I upgrade my ROM to Pocket PC2003 (T-mobile.nbf) image that worked with no problems using the XDA OS Image tool. It copied over using programme A and following the upgrade I carried our a Radio Stack upgrade to 4.21 supplied by O2. I now have a problem as the phone wont work. I tried re copying the immage again but just before programme A runs a cmd.exe box apears and I get the following message 'ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting connectiontype
Programme A then tells me my device is not connected and to check the USB connection. Can any body please help me. All I want is to get my XDA phone up and working again.
Which network are you using, it may be that the bandswitch has chosen 900/1900 which would prevent orange and t-mobile from working, if this is the case enter bootloader, then push the key below the antenna, choose 900/1800 then reboot.
I'm on the O2 (pay as you go) network. There were no problems with my phone and the T-mobile image until I performed the O2 Radio Stack upgrade. I hade already performed this upgrade on my old operating system, before I copied over the T-mobile image. I had no problems with the old OS and the Radio Stack upgrade.
Seamus, if you burn the original O2 rom back to the phone, you will be able to return it to O2 if it is the radio stack upgrade that killed the phone, they should fix it for free.

Hello everyone.
Im having serious trouble with my MDA i updated just yesterday. Somehow it hung up at 60%. Waited for about 15 Minutes but nothing happened. So restart, but MDA was dead.
I managed it ti load the CE and ROM with an SD from another MDA into the broken one. Went well, the device boots, after 15 minutes, but everything goes very slow.
So managed it to upload the cab file of the RSU on another SD, inserted it, executed, but at 1% it just fails to flash and want to restart the MDA.
I also tested the method someone mentioned with the autorun.exe, didnt help.
In the wallaby bootloader i saw that there is an option to Backup the GSM ROM to SD, but then it wants some kind of "PC Monitor". Thought it might be some kind of hyperterminal connection, but turned out not to be.
So, does anybody here have a clue what to do???
GSM ERROR
Hello there
I've suffered the same problem as many others did.
I suggest one final solution before giving up and believing it's a dead motherboard.
the solution I believe is:
1- Using a working XDA and through the bootloader click on contacts button to get to the flash menu then click on the option for copying rom and GSM to SD.
2- after complete copy use the same SD card in your device (at bootloader)
3- tell me what you get..

Gives me the already mentioned "Please connect RS232 and run PC Monitor" Screen...
If you are sure you have followed all procedure re: 1% screen of death mentioned in various threads in this forum, then you're best bet is to return the unit the your distributor/ service centre for repair.
I had this problem and posted my experiences on several threads. I spent the first 2-3 weeks trying different things without any luck. THen one day, I just return the unit the distributor and they repaired in two days. I was told they had to replace the GSM main board.
My problem was caused by T Mobile radio stack upgrade ( I did not use SD method, so the installation installed Tmobile radio stack on my 900/1800 xda. It worked fine until I accidentally 'checked' the 1900 option...
Just my two cents
Hello,
I have flashed my MDA Vario with a WM6 rom dutch witch worked fine. After i changed my pagepool to 6 MB and soft rebooted my MDA, it stared, but without phone functionalty. every program i try to start it gives me the message that it has no memmory to start the program.
No activesync connection (or any other connection) can be established. I have found some articles on flashing xda pda's from sd card. But in these articles they talk about .NBH files. The only file i can find in the update util is an .NBF file. Can anyone help me solving this issue?
TNX in advance
Try bootloader mode?

