Guys, dont worry. You have to be patient.
I had the same problem and following O2 Support suggestion
I returned it to their service center .
Now forty (40) days later I a still waiting for something that had a max turnaround of five working days.
take battery out - start update utility and stop at screen before it starts to install.
put battery in and connect to pc and then click continue
worked for me a while ago... i was just listing steps from my memory so i couldve written something wrong there
The steps are not clear :roll: Do you take battery out and connect atom to pc before starting update utiliy?
you take the battery out so the atom shuts down completely
and then you turn it on/plug it in and immediately run the rom upgrade
if you want to solve this problem use anther pc to upgrade your O2 ATtom
because the problem in your PC not pocket ( A atom) .
i had the same problem before i solve it when i change pc
I tried on three different laptops and it still did the same...would not finish flashing radio rom and now stuck in utility update black screen...any other ways to repair this problem?
ok had this happen to me a few times, seriously cant tell u what worked but keep trying to do soft boot and boot loader, and battery removal and reboot the computer, then try update again...
Each time it happened to me i had to try and try and after a while (maybe its a time thing) it worked amazingly enuff.......i was told to take it back to store, but perserverance won out!!.....
i figured if i have to take it back i have nothing to lose so i tried all the solutions and eventually it responds........
Good luck..
I hope this helps.
I've been fighting with my Atom for a few days and found a fairly reliable solution for the failure to complete the upgrade. I take out my SD card remove the Battery and the SIM, replace the battery and the unit goes into Update Utility. I then connect it to my PC and the USB connected appears on the Atom screen.
I am then able to run the upgrade utility at which point my Atom was previously running. In my case the upgrade that was released in February Xda-Atom-ENG-20060123.exe, this runs through without issue and my Atom is installed cleanly again.
Running a subsequent upgrade, it hangs again in the Update Utility again, but I can restore to the previous version successfully and have done repeatedly.

Hello neilB. Could u, or anybody, tell me where I could find ROM such as yours? I wanna try it to my Atom. Perhaps, God helps me, I could "cure" my Atom which is stuck at "Update Utility" and when I flash its ROM, never pass stage 5.
Thanx in advance. i really appreciate it.

Guys,
Helpful tip, just hard reset your Atom Life and proceed with upgrade. I used this way after 5 times of unsuccessful tries, after I hard reset, it works!
For every unsuccessful try, I learned so much on how to restore my Atom life from dead device. send me a PM if you need help, hope my solution will work also on you. I will try to detail my experiences and post it here if I have time.
do share here? how u revive the atom life every time?
Do you know how to dump the Radio ROM?

I tried to upgrade my ATOM and after running the ROM upgrade, it is stucked in 0% Stage 4. After an hour, I pulled out the cable and tried to restart the device but it gives me a screen "DSUU". I press the record button+reset and removed the SD Card and choose the option 1 (Start OS) and it gives me a revived status but not Text Message option. I tried again and again and it is the same. Last time i tried, I left my device overnight and nothing happened. But when I pulled out the cable and restart the device, it starts just like before and it gives me the original screen and setup and nothing happened to my ROM Upgrade.
I tried again the upgrade by resetting first the ATOM life into factory settings (HARD RESET) and run the upgrade and everything runs smoothly. Now, everything is fixed, and upgraded and I reinstall again the themes, screens that I want.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I am using O2 ATOM Life running in WM6 (ROM Source - seeo2.com)
i upgraded my phone succesfully to wm6.1 (prophet shadow clean) i admit i was a hard trip, althought it was interesting.
but after days of usage i found the following,
1. am not able to send DTMF during the phone call
2. am not able to bring my phone back to Boot Screen so i can install another ROM
SPL: 2.G3.4pda
IPL: 2.09
ROM: prophet shadow CE
QTEK S200
so i tried to use the loader, it works fine and when it tries to restart my phone in the boot screen mode the phone just hangs in a black screen, and when i try to do it manually it also hangs up in that black screen.
till i remove the battery and restart the phone, and it loads the ROM very smoothly again,
i tried to hard reset the phone and try again, but i get the responces,
did anyone experienced these problems ?
btw thanks to dioxda2 and claudy fa for such hard work Thank you guys,

what do u mean by checking my battery it's fully charged 98%

1. How long have you been using your battery?
2. 100% charged is not equal to a healthy battery,
3. normally, the longer year the battery you use, the weaker the battery performs.
4. just .... if you have the other new battery, test the result, or
5. you can also check if the your problem will be the same if AC charger is plugged.
just wanna assist.
1. i have been using my battery for 2 years.
2. battery lifetime varies from 1.5-2 days.
i dont have my AC charger close, so do u know another way to check battery health ?

1. you may connect the usb power to make a softreset, and to see you problem exists or not,
if no more problem, that means the battary MAY BE not healthy enough to bear the
high(for micro electronics) electric consumtion for prophet rebooting.
Good Luck. Just one of the ways to find your answer logically.
By the way, for monitoring your battery, you may use the battery status.
I can't help you with the boot issue, but your DTMF problem is already covered in the CE thread. Just open that thread and use "search this thread" from the top-bar using DTMF as keyword. Your answer will be presented within a split second.
SUCCES!
As for your dialog with dioxda2, I think you are talking about totally different things......

