HELP ! TOTALLY LOST !

[sandyind]

Hey guys. The Special Edition ROM is a good idea, but I've just lost all connectivity with my XDA:

After installing the new ROM Image, I'm unable to use Active Sync (therefore unable to flash the old ROM provided by Othaman OR to get my data restored from the laptop), PIE or any other service. The device will just not connect to anything else.

Any help with restoring the previous ROM would be greatly appreciated - if only I could get my XDA to connect with ActiveSync....

Please help - my :( XDA is as good (or as bad) as a phone now... :( :(

You can install a new ROM via the SD-Card and the bootloader....

Okay here's the difficult part:

1. I have a couple of SD Cards with me, but no reader.
2. Am currently in Africa for a couple of months, so no way of getting hold
of a reader for that period at least.
3. I do have my old Sagem WA3050 (Win CE 2.11) with a compact flash card (128 mb).
4. This sounds tortuous, but would it be possible to (1) copy the old ROM Images to the storage card (Compact Flash) of my Sagem PPC; (2) Beam the files over to my Qtek P1010 and write it on to the SD Card; (3) Use this image now to restore the ROM

I'm desperate ! Need some way out !

PROBLEM SOLVED & ISSUE CLOSED
Turns out that Active Sync wont work with either Serial Cable or IR with the new Special Edition ROM. Hence had my USB Cradle flown down today and was able to sync. Flashed the new O2 RAM with a little help from AdaptROM.
Thank you, xda-developers for the suggestion (try using USB).
For those in a similar fix, try USB.

The new ROM, out today, fixes the original problem, and any other outstanding issues we're aware of...
