When I ran the new Sprint rom for the 6.1 upgrade it reset the EPST data in my phone. I got that one replaced and the "new" one had 6.1 already on it. Is there a way to put the refurb flag back to 0 and reset the life timer?

Have u tried the #778 code to bring up the data? You can edit it from there.

Sorry for probably being a typical newbie but I have just had my o2 XDAii unlocked which works great but I have lost all of my o2 goodies like camera/mms/sms/wap/profiles etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction with regards to restoring these. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks. :?
Unlocking shouldnt do that, if you remove the battery it should put it back to factory settings.
Thanks for the reply. It was unlocked for me by a friend (mobile shop owner) not using software from here. I have tried the battery but still no joy. Any ideas how I can get all my o2 features back? Cheers
ok, have you tried pushing the stylus in the reset hole at the base of the xda2 while holding down the power switch, this is a hard reset so you will lose all your data unless you backup first.
You am de man!!!!!
I have had an Ipaq for 2 years and never thought of doing a hard reset......Doh!
Cheers mate and thanks for the quick responses.
I am once again a happy xdaii user.
Ps. What are the best upgrades to perform on this machine cause I am just getting my head around all this firmware/radio version stuff :?:
Personally I am waiting for the O2 official upgrade. I dont wish to knacker my new machine just yet.
re unlocked xda2
if your phone has gone back to factory standard... as in ... useless... goto storage and find the file backup. its hidden somewhere.... double click that and the xda2 ought to return to normal with all functionality.

lost all my functionality after hard reset
I did a hard reset on my xda 2 and have lost the camera,mms and most of the great things on the xda2. I tried to find that backup file but with no luck.
Please can someone help me get this thing functioning properly.
Thanks

Hi all,
Have been mucking about with my Vodafone v1605 and the new HTC ROM. Had a play with the 'green' theme and decided to try and go back to Vodafon colours etc (basically the Vodafone extended ROM).
So, unlocked the Extended ROM, deleted the HTC stuff and replaced with Voda's. No problem.
When I hard reset the device it appeared to be loading HTC's stuff again???? I hard reset again and this time soft reset before the extended ROM could load. I now had a very vanilla WM5 setup
I now unlocked the ext rom again and went to re-import the Vodafone stuff...but it was allready there.
So - I ran the autoupdate and it stared to run. However, after a few secs it complained it could not find \Windows\vodafone.bmp. I ok'd and it carried on.
After all this I have a semi-vodafoned TyTN.
Anyone know what I need to do?? Does anyone have the vodafone.bmp so I may try again??? Is there an easier way to do this that I am missing???
Thanks - Rich
Some more digging found the following:
By simply taking any of the PNG splashscreens available on this site and calling it vodafone.bmp and placing it in the WINDOWS directory I can get the Vodafone extended ROM to run.
However, with teh ROM run I do not get the Vodafone theme or the phone skin or today plugins (guess they belong to the actual ROM not the extended). I do however get a 3 symbol....
In the end I gave up playnig and went back to the HTC extended ROM. Sure, green might not be 100% me but it's a nice change

Questions
Which ROm are you using instead the Vodafone one ?? Did you had screen calibration problems with the old ROM ? Changing the old ROM for the new one fixed this stuff ??
Ok this problem is related to the pre autorun issue that is availavail in the hermas verient....that means not only that the file willbe installed from the extrom bit also a part of extrom is kept in mail ce rom which will install before the installaton of ext rom...you can see it easily as the wait for 3 sec message after a hard reset will came twice the first time for pre autorum and second one from autorun...
now as u using the tytn rom s the pre auorun cnfig is still there which will install the green htc theme and default ie homepage and some other things like hsdpa anaval and some customised operator setting....so it doesnt matter what ext rom you use if u use the tytn main ce rom then u cant ignore them if not u reset just before first 3 sec wait massage and as a result u will not get the complete vodaphone ext rom addons as for vodaphone cd imate too there has some setting which relies on main image not on ext rom...
i think this explainaiton should clear it a bit..
thanks
I am changing cell provider from tomorrow, so I will need to do a hard reset and do everything from ground up again. So is there anything coming the next days that I should know about, so I can do a ROM upgrade at the same time? If not, it'll be my first pure hard reset without a ROM upgrade as long as I have had the Atom, I think.

