DEAD XDA2

My XDA2 has gone dead, it no longer responds to anything. what do i do to bring it back.
Whilst i was updating it, it had erased the system ready to install hte new update it came up with an error telling me to disconect the USB and then reconeect it. I did this but noticed that the phone had gone dead and wouldn't pick up on the laptop using active sync.
Is there anyway to bring the phone back. if anybody knows please help.
Thank you

what's showing on your screen? is it totally blank or is there something written like "usb version...something"? if yes or no; do a couple of hard resets...this brings back the unit to the bootloader mode. from there put it back on the cradle and as expected activesync will not do a thing. but what you do is double click on the upgrade file on your pc and from there it should start again. a couple of chaps in the forum ran into the same problem. what they did was continuously do resets (soft and hard) until the screen showed something.
don't fret, your unit just got stuck somewhere and simply needs a kick in the bum.
cheers

Maybe this can help you because it just happen to me last 2 days ago with my XDAmini.
1. Push the power and camera with the softreset pin together.
2. It will bring you to the bootloder mode. Then plug the USB sync cable to your unit.
3. Run the rom upgrade again. It will flash from there.
Hope this help.

DOPOD 900 dead after upgrade

My DOPD - bought in China was running a chinese version of WM5.0 and I wanted to install a english version.
After upgrading my DOPOD 900 with the upgrade : Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip I have problem.
It is really DEAD. soft reset does nothing and a hard reset only gives the option of "0" and "X" which do nothing.
the USB is no longer recognised and nothing seems to want to communicate with the Dopod. It seems the USB loader program is no longer running on the Dopod.
Has anybody any idea how I can attach to the device an install a new bootloader, or something.

I had the same issue and I have a solution. But, let me tell you my process that got me where you are.
I tried performing the update using the No_ID (or whatever) method and kept getting errors. I rebooted my PC and changed the Operator ID using the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.
After this, I was able to use the typical installer. The flash went fine and I hard reset as instructed. From that point on, I had your exact problem.
A dead screen. I was able to redo the hard reset after pulling the battery but I would just end up with the dead (blank) screen again. ONCE, I did get it into boot loader mode where I could actually read the screen. But, of course I reset and again had a dead screen.
My solution was to revert back to a true O2 ROM. Even though I couldn't see the screen (still can't), the ROM update is proceeding as I type this. I'm at 44% of the radio ROM installed.
Hope this gives you hope!

Well, good news. I just finished the ROM update and I'm looking at the O2 boot image.
Is there any indication that the QTek ROM looks for the Carrier info to be QTek or it will fail once installed? Just wondering why I had this problem.

ARG! Reflashing with QTek ROM did the same thing. :evil:
Blank screen and all.

check 2 things
uncheck usb from active sync
hardreset after upgrade has been completed
just do the upgrade again and it should come alive again

Thanks and another question
Well thanks for the hope. but I have tried this already with no luck, however after this message I will try again. My biggest problem is that I cant regain communication over the usb.
I would like to know how your system behaved when you plugged in your apparantely dead device. My system just says device un recognised and I cant begin a download with or without active sync.
So I cant get another rom image to download.
regards
Nick

This was the first thing I did.
The problem is that I cannot get any communication over the USB.
The device is unrecognised on USB and after starting any ROM download it just timesout after "checking information from device" message .
Ever seen a dead USB interface like this ?
The USB PnP mgr sees the hardware but cannot establish the device type !!

@mobinick: You and I have the same situation.
I have 2 Universal dead like this. 1 Exec and 1 Jasjar.
Both dead, blank screen, can not enter bootloader, can not connect with PC. PC can not recognize the driver usb of the device.
I opened the phone and found that logically everything is so so. There is no clue about hardware.
So I think: the address of the bootloader with device ID maybe unlucky damaged.
Who can fix this problem pls share us some experience.
Thanksss

Why don't you guys take it to your respective service centres and get it fixed?
Even if you have to pay something, it will certainly be better than these bricks occupying table space.

Have you tried going back to an original O2 ROM? I went to 1.13.139 WWE and all is fine now.

