If you stuck on boot or color screen !

Guys,
This is my experience with O2, which stuck on boot after udated to new IVAN's ROM.
First of all I'd like to thank Ivan for his great job.
Now, what I did:
Downgraded to se2003
Unhide, Unlocked EXTROM
Repartition EXTROM to 8MB
Upgraded to new WM5 ROM
Reboot -> STUCK !
I found the solution which worked for me and may be will help you too.
More, after my second attempt to upgrade ROM, my Laptop rebooted itself a 47% ! I did panic- my device was gone dead!
even Bootloader mode was unavailable.
OK, I disconnected PDA from cradle, removed battery and left it for 10 minutes. Then I put battery back, and was able to put it into bootloader mode.
Then, I run mtty utility and typed in "set 14 0" I'm not sure why and how, but it allowed me to to go to bootloader mode.
-I set SE2003 OS
-I repartition EXTROM to 16MB
-Updated again to new Ivan's WM5.
Voila ! it's OK now. I'm installing all needed CAB's and now have clean very fast and working OK WM5 OS o my O2 XDAs PDA.
( although have not tryed yet BT and WiFi)
I'm afraid the problem was due to setting number 8000 KB in partiotion tool set it actually a bit less something about 79xx KB.
May be EXTROM for Ivan's ROM did not like it and failed to boot. But this is just a speculations, I'm not sure. I should perhaps set size o EXTROM to say 9000KB and try again, but simply did not have a time to do test.
Nevetheless, I'm happy now.

can u provide me step by step (noob guide) to downgrade back to wm2003se ... the one i downloaded from the official site doesn't work ... it will say error and i still stuck with wm5 ... im a noob ... please really help, thanks

ok at last i found it ... extract the installation files provided by o2 ... put the rom file into the downgrade folder provide by the modified rom pack ... now i try go back to wm5 ... wish me luck

i tried go back to win2003se but when i use the unlocker tools it failed ... so i guess i will nvr get to see the ext rom ... anyway as long as the phone can be use i will leave it as it is now

Yes, I know, it gives you an error message (something about wrong parameters) on unlock. But, under that you can see another message box with unlock OK message. Quite weird.
Steps I took to downgrade are exactelly as instructions in downgrade folder.
And one more thing I forgot ! After unhiding I did soft-reset, then unlocked and then Formatted ETROM folder before upgrading to WM5.

maybe that's why u able to see the extrom after upgraded to wm5 ... btw i install the cabs one by one and now my wm5 worked ... guess imnot going to touch it anymore, but the performance is actually quite slow ... do you actually install all the cabs into the device, storage card, or extrom partition (i dont have this) ... to maximise the performance?

what WM5 are you using?

if you ask me, i'm using Ivan's ROM + radio 15.0 with about 10 diff. cabs installed.
performance is not such impressive, but everything is working and I do not have soft I won't use.
clean and quite reliable, but speed is slow.

I also got stuck with a white screen after flashing ArtZ Rom and doing a hard reset.
Just a white screen and nothing happens.
Flashed other Roms - back to Tuma - same thing - white screen after hard rebooting.
Stuck and confused now.
Any ideas for a solution?
Thnx

OK - I am back.
Panic mode over - whew!
Flashed back to WM2003 from i-mate site - it worked.
Then flashed to latest ArtZ Rom.
Don't really know what happened or why. I've upgraded to nearly every WM5 Rom with no problems. suspecting the partitioning of extrom?

I am still in the same problems. I can't downgrade to
Windows SE2003, becouse of error 113: "Extended ROM
Update Error". Stucked in white screen and, after reset
at 3 stripe-colored-screen.
Does anybody know the solution for this issue ?
Thank you in advance.

try this for whoever get stuck at boot screen or in bootloader mode
1. Download mtty v1.42 from http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/mtty1.42.rar
2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.
4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted
7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot

imatrix, thank you very much, your hint solved
this issue with stucked boot screen and Extended
ROM Error when downgrading to SE2003.
I already tried with mtty and "SET 14 0", but
don't know for the other commands / task 28, task 0.
The main hint is "task 28" which made DOC_format_HW+
DOCInfoTableinitHW+ other formatting.
Again, thank you very much and all the best to you.
Greetings from Croatia, the small land for a great vaccation ;-)

@MDA3_CRO
Just saw your post.
Could not get mtty to work.
Will keep your instruction for future use (hope not).
Glad your .paper weight' is useful now

