yesterday I tried to update the ROM to a new one - WM6 .
I copy into my mini SD the file diskimage_ver.nb0 and I renamed it into diskimg.nb0, after the update my device turned off and I couldn't turn it on.
I pressed the camera button and soft reset so that the bootloader will boot and the PDA turned on! and bootloader appear - but I forgot to copy into the sd card the original ROM so I restart again and I copy to the mini sd card the original ROM files and I pressed the camera button and soft reset to get the bootloader again but the PDA not responding...
(When I connect the PDA to electricity the red light works and when I remove the battery and insert it again the call button and hang up buttons work (green and red light) for 1 second).
Please help me I dont know what to do
Take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314613
Thanks mightyox I did what jiggs wrote but it's not working
Be paient:
1) take out battery & SIM for a while...5 min is enough.
2) remove SD card( a must )
3) put battery back
4) press the camera button with the "POWER" button.
5) check if boot loader boots.
6) if yes, re-flash your phone with running the update Flash program in Windows environment connected with a USB cable.
Thanks dcoloane but it's not working

I had the same problem yesterday and fixed it.
To get back to the bootloader, do this exactly in chronological order:
1. remove SD Card
2. remove battery
3. hold camera button and reset (stylus) button (without the battery attached)
4. replace battery back while still holding the buttons
This will bring you back to bootloader mode.
When you get into the bootloader,
1. Plug the device to your desktop via usb.
2. Make sure that the Notification area in your desktop at least detects a device. if not, try and try until it does.
3. Download Xda-AtomExec-ENG-20060614_R060428N_EX0028.exe (ancient basic rom for my exec) but in your case, because you have an Atom only, get the one for Atom(not exec) i think this is it http://rapidshare.com/files/40346284/Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822.exe .
4. flash it the usual way.
5. Usualy gets stuck at 6% at the extended ROM upgrade, dont mind it, hard reset it,
6. Enter the bootloader again.
7. Flash your original ROM.

Good experience....hehehe...
not working
at the repair center they told me to remove the backup battery on the board (if it has one) and put it back... or just to give them with a nice price of 150$they repair it...

Hehehe. It's time to buy an iPhone or Atom Life. hehehe. keep on searching the forum. i'm 99% sure that you'll figure it out somehow. That's how TofClock did it so well. Just search the entire forum.
I'm having the same exact problem. The bootloader is just not coming back up after the camera and reset [it did before but I was trying to downgrade the hack atom exec on my atom pure so the wm6 install utility would work]. I figure I would let my atom sit without the battery for a while with battery out to see if I can get the backup battery to drain down before I try it again. Anyone else have this problem that has a solution??

You are not suppose to rename diskimage_ver.nb0 into diskimg.nb0 without altering the file. That's why they have different names to start with.
The files that came with normal DSUU OS mode flashing have header identifier while the files for SD Card flash do not. It is assumed that you know what you are doing during SD Card flashing, that's why there is no manual or instructions to do it. bootloader mode was meant for device service personnel use only. We use it to hack the ROM.
DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. remove the battery for one minute
2. insert the battery while observing the LED
3. if LED blinks once, your bootloader is okay
4. do as dcoloane says to the detail
IF LED doesn't blink, sorry mate, you toast your device. It's now a paper weight.
Its really strange. When I insert the battery, the orange LED will blink once really quick and charging seems to work also. But when I try to get it into bootloader mode, it just doesnt do anything. This atom pure is my back up phone [have a atom life also] so I guess I will let the battery completely drain out of it before I will try again~_~. As for the renaming, I did the same thing as the atom just couldnt recognize the file and update the rom if you didnt rename it [yeah, yeah.. I"m a noob - the problem isnt upgrading the rom which I have done many time, its the downgrading of the hack atom exec rom on my original atom that screw me up as I couldnt upgrade the wm6 due to the install file wont work as it think its a atom exec instead of the atom pure~_~]
Maybe you have to remove battery for a night to make sure it is dried out.
yeah, just going to wait for my backup battery to run out of juice before I try again. Either that or send it in for the $150 repair~_~.

