Hi All,
I decided to upgrade my O2 XDA Orbit - Model:Arte200 Software Windows Mobile5 to Version 6. Along the way it has now appeared to bricked. What i get is the following when booting:
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.000
GSM 02.67.90
OS: now 3.4.0.0
Then it sticks there and won't go any further.
This is from December 2006, Bios is April 2006.
Are there any old Roms that would work still for this? On the links they only start from the O2 Orbit2 onwards.
I am completely new to this , and so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Tried to make a bootloader, but getting nowhere there either.
Many thx
Guys,
A HUGE thanks to RAVING_NANZA for steps that he provided to another stuck user. Used those steps and now running like a charm.
So, upgraded to the original O2 Windows Mobile 6, will load some new mods and versions.
Once again thanks.

i made : light power reset but it tell me erorr country id

use the MaUpgrade_noID.exe to start the upgrade. It is available from the ftp section of this site. I did this yesterday and it worked first time
Hi Weasel, what do you think of the Qtek ROM? I recently changed from the O2 ROM to the Imate version, would be interested to know what you think are the Pros and Cons of your latest ROM?
Thanks

Hi
I have just gone through the update process (to UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe) with my xda exec as I was on the latest o2 rom and I followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
The bit I hadn't picked up before was the .nbf files have to be in the same directory as the rest of the update and MaUpgradeUt_noID - I deleted the radio version witin the folder (radio_.nbf_) and then pasted in the 1.0.9 one which I downloaded speratly - hit MaUpgradeUt_noID and everything completed within 30 mins or so.
The xda is like a new machine compared to the old o2 rom I was on as it's soooo much quicker.
Oh i was worried about not having my o2 settings but if you download this cab file and run this cab[/url after you have finished setting it up on qtek rom you get all your setting back for o2 (choose basic when using cab not corporate as that doesn't seem to work!
Hi Andy, what do you think of the Qtek ROM? I recently changed from the O2 ROM to the iMate version, would be interested to know what you think are the Pros and Cons of your latest ROM?
sorry for the delay in responding:
My first impressions of the QTEK ROM were fine but.... on Sunday, the phone just stopped working completely - no signal etc. Hard reset was required to get it working again. I've disabled error reporting and will load my software back on later today.

Hi, I got my Qtek S200 aka iMate Jamin yesterday and I tried to do a ROM upgrade. I followed the instructions given in the website http://kimpeacocke.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-perform-rom-upgrade-on-your-i.htm l
I got the upgrade from this site at ftp://xda:[email protected]//Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/RUU_Prophet_2 151327_22113102_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101.zip
I followed the procedure given in the website given above. After I upgraded successfully everything on the phone was wiped out. Since there was no instruction to backup the files, I did not do it. Now all that I see is a four colored screen saying RUU in the top right corner, IPL 2.09 in the top left corner and SPL 2.09 below it.
Does anyone know how to get my phone working again? Do I have to install all the applications including windows mobile 5.0?
If yes, please tell me where to get the softwares for the Qtek S200 and info on how to install it.
Thanks in advance.....
same problem !
Hi !
I unfortunatly experienced the same pb with my XDA Mini S (four color lines etc...), so kindly give me a shout may you find any solution! I will proceed same

Hi guys.
I am looking for latest ROM upgrade for O2 Xda Exec. I searched the form and eveylink is down.
From the O2 site, this phone is discontinued so out of luck for me i guess?
they refer me to a non UK based side as im not a UK customer but even there i can't find the ROM upgrade.
What i have now was what it was 1st manufactured with. So this puts me back and realized alot of applications and programs i want to have i.e. iphone look, i need this upgrade.
If anyone has a link i would truly appriciate it.
Here was the link from this forum but as you can see all links are down

oh man...
ran this and BAD news
my device isnt even starting up now. it did it then showed error then it showed asked me to do the recovery steps so i did and when i hard reset it it shows the white skin to press x or 0 so i left it and on my computer is said press next.suddenly the computer says it got a problem. i am using vista
can anyone help.
im in a bigger fix now, trying to fix a small problem!
My O2
upgraded without any problems and very fast, I was holding off upgrading the original O2 Exec ROM for quite some time, because I was worried my Imate ROM and software experiments might go wrong one day and I'll at least have a working O2 to get me through. However, my JasJar ran into problems with Ranju 7.7 update and was bricked and stuck on Imate blue versions screen (an equivalent of O2's water bubbles splash) for good. I tried everything. At some point I even tried to calm myself down by thinking that at least I can salvage the brand new screen I had installed a few weeks ago and put it into another JasJar I have that needs one. For my solution see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2229386#post2229386
Although it's for JasJar, I think it just might work for you.
Hope it helps
On the other hand
if you have access to an XP computer, I'd take my ROM and AS4.5 and try to upgrade with XP. I heard Vista can be quite unreliable in such matters. If I am not mistaken, there is a thread somewhere about that very problem with Vista.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this and post back.
Edit:
Problem fixed. All i did was use a Win XP computer, installed ActiveSync 4.1
Did a soft reset while XDA was plugged it and opened the ROM by Ranju 7.7
Came up with no problems at all!
Now only one more thing to solve. My 500GB external HD fell to the floor and now computer isnt picking it up and its making weird sounds. I have 300GB worth of medical school stuff and programs. If i dont get my datea then i am done for. If anyone has info on this let me know.
Cheers
Where do I get Ranju 7.7 from?
Is there a link to Ranju 7.7?
And so it works well for O2's XDA EXEC?
Do a simple search. Here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367448
yes it works with O2 XDA Exec as i did it with mine.
I had the original ROM that the device came with and it installed a really excellent interface and you will have Win Mobile 6
I would really advice you to run it with a Win XP computer only. Vista is not friendly at all.
Hi Guys,
I want to upgrade my O2 XDA Orbit to WM 6.5 but can't find any thing on the internet... there are quite a few websites talking about it but none of them have a link for the software or the list of instructions to follow. I am fairly new to this whole upgrading thing, so would really appreciate if one you can please push me in the right direction.
The details of my mobile phone are:
Model: O2 XDA Orbit
Processor: OMAP850-201MHz
currently on WM 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
I need the link to the software and the instructions to follow.
Many Thanks,
Mahesh

you need to look in the artemis section
look in my signature for some of the ROMs i have made (they are a bit old since i am away from the artemis scene these days)
and you can look out for shady's ROMs in artemis section

... can somebody tel my if i yhere is any chance to make it work?...
Hi,
Just bought an unused O2 Xda Orbit off eBay, works fine with my Tesco Sim card, except won't connect to the update server, even using wi-fi, but that not the major issue.
I've read so many different threads about using 4GB Micro SDHC cards, I've tried updating the ROM more times than I can remember.
I'm running windows 7 Enterprise so had to install Windows XP Mode etc., but I keep getting told that the update utility I'm using needs to be newer.
What I've got atm.
ROM Version 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM Date 4/18/07
Radio Version 02.67.90
Protocol Version 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version 3.4.206.101
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
The Update utility I've got, with any ROM update I've found, (although Artemis Touch 4.02 is the one I've still got), is version is 3.6.3.0.
Can anybody point me in the right direction please.
I will buy a 2GB SD card as an interim measure, but once I've put Co-Pilot 8 on that there won't be much room left. If someone has found a better sat-nav program that works on the Xda Orbit, only need UK & Ireland really, but Europe will do, I'm happy to take suggestions.
PC's I can fix with my eyes closed, but I'm a bit lost with this.
Thanks in advance from an old sad git
