[Q] Upgrading O2 XDA IIs - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi Guys,
I have upgraded my device to d-two WM 6.1 21056 ROM, now I want to upgrade it again but it's not working??
I set my device to bootloader screen and run the chef tony ruu upgrade file, but it can't find my device on that screen then i can't upgrade it.
Please turn me to the right direction, as I've upgrade it to different roms before now its not working. :/
Thanks.

btw, I have Windows 7 32bit.

Bad OS
Make upgrade at Windows XP SP2 or SP3
-edit-
sorry i don't check date of this post... :/

That cool, I just needed to know that... Why can't we upgrade using Win7??

Upgrade under WIN7

Hi all, I'm a novice in the present company.
I too have flashed to d-two's WM 6.1 21056 ROM following the How to Flashen HR EN, all goes fine until I get to the Hard Reset to Boot Options, to put the options "Clean Registry Hive" and "Format Storage" to YES. Although there is nothing wrong with the camera and record buttons (they make Boot Options menu appear ok) they have no effect in changing the option, and toggling the answer NO/YES. Is this step essential? Is there an obvious solution or workaround? It seems to be working without doing this (except for a small hardware fault in the speaker after I had opened it to clean up water damage, 'nuther story)
Thanks
Henry

Try MTTY (look in one of my posts where it says stuck at 4 color screen...)

Updating to WM6 ROMs on Vista

Hey All-
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am having problems updating to any of the WM6 ROMs out there (up here). One of a few things is happening:
1) Either RUU crashes just after it successfully sends my PDA in to bootloader mode, or
2) RUU is able to stay up, but for some reason, does not like the update file:
I either get an error: "This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get a newer NBF file.", or
it suggests the nbf file is "corrupted", I think indicating the RUU util I am running is out of synch with what the PDA is expecting.
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA (Vario?) and Vista.
I've tried all of the solutions I have been able to find:
* changing the driver to HTC USB Sync so that it can "reconnect" once in bootloader
* various flavors of the update utility to get around the crash, which do not let me upgrade to the ROM of choice!
* hard reset of the device
* I even tried pulling down one of the ROM upgrades from the T-Mobile dowloads site and dropping that in with a WM6 ROM nbf file. That was a huge flop.
I know people have done this! I've seen it over and over again. So what in the world stupid thing am I doing to not make this work?
Thanks.

RUU doesnt work on Vista. Use shelltool.
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure it was good advice, but I am three hours in to it running now, and I don't have a good feeling about it. I think it says it would take at least 15 minutes. Not 180! Ugh, now I wonder what I should do?

How do you do that? Thank you because when i try to downgrade my ROM or w/e so that i can unlock it when i gots to bootloader the fred green blue thingy it doesnt reconnect to active sync and maybe thats my probelm...=[
chaos, just look around for the RUU with Vista instructions- they are everywhere!
hey mate,
just follow this instructions http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977 to falsh every official ROM under MS Vista. Surely, when it comes to WM6 you gotta use the Shelltool.

Answer for Vista
My question is why don't people just dual boot vista with xp or 2000/etc...that would solve a lot of issues about the problems with vista.. just boot to xp..
I figure if you have the $Funds$ to spend on a $250+ phone you could shell out $50 for a 150gb 16mb cache HDD for your pc and dual/tri/quad/etc... sheeet son i've been doing this for years with linux/m$/mac.
Gotta face it, some software just runs better on one OS over another. peace out.

I tried it, took like 6 minutes then it was completed, knowingly it wasnt flashed right, but did the hard reset on the phone and was stuck at the SPL screen, so just loaded up VMWare to reflash.
It worked for me...
I flashed one of the WM6 ROMs using my Vista Ultimate computer. One of the main parts in making the thing work is remembering to put your computer in bootloader before doing it. On post #7 in the MoDaCo thread, it says this.
Once more, here is the link: http://www.modaco.com/RUU-on-Vista-It-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide-t252977.html
so your saying witht hat tut you flash a custom rom??
Yes
Yes I was able to. I don't remember which, but I think i was Core 2.0
Yeah, I was able to use shelltool to make this happen. Thanks for the feedback, folks. Only hang up was that it had appeared to have seized up (was seemingly stuck before the "End" portion). I waited for like 3 hours before I finally threw up my hands and hard reset the unit. Low and behold my wizard booted up in to the new ROM and I have been good to do since!

