radio rom error after changing it so many times

Hi All,
Hope you can help. Have played with multitued of roms, crossbow and aku3.x.. changed radios alot. Now I can't seem to change the rom anymore, using official files or maupgradeut tool. Get error 114. It says about to update.. the progress bar never moves and after half minute will time out with the error. Changing CE and ExtRom is fine.
Any ideas?

did you connect your device trough a usb hub or somekind maybe?
I had that problem.
try this:
- Put the device in BL
- start your AC on your pc and disable all connection options
- connect the device on a free usb port, directly on the pc
this should work

Also please use the original cable. This is particularly important for Radio upgrade. If all else please try upgrading from a different PC.

cheers for tips. I will try these.. I think I've poached a cable from a pc peripheral as I'm at work :-D

i'm having the same problem and sadly i want to aware you .... there is no solution for this till now! i have spent a lot of time by now and my universal is still a brick.... just like somebody said... a 1000$ paper weight
tell me if you get through of this.... i know the solution is to get the mother board changed.......

Did your IMEI get changed already once? (motherboard)
My Uni died on me after flashing I think it was a Imate rom and it went back for repairs, they changed the board (therefore the Imei).
Since then no problems anymore.
Could be that your device is still original, I think the early devices atleast had problems with a corrupt eeprom or something which could lockup after flashing.

XDA dead on rom update

Hi
I have just tried to update the rom on my xda exec (downloaded from the o2 microsite) it seems to load fine, but when i do a reboot I just get a wierd green & red speckled screen.
I have tried to update the rom twice now, once when the xda was on, & once from the bootloader screen.
Both times it seems to install correctly, but i get the strange screen.
HELP!!!
Add. My battery seemed to go to about 30% whilst i was updating. Could it be the battery? Can't charge it now to test. Can still get in bootloader screen.
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks

Same Here
I have exactually the same problem!
I downloaded the latest ROM from the My-XDA webiste (O2 Ireland) and it supports the XDA Exec as sold in UK and Ireland.
The upgrade goes fine but when I hard reset it just get a fuzzy screen full of red/green spots (lise interferance on a TV).
Have reinstalled the ROM from another PC and the same thing.
Can access the bootloader (v2.01) with no problem.
Have downloaded the ROM from another PC and tried from there and same thing?
Can anyone help?
Is there a known good ROM file that someone has used to rule out the file, as the XDA was fine until I ran the update.
Please help,
IrishLad

search be4 post

Update
I have tried 2 other ROM's on my XDA Exec and its exactually the same issue.
Once it gets flashed successfully and reboots i get the hazed screen which i cannot use. So its not the ROM file.
Has anyone got help with this, I have searched the posts already and found no solution that it why I have posted this thread.
Please Help,
Thanks,
IrishLad

So its not just me then! Thought I had cocked it up.
If this has already come up in these forums, I cant find it. Please at least send link to the previous problem if it is in here somewhere.
My XDA is dead!
Many thanks for your time & knowledge
Mark

try this one
try this configuration :
O2 XDA EXEC WM6 crossbow
Rom version : 2.02.00 WWE
ROM date : 03/10/07
Radio ROM : 1.15.00
Protocol version : 42.51.P8
ExtROM :UNLOCKED
have fun

the screen is funky but the xda is dead
I too am having this problem and am getting very frustrated.
I have searched the forum for hours and am not getting any closer to a sollution.
If anyone has resolved this problem in the past please send me a private message. I will love you forever if you do.

I had the same problem i think its a dodgy rom on the O2 website
I went into boot mode and used this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297256
Works a treat and is loads better than the normal o2 Rom

Thanks for the feedback
I have tried a few ROM's already with no success.
I will however try the ROM you posted and let you know if it works...
Thanks,
IrishLad

IT WORKED!
Not sure how, or why this worked.
But i installed the Crossbow ROM as listed previous and its working.
And can I just say the Exec is brillant now, its much faster, more responsize and works perfectly.
Thanks for the info, but I had tried 2 different ROM's previously and they never worked let I used one previously with no problems.
Either way I am now staying with Mobile 2006.
Thanks,
IrishLad

ukron is a god
YIPEEEEE!

PLEASE ASSIST: I'VE RECENTLY UPGRADED MY CINGULAR/ATT 8525 HERMES UNIT TO WINMOB6 AND NOW CAN'T GET PAST THE INITIAL WINDOWS MOBILE SCREEN WHERE IT SAYS "TAP THE SCREEN TO SET UP YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE BASED DEVICE." (THE TOUCHSCREEN SEEMS TO BE DISABLED) ALSO, NOW ACTIVESYNC WILL NOT CONNECT TO THE DEVICE. I'M AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT ELSE TO DO (TRIED HARD RESET SEVERAL TIMES WITH SAME RESULT). IF SOMEONE COULD POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION - I'D SURE APPRECIATE IT.

hmm no need to scream.
Push the OK on left and power on right, and stick stylus in all at the same time. Re run the exe file while it is plugged in to active sync, and see. Which WM6 did you use?

