Hello,
because my posting in this forum wasn'n answered i tried to fix together with Mr. Wolf from Wolfsoft (www.wolfsoft.de - also great for fast XDA RAM-Upgrades) with the informations i found.
Everytime i write the i did something - i mean - we did it! We worked hard together for this solution.
-----------------
First:
Maybe, surely you can destroy you XDA-ROM more than it was destroyed before. I not guarrante or take responibility for any errors or damages occuring while trying the next steps.
Situation:
I upgraded my german O2-XDA in the wrong way. After this I had the following problem:
- The O2-bubbles appearing after soft- or hard resetting the XDA are displayed for 3 or 4 minutes. In the right bottom corner of the display the Version of WinCE ist dissplayed (3.14), after some times someting more was shown but that seemes to be from a crashed source.
- After the "pling" a white screen with a blue bar on the top is displayed. The screen-light doensn't turn off. Nothing more happened, after 20 or 30 Minutes the XDA performs a soft reset automatically - after this the same problems occuring
Requrements I needed to fix my problem:
- 1 (better 2 SD-Cards with minimum 32MB Capacity)
- XDA Cradle connected to the PC and Power
- in some cases 1 Charging cable (USB or Power) with a connector for the XDA
- The Program A and Program B - Files provided by german O2 website
- The repair.zip-File provided by XDA-Developers
- A second XDA or a SD-Card-Reader connected with your PC
- many time
- Your XDA must have a working bootloader (mine was Version 5.15), try it by holding the Power-button while performing a soft-reset.
What I did:
- After entering the Wallaby-Bootloader an "gsm-error" - message appears after 1 minute of "wait"
- I entered the SD-Card-Menu by pressing the Contacts-Button on the left-top of the XDA
- I choosed Write CE to SD in order to save my original CE in order to avoid unuseful Questions in case of repair-fail by O2-Support
- After this I performed a soft reset an waited for 1 or 2 Minutes after the white screen appeared
- While tis time write the contents of the unzipped repair.zip to the SD-Card using the SD-Card-Reader or the second XDA
- Now i pressed the "Volume" - Button on the left side for many times, after some trys (if it is not working perform a soft reset and try new) I saw a non-working Today-Screen
- Now insert the SD-Card on you have written the files from repair.zip
- There are 2 possibel reactions:
First: You get a message to format your SD - DO NOT!!!! In this case remove your SD-Card, connect your XDA with the Charging Cable and perform a soft reset. It is okay that there is no charging light. After you entered the Today-Screen insert the SD - do not remove the Charging-Cable! Then it will work.
Second: Installing beginns without any problems
Now your Radio Stack-Module will beginn to be updated. In my case I got the 1% Error discussed in the forum.
- Remove the Power cable, connect your cradle with the PC and the Power, perform a soft reset and wait what is happening. After the error occurs don't push the ok-button. Simply press the start-tab (or anywhere other excluding the message). Now take the XDA out of the cradle and after this put it in again, still with the error message on the screen. Now an active sync connection will be shown on both, your XDA and the PC! If you have this case, it looks good.
- If this doesn't work, replace the RSUpgrade.sa.cab-File from the repair.zip with the same named File, whats included in the program_B.exe (extract first, you will find the result in <Harddisk-Device:\Programme\Programm B) and writhe both on your SD
- Soft reset the XDA, ignore all errors, do not put the new written SD-Card in - open the Active sync-connection and delete the both newest files in the Windows-Directory of your XDA. If you can't delete, rename the file. After this perform a new soft reset.
- You will get a "file not found error". Try to temove and insert your XDA in the cradle to get an active sync-cennection. If this doesn't work insert the new written SD
- Try new flashing again again, maybe it works. If not try to push on the screen and remove and reinsert your XDA in the cradle to get a Connection.
- If there is no possibility to get a connection - i do not know any futher solutions - sorry.
If you get the connection, perform the normal Flashing with Program A provided by your Provider. After this is successfully completed you will see the loading-LED again! Congratulations!
If this is completed charge your Battery to at least 70% - be patient, it will take up to 1 Hour!
After this perform Programm B provided by your Provider. If this successfully completes - Congratulations - you are up and running!
I don't know, if I had happy circumstances, but this worked to gat my working XDA back!
If it do not work, use the first SD-Card containing your old CE to copy back your old ROM in order to not loose your support by your Provider. Simply insert the card into your XDA and perform a soft-reset while holding the Power-Button. Everything looks broken but original!
Please feedback in the XDA-Forum-Thread, if it worked at your XDA or if you have any hints for improvements this steps. Thank you!
Best regards from Berlin/Germany to all XDA-Fans like I am!

Very detail.....thanks a lot ! :lol:
Tried your solution but i don't know which files i should delete cause when i delete the latest two files i get no error message...
When trying to install Programm a anywway i get a Connect Power Message and the installation stops.
Edit:
I managed to get the file not found error by renaming the RsUpgrade executable but still get the Power Adapter not plugged in Error...
So it would be very important to know which Programm A you used.
Hello,
@ianrush
Have you been able to get an active sync connection as I described?
You have to delete the file causing the Radio-Stack-Update after restart, I think they are located in the Windows directory of your XDA. If you let your XDA order the files by date the 2 newest files are the ones for updating the Radio Stack and causing the 1%-error. In deleting these files you can get your XDA booting without starting the gsm and getting the Active-Sync-connection. To break up the Installation you must delete these files (i remenber that on (the one that must be renamed) was only 35k or in this area, the other one was much larger).
After deleting and restarting by soft reset you don´t get the 1%-error-message, but another one like "The file can´t be found). But if you see this message (do not press okay!!!!!) you can use your Active-Sync-Connection to flash with Programm A and after this programm B.
The files (germen version) are located here.
Klick at the link "Download Software-Update" and accept the conditions by clicking "Akzeptieren". After this a new window is displayed for downloading the Software. The versions are:
CE: Version 3.19.01 -
Radio Stack Version 4.21
"Teil 1" means Programm A
"Teil 2" means Programm B.
Remember, it is the german version with some german specials like the "Homezone". But you can turn it off and while I see, that you are from Austria, I think you won´t have any problem with the language...
Isn´t it very strange, that 2 german speaking people trying find solutions in english??? :?
Best regards from Berlin!

