Updating Exec ROM - I'm so screwed, please help

Hi guys,
I just tried to upgrade to the latest o2 Exec ROM, followed all the instructions to the letter ... then the dialog box that says "getting device information.... don't unplug, bla bla" came up and stayed the same for over 70 minutes and decided something isn't right, so I unplugged it.
Now, my exec only shows "USB v1.00" screen ... can't turn it off, and hard reset can't restore anything. It appears my ROM has already been zapped clean ? ...
Arrrggghh, this is driving me nuts. If anyone can tell me how I can get things back to normal, I would be eternally grateful
Chris

the same happened to me.
Connect the usb cable again and try running the setup wizard again.

1) Disconnect your Universal from the cable.
2) Perform a hard reset by pressing the 2 (-) buttons simultaneously while pressing the reset pin found at the back of the Universal.
3) You will notice that the screen is still blank with the "v 1.0" on the screen. DO NOT WORRY.
4) Connect back your Universal via cable.
5) You will hear the connection sound from your computer.
6) Run the install application again.
7) Make sure you DO NOT DISCONNECT the cable this time.
8) RELAX!!!!!! and wait for the update.

I had same problem but this is what I did
1) Hard Reset
This screen pops up
Press0 to restore
Factory default
Press X to exit
2) I pressed X
3) Plugged in USB cable
4) Voila, windows recognises new device, when driver is installed pressed X
ran software utility (rom upgrade) again
All is working, Panic over PHEW!

Phheewwww ... thanks so much you guys, really appreciate all the detailed instructions ... it's upgrading as i post this ... for a moment there, i thought i would have to ship this back to o2 ... He hee ... you guys are the greatest ! :lol:

So guys now that you all have upgraded your universals, is it worth the update ?
I've been running my current one in Basic Mode since getting it and have not experienced any problems yet.

i works better,it responds quicker and no crashes yet. the themes fit according to the screen. try it.

Which themes?

screen switching is like lightning, definately an improvement.
Overall Id say it seems quicker loading menus
(eg start>programs, Start>settings etc)
I think it was worth it although i shat myself when the upgrade went wrong.
Tut Tut o2, wtf was that all about?

hi guys, i have follow the instruction, and it is not working for me.. any others ideas
thanks

My Method:
1) Connect your Universal from the cable. (Whole step not need disconnect the cable)
2) Perform a hard reset by pressing the 2 (-) buttons simultaneously while pressing the reset pin found at the back of the Universal.
3)This screen pops up
Press0 to restore
Factory default
Press X to exit
4) I pressed 0
5) You will notice that the screen is still blank with the "v 1.0" on the screen. DO NOT WORRY. Wait about 15 seconds!
6) You will hear the connection sound from your computer. (If it appare a wrong connect device message on computer, then retry from step 2 to step 4. This step my need to try many times until hear the connection sound from your computer) [Some times I had repeated three steps twenty times then can success!]
6) Run the install application again.
7) Finish & Reset.

i have done, the step. Due to frustration i have remove the active sync and install a new one. might be this step will no longer use.
thanks any way. is there any other suggestion?..

Download the uni dopod rom upgrade from the xda server. Extract the executable file. Then flash ONLY the radio rom using the MAUpgradeUt. Do not use the other rom files (e.g. extended and MS rom, so delete these two before running the MAUpgradeUT.) good luck.

Thank u Simba
I shall try your suggestions and wish me luck for xmas
many thanks n very much appreciated..

thank u simba
New year is on d way....
BINGO..... yes I made it...
as simba suggested I download the UNI DOPOD rom113.36..extract the executable files ie.
!. Enter BL
2.GetDeviceData
3.RUU.dll
4.UI.dll
5.RUU.Conf
6.MaUpgradeUt noID
into a new folder ..add in the radio file from either rom113.188 or 113.36
and then execute/run MaUpgradeUt noID file......IT WORKS
It therefore may means that DOPOD900 may require the DOPOD EXECUTABLE FILES (so as not to have the same problems as I had over xmas) listed above to upgrade either the CE rom, radio rom or extended rom..
It definitely had been a very interesting xmas...the freeze is finally over n a Better time awaiting, better days ahead n a better YEAR is around d corner...Happy New Year to everyone

My SVP M600 phone got stuck at Starting screen

Hi Friends,
My new mobile phone SPV M600 got stuck whil starting showing four lines of messages as shown below.
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.1.22
Can any one please help me in geting my phone to today's screen.
I also attached the screen shot for reference.

did you try a hard reset ?

Ya I tried both hard as well as soft reset but same screen is stuck again and agian.Can any one please help me in this regard as I am very new to PDA family.

