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

Hello guys!
I got my MDA Vario last week, and I am very much impressed with it!
I got the MDA Vario brand new without a contract and my intention is to use it with one of those O2 Genie PAYG SIM cards. So.... after much reading this excellent forum I figured out that I would need to unlock the SIMlock on the Vario. Got hold of the Lokiwiz utility, followed the advice on these forums, and tested it with the Orange SIM in my regular phone, and hey presto.... MY PY PHONE IS UNLOCKED!
Next step - to remove all T-Mobile customisations. Again, I had a simple bit of advice from one of you good folk - hard reset, then soft reset when the phone starts to install customisations and now all the pink girlie stuff has gone! Only reminant of T-Mobile left on the phone is the logo on the phone dial keypad.
My thoughts are now with upgrading the ROM. T-Mobile have been very slow with updating their ROM package -a new one is apparently due very soon. Now.... in preparation of installing a new ROM, Ive CID unlocked my phone. I would really like to know which ROM I should upgrade to - there are so many out there! As the phone has been CID & Sim Unlocked, does the phone remained unlocked irrespective of what ROM I install? Can I install a T-Mobile ROM after changing it to another?
As I intend to mostly use an O2 PAYG SIM in it, would it be better to use a new 02 update? If so, which one? Or do I go for another ROM? All very confusing! Finally, Ive heard that I cannot browse the net via GPRS on an 02 PAYG SIM. Is that true? Do I need to flash an ExtROM too?
I know Im asking a lot here and am being a bit of a pain in the backside, but I would really appreciate any and as much advice as possible as I realy dont want to end up with a dead phone! Many thanks in advance!
Hi, yes you could wait for the new rom and i am a believer in sticking with your manufacturer roms because many of the posts here seem to people experimenting with different roms and it all going wrong - lol.
But if you do upgrade proberly the commonest choice is the aku2 qtek rom that i use
download here ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wi...digy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
and the o2 aku2rom not a bad idea too, but without the o2 extras.
Yes you could then upgrade to the t-mobile rom then but often you need to unlock again with lockiwiz 0.3a.
PAYG o2 will browse internet but msn etc.. does not work.
btw yes you are a pain in the arse but then most people here are!! :lol:
Cheers Mark! Nice to have some basic advice - very reassuring for a thicko newbie like me!
Well... I couldnt wait for the new T-Mobile ROM and went ahead with the upgrade with the Qtek upgrade you suggested.
Was a little tricky at first because the upgrade wouldnt happen (port failing to open) but I had a few programs running in the background on my desktop PC and shut them all down so that I had a `Clean` PC. The upgrade process was then as smooth as a babys bottom.
MDA Vario is running really well - well worth the upgrade IMO. Everything seems quicker and generally better. Only problem I have is with wifi - it seems to take ages to make a connection with my PC (ad-hoc peer to peer) whereas on the original T-Mob ROM it was very quick. Any ideas here?
I read that you say I would need Lokiwiz 0.3a to install the AKU2 T-Mob ROM when it is eventually released. I was under the impression that once the PDA was unlocked (lokiwiz 0.2b) I wouldnt need to unlock it again. Is it different with the very latest T-Mob ROM? Can I not revert (downgrade) to the original T-Mob and then upgrade to the new T-Mob ROM? Ive not heard of lokiwiz 0.3a being out yet - would it be as simple as unlocking with lokiwiz 0.2b?
Finally, how on earth do I get the latest 02 ROM? I need to enter my 02 mobile number and IMEI to download it. Do I need lokiwiz 0.3a to install that or any other current ROM?
Cheers for your friendly advice.
Al.
Hi, no problem - glad to help.
Lokiwiz 0.3a is out see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50768
For some reason when upgrading (in think it renews cid/spl) to aku2 rom seems to lock again - i had to unlock my qtek with above tool.
Yes you can go back to original rom - but if does not work use farias method of unlocking and downgrading rom (post is in this forum)
Most of the roms are in the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
including the o2 roms, but i would refrain from too much chopping and changing because you can destory the bootloader and then has to go back to the manufacturer.
Many reported problems with the wifi setting up - i would read some of the threads in the wizard forum if i was you. First thing to try is tweak wifi on device to wlan g and it may work better.
see registry tweaks here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
btw good to hang out in the wizard forum too - you will learn alot of tips from there.
Want to also say thanks from another newebie with T-Mobile MDA. Have unlocked phone and CID and flashed with 2.17 QTEK ROM and all is good.
Thanks !!!
if you want th get rid of the tmobile crap on the face...use a 2p coin and move it downwards...not accross
it takes the tmobile paint etc off without any marks..
Jesus sbouri that logo was killing me, brilliant tip, nice one mate!!!
hi
i just got my mda vario and manage to unlocked the phone with lokiwiz03. i know my phone is now sim unlocked, but how do i check if it is cid unlock as well?
i am eager to flash the rom with the qtek version but i have no idea how to do it.
i know i must have my phone cid unlock in order to install a different rom, so do i just download the latest qtek rom, connect my device to usb and activesync it, and then just run the RUU?
i am really noob here.
cheers.
Hi mate if i was you i would use MR CLEANS ROM i flashed with that and its excellent, tottaly clean with no tmobile crap and i didnt do anything with the cid so dont worry.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/ROMS/MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224_AKU23_WWE.zip
Just download this and run follow instructions, real easy. Good luck mate.
thanks for the advice...i took a bold move and flash it with a qtek rom. works like a charm. before that i did cid unlock using lokiwiz02a, not lokiwiz03.
i will take a look at mr.clean rom at a later stage.
i notice that my imei number is different from the one in my box. does flashing the rom change it?
now my next task would be update to a better radio rom and check out the extension rom.
cheers.

Hi there, I'm about to flash my UK MDA Vario too.
I'm not sure to use the Mr clean one or the Qtek 2.17 version.
Before I do anything, which is better of the two?
Also, what settings to I need backed up? I have my txt msg service numbers, as well as voicemail. And all of my MMS & GPRS settings.
Am I to assume that all I have to do is input the settings into the device once it's been flashed?
Thanks

The mr clean rom is a more advanced rom and has no extras. The qtek official rom is probably a safer install because its an official rom and many good reports of success and users pleased with the outcome.
Yes when you have flashed just input all those settings again.
Plus you can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information. After flash change the new pim.vol to pim.vo and copy and paste old pim.vol (use total commander or gsfinder file explorers for this) and soft reset and you will have info back.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.
Cheers for the info. I was actually thinking of trying the Mr. Clean one first, is there anything missing from this one, or is it just less stable?
Mr clean is just a clean rom without any of the manufacturers addons. It will probably run very well - its the flashing process with it that may not be as safe as an original rom and may possibly destroy your bootloader etc.. so you have a brick phone. I would always go for the safest option and would not suggest chopping and changing roms. Read the many users stories where everything goes wrong and the forum needs to help them out.

True, I didn't think about that. Thanks again.
Ive been using Mr clean rom for 1 week now and its excellent from my experience. Its tottaly clean and runs so fast!
By clean i mean it has no customizations as you will find on official roms. It flashed just like any other rom too. Easy as pie. Just my info as people would like to know.
I've just upped to the QTEK ROM, and I've a couple of problems, nothing too serious though I don't think?
Firstly, when making my GRPS connection - I can't seem to find anywhere to input the WAP Proxy settings?
Edit, sorted this one now
Secondly, when settinp up my MMS - I can't select connect via Picture Message in the settings, it's not there?
I'm guessing this is some other connection I have to make up?
Any idea guys?

great guide! was holding off unlocking my m700 cos i'd loose the gps until orange released a wwe rom so now all unlocked and sorted!
help!
hi guys, i have just read some of these threads and as a non developer and simply a new SPV M700 user i am bewildered!
i don't suppose anyone would take a few minutes just to tell me in simple terms what the advantages of unlocking the SIM are and then let me have a step by step guide as to exactly how i download the phone pad software?
I read about the latest dopod ROM and obviously didn't understand a thing.
If this is not really worth your time, i totally understand but thanks for considering it anyway.
If anyone wants to email me and then give me a basic lesson via telephone then i would be extremely grateful.
In return any legal questions answered - fair trade?!
Thank you,
Raj
help
PS - my email address is [email protected]
actually what are you looking for?
advantages of unlocking the SIM only allow you to use any sim card you want, e.g. O2, vodafone..etc...
well, if it is easy to do, any basic guidance would be most welcome!

Orange SPV ROM upgrade issue
Hi,
Has anyone else had a problem after upgrading their Orange SPV M700?
The upgrade went smoothly and the phone works fine when I put an O2 SIM (from my work mobile) in but when I put my Orange one back in it comes up as an invalid SIM
When I went to the Orange shop, the guy said that Orange lock the SIMs if they find the ROM has been tampered with - but I can't find any other references to that.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Hey, I got a MDA compact IV branded from tmobile, but its starting to get on my nerves, and I want the original theme, so I figured I've got to put a new ROM on, now what rom is the best for a Dutch tmobile MDA compact Iv?
thanks in advance
i use A.Z.T.O.R. X2 (V11)Ultimate NLD based on latest Official ROM
you can find it here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422417
there aren't many dutch roms, but this is probably the best one.
It seems to be nice and clean... Just a heavily tweaked ROM.
But these are Diamond ROM's, are they good for the MDAcompactIV?
Another thing, when the next Dutch ROM update comes from T-Mobile (if it ever comes) will I be able to update?

I also got a MDA Compact IV...since 2 weeks I run the aztor v11 rom, and man what a difference. Much faster.
Just try..
Okay, all good.
But here comes the noob question... I already dl-ed the [rar] file, there's a [exe] file in the as well as a [nbh] file. Are these the only files needed for flashing my rom? How do I do it? Do I run the [exe] file on my PC or my phone?
Tnx in advance...
Ok, I've tried two times to do the update as I just ran the [exe] file on my PC, but I get the [262] update error.
When it updating the bar sticks on 0%, as well on my phone. Luckily after detaching the battery for 3 seconds, my phone just soft resets. What now???
I've done some research but with all the different versions and languages I got really confused. I need another spl to install the [nbh] in order to update the X2 update. But I cant find a way to run the [nbh] file.
I'm also afraid that I'll ruin my MDA. So I searched for a original spl and ROM, but I can't seem to find the right one. I also unable to determine which spl I have on my MDA. It should be a dutch T-Mobile ROM (& spl???). The warranty period isn't over yet so I might need it. (But I hope not of course).
This flashing thing is really confusing...
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem trying to change the ROM from uk vodaphone to Duttys V4. The strange thing for me is that I have 2 Diamonds (his and hers) and the first one went through the process like a dream.
I'd be very grateful to find a fix

But here comes the noob question... I already dl-ed the [rar] file, there's a [exe] file in the as well as a [nbh] file. Are these the only files needed for flashing my rom? How do I do it? Do I run the [exe] file on my PC or my phone?
Tnx in advance...

First I ran Olinex hard-spl 1.40, after that I rename the .nbh file tot DIAMIMG.NBH, copy that file to your internal storage and than flash from the internal storage. Read this
If above is still abacadabra send me a pm, then I will translate this in dutch.
best rom questions?
to find out whats best for you is to start flashing.
this question is not welcome here on this forum.
as it always end in a flame war.
thread closed.
Ok, so I tried installing the WM6 rom on my device without knowing it was in fact a Harrier and not a Blue Angel. I now realize I was very stupid in doing this. Now when it boots I get the stripes on the screen and "No GSM, D 5.60.00 WWE" written in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Does any one have an original Harrier rom they could upload so I can flash it back to the original WM2003?
If no one has that, is there a way to copy the rom from another, identical device?
xplode has a great firmware archive, where you can find about any original shipped rom, for the harrier, you find it here: http://firmware.atspace.com/Harrier.html

Again, find your carrier (I'm assuming that the phone was running the official ROM that it shipped with for your carrier) in that list and download the latest one available. No one can tell you which one to download as no one else but you knows who your carrier is.
The radio version doesn't matter in this situation as the OS is coded to deal with a CDMA radio stack, and most, if not all, official ROM flashers will flash the radio stack with the OS. You are going to have to flash it back to whatever OS and build (usually WM2003 for the Harrier) is provided in the archive. If there are multiple versions of the ROM/radio available, generally the newer ones are the better ones.
You shouldn't need anything special for this as you will be flashing the official ROM for the phone. Download, run the executable and follow the on screen instructions.
ok ive downloaded all from these links and it tells me each flash ..
the rom image is not designed for your device . error code is wrong country code !!
i tried simunlock and now have no gsm showing in boot .
it was on uk orange network the phone is spv m2000
thx
well, your device is a blueangel, this thread is about the harrier. it deals with people trying to recover their CDMA devices after a bad flash, you have a GSM device, a completely different phone, and also, the source of your problem is not the same. thank god, the flash did not work, or your phone would be bricked for good.
you need to do a completely different procedure:
1. you go to xplode's BLUEANGEL firmware archive at http://firmware.atspace.com/Blueangel.html and download any rom in your language / from your country. then you put your device into bootloader mode and flash the device using maupgradeut_noid, found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/322928773/Chef_Tony_RUU.zip
2. then, when you have wm2003 back, please post back for further steps to go.
thank you i will do as you said and report back thx mate , ps are you realy a chef because i am lol i have been a chef around 26 years.
ok downloaded the orange uk but its file is corrupt so executable failed ...
looks like im not going to win ..
tried other orange uk files further down the list but still says country error code.
yes, the country id error is the reason, why you need to extract the 40mb exe file, put maupgrade in there, from the link i provided earlier, another thing to avoid the country id error, is to put the device into bootloader mode before starting the upgrade process, so, before you put the blueangel into the cradle, you press record+power+reset, until the display shows "Serial" and "V2.0x" where x is a number from 5 to 7, then you connect the device and start maupgradeut_noid.exe, which has to be in the same folder as the nk.nbf and all the other needed files. using the maupgrade instead of the BAupgrade and using the bootloader mode avoids nearly all the errors, like country id, device id and so on.
EDIT: btw. i am not a chef, i am a system administrator, the avatar and username are just my regular online name, named after the most ridiculous chef on american tv ^^

Tony is right, your phone would have been bricked.
For future reference, when you post, make sure to list your carrier and the exact model of phone. Anyone in these forums needs this info to attempt to offer the correct information to help.
In my posts, as Tony mentioned, this thread was dealing with Harriers, the CDMA version of the Blue Angel. When you jumped in, I thought that you were talking about a Harrier as well.
Keep in mind that each phone has it's specific ROM designed for that single model of phone alone, they are not interchangeable.
