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,

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

I am trying to upgrade to wm6. my rom version is 3.52.02 .could you please tell me step by step how to do the upgrade?
Alright. Don't panic. For some reason this model likes to give the "Invalid SKU" error. I just did mine yesterday morning after a night of non-worko, so I think I can walk you through safely.
Make sure you have the WM06 rom, the 1.00.00h flashing program and rom, your cradle, ActiveSync 4.5, and your power cord. Plug your AC adapter into your cradle and into the wall. You will need constant power to your cradle. Charge your PDA until it has 100% battery life, or else you risk problems if things don't go as smoothly as planned, which usually happens.
First, flash to 1.00.00h. I went back and forth between a bunch of different roms and this was the only one that worked for me.
Second, do a hard reset. That is, push calendar, mail, power buttons, and then while still holding those, push the reset button with your stylus and hold it until the screen comes back on and says "formatting PS". Wait until it's done, and then sync with your PC (go through all the prompts on your PC. You don't need to do anything on your PDA.).
After the sync is done, take your PDA off the cradle and push the contacts, iTask, and reset buttons at the same time. The screen should flash and then slowly turn all white. Most people will tell you that you will get a message that says "USB" in the corner. I DID NOT, and if you do not don't panic. Place the PDA on the cradle, and nothing should happen. Then, push the calendar button (you may need to hold it for a few seconds) and then you should hear the "connected device" sound on your XP machine (PC). You may or may not recieve a message on your PDA. I DID NOT, so pay attention to the sounds your PC makes.
Now, find the folder you extracted the 1.00.00h (SP32408) installer to. You will need to know where this is. Run hpRUU.exe. Check the box and then click next. It will check your PDA (Which should still have a white screen BTW) and then say it is going to upgrade from "?" to 1.00.00h. STOP. DO NOT CLICK NEXT. Go into the SP32408 folder and find the .nbf file that was included with the update. Move it somewhere else or rename it .bak. Take your WM06 nbf ROM image and move it to the SP32408 folder. Rename it to whatever the default rom image was. (In my case it was Microsoft_Windows_Mobile_5_WWE.nbf) NOW you may resume the hpRUU.exe program. Click next or ok or whatever, and it should start flashing. This process is significantly slower than most other flash operations. It may take quite a while. Be patient. Don't worry if it looks like it stopped. Just wait.
If all went well, WM6 should start up sooner or later. I recommend doing another hard reset just for the hell of it. After that, WM06 should be ready to go! Enjoy!
Tell me if it works!
thank you so much for ur help. everyhting is fine now
I have WM6 classic
Is it possible to put wm6 professional or am I asking too much
There's a WM6 professional? I had no idea lol. Maybe once I figure that out lol. Anyway glad it worked have fun

WM6 Professional is for PDA/Phone combos. That's the only difference.
Gotcha. Thanks.
thxx for the info. By the way, I have noticed that several bugs exist of WM6 (battery etc). I browsed some of the previous post but I dont know have to check If my version is the latest?
any hints or even the latest wm6 link ?
The version of WM6 I'm using doesn't have the battery drain bug, bluetooth works fine, wifi works fine. I guess the easiest way to tell is to try it out for a while lol. If your battery drains for no reason then I guess you have the bugged version. Same with bluetooth/wifi/etc.
thanks for the answer. I should have an old version cause messenger doesn't work. That was a problem with an old version and a friend of mine told me to update the OS. my version is 5.2.1437 and I think that there is a 5.2.19xx
Hi, what is the version you are using that there is no bugs till now ? Where did you find it ? Thanks
Strange. Mine is the same version. Though I haven't tried Messenger really.
i have a custom rom with a 3.42 radio and wm 6.1

The only way you would be able to upgrade to WinMO 6.5 would be to flash the phone just like when you flash a custom ROM now
WinMO 6.5 is not an installable app/upgrade like upgrading an application on your phone its the operating system itself
Right now and there are very few ROMS out there for WinMO 6.5 and none for the Vogue at all (Im assuming you have a Vogue as this is where you posted) soon there will be one as there are people working on it currently but what is there is EXTREMELY buggy and almost non-functional for the fact its on a phone and a phone should be able to be used after all LOL
Keep with the Custom ROMS for now and wait, the desire for it has been spoken and the Chefs are a cookin LOL

NFSFan has confirmed that those WM 6.5 ROMS are FAKE. Even if they were real, there would be no point of using them...
The builds are fake indeed. However they do contain a few components of 6.5. None which are worth upgrading for.

