hi guys
got my hands on a old XDA IIs last night which was running on 2003SE. I am using windows vista by the way
I followed d-two's method on updating via vista and got the updater to recognize the phone and install the rom. the rom was installed successfully as per the screen but after i do the last part on the hive cleaning and storage formatting, the phone restarts to a white screen and nothing happens.
I tied wm6.5 first before trying wm6.1. but nothing has helped.
What do i do now?
i have the same problem

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'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
Hi guys,.. i have been trying to upgrade my P3600 over 2-3 weeks now but i reach the same problem always, and that is simply.... I have managed the RADIO Rom to 1.41.00.111, but when i try to update the operating system.. with... Lvsw 2.0.1.1 / Mary 2.0 / PDAVIET 3.00.07.09 ... everything goes far with the updating.. i can see the progress bar, it reaches 100%, the screen on my mobile goes black... and it says on my computer to follow the info on my mobile and close the update application.
Now at this time my mobile is totally black (shut off i guess)... i have waited for more than 5 minutes but since nothing happens, i have restarted the mobile with a soft rest... but after the rest i still have my OLD operating system....
What am i doing wrong?.... I have read through bunch of threads on the forum, but haven't seen anyone else whom have had this problem.. or is it simply that i should wait even longer time and the mobile should start up by itself?....
Appreciate any help & suggestion...
can anyone help me?...
I've tried to update my HTC3600, by using the "WM6 Official - Any Device" from http://trinityguide.info, and it just doesn't work... I have updated Hard-SPL, and then tried to apply "Official Dopod ROM" ... the only thing it did was to revert my Radio-ROM back to 1.46.xxx (from 1.50.xxx i had before)...
But the OS was never updated to WM6... I have tried a bunch of different WM6 ROMs now during the weekend, nothing has helped... even tried some application to unlock CID (what is it actually ???).
The only thing I've managed is to update my own OS using the official swedish ROM (I've bought my HTC in sweden). And i've been able to update my Radio ROM to 1.46.xxx, 1.50.xxx.. as well as installing different HARD-SPL.
But i've so far not been able to install ANY WM6, or WM5 cooked ROM's .. so pleaaaaaaase help my guides... I'm starting to go nuts over this...
Appreciate any advise & help.. thanks in advance !
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
~Mike

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)

Didnt Work
That one thing didn't work. It keeps coming up ERROR 226: FLASH WRITE ERROR Anything else???

I just tried to Soft SPL my XDA and it was successful up until the Automatic Update ROM program which failed to find a ROM, gave me an Error 240, and has left my XDA with a white screen. It won't connect to Active Sync but my PC can still see it as a USB object. Help!
Managed to fix this... just removed the battery and SIM and it rebooted as normal and it loaded up with the original O2 OS. Thank god...
