know. I need thing thing back now. Hours are drifting by with me trying to get some head knowledge but I still need some guidance please

can u flashing HARD V7?,i think better u have IPL 1.04 SPL 2.10olipro first ,then try to flashing radio?
and did u try SD card.
In bootloader can anyone here connect with active sync? I can't so updating rom and radio flashes in the usual way isn't possible. Trying the hard spl again it tells me to make sure active sync is connected and as it isn't it throws back a 262 update error. 0% on the hermes and that's currently as far as I can get. I have no means with which to access the memory card.
The reason you get an invalid vendor ID is because your CID doesnt match....download a ROM which is for your device (an orange one?)...then try.
You need to read the wiki alot more before trying anything else since you are not aware of the vendor ID error...nor the fact you MUST use HardSPL.
I linked to the orange ROM from wikki and tried installing it. it was while installing THIS ROM SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407.exe I got invalid vendor error.
Installing a recent DL on HARD spl v7 I get a 240 open file error that's one I haven't had before.
With all other attempts they all say they want an active sync connection.
I can not connect to the phone through active sync
so all attempts by me to flash anything to the phone using an RUU fails.
