hi,
i have just downloaded the radio stack from O2 v4.21. I have tried to upgrade through active sync 3.71 it upgraded ok, but when i went to restart the XDA it gets stuck on the boot screen. the one that says test not for resale... and at the bottom right hand corner its says A.30.07 and then locks up.
normally before i tried to upgrade it said A.30.07 the underneath it said 4.20...
anybody know what i need to do to correct it?? i have looked through loads of forum posts and now i'am really confused???
Thanks alot
Zetex :?:
a bit of further info my Bootloader on my xda1 is 5.22
I'am also willing to pay for help i recieve to get my xda up and running again, because without it i really i'am stuck. I don't just use it as i gadget i use for everyday work/pleasure...
Thanks alot
Zetex
can anybody help me????
Hi,
No experts or semi-experts seem to be offering any help. I consider myself a fairly experienced novice so I am not sure how useful (or safe) my advice is. Take care! But here are my observations..........
You say the upgrade went OK? Does this mean you got as far as the message Flash Complete! Press OK to restart your device?
If so, this is encouraging as most of the problems I've located on this forum stopped part way through the upgrade (many at 1%).
Did you follow the instructions accompanying the upgrade to the letter? (ie. kill all running programs, switch off phone etc.)
The 4.21 upgrade is for the PW10A1 model not the PW10B1 (check the back of your xda's case to find out). Not sure how you deal with this one if yours is a PW10B1.
Can you enter bootloader mode? (soft reset with the stylus while holding the power button). If so, this is also good news. Someone with more experience than me could probably tell you what to do next. (Possibly flash a new ROM using the SD card method. Although you upgraded the Radio Stack it may have corrupted or upset your Radio Unit/'ROM'. If you decide to do this, I suggest something based on the v3.17 such as the XDA developers special edition ROM ..... you can always upgrade to WM2003 again later.).
Good Luck!

cranny,
Thanks alot for the reply m8, I did try what you have suggested by reloading the 3.17 o2 rom via sd card and now it won't even switch on anymore.
not to worry its gone off to the xda repaire center in Norwich today for repair under warranty.
Thanks for the reply anyway m8

Hello, i have a small problem, i have a SVP M1000 for personal use, and a Qtek pocket pc issued by work, now im not really sure what the Qtek is at the moment its the same looking as the m1000 but different buttons slightly and a less shiney finish to it. the main problem is, that the MOD base im contracted at had the cameras disabled on them, due to regulations, i need the camera back on it to make life a hell of alot easier is there any way of installing the camera software back onto the device? i would change the rom, but i cant loose anything on the device because it all sync's through gprs, and hasalot of pre installed software by the firm i work for. if anybody here has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated,
ps. Himalaya is working great thanks to many pages read on here, and ovcourse the roms!
PPS. details on the Qtek
Rom version: 1.72.00WWE
Rom date : 03/15/04
Radio version: 1.14.00
Protocol version: 1337.24
extROM version: 1.72.189
The camera software resides in the extended rom, maybe it is present on yours but written out of the boot sequence. Look in your extended rom and see if it is there, if not I am sure somebody could upload it. I have an M1000 but it now has O2 rom and I am not sure that would work with your phone as I have never tried it.
A word of warning, it could mean unemployment for you and a possible lengthy interview with MOD police.

thanks for your reply! if i was to put a different extended rom on, would i lose any imformation at all?? i take it this qtek is an andes :?: ive already spoken to the mod plod and they cant see any problems with it, its just the site managers a bit of a **** :shock: the problem at the time was the new euro fighter was performing testing at the base and no leaked pictures could get out, so there should be no problem with it now, if someone could upload the extrom for me to flash the qtek with that would be great, and a little more info on the precedure! if theres anything worth uploading from the qtek please let me know, i would be more than happy to upload anything.
Again thanks for the help.
can anybody help me here?
I have a blank next to my EXT ROM - -but the camera still seems to work !?
If you put in a different extended rom you will lose any proprietary cabs/programs that your employers may have installed to the extended rom in your phone. I would assume that even in the case of a hard reset your phone will install the programs that your employers wish to be available and the others will have been removed or written out of the boot sequence. Look for roms and extended roms here.

here's the camera software that usually exists in the extended ROM,just install the CAB file,and.........say cheese