Please help I have tried all the above and none of it has worked, I'm still stuck in bootloader screen.

i dont understand what you mean by
4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted

when i run my mtty it just opens "Open Port Settings" then it goes to a window that shows i can type in it but it only allows me to copy paste words into it. Can anyone help me please?! i just want to be able to use my BA again

USB/Serial v2.07 error hile upgrading ROM Sx 66 Blue Angel

Hi,
Can anybody please help me with this proble,
I am freaking.
I bought the phone SX 66 (Cingular) a week back and thought will download some cool things in the weekend.
I thought of upgrading the Rom.
The sequnce was confusing.
So I downloaded BAUpgradeUt file , EntelBL, GetDeviceDte, HTCRUU.DLLHTCRUU.cnf and xda3nbftool files on to a temp folder.
I guess I executed the BAUpgradeUt file (with Activesync on) and the phone was on the cradle connected to my laptop.
It restarted and went to a mode where the screen started showing USB v2.07
I removed the battery and tried restarting by pressing the power button, it showed serial V2.07 (as it was not connected to the cradle)
I waited for the battery to dry down but nothing is happening.
Now when i connect it back to cradle, it says USB V2.07
I am really worried.
Its a little difficult to understand fro the XDA forums, so can anyone help me step by step on how to fix this.
I mean which file do i need to execute.
Should i disconnect anything?
Pls explain in detail as i will miss out again and dont want to loose this.
I have unlocked this successfully erlier
Awaiting the earliest reverts
Thanks
Abhi

Hi Midget, Thank you for the patience and being there.
I am sorry but I am still stuck with this.
Like mentioned by you,
1. downloaded mtty1.42.rar onto a temp fold on my laptop
2. Stopped wcescomm.exe from taskbar(the rapimgr was not running so dint get it)
3. Device was put into cradle (was saying USB v 2.07)
4. I executed the mtty1.42 extracted file(application)
("This is where I got stuck")
I got
open port setting popup
a. Asked me for Port (options were COM1,2,3 and USB)
I selected USB
b. Asked me for Baud:
I selected 115200
c. Databits = 8bits
d. Stopbits = 0bits
e. Localecho=No
f. Flow Control=None
e.Parity=None
When I say Ok, It opens me a window of Multi Port TTY Version 1.42 and within that there is another window that is opened that says
USB115200 N-8-1 and its a blank notepad kind of a file
(Do I need to type in anything into this and save and and download?)
5. U have instructed me to
a. Choose WCEUSBSH001 (where do i choose this from?)
b type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset. (where do I do this)
c. type "task 28" to get your device formatted (where)
d. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot (where)
6. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already(I was not able to reach this stage).
Please take a little time in guiding me and sorry if I have been troubling you with basic questions and I m very worried and want to fix this sooner.
Also is it required for the phone to be charged suring this process and is it mandatory that I should ensure that it reads USB v2.07 while it is on the cradle?
Awaiting ur instructions and Thanks again s much
Abhi

I ****ed my BA like this guy and found this solution via google.
It worked perfectly. God bless you sir.

Stuck in Serial
The BA that I have killed is stuck in "Serial, v2.07". Placing it in a USB cradle does nothing. I have tried to connect using a cable I purchased, but I think I need a straight thru cable and I only have a null modem.
I want to verify that I should be able to connect via serial and do the same process?
Thanks.

i had ewhat a similar issue, my problem was caused by windows vista....not sure if thats what your issue is, but if you are running vista try this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723

still in stuck serial
After a long break, I'm back to trying to recover this BA that is stuck in bootloader. I've read wiki's and forum posts till I'm blue in the face. I have two BAs, one with WM2003 and the "stuck one".
If I put the good BA into the cradle, it starts Activesync and the USB driver and I can connect via mtty and see the good BA, the "stuck one" does not start anything.
If I plug in my serial cable and put in the good BA, I see the "CLIENT" message. When I put in the "stuck one", I see nothing and typing the codes does nothting.
Any ideas would be greatfully appreciated.
Padapa

check the bottom PC IO/Connector of the BA physically for broken "pins"

Hi imatrix!! thanks for your help!! really appreciate it. As expected it's the extrom that was giving the problem. I guess it got stuck at bootloader was because bootloader couldn't find any extrom files to load.
Thanks again

