XDA Freeze at boot - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

OK, firstly please excuse me if I've asked something that's already been answered. Spent quite some time searching both this site and through google and can't seem to find anyone else that has the same problem.
I've attempted to upgrade my O2 XDA on a number of occasions and always seem to hit the same problem after booting the device.
When cold / warm resetting the device, it always freezes before the today screen launches. At the moment I am staring at the OzUp bootscreen. The device only ever seems to freeze when upgrading the rom past PPC 2002. I've tried (from RomKitchen) wm2003 beta, final, se all with the same result.
There's a couple of bits of information that I can give to possibly help out with a diagnosis:
Wallaby Bootloader V5.22 (does anyone have pre-V5.17 for me to downgrade to)
Working OS Version V3.17.03 (but generally ANY PPC2002 build)
Radio Stack Version 4.21
I also get "G32S54" when booting if that makes any sense to anyone
I do seem to have a problem with the IrDA on the device. Under PPC 2002, any attempted infrared activity will instantly lock the phone, requiring a cold boot to continue. Seeing as I can't find anyone else with the same problem as me when upgrading the OS, I am sort of guessing that this might be the cause of the problem.
However, I've also tried unlocking the XDA (using XDAUnlock) and this also fails (I'm assuming because of the bootloader version). The phone is simlocked onto O2 UK. This could also be a cause of the upgrade fault.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, one thing which makes things all that little more bizarre. From RomKitchen, I tried "R.30.07 ENG Rogers" which seemed to work with no apparent problems, only the PDA side of things works great, but with no backlight, and the phone doesn't work either (and so I binned that idea lol)

Freezing on start-up (Dopod 838Pro)

Hi all,
Hoping someone could help me. My Dopod has been freezing on start-up and after doing countless hard resets i am stuck at the Windows Mobile splash screen!
I have connected it to my PC, but as Windows Mobile hasn't loaded, ActiveSync can't pick-up my Dopod. This means i cannot update or completely re-flash. Is there a way to do this without ActiveSync?
I am now stuck with a Dopod i cannot use. I have no idea what to do.
can you flash using SD card? have a search, im pretty sure that will work.
Or go through the Bricked thread
Are you sure you're doing hard resets and not soft resets? Generally when a freeze occurs, you would soft-reset.
If you have indeed been doing hard-resets, then you most likely have a hardware issue and there's not much anyone here can do to help that.
Have you updated your ROM in the past? If these freezes started after an update, then it may be a bad update, so you could either try flashing from microSD as suggested above, or boot into the bootloader as per instructions in the wiki and flash from there.
Thanks for your replies guys!
I have tried all that. My son knocked my usb cable from my Dopod whilst it was updating my ROM ... that was the cause of my Dopod current 'brick' state!
My bootloader is SPL-1.09, but i have noticed from here that the Dopod ROM that i require (for Hutchinson '3' - Australia) uses bootloader SPL-1.06. Is it true that i cannot down-grade from 1.09 to 1.06?
I ask this question as i get "Invalid Vendor ID" attempting to flash my Dopod with that ROM. When i don't get that, i get communication errors (Update Error) when attempting to run Hard-SPL-V7.
What could i be doing wrong?
Hey guys,
Think i have worked out that my CID is corrupt, therefore i can't flash any ROM even if i wanted to. I used mtty and after a bit of searching in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-291336.html) i found that the 'info 2' result i got (HTCSF kEØ(HTCE) meant my CID was corrupt.
Hopefully i haven't voided my warranty as i haven't attempted to flash any 3rd party ROMS, only the one on the Dopod website that was accidently stopped when my son tripped over the usb cable.
We shall soon find out!

Upgraded SX66 To WM6 (Helmi): Device Passcode No Longer Works

I'm hoping somebody here can help, because I'd hate to have to get rid of a device that I really love...
Used Helmi's WM6 (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...angel_WM6_Home) to upgrade from WM2003SE and everything was working beautifully!
I was absolutely LOVING the new software until my device just stopped accepting the passcode that I had been using for 2 years. What I don't understand is I had to use the passcode a few times after the upgrade and all was fine. What could have happened for it to suddenly change by itself (because I know it wasn't me)?
Someone at the PocketPCAddicts forum suggested that I locate an original factory ROM to wipe out everything on the device and try again from scratch. I've searched the web looking for such a beast and can't find one (since the manufacturer/carrier no longer support it).
Can someone here help?