Hey everyone...I'm a total newbie when it comes to PPC phones...so please bare with me..
anyways..I recently bought an O2 Mini S...and I seem to be having some small problems with it..
when you press the "send" button, it should bring you automatically to the phone keypad...however this doenst seem to work all the time (or much at all...) I have to soft reset the machine to actually get it to start working...and then after 10 minutes or so...it doenst work again until i reset again...NONE of the "phone" functions work either when this happens...i cant go to the call history or get to any of those functions...even if I pull up the "programs" screen...and click on the "phone" icon, it still doesnt work...I have no idea how to fix it..
One solution i figured MIGHT work is to reflash the unit...cuz maybe its a software glitch...however I have absolutely NO clue how to reflash this unit...I've been reading around the site for the past 4 hours trying to learn some of this stuff...but as I am retarded when it comes to computers, I am quite confused...
and what would be the best ROM to upgrade/reflash it with??
Also, I find the machine to be extremely laggy...I dont know if its just mine...and if its the some other software problems..but its very laggy..
And a third thing...I dont know aout other branded HTC Wizards...but for the O2 Mini S, I have this Icon menu going down the left side of the screen...does anyone know how to get rid of it?
If anyone can PLEASE give me a hand...I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance...
It sounds like theres summat wrong with the ROM, also i think you might be running an old ROM too.
I'd suggest downloading the new ROM from www.my-xda.com and flash it with that, it works great on mine.
If your not running an older ROM then do a hard-reset and re-install, but reset before the O2 custom install stuff gets the chance to install.
P.S. hard reset by pressing the Voice record button + Comms manager button then tap the reset, but keep hold of the other 2 buttons untill you see the message on screen.
Hey thanks for the quick reply..
Just checked teh ROM version...some oldschool stuff compared to what you have listed
ROM Version 1.5.4.2 WWE
ROM date: 11-8-05
Radio version: 01.09.10
Protocol Version: 4.0.13.20
ExtROM Version: 1.5.4.102
I'm guessing this is a lot older than the new stuff...
Anywyas..I tried to dowlonad the newest software updates off the O2 site but its not allowing me cuz i cant provide a proper phone number...ive tried guessing some phone numbers but no dice...any help there?
Also, would it be necessary to reflash the entire device to get rid of possible bugs in the OS? or would a simple software upgrade such as downloading off teh O2 site work?
Danny, how do you find the O2 software? have you tried other ROM's such as those for the Qtek 9100 or Imate K-jam??
Any help on downloading the appropriate files and maybe a link or details about how to actually update the machine would be great.
Thanks in advance again
Oh btw...what do you mean by "
but reset before the O2 custom install stuff gets the chance to install. "?
FIGURED IT OUT!!
shweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!
LOVE YOU DANNY B!!
lol
jk
but yeah...i got a UK number from my buddy whos from the UK...downloaded the stuff..updated it...and the thing works flawlessly now...oh man...and it seems to be running a lot faster...much less lag...
lifesaver!!!
hi i was trying to flash my friends htc 8125 with the tutorial on this web and now i just have 3 color display or boot mode i think. im new this was my first time i flashet first with buton ... flash but not work error 302 but after i flash with alternative flash was in the tutorial and i get an error to so i dont know what to do how to repair
HTC CINGULAR 8125
IPL 1.05
SPL 1.05
I'm kinda of new too, but I believe you just have to pick the rom u want to flash up to. U r at the ideal ipl & spl. I just did that to mine about a week ago and then flashed it EXACTLY like forum said and then just update to 3.XXIPL & 3.XXSPl. After which I picked 1 of the TNT rOMs and wella! try to flash it up now
i dont know wheres to find the roms do you have a link or something
Have you CID unlocked yet?
Obviously not unlocked yet!
Cause he stucks on step 1 !
hahahaha upgrade an original rom... try the 2.26 tmobile not 3.08 please...
Hey Que
I will be getting T-Mobile any hour today...
I will be following all the instructions and try to use a Cingular card on it.
I'm trying to decide what to use for updating the rom on this 8125 the ipl reads 2.25 the spl reads 2.25. in the tutorial there isnt any mention of these that I can ascertain. the other numbers are os 2.25.11.1 gsm 02.25.11
Is this even a necessity. The unit shuts down and is very difficult to get restarted, seems to be a good unit, just looking to make it more reliable. Thanks in advance for the help.

