Hi people,

I recently loaded this rom on my o2 Zinc and it worked great for a day until my phone let out 2 or 3 very loud beeps, showed a weird screen that sort of looked like the insides of a CPU then switched off. the device was plugged into my vista computer via usb when it happened. hadnt touched the device but it might have been syncing somethign with exchange at the time(not sure)

The only things i did after flashing the rom was i set the CPU to standard instead of auto. Synced with exchange. and that was about it.

It wont switch back on now.

Ive tried the soft reset button

soft reset while holding down left on the dpad

soft reset while holding down up on the dpad

pulled out the battery for 12 hours and tried it all again

no love from my phone.

can anyone help me out?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LeoDH:
Have no idea about what happened with you but it's definitely not because of the ROM since it works well with most of us here, as you can see.

Maybe you should try a hard reset (hold Power button, which is at the top of ur device, and have a soft reset) or flash the ROM again.

Since there're several ROMs in this thread, which did you use? If possible, may I suggest you to use the Lite Big Storage (you can find it here ), which is suggested by most of users here, and by cruzzmz himself :)

Good luck :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] supxda:
Hey,

The one I used was the Lite BigStorage Rom from your link above.

I cant reflash because it wont turn on at all. The only thing i can make it do is show the amber light when plugged in. it does nothing at if i press reset, hard reset, bootloader reset. still nothing.

I agree and i dont think the rom is to fault, its the device. but the rom might have kicked it over the edge. So if anyone has stability issues with their device in the past then i dont recommend giving any roms a go (except official)

ahh well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JangJun:
how can i fix this problem?i always got this when try uprom :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LeoDH:
It seems ur Zinc have some hardware problems. Is its guarantee still available? I think you should pay a visit to O2 service office.

P/s: Since you cant turn on the device, have you checked the battery? About capacity and connection between battery and device. Maybe the reason you cant turn on your phone is because its battery capacity is too low or connections between battery and device are at such bad condition that they do not connect well.

Good luck :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LeoDH:
Have you tried doing as what the notification said, to plug AC charger in your device before flashing ROM?

BTW, which kind of flashing ROM did you use, from PC or directly from your SD card? And have you charged your device fully before flashing ROM?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JangJun:
Before,i tried up rom 1 times but my PC shutdown.and i tried fix my zinc with some solution but nothing happened

-i used USB cable

-i used rom bigstorage and from seeo2. I tried up from PC and SD card both.And only one error and rom is WM5 and i didn't charge full :mad:.

.after that error i keep battery out phone about 2 hours and i can log on but after that i charge my battery to about 37% and phone auto turn off...

sry for my bad english. im vietnamese ::p

unable to hard reset or upgrade ROM O2 Zinc

hello all...

currently i have O2 Zinc. In fact this phone has been upgraded to WM6 earlier, but i was frustrated as the speed was pretty slow.

Thats why i wanted to do hard reset. while i press & hold the power button / dpad up followed by soft reset, appeared 2 options :

* CLean Storage

* Cancel

i selected clean storage but i has no impact, meaning it is just like a soft reset. and all the data remains.

then i try to upgrade to WM6.1 (lite-marsii_g4) and i follow the procedure, but still no different. it comes back to soft reset again and again.

Anybody can help me please?

Many thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kakarato:

Do you run any today's plug-in ?:confused:

This rom definitely at least 20% - 40% faster than the official rom. Do a re-flash and run the rom without any 3rd party plug-in and see the different.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruzzmz:
To do a hard reset,

Press hold the DPad UP & do a softreset (poke the hole wz ur stylus)

To do a rom upgrade,

Press hold the DPad LEFT & do a softreset (poke the hole wz ur stylus)

but make sure

1. U have the MARSII_G4.ABI saved in ur miniSD

2. Plug ur wall adaptor to ur Zinc
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LeoDH:
Hi cruzzmz,

It's quite confused since in my device hold the Power button and do SR will make a Hard reset. Is it ok?

