I have an Atom Exec with ROM 20060721B1WWE, Radio RS00011. In the seeO2 website I saw an upgrade (Xda Atom Exec ROM Upgrade (ENG) 20060721B1WWE_RS00013) which is the same ROM but different Radio, supposed to improve quality of calls.
Anyway I went to upgrade it, followed the steps until it said it was uploading it and it would take up to 30 minutes. I went to do something else and when came back the pc screen was saying that the process finished successfully, saying that I had to do a hard reset of the Atom, wait for 30 seconds and then soft restart. I did all of that and all I got it's the O2 screen and doesn't go any further.
Following indication on this forum I launched the bootloader (camera button+reset), conected the usb cable, killed activesync and run again the updater.
The DSUU can see the Atom, says 'Device CE image version:0, Device Radio Image version: (blank) to CE Image version: 7210621, Radio Image version: R060822N_MN2ARC_RS00013.
When I click on Upgrade I get an Error message: Connection error, also on the Atom says '!!! Please use DSUU in OS mode and sync with Pc first !!! USB transfer Fail'
The only backup I did prior to this was using SPB Backup, nothing for the ROM. Is there any other way to upload the ROM?
From the Windows/Temp folder I got the files used by the DSUU:
Device Software Update Utility.exe
diskimage_Ver.nb0
EBOOT.nb0
ExtenderRom.img
nova_pda_033105.mot
vl1d_pda_Ver.mot
I've seen in other forums people recovering iPaqs or Axims using these files and software like romupdate, but I'm afraid it could get worse uploading the diskimage_Ver.nb0 as it is.
Anybody knows a workaround for this?
I ended copying diskimage_Ver.nb0 and eboot.nb0 to an miniSD card. Inserted it in the Atom and lauch the bootloader. It recognized the card and Rom file, started downloading it. After that I got few messages saying some files were missing.
Screen went blank and that's it. Now is completly dead, it won't restart or anything.
I'll have to send it to Hong Kong I guess.

I experience the same and now my atom is dead. Please help, anyone???
Get in contact to O2 in the region you bought it, I bought mine in Hong Kong, I contacted them via seeo2.com.

So what's their instruction? Do we really need to bring to to their service center? Can it still be recovered? Can we do it by ourselves?
You need to replace processor. Cost about 200$ in Moscow.
Ok. Thanks.

sa any one knows how to flash boot loader
could you be more precise, as in:
1. What was the directory contents when you started your upgrade
2. What did your devicedata file say before the upgrade?
3. What are the operator id & language of the NBF files?
4. Did you previously upgrade?
i dont know i got unit in totally dead condition

Reflashing
Hello everyone, hope you're having a good Xmas.
I have the same problem but it's partly of my own making. I was upgrading my O2 XDA II to the lastest ROM (obtained from O2 website) and my laptop went into sleep mode after 46% of the upgrade was complete. Now all I have is the O2 blue screen. Soft and hard resets do nothing.
I did backup all my data (which I'm not sure includes the OS) to SDIO before starting the update and don't know if I can recover from that.
I will need to send it back to have it re-flashed if I can't find a solution but any advice you guys can give would be most welcome. At the moment my PC can't see the usb connected XDA and there's no activity on the XDA screen.
Thanks for your support people!
Just wondering if anyone out there would be kind enough to upload one of the new Atom Exec roms, edited to re-include the bootloader option (for installation on an 'old' Atom).
The 20060915 rom (not convinced the 20060721 is really the latest being it came out a while back ... and of course there's the name) with R060822N_MN2ARC_RS00013 radio update would be ideal - but as I'm looking to do a housekeeping reflash, any update from the old edited 0721 mod_n-fix rom will be greatly appreciated.
I have upload Roms but i d'ont know if you want those one!
bedav - thanks for the uploads, preferably am looking for a modified 0915 rom ... anyone out there got one ?
V.V.V.Urgent help please
I am stuck with the O2 Atom Exec Rom Version: 20060915 on the Atom and am unable to remove or re-rom any other version. I tired the bootloader mode: Camera+reset but it will not overwrite it and give a USB error. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it.
****THANKS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM****
I got rid of the Atom and bought an Imate JasJam. Much Better Pocket PC Phone on comparision. Slower and a bit more complex but better in features and works well. It is also well supported in Mumbai, India.
THANK YOU ALL.

I suggest you search through the forum, the solution has been discussed in detail, dont use the SD card to flash back unless you're 100% sure you know what you're doing. What you need to do is dl the edited 60721 rom and flash then you will be able to downgrade rom.
I can't find any of the edited roms on the ftp. Where to get?

