My XDAII died horribly when trying to downgrade from wm2005 to wm2003se (it is stuck in bootloader, i've tried everything, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21848&highlight=).
I have had to buy a new device and went for an Ipaq h6340 but its RUBBISH compared to my beloved xdaII. I am desperate to get the xdaII working again with any rom version at all.
Can anyone suggest anything at all?
Are you facing 'Country ID error' too? If you do, get urself a copy of er2003edit.. If not, would you mind giving more details how this error occured? Maybe I can help..
There follows a detailed account of my xda problems...
1. The xda is stuck in bootloader mode, the screen shows "Serial v1.01" in black text even after all (button pressing combinations of) hard resets.
2. When placed in the (mains powered, usb connected) cradle the screen shows "USB v1.01".
3. On running Himaupgradeut, and clicking next, i get the "checking the pocket pc..." message, after 30 seconds the XDA II turns itself off.
4. The confirmation screen appears on the PC after another 20 seconds or so with the upgrade and cancel buttons. No current device versions are displayed. As the xda has powered itself off the upgrade does not work.
5. On removing the xda from the cradle the xda shows "Serial v1.01" in black text on a red line background.
6. On replacing the xda in the cradle the xda shows "USB v1.01" in black text on a red line background. Retrying the upgrade procedure produces the same results.
I have also tried upgrading/flashing from the SD Card but get the error message ROM image is wrong size. I get no other error messages.
I am not an expert, but I just recover my dead XDA II device last night. Maybe you needed to take care the following items. That I have over look.
1. Connect directly to the USB port and don't use USB hub.
2. Hard reset each time before upgrade again.
3. Make sure that Windows can detect the device as "Microsoft Sync......". In the web some people say it is not a must. But I found that I can upgrade my device only when the device is successfully detected.
Before successful recover the dead device. I always got communicate problem to Pocket PC.
Hopes my experience can help.
Hi Cojones, had exactly the same problem.
Follow the instructions from the previous poster (tscshk), not through usb hub, etc direct on motherboard. I also removed the usb connection, reset my PC, so it cleared all activesync/usb settings, device on the cradle, THEN connect to usb.
If you see the 'found new hardware/device...' dialog etc, then it should work. (mine did, twice! can't resist playing) :wink:
Also I downloaded the original Roms direct from the O2 site and used those to get back to 'standard'.
HTH
ah, thanks for your help everyone. I managed to get hold of an upgrade that didn't check country id and that did the trick. I now have my cherished xdaII back...hooray.

:roll: my device O2 xda died on me yesterday. I was performing the upgrade recommanded on myxda.com. Program A went alright and created a connection with my PC. Program B missed things up. The device showed a message on the phone interface saying"Wireless is not connected, please switch on wireless. I did not know how to do that and I entered my SIM PIN but didn't work. The device fooze and didn't respond to any thing. I did soft reset. again the same message and the device foze. I did a hard reset and it got worse. The device opens on the O2 screen (blue page) then switched to a blank white screen with the keyboard icon at the lower right hand corner and this has been the case since yesterday.
I can't establish connection to my PC and try to reinstall the Programs A&B again cause I did the hard reset and the device is limp. Please anyone help those who are in the lower end of the Technology ladder.
thanks you in advance

I haven't had this problem but the symptom sounds the same as yours.
Maybe here
I had the same I think.

My atom is turned off. Can't even go to bootloader mode, or do hard reset - no any response
Last resort: Take out the battery and leave it out for a while, and then put it in again. It may work.
Already did, left it for all night, but nothing. Maybe it has some another engenier menu?

Did you get a resolution? Facing the same issue. Happened on holiday when I tried to do a soft reset. Completely out of ideas on how to resolve...... Help
i am having the exactly same problem
is there any senior can help us
I got the same problem but with my gigabyte gsmart i300
I've had the similar problem with my old XDA 2. The problem was then that when I'd gone to soft reset, the pin had somehow jammed in. Thus, the phone would continually reset and would appear blank. So check that on yours, make sure that the reset pin is actually coming back out.
I have the exact same problem when upgrading XDA II... When I upgrade the Windows Mobile I mistakenly plug off the connection while it still installing.. Then the screen goes black blank.. waht I do after that is connect again the XDA to the craddle.. and do the installation progress again.. It works for me back then.. But my other friends who have the same problem does not that lucky and his XDA II just goes blank.. I've already check the see02.com...
and this is how they solve the problem:
Should the installation process be interrupted or terminated abnormally, you might encounter the following screen on your device.

and you may also see the following screen in your PC.
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l221/rusadi/XdaAtomROM_Jan2006_Step9b.jpg
When this happens, restart your PC and ensure all other running applications stopped. After that, restart your device and connect the device to your PC with USB cable. The following screen should appear.

