Hi guys.
Was hoping you could help me out.
I performed a search on the forums and didn't find the answer.
I have an O2 XDAII.
I tried to upgrade the ROM from the O2 site.
The upgrade somehow went south and the only thing I have on the sceen of the device is:
At the top - "Serial"
At the bottom - "v1. 06"
I tried taking out the battery and then putting it in again, but the same things appear on screen as detailed above.
Any suggestions/advice would be gladly appreciated.
I had that.
I plugged back in the USB cable and the message changed from Serial to USB - I then re-ran the ROM upgrade and it all worked OK.
Give it a try and let me know how you got on.
I'm getting the same problem. On my phone (UTStarcomm PPC6700), I have the Serial/USB header, with a V1.00 on the bottom.
When I first attempted the ROM Upgrade, it switched over to the screen. I've tried removing the battery, resetting, and re-launching the ROM upgrade app, but nothing.
Any other ideas???
solutions found?
Anyone know the solution?

ISTR that when you get to that screen it is after a hard reset.
You should just be able to hook up the USB cable and re-install the rom.
If you are having problems re-installing the rom, what sort of error messages are you getting?
Have you tried installing another ROM?
Serial v1.01
This is all that is written on the grey screen after trying to install ROM. Does anyone know how to proceed? I have an i-mate Jasjar.
It doesn't sound as though the rom is getting installed properly.
Do you get any error messages from the ROM installer?
I did not get any errors while installing. I did upgrade to 1.30.101 some weeks ago, but the phone turned very slow and froze. Therefore I now tried to install 1.30.77. Now the screen is grey and the only text is serial and v1.01. Anyone know how to proceed?
problems updating ROM
I have a Tmobile MDA PRO. I updated the ROM to the newest version, but now my phone only displays a screen with a tmobile logo, and the version information and thats it.
I tried to do a hard reset and still the same thing, I tried to redo the ROM install program, but its says[error message 101] that my phone is on but it cannot connect to it.
I have had my phone for one day and it is virtually useless.
Can someone please tell me how to flash the rom, or which is the best ROM to install for the mda pro/qtek 9000 series?
Help would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

Go and get your MDA PRO into Bootloader Mode: Press backlight + power button and do a reset. You should now see without backlight on top of your screen: serial and on the bottom: v.1.xx
Now connect MDA PRO with the USB datacable and run the ROM Update
again .. hopefully you have 50%+ battery capacity
ive got a wizzard .... my prob is that i installed da rong rom ... and now my usb port is not working ... its not charging neither is it connecting to da usb for active sync ... tell me wat to do ....
I have searched the internet high and low - found many threads in many forums about the O2 XDA IIs being stuck on boot screen and wont hard reset and NO, I mean NOT a single solution posted anywhere despite the numbers of people with exactly the same problem as me.
It will enter boot loader mode and will flash with WM5 or 6 but neither have working camera or sound.
I have flashed it with Ship versions of O2 and even T-Mobile roms but both freeze at the boot screen and wont do anything else, pressing the usual buttons to get it to hard reset don't work.
So unless anyone can help me either restore the factory rom and solve the frozen boot screen or fix the sound / camera I am going to smash it to little pieces and throw it in the bin.

Don't do that, tell me the cost and post it to me. I can use the spare parts.
Seriously, what have you tried so far? (I missed the earlier posts).
Are you getting stuck at the four colour boot screen, or at the WM splash screen?
Thanks for the reply Jdc - lol - for a second I thought you were serious about the parts.
I have tried sooo much with this thing I cant remember what I haven't tried now. But to recap when I first got the Xda IIs it was locked to O2 and stuck on the boot screen with the O2 logo and the red writing in bottom left corner showing rom version. Nothing seems to shift from this state, no reset hard or soft makes any difference - take out the battery and when put back in and powered up sticks at the boot screen.
However - I can get it into bootloader mode and merrily flash WM5 or 6 which appear to work perfectly but there is no sound whatsoever and the camera says it fails to initialize the hardware please reset.
I then reflashed it with an O2 stock Ship rom - presumably WM2003 and it is exactly as it was at the start - stuck on the boot screen showing the O2 logo and rom versions.
I even tried a T-Mobile ship rom of the same version and it stuck on the T mobile boot screen.
Arrrgh!!!! I am at my wits end with it - maybe it is faulty somehow and this is not a software fault - I wish there was some diagnostic I could run on it and find out.
I currently have WM6.11 running well but as I said with no sound or camera.
Hope you can suggest something I may have overlooked or done wrong - I am new to this and it is very possible I have missed something.

Well, I am, kind of. I have an XDA IIs as well that needs some replacement parts, so if you are going to smash the thing, I'll pay the post to send it my way.
Anyway...

Hrm...
When it is stuck the boot screen, what does the R, G and D lines show? I'm wondering if the radio ROM might be buggered up. However, you do say that it's working... mostly...

