Instructions for rom Upgrade...

Hey...
Having problem with no sound during call on my XDA2i. I have full system sounds, WMP is working, tones are working and key tones are fine. but when the phone rings and I answer there is no audio and the 2nd party can't hear either. Also the speakerphone doesn't activate, but sound works FINE through wired headset and Bluetooth. I've tried the audio jack, with raking it with the 2.5 mm jack to no avail
I want to try to upgrade my ROM as I have found this worked for someone who suffered from NO sound at all on their device. I downloaded Deathnoise 1.11.171 ROM but want to know HOW to perform the operation.
1) do I need a PC application to 'flash' or install this rom?>
2) can i use USB or do I need serial cable>?
If anyone could just give me a quick list of what I need to do this i'd greatly appreciate it, i just have zero experience with ROM flashing and upgrading.
THank you in advance..

hi bane, i recently flashed my friend's xda2i. this is what i did.
1.) put the xda2i device in its cradle to sychronize in windows desktop pc
2.) run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, follow the window prompts
3.) you will notice that your xda2i will switch to bootloader mode and the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe will stop and give you error message.
4.) re-run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again, this time your device flashing will be successful.
please note that do not attempt to flash your device using windows vista.

I see, thank you for the info. so when the device is flashed, im guessing its a hollow shell ready to install the new rom...how does that work? i've unzipped the deathfire rom pack, but see no cab file. does the rom install from an exe on the pc?
thanks again

Hey, just incase anyone is reading this thread....The rom upgrade worked fine... but it didn't resolve any problems regarding the no sound in call.
HOWEVER, to support the only real info i've found in the forum about this problem, the sound problem rectified itself.... however, it's only been one day. i am not sure how long it shall last, as the last time I took the XDA apart and put my friends 'phone' circuit board in which suffered the same problem weeks prior and it WORKED, but only for two days.
I'll keep you posted ...

hi, I've been having the same problem, but only when it is on charge. put the phone on charge, try to use it and nothing through the phone, only wired and bluetooth headsets work. disconnect from power, same problem on first try, then after that all ok.
Just wondering if it is an issue with the power or power block.
Just found out it's likely to be the connections on the plug. See this thread I found on the subject, http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-245857.html, and this one for the connections. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=Connectors.
I cut both loop wires that go from pin 2, to pins 5 & 18 (on mine, the only two that looped back) and everything worked fine after that.

No sound - for no reason

Hi,
I thought I am the lucky one not having any problems with the speakers on my shift - big mistake :-((. Yesterday all was working, hibernated my shift, and this morning was no sound anymore when I have fired it up. Why ???
I have read the earlier threads about similar problems, so I have tried disabling/enabling the Realtek driver, even reinstalling it - no joy... There is nothing coming out in WM and also nothing via the phone output. Restart doesn't help ( did at least 4 times ). Soft Resetted Snapview, tried to boot to Linux from memory stick - no sound there neither !
I have SP1 and the latest HTC drivers installed, and I had never a problem with this before.
Is there a remedy for this, please, anyone ??

Sound comes from snapvue. Try hardreseting it.

Thaihugo, you are the man, Thanks a ton ! After hard reset I have sound again on WM and Vista. Now I can start "reliberating" again ).

Why not trying my already liberated ROM+GPS?

Mic not working on phone, but does work on other functions

Hello - I've been searching these forums and the wiki and Google too looking for a solution to this but so far, can't find a solution so hope members here can help:
I recently got another XDA Exec and a week ago, the phone mic stopped working. I know its not a hardware problem as the phone can record my voice for notes.
I've done a few hard resets and each time, nothing changes, so am truly baffled.
I'd be very grateful for any answers to this, and apologise in advance if I have missed an answer that has already been posted - I have tried searching, honest!
Cheers,
JB

Try another ROM...perhaps?

I could do, but before I attempt anything like that - something I've not done before - I wanted to figure out how to remedy it with the existing ROM, which is the O2 one installed without all of O2's own stuff.
It was working perfectly well with this ROM before....in fact the only thing I can think of that might somehow have caused this was me pairing the XDA with a bluetooth handsfree set the same day. It might just be coincidence, it might not - I can't tell.
I suppose what I'm hoping for is some guidance re any settings on the device that I don't know about that have caused this, or the necessary registry edit to remedy the problem. Its odd that the phone mic worked before then stopped working, despite hard resets with the same ROM. Forgive my naivety, but I thought ordinary user-level tweaks didn't affect the core settings of the ROM....or am I wrong?
Cheers,
JB
PS - Lower Hutt! I remember seeing it through the mist one day after catching the ferry from the South Island before heading off to Cuba Street for a boozy afternoon...

