Hello,
My XDA is dead. I can't soft/hard reset it and when I try to get into the bootloader screen it also does nothing .
I tried to upgrade the ROM using an SD card. First I loaded the wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 on the SD card using xdarit.exe. Then I used xdarit.exe again to load the NK.nb1 file on my SD card. I then put the SD card in my XDA and loaded the bootloader by pressing the power+softreset button. It said i had to press the start key and so I did. It then started doing the upgrade from SD which did not give any errors.
When it was finnished I did a cold boot (that's what my XDA screen said) but nothing happened. I can't even get it in to the bootloading screen (SR+power).
Anyone know a solution to my painfull problem?
Thanks a lot,
Wouter.
Exactly the same problem here.
Seemed to go ok but didnt restart
Hi,
After ROM flashing, usually you should do a cold reboot then wait for about 60 sec then perform a 2nd cold reboot.

Its worth trying that, just poke the hole in bottom right of xda on time, wait a minute then poke once more, let us know if it works.
Still no go
Got myself a I-mate Pocket PC but would like to get the o2 goin again

A history of what has been done:
at first a perfectly working factory default XDA with a rom that dated back to fall 2002.
Connected to a Compar laptop running WinXp, ActiveSync 3.5 (build 12007)
Tried to flash Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.exe to the XDA, the flash went all-ok as far as 45% or 53% and froze after that. After being frozen for more than 5 minutes gave a message "flash failed" and booted the XDA, and started flashing all over again with the same result (this cycle repeated about 10 times)
After which I deleted the flash-related files from the XDA:sta startup directory, during while it was flashing.
Booted the XDA
Worked seemingly fine, except that none of the GSM functions vere operational. At first nothing else seemed to be wrong, but then the XDA completely failed to recognize the AC power connection. It insisted that it ran on battery even thou the power cord was connected. Even tried a different powerplug on the wall. Also the power utility from the settings meny gave "uknown" as batterylife.
Tried to flash the XDA with Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703.exe, but could not even start the procedure, as it insists on an early phase that the AC powercord must be connected, and since it doesn't recognize the connetion it simply aborts.
Desperate after this tried a hard reset.
After that the XDA doesn't boot properly: it gets past the inital "plash screen" into making a beep sound and displaying a white screen with blue thick bar (empty) on top. I'v booted the machine about 20 times like this by now, always with the same result. Some times it doesn't get as far as the blue-white empty window. If I leave it at that the XDA simply reboots itself after being frozen in the white-blue screen for over 2 minutes.
I left the machine at the table and went to the gym after coming back it had gotten past the white-blue screen, to the initial phase after hard reset where it says "tap screen to setup your XDA" I tapped the screen and it went to clicking through the crosses on the screen to initialize. I managed to click 1 cross, after which the XDA froze completely and did not react for 15 minutes.
After that single incident getting past the white-blue screen, I haven't been able to repeat it. I have tried to boot with SIM and SD, with SIM only, with SD only, and without both: the same results with each.
I have another XDA at my disposal, and a SD card. Could the device still be rocoverable somehow through using that other XDA to copy something into the SD card and booting.
Please tell me do I have a paper weight on my hands, or can I somehow recover from this. Thank you!
Yea that’s a good place to start use the other XDA to copy it ROM+Boot to the SD card and use that to reflash your ROM. You do that by entering bootloader mode and select CE+Boot. Hopefully you won't get the dreaded Check Sum after the reload!
Do you have access to a PC SD card reader, because you're go to need
one!

It appears my XDA O2 has the 5.17 version of the bootloader. When I boot into the bootloader it says "GSM error" at first, when I press the action button, it says "GSM turn on" and after a while "GSM turn on failed!!" and freezes there. Is this the kind of an error that prevents me from flashing a ROM from a SD card even if I had one? Since it gets stuck with that GSM error thing, and never even actually goes to the bootloader menu... why do I need a PC SD card reader? wouldn't just using the other XDA to copy the ROM and then flash it to the broken one do the trick?
Thanks, for the reply btw, for a while I was thinking that nobody would help me - and my situation is hopeless. Not atleast there is some light at the end of the tunnel..
Try pressing the Calendar button instead of the Action.
BTW You would need a PC SD card reader to load the needed radio stack upgrade files on to your device if all else failed plus if the CE+Boot backup to SD failed with that other XDA you could use XDArit to write another ROM to SD.

