ROM Upgrade Crash - Bootlauncher fix off SD Card?

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 ?

Cingular 8125 unlock question

To unlock the 8125, do I need a cingular sim card to run the lokiwiz unlocker and get the unlock code? I bought a brand new phone but I don't have a cingular sim card. Help!

I believe so. You should be able to find a pal with a Cingular (AT&T will also work) SIM, though. Short of that, they do sell pay-as-you-go SIMs.

Thanks! I'll start asking around.

Nopes ! you don't require any particular SIM to get your phone SIM unlocked.lokiwiz will automatically SIM unlock the phone,regardless of any SIM in it.Thats why,after SIM unlock you can insert any SIM of any network .

In Windows XP you can simply start ur phone without a sim and when it says insert one use the stylus to hit the start button then choose the today screen and when activesync asks for a connection cancel it to be a guest.
the first thing you have to do is downgrade to the button rom for ipl and spl 1.05 which is required to unlock the phone at all.
before downgrading you should hard reset your phone to make sure the flash takes effect properly.
to perform a hard reset you hold the com manager button and the voice button both on the top of each side and right below the ir sensor is the reset button which u will hit with the stylus as you hold both buttons then while still holding the buttons the screen will go black and ask you to hit send to reset.
then after flashing to the button rom open the explorer and copy over the enablerapi.cab to a folder u can find it on the phone. then find the file and open it to install.
now u want to extract the lokiwiz to ur c: drive for easy use then u go to the pc with a connection to activesync as a guest and open up ur dos command prompt.
type cd\ then hit enter then type lokiwiz and hit enter. you firt hit u and enter for sim unlock then when ur phone restarts get a guest connection and type lokiwiz in command promt then type c and hit enter after this your phone should be fully unlocked.
also you have to install wm5 before moving to wm6 otherwise your ipl and spl will not update and problems will ensue. the best way i find is to flash down to button rom then upgrade to tmobile 2.26 rom which is very stable and from there i end up with farias the real thing wm6 rom or tnt 1437 wm6 rom as its stable and runs smooth. this is all up to you and what you need to do with your phone based on what rom you run. most of everything you will need is in the unlocking guide.

if you get stuck in boot loader for any reason u can flash from there without any problem as long as your in windows xp. also if you get a flash screen that wont load into windows and it keeps restarting hit reset under the ir with ur stylus then hold the camera button to re enter boot loader. from there you can reload a rom you know works such as the button rom

WOW ! LOL

Do a hard reset (hold context buttons and hit the reset button with stylus). Or you can go to bootloader (bold power + side OK and hit reset button with stylus) and now you will be able to flash via RUUWrapper.

Where you have the colour bands, you can flash from PC without connecting to activesync. At least that works for me.
And try also context buttons on the HW keyboard.

You have to hold BOT soft keys and reset with stylus. Holding down the ok button and resetting does nothing but a soft reset. You want to hard reset.
You will still get CRC's rom loading up as that is the loaded OS.
If you wish to upgrade then, if you have Hard SPL (SPL: 2.10 oli), then you can use the sd card method fromn the bootloader (tri-colour) screen.
SD Card method
1. Format SD card fat32 (2Gb or less ONLY) then copy the .nbh file to it. Rename .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh".
2. Insert into Hermes and go to bootloader.
3. If sd card is formatted fat32 and flash file is renamed properly, follow the prompts.

yes, its because you'r flashing Radio only, if you are flashing WM5/WM6/WM6.1/WM6.5 you need to enter bootloader mode!

Me to have only record button not working
But i made it,open your phone open whole parts,now attach your battery with a rubber ring so phone can start,notice that white part which is situated near the camera which has four pines fix it with screw or until your phone boots, you need four hands either to enter in boot loader mode or hard reset.you should connect the circuit button with a metal/wire,first try that button you will see camera or record working apply same for your needs. out of that four points of button adjust three to connect toughether to activate.

You install MAGDLR 1.12 the same way as you installed MAGDLR 1.1.
Read through the forums and use some common sense.

Hopefully a slightly more helpful response...
To place the HD2 into Bootloader mode, remove the HD2's back cover hold down the volume down key, now press in the red reset button under the back cover to the bottom left of the SIM, release the soft reset button but continue to hold the volume down key in until you are presented with the tri colour bootloader screen. To exit Soft Reset the device.