Just to share my experience with you guys here:
I posted my problem way back during the Radio Upgrade from 1.04 to 1.06. My Dopod 900 got stuck on the splashscreen. I couldn't get my device to pass the splashscreen even after upgrading/downgrading the radio ROM back and forth two times.
Finally, I just forced my device into bootloader mode (Backlight+Reset+Power). Even after doing this, the dopod screen was completely blank (no indication of serial/usb letter on the screen). I downloaded the official O2 exec ROM and plug my device (in bootloader mode) back to the USB port. It said unrecognized port on my PC. Despite that, I reflashed my Dopod back with the NoID tool the complete O2 ROM (Radio, Main ROM & The extended). Once completed, my device regained its consciousness.
I managed to flashed back the 1.06 radio after that. And has since been upgraded 4 times (two i-mate, one Orange and the latest QTek ROM) with no problem whatsoever.

I had the exact same problem as you to guys, i tried to update it, and it wouldn't budge...
It constantly, without fail timed out... I tried everything...
As my hope started to wain, i gave it one last shot...
I took out everything, sim and sd and battery, then connect the battery back and from the bootloader menu, connected it to the pc, with usb cable...
Finally it worked!! Like normal, i was able to load any and all rom and radio updates...
Wouldn't work, from the normal working screen (which was working for a while, i later tested this out, and found out ) and also wouldn't work, from the bootloader (power+backlight+reset) with sim+flash in there....
Hope you guys have some luck.. I htink you should, because i was in the exact same boots as you guys...

It worked for me
My O2 Exec did exactly the same thing, and I spent (on and off) 24 hours trying to get the damn thing to go again - wouldnt charge either....
I too finally took out everything, SIM and sd and battery, then connect the battery back and from the bootloader menu (which I only found about from this site), connected it to the pc, with usb cable...
It worked as well - bloody brilliant. I now have the latest 02Exec Upgrade (Version 1.30.162 AKU2 Release) and all is great.
Cant believe that 2 days after logging email with O2 site, they have not responded...
Would almost kiss you guys.....

I take it you are using (or have access to) Windows XP? If so, try rolling back to WM2003SE using this Dell utility: http://ftp.us.dell.com/utility/R115117.EXE
You can then stick with WM2003SE or try upgrading again to WM5 A03 (by following the directions from the beginning for upgrading to WM5 A03). For the future, never try flashing your device unless you have a "plan of escape" *BEFORE* you begin flashing incase something goes wrong.

Thanks Cavyman for the quick response. yes i do have XP but my X50v dosent come up at all. The only time the power light comes on is when i place it in the cradle. Otherwise it is brick. not even the power light comes on. the utility i downloaded also continues to say please connect the device.

If you do the SD Image Loader button combination, can you get to the SD Image Loader?

restoring the ROM on my Ipaq hx2795

I just got an Ipaq hx2795 and I upgraded to WM6, and it worked perfectly!. However, I saw a supposedly upgraded version of WM6 and i tried to install it, and too hastily I think. I did it without first removing my SD and CF cards. the upgrade said it went through ok on the PC, but it froze on the PPC, about halfway. ever since then, I've only been able to bring up the pda in pre-BL mode. Whenever I attempt to re-load any ROM (WM5 or WM6), I get the error message that the language of my current ROM is unknown and hence, the upgrade cannot go through. To further complicate my problem, I was trying to recover it about 3 nights ago and accidentally left the pda on all night in pre-BL mode. Now I think the battery is dead and I do not know how to charge it. Is there any resource or anyone that can help me with this problem? Is there a way to load the rom and Ignore the language setting on the Ipaq? What should I do now? HELP!!
Please let me know ASAP and Thanks!!

No-one replied to my post, but no matter.... I sorted it out and my bricked Ipaq is now fully functional again using WM6!!
Bless

Hi, how did you recovered your IPAQ, I feel I will have to do the same... tks

ipaq 2410 wm6 like a dream is very good

resore my hx2110
hello, can i know how u do that? i face the same problem too. i am using hx2110. i flashed wm6, however, can enter pre BL mode only.
Now i think all the battery are gone and can't enter pre BL mode. i connect it to ac adapter, but can't charge my device.
please help

I have ipaq hx2795,PC canceld upgrade at 50%, and ipaq lost info about model, language, now i can't finish an upgrade or return to previous version, is it possible to fix it?