Sorry I'm new at this. I used WM6.1. Which exe file do you want me to re-run. ActiveSync is offline....I can't get it to connect to the unit. Thanks for your assistance.

Ok, since you're on ATT I suggest you follow my instruction above, get into tricolour screen (bootloader), and download this
from the post above you will get the shipped ATT rom. Don't worry if activesync is saying is not connected, just run the file. You will then get back to a WM6.

The phone originally came with WM5 and I was upgrading to mess around with the thing. I'm at the tricoloured screen and now downloading the files from RapidShare. Will this get me back to WM5 or to the upgrade. If there is a way, I like to try the HardSPL flash I've been reading about today - will this work on either WM version? Txs & Rgds.

After you have flashed this WM6.0 you really need to flash hard SPL first, I thought you would have done that already.
Really please read this first before you brick your phone.

No that's the thing. I'm just finding out how I went about this all wrong and maybe shouldn't have been messing this in the first place. Anyhow, my bootloader screen reads like this:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olipro

Well follow mrvanx guide, that's all I had to get on with few months ago.

Many thanks for the advice. So just to be clear I should first run the file I downloaded from RapidShare to get me back to a working WM version, then follow mrvanx guide to flash Hard SPL or viceversa...

Nope, didn't work. Here's the report:
ERROR [260]: UPDATE ERROR
The update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA phone.
Check the following:
1. The PDA Phone is connected to the USB cradle/cable.
2. The USB cradle/cable is connected to the PC.
Is there another way to establish comunication with the PDA other than through ActiveSync? Somekind of emulator box or binary software???

hmm weird, so have you got .net framework installed on your PC? try it again one more time while in bootloader, plug the phone to USB as long as you can hear the 'ding' sound you should be OK. I have 'bricked' my phone a few times and this always work. What are you trying to flash? the hardspl or the ROM?

Yes, today I upgraded to .net framework 3.5 when ActiveSync failed Microsoft Error took me to their website and offered me the option. I had been running 2.x .net framework and never had a problem would also use same ActiveSync with my old Axim X30.
Yes, I can hear the 'ding' sound and I was trying to run the file RUUWrapper.exe (Hermes ROM Upgrade w/ the option Force using SSPL).

well that shows the other way around doesn't work, so you need to get your phone to a working WM6 state, how is your download going from rapidshare? get it to boot loader mode again and flash that exe file.

Just completed that route - I ran the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.12.3.7 - the process took about 10 minutes to go through 100%, then it restarted and stayed at the Window Mobile screen for little over minute (crossing my fingers), but then just showed the same message "Tap the screen to set up your Window Mobile based device." Please let me know if you have other avenues to try – It’s close to 4am here in Miami, but I'm not sleeping. I’m really glad you are able to assist with this mess – thanks a lot!

Okay good day, I'm back on the trail. Found shipped ROM on WIKI for HERMES in the following thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277664
Downloading now...According to pof(moderator) it's a "new rom from the still unreleased Cingular 8525: HTC Hermes (HERM100) branded from U.S. Operator Cingular"
My only question then would be that this appears to be made for WM5 and I performed the WM6 upgrade which is what got me into this mess in the first place - so will there be any conflicts or issues I should now about? I'm about to go ahead with it - if anyone is out there and thinks otherwise, please advise soonest. Thx & rgds, Ed

Sounds good man!! Flash it!! oem WM6 roms usually fix allot of issues.. Don't be scared everyone else is busy flashing WM6.1 roms all the time now!

Thanks for the words of support <joshkoss>! Just attempted several times to flash the Shipped ROM I found from <pof> (PDA Phone ROM Update Utility - R:31300 D:51000 U:31101 P:0) and keep getting ‘ERROR[260]: UPDATE ERROR’ message. While instead I went back again to flashing the ROM that <zocster> suggested last night (PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.12.3.7) and it does go through the entire 10 minute process until it shows 100% completion both on the PDA and on the PC and then tells me congratulations….etc. I even flashed it twice back-to-back as I read to do in one of the threads – but just keep getting back to the dreaded Window Mobile screen with the same message "Tap the screen to set up your Window Mobile based device."
My next question is this: Why does the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.12.3.7 connect to the PDA, but the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility - R:31300 D:51000 U:31101 P:0 (which I read is the Shipped ROM that I need to get the PDA back to) gives me an error message. Obviously, there is a connection since I’m able to get a 100% completion on the other ROM??? Please kindly advise…..

