i really screwed my xda!!! help!!! Please

I have rom 4.00.16 from the kitchen, and i wanted to upgrade the radio.
I had ver. 5.15 and i downloaded the radio upgrade from xda.ie (the first one that apeared in a google "xda radio upgrade" search.
Since it didn't tell me the radio version i was going to upgrade i installed it to the xda, and as soon it finished installed the xda self-soft-reseted and asked me for mim password, i have entered it and it started to do the upgrade by itself and got stuck at 10% for several minutes and frozee there.
I have already soft-reseted, hard-reseted, but without sucess my xda wont boot the OS, only displays the "not for sale" screen with the following info:
G
R
4.00.16

Help please!!!!
I dont have a sd card reader!!!!
Any other possible workarounds???
you can help me here or by my msn messenger: [email protected]
I'm stuck with out a mobile phone.

You have to have a card reader to fix it. There is no other way. You have to upgrade OS (using SD card method) and then try installing radio upgrade again.

I have already done that.
Now i can boot the xda (pressing the volume button) but as soon it starts making the upgrade it says it fails (at 1%)
The worst part is that the xda isn't charging (or it doesn't assume it's charging and that's why it doesn't continue with the upgrade).
I've already tried to copy the gsm soft from a working qtek 1010 using the bootloader gsm to sd method, but no sucess since nothing happens (i insert the serial cable on the xda but mtty.exe doesn't react or recognize the xda - any possibel mistake i'm making here???).
Help most wanted, since i can't afford at this time to pay for a motherboard replacement - this is my only solution according to the qtek technical support here in Portugal (and hey, thanks a lot for your time )
Anyone can please suggest any possible solution?!?!?!?
You can feel free to use my msn: [email protected] to contact me...
I will pass some licenced software to the person that can help me solving my problem!!!!
TIA

Maybe this thread can give you any help :?: :?: http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2489

Why it tries to run upgrade upon boot? When I flashed my OS there were no files under start up folder to run upgrade executable. I suggest boot your XDA and remove everything from Startup folder

My main problem is that i can't get the xda to charge (or at least assume it's charging the led is always off).
Isn't there a way to crack the rsu to avoid him to check battery status an carry on with the upgrade (cracker's welcomed )??
I think that would solve my problem
I can boot the OS by pressing the volume key (already changed to several OS's to see if one coulde handle with the charging problem.)
And i can sync with my desktop.
But i cant upgrade via programme A.
Programme B installs on the xda but when it reboot's it stop's at 1%
I now have a original o2 3.17.3 and my bootloader is 5.15
I've seen that in the bootloader we have the chance to backup the gsm rom to a SD card! But how to restore it??? If anyone can make such a backup and has a way to restore it can you please share it with me???
As i said i don't have the money to exchange my motherboard (that's the answer from QTEK'S support i've got (great guys thank's again for your time)
I've arranged a conmceptronics sd/mmc/ms/sm/etc.../etc... card reader.
So if one finds a way of backing up the gsm rom, copy it to the sd and zip it using the rom tools here available could you please send it to me???
Thanx in advance

Another thing:
with this rom installed if i go to backlight settings it wont turn off the backlight.

Hi,
I need urgent help
Qtek Support here in Portugal gave me a qtek unit for a few days to see if i find a way to recover mine without replacing the motherboard.
I have the following material:
-1 working qtek 1010
-1 damaged xda
-usb cradle
-serial cable
-sd card reader
-1 128mb twinmus sd card
-charger
-etc...
What can i do to solve my problem
Please help
TIA

PW10B1's ID as PW10A1

For some odd reason my T-Mobile PW10B1 (as labeled on the back of the device) is identified as PW10A1 in Device Information. I never paid any attention to that, but I got an error 012 when trying to upgrade to T-Mobile W2003. I'm currently running 3.17.03 (the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2), so perhaps prior upgrade affected the stock ID change from B to A.
How do I change it back to PW10B1, or how do I go about installing W2003 on my messed up device.
Thanks,
Marcin

Marcin,
i have the same with my AT&T. however i'm able to upgrade it to WM2003. the only thing confusing me that after upgrade it is stuck on splash screen, no further load. i tried different methods and versions... no results...
if you find the answer, please let me know

I can fix the problem!

Marcin, all you need to do is get an sd card and reader writer, you can then do the sd method of flashing which bypasses version checking. You will need xdatools also, just pass your mouse over xdatools link and you can download it from there.

very helpful
Nice advice, cgigate...that was very helpful...

cruisin,
I am in the same situation as marcin.
Please confirm my understandingof the bootloading from SD:
1. Using the SD+card reader, I copy the W2003 NK.NBF file to the SD.
2. Insert the SD card into the XDA
3. Goto the bootloader mode (power + soft reset) and press the middle of the rocker key.
4. After the ex counter increases.. at the end, press hard reset.
5. After 60 sec press hard reset again
If this is correct then why do I need the XDATools for?

