[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dewild1:
maij

I do computers and networks for a living.. I am more of a hardware type of guy. My Knowledge and experience with software goes as far as how the hardware interacts with it.

You guys are the masters.

If maij has Windows XP,

Plug your XDAII in, if a little window pops up down by the clock, note what it says and tell us.

Right click on My Computer, select Manage.

Go to Device Manager, on the right hand side look for anything with a red "X" or a yellow "!", if there are any, note what they are and tell us, then right click on them and Uninstall them.

Go down to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, Expand it by clicking on the "+" to the left of it, look for one that says, "Unknown Device".. If it is there, note it and report it here, now right click on it and Uninstall it.

Right click on the item that is on the very top, (still working within the area on the right), select Scan For Hardware Changes.

Now if his device states, "usb device not recognized" when he first plugs it in, and after he removes it and it does not have any red x or yellow ! in the device manager for any USB devices, and if he has "unknown device" under USB and if it comes back as unknown device after he removes it and does a scan for new hardware... he is in the same boat as me...

This plus his words.

"I just bought an 02 XDA 2 on Ebay last week from someone in Asia. I was trying to get the ROM upgraded to English from Chinese and now my XDA 2 is fried. (that is why my wife is going to kill me ). As an after thought, I think I fried my XDA by trying to load a file for the Austrailian ROM whereas I have a Chinese version. Anyways, the screen is blank except for 'USB' at the top of the screen and "v1.06" at the bottom of the screen. "

So his was working, then fried it, he tried it at an office computer, "At the office, I put my XDA on the cradle and executed the XDA_II_LaunchROM_v10311.exe but the ActiveSync shuts down and the program runs buts get hung up (I think). I see the small box with a message: checking info on your pocket PC. Please wait ...... " At the office, he most likely will get "error 101, connection error.

I ran himaclearjumpcode.exe from my device. For him, during the upgrade process, and with using the wrong ROM, his device was left in a state of waiting for the new ROM... Mine says "Serial" at the top and "v1.02" on the bottom as well.

Now that you all got his 3.8 Active Sync working again, when he runs the upgrade, he will still get the same error.

That is what I am betting upon.. I have not invested too much time into learning how to fix mine now that my sync port is not broken because I bought a new one. It was in Chinese but thanks to everybody here, it is now in English and works fine, (except for BT hands free). Before I bought a good ol XDAII to replace my broken one, I bought an MPX300 for $900. It sucks, I am selling it. Small screen, slow, bug filled. It is a beta phone but it would still suck if it was not a beta phone.. At least I was able to upload the ROMs to try to get the BT voice dialing to work but mamaich said the DLLs are XIP so we are SOL.

Well now, it just spit my history at you all.. Well, my reason was to explain how I have 2 XDAII and to prove I have learned a lot from here and to say I have tried to help in any way I can.

I do not know how to get his or mine fixed, I hope you all do.

On a separate note, I would pay money if some one would get hands free to work on the XDAII but my guess is it is a hardware driver issue.. I do not know. If we have the BT3900 from the XDAIIi do we also have the registry? I, again, do not know but I would pay to know. I am not rich, just desperate.