Can you get into bootloader mode (tricolor RGB bands)? ("Get your phone in bootloader mode by doing this: Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter into bootloader mode (RGB screen").
Once in bootloader mode you can reflash even though activesync says not connected - just look for little USB in corner of screen.
Tnx cushcalc for your reply.
I have tryed it just a minute ago. I can enter the boot loader but the flashing fails at starting with the message "This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer update utility". I have used the same flash tool as the rom image witch is now on the MDA.
Sounds more like CID locked after flashing the last ROM was flashed....cant u even flash any other wm6 ROM?
You should flash the original T. Mobile ROM from bootloader it should work. After you have the original running you can then re-flash WM6 using shelltool if your phone is CID locked. Try it and lets see how it goes.
You people are the greatest. I have tryed to flash my MDA Vario with the latest rom from t-mobile and now i have a fully functional mda again. BIG TNX for helping!!!
It happened a while back when I was trying to update the radio image to latest 3.07 version and it failed saying "image corrupt". I believe my phone was again cid locked. I had done uspl unlocking a long back but I am not sure how it got re-locked.
Now when I insert a sim card into my orbit, it doesn't find the network. I trust this is as the radio image didn't update totally.
Worst of all, it fails to connect to activesync. It makes a connection as local area connection with limited connectivity. Activesync starts "troubleshooter for activesync" but to no avail. The problem isn't with activesync as activesync recognizes my other phones. Just to be sure I tried connecting it with my other computer as well and it gave the same error.
Now I am just left with the option of updating my rom using bootloader or using sd card and that too only the original rom's as I believe its CID locked again. The other rom stops updating at 3 % and the phone restarts. I tried the official o2 wm6 rom and the official o2 wm5 rom but I don't thing they have radio image as well, since the gsm problem still persists.
The activesync also still fails to connect.
Hence I trust I am left with the following:
-An orbit having O2 official wm5 rom installed with corrupted radio image.(Unable to register or find any gsm network)
-The device is cid locked
-The device not being connected by active sync.
So I am looking if anybody has a radio rom that would work on a cid locked o2 orbit(arte200). Also is there anyway to unlock cid other than activesync connection. Guys need a hand real bad...
I tried to downgrade my 5600 to wm2003se that was the original os and I had upgraded it to wm6 but want to go back and since I didnt make a backup of the rom I used the updater from Orange to try and downgrade it after following some instructions I saw on a website.
But now the phone just show the orange uk startup screen then goes into the bootloader I tried using the imate wm2003se update it updated successful but when I start the phone a get the imate startup screen and then it goes into the bootloader again. Another thing is that the updaters when I ran them (I reran the orange uk updater so the orange rom is now on the phone again) both show that there was no rom loaded to the phone, all the information the phone model and the other info are completely blank.
I've tried looking up how to fix it but the only solution all the sites give me I cant do cause I dont have a sd card and even if I did my computer cant read sd cards and I dont have a sd card reader either.
I'm sure your wondering about the version of my bootloader it version 1.x, sorry I cant be more specific cause the phone screen does work properly and the only way to get it to show properly most of the time is to push the end call button up and hold it there. A solution to that would appreciated as well but right now I'm more wanting a solution for the bootloader problem I'm having.
Hi there, I've been reading the forum for about a week trying to find a fix for my deceased orbit xda.
Problem started when the phone started crashing, the screen was going white and needed re-starting. Eventually it failed to load and froze at the blue screen with the red writing!
so I started reading and tried soft and hard re-booting to no avail.
I have managed to get the phone into bootloader and connected a USB
it recognises the usb and installs as a mobile device on my laptop but here's where it gets tricky. I dunno alot about phone's and am struggling to understand some of the processes. I have tried booting off the SD card but it said invalid certificate (i used the artiemg.nhb file from rapidshare)
I have all the original paperwork and cd's for the phone but dont know what or how to flash a ROM.
what do I need and more important how do I do it without all the tech talk.
Its a WM5 phone - thanks
EDIT - Just to clarify, have just tried the romupdateutility on raving_nanza's sig but recieve an error - am running vista on my laptop
Update, I managed yesterday to get the phone to boot from the SD card and indeed it flashed it and WM5 is back up and running, the new problem is its network locked (to O2 i presume). I was using this phone on orange previously without an issue????
any Idea's other than paying imei check?
