Hi,
I hope no one has asked this elsewhere - I looked, but didn't find anything similar.
I have an XDA Exec, which I tried to upgrade the software on today. Ever since I am unable to turn it on. I get as far as the O2 screen with the red writing and that's it.
No amount of soft resetting, hard resetting, taking the battery out or pleading to its better nature will help.
Has anyone else had this problem and how do I solve it?
Because I can't turn it on I can't even get my computer to recognise it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
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.

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!
Hi, new to the site but already got loads of tips and adice, thanks. Wonder if someone could help me with this one. I have recently purchased an XDA IIs, everything was woking fine untill I tried to update the software from the O2 website, now my device is dead, even with the battery off (for 4 hours now) it says SERIAL at the top of the screen and v2. 02 at the bottom. The device now will not sync with my computer, will not turn on, charge or respond in any way, I have reset using the button along with pressing the on/off button, what else can I do or is it now shagged.
Thank you in advanse..
Regards
Paul

At first i thought it was nothing, so i would restart the phone. But then came another issue, after the restart the device would take even longer respond to any command. It would just hang during phone calls also would have isseu with opening the contact etc. I even tried to Hard reset the darn thing but it would not work and would just keep hanging on me.

Hi everyone! I have had my Excalibur for some months now and have SIM-unlocked it, and updated with the latest roms to WM 6.1.
Today, something peculiar happened. When connecting to my computer, it started connecting and disconnecting all the time. No synchronization was made. And when making or receiving phone calls, only the external loudspeaker works. Is this a common / known / fixable problem? Or has my Excalibur gone from being one of my prized possesions to an expensive paperweight?
Other than the connection issues and loudspeaker (attaching a headset does no difference - all sound comes from the loudspeaker), the phone seems to work OK. I've done a har dreset (two action buttons pressed when powering up, etc.) but to no avail.
Any help to shed some light on what might have happened is greatly appreciated! I hope, hope, hope it's some software issue.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
look why dont you take out the baterry and put it back.
after you done that hold and press the camera button then the bootloader
screen will show up.connect it and flash it with the original rom your phone kame with. that solved my issue.
i bricked mine too but in a different way... i have the latest ricky wyatt rom on mine and it has been working fine for a long time until my friend turned the overclock all the way up on the phone and now when the phone starts it is frozen on the home screen..... can anybody help he? has anyone had this problem before?
nvrmind..... did a bootload reset which set the device to factory defaults.
Hi,
I Have a problem with my O2 orbit. The power but will stop responding when the device is locked in standby (power button pressed after locked), the lights on the top of the orbit will continue flashing but it wont turn back on.
I thought it was a curropt OS so i reflashed the original wm5 back onto the orbit and it seemed ok, so I then flashed the o2 release of wm6 onto it, and then started installing all my programs. Soon after this i locked it and put it into standby, about 20mins later i couldn't switch it back on. Thinking it may be one of my progrmas that has caused this I hard resetes but same thing happened again!
This is not the first time this has happened to me, 4 months after i first got the orbit (about this time last year) the same thing happened and O2 replaced it. Then in easter it happened again, O2 sent it off for repair and it came back apparently fixed. But here we are 8 months later with the same problem.
Has anybody else experienced this? Does anyone know a solution? Is it a problem with the software? Or maybe the firmware? Or is it a hardware problem and I am screwed?
Thanks in advanced if anyone can help!
Futher Developments
I have been experimenting on different roms with the problem, i loaded up Carty's Fastest WM6.1 rom, and the orbit worked. I slowly reinstalled the programs i had installed. The program seemed to work, then when S2U2 was installed it seemed to die again.
I previously flashed back to WM5 and then reupgraded back to WM6 and only installed the SDHC driver an hour later. Before this the device seemed ok, but then sometime after (not sure as it was in my pocket) it died again.
So I am unsure if it is a problem with hardware or if it is the S2U2 causing it, or the SDHC? or both?
Has anyone had any of these problems? I'd really like some help, I would hate to have to keep using my stone age nokia!
I GIVE UP!!!
Ok, the final verdict is that it must be a hardware issue. I have tried just running normal roms, and i get the same problems when no software is installed.
When i return home after new years i shall take into o2 and hope they can either fix or replace it for the 3rd time. Im still shocked that this has happened 3 times to me and it seems to of never happened to anyone else on this site, strange!
Oh well, it could be worse! Thanks, though no-one really helped, thanks just for the existence of such a brilliant site!!!!
