hi people,
I have upgraded my xda2 to wm2005, now active sync has crashed and i cannot get a connection going at all with it.
does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade via an sd card. I'd like to put the image on the sd card then do the downgrade from there.
I cannot use the normal methods because they all require an activesync connection.
if you do and could give me a real dummies step by step, I would be very grateful
thanks
First suggestion re-install act.sync on your PC & if your xda2 is the problem: hard-reset that one.
yeah, I have done that. I have tried it on another pc, and re-installed active sync 4
thanks
& that didn't work, too bad. Then you need advice from a xda2 specialist, & that's not me (I only know the magician). Have you checked your device's wiki section?
I have not checked but will do now, thanks anyway
success
Hello.
I have just upgraded my WM5 to clean official O2 WM6 (via SDCard Flashing - worked great)
I have a problem with USB connection (it doesnt work) so is it possible to install Artemis Vanilla 2.01 by Sdcard flashing?
Thanks
How do you mean it doesnt work? What type & size of memory card are you using?

How are you charging the phone??
Have you tried other USB ports?
Do other USB peripherals work on your PC?
i expect the problem is the same as a few of us have (me included). the USB board has been blown up, usually from putting on charge in the car and then starting the car, inducing a large current, resulting in the USB control board in the phone being blown. You can still charge off USB, but nothing else.
There is a way of flashing from the SD Card, its in the Wiki, but your phone MUST BE CID unlocked first!
Has anyone found a way of CID unlocking without USB sync?
I have this problem with my usb too! I've tried upgrading other to other roms via SD but get an invalid certificate message for anything other than the official o2 rom.
I guess what we need is a way to run the USPL from an SD card before then putting in a card with the new rom on it. Any ideas if this is possible anyone?
why not try using the 12 month warranty?
its way over its warranty.
It is definitely possible. You just need to know how USPL is applied. I mean, start_uspl, what does it exactly do? It copies certain files, and then execute them on the Pocket PC.
The best solution is ask pof(developer of USPL) for manual step by step methods. You can then post it here for others too.

Carty..

as far as i know the only htc that supports sd flash is the wallaby. although you should find a cable for a reasonable price on ebay.
sorry misunderstood that, your first post is not very clear.

That is not correct. Lots of devices allow you to flash via SD card, including the BA. The only catch is that in order to prepare a card for flashing, you have to have the BA connected to the computer. There is a series of mtty commands that need to be input in order to get the card to be "bootable" for SD flashing. I will post a procedure I found the other day if there is enough interest.
BTW, ares93... this is not in the wiki...

i would appreciate, if you posted a confirmed way to flash from the sd card, because i am running windows 7 x64 and up to now, i have not managed to flash with it... or vmware, virtual pc xp mode or virtualbox for that matter. i would love to try that. even if it means, preparing the sd card with an xp machine for once, assuming that mtty does not work with 7 either, because of the lack of bootloader support.
and please don't post links on how to flash in windows 7, tried all of them, don't work for me.

if it wasn't in the wiki it's probably the reason i don't know about it.
a guide would be great 'cause i'm quite new to flashing pda's. i could use all the info i get cell's aren't a problem but with pda's there are so damn many variations... btw since you have to connect it to a computer to be able to flash via sd, doesn't it kind of kill the point of doing it that way? its designed quite stupidly don't you think?

Hey Chef,
Follow this link
http://www.mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Blue Angel Service Manual.pdf
This is the service manual for the Blue Angel directly from HTC. Towards the end, there is a section that speaks about flashing a rom from SD. The only drawback is that you have to have your device connected to the computer, which kinda beats the whole point of using a SD card. I might take it for a spin just to see if it works.
thanks, i have linked that exact service manual dozens of times for people with hardware issues, but i've never actually read it, because i never had to open my device. i didn't even know there was information like that in there thank you, i will definetely give it a try, as soon as there is a new rom.
upgrade from SD card
Hi.
Well I read this forum since I have a Blue Angle but no cable. So basicaly I cannot connect it to the computer. I was thinking if somebody can prepare an SD card for upgrade than make an image out of it and share it, than maybe this will sort the threader problem. (And my too).
Thank you.

Not enough time. Will do it at some point though...
ok, phone was on charge, phone rang, went to answer, phone rebooted!. Left it but it stayed on 02 screen??.. Battery out, reboot - same thing!
Tried going into recovery but again it hangs on the o2 boot screen?
What the hell has happened?????
Was running DeFrost 3.6 with no problems!
Someone please tell me my phone is not kaput!!
First of all, pull off your sdcard.
Tried that - removed sdcard - still same.. o2 boot screen...
Can anyone help me please?? I cant even get into recovery to to a nandroid restore.. everything i try the phone just sits there on the o2 screen... is there a way to reflash an original rom incase i have to send it back???
I just dont undestand why answering the phone on charge i have ended up with a f**cked phone???
So i imagine you can see hboot screen.
You may try to flash a new recovery with unrevoked.
Yes i can see the Hboot screens.. i tried the unrevoked methos but it wont go any further than saying: waiting for device enable usb debugging... as the phone wont startup.
Vicious circle eh.. thanks for quick reply though..

What i was going to say .... if you cant get to the hboot screen well then bad times indeed
Extreme solution
If you can get the Hboot screen, as extreme solution, just copy in your SDcard (root directory)the file PB99IMG.zip or similar (I have no brand phone, maybe O2 requires a different file).
Be carefull, because this method will reset completely your phone. You will loose Root, every data, and you'll come back to the original branded phone.
You can search for this file at:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
Download the zip file corresponding to your version and rename it in PB99IMG.zip
Put this file in the root directory of your sdcard, start the device in Hboot mode and it should start automatically!
I hope this can help you.
If anyone more expert has a better solution, please help him
No i CAN get into hboot screen.. i just have no idea as to what to do now???

Ok, i will lose root but will i be able to use the unrevoked method again??.. or am i completey screwed then as hboot will be too high etc...
I have put my goldcard in.. but just cant do anything
So...the alternative is to have a not working phone. In any case, Unrevoked or not, you should give it a try if you don't have other solutions. But I suggest you to read a lot of threads before you proceed... many similar experiences could help you to understand the procedure.
Yeah agreed.. would rather a working phone.. I have been looking at the bricked threads but they are not so easy to understand.. Appreciate the help though..

follow the hboot steps using the .zip file everthing will return to default so then you can use unrevoked to root you phone again #

Ok, i am completely stuck now.. I think i can repair the phone but i just have no idea how. I have trawled through bricked threads..just cant find a solution.
I think if i could get usb debugging enabled unrevoked might just work.
Using the cmd tool i can use enableqxdm 0 and it says okay - however unrevoked still does not see it as neither does my pc!
I have no idea how to restore my nandroid without getting into recovery???
I am unsure weather to flash the PB99img.zip as i have a branded phone and i am worried i will completely brick it!
Just so so lost....
Heres a tip though - dont answer your phone when its on charge!!!!

Can i use any of the PB99IMG.zips then as it was an o2 branded phone??? Or can i use the update.zip (is this the nandroid backup??) thats already on my sd card - have card reader so can mess about with that no probs..
I have just seen where it checks for the image afetr getting to Hboot so i understand what its looking for now... Question is what image do i use..
Really do appreciate all the help guys
Ok, i tried flashing one of the pb99img and i get a CID error (incorrect). It says this is because goldcard is not present but it is???? Is it because i am using a different standard rom to the one that was on the phone???
I give up for today - i gotta go to work. If i could get USB debugging to work i would probably be ok, but when i do the commands via cmd prompt it says okay but it doesnt seem to do anything!
My goldcard now seems like it doesnt want to be one, thus the cid error..
I am just going round in circles here..
Think i might just throw the damn thing out of a window - Its doing my head in!!!!!
All from answering the poxy phone whilst plugged in!!!!!
wow.. was hoping for a few replies.. guess no one has any ideas.. guess i am buggered then... ok so if i send the phone back to o2 - what is worse case scenario if they do see its flashed??.. will they just charge me for the fix or just not touch it at all??

I would suggest you put your SD card in your computer and verify the content. Or even better, I hope you have a backup of your SD Card after you rooted your phone. I think your partition may have gone, so you can't boot up anymore. Try to format your sd card, partition it with Gpartition or whatever prog you have and copy back the content of your SD Crad back up on your newly formated SD card. It should do the trick. The same happened to me when I changed my 8gb SD Card for a 16gb one.
Good luck and let me know how it works (or not).
forelli, in Darth Sidious mode.
The sd card seems ok in a card reader? I did do a backup a while back but i have a spare sd card so i will try that? Would the sd card problem stop me going into recovery though??? I thought that was phone based and not sd card based??
I've searched for quite a while and can't find a thread on this, think I've managed to find a fairly unique problem!
Following a recent screen replacement (entirely successful apart from the following problem!!), my DHD is not recognising my SD card. I've tried a factory reset and fixing the permissions through CWM recovery.
I have also tried the SD card in another DHD which recognised it no problem.
I know that this could be a hardware issue due to my fumbling around, but there are several other small glitches that make me think that my rom might be the problem, so I'm wondering if there's a way of flashing a new rom without using the SD card?
Anyone who could provide me with instructions for doing this would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
Using a file manager, look in /mnt/
Do you see anything in there? i.e /sdcard?
If not then I'd say it was hardware, If you can try another SDCard in it, give that a whirl.
AFAIK, even if you run a RUU~.exe to restore you still need a SDCard as that transfers the rom.zip/PD98IMG.zip to your SDCard.
Not trying to teach you to suck eggs, but have you checked the contacts on the handset? Dirty/Obstruction/etc....
Suggestions,
1). Another SDCard
2). Finding a suitable RUU for your device & running (Search the DHD Dev forums for the RUUs).
Ok i've had a look in Astro.
Firstly I get a little error message saying "Error creating external cache".
Looking in /mnt, there are 4 folders: /asec /obb, /sdcard and /secure
All of these folders are empty according to Astro. If I attempt to create a new folder within any of them I get an error message.
Have turned up a new issue too - the usb connection is intermittent. It will sometimes give me the option to choose the connection type, but at other times it will just charge the phone. I've made sure I'm using the correct cable (i.e. one that is capable of data transfer - not just a charger!)
Have also tried someone else's sd card from their phone that I know is working and no joy.
Thanks for the suggestion about contacts, I hadn't thought of checking that to be honest. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the phone will not access the sd card if the bottom cover is not on properly (the contacts are not seated correctly?) - is this something I should check or have I made it up? I'll have a look at the sd card slot this weekend and make sure nothing is causing problems.
Will also do some research into RUU.
Thanks again for your response, much appreciated!
Problem solved! Seems it was to do with the back covers not being properly aligned.
Phew! Thanks for the suggestions.

Hello mshipway
I have the exact same problem. It also came after screen replacement.
Could you please describe hos to fix it?
Thx in advance