Repeat the installation procedures except that ActiveSync will be shown as Not Connected.
HI Guys,
I've got a really annoying problem with my TG01. When i have it connected to the computer it will not stay connected in ActiveSync mode. It connects for a minute or so then will just disconnect on its own.
I've tried using the advanced funtionality selection and without it but the same occurs.
It's not an issue for syncing as i sync using the Gmail push features so this occurs wirelessly, but the issue occurs when copying files across to the phone as it will disconnect while transferring.
Also when i put into USB storage mode it seems to freeze the computer - sometimes it doesn't and will just open up fine.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or know how to fix it - it's driving me insane...
Oh i'm using Vista X64 and Windows Mobile Device Centre if it helps.
Cheers
Paul

I've encountered an identical problem after flashing the new update UK-ROM(on xp and activesync), I managed to resolve it somehow, unfortunately I cannot remember which way... Something in activesync settings & device id, I guess...
Try other name for device id, my advice...
I use my TG01 on a Mac. Unless I plug the TG01 into a USB port on the machine directly (strictly no USB hubs, even powered ones) I get this problem, whether using Mass Storage mode (allows direct access by the Mac OS to the SD Card as normal) or ActiveSync mode (which I can connect to a 'virtual' Windows XP machine running under Parallels in a Mac Window) for those programs (Apps?) that need to be installed via ActiveSync.
May be an obvious suggestion, but have you tried different USB sockets?
Failing that, do you have Internet Connection Sharing switched on on the Windows machine? Could any Anti-Virus software be trying to block the serial ports on the TG01. Or have you any other Sync or virtual serial port drivers (Satnav, Palm, iPod etc) or similar type of sync software running that might be periodically polling the USB ports?
Time for a handset swap

I had the same problem with my first TG01. Only solution I could find was to get Orange to swap the handset for another one.
I do think that it's a hardware problem as (1) my replacement handset never displayed this problem, despite having the exact same software/configuration and (2) an internet search on this problem showed at least one other user resolving it with a handset replacement.
Thanks for the suggestions guys - checked Virus scanner and Firewall but the same is occuring.
Looks like i'll have to give Orange a call.
Will they swap it for a new one or will it be a refurb? And how long does it take?
Also i am a contract customer but bought this phone on PAYG and just swapped the sim over - will they still be ok with replacing it?
Well i recieved my replacement this morning and have another replacement coming tomorrow.
The replacement was scratched and scuffed on all its corners, it looked like it had been dropped and one of the corners is coming apart.
The first call i made, the other person said they could only hear screeching like bad feedback between mic/speakers.
Not happy.... Let's see what the next replacement is like..
i found a way to make the tg01 staying connected to a pc: goes in setup/connections/usb to pc then uncheck the advanced fonctionnalities.

Tried that mate - it was a fault with the handset, the replacement connects fine, but is in poor condition and people can't hear me - so this ones going back too.

Well that's not very fair!! I always keep a screen protector on and only keep my phone in an empty pocket so if I simply put a cloth over it, I could pass it off as brand new! Now what happens if I need a replacement? I would expct to receive one in the same condition as mine Did you have to send the original first or did they send you a replacement and then you send yours back?
yh guys

