Downgrading? no problem

I figured this out by accident..
I upgraded to windows mobile 2003 SE 2.06 but after I found out that half of the programs (MMS composer, cammera, etc..) dont work, due to incompatibility (error message says they are incompatible) I wanted to downgrade.
I ran the same ROM instalation (2003 SE 2.06) and waited for it to erase my ROM, then I took the phone out of cradle. I was dead at that point. I removed main battery, put it back in. Reboot the phone in bootloader mode (hold down D pad in centre position, then power button and soft reset - all at the same time). Then I put the phone back into the cradle and ran the ROM instalation of my choice. No more problems.

Well, I think using SD card method may be saver.
However, I forgot how to do this.
Cheers,

Same thing, I badly need to downgrade to 1.72 or 1.66. I tried it, it did not work. I was was adviced that there is a 1.66 SD version which is safe and possible to apply, any advice where can I find it???
Bty, MTUX 1.4 Ring tone, and other software runs very slow and creats porblems with 2.06!! Beside 2.06 hard reset by itself on weekly basis!!!
Any advice where to find 1.66 SD version?

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

ppc problem: white screen after upgrade

Hi there, new guy here and with a big problem
i have a bluemedia pda 255, from what i understand it's the same thing with mio 168 (or not?), anyway, it was using a windows mobile 2003 SE in german and i tried to change it to english using a .bin image i found on the web.
now when it starts all i see is a white screen and nothing more, and that wouldnt be such a big problem if i could enter the upgrade tools mode, but i cant do that either, so it simply stays all blank all the time. I can connect it to my pc via usb and i can browse all the pda's files using activesync, but that's all i can do.
Before i started i've made a backup using activesync and another backup using osloader. Now i've tried the activesync backup and i get an error message telling me that the backup version is different from the one on the pocket pc.
The .ppcrom file that i've made using osloader i dont know how to use it to restore my old OS withouth having to access the pda (sience i cant).
from what i understand, there is a way to fix it using JTAG, but that's science fiction to me (i only had this pda for about two days, and this is my first pda also, so i'm a real newbie), i cant find any sort of professional service in this town to get help from them.
so... any help, any help at all would be welcomed

...is there nobody?

Hi,
I do not have the pda you have but do have some advice.
You keep saying "from what i understand" , did you get this "understanding" from this site or another?
If you got it here, please post your problem to the forum thread that has the info.
If you got it elsewhere, you may want to post there and see what response you can get.
Not trying to be cavalier here but a person can only help if they have had the experience of the pda you own, if they do not, they most likely will not post advice.
Good luck.

well. no... my understanding did not came from here, i have it from a thread started in 2005 (other site)and i asked there also, i also agree that someone can help only if he has the experience of this pda...
which is more likely why i find myself in this situation, i think i followed the upgrade guide from another pda
and about the advice, sience at this moment all i can do with the pda is to throw it at the garbage, im willing to try anything on it
id even try the jtag thingie, that requires me to open up the pda and mess around inside, but i have a great lack of info about the subject and no expertise whatsoever
kind thanks for your advices, as i said before, they are welcomed!

ok, something else then, does anyone have the RUU? the rom update utility in german for my kind of ppc? thanks

I have the same problem !
"English ROM wince2003se for MIO 168
Full working tested on a mio 168 , on a Bluemedia 255 and on a yakumo 300 GPS
" - http://home.scarlet.be/lataupe/W2003se_MIO168_168WWER27.rar ,but the result is blank screen and I have no idea how to fix the problem ? Any advice ?

Read the User Manual, there you can see how to do a HARD RESET to let your TOUCH as new.

Thanks a lot User22, your guidance really worked, it is again virgin now...
but i am not able to understand one thing when all the executables were corrupted then how come it is able restore all the factory default, is it already having copy of initial files somewhere.

No everything is in the ROM, and always will. Your software changes stay in a user writable area, that are erased when doing a hard reset, thus leaving the original stuff in ROM.

daxian x999 rom update

Hi All,
first of all... if this question is being asked at the wrong place.. please let me know ;-)
Well.. i have a question.. I have a daxian x999 and want to upgrade the OS.. The OS on this device isn't fast and can be quite unstable sometimes..
anyone can tell me how i can upgrade this device?? I'm a complete newbie on this one.. so any help would be appreciated..
thanks!!!

no one has a clue??

Rom
hi there!
the problem with the daxian x999 is, that until now no one managed to extract the bootloader!
i tried almost every software i found here... no success!
i was able to extract the rom, but that doesn´t help too much
and another thing that is very sad, is that no one from the "knowing Guys" here is interested in helping us!!!
there was just one senior member trying to help me... (thanx again the_eqionoxe!!!)
i expected some more help from a forum with that much experience...
regards
chuckbert

You say you were able to extract the rom, please share how you did this ....

Sorry i found it in the very next search

As far as I know it should be presented in the form of a imgfs file (can be cooked by any kitchen). (*but I am not 100 % shure, I don't have a daxian to experiment with)
But I am unaware about the XIP format .
If we had a look @ a original update.img then we could say how it was compiled, and hopefully port other rom's to it.

any have yep put 6.1 on this phone?

I have a daxian x999 but its in chinese & if i cant get it exchanged will want to change the windows rom to an english one - cant find the english rom though (& need to learn how to do it too lol)

I used SPB backup to restore my data, and stopped it midway, now my power button does not turn on the screen. So I have to wait for a phone call to come in for the screen to come on.
Anyone know if I use an editor for registery if there is a place to turn this back on.
Thanks, if not, then I will start to research how to get deeper into the phone, as it is useless to me know.

Have u tried a soft reset?????? or maybe a "master clean up" as it is called on the phone???

also if someone here is going deep into the phone, can some1 figure out how to 'manage' the accelerometer for the current application/settings of it seem pretty dull... i don't know if it helps, but the process which rotates the screen is called acc_ap and you can find it in the start up folder

Yes, I tried the soft reset, memory clear, and hard 3-button reset, no joy.

nobody tried with pdocwrite as MUN_rus has done with HTC wizard G4??
WARNING This device needs OTHER drivers than a HTC ELF(in), so make sure you cook a ROM with the proper drivers!!.
You can probably dump the rom by the reverse command pdocread..
Haven't tried it myself, as I have stated before, I have no daxian 999 to experiment with myself..
