XDAIIi dead after partial ROM upgrade!

I have 2 XDAIIi and I upgraded my last one only to have a serious problem during in the process.
I thought I followed everything ok. set it all up and left my XDA to update, when I got back about 20min later my XDA was black and the software on my PC had dissapeared?
Went to reboot XDA and nothing except Serial v1.01
I think its dead and needs to be sorted by a repairer but as a last resort, can anyone advise me please if this is fixable?
Thanks
Paul.

Rerun the upgrade program and wait for several minutes.
Don't worry!

I have the exact same problem.
How can I rerun the program? I can´t even reset my Magician, and even if I tried, it can´t connect to the comp with Active Sync.
´cause I´ve tried it before, but it turned off after some minutes, and everything go back to before... Serial v1.0.2

it's stuck in bootloader mode, put the PDA in, run the update application and stop worrying.
you know the sequence you sue to put the PDA in Bootloader mode? pretend you've done it already and run the update.

thanks guy, it worked!
So that´s why... I was stucked in Boot Loader mode.
Just a minor question : is there a way to exit the Boot Loader mode without install the program again?

Unable to boot up after upgrade ROM to WM6

I follow instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313486 but after hardreset.
My p800w is stuck in T-Mobile logo and version number. It can't continue booting up to windows mobile.
Question: How to flash ROM without ActiveSync?
How to recovery my Artemis?
Welcome any advice,
Thanks in advance.

Yea me to, mine is now a brick after that upgrade? No active sync connection possible and all I get now is the blue O2 start screen after the hard reset with the red writing and numbers in the top left hand corner..
Phone is an UK XDA Orbit
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
HELP!!!!!!!

yeah, I had the same problem and have created a thread for it already. unfortunately I got no useful replies, and it seems that I am stuck waiting for an official o2 ROM so that I can recover my Orbit.

It seems there is a way to un brick our phones I just need to get my phone bootted into bootlader mode which no one seems to say how to do??
Can anyone help how I can boot my Orbit , like what combo of keys I need to press to boot it into bootloader mode then XP will see it at a driver level apparently Active Sync still won;t but I will be able to run some German ROM update with the ROM file replaced with the other ones and it may come back to life..
Help how can I boot my phoen in bootloader mode???

I read in here that you hold the voice button and soft reset.

Correct and use mtty
Already see in the forum ....

Thanks guys and apologies for the spelling..I ran the Artemis_USPL before I tried upgrading to WM6 and again have been able to run it after with my new brick now with the phone in bootloader mode but still when I try and run the german ROM update a) it will only work with the german file which freezes @ 3%? This seems to be a known problem reading around and b )when I replace it with the smaller ROM file, 54MB the german one is 66MB, I originally tried to use it doesn't read the ROM file or the update utility doesn't want to read it. I reckon I might be able to get it back if I can get one of the ROM update utilities to read a good ROm file and send it to the phone.
I can;t find this MTTY program to sniff the USB port and return the code of if the USPL util wokred as I think that could be key to all of this.
Can anyone post a quick how to here for
1) install MTTY from somewhere
2) what command to run agaist the phoen to see if the USPL util worked and what values I should be looking for
3) another WM6 ROM version (that the update utils can read) download location I can download from to try and send to the phone using the German update util
Not asking for much am I but I desperately need my phone back WM5 or 6 in the next day or so so really can't send it off.
Thanks

Error message I recive at the 3% stage when using the German ROM and english update util.

use the file attach and read that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285112

Thanks but I'm not that cleud up on what commands I'm meant to be sending. It works in Bootloader mode I ge a response from the phone by send it a command. But even if I get a response telling me what the CID status is its not much help as I think ti shoudl have tekane BEBEs ROM by now as I've got the german ROMUpdateUtility sending that 54,272KB file to the phone but it stops after 3%. What are my options?

That's right. On older models MTTY was quite useful, but not on the Artemis. You cannot use it to read the CID status anyway. If you are not sure about the status, run the USPL tool, just to make sure.

