I've tried to patch my O2 XDAIIs with the Imate rom with no joy. It kept putting me to the grey screen letting me know the unit is either UBS or Serial depending on if it's in it's cradle or not.
Now I can't get the Rom update from O2 on the unit. When I try to get a Rom back on the unit it tells me that it can not connect, i.e. Error 101: Connection Error.
Anyone able to help? I have tried the help file from Wiki - bootloader mode with no joy.
I've tried to hard reset the unit, tried downloading the Update from O2 again, killed the ActiveSync from Task manager..
Anyone experience this before and know a way out of it?
phew!
I think I have it going now...
What I've had to do is grab another laptop. <not sure if the machine is the problem or not.>
Reinstall ActiveSync
Allow the machine to find the XDA
Run the Rom update - it's about 10% through so far, I'll let you know later if it works completely again.
Back up and going
I've got my XDAIIs back now, yahoo!
I have read others who have had trouble running the update on one comp, but fine on another. Seems strangly common.
Congrats on fixing it!
Has anyone figured out why gprs settings & exchange password are disappearing everytime you do a soft reset!!!!!! I flashed to the Dopod new SEA rom from the official HTC 1.23 for Europe. Is there a trick to stop it from disappearing after soft reset or the rom is bogus??

PS: I am writing from the trinity so I apologize if this topic was discussed
its not happening to me!
I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I also seem to have hard-spl 1.07ds and the 3.03 that came with the dopod rom installed in my bootloader. how I know? well if I try to downgrade to the official htc 1.23, I get the 1.07ds in the bootloader and it fails, the I try to reinstall the new dopod wm6 and it works. I have super cided device & I can write to my extended rom. could this be the reason my gprs username and password and my exchange password keep disappearing afTer a soft reset? I made a hard resetusing the two buttons to get it to factory specs & it is still doing it. I have no installed programs.
i don't believe 1.07 is hard-spl, and i don't think you can actually have two spl's on there at the same time. I think one is just being overwritten by the other.
thanks for the clarification. however why in God's name am I losing my connection settings and exchange password everytime I soft reset when I have no programs installed or previously installed cooked roms. I remember the Dopod ANZ version might have had something like this and maybe dopod pulled the rom and promised to put another one in few days. I could be wrong about that.
thanks,
gilbert
I'm also experiencing the same problem and I couldn't find a solution for it.
Have you done a hard-reset after flashing?

Just discovering the flashing thing, so I'm not expert, but as far as I understand 1.07ds is not a hard-spl, but one that is pushed onto the phone by the update utility. To know what "resident" bootloader is on the phone, U need to enter the bootloader mode by pressing power+camera button plus doing a soft-reset.
Furthermore, to avoid installation of another bootloader (like the 3.03), I installed an hard-spl (olipro 1.30) and I put the phone into bootloader mode manually prior to flashing. Otherwise, the udate utility pushes the SPL 1.07ds which does not prevent the installation of the new 3.03 bootloader.
If you have the 3.03 on your device and want to downgrade, have a look at http://trinityguides.info at the Dopod WM6 Guide.
As to the disappearing Exchange password, I do not experience this pb.
Bye
yes, it is happening to me also on SEA version.
to be honest I was not overly impressed with the official SEA version so went back to AX3L's great ROM.
as for why the exchange and GPRS settings get lost, the only thing I seem to see is that it is if I installed or uninstalled some app that needed a reboot. it was not one particular app but I seemed to see the problem after installing / uninstalling themes and the kaiser home plug.
have you done any of these and seen the issue?

My pop3 account was gone after my FIRST flash with WM6 and install of the Kaiser home plugin. But then I did a hard reset, flash WM6 SEA again, and again hard reset. No problems at all anymore... Thats why I stated the hard reset
after hours of playing with the my bloody machine, i seem to have pinpointed the bloody problem. it is the new windows messenger doing all this crap. I am not sure how as I did not go through the codes but when I don't set up windows messenger and merge the contacts with the device, even if i do a thousand soft reset, the connection to the gprs automatically comes on and my exchange syncs no problem. but when you set up messenger with the device, you start getting the same crap of disappearing gprs settings and exchange password!!!