User activesync to update the ROM.
After I upgrades the new WWE ROM , When I finished, I hard reset my device, and my atom exec stuck at O2 screen , I tried to go to bootloader to install again but I could not , it go until preparing to install the new rom, it notice that the connection errors, usb transfer fail, please use DSUU in OS mode and sync with PC first.
I thought maybe I still kept the mini SD card in the side when I hard reset so it caused this error.
Can anyone help me fix this ?!

Your atom exec lost its extROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292115
This problem is also present in the Atom - and if you're getting that message, it means your bootloader has been updated to NOT allow flashing directly from it (thanks, Quanta).
I can't help you with reflashing the BL (you may want to do a search on these boards tho), but try this: turn the device on and leave it for awhile (say 10+ mins), and see if you can get into the Today Screen at least. If you can, simply sync as guest on your PC, then run the DSUU updater. I saved my hacked Atom (using the Exec rom) this way.
If you can't - then I think it's time to call in a warranty.

I've got the same problem with my ATOM.
Anyone help us plz??
i have same problem too, whenever i start my atom exec it directly goes to MN2 bootloader, i tried rom update but it asks me to run it in OS mode which i can't do as my device never goes past the bootloader. i have read of a miniSD card method to try upgrade but this bricked the atom in all cases i read.
Please we need a solution for this, my atom's warranty is over

i found the german rom dump and flashed via minisd.
Systeminfo:
IMEI: not ready
Version:
Radio: not ready

please can somebody help me?

Hi again.
You PM'ed me, that you have flashed the Atom Life Rom.
But you've not talked about the missing radio and imei.
You've said, that you can't flash back the german Romdump.
Now you write, that you've done it.
You don't give full informations, and now you are crying for help ?
Without more and complete informations, I think no one can help.
How did you do the update ?
How did you solve to bypass the CID check ?
What's with the missing files you described in your PM ?
Did you flash it ?
There are many missing informations.
sorry. i copied your 2 files on a minisd card.
my problem first,
if the telephone started to the bootloader menue on step 5 Burn mto/bt .... the telephone needed the file i mailed you.
if the minisdcard is connected and you enter the bootloader, it´s started automaticly without needing any files.
did you mean the cid while starting the upgrade process under windows?
if it´s this, i started the firmware .exe and on the second next to upgrade i clicked next and hold the downkey on my keyboard, bypass battery and active sync.
yes i flashed your dump, but it seems there is noch gms up/downgrade in your dump.
i hope o2 germany released a full german firmware so i can reactivatet my telephone radio stack.
TIA

Additional info: bootloader checks file version and product version numbers; so, for the xda comet - the 12-byte header should be:
08 00 00 00 30 38 32 34 30 37 34 31 (hex)
ID: 08240741 (decimal)
The following files are responsible for boot up version check:
mxip_oem.dll
mxip_oem.ver
My particular interest is the ID. I have tried flashing my WWE Atom with a CHT ROM in Windows XP DSUU, and I only changed the 12-byte header of the CHT ROM to match my present device ROM. In this case, WWE. The flash finished successfully with all the CHT related files on my device.

Yes, but as I understand, he damaged the device while flashing the Atom Life ROM (No GSM/Imei).
That means, something was wrong while update.
I don't know, if it's possible to restore the Radio and Imei by flashing the complete update again.
If it has success, he can simply flash the Comet ROM by MiniSD.
I think, if he lost Imei and Radio, it won't be possible to fix the problem.
@ nikon110:
Have you ever tried to flash the Atom Life update again ?
Maybe the file is damaged ? Download it again.
I don't know, if it might be possible to flash the radio via MiniSD.
hey... thx for help..
a view answers:
yes i tried to flash again. (nothing changes)
yes i downloaded the file again and the version before. (nothing changes)
after reflash Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2
i got an o2 setup where i can choose the connection type (gsm)
but i missed some countries.
in the setup there are only chinese, australian and indian countries to choose.
nothing about the uk or others.
the automatic found nothing and the manager chooses australia and a provider from australia.
i copy vl1d_pda_Ver.mot to the minisd
i tried to flash via bootloader an minisd with point 5 burn MOT/BL via UART.
the the device show: Please insert Mini-SD card to start downloading.
after inserting minisd the device show:
-> Found Mini-SD
->Files check error, cannot download MOT.
now the question:
does anybody know how to create the MOT (it´s the radio stack i think after reading many sites) from a new german xda comet?
i think that´s the way to reactivate the radio stack. i hope so...
i missed my device...

