Hi all,
I upgrade my PDA feaw times before and everythink went good before, therefore I just download newest version of W2005 system. I plug my himalaya into the replication dock and start the upgrade. The system was transfered into the device without any error and when everythink finish successfully, I remove the device from dock and try to restart it and execute new system but I was supprised becaurse I saw on the display just logo O2 which was in previous installation of pda with loading screen.
Now when I start the device I just see that first spash-screen and the device freeze. I can't do any cool boot or any other action. When I put the device into dock, the windows identify the pda as "network adapter".
Do I have any possibility, how to revert the W2005 installation ?
What can you recomend me ?
I believe you can use a SD card to flash to WM2003 SE again..
Not sure how, though..
Search a little, and I'm sure it will work out just fine!

hey there been a member for sometime and have tried to search for a solution to my problem and am abit confused.
and sorry if its such a newb question (dont burn me for it)
i have an o2 atom exec (using RC3 rom with touchflo) and yesterday i /soft reseted/ the phone because it was acting funny, after the reset it would be stuck at the startup screen and would not load past that the whole day, so i waited and re-tried in the evening.. the same thing occured... i was at the time able to load into bootloader (MN2) but then could do nothing else.. so i searched throughout the forums and found a post by 'chartreux' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1684559&highlight=EBOOT.NB0 but had not read the entire post and proceeded to load (mn1) onto my phone via mini sd card and it worked, my phone was working again, it performed a hard reset and restored it to factory settings (ie: calendar, msgs, contacts, software all gone) and phone is working normally again... since it has done this i wanted to update to 'wm6.1 atom exec rom' just to be up-to-date and have synced it via activesync and have run "DSUU" but my phone just restarts and loads the current rom i have installed! and just repeats everytime i have tried (have tried atleast 50 times)
so my main question.. is my bootloader dead? i know my phones not bricked since its still working perfectly im just not able to upgrade my ROM but can still do everything else (such as browse through files, run programs, make calls)
and last of all.. can anybody please help?! as i am at the point running the phone over with my car!

what version of your bootloader now? MN2 or MN1? if still MN1 please read again the thread to update your bootloader to MN2 (since your device is ATOM EXEC).
and after done, please check when you run DSUU, see on the left bottom whether have a drop down box or not? if yes then choose "ALL"
hope this can help to solve your problem.
hey! thanks for the reply mate!
but im not sure i cant check the version of my bootloader...
wont let me get into it by pressing camera+SR or camera+off button..
just boots straight into the operating system.
and, as for the DSUU it just restarts the phone after i choose all, and goes through to the today screen on the phone, and as for the DSUU update its stays at the screen which shows "The current software is now being updated from your device."
followed by an error appearing after a few minutes showing " No download target was found!!" even though my atomexec is synced
which is then followed by the "connection error" screen.
please help.. this is seriously pissing me off...

try to downgrade again your bootloader to MN1 (please do it step by step). as long you can secure your bootloader, hopefully you can resolved your problem.
remember to upgrade again to MN2 once you able to downgrade to MN1 before try flashing to wm6.1.
good luck.
still cant access bootloader.. even when trying DSUU it just boots straight into the operating system, when trying to update and also i tried the MN1 bootloader again and tried to get into it... still nothing.. it just resets, i tried it with my 4GB mini sd, 2gb msd, and a 64mb mini sd.. could not get into it... sigh...
Ok try a deep breath and read all the posts on dead boatloaders and other upgrading problem posts through and through. Then try to change ur USB cable and what system are u using i.e XP or Vista????
thankyou kindly, for the suggestions i have been reading through alot of posts and tried alot but.. nothing so far.. i guess its not too bad since its stuck on windows mobile 6 with abusalzas rom..
im just annoyed i cannot upgrade to the latest 'rom' and since my phone 'had' to perform a hard reset why not update so yeh.. and i am using windows xp for my computers os.
Did u change the USB cable mate, once I had to do it and the interesting thing is that the same USB cable was working perfectly for other things but causing problems when connecting to my Atom Exec.
yeh tried it with my old v3 cable didnt work has the same outcomes.. sigh.. i might try that dead bootloader hardware and software recovery from this post by Alex_Beda & 1stMASTER