Your phone is running the official cingular stock rom and has official IPL/SPL 2.25 (Bootloaders),its nothing to be worried about,now it depends if you prefer to reflash the official wm5 rom or wud like to upgrade to latest wm6.1 custom build roms.
If you want to keep official then download the official wm5 stock rom and simply flash it,but if you desire to upgrade to latest wm6.1 rom,as no official wm6 roms are provided,therefore,you'll have to flash a custom build wm6.1 rom,and for that you'll have to get your phone CID unlocked.
my phone is in boot mode i dont have the roms im new wheres can i find the rom that you say the tmobile my phone was with the original cingular rom or where can i find the original one
mmmmm ok!
I dont have the link but you an enter in wiki section for wizard... is a thread that said wizard goes wiki click there and then it tooks you to the wiki pages! there... you can found a link that takes you to the original roms... choose the one you see for cingular..... some links are broken so dont desperate maybe we can found other one... if you dont get it there you can choose the search tool just follow my steps on my signature says The XDA search culture...
Dont be afraid men you only need to use some more things to start unbricking your phone... (I hope so) many things tooks time cause we dont read enough now lets work men!!!
Well avoiding duplicatted posts this is gonna change many times
Here is my RUU without ID http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429327&page=9
I didnt found the cingular but try to unzip the exe file with winrar... the nk.nbf can be cutted and pasted in the RUU folder to upgrade it without ID vendor permissions... we will on touch men!
Xplain more
Xplain more of your problem remember that unlock upgrade flashing dids most be done on XP and without SIM and MiniSD pluged... be sure your batt is full charged and your USB cable dont have troubles.
Can you privide more info abour exactly what you have done... please men we need all you got
OH remember not to use so much your phone on Bootloader screen cause we need the batt almost 70% to downgrade unlock and upgrade again it dont charge in RGB screen.
About getting official Wizard Cingular ROMs.
I called HTC and Cingular they say that HTC is not licensing the Wizard WM6 from Microsoft anymore, so they are not supplying the ROMs for the public.
No official support from Cingular/HTC on Wizard for WM6 or 5 for that matter.
I'm new to pdas I've only ever had cell phones so with that in mind its confusing as to where to start. I'm electronic savvy when it comes to car repair, however some of this is daunting at best. I'd like to take this semi-bricked wizard to the next level.
Everytime I find what I'm looking for the webpage is obsolete, what to do?

First,always post the DOC Chip version of the phone,what is the IPL/SPL of the phone.
Secondly,what exactly is the problem and what you want to do ?
the ipl/spl are at 2.25 and the specific problem is that wen in hibernate mode the only way to work with it is to remove the battery to restore functionality, then that resets the factory settings of time and date and also drops calls etc.

Its a G3 version,download the official stock wm5 rom from here and flash it:-
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe
But,if you want to upgrade to latest wm6 then follow this link and do it correctly as the guide reads :-

G3 devices don't get Bricked like this,by just flashing a rom,untill and unless you have flashed any G4 IPL/SPL on it,otherwise,G3 phones never get Bricked.So most probably its the battery,try to get the battery charged or get another battery from a friend and confirm it.
As an update and thank you very much. I purchased a new battery and the the store was good enough to pre charge it. We installed the above official wm5 file and its currently going throuh re updating itself. I did happen to notice that it now has an AKU2 file. Is this an update over and above what I had originally?
Once again thanks....
Are there any problems with 3G sim cards because when I installed the card the phone reacts as if there is no battery. No charge indicator or any activity.
Problem solved, it helps to have the sim card properly seated.......
Thanz!
You are most welcome,glade its working.
Yes,the above rom is AKU 2,its an upgrade to your previous official Rom,always try to keep the battery fully charged,as it creates many problems if it gets below the required retention charge of 30%.
Try out the Guide I posted above and see if you can get it CID unlocked and upgraded to latest wm6.1 rom,thats where the fun begins....!

Hi!
Hey Flyboy!
What's this Dopad? I gone through the description of flashing ROM & found to press "Dopad+Reset+Power button".
Well, I came across many WM6 & WM6.1, also read reviews for the same, which is most trusted or you like to use?
lol
typing error! DPad- press in the center of the directional pad
btw: when du get your himalaya?
i will make you a video on youtube if your still not sure.

