Hello all,
My XDA 1 has a fault I don't understand. When I hit the Power on button it comes on and stops at the O2 splash screen. It will not go beyond this point no matter what I try. The desktop does not recognise the device when I connect via USB. I have tried:
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. booting up in bootloader and running all device tests (failed USB rx & Infrared rx)
4. In bootloader copying boot to SD and booting with that. (Unfortunately I do not currently have an SD card large enough to copy CE or GSM boot)
What I really need to know is if I can try to upgrade the device (to WM2003) anyway and if the upgrade will solve the problem I have now.
DEVICE DETAILS:
Device: O2 xda 1
Bootloader: 5.14
ROM: 4.01
Radio: 3.02
Any and all advice/help/replies most welcome. Sorry if this has been answered previously but I searched and couldn't find the info I needed.
Thanks,
Aide
It's a lost cause...
Device can't connect to activesync via serial or USB so I can't upgrade and see if that solves it. Don't have card reader to try SD method. The problem is as described in my first post above.
I don't know how this happened (I hadn't tried upgrading or any sort of flashing apart from unlocking the device a looooong time ago).
Any ideas as to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Aide
Your ROM version is not known (at least for me ) ... are you sure it's not 4.01.00 ??
Anyway, regardless of the reason, the good news is that you still have the boot loader working, the bad new is that you MUST use the SD method since the ActiveSync doesn't recognize the device.
Thanks Bis,
Yes ROM is 4.01.00 (sorry if I confused anyone ). Problem is at a new level.
I got an XDA with a cracked screen (so it's almost impossible to use though everything works) and used that with XDAtools (thanks Jeff) to upgrade to xda-dev Special Rom 1.2.
I copied the ROM to the 32MB SD card (got and error message at the end) but still risked using it to try bootloader method on the 'hanging xda. It worked: kinda :?
It now boots and hangs at the xda-dev splash screen and no other changes to original problem. Was that error message I saw responsible or could something hardware related have happened?
Still waiting for relief...Help me please. Someone, anyone...

That's your problem - redo everything above - but using a 64MB SD Card or higher. The ROM files are just over 32MB. Even if your card said it was all there chances are it could have been corrupt.

Thanks JB,
Getting 128MB card in the morning, will let all know how it went.
Aide
PS: Noticed someone posted same initial problem under topic 'XDA 1 locked on O2 screen' in General forum with no solution posted. So if anyone is interested - watch this space!
Ahhhh... God is in his heaven and all is right with the world
Used 128MB card and it worked like a charm. One thing I noted though: After I used XDAtools to copy ROM to the SD card and put it in the device it would not boot from the card automatically. I assume the ROM update tool on the device checks to see if the current ROM and the one on the SD card are the same and ignores the SD card if they are. (By the way, could someone please confirm if this is so? Idle curiosity :wink: )
I had to use the tool on the device to write the ROM to SD from one device and then the other device (that had the hanging problem) finally read that copy.
Thanks all,
Aide
some boot loder versions doesn't recognize ROM file on SD cards ... ex: 5.22
Hi
Started program - found SX56. Message "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes"
on pda. Then it said that it had a problem with the USB or COM connection, and
to fix it in device manager. I opened Device Manager, and checked that all the
USB and COM ports were enabled, which they were.
By this time, the unlock software and ActiveSync had stopped running. The pda
was still stuck on the "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes" screen. Since
the configuration has changed, ActiveSync will no longer recognize the device,
and will not sync with it. Your software will not connect until ActiveSync does.
All that comes up is the "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes" screen. there
is no other functionality to the system.Hard or soft resets make no difference.
Active Sync doesn't work. The PDA has changed its configuration, so active
Sync doesn't recognize it. When I plug it in, Active Sync sees something, but
can't even tell that it is a pda, and I can't even set up a new connection with
it. let alone use the old connection.
Can anyone help? is there a way i can reinstall active sync or is there another way to fix it? please help
You will need xdatools, sd card, card reader/writer and rom file from kitchen for sd card flashing. Unzip the rom after download, start xdatools on your pc, choose the unzipped rom file as source and the drive letter for your sd card as destination from drop down menu, once the card is programmed insert sd card to phone, push reset while holding power, when prompted you then push the action key which is centre of 4 way rocker buttons. Once flashed push the unscrewed stylus into hole next to headphone socket, push once only, wait one minute push once more, this will work as long as you dont have a problematic version of bootloader on your phone. Good luck.
System is entirely backed up onto SD card.Can't use SD card. Can't use PDA.
PDA is still stuck on "ugrading - will take about 5 minutes". It apparently has
no operating system in ROM. No difference with hard or soft reset - comes back
to same screen, no function in PDA.
HELP PLEASE
I think you misunderstood, a normal backup is no good, you need to program an sd card with a new rom, when this is placed in your xda and soft reset it should reprogram your phone with a new rom. You are correct when you say it has no rom, the method I described should restore your phone to a working machine. You do not need a rom to reprogram using bootloader/sd card method, try it and see.
You will need xdatools, sd card, card reader/writer and rom file from kitchen for sd card flashing.

Okay, so can I basically use the newest ROM which also unlock the device too?
You will need to use either xda developers special edition rom to unlock or include the unlock program from the kitchen in a 2002 rom, you can then upgrade to wm2003 if you wish, you cannot unlock under wm2003 so you must use special edition or kitchen rom based on 2002 first.
I am sorry if i keep asking you questions.
I do have the xda special rom, ive tryed using it but it caused the problem i do have right now.
i did download xdatools by jeff. i cannot run them though.
Could you describe step by stef of what i need to do.
i.e. do i need a complete NEW ROM, or can i just transfer the xda special rom to my SD card and then run it to restore my device?
But i guess not, else you wouldnt have explained what i need to do.
Thats the error i get when i try to run xdatools. (I dont understand the install note)
"INSTALLATION
From the source + exe distribution copy OsImageTool.exe and itsutils.dll
to the programme A directory as created by unpacking
jeff's-exe (http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/) to a directory in
your "Program Files" directory. Then run 'OsImageTool --register'."
IF you unzip the files you already have both of those files in the folder.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
You have to install ActiveSync.
You can get it diretcly from Microsoft for free....

. I was able to locate the NK.nbf file. I ran the XDA OS image tool, to put the OS on the sd card, from the NK file. That apparently succeeded, but it is hard to tell. After loading the OS, when I take out the sd card, then put the sd card back into the sd card reader, it can no longer read the sd card. I can format the sd card again, using my camera, so the sd card is not destroyed.
Wher I put the sd card in the SX56, there is no problem, but there is no success.
Pushing soft reset alone does nothing. Pushing the power button alone does not turn the machine on or off, and does nothing.
Pushing power and soft reset at the same time, gets me the “Wallaby Bootloader V5.15” screen. It first says “wait”, and then says “GSM OK”. It then does nothing else, and doesn’t prompt me to do anything else. If I push the action button, I get “DIAGNOSTICS GPRSA 20324e4”. From there, I can scroll up and down, and test the RAM, Display, battery, USB, etc – all items tested seem OK. There is nowhere to go from here – all it does is test the pieces.
After that, if I push the hard reset (the one that disconnects the battery), the power goes off, and the screen is dark. This is the only way to turn the machine off at the moment. If I push hard reset again, it comes up with a screen full of lines, with two blank holes in it (see attached file). From there, none of the buttons do anything, except hard reset (which turns the machine off again), or soft reset + power, which brings up the bootloader screen again.
have the siemens ROM. It will not work with the cradle, because it cannot find the pda if Activesync can’t make a connection, and loading it onto the SD card does nothing new – both results are exactly the same as with what described above.
any suggestions?
ok my phone is HTC 8525, with WM 6.1 professional . It worked fine for 3 days then it start freezing , before it does that a blue background will appeare ,then it will not let me do anything at all . When I try to touch an icon, it will say something like invalid location or could not find target . I have to hard reset it. sometimes I have to reset it 4 or 5 times a day . , In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ? please help me I truly appricat it . In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ?
Hmmm, "the mini card will freeze the whole phone"??? Are you referring to the SD Storage Card? Do you have any volatile data stored on the card? Any Today Screen Applications?
If this is the case, try shutting off the phone and removing the card. Then place the card into a card reader, and plug it into your PC. Make a folder on the desktop of your PC, and COPY all the contents of the SD card to the folder.
Now, reformat the SD card in your PC, as FAT32, and default for all characteristics.
Once reformatted, copy all that stuff back onto the SD card from the temp folder on your desktop, making sure everything is returned to it's original locations. Pop the SD card back into your phone and see if it's fixed. Sometimes, corrupted space on the SD card will make the phone behave very badly. Hopefully, this procedure might fix it for you.

Yes Sir, i apaologize , i was refering to the SD card . i am just tierd resetting the phone every 4 hrs . do you recomend any shops that can fix the soft -ware . i notices when i start the phone and i go to clean tmp it will say" 8 Fils and 4 folders of 656 Bytes cleard ! . then 5 hrs later the blue screen comes back
After doing what pvs said, and if you still have problems I'd check for bad blocks with MTTY... I would also ,after confirming no bad blocks, would flash a stock rom then reflash wm 6.1 and see if that helps... Cheers...
Wow , how to do all that if you dont mind me asking , actually i took the SD card out i am not in need for it at the moment . can you please help me to do what you said and i truly appreciat it , Great thanks for both of you gents
pvs already says what to do in his previous post...
To check for bad blocks follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
To Flash a stock rom you need to know what carrier the phone was on. Download the wm6 update from their site and, Making sure you have Hard SPLed your phone, I suggest flashing via the sd card method. Its safer than flashing through pc.
Format sd card fat32. copy .nbh file of the stock rom (you may have to search for it) onto the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in hermes and reset to bootloader (power button, OK button above flywheel and soft reset with stylus. Hold all buttons until it goes to tri-colour screen). It should recognise the os flash and load up a screen showing 1st boot screen, 2nd boot screen, gsm And os (or something like that as cooked roms don't generally have the gsm part). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY!!!!! Follow the prompts... I generally use the sd card method to flash ALL my roms so I don't have problems like usb disconnecting or pc rebooting/hanging or power failures.
Hope this helps you out, Cheers...
BASELABBAS ... Please describe what you are doing when you say that you are "HARD-RESETTING" several times a day. Are you:
1) poking the stylus into the hole at the base of the unit?
- or -
2) holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]?
If you are doing the first ... this is called a SOFT reset. The second is a HARD-RESET, and will wipe the phone clean of ANYTHING outside of what came with the ROM itself.
Since you have posted that you already removed the SD Card from the device, and can (for the time-being) live without it, I recommend you do an ACTUAL Hard Reset (backup anything you need to keep first) via step #2 above, and then be patient about installing any apps. I wouldn't do anything more than sync it up via ActiveSync with your contacts for the first few of days. If things start to go crazy without any third-party apps installed, then I would look into the steps that ultramag69 has suggested ... starting with a flash to a stock ROM.
WM6.1 has been a bit shaky on our Hermes thus far. Some people are getting good results, but a lot of others are having issues like you are describing. I would suspect that your ROM might not be a good match, before I'd suspect bad blocks at this point (and it's a bit easier to test for).
If the stock rom does better on your device, you can try flashing back up to a WM6.1 ROM after that. And if you haven't already, make sure that you have installed HARDSPL before doing any of this stuff.
Good luck,
-pvs
Mr. pvs , I am doing the #2 holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]. I tried to download Hard-SPL 1[1].10, when I open it on my PC it will give me instructions then when I press upgrade I will see 4 color screen the Sync icon will disappear and then it will say that it lost connections.
it looks like i need to update
this what is say
From :
Image Version : TNT.19199
to
image version 2.05.255.1

OK, well that's definitely a Hard Reset. So your WM6.1 Rom is acting flaky right aftwerwards, eh? I would say it's time to try a different ROM, as we've been discussing above.

No ... try Hard-SPL-V7.zip found at the bottom of THIS PAGE. I THINK you can flash it via the SD method if ActiveSync isn't working for you (if not, somebody please correct me). To do this, open the downloaded ZipFile with WinZip or WinRAR and copy the file inside named RUU_signed.nbh to your desktop. Rename it HERMIMG.NBH, and copy it to the root of your freshly reformatted (FAT32) Storage Card. Put the Storage Card into your device and press the side OK button and the power button simultaneously while resetting with the stylus until the tri-color screen appears and turns white. The device will find the HERMIMG.NBH file and offer to upgrade by pressing the Power Key. This will install HardSPL onto your device without the need for ActiveSync. You can also flash ROMs in this manner.
Again, good luck,
-pvs
No, You need to run a file from the phone itself to install hard SPLvia sd card. You can find it on page 116 of the hard SPL or how not to brick your hermes thread.

Okay, I was able to install the HSPL to 2.08. By the way I was on T-mobile stock Win 6.5. I installed MAGLDR 1.13 and I verified bothh are installed. When I tried to load NAND Android, could not find the loader.exe or daf.exe to install. I have a phone right now in the bootloader menu. I just want to go back to Win Mo 6.5, I downloaded stock from T-mobile website, but the PC does not recognize the device (has it as MAGLDR device). I would really appreciate any help that you could give. I have searched the forums for this topic, can't seem to find a solution that works. When I tried to install WinMo 6.5 it says it could not communicate with my device (only way I can even see it is to select USB mass storage in bootloader menu). USB flash says USB, but nothing happens. Windows device manager doesn't recogniz device either.
I will never attempt this again, and thanks again for any help you can give.
okay, things should turn out okay.
if you want to proceed with nand:
* When your phone Reboots it will Enter the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen *
1. Press the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 5: USB Flasher and press the 'Call' button (far left of the 5 hardware buttons at the bottom)
2. The menu will enter Android Flasher mode and install usb drivers if not present
3. Browse to the folder you extracted your NAND Android Package files to on your pc, right click on Run DAF.exe (or Install.exe if DAF.exe isnt present) and select Run as Administrator
4. Read ALL the text and then select 'Next'
5. Read the information and select 'Next'
6. The installer will now detect USB and then flash your Android Rom to NAND
* You can follow this progress on your Phones Screen *
7. When flashing is complete your phone will Reboot and proceed to boot Android from NAND

to return to wm:
flash rom from sd card:
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

Do this cut your phone off then cut it back on by holding the volume down button and momentaraly holdind thd power(end) button. When the tri color bootloader comes up plug your phone into the USB cable and wait for the white bar at the bottom of the phone screen to say USB ans then run the update utility for the T-Mobile ROM.
Thanks for the prompt reply. I think I am going to go back to 6.5. When I went to the folder I xtracted for android, I could not find a run.exe or install/ It loaded three files, boot, system, and some other file. None of them had those listed in the files. Like I said, I shouldn't have even attempted it.
Now, when I flas back to WinMo, will it only be on the SD card?
were those three wrapped in a .zip when you downloaded them? sounds like you may have a zip nand rom, but are following daf nand instructions.
got a rom filename for us?

three folders, not files, system, boot and meta-inf.
You unzipped a zip nand rom, then followed daf nand rom instructions.

No you will just be using the Sd card to flash the ROM if you go the SD card rout, and by the way when you are done flashing your phone you can remove that file from your SD. Flashing with the SD card is just a easier and safer way of flashing seing as the only thing that could go drastically wrong is the battery die or you remove the SD card while the flash is in progress. Also flashing from SD takes a littke longer too.
Edit: You well lose HSPL and MAGLD by using the SD card method.
You are right! Unfortunately I got frustated with it and I deleted the files. Here ia the one I tried [23.FEB.11][ZIP][LEO512][LEO1024]CMYLXGOs Stock Desire HD(2)[RUU1.84][RAFPIGNA 1.7OC]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like ALL IS well when download the stock. Thaks T-macgnolia! Actually thanks everyone! My husband thanks you as I didn't destroy his phone.
Okay, last thing I hope. I was able to get 6.5 up and running. Everything works except the battey will not charge. (the little charging icon does not show up in the status bar on top) The battery ia down to 2 percent, when I plug it in the battery goes to full and the led light blinks red, then green all the time. I pulled the battery to reset, doesn't help. What did I do?
Oops, flashing light indicates faulty battery or battery charging circuits. Check battery pins aren't a little bent, perhaps borrow a battery from friend / shop and see if it still happens.
Hello. I've been looking everywhere and I could not find a STOCK ROM for my Coby Kyros MID1125-4G. It happens that I installed ICS from Coby germany, but that slowed the tablet and has many problems with the WIFI, then updated via OTA to JellyBean and the thing was worse. Now I want to return to Gingerbread, but I don't have the stock image. Any of you have a STOCK ROM for this device? I will be very grateful for your help.

I think I've done pretty much the same as you....my tablet doesn't seem too bad...a bit glitchy maybe but I have no access to the APN settings meaning I can't use 3g. I'm hunting for answers as well.....if you find out anything before me let me know (and vice versa) :fingers-crossed:
I am glad im not the only one been trying to work out how to get the 4g sim card bit working again for the past few months since I did the update to ICS, was hoping the the update to Jellybean would fix it, tho I have a thought about the update if it helps that is when it downloads the update from the coby site it is downloading for the standard 1125 and not the 1125-4g model.
If i find out a solution or any more will let you know.

Thx for all the great info so far. It allowed me to make my bricked
tablet work again however it seems that I also have problem of the

also upgrading to the latest ICS update provided by Coby.
Do you have any idea how to fix this ?? :crying:

From what I have read at various places you need to reformat the NAND (internal sd storage) and scan it for errors, this is a know fault as nands like hard drives can have bad sectors, which they write out when originally getting them ready for sale.
Most people recommend hxxp://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html SD Formatter v3 to format it, obviously the coby has to be plugged into your computer to format it.
One note if you have the 3g version of the 1125 with the sim card slot using the coby germany upgrade to ics (or now updated to jellybean) using the updater on their site you wont be able to use the internal 3g sim card slot, this is a known problem to them and they are working on it.

From what I have read at various places you need to reformat the NAND (internal sd storage) and scan it for errors, this is a know fault as nands like hard drives can have bad sectors, which they write out when originally getting them ready for sale.
Most people recommend hxxp://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html SD Formatter v3 to format it, obviously the coby has to be plugged into your computer to format it.
One note if you have the 3g version of the 1125 with the sim card slot using the coby germany upgrade to ics (or now updated to jellybean) using the updater on their site you wont be able to use the internal 3g sim card slot, this is a known problem to them and they are working on it.

Hmm I have dowloaded the SD Formatter 3.1 but it only formates the NAND memory ( flash erase is not suported ) i dont know how to scan for errors, also in FWDN it shows me that the NAND data is:
NAND DATA
( 3235840KB )
Is this ok ?
Also I want to let you know that the original coby germany upgrade to ics I can use the internal 3g sim card slot
I have now the update to ICS but now I dont know how to root and put the market on it, to bad
Did you guys have any luck trying to get APN settings working on your tablet, i mean with the 4.1.1. on?
sorry for my bad english
Is these instructions and the ROM for the 1125 without 3g usable?
If not, is there a tutorial for it and a stock ROM?
To explain:
I must have deleted important files in memory and can't run it any longer. it can not be started.
It is rooted. I would now like to re-flash.
How to get the 1125 in the CWM?
Yes, you can use it. I have also used it to come back to GB.

Thx for all the great info so far. It allowed me to make my bricked
tablet work again however it seems that I also have problem of the
"Damaged Nand". this message is preventing me from installing CWM after the recovery and
also upgrading to the latest ICS update provided by Coby.
Do you have any idea how to fix this ?? :crying:

Hi ! I also have the same problem on my MID1125 (without 3G)
...> Damaged NAND.
I forgot to make Step 12 :
12 - click on NAND Data from the block on the right and create file NAND Data.fai
As i read on the internet, the Data.fai File contains the Parition Layout for the NAND Flash. Can someone can make a Data.fai File from his MID1125 Tablet ?
If you do the downgrade steps until step 12, the tablet will not be flashed !
Thank you...
Please, help me. Kyros MID1126.
Hello, my Kyros is a 1126, I realized the process suggested by Kaosmad, but with the rom the Kyros 1125. And it worked, but the format does not match the screen, the touch does not work and some other buttons, I need these files for Kyros 1126, where the "lk.rom" and "mtd.img" if someone can help me , because I can only alert by FWDN_v7 program. From now on, thank you.
Thanks!

6 - select lk.rom and MTD.img and click on open
7 - click on add files
8 - turn on coby by pushing the on button whilst holding the volume up button for at least 8 seconds, till the coby screen says plug in usb cable
9 - plub in usb cable
10 - wait for windows to finish detecting / installing drivers
11 - the FWDN software should now see the coby and show the memory allocation layout on the right side of the software.
12 - click on NAND Data from the block on the right and create file NAND Data.fai
13 - click on start
14 - wait while coby is updated
15 - when the screen says download complete (turns green) disconnect the usb cable
16 - reset the coby using the reset whole on the side with a paperclip or something else that fits in the whole.

After following the instructions I had an error and it would not boot.. so I did the same again but changed from "default download" to "Low format whole memory before download" (this does remove all your data as the warning states) then followed steps 3 to 13 again you need to do the NAND data.fai again so that it works and I have the stock ROM just added
Pplaystore via sd card.

Open Uni-init+v1.0.apk , install intd support
( you will need busybox installed first for this to work )
You now have working Play Store , Superuser and Android 4.1 with Intd support
For Extended memory ,( You need this )
Increase Internal Memory by Link2SD : Min 2 GB microSD
In order to add memory to Coby 1125, your micro SD card used for install will need to be formatted
Copy all files you wish to keep from micro SD to desktop as it will be wiped
• Backup all your files on memory card.
• Go into the Recovery Mode ( as above , fastboot boot recovery.img ) ( Your operating system will be fine )
• Make a nandroid backup at this time
• Select “Advanced”, and then choose “Partition SD Card”.
• Then Choose your size ( if you have a 2GB Memory Card, choose 512 MB, and if you have a 4 GB Memory card, you can choose 1024 MB, ext ).
• Select 0 Swap.
• Wait for the process to finish, and then select Reboot
You’ve just made a partition on your memory card, and its ready to use.
Now follow the steps below for Link2SD
• Open Link2SD. You will be prompted to choose between ext2,ext3,ext4 and FAT32.
• Choose ext2
• Select OK ,
• It will then say, “Mount Script Created”.
• Now you Reboot your Tablet
• Open Link2SD again, if any message does not appear ,it means you succeeded.
• Go to Link2SD > Setting( far right top icon ) scroll down > Check the autolink. (to automatically move apps upon installation).
If you already have some apps listed , select “create link” ( be sure to check the files: app, dalvic-cache, and library files).
Move to SD option only moves app to SD it does not link them
Now to check the memory, select “Storage Info” . this will be showing you up the current status of your internal memory.
You should see as below SD Card 2nd Part
To move a system App you can long press App , it will pull up menu , select convert to user App let it do its thing
Select App again and it will open option to create link as installed user apps do
So far I have moved Calculator , VPN , Music FX , ES File Explorer and Sound Recorder with no issue
Use Link2Sd and (long press) on SystemUpdate.apk ( /system/app/SystemUpdate.apk ) and freeze app.
This will stop System Update from happening at random moments or on reboot
There is no Update to install though the System thinks so (without freezing it will continue to show updates available)
