Hi guys I really need your help PLEASE,
I have only had my O2 XDA II Mini for 2 days, and I decided to upgrade the ROM early so I don't have to backup all my data before I have any (if you know what I mean).
Anyway, I went to www.seeo2.com to get the official upgrade. Clicked onto Oceania (i live in Australia), followed the instructions exactly for upgrade and downloaded the ROM upgrade. For everyones information the filename is ma_o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship.exe. Anyway, I had my device connected, had is synched up and started the upgrade process - at 11% an error appeared saying there was a RADIO ERROR and that I must restart the process.
I restarted the process, and an error came up saying ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR. And says that the ROM is not designed to be used on my device. I DOWNLOADED the Rom from the O2 website in the Australian section.
Now, my screen is stuck with SERIAL up the top and V.1.00 down the bottom when not connected to the computer, and USB up the top and V.1.00 down the bottom when plugged into the computer. The ROM upgrade continues to give me the same COUNTRY ID error.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME
Kindest Regards

I don't know If you got the help you wanted? But it seems that you crashed or it crashed your installation.
1. If you can restart you O2 on OS try this:
You will find the ROM on XDA FTP under MAGICIAN-Shipped_roms-o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship.exe
Then extract the .exe with winrar and open it.
to prevent crash again on radio installation try to delete or cut away the RADIO_.nbf. Start installation with ROMUpgradeUt.exe
When finished you probably have your rom and extrom upgraded and not your radio.
You can try this install with RADIO_.nbf again.
2. If you can't start your OS on O2 and you are stucked on Bootloader.
try install from SD card.
If you don't know how, you will find many posts on this forum how to do it.
I can explain to you step by step if you need it.
Dear all,
First of all, many congratulations for the great forum and thanks for all the support given here.
Now, I recognise that problems similar to mine have been discussed elsewhere, so I apologise for opening a new post, however with all the material that I could find, I got a little bit lost, so here is the story.
Some 5 days ago, the screen on my HTC Elf stopped responding to any sort of touch. The green, red and action buttons were working but no touch screen.
I have read several posts, and concluded that one possible problem was a corrupted ROM, so I downloaded latest Onyx ROM and installed it. Phone was upgraded successfully and screen started to work again.
However, the first time I switched it off and then turned it on again, it did not boot up. It gets to the point where it displays Smart Mobility and then switches itself off. The orange light then comes on for about 6-7 seconds, then off for 1-2 seconds, and then on again......
Now it does not seem to be able to charge, but if I switch it on with the camera button on I am able to get to the ROM screen (the 'rainbow screen'), so I have hope that it is not dead.
What can I do to attempt to revive the phone please? Is there a sort of 'format' that can be given so that one can start flashing ROM, etc. from scratch?
Many thanks.
PS: Except for the above, I consider myself as a total beginner in this area.
Hearing that the touchscreen started working again after flashing the ROM, I would conclude it's a software-issue.
In the rainbow-screen, what SPL does your phone run? If it ends with 'cmon', you've installed HardSPL. That means you can flash your phone from the rainbow-screen. Given that your phone won't boot, you should try to flash a new ROM from the rainbow-screen. But first, you have to confirm that you've installed HardSPL.
Good luck!
@mrqips - many thanks for your reply.
The screen says that:
IPL 2.20.0002
SPL 1.11.0000

Sorry Buddy.. It seems that you didn't use HardSPL, unfortunately you won't be able to flash any other ROMs..
Yet.. You might be able to use the Gold Card Method.. Give it a try and see what would happen..
Another point is.. I'm very interested to know how did you flash Onyx ROM.. without using HardSPL nor USPL (as obvious from your IPL), I would say that you used the "White Screen Method" which is by the way.. the least safest way..
Hope That Helped...
Thanks for your feedback.
Actually, I happened to be reading the post by @sbettencourt in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595856&highlight=smart+mobility
Here, a step-by-step approach is given to recover the phone:
"1º [PRJ] Unbricker ROM discovered (wildcard CID and Model ID)
2º Pick any shipped ROM from this thread:
If you have one P3450 -> here
If you have one P3452 -> here
After this, with luck and good work you recover the phone...
3º Then you must do CID_Unlock... You can search how to do it on Wiki or if you want i got one steps how to do it right here and you can see one video with cid_unlock on my signature..." (pasted from the thread)
I did Step 1, and updated it with the unbricker ROM using romupdateutility, and the phone was recovered! It could load, get to Windows Mobile, etc.
Then, unfortunately, when I did Step 2 (mine is a P3450) so I downloaded a ROM from the page indicated, I tried to update the shipped ROM using romupdateutility, but as soon as it got to 2% it failed saying that the vender ID is invalid.
Now, I don't seem to be able to update it with anything - not even the unbrick ROM. What a shame I almost go there.....