Thanks, that appears to work: the button on the left brings up the ROM+BOOT etc menu, and the button on the right (calendar) brings up the menu for setting the GSM (different options, like on, off, 900, 1800, etc). Since the local time is 00:36, I'll try the tricks with the other XDA O2 tomorrow..
You're right I'm sorry, its the Contacts button for CE+Boot!
WOW 00:36 its 14:47 here in LV, NV US anyhow good night and check you tomorrow.
I installed the O2 rom upgrade 1.6044, and let both my PC and XDA do their thing for an hour or so. Then my PC screen realeased to desktop and my XDA only had the "Radio Upgrade" notice on it. I reviewed the install directions and it said "Follow screen instructions and perform a hard reset" I didn't have screen instructions, so I proceeded with the hard reset. (everything is backed up!) I am now hung up on the 2nd splash screen with the bubbles (1st splash screen has ROM version 1.6 and "GSM Off" in red letters at the bottom) , and the XDA won't go any further.
From reading this board, it sounds like I need to reset my bootlauncher, but can this be done from an SD card? Do I move the ROM to the SD card from my PC, then restart the XDA with the SD card installed? How is this done? The support center wants to keep the unit for 5 days, and I can't get to HK until the weekend. I'd like to fix it on my own before then.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The same sort of this has happened to me, have one XDA in for repiar that freezes on the first screen, looks as though someone has done a bad upgrade and ruined the bootloader.
Could some one please tell me how to boot an XDA from the SD card, what files do I need on the card? etc...
Thanks,
MRS
you need a memory card about 64MB. Here is the most easiest to do and very safety
Borrow PPC PHONE from other and put the SD card into it.(any carriers don't worried your phone remains unlocked)
now. hold the power button at the same time use stylus to reset the big hole on the left(not he small hole for battery) then remove the stylus out of the reset hole
Now the screen will boot up in bootloader ( you can see WALLABY Boot Loader)
now press the contact button (on the left siee below the power button)
you will see FLASH TOOLS
SELECT CD+BOOT TO SD
THEN HIT ENTER ( THE BIGEST BUTTON WIHICH YOU CAN SELLECT UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT)
NOW WAIT FOR IT Download to SD card and will notice as it done
Remove it from the pocket pc phone, then put it on your pockt pcphone to upgrade the boot loader and the window mobile
Now, hold down power button and press on reset hole(like you did on the previous ppc phone) and remove the stylus
Now you can see this on the screee"
SD Download
CARD TYPE:
CE OS
Press ACTION
To Download
or
Press REC
to EXIT
You will choose Press ACTION to upgrade you Pocket PC Phone.(the bigest button left right up down) Press it down.
Now wait for it complete upgrade about 5 minutes.
After that you reset the battery hold and wait 1 minute and press the battery hole to boot up pocket pc phone.(right small hold on the right)
Now you have the carrier that you install (wheither AT&T, T_Mobile.....) Now if you want to upgrade WM 2003, go ahead to offical site to get free upgrade 2003.
hoaghon, your process is perfect but suits only XDA I, not XDA II
For the mentioned problem, is the device still recognized by ActiveSync or not ?
Hi!
I have a HTC P3300.
I bought a 4Gb SDHC card, and it won't work. I read at the forum that I would need a different rom, so I downloaded "Artemis_Touch_4.02_Full_with_no_cube", which would have sdhc-support.
Then I executed "STEP 1 - activesync then uspl cid unlocking.bat", that finished ok, and then "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat", which stopped with an error 302.
After a restart all that came up was the boot loader. I then tried to flash the original rom (HTC WM6 Dutch) from the computer, but that ended also in an error.
I tried the SD upgrade (rename .nbh file to ARTEIMG.nbh, put it on a formatted sd-card and load it in my phone), and it finished without errors, saying I should press any key.
After pressing a key, the bootloader popped up again.... :S
Can anyone help me? I have been searching the forum and trying to get my phone to work since 21:00 and I haven't got any progress at all!
well sorry for that
did you tried to make hard reset?
and once i had a completely dead artemis.. no sign of life..but it fixed by the following..(and maybe this may help you cuz the flasheng goes not like usual)
while your mobile is off.. press the record botton and the camera and it should starts with usual sd card flashing.
for me this what happens.
the setup was in three phases as i saw... and it took about 30 mins .
maybe it will works for you
I also tried a hard reset, wouldn't work.
I pressed and hold the camerabutton, but nothing happend...
Maybe the battery is empty, so I pressed and hold the camera button while plugging in the usb-cable.
It started the SD-upgrade, and is still busy.
The update ended with a "press any key to continue".
But when I pressed a key, the boot loader popped up :S
When I tried to flash another rom (NLD-FINAL), an error occurred (I believe it was error 270, not sure).
But then the normal startup screen appeared!
I don't know how, but the problem seems to be fixed!
sorry i mentioned the wronge button before..
try to start flashing by pressing the RECORED button and the power.. while your mobile is off.
and be sure that you copied the original shipped ROM to your device (NOT elese)
As you can see in my previous post, I managed to flash the original rom.
I'm gonna try to upload an other rom some other time...
And with a patch I got the SDHC working too!
Thnx for your help!

