I have a quick question regarding my MDA Vario II. I've downloaded the recently discovered (so I am led to believe!) official WM6 TMobile UK Rom and wish to upgrade my device. The thing is, when I confirm the ROM update, it seems to turn my Vario II screen off, ActiveSync loses its connection and the installer gives me a [260] Connection error.
ERROR [260] : CONNECTION
This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.
Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.
I've reset the device and the computer over and over; I've even tried the process on a second machine but I still get these same symptoms.
How can I get my MDA Vario II to successfully take the ROM update?
Thanks in advance
Hi i had the same problem with the t-mobile update and the way i installed it was to manually enter the bootloader so you get the tri coloured screen, then right click on the rom install exe and click extract to RUU_Hermes_TMO_UK_3.60.110.2_6275_1.50.00.00_108_Test(or whatever the name of the rom is that you want to install), you will need winrar installed to do that, not sure if winzip supports this feature too as i have always used winrar.
Any way once this is extracted you can double click on the folder and then right click on the ruuinside.exe and click extract to ruu_inside. Once this is done double click the ru_inside folder and double click on the ROMUpdateUtility and click that you have done everything it says you have to do (even though you havent got an active sync connection etc) and if it goes well, Like mine did it will install
Let me know if it did , good luck
P.S. I am using vista and if i do it this way i can install all the roms
off topic but do you look like jolie or do you wish you did

Thank you for this but I'm a little worried about doing all this as I've never flashed before, (although I'm experiened with technology). Out of curiosity, how can I manually enter the bootloader?
Edit: Never mind; Side OK, Power and Soft Reset
It's going over now I hope it works
This will ERASE the whole phone so make sure you have performed a sync before doing this. Press the left top button and the right top button and the camera button all together and reset the device using the stylus. You need long fingers to accomplish it lol. Just hold all the buttons in till you see the tri colour screen. If you dont see the tri colour screen and just see the normal boot screen then try again, you need to have them all pressed at the same time when you reset. Its fiddly to do on your own or you get someone else to press the stylus in while you press the buttons in.
Also you dont need to press the buttons at the exact time you reset. You can just press the buttons in any order just as long as they are all pressed when you reset, hope that is clear enough. Also if it is a t-mobile device then it will update no problem , if it is another providers rom that is on there it wont even try to update and you will get a device id error

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.

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
Hi: This is my first posting and I am new on this board. I have had an MDA that I got as a gift from my Dad and I love it. However, I used it last week and for some unkown reason, it is stuck in the:
'Press Send to Restore Factory Defaults, Other Key to Quit.'
I have been trying to get past this for 4 days and am not having any luck.
I got to the Align Screen and that happened only once. Then I could not get past that. It keep showing the Align Screen and I kept tapping and it just kept going round and round from the Center Tap to the sides and back.
My battery is fully charged, I have read this forum and still I am lost. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you so much.

Thank you for trying to help me. However, I have done both of the resets over and over and I keep getting the same result. 'Press send to restore factory defaults, other key to quit.'
I can get no further than that display regardless of what key or keys that I hit.
I have even tried the two ways of doing a Hard Reset:
1. Hold Com and Voice while pressing Soft Reset Button for 5 or more seconds until I get that display.
2. Hold Com, Voice and Camera while pressing Soft Reset Button for 5 or more seconds until I get that display.
I cannot get past that display regardless of what key or keys I press.
It seems frozen at that display point.
Tried again this am to hard reset my MDA. Now it goes and shows the T-Mobile screen with the IPL/SPL etc. Then goes into Windows and to the Align Screen and for some reason will not recognize the Screen Tapping to align the screen.
I did try to use my PC to recognize the MDA, but it would not. Downloaded WST and that would not recognize my MDA either. I understand that until I get past the Hard Rest my MDA will not be recognized by my PC due to ActiveSync being requried to connect my MDA to the PC. I don't know what else I can try. Search all day yesterday and could not find any solutions. Will continue today. Any suggestions, Please. Thank you.

