Hi all. I'm trying to flash my XDA2s back from the iMate Rom to the original 02 image.
I have the .nb1 file on my computer. I let the handset sync using activesync. Then double click the image. It loads up the 'XDA OS Image Tool' which seems to work fine.
Then a command prompt widow pops up and says:
'ERROR: GetDeviceData - unspecified error
error getting devicedata'
Programme A v1.09 pops up and eventually an error message tells me
'cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure the USB/Serial cable is properly connected'
Any ideas? I'm a bit of a n00b still with this stuff and I reeeeaaaally need this returned to the original rom image.
cheers - Mike

Hi Mike,
Suggest you download the latest O2 Spec Complete shipped ROM, unzip it into another folder, add MaUpgradeUt_NoID and use this method instead. This should give you a completely standard O2 ROM..
More information can be found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
Let me know how you get on..?
Cheers,
PC
Cheers for the quick reply!
The thing is, its kinda on its last legs (whistling screen, loose stylus, rubber seal under screen coming out, dodgy down button, didn't enjoy my trip to poland etc) so I predict it will meet its end in the next couple of weeks and I'll need to pull an insurance job. I need to make it so they can't tell that I flashed it or it invalidates the insurance cover. Will they be able to tell if I flash it with the new 02 ROM that isn't the original?

Hi Mike,
My guess is as long as it's an original O2 ROM (that, quite rightly, would have been available to you anyway) they shouldn't have any issue..
One thing that would be a problem is if you have ever upgraded to WM5 and unlocked/unhidden your ExtROM as this would forever be known as your ExtROM wouldn't have a password..
My feeling is that provided you've never updated in this fashion, you'll be ok..
Others - Feel free to comment if you know different..?
Then again, if you're going through the Insurance where the phone has been dropped (off a Building, for example) where they had no ability to see it working, they'd be none the wiser, would they..? :wink:
I sure hope not I did upgrade to WM2005, and then back again, but I can't see an extended ROM anywhere.

Did you re-size the ExtROM, etc using the following procedure..?
Wiki said:
If you have not unhided and unlocked your Extended ROM yet
copy xda-developers_Unlocker.cab from the "Preparation\ExtROM unlocker - WM2003SE" folder to your device.
install it by tapping on it in filemanger
then go to start -> Programs -> ExtROM tools -> then first run "unhide", then "Unlock". Do a soft reset.
Setup the Storage size to get a full 60MB and not 43 MB
Copy Repart_DOC.exe from the "Preparation\DOC repartitioning tool" folder to your device and launch it.
Set size of Extended ROM to 128 kb (or a bit more, if you want a NOT working extended ROM)
Press "Format now!" and wait until it is done (A few seconds). You will see a message that it is done.
Soft reset.
You will get an error message about your storage, just press yes and wait a few seconds
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unless I'm mistaken, this process will change the password for the ExtROM..
Can others advise..?
Cheers!
D'oh, I can't remember! I recall setting the ext. rom to 128kb so I probably did. Darn.
Hi, a friend have 2 pda universal from vodafone that he has flashed and killed. I don´t know what happend. pda always shows USB and v1.00. After a lots o rom updates still dead, i have JAFWM, but with or without this machine is dead.
any rom especial version?
any soft?
thanks.
1. Try to restart the device in bootloader mode(Light key, power and reset pressed together)
2. Look at the display (should say Serial and version at the bottom)
3. Disable the USB connection in Active Sync otherwise the update will crash.
4. Plug in USB Cable (Screen Should now show USB at the top)
5. Start original Upgrade from your provider or take the upgrade you want to use with the MA_UpGrade_noid.exe.
6. After Flashing restart device with both soft keys at the bottom of the screen ( Buttons with - on it) pressed.
7. When asked type 0 to erase all data.
9. Device should start normally, if it doesn't do not hesitate to ask.
device always start in bootloader mode, i flash all times without problems, but when i restart device, automatically puts on bootloader mode.
after flash, make factory settings but,after this, restart in same mode.
always, when i run update program soft MaUpgradeUt_noID, detects no rom in pocket loaded.
strange problem on 2 pda´s ?
thanks
That shouldn't be a problem. Just continue to flash the rom. There could be a problem with your bootloader and the upgrade version (AKU2) you want to use.
Maybe it's a problem with bootloader.
Try it, maybe it will help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=11414
i think same as you, only problem with ROM image, but i have flashed many roms but I can´t revive device. So i ask name of Rom tht can revive pda.
Br.
PD. how i can flash the archive attached?
The rar file mentioned above is only the bootloader you already got on your device.
In your case i would use an old AKU1 rom and to see if it works.
hi guys
i have same problem. show only boot loader mode. how to use this boot loader file. wich AKU1 file is working. my phone is MDA PRO from germany T-mobile, i wan't to update ro to English. after flashing many times, many rom no result. help me

Hello Siemens Man
Which Bootloader do you have ?
It would be great if you could make an backup of your bootloader then, that i could downgrade my phone and try to unlock it.(If do not know how to make an backup, thats no problem, because i can show you how to do it)
greetz
hi man
i have in boot loader mode. show me usb v1.00 only. i don't have buck up for my phone. please tell me solution how repair my phone.
thanks a lot
Did you try to update your phone to the latest orange rom for testing yet ?
If not try it out (I know it is said to be slow, but only if all orange customizations are installed) If it runs then its ok.
Otherwise try to use the exitbl.exe mentioned somewhere in this forum, hopefully it works.
connect to mtty and issue set 14 0 and then restart the device or use exitbl utility by buzz

Hi,
I was upgrading my XDA Exec using Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe
My laptop died. It sometimes overheats but it hadn't happened in a while.
I now can't progress past the bootloader even after full clean reset.
Anyway. I have the O2 screen reading:
R 1.04.01
G 42.37.P8
D 1.13.82 WWE
My laptop detects a USB connection, although it says "USB Device Not Recognised". Activesync 4.1 won't detect it, however, I've tried changing settings etc but to no avail.
I've trawled the board here and found people recovering from similar situations with other devices. Am I gonna be able to restore my beloved exec from paperweight-status?
btw: am in Ireland where O2 don't support the exec and bought it from a guy in the UK who got it as an unwanted upgrade. have flashed it before just fine...but don't think I'll be able to return it to O2 as UK and IRL are not the same company...
Help?
Mark
p.s. ran BL10_RUU_UNI_V11.exe and got 101 connection error :-(
EDIT:
Fixed, using bootloader mode and re-running the upgrade. thanks
xda neo crash
You need to reinstall your windows mobile 5 system. If you are using orginal german neo rom, you can download rom from o2 web site, or you can download from this sites ftp server
thanks for the feedback,
I found the info on restarting in bootloader mode (i had previously misunderstood "bootloader") and was able to re-flash it by USB no probs.
I now have a happy XDA
Hello there ...I have about the same problem with my MDA Vario....could you explain how do I "restart in bootloader mode"?
My PPC just stucks before loading windows...
thanks
How to get bootloader mode
Ok, did a bit of a lookaround and got this (I thinkg the MDA Vario is the XDA Mini)
For Xda II and Xda IIi
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the D pad (5 way directional button)
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda IIs
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the Camera button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda Exec
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the Backlight button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda Mini S
- Press & hold the voice command button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole (short quick press). Keep hold of the voice command button until you see the screen with multicolored horizontal stripes). The device is now in Bootloader mode and you can follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
EDIT:
The rest of the process (just in case you need to know) is as follows:
(and if you have problems open your connection settings in activesync and ensure that USB is unchecked...that is OFF. remember to reset the USB settings once you've successfully upgraded)
in 'Bootloader' mode
When this happens the device screen will be blank except for the words;
Serial
v 1.00a
The word 'Serial' should change to 'USB' when the cradle is plugged into the PC, and the version number below this will vary. When you get this screen, a soft or hard reset will not make any difference.
It is still possible to run the ROM upgrade file again, WITHOUT using Activesync (activesync will not restart anyway).
Firstly unplug the USB cradle and reboot the PC
Plug the cradle back into the USB port (this must plug directly into the USB port and not into a USB Hub/adaptor).
Now run the ROM upgrade file again from the PC. This should just run as per normal and correctly reflash the device.
Thanks bob_jesus!!
I am already in bootloader mode....Could you tell me where I can find the files to flash it? My device is Tmobile MDA Vario. Are there different files for flashing for every device? (O2 XDA mini s, MDA Vario, imate kjam...)??
Thanks again
Hi Ermoscow,
I'm sure if you trawl around the boards a bit you'll find it. I'm pretty new to this but yes, all these devices tend to have a different Rom, and each device itself tends to have a different Rom based on your mobile carrier.
e.g. I use an XDA exec which is the same as an HTC universal, they could theoretically use the same Rom but not the same rom as an XDA mini.
Again, this is all in my understanding and keeping it simple.
another idea would be to check the t-mobile site and download your rom directly from them, it should be available. if i find anything for you i'll post back.
Thank you everybody!
After managing to get to the bootloader mode I made a rom update which solved the problem!
Now it works great again!
thanks
Botloader Mode
I have a bricked MDA as I had a power outage while flashing the ROM. Can someone tell me how to recover. I find references to folks entering bootloader mode and then recovering, but I cannot find a post that tells me how to do it. Can anyone help? [email protected]
I'm desperate!
Regards,
Bob
Hi, which MDA is it because the instructions should be included in my post up above. You just need to find which XDA your device corresponds to and go from there. All that info's in this forum somewhere for sure.
Best of luck!