Me too.SEA version
What a total pain! Guess I'll stick with just the radio upgrade for now then.
I was going to suggest that if things seem funky after a ROM flash it is always worth trying a re-flash in case something just went a little awry first time around. But the fact others have found the same issue seems to clearly warn that this is not a one off misfortune.
Many thanks for letting everyone know... and good luck with straightening it out.
different experience
I had lost my Exchange passward and the Cingular GPRS setting info a couple of times, but after my back up today, I lost all the settings to the point that I couldn't even connect to Wi-Fi. I hadn't done a hard reset after my flash, so I am doing that now. I never set up Messenger, so I can't imagine how that could be the problem.
Would that be the same problem as the device password that some others were screaming in other threads about wrong device password?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317841
I would guess that there's a credential database WM uses to store usernames and passwords, just like your desktop windows OS, and it either got corrupted on the memory or failed to write back to the filesystem after resetting the device.
The result would then be lost passwords, including device passwords, gprs, exchange, mails, wifi...
I have the ANZ official ROM and see the following problems (which I reported a while ago)
1) GPRS password occasionally gets blanked.
2) WEP password lost occasionally
3) Windows Live password lost occasionally .
I can't figure out what causes it- I rarely soft reset, preferring to turn off.
The biggest PITA is that my device code changed, which means I cannot use TT traffic until I get a letter from HTC.
Hmm, i'm suffering this problem also. It is mentioned in one of the various topics of the WM6 - Roms but really doný know where anymore. Anyone knows if this is possible to tackle?
Thanx!

It's not the solution I guess.
I use Prophet, but this is only topic of it.
I can't make a new account, it sais 'Name exists'. But it isn't showing up, and can't find it in the registry ...
Any ideas were to remove the old ones?
No problems for a while
I followed some guidance after having the problems, and for a good many weeks it's been fine (maybe over a month).
I set all the passwords (web, WIFI) and BT pairing.
Then I turned the device off with the power buton (NOT soft reset).
SInce then, it has all stuck.
Hi guys, i'm sure you wil know what the problems are with this.
Trying to install a ROM upgrade and every time i try just as the update starts the trion disconnects from the pc and the upgrade fails. No idea whats causing this.
If you can help would be great.
Thanks
When starting the rom upgrade also 'verifying information on pc' it puts the trion into a mode where you have red,green,blue and white sections, and says USB at the bottom :S
which rom are you trying to upgrade to?
So far that sounds like normal behavior.
Are you waiting to a minute to see what happens. The updater kills the ActiveSync connection, this is normal.
You may want to check out the wiki and do some reading. Also, as the previosus poster says, a little more info may be good.
Your OS
ROM you're on
ROM your trying to go to
SIM & CID status (locked/unlocked)
Thanks.
I got a X01HT and it has been flashed to WM6 by the seller. However, I have some issues with it.
1) everytime I soft reboot it, it will stuck at the green windows mobile interface and not going thru into my 'desktop'...but I can tell that the phone has ready since the GSM signal flashes. but the screen freezes up at the green greeting page...I have to stab the reset hole for more than 15 times and it can finally get into my desktop... pls help me with the boot up issues...it is quite annoying
2) last time my X01HT looks as usual, but the phone function lost without any clue...no calls in and out but all functions are working well. I sware the flight mode is shut off...how this happened ?
3) I can access to the wifi connection in my office and remote control my computer...BUT, I cannot browse any of the web pages on the device thru the IE or other browsers...any suggestions ?
Thank you so much for your help. New to this device.
no one could kindly lend me a hand ?
What error do you get when trying to load a web page in IE?
no error msg...it keeps searching...searching and searching...
maybe you have an old buggy version of wm6 on your device. try to flash a new release and see what happens. if you still have the problems, it may be a hardware problem.
So yeah, i used the new V3a unlock utility, automated version...
Well it also updates the SPL in the process, not sure if this is why I cannot update my ROM to the newest official Cingular Release? What happens is the screen goes blank as if I had it on saving power mode, right when the update officially starts (progress bar stays at 0%), and I get the 460 error or whatever..for some reason my phone loses the ActiveSync connection at the same time screen goes dark.
Then I pickup my phone, everything is fine...but that ROM update puts it to sleep causing it to lose the connection I guess.
So anyway, which would be a ROM that will work for me? Is it not working because that unlock thingy upgraded my SPL?
I currently have WM 2005 on the phone, it is working fine. Just want an upgrade..to WM6.
I have t-mobile..
Go to the wiki and read the section on upgrading ROM via the miniSD card. I couldn't get mine to take via wire, but the SD method worked great.
