ppc problem: white screen after upgrade - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

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 !

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 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

Encountering same problem with every ROM I've tried.

First of all, apologies for being a noob, especially if this question has been asked many times before....i realise that will be annoying (ive tried to search though, honest!!)
Every ROM Ive tried to update to my device keeps encountering the same problem:
I have the device connected at all times, and ActiveSync (4.5) is running....the device and my machine even go through a sync there and then.
I run the ROM program, and click through all the screens.....it checks my device, asks if i want to continue and heads to the % screen.
It interogates my device for a minute of so, then ActiveSync simply switches off, on the device screen there no longer appears to be a sync/connection, and then i get a "ERROR [260] : CONNECTION" message - the device has been connected physically all along but as I explained above has happened.
Its the HTC Touch (I assume im on the right forum, i was directed here!!), WM6 in French language (all the ROMS ive been trying are to WWE) Its that the prob, cant I go from WM6 Fre to WM6 WEE??
Also, the phone is currently SIM locked.....does that make a difference??
Is there something obvious (to you experts) that I'm not doing???
Thanks for your time, as I say, any help would be appreciated, since im trying to make a fist of this myself whith no prior knowledge in the subject!!
do you use vista or XP ?
do you try to use another usb cable ?
PS: you are in trinity section not the touch one

Cheers again, but erm.....i dont speak fluent french. The reason the phone's WM6 is in French is becuase i was given it by a family member who found it on holiday in spain (minus sim and contacts, so we have no way of finding out whos it is etc).
Any chance of a translation!!?? LOL
Use hard SSpl from DES check the Wiki page.

Pocket pc help

Hi
i have a pocket pc prem phone 2003 (KP 300 phone model)product of keysmart a flop company. Now the problem is that when i turn on the phone only the blank screen on which the model written on the top is apperad and nothing else. so kindly any one help me that what happened to my phone and what should i have to do to get my phone back on working.
i have download the window mobile 6 and try to upgrade it but it gives the error rom is corrupted. so kindly can anyone guide me or post here the tutorial what software i need and from where i can download it to get my phone back again in working condition. Thanks
Waiting for your replys..............................
Welcome to the forum!
Please note that we generally deal with phones made by HTC here and though other devices are mentioned occasionally it is best to refer to a more specific forum if such exists for your device.
I tried googling for the name of the phone you gave and came up with nothing resembling a WM 2003 phone edition pocket PC.
You will need to give full name and model of your phone and preferably a link to some info about it.
Even then if this is not a popular model you will likely get no answers.
Meanwhile, I suggest you look in the manual for how to preform a "hard reset". If this is a software fault hard reset should restore your phone to factory settings and fix the problem.
Note the ROMs are very specific! You can not just pick a WM 6 ROM and try it on your phone. If the phone stopped working because of a failed upgrade it is possible that you corrupted the OS / bootloader and is very likely that only a professional repairer shop can restore your phone.

Thanks for you quick reply the model of my pocket pc is
" keysmart kp 300 " actually i bought this from the cyprus and now i am in pakistan this phone is still in warrenty but i still have no plan to go back to the cyprus so i am searching for a way to make my phone in working condition again. i also google a lot but the search resultes came in turkish language and still it is bit difficult for me to understand turkish.

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..

Universal Imate JasJar broke after error code 120 - Message USB Device not recognized

Help Help, please, I need your help please,
I am really new to this forum. I have been reading a long time the forum, and see evolution of cooked rom. I love the Tomal version 8.2 19960 that was on my Jasjar Imate. When I try to put the Vanillla version 8.2 I think that I mismatch myself, and unfortunately I should get back when I saw the error code 120. What I did, I say yes, and now have a blank screen. Nothing happens. Badly again,again, I have seen before this message USB on top and 2.01 on the bottom, but after I pull out the battery and change for another, I cannot connect anymore the device to the computer. It gives me this message <USB device not recognized> or < Windows cannot recognize a device attaching to you computer>. I kept trying all times, and now that this message, I have on my computer.
I think I did break my device myself, or I have all my stuffs in it, my passwords, my agendas, my contacts and so on.
Howw can anybody help me get out of this mess and recover my device. Please, I need help. Your help please.
Gerard
Universal Imate JasJar broke after error code 120 - Message USB Device not recognize
Thanks to post already done in this forum. I searched and brwosed all <USB not recognized> installed many utilities but without success. Finally, I discover the post < Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen (UNI_exitbootloader> in wiki.xda-developers.com and I get results, my device has been come to life again, it was RESURRECTED.
I follow exactly, that the solutions, I tried before, but in panic and in a hurry you could miss to steps and to pay attention to the instructions, but I retry again and again and finally it did work. And I put the Tomal 8.2 19960 again on my Imate jasJar and bingo, it works.
For sure, I have not seen the blue screen <clubimate> again, but a black screen, and at the bottom te version 1.15 radio, 8.2 TML and so on, but it doesn't matter, I am so glad to see all the functions come again to life, and put my sbp backup and bingo, I do have all my data and software back, as I take precautions allways to make a backup two days ago with sbp.
MANY THANKS TO XDA-DEVELOPERS; TO XDA DEVOPERS WIKI, AND TO THE PERSONS OR THE TEAM THAT FOCUS ON ANSWERS TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME AND OTHERS get out freely and sincerely to theirs problems.
I hope this post will help others to keep visiting and searching xda-developers for solutions of their device needs.
All the best
