ok i've done a bit of searching and i'm pretty sure its software related.
i got an mda pro from when i booted the phone up its had a o2 splash screen, so im assuming its had its software updated. so the phone works fine for about 6 hours or so but then it starts tt freeze up, propgrams stop responding and the phone wont do any thing. i left the phone like this for a few moments then i got a txt and the phone seamed to be working fine untill i went to use the camera and i got "the file camera cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted cert or one of its components can not be found you might need to reinstall or restore this file".
ok so i had a look and found the Available Universal Versions and Upgrades
the thing is i'm not sure which is the best to use or how to do it.
what would you guys recomend i do ?
thanks
MDA Pro with O2 Rom?
Seems so that there is other Rom on it. Normally, this is not a Problem, but who knows, what was changed in this Rom.
I would recommend to download new Rom and install this.
Try http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html
Thats got the latest XDA update.... give it a go and then get the new 1.09.00 radio update too...
Hopefully that will sort you out!
chears i'll give that one a go and see what happpens. fingers crossed
ok so i downloaded the Xda Exec ROM v 1.13.188 from the above site followed the directions in the pdf file, connected the phone and made sure there arnt any programs running in the backgroung. when i try to runn the application to do the upgrade it says its trying to connect to the phone then gives
"error 201: get device data error
can not get device data
please make sure device is connected and run this update utility again"
only problem is that it is connected or so ms active sync says.
any ideas whats goign on or is there another way to update the software ?
thanks guys its apreciated
ok so i managed to get past that stage but
now i get
error 102 ce image file check sum error
the rom image file to be used for the update is corroupt. please download the correct device software update utility and try again.
i have no idea what that means any sugestions ?
@cusaeng, can't help with the ROM update but your initial problem of problems after 6 hours is typical of the Universal when its running low on RAM. Use an app like GSPMaigc+ which can really close processes and reboot once a day (obviously once you solve the ROM issue).
chears i'll look in to that program once i get the rom issues sorted
i've trued downloading a version of the jas jar rom and that give the same error message about being unable to get device information.
when i flashed phones befor eg a motorola a1000 you had to get the phone in to bootloader mode then use a progran to flash it is it a simaler process with the mda ?
i really dont know if i'm doing anything wrong or not

Hi new user and abuser already!
I've just purchased a XDAII which I was told would log onto inetnet from today. Nothing happened so I've tried to download upgrade from O2 website. Halfway through upgrade(which wasn't probably required) it crashed. Now it wont do anything. It won't even switch on. When I try to download upgrade on website now it says something about ROM from vendor! HELP what do I do or have I completely ****ed it up!
Cheers
Message
This is the message I get when trying to upgrade;
ERROR 100 Model ID ERROR
The Rom image you are trying to use is not designed to work with your pocket PC. Please check the vendor website and download the correct Rom update.
following this guide should make you avoid getting that error
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
SERIAL v1.06
Dont understand what its saying! Is there a simpler way? O2 say if it doesn't reset after Hard reset I need to send it back!
Hi, Don't know if anyone can help. I had a perfectly working XDA2 up until I tried to upgrade the ROM the other night. Now I have a useless hunk of junk that states "error 112 CE ROM update error. I have browsed every fix given on the forums, but to no avail. As my unit is covered by warranty (and I may possibly be getting a XDA2s as a replacement heh heh") I am not too bothered, however although a newbie I would still like to know if there is any way I can fix this problem that I haven't yet tried, just for future reference. At the moment the only display I get, on an unlit screen is either serial V1.03, when not in cradle or usb v 1.03, when in cradle. I have tried soft reset, hard reset, tried a coupe of rom upgrades, disbled active sync, and even tried prayer and using the force! Unfortunately my jedi powers are not sufficiently develpoed enough, so I would be very grateful if you could help me out here. Incidentally, this site is fantastic! Thank you to all who are resposible for it, and long may it continue. Merry Xmas!
You could try flashing with the launch rom from O2, I dont have the link for the download but I am sure somebody else has. The launch rom was available for download so you could revert in case of problems.

I had same eror 112 CE rom bla bla bla... on my comp.
Some program from my comp. crashed upgrading every time.
Solution that worked for me was clean computer with only activesync instaled and everything worked fine with same ROM from before.
Thanks guys, will try those methods. Nothing to lose eh! Merry XDA-MAS to you all. Ho ho ho!
I had the same or similar problem, just upgrading from the official 1.72.181 a window came up telling some thing was wrong, do a hard reset and try again.
After the hard reset all I can see on the unlighted screen was a Serial 1.06.
Launched the upgrading program again with the PDA on the craddle and it seems to be performing correctly and I can see the upgrading process in the PDA screen if alighted with a torch.
May be if you try it again you succeed.

