Hi
I recently down loaded and install an Xda II ROM upgrade v172181 (26.5MB) from the UK O2 website.
After the installation finished my XDA11 is no longer working. The screen is completely greyed out
but you can make out the word Serial at the top of the screen and v1.06 at the bottom of the screen.
Other wise it looks totally dead. I have tried the soft and hard reboot (by pressing power button and reset button simultaneously) with out effect.
Any ideas greatly appreciated
Put it back in the cradle as re-start the upgrade. Also make sure the cradle is connected directly to a USB port on your PC and not through a hub, and that the power supply to the cradle is connected.
Life but no action
Hi
thanks for the advise. I now have life in my machine where there was none .
I tried the rom update again but I now get an error 101 stating it can't find my XDA and as for the XDA it stay onat the start screen showing the o2 water sceen.
So if you can work your majic again I might get the benift of this mean machine I have only had it for two days
Thanks again
Hi.
My power button broke off and I was not able to soder it and so now I can't turn it off or on. I have a app that will do this for me but what I really need is to put my xda IIs in BOATLOADER without the need to press, power,record button and soft reset. So I'm asking if anyone knows a way for me to do this without the power button. I have searched and seearched and I really need some help here. I'm running WM5 but I am having problems with the backlight and camera and some of my paid software that will not work. So I want to downgrade to the original rom.
I will be watching this post every hour or so, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
that happened to mine, do you want to just like hard resest your device? THe only way is probable to take your battery out and let the internal battery drain!
I took my phone to my local phone repair shop and they charged £15 to it, apparently it was really difficult to do!
Thanks for the reply andy! I thought this forum was way better than this in helping people out. I appreciate your response. I do know how to give it a hard reset by pressing the camera and record button as I do a soft reset. But what I am trying to do is to get my xda to the bootloader position so I can go back to windows 2003se. From what I have read you can only do that by pressing the power button and the other buttons I wrote above. I have no power button so I'm trying to find out another way to roll back to windows 2003se.
If anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks again.
In the magician shipped-roms there's an executable to do this, maybe for your device too? If there's one you'll recognize it at once, just execute & its gone into Bootloader.
Regards, M
I looked and there is none in my ppc. I also copied that file over from a download I found here and it does not do anything. So far I have the WM5 running pretty fast, faster than ever! I just can't get the backlight to work and the camera. Tried every file and nothing gets this fixed. So I have to use my xda with the backlight in full brightness.
Btw, there is a way to hard reset the device so that it will run really fast. I probably will start another thread showing the steps, I think it is so worth doing it cause my xda now movew really quick.
Thanks for all the help!
Hello,
I hope someone could help me with this because I have been reading this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329079
for more than 3 hours.
(I started reading at 10pm and now it is 1:42am)
and read through every single post (and even every single word).
However, I am still having a problem with upgrading my IPAQ hx2495b
Basically, when I tried to get into the white screen boot loader mode, the screen faded to white and then nothing happens. I do not see any icon (or any graphical shape appear whatsoever) to indicate I am in the boot loader mode, it was just white.
I pressed the contact+iTask+reset button, which I believe is the correct combination.
And the screen shows no reposnse when I pressed and held the calender button.
I was be able to format PS though.
And when I tried to run the update program, it simply said the program failed to connect to ActiveSync.
My current bootloader version is 1.02.00H and I am running on Windows Vista Service Pack 1 using the Windows Mobile Center.
Could someone please let me know what I should do? Many thanks!
Regards
Anyi
OK, problem solved, I just have to work with the white screen! Welcome WM6!!!!!
Really
How id you fix it
you pretty much have to just do everything blindly and hope things will work, which turned out to be the case for me. Good luck!
Try Tommy's ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383173 , it's 6.1 and it's faster (as far as i can tell) than 6.0.

hey guys..
i'm a new member to this site and i found the things talked about a lot interesting.
and would like to try out some of them but currently i think i'm in a diff situation wherein i have a xda iis (blue angel) which has traveled down my family chain for the last few years.
i have absolutely no idea about anything in it.
and somehow it is in bootloader mode through the execution of the enterbl.exe file.
now i'm unable to restart it by hard reset. and am unable to connect to it through mtty.exe
i was looking around in google until i stumbled on here. i did find the information valuable here. but i couldn't find the part to help me out.
has anyone faced such a situation.
i'd be greatful if u could plz help me out.....
We'll try ...
Hey attractiveaki,
Welcome to XDA-Developers forums
We'll sure try to help a fellow BA user get round their troubles!
So, tell us, what have you tried so far?
Have you tried the information on the following page?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_WM5_For_Beginners
And what about removing the battery overnight?
Watching and waiting...
Bird
thanks for the link but i already tried that...
i also tried to hard reset it a number of times but no use.
i tried to open it by connecting it to my laptop but i can't open it in mtty as well
gives an error that the port can not be opened.
also the bootlog mode automatically closes after a few mins and its difficult to come back to even this phase.
ryt now my cell is just completely switched off.
and another thing i had a windows mobile 2003 version not a windows mobile 5.
besides that i dunno anything ..
not even the language code or the area of purchase.
help me if u guys can..
How about this then ... ?
Try the following:
1) press the D-Pad centre button and then the mail button
2) press and hold the power button, then (keeping the button pressed) use the stylus to press the reset button - hold both for 30 seconds and release
Let us know what happens!
Bird
thanks for the tip but no use still....
i tried to remove the batterey overnight but its no use
then this method also is not helping.........
can i have it done at the local mobile shop.
or would that be useless as well...??
Only option