You put the shipped ROM in the same folder with RUU??? Why??? You don't need to do that...
You only need to double click on shipped ROM and the installation process begins...
@sbettencourt,
actually yes what I did was to click on the update directly.
I downloaded the file RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1R_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_RED_Ship_Reduced.exe and executed that directly.
However, now, even this one is stopping at 2%.
Is there any hope, or have I destroyed the phone?
Thanks.
If you can't flash the Shipped ROM, you have now to try the Gold Card... Follow the steps in that Gold Card thread...
Hello everyone,
I finally managed to revive the device, by flashing it with a 'correct' shipped ROM, which did not give any errors on updating. Big thanks for all your support - you are the best!
As this starts to get addictive, and because I am now running a ROM version which dates to 12/11/2007 (2.27.468.1B WWE), what are the suggestions for upgrading the ROM please? My device is an ELF0100.
Thanks again.
Coool Now try to keep him alive
Very true
I managed to flash it with Onyx Ultimate 4.8 (10/07/2009) and it seems to be performing splendidly.
Thanks for all your help.
Good Job
My problem here is that I just cannot get out of bootloader. NO ROM OR RADIO WILL INSTALL ON MY DEVICE.
I've tried using goldcard and attempting numerous .nbh files and each time the update fails on the Radio_V2 part. I've also tried updating with the standard and custom RUUs and these always fail at 91%. the RUU always says 'Error 270....update error...the image file is corrupted' no matter which ROM I use.
Updating the radio only stalls at 96% and gets stuck there.
Currently my bootloader says 'Update ROM code error Please try again. See the attached photo for a screenshot. I am able to connect to a pc ok and run updates.
Ive also tried a hard reset, which WORKS but still doesn't boot up the device.
Can anyone help here? If not it looks like my HD2 is going on eBay for spares!
My SPL is version 1.42
Why is yours 0.67????
I've no idea bro, it's an eBay purchase from before the general release of the device.
I hear the hacked hardspl and sspl is nearly done so maybe this will help you to upgrade the rom?
Have you checked you have not brought some prototype or something as your spl version is way out.
Hope you get it fixed very soon.
How can it show the "SECURITY UNLOCKED" while there is no cid unlock for this device?
How did you do it?
There is something wrong with you..
And an interesting point: your bootloader is different from mine, my updare process shows % progress in number and HTC logo behind the progress bar, yours is different..

i think he as used some hd stuff,not compatible with leo of course
maybe because it's a pre-release (prototype) unit you can't update it to a newer rom
it does sound like a prototype...
shouldnt need gold card.
have you tried flashing from sdcard without gold card in there?
try talking nicely to cmonex to see if she can help?

This looks like corrupted sectors in your device, try mtty, I think i seen similar problem before in herm or diamond
please searh the forum this one of them but try to find later version of mtty

try flashing without NK.nbf
Try flashing without the radio upgrade by removing the file mentioned in
the title (nk.nbf) from the folder where RUU.exe is exectuted (you might need to hunt fot the install files in the temporrary directories in your computer. The temp files are created after clicking the update.
Anyway, you're a senior You'll know what to so.
If there's no separate radio file for you, I would try taking the batt out,
then do a hard reset.
Peculiar !
Info
Try to flash using an official rom!! If You stil don't get through take off the battery for a couple hours then try again!! But If all this don't help, you'd better try to reflash with the rom you had previously
You used a MFG SPL = Developer SPL. Ask cmonex in the IRC for help. She works with the developer spl for hacking the spl.
good luck
Connect your phone to the PC using MTTY.
Send "set 14 0" (without quotes) and then task 8 to reboot.
Try if it works.

hey. can you send me a PM, I'm very interested in your device
Don't use it for spareparts..
I'm assuming you bought the phone?... Send it for repairs, they don't ask what you did. Just say you did a hard reset and this happend.. Believe me, they don't care at the repair shop (for sure @ eurotwice.be), great service they pickit up @ your door If you lost the receipt p.m. me
UPDATE
ok i didnt run MTTY through properly... after running task 29 this is the error I get....
ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS????
The same problem exists in the link below
yes bro, please check this post

Boot screen....
OH MY.....
Just fired up the HD2 to try out some MTTY commands and the boot screen has fired up. This is the first time it's not gone straight to bootloader.
I will await the device possibly kicking into life......fingers crossed.