Really? What components do they have? Anything from a new today screen or Internet Explorer (like rumored)?
Kinetic scroll (give up TouchFLO and Manila2D), new IE build that supports kinetic scroll. The today screens being posted are fake. They are actually from a smartphone, called HTC Juno. Some asian dude took it out of the Juno, resized the images, and re-arranged the tabs to make it look like the new today screen.
flashing on Vouge
I know this may sound tedious but i have no idea on how to flash any ROM onto my Vouge. Can someone please help. I would love to try out several ROMs and see which one would work best for me.
Thanks in advance
Hey, here is one really good one
Detroit_Doug said:
Basically here are the steps
Download the 2.31 unlocker
Download the ROM you want to use (my personal preference is this one for a TF2D style or this one for a WinMO 6.5 style interface that has TF2D included to switch back and for - both very stable, fast and clean and the thread is very active for help (especially if your on Verizon or Bell which can have issues)
from there, use WinRAR to extract each file into separate folders
then Put your phone in bootloader mode (press and hold power+camera+stylus in reset until 3-color screen comes up)
At this point at the bottom of the screen it will say Serial, plug it into the USB cable or cradle and it should change to USB
Start the exe in the 2.31 and follow the directions (you may get some errors about sleep4.exe just click on OK as it keeps occuring its a XP/Windows7 64 bit issue if that is what your using)
At the point where it tell you to disconect, unplug the phone from the USB cable and wait (count to 10 or something) then plug it back in, it should have went from USB to SERIAL and now back to USB at that point go ahead and hit any key on your PC and it should continue along
once complete, reboot, allow it to do its thing then reboot and go back into bootloader again during reboot you should see coke 2.31 in the upper left if so your ready to go
plug it into your USB/Cradle again and then go into the ROM folder you extracted the ROM into
Once the screen on your phone says USB again go to the folder and double click on the RomUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the directions again, it may take some time so be paitent
once the phone flashes and reboots, let it run and do its thing to the and reboot itself then (and here is an important step for stability) once it starts up do a hard reset (red+green+stylus in reset hole) hit the enter button (center of D-Pad) it will reflash the phone and then red key (send) when prompted
then go thought the setup again, this time you can actually set things up as your keeping them this time and once things are done and your at the start screen on your phone power off (not reset) the phone and then start it up again - seems doing it this way takes care of alot of little issues that will come up before they can happen
Depending on your carrier be sure to have one of the DCD Carrier Cabs as well especially for the 6.5 ROM as it is a generic ROM and some have reported needing to run the DCD Carrier Cab for the service they use to get on the internet and use GPS and the like

Everything is working smoothly and better than I thought it would have (i flashed the 6.5 ROM). Thanks to you Detroit Doug or I don't think I would have been able to do it without your instructions. I however do have one more question....i'm having issues syncing the device with my PC now. Any idea on what that could be???
re: Thanks
I've done several resets but to no avail am i able to connect via active sync???
OK maybe i lied about everything working properly and wonderful....so on top of not being able to connect to my PC via activesync I also am not able to connect to the internet on my device, i've downloaded and installed the NFSFAN Sprint GPS Registry but still its a no go... Did i do something wrong completely????? still
I fixed the internet problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....somehow magically i'm now able to connect via activesync. I guess the device just needed time to adjust. Thanks for the help, and i do apologize for the numerous newbie questions.

The best is NFSFAN's Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. You can find it on another thread in this forum right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
Don’t even bother with anything else. I am running this. It is fast, stable and very close to the stock WM 6.5 (I have downloaded the device emulator image from Microsoft’s website for software development purposes). The extras that are in there are useful.

Hi Experts,
Would like to check whether anyone out there have ever encounter such problem?
I receive a rude shock this morning when I power on my 1 week old HTC HD which reads below:
"This concludes the beta test of this software release. Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers.
To obtain a newer release or further information, please revisit the web site that you used to obtain your current beta release."
I've flashed it with Dutty's Rom v1.8 and many other software which I use to have on my previous PDA. I son't think its coming from the ROM but maybe the software i installed. I remember the last few ones was Resco Explorer, Resco Pro viewer, FTP CLient...etc.
I tried many ways but just cannot seem to get rid of this screen as it appears right after any reset. So I decided to hard reset the phone but after going thru the procedure of holding the Vol up/down and power button, it just reboot like after a soft reset...and YES, it went back to the same screen!
Another thing, I couldn't get the phone to sync with my PC too.
What when wrong and what other method can I try? Any kind soul's advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks in advance.
put your phone on bootloader mode(tricolour screen),then connect your usb cable,on your tricolour screen it should show you USB,when you see it on the screen(on your phone)then you can flashing rom.
Hope this help

Thanks for the advice, you are right. Its the Time Bomb for Dutty's ROM v1.8.
Just manage to get the new ROM and flash it. Have to re-install the bunch of softwares i did earlier as i didn't read carefully that there's a time bomb.
Thanks again for the advice.
Cheers
yes it's a problem with the OS version used unknown by the cooker. It has been corrected. It is mentioned the Dutty 1.8 thread. Since Dutty 1.9 is out seems good time for an upgrade.
you have to put the CAB file on your memory card,when you flashing the new rom,you have to install all software back your phone
Can you be a bit more specific
Hi
Can you please do a little step by step thing. I am having this problem. What do i do once i am in tricolour screen after USB is displayed at bottom of screen.
Thanks in advance
Please save sarcasm when responding. I have been reading and would onlt ask for help a last option.
My phone - HTC Pro 2 (I bought it from a authorized t-mobile store)
Need help with - ugrading it to 6.5 or any cooked version that will work
History - my phone is already unlocked as I had unlock kings do it. I tested it and I can put any sim it and it works fine.
Problem - every time I try and install a new rom on it I get one the follwing errors or issues: My usb connection stop when the install starts and the process times out, or I get a host of errors messeges from invild device to wrong version.
I need very simple instructions on what I need to do upgrade my os and then later migrate to some of the really roms I have seen on this site.
Please help.
Did you hardSPL? If not go here: HardSPL
Nothing
I DL'ed the fle and followed directions (auto option). Nothing happened.

When you read those 11 steps in the HSPL thread, where is it, where you say: nothing happends?
As it stands, you will only be able to install an official T-Mobile ROM if it is a T-Mobile-branded phone.
So installing HardSPL will let you flash whatever ROM you want, any of the official ones (including, say, HTC official 6.5), or one of the fine cooked ones from this forum.
If you are having trouble with HardSPL, you really need to post on that in the HardSPL sticky.
no matter what I do, the connection always times out. It seems my phone will not allow anything rom software to be installed. Where can I find enableapnew.cab? The rom software told me i needed that.
@bigdaddy67
This sounds like a USB issue, try this:
1. Power off your TP2
2. Press and HOLD the volume down button, press and HOLD power button until you see the multi-coloured screen (bootloader mode)
3. Connect your TP2 to your computer via USB
4. You should now see the letters USB at the bottom of the TP2 screen
5. If you DO, run hardSPL
If you DON'T, try a different USB cable and/or port on your computer.
If none of the above helps, take a screen shot of your bootloader screen and post it.
How to get a screenshot:
1. Go to http://www.mymobiler.com and download/install the software.
2. Open it and take a screen shot
3. Post it here.
We are here to help, but need some additional details!!!

My OS is win xp and copied and installed the cab on my device. then I re-powered hold down the volume and got that tri-color screen with the usb connected. Started the HardSP app and have been waiting for 15 minutes as nothing seems to be working.
