I have an unlocked UK O2 XDA that I want to upgrade and I have a couple of questions:
1. If I do an upgrade, will the phone still be unlocked or will I have to re-unlock it ?
2. I only have a USB sync cable and no cradle. Will the upgrade work only with the cable and not the cradle ?.

Yes it will still be unlocked.
Yes you can do it just with a serial cable (it just takes longer than with USB)
Thanks for answering my questions.

hi to everyone,
i have a locked-SIM t-mobile phone edition which i tried to unlock using a serial cable & the manipulator.
the problem is that the manipulator can't find the device after scaning COM port.
i have checked that the port is not blocked by any program including the synchronization programs but there was no luck.
anybody knows what is the problem in my situation?
Be sure to press SIMULTANEOUSLY both power button AND reset with your stylus. This will bring your T-Mobile to WALLABY mode. After the screen reads GSM OK, connect the cable to your phone and PC and run manipulator.
This should work. I have the same T-Mobile and it worked with mine.
There have been posts with reports where people have had problems connecting to the pda because they have been using a laptop...
I unlocked mine on a SONY VAIO laptop successfully.
hi again,
i have tried the exact steps for unlocking but still the device wans't detected by the manipulator.
the synchronization program also can't detect the device if it is pluged using the serial cable.
could anyone please help me? i couldn't use the phone since 1 month.
Try 75656354
Wasn't there in any thread the hint to uninstall ActiveSync to get the manipulator to work?!?!
Search here in the forum. It wasn't posted as long time ago.
Or just try it when you uninstall.
I ment that there was a problem because active sync wants to connect to the XDA/MDA when connecting it to the serial....

Remember you must have the XDA in bootloader mode.
Anyone can help? URGENT !!!
The usb connection is lost in my dopod838, even can not charge the device. Stupid.
I tried to replaced the radio rom via the usb, then there was no reponse for around 25 mins, then i reset the device. At the start-up screen, there is no radio version shown, and finally, i can no aysc the device to my desktop.
What I can do without USB connection and mini SD card ??
Give me a hand please.
Is your device now in bootloader mode as in do you see a number on the bottom of the screen? If you do, then it means you are in the bootloader model. All you need to do now is re-install your ROM and everything should be back to normal.
UD.
Have you tried a/c charger and usb cable?
If there is nothing either way (no orange light) then it may be a hardware fault.
Also try a hard reset again just in case...else it's a warranty job I reckon.

recovered.
Thanks for your kindly replies.

ok,
If there's a connectivity problem,there are a couple of things to verify it.First which windows are you using,if its winvista,you'll have problems,activesync doesn't work with vista,secondly its not recommended to work on vista.So get on with winXP and also get Activesync version 4.5 the latest.In activesync check the option 'allow usb connections' and in your phone goto settings---> connections and 'uncheck' 'establish all network connections' or something and then try to establish activesync connectivity.If still fails,than,
2. verify usb connectivity with pc, to do so get your phone into bootloaders mode (multicolor screen) by pressing and keep holding down the camera button and simultaneously push the Power On button,your phone will wake up and go into tricolor screen (Bootloaders mode)with ipl/spl showing in red colors.When in bootloaders,connect your phone with pc via usb cable,if a small usb appears at the bottom of the tricolor screen,then its has connectivity,but if doesn't appears,then you have a connectivity problem,so:-
a. either your usb cable is faulty,get a new usb cable and try again.
b. or usb input slot of your pc is not operating,try with a different usb input slot of your pc or even try out on an another pc.
c. Mini usb port of your phone is broken,get it repaired or replaced.
check out all these options and rectify the problem.
Cheers !
ok just to verify i am using wins XP and i have removed entirely activesync, reinstalled it checked to see if there is connectivity VIa boot loader and still it comes back that there is a usb malfunction is there ANY drivers i might need?
dude dont know about your unlocking problem, would be nice to hear that youv solved it... wouldnt it be nice if this world had no problems? but then saying that this forum would not exist... and troubleshooters wouldnt have jobs! lol
a) Unlocking NO...
b) active sync... Bluetooth... just rememberd you cant get in can you? to connect ia bluetooth?
email me privately on [email protected] and i may be able to help you if not ill find a way... a bit lost in the head (Attention Dissorder) cant focus...

Nopes !
You got to have physical connection between phone and pc via usb cable and Active synchronize. Although,you can establish and active sync through BlueTooth,but its not possible to flash a Rom with BT,coz Rom is flashed in Bootloaders mode,where BT looses its connection in bootloaders,therefore,only usb cable maintains the connections in bootloaders.Just buy a compatible usb data cable from any Mobile repair shop,its not much expensive or borrow it from a friend.
Btw,how do you charge your phone,do you charge it through Wall charger or also with usb cable and pc ?
First, CID unlock the phone,only then it'll upgrade to any wm6 or 6.1 latest Roms.You'll find all the latest wm6.1 roms in the 'Wizard mobile 6' forum.
Cheers!
Hello all
This is my first post here so excuse me if this is a stupid question.
I have recently acquired an O2 XDA Wallaby. I have successfully managed to unlock the phone with xda manipulator.
My problem is that I also want to upgrade the ROM but I did not get a USB cradle with the device I only have a COM cable.
When I start the ROM upgrade it stops because it says that the device needs to be plugged into the power to continue. Obviously the problem is that if I plug-in to the mains then I have to unplug the COM cable ?????
Any Ideas ? Can a ROM upgrade be run from an SD card?
Thanks !!!
