will MTTY help me??

I have a o2 xda exec that only responds if i do a hard reset then all i get is the 0 or X options and then nothing whatever i choose.
where can i get mtty from and will it help

is the Bootloader screen where it says 'Press 0 to restore... X to exit?'
i have found a version of MTTY but it only has com1 & com2.
i now realise i did not do a soft reset after upgrading the rom....

the version of MTTY i have is 1.11a
my o2 xda exec is less than 24hrs old. i have already broken it.
I cant beleive O2 ships with such an old ROM. I bought it for push email so i have to upgrade the ROM. But now its useless and I am in trouble!

ok well i have mtty1.42 now but still that only shows com1 or com2
Please can someone tell me if the '0 or X' screen is the bootloader?

No, the bootloader screen is when you hold down the backlight button on the front of the device, the power button, and then use your stylus to tap the reset button. You will then see "Serial" up at the top and probably V. 1.00 at the bottom. It will not be a lighted screen, but dark gray. Make sure that ActiveSync is not in use. If you're not sure hold alt-ctrl-delete until task manager appears then click on Processes and look for something like wscecom.exe (spelling is wrong) but this is ActiveSync. Click on this and end this process, this should free up your USB and then you can enable MTTY and plug your device back in, start up MTTY and you should see the USB port to the left below the COM's. This worked for me. I am still stuck at the blue splash screen though...
Take care,

hey thanks alot!
it worked i now see usb in mtty. I am trying the upgrade again - fingers crossed!
what a crazy day it is for me... this morning i found a rom with push email and stereo BT. I installed it and it killed my machine - from high to low and its all my fault!
i hope this splash screen error gets fixed for you!!!
for me i think the manufacturers are partly to blame. they should all release roms with full functionality and then none of us would be going through this!

it worked!
for anyone reading this and concerned about upgrading a rom note that mine failed as i did not follow the instructions exactly!

screen always goes blank on cingular 8525

At this point I can;t even use the phone. it started earlier today after upgrading to Windows Mobile 6 Pro Black Edition 2.0 from windows mobile 5 and it would usually haoppen when i was talkin on the phone while recieving a text message, after which the screen would turn white and Id have to take the battery out for a quick second. Now even the battery doesn't do the trick so basically I can't even use my phone since my looking a blank white screen
any ideas whats going on?

Could you please give us some more information, setup your signature to show your rom version (and name), radio version, spl etc...
What EXACTLY have you flashed to your phone recently (or at all)?

okay I tried to get a signiture but I dont know if it worked so here it is
Cingular 8525
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.0lipro
HERM 100
Windows Mobile 6 Pro Black Edition 2
CE OS 5.1.195 (Build 17740.2.3.0)
ROM version: Pro Black 2.0 (1/04/07)
Protocol: 32.71.7020.12H
Now I plugged the phone into my pc usb port and it turned on again without any problems.
Few other things
I upgraded my vista drivers to the ones pointed on this site
The Hard-SPL-V6 utility never seemed to work as it would always give me error but everything else was installed without a problem and since I already have SPL-1.40.0lipro I guess theres no point in using that utility, from what i understand...

So you havent tried upgrading to ANY other rom at all?

I want to give the Windows Mobile 6 3DES.2 a try next but I don't know if I'm doing smething wrong here.
Aside from that, I havent really installed any apps

OK I doubt that it is the ROM that has caused any issues here, i would like you to CONFIRM that your bootloader version is 1.40.olipro before you continue doing naything else.

I just checked and that's wht it says, its been there ever since I installed windows mobile pro black edition 2
I check by pressing the power and ok button and resetting the little buttun with a stylus.

OK, have a go at flashing a different WM6 ROM, try 3DES?!

Well at least he does his reading. Welcome.
Hmm...The infamous white screen. I was a victim of that for a day, tho 1.40Oli should have fixed that...Hmm try reflashing the ROM?
Also...with 1.30Oli or later, I was able to flash with Vista without doing the driver replacement using RUUWrapper.
The way you make it sound, it seems like you have "temporary white screens"
I don't think it would hurt to reflash...and tell us your results ^_^
I'm not that educated in anything advanced yet but I am curious now.

well right now the screen goes white everytime pwer goes off and i press the power button. I can have the phone turned on all the time which draines the battery or power off the screen and reset it everytime i need to use the phone... Anything similar to that happen to anyone?

this only happens whenever the phone is unplugged from the power for some reason. As soon as its connected to the ac adapter or usb, the screen turns on and off withot a prob

Problem with upgrading to WM6 for IPAQ hx2495b

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.

Help!! just got an Xda IIs - seems locked up

Hi all, I have just got a Blue Angel Xda which is in mint condition but when powered up hangs with an unlit screen showing the O2 logo and some faint red writing near the bottom right of the screen which I cant read. It does nothing from this point.
I have tried pressing the key combination to enter bootloader mode and this appears to work with a blank white screen saying 'serial' and a version number - but what to do from there?
Can I reflash the software? does this problem sound easy to fix or is it destined for the bin? I have the docking cradle and some software with it - I would like to unlock it if possible but since I cannot access the PDA I cannot copy the unlock file to it.
Any help would be very appreciated - what software do I need to get it working again if I can?
Thanks in advance.

oh dear I was hoping I would be told it was simple matter by now - anyway in the mean time I have tried to get the phone to connect to active sync but it will not. I have put it in boot loader mode and it says serial on the screen which changes to USB when put in the cradle - still will not connect to active sync. I can in fact read the red writing on the screen which I said I couldn't above - it seems to be various version numbers of something.
I am using XP with the latest version of active sync for XP downloaded from MS yesterday.
All I want to do is reflash this XDA - I was told it was a simple thing but so far have had no luck even connecting to it.

Hi.
Try to do a hard reset first. You can learn how by reading the following:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_WM5_For_Beginners

No luck
Thanks for that but I never see the coloured stripes - maybe its not WM5? I can clearly enter boot mode according to that guide but otherwise just have a stuck unlit O2 loading screen. The soft reset only seems to cause a momentary blanking of the screen and then back to the same O2 logo. I have tried pressing the camera and record buttons a thousand times whilst pressing soft reset but nothing different ever happens.
isn't there a way to just reflash the rom?

Yes...of course you can reflash.
Download the rom from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382909
Enter bootloader mode, connect your Blue Angel to the cradle and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.
When the flashing is complete...hard reset your device.

Wow - thanks so much you are a genius - I followed the instructions with relative ease and my Xda lives again - I need to play on a bit with it now to learn how to use it but thanks a million.

Everything seems to be OK - WiFi seems a bit flakey with connecting but once connected behaves well - biggest annoyance by far is the fact that there is no sound at all, no matter what the format and volume the xda is mute!

Heh..you're welcome.
The 'no sound' issue could be a hardware problem. If you are sure that the software is ok and you should hear sound then the best scenario would be a replacement speaker.
I have just replaced my speaker with a spare from a qtek s200 and it's great.
BA is a great device

I am not sure the software is OK - the PDA is in mint condition it seems highly unlikely that the sound is faulty - its totally silent - wma makes no sound at all.
I wonder if there is a factory rom I could try just to be sure if its the software or hardware - I have followed links to various 'ship' roms and they seem to be dead now.
I plugged headphones in and they too are dead so it it probably isn't the speaker?
Also the camera button starts media player not the camera and I dont appear to have any access to camera functions - I think this could be a software thing perhaps a less ambitious version of WM.
As a beginner in this forum its really hard to find any actual files - there is much talk about this rom and that but where are they kept?
surely there is a stock rom that can try to be sure the hardware is ok?

Hmm..
Try this wm2003 rom(run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe):
http://rapidshare.com/files/111121136/BA_O2UK_14000_237_11200_ShipXdaIIs.rar
Are you sure that there's a camera on your BA? Because some BA come without a camera.

Thing is when I try the stock rom I end up exactly where I started with it frozen on the boot screen - it just wont seem to allow me to do a hard reset - I reflashed the 6.11 and works fine but again no sound and the camera says it cant initialise the hardware (definately has one)
I even flashed a T Mobile stock rom and it froze exaclt y the same as the O2 rom on the boot screen and wont respond to the hard reset buttons.
When i flash the WM6.11 the hard reset works just as it should so I conclude from this that the buttons are OK
I am at a loss as to what is going on - right now I am back to 6.11 but no sound and no camera again but I cant see me living with it like this

iMate 9502 & 8502 WM 6.1 WWE Telstra 1.73 ROM

Hey guys,
Long time member, but first time poster . I got some good news for you iMate users out there. I was able to get the new WM 6.1 ROMs for both the iMate Ultimate 8502 and 9502, though I was told these were still considered beta ROMs. They are for the Australian market I assume as the Telstra logo displays on the boot up.
I've been using it on my 9502 for the past day or two and it seems to have fixed the following issues:
SDHC is supported now
MS Voice Command is working
GPS does not have to be turned on manually anymore
Camera program memory leak seems to be fixed. I will have to do more testing.
Ongoing issues:
Free Program Memory is still 33 MB after a hard reset
The ROM also seems to fix alot of software compatibility issue I was having. Like some of my SPB software that I normally use is now working without any freezes or heavy slowdown. It also seems to run a bit faster, especially when you slide out the keyboard. Anyways, give it a try. Hope this helps.

iMate 9502 : http://rapidshare.com/files/129807567/Ultimate_9502_V.01.73_NO_CP.rar.html

Great! Thank you!

Nice.
I went to run the update but it requires a "ROM unlock code"
Anyone know what that is?
Thanks
Dave

Re: ROM unlock code
You may find the code printed on the box you have bought the device in or on www.imate.com after you have registered your imate.

Has anyone run this beta as yet ? Keen to see what the opinions are. If WM6.1 doesn't make the device any more stable then ebay here we come which is a real pity I must say.

Just installed and it works better but yet to install my other software. GPS is missing from the wireless manager but I assume that is because GPS is now always active.
Now there is about 50mb free after hard reset. Might be some more once I get rid of the other start up shortcuts.
BTW I have an 8502 and thanks to the OP. Looks like we may be into a winner here, finally............

There it is!!! Thanks! Sheesh iMate is tough :-\

Got it up to 6.1 and it is true the GPS is good to go without a turn-on.
However, with this rom I am NOT able to launch iGo 06 or iGo8. Anyone else have this issue and/or a solution? Note: It was working on the old rom.
Thanks

Please help me....
I have i-mate 8502
I did the upgrade BUT before it I lounched Sprite Backup to save all phone data and settings.
After ugrading to WM 6.1 I lounched Sprite Backup again and... now I have only i-mate blue screen (i-mate sign on it) and phone doesn't go any further....
I would flash it again but my pc doesn't see it now at all.
Maybe you know some way to bring my i-mate back to life?
Please help.... Did i brake it?

Not sure why Sprite would cause that for you. I installed Sprite backup NP. I even, backed up, hard reset and restored with Sprite and not even an error.
Still can't get iGo to work though. I doubt anyone here has an 8502 WM6.0 ROM ??? At this point I would rather go back if I can't use iGo :-(

Taking battery out for 3 hours didn't work...
What else can I do?
Help please...

BIG Problem
Hi,
I've run the upgrade program and it worked fine until the first reset... Now I see the message "Please reconnect to PC and run the upgrade again"... I did this 10 times and nothing... I keep getting the "Connect fail" message from the setup file... The problem is that Active Sync dosen't see anymore the phone connected and I don't think it can anymore... that message seem to be from the bootstrap program or something like that...
Please help...

After Flashed with the new ROM, My Device is now stuck in iMate Blue Screen Logo....!!!
But Don't worry Guys...it can be solved with manually hard Reset...
1. Remove battery and reinsert (to make sure the phone is off).
2. Hold down Fn and the Green button (with the phone icon on it) and press the power button.
3. You will see the white hard reset option screen almost immediately. Press the Left Soft Key to hard reset.
Work for me...

Can someone post another link? The original is not working at the moment. Thanks in advance

OK, I got an XP machine and did the upgrade, went smoothly in about 15 minutes.
Overall I would say it is a worthwhile improvement.
Changes/improvements:-
* PIE scrolling fixed - much smoother, now with zoom
* PIE doesn't freeze any more
* Auto GPS enabling is nice
* Camera seems to start faster
* Threaded SMS is really good (and MMS is integrated now into one account)
* Seems to now stop notifying "SMS Sent"
* Overall perf seems better
* Wireless manager is simpler (I hated the old "solar system" UI)
* Phone settings includes Network Time setting and "battery saver" HSPA setting
* Can change default phone number (w, h, m) from the phone contacts app
Things not fixed:
* Voice call volume appears to be the same
* Select and hold with center button on email attachments still tries to open them (instead of offering to save like every other PPC I have used)
Not tested:
* SDHC support - I don't have a card
Best of all is that it appears to not have introduced any new bugs (fingers crossed).
I am sure I have spoken too soon ...
One thing I did notice was SPB Backup 2.0 stops the phone from rebooting successfully (just stays on Windows Mobile screen forever) if you have scheduled backups on. Seems as if it doesn't like something in the notification queue - so just backup manually. Not sure if scheduled backups on SPB Backup 2.0 worked properly in 6.0?

I have the same issue with the "Please reconnect to PC and run the upgrade again" message. Unfortunately, the reset doesn't help. As soon as you press the power button that message comes up. I think if we got that message, we've bricked it

You may be right but in the spirit of trying everything you:-
1) PRESS AND HOLD "Fn and Green" buttons
2) WHILE KEEPING THEM PRESSED press and release the reset hole with stylus
3) CONTINUE HOLDING the Fn and Green buttons until the white reset options screen appears
Fingers crossed for you - if this doesn't work then you are right, time to send it back.