Looks like it's your only option now!
I'd check the prices for a BA on eBay first, just to make sure that you aren't paying anymore than that to have it fixed!?
Sorry I couldn't help

Whats happening with the S?
I had one in 2004 and sold it earlier this year.
Could be the battery is not holding it's charge?
Does it power on when connected to a USB port/mains?
i posted the begining of my problem somewhere on monday but cant remember where. so.....
on monday, the screen on my tmobile dash messed up, now the top half of the screen has white horizontal lines covering it.
well, i called tmobile and the phone was still under warrenty, so got a like new phone sent and it arived today. I went about unlocking it and upgrading to wm6.1 like i had on my last phone. started out with all sorts of problems sycning and i had to reinstall active sync and that seemed to fix it. continued installing the upgrade, the dos program runs i press the center button and i get the red blue green screen and i know from before that that normally means it isn't working, so i reboot the phone, re sync, and re do it and get the red green blue screen again and the update program says it can recover and it leads me through a four step process, upplug, pull bat, reboot and do it again, only it reboots into the red green blue screen, wouldnt sync and when i turned it off, i couldnt get it to power back up. no response from the phone at all. pulled battery many times and all.
What are my options? I know that i agreed to the statment and i have no one to blame but my self. is there anything i can do? i have 7 days to return the half working phone, and i have a feeling that because its unlocked and has wm6.1 on it that tmobile is going to charge me what ever it will be. I have 200.00 in credit with um, and i feel that those fees will take away from that, leave me with an un usable phone, and no money to do anything about it !
a brainstorm, could i just tell tmobile that i got the phone that way? or would they see through my lies?
please please please please help!!!
and thanks a ton in advance.

Okay do this, make sure the phone is off and hold the camera button down for about 5 seconds... this button is located to the right of the keyboard. While still holding it down plug in the phone to the usb and now you should see a tri-colored screen come up. Now you can load the original rom the phone came with... The official roms could be found in the link below... called "official roms" and just download the t-mobile rom... and now you can flash your phone with the original rom...

anyone seen the other half of my thought from the other night? anyone?
Ok, I had found a forum post saying to hold down the SYM button, but couldn't get it working untill I read your reply. Much thanks, the phone is on, and giving me the red green blue screen. I hear the windows alert saying a USB device is plugged in, but active sync wont pick it up. So I'll post about it here, and while I dig through the internet trying to find my cure, I will hope that someone will know what my next step is.
Much much thanks jdoggraz! At least now I know my phone isn't completely dead!
Nick
jdoggraz already told you what to do. YUou do not have to wait for active sync to pick the phone. Just run the exe for the orginal rom.
I have tried to do a hard reset.
Hold the 2 softkeys down(the "-" on each end) for a few seconds, hot the power button down for 2 seconds and then hold the 2 softkeys down and wiat, but nothing happens. Donno why, but may be not being able to hard reset is a clue to whats wrong.
[EDIT]
I have found something about a program called Mtty.exe, and also a UNI_ExitBootLoader But I get a "un able to connect to usb" error with both programs when I try to connect. But, once again, every time I plug the phone into the computer I hear the alert saying a usb device has been attached??
[Another Edit]
I just noticed in Device Manager, under Window CE USB Devices, that my Smartphone USB Sycn Has that nasty Yellow explanation mark next to it.
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

why are you resetting it? you were at the bootloader screen in your last post...right where you needed to be. now you are 2 steps back?
Sorry guys, I guess I wasn't getting a refreshed look at the forum post, and I didn't see any other posts. I went back to what I was told to do in the first place.
I first tried
1.33.422.1 (Worldwide English, WM6)
1.27.405.1 (Worldwide English, WM6)
With both I get:
ERROR [224] : INVALID MODEL ID
This update utility cannot be used for your smartphone. Please check your Update Utility.
And in the lower right there is a string of characters that is different every time.
What am I doing wrong? I'm so frustrated. I followed your instructions =(
[EDIT] OMG I am an idiot, ignore this post. If I wasn't so beat I might have scrolled down and noticed the tmobile DASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pass the hookah brother..i wanna hang out in your world
puff, puff, give... man!....you're [email protected]#ing up the rotation!
An update.
I have gotten wm5 installed and working on my phone. I can't for the life of me get the 6.1 update to work. I get the agreement, press the center button and it goes back to the OS, the phone then locks up, and I have to restart it to re sycn.
This is very time consuming! The phone takes for ever to start. I also want to note that I upgraded my last dash with little problems, but this dash has been nothing but a head ache. WHY?!?!? I am not looking forward to being stuck with this phone.
Thanks everyone, for all the help. I went a little off course last night, I was falling asleep trying to get this thing working.
puff puff pass
