As a new O2 xda exec user, I thought I should play safe and upgrade to latest ROM etc on the O2 web site. After a couple of false starts and after checking the excellent wiki advice, I got the thing to run through and complete the upgrade.
But on doing the final hard reset, I find myself with a completely garbled screen instead of the O2 splash screen. After a couple of seconds the 3 lines of text appear on the screen (the R, G and D numbers) but against the background 'snow' I can't read them. No response to keyboard or to 'random' pressing the screen. The screen eventually turns off after a few minutes but when switched back on remains with the same garbled screen as before.
Tried going through the whole process again but sadly got the same result.
Tried going into bootloader and doing a soft reset (as advised one of the many upgrade problem threads I've checked) but that also took me to the same garbled screen.
Can anyone help me out with this? I can't find anything quite like this on the Wiki or in any recent threads.
Should I try an alternative ROM? Stupid question, but is a Jasjar ROM OK on an O2 exec?
Hi - just thought I'd save people any wasted effort. This problem is now sorted.
It seems the O2 web site had linked to an out of date ROM which I downloaded and installed in blissful ignorance. Went back to the web site and found the link is now updated and gives the correct ROM version. This loaded and started up with no problems.
In case anyone reads this - although I didn't get any direct responses from the community I would still like to say a big thanks cos the Wiki and the responses to other threads are a real help. You guys have put a lot of effort into this and created a resource which is invaluable.
Top bananas!
lol...well i guess me and u were in the same boat my dude...i def did exactly da same thing u did..jus a new user getting the update and fu**ed my ish up...thanx 4 posting this tho it was some help*goes to download new update*
I cant even sync with my pc anymore i dont know wat to do
I'm no expert - as the screw up above amply demonstrates - but the failure to sync was one of the rage inducing steps I went thru too. Sometimes the PC would recognise the xda but other times it wouldn't. In my case, it was sorted by reading in another part of the forum how to get into bootloader mode by pressing the light and on/off button at the same time as using the stylus to press the soft reset. This should take you into boot loader - an apparently dead screen but if you look closely you should see 'Serial' at the top and 'v0.xx' at the bottom.
If you reconnect by USB cable to your PC the 'Serial' should change to 'USB' and in my case I was able to run the software on my PC to update the ROM.
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but hope this works for you. Otherwise check out the Wiki section (wiki.xda-developers.com) which has lots of good tips.
i fixed it i had jus installed a new rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305225
I am trying to follow this tutorial but the links for the button rom and lokiwiz dont work can anyone link me one that works?
Thanks
read the 'read first' sticky in the wizard upgrading forum, everything is in there
That would be great advice if those links worked. But they don't work for me. Actually the problem I am having is identical to wind_sun's post in March. I will just copy and paste as I dont know if I could word it better. And it goes a lil something like this:
Dr. P:
I have been doing the unlocking SIM and CID for several rounds and no luck so far. So I am thinking that I would put up a message here for helps from you and others. Here is the related info:
tmobile USA MDA
IPL /SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I downloaded CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE and extracted into a folder and start the downgrade process by double click ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID since it is G3 with 2.XX ROM.
The verify screen reads:
From:
Model ID: WIZARD
Image Version: 1.2.0.0
Language: ENGLISH
To:
Model ID: Prodigy
Image version:
Language: WWE
Everything goes smooth until I get to 98% done. The tool complained:
ERROR[302]: UPDATE ERROR (My situation is different in the computer goes to 100% then states it has to close for some problem. It prompts me to send or don't send to Microsoft. The phone remains at 98%)
and ask me to recover by disconnecting usb cable and taking out battery, which I did.
After I put back battery, the MDA screen comes back with 3 color bootloader display. The screen still show IPL/SPL 2.26 version at this time. I did see USB on the left bottom of the screen when I reconnect USB cable.
Then follow the instruction to rerun the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID on PC.
It errored out at the 98% AGAIN and shows me the SAME error messages.
Repeat the process and it always errored out at the same point with the same error message.
Of course I was able to rescue my MDA by reflashing it with the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM with no problem.
But I still want to downgrade so that I can unlock and upgrade. There was no reply to this thread by wind_sun. A lil help? Thanks in advance.

I just checked this thread and all the links work
are you saying that you can't flash the button rom?
BBOBECKYJ,
Exactly. Exactly as stated above. I am having the same problem wind_sun had. Hangs at 98%. Thanks again.

