Downgrading O2 Atom Exec in bootloader - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

Does anyone know how to do this?
Xda-AtomExec-ENG-20060614_R060428N_EX0028.exe
This file..when i try to run it it wont dump the files onto C:\Windows\Temp and goes connection error (so does the newer ones)..
Any ideas on how to approach this?
I have a 2gb miniSD with card reader if anyone knows how its done
btw phone is bricked atm so i can only downgrade through bootloader mode

Press and Hold the Reset + Camera
You should see it in a black screen.
Execute the Xda-AtomExec-ENG-20060614_R060428N_EX0028.exe
Proceed to next and carry on the flashing.. Good Luck

I have tried SD method doesnt work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276664&highlight=downgrading
now i cant fix my phone no more?

has anyone managed to do it correctly via SD card method?

Anyone? I want to fix my phone

Use WinRAR to open the .exe file, extract to somewhere "C:\O2_ROM". Copy the files from O2_ROM to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP and try again. Bear in mind, boot to bootloader mode without SD card & SIM while connecting with USB cable. ** Push Reset with Camera when connects to Active Sync....hohoho....If the problem still exists......probably....your boot loader had been updated to a other version...such as O2 ATOM EXEC....have you ever try to update your O2 with O2 EXEC?

Yeah my bootloader is the latest version because prior to bricked phone i had this
Xda-AtomExec-ENG-20060614_R060428N_EX0028.exe
..have you ever try to update your O2 with O2 EXEC?

Does it work? Where do i get that ROM?

Up!! Otherwise i have to send back to repair!

can you dump the files by using the winRAR? just copy the files to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP, then try to execute the command in "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP" for the update process while your phone is in boot loader mode connected with USB.

early model PH10A XDA II...ROM updating weird problem..

Here's something weird...
I have an early model PH10A XDA II...
was on ROM 0.81.00 USA
Radio: 1.05.09
Protocol: 1337.10b
Date 8-11-03
I'm trying to upgrade it to the latest i-mate ROM.
I have gotten to the point where it says "The current software is now being erased....the update should take 30 minutes." but the first time...it gave me an error and it asked me to reboot the device and try again...since then...
....it stays there for hours with no update, no errors, or feedback of any kind. All I get on the RUULog.log is "17:24:10 Connection with USB"..then nothing happens...
I have tried re-boots, hard boots, taking the battery out and waiting a few mins, making sure the battery is charged, I'm on XP and the latest Activesync 3.7.1, also I kill the wces...exe. app and still sits there..
I have tried the O2 version, the UK-02-version, himalayaupgradeut_197.exe...all to no avail...
Any other things I should attempt? I'm bootloader 0.23....
I'm still scouring the groups to see if anyone had this problem..
thanks!
re:Weird problem with early model HTC XDA II with 0.23 btldr
Thanks to these posts I can safely say I found a partial solution that works. From other similar posting, it seems the early bootloader 0.23 was a pre-release demo and not for public consumption...so this USB upgrade process does not work for this version.
What worked for me using this bootloader version was a combination of the posting here http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93&PN=1 - using their choice #3.
1. Download ROM 1[1].72 SD.rar (ROM 1.72)
2. Extract ROM 1[1].72 SD.rar with WinRAR, you will find two files; ntrw.exe and ROM.nb1
3. Put them in any folder; say c:\ROM\
4. Go to DOS command and the folder contains the files
5. Type C:\ROM>ntrw write ROM.nb1 E: (Assume your card reader drive is E as shown in the below figure. Wait until finish writing the rom.
6. Put SD card into your XDAII, go to bootloader mode (Power + Reset + Directional Pad) and follow instruction on your device screen.
However, for this bootloader it definitely wanted a RAW formatted SD card, not a card formatted by XP/2000 card readers. I also tried other devices format Treo 600, etc...but what did the trick was to do a save to SD command using the USB/Serial program ROMUPDATE.exe located somewhere on this board.
This allowed the card to work with the bootloader...
Once this was done...I was able to insert the card on the card reader (and get an error - ingnore since it was raw format)...and type step #5.
Once this was done I was able to boot the device again.
To note..most of the solutions posted here work for public release bootloaders above 1.0...but this was an early release bootloader...and this is how you get this one to work. NOT using USB.
Now the next task is ...how do I upgrade the bootloader?

for hard reset u need not to press the navigation key just press power and reset.
and if this does not help try reinstalling the rom in boot loder mode(serial 1.06).

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!

SpecialEditionROM v1.2 problems ARRRGGGHHH

lo all
i gots a prob with SpecialEditionROM v1.2
whenever i try to run this, i keep getting an error, it cant seem to connect to my MDA (Wallaby) thru usb any suggestion?
cheers
andy
Yep.
Do the upgrade via the SD card instead. If you extract the Special Rom, you will find inside it the actual rom inside names NK.NBF, Use OSImageTool to write it to your SD card. Reboot to the boot loader (Hold in the soft reset button and hit power) and it will start updating.
OS IMage tool is available on the FTP.
The problem is likely because you have a ROM installed based on the TMobile 2003SE version. That one breaks the ability to upgrade ROM via Activesync.

Request: Atom Exec Rom w/t Bootloader

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?
try to reupgraded from boot loader!!

User activesync to update the ROM.

Help! Please save me! (NOT BRICKING)

Everybody plz help me!
I haven't bricked my Atom Exec, but I can flash it no more!
I was trying to cook my own ROM, but after I successfully flashed it, I found it very buggy. I wanted to flash it back, but the device cannot establish a standard patnership with ActiveSync 4.5, only guest mode can be used. When I tried to used DSUU, it stuck. When I entered bootloader (060613 MN2), it refused to DSUU, saying that it must run under Sync (but I can't! ), and when I inserted the SD card with diskimg.nb0, it showed "SD download complete" immidiately after beginning, and nothing flashed.
How can I recover my system? Please help me! Thank you very much!

have a try, remove your SD card, and go into bootloader mode, then run DSUU, good luck.

Yeah, but the bootloader told me that it can only flash under Sync mode
You have to flash with another Atom Exec ROM. No choice. And being in guest mode doesn't disable flashing last I checked.
Don't worry!
You have to flash your bootloader with an older version, and then flash new rom in bootloader mode.
First: You need extract file eboot.nb0 from the rom “Xda-Atom-ENG-20060614” and copy this file to the root directory of your Mini SD card. Insert this card into your Atom and press Reset + Camera to go into bootloader mode. Your atom will download this new bootloader and then reboot.
Becareful!Be sure that the file is copy 100% correctly to your card and plug your Atom to a charger before upgrading. Remember that uprom from SDcard is dangerous.
Second: remove your sdcard, go into bootloader mode again, connect your Atom to PC and run DSUU to flash rom (DSUU might stuck at 6% while flashing the extended rom). But at this time, you can press reset and it will start the OS.
If your Atom boot normally and you can run camera apps, your phone is OK. If it not, you have to connect it to PC and run DSSU one more time.
Good luck! Sorry for my bad English!
Problem solved and thanks to everyone

Run CHT DSUU as normal; then before the final confirmation, copy WWE ROM files and overwrite all CHT files, then confirm flashing. That may help. There was a thread about downgrading Atom Exec ROM to Atom ROM that can also help you.
