Sorry for probably being a typical newbie but I have just had my o2 XDAii unlocked which works great but I have lost all of my o2 goodies like camera/mms/sms/wap/profiles etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction with regards to restoring these. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks. :?
Unlocking shouldnt do that, if you remove the battery it should put it back to factory settings.
Thanks for the reply. It was unlocked for me by a friend (mobile shop owner) not using software from here. I have tried the battery but still no joy. Any ideas how I can get all my o2 features back? Cheers
ok, have you tried pushing the stylus in the reset hole at the base of the xda2 while holding down the power switch, this is a hard reset so you will lose all your data unless you backup first.
You am de man!!!!!
I have had an Ipaq for 2 years and never thought of doing a hard reset......Doh!
Cheers mate and thanks for the quick responses.
I am once again a happy xdaii user.
Ps. What are the best upgrades to perform on this machine cause I am just getting my head around all this firmware/radio version stuff :?:
Personally I am waiting for the O2 official upgrade. I dont wish to knacker my new machine just yet.
re unlocked xda2
if your phone has gone back to factory standard... as in ... useless... goto storage and find the file backup. its hidden somewhere.... double click that and the xda2 ought to return to normal with all functionality.

lost all my functionality after hard reset
I did a hard reset on my xda 2 and have lost the camera,mms and most of the great things on the xda2. I tried to find that backup file but with no luck.
Please can someone help me get this thing functioning properly.
Thanks

please help, ive upgraded the rom from the o2 website and it has lost all the O2 software on the phone (which may not be a bad thing) but it has lost all the pre installed connection settings for the internet.
any ideas how to solve this or reset it back to its original rom settings
cheers guys
dazza
A hard reset should restore the settings, I dont understand why the settings are missing, did it go through the auto configuration routine where you choose your country and gsm/gprs prepay etc.?
Hi Dazza,
Mine did the same. I just have "USB v1.01" on the screen whilst it's in its USB cradle. If I take it out it displays "Serial v1.01". Pushing the Hard Reset buttons, and even removing the Battery just results in the same display.
Have you resolved it yet please?
Desperately yours,
Andy
It's mean you have fail to upgrade your Xda II ROM. Anda the ROM have been formated. You can put the Xda in the cradle, and run the original ROm 1.60.44. Good luck!
My touch screen suddenly stopped working, anyone had this happen to them? As far as I know I didn't do anything to provoke this i.e drop it or make any software changes. I tried a hard reset and still no luck.. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks

if it ujust stopped working and you have done a hard rest (formated teh device and reinstalled ) and its still the same then id say most likely faulty(which you probley already guessd)
if you got it as an account upgrade get in touch with ur network service provider and get them to replace the device if you bought it from a 3rd party try to return it if you can, if you are unable get in touch with HTC all the best
nass
Thanks
Yea I tried hard reset and all that, you're right my guess was that its faulty. So I'll be paying cingular a visit tomorrow. I just finished flashing the cingular splash screens back to the device and original os back to the device with the mtty program, luckily I figured all that out because otherwise I couldn't get past the sceen alignment stage to do a regular rom update.

The best way to clear any "funny" status on the hardware is to give it a "Russian Reset": power off the phone and then on again. If that doesn't solve your problem then take it in for repairing.
(Russian Reset is a term I heard many moons ago from a Finnish DEC SW engineer regarding PC hangs that would not clear with Ctrl+Alt+Delete but could only be solved by switching off and on.)
Through the turnstyle
Well since my 8525 is 1 month and two weeks I have to send it into cingular's warranty department. The one thing I am concerned about is that I want to make it appear that it had never been modified again. Unfortunately I am not able to do a regular rom update because I can't get the thing past the setup stage because it requires me to tap the screen and do the screen alignment to continue, and thus it won't let me make an active sync connection to do the rom update. I was able to use mtty to get the OS, EXT ROM and splash screens back to original, and I was able to get it back to bootloader 1.04 (Is this the stock bootloader for the 8525?), but I haven't figured out how to downgrade the radio yet. Any suggestions? I think I have radio version 1.27 right now, if anyone knows what the stock radio version is for the 8525 let me know. I want to get this thing back to normal so when I send it in through warranty they don't tell me I am out of luck..
Thanks
Seeps
Put device in bootloader mode and flash the stock rom (cingular 1.34). You don't need activesync at all.
Thanks
That worked. Now I can rest a little easier sending it back.
Trying to downgrade with mtty
when i run mtty i cant see a usb option how do I get it to see one??? the mtty ver i have 1.6 but i reaaly need a hand cause i have the same issue with the dead screen
Hi to all. I solve my problem. Change myself motherboard. I buy second hand hermes with no working keyboard for 100eu (latter I solve even this problems,bad contact on flat cable)) and change the motherboard to my spv m3100. It's stupid to say that I solve this with some software, it's was hardware
faulty (or maybe not???) and I am very happy, because I can use my hermes again.
Now I have a one, my "old" motherboard (hermes) who working like pda, wi-fi and bluetooth also working, but without gsm. If any wish to do some experiment I am here, waiting for instruction. Also, I add some picture from the phase of changing motherboard.
Information for "experimental" hermes:
HERM 200
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.30.Olipro
Rom version:Schap's 4.00
Rom Date: 10/15/07
Radio version: none
Protocol version: none
ExtROM version: 3.60.20070822
No cid, no imei, can't flash radio (stuck in 0%)
Can't flash OS which contains radio (stuck in 12-13%)
Regards for all on this forum.
Hi,
how are you?
do you know is it possible to replace just radiochip to fix our hermes??
How I see, in "home made" it's not possible, because we don't have a special equipment for that operation. Even if you have, but where you can found this famously radio chip? If you wont, I can open my "experimental" Hermes and make a picture of all chip and send to you, but I think that on ftp you have all manuals and pictures with the name of each part. I use this manuals to safely open my hermes and myself change the motherboard.
If I understand you, your hermes working like PDA, without gsm. Do you have a same problem, that devices turn off yourself and until soft reset they don't wont to wake up? Also phone function working very slowly, sometimes it's not possible to activate connection manager...etc
And if you agree, please to continuing disscusion on this thread. Thank's.

