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Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use: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)

Hi,
Thanks all for the replies.
Can anyone tell me how doI repair the radio stack?
Regards
Jinesh
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)
Hi,
I have a T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone 2003.
Rom version: 4.01.16 ENG
Rom date: 02/04/04
Radio version: 6.25.02
Protocol version: 324e4
Wallaby Bootloader: V5.22
I am in a GSM 1800Mhz region while the phone has only 900/1900Mhz. I have read various reports that with a Firmware upgrade I can make the phone Tri-Band capable meaning 900/1800/1900Mhz. There have also been reports that this is a hardware feature which will not be effected by software upgradation. But I wanna still try. Firstly the phone was Simlocked by T-Mobile which I managed to unlock with a code given by their SimUnlock dept. believe it or not.
The problems / issues I am facing with this phone are:
1. Downloaded the XDAROM.exe with adaptROM.exe Program A.exe etc in it but it always stops at the dreaded -
ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting devicedata
For the above I have tried all the suggestions on this forum like hard booting (battery off/on), Select GSM900 in Wallaby Mode then reset, Remove Sim Card then Reset, Switch off Radio (which I presume is GSM) in Wallaby then reset. All options lead to the same error.
2. Tried backing up the current ROM in Bootloader Mode which it does and asks me to press the Action key. But when I reboot the device or remove the SD Card and plug it into a PC it says Card not formatted. The SD card
works under normal conditions transferring data to and fro and storing data.
3. Read that I can copy the .NB1 (update file) onto a SD card and on rebooting it should ask if I want to Flash the device with this new data but it never asks and reboots completely.
4. Wallaby mode is also supposed to Flash the device via USB if I press the record key I tried but the computer and device never connect.
5. Device does not ActiveSync always on docking very often I may need to reboot the PC and or the Device for them to talk.
6. Tried XDAUnlock. exe which gave me 'error getting unlock code'.
Any ideas people? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew with no clever lines
In no particular order:
(1) 1800 MHz is a hardware feature. At best, playing with the firmware will make the phone think it can operate at 1800MHz, but it really can't without hardware changes. But hey, you already know that.
(2) When you dump the ROM to an SD card, it is dumped as an image, which overwrites any FAT formatting on the card. This is why you're getting the "Card not formatted" message on the PC. You need special PC software (XDATools -- available on this website, or XDArit) to access the ROM image on the card with the PC.
(3) In order to upgrade the XDA with an SD card, the firmware needs to be placed on the SD card as an image (the same format as #2 above). If you just did a PC file copy you used the wrong method. XDATools also does this function.
(4) Why are you trying to use XDAUnlock.exe when you've already unlocked your phone with the code from T-Mobile?
Hi,
Thanks I did finally realise what every one took for granted in this site that the ROM dumps on the SD were written in a proprietory image format not FAT format.
Am trying the entire exercise coz have read at enough places on the site that the phone can be cracked to be tri-band which is what I need for it to roam India. We have only 900Mhz at select locations and the rest is 1800Mhz. Can only but be hopeful.
The chronology for the unlock bit was off on my mail.
Basically I cant perform any updates to the phone via the adaptROM method because I feel Wallaby 5.22 has protection built into it and shuts down the connection. If I try to Downgrade the Wallaby to V5.15 using the bootloaderfix included XDATools I get the error listed below.
'C:\bootload\pput.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: ITReadProcessMemory - Unspecified error
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect
If I use XDArit V1.02 route to write via SD I get Failed to open Device \\.\PhysicalDrive7
Anyone got the older version of XDArit ??
Help people.
Thanks,
Andrew
I'm not as familiar with Bootloader version issues. My (old) unit was Version 5.15. I just got a replacement for it after I busted the screen, and the new one is Version 5.22. Maybe I'll learn more about bootloaders...
But LumpiStefan says he hasn't had problems using the SD card method with 5.22. I haven't played with the new phone yet, since it came with WM03.
Wouldn't it be easier for you to spend $100 (or so) on an unlocked 900/1800 phone?
Hi everyone...I'm a newbie. Been reading all the pages but can't find answer to my q.
I installed T-Mobile ROM 4.01.16 downloaded from ROM kitchen. Unfortunately, now I cannot use the phone on my xda. It simply can't find my phone network. I tried to go into phone options but the phone hang. Otherwise, the rest works fine except it hangs sometimes.
I've tried to install new ROM, one for O2 xda but the error message below surfaced:
ERROR:Get Connection type - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
error getting connection type.
Now I'm unable to install a new ROM. Even via SD card. Please help.
PS Have also tried using xdatools to unlock. I get the same error message ie the remote host forcibly closed connection
If it's a PW10A-Model that you have try entering Wallaby Bootloader and set GSM settings manually to 900/1800. Installing the 4.01.16 ROM sets the settings to 900/1900. Maybe this is your problem...

Same problem over here
Hello,
I also installed the t-mobile on my o2 xda accidentally,
i already put it on european band frequency 900/1800 via the wallaby editor.
But still i'm not able to put back the o2 wme 2003 on it.
any solutions for this issue ?
thanks in advance,
thomas.
Flash your ROM via SD-Card....
Thanks so much Lumpi. Now my phone works but a different problem crops up. The device once turned off, will not turn on unless I soft reset it. Also, when it is off, the phone will not ring/vibrate when there's an incoming call. The green LED flashes as usual, indicating phone is working. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks inadvance.
another Q: can I use an MMC 256MB card to flash the rom or can i only use SD card?

