XDA 1 not working

Hi,
I was upgrading the software upgarde on my device. I successfully upgraded the Pocket PC software on the O2 XDA, but when I tried to upgrade the GSM radio/GPRS software of the O2 XDa, it gave some error and after this my device is not starting at all. The only mistake I did was that "I did not remove the SIM card before upgrading the GSM radio/GPRS software" The device does not start even after cold booting the same. When I start the device, the O2 screen comes and after a quite long time the main window does come but I cannot do anything. I tried to tap on contacts, time, tasks but nothing happens. I can see the windows logo wall paper but cannot do anything. Please help on how I can restore back my O2 as a cold reset also does not work. :?
Thanks and Regards
Jinesh

Hi,
I have tried all the available options but it still does not work. To restore the ROM how do I get access to the O2 cause niether serial nor USB is detecting it.
Please help.

SD card install guide
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

Thanks Chief, I will try out and let you know.

Hi Rudegar,
I tried the procedure given by you. I was able to write to the flash successfully. After writing to the flash it gave a message "Checksum OK, Please cold reboot to reset".
I did a cold reboot. After starting the O2, it showed the O2 logo screen and after quite a long time, it asked me wether I want to format the SD card or not. After that it took me to the default screen of XDA wher eit showed options like "Add today's date, Contacts, Schedule etc etc. but upon tapping any of the options the O2 behaves erratically. If I tap on today's date it takes me somewhere else. Inshort it does not work.
I again did a cold reboot and now the device is in its original position i.e not going after the O2 logo where it gets stuck up.
One thing I would like to mention is that all these activities have been done putting the O2 on the cardle only as the battery is totally discharged and the device turns on only after putting it on cradle. Even after the cold reboot it does not start unless I put it on the cradle whichis connected to the mains. Is it Ok with this or am I doing something wrong? The battery does not charge and hence I have to do it in this way.
Please suggest what wrong am I doing? Any suggestions from anyone will be welcome.

Hi,
Someone posted the original O2 ROM on this site and I downloaded the same after which I was partially succesful in flashing the ROM and reviving my dead O2 back to half life. :roll:
I burned the ROM on
to my SD Card and flashed the ROM on to my O2. After
successfully flashing the ROM I rebooted the device.
The device now starts Windows but it takes atleast 15
minutes to start. I get the today screen. WHen I cick
on start the start menu appears after a delay of 10
seconds and all applications run normal, however all
this happens only on the Cradle only.
When I go into the Battery Settings it shows "Battery
Status Unknown".
Also none of the phone functions work. The SIM card is
not recognized and in device information it does
dispaly the "IMEI number" and the "Protocl Version"
I am only able to use inbuilt phone applications.
Is there some problem with my battery cause it is not
charging even on the cradle.
Device Information does not show Radio Version, Protocl Version & IMEI number at all.
Can anyone please help me?

hello all,
it means that your radio stack are dead. Currently, We don't have any real method to fix this problem. When the radio stack is error, you can not upgrade it or do anything to make it work. We can only upgrade or downgrade the radio stack if it works. Also if you try to upgrade the radio stack, we realy need to flash the chip using a speceial tool or need the sd card which build in radio stack with we can only flash in bootloaading mode. Howerver, in some case, we can fix it but .... I think it is just lucky or the xda error when battery problem.... in this case, just disconnect the battery few minutes and connect it again by pressing the battery hole.
Regards,
Hoanghon
p.s. I have dead xda. I killed it when I upgraded the RADIO STACK. Therefore, if you are really need to upgrade the radio stack, I recommend use the official upgrade for secuirity. or just upgrade the rom only.
Note:
To eliminating the error, you need to upgrade the rom or the radio stack, you need to check if the rom fix the radio stack or the stack you are trying to upgrade it fix the rom or not.(ie, Tmobile Rom have to use it radio stack built for Tmobile pocket pc...... I know that in some case when we mix between the radio stack and OS it works but I don't think it work propertly. Anyhow the mixing bettween radio stack and OS is very dangerous if it doesn't suppport then you have to reflash the radio stack or rom(the OS is Okay but the keep upgrading the radio stack may cause the radio stack killed)

