XDAIIi New ROM from O2 and xdaforum, both fail with ERROR114

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..

XDA Freeze at boot

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)

Alpine Upg hangs at Radio update-Help. PDA has no op sys now

Hi
My alpine had been upgraded to 02's new rom which took the radio back to 1.0. I don't use the Blackberry functionality so decided to try Pug's update. I also hate all the 02 stuff (no longer with them anyway) but after following the readme and forum comments to the letter the upgrade - using Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped.rar hung at the radio update bit - every time and I tried loads.
I then decided to reinstall the the 02 (my-xda site) update which also didn't work. I've now tried putting the alpine into bootloader mode and trying the upgrade with three of the files Pug kindly put up. I've rebooted my pc between, tried everything I can think of several times, each time only trying something different after trying the same way more than once and I am left with a PDA with a blank screen which only reads USB v1.01.
Sorry, additional info. I don't have to use Task Manager to end the process as I get this error which allows me to exit:
Error 114: Radio Rom Update Error.
I used Winrar (new beta version) to extract the .rar file(s).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Leanne

It's probably OK!
Still - don't panic - you should have found out by now that if you do a reset it will load all the original ROM info and you should be back where you started.
I suggest you read through all the posts in pugs ROM thread. In there you will find a reply from christoperwoods pointing to a patched installer located at :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
Follow the instructions and you should be OK.
After the reset try the ROM upgrade again. As long as you have external power (and I would strongly recommend using the mains adapter as USB power is not as reliable as you may think) throughout the upgrade - which takes 20-30 mins in total - you should be OK.
I would be interested in what you think of it - I actually went from the ROM version you are trying to load to the O2 .171 ROM upgrade yesterday as I was having problems with GPS connectivity on the pug ROM. I know the radio stack is only 1.00 - but it works for me.
Phil

XDA Radio upgrade hang prob.
Huge thanks for responding, Phil. Unfortunately no amount of resetting, either normally or bootloader mode has worked.
I had read through all Pugs' threads, but took your suggestion on board and re-read in case I had missed something. I also tried the alternative patched installer you mentioned - to no avail.
I've had a chat with an XDA repair house now and we think it may be a problem with the connectors, but even if it isn't I am dropping the pda into them as I have a very limited timeframe to get a fix done (it's Friday and I leave the country on Tuesday!!). A suggestion has been made of using something called jafwm (I think that's what it was) to reload the system but you need a dongle to complete the process.
I'm interested in your comment about the gps side of things as well, as this is one of the main uses for my pda (destinator) - along with reading books (ereader) and listening to books (audible).
Ideally I am looking to rid my XDA of all 02 specific stuff (except the battery monitor) and have the newest radio version as I have found 1.0 problematic.
Once I get back online again in New Zealand (where I am going on Tuesday 20/6) I will drop a reply to the forum about what truly ended up being the problem.
Anyway, once again thanks for the response and the helpful suggestions

Broken GSM, please help

Hey,
Right, so in my great wisdom I managed to drop my TyTN on its face on the kitchen floor one day and since then it just doesn't do GSM.
On boot, it says "No GSM" below the boot logo, and anything to do with GSM (opening the phone app) causes the device to run slow for a little while then return back to normal without launching the phone app or throwing any error message. Its stuck in permanent "flight mode" as it were.
Sending the phone back to the provider, they turned around and said "On inspection it was found that 3rd party software was loaded on the unit and damaged the unit. Unit is returned without repairs done to it."
I was using one of the ROMS from the forums here which worked fine for a few weeks up till the drop. (I do know which one but I'd prefer not to give anyone a bad name where its not called for, so prefer not to mention it directly).
I will say that it was a fairly new release in june.
Also currently have on boot.
IPL-1.04
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Have since tried re-installing version roms which have made no difference at all.
So:
1: is it possible that the updated OS and flashing the radio etc could have cause the problem described?
2: How do I return the phone to its original radio version and a generic (officially supported) WM5?
3: Is there anything I can do from my side to fix the problem?
Many thanks

Have you tried flashing the original ROM that it came with... Then you can probably take it back to another warranty shop or to HTC for repair... You can also upgrade to Olipro 2.10, you can search for the files, I'm just to lazy to look for it now... If you can't find let me know, and I'll look for it...
Once you upgrade to Oli 2.10, it may make a difference.. Have you tried flashing the radio...? It could very well be a hardware problem that occurred during that sudden stop on the floor...
I'm not to helpful, sorry...

Rob,
Obviously the fall messed up your TyTN, and HTC now refuses to work on it (read save money) because you are running a non-standard firmware. Well, screw that!
Have a look here to start the downgrading process.
Then, go to Leaf's site and download the AKU3 firmware from the Members section.
Flash it to your TyTN.
Then take it back to a different repair centre (not too sure about your options in Grahamstown) and tell them you dropped it, and now it is not working anymore.

Right so trying to get the original (well an club-imate approved) rom installed so that I can try the repair center again...
Based on this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
Image is HERMIMG_CDL_1.31.305.2_SHIP.nbh
(Extracted frin JASJAM_wwe_1.31.305.2_1.31.305.104_1.21.31.10_ship.exe)
I get the following:
<Gray screen with blue txt>
HERMIMG.nbh -
IPL - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
SPLASH2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
GSM -
OS -
Update in Progress...
</End screen>
And thats where it sits.
Even when trying the recommended usb/HardSPL methods, its gets to about 14% and hangs. I presume due to the GSM module being damaged.
I've also tried .nbh's that only have the GSM stuff, and using the microSD method, it gets about 5% along the progress bar and then halts.
EDIT: I've managed to flash it with an original rom excluding the GSM stuff. Will see what happens at the repair center...

Excellent, hope you get it sorted!

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?
Debbie

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