Ok, first things first:
Since you are new to this, are you sure you preformed a hard reset?
It is done by holding power + camera + comm manager buttons (one on the right, two on the left) and pressing with stylus in the reset hole at the same time.
A message should appear asking you to press 'send' (green phone button) to confirm reset.
If this does not help, you may have a serious problem.
Please answer the following:
Is the device fully charged?
Phone will fail to boot if the battery is too low.
Did you install any software right before this happened?
This should have been resolved by hard reset, but just in case I am asking.
Did you change the ROM, attempted CID / SIM unlock?
This could require more serious measures than I can advise on.

I did exactly the same thing which you mentioned.But even then it is stuck at the same screen.
Ya u r right I unlocked my mobile using a software from eBay.The unlock was successfull and I tried to insert T-Mobile sim, it also captured the signal and I was able to make and recieve calls then after that I wantedly switched off the phone and then tried to start it, there got the problem.

Can any one help me in this regard please.

I am having the same problem, but my phone is not sim-locked.

I've got the same problem after attempting smart1_wm6_pp8mb.exe
I'm having the same problem with my G4 QTEK S200:
Attempted to upgrade to WM6 Rom using smart1_wm6_pp8mb.exe
After reboot the phone got stuck at the QTEK Screen
Tried Hard Reset (Camera+Power+Comm+Reset) followed the steps with the same results (bricked)
I also tried re-flashing the rom back to the factory one using RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship and ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.exe in Windows Vista with WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center v. 6.0.6873) and the phone in boot loader mode (tri color screen) with working USB cable, with windows firewall disabled and symantec AV disabled as well, RUU keeps saying error 260 "the update utilitiy cannot connect to your pda phone..." .
Do you think I should try this process using XP instead? No matter what i try i keep getting the error 260
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Got it fixed!
it was definately a Vista issue. once i tried it in XP with ActiveSync it worked like a charm and i got my phone back up and running. also used spb backup and restored all my settings.

ipl/spl screen
i got the same problem with new rom wm6, and the 260 eror, my problem is that i have xp and the activesync does`t connect ...
... means i cant redo the original rom ????
PLEAAASEEE HELPPPP !!

Again My phone SPV M600 got stuck at IPL/SPL screen
Please Can some one advice me how to get my phone back.
I raised the same issue 7 months back after that my phone got recovered automatically and there were no issues till last month. Last month onwards it is again got the same problem and now it is permenantly stuck at that screen what ever you do.

A rom reinstall on xp solved my problems on that one. retry a couple of times! It may not work the first time! hard reset as well...
Try an official wm5 rom just in case

Hi Iam able to update the Rom but no use
Hi,
To mention my phone is from orange-UK. I got the orange rom from our FTP site and did the flashing/update what ever you say.But still it is getting stuck at the same IPL/SPL screen. Iam very much worried that I will not get a proper solution for my problem.It will be very grate full if some one resolve my problem.

just seems strange...how did you fix it last time? did it just start working again? A random guess would be that the camera button got liquid spilled on it or is stuck in.
If the camera button is pressed in the phone will go to 3 colour screen every time it is turned on.
It won't do any harm if you try to press/move that button to see if u can "unstick" it, not likely I think but u never know...

Hi...
I was trying to Upgrade my O2 XDA Exec Rom with Windows Mobile 6.5 by explode. The process went successfully till 99% and after that it ended up with Error. Then I unplugged my pda from the pc and tried to restart the device. I was surprised that the device did not respond to any of the following
Soft Reset
Hard Rest
Boot Loader mode Start (Bulb + Power + Reset)
It is totally blank screen whatever you do.
When I connected the device to the pc with usb cable, a Red Light is shown for 2 seconds and then goes off and a message comes up on the pc that "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED".
Then I tried to Remove battery from the device for a whole night and the next day morning i did all the above procedures again to get no results.
Kindly Help me out

Im new to this forum and spending a few weeks doing searches I have found a new world of things I can do with my M5000! Only problem is I have the same problem as this guy. The problem started with no GSM, No Protocol version and no IMEI number, After countless rom installs and failed all I thought I left the sim in? Took batt out, No sim, Put the batt back in and now it wont turn on or do anything.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem or its it an expensive paper weight?? Im lost without it!

XDA Mini Problem, need help!

Hello,
I did a Hardreset on my XDA Mini and after that it loads when I start the files for the system and after that it changes back to the "Serial v1.02" screen.
How can I fix the phone that I can use it as before?
What is wrong?
I tried to upgrade to the new version of the o2 xda mini and after that it goes back to the "Serial" screen everytime.
I need help :/

I fixed this when I remove battery ant wait two hours. Or just try press soft reset button

Thanks for the answer.
I'll try but I guess that this won't work.
Would be happy if someone could give me more help...

If that don't work, try to reinstall your rom. If that happened when OS was loaded then that could be rom fail

hay hard reset again & plug your charger. try to this way.

reflash your ppc but use Windows XP
flash any shipped rom or coutlla's rom