I've already re run the USPL ROMUpdateUtility and it completes 100% okay in bootloader mode. But after I hard reset and then try and flash the WM6 BEBE ROM or any ROM German etc back onto it it either fails with the error code I posted up earlier or gets to 3% and fails.
What are my options at this stage? Does anyone have a link to another ROM I can try like the original WM5 O2 ROM or any other WM6 ROm that might work. I'm willing to give them all a try as it's just a useless phone right now and I haven;t sent it off as 1) I need it before the weekend and 2) As I can flash some ROMs with the USPL and others have done this no problem I really feel there must be a solution as I can still falsh the phone.

What can I say RTFM... I did it all right and I didn't have a brick, I missed out one small detail... loading on the ROM with the extended ROM. All now running and it does seem a little faster than WM5.
Thank you to all those that tried to help out. To the others that are still having probs.. Don't try and run the update in the middle of a busy day in the office whilst trying to manage 100 other things meaning you are probably missing out a line like me...
One question though how do I get back my O2 power and storage meters on the today screen back as I liked them and the WiFi seems to have a bug where when it is enabled and you click on the WiFi symbol up the top it only allows you to switch it on, when it is already on.. so you have to open up the COMM manager to switch it off.

So how did you fix it exactly? I have read this thread thoroughly and can't find out what you did!

ERROR[206] occurs while trying to update ROM to WM6
While tring to update ROM to WM6 on O2 XDA Orbit i encounter ERROR[206].
I wanted to attach the screen shot but dont know how to do that, but anyway what i am doing is i attached my pda to my pc via activesync using supplied usb cord. Everything goes well till i reach a screen where it says "You are now ready to update your ROM image...." and once i click next a progress bar apperas and my pda shuts and activesync exit's automatically and my pda tries to restart with RBG band and some text:RUU, IPL 1.25.0001, SPL 1.25.0000 and USB. And thats it after few seconds or a min i get the ERROR[206] and my pda hangs.
I dont know why Activesysn shutsdown ???
Just an additional in i want to tell that without installing activesync i am not able to connect/pair my pda with my pc. So do i need to install the drivers and then try or it doen't matter cause once i install Active sync i can connect the device.
Please help me with this....
Thanks

Bootloader
I had a problem with my phone loaded touch flow 4 and cid unlocking, everything was fine then after a while it froze at boot up.
I look put the battery and did a hard reset, put it into bootloadeder mode, reflashed with a t-mobile rom does not need to be cid unlocked to do that.
Once origonal rom was working, cid unlock again, flashed back to touchflow 4.0 - sorted

Where did you got an tmobile rom from can you tell me. Mine is also freezing on booting almost once every day or so after I've upgraded to 4.0

Urgently Need Help!!! Imatejasjam

Hi, i have just bought a new imate jasjam and uploaded the windows mobile 6 as per your instructions. Everything was going ok, then active sync kept stuffing up, i reinstalled it 3 times and only sometimes works, i have limited to no connectivity in my LAN, and my imate takes 2hrs to do anything once i touch the screen. i have tried hard resetting etc nothing! i have searched and searched for everything and found nothing, i eally hope someone can help me, i am at my wits end!
PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Try putting it into bootloader and flashing hard spl and flash a new rom after that.

thank you!
i just tried to do that and it said error please connect the usb to the phone etc..and it is..
if this helps anyone- ipl 1.04 and spl.2.10.0lipro?
ggrrrr

Can you tell us what ROM you are trying to flash, and what OS you are using to connect with?

ROM VERSION: 3.30.2.1
ROM DATE: 05/15/07
RADIO:1.38.30.10
PROTOCOL:32.71.7020.12H
I have a windows xp sp2
i am so grateful to everyones input. thanks

usb connectivityy
Goto to the usb settings under communication and remove the tick from advanced usb fuctionality. Maybe unplug from USB first before doing that.

Thanks, have just tried that but it didnt work, still got the red cross on the icon and limited to no connectivity thru the LAN. i am so lost, i should have just left the phone as is ;-(

have you tried loading into the bootloader and then connecting the jasjam to your pc?
How to get into the bootloader is described here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
once connected just run the offical update from telstra (which is a damn good rom btw) and it should return your jasjam to normal. The latest Offical update can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348436&highlight=telstra
hope that helps
edit; should have read first post. hmmm. try uninstalling activesync and reinstalling it, or try on another computer. i had this problem awhile ago, can't remember exactly how i fixed it, but it was a combination of new activesync, bootloader and hardresetting

ok, i have reset it- is the bootloader screen the one with 3 colours with ipl etc on it?
i connected it and it then said usb on the screen, but activesync can't connect it?

When you get to the bootloader screen with the 3 colors you need to reflash with a new ROM

thanks to everyone, i am now back and running! god knows hoe but thanks!

Which is your device a G3 or G4 ? post the IPL/SPL...? of the phone to determine the version. As far as it gets to bootloaders (tricolor screen) you are safe,its just a bad flash,nothing to worry,you'll soon have it working fine.
Which rom were you trying to upgrade to ? and what exactly were you doing.First, is your phone SIM/CID unlocked,if you were trying to upgrade to a latest wm6 rom,its essential to have the phone CID unlocked
Secondly,while in bootloaders, Activesync doesn't work,you got to have a working OS on the phone to sync with activesync,but when in bootloaders and usb appears in the bottom of the screen,you can flash the rom.
Cheers!

K Jam hangs at blue screen
Hi to all,
I have a K jam more then 1 years old. Now It is giving some probem. There is no display but only light in the screen but I make call and recieve calls!.
First time when problem arised. I pressed 3 battons(2 left side and 1 up side)the screen will became perfect and when I remove the battery & reinserted, the problem arised again. When I asked some 2 to 3 mobile service mens, thay told that there is a problem with OS (By reinstalling the OS it will be repaired). I think probem is with the strip connect motherboard to the LCD, that could be cuted but service mens told no, it is problem with OS.
Where I can get the OS, WM5 is preinstalled in it.
Still it did not open the mobile. Please help me
Many Thanks for all
Srikanth.K

Big Problem cant update any rom

Hello,
afther an update on my p3600 with an error.
I have only the bootscreen of the rom.
I cant flash any new rom , every time i have connection errors.
is there any chance to correkt the problem or to delet the phone completly?
A Hardreset doesn´t bring anything.
Please help me i cant do anything with my p3600.

take a look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572747

i read the thread,
but i have tested to update the hard spl but it doesn´t work.
The update software always told me that there is an connection error.
But when i want to install the rom 6.1 manila 2g the software found an connection and start to update but when the software is at 1% the update software told me that the rom is corrupt

This is the reason you should always install HardSPL BEFORE you start flashing any roms at all.
Once you have bricked it, then it is too late to put HardSPL on there.
The whole point of HardSPL is to ensure that you will always be able to get a connection to the device even if you have a broken rom on there.
If the phone is bricked, with no HardSPL on there, your only remaining option would be to try using an unbricking exploit procedure like this:
HTC Trinity Stack Overflow exploit - how to unbrick any Trinity stuck in bootloader!!
^^^ Sorry I have never had to do this myself and have no experience or advice on how to use that exploit utility ... hopefully there is enough help in that thread to get you going again.
Good luck.
EDIT: I thought I'd better just check you do realise that you can get the Tri-colour SPL screen up manually by holding down POWER + CAMERA buttons and 1sec press of STYLUS RESET button. Quickly reading through that splxploit thread I was disturbed to see just how many people didn't even know who to do that
Maybe it's just my paranoia from owning an "i" model but I have never done a single rom flash without first using that 3 button trick to get into SPL screen.

Try flashing the Stock ROM that came with your phone. It may get you going again. Can be downloaded from the HTC website.
