Have I fried my XDA 2?
I've had this thing 1 hour and I was running the latest rom upgrade from O2. While it was checking the rom in my XDA2 it came back saying "Error 120: Country ID Error". Now the thing is stuck in a serial bootloader 1.03 mode and grey screen.
I'd not made ANY changes to config of the XDA before trying to upgrade it.
Any ideas?
Don't lose hope mate! I had a very similar problem, with the same result, only my screen said "Serial v1.01" Black text on grey background, no backlight. When I placed it into the USB Cradle it changed to "USB v1.01". It would do this even after I took the battery out for 20 minutes, the moment I relaced the battery, without even pressing the power button. I believe this is correct operation for the XDA II when it's "between ROMs" so to speak, perhaps someone in authority will confirm this?
Anyway, after rebooting the XDA II and the PC, and re running the upgrade sequence about 10 times it worked, and I now have a perfectly functional XDA II. Made me sweat, and swear, for a few hours though, I can tell you.
Keep trying and good luck. Sorry I can't help more!

I have the same problem... still not working eventhough tried many many times..
It wont even go to bootloader mode.. (pressing power, navigation and reset button)
I come up with serial on top but when i plug-in to a usb cradle it turns to USB and v.1 06 at bottom..
I also tried with different roms.. (QTEK and MDAII) upgrade utility but it only comes up with a window "checking the information on your pocket pc.. .please wait" then the xdaII screen went blank (like no power) and the utility does nothing else..
can someone help? or have i lost the xda II totally?

alimx, You could be more polite replying to him, he was giving you a suggestion, why you become RUDE!!
well, If i have an answer or a solution to your problem then I prefer NOT to give it to you, jerk!!
:evil: :evil: :evil:
alimx,
when it says "Serial" and "v1.06" then changes to "USB" when you place in the cradle, IT IS in bootloader mode.
I had this same problem with a recent i-mate I bought for my boss. It won't let you downgrade or switch to any other ROM besides the 1.66 i-mate ROM.
1. Open Activsync without the unit in the cradle.
2. Go to Activsync and uncheck the box where it says "Allow USB Connection with this Computer" (seems strange I know but it works)
3. Put the i-mate in the cradle. It should say "USB" and "v1.06" at the bottom.
4. Download and run the i-mate ROM version 1.66 from clubimate website.
5. Allow it a few minutes and it should finally come up with the screen about converting blah blah to blah blah ROM.
For some reasons, the new i-mates coming out that have the 1.66 ROM will not allow a downgrade to ANY OTHER ROM. Which I think is BS.
For the guy having trouble with 1.10 Radio version. My suggestion is to re-run the 1.66 ROM (I think it's your only option at this point until a new ROM is issued from i-mate). It may fix things. My 1.10 radio version seemed better the second time I loaded the ROM (I know it shouldn't make a difference but it seemed to).[/list]
Hi
When i tried the upgrade program version 1.0 from orange 166 DK my XDAII started at least to show error codes when upgrading.
Before it only become black
My unit was á new QTEK 2020 with french system 1.66, boatloder 1.06 maybe newer units needs the latest himalya upgrade software.
I will keep trying
Dear all.
I had the very same problem couple nights ago. All I did was soft and hard reset, all of which didn't help. But just before I lost my hope, I re-cradled my XDA II, at that time my xda's screen was still black and displayed "Serial", then I chose different upgrade version and installed it from my PC and everything turned out fine.
HTH Cheers,
I am having the same trouble
I am trying all these suggestions, but with no luck so far! (my screen displays v1:01 When I try and install anything on it, my pc can't detect the device
Any more advice?

Three days back,my SPV C550 suddenly hanged.I restart it by removing the battery.After reboot, it now only showing desktop with battery icon,signal strength indicator and the Unlock button(soft key) with Windows Mobile screen logo.I tried Hard reset, which cannot complete succeessfully.It also can't connect to Active Sync.
I also tried to flash the ROM from SD card,but it can't allow update because
my phone doesn't have a SuperCID.i unable to change CID because both SPV-Services and pdocread.exe need Active Sync connetion to work.
I searched all the forums,but didn't find any solution how to change CID without Active Sync.
Please help.
I had a similar problem with mine. The screen is the same as yours only varying with the sim card removed to a sim missing logo. Also mine makes the error/message noise repeatedly for a phew secoonds every half hour or so.
I just gave up in the end and admitted it was a brick
and the saga continues
Well the TyTn has died and I'm still waiting on a refund on a dodge wizard so its time to dig out the old SPVs I have a working Tornado (the right soft key has packed up thats a little annoying) so am trying to revive this hurricane.
I have linked some pictures of what is dose display and as you can see it will load into boot loader but due to not being ably to unlock it I cant flash any of the roms I have found.
I have been trying to fix this now for well bloody ages on and off but a good straight 12 hours just recently and to no avail.
In short I need a way to unlock the phone without active sync. The only way I can think of being able to do this is with some kind of specific software through boot loader
Any ideas?

sx56 problem
I downloaded the XDA-developers-SER-v12 for my siemens sx56...
the problem is that when i downloaded it and have it activated... the phone show upgrading...will take 5 minutes to do so and do not unplug... the thing is...it has been over 5 minutes and it still shows in my screen and i couldn't get to take it off...
now the thing is as soon as it unzips it says that i have to have my phone on active sync... i cannot do so since the phone is stucked... now when i try to cancel it it says "cannot open the ROM image file" please download and try again" so that's how it goes repetitively... what is the best way that i can do with this? if it ain't going to work.. i would rather just use it as an organizer like it used to...
is there anything i can do with this?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
and if you want to unlock use the exe tool rather then a very very very old rom
like
XDA-developers-SER-v12
The code will change depending on the model of the mobile phone. Every step has to be carefully followed while unlocking the phone.
SX56 problems
Hi, I recently got a brand new Siemens SX56 from ebay. It was never upgraded to firmware. I took the task of upgrading this but something happened that killed the process. Now the device is stuck at this mode even after doing a reset.
My steps were, I updated Active Sync to 3.7.1 (the latest version) The device is happily communicating with my pc.
Then started the upgrade and the screen says "upgrading will take 5 minutes, do not remove device or uplug power...during upgrade process..etc"
The program says it encountered an error during the upgrade and basically stopped the process. I knew this was bad. The instructions told me to uplug the device from the usb cable, do a normal reset, plug usb cable back in, and then retry the upgrade utility.
It won't because no active sync can't see my device because the screen is stuck on that "upgrading takes 5 minutes screen"
Is this device basically dead? Please help. This was a clear upgrade process and clearly the process got an error.
Hello gybanez,
I had the same problem and was able resolve the problem.
You have two options:
1. you can send it to me and I will do it for free.
or
2. buy these:
a. MMC card (at least 64 mb)
b. buy a Card Reader/writer that supports MMC
c. go to www.xda-developers.com and download "XDA-developers-SER-v12"
d. extract the ROM from XDA-Developers-ser-v12 (.nbf file).
e. also download XDA-TOOLS (used to copy the .nbf file extracted to
your new MMC card on the Card reader/writer.
f. now insert the MMC card into your sx56 press reset and power button
at the same time and it should take you to a screen which asks you
to press "action button" to download and once done do a cold reset.
This should do the trick and afterwards if you want to upgrade and or
customize it go to http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ great site.
PS: If anyone wants to correct/add to this please feel free.
Regards, JOHNNY.

and another is that I am using Vista and downloaded the latest mobile sync... but it responds that it doesn't identify the HTC mobile... really sad... can someone contact me via YM: [email protected]