It's not how long you take out the battery or the amount of battery power. It's how quick you press the bootloader mode buttons after replacing the battery. It has to be immediate; otherwise, it won't work. You also have to hold the button simultaneously for a second.
did that already. It work previously so I know I can get into bootloader. It only stop working after the flashing. Where exactly do you send it in for repair anyway?? Anyone has a tele or address as when I bought it it didnt come with a box or manual.
I found local PDA repair shop...
I try to upgrade rom my O2 atom life. Use official by download at www.seeo2.com rom wm6. while it start, computer was shut down. Now my atom show "Please plugin the cable and re - enter the eboot" DSUU Mode Please wait....
Then I connect to computer again and Start to up rom again but it show connection error.
Anyone please help me...
What should i do?
Thanks for the help...
Try flashing your atom life via miniSD card. To do this just download a ROM and place it on your miniSD card (only put the AL1.DIO file on your miniSD card to make it faster. Then goto your Atom Life and hold down the RECORD button and press the reset button located on the bottom of your phone. Once it hits bootloader (a black screen with about half a screen of white text) you can release the record button. From there it should slowly go from 1%-100% and you will have a fully functioning operating system.
NOTE: Keep your phone attached to its charger and have over 70% battery before trying this.
Thank u
Thank u very much...
My O2 Atom Life now repair in the specialist technician PDA in my city. Cause i worried it can't be repaired by myself.
And the cost very expensive. It's about USD. 25
please can someone HELP me by sending me the instructions how to restore dead bootloader on my O2 atom life after a failed WM6.5 upgrade.

Please describe what you can see now in the screen of bootloader.
I think I've faced the same problem on my Atom Life before(my device has been dead(due to flashing error), but then cured by myself)... Maybe I can help.
check the site's wiki
there should be something about this.
additionally, have you tried the mini sd card flashing method (you can enter it's bootloader by holding the camera button - if thats the bootloader you're not talking about)
help me to revive my dead o2 atom life
my o2 atom life is not going in bootloader mode after mismatch rom upgrade(it has complete black sceen, i tried all buttons and battery remove and reinsert). please help me

hi manmohan
First thing Dont Panic. There could be several things which might be responsible together making things difficult and confused.
1) Battery have not enough power.
2) Rom installation failed in the middle due to ROM file corruption.
Possible solution (Worth trying out)
----------------------------------
1) For first thing to confirm. Keep battery on charge for 1 hour though nothing is on screen. This will charge no only the main battery but also the internal CMOS battery, which is important. The redlight of charging will show that phone hardware is charging your battery. You are done with BATTERY.
2) Download fresh copy of any compatible rom on your pc. Connect any USB CARD-READER to your PC. Format SD Memory Card in FAT format (also known as FAT16) on your pc. Be sure the card is less than 2GB. If its 1 GB it is better. Copy the AL1.DIO file on SDCARD. You are done with SDCARD.
3) Try installing ROM exactly as mentioned in this THREAD
4) If still this fails, that means your battery is not yet fully charged or not working properly. Go to any mobile shop and ask them to charge the battery to full with thier charging unit and again start from step 1. Also ask the mobile technician if your battery is fine or not.
If battery is above 70% and card is FAT and ROM file is not corrupted, the installation again will go fine and you will be with your mobile again.
THIS MAY HELP, I M NOT SURE, BUT WORTH TRYING OUT THESE BASIC STEPS. HOPE THIS HELPS.
BEST OF LUCK...

