XDA Mini S problem upgrading ROM in Vista...

Hi,
I've downloaded the latest ROM (v2.21.4.101) from the XDA website and tried to install using VISTA. I didn't have Activesync on my machine so downloaded v4.1 and tried to install, Vista didn't like it and suggested Windows Mobile Device Center. So got that, and went ahead with my ROM upgrade...
All was going fine, the phone turned off and went to the 3 colour screen but then on the PC it come up with ERROR!! This is when I started bricking myself, more so than the phone at this stage!! Luckily the ROM guide had a recovery guide and I'm back on with the phone now.
Question is... How can I upgrade my ROM?? Does WMDC not have the right drivers or something??
Can I use a different ROM maybe?? Say a WM6 ROM?
Please help!! This old ROM with the O2 software is doing my head in... its so slow!!!

It doesn't work with Vista, it will only work pre vista

Bricked Wizard

sorry if this post seems to be a repeat , but i tried the search option and the results were not fruitful
a friend of mine , while trying to upgrade to a TNT ROM , didn't HardSPLed the device first , and successfully changed the ROM of the device , now it is stuck on the blue screen with SPL and IPL versions , and no response . for some reason , the device can go to bootloader mode , but it can not be reflashed , and it does not respond to a hard reset command.
please advise on what to do
regards

When it is in the bootloader mode, and connected via USB, is there a little USB icon in the bottom left? If so, simply flash your phones carrier ROM and all should be fine with it again. You can then apply HardSPL and flash to the TNT or any other ROM that you want to. Is your device a G3 or G4 by the way? What are the numbers after IPL and SPL?

well my friend says that the USB icon is visible there , and the device was indeed a G4. the thing is , what exactly should he do , in order to flash the ROM , since non of imate roms work for it. should he use any special software?
i'll greatly appreciate your help

Is he using Vista or XP?

he is using Windows XP , could it be the PC OS that caused interference?

Well, only if it is Vista does it really matter. He needs to get ahold of an original carrier ROM, such as the O2, or T-Mobile one and flash it to his phone, then HardSPL it, then upgrade to 6 or 6.1.

Download and flash Wizard_love Rom,it might do the trick,then HardSPL and upgrade to any wm6 or 6.1 rom.
What exact error it gives while flashing imate official rom ?

well the wizard has been an imate ,and it was flashed with an Original imate ROM already , but no success , any other suggestions?
thanks again

UpGrade ROM

Hello everybody !
I have a G4 Wizard (Qtek A9100) and I'm trying to update its ROM after read a lot of topics on XDA-Developers (Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies), GFórum and PlusGMS fórum.
IPL: 2.22.0001
SPL: 2.22.0001
GSM: 02.46.11
OS: 2.22.17.1
I already used two diferent chips from two diferent telephone companies which means SIM is unlocked (is that right ?)
After sometime reading I concluded that CIM was locked.
I downloaded HardSPL software and run yesterday.
Now, after HardSPL
IPL: 2.21.0001
SPL: 2.21.Olip
I believe that now CID is unlocked. (Is that right ?)
Then I used RUU from three different ROMs and the same error appears:
ERROR 300: Invalid Update Tool.
"This Update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.Please get newer Update Utility"
What does it means ?
What is wrong ?
Tks for your help,
Cássio

Replace the RUU in the Rom with the Mun's RUU provided in the HardSPL thread and run that RUU,it'll work.

ROM UpGrade
Thanks for your help !
Everything works well !
Now it time to learn about WM 6.1 and the new ROM features.
I flashed with Diamond Edition. I know there were a lot of ROMs to be used but this one has info safe for G4...
Does CID unlocked even after the flash I made or if I intent to flash another ROM I need to CID unlock again ? As I used HardSPL I understand it is unlocked.
Tks again for your unique help !!!
Best regards,
Cássio

Thanks! you are most welcome.Yes! it'll will remain semi-permanent Cid unlocked,untill you remove HardSPL,you do not have to apply HardSPL everytime you flash a new rom,just flash as many roms as you wish straight away

Is there any new rom version available for O2 MINI S may be relaeased in 2008.

Zabardast_1,
Now with the new WM 6.1 several questions come up...
1. When I start the Smartphone, a number appears on left upper corner (72410). What does it means ?
2. Wizard doesn't has internat GPS. I have a Deluo GPS antena and I use Destinator software.
Bluetooth is working once Deluo blue light is not flashing (if it is flashing means bluetooth is not connected), but I couldn't until now start using GPS because antena can't find much satellites. There is a set up on Destinator software to configure the GPS but on WM6.1 there is a GPS icon too. Do you know if I need to configure something on WM 6.1 ?
3. Some softwares I had installed on my Storage Card doesn't appears (ShortCut) but they are running when I run using file manager. How can I add these shortcuts on Programs area ?
4. The Wheater tab brings me temperatures in F. Is is possible to configure it to bring in C ?
I noted that battery goes down faster than when I was using WM 5.0 Is it normal ? Is it related to the version of the ROM ?
What differs one ROM from another ROM (considering WM 6.1) ?
I'm sorry for the questions but I'm trying to learn...
Best regards,
Cássio

Sync
Hello,
Some of the problems above I solved, but now I'm facing a serious problem with sync.
I use a Notebook (XP) @ work and another (Vista) @ home.
Everytime I sync with one of them, the other doesn't sync and vice-versa.
What is happening ?
Tks in advance.
Regards,
Cássio

Synch problem
Hello everybody,
I'm still facing synch problems.
Now one more problem come up: Fail to synch due to a register on calendar.
I deleted it on Wizard and on Notebook. Still happening.
Removed and instaled ActiveSync.
Still happening, but this register doesn't exist anymore !
What is happening ? What can I do to fix it and sync with Vista and XP on both Notebooks ?
Thks in advance.
Best regards,
Cássio

Flashing with SEUS and HardSPL?