Together we will manage... But you are talking about battery condition as a solution for his "stuck in bootloader" problem? I am under the impression that you misunderstood his question. But then again, it could also be me who misunderstood!
I think the 'battery' may be something to do with the power provided by the USB port.
Try entering bootloader with the AC supply in.

I had the same problem. My only solution - was to buy a new phone. I tried everything, including:
Downgrading to WM5
Upgrading to WM6
WM6.1
Chinese WM5
Arabic WM5
Slowing processor down
Speeding processor up
Opening it up and cleaning all contacts
same with my friends ATOM, any solution yet? this thread was from last month of march.

Please describe what you can see now in the screen of bootloader.
I think I've faced the same problem on my Atom Life before(my device has been dead(due to flashing error), but then cured by myself)... Maybe I can help.
check the site's wiki
there should be something about this.
additionally, have you tried the mini sd card flashing method (you can enter it's bootloader by holding the camera button - if thats the bootloader you're not talking about)
help me to revive my dead o2 atom life
my o2 atom life is not going in bootloader mode after mismatch rom upgrade(it has complete black sceen, i tried all buttons and battery remove and reinsert). please help me

hi manmohan
First thing Dont Panic. There could be several things which might be responsible together making things difficult and confused.
1) Battery have not enough power.
2) Rom installation failed in the middle due to ROM file corruption.
Possible solution (Worth trying out)
----------------------------------
1) For first thing to confirm. Keep battery on charge for 1 hour though nothing is on screen. This will charge no only the main battery but also the internal CMOS battery, which is important. The redlight of charging will show that phone hardware is charging your battery. You are done with BATTERY.
2) Download fresh copy of any compatible rom on your pc. Connect any USB CARD-READER to your PC. Format SD Memory Card in FAT format (also known as FAT16) on your pc. Be sure the card is less than 2GB. If its 1 GB it is better. Copy the AL1.DIO file on SDCARD. You are done with SDCARD.
3) Try installing ROM exactly as mentioned in this THREAD
4) If still this fails, that means your battery is not yet fully charged or not working properly. Go to any mobile shop and ask them to charge the battery to full with thier charging unit and again start from step 1. Also ask the mobile technician if your battery is fine or not.
If battery is above 70% and card is FAT and ROM file is not corrupted, the installation again will go fine and you will be with your mobile again.
THIS MAY HELP, I M NOT SURE, BUT WORTH TRYING OUT THESE BASIC STEPS. HOPE THIS HELPS.
BEST OF LUCK...

Try charging your battery until the amber light turns green (it means it is fully charged).Then try to do a hard reset (pressing the power and reset button simultaneously). It will bring your phone to the last ROM that was installed.
Dear ManMohan
No need to send private emails. May be you are assuming most of us as mobile hardware experts but trust me many of us are not. I am just trying to help.
I am sure, you are very near to solution which you can do on your own. And yes, discussing all this in forum, will help many other people too now and in future, than in private emails.
--------------------------------------------
Try to find Original ROM from O2 website here http://www.myxda.com/romupgrade.aspx Select Atom Life and download Rom Installer for XP version and VISTA version both. Write them on blank CD for future reference, just in case you may need in future. DOWNLOAD THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THEY CLOSE THE SITE AS O2 IS ALREADY TAKEN OVER BY MWG (www.mwg.com)
Try installing this official ROM from your PC with this installer, while your O2 Atom life connected to PC with USB Cable. Even this method also restores many phones from boot error.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Yap Atom Dead bootloader is very annoying
Almost 1 year my Atom life dead or brick.I already Searched even to Service Center in our country and Atom central service in Singapure and china but none of them can fixed this this problem. They Said : "The Only way for fixing this brick atom life just Replace mother board".The Atom which has dead bootloader can not fix with Just press whatever button in your atom or even install New ROM.Cause the one of term for installing the new rom to The ATOM life is port must be detected by USB Computer port.But in this condition your atom life nothing detected by USB Port computer.Reasonly you can not nothing to do.But FYI if you have contact person in China precisely in Quanta Computer Manufacturer especially in Maintenance or engineering, I think there's only hope.But In the world there's nothing imposible to do.Until now I am still keeping my brick atom dead life, waiting someone can solve this problem. many thx.

I am building jtag hardware. I will try to flash boot loader using linux taken from this site.
HTML:
http://www.nrs.pt/pub/projects/acuv2/doc/mel-colibri/html-chunk/mel.bininstall.html
It is also possible to use windows, but some parts of the program is missing. Still, I am having a hard time to build the jtag hardware, taken some parts from nokia dct3 flasher.
Had the same problem and after about 15 days of its brick status I took it out and charged and after 100 % charged installed the official "Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2" and then subsequently the PDAVIET ROM 6.1 with AL1.DIO.
can you explain the procedure in detail.?