Had the same problem...
Hi Debbie,
Same thing happened when I upgraded from WM2003 to the WM6 ROM. Unfortunately there was no solution and I just ended up disabling the password to ensure I never got stuck.
If you ever stumble upon a solution that works for you, I'd be happy to hear about it!
I'm about to try out the latest WM6.11 and hope it will have that particular issue solved - I'll let you know.
Ken
if you press and hold power+record+camera the same time and then reset you get to the boot loader.
you will see the 3 options, which i have fogotten, but if you put in the same options as instructions tell you after flashing a new rom, then push the mail button i believe, it will format you memory and you will be able to get back in again.
i had the same problem where i was locked out and i did that and just sync'd again to get back to my positon prior getting locked out.
hope that helps
Thanks, I will try it again.
Should I be able to simply repeat those steps, or should I start from the beginning? I don't have the device with me right now.
Thanks again,
Debbie
follow the instructions after the flashing the rom stage all the way to the end.
you choose to format memory on the gray screen with 3 options.
i flashed the wm6.1(5.2.19716) several days ago, and tested in several situations, my BA can remember the pw now, thanks for the hardwork of rom maker.
Thanks! (Now Internet Problem)
I got it to finally work, after getting a 3rd hand to help in the key combination/timing.
Only problem now is that my SX66 no longer connects to the Internet. Tried every setting/CAB I could find and no dice. AT&T tech and advanced tech support didn't help and I was told that the OS may have corrupted the connectivity.
Should I try loading another WM6 version?
Thanks again,
Debbie

Possible Brick (8125) G4 - At Bootloader Screen

Resolved. Topic Can be Closed / Deleted.
Hello, I am new to the forums and new to reloading phones but fairly tech savvy otherwise.
I have a Cingular 8125 G4 Phone.
Current IPL/SPL
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.0lip
-Can Access Bootloader Screen
-I successfully Unlocked it
-Updated the ROM to WM6
-Come to find it operated much slower then my WM5
-Tried a Different ROM
-Left the Room while it was uploading
-Cat attacked the cord or the phone
-Was Detached during the update process
-Rebooted Phone, stuck at the Basic Splash Screen
-Attempted to do a hard reset. Was able to access this screen, format, but would return back to flash screen and just sit there.
I have spent a couple hours going through the information on the forums but to no avail. I fear I have got a paper weight but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Normally I would keep searching however this may prove to be time sensitive and need all the help
Thank you in Advance
Yours Truely

As Murphy's Law would have it, soons as I post this I come across another post that told me to re-flash and for some reason after attempting to reflash 3-4 times, this time it appears to be taking it. I will keep you folks posted
However The link is broken for the official Cingular 8125 WM5 (What was shipped with the phone). If anyone has a link I would appreciate it if someone could send it to me. I will post once I have received.
Thank you very much.
Phone has recovered. However I would like to restore it back to Factory Defaults for reasons that are my own. I feel I can do it but do not have the Factory Image link.
The Following Link appears to be broken:

AT&T 8125 G4 IPL&SPL
Version 2.25
Original ROM
it's hard to say what rom it had since i got it with wm6.5.
i found a link on this forum to a file called RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_cingular.rar
it seems to be one of the many originals, so i'll try to flash this one as soon as i can figure out the connection issue with ActiveSync. I tried both 4.0 and 4.5 but they both fail to connect i need to fix the pda's display (or wait until it solves itself, like the previous time) in order to troubleshoot the connection error
hi. I hapened for similar trance.
First download RUU_Wizard_Cingular_8125_WIZCNG01_G3_G4_2006_11_May_225_225_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship2
(seek in google)
Second quit the battery (100% charged) and put again. Power the 8125.
Third reset your PC wihout the 8125 connected.
Fourth connect the 8125 and execute the file donwloaded.
I hpe to help.

O2 XDA atom exec wifi/rom upgrade. Please help

I bought a second hand O2 XDA atom exec recently. So far I like the phone, except it seems a bit sluggish sometimes (compared to my HTC harrier WM2003) and the wifi will NOT turn on. I tried using the O2 wireless manager, and the WM wi-fi utility. They both fail to turn the wifi on. The wifi self diagnostic returns "GetAdapterInfo() return FALSE..."
After doing some web searching I am aware that it has 802.11b. I figured that its probably a driver issue. From what I understand the only way to install drivers is to flash it with a ROM that has working wifi.
Im not sure whether to stick with WM5 or move to WM6.
My current:
WM 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
Version:
CMOS: 55.44
ExtRom: EX0033
Hardware: C1
Radio: R060822N_MN2ARC_RS00013
ROM: 20060721B1WWE
Ive noticed that most ROMs don't state if bluetooth/wifi/FMradio is working, or which input methods work, (ie. transcriber, block recognizer etc). Is there a way to tell without installing it on the device first?
Thinking of using either: (it won't let me post links.)
wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_Exec_Upgrades (the WM5 roms)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397725 High Performance Abusalza's in Blue WM6.1
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396799 ATOM EXEC WM6.1 20080417A6WWE ~ ULTRA LOW BATTERY CONSUMPTION [For Evaluation Only]
Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
ROM upgrade froze at 73%
In fear of bricking my phone I decided to stick with WM5, I downloaded one of the official ROMs from the wiki. The update froze at 73% (I left it over night), so I downloaded another ROM (off the same page) and now its also frozen at 73%.
Anybody know why its freezing at that point?
Any advice to get my phone into a working state again? I'm thinking of trying a WM6 rom.
Im starting to wish I had done a ROM dump before I started.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, when I soft-reset the phone it says "Update Utility" and nothing more.
Tried a WM6.1, still gets stuck at 73%. Anybody know whats going on?

