Dear All
I would like to have some urgent help on this one. I have downloaded the new Rom Update for my XDAIIs. I have successfully started the ROM update. I reached the screen when it prompted me with the device information and I clicked on UPDATE to start the process. My XDA screen went to Black with the USB indication ...and v2.06 indicated below. Nothing happened and the wizard did not proceed with any further indication except "Checking the information in your device ..." etc...It froze on this and I had to restart my PC. Now my XDAIIs is remaining on the same blacked out screen and won't boot to its previous room if I do a soft or hard reset. Have I "Killed" my XDAIIs? Is there anything I did wrong? Pls HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Ashraf
No Problem..
1. Do a soft reset (the screen will just blik once and still remain blank)
2. Put the device in cradle/USB
3. ReDo your upgrading procedure by double clicking the upgrade file
It should work then... good luck
same
Guys,
I have the same problem only a little more stupidity on my part, check it out at - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=130797#130797
As you can see kumar00455 your advice doesn't work in my situation
any other help ??

Thanks pal !
I've been able to sort out the problem. I actually needed to stop the Active Sync application on my PC so that the upgrade wizard could connect to the XDAIIs via USB and perform the update. It will not work if the Active Sync task is still running as a process.
After running the app again, the upgrade worked seamlessly without any glitch...!!!
Thanks for your support.

I've been trying to get my old extended rom and new Qtek OS on my Wizard (Vario).
But now it gets stuck in the spash screen (ie the one giving the ROM numbers).
I've tried putting the wizard into bootloader mode and I can flash RUU's but when it resets it still gets stuck on the spash screen and won't go any further !!!????
What can I do ??
Please Help
Cheers
John
I should say that I had flashed using button's ROM RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.html
and this worked fine!
I then copied across my T-mobile Extended ROM and again everything seemed OK.
BUT then I tried to restore my new saved OS ROM using aWizard and this caused a freeze on my Wizard. It was after a hard reset that the wizard stopped at the splash screen.
Now of course I'm limited in my options because Activesync won't work until the Wizard has fully booted up.
I have tried setting the Wizard into bootloader mode and tried several ROM's (RUU Installer ones) but every time the correct splash screen comes up with the new ROM numbers but that is as far as it gets.
I also noticed on hard reset that you get the following message
Format FAT partition
Format failed
it then goes to the splash screen as before.
Are there any other things I can try Or will I have to send it back to T-mobile for a replacement??
(It's only 2 months old and I have re-flashed it with the orginal T-mobile ROM - but still won't go past the splash screen!!)
I live in hope
John
I have this EXACT same problem!
I can reflash any ROM but it will not go past the splash screen. Only difference was I wasn't playing with my extended ROM. I flashed the AKU2 QTEK ROM yesterday and have been fine through several soft resets, etc. This last time I was uninstalling phonealarm and after a soft reset I got a "could not find smswakeup.exe" (or something similar) and it's been stuck ever since! I also get the "Format Failed" message. Can anyone help!?
I think I'm going to have to send it back to T-mobile and hope they give me a replacement. Something is wrong, it doesn't seem to make any difference what ROM I used.
I think I'll reload the T-mobile shipped ROM grom the FTP site and send it back - and claim ignorance that it it suddenlt freezed and now won't boot up! - Bummer!!!
Right I've logged a fault and it will be sent back - let's hope T-mobile can't detect it's been unlocked and had several ROM updates - I suspect they will try a ROM update themselves then give up ???
The worrying thing though is that it IS possible to kill your phone with updates - maybe it was when I used aWizard to try and restore a ROM that did it??? I'll be more carefull next time!!
this has just happened to one of the devices im flashing at the moment.... absolulty f**king raging :evil: :evil:
i wish teher was a solution!!? anyone got any ideas?
activesync wont find it, so aWizard wont work.
i can flash between 3 roms without any problems (1.5.x 1.6.x 2.x) but always hangs on the splash screen. i have flashed back to the default rom that it came installed with it so i could just send it back to o2 (only 2 days old!)
i would rather just get it sorted by myself thoough so if anyone has ANY ideas then please let me know.
thank you!
Good luck! after about 3 days of trying different types of firmware, I gave up and sent it to expansys, for repair. And it looks like they've lost the bloody thing now. :evil:

same problem here.
tryed to write os with awizzard after changing extended_rom.
kills phone.
format failed..
Tryed different os's from win util - failed
upgraded with sd card methode worked.
in short :
you need a working wizzard to make a os dump on sd card.
Connect to wizzard with usbterm or romupdate.exe or simular.
do a rs2all command to dump os to sd card.
stick this card in broken phone.
hold voice comm button while resetting.
On ask press voice comm button again.
it bow restores the sd backup to phone.
saved mine.....
btw sd card backup can be read ad write by pc with util ntrw.exe .
so if you don't have a working dump i can upload one.
just mail me.

hard reset your device and hold your Camera Button prior to starting the wizard back on.
when the device turns back on, you will get the boot screen. Plug in your USB cable and load one of the known ROMS like the second to last iMate ROM.
This will allow you to get past the splash screen.

