I tried to upgrade to 2003 following the direction I have read from many different posts but I failed. Now when I go into bootlegger I get GSM ERROR, when I turn the unit on I get the initial TMO screen and it remains for awhile then I get the round circle (hour glass) and then the screen stays on but it is blank. I have tried to connect using active sync but obviously that does not work. Is there anything else I can try or is the unit gone?
I really like this forum
Hello,

Crashed!!!!
What is being displayed on the screen?
Are you able to use your XDA at all?
Will it still connect to your PC via ActiveSync?
the answer to all those questions is no....
no activesync
no using the xda
the only thing that is being displayed is the startup o2 sign and in the left hand bottom corner it says
g
r
s 31.85834 (or some number)
and then it goes to a blank white page.....
it keeps swapping back and forth from these two pages
thanks
jay
Are you able to get into the bootloader?
press and hold to on/off button while soft-resetting.
Do you have a SD card reader?
Also, where did you get the xda from, just incase!?!
im gonna try the bootloader thing....but what do i do if it works (im waiting for it to charge up abit before i do that) although i dont think it is charging
i dont have a sd card yet....
o2 online....i have insurance, i think (hope) they will change it....but im going away tommorow for 4 weeks....and im stuck without a phone...so i wanted to know if there was a way that i could reinstall it again...
thanks again york for your help
jay
hey yeah i can get to bootloader
wallaby bootloader v5.22
what do i do?
it siad there is a gsm erorr?
thanks
jay
Right, well it's a start, unfortunatly without an SD card reader there is nothing that I know that will fix this problem, as you cannot use Activesync without the os loading.
I've had a quick look around the forums but all related articles on fixes suggest the need for a card reader.
When you did the upgrade, did you remember to remove the power supply first?.
It seems that leaving the power supply attached while upgrading the radio causes an internal configuration error.
If no one else here can help with your problem, you will have to send it back to O2, they will replace it for new, however, if they do kick up a fuss, remind them of the Sale of Goods Act (Amendment) 2003.
Sorry, that's about as much as I can do mate. Good luck, and don't be but off the xda by this problem, I got mine of ebay and broke the screen within a week, had to fork out another £130 for a new screen, but I'm very glad I did.
ok thanks york......
i will give o2 a call.....
thanks

Great now press the Calender button, that should put you in the GSM
bootloader mode. From there run some of the options ect.., try changing your band to 900 and see if that helps also try turning the radio off as that might let your XDA bootup.
hi....i tried that and it kep saying....
gsm turn ON fail!!
any more ideas?
thanks

"Open?" "Close?". Are you sure you are talking about an IMATE JAM, not some other kind of phone? The JAM doesn't Open or close, except for the battery casing.
thanks for everone. i tried to save my Codes Lite passwords. cause of i didnt want to try the hard reset but ...
i made it. i am now trying to save the passwords. i saw them they are stored in the storage. i will add the programme again. i hope it will save my passwords.
I executed a file "HimaClearJumpCode.exe" downloaded from xda-dev. ftp site and my XDA II rebooted and now it is just stucked. On the top of the screen it says "Serial" and at the bottom of the screen it says "v1.06". I tried to hard reset but nothing seems to be ok. All I see is this screen.

BTW, you don't have another choice, so if you don't have a backup, you lost everything, sorry! Or maybe you don't need to install anything... I don't remember...

I had this problem (but before I discovered this forum).
My PC crashed whilst upgrading my ROM to allow working with Outlook 2003 and I had the same syptoms.
I took it to my local O2 shop who took £17.50 from me and had the Xda fixed and returned inside 4 days. I was quite pleased.
Maybe I could have saved the money by fixing it as discussed here, but I'm an engine mechanic and biker - not a techie!!
If all else fails, swallow your pride and get them to do it.
As a new O2 xda exec user, I thought I should play safe and upgrade to latest ROM etc on the O2 web site. After a couple of false starts and after checking the excellent wiki advice, I got the thing to run through and complete the upgrade.
But on doing the final hard reset, I find myself with a completely garbled screen instead of the O2 splash screen. After a couple of seconds the 3 lines of text appear on the screen (the R, G and D numbers) but against the background 'snow' I can't read them. No response to keyboard or to 'random' pressing the screen. The screen eventually turns off after a few minutes but when switched back on remains with the same garbled screen as before.
Tried going through the whole process again but sadly got the same result.
Tried going into bootloader and doing a soft reset (as advised one of the many upgrade problem threads I've checked) but that also took me to the same garbled screen.
Can anyone help me out with this? I can't find anything quite like this on the Wiki or in any recent threads.
Should I try an alternative ROM? Stupid question, but is a Jasjar ROM OK on an O2 exec?
Hi - just thought I'd save people any wasted effort. This problem is now sorted.
It seems the O2 web site had linked to an out of date ROM which I downloaded and installed in blissful ignorance. Went back to the web site and found the link is now updated and gives the correct ROM version. This loaded and started up with no problems.
In case anyone reads this - although I didn't get any direct responses from the community I would still like to say a big thanks cos the Wiki and the responses to other threads are a real help. You guys have put a lot of effort into this and created a resource which is invaluable.
Top bananas!
lol...well i guess me and u were in the same boat my dude...i def did exactly da same thing u did..jus a new user getting the update and fu**ed my ish up...thanx 4 posting this tho it was some help*goes to download new update*
I cant even sync with my pc anymore i dont know wat to do
I'm no expert - as the screw up above amply demonstrates - but the failure to sync was one of the rage inducing steps I went thru too. Sometimes the PC would recognise the xda but other times it wouldn't. In my case, it was sorted by reading in another part of the forum how to get into bootloader mode by pressing the light and on/off button at the same time as using the stylus to press the soft reset. This should take you into boot loader - an apparently dead screen but if you look closely you should see 'Serial' at the top and 'v0.xx' at the bottom.
If you reconnect by USB cable to your PC the 'Serial' should change to 'USB' and in my case I was able to run the software on my PC to update the ROM.
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but hope this works for you. Otherwise check out the Wiki section (wiki.xda-developers.com) which has lots of good tips.
i fixed it i had jus installed a new rom
Hello all,
I've been following the upgrade to wm6 on this site for a while now, and i've been following the 'idiots guide' to upgrading.
I've followed the guide to a T, but for an unknown reason it doesn't upgrade only to show as an error 260.
I'm using windows vista, i have checked all the usb ports and re-connected to other ports to make sure it was connected correctly. The icon shows green bottom right of taskbar, and all seems fine until i go through the motions i get the red green blue screen with usb in bottom left of screen sometimes i get to go as far as the bar saying 2/3% updating then it all goes pear shaped. I've used the start_uspl application, and also the official rom from htc to no avail.
Luckily i've not bricked the xda yet.
Would anyone have idea's as to what i'm doing wrong? Many thanks
Try reading this. Might help. And use search next time, plz.

Vista woes
Like you I had no success in flashing on a Vista Machine. When I took myself to an XP PC the problem vanished and it worked like a dream. I am now running the HTC WM6 ROM with no problems.

Well you're clever aren't you! One post and and you're a total wizard.
For your info, i've been through many a posts and search many a threads re this topic.
But thanks for the sarcasim, and the link.
I'm sorry if you found my post sarcastic. I didn't had this in my mind. I have Vista as well, and i spend one night full of curses and swears to flash my Artemis. It was unforgettable experience
Anyway, no offence and good luck with flashing