HOWTO: Reinstall existing ROM without touching Extended ROM or Upgrading/Downgrading
The following methods allow you to get rid of all user data on the device (except for memory recognised by the resident system as being storage cards).
>>> METHOD A -> Device Only (recommended, faster)
1) Use two fingers to simultaneously press the RECORD and CAMERA buttons of the phone (on the phone's left side). Whilst these two buttons are depressed, use the stylus to click the soft-reset button underneath the phone - keep the two buttons depressed until the boot loader screen appears.
2) This should enable three options on the boot screen. These options allows a YES/NO response. Use the RECORD and CAMERA buttons to navigate between the options, and switch the YES/NO values. Set the following:
1] Enable KITL: NO (this is a debug tracing option which isn't required, except possibly for developers)
2] Format Registry Hive: YES (clears the registry)
3] Format Storage: YES (formats the internal memory: "\" directory, and under "\RamDisk\". Items under any storage card "\Storage Card\" are not formatted).
3) Once these options are set, press the MAIL button (in between today and the Pocket IE button) to confirm these options, and continue with the Registry and Storage format.
4) The device performs the reset, and the Windows CE setup screens (ie. screen alignment etc.) appear. Continue as per a new install.
>>> METHOD B -> Mtty
1) Kill activesync processes: Ctrl+Shift+Esc in Windows to bring up Task Manager. Kill wcescomm.exe and WCESMgr.exe (by selecting the task on the processes tab, and clicking the End Process button below)
2) Phone needs to be POWER + Record + Pen Reset and on Serial/USB screen. COnnect it to the PC, and it should show USB, with the backlight remaining off.
3a) Run mtty1.42.exe. (or the attached mtty application)
b) Select USB from first list (where COM1 is displayed. Don't press USB button). If USB (or a list item containing USB) isn't in the list, then you have't connected to the PC properly.
(Leave default parameters: 8 bits / Flow Control NONE / Stop bits 1 / Parity None / Local Echo No)
c) Click OK
3) Run following commands:
[press enter first to get USB> prompt]
USB>
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
USB>set 14 0
HTCST ÚÈHTCEUSB>
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted

7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot

8) Exit the program, then re-hard-reset (POWER + Record + Pen Reset), leaving on USB screen in order to run ROM Flasher

i will try and answer you soon but i think my problem accured because i'm using windows vista and windos mobile center service SW

I have the same problem with my O2 XDA IIs, this is how I resolved the problem.
1- Take the battery out
2- Put Battery on while holding onto Power Button and Record
3- Now the PC shoud recognise a Windows CE USB
Now you can updategrade or downgrade.

After step 4. mtty alerts with "USB port cant open". What now?

On your phone, when connected, ensure that at the top of the screen, it says "USB", not "Serial". Also ensure you've killed the ActiveSync processes properly.
Also consider:-
* Are you able to use ActiveSync to sync when not following this process?
* Does USB appear in mtty as a connection option?

Done all that... And still "USB port cant open" - I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate... So Might this be a problem for "Mtty"?

Have you tried a Hard Reset?
Have you unlocked your device first?

Doesn't matter what you did. If you can still get into bootloader then you can flash from there. Either flash a stock ROM or use mtty to flash another ROM.

Here's what you need to do before you connect your usb cable to the diamond:
1. Download MTTY from here:

2. Download any ROM you want
3. Right click the ActiveSync icon and click "Connection Settings"
4. Untick "Allow USB Connections"
5. Now hold the volume down button and press the reset using the stylus.
6. It will come up with the tri-colour bootlader screen and at the bottom it should say "serial".
7. Connect the usb cable and the "serial" should change to "USB"
8. Run the MTTY program.
9. Select "USB" from the "Port" Dropdown menu. Then press "OK"
10. Press the "Enter" key on your keyboard to get a prompt.
11. Type "set 14 0". and press Enter.
12. Type "task 29" and press Enter.
13. Hold the Diamond in your hand and get ready to press and hold down the volume down key. Don't disconnect the usb cable.
14. Type "task 8" and press Enter. This will restart the phone so as soon as you press Enter press and hold down the volume key to get into bootloader again.
15. It will show "USB"
16. Flash the ROM you downloaded using the RUU.
17. After the flash do a hard reset (volume down and centre buttons pressed then reset using stylus. When prompted select "volume up". Don't press the "volume down button as it will also delete your internal storage.

Open File Explorer and navigate to Task Manager in the main Windows folder and click to open. Then click on the right softkey and highlight view and then click on processes.
Then you can see what processes are running and what is using up ram.
Then use an app like CleanRam or MemMaid to stop/close processes and reclaim/free up used ram.
