Black screen too

Emil1,

got the same problem you reported: Black screen.

Tried already wm6.1 and wm6.5, no response.

Got the solution yet?

If anybody can help us.....:(

By the way, the oscar version on my PDA is Oscar250/260AB_UT_R13, does that makes any difference?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJAnt1320:
Just out of curiosity, did you guys follow JVCHawk's or moonscapeX's indtructional on flashing?

Read back, a few pages and check that out... I'd think that you didn't do the 'lowlevel format,' before installing the new ROM.

While this may counter-intuitive, sinc the new rom SAYS it's flashing the other one out of existance, occasionally, like the remains of a bad taco dinner, some cling-ons may remain.

When I was going BACK from Fr6.5 to En6.1, I had that problem the first time I did it (first COUPLE of times, actaully).

Try that and/ or track down the tutorial.

The latter should shine a bit of light on things :D

Emil1 Solution....

Emil1,

After a day working on it, I finally solved my problem by downloading de Retail Full Rom (English), on the link at the second post on this forum (I can't post links, forum policies....) and flashed in my device.:o

It didn't work for itself (still black screen), but seems that it changed my UBOOT image, which made the WM6.1 and WM6.5 images work fine.

So here is what to do (worked for me...):

1) Flash the WM5 image of the Retail Full Rom (English) - link on the second post of this topic;

2) Without LowFormatting, flash the WM6.1 or WM6.5 (your choice), that should work fine.

PS: It takes a while to pass the black screen at the first time, but nothing like we are used to wait...

Anyway, seems that the problem was in the UBOOT that we were using...

Hope I've helped....

Thanks DJAnt1320, for your help, but that was not the problem, at least in my case.:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJAnt1320:
Uhm... Okaaaay. I have no idea why the suggestion to flash the WM5 image before attempting to install the 6.1 or 6.5.

That's kind of counter-intuitive, but if it worked, awesome.

All of the links that I posted, a page, or so, ago, work. I know, considering they're the EXACT SAME files that I extracted to install , on mine.

As far as the lowlevel, That's a pretty tried and true method of flashing, certainly not a REQUIRED step, but since I've flashed mine about 5 or 6 times, all successsfully (after doing a lowlevel), I'm more inclined to make the suggestion.

As I said, if that method of flashing 5 first worked, that's great! At least it got the job done.

All I'm trying to say is that obviously we've found that almost no answer is 100% fool-proof. There's always one or two exceptions to the rule.

Congrats!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Josue_brasil:
Djant1320,

As you could see, I'm a novice in PDA matters.

However, my guess is that the problem was in the UBOOT we were using.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the UBOOT is the boot program of the PDA, which cam be updated as the WM (There's a specific option, by the way).

My PDA, and I don't know about Emil1's, is not american, was bought in Brasil, and may have differences in the resident software, including the UBOOT (My original WM5, for example, was in portuguese-br). That may have caused the black screen problem.

When you flash the WM5, of the link posted in this forum, not only the WM is flashed, but the UBOOT is updated too - there's a message "UBOOT Update OK" - or something like that... (When flashing WM6.1 and WM6.5, it don't seems to update UBOOT).

With the UBOOT of the WM5 US version, both WM6.1 and WM6.5 works perfectly.

Anyway, I don't know if there's any science in my conclusion, but it really worked for me, when I was thinking that I lost my PDA....

Now I'm just waiting for the english version of WM6.5...

Thank you anyway for your help, I hope it works to Emil1's too...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJAnt1320:
Ahhhh.... See: That makes a little more sense of why you'd have to do that.

I keep forgetting that there were 'international' versions released (about 35, if I remember whereever I read that).

Basically, the WM5 version of the UBOOT protocol puts a certain 'formatting,' if you will, on the bata blocks (gridwork), much akin to how you have to format a hard-drive, certain ways, for various OSs.

The ROMS for En6.1 and Fr6.5 are build upon the pre-existing loaders and UBOOT formatting, from WM5... Ergo, it's an assumption that you'd have them and merely 'upgrading' to En6.1 / Fr6.5.

LOL, Sorry for the miscommunication; I wan't getting what you were saying, but no worries: We're on the same page, now.

Glad you got it working and posted your fix!

Like you and others, I'm patiently waiting for the fully english version of 6.5 to be cooked up.... Hopefuly CrashOverhead has some success, soon.

Cheers!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJAnt1320:
Grrr.... Anyone had any luck with importing/ opening a 'NOTE' file on their computer?

Apparently 'OneNote' for Win7.64' isn't up for the task. I can import the file into 'Word' but can't export it BACK to the damned Mio.... FTW?!?!

*** Disregard. Here's how you can do it, if there's a problem, like mine: Make sure ActiveSync is set to sync 'Notes' ('Mobile Device Settings > Change content sync settings > check the 'Notes' box')... Then, open Outlook and look on the bottom of the navigation pane (the folder list, on the left), and click the little note-pad. This will pull up the list of the notes you have sync'ed.

Alter/ paste in the information that you want in the note, on your Mio.... If you're still connected, through-out all of this, it will automatically sync the note back onto the Mio.

Newbie POST

Hello my gracious hosts, if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have a simple request (if its possible). My MIO P550 works fine, but I'd like to flash to if I can enable using a 16 GB memory card.

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJAnt1320:
As you can see, from above, there've been a few off and on write-ups about the max size of the card.

My recommendation is to flash it via USB, if you don't have a 1 Gigger layin' around (of course, they're like 10 bux just about everywhere).

I know that a 2GB works, since that's what I've got in mine and flashed with a few times (like 6?), so that would be an option, as well.

Go back through the posts - certainly within the last 10 pages, or so - and check out ' jvchawk's ' posts. He's written up a pretty good instructional on how to flash.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
As far as I see in your sig is the ROM for the MIO P350/550, but I need the ROM for MIO P360/560.

Sorry Nixeus, but this is not working. I have downloaded, extracted and renamed the file. Put on SD card, booted to Image by SD/MMC. It writes MountDisk SUCCESS!!!

then

Open WholeImage ...

and remains so forewer.

I press reset, then everything get back to previous.

Second try, now using the normal way with ActiveSynch, this asks me for an activation key.

Third try, using the USB update tool DNW5.0e. This way start the download, but after 53% device reboots. Fortunately everything gets back to normal operation.

Any idea how to proceed forward?

The rom in archive is the only that don't hang upgrade procedure on 99% between the 6+ i've tried.

MITAC P350 flashed with P550 fimware fully working!

Many thanks also to pdaclub.pl!

So:

1) Download this file : [ http://rapidshare.com/files/41274307/dnw.rar.html ]

2) Decompress the file to a folder and open dnw.exe

3) Check Configuration->Options. Set USB Port Download address at 0x3000000

4) Connect the pda to the pc usb port

Cool On dnw.exe go to USB Port->Transmit->Transmit and select MioP550 - Osc260A R05_P09.nb0

5) Wait for finish flashing procedure (it take about 2 minutes).

6) Disconnect the pda and make hard reset

7) You done!!!

I tried many rom but this is the only that don't make flashing procedure hang at 99%.

The rom contain only English software.

Now I'm very happy and looking for italian one!

evaluating the rom

So far, I have been comparing this rom by ansar to the french rom by crashoverhead. The ansar rom gui has the start or windows button on the bottom left as opposed to crashoverhead's rom which is on the top left, I think the ansar rom has a plugin coded into the rom. I have been trying to dissassemble both roms to find the differences/similarities, but have run into some road blocks. I have also send messages to both crashoverhead and ansar to see if they could provide any info.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJAnt1320:
Yeah, I've noticed some differences, as well. The FIRST thing one would notice is that the Ansar ROM is a bit slower.... Noticably so.

As well, there're a couple of odd alterations to the 'Start Menu' schema (The 'SeTtings' that has No items in it, 'ConXions,' with 'Modem Link,' 'Apps' (holding the 'Screen Capture' option (WTF?!!?), and a completely set of irrelevant listings in the 'Office Mobile' folder.)

Inversely, 'Opera Mobile 10,' 'AIM Mobile,' 'PocketXpdf,' and, 'AgileNotes 3.0,' all load quite easily and cover the grounds, so THAT works out, well...

I'd still like the ability to open and share 'Office' files with clients.

It's pretty on par with the 'CrashOverhead' version, but I think I'd use the other... If I spoke native-level French.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ritchie.tomasouw:
Yess i agree. The Anser rom is noticably slower and indeed some items are missing in the settings menu..

I used SPB Mobile shell but then my mio p350 get's a memory error icm with Igo8. I deinstalled SPB Mobile shell and my Igo 8 is running very smootly... also GPS is very good..

I use the mio p350 mostly as navigation so thats the importants thing for me