A little more help please, Dear!
Firstly, a bi....g Thanks man!!
for the help rendered & efforts taken for me by making demo YouTube video.
Well, I all set go for my first ROM update. But just the part of precaution, I'v a query!
I gone through many threads & wiki, which helped me like tutorial.
But if suppose the new ROM update gets crash with my Himalaya, is there any way to re-jump to the existing original ROM I do have in device now?
I mean, can I bounce back to original ROM, in case of new ROM update failure?? If yes, please guide me how??
Hey Man, sorry for troubling you again & again!!
1. it will probably not go wrong
if you list all the spec of your computer and the equipment that you have for your himalaya it would give me a clearer idea about upgrading for you.
2.Its ok it keeps me busy! my teacher has gave me 3 htc voxes to fix in the past. anyway.
a little story.
When i got my himalaya in march this year i was chufed at what it could do then i discoverd that the rom was out of date and that was why i couldnt install much. Then i found this place. I read up on some threads on updating and i saw it was possible. So i nervously followed the guide because i found that if anything went wrong the device could be rendered unuseable. But... I went ahead and flashed it and it worked. And the first rom i ever flashed was athers windows mobile 6 ultimate edition. Since then i have not yet found a rom as brilliant as stable as it.
so when upgrading things can go wrong. but dont be reluctant to flash a new rom.
and you would have to do a bit of research if you decided you wanted the original rom back.
btw how old are you?
ONE MORE THING. I WILL LOOK FOR THE ORIGINAL ROM FOR YOU TONIGHT.
flyboy
I would also like an original Himlaya rom backup (O2 XDA II). As soon as I have the backup I will be flashing away!
Whoa!
Ooh! 12 yrs old compu geek ur!!
Well, I'm of 25!!
Thanks for encouragement. Like you, me too love my gadget very much & peruse a hobby of using high profile gadgets. I was not aware of this platform & came across through Googgling.
Long time I'm using O2 XDA II & loves it badly, it's a last gift from one of my friend from Singapore who's no more.
I'v a HP 614c gadget & if succeed with this , I'l like to have some R & E with that too, in fact that's require on that.
im 13 btw

Oh, Sorry!!
Hah..ha....haahaha!!
I'm sorry, ur profile shown 12 y'day.
Well man, I got this link (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=233219) relate to O2 XDA II WM 2003 SE ROM, please have a look on the same.
Whats your opinion, can I use this for bounce back to previous version, in case of any problem?
that rom i would recommend flashing with that first.
just to make sure3
dont forget to back up!
good luck
flyboy
Pls suggest!
Hey Flyboy!
Y'day I tried to do the process but I fell to upload Hard SPL (BTW I'm going for C_shekhsr's ROM)
I followed noobs guide, update the USB driver for vista, then went to bootload the device & try to force Hard SPL.
Following all given instructions also its showing connection error (Error 260, 264) & process stops, but in reality everything is well connected & correct.
Well, when Hard SPL program executing, I observe, it also not showing my old version @Upload (second stage of confirmation).
Is there any special process for O2 XDA II hard SPL & on vista os??
I followed all guides well; What do you think may b going wrong?
Hard SPL? whats that? i never had to use it.
regarding error no connection:
go to task manager and make sure something a long the lines of microsoft usb sync or something is installed. and then disallow all the connection settings in windows mobile device center.
oh and if it still doesnt work try it without hard spl because i didnt use it. and it works on 7 and xp.
oh and the rom im using now is WinMoB_6.1_OS_5.2.21109_Build_21109_-_Lite_WWE.
try it! it runs touch flo!
dont hesitate to contact me.
or i could show you better on msn?

Hi!
Hey man!
As I said I'm looking to dumb C-Shekhar OS with following specs:
----------------------------------------------------------------
ROM: WM1.60.21014aCS(build 21014 AKU 1.60)
dated: 09.Jan.2009
OS 5.2.21014 (Build 21014.1.6.0)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, he flaged Hard SPL as compulsory pre requirement.
Well, the OS you have mentioned, is that of Ather? or from which source?
Y'day I tried Asia CE2003 (Upgraded), & that worked.
Well, in Bootloader, the device connectivity is a main issue occurring with me & I'm failing to understand the reason. I mean is this bcs of Vista or else?
sorry for late reply (baned from my computer!)
the rom i wrote is by nokser
just try it without the hardspl thing cause it worked for me.
Hi!!
Hey Flyboy!!
I load the Ather's dark ROM (WM 6.0) & its really nice, I'm enjoying a new look to my gadget.
Well, is it possible to install FM Radio on O2 XDA II? I tried the same from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479572 but saying not related application after installing cab.
Do you have any clue for same??
Well,before I logout, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas
& here's hoping for a wonderful ski season in the New Year! A very happy new year 2010, my friend!!!
..Have a blast, Cheers !!!!
Thanks!!! really that cheered me up!
Well all the best wishes to you also my friend!!!!
The FM radio is a good idea but dont think it will work.
Are you staying with that dark rom from ather or you still going for the C_shekhar one?
merry christmas!
flyboy
btw: have you tryed manila touchFLO? its great!