Copying the file to sd will not work, it needs to be in a special format for the xda to boot the rom burning procedure, you will need xdatools. At the end you push the unscrewed end of the stylus into the tiny hole bottome right of xda, then again after 60 seconds and you should have a working system.

cruisin-thru
Thanks cruisin-thru.
I want to be very clear before starting the upgrade, so..Do I use the OSImageTool to special format for the XDA to boot from the SD?
Thanks again for your patience!
BTW: I did steps 1 to 4 of "unlock Wiz/Wallaby/SER/Backup and
now I (like marcin, have my T-Mobile PW10B1 identified as
PW10A1). I have yet to do the steps 5, 6 and 7. If I do these
steps. Will the identification be corrected?

so..Do I use the OSImageTool to special format for the XDA to boot from the SD?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes after osimagetool have copied the rom to the sdcard the card should be unreadble to anything but the xda's bootloader

Upgrade to W2003
It is my great pleasure to have great and helpful people who advised and suported me in my XDA fiddling adventures. I have now upgraded to W2003 and unlock my phone to use any provider I wish.
Thanks to all!
Melody

Help me please !!
I have a XDA PW10A1 without the instalation cd-rom where do i find the drivers for my XDA ....... please help me !!!

Valikos, the only installation you should need is activesync which is freely downloadable from the microsoft web page.

Yes but!
If i have Win98 SE my computer do not see my xda , there are not drivers for 98 ? ....

Just make sure you have the latest ActiveSync version which is 3.7.1 ... sometimes uninstall then re-install solves this issue.

ok .. another question .... i have all my contacts in to a motorola accompli 008 and like the xda i don't have the instalation cd and no drivers , where do i find the drivers for this one , because i have more that 200 contacts in this one and i wold like to transfer all contacts in the xda

XDA 1 not working

Hi,
I was upgrading the software upgarde on my device. I successfully upgraded the Pocket PC software on the O2 XDA, but when I tried to upgrade the GSM radio/GPRS software of the O2 XDa, it gave some error and after this my device is not starting at all. The only mistake I did was that "I did not remove the SIM card before upgrading the GSM radio/GPRS software" The device does not start even after cold booting the same. When I start the device, the O2 screen comes and after a quite long time the main window does come but I cannot do anything. I tried to tap on contacts, time, tasks but nothing happens. I can see the windows logo wall paper but cannot do anything. Please help on how I can restore back my O2 as a cold reset also does not work. :?
Thanks and Regards
Jinesh

Hi,
I have tried all the available options but it still does not work. To restore the ROM how do I get access to the O2 cause niether serial nor USB is detecting it.
Please help.

SD card install guide
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

Thanks Chief, I will try out and let you know.

Hi Rudegar,
I tried the procedure given by you. I was able to write to the flash successfully. After writing to the flash it gave a message "Checksum OK, Please cold reboot to reset".
I did a cold reboot. After starting the O2, it showed the O2 logo screen and after quite a long time, it asked me wether I want to format the SD card or not. After that it took me to the default screen of XDA wher eit showed options like "Add today's date, Contacts, Schedule etc etc. but upon tapping any of the options the O2 behaves erratically. If I tap on today's date it takes me somewhere else. Inshort it does not work.
I again did a cold reboot and now the device is in its original position i.e not going after the O2 logo where it gets stuck up.
One thing I would like to mention is that all these activities have been done putting the O2 on the cardle only as the battery is totally discharged and the device turns on only after putting it on cradle. Even after the cold reboot it does not start unless I put it on the cradle whichis connected to the mains. Is it Ok with this or am I doing something wrong? The battery does not charge and hence I have to do it in this way.
Please suggest what wrong am I doing? Any suggestions from anyone will be welcome.
regards
Jinesh

Hi,
Someone posted the original O2 ROM on this site and I downloaded the same after which I was partially succesful in flashing the ROM and reviving my dead O2 back to half life. :roll:
I burned the ROM on
to my SD Card and flashed the ROM on to my O2. After
successfully flashing the ROM I rebooted the device.
The device now starts Windows but it takes atleast 15
minutes to start. I get the today screen. WHen I cick
on start the start menu appears after a delay of 10
seconds and all applications run normal, however all
this happens only on the Cradle only.
When I go into the Battery Settings it shows "Battery
Status Unknown".
Also none of the phone functions work. The SIM card is
not recognized and in device information it does
dispaly the "IMEI number" and the "Protocl Version"
I am only able to use inbuilt phone applications.
Is there some problem with my battery cause it is not
charging even on the cradle.
Device Information does not show Radio Version, Protocl Version & IMEI number at all.
Can anyone please help me?