PS: scorpio 16v. thanks for your german dump. but after flashing yours again ít seems that the radio stack isn´t in the dump...

No, the dump containes only OS and Extended ROM.
If you only flash OS and/or Extended ROM, this problem would never happen.

You must start the update. Wait until the updateutility starts. Don't close it !
Go to Windows/Temp folder.Or better open it before, than you can see which files are extracted. Now you can copy all files to your prefered destination.
I think the file "amss.mbn" is the Radio, but I don't know if other files are needed too.
My tipp to you, flash back the german Dump and sent it back for fixing the problem.
And remember, if you ever want to change the ROM, flash only OS and/or Extended ROM via MiniSD.
Than, I believe, you'll never brick your device.
Hello,
I made the same mistake, as I updated the XDA Comet using the DSUU and of course the radio stack seems to be down. It could all be due to SIM-Locking, which enforces the radio part to remain down.
The question would be, whether it will turn out that updating the radio stack to the German one is possible ? Maybe as part of the Atom Life Kitchen research.
Thank you very much.
I decided to give the WWE 150507B2 a try and the situation has changed slightly, though of course it's by no means corrected.
T-Mobile (Germany) sim is recognized and I'm prompted to type my PIN in. After typing the PIN, the answer from the radio stack/WM6 (whoever might be) is: Unknown SIM Error and I'm asked to type my PIN once again.
System Info shows that both IMEI and Radio are "Not Ready".
A Vodafone (Germany) SIM is not even detected. (and yes it works in other handsets and worked before in XDA Comet).
Again, if the German radio stack could be dumped and the inserted in the temporary folder the DSUU uses, it could be an option to restore it. So if anyone could give a try at dumping it, I'd be more than glad to later perform the DSUU replacement test.
Best regards
Hello,
I made the same mistake, as I updated the XDA Comet using the DSUU and of course the radio stack seems to be down.
I find many life in asia , the radio is 2340, but the comet radio is 2350.
I use a updater only for 2340 to update my ppc. But feiled.
My Comet lost radio....
Can anybody help me to solve the problem....
Thank you very much.
There are 2 obvious solutions
1. O2 Germany publishing a DSUU with the original german software. IMHO the CD-Rom that comes with the XDA should have it included, just in case users want to flash back the device to its original state.
2. Someone being able to dump the radio stack from a German Comet. Of course, learning how to flash it back has to be done too.
Until either 1 or 2, I think that the best chance is to flash back German OS + Ext Rom and send it back to O2 for repair. They will obviously flash it back to the original state.
But I would like to avoid wasting a full month in the process of sending it to O2 and getting it back.
Regards

1. Why should O2 offer an Update to restore your device ?
To restore you only need a Hardreset. If you flash an other ROM, it's your problem and not O2's.
2.It's not possible to dump the Radio, sorry.
Many Atom Life user have changed their OS from chinese to english or reverse.
I don't know if they have all the same Radio.
For example, you can't downgrade an HTC Hermes with Radiobootloader 1.08 with an Radio with bootloader <1.08 it allways ends with a corrupt Radio.
Maybe it's the same with the Comet radio.
I think the only solution is the Service Center.

What if an application destroys the ability to restore the PDA even with a Hard reset? Virus have not striken hard the PDA world but they may do sooner or later and that might be one the undesired effects we may be facing.
Whenever I have bought a laptop, the manufacturer has always given me a recovery CD, either in the form of a full OS CD or a customized recovery CD.
Why should a PDA manufacturer be special and be able to avoid providing me
with a copy of the OS I paid for ? (even if the OS is given to me in such a form that I can only install it in my device)
I am not calling for an update, but the original version of the software that came with my device and I have paid for.
P.D.
It is of course my own fault if I flash the ROM and something goes wrong. Stimmt!
today i got my repaired o2 comet back.
the services changes the pcb. it seems the romupdate killed the hardware.

why you don't try to reflash it back to WM6/WM5 for ATOM via DSUU mode (the bootloader will also overwrite during the update process)
note: just my thought, I don't have experience on this issue. just be aware the bootloader issue is the most dangerous part. one mistake will make your device become a paper weight.
yea but the sad part is that i dont have warranty
and the rom upgrade via pc is not able to continue
as once the fone goes to boot loader mode
its just dead like full black screen with no buttons working

bro, upgrade via DSUU not bootloader
hock up your usb, sync with activesync then run Device Software Update Utility.exe
to be safe copies the 6 files into your c:\windows\temp and run the exe from there
yeah, why don't you reflash as what chartreux suggest. Read wiki here on how-to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_DSUU