Upgrade to 6 stuck on windows loading

Hi,
I got given a couple of Treo 750 phones. Both on the Optus Australian Network so I scratched around for days and found the upgrade software. Shows update 2.27
1st one went perfect.
2nd one on same computer got through copying files and executing update and stalled at the start of completing update.
I got the Windows mobile screen show and it just was not loading for ages. Previous one loaded and then asked for input of Date, touch screen settings etc.
The installer can be re run but says no USB connection at the moment.
I have done a hard reset and get the palm display then locks on the Windows Mobile screen.
I saw procedures to use the Mini SD card but the cards I have won't work in any treo, they are not SDHC type but standard 2G ones.
I next found the recovery tool but holding the left lower button and then hitting reset did not work but does work on my good phone where it shows the coloured bars and SPL....
The left button is a bit dodgy so I suspect it may be faulty. Is there anything else I can try?
EDIT: Ok I pulled apart the phone, looks like it had a hard life as broken case around two screws and they would not unscrew easily. Found the tiny button had dry solder joints. Fixed that up and was able to recover using the reset proceedure.
Phone now working.
could you explain in more detail what you did. thanks man

What would you like to know?
Once I physicaly repaired the phone as indicated in the edit I was able to hold the left hand button (which was faulty) and the reset at the same time that allowed me to get into the SPL mode and recover the phone.
I understand it very little and most posts on these forums are over my head.
I would like windows 6.1 but there is so much information that seems to conflict that I don't know I am game since it is now working on an official 6.0 Optus version.
I am happy to help but if you can maybe tell me where you are at the moment and what you want to acheive and what you have tried I hope I can fill in the gaps for you.
because im new to this to and i got stuck in the windows screen also. so i would like to know what to download and where from and step by step if you could please.
thanks man

Ok to start with what country are you in and what telco were you with eg Vodafone etc as you will need that as a start.
USA and im with AT&A
Try the method describe in the thread below - Mine work
Hi, you might want to try this method
Follow it one by one and do not skip a step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460783
I just did mine last Saturday (it was a Vodafone phone)
AT&T should be easier since the Windows 6 ROM is easier to get
If you'd like to update to WM 6.1, you should upgrade first to WM 6
Something i read about the radio not working to full capacity if you upgrade straight to 6.1
As for the WM 6 ROM, i'm sure you can find it
Good luck
Hi All,
I have a Treo 750 and it WAS running WM 6.0 Professional (OFFICIAL) and I got it onto the phone and then tried to install WM 6.5 and then I downgraded to 5.0 and tried to update back to 6 and it bricked my treo, any of you wonderful xda ppl have any solution?
Also, I have tried installing the ROM again (via SD updater) and it looks like this:
SPLASH1 OK
BOOTLOAD OK
GSM OK
Micro P OK
EXTROM FAIL
OS
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
I cant install the windows installer one as WMDC 6.1 or ActiveSync 4.5 WILL NOT show the device up on the computer. I have Windows Vista Home Basic, and when I tried MTTY, the only ports I get are COM1, COM2, and COM3. I can't get the usb to show up. Even with MTTY 0.01 when I got the USB connection, it would not open. Is it Vista? Or am I not doing it right? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TO GET MY POOR TREO BACK!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Is this universal (i.e. Hermes/BA/Trinity) or just for the Treo 750. I think what bricked it in the first place was installing a custom rom by veisen (WM 6.5)

Solution for flashing from Vista 64bit and postin only once
I do have the solution for your issues (specially looking the amount of posts you have done since your incorporation to XDA-Dev's):
1) Go to the top of the page, near to your username
2) Look the third link in the brown menu bar, from the right (LogOut, QuickLinks, ...)
3) That's right: this one which says "Search". Click on it.
4) Write "Flashing from Vista" in the combo which appeared
5) Read the issues with Vista and specially with Vista 64 bit or even XP 64 bit
6) You'll have the solution, and you'll have found it by yourself. That's to be proud !
6b) In some cases, you'll find it's too hard to flash from Vista and you need XP or the use of SD card ;-p
thanks buddy but actually i am using xp32. so now?
is your phone Hard spl?