I've soft-reset, hard-reset, followed and understood and read every instruction but I just cannot get it to upgrade. The phones unlocked, the apps are unlocked. I've tried it without redoing the applock exe. I'm stuck. Any advice before I call it a day and keep my greedy wanting nature under control. All help much appreciated.

active-sync problem
well, ive followed every single instance from all the options available and everything goes fine until it gets to the actual updating point and then active-sync cuts off,10 seconds later i get error 260 saying im not connected. Ive left it all alone to see if it will update as the usb cable is still attached but no. I havent had this problem with any other phone update or unlock or debranding. Ive noticed on google that others have the same problem and they were told to leave it running and it will continue to update but on all the options ive left it overnight and it hasnt updated and neither has theirs. All help stops after everyone else has done what ive done, its too near xmas to drown my sorrows but, thanks for help n have a lovely xmas n new year

When you press the center button and the screen turns white do you hear the chime windows make when a USB device is disconnected?

Well, actually when you flash your activesync shut offs but your USB connection stills active, so that's normal.
Did you sda unlock your phone before you flashed?. You should do this every time you flash (well that's why I do), also make sure you remove your sd card; because these can cause error messages while you flash.
Other option can be try another PC or reinstall activesync, sometimes my laptop gets crazy and I get multiple errors when I flash, but when I use my desktop flashing goes smooth

yes I sda unlocked every time....i only have a lappy....i remove my sd card...i will uninstall n reinstall active sync.....I'll check out if any of my daughters' friends have desktops to see if I can do it that way. I shall try all that over xmas n new year n ill let you know how I get on. Many Thanx....

is there no update on this situation? because i am currently attempting to flash a rom for my friends dash and i am having the same connection error problems. and she has a windows vista laptop. i am not sure if that is what the problem is. convinced its not the cord. during the update process it just disconnects once it gets to about 3 percent.

Please save sarcasm when responding. I have been reading and would onlt ask for help a last option.
My phone - HTC Pro 2 (I bought it from a authorized t-mobile store)
Need help with - ugrading it to 6.5 or any cooked version that will work
History - my phone is already unlocked as I had unlock kings do it. I tested it and I can put any sim it and it works fine.
Problem - every time I try and install a new rom on it I get one the follwing errors or issues: My usb connection stop when the install starts and the process times out, or I get a host of errors messeges from invild device to wrong version.
I need very simple instructions on what I need to do upgrade my os and then later migrate to some of the really roms I have seen on this site.
Please help.

Did you hardSPL? If not go here: HardSPL

Nothing
I DL'ed the fle and followed directions (auto option). Nothing happened.

When you read those 11 steps in the HSPL thread, where is it, where you say: nothing happends?

As it stands, you will only be able to install an official T-Mobile ROM if it is a T-Mobile-branded phone.
So installing HardSPL will let you flash whatever ROM you want, any of the official ones (including, say, HTC official 6.5), or one of the fine cooked ones from this forum.
If you are having trouble with HardSPL, you really need to post on that in the HardSPL sticky.

no matter what I do, the connection always times out. It seems my phone will not allow anything rom software to be installed. Where can I find enableapnew.cab? The rom software told me i needed that.

@bigdaddy67
This sounds like a USB issue, try this:
1. Power off your TP2
2. Press and HOLD the volume down button, press and HOLD power button until you see the multi-coloured screen (bootloader mode)
3. Connect your TP2 to your computer via USB
4. You should now see the letters USB at the bottom of the TP2 screen
5. If you DO, run hardSPL
If you DON'T, try a different USB cable and/or port on your computer.
If none of the above helps, take a screen shot of your bootloader screen and post it.
How to get a screenshot:
1. Go to http://www.mymobiler.com and download/install the software.
2. Open it and take a screen shot
3. Post it here.
We are here to help, but need some additional details!!!

Also, which OS are you running on your PC? If its Windows XP, make sure you download Active Sync and install/run it. If you run Vista / 7, make sure you run the Mobile Device Center.

moved you're thread out of rom dev section, best of luck sir.

Update -
My OS is win xp and copied and installed the cab on my device. then I re-powered hold down the volume and got that tri-color screen with the usb connected. Started the HardSP app and have been waiting for 15 minutes as nothing seems to be working.
Did I miss something?

Got error 262
Ok I finally got an 262 error. I am not what I missed. Dl'ed the cab re-powered holding down vol key started HardSp app.
Help.