Hello Guys,
Disaster. I tried updating to the new ROM from the O2 website and it fails with : "ERROR114....
Tried the version from this great forum and guess what? same error.....
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
My XDAIIi was brill. Now its dead...
Try putting the 2i into bootloader mode by pressing the power button, action pad down and the reset button at the same time. The screen will say serial with a version number at the bottom. When you connect it to your computer this should change to USB. Then try running the update again.
If you are using the modified version I posted on this site then the install will fail. Just run the program MAUpgradeUT_noid.exe a second time without touching the 2i at all.
Hope all goes well.
Hi Pug,
Unfortunaely that has not work. see screen shots attached.
can anyone tell me what this damn error is pls...............
oh by the way the iMate PDA2 rom fails as well with the same error. !!
If both your devices are failing to upgrade the problem must lie with your computer somewhere.
Are you using firewalls like zonealarm which may be interfering with the update process. If so try disabling them.
I assume you are connecting using USB and not serial. Do so if for no other reason than it's faster.
Are you using Activesync 4? More stable for upgrading than 3.8 but lacks sync over LAN feature - not a great deal if you've never used it. You can find this on the wiki link top left of this page.
Try downloading the packages again. I've posted the radio rom here as thats the one you seem to be having immediate problems with. Download it and overwrite the one on my modified rom.
I'll post more if I think of anything as I'm suffering a hangover right now and can't think too much cos it hurts. :?
thnx pug,
really appreciate your help. yes iam running firewall (norton). I will try your modified radio and advise. fingers crossed. and thnx once again.
using activesynch 4 as well from this forum
Hi pug,
Sorry the radio did not work. renamed the radio and ran update and the update works for nk.nbf and ms.nbf files. without radio the phone does not work but proved that there is no problem with my pc or usb cradle etc. the problem is the radio.
my IMEI is 354962000270150.
the radio file from the Launch rom from O2 does not work, so either my IIi has a damaged component or something else that I am not aware of.
copied your radio file to the other iMate upgrade and it still fails with the same error 114 !!
Any other ideas or suggestions pls, its really depressing to loose the XDAIIi permanently.
Oh I forgot to mention that the IIi is also unlocked and the ExtROm is unlocked as well. Will this make a diffeence?
The fact that the 2i is unlocked won't make any difference. The EXTRom on the 2i can't be unlocked and always results in the storage being locked which will stop the phone being updated. Maybe not at the actual update stage but certainly further down the line after the hard reset.
Ok now I have have tried various things as posted in this forum in various sections. Still get the same error.
Originally about 3 months ago, I had to hard reset, then I used the Launch ROM from the O2 website. I still have that original exe but that also NOW fails. I am now running out of options.
Any other ideas?
It might be that because you have unlocked the Extended ROM that it causes this fault, either that or you device has an internal problem which you cannot fix.
Take it back to the shop they will replace it.
114 error
I got my XDA2i back from O2 after a warranty mainboard replacement and decided to upgrade with the new O2 rom..horrors.. I got the 114 error and repeated efforts failed to cure it. I then inatalled a/sync on another PC and ran the upgrade from there...
Bingo! it worked..always worth a try if things defy logic.
Probably an old firewall that didn't uninstall properly.
One thing though, does anybody know when my backup battery will kick in and charge.
It arrived back from O2 completely dead but even with the main battery full it doesn't want to take a charge yet??
Hitla
Just humour me and try the radio upgrade on another PC... That's how i got round my 114 error
To all the people who have advised me... thank you.
I have tried the upgrade on 2 other laptops I have, one with Activesync 4 and one with Activesync 3.8.
AND..... the same failure error.
I have now taken it back to O2 and they have taken it in for repair !!
Should rcv it back next week hopefully repaired or replaced !!
Will keep you guys posted.
Once again great forum and great posters with serious technical advice.
Well done keep it up.
Soory guys,
Have been away for the last few weeks, so unable to update you all.
Well O2 replaced my device. It has the new ROM but the old radio !!
I would like to thank all of you advised me.
Hi,
I just downloaded the O2 Rom-Upgrade.
To keep my 2020i in German I only did a Radio-Update from 1.02 (ran the installer and copied the files to a different directory together with the AllUgrade kindasomething.....)
The update worked, it always worked this way, but after the update the Radio showed up as 1.00.00 (MUST be 1.03, at least that is what o2 says....)
Any idea?
Thanks, Günter
P.S.: I should add that the phone works..
Hi
My alpine had been upgraded to 02's new rom which took the radio back to 1.0. I don't use the Blackberry functionality so decided to try Pug's update. I also hate all the 02 stuff (no longer with them anyway) but after following the readme and forum comments to the letter the upgrade - using Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped.rar hung at the radio update bit - every time and I tried loads.
I then decided to reinstall the the 02 (my-xda site) update which also didn't work. I've now tried putting the alpine into bootloader mode and trying the upgrade with three of the files Pug kindly put up. I've rebooted my pc between, tried everything I can think of several times, each time only trying something different after trying the same way more than once and I am left with a PDA with a blank screen which only reads USB v1.01.
Sorry, additional info. I don't have to use Task Manager to end the process as I get this error which allows me to exit:
Error 114: Radio Rom Update Error.
I used Winrar (new beta version) to extract the .rar file(s).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Leanne
It's probably OK!
Still - don't panic - you should have found out by now that if you do a reset it will load all the original ROM info and you should be back where you started.
I suggest you read through all the posts in pugs ROM thread. In there you will find a reply from christoperwoods pointing to a patched installer located at :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
Follow the instructions and you should be OK.
After the reset try the ROM upgrade again. As long as you have external power (and I would strongly recommend using the mains adapter as USB power is not as reliable as you may think) throughout the upgrade - which takes 20-30 mins in total - you should be OK.
I would be interested in what you think of it - I actually went from the ROM version you are trying to load to the O2 .171 ROM upgrade yesterday as I was having problems with GPS connectivity on the pug ROM. I know the radio stack is only 1.00 - but it works for me.
Phil
XDA Radio upgrade hang prob.
Huge thanks for responding, Phil. Unfortunately no amount of resetting, either normally or bootloader mode has worked.
I had read through all Pugs' threads, but took your suggestion on board and re-read in case I had missed something. I also tried the alternative patched installer you mentioned - to no avail.
I've had a chat with an XDA repair house now and we think it may be a problem with the connectors, but even if it isn't I am dropping the pda into them as I have a very limited timeframe to get a fix done (it's Friday and I leave the country on Tuesday!!). A suggestion has been made of using something called jafwm (I think that's what it was) to reload the system but you need a dongle to complete the process.
I'm interested in your comment about the gps side of things as well, as this is one of the main uses for my pda (destinator) - along with reading books (ereader) and listening to books (audible).
Ideally I am looking to rid my XDA of all 02 specific stuff (except the battery monitor) and have the newest radio version as I have found 1.0 problematic.
Once I get back online again in New Zealand (where I am going on Tuesday 20/6) I will drop a reply to the forum about what truly ended up being the problem.
Anyway, once again thanks for the response and the helpful suggestions