Yes, It's very annoying, I've been using Windows mobiles for ages and never have had this problem before. On TG01 with WM6.1 and WM6.5 as well, Active Sync cuts the connection after few minutes, randomly.
I've tested different programs to connect TG01 with PC like Pocket Controller (different revisions) without success. That's something related to TG01, because I have a Xda Flame and I can connect perfectly and indefinitely with it (I use XP Professional and ActiveSync 4.5.0) .
The only roundabout that I've found is connecting to PC towards Wifi instead of towards USB port (TCP/IP Connection). With Pocket Controller I can see my TG01 on the PC screen an edit text, interchange files, perfectly even if my device is in another room....
This is an issue that should be fixed with a coocked ROM ( but perhaps it's related to a hardware problem.. who knows?)
Cheers
If you are using vista or win 7 set up to your phone the "usb mode" at "activesync mode" without checking the "enable advanced.....".
Plug your phone to the usb port and go to the "device manager" of your pc, look where it says "mobile devices" click on it and at "microsoft usb sync"
do right click with your mouse and select uninstall driver. Your driver will be uninstall and after this will be reinstall alone.
To the new driver right click with mouse and select update driver, after a while it will give you the message that no updates found.
Close it leave to pass 2-3 minutes and go run "windows update" with your phone pluged on pc (don't unplug the phone on all the steps),
you'll see that is an update about 11mb (if you haven't allready install it) both for pc and phone. Your phone will be connect but maybe in future have the same problem,
in this case you uninstall and reinstall the driver from device manager and will be connect.
Now if you want to transfer files from pc to phone is better to set the "usb mode" of your phone at "mass storage mode" and transfer them at sd card.
Bought a touch pro knowing that the backlight on the screen works, but that the actual screen doesn't. I've tried connecting it to the computer and it said it that the phone needs to be unlocked first...i was going to see if I could unstall SOTI on there and use the computer to view the screen and stuff...i've tried hard resets and I'm lost can anyone help.
Bad screen or flex cable
Open and close the handset while it is turned on, if it flickers or you see any color or shape goasting then the flex cable is needs replacing.
If you can see the backlight on, and nothing changes then look for impact damage, usually something/somone fell on it.
If no damage markings, then the unit is probably locked, an no one knows the code.
Contact seller for more info?
I haven't try to recover a locked TP yet.
But, If your up to trying something. Find the correct "Service Provider" up-date or original shipped ROM from HTC support, this forum or PPCGeeks.com.
With the shipped .exe ROM packages, the TP can be put in bootloader and "Clean Flashed" without needing to be unlocked or add anything.
This how updated ROM are delivered and installed from HTC.
Hope this bit of info helps. I have the Last Alltel .exe if you need it.
Thanks for the info but sadly that didn't work. The loader says it can't establish a connection.
Well update got the phone to hard reset and now it's unlocked can anyone walk me though what happens after the hard reset. Like after the hard reset what screens show up show that i can set this up without the screen and use my SOTI program to view the screen on the computer

Here is the thing. The rom is going to start up doing the initial setup (calibration, time zone selection, etc). Mymobiler might work better since it installs via activesync and connects to the device the moment you plug it in. Give that a go and see if it works.
Thank you i will try that
Probably not the right place to ask but is there someway i can install a program on the phone without any kind of input from myself...ie putting mymobiler or similar cab file and having it run it when i inserted the memory card and i not having to make any kind of inputs on the screen? seeing as i can't see anything?

If you put an autorun file in the root of the card pointing to that cab, you should be able to do this. However, the device will ask you if you want to install to memory or storage. I guess if you simply press the "Enter" button (circle in the D-pad), it might just do it.
Hello,
I experience a very weird problem with my HD2.
When I want to connect my HD2 to pc then my pc (and other pc's) doesn't recognize my phone, nothing happens. Also my phone isn't giving me the option between "Activesync" "Disk drive" or "Internet sharing". (Altough the option to ask it on connection is turned on under settings). So not an active sync problem I guess. The usb doesn't seems dead because it still charges, on my HD2 the power sign comes up when I connect the usb to pc and the led is on. When I pull it out then the led goes off and the power sign dissapears. But no "data" connection is possible anymore.
Is something broken in my registry? I tried soft resetting several times.
No hard reset yet but I am waiting to do this, maybe someone here knows the answer.
I started experience the problem after I used Tomtom last week ( i used it alot already) . I experienced a problem that my HD2 was stuck in "Carkit mode" thus when someone called me he flipped the screen and putted speaker on. Even when I set it off under settings it. Navipanel was also turned on. I downloaded the hotfix from HTC for Navipanel and now that problem is gone. My phone is again in normal mode when I call or receive calls. BUT the usb data connection doesn't seems to be working anymore .
Someone here knows the magic answer ?
Can you post the Radio version and ROM version you are using?
ROM version : 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Radio version : 2.06.51.07
Have you ever changed the ROM on your device or is all still origional as you got it from the store?
If origional:
1) bring it back for repair, since its not your fault
2) or install HSPL change your radio and rom
I would just send it for repair when that happens. Specially when its in origional state.
I had this problem once but at the moment i connected the phone through a USB Hub
No it is the official upgrade rom from htc site.
Phone is acting weird also.
Everytime someone is calling it puts the speaker on .
Maybe I try a hard reset for this "fkd up" software?
Would this help?
Hmm did a hard reset and the problem persists.
No usb data connection.
Speaker turns to loud when someone is calling me.
Screen flips sometimes.
Guess it is a hardware problem.
Going to turn it in.
Although I completely agree that your unit is probably on the fritz, take into account that the MicroUSB cable can be the problem as well when it comes to connecting to your pc. I bought some Ebay cables and my phone wouldn't connect properly with those. Charging was no problem.
Yes it is on the fritz i guess.
The problems started suddenly and I also tried another usb cable who was also working fine before.
I managed to get connection yesterday just once after pushing it in the phone and moving it a bit. So I guess the usb input is broken or the motherboard. Guess it is the motherboard because of the other weird problems (when want to call someone the screen turns vertically and puts the speaker on), also when i got called. And this after a fresh hard reset.
Hope they will replace the unit without a hassle.