And for ROM update, do you mean Dpad Right, instead of Dpad Left ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruzzmz:
uh really confusing if hold power make hard reset?????

yup my mistake DPad Right

I try to kitchen your Rom. For lite it seen like can be kitchen .. but for Xlt can be kitchen ...

When i try run the 1-ZincExtract.bat, Error message below appear :

Error:The ABI marker is not correct.

Please advise ..

Reason i extract the Xlt is want to compare the structure between Xlt and Lite .. I dont have experince in cook rom so i need to compare both to find out which directory is remove..

I plan to remove xt9 input method in OEM folder ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruzzmz:
if there is an ABI marker error, the structure of the ABI have been changed, most of the time the size have been hex.

well u can use the lite one ... just delete the T9 folder in your case & u also have to change some variable in user.hv & default.hv
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kakarato:
So highlighted folders need to be delete ?

and Files belows ?

Do i need to remove lines belows from the .RGU file ??

By the way i'm newbie :D mind highlight me which part of user.hv and default.hv that i need to change to remove T9 ?

I've try open both files in Hex Editor. But i seen like totally no idea which part i should change .. :(

i use the lite bigstorage rom from this forum. i have been using since it has been released. had no problems. recently i tried sending mms. i could send mms from my o2 zinc and receive it. but i cant download mms sent from another phone. when i download it, it gets terminated before it could be completely downloaded. can anyone help me?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruzzmz:
before this u can send & receive MMS? now cannot? ... maybe u have to check wz ur provider on that matter. Just my 2 cents ;)

Hi all,

Great Forum/Post!

First of all, I apologize for being new to this. I just recently got an O2 xda zinc (used) from my sister and I'm a total noob in this smartphone.

I'm trying to understand this phone of mine and so far I got this informations:

I have Microsoft Windows Mobile™ Version 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14992.2.6.1)

Processor PXA270 520MHZ

Memory 51.24MB

Expansion Slot: Not in Use

I also have a 2GB miniSD(?)

From System Information:

Flash size: 128mb

RAM size: 64mb

Screen resolution: 240 x 320

Color: 65536

Version tab:

ROM date: 2007/01/31

ROM Version: WWE_RC4070131

Boot Version: 070131152207

Radio version: v2.16.1.P3.MCP2_2007...

Battery Version: 1.3

Extended ROM v... V1.11.0

Ok, as far as I know .. we have the same phone. Mine also looks the same with the pictures shown in the first page. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

I'm now planning to flash the ROM and I am willing to take the risk. However, I need your help and I have a few questions regarding ROM flashing.

1) I know there are alot of benefits we can get from the original posters modded rom (thanks by the way, you're a blessing),but what version should I choose? With my specs listed above?

2) Just in case, things go bad (hope not), what are the fail safe methods I can use to make it work again? If any? Also, what is the safest way for flashing ROM? via MiniSD or COmputer?

3) Is upgrading Windows mobile from 5 to 6 (modded or not modded) really worth it?

4) *Not Related* I can still see my sisters profile and pictures, contacts (from phone, not miniSD). How do I do a Factory Reset? Like everything gets removed! Also, can I format the miniSD from the PC or should I use the phone to format it?

5) Can I revert back to the Windows Mobile that originally came with the phone (Microsoft Windows Mobile™ Version 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14992.2.6.1)) after flashing the ROM?

Thanks in advanced for your help!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LeoDH:
Welcome to join us, bro

Since I'm definitely not an expert on this field, I'll give you answers depending on my little experience and knowledge about it. Hope this help

Firstly, there're some general information about OS for Zinc you might want to know:

- According to ur info, ur current OS is the official WM5 ROM ("official" means it's from O2, based on Microsoft Window Mobile Operating System, and added with a lot of O2 stuffs, like O2 Plus, O2 Message, ...). There's another official ROM for O2 Zinc, which is WM6.0 ROM.

The major difference between the two ROMs, in my opinion, is the WM6.0 takes more memory, which means there's less memory for you to install softs or store datas, ... In return, the WM6.0 function better, I think :), and there are more and more 3rd-party softwares that no longer support WM5 ROM. This wil be important for you to consider which ROM to use if you want to try&test softwares for PPC.