Helo all - I could really use a hand here. This is the second time I have faced this issue.
When trying to make a call on my 614c when the battery is low, it crashes. Upon reboot, the radio no longer works and I cannot make any calls. It just goes into a permanent "Seaching" mode.
What I've tried:
Reboots - warm and cold
Removing the battery for 30 mins
Reset to defaults
Multiple different ROMs including upgrading and downgrading the Radio
No luck.
Last time (3 months ago) I ended up sending it to ipaqrepair to be fixed.
They said:
"the un-official hacked ROM installed in combination with a corrupt / mismatched GSM Radio ROM, these are the root cause of the issues"
I had actually NOT installed a non-official ROM until after it stopped working in a desperate attempt to fix it. But when they got it, it was a 6.5 ROM.
This time, I had upgraded it to 6.5....but I have since downgraded to the official ROM an installed the. .89 Radio update.
It wont work at all and I can't justify mailing it away for another expensive repair.
Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.....
Any ideas? How can I effectively "blow away" all the software/drivers and set the device up as new? IpaqRepair said it was corrupt software last time....
I've installed different ROMs via flash.dio and I tried the HP radio upgrade RUU_1.8.0_081208_MP_M089_WWE. Are their files or settings that the installs I am doing do not affect - and if so, how do I repair/replace them?
Using Sim Manager, it says the phone is not ready. It's just like the phone radio won't initialize...
This phone originated overseas (Europe) - could that be somehow causing this issue since I'm using it in the USA? Something locking or changing and no longer compatible?
Not sure what else I can do and am missing my phone. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Still fighting with this....maybe onto something now?
When I get the asset viewer information for the phone it shows the radio is present and the firmware number.
the Stack Version, Bootloader Version, Filesystem Verions and Radio GDFS versions are blank.
It does show the IMEI.
I'm guessing I'm missing file/data for the radio....but reinstalling the Radio ROM HP offers has not helped (maybe not complete - just an upgrade?)
Thoughts?
Anyone have a copy of the original ROM and .81 Radio ROM?
Maybe rolling it all the way back might get it operational again....
Official Drivers/Rom/Radio for 614c
Hi,
You can download official drivers from HP website. The forum does not allow me to post the link. Just search for "official 614c drivers" in google and you wil get the link.
Also note, please install using WINDOWS XP os as installing this using other os such windows 7, windows vista etc is not possible.
Okay - I tried installing the software from the HP Website using XP - but it still isn't working. It's just like the software for the radio is corrupted and it won't replace it (does not list the versions like it should when you look at the software inventory).
Is there any way to manually do this? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone can help me get this resolved, I'm definitely buying them a beer.
Basically the GSM just seems to be bricked. Last time a software fix resolved it, but I'm not sure what software needs to be installed to get the radio working again.
What is the best way to blow it all away and start over? Is there a way to manually delete the radio files - or to look at them for versions/dates to see what is corrupt or mismatched.

I guess, you will get enlightenment for the problem on your device at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455840
Bump.....
Still hoping for a solution. I have gone to a Glisten now, but do not like it as much as the 614c.
I'm open to any suggestions.