Hi All!!
Would really appreciate some advice on how i go about unlocking my T-mobile MDA Compact II. Just had it back from repair, having purchased unlocked (also supplied unlocking files). Not sure if maybe software more up to date but software doesn't work now, neither does the link you have all kindly posted above! When running 'lokiwiz' batch file, lists error - transfer error.
My info is:
Rom Version 2.6.2.27WWE
Rom Date 3/9/06
Radio version 02.19.21
Protocol version 4.1.13.19
Extrom version 2.6.2.110
Please, please can anyone help me as without a phone!!! Thanks so much for your help.
Regards.
Rosco.
Have you tried the whole process according to the instruction? I dont know that which Lokiwiz you are trying but my sister have bought the pink MDA compact II from t-mobile in october and I have successfully unlocked my device.
Try this one but please go point to point.
Sidd
Cheers Sidd!!!
Hey thanks so much Sidd!!!
After days of trying so many different files and methds of trying to get the dam thing working, finally the zip file you listed worked like a treat!!!
Can't thank you enough mate!! If you were close enough i'd buy you a drink or five!!!!
Hopefully this will help others to with the same problem!
Thanks again!!

Unlock T-Mobile MDA Compact II
I am looking at the notepad file Lokiwiz03 and it says
"2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard"
Which wizard and where do I find it? (Sorry if I sound thick but have never done this before)
Thanks!
I am out of my computer, hopefully I will reply on this problem tomorrow.
bill Copy EnableRapi.cab to your mda compact 2
then klick on it then start the bat file on your pc
after getting a dos windows on your pc
look for a code between the lines
copy the code and use it to unlock it
that is what i did to unlock my t-mobile mda compact 2
Hello Sidd,
I did download the ZIP folder, But I can't unziped...
and and getting following massage "File skipped unknown Compression method"
Please help me out....
Thanks
I did have Zipped this file on WinZip 10, download the attached file, now I have zipped it on a normal compression
GoodLuck
Sidd
not working
i tried this so many times. every time i tapped on the enablerapi.cab file, my mda compact just removes it. what am i doing wrong?
Obviously it is gonna dissappear after the installation. Please follow the steps 1 by 1.
Suggestion 01
1 - Connect your device with ur PC and make sure activeSync recognise it.
2 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to somewhere in your computer
3 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
4 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
5 - Execute lokiwiz.bat and follow the instructions on your screen...
Suggestion 02
For those of you having problems with lockiwiz 3a not unlocking your phone, well i was having the same problem, but not for long because i discoverd what i was doing wrong.
when you download lokiwiz 3a you have 2 things, lockiwiz and a folder called utils, now in the folder utils you will find a file called enablerapi its about 70kb in size, copy this to your MDA vario in the my documents folder, once there run it by tapping on it in my documents on your MDA saying Ok to everything, once youve done that, then and only then try running the lockiwiz application on your main pc making sure your connected via ActiveSync and look for the SIM unlock code in the black command promt box and jot this number down, then put SIM card in thats different from the one you use and switch on, when asked for the unlock code just type in the number you have written down earlier.
GoodLuck
Sidd
hi sidd,
it did not work on my mda compact. i tried both suggestions 1 and 2. but i didn't get any unlock code when i ran lokiwiz. i will give it another try one of these days. maybe i need to remove my tmobile simcard first? anyway.... thanks a lot. and happy new year.
Well I have downloaded the whole solution from this same forum and applied on my sister's Mda and it did work.
Happy New Year to you all as well
Sidd

Copy and paste the output from the unlocking program here. Anyway, if it doesn't give you a code, probably your phone is already unlocked.

QTek s110 is a Magician and NOT a Charmer. Try the Magician section and wiki. You are lucky that you are not flashing your phone or else you may have got yourself an expensive brick.
This works a treat
Thanks loads for this walkthrough m8 its flawless. Great work m8.
It works with IPL 3.x!
After many tries and misses... I tryed everything but can't unlock my charmer with IPL 3.x... BUT THIS METHOD WORKS PERFECTLY !!!!!! In 5 minutes charmer was unlocked! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yet another bricked artemis owner
Hi…
Newbie as I am I’ll try to explain to you what you should do...I’ve bricked mine artemis()but I think it is more related to hardware issue. You should try this:
1. Download mtty
2. Disable usb in active sync
3. Bring your Artemis to boot loader(pres start record +start phone+ reset)
4. Start mtty, choose usb and you’ll get popup up screen with direct access to your device.
5. Type this in command line of mtty (NOTE-YOU MYST TYPE IT/NO COPY PASTE WORKS)
Password BsaD5SeoA
6. You’ll get %indicator bar on your phone and then you can switch off mtty(do not disconnect your phone!!!)
7. Just start your ROM upgrade (it has to be factory rom if your phone is locked) and you should be ok.
(You need to have downloaded your original factory rom...For me it was O2 UK...do not start until you have it all)
If it fails, or you get some error massages, repeat all from point 2. Or follow on screen instructions...recovery etc...
If it fails,repeat,repeat,repeat....
Hope it will help you and save you from reading s... load of threads!!
P.S.
I’m still trying to bring mine to life….

It solved my problem: I've played around with some dll's on my Artemis and it won't boot anymore.
Just one thing: you must type password BsaD5SeoA, cause it's case sensitive.