That's not Win XP 32bit...
On the other side, if you use Win XP 32 bit, did you hard-SPL ? Can you put all the data about your device ? (SPL, Radio, etc.) so that we can know what is happening ?

I too had trouble flashing the default ROM on my Wing. The secret is actually to open up the official RUU application, then search your Temp folder for two NBH's, the RUU_signed.nbh, and the SPL.nbh. You need to then copy them into the RUU folder of Flash Center, run that as administrator, and make sure to flash without SD card. That's the way that I used to restore mine to stock from Hard-SPL.

Help: can I get instructions to get WM side (Snapvue) working again

After flashing radio 1.27 I can't get Snapvue working again.
Reinstalling Vista didn't help. Even the sound doesn't work in Vista.
Ecshift and mmty don't help to reset the system.
Can't get SoftSPL installed.
somebody any idea?
Did you HardSPL before you flashed the radio?
Re-installing Vista wont help with the WinMo side.
what threads did you read ? What exactly did you try
Before people are going to put in the effort, please help us help you..
Which threads on this forum have you read about this problem ?
And what actions (eg command sequences) did you try to get
your shift working again?
---
My best bet is that you should use ECshift.exe /bl to get to the bootloader,
then flash ThaiHugo's radio and then his ROM. Should work.
P.S. forget Vista on your Shift, really if you can afford it, use Windows 7 ultimate and use SD card for "readyboost"

Thx for helping me with this item.
I had a good working gullum rom with wm 6.5
then the phoneconnection couldn't anylonger be established.
so I flashed radio 1.27
since then I have a black screen..
I went to all the proposals given in the threads about black screen in snapvue.
Didn't first knew that installing Vista aknew didn't help me on the WM side.
Know it by now, since a few weeks ago.
Have installed both Vista and Windows 7
Both do have soundproblems.
Flashed after your proposal yesterday
- ShifthardSPLfinal
- radio 1.27 rad
- the light rom
No working screen.
Should I still try another radio?
Which one? Could you give me a linl?
HardSPLed again.
had a look with mtty info 2
It was!
Flashed radio.
Then thaihugo's ROM Full.
Black!
Is there another way to reset SNAPVUE? Or have a look inside to "see what is wrong"?

[Q] I'm pleading. Help me load my kaiser please.

Please, I tried loading Android on my At&t Tilt, and it wasn't successful, so I decided to switch back to Win 6.5, but could not load beyond
"Smart Mobility"
R 1.70.01iNex
G 25.65.30.04H
D 1.56.00.00
Please, I'll appreciate your help and concern. I've spent more than 10 hours trying to fix it using most of the thread posts.
I will love helpers to be specific on how to change back to win 6.5, and the complete tools for making android work on it.
I will also love someone who can help me through chat page on facebook or yahoo. My id is tundelogic for both. Thanks in anticipation and God bless you.
If I understand correctly, you've installed Android into NAND and later WM 6.5. In this case you must firstly install original WM 6.1 and only then WM 6.5

I tried installing android, but it didn't install, after much trial, I felt switching back to WM ROM will work for me.
Please, don't be annoyed can u please post links of all I'll need to get my phone back to WM 6.1. i.e
Hard SPL to be used, Radio to use and Rom to use. I appreciate your response. Thank you.

Because there were some problems for you while trying to flash Android, I recommend firstly to enter bootloader (hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus (button for reset is near miniUSB port; just put stylus in it and push for a few seconds); you'll see tri-color screen with SPL version...), then connect it to computer and finally run WM 6.1 EXE file (in case you're using Windows 7, set file compatibility mode to XP <- I'm not sure if it's necessary).
Thanks I'll get back as soon as I'm successful. Please, if you won't mind, can you please give me your chat id, so that if I have any issue, I can reach you quickly. Thanks once again. Y! [email protected].