hello all,
it means that your radio stack are dead. Currently, We don't have any real method to fix this problem. When the radio stack is error, you can not upgrade it or do anything to make it work. We can only upgrade or downgrade the radio stack if it works. Also if you try to upgrade the radio stack, we realy need to flash the chip using a speceial tool or need the sd card which build in radio stack with we can only flash in bootloaading mode. Howerver, in some case, we can fix it but .... I think it is just lucky or the xda error when battery problem.... in this case, just disconnect the battery few minutes and connect it again by pressing the battery hole.
Regards,
Hoanghon
p.s. I have dead xda. I killed it when I upgraded the RADIO STACK. Therefore, if you are really need to upgrade the radio stack, I recommend use the official upgrade for secuirity. or just upgrade the rom only.
Note:
To eliminating the error, you need to upgrade the rom or the radio stack, you need to check if the rom fix the radio stack or the stack you are trying to upgrade it fix the rom or not.(ie, Tmobile Rom have to use it radio stack built for Tmobile pocket pc...... I know that in some case when we mix between the radio stack and OS it works but I don't think it work propertly. Anyhow the mixing bettween radio stack and OS is very dangerous if it doesn't suppport then you have to reflash the radio stack or rom(the OS is Okay but the keep upgrading the radio stack may cause the radio stack killed)

please how can i do hard rest

Hard Reset can be done by unscrewing your pen and sticking twice in the little hole near the earphone connector. But entering bootloader (power button and soft reset) ha teh same effect.
You can not use the exe file for flashing directly, because flashing via exe file requires a ActiveSync connection between PC an Phone...
For flashing read this:

thanks for your replay and iam sorry for two post which i wrote i do as you tell me now iwant to flash it but i dont know how can i put it in flash mode i put it in gsm ok but computer cannot see it do inedd any driver so please replay soon

his link describe how you put a rom on a sd card which automaticly
update the device when it's in bootloader mode (the thing you call gsm ok mode)

friend when i put it in gsm ok my computer cant see itit see )unkwon so how can i put it in flash mode please help me in his link there is no way to put it in flash mode

If the file is writtten in correct format on the SD Card and you enter the bootloader with the insert SD-Card, it will go automaticly in Flashmode.
If that happend not on your device, the ROM is not written correctly on the SD Card.
Stefan

at no point in the linked page do your phone have to be detected or comm in any way with the computer

when i press copy it saye please connect your xda to active syinc
how can i connect it to active syice and its hange in qtek. my pc cannot see it

please if any one can tell me how can i do Hard Reset becuase i dont understand (Hard Reset can be done by unscrewing your pen and sticking twice in the little hole near the earphone connector) i think its soft rest and i want hard rest

there is two hole near ear phone connectre do you want me topress it in the same time for secondes i pressed it but same problem

The way to do a hard reset is to remove the power of the battery. This is done by the small hole on the side of the earphone connector, marked with a battery sign.
But this will not help you. You require a SD-Card and an SD-Card writer to flash a new ROM on your device. All have already said on the first postings.
Stefan

friend tell me how can i copy rom update to sd card with boot

Already done. See the link to wiki.....
Stefan

it aske me for nbi files and i dont have it so from where i can download it .
itry rest+power button then i go to flash tools and i select ce os+boot to sd and i copy it completed then i do rest i go to sd download and i download it but same problem .
so from where i can nb1 files

You can use either nb1 or nbf files. You can extract tgat file from any existing ROM in EXE-Format (using winzip) or download the nbf format from the Romkitchen for example....
Stefan

LumpiStefan thanks 10000 you are agood friend phone now back to live thanks
for all your help .
please where can i found ararbic rom thanks

You´re welcome....
As much as ii know there is no Arabic ROM available. Just english, french, spanish, iatlian, german and one chinese version.....
If you take a look at the wiki page, there can you find all available ROMs that are known to me....

How to save my Artemis by sd card

Dear everybody,
I have also killed my 2 day old MDA compact 3 by using the PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe (Feel really frustrated about it)
It will not load windows only
IPL 1.13.0001
SPL 1.13.0001
GSM 02.49.90
OS 1.28.0.0
I've tried a lot but nothing has worked so far. Now my last resort is using XDA tools to make a bootable sd card.
Is there anyone who make a file that the artemis can use of an SD card?
I would be very much obliged!

did you do CID unlock before installing new ROM?

CID unlock is not required for flashing the PDAMobiz Powermap 1.1.2 ROM. Just make sure you follow the right instructions. I did it and you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294830&page=2
But make sure that you have synced your Outlook data on desktop as there is something wrong with restoring from backup file the PIM related info (I use Spb Backup, but seems it is same with any backup application)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295295

more info.
ianvanhaaren:
1. Please provide more info what exactly happens when you try to turn on your device.
2. What type of error you have when you try to re-flash device? At what percent it stops.
3. Connect device to USB, disable USB connection in activesync. Start mtty console, choose USB type connection (mtty attached, in case you need it).
4. type set 32 in console. send this output.
If CID area on device is corrupted, for the moment only imei-check who knows how to re-calculate this area. Even so, if device won't boot in windows it will not help. You need to connect to device thru jtag interface, in order to load modified spl into ram and perform writing into security area, to recover it. Imei-check says, they know jtag for Artemis.
It may cost you a bit of money.
If you have an option to send it to service center, do it. It would be your best choice.
Regards.
