I understand that Cingular uses 850 band in some areas so it will never work with the xda, or if it does it will be off tune by 50mhz.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] doc:
If Cingular uses 850mHz can't the device be tuned to that freq? It is a digital tuning device isn't it?

Still should be a way to do it. A lot of phones are being sold on the net that claim to be unlocked and compatible with AT&T, Tmobil, etc. Still looking for the magic answer.

Hi there!

BIG PROBLEM:

I installed the XDA-developers Rom just for testing it once. After that, I wanted to make an upgrade flash from O2 (more actual version).

In the middle of the upgrade everything broke! The connection did *somehow* (got no idea, Y or how) break down. The only thing the XDA is doing now is bringing up some weird lines when I turn it on (it even doesn´t bring that bargraph). I tried to repair the bootloader via USB, no luck. The newbootloader prog does not answer at all as soon as I start it (only the question is coming - after pushing yes, nothing happens).

What the heck am I doing wrong??

Question: Do I have to repair the bootloader via Serial? The USB connection is there, the Active Sync tries to connect as soon as I plug the XDA in there, but it naturally doesn´t recognize it.

You must be able to access the ROM somehow, aren´t you? Somehow the ROM has to be flashable (even if everythings down), or not?

HELP! Dont wanna do that repair for 50 bucks!

had no idea how to upgrading this device ..... can anyone please tell me the best or latest ROM version available for XDA II?, Bythe way can anyone also tell me what software did i need for ROM upgrade. :?: .....i'm sorry but i'm a newbie....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] wizzy:
:evil: Attmpted an upgrade to my XDA2 from the o2 website and now have a very usefull doorstop with the added ability to tell if its in a cradle ('USB') or held in my (quivering with anger) hand ('Serial').

The software did actualy warn me by a pop up form before it crashed just after succesfully cleaning the ROM. The form was a brief warning just before it fell over but not clear because it disapeared too quickly.

Anybody else having fun with the latest update(Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe)?????

O2 have pointed me at the UK XDA fixit company so I will be sending it to them for re-flashing.

A person at said company told me that any interuption to the upgrade could have caused the crash - an incoming message or phone call etc.

However since the rom , by that time was non existant, how was an incomming phone call going to cause a problem?

Why was the upgrade software released while obviously still buggy?

XDA Hell

Hey everyone,

Firstly, I'd like to say that this is a last resort, I have read and tried all the solutions listed around this great site uncessfully. :(

I am finding myself in what seems to be a very crowded boat with my o2 XDA. Whilst flashing the rom something crashed (God only knows what caused it) and now I’m stuck with an xda that won’t load.

I have an SD card (256) and reader / writer but cannot get the bootloader to recognize it. (v 6.22). Have tried the patch, have tried re-flashing the bootloader, but cannot get the damn thing to read it. Constantly getting “card key invalid, Press action to exit”. I have also tried the ‘fixbootloader’ thing in XDA-tools, but it loads a dos window, asks if I want to really go ahead with it then just sits there.

Can someone help me with this? Please!

Cheers

The ROMs you build in www.romkitchen.de, is that for the XDA or the XDA2?

Hello, GREAT FORUM! :)

I have installed 4.01.16 ROM from lumpistefen kitchen. It's working normal, but a little buggy for me and i wonna to return to my origial 3.17 O2 ROM (i have nk.nbf).

But i can't do it from XDATools directly. The only way, as i see, is update from bootloader. I haven't SD card reader, so i write my 3.17 ROM with XDATools on 128 Mb SD card, using builtin XDA SD card slot.

Then i restart XDA to bootloader (press power+soft reset), which shows me following on the screen:

Wallaby Bootloader

5.15

GSM OK

That's all! What should i do next? How can i start re-flashing?

Can it be bootloader problem? Can it be solved fixed with pnewbootloader from XDAUtilities package (from XDA-Developers). Or i can make my device not loadable at all? :(

One remark: After rebooting WM2003 promt me to format my SD card to make it readable. Is it correct? Or there are some problems in SD card writting process..

Please, give me some ideas, what should i do! :wink: How can I re-flash my ROM?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] hatamata:
I think that xda developers has done a lot of work in software improvement and upgrading. And they sure did a fine job in that.

Unfortunately, I (and most probably many others around here) are confused when reading the amount of data in this excellent site.

My suggestion is that a sticky thread with a table that describes the upgrades compatibility, for instance, would an xda with 32 rom accepts the same software as another one with 64 rom? Any problems expected when changing some languages? What possible upgrades are there for a wallaby x.xx or a hemalia y.yy? …

What I mean is that newbies like me need to look at this table and find our present configuration and also find the possible upgrades that we can use.

Many people here lost their radio stacks because of non compatible flashing (I lost one of my xdas because of that, so I have the rest of them with original software – ce 2002, and I’m too afraid to upgrade any more) , can you people help stopping more people loosing their RS?

As for our famous GSM error, isn’t there any way out except sending the xda to a repair center or to send it to the guy mentioned here before? I think I tried every thing in this forum with no luck, xdafix – sd flashing …. Nothing worked, I could of course be trying to use wrong software, but I cant tell.

I have a wallaby 5.15

PW10A1

RS version unknown

Ram 64

No connection via USB is possible

I also believe that no risk no fun :D

To quote:

"You need a storage card (32 MB or more SD or MMC will do) and a reader/writer for it,

than write a rom on the card, put it in your devices an start the boot loader, than if everthing went good it will ask you if you wanted to update the rom."

Bootloader doesn't start. Actsync doesn't recognize my XDA II. XDA II is a piece of metal. now what?

Hi!

2. os upgrade

You may actually have a bricked device if you cannot get it to the bootloader. Try the buttons combinations for getting to the bootloader and see if you can get it there.

A good idea would be to remove the battery for about 10 minutes and reinsert it and try to get it to the bootloader mode. Once there, you can install your ROM via the card.

Hello Dear

The only option I found and worked with me is using SD card.

What you require is SD card + Card reader and new downloaded BIOS.

Follow these steps and get your PDA working

How to Flash your Device using bootloader and SD-Card....

1.	Download XDATools (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip)

2.	Extract them at any place and run osimagetool

3.	Select your Rom Image from the Source drop down menu.

4.	Select your SD card (disk drive) from Destination the drop down menu.

5.	Select Copy to start writing process and the tool should start writing to the card.

6.	When XDATools has finished writing the image (no Infomessage) put the SD-card into your device

7.	If there comes a message to format the SD-card select No

8.	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

9.	Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.

10.	Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a " Hard Reset"

Best of Luck:)

Hello All,

I recently tried upgrading a friend's walaby (initial ROM=3.18.04) to 4.02.04. Everything went well. After the upgrade, I followed the instructions by reseting and waiting for 60 secs... but when I switched it back on, it hung on the boot screen. Now this is not the first device I've flashed with this ROM and they've all worked well. I got another working device (with a ROM of 3.04) and copied Bootloader and WinCE to SD card. I put it in my device and reset with powerbutton. I followed the instructions and it copies everything from the SD card. When I tried to reboot, I got stuck at the exact same place except now the boot screen is different and now shows 3.04. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot
