How you like your Fried XDA 2? Sunny Side Up?

Hello,
I was today handed a fried XDA 2.
My boss had attemted to flash it and it failed for whatever reason.
Now i will say from the outset that i have only ever flashed my XDA1 with a XDA-Developers ROM and it was a breeze.
The ROM file HE flashed with was called.
Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe
Now when you switch the thing on.. all you get is a a small amount of txt saying
'Serial'
'v1.06'
and nothing else..
What have i done? Well i have sifted through the articles on here.. and found this rom
XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
I have installed this on an SD card using xdatools.. WHOLESALE.. i.e. no moding of the files...
I have looked at 'http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing'
but as i can boot into the device.. i cant get the info it requires.
I am open to any and all help. And I'll even buy you a pint!
I am really at a lose.
Thanks in advance Guys and Girls.

It may not be as bad as you think.
It is in bootloader mode - currently in Serial mode and if you put it in a cradle connected to a PC (with ActiveSync installed) the bootloader should change to USB v 1.06. From this point you should be able to load a normal ROM from the manufacturer.
I have an i-mate, so am not sure what the current ROM version for the XDA II is, but I'm sure others will chime in with this information.

I upgraded to this version, not knowing I already had this loaded. You need to check the extROM version before upgrading as this appears to be way the official upgrades seem to change.
I had no problems and it was done through the Active Sync process
The file can be found here if you haven't already got it... http://www.my-xda.com/downloads.html
Try it again. It does take about 90 mins.
Regards

Nope... Nadda... Zip... Zilch.
Roit...
When i dock the pesky thing in the USB craddle.. it does display USB and v.1.06.
Activesync shows NO sign of knowing the XDA is there.
The ROM found at http://www.my-xda.com/downloads.html as suggested by flintanis fails with a ERROR 100: MODEL ID ERROR.
BRosenow what do you mean by 'load a normal ROM form the manufacturer' is that not what i have just tried?
Once again a pint for all contributors.. and my first born to the dude with the solution.
Cheers.

ActriveSync won't activate because it's in Boot loader mode but you can download the latest ROM Update from the manufacturer or cellphone service provider and load that to flash the ROM and complete the process.
If it's a UK XDAII, get the update at www.my-xda.com .

It appears the previous user tried to flash it with a ROM from another manufacturer (Q-Tek/MDA II/i-mate). You are now receiving a Model/Country ID error. I have not experienced this myself, but I have read posts in this forum on how to fix it. Do a search and I bet you will find it.
- OR - any user who has experienced this and successfully flashed his ROM could chime in here and give jonathh some advice . . .

After much ado about nothing..
i have returned to again fix this XDA2 (the joys of pesky FT employment; make your minds up guys.. you want this XDA2 fixed or not?)
Right i *think* with quite a high level of certainty that the XDA2 currently in my grubby mitts was purchased in Malaysia/Sinapore.
Now.. am i correct in that flashing it Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe from http://www.my-xda.com/downloads.html
Would cuase the problem i have now.. or at the very least wont go on on the XDA2 now because it is a UK ROM and a Malaysia XDA2?
I have flicked thru the pages on here.. and i cant seen to see how to solve this!!
PPllleeasseee help
*sobs, and gently rocks back and fourth*

I think there is a bit of confusion going on in this post!
The first ROM you tried (XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe) is for XDA1 - NOT XDA2.
The best place to get the latest UK XDA2 ROM is http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIRom.htm
and i *believe* that the place to download the Malaysia ROM is
http://www.myxda.com/XdaII/serviceandsupport/template/XdaIISoftwareUpgrade.vm (note the absence of the '-' between my and xda...this is the Asian O2 website)
See if the ROM from either of those sites will install
Hope that helps!

How about scrambled?
Ok, thanks 'pope'
*none* of the roms suggest work..
Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe reports unknown country code..
and the recently suggested
Xda_II_LaunchROM_v10311.exe just sticks on the 'checking for information' left it for over an hour! BUT doesn't report unknown country code like the other one.
I cant get the XDA2 rom from the Asia site, as after i registerd my XDA2 it reports i dont need the damn update... anyone got it already?
I have extracted the core files from both these exe's and tried to copy them to an SD card(the NBF fille) using XDAtools.. and xdatools report the files are invalid.
I am lost and clueless!
HHHEEELLLPPPPP

Well that didn't work...
I got my grimmy grits on another XDA2 and using XDAtools sucked the ROM off of that.. and then.. again using XDAtools squirtted it out onto an SD card..
But i am unsure what i have to do then? is this latest approach possible??
Comments welcome![/code]

Love to help… but
My UK O2 XDA II has exactly the same problem. I died whilst flashing the UK O2 1.60 ROM, and now I can't do anything with it. Identical symptoms. Identical complete lack of success (eight hours and counting).
How can I find out the country ID of my device when my XDAII is dead?

O2 will fix this for you if it happened as a result of flashing with their rom.

By they way, in case anyone was concerned when I said " I died whilst flashing the UK ROM", I did of course mean "it died..." ;-)
But I have solved my own problem! How come you can spend hours trying to find a solution, and as soon as you ask for help, you sort it out straight away??!!
I hope this works for you if you're still struggling.
1) Download the latest i_Mate ROM from http://www.clubimate.com/Support/RUU172126WWE_imate.exe
2) Download the XDAII Rom Editor from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/ER2003Edit_1_2_20.msi
3) Extract the files from the IMate ROM, and use the ROM Editor to change the Operator to 02. Get the instructions here and the password here
4) Flash the ROM as normal. It worked for me You could experiment with using the O2 extended ROM files rather than the T-Mobile ones, but I was just glad to get the thing working. Perhaps I'll feel braver later.

I did feel braver, and copied the O2 Cabs into the IMate Extended ROM file. Then I deleted the IMate cabs I didn't want, modified config.txt and prayed! Everything seems to have gone fine, and I'm now re-installing all the software. Already there seems to be a significant speed increase over 1.60.
I'd recommend taking this step before you flash the ROM, rather than doing it twice like I did.

mark8barnes is the man!
I didn't do the mods.. just as per your original post.. and it worked!! Yay
Thanks mate you da man!
Now i do have a query tho.. if i did suck the rom off using XDATools.. how would i get it bck on again?
Cheers all you guys..

Fried XDA
Hello Mark
Me too, I flashed my ROM with the UK version with the same result.
The link to the iMate ROM no longer exists, can you help me please. I'm a real novice at this.
Thank you

From Orange Rom does the M2000 accept the O2 rom upgrade?

I like O2 network but have an unlocked Orange SPV M2000 has anybody actually put an O2 upgrade onto an Orange rom... Where there anyproblems? Please Advice as I had to reset my device after a disastrous error (my own fault) So now is a good time to update the rom!
Anyone? advice please. :roll:

wiki
Advice? Well read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade
& the other wiki pages about the BA.
Regards, M

I did
I did, came to the conclusion that the indentity patch was no good as the O2 update doesnot unzip etc .... so so much for that. I read the info and yes its dodgy to do so but has anyone else ever put an O2 upgrade on a non o2 phone?

Yes! Loads of people here have done it - all the information on flashing a device with a different Country ID (ie an O2 ROM on an Orange phone) are all on the wiki! All you need are the o2 rom upgrade files and to replace the BA_UpgradeUT.exe with that magical file MA_UpgradeNoID or whatever its called exactly. If you are worried about doing it then don't bother, as flashing your phone can be risky if you don't know what you are doing. Besides the O2 ROM is crap anyway as it has the horrible O2 Active UI on it which everybody uninstalls straight away anyway!

Try WinRar next time, works better than WinZip for extracting shipped-roms or just start the update process & search in the temp folders from WinXP to the extracted files. Probably they in your document&settings temp folder.
M

The trouble was .... the O2 file was an exe and it simply runs.. back to the drawing board. The O2 active comments, it may be crappy software but darned usefull for accesssing specific email accounts.. i.e. o2 ones. Please dont get on your high horses about O2 or me asking for help, I am very familiar with flashing.. etc.. it just isnot as straight forwards right now from orange to o2 and yes I really want the O2 one.. Back to the drawing board ... or buy another one.

As oltp says, if you right click the .exe file and you have WinRAR installed it will give you the option to extract the files into a folder. If you are still stuck, let me know what version of the ROM you want and I can upload it for you if you want. Your best bet might be to use the non O2 1.42 ROM and then customise your extended ROM with the O2 customisation CABs (which are on the ftp)

Thank you!
THANK YOU THANK YOU I knew it had to be something simple... got winrar to do the extracting . Sometimes when you get stuck it helps to ask when you suffer of overstack failure..

Stuck on window mobile screen
I got similar problem on XDA Exec last week and fixed it. I do not know whether the steps will help on you XDA IIi or not.
I was upgrading the XDA Exec to a newer ROM version and keep getting country error code. Whatever I did caused the device to stuck on window mobile screen. I simply put the device into the cradle after reseting it. The screen still shown the window mobile image. I ran the ROM update program again (I think it is MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe). It showed an error but I ran it again withthout taking my device out of the cradle. It run sucessful the second time.
I notice that when the program runs, it close ActiveSync application from your desktop and the device screen turns to black screen with some simple texts on it.
I hope this help.

htc tytn ii wm 6.1 update

Hi all,
I am new to these devices and have purchased a htc tytn ii is is an australian model and i live and will use it in australia. I do not know if the device requires the update, can you please inform as to how i can check.
Trouble is i have been reading up on this pda phone alot and realised that an update from wm6.0 to wm6.1 is available.
I have downloaded this file:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship
If it's not too much trouble someone please inform me as to what i specifically need and what i specifically need to do to update from wm6.0 to wm6.1. I realise the importance of this process but i do not understand the language being used on the forum. A step by step guide will be much appreciated.
Also a list of required software and locations to these would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you looked through the Wiki?

Yes i have and i couldn't make heads or tails of it. I just need a list of instructions.

While we are talking about Australian models anyone know what the difference between these 2 roms is
I know they both have Australian operator settings
RUU_Kaiser_HTCASIA_AUS_3.29.710.1_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
RUU_Kaiser_HTCASIA_WWE_3.29.707.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe

So all i have to do is run the file i have downloaded. I don't need a radio or SPL?
Also is the file i have downloaded the correct file? or should i get one of these:
RUU_Kaiser_HTCASIA_AUS_3.29.710.1_radio_sign_25.83 .40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
RUU_Kaiser_HTCASIA_WWE_3.29.707.0_radio_sign_25.83 .40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
Thanks.

Yes
If you have the original rom came with the pocket pc there is no need for SPL just connect your phone to pc with the usb cable and run the downloaded file.

Cool, what about those other 2 ROMS i mentioned?

one is for Ausies only and the other one is for everyone .. That is all

is there any difference between the two

well i finally got activesync working.
i started the ROM update with the below file:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship
and all went well got to the tricolour screen and got a error message on the computer screen:
ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDOR ID
is there a way around this?

Yes. Hard SPL follow the instructions in the link to the letter.
PSi

no worries. got it up and running.

I bought the TYTN II yesterday and registered on the HTC website. The 6.1 upgrade is not there anymore.
Someone else have an alternate link or is it being taken off for another update for the bugs??

If anyone know the link for the update, I would like to upgrade from my 6.0
Any big differences?
