The Dangerous Lines

[waleed]

Hi,

I have been looking at these post around and I have noticed some unlocky guys with "bad" experiences upgrading their ROM(s) ...

I have thought of I way of documenting their mistakes as "Dangerous Lines" so others will not make the same mistake ..

I will start with my own "bad" experience when trying to upgrade my Radio Stack using Othman's previouse posts ..

I had the problem when the system was expecting the PIN number but it has hang , I reseted it and I lost my QTEK sice that .

I took it to the supplier and they claim changing the main board.

"SO WE SHOULD NOT HAVE PIN ASSIGNED BEFORE UPGRADING OUR RADIO STACK"

There other mistake madeby one of the guys is that they have choosen to load the boot using the XDArit with the wrong file and they have lost their bootloader ..

"SO WE SHOULD NOT CHOOSE TO LOAD THE BOOLLOADER WHILE BURNING THE SD CARD WITH A ROM using the XDArit tool"

That is it form me ... let have more Dangerous lines ..

IMHO: "so we should not choose to load the bootloader while burning the sd card with a rom using the XDArit tool, TILL YOU DON'T HAVE RIGHT BOOTLOADER IMAGE..." :) It's a real way to change version of bootloader...

HI

What about some tips for simple non computer literate guys like me upgrading my 3.16.32 Eng rom? Running exe file from Jeff is all I thot of doing and are there any steps to note to avoid danger?

Any advice on what to do and what not to do ?

Cheers

Vic

I disagree, I've flashed many different devices with different versions of OS and Radio without problems - most problems are caused by people trying to charge their XDA while updating (there's a bug in the flash programme btw, it says "unplug me", then it screams it is not 70% charged - if you keep it in charger and pres OK you're doomed), or by trying to flash version for different region (900/1800 on 900/1900 device for instance). Or disobbeying another rules (NO USB HUB, disabling USB deviced which may interfere).
I think it's mostly peoples fault... but accidents sometimes DO happen by themselves

Oh, go easy on the kids Zviratko :D look at me I was a lowly dumb pretty boy :mrgreen: Actor before this site and now I'm flashing like the pro's 8) ok I did have some Cell phone tech background but know nothing about writing code. Most of your heavy hitters here are programmers 8)
But you are right about user errors more than device errors :( so that's how we learn sometimes :D :lol:
