Sorry for annoying every one here. The problem with phone is this.
I have a O2 XDA Mini S which I recently bought. The person I bought it off had removed the O2 stuff with some other ROM. There was a few niggly problems mainly the symbol keys were assigned to the wrong keys etc.
I followed a link on the O2 website which said it was an upgrade. I installed this and it appears to actually have "downgraded" the phone. Now my phone once again has all the O2 branded stuff, I'm not an O2 customer. I'm on Meteor in Ireland.
I've tried downloading almost every file I could find related to this. New ROMs etc but once I try to install them the screen goes RGB and I get Error 300 invalid update tool
As I said I've try almost all links I can find to rectify this with no joy.
Could some very nice person out there, talk me through the steps to get my phone back running with an up to date ROM?
I'd greatly appreciate it guys. I'm a total newbie at this so I hope you'll take it easy on me
you need to use shelltool.
you will find it at the top of the G4 forum.
hope this helps.
Thanks Stabloid.
I'll give that a try when I get home. Do I just run the shell tool and then install the ROM?
Hey Stabloid,
I downloaded Shelltool. Unfortunately there was no instructions with it.
From what I could figure out I put the two cab files on the xda/ wizard and installed them there. I rebooted the xda then tried running the shell tool.
I've tried it a few times. I let the program run for an hour last night and nothing happend it just kept saying "Do not disconnect..."
The other error I kept getting was "please make hard reset" followed by a list of instructions which I followed and yet still got the same results.
Can someone please help me out with this or supply full instructions for the shell tool?
Thanks.
Hi Guys!
After rooting my hero g2 i put on a new rom, this one... romraid.com/paul/hero/3.1-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip followed all the steps on the site and when i'd finished and rebooted the hero the Hero screen came up and the wee android waved at me, then the screen came up with "screen locked" and when i tried to swipe it to unlock it wouldnt move, i also noticed there was no signal to the phone, after rebooting it it did the same thing again but this time i managed to swipe and unlock it, it then had the loading circle in the centre of the screen but this froze and then the Hero and HTC startup screen came on again, again, it would unlock if i was quick and the timer circle started and again froze, then went back to the Hero and HTC screen and it just keeps on repeating this.
I have to pull the battery to switch it off. Any help would really be appreciated, there isnt much about technical stuff here (cos i'm a noob at this) but if theres anything you need to know to identify the problem and hopefully give me an answer, Please! ask, i'll let you know, oh! and there's now never a signal (although the correct time came up) the signal bars have an X across them but i usually get 3 bars.
Nothing happens when i try to connect to PC
Any help really would be appreciated.
Thanks
First of all.
1. Did you wipe before flashing the custom ROM?
2. Did you follow any advice on particular versions of the Radio that may be required for your ROM?
3. Are you using a GSM Hero? You said Hero G2, which sort of implies that it may be a T-Mobile G2 Touch and thus GSM, but it is worthwhile checking!

Dave
The following steps should be considerable:
1, Wipe your phone(If you don't know what that is, search "Recovery" first. Such action will make you lose ALL YOUR DATA). Madaco do not force wipe your phone but if you don't do so, it stuck there just like yours.
2, Flash madaco rom a second time (don't wipe AFTER it, wipe BEFORE flashing it.)
3, Boot your phone, your contacts should be there if your login to gmail account and once synced them before.
Good luck
Hi, yes i did a wipe before flashing as told to in the guide. My phone is a Hero G2 Touch uk GSM on T-mobile, i didnt have anything to do with radio, could that be the problem?
thanks guys
Hi, is there any way i can set the phone back to original, as it was before i put on the new ROM? or will i need to do something else? this is my first android and my first attempt at loading a custom ROM and this happened, so i'm really not sure how to go about things, i know you guys are experts in this game but i'm just starting out, if anyone could give me some detailed help, i would be very grateful. We all gotta start somewhere!
Thanks guys.

Well, Paul @ MoDaCo strongly suggests updating to the latest radio for MoDaCo 3.1 (see his post here), so it is certainly worth a go if you still have the stock radio that shipped with your G2 Touch.

Hi...
I've been trying to run Froyo on my HTC HD2 (UK Provider - O2) and ran into problems.
I followed the instructions.
I updated the HSPL to 2.08 on my phone
I switched off the backlight as advised
But - when I started the install, it freezes after a few lines and the phone gets stuck on a black screen so I need to remove the battery to boot again.
Its been suggested that I need to flash the custom ROM and upgrade the Radio. No idea how to do this so....
Any chance of some step by step instructions from the experts and also what to expect. Will it wipe my contacts list etc?
I know its a pain but greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Quick Suggestion
Just an idea dude, read the sticky's before posting....

Someone else has probably had the same issue, or similar. Have a THOROUGH search in the Q&A Forum then ask the question. Keeps things tidy that way
In my attempt to root my phone, I have caused some major issues.
Specs:
Mytouch 3G (I guess 1.2 since it has the 3.5mm jack)
Current:
S-on
HBoot-1.76.007 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
Radio-2.22.23.02
I know I flashed the incorrect stuff from what I found in my research. I cannot use Fastboot because it does not allow remote. No recovery options
I tried following a direction to root, but the sapping file was on megaupload which is not there anymore, so I searched for another from a differant site. The whole issue is I kept getting the incorrect ones, so this happened.
The last one was way off, as you can tell from the above info. I believe I found a correct one, but a new issue arose. When trying to load it, it stay's on "Unzipping" for system. In this particular img, it is the first to be done. I thought it was a currupted file, so I got another from a different source. Same issue. Seems to do that with any I try, including those I got from this site. I am Guessing the incorrect version that got installed.
Only options I have is "Fastboot" and "Simlock". no recovery. The OS will not load and cannot do the home+power boot to get into recovery.
I have been trying to locate how to flash one item at a time from the goldcard I made, but with no luck, most of the links I find seem to be dead, or lacking in the detail I need.
Right now, my phone is useless, and any help would be most appreciated.
While I want to keep this thread open until it's fixed, I suppose the first question is "how to I flash the correct SLP from an SD card without anything else?"
can you please help me with a soft unbricking of my lg g vista (vs880 [11b]) from verizon usa? i found the 880-11b firmware file, at least i think its the right one. if you know of/ come across this and are sure of its validity i would trust that more. i found and downloaded via a google search. i initially think i may have accidentally deleted the splash pic for the carrier when it boots. this caused it to just black screen after the lg logo n the backlight would flash like it was stuck in a boot loop just the image file was missing. after a little more research i figured out how to put it in the download mode so that i can use a pc to try repair or reinstall whatever it needs. i am unsure if i need the sdk or adk toolkits for a repair in the download mode to work. while on that screen it says its plugged in and waiting to download firmware via usb under the progress bar it tells me not to unplug until download is completed. its not showing up in "my computer" however. and i've never had to do s software/firmware download or setup when the phone wasn't in full normal working order. i simply want to put back the out of the box software back in place. firmware 88011b and 4.4.2 os. just want to be sure i get the proper files/and or programs/ directions to use those resources properly the last thing i want is to guess at something that i could ask someone more experienced for help with and end up bricking it beyond repair. any and all help is very appreciated and i must ask you to please explain each step as clearly and "dumbed down" as possible as you can. if i need to use a program i've never used before {i.e. i hear things like odin mentioned in the forums but i don't understand or have any experience with any pc to phone applications so the more detailed any instructions can be made the better. anything that most ppl who have started tinkering with their devices usually know as common sense or steps that seem implied if not specifically mentioned i'll miss. i have been reading n lurking for months n managed to root the device. but had another issue i accidentally caused soon after which resulted in a factory wipe and some time to remember what i did that rooted it after spending a day on it the first time n trying many things it took me a while to refind what i had done that worked. then this happened. i'm sure with the proper files/tools it'll be fine but i need help to know what those are and to be sure i do it right the first time. i know if i don't there may not be a second chance. thank you again in advance for your patience and help.
