Hi!
I have xDA Mini S with WM5 and using it for 4 months; today i tried to install imaginet arabizer software and it hangged.
now i m trying to restart it but after the 1st boot screen, the screen becomes WHITE, and nothing happenes.
The Yellow light on top keeps blinking time to time.
tried to soft reset but no luck.
tried to hard reset as mentioned in book/forums but it doen'st ask/confirm for resetting the device.
Thinking of keeping battery out of the set for 72 hrs so that a/c to book it would reset; but i am afraid the battery will also be drained and the device might not get started.
FYI: i have 2GB Mini SD (may be it is helpful)
please can someone help me!
thanks in anticipation.

Got the delivery of the phone yesterday morning, bought Tomtom 5 for PDA in the afternoon, Installed tomtom (v5.21). By the evening everything was fine, I was able use the tomtom. All of sudden just before midnight it hanged and died. I tried soft reset a few time also hard reset twice to no avail. All I see is it tries to reboot - shows O2 splash screen and firmware thats all. It hangs there - there no way to turn it off either. tried pressing power button etc . no response from any key!
Any idea what to do?
thanks

Pull the battery out for about 15 minutes then plug it back in. That is equivalent to a soft rest.

Hi there,
I had exactly the same problem with my first XDA exec purchased on 3rd December, it ran perfectly until the 5th when it locked up in the way you describe, I tried hard and soft resets, leaving the battery out etc, to no avail. I changed the unit on the Tuesday 6th, and that unit worked for most of the day, but that evening the touch screen failed, and of course now that I have hard reset it, I can not calibrate the screen again!! so I shall take the unit back this weekend to see if I can get ojne that works!
best take yours back I would say unless anyone here has the answer for you or me!!

did you try reloading your rom? try and flash the device with a jasjar rom and see if it works....

Try go to bootloader then reset. My EXEC work for that.
As you are still within the 28 day period why bother with it? Just take it to an o2 shop. Don't think they will touch it if it was purchased through some other reseller though.
I took it to a O2 shop. They offered me a replacement, I chose the XDA IIi instead. Hope this one last bit longer.
Thanks everyone for suggestions.

My Exec has just died with the same symptoms as above. It was working fine, then it started acting up so I tried a soft reset and then several hard resets but it just hangs on the initial splash screen showing the firmware version. Thankfully it's within the 28 day period so hopefully my O2 shop will be able to swap it for me.
I hope the replacement is more reliable.
I got my hanging PDA working (for no reason it just hung at O2 Splash screen when i soft resetted - i haven't even started "hacking" it with UBER proggies yet!!)

keep up the good work guys - this forum is awesome. (without it i'd be in limbo land trying to fix my PDA in AUS where this is NO support for XDA EXEC (i got mine from UK
Hi all,
am I please to find this forum.! I have just bought an Xda Mini S from O2 in the UK.
I have loads of questions but firstly..
Suddenly last night it froze and it will now not get beyond the o2 mobile logo screen.
I have done a hard reset but all I get is 4 bars, red, green, blue and white across the full width aqnd depth of screen with IPL 1.05 and SPL 1.05 displayed.
What is happening and what do I do please?
I have loaded spb pocket and complete an outlook sncy and both seemed to work ok.
TIA.
The device is stuck in bootloader mode, try a soft reset using the stylus in the reset hole and that should fix it, if not the apply teh ROM again using the ROM on the O2 web site
thanks but...
A soft reset at the boat loader screen (3 colours) just results in the boot freezing at the Windows Mobile screen again.
The hard rest goes to the bootloader screen as does voice +camera + reset. When connected via the USB cable I get "USB" in the lower left corner.
Is there anything I can do from this bootloader screen please?
I also left the battery out overnight but that didn't help either.
getting anxious!
try reflashing the ROM, that should sort it.
phew solved
Many thanks for your prompt help.
I did not appreciate I could flash the ROM despite not being able to make a sync connection. I couldn't even see the XDA in device manager so was surpised when the flash utility actually worked.
thanks again till next time!
gald you hav sorted it
Hi all,
Hoping you can help me out with the himilaya i've got. I am currently using an xda mini s from uk but am working in kolkata at the moment and have been asked to fix a himilaya for a friend. the details of rom and radio version are below. the splash appears as usual on booting and loads for approx 4 seconds, then displays a small box with heading "Find Window Fail" with an OK button on the same title bar, and an empty box below. After displaying this for less than a second it just restarts and does repeats this process until the cows come home.
I've read through a lot of the posts here and have tried searching but can't find anyone else who's had the same problem.
Should I try reflashing (have never done this before) or will it even be possible?
Any help will be much appreciated. Fred
ROM = 1.03.00 USA
Radio= 1.05.12
I've now got the problem that I cannot even load bootloader, i've tried all the suggestions in other posts of leaving the battery out for an hour or more and then trying power, reset and navigation button all at the same time, it is literally dead. not sure how this happened, it was entering bootloader before and i left it overnight, now is totally unresponsive. tried recharging main battery seperately, no luck, when its in the cradle the red light comes on with no battery in it. have also tried formatting buttons (record camera and reset) but still nothing.
is there anything i can do??
still no luck, would taking it apart and taking the backup battery out and back in help?
any advice please
I have the same problem for 4 weeks now, still no luck in entering b/l mode.
Pls advise if you succeed, ok?
10x,

Hi,
My Atom-Exec decide over the weekend to go to a white screen and display nothing. i can hear things going on in the background (i.e beeps etc) but cant see anything. it sync with the PC so i'm guessing it may be hardward.
i tried a soft reset but cant see anything so cant confirm that i am doing it right. also tried taking out the battery for a couple of days but no luck.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
sunnyd
Most likely the screen is broken.

I don't know what happened to my Atom Life. After switching off the wifi, it became frozen. Then I made a soft reset and it went through the o2 welcome page and windows mobile page, then at the next page it hangs with the white screen with the blue time/signal bar on top. Nothing happen after that. I try hard reset by removing the battery but no prevail. I email o2 supports but their reply are very slow. Please help!!! thanks

Same thing happened to my phone weeks ago... I use atom pure. With the help of these forums and moderators i was able to solve the problem.
Have you done this and experienced the ff:
1. take out battery and sim leave for 30 mins to 1 hour
2. fully charge the battery then insert the sim
3. soft reset and hard reset. in the hard reset it stops at a screen where it says its processing the d deletion of files (restoring where it first started)
4. open using soft reset and camera click
... yellow/green light is working
Solutions below were given to me by one of the Senior Members here in this forum (jiggs) and my phone is now working well...
You just have to upgrade your ROM to correct the problem. It seems that the ROM (software) in your device has been corrupted, and is not functioning correctly.
You can download the latest ROM at the www.seeo2.com
To update your device, do the following:
1. go into bootloader mode: press CAMERA+RESET(Stylus) simultaneously for a second
2. ignore the display
3. connect the device to PC with USB to miniUSB connector
4. Run the upgrade ROM from seeO2.com
5. just follow the instruction on screen... basically, you will just click on next, next, next, and watch it till it finishes.
This procedure, however, erases, everything on your device. So, if you have something in there, it will be gone after the upgrade.
Hope you regularly back up your files...
