Hi guys,
Recently I updated my XDA Orbit with the new WM6.1 Diamondish ROM. Everything went great until I tried to install the Oops 6.1 ROM. Before trying to install the Oops ROM I tried to unlock the CID just in case (with your Artemis_USPL tool)... Half way through the setup screen displayed an error saying "Connection error... Please check the USB connection...". Just to clarify I never managed to install the Oops file.
Then I tried to install the original XDA WM6 ROM but with no luck as I got the same error again. Then I tried to start the bootloader manually (by pressing the voice recorder button along with the Reset one) and instead of the usuall 3 colour screen I got a blank white one. Afterwards the phone froze and I had to reset it so that I can use it again.
I did a small search on your website but because I wasn't able to find another similar case I decided to start a new thread.
Currently my phone works perfectly fine with my previous Diamondish ROM, but I seems that I can't install anything else.
Could it be a corrupted bootloader? If so, how can I fix it?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in andance!!!
Take out your MicroSD card and then try and flash
You were right! Once I got my memory card off my phone, the bootloader started as usual. Cheers mate!!!

Hello Guys,
Disaster. I tried updating to the new ROM from the O2 website and it fails with : "ERROR114....
Tried the version from this great forum and guess what? same error.....
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
My XDAIIi was brill. Now its dead...
Try putting the 2i into bootloader mode by pressing the power button, action pad down and the reset button at the same time. The screen will say serial with a version number at the bottom. When you connect it to your computer this should change to USB. Then try running the update again.
If you are using the modified version I posted on this site then the install will fail. Just run the program MAUpgradeUT_noid.exe a second time without touching the 2i at all.
Hope all goes well.
Hi Pug,
Unfortunaely that has not work. see screen shots attached.
can anyone tell me what this damn error is pls...............
oh by the way the iMate PDA2 rom fails as well with the same error. !!
If both your devices are failing to upgrade the problem must lie with your computer somewhere.
Are you using firewalls like zonealarm which may be interfering with the update process. If so try disabling them.
I assume you are connecting using USB and not serial. Do so if for no other reason than it's faster.
Are you using Activesync 4? More stable for upgrading than 3.8 but lacks sync over LAN feature - not a great deal if you've never used it. You can find this on the wiki link top left of this page.
Try downloading the packages again. I've posted the radio rom here as thats the one you seem to be having immediate problems with. Download it and overwrite the one on my modified rom.
I'll post more if I think of anything as I'm suffering a hangover right now and can't think too much cos it hurts. :?
thnx pug,
really appreciate your help. yes iam running firewall (norton). I will try your modified radio and advise. fingers crossed. and thnx once again.
using activesynch 4 as well from this forum
Hi pug,
Sorry the radio did not work. renamed the radio and ran update and the update works for nk.nbf and ms.nbf files. without radio the phone does not work but proved that there is no problem with my pc or usb cradle etc. the problem is the radio.
my IMEI is 354962000270150.
the radio file from the Launch rom from O2 does not work, so either my IIi has a damaged component or something else that I am not aware of.
copied your radio file to the other iMate upgrade and it still fails with the same error 114 !!
Any other ideas or suggestions pls, its really depressing to loose the XDAIIi permanently.
Oh I forgot to mention that the IIi is also unlocked and the ExtROm is unlocked as well. Will this make a diffeence?
The fact that the 2i is unlocked won't make any difference. The EXTRom on the 2i can't be unlocked and always results in the storage being locked which will stop the phone being updated. Maybe not at the actual update stage but certainly further down the line after the hard reset.
Ok now I have have tried various things as posted in this forum in various sections. Still get the same error.
Originally about 3 months ago, I had to hard reset, then I used the Launch ROM from the O2 website. I still have that original exe but that also NOW fails. I am now running out of options.
Any other ideas?
It might be that because you have unlocked the Extended ROM that it causes this fault, either that or you device has an internal problem which you cannot fix.
Take it back to the shop they will replace it.
114 error
I got my XDA2i back from O2 after a warranty mainboard replacement and decided to upgrade with the new O2 rom..horrors.. I got the 114 error and repeated efforts failed to cure it. I then inatalled a/sync on another PC and ran the upgrade from there...
Bingo! it worked..always worth a try if things defy logic.
Probably an old firewall that didn't uninstall properly.
One thing though, does anybody know when my backup battery will kick in and charge.
It arrived back from O2 completely dead but even with the main battery full it doesn't want to take a charge yet??
Hitla
Just humour me and try the radio upgrade on another PC... That's how i got round my 114 error
To all the people who have advised me... thank you.
I have tried the upgrade on 2 other laptops I have, one with Activesync 4 and one with Activesync 3.8.