I think i may have bricked my O2 XDA EXEC

hey.
i wanted to upgrade my o2 Xda Exec to WM6, i am not a stranger to flashing, and enjoy modifying consoles and such.
however i am running windows vista, and got the connection error (yes, i read through the stickies first) I was now stuck on the bootloader screen, no matter what i could do, and none of the utitlities, including mtty would work.
upon deeper research i learned that vista was a problem for flashing.
So i took my xda to a windows xp machine that i had freshly set up the day before:
installed active sync,
installed drivers,
disconected xda,
unchecked activesync usb connections,
restarted,
Installed "XDA_EXEC_WWE_21200_21207_11500.exe"
It then appeared to succesfully work.
upon hard rebooting though, i now have no screen, no bootloader, and no connectivity, hard rebooting brings up the white screen, upon hitting 0, nothing happens... i fear it is now bricked....
Will not charge, no orange light comes on when plugged either directly into power, or directly into computer.
its now an "Unknown Device" in vista and a "device thats malfunctioned" in xp, i cant connect anything too it.
mtty wont give me any options other than COM, on vista or xp.
can anybody offer any oppinions?
This is the device in question:
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec.html

Vista doesn't have any problems! I have flashed my XDA so many times under Vista that I count them! You only need the right driver that have been posted several times here in the forums! It is not Vista's fault the the stupid flash utility is as old as the earth itself!

i tried updating the drivers before flashing, with the ones i downloaded from here, but it said i couldnt as the drivers i had were better, even after uninstalling and re installing...
as a side note i found this if its of interest to anybody:
offical xda upgrade
http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe

I have updated them manualy! And everything is fine! You only need to kill Sync center and Mobile device Center from task manager before flashing!

ok, well can anybody help me understand whats happened?
are there any steps i can take to diagnose any further, or will i write it off as a brick/
i tried updating the drivers manually, and it didnt work, mobile device center was disabled as well. yet something went wrong, it wouldnt connect, but it got far enough to wipe my rom. i had no version numbers of anything, and just a bootloader screen, after trying to upgrade with windows xp, i now have no response at all from my xda, it wont charge or anything.
can anybody help me diagnose any further? or help me understand what went wrong, if its not a case of windows vista and old programs.

Same for me ...

If you have noy figured it out yet then i would say i have exactly the same problem with my xda exec and i proved to be installation problem, what i did was, reflashed with original wm5 ROM first, after setting it up completelyi then flashed again with wm6, problem resolved automatically... so good news is your xda is still very much alive.i used windows XP though... give it a try mate!!

Manual bootloader mode and then reflash with an original rom of your choice.
That'll do the trick.
Psi

diffrences ??
hey can anyone enlighten me on wats the difference between o2 cda exec and imate jasjar ?? coz both seems to have the same specification and same functionality?

DEAD XDA brought back to life
I recently upgraded my XDA Exec to WM6 with no problems so offered to do same for my sisters XDA Exec but part way through activesync crashed. Needless to say after that her XDA was dead wouldn't do anything at all and appeared to have no usb connection no charging nothing. After a hard reset I did get the reset screen but pressing "0" or "x" did nothing.
After much reading of many forums I couldn't find the answer to this and so I had to give my sister mine Boo Hoo!!
Anyway not one to give up this is how I fixed it
I happen to have the XDA plugged into a different usb port to what I normally use and done a hard reset on it then pressed "0" then the PC popped up saying found new hardware and it was installed and working so I looked hard at the unlit and what appeared to be blank screen of the XDA I noticed then it said "usb" at the top and "2.0" at the bottom so I ran http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/Xda_..._v1.30.162.exe which doesn't need activesync even though it say it does on the start screen just carry on it found it ok and now its all back and working ok.
This may not work for you but the usb thing is easy to miss if you use the same port all the time and the instructions tell you you need activesync to run the flash program is misleading. Just to note I did have activesycn 4.5 installed and running when I run the xda up date exec but I'm certain it played no part in the process.
Of course I wish I had found this before I spent £150 on a replacement
anyone need an XDA Exec for Xmas????

wohooo free xda?me!me!

please help

I rather think that you should first check whether your phone is really bricked, to read the instructions regarding this and to see how to recover from the brick
After you have recovered you phone, I recommend that you use Windows Mobile 6.5!
Thanks!
Always glad to help!