Don't worry, I met the same problem as you before, almost lost my hope, but finally I managed to fix it.
The solution is simple, that is to find an original SD card backup image from your wizard or others, then try to restore it in the bootloader mode. In my case, it said checksum error or sth else after begin restoring, and it gave up. Then I put my wizard into bootloader mode, picked one offical released RUU package, start reflash again. Finnally, I found the wirzrd works again for me after reboot.
I guess the principle is that the SD restore will destroy some import flash data structure before it said wrong, then the RUU package will rebuilt it wholely in the next reflash.
Hope this helpful, and sorry for my bad english.
There is hope
Last week after trying to downgrade to the original Cingular ROM on my 8125 using aWizard I ended up with a device that was close to being a paperweight. At least I thought so until I read and read and finally was able to get it to the bootloader and then plugged in the USB cable and ran the RUU for the new Qtek ROM (2.17). Guess what happened, yeah it worked. To my surprise I had a perfect device after 15 minutes.
For about 3 hours I thought I was a toast. Never will I do that again.

Guys,
I just tried to upgrade to a new ROM on my Cingular 8125. I have upgraded from the original rom to a Mr. Clean AKU 2.3 Rom a while back. This time I tried to load Ell's AKU 3.2 Rom.
Anyway, my computer locked and restarted during the flashing process (99%)
My phone turns on and shows the colored bar screen (is this called the bootloader?). This is all it does. I'm not sure how to try and fix this. I'd like to try and reflash a rom; however, if I try to do that I get Error 260. This error says it can't find the phone which is easy to understand since Activesync can't connect since the phone won't boot.
HELP!

i had this very proglem... TURN OFF THE PHONE ASAP.. as the bootloader screen will drain your battery very quickly.... reset computer and phone... plus in the USB cord.. and in the booth loader screen in the lower left corner.. you should see USB!!! just flash workin room.. and you should be set to go.. i believe>.
When I plug the phone in it does show USB in the lower left corner; however, The rom update utility can't see the phone.
Am I doing something wrong or should I be trying to install the rom in another manner?

hmmm i dont know... try restarting both devices.. other then that i cant hlep ya.. im still new to this...
USB means it is connected.
Again, keep the battery out when you aren't doing the flash. Reboot the PC in case the link is down.
Try flashing a stable ROM, like the Mr. Clean one you used before. Activesync doesn't need to operate, the ROM will see the wizard if the wizard says USB.
Zonealarm actually interferes with my ROM flashes, although it prompts me to see if it is ok; you might turn off your firewall prior to doing the ROM flash. If you do so, disconnect from the web.
I have also the same problem with my XDA 2 mini or the other called this the HTC Magician. I try to UPgrade my Radio 1.03 to 1.12. and when im applying the upgrade procedure the Upgrading stops and error. What happen now is my XDA 2 mini or HTC magician doesnt open now. only the word "SERIAL" and when i plug the USB, the word "USB" show on the screen................... Is there some one can help me pleasssse with my problem....
Hi
I attempted to download the XDA IIi (v1.11.171) software update and during installation the software update was interrupted by my computer rebooting. Now my XDA does not boot and all it displays is "Serial V.1.01". I have tried a hard reset but it still does not boot.
I would appreciate any suggestions you could advise on how I can recover from this situation.
Thanks
you go to bootloadder and uprom again
goog luck
It doesn't sync with the pc anymore though.
Won't sync, but if you plug it in, and see the screen on the pda change to something like USB, it's connected.
It's connected, but when i go to update, it says country id error.
find this file at the ftp "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" and use it to upgrade
I fixed the problem by reflashing the rom using the ma_upgradeUt.
Thanks to everyone that helped

I'm in the same boat...
I think I'm in the process of reflashing the ROM.
I have a message, " Checking the information on your device, Please Wait"
how long should this whole process take?
Thanks
Time for an update
I waited 45 minutes for the ROM to update. It never got out of the "Checking the information on your device, Please Wait" mode. I have a bad feeling...
Its my guess that when its in the SERIAL screen and USB screen when plugged in to the Computer that its in Bootloader Mode. Is there a way to get it to load a new ROM? Or, am I trying to revive a "brick."
Thanks to all that help or explain my situation to me.

you have to quit the installer program from task manager, then rerun it, i had to do this with both my xda2 and xda2i it hangs, make sure you dont remove your phone from the cradle or out of boot loader mode.
the second time the program runs it will not find any existing info and just install the OS, it takes about 30 mins
A Little More Info, Please