The two official ROMs are provided by O2 previously, and now is MWG. They're provided in .exe installation files, so you have to flash these ROM via PC.

(you can also find the WM6.0 ROM that I uploaded to MediaFire for easier downloading in my above post)

- Besides the two official ROMs mentioned above, thanks to a guru, bro cruzzmz, here :), we also have some other cook ROMs for ur Zinc. All of the cook ROMs are WM6.1 OS, and they're all in .cab file, which means you have to flash these ROM via mini SD.

About the difference between the WM6.1 OS and the former ones (WM5 and WM6.0), as well as the difference between cruzzmz's cook ROMs, I think you can find by yourself when reviewing these related topics below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402283

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=374205

Secondly, for ur questions:

1. Which version? I think after reviewing the above topics and seeing the difference between those versions, you will have ur own decision, based on what you need.

2. It seems to have not much risk in flashing new ROM, as far as I know :D Just make sure your battery is fully charged and your usb wall charger is plugged and thing will be fine :) About the way to flash a new ROM (via PC or miniSD), as said above, it depends on which ROM you choose, the official ROMs or the cook ones.

3. I think it's worth.

4. You can do a hard reset (Factory reset) by holding Power button and have a soft reset. And by doing this, the default condition will be restored, and all installed softs, datas stored in ur PPC, not ur miniSD, will be removed.

You can format ur miniSD by both, PC and PPC. Make sure to choose FAT32 format, if you have to.

5. Yes, you can revert back to any ROM you want, as long as you have its installation file.

Good luck with your flashing.

Hey LeoDH,

Thanks you VERY much for spending time and answering my question. It really, really, really helped a lot. Now, I know a little about my phone :)

Yes, I downloaded the link that you posted above (official ROM WM6) and I also downloaded the Lite-BigStorage from guru cruzz :D

So I have 2 now and I'll decide later after I get home from work.

Of course, since a lot of people are having good experiences with the mods, I go for that first :) I just hope it fits my requirements.

By the way, I know some stuff about computers and I was just thinking if "ROM flashing" is EQUIVALENT to "motherboard fimrware updating" or something similar? Let's say for analogy purposes only -- or it only updates the Operating System of the O2 Zinc?

Thanks again bro!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LeoDH:
You're welcome, bro :)

About ur question, I'm not sure about the answer but I myself think it's more like OS upgrade, like from Windows 2000 to Windows XP in PC.

However, a ROM for PPCs is more than an OS, I think. Actually it includes an OS and a lot of other stuffs that publishers/cookers added to their ROM. This feature definitely can not be found in PC environment.

your lite rom is WOW and i just love it

its just perfect and so fast.

but when receiving SMS's i cant open them .. i can see that they are threaded or grouped as conversations but i cant read them .. tried click on them or click and hold but there is no open option.

simply i cant open the messages or read it.

if you can support me with this issue then that would mean you just made a rom that i wont think of changing it.

Found out that after getting the arabic support file installed it stoped openeing the SMS's

and when disabling the Arabic support it works normally.

Thanks for these roms. Everything works great except for one thing. It is not possible to access networks shares (filesharing on xp through wifi). This works fine in 6.0 but generates an error 6.1 roms.

I've tried through Total Commander and the network plugin for file explorer thingy, but no success in either. Although the network plugin will let me see the other servers, I cannot access any shares on those servers.

Any ideas anyone?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LeoDH:
Sorry to hear that.

I never experienced this hanging situation when using the Lite Big Storage ROM on my PPC (O2 Zinc).

Since I dont have much knowledge in this field (just an user :D ), sorry for not being more helpful.

Anyway, the hanging can be caused by many reasons, are you sure the ROM is the cause?

Did you get this hanging right after up this ROM or when you have installed other softs? I myself think this might be the softs you installed that might cause this situation since I totally have no problems with the great ROM of cruzzmz :D

the XIP you can use it in your ROM.u must do some work.I can't tell u more anything,because it is so complex.but if u only use the 19199SYS ,i think it is not all WM6.1.the XIP is so importance.