all that you need - change SIM! :wink:
Nope. All new servers on everything, and I have tried just canging the servers without doing a hard reset on a pre-setup PPC phone before. Didn't get reliable until I did a hard reset.
Also I'm on the Exec ROM, so I have to flash back to the regular Atom ROM to get rid of the wavy lines problem that will hit me when I take out the battery to change the SIM.
My touch screen suddenly stopped working, anyone had this happen to them? As far as I know I didn't do anything to provoke this i.e drop it or make any software changes. I tried a hard reset and still no luck.. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks

if it ujust stopped working and you have done a hard rest (formated teh device and reinstalled ) and its still the same then id say most likely faulty(which you probley already guessd)
if you got it as an account upgrade get in touch with ur network service provider and get them to replace the device if you bought it from a 3rd party try to return it if you can, if you are unable get in touch with HTC all the best
nass
Thanks
Yea I tried hard reset and all that, you're right my guess was that its faulty. So I'll be paying cingular a visit tomorrow. I just finished flashing the cingular splash screens back to the device and original os back to the device with the mtty program, luckily I figured all that out because otherwise I couldn't get past the sceen alignment stage to do a regular rom update.

The best way to clear any "funny" status on the hardware is to give it a "Russian Reset": power off the phone and then on again. If that doesn't solve your problem then take it in for repairing.
(Russian Reset is a term I heard many moons ago from a Finnish DEC SW engineer regarding PC hangs that would not clear with Ctrl+Alt+Delete but could only be solved by switching off and on.)
Through the turnstyle
Well since my 8525 is 1 month and two weeks I have to send it into cingular's warranty department. The one thing I am concerned about is that I want to make it appear that it had never been modified again. Unfortunately I am not able to do a regular rom update because I can't get the thing past the setup stage because it requires me to tap the screen and do the screen alignment to continue, and thus it won't let me make an active sync connection to do the rom update. I was able to use mtty to get the OS, EXT ROM and splash screens back to original, and I was able to get it back to bootloader 1.04 (Is this the stock bootloader for the 8525?), but I haven't figured out how to downgrade the radio yet. Any suggestions? I think I have radio version 1.27 right now, if anyone knows what the stock radio version is for the 8525 let me know. I want to get this thing back to normal so when I send it in through warranty they don't tell me I am out of luck..
Thanks

Put device in bootloader mode and flash the stock rom (cingular 1.34). You don't need activesync at all.
Thanks
That worked. Now I can rest a little easier sending it back.
Trying to downgrade with mtty
when i run mtty i cant see a usb option how do I get it to see one??? the mtty ver i have 1.6 but i reaaly need a hand cause i have the same issue with the dead screen
anyone else having this issue? My data is stuck in a 1x connection and i know i just need to update the security HDR key settings but EPST wont load on my phone. typing the command or going to the software manually just results in a quick flash of the app and then it quits. anyone know whats up?
who is your carrier?
using the alltel cab
also just upgraded to the newest radio, 3.39.10. didnt know if that could have anything to do with the EPST or not. i have not tried any other apps yet
nah its just registry keys and a file, epst.pst
i will check the alltel cab and fix it when i get home (tomorrow)
i had the same problem.. i reflashed the 3.1.1 rom and it was fine, with and without the vzw cab.

Hey Mills... did you reactivate the phone? You might need to with the radio upgrade... I'm not sure cause I'm still running the Alltel stock upgrade.
If you are in an Alltel native area, dial *228 and select option 3 to reactivate the phone. It will reboot and you should be set.
228 will do a lot of things but it wont change the Akey or the HDR settings. I wish everything was as easy as 228
after flashing 3.0.4, the epst worked fine.. i know its not just the carrier cabs that is the problem, i think it might me a file missing in the rom for 3.1.2 because in 3.1.1 it worked fine! but my dumb ass deleted it so its no where to be found (the 3.1.1 version i mean). But i think dcd said he is going to fix something on it. its a reg setting + a file missing or something.. holla.
DCD, new cab rolling out yet? I havnt seen any updates on the kitchen thread....