AND..... the same failure error.
I have now taken it back to O2 and they have taken it in for repair !!
Should rcv it back next week hopefully repaired or replaced !!
Will keep you guys posted.
Once again great forum and great posters with serious technical advice.
Well done keep it up.
Soory guys,
Have been away for the last few weeks, so unable to update you all.
Well O2 replaced my device. It has the new ROM but the old radio !!
I would like to thank all of you advised me.
Hi,
I just downloaded the O2 Rom-Upgrade.
To keep my 2020i in German I only did a Radio-Update from 1.02 (ran the installer and copied the files to a different directory together with the AllUgrade kindasomething.....)
The update worked, it always worked this way, but after the update the Radio showed up as 1.00.00 (MUST be 1.03, at least that is what o2 says....)
Any idea?
Thanks, Günter
P.S.: I should add that the phone works..
ok i've done a bit of searching and i'm pretty sure its software related.
i got an mda pro from when i booted the phone up its had a o2 splash screen, so im assuming its had its software updated. so the phone works fine for about 6 hours or so but then it starts tt freeze up, propgrams stop responding and the phone wont do any thing. i left the phone like this for a few moments then i got a txt and the phone seamed to be working fine untill i went to use the camera and i got "the file camera cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted cert or one of its components can not be found you might need to reinstall or restore this file".
ok so i had a look and found the Available Universal Versions and Upgrades
the thing is i'm not sure which is the best to use or how to do it.
what would you guys recomend i do ?
thanks
MDA Pro with O2 Rom?
Seems so that there is other Rom on it. Normally, this is not a Problem, but who knows, what was changed in this Rom.
I would recommend to download new Rom and install this.
Try http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html
Thats got the latest XDA update.... give it a go and then get the new 1.09.00 radio update too...
Hopefully that will sort you out!
chears i'll give that one a go and see what happpens. fingers crossed
ok so i downloaded the Xda Exec ROM v 1.13.188 from the above site followed the directions in the pdf file, connected the phone and made sure there arnt any programs running in the backgroung. when i try to runn the application to do the upgrade it says its trying to connect to the phone then gives
"error 201: get device data error
can not get device data
please make sure device is connected and run this update utility again"
only problem is that it is connected or so ms active sync says.
any ideas whats goign on or is there another way to update the software ?
thanks guys its apreciated
ok so i managed to get past that stage but
now i get
error 102 ce image file check sum error
the rom image file to be used for the update is corroupt. please download the correct device software update utility and try again.
i have no idea what that means any sugestions ?
@cusaeng, can't help with the ROM update but your initial problem of problems after 6 hours is typical of the Universal when its running low on RAM. Use an app like GSPMaigc+ which can really close processes and reboot once a day (obviously once you solve the ROM issue).
chears i'll look in to that program once i get the rom issues sorted
i've trued downloading a version of the jas jar rom and that give the same error message about being unable to get device information.
when i flashed phones befor eg a motorola a1000 you had to get the phone in to bootloader mode then use a progran to flash it is it a simaler process with the mda ?
i really dont know if i'm doing anything wrong or not
Hey, I tried the wm6 update and tried it, its prepared, the % came up then stopped and told me
The update utility cannot be used on your pda phone. please check your update utility.
Im using activesync 4.5 and my phone is uk t-mobile ameo.
There is now no software on my phone and i cannot use it?
please can someone help even to get it back to how it was?
thanks
matteus
i am not expertised on this matter but:
- did you unlock your device?
- have you tried other roms?
- did you hard reset manually it?
hey, no i didnt unlock it i realised that now. i want to reflash original rom (where can i get?) then unlock an update. i miss it already
hard reset manually will help, then you try to upgrade.
i done a hard reset many times. the 'press cennter key to reset' comes up, i push it an bak square 1. where can i get orig tmobile rom??
i'm pretty sure that the link to your rom has already been posted here several times, but i can only find the german tmob rom.
check some of the big threads about wm6 and unlocking
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
Hello all,
okay, this is the history...
I just recently got a brand new mogul with windows 6.1 from sprint 2 days ago. Everything was looking smooth, however, internet sharing was a problem- i could no longer use the internet on my laptop through the phone. In the process of trying to figure out how to do a registry edit, i ended downloading TitanUnlocker.exe and ran the program.
The problem...
I am currently stuck in the tri-color screen with SPL-1.20 Olipro bootloader and no longer able to load anything else.
the radio roms that are suppose to function with this bootloader no longer exist (dead links at fileshex).
Please help!

Update
OK, I went through a number of steps to get my phone back to stock. Thanks to the forum for the info. If you were in the same situation as I was and would like me to elaborate...i can..