I've not read the thread - i didn't need to, I followed the instructions exactly and it worked
I'm confused about what you're saying, firstly that the links to the roms didn't work, (so i gave you those links). Now it seems you are saying that the roms won't flash yet you also say you still can't download those same roms
i believe the guide i linked (not the one you were using) is foolproof, and if you follow each step exactly you can't go wrong.
also if you're having problems, you should post in that thread and not create a new thread - as it is monitored by the thread creator who may be able to help you.
I am having the same problem wind_sun had

so what was the response to that problem? (if any) does that not solve yours?
First, I apologize. I do not post often. The result is my forum etiquette is poor. This thread belonged to someone else. Initially, I was backing them up in stating that the first reply to this thread was incorrect and was not valid at the time of the posting. I knew this as I had tried those same links in the past 24 hours. My mistake was stating my problem in this thread in the same post obviously. That was poor mannered in hindsight. Second, being that I do not post to forums often I forget how excruciatingly detailed a post or thread has to be. Everyone is not always on my frequency. Even so, with matters of the technical sort, people probe and ask questions. In the future, I will try to do better.

LOL i didn't notice that the third post - yours - was not the same person as post one, that explains my confusion
however, as he/she didn't post back again (yet) i assume that the link in my first post works, so try that if you have not yet done so
BBOBECKYJ,
I was only agreeing with THESCREENSAVERS about the ANTC thread. I took it light that if two people found the links to be broken ANTC might look into it. I was not clear in separating that from my own issue or that it was ANTC's advice/tutorial my initial post referenced. You are correct. I was stating ANTC's links did not work. Another great tutorial(minus links). I OBTAINED THE ROMS LAST NIGHT. After navigating through our excellent forums, for 24 hours I found the links for the tools mentioned in ANTC's thread in DR. PUTTINGHAM'S thread that you suggested. Thank you for that. I should have done that initially for THESCREENSAVERS instead of switching to my own frustrating issue. I tried to kill two birds(issues) with one sloppy hand grenade(post). Selfish me. What a mess it is that I have to apologize and clean up the mess I made with 3 more posts(and counting). Now my friend, I am so glad that DR. PUTTINGHAM'S tutorial worked well for you. The wording in your last post makes me less than a fool though or a fool that has proven DR. PUTTINGHAM'S post to not be foolproof. The ROMS DO NOT FLASH FOR ME. I have gone wrong. And wind_sun too. Which, by search is wind_sun's only post...nearly two months ago. But since we are here now. Again, I still want to downgrade so that I can unlock and upgrade. There was no reply to this thread by wind_sun. A lil help? Thanks in advance. CAN ANYONE HELP?
P.S. How did you follow the instructions if you did not read the thread?
No avatar, no gif's, no kewl one-liner...I'm so lame....
To answer your last question first, I used Faria's unlocking guide first. Dr P simplified and explained in more detail the same things in his thread. I read only the first post of the Dr P thread when I got stuck with the Faria one.
I am not aware that anyone would be unable to flash the button rom, (which is not to say it couldn't happen) and just to be very clear, you are using this guide?
Dr P thread is stickied, for amongst other reasons - I think he monitors it and helps anyone with questions. (ANTC is probably busy cooking another wm6 rom atm LOL)
ps try to break up your posts, it is hard reading very long blocks of text (and harder to reply to question within it)
pps don't apologize for posting - that's what forums exist for. it is annoying when it is obvious that someone has not read anything and then expects everything done for them, but you did read and had a go
I'd just like to add my 2 cents here if you don't mind
@ Babyexp
Have you tried downloading Button ROM again as it might be corrupted even though the download completed successfully? That's why some sites like Linux distros ftp have a file with the result of a checksum (SHA1,MD5,CRC32,etc...) so that users know the file isn't corrupted
The other option is to use another PC to see if the RUU crashes same way
cheers
Awesome posts. I feel like I got something accomplished. Then, I didn't. I'm back to WM5. Wish I could lift my chin a little like you guys with WM6....
Are you telling me about reading? I always seem to have the quirks/problems noone else has. I've been browsing the forums for the better part of two days! I'm squinting so much now I look Chinese! LOL. Thanks again. Can I get a link Mestrini?

hi guys
I'll be quick - as babyexp says, we're not trying to hijack teh thread, but having multiple people with the same issue in one thread, then if someone comes to resolution, is a good thing, imo.
I've been also trying to upgrade an htc wizard to wm6. I've re-downloaded the latest files for button 1.05 (from rapidshare) and lokiwiz, and have been following ANTC's guide. In step 3, he says run button, and let it complete, but when I run it, it also progresses up to 98% on the Wizard and my laptop, then pauses. After 3-4 minutes, the laptop updates to 99%, leaving the Wizard at 98% (red progress bar on the wizard), and stops again. I've left it for about 30 minutes at this point, but now on my 4th try at flashing, it hasn't completed once yet.
After removing the battery, and restarting to the colorbanded screen, I've been able to reapply the tmobile rom (RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship) to get the phone active again. However, attempting to put button on brings me to up to this 98% hang behavior
I've tried installing the wm6 rom directly on top of the tmobile one, which completes, but on restart, prompts for screen calibratrion, does customization, then is still running wm5 after the restart - even teh start/calibration screens look to be wm5. Strange behavior - my hermes upgraded with no issues, compared to this. Should I perhaps run lokiwiz first before button, and ensure that I run both a U(unlock) and C(Supercid unlock) ?
any pointers appreciated.
tks,
dwight.

