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.

Thank u Simba
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 Friends,
My new mobile phone SPV M600 got stuck whil starting showing four lines of messages as shown below.
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.1.22
Can any one please help me in geting my phone to today's screen.
I also attached the screen shot for reference.
did you try a hard reset ?
Ya I tried both hard as well as soft reset but same screen is stuck again and agian.Can any one please help me in this regard as I am very new to PDA family.
Ok, first things first:
Since you are new to this, are you sure you preformed a hard reset?
It is done by holding power + camera + comm manager buttons (one on the right, two on the left) and pressing with stylus in the reset hole at the same time.
A message should appear asking you to press 'send' (green phone button) to confirm reset.
If this does not help, you may have a serious problem.
Please answer the following:
Is the device fully charged?
Phone will fail to boot if the battery is too low.
Did you install any software right before this happened?
This should have been resolved by hard reset, but just in case I am asking.
Did you change the ROM, attempted CID / SIM unlock?
This could require more serious measures than I can advise on.
I did exactly the same thing which you mentioned.But even then it is stuck at the same screen.
Ya u r right I unlocked my mobile using a software from eBay.The unlock was successfull and I tried to insert T-Mobile sim, it also captured the signal and I was able to make and recieve calls then after that I wantedly switched off the phone and then tried to start it, there got the problem.
Can any one help me in this regard please.
I am having the same problem, but my phone is not sim-locked.
I've got the same problem after attempting smart1_wm6_pp8mb.exe
I'm having the same problem with my G4 QTEK S200:
Attempted to upgrade to WM6 Rom using smart1_wm6_pp8mb.exe
After reboot the phone got stuck at the QTEK Screen
Tried Hard Reset (Camera+Power+Comm+Reset) followed the steps with the same results (bricked)
I also tried re-flashing the rom back to the factory one using RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship and ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.exe in Windows Vista with WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center v. 6.0.6873) and the phone in boot loader mode (tri color screen) with working USB cable, with windows firewall disabled and symantec AV disabled as well, RUU keeps saying error 260 "the update utilitiy cannot connect to your pda phone..." .
Do you think I should try this process using XP instead? No matter what i try i keep getting the error 260
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Got it fixed!
it was definately a Vista issue. once i tried it in XP with ActiveSync it worked like a charm and i got my phone back up and running. also used spb backup and restored all my settings.
ipl/spl screen
i got the same problem with new rom wm6, and the 260 eror, my problem is that i have xp and the activesync does`t connect ...
... means i cant redo the original rom ????
PLEAAASEEE HELPPPP !!
Again My phone SPV M600 got stuck at IPL/SPL screen
Please Can some one advice me how to get my phone back.
I raised the same issue 7 months back after that my phone got recovered automatically and there were no issues till last month. Last month onwards it is again got the same problem and now it is permenantly stuck at that screen what ever you do.

Hi Iam able to update the Rom but no use
Hi,
To mention my phone is from orange-UK. I got the orange rom from our FTP site and did the flashing/update what ever you say.But still it is getting stuck at the same IPL/SPL screen. Iam very much worried that I will not get a proper solution for my problem.It will be very grate full if some one resolve my problem.
just seems strange...how did you fix it last time? did it just start working again? A random guess would be that the camera button got liquid spilled on it or is stuck in.
If the camera button is pressed in the phone will go to 3 colour screen every time it is turned on.
It won't do any harm if you try to press/move that button to see if u can "unstick" it, not likely I think but u never know...

Thank you
If is FIXEDDDDDDDDDD
Ok
I got it fixed, very simple solution
found it here
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/hp-h...dowloaded-rom-update-ipaq-dead-need-help.html
Solution:
this is what I did to get this fixed.
1) Get the battery out of the iPaq, and wait for a few minutes while the "serial" image fades away slowly.
2) In the meantime, prepare your cradle, plugged into the AC charger and plugged via USB to your PC.
3) After a few minutes, with the screen of the iPaq completely gray, put the battery and battery cap back on (with our without SIM card), and put it on the cradle immediately.
4) The iPaq should start coming back to life, as if it were being hard reset. Let is stay on the welcome screen (i.e., do not tap it or anything).
5) Restart the upgrade process, it should proceed from there OK
Thank you to origianl solution provider

There is another update at HP website, which is software update. After installing that everything working fine.