Have you used KSE Truefax? I think that is the problem with not turning on the device....
I think you can also use a MMC Card. Never tried it myself, cause i only have SD-Cards...
Stefan
I've never use Truefax eventhough I have it on the device as I cooked it in the ROM. Any other ideas? Thanks
I had the same problem with 4.1.16 and KSE. It doesn't matter if you "use" it or not. Something about KSE being cooked intothe rom stops the device from operating correctly. To date you are the 5th person I know of to have that problem. Recook the same rom less KSE, reflash, and I can almost garauntee it will work.
thank you everyone....it is indeed the KSE Truefax that was the culprit. I've since invested in a card reader/writer and a 256MB MMC card and my phone works again!
PS special thx to lumpi

Now I'm unable to install a new ROM. Even via SD card. ROM sets the settings to 900/1900, and I can’t get into Bootloader via SD flashing nor power, soft reset, rocker/action…Any suggestions?
Good evening,
I’ve recently updated the rom of my HTC Prophet to the following rom: _818Pro_2151324_21513104_21721_DOP_Taiwan_CHT_Ship, which was taken from the FTP pf xda-developrs.com, and everything turned out ok, but the problem comes up when the pocket reboots and everything shows up written in Chinese. I’ve tried to update the rom to the following: JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_shi, but when th process reaches 95% the following error shows up: ERROR 326 : INVALID COMAND
Does anyone have the solution for this problem When I try again with the Chinese rom the pocket pc accepts it.
Thanks.
had the same problem, use the dopod test rom WWE, it will work and turn your device to english
Hi, I hope someone out there can shed some light onto this problem. This is what I have: Orange SVP M3100; Operator: 14.123.1.614; ROM Ver.: 1.23.61.4; ROM Date: 07/13/06; Radio Ver.: 1.06.00.00; Protocol Ver.: 32.37.7010.01H.
I've downloaded and successfully (I think) flashed Hard-SPL-V7.
Bootloader used to read: HERM100; IPL-1.01; SPL-1.04.
Bootloader now reads: HERM100; IPL-1.04; HERM100; SPL-210.Olipro.
The phone still works and syncs. properly, but when I try running SPV_M3100ROMUpdate_0407, it eventually returns Error 260 (Update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.) This happens in Vista Ultimate and in XP Pro.
The program will go as fare as identifying the current image as Ver.: 1.23.61.4 and suggests to replace it with image Ver.: 2.11.61.1 however, when I click on OK, it puts the phone into Bootloader mode, disconnects the USB connection and unable to reconnect again. After this I have to do a soft reset and everything goes back to normal.
I'd very much appreciate any ideas to help me get around this conundrum. Many thanks.
put device into bootloader and try flashing from there, otherwise try sd card
OK, I could not flash from Bootloader either; same error message.
Extracted the SVP_M3100ROMUpdate_0407.exe onto the SD card.
Ended up with the following files: EnterBL.exe; GetDeviceData.exe; README.doc; ROMUpdateUt.exe; RUU.dll; RUUUI.dll; RUU_signed.nbh.
None of the above files will run on the PDA. What do I do next? Sorry for being such a novice and thanks again.

Correct, the files are not run from the device.
The hermes wiki has the directions for flashing from an SD card, go check it out.
Thanks for that jdc. I found the information you have suggested and here is what I did so fare:
-Formatted the SD card.
-Renamed the ROM image file to HERMING.nbh
-Inserted the SD card with the renamed image file into the phone.
-Restarted the phone and confirmed that it was reading from the card.
-Put the phone into Bootloader mode by pressing PWR+OK+Reset.
The multi-colour Bootloader screen comes up and nothing else happens. I'd tried pressing the PWR button just in case, but it had no effect.
Any more ideas? THANKS!
SPV m3100 upgrade - error 260 - connection drops when allowing enterBL.exe to run on
Hi - am going through the same process to upgrade my SPV m3100.
I've followed Mr Vanx's guides to the letter - ROM update from 1.23.61.4 to Hard-SPL-2.1 - as soon as i click 'yes' on the phone to allow enter.BL.exe to run - the connection between phone and laptop immediately drops.
I've tried using different USB ports as suggested in different threads = but to no avail
Am running Vista Home Premium.
I'm a novice so sorry for sounding stupid - any help would be really appreciated.
I had the same error until I disabled the phone lock. Worked ok after that
I had this problem for awhile, and I'm using Vista. I can't remember the problem to explain it, but I did one of 3 things to fix it.
1. Follow Mr Vanx's Vista Guide. The most important part is downloading his attached drivers and getting Vista to detect your phone as an "HTC USB Device" or "HTC USB Sync" or something like that.
2. Then I would recommend installing the official ATT Rom, you can download it off of HTC's website.
3. Install Schaps Advanced Config cab, and disable "security warnings"
After this done, you should be able to install a cooked rom from here.
