Backpack users please help! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I have the backpack on my xda2.
Need some advice using it ?
My phone details
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.10.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.209
Have loaded the VGA drivers/software and the VGA and TV out works OK.
However I have a CF GPS card that does not seem to work.
The power light blinks on when I insert the card then goes off it should stay on. There is no info anywhere that tells me the card is installed ?
Is there anything I should be loading/config of the phone for CF cards to work ?
Has anyone else experienced problems with CF card compatibility ?
The card in question is a SysON Chip CF GPS.
I have been informed that the Ambicom CF GPS works with the backpack, but am reluctant to shell out again if it's my phone thats not configured correctly.
Cheers, Shire (Blair)

BPInsert
Unzip and place this in your /Windows/StartUp folder Bro.

Have done your what you said about BPInsert.lnk
You know what is says after I soft reset my PDA (with or without the backpack):
Cannot find 'BPInsert' (or one of ist components).
Make sure the path and filename are correct and all
the required libraries are available.
The label of the dialog says: BPInsert.exe
Any idea what is causing this?
thanks
Bro

Hi!
My ROM version is 1.60.00WWE and I'm using a HOLUX GM-270 Ultra CF GPS card with my O22. No problem during use.
The only problem I face is that, if the phone is turned on, after exiting the GPS program the phone cannot be use anymore. I have to soft reset in order to turn the phone on again.
I have also tried it out with a BT SysON GPS receiver and it also exhibits the same problem.
Anyone has this problem?

Since the AT&T ROM has worked so well for you I suggest you use
the MPx200.org alternate Siemens SX56 ROM. The download link is located on this forums front page under the heading:
"MPx200.org distributes alternate Siemens SX56 ROM".
After you have downloaded the upgrade run it, once it has finished unpacking its files cancel out of it. It should leave everything in place in C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility folder (or you could use WinZip to extract it) then XDATools to load the ROM image to SD.
Info. on XDATools can be found at:

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".

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)

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)

T-Mobile Suspended Mode

Hello every one. I really would apperciate if someone can help me with my problem becuase i am new here.
I bought a used T-Mobile pocket pc 2003 from ebay.
It has the following information when it boot:
G324e4
R6.25.02
4.01.16
The problem i have that when it goes to suspend mode after 3 min. it won't get back when I press the power key or any other keys. I have to do full reset every time it does that.
It did work really good when I cancel the suspend mode with no problems but the battry won't last 4 hours.
Is it a sofware problem, or hardware problem? Please help!
Thank you,
Lisa
Just to clarify do you have a replaceable battery or is the ppc 2003 installed on the old t-mobile pc which has an inbuilt battery, non replaceable? Also when you say you have to "restart" do you mean you have to do a soft reset, or a hard reset?
What for Software have you installed on your device.
As much as i know KSE Truefax had caused such an issue.....
Stefan
Thank you for the reply.
To answer the first question It has built in battery you can't take it off and I do hard reset meaning i erease all software I installed.

PLEASE HELP !
Thank you in advance
I have the exact problem. but now i cant get my phone to work at all really. i upgraded my radio stack, but i think i went too far now it says no service. and i am stuck. what now? actually if someone could tell me how to get back to 2002 and start all over it would be most appreciated.
edit: flashed radio back, now i can dial out. but after the 2 minutes it won't let me suspend anymore. are the cooked roms part of the issue? i dunno i am thinking of a downgrade to 2002 then try again. i wish i still had my old rom backed up (didn't have a spare sd card). now i am stuck still needs a soft reset to come back up.
radio 6.24.00.
ROM 1.16
protocol G324e4
fixed it!
downgrade to 2002, left the radio stack alone. now it works. going to keep trying to see if i can bump it back up. just received a tmo edition from atrick-pay that has 2003. I think maybe a downgrade to 2002 then unlock will help. I am going to study it a bit more.

Big problem

Hi
I am new here and i have problem
When i turn on my qtek9000, i recieve message Serial V.100.
If i connect USB cable it displays USB instead of Serial.
This happened when i tried to do radio upgrade (through usb hub, sim and sd were also in phone...).
I have 1gb SD card and also card reader mounted in laptop, so transfering files should not be problem.
Can someone help me with step-by-step procedure how to make my qtek work back. I used a lot of search but i am even more confused....
I just remember that when qtek worked Radio was something like 1.0.3.1 and also WWE was writen somewhere....
Probably i should put rom to sd with ntrw (which wersion of both),.......
please help....
might be a dumb question on my part - but have you tried a reset (initially a soft one but then a hard one of course, if nothing else works...) ???
I mean you will at least be able to revert back to the condition 'out of the package'...
Hope everything works out!
jup.both things NOT HELPED
looks like you're stuck in the bootloader mode....
try flashing the rom & the radio rom once again by connecting it to your laptop's usb...
i guess something screwed up while you were upgraging your radio rom...and you'd need to redo it!
Best,
San
can you please write me a procedure?
You might want to check the following thread. Everything is well described.
Cheers

I have solved problem with Radio upgrade. I am in much better mood now. 8)
Anyway i have 4 more questions.
1.) I am using bluetooth car-instalation Parrot CK3100. I am wondering if is possible to transfer any other sound except telephone conversations to that device. When i had Nokia 9500 i was able to hear every single click,tone,...i made on phone also on car-instalation. I also heard nokia ringtone in car instalation.With qtek i am getting generic car-instalation ringing tone instead of phone ringing. Otherwise primary intention (hands free talking) works fine. I would like to have that to be able to hear voices from various GPS software.
2.) Since QTEK9000 is PDA and phone in single unit I would like to have in car GPS application "always on top". Like previously mentioned i can easily manage my calls with car-instalation. Therefore i would like to run Phone section in background or GPS applications on top.I hope you will understand what i would like to say
3.) I also need in-car holder for qtek. Do you have any reccomendations?
4.)
My settings:
R: 1.04.02
G: 42.37.P8
D: 1.13.64.WWE
Is that ok or should i upgrade?
Stuck in bootloader mode
Hi guys,
Got stuck in bootloader mode following an upgrade attempt. Tried to reflash radio using the files from the pload folder only to get an error saying it's for the wrong device - tried this several times with the same result.
any ideas?
Is there a binary and a tool I can just do a straight upload?
thanks

Thanks DreamTheater
Thanks for your help - unfortunately I got the same message, ie this rom is not meant for this device etc...
Will see O2 can do anything (who's that laughing...???) - was going to buy a new xda mini anyway...!
1. REMOVE your SD/MMC card.
2. Soft/hard reset.
3. Run the upgarde again.
Step 1 above solved my problem.

It seems that the BT driver wasn't loaded properly! Can you check?
Are you sure, you didn't change anything in the registry?
Which BT stack are you using?

Huch! This will be difficult indeed...
Ok, let's start!
1) Go in Settings/System, click on Device Information and give me what you have on the version tab.
2) Go In Windows directory and search for a file called ASIC5_BTUR.dll
OK.
1.Version:
ROM Version: 2.06.00WWE
ROM date: 06/14/04
Radio Version: 1.18.00
Protocol Version: 1337.38
ExtROM version : (blank)
2. Don't have this DLL

If you use fileexplorer to show files, don't forget to select show all files option. then make a search on ASIC5_BTUR
If you don't have it, well you need to reinstall it or think about upgrading your pda to WM2005
