Hello to everybody!
I have the following problems. I friend of mine got a Tmobile Universal from Germany. Unfortunately he does not speak German, so i helped him in flashing the device with an imate rom. after that it was in english.
the problems appeared in 3 months, when it began slowing down.
i made a hard rteset, it did not help. after that i flashed a new rom, synchronised with my outlook, everything went smooth. i walked two days with the device, it was ok.
after i gave it to my friend and today this frined called me and said that the device stopped working. and this happened after he tried to synchronise the device with his PC. can you guys tell me what can go wrong in this case?
thank you
Not being a pc/phone buff I wondered if any of you guys can help me?
I bought a Vodafone V1640 that had O2 software on it. Firstly is this ok? Should it have had Vodafone software on it? Second, I sold the phone on eBay beause it did not match my needs or critera and now the person that bought it is saying there is a ROM error showing and that I had originally bought a duff phone. This I cannot understand, as when I received the phone, I charged it and made sure that it was in perfect working ordered. This was over a peroid of about 2-3 hours and no error showed on the phone what so ever. It actually came sealed as if it had come straight from Vodafone as an upgrade maybe.
I cannot understand why this error messgae is now showing and upon asking an IT collegue at work he has suggested that this person had maybe tried to load new software on to the phone therefore the ROM error being apparent.
Does anyone have any idea why the phone may only now be showing this error? I can assure you all that I did nothing to the phone as it was only out of the box for a few hours before I decided that it wasn't for me.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
:roll:
what error is showing.
i have a vodafone unit, but have flashed various roms without problems.
i am currently on the latest i-mate.

Hi Steve
Thanks for replying.
I've got no idea what kind of ROM error is showing on the item as it is no longer in my possession. I am trying to contact my eBay buyer to find out exactly what message is showing and when.
What exactly is a ROM error anyway? As I stated previously, the phone was on for btween 2-3 hours and showed no signs of soft/hard ware damage. How do Rom error's occur?
Sorry to sound so vague and amateurish!!
I am no expert and have only been playing with these things for 9 months, but the only time I have ever seen ROM error is when i have been trying to flash a different ROM to my device, e.g the imate version to my vodafone machine.
Ask him what he did, what the error says and what he can see on the screen.Read the guide to installing a ROM and you can see what happens.
ROMs for specific versions such as imate will not flash to others such as vodafone unless you use a specific .exe file (the no id upgrade one).
If you try you will get an error, and sometimes you can get the machine up and running, other times you get a brick which can take time to get back to life.

Hi, which rom are you using - and how did you unlock it? and what option did you choose? there are 3 different versions of the tool on the forum. (so want to make sure you used the right one) You could use this opportunity to upgrade to an aku2 rom.
p.s. please dont post twice someone else may spend time anwsering the other post - could you delete it - just press x on the top r hand corner of post - cheers
Problem solved
I have installed a new rom I have found around here and everything is back to normal
thks
Hello all, I got a O2 XDA EXEC in post today which I bought off Ebay for £30 which only ended up having a scratched screen! I have installed radio ROM 0.00.00 and then used Buzz's unlocker twice which said it unlocked but doesent take my Vodafone sim which is all I have at the moment. I then installed radio ROM 1.18 hopeing it will work but it dident!
So I decided to install Tomal's - v8.2: WM6.1 Pro havent had a good look at it yet but looks good!.
If anyone can tell me a way of getting this Vodafone sim to work that would be great!

Hi,
you have to remove the sim and switch the airplane mode OFF BEFORE the entire procedure. Remember to soft reset the device after running the Buzz unlock tool, so, these are the steps, flash the radio 0.00.0, soft reset, run the tool and wait the succesful message, soft reset and wait that it switch-on, NOW remove the battery, insert your sim and switch on again. In this way it must work, I've unlocked 3 universal with that tool.

Hello davideuck, That was the way I tried it but tried it 3 times again with no joy, The radio searches for a few seconds then comes up with no service. I am starting to wonder if this uni is going to receive any signal from any sim?? Like my M5000 before but that had no GSM which this one does have GSM.
Ok I have managed to get a new O2 sim card which I have put in the uni which does the same as the Vodafone sim... Nothing just has no service but does search for a signal every so often.
I have installed RADIO ROM 1.18 instead of the 0.00.00 and still does not receive a signal.
Im stuck now Is there any reason why this does this or is it never going to get a signal?
I have just phoned O2 to find out if my uni's blocked? not that they done any test but because I have tried 2 sims which work in other phones but not this one they say the problem is with the phone.
So looks like I have 2 useless uni's? Would I be able to repair the EXEC with parts from my M5000? ( M5000 had no GSM ) I have no idea what I would need to do but will try anything to get this working!
Would the O2 XDA EXEC original ROM sort this problem? This was already installed when I had it but dident work with Vodafone sim after unlocking.

I have installed the original O2 ROM which made no difference so went back to WM6.1.
I think there is something wrong internally?