Manage to solve the problem ...thanks WIKI !!
Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus
Then Flash to any ROM you want !!
Thanks .... But
Thanks for the reply ... but i have no idea how to do what you tell me, I am new to all this phone "stuff" as a matter of fact this is the first time that i am ever using one of these forums. I have read till i am cross eyed but dont actually understand what you are talking about ... now don't let that scare you away as i am willing to learn and i am not braindead ... you all had to start sometime in this, not so. I get that i need to try and reflash my rom...
so is there some type of rom update software that i need? ... what is a hard SPL?? ... and who is Schaps?? .. sorry guys to do this to you but i would like to get into this game and i need some ( well maybe a lot ) of pointers.
Thanks for your time.
1. Search for "mr vanxs guide" so you have an idea on what you're doing.
2. OK, as Asfarizal said "Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus". If you cant work out what the buttons are, go to the manual. it will tell you.
3. type in "hard SPL" in search on the forum & download the .zip or .rar file. this should have 2 files inside when opened,
a). RUUWrapper.exe and
b). RUU_signed.nbh
sync Hermes and double click .exe file. follow prompts.
4. find a rom that you want (would suggest TNT SE as a fairly good rom for noobs... good and stable, no problems...) Again download, then (and this is personel preference) format an sd card fat 32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh into root directory. Rename it Hermimg.nbh. Put into Phone and put into bootloader(make sure the battery is more than 50%) follow prompts. This should get you out of trouble. You can also sync your Phone and double click on the RUUWrapper.exe HOWEVER, if you should reset your computer, pull out the usb cable or have anything else happen to the computer that interrupts the flashm, you could end up with a worse brick than you have now. try to read up on flashing (search for "mr vanxs guide") and this should help you a lot if you have other questions. Good luck and happy flashing......
Thank You
I will follow the instructions you gave and try to get it going this weekend.
Thank you so much for your time

Looks like you've got a lot of reading to do, and a problem to sort out. Firstly a couple of answers...
Schaps is a Rom Cooking guru (makes custom versions of WM5, WM6 etc). When you get your phone sorted out I'd recommend trying one of his roms.
Hard SPL. The SPL is part of the bootloader which effectively dictates how a rom is flashed and what roms can be flashed. HardSPL is a custom version of this which allows you to flash any rom from any carrier. It also protects against a bad flash in many cases. It is recommended before you try flashing any new roms or radio roms. Use Hard-SPL-V7 at the bottom of the first post here.
The Rom upgrading software is contained in any of the cooked or carrier supplied roms. It is normally a .zip file which cotains 2 files: xxxxxRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh. You run the .exe file from your PC when connected to your phone via USB. More details of how to do this are in MrVanx's guides. Also other resources here.
Now to try to sort your phone out...
What is displayed on your screen when in bootloader mode? It should be something like this:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro (This is HardSPL V7)
If you don't have an Olipro SPL then you need to get HardSPL onto your phone. If you haven't done any upgrading and have had the phone from new then I guess you don't have hardSPL.
Now you need to fix your USB Malfunctioning problem. I can't help too much here except to suggest trying a different cable, different USB port or different PC. Also, if you are running Vista try an XP maxhine. When you connect to the PC does your phone show Serial or USB on the screen? If you can't get a USB connection, all is not lost - you can re-flash your rom using an SD card, method here.
There is a thread about un-bricking phones which may help.
There are various diagnostic tools (which can also screw your phone if used incorrectly). The favourite of these is MTTY but you need a USB connection to use this.
If your phone is in warranty I'd recommend getting your supplier to sort it out, but if not I'd try to re-flash an ORIGINAL supplier rom (Cingular I guess). You can get links to the official supplier roms here.
I think (might be wrong) that sometimes when stuck in bootloader you need to flash an official rom, not a cooked one to recover your phone - then you can run HardSPL and then flash cooked roms again.
Cingular 8525 stuck in bootloader
Thanks for the reply ... lots of great input.
Now to answer some of your questions.
1) When I power up the phone (only pushing the power button ) it goes straight into the bootloader screen without pushing any other buttons, and it displays
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
Then at the bottom in the white bar it says "Serial"
The only way that i have found to power it down again is to remove the battery, there is no response from any single buttons after it is in bootloader
the soft reset and hard reset work but it just goes right back to the bootloader screen after.
2) The USB malfunction. This only started after the phone "crashed" and before that it worked great ... well i only used it to sync up to my work pc for the contacts and to get pictures onto my hard drive.
all the PC's that i use are running XP. I have tried my home PC and my Laptop
and the work PC and all of them have their own cables and they all say the same thing ... "the USB device is malfunctioning"
I am sure that when i get the phone going again the USB will start to function again.
3) Phone warranty ... I bought the phone off e-bay from a store in new york about 10 months ago as a "new unlocked cingular 8525" it was new and unlocked, but i have no idea how they unlocked it. I would assume that there would be no warranty now and in any case i live in Canada and would have to ship it down to the states to an AT&T repair center and that sounds like a nightmare to me with the customs and so on.
I will give you a little more background on the problem. the phone worked like a charm without any problems at all for the 10 months that i had it, then the morning of the crash the phones alarm did not go off in the morning and i was almost late for work ... i did not pay it any further attention untill at 3:26pm
that afternoon the alarm went off ??????? (it was set for 6:05am) so i checked the main clock time, it was right. I then checked the alarm time, it was right ??? So i figured that something must have just got confused, so i powered down the phone with the power button to just restart it and while it was powered down i removed the battery to take the oportunity to to clean all those fuzzies and dust that collect in the battery compartment out and put it all together and powered it up again (just by pushing the power button) and this wierd red, green, blue and white screen appeared and that is all that i have seen since ???
I hope that answers your questions and i will start going through the links that you sent and get to reading ... will there be a pop quiz ... lol
Thanks again for your time and i very much appreciate all the time that all of you have spent on me and my phone ..... I know that you all just feel bad for me because i now have to use a Motorolla V551 ... lol
Great Work

1. Search for "mr vanxs guide" so you have an idea on what you're doing.
2. OK, as Asfarizal said "Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus". If you cant work out what the buttons are, go to the manual. it will tell you.
3. type in "hard SPL" in search on the forum & download the .zip or .rar file. this should have 2 files inside when opened,
a). RUUWrapper.exe and
b). RUU_signed.nbh
sync Hermes and double click .exe file. follow prompts.
4. find a rom that you want (would suggest TNT SE as a fairly good rom for noobs... good and stable, no problems...) Again download, then (and this is personel preference) format an sd card fat 32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh into root directory. Rename it Hermimg.nbh. Put into Phone and put into bootloader(make sure the battery is more than 50%) follow prompts. This should get you out of trouble. You can also sync your Phone and double click on the RUUWrapper.exe HOWEVER, if you should reset your computer, pull out the usb cable or have anything else happen to the computer that interrupts the flashm, you could end up with a worse brick than you have now. try to read up on flashing (search for "mr vanxs guide") and this should help you a lot if you have other questions. Good luck and happy flashing......

kirtibas, sorry it took so long to reply, 1st thing I'd do is upgrade to SPL 2.10 olipro. This is safer to use than others. then I'd suggest reflashing a stock rom to see if that works. After stock rom works then use a cooked rom as your heart desires... Cheers...
Hello,
While I was installing the official JasJar ROM the USB cable has been disconnected.
And the phone now doesn't start up or even turn on the screen backlight.
But the screen shows 'Serial v 1.00' and when I plug in the USP cable it shows 'USB v 1.00' .
- Tried to make a hard reset but there is no change.
- Tried to re-connect it to my PC but ActiveSync doesn't see it.
So, please tell me what to do to fix this problem..
Thanks for advance
Flash the ROM, you are in bootloader.
Thanks, could you tell me where to find the steps to do this?
Reading Wiki would be a first step. It contains information and answers to practically any question you might possibly have and solutions to almost any problem you can run into
If you already have the ROM files on your computer and read the Wiki to account for any eventuality - just proceed. Make sure you take care of all the steps and follow the instructions.
Best of Luck.
Thanks a lot. and I've found it in the wiki