o2 atom bootloader
hello
my o2 atom bootloader screen mn1 dignostic manger screen remains after rom flashing .i tried flashig orginl rom and pedvit rom but bootloader screen comes again .not starting my mobile please help
Greetings,
my sisters qtek 8500 suddenly started to freeze after the PIN code, at the startupslash screen and it doesn't go any further. therefore my intention was to reinstall it, via a new and better rom, but unfortunately the phone isn't Super CID, and so that my screen doesn't work (although active sync does recognize the phone and it is possible to explore the files) it is impossible to do it via this itsutl thing (I tried it and it always throws out the same kind of error - "ERROR: Unable to open WinCE file '\windows' - Returned by WSARecv or WSARecvFrom to indicate the remote party has initiated a graceful shutdown sequence". it obviously is because of me being unable to access the screen.
so that it is impossible to install a newer ROM and I cannot hard reset the device (not able to go the clear storage and moreover somehow the hard reset via pressing both soft buttons doesn't work either), I wanted to ask whether someone has somewhere around lying a link for the old qtek 8500 ROM 1.02.252.1 ? I could try to install it once again on the phone and hope that it could fix this issue. or maybe any other ideas what to do? I would really appreciate it.
As far as i know you don't have to do anything on the phone itself when you use the update utility provided with the ROM.
You could give the last official Qtek ROM a try, you can download it via the Wikipedia topic from this forum (sticky) or the qtek support site:
http://www.qtek.nl/8500_updates.asp
(sorry....in dutch...but doesn't matter for the ROM, it's the last download link on the page)
Hope it works,
Karin
I had tried out this ROM already several times, and it still gives the "INVALID VENDER ID" error at the 4%, it's a bit weird, because it is the official ROM, but still - no idea, why.
hoping that someone has the old ROM
How to flash:
1) make an application unlock
1.5) make a SuperCID (optional)
2) copy content of SSPL folder (in the archive) to the root of your device
3) run SPL.lnk
4) run ROM Update Utility.exe (from RUU directory in the archive) on your PC
5) follow the instructions
6) wait until flash process will be completed
steps from 2 to 4
of course, I do know how to do it, have done it many times on my ppc, but the thing is - I cannot make it Super CID, because of being unable to access my screen. therefore I am searching for a rom , for which I do not need a Super CID.
How about just do a hard reset?
Turn the device off. Press and hold both the left and right soft keys while powering the phone on. You will get a request to enter 0 to continue, pressing 0 will perform a hard reset.
that's another weird thing - it doesn't work. I am sure I am doing it correctly with holding the soft keys and turning it on, but still it doesn't work with these hard resets. I'm really confused, googled it up a much and found none else with such a problem.
maybe you got an idea how to make a hard reset without the clear storage or holding these soft keys or is it simply impossible?
it's actually a bit more weird - while I am performing everything for a hard reset (both soft keys and turning on) it goes into the boatloader screen
somehow got it into a hard reset, now waiting how it will react.
FINALLY it worked - everything is okey, you can lock this thread.
fyi on factory reset
the correct way to factory reset is to press and release the power button, then press the 2 dash keys, hold until instructions appear then press 0
I've tried to search to see if anybody has ever encountered a problem like this, but my search was in vain.
I was trying to upgrade ROM, I successfully load SPL 3.5, before it I was running AP dual 3.0. However after the installation the device rebooted and the started auto customisation. It installed SDAautorun and then SDConfig.txt but before this one completes, the device reset itself. It restarted and do the same process again and again, just restart and restart.
I tried all types of resets and I even tried to reinstall other roms that worked with the device before but nothing is any good. This is because when the device boots it load the SPL 3.5 (Windows mobile 6.1) instead of installing the ROM I'm trying to install.
I get a chance to do so as the device can still connect to the computer and it stops when it prompts to callibrate the screen (tap four corners and center of the screen)
Please help me if there is anything I could do to start using my device again. I appriciate any support in advance. It is very possible that I've messed up something somewhere but please once again do help me, even if the by telling me that my Ameo is a brick that would help me to know what I've got to do.
NB: My device is T Mobile Ameo (Athena, Advantage X7500)
I followed the instructions on the youtube vid tutorial thread to install Android Nand and now when I boot up my phone, it is frozen on the splash screen (white background with green HTC text). I cant even flash a stock ROM on to the phone as it is not sync'd with my laptop.
Oh and I used HSPL, but Im not sure which version. Apparently I need to use version 2.08. Anyway to check it?
Can anyone help out pls. Thanks.
Your phone is not bricked.
You need to go to HTC's website for your country and download the ROM - you will need to use your phone's serial number to get the download. If you are allowed to download the ROM (not the 3.14 version, as you want to run Android from NAND), then that ROM will work on your phone. If you get an 'invalid' message, then you need to try another ROM (as your phone may be branded to the telecom company).
If you are going to use the SD card method of flashing the ROM, then make sure that the SD is less than 8GB.
You don't need to use ActiveSync, just boot the phone into Bootloader mode (press and hold the Volume Down button and then tap the Power button). The bottom of the screen will say 'Serial' and when you then plug it into your computer it will change to 'USB'. You can then run the ROM and just tick the box about Activesync.
Thanks for your help problem is now solved.
I bought a htc hd2 from ebay, it came with Android on it. The phone kinda works perfect, but would of preferred windows on it. Is there any way to go back!
I tried a few walk through's that just did nothing to the phone,.
I'll try to give as much info as I can
When I turn phone on it goes to a load screen, then says Dark Force Team
Android 2.2
baseband version 12.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14
kernel- 2.6.32.15-g66fed7-dirtycotulla-cotulla-desktop#2
build 2.29.405.5 cl293415 release-keys
software number 2.229.405.5
browser version 3.1
When I power off and hold volume Down The bootload screen says
Pb81120 hx-b3
Spl-2.08 hspl 8g xe
I have no clue what any of this means, Just know I want the original windows on phone, everything I have tried has failed.
After you turn on ur phone with the volume down key pressed, its gonna take u to the bootload screen (the rainbow screen) ... plug ur phone to ur computer, and flash ur hd2 with any winmo6.5 ROM

Spl-2.08 hspl 8g xe suggests almost every ROM for T is suitable,if you have a wm6.5 ROM,change it into "leoimg.nbh",then press volume down and power to start phone,soon you can see a situation of flashing in screen,press power to do it so you will get your windows later
IMO you shouldn't switch back to Windows

If you want to switch back to Windows Mobile, perform a hard reset by holding down both the Vol-Up and Vol-Down buttons at the same time as you press the power button. This will take you to a screen that says "Delete all phone and account data" or something along the lines of this. Two screens will pop up after this, on both, press Vol-Up as prompted.
Although you would like to switch to Windows, I would discourage it, as the Windows Mobile Marketplace has been discontinued, and in turn limits the use of your phone.

Hi, thanks for the idea But it didn't work as advised. My data's are still the same.
That's holding onto the lower and upper vol button with power button.
thanks
Hard reset won't work as you have nand android so a reset would just reset Android ...
Going back to WM6.5 is good idea & no market is no problem as a simple search will bring up all the apps you need as cabs & with a lot of feedback on quality & best versions unlike the 5h1te on android market.
You should be able to flash from pc if you have ActiveSync(XP) or WMDC6.1(Vista,W7.W8)
*Before flashing confirm your HD2 type as EU version (all white icon hard keys) or TMOUS HD2 (geen call & red end keys)
** If have TMOUS extra care is needed as flashing wrong radios wil leave device bricked.
1. Download a Stock Rom or Custom ROM using links from HD2 Wiki
2. Enter Bootloader Mode by taking the battery out, then put it back in and hold down the 'Volume Down' button while briefly pressing the power button.
3. After the phone enters the Bootloader Screen, plug in the usb cable so it says usb at the bottom of the screen
4. Run the Stock Roms .exe file (or run the customruu.exe file of the Custom Rom you want to flash)
* This will flash a Stock Rom and Radio(if use original ROM with radio included) while keeping your HardSPL untouched *
You may be wise use the CleanEx RV standard v1.02 custom ROM as gives a very original generic ROM but with many bug fixes & smoother running.
All other tools such as HSPL4 for installing a new SPL or HSPL & Activesync & WMDC6.1 can be found in HD2 Wiki too if you have a little browse ...

This is very helpful, but I still have some questions. I'd like to go back to a stock 6.5 Windows ROM, because my phone has a number of bad NAND blocks at this point, which have been rendering it very unstable even with older stable Android ROMs. I have HSPL 2.08 installed and the phone is T-Mo US version.
From what I understand, I need to have a running sync connection with Windows Mobile Device Center to flash a stock ROM, no? When pressing volume down, I get into the HSPL bootloader mode, and it connects as "USB", and the WMDC status says "disconnected". Is there some special way of getting it into the proper flashing mode before running the stock ROM .exe?
And also, for the U.S. version of the stock ROM, it looks like it doesn't come bundled with a radio. Do I install the radio before or after flashing the Windows ROM?
EDIT: looks like just running the .exe flashed the 6.5 ROM just fine, and it did come with a radio bundled
EDIT #2: but... big problem is that the SIM card is not being recognized "SIM card is missing" error.

The official US TMOUS rom came packaged with radio, you could try reflashing radio (look in HD2 wiki, also one in my signature).
Highly likely your no sim error could be due to bad blocks/hardware, try obvious things too such as cleaning sim contacts & perhaps adding tape to back of sim so pushes harder on contact pins.

Thank you--that was a major "derp" on my part (inserted the SIM card incorrectly, trying to be fast). Apologies for forgetting to update my post. Everything is working now!

Stock rom won't help you to fight against bad blocks
You may try to perform Task29 before flashing the rom. Besides - any custom rom is better than stock because it has smaller size than TMOUS stock.