Use the love rom to set phone back to "zero". Therefore you must press press the voice and camera buttons if joy reset youre phone.
You get some collored bloks om youre phone and then you can use the love rom.
After that you can use youre original rom updater

Did a search for Love Rom and Wizard_Love ROM and only came up with 103 results consisting of some Threads with 1570, 898, 618,787, 893, 464........postings on the first page for Threads 1-25.
Now I do have a Red, Green, Blue, White Screen with RUU in the top right corner of the Red Bar with IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26 in the Red Bar. Nothing is in the Green, Blue or White bar.
I tried to Hard Reset and Soft Rest and nothing happens. I removed my Battery and then tried again and still nothing happens?
Where can I find Wizard_Love ROM and what do I do when I find it. My PC will not recognize my MDA and I used WST and that cannot located my MDA.
I am at a complete loss of what to do next.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to try to help me get my phone operational.

Use the love rom to set phone back to "zero".
do not confuse guys with this statement.Wizard_love_Rom is a patched rom which is flashed to recover back the phone in some stuck up phones,but it doesn't set the phone back to 'ZERO',but its an italian language rom.
Tonis
The multicolor screen is the bootloaders with IPL/SPL 2.26 displayed,this is the mode from where you can flash another rom.There's no need to get the phone activesync,cuz it won't activesync in bootloaders.But when in bootloaders,connect the phone with pc via usb cable and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloaders,if its there then you are good to go and can flash a rom.
Now,download the official T-mobile 2.26 from the link below and get the phone in bootloaders,check usb appear at the bottom and flash it to recover back to the default status of the phone.

Thank you again for your help. Prior to this posting I found:
epimazzo Posting at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107&highlight=bootloader #1 and this is what cleared up my problem and now my MDA is running GREAT!!!!!!!!
This was the same thing that you posted for me, too.
Maybe some of you are already aware of this procedure, maybe not.
Anyway, it worked for me and I decided to share how to do it. Simple.
This procedure should only be used in case you really need enter into a bootloader mode (Red, Green, Blue, White Screen) and all other ways to do it has failed! Hold Camera button is one of these I am mentioning.
1. Make sure your Phone is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummy card or SD/MMC card
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. Reconnect your Phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Don’t use the IrDA or Bluetooth for the Upgrade)
4. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.
So, Thank you all for your time and help. I do hope this helps others to find a way to correct their problems.
Thanks !
Yes.thats exactly what I wanted you to do
I'm glad you got it up and running fine
Cheers!

Hi!
I got an mada vario 4. How can I upgrade the rom on it? Or can I change the t-mobile touch flo to manila 2.5? Thx! Zoli
Hi everyone,
I recently received an XDA Orbit 2, literally, charged it for 2 hours, and when it was full charged, I started using it, I had it for about 2 months now, and recently I changed my home Internet connection to wireless (It's a B & G connection) so my laptop connects fine, and when I tried to connect my XDA Orbit 2, it connected and then soft-reset itself, and now it just loads the O2 screen, then Windows Mobile screen with the volume controller and I can't do anything else so here's what I have tried so far:
- Soft reset
- Removed battery and SIM
- Since I can't access phone's menu at all, I tried to Hard Reset method by holding the 2 soft key, reset, and the power button - So I get the warning that everything will be lost and to press 'Send' to continue, so I press the green key, and soft resets and goes back to the same situation again.
- The latest thing I tried is to load the Hard-SPL into the SDCard which has been formatted to FAT32, so loaded the POLAIMG.nbh into the root. and loaded the phone into BootLoader mode (Camera and reset buttons). It loads the memory card and just says 'Loading ... ' I left it for about an hour, until the battery died completely (I'm sure it's not supposed to take that long). And still the same problem.
I'm not sure if this phone is now bricked, can anyone help me plesae. I really need this to start working again, I don't have any info. on it. (Everything was sync. previously).
Kind regards,
Since you havent really messed with SPL, i would say to take it back, since its still into warranty.
Thanks for the reply, I'm not actually in the UK and will be overseas for a while. I don't really mind experimenting so I would appreciate any advise on this matter. Thanks again.