No sound... As in playing a sound file with WMP doesn't even produce anything?
Can you use it as a phone normally?
Have you opened it up to see if the camera and speaker(s) are loose?
One other thing to try, if you don't mind doing another hard reset:
1. Download mtty v1.42
2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.
4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM 2, try unplugging the USB and replugging it)
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted
7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot
8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
The wierdest thing happened.
Have to say that none of the suggestions or ideas (though welcome) helped. I reflashed the WM6.1 after flashing latest radio rom. Still no sound and camera.
Last night I had kept the battery out for a few hours and then on replacing it had to do reset - hey presto after all this time the sound worked and so does the camera.???? I have absolutely no idea what I did to fix it - almost as if it needed resetting a few times - cant think what else I have done.
Anyway I am happy bunny now - it all seems to be working perfectly.
Excellent! Glad that it's working for you now, hopefully it stays working as well.
If it doesn't, don't bin it, PM me and we can talk.
Lol - sorry Jdc but i wont be parting with it now - it all works perfectly even the phone is superb now which just goes to show that even when it looks like a hardware fault it is often software - a typical PC in other words.
Cheers

Well, a typical windows machine. My UNIX and Mac's rarely go and burble to themselves like my windows machines do at times.
Hi, I seem to have bricked my Universal. Apologies, I did search the forum & wiki etc., I wouldn't say I'm an expert but I've upgraded/downgraded ROM & radio many times before
First I tried to flash with the rDosti, otherwise known as Tomal's - v7.7: WM6.1 Pro
The flashing process went OK, but then after I hard reset the operator splash screen comes up - the T-Mobile screen - and the version is listed as 2. THING xx, like it should. However, my device remains frozen at this screen.
I hadn't upgraded to Bootloader 1.01, it was 1.00 like the documentation in the thread said, so I did this and reflashed again, same thing.
Then I tried flashing with the T-Mobile official WM5 in desperation - the same thing happens, the text on the splash says it's WM5 but it freezes here.
Then I reflashed the bootloader and WM6 several times again with the same results.
Can anybody help me with this pretty please? Thanks for any help!
try original1.....search in de forum.....

2days ago i got this problem .but now i recover my divice with '' mtty for remove all botloder imege . then updat with new rom.
first u have to know is ur divice G3/G4. then u flash with rom file
Hi, thnx for replies, but im afraid you misunderstood me somewhat.
The *upgrade* process appears to work, ie. Bootloader seems to work fine, the device freezes at the first *operator* screen*, where it shows OS & radio version - the t-mobile screen, NOT the bootloader.
I tried the "Exit_bootloader" app (=mtty?) with no success.
An
do 1thin u update another rom...make sure dat ur fone is g3/g4..then update. coz if u update the wrong rom dis wl happen...
Thanx. I own 3 universal & I upgraded another with the same ROM & it worked no probs. So problem is not with the ROM.
The device with the freeze is G3.
mamaich method
Step by Step :
get the tools at attachment , as mamaich told, you have to use it in bootloader mode , (Power + Light Bulb + Reset)
1. Stop Activesync USB connection
2. Uni : Reboot Bootloader then Connect USB
3. PC : Run mtty1.42.exe
4. Choose USB in "Port" (Reconnect if can't find/reconglize USB and try remove sim and sd card)
5. type : task 28 55aa
6. Press Enter
7. Cause DOC reformatted, so there's no rom in DOC ,try reflash any rom that you like .
For task 28 55aa in mtty success , will show the message (attachment )
DONE .
Thanks satanisme.
I had the same problem, I have had a good look around but yours is the best description of how to get out of the splash screen.

I installed Nataly Rom on my phone and since that time, my phone start to hard reset more and more often (3 times today)
Now I don't think that this has anything to do with the rom, but more with my phone.
Now, If I turn on my phone, I just get my red vodafone screen and nothing else happens.
I tried a hard reset, even with a complete format, wich now puts my phone completly bank, but still it won't pass my red vodafone screen.
Does anyone have suggestions of how to boot it up again?
please help

try putting your phone into the bootloader screen and reflash with another rom.
I have a friend that had this problem with his phone. In his case there was a problem with the pagepool, installing a different rom as cobbs stated was the solution for him as well.

some of us have had this problem already - my advice- use tbe search function 'cmd task 29' is the answer
Hi Gort
Thanks for the wonderfull advise.
I already thought my phone was a gonner, but now I can work with it again.
For all the people who experience a phone that keeps hard resetting more often and eventually cant boot at all, here's what to do.
Procedure:
1. bring the device to bootloader.
2. Launch ActiveSync on PC
3. Go to connection settings
4. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection
5. Now, run mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC.
6. If you have run mtty1_1_.42_538, just press the button USB
7. Type CMD
8. Type task 29 and let the program do his work a bit.
9. after that, flash with the rom of your choice
here is the link to mtty1_1_.42_538
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490182&page=4
Thanks for all the help guys, most appreciated
and hopefully this thread will help others now as well
edit: Link updated, should work fine now
problem flashing

Hi,
I am a newb to this.
Have gone through the below links to unlocks my new samsung s2 t989 (locked totmobile)
Below is the step followed to unlock
Tried the steps mentioned in the below post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
Didnt work. Going through the forum again i understood i need to install the new radio UVLE1
Followed the below link to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36417242&postcount=145
Only deviation done was to enter to download mode as the steps mentioned in the above forum didnt work.
So reffered to the youtube link for the same -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHi0SIu7cXk
Then follwed the rest of steps as explained by OP.
Unfortunatly i was not able to find any range for the Tmobile SIM and the phone started to work very slowly.
Then i trien unlocking after entering
Go to dailer screen. press *#197328640#
Though it was a bit slow i was able to navigate to the screen with DEUG Screen option -
The screen will change to the hidden menu as soon as you hit the last # key in the dailer
press [1]DEBUG SCREEN
When i press on 1 nothing was happening. waited for a long time.
I think the greatest mistake i did after this was tried to reset to factory setting. I assume the software crashed and i am now not able to switch on the phone.
i am able to get to the boot options with various options
Also the cloclworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 is displayed in the screen.
Can some one help me with options to restart my phone and make it to work as normal.
A detailed explanation with links would help me as i am completly a newb to this.
Many thanks in advance.

If you are able to get into recovery, place your rom of choice on the external SD card, insert it into your phone, and flash the rom from recovery.
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, unlocking the phone, or flashing a rom...
