Help! : XDA IIi Flash problem - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi all,
I tried to flash my UK 02 XDA IIi with the latest firmware on their site but it failed .
Now I have a PDA that wont boot..
After reading around here I figured out I could use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
to flash my PDA with a rom from here to get round the Country Code problem...but...
I cannot upgrade it using the orignal O2 firmware, I am guessing it is becouse the tool above dosnt program the correct country code ???.
How can I get my UK o2 XDA IIi back to a state where I can download the offical software from their site and get it to update??.
If the only way this can be done is by giving o2 it...does anyone know if they do it in shop?..does it need sent away to a service center?...and how much does it cost?
I know a lot of people will say just use the other rom images, but I would really like to get it back to accepting o2 updates, as its much easier to make sure I have the latest firmware from them.
:shock:

Once you're in the 3 color bootloader mode. Run the flash update that is official for your phone. (ex: i'm with tmobile, so i'd be using the official t-mobile ROM) once you've re-flashed you're phone to your official ROM then you can always take a stab at flashing one of rick's or kavana's roms again. Remember always pull out your memory ( micro-sd) card b-4 performing any ROM flashes. Lastly, don't worry about Activesync not seeing your phone when trying to do this. That's supposed to happen. As long as you have your phone in bootloader ( tri color) mode and have your phone connected to PC via USB. then you're fine to install your official ROM

are you sure that your phone is a tmobile dash branded phone? Is there a logo just above your 4 way directional pad? The logo usually tips us off about what branded phone you have.
Secondly, if it is a tmobile brand. Is your phone a USA branded DASH or a UK Tmobile MDA Mail? The 3 ROMS on the link i gave you are only for the USA Roma and wouldnt work is you have a MDA Mail (UK)
Yes, there is a logo T-mobile logo in front side.But there is a HTC logo in the back side.
And this phone was bought in China.
Before i am using WM5 and there many Tmobile softwares in the phone
How can i checked whether it's DASH OR MDA MAIL

I don't guess you can. You can do a search on this forum to see if someone posted that ROM and see if that works
I've tried all but get the same : Error 294

Not sure what to tell you then. The error is basically saying that its a rom that not intended for your device. But if your phone is a USA Tmobile branded DASH then any of the 3 roms on the site I provided you should work. Maybe someone else like rick or nrg or rip syntaxx can give some insight.
I've tried Dash 5,6 , HTC, Dopod official Rom but got the same result.
I can not find the official ROM of T- Mobile MDA Mail.

Lemma ask you this. Did you ever have Wi-Fi working on your phone? If you did then it's probably not the MDA Mail as they did did not ship with Wi-Fi
Yes, i've wifi and 1.3 mega pixes Camera

Well if you're with tmobile USA then go to www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade then select your phone (DASH) then on the next screen type in your phone number and download the ROM there. See if that ROM works. Lastly make sure if you have a micro-sd card installed that you take it out b-4 installing the ROM
wel, i've tried before. But i dont know the correct Tmobile phone number ? Cause i'm not the US . I'm in China.
I'm sure that there's no sd card .

You might try taking out your sim card then. On the other hand, you might also try the dopod ROM sine i believe its the ROM for the china version of your phone. It'd be weird for it to work since you have the tmobile logo on the front of your phone.
Update: Also i took a look at the back cover you're using and MINE which is a US Tmobile DASH, has a different logo. Mine has the windows symbol with a "designed for windows mobile" stamp. Mine doesnt have the HTC stamp. So in reality yours could be one of many branded versions of the HTC Excalibur. And could be some kind of bootlegged device. My suggestion is to try all of the ROMS that are posted on the link i gave you and see if any of them work
As the pics i uploead . There's HTC stamp. So i think that's not Mine as you said .
DO i need to unlock or sth else before instatling ROM ?
Hic, i'm tied with that
My phone have tmobile's logo. And before there's many softs of T-mobile like " t-mobile messenger, tmobile zones .."

You really can't unlock you're phone if you cant get it to boot up like i said. try all of the roms on the link i gave you. It may be that someone re-CID locked it to another carrier. ( not sure how but definitely possible)

Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. WHAT?!

I went to the htc support website and tried to download the official 6.5 rom.
After i inserted the SN it says that this update is not suitable for my device.
How is that possible?!?!
I have the EU GSM Version.
PS: Can someone point me to a link where i can download the official 6.5 Rom upgrade?
Thanks.