First step. Finding what phone type you have, i.e. Herald, Wing, Dopod..etc.
Second step. Find the Original ROM that came with your phone. Do this by going to your manufacturer's site and downloading it with your IMEI number.
Third step is to Flash the Original ROM to device.
Fourth step. Download the HardSPL folder and run the three cab files in that folder and then run the romupdateutility.
Fifth Step. To flash a custom ROM replace the canonyang.nbh image file with the custom .nbh ROM image.
Sixth Step. Run the ROMUpdateUtility again with the new .nbh file.
One other thing.. Don't blame cooks for your inability to flash ROM's..
looked at the tmobile website and the htc website for the orginal rom (for the hearld/wing) that came with my phone which is the wing couldnt find it at eather sites. i know how to flash rom i am not retarted. i am taking a guess that it is better to go back to the orginal rom b4 flashing to another rom.
Yes, you are correct.
I've downloaded the tmobile ROM image for you:

thats right ..cooks are doing a vrey good job over here.. shouldn't blame them ..i too had a similar issue where it would just reboot and go no further ..i used a card reader to put trib's ROM inside and flashed it through SD..everythn's working great ..

Thank you for your validation and support ^>^
thanks buddy i really couldnt find it any where. works great for a min. it will not load up with out my sd card out after loadin and going through the boot up process i put my sd card back in and after a hour or so it will start doing the same thing reboot. i am just going to stay with the orginal rom then i know that my phone will work everytime and not reboot. unless u got a rom that is better then super kitchen version 4.1.13.61 because that rom must not like my phone. i really like the super kitchen rom cant find andthing like it. just need something with some ram and speed
Try using any of my ROMs, but before you do make sure you HardSPL.
I'm going to move this to General since it has nothing to do with the development of roms.
Hello everyone!
First off I'd like to start by telling you I'm new here and I don't know much about rooting so I'm reffering to you for help... Here is what happened... I have a G2 Hero, running android 2.1. So one day I decided to root it and install a custom rom. I downloaded Universal Androot-1.6.2-beta5 and ran it on my mobile.
Afterwards I formatted my sd card then restarted the device and downloaded rom manager from the market and flashed Clockwork. After this I put CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 in the root dir of my sd card, tried to install it from [HOME] + [PWR] buttons menu and an error saying [status 7] showed up... Now im stuck in an endless bootloop... I cannot sync the device with my computer, cannot hard reset.. I can access Hboot menu but there isnt anything I can do...
What should I do to restore it to stock and then try the whole thing again but with a new rom? Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Have you tried running an official HTC RUU? They can be found in a thread on the development page
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
you have to search for "RUU for htc hero gsm". There's an official website for that. Download RUU (about 80-90mbytes as i remember) and start it. As i remember you should power your phone in HBOOT mode (VOL DOWN + POWER), connct to PC and run RUU and follow the wizard.
It will flash stock 1.5 android.
After reeboot it should inform you that there's an update, but if you want to flash different recovery, you shouldn't update your phone.
Then you should follow "How To - Root Your HTC Hero in One Click" (can't post links yet).
Ok first of all thank you guys for the help! So I downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver.exe from the main thread. At first I had some connection problems but then I switched the front panel USB to one of the rear which are 2.0 and continued. Now I'm stuck at a later step. Tried to update it but an error message saying "ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR Please get the correct ROM UPDATE UTILITY and try again" displays. Which RUU would you recommend?
I used official RUU from htc.com site. It just worked for me.
This one is in Polish, but i believe, you will find one in your language or in English
http://www.htc.com/pl/supportdownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=671
//edit
You must provide a valid serial number from sticker behind the battery and select a corresponding file. It will be only one i think
//edit2
There's something more about this error 131:
http://androidforums.com/707610-post16.html
Apparently you just used wrong RUU... Try one from prev link.
Ok, soI downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver from the official HTC website and go past last error but afterwards I encounter another one. This time it is "ERROR[140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR, Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again"
Any suggestions this time?

You could try the carrier one if you got it from Orange flash the ruu which is for Orange uk
Nope, my phone is from Europe but I dont think I got my cd... I'll sure search for it. Any other suggestions?
Maybe you can find a workaround there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684504
I am currently trying with this one:RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver. But it seems to be stuck on "Sending.....Updating the ROM image on your Android phone" The progress bar on the phone's display is almost complete but wont move anymore. I have waited for 20 minutes now...
EDIT: I finally fixed it! I didn't realise I had to have the same RUU version like my software version. Thought I had to downgrade. Nevermind it's all OK now and it's time to try the whole rooting and custom ROM process again
I want to thank all of you guys that helped me!
Good for you man
Just out of pure couriosity, what rom will U use afrer your phone get rooted?
You have to use your carrier related stock rom/exe. What is your carrier?
