Mr. Jiggs... Kabayan. Is there any service center of O2 Atom in the Philippines, my atom life is dead due to SD card upgrade. I am here in KSA where the services is not available. Thanks.

Hey Buddy

:)

I know its foolish on my part but can I use this method on my o2 Neo --prophet:o

It does not boot at all.Al that I get when I put it to wall charger is a ORANGE LED which even remains when I remove the Batt..

Soe time again it diapperars.In either cases the area near the USB tends to get very very HOT.

Sometimes I feel it will just bust because of this heat!!:eek:

Quick answer: My phone still works, but bootloader ignores everything you do and I'm stuck with the same ROM no matter how I try to update it.

Long answer: I found a rom on this site that upgraded my phone to 6.5 but I have since found new roms of 6.5 that look better than mine and have more features and I would like to upgrade. on trying to reflash with a new rom I found out that my bootloader is not doing its job. if I hard boot into bootloader with a rom on the SD card it sits for about 5 min in bootloader and then loads back up in the origional rom. if I use the PC to connect to the phone using the HP bootloader tools it just tells me that my phone is not the correct modle of phone and quits. if I use the patched HP update program it also tells me that my phone isn't compatable. I would like to know how to get this working again, and thought that maybe this cable and program might be able to force a new bootloader onto it so it might load a new rom...

TD0 track lost on HP RW6828

I've successfully done JTAG on my HP rw6828 many times thanks you guys for you help, but now i got a situation. I was trying to JTAG my 6828 but it has internal points near camera button and i solder a wire on them to do JTAG. But now the problem when i tried to solder the wire on the TD0 the track got broken and i m unable to recover, can some one guide me where i can i trace the TD0 on the PCB.

thanks in advance

I've some questions:

1: Hp ipaq rw6815 can be flashed with the points near the SIM Slot!?

2: After typing 'Platform': pxa27x32 Jflash asks for binary file, what must I write here?

3: Can I rename diskimage.nb0 (Working Image for HP) to ebo_a.nb0?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] MagooChris:
Can anyone help me work out how to create the connector for the internal points near the camera? I got my hands on the old IDE cable for the 5.25” floppy drives, removed the cable, cut off the ends of the connector so that it would go over the board, but I don’t think the pins are long enough to touch the points. I don’t want to have to solder it on, as I don’t really know how and would be too worried that I’d screw something up. If anyone can write a more detailed description on how to make this cable, or extra pictures about this connector piece that would be great.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] MagooChris:
if the floppy cable one won't work, I don't see how that will... I'm tempted to try and split the connector down the middle like what is used for the contacts near the battery to see if that gets me a better connection... otherwise my 2nd last option will be to try and use Alegator Clips to touch each of the points, but need to make sure they don't touch each other.... last resort will be to get a friend to solder them on... and then he'll need to solder them off again, I just worry about doing that :S I so desperately want to fix this phone as the operating system keeps hanging :(

hi,all atom user that have broblems by dead bootloader

My atom daed bootloader after i do flash via mini SD.I tried anyway but cant.finally i success with Manual to restore dead BootLoader by use JTAG methode.For this methode i have some own experiens with

I note that

1,must be sure with EBo_a.nb0 file ( if your device is atom it must be eboot.nb0 file for atom or atom pure,dont try with another eboot.nb0 as atome life or HP device)

2,Your PC should be run is window XP FAT32(becuase i tried run start.bat with NTFS but it cant)

3,Make sure with hardware for do with this JTAT methode( i have some picture that found ,maybe can help)

Please Help

I have a very similar problem on my O2 Xda Denim, which actually came with a windows mobile pro 6.

It shows all these symptoms

when connected via USB orange light flashes,

remove battery it still flashes

and when i switch on the device green light flashes and it shows a screen O2 welcome thats it.

very similar to the problem listed above

Can I use the same method...? (I'm a Begginer. Never did anything like this before)

If yes, Is there a simpler method?(or something like more automated? though I would go for this method if there aren't any)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] shone79:
Chaitanya, your O2 seem to have live bootloader, so u dont need to do this steps, probably only your OS is dead. Try to use minisd flash method to flash OS only ,read on forums how to do that. This steps are nessesary only for totaly dead devices, ie. when you press power button nothing happen after bad bootloader flash etc.

bye

Thank You in Advance :D
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] shone79:
re:

Sorry, Denim is rare phone, so its very hard to find software for him. Have u tried official O2 site, maybe there is still support for him. Try to hard reset before any rom flash, but i dont know how. Try to press power, green and red button and soft reset button, this method work on other O2 and HP phones. Flash procedure is probably same like any other similar phone, prepare rom on sd card( if you find any), enter bootloader (try to press camera + soft reset button, or two softkeys and softreset when phone is on O2 screen), wait 10-20 min, and phone will reset itself. That's it, and remember first try to flash software only. Look forums for flashing O2 Atom, probably is same procedure.

Bye, and good luck

Use this manual and files, if you have device with PXA27x processor and 32 bit data bus.

pxa27x32 , if your data bus 16 bit, use parameter pxa27x16 in bat file.

You need use the bootloader file from ATOM LIFE

If you have other device, it must be in the folder jflash_mm Deleted file ebo_a.nb0,

copyng the filee boot.nb0 from you device firmware in the jflash_mm folder and renaming this file in ebo_a.nb0.

If message screen on "file *.DAT not find", press Soft Reset

I have followed the manual. I also copy the eboot.nb0 on Atom Life firmware, delete the existing ebo_a.nb0 on Jflash_MM folder and paste the Atom Life file and renamed it to ebo_a.nb0. I'm using windows 2000 so I think the pxa27x32 is ok. My parallel port has been set to EPP+ECP as intel recommendation. During the process it is looking for a .dat file flash_f000_2_32.dat which is not on the list, so it just stop there.

First of all, I have Atom Pure with GSM signal problem. It won't find any signal, not even for making emergency call. So, I tried fo fixing it by reflashing it with another Atom rom I can find. Since I can't achieve any progress with regular flashing ( using RUU ), I tried to flahsed it with mini SD card method. Here when disaster began, I tried to rename the update rom file and put it in mini SD. And that's when my bootloader died.

And now I can revive my Atom again, thanks to alex_beda and 1stMASTER

The proccess are straight through, the only drawback I had was making the connector for JTAG inside Atom.

I find the flashing program ttle bit different with alex_beda & 1stMASTER discribe in here.

I find my self getting :

"43% block are set to zero"

"Do you want to save time by not programming bla bla ? (y/n)"

Sorry for " bla bla ", I don't remember the exact phrase.

And I don't get 6% error when running update program ( using RUU in bootloader mode )

Now, my Atom works just like exactly before, with no GSM signal :(

Btw, I just share my experience with every one here, and give my Big thank to alex_beda and 1stMASTER to make this method available. THANK YOU !!!

@ alex_beda

Since you and your friend have expert knowledge regarding Atom, would you please help me to figure out why my Atom won't find any GSM signal ?

FYI, when I run the update program, in burn radio stack image, I notice in Atom screen shows:

" MOT Sync Fail "

" MOT Sync OK "

Do you think I have Locked version ?