Hi,
Thanks all for the replies.
Can anyone tell me how doI repair the radio stack?
Regards
Jinesh

no way without having special RSU rom update on SD card and run it from bootloader or dissembling the device and reprograming GSM rom on special rom/bios programing socket. (Here on forum is user Cgigate from Toronto CA who can do it but I cant contact him)

I think I killed my wallaby...Help

I was writing the new rom to my t-mobile pocket pc 2002 (to unlock the sim) when my pc shut down...now all the pocket pc shows is "upgrading it will take 5 minutes"
but nothing happens...I think I killed it

It isnt dead, you will need to download xdatools, then go cook a rom in the kitchen, at the bottom of the screen in rom kitchen choose "card flashing, I think its the second option on the list. Once you have downloaded the file you will need an sd memory card of at least 64 meg and a usb card reader/write. Launch xdatools, choose the downloaded file as "source", from the "drop down" menu in destination choose your sd card in reader/writer. When the card has been programmed place the card in your phone, push stylus in reset hole while holding down power button, when prompted to program rom push centre of 4 way navigation button. Make sure the phone is charged before doing this. Once done push unscrewed stylus top into the hole next to headphone socket, push once only, wait one minute, push once more, you should now have a phone that reboots with your chosen rom. There is another method for programming using sd card and xdarit. To download xdatools, just place your mouse pointer over the word xdatools, a popup menu will appear with option to download. The popup sometimes is delayed so be patient for a few seconds with pointer over the word xdatools.

Thanks...I d/l xda tools but I cannot find the option for rom kitchen....is it in the program xda os image tool?

Thanks for the help guys...do I need to unzip the new rom when I download it?

Thanks alot guys....I got the rom back on!!!
But when I run xda unlock i get an "error getting unlock code message"
Any help please...I want to unlock this .

If you include xdaunlock with a 2002 rom you cook it will unlock automatically, once it is unlocked you can then burn your choice of wm2003 rom. Use same method as before.

T-Mobile USA PPC PW10B1

Hi, let me start off byapologising if this issue has been dealt with before but I am fairly new to the board and I am also a complete novice when it comes to these types of phones.
My problem is this. I have a T_Mobile USA PPC Wallaby, I live in England and I would like to unlock it so that I can use an O2 chip in it. I need an SID code to use the O2 chip which T-Mobile USA will not give to me because I do not have an account with them. I tried XDAunlock but it kept saying "Error getting unlock code". I tried to install "XDA-developers-SER-v12" but I kept getting the error message "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting devicedata" and then "Cannot execute the remote communication program.
Please make sure the USB/Serial cable is properly connected". I also tried using "xdadev_all_unlock-v1.3" with no luck. In fact, all I have been able to do is downgrade the Radio Stack (whatever that does?)
My device is.....
ROM Version : 4.01.16
Radio Version : 4.21.00
Protocol Version : 32S54
Hardware Version : PW10B
I am using Activesync 3.8 with Xp Home installed on my desktop. If anyone has any insight into this please could you help me with it?
Many thanks.

As already told via PM:
You have to install the special Edition ROM via SD-Card since you´re actuell ROM-Version prohibits flashing via EXE-File....
Extract the Specialedition ROM EXE file with winzip. You get an directory English where the ROM (NK.nbf) is located.
Download XDATools ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip
Extract them at any place and run osimagetool
Select the NK.nbf File in the Source drop down menu.
Select your SD card (disk drive) from Destination the drop down menu.
Select Copy to start writing process and the tool should start writing to the card.
When XDATools has finished writing the image (no Infomessage) put the SD-card into your device
If there comes a message to format the SD-card select No
Hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a " Hard Reset"

Success!!!
Wow! Thanks Stefan, that actually worked and I now have the Special Edition Rom installed on my device! The only problem I have now is that I have no signal Do I need to upgrade my Radio Stack?