Have you tried the official post in Rhodium development section? they're same like in the htc official website.
I finally downloaded the 6.5 official update but it says its not a good vendor or something when i try to install it. I guess its not made for my region/country.
Oh well...
Hi, I faced the same problem on HTC official website. What did you do?
Thanks,
I found a good SN on a website so i could download it, but you wont be able to flash your phone to the rom because its not suitable for your device, meaning in EU only Western Europe has an update. Eastern Europe still doesn't have an update to 6.5.
I bought a HTC Touch Pro 2 in Malaysia
I went to the HTC South East Asia site but when i enter the S/N it gives me this error
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=736&news_id=318
Have anyone found a way around this ?
Also had this issue with a UK Orange branded TP2
I mailed HTC and got this reply;
You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your device.
To clarify your issue, you stated that you have not been able to download an update from our website.
If your device is network branded or locked your network has restricted your access to our downloads. If you wish to download an upgrade to your device you will need to contact your network. They may have customised updates available on their website.
Another possibility is that you have been trying to download a version which is not suitable for your region (as example an Eastern European ROM for a Western European device) which is not possible.
So looks like its Orange that's at fault in my case. I contacted Orange and kicked up a stink as they advertised the phone with the feature of being able to update to wm6.5. They told me that they are working on it and it should be available soon...... :/
When they get it sorted they say it'll be here;
http://www.business.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?c=OUKDevice&cid=1242977836148&extarg1=Phone&pagename=Business&t=SMEDeviceDownloads
Anyone else got it sorted on Orange already tho?

I had this issue too on the SEA Website.
I told them, they fixed it and all good now...

The branded phones need to make their own updates. Thats HTC's rule.
Some mobile operators might release updates, some might not.
Yip...had the same problem today. I brought my TP2 from NZ 3 months ago and wasnt locked to any one provider there.
Now back in Indonesia I've tried getting the 6.5 Rom upgrade on both HTC's euro website and Asia/Pacific website and have come up with the same message....bummer.
I hope it gets sorted cos I was told by the vendor that it was upgradable....

02 UK Deisre abroad will it update to 2.2

as per subject
My Desire was bought from O2, so has it's firmware.
I'm moving abroad next month, will I still get an update to 2.2 ?
I won't be using O2.. will that stop me ?
Would I be better flashing it with a generic rom ?
Thanks

It's about choice...
Why you need flashing? if you Desire daily usage for Phone, SMS, Chat and Check Email and little bit Browse the net.. I think wait until official release for Desire much better than Rooted/Flashing your phone
Thanks for the reply.
I'd prefer not to flash or root it if I can help it.
The question really is will a UK O2 Desire automatically upgrade to 2.2 if used in New Zealand, with Vodafone ?
Thanks
Probably not. My understanding is that receiving updates is dependent on your current version. I'm on Meteor in Ireland, for example, but I won't receive any specific Meteor updates, because I have the generic HTC firmware.
So if you're on a kiwi network, with the O2 software, you'll get neither the HTC update nor any update your new network rolls out.
So either debrand now and get the HTC update whenever it's released, or wait until it comes out and flash the 2.2 rom directly.
One other thing you could do is take it to Vodafone in New Zealand and ask them to flash their own software on it. Since you're a new customer, they'll most likely oblige.
But that's if they even stock the Desire, btw. If they don't you'll have to do it yourself.
One thing to keep in mind re:carrier specific firmwares is that it may take an awfully long time for upgrades to trickle down. You could be looking at an additional month or more between HTC releasing it and your carrier releasing it.
And even when they do, they might disable certain features (wi-fi tethering, for example, isn't too popular with mobile operators)
Thanks
that is what I'd thought..
I suppose the only other thing would be if O2 released it for download, then I could manually install it !!
Are there still issues with wifi and the generic rom ?
Yeah, that's another way. Bookmark this link:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
The only issues were with people who people who debranded their phone and flashed to the generic rom. But for anybody else, there's no issues whatsoever.
Thanks
If I change the ROM is there any risk ? I'm not bothered about root, but would like to have the option of 2.2 when I'm not in the UK.
can you point me to a firmware flashing guide ?
Thanks again.
Well this is the latest (generic) rom update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684259
Very easy to install. Just download the .exe to your PC, and open it while your phone is plugged in. The installer will walk you through.
I don't know if it's that simple for branded phones though. You might have to debrand first... I honestly couldn't say. You might ask in that thread and list your FW number. Maybe somebody else will know.
You're sure it's a branded phone, yes? There's no .405 in the version number?
My firmware is : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
I'll ask in the other forum.
Thanks

[Q] Help! Flashing a French model to UK stock

So I received my Arc S today in the UK, and it's a French model - I knew it'd be a European model of some sort when I ordered, so that's fine.
But even though I've set the language to English, I'm still finding a few things in French and it seems like my UK network can't detect what phone I have, and I'm unable to get a data connection.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a generic stock or O2-UK stock rom to it please? I used to have a HTC Sensation and have experience rooting and custom rom'ing with that. My current build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Do I root and flash the stock firmware from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204302
So to build number 4.0.A.2.368, to be clear. Will that give me all the generic/UK stock options instead of French video services, Canal+ and Jeux Gameloft?! I really don't need a custom rom, in fact I want it to be as much like I've just bought it from a UK supply as possible and don't even need rooting or the bootloader unlocked at the end of it if that can be avoided.
Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Thanks! It doesn't seem to have a generic UK firmware - only Central Europe 1/2/3 without listing the difference - but I've emailed Wotanserver to see if they can advise.
Is their method safe, do you know?