I have no problem starting an Active Sync Connection, my problem is, that i get this odd Error Message which tells me to plug in the Power Adapter, which is obviously connected...
There is a much easier way of getting rid of the Flash Prog bei simply deleting the RsUpgrade link in the Auto Start Folder in the wwindows directory and its also possible to start an Connection via AS.
My real problem is the battery charge check before the real flashing of the RSU.
I tried it with the mentioned O2 files and also with Tmobile.at/de files.
A solution may be to "crack" the installation file or to write a small prog wich tells PPC that the battery is chraged.
Many thanks for your help, but it didnt solve the problem for me.
PS: Well its an English Forum so i think we should stay in that language
Oh, I forgot to write that one.
The charging light, wich may be an indicator for the XDA-OS for the supplied Power came back as we installed the O2 Radio Stack via the Active Sync-Connection bevor performing Programm A - Upgrade. Try to perform Program B - Update first, in our case we got our lovely orange light back and then performed the Programm A and Programm B - Update again!
Regards again!
Michael
Didn't work for me either.
The BIG question is how the hell did you get your XDA charging his battery again ? I believe that this will help many people to get their 1% Flash failed problem solved.
Hi !
I will try this method tomorrow.
Sebi
Hello,
I do not know why, but after (failed) installing Programm B after connecting via Active Sync first it worked . Maybe because of the working version-combination of Radio Stack and CE.
Regards
Miwu
@Sebi Please post if it is working!
Hi !
Don't work for me.

I followed your steps and got the following message on my device:
The file "\Windows\RSUpgrade.exe" is in use or is in ROM. If the file is not in ROM, please close the application using the file.
Please advise
Anaq8i,
if this messege appears then rename the file "\Windows\RSUpgrade.exe" with an new name like "\Windows\RSUpgrade_used.exe" restart the device and follow the further instructions.
Hope that helps
Regards
Michael
miwu,
I cannot rename it, nor can I delete it, I think because it is in ROM. Please keep in mide that the I have not closed the error message after the 1% halt.
I reached the point were I can access my device and can sync with my PC. If I try the Programme A install, I get the message " WARNING 001: POWER ADAPTER NOT PLUGGED IN, Please plug the power adapter into your Pocket PC". Every time I try the RSU upgrade I get the 1 % error. Any suggestions will be appreciated
Hi anaq8i,
please try to rename the file by using the Active-Sync-Connection an the Explorer of your big Desktop-PC. The file cannot be in the rom, it is located in the ram of your device in order to get deleted after upgrading. Try to rename the file this way, then perform a soft-reset (not a hard one) then you will get an error-message that sonds like "the file ... cannot be fount", then put your device in the crade for active sync and try to install the original Programm B of your Provider (not the file from repair.zip). That worked at my XDA.
Please answer how it worked.
Regards this time from Hamburg/Germany
Michael
thanx a lot, have the same error, now all worx fine!
czeky thanks for answer. I am glad that my description was helpful Doe it work for other users?
@ czeky
would you also please be so kind and tell us if u tried any other steps than mentioned by miwu ?
If i treally worked with your XDA there you must have done something different then anaq8i, Sebi and i did...
miwu
I reached the point that I can boot my XDA and can sync with my PC. But I still cannot install /upgrade the RSU software, I still get the 1% error. If I try to install Porgramme A, I get the "POWER ADAPTER NOT PLUGGED IN" error message. I never reached the orange light stage on the XDA.
Anything else I should do?
@anaq81
Did you try to rename the described file via Active Sync? I posted it some day ago ...
Hi all together,
After trying install "Resco Keyboard Pro" for my PPC (Qtek 9100), I get everytime, when I turn on my Pocket PC an error message:
"The file 'RKbdInit' cannot be opened
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now I deleted all Resco Keyboard folders, with intention to make disappear this
error message. Has anybody an idea how to solve this problem? My desire is not to get going the software.......I just want that my PPC doesn't hang after each start (because of the error message).
greetings,

That's never happened. Which ROM did you install?
I'm trying cook ROM in czech language (CSY). I cooked ROM based on WM 6.5.3 build 28205 with 0405.mui (CSY) and windows mobile boot no problem but after calibration display, EXTROM doesn't install so I haven't got some Acer utilities. And in Comm manager I haven't got Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Bluetooth icon is in Settings but if I click on it, it wrote "Cannot start the Bluetooth stack". Anyone help me with this problems?
Extrom doesn´t install:
- Do you have extrom.bin in your Flash folder?
- Do you see any Error message that the installation of extrom.bin got aborted?
Do you have extrom.bin in your Flash folder?
Yes, I have.
- Do you see any Error message that the installation of extrom.bin got aborted?
No.
Sometimes the SD Card brakes the installation of the Extrom.bin.
Take the SD Card out and make the Hard Reset - Hold two Volume Buttons together with Power Button and Reset the device with the Stylus Pen.
Then report back if that worked.