No, normally not.
You could try changing Bands in bootloader, but normaly it shoud work....
Code:
Changing radio bands on Wallaby using the Bootloader
This page describes how to change radio bands on a Wallaby phone using the bootloader. If you change to a band that is not supported by your phone, your radio will receive less signal than with the bands it was tuned for. I.e. if you have a 900/1800 phone (Model number on sticker printed on back says "PW10A" instead of "PW10B") then if you change to 1900 MHz your phone will not be tuned right. If your sticker on the back says PW10B, then using the 1800 band is likely to degrade signal quality.
Changing bands
1. Press and hold the power button on top of the device
2. Go to the bootloader by gently pressing and releasing the stylus in the largest of the two holes on the bottom of the device
3. Release the power button
4. Wait for the screen to say "GSM OK"
5. Press the 'calendar' button on the right above the screen
6. Select the GSM band of your choice from the menu using the rocker switch under the display
7. Press the center of the rocker switch to confirm
8. Perform a soft-reset by pressing and releasing the stylus in the large hole again, this time without holding the power switch
Is your device really unlocked?
Can you search manually for networks? Do you find any one?
Have you the possibility to try another SIM-card?
Stefan

Boo Hoo Hoo!
The good news is that I now know how to install new Roms using the method you provided, yay! But now I cant get any signal at all and it does not seem to be able to find any networks, boo.

?????????
Since messing with the Radio Stack I have been unavle to get asignal or even pick up any networks? And I dont seem to be able to upgrade it to what it was? The only Stacks I can get to work are the exe type from the ftp server here, the zip files ones dont seem to work for some reason, and I need 6.25 which is only available as a zip. Does anyone have 6.25 as an exe type?

Thank God!
Well, I must be a complete dunce. I managed to upgrade the Radio Stack back to 6.25.02 and thanks to the help from LumpiStefan (and the fact that he was very patient with my complete noviceness) I am able to use my O2 chip and my PPC is now a phone as well!

Upgrading PW10A1 to wm2003se (or whatever)

Hi all! was hoping someone can advise me what to do...
My device is ESCORT PCT206, which is a turkish version of Wallaby (PW10A1, ROM version 3.14.13ENG, bootloader 3.15).
So, I tried upgrading via SD card and couldn`t get it to work. When I start bootloader I can see that message to press action if I want to download, but when I do I get only regular first screen from where you get those various tests etc.
Then I tried upgrading with XDA Tools and also directly with .exe files (some downloaded from xda-developers ftp, some cooked on romkitchen) and whichever option I try - it simply doesn`t work - pocket pc resets millisecond after the upgrading line shows on the screen and active sync on my PC dies (then when I start it again it won`t sync with pocket pc before restarting windows).
Anyone had similar problems? Or simply knows another way of upgrading to wm2003se or wm2003?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Stefan,
thanks for your reply.
Well, I guess I have - if action button is the central joystick button. If not, then please tell me which one is it...
Thanks!

T-mobile Mda stuck on boot screen

ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
Gsm 02.25.11
os 2.26.10.2
Any help plz guys
EDIT... FIXED THE PROBLEM Found this in and it worked...
Ok here´s how I done it.
First, I must explain what was the problem.
After update the firmware (not actually upgrade, I had the phone full of trash, so I decided to reflash same firmware v2.18 PTG), the Qtek 9100 / HTC Wizard freezed at 2nd splash screen (the one that shows OS versions IPL version, ect). Tried many different versions, upgraded to 2.24, 2.25, downgraded even to 1.6.7.3, but always same problem, freezed on second splash screen. I read many topics on xda-dev, and seen some people with same problem. Apparently there was 2 solutions. 1- send phone back to warranty. 2- write backup ROM from SD in bootloader.
Passed more then 15 hours asking for this SD backup everywhere, and COULDN´T find any help. Apparently no one had this "SD dump ROM Backup".
So here´s how I solved my problem
1- I tought that a SD backup was needed, and yes it is. But u can use your own phone and your own SD to do it.
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem

5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
The only Port Selections available are:
COM1
COM2
COM3
COM4
COM5
What am I doing wrong?

i got the same problem too
only com1 and com2 r there
pleace help me

Yes please someone help!
I want to try this, too, but my mtty tool only shows some com-ports and not WCEUSBSH001 ! what's wrong?
Does this work with mini sd cards bigger than 128 mb, too? is there a limit?

ok, I have the right port in mtty tool now, but...
when I enter "r2sd all" and press enter it says this:
r2sd all
***** user area size = 0x77F00000 Bytes
R2SDBackup() - Download type = 5
usTotalBlock = 1 sizeof(SDCARD_SIGNATRUE_TABLE)=512
You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image
Cmd>
what can I do?
any help is greatly appreciated!