yep, use the original unlocking guide, ANTCs is simplified i think. I linked it in my first post in this thread
ok thanks bbobeckyj - I'll give that a try on monday when i'm back in the office.
btw, "if at first you dont' succeed, try try again" isn't the best plan for these phones . I kept trying to reflash mine, and after about a dozen attempts, the battery died, and that was the end of that. ohh, i thought i had a brick there, as it wouldnt' charge via usb cable (i don't think).
I left it over night on a wall charger, and when i checked this am again, it was back to the colored bar screen, and I was able to put the tmobile base rom back on it. whew!
dwight.
Easy solution to ALLLL of these problems.
go to IMEI-CHECK .. pay the 40 dollars to unlock ur phone.. Update to WM6.. Easy.. Stop being cheap.
Hi Guys/Gals,
I'm VERY new to all of this, as far as I was concerned, FLASHING was a bloke in a dirty mackintosh!
I do hope that I'm posting this in the right section (like I said I'm new to all this)
I have (had) an O2 XDA Exec, it had WM5 on it, and my (idiot) boyfriend decided that I should have WM6. I trusted him to do this (I know, I'm too trusting too ). During the installation, using active sync, Vista decided that it knew better and everything went kapput!
I'm sorry that I can't desribe it in your techie speak.
All I have now is a blank screen, and when I plug it in to charge the red light comes on.
ANY and all help would be VERY VERY much appreciated.... and if I may, could I ask that any help is described to me as if you were talking to a 10 year old?
Many, many thanks.

Hope Not
Check and read the WIKI for Universal and am pretty sure you can find some answer in there. I nearly bricked my Exec once but every information i needed is in the WIKI. By the way is there anything on the screen? Have you tried doing a hard reset?
Where to start?
Thanks Sandi76,
There is nothing on the screen at all, I've tried doing a soft reset and a hard reset and still nothing.
I'm looking at Wiki now, but I honestly don't know where to start. It must be the blonde (natural of course ) in me!
So, if someone could just help me to get started, it would be appreciated.
....and my boyfriend will be very happy about not having to sleep in the shed!
Thanks again,

PS. I'm not going to let him touch my phones EVER again!

Hi,
I think the first big problem is Vista. I've heard that Vista is not friendly to the ROM updating process. I may be wrong and somebody may have solved this but I would suggest that you get hold of a computer with XP in it to try to restart the updating process.
Second, can you put the phone in bootloader state? (press the two option buttons and reset hole at the same time) If so, you can flash your ROM again. I know, i know, to press the three at the same time you need a bit of help...maybe your bf can help with this...
Never again!
Thanks so much Wovens,
I've tried the reset to factory settings and pressed the 0 key, and it just says Clearing..., goes off and then nothing happens.
(I must have very long fingers because I can do it myself, and my b/f needs never come near my phone EVER again!)
I'll have to search about for someone with XP. I think that all my friends use Vista???
Do you think that finding an XP machine is my first step?
Thanks guys... I REALLY do appreciate your help you know?

Hi again,
if you only have Vista, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292631 it may help.
Again, I would do it with XP. It may be that something got partially flashed when b/f tried, so, factory settings will not work because they are not there any more. You will need to flash again. There is also, if I remember correctly, a way of flashing via SD card that bypasses the computer process. But you would need the phone fully charged or till battery light shows green as you don't have anything showing on screen right now.
Regards,
Wovens

IF there's a will there's a way...
Although i had flashed my ROM under Vista i am not going to recommend it because of the hassle of reinstalling the old driver for your exec, and the process is just a pain but it's worth it once you've done it. Try XP. But if it will not work check and read the whole wiki of Universal and am sure the answer you are looking for will be there. By the way can you go on the bootloader mode? perhaps you can try the mtty utility under 'How to upgrade your ROM' in the Universal WIKI.
Hi MissG, I recently resurrected my old Exec and had the same problem (trusting Vista Ultimate), I thought I had bricked the Exec but then read the wiki and found this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
I know you think the screen is blank but look very very closely and hopefully you will see that it is in fact showing the v. as in the screenshot, if so then follow this and praise be to Xda Developers - good luck
Cheers

OMG! You're right. I actually did read that on wiki yesterday and tried it, but couldn't see anything.
So I just gave it another go (just in case) and it is there. Incredibly faint and small I can't read what it says, but I can see that there is some writing there.
So, all is not lost then?
I've had no luck finding an XP machine yet though, so I may have to resort to partitioning my machine here (which I don't really want to do... knowing my luck recently, I'll also have to join several other forums to fix my PC!)
God bless the internet, God bless forums like these, God bless all of the people that help

