Please help, and please dont abuse - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi Guys, I have bricked my Cingular branded BA Siemens SX66 PH20B. I am getting the no GSM error, I have read the WIKI and read the thread that follows Help, my device shows "No GSM" after upgrading, and I can not perform any more ROM upgrades Link. I have tried the steps and nothing seems to be working, I guess I must be a complete noob but i have spent hours trying to get the radio to install and nothing will work. I have spent 6 or 7 hours looking on here before i requested help I was running the radio unlock when a tree took out the power line to my house. I edited the ruu.conf and that didnt help I ran the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and it will update my rom with no problems at all it just hangs at the radio install and wont go anywhere i get a "Error 114: Radio update error" If someone can help I would appreciate it.

Might help.
I'm not quite sure about your problem but I did get the same radio update error couple times. One thing that I had to do is to let my computer (active sync) recognize my device first. After that the redio update error is gone.

I got it fixed, what i did was install an original rom from seimens that i got at SX66 (Blue Angel) Standardization Project, itfixed the radio error and then i could reinstall the updates

bricked trinity, please help

Hi guys,
I tried to upgrade my trinity and it stopped at 80% with error about connection problem. I've entered bootloader manually (I get:
"TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.07.0000")
I then run the updater again, and it fails at %1 every time with "error 270"
How can I restore my device ?
Which updater are you using?
Try a ROM that matched your CID (official HTC Rom if you have a non-branded device).
Good luck.
The crash happened when I tried to update to mUn wm6 rom
Now I've got the same issue (error 270) with all the roms (even the one matching my CID)
The problem is that it says that my device sould be synchronized with activesync but I cannot connect to activesync as it only start in bootloader.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You definitely should've followed other forum member's suggestion to flash HSPL before trying mUn's WM6 ROM... I might be able to help you, though, contact me in private if you want.
I hope your trin will get alive again!!!
Please post any news after pms...
Good luck bro
Unbricked thanks to stepw. You're a genious stepw thank you so much
OK, can you please write here the procedure that helped you?
So if anyone else will have same problem, it will see the solution...
Thanks!
same Problem here with Herald....How can i flash from Bootloader if i don´t have the original HTC Rom file, that fits my CID ?
Thanks !
stepw sent me a tool he made to flash HSPL from the PC. As he is still working on it, he asked me not to distribute it but I think you can ask him with a private message
A little correction - HSPL was NOT flashed to tonio94's device, unless he flashed it manually.

Attempted WM5 Rom upgrade and got stuck!!!

Hey Guys i would need some help here i downloaded the Helmi upgrade rom but didnt seem to work. i get the device connection error before it even starts
i downloaded the official rom that i found on this forum on this link
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe
as u can c this is the one from the Imate website when i attempted to install it. it actually didnt give me a connection error and started to install but when the PDA rebooted i got that connection error back and now i am stuck at the bootloader screen with SERIAL written at the top and V. 2.06 at the bottom tried to soft and hard reset but nothing seems to happen i even disconnected the battery for 30 minutes but couldnt get it to boot
Anybody pleeeeeease heeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!!!!
Thanx
Please give us more information.
What windows are you running? XP or Vista?
Do you have an error number?
I run windows Vista and the error number i get is 101 Connection error when i attempt to run BaUpgradeUT
on the PDA the only screen i fet is the bootloader screen with SERIAL and V.2.06
Ok, the problem in flashing our precious BA under vista is that you need to replace the usb driver with an old version so the updater will work correctly.
Search the forums for vista update or vista flash and you will get the answer and the driver you need.
thanks a lot i ll try it right now been waiting for this
OK i just searched for vista flash and found this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001&highlight=vista+flash

need help agen lool
i tried updating the rom with TNT,19213 professional
and error [300] invalid update tool occured
it says this update utility cannot be used on your pda phone.please get newer update utiltiy plz plz help
You have to use SoftSPL, you can get it HERE
In this folder, you copy the "nk.nbf" of your favourite WM6 (and only this file), then start with "START-sSPL.exe" (make sure you're connected via ActiveSync).
When you read this here before, you know everything you need!
Probably you are not following the instructions and doing it correctly,try to go according to the guide,if it still doesn't work,it sometimes happens that SoftSPL fails,than you better do it through 'HardSPL'

Hang in bootloader

Hi @ all,
**** happens, yesterday i tried to upgrade my rom on charmer (mda compact 2).
During installation system hangs on and didn´t finish.
So now i have only the startscreen and can reach the bootloader.
Tried now to flash an original rom, the ruu says error 294 invalid vendor id.
Otherwise the ruu (for no id) ended with error 238 file read.
My bootloder shows IPL 1.12, SPL 1.12 and USB connected.
I have read a lot of threads but cant find a answer for that.
Has anyone a good idea?
Thanks a lot for helping.
I wish all users in that great forum a happy new year

Hi Ronni,
same problem here. Do you found any solution?
Is it right, that your Device not charging and USB is not recognizing too?
Bg

Are you trying to flash WM6 ROM to your charmer? Because WM6 required IPL and SPL level at least 2.xx.
Did you tried this method to bring charmer back to life?
wow, thank you for your quick response. Hmm, I´m not shure, it´s a PDA from a Collegue, I don´t know, what he do with it. (I know only he try to flash something) Next week he take it to our office, then I try your solution
Thank you again

error 226 upgrading vodafone diamond

Hi to everyone.
I've just bought a HTC Diamond on the vodafone network, but need to unlock it as I'm on O2's network.
I've been able to install SPL 1.4 and this shows on the boot loader page.
The problem seems to come when I try and install the 'new' rom. It goes through the whole stage up to 100%. Then on the device it says error code please try again. On my Pc it says error code 226. I've tried it on a windows vista pc, and again on XP. I've also tried it by installing it direct onto the internal storage. This again goes through the installation up to and including 1005, but then come sup with a new screen on the device saying that the update and the radio have both failed to install.
I'd really like to unlock my device and to have a new rom so that I dont have all the vodafone branding.
Like many others, I'm willing to contribute so that research and new software is developed, and I have also read the forums for many hours trying to find a solution to my problem before posting.
Hopefully I can be directed to some help.
Kind regards.
Just to update and incase anyones interested.
I ended up downloading the latest version of the official rom that I could find, then extracted the nbh file using winrar, and installed that from the internal storage which has successfully worked.
Not sure why the other rom image I had wouldn't work, just glad I've got rid of the vodafone bits really.
Regards.