Yup, got exactly the same problem before buying my HD.
I thinked that my micro was dead and didn't try to fix it before.
Just now i got here to search another rom to test and i saw this thread highlighted
The rom on my universal is TOMAL 8.0 or more i don't exactly remember the version, what's yours ?
I will download another version to check if the micro will be alright and give some feedback

Could be a range of reasons, from some program install or addition to the software set to files going missing. Trying a new ROM or reflashing with the original (but believe me, once you try new WM6.1 You'll probably never go back) might be one of the solutions. Flashing of ROM is a piece of cake, however, I recommend reading as much as possible on the procedure and ways to remedy the unexpected situations before you begin. Everything you may possibly need and answers to all your questions is contained in a Wiki - have a look and ask questions if you cannot find answers and are completely stuck.
Heh, Lower Hutt is on the opposite side of the harbour, coming from SI.

I reflashed with TOMAL 8.9 and micro works very well now
i readed too fast yesterday and didn't see that you're using the original rom, like enigma1nz suggest you, i suggest you too to try a 6.1 rom, it's really great and improve a lot the speed/touch felling/etc for the universal.
Plus it's really easy to flash a rom, it's not necessery to read a lot of documentation,
you just need to connect your universal to pc with activesync (4.5)
and launch the exe file from the rom

[Q] hp ipaq 614c - need help/advice

Okay - so I'm a very sad man today. My 614c was working perfectly Saturday while I was on a road trip. I got home that evening and it showed no signal. It will simply no longer connect to AT&T.
I've tried soft booting it, I've tried shutting down and cold booting. I've removed the battery for a while then restarted. I've restored the device to factory settings. I've flashed it with the new 6.5 image (which is sweet, btw).
Nothing has helped
I had the standard, updated HP image before I started having trouble - so I haven't been playing with the ROMs, etc until now.
Every function seems to be fine except I can't use it to make a phone call - which, unfortunately, is a pretty significant element for a phone.
So - I'm wondering where from here. I'm no phone expert, so I don't know what else I can try.
Anyone know what's wrong and why it would just fail like this (nothing happened to it, it was just sitting in its holder while I drove)?
If there's nothing I can do....is there someplace I can have it fixed?
I called HP and they said "It's out of warranty and we no longer work on them. Sorry." I was pretty mad about that. This was a pretty expensive device and I expected to use it for more than 16 months.
If someone can help, I can't tell you how much I'd appreciate it.

You could try to flash radio firmware v0.89 and tell us after that if something has changed

Thanks for your suggestion. I was already at 89 - but I did do the flash anyhow. It has not made any difference...still no connection.

you can try to use dnw to flash rom (see 6xx,9xx stuck bootloader thread)

have you fix that error?

No - still facing the issue. Just can never connect to a tower, so no phone service. I need to find some way to fix the radio software, but using an sd card and flashing it has not worked.
Any help would be appreciated.

PC Connection doesn't work! please read on, i'm not a noob!

Hi guys i have really bad problem there is NO WAY to connect my HD2 to PC in windows mobile. I have 5 years experience in WM and have been using my phones to sync until NOW-it simply wont work anymore.
I tried switching computers, always shows just charge, not Mass Storage or ActiveStink, the pop-up doesn't show, only charger is showed in taskbar.
I tried flashing stock ROM&radio (1.66), switching extra 2 computers and all ports on theirs an mine,
I tried going to Android and start pc connection and it WORKED, flashing (obviously) also works. only in (any) wm rom apparently doesnt. what the hell?!?
Soo, has anyone else seen this? please help i cannot even get complete schedule for next week to sync on my phone and i need it..
please, any help really appreciated!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801018

you don't seem to get my point i have w7 and device cente and sync WORKED all the time. also USB works on android! and i can flash!
today it stopped working inside WM so i tried 4 different computers and stock rom and all their ports but phone still registers PC as charger an i don't see a popupp to select connection, it only charges. checked everything 1000 times and flash wipes everything off the phone so it should work fresh but it doesn't....
i'm guessing some kind of HW problem, but how can connection be sucsessful in android if that+s the case?!?!
i need some real help here...

okay i self bump myself as noone seems to take me seriously...
Today afrer recieving a call it put me on speaker right after the call started without even touching the screen! I also noticed that Navipanel opens itself randomly! that got me thinking....
...could it be that HD2 is recgnizing that it's being on Dock without being in? How's that done(hw switch or only software)? Is there a solution for that?
please guys.... and thanks bigtime for any additional info

dirty / faulty usb socket. give it a scrub with a dry toothbrush. read the threads "stuck in car kit mode".
not sure why it should work in android, but your symptoms (charge only, and calls go straight to speaker) are both seen by everyone with this problem.

thank you will do that!
i thought that android isn't coded to support car kit so it can bypass the "flaw" if it doesn't know what's the signal for
thx a bunch!
UPDATE:
Solved problem with scrubing on usb port with toothbrush to clean the dust away, but it still didn't work right away so i had to MOVE CONNECTED usb cable to all directions pretty hard. it started working while pushing on RIGHT. thanks to samsamuel!