yes,i have same problem(but when i downgraded it to wm5 it works better and faster!).and like you I still have hope that it's not a hardware problem and wish to find solution.next week I will send my PDA to a serviceman to know what is his idea (maybe it'll work).

Ok , i've joind the club of "no gsm" 3 months ago . and i've tried many many roms and radios and still no luck .
but in one try i've succeeded in flashing the radio to 100% and the radio worked very well and that night was 5 in the morning i danced on the desk when i saw it . i just couldn't belive it . i called my hermes 20 times from another mobile to hear the defult stupid WM5 ring tone , i missed it really
any way i couldn't believe my eyes , so i tried to do a hard reset to check if the radio will stay or go , it just vanished and again back NO GSM . i was disappointed really .
here's the way it succeeded with me and i was gonna post it for every one else as a solution but it happened with me once , and now it wont pass 0% .
here we go .
1.flash you device with GM360 gold edition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329282 don't ask why just try it .
2.after the phone is flashed with gm360 and working ok with no radio or "no gsm" messege now you should flash your phone with your device manufacturer WM5 ROM .
3. to flash WM5 rom you need to follow mr.vanx guide for safe WM5 downgrade . http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?...27&Itemi d=26 here it is .
4. now after you've flashed WM5 successfully and your device is also working fine with it but still no radio or "no gsm" . you need to flash only radio to your device . no OS only the radio .
5. download this radio . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334697 and unrar it on some folder . and don't flash it yet to your device .
6 download Olipro RUUwraper 5.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298737 there u go.
7. now the files from step "5" which they are the radio 1.54 put the file ruuwrapper from step "6" in the same folder with them to start the radio upgrade using "RUUWrapper.exe" not "ROMUpgradeUt.exe" . when u run it you will have multiple choices , choose "Force Unsafe SSPL (not recommended)" . .
now the radio upgrade should go smoothly as it went for me the first time . after the radio upgrade is done u should be able to use ur radio fine .
now can some one take half the effort of me writing this long method and try it ? thanx for the feedback also .
good luck for all .

i guess it was my one last lucky chance , and i blew it up with hard reset .
anyway the only solution right now for no gsm is to change motherboard unfortunatley
Nudge!!! :S
I lost my Radio today, also the IMEI is gone.
This morning it was working and this afternoon it just stopped, tried a hard reset, still nothing. Just tried to flash 1.54, but that didn't work, now trying 1.51 and i see the progress bar, but it stays at 0%
I will leave it this way at my computer and come back later, but it looks the radiorom is broken
I can flash everything except the radiopart, i really seems broken, i've tried flashing with different SPL versions including 2.60 olipro en SSPL.
Also the phone seems to be a lot slower.
But prior to this all the phone did hang often for the last few weeks, so i guess it was already starting to breakdown
i also have a almost similar experience, can anyone verify that the phone is already breaking down??

What exactly is your problem? I've been noticing that about 70% of my calls fail or hang when I attempt to dial, when I try again they usually go through. I also have problems sending txt messages very often. Is my phone on its way out? I haven't even had this phone for a year.....pisses me off

My phone started to hang a lot last week, just for a minute and then come back again, also losing the phone connection. First i thought it was some software i installed. New rom, problem stayed the same.
And then yesterday i totaly lost the radio part, can't flash it in any way, but the phone still seems a lot slower then normal, like it's still looking for the phone part or something
I gues it's just broken, and as it is older then a year, i gues it is really trashed.....
So i think i'm gona buy a new accu for my old phone, my abbo ends in aug 2008, so no new phone before then
lost power while upgrading radio can anyone help, now i am only seeing tri-colour screen.
Try reflashing "shipped" ROM - the original Carrier ROM on the Hermes.
Sometimes this works.
Now you know why people advise using the sd card method to upgrade radio roms.... Unless you have a flat battery or manually reset and have'nt Hard SPLed, there isn't much that can go wrong.
Good Luck, cos you're gonna need it.....