A HUGE thank you to OLYMPIA786 for going above and beyond the call of duty!
I'm a very happy little girl now and my b/f doesn't have to sleep in the shed any more
It was a real pleasure.
Out of pure idle curiosity - what was the actual issue in the end?
nothing big, same old vista compatibility problem, i flashed it with XP and it gone through the very first time.
Olympia786 did my Exec as well - a stunning job!! There are times I hate Vista and this was one of them!
I have got vista ultimate on dvd but never installed on my laptop.don't want to take risk with my universal.I didn't like the vista to be very honest,too complicated and not user friendly.happy with XP.
Hello
Just installed the latest official HTC ROM - RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship - from the HTC website on my device. Upgrade went smooth as so many upgrades (with other phones) before. When it boots 'smart mobility' is shown in it's normal colour for around two seconds during which the font gets some sort of dropshadow effect (much like looking through unclean glasses) and then turns cyan. WM start screen is displayed as I describe as watercolour. Switching off screen and back on gets the normal graphic to live but still with a reoccuring 'smear effect' much like at the start. Device is very sluggish and freezes. Wifi and BT are on by default, no Phone and data reception. When connected to PC it shows ActiveSunc connected icon but 'PC says no' - Little Britain Syndrme. What do you think I should do? I can't revert back to the original ROM as I can't find it anywhere.. can't reinstall the current one as of version message.. in fact can't install any other ROM as I can't get ActiveSync going. Argh! Help! As highly as I think of HTC, this is really screwed up!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts

I'm not an expert , but def sounds like a wrong hardspl to me. I've had this happen to me twice because of my inexperience the first time and my carelessness the second. Can you redo the hspl somehow and try another maybe xda cooked rom? Or have you already tried to go back to the rom you flashed from? Thats what saved me before. Go to duttys site. He has a bunch of htc roms for D/L. Maybe you can find your old one there.

Thanks for for your thought cbreze. I'm annoyed as everything went by the book and the upgrade went fine until reboot. All I can do is to hard reset the phone at the moment. Can't get an ActiveSync connection going. Any way I can still flash to another ROM without it? Been to dutty's before and there's the same official version that causes me the problem and the Orange UK ROM.. not quite what I had in mind on o2. Can't find the 1.14 ROM which shiped with the device. Any idea where I can get hold of it? Also, I think I have seen a utility somewhere that helps to recover from a bad flash and in the absence of ActiveSync connection. Or was this just a pleasant dream?
Just have seen cRaCKwHoRe post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377 which exactly describes my issue. Will follow that trough but please let me know if you have any additional thoughts. I'm really p***** off with HTC. They could post cRaCKwHoRe's info this on their site. First time I ever got an official ROM and the last as I'm a burnt child. Usually get them from here and it's always first class stuff. Thank you people.
cRaCKwHoRe's instructions did the trick. Panic over. Thank you to everyone whom had a look at the issue and great thanks and deep bow to life saving cRaCKwHoRe. Donation is on the way as soon as I get paid.
Hello all,
I want to start off by apologizing if this has been answered somewhere else........because if it has....I simply just cannot find it. I have been looking for hours and hours because i know people don't like reposts, but alas I don't know what else to do.
My Dad brought me his HD2 about a year ago complaining that he didn't want windows mobile anymore and he had actually been trying to install android following the instructions here on xda. Well I helped him get it installed using magldr and it has been working great. The other day he dropped his phone about 8 feet and broke the screen. The phone still worked fine, just a nice crack or 2 or 3 in the middle of the screen. He had the phone replaced but now whenever he boots it just gets stuck at go go go!
I have tried task 29, but when it comes to the screen that says current phone version it is blank then the next screen it tries to update but then it fails (see attachment). So i opened the Windows mobile device center to see if it was seeing the phone and sure enough it isn't syncing and i am not sure how to get it to sync. I did read however that I could just take the phone to the bootloader (the screen with the 3 colors), make sure that it said usb at the bottom and task 29 from there, but i got the same result.
I am pretty sure the radio is a 2.15.5* version, although i dont remember for sure because i did this so long ago. I thought it showed the radio on the bootloader screen, but now that i look it does not. It is on SPL-2.08.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I am using windows 7, but i do have windows xp mode. I installed activesync in the VM but it still cannot see my phone. I went into the bootloader and connect the cable, it changed to usb so i thought i would try and run the RUU exe and see if i would have any luck, but i am getting the same result. I am guessing the phone has to be recognized by the active sync, am i right? How can i go about getting it to recognize it?
You should try to reflash it with a stock ROM from microSD and see if everything else, but usb port, is OK.
NB It seems your usb port is faulty...
