Help required, please! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

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

XDA GSM error after upgrading to WM2003

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

Upgrade Disaster on XDA2

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,
Same problem for me!
Please let me know how it can be solved.
:evil:
I am in the same deep **** ma self! please any1 who knows please help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

XDA1 with GSM ERROR on bootloader 1.51

I upgraded a TMobile XDA1 got the main ROM upgrade then went and tried to upgrade the radio stack. As I see from the many posts a bad thing to do. But this leaves me with a broken unit. The radio was T310. I can not see how I can solve this problem. I have an SD card, I have a friends German unit with an ENG Rom and the orignal radio which I will leave alone. How can I fix mine?
Thanks
GSM error on Bootload 1.50
Looks pretty much the same as my problem. By pressing the joystick after the error message, I get one step further, but no contact or upload of the ROM. I hope some wise person can supply an answer, :roll:
I have the same problem...
XDA O2 on Wallaby BootLoader v5.15 I see the error : "GSM ERROR"
my pda don´t start good I only see the rom version (3.17.03) and a blue wallpaper of O2..
I already update my rom but it don´t work yet !
Where can I find a GSM rom update? I'm from Portugal
What more can I do ?
Please, help me !
thanks

GSM Error
I have tried a number of solutions. None seem to work. If someone has the GSM rom and a solution to upload it let us know. I have tried coping a new radio version to the windows dir on the PPC, this fails. I have removed the back cover and battery again this does not work. The only alternative is to send it back for repair (expensive) or get a new one. I have looked at the solutions in the forum area and on the web but can not find an answer. The unit is an old TMobile (GERMAN) Xda. Upgraded the OS OK then messed up the radio. So as I say let me know if someone has a proven solution. Thanks.
How to fix GSM Error Problem ....
Download the XDA-Developers ROM Version 1.1.
Install the ROM on your Device via SD-Card and bootloader.
The phone should start up and give you the screen allignment and the whole menu!
Download an Upgrade for your device. This depends ont the model you are using. Check the sticker at the back of your device.
If it is a PW10A-Model download RSU Version 4.16.
If it is a PW10B-Model download RSU Version 6.24.20.
Extract the downloaded ZIP-File and copy all files to the /Windows directory of your device.
Copy the RSUpgrade.exe additional to the /windows/startup directory.
Make an soft reset of your device.
Maybe the upgrade will stop again at 1%, this may occur when you have an empty battery.
Place your device in the cradle. Run Active Sync on your device.
The RSU Upgrade will run in the background.
Wait for about 10 Minutes. The upgrade should complete in the background....
Afterwards all should work again...
Good luck....

GSM Error
Many thanks for the information. I have tried this but to sorry to say this does not work for me. I can get the RSUgrade.exe to load on the PDA, it stops at 1% and then hangs. The XDA was a TMobile GER unit with 32Mb. I have two units the same, I attempted to upgrade the radio on one and it failed at 10% rebooted and hung with GSM error. Since then I am at a loss as to the next step apart from throwing it in the bin.
same here
it always promt me failed flash device restart press ok. wat the hell is dis . does my gsm rom id basted?day i cant upgrde it tnx
Same problem..
.. and no solution for the GSM Error. There is no possibility to get a connect (O2 germany) and the RSU-Utility stops after 1% - always.
Please help!
Have you tried leaving it for 24 hours with the 1% on screen?
Flash failed
The problem is that there is a message "Flash failed - press ok to restart."
No possibility to leave the program..
same w u
ya i wish someone can find any sol 4 our prob. same problem w u guys.

Vario II crashed

Hi,
I did the popular mistake, tried to unlock with Universal Unlocker , thinking that this is the staff to unlock all the HTC phones.
Ok. What I have now:
NO GSM - we know that
Tried to install radio roms from here, nothing. I got the information about "Checking the information...." and it is hanging like this.
I made reser and HARD RESET aswell.
I tried to install a lot. Nothing helped.
I had radio ver. 1.05.... I remember that. I have my phone from T-Mobile from UK. I had everything nice, now I have four stripes - RED GREEN BLUE and WHITE and ther is written:
HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.04
Can anybody help me ? I tried to download mtty.exe and put all the commands (not PASTE and it still not working.
Now is 6am in Lisbon. I was sitting all that night and I am finishing writting this post.
Help if you can, regards.

Have a look on this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280733
It did not help. Where I can get this Qtek rom ? Is that OK for my device ? I have VARIO II from T-Mobile.
I woul like to try instal this - DUMPED English ROM from TMobile Vario II from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_DumpedRoms
but i dont now how. There are 3 .raw files, how to put them to my phone ?
That solution didnt help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280733
What else I can do ? I was trying with QTEK rom and a got white screen on the phone and 0% on the computer. It was hanging. I tried 5 times. Then I tried to install the Radio Rom from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
I choosed all of them. Nothing. All of them are hanging on:
Chencking the information on your device... Please wait..
Then there is a screen to update. After long time. So when I press the button is still the same info. Checking the information on your device... Please wait..
And its hanging. When I reset to bootloader again the soft telling me:
This ROM Upgrade Utility does not design for your device.
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:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
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.
Where can I download

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 ?

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

ROM Upgrade failure, please help.

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
Ben