mines is froze at the boot screen how to do i fix it any ideas
I had an O2 XDA atom exec and so far when i had i was able to use the wifi promptly without any hassle. I just turned on the wifi and searched a connection then poof, i started browsing the net already. The battery however drained fast. If you are having trouble with the wifi, as you have stated that it gives error issues maybe you should have it reprogrammed or check if first if you have open wifi connections.
theblogpostwriters.com
i got one recently. Wifi connection isnt going well. I did once connect it to my 802.11b network, but a few minutes later it doesnt and never able to connect successfully
confused
the developer itself doesn't provide the legal upgrade of 6.5, or i mustn't have known it..

I rather think that you should first check whether your phone is really bricked, to read the instructions regarding this and to see how to recover from the brick click here!
After you have recovered you phone, I recommend that you use Windows Mobile 6.5!
Thanks!
Always glad to help!

[Q] HP 614c Owner needs help

Helo all - I could really use a hand here. This is the second time I have faced this issue.
When trying to make a call on my 614c when the battery is low, it crashes. Upon reboot, the radio no longer works and I cannot make any calls. It just goes into a permanent "Seaching" mode.
What I've tried:
Reboots - warm and cold
Removing the battery for 30 mins
Reset to defaults
Multiple different ROMs including upgrading and downgrading the Radio
No luck.
Last time (3 months ago) I ended up sending it to ipaqrepair to be fixed.
They said:
"the un-official hacked ROM installed in combination with a corrupt / mismatched GSM Radio ROM, these are the root cause of the issues"
I had actually NOT installed a non-official ROM until after it stopped working in a desperate attempt to fix it. But when they got it, it was a 6.5 ROM.
This time, I had upgraded it to 6.5....but I have since downgraded to the official ROM an installed the. .89 Radio update.
It wont work at all and I can't justify mailing it away for another expensive repair.
Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.....
Any ideas? How can I effectively "blow away" all the software/drivers and set the device up as new? IpaqRepair said it was corrupt software last time....
I've installed different ROMs via flash.dio and I tried the HP radio upgrade RUU_1.8.0_081208_MP_M089_WWE. Are their files or settings that the installs I am doing do not affect - and if so, how do I repair/replace them?
Using Sim Manager, it says the phone is not ready. It's just like the phone radio won't initialize...
This phone originated overseas (Europe) - could that be somehow causing this issue since I'm using it in the USA? Something locking or changing and no longer compatible?
Not sure what else I can do and am missing my phone. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Still fighting with this....maybe onto something now?
When I get the asset viewer information for the phone it shows the radio is present and the firmware number.
the Stack Version, Bootloader Version, Filesystem Verions and Radio GDFS versions are blank.
It does show the IMEI.
I'm guessing I'm missing file/data for the radio....but reinstalling the Radio ROM HP offers has not helped (maybe not complete - just an upgrade?)
Thoughts?
Anyone have a copy of the original ROM and .81 Radio ROM?
Maybe rolling it all the way back might get it operational again....
Official Drivers/Rom/Radio for 614c
Hi,
You can download official drivers from HP website. The forum does not allow me to post the link. Just search for "official 614c drivers" in google and you wil get the link.
Also note, please install using WINDOWS XP os as installing this using other os such windows 7, windows vista etc is not possible.
Okay - I tried installing the software from the HP Website using XP - but it still isn't working. It's just like the software for the radio is corrupted and it won't replace it (does not list the versions like it should when you look at the software inventory).
Is there any way to manually do this? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone can help me get this resolved, I'm definitely buying them a beer.
Basically the GSM just seems to be bricked. Last time a software fix resolved it, but I'm not sure what software needs to be installed to get the radio working again.
What is the best way to blow it all away and start over? Is there a way to manually delete the radio files - or to look at them for versions/dates to see what is corrupt or mismatched.

Bump.....
Still hoping for a solution. I have gone to a Glisten now, but do not like it as much as the 614c.
I'm open to any suggestions.