If yes you culd try searching out a thread on MTTY and recovery from boot loader but I dont know how well that would work on polaris as I have not tried it yet.

Thanks for the reply, I heard about the MTTY process, but I've no clue on how to do it, since the phone can't connect in ActiveSync mode. Is there a thread or WiKi guide out there?

continue pressing the GPS/
MESSAGING and INTERNET
EXPLORER buttons until you
see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform
the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Good luck.
Hi,
I'm using an HTC TC POLARIS100. Today I upgraded my ROM and SPL successfuly. If you're still in trouble and believe the same process will help, I will let you know the process followed.

Hi,
I've been reading through these forums and am getting very lost as to what to do.
I have the Orange SPV M3100 and it won't boot into windows. On switching it on, it does the orange bit: at the bottom - "m05 s04 b06 d1.23" and 'No GSM' flashes up briefly before the freeze on 'Windows Mobile' loading screen.
On pressing 'Ok' and power button together with a soft reset, I get to the tri-colour screen and it says "HERM100", "IPL-1.01", "HERM100", "SPL-1.04", and either "USB" or "Serial" depending on whether or not it's USB'd to a PC port.
I've tried the master reset - top two buttons and a soft reset, followed by 'R' to confirm a full reset. It immediately said 'done' or something to that effect, but still freezes on 'Windows Mobile'.
All the help threads here seem to indicate that I need to have this phone running with Active Sync on the PC to transfer files to it in order to refresh the ROM but Windows [XP] can't see the phone because it's not finished booting.
Please please please can someone give me a nudge in the right direction?
Many thanks
Dave
as you said ok and power together with soft reset action brings you tri colour screen. At that stage you plug in to active sync (4.5) and ensure you have .net framework installed on your PC.
with the tricolour screen, plug PC to phone and run the exe file from one of these ship ROM http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
you should then be able to get an OS back to your phone. Then get this one on to your phone

after that you can flash what ever rom you like make sure you follow the dr's suggestions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1990320&postcount=6

If so, is there a way retrieve them before reinstalling OS?
Thank you.

Well if your phone is semi dead, you can't really retrieve any data other than the ones on the SD card.

What is "semi dead"?
In my case it frozen at windows mobile screen, before it gets the animated "busy" square at the center...any hope?

Well if you can't soft reset successfully then it is semi dead, you have to re flash

as you said ok and power together with soft reset action brings you tri colour screen. At that stage you plug in to active sync (4.5) and ensure you have .net framework installed on your PC.
with the tricolour screen, plug PC to phone and run the exe file from one of these ship ROM http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
you should then be able to get an OS back to your phone. Then get this one on to your phone

Hi there, well, I'm back after months of forgetting about this but still hoping to get it to work. Thanks for the above reply, but that method of putting software on still relies on getting activesync to communicate with the mobile phone via the usb cable - my phone doesn't. windows sees that I've connected a usb device but active sync gives up trying to talk to it... any further ideas greatly appreciated...
Best regards
Dave

Try hard resetting your device, and make sure that you hit the "No Yes Yes" options correctly. It seems that you may have an unclean hive. Hope this helps...

You were doing the Hard Reset when you press Power + Soft Reset.
The YES, NO, NO, thing is:

After flashing and soft-resetting, you have to hold power + record +WMP button on the side of the unit and you will be prompted with three options to which you must put "No Yes Yes" (do this by using the side buttons record and WMP). Once you have set these two options, press the "Mail" button. At this point the screen will turn white for a few minutes and the system will reset itself, at which point it will prompt you through the whole setup (you know, set the date, Time zone, blah, blah, blah).

Make sure you do the power + record +WMP as soon as you see the first bootloader screen, but, before you see the R G D HTC BLUE ANGEL text at the bottom right of the bootloader. That is the trick of it. Trust me, I tried way too many times untill I got it. Requires a little coordination, have 2 fingers ready on the Record and WMP buttons, Press the Reset, Quickly place finger on power button, as soon as you see first bootloader screen, press all 3 buttons!!!!! and you'll make it. LOL I can feel the emotion and frustration.
Good Luck if you decide to come back to WM6.1