Hello to everyone,
i have a problem with flashing.
First i had a WM2003 OS on the T-Mobile MDA. Then i tried to flash the WM2003SE with a romkitchen rom.exe over active sync.
The whole upgrade process worked well, but now it don't boots.
The booting procedure hangs on the welcome screen.
Now i am trying to flash a PPC2002 OS with SD Solution. (Because i have no activesync connection)
I have downloaded a *.nb1 rom from romkitchen and make copied it to SD with OS Image Tool.
But i don't know what to do now. When i insert the SD in the PPC it says only "The Card is not readable do you want to format it".
PLZ help!
Best regards
Andy
never heard about the bootloader saying that only a device saying it when it's booted into wm???
one way you can verify that the rom is flashed to the sdcard using the tool
the pc is no longer able to read the card
so that way you can verify that you did it correctly
Well, i did it by the same way (yesterday) ok, we can say you already have your SD card with your ROM ready for the instalation, so your put your SD car inside, then press the power button on top and press the hard reset button (you know it's down the earphones hole) it will apears the bootloader screen and the it will says press action to start or recort to exit, press the action button and it will start to donwload, it will finish saing COOLD RESET and something like that, take out your SD CARD and make a soft reset (the little hole at the other side of the hard reset) and that's it !!! i hope so jejejej let me know
thanx a lot. This worked for me!!
Ive just installed V10.2 ROM and im stuck on the Sony Ercisson Screen...what now?

Have you hardSPL'd your phone before?
If not you will have to flash a generic rom via microSD method (or put your phone into boot loader mode and connect via usb) and then hard spl your phone.
If you have already hardSPL'd your phone, reflash the rom using microSD method.
EDIT: from http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=xperia_guide_roms
Recovering from a bad flash
If you have forgotten to hardspl your x1 before flashing a rom or are getting an error when attempting to flash a rom (260-262) and can not get your x1 to boot then this might help:
1. Take the MicroSD card out of your phone and put it in to a MicroSD to SD card converter and insert it to your card reader.
2. Format the MicroSD card in to FAT32 format.
3. Download this ROM
4. Extract the .ZIP file and rename the .NBH file to 'kovsimg.nbh'
4. Copy this file to the freshly formatted MicroSD card (VISTA OR XP THIS DOESNT MATTER FOR THIS)
5. Take the memory card out of your PC/Laptop and place it back in to your Xperia
6. Remove the battery and replace it after 5 seconds. (dont replace the back cover)
7. The press the Volume Down key located on the right hand side of the phone and the power key keep them both pressed and then with the stylus press and hold down the reset button for three seconds.
8. You will then be presented with a Tri-Colour screen to begin with then the bootloader will load the kovsimg.nbh file.
9. Once loaded follow the on-screen instructions and your done, be patient the process does take a while about 10mins in total, BUT DO ENSURE YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE ON CHARGE, you dont want the power to die on you half way through, it would just be a waste of time.
N.B. HARD-SPL WILL ONLY LOAD ONCE YOU HAVE A WORKING IMAGE ON THE PHONE!!!! FROM THE SPL 0.72.0000 version.
awww man, x1fan, YOU'RE the one who "broke" it?!
let me know of the instructions above helped you out...
Cheers for all your help with this guys, all it needed in the end was a hard reset and some time to warm up i think, all is good as gold now..apart from the fact that it goes to xpanel screen prior to loading the home screen but the procedure above worked a treat so thank you all....YET AGAIN lol