Try charging your battery until the amber light turns green (it means it is fully charged).Then try to do a hard reset (pressing the power and reset button simultaneously). It will bring your phone to the last ROM that was installed.
Dear ManMohan
No need to send private emails. May be you are assuming most of us as mobile hardware experts but trust me many of us are not. I am just trying to help.
I am sure, you are very near to solution which you can do on your own. And yes, discussing all this in forum, will help many other people too now and in future, than in private emails.
--------------------------------------------
Try to find Original ROM from O2 website here http://www.myxda.com/romupgrade.aspx Select Atom Life and download Rom Installer for XP version and VISTA version both. Write them on blank CD for future reference, just in case you may need in future. DOWNLOAD THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THEY CLOSE THE SITE AS O2 IS ALREADY TAKEN OVER BY MWG (www.mwg.com)
Try installing this official ROM from your PC with this installer, while your O2 Atom life connected to PC with USB Cable. Even this method also restores many phones from boot error.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.
Mahendra
same problem
I have the same problem. what happens is that i include eboot.nbo in the mini sd. when flashing is done, i have a dead set.
searching for jtag what I found is that the software out there that is compatible for exec and flame. when used with life will result with errors.
also trying some key combinations but never come up with flashing/boot screen.

Yap Atom Dead bootloader is very annoying
Almost 1 year my Atom life dead or brick.I already Searched even to Service Center in our country and Atom central service in Singapure and china but none of them can fixed this this problem. They Said : "The Only way for fixing this brick atom life just Replace mother board".The Atom which has dead bootloader can not fix with Just press whatever button in your atom or even install New ROM.Cause the one of term for installing the new rom to The ATOM life is port must be detected by USB Computer port.But in this condition your atom life nothing detected by USB Port computer.Reasonly you can not nothing to do.But FYI if you have contact person in China precisely in Quanta Computer Manufacturer especially in Maintenance or engineering, I think there's only hope.But In the world there's nothing imposible to do.Until now I am still keeping my brick atom dead life, waiting someone can solve this problem. many thx.

I am building jtag hardware. I will try to flash boot loader using linux taken from this site.
HTML:
http://www.nrs.pt/pub/projects/acuv2/doc/mel-colibri/html-chunk/mel.bininstall.html
It is also possible to use windows, but some parts of the program is missing. Still, I am having a hard time to build the jtag hardware, taken some parts from nokia dct3 flasher.
Had the same problem and after about 15 days of its brick status I took it out and charged and after 100 % charged installed the official "Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2" and then subsequently the PDAVIET ROM 6.1 with AL1.DIO.
can you explain the procedure in detail.?

I think the problem not from the JTAG Software.Officially Intel PXA 270 can be flashed by reguler flasher software with jflashm or even HJTAG and I already read detailly in the intel section site,but we can not find the right position so we can not flush directly eboot this processor.Now I am unfolding this atom for searching The right JTAG Position.But I don't know how identify this jtag point.In this side board there are many point, I think I must try one by one, do u have any idea?

try this :
Brick Test:
1. Make sure your device has ample battery charge. If you're not sure plug
it in with the wall charger for at least 10min
2. Remove your battery for at least 1 minute
3. Replace your battery while observing the LED lights
4. If the LED blinks once upon battery insertion, you might have hope yet
The only way to upgrade on a semi-brick device, is to upgrade through bootloader mode. No bootloader mode, No upgrade possible - period.
Entering Bootloader Mode on Semi-Brick Atom:
1. Remove battery for for at least 1 minute
2. Press CAMERA+RESET(stylus) simultaneously
3. Insert battery while still holding the buttons
4. Release the buttons at the same time (You should see bootloader
screen)
Note: Failure to hold the buttons at the same time during battery insertion will cause it not to work.
good luck
@ knoxbrotherhood
yes, i can access the bootloader.. but i cant find the right ROM for my ATOM.

my piece of junk atom died last night aswell i followed your instructions now it installing windows 6.5
Hi guys
I'm new to this stuff, and I've been searching round on the forums for the last half hour but haven't managed to find a clear cut explanation of whether my atom is dead or not..
I just tried to install the Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM (Atom_B1.7z) I think it was the helloworld1 rom? Anyway, I was trying to install the ROM through the DSSU method and it got through to about 6% on the first step then my atom shut off
It won't respond to any button pushes now, however it will still display the charging light. I can't even get into the bootloader to reflash, however, I would have thought that the first step was only to install the OS, so I don't understand how it effects the bootloader? Unless I'm wrong?
Can anyone give me a clear cut idea as to whether my atom is dead or not?
Cheers.