HI Guys,
is it possible to flash (or check if R3 is existing ) via SEUS when i have installed hardSPL?
When I follow the instructions in SEUS the application doens't check my firmware...
I got in tricolor mode and attached usb cable but nothing happens?
do i have to revert to stock spl or is there a special trick?
thanks & greets from austria
Alex

No, u dont need to revert to stock SPL for using SEUS..
Just make sure u have sync ur X1 properly with activesync/windows mobile device center before using SEUS.
But if u'r using cooked ROM, i suggest u revert back to Stock ROM first.

hm, weird..Im having the same issue..
perhaps its win7 related

That's odd. I thought the new SEUS should work well with Win7, itje.

I just tried on my laptop with vista...It started with no problem
but I dont get any r3 updates, just to reinstall the stock rom I now have...

I think it's not Win7 problems. I've tried it with Vista, SEUS didn't work when I was using cooked ROM, then i revert to stock ROM and it works.

lol, did you think I tried with cooked rom?

I have try it with hard-spl olinex and with my own custom rom that is a light version of official rom (without videos and ringtones) made be me. jejeje
And seus works ok. Not problem at all..
Bthw i use win xp pro sp3

i have tried it now several times, only one time the status screen "checking version" came up but didn't really do anything....
reinstalling of seus didn't change anything

What ROM r u using? Cooked or Stock ROM?

I'm using generic_AT_R2 rom / stock...
but i have just discovered that my battery is < 50 %
will charge it now and try again later... maybe sw checks the status? (error message would be fine )

hy all
Small seus guide
1.unplug the phone
start seus and click next till it asks to connect phone
2.pull the battery
press volume down and power (enter bootloader)
3.connect the phone
and seus will recognise it

Hi Jerpelea..
Can you confirm if SEUS works with Cooked ROM? Some ppl reported SEUS worked with it, but in my experiences, it never worked with WM6.5. Or maybe SEUS only works with WM6.1 cooked ROM? or maybe I miss something?

I have use seus with my own custom rom that i made with an original wm6.1
R2AA from LAM i just take out the videos and other stuffs like bigs mp3...
And seus has work well...

hi!
i justed tried it with a full battery but same mistake again...
went through all instructions, phone is in tricolor, connected usb but then nothing happens...
i'm using SPL-0.72.OliNex
any suggestions?
thanks!

hi again!
just tried it again on a differnt computer, now i tried it with windows XP
and it worked
so there is a big problem with vista sp1..
tried to reinstall drivers and so on but it simply doesn't work
-> win XP worked great now I have 3RAA007 generic AT
greetz from AT

Well i think the problem is Vista/Windows 7.
The odd thing is that it can discover the device when it's not in bootloader mode(though not flash it because it's not in the bootloader mode).
It tells you the device couldn't be verified, but to me it seems like the program will only work if your device has an established partnership with ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center. But the device in bootloader mode isn't capable of establishing partnership, and therefor it doesn't get detected by the application.
That's my theory atleast.

I've used seus with a custom rom. But it definitely doesn't work in win7.
XP it works everytime, and vista seems a bit hit and miss..

I got my phone last friday and tried SEUS almost straight away, Windows 7 really doesnt like it. Had to use my xp laptop

Hmm... weird. I'm on HSPL with an original ROM, but not stock.
SEUS goes as far as "Checking connected phone" and then exits.
Any ideas?

Unable to flash my ROM. Please help

I ave read the site a lot and have a major problem. I am unable to flash a new ROM. I know the problem is the SPL but am unable to update the SPL with neither HSPL nor a USPL.
To give some info, I am on Windows XP, Windows Mobile Decive Centre 6.1 (installeed, uninstalled and reinstalled a zillion times now). I have even tried updating a RRU driver ripped off from Activesync 4.5 but nothing really works. I do ave .NET 4.5 installed on my PC so that isn't a concern either.
Can you guys please help me and suggest a solution.
Thanks a lot for all your help in advance.

focus on one flash method, and concentrate to find out where you are doing wrong or what.
i suggest USPL 2.5, start in the Dummies guide here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
as you have windows xp, download the drivers here to update your sync driver :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524619
and here is the procedure to actually update your sync driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3932818&postcount=2
going back to the first link i presented to you, download and unzip USPL GUI 2.5.zip to a memorable area in you pc. (I suggest you create a special folder, name it Blackstone Flashing, or whatever memorable term comes to your mind)
