Crashed!!!!
What is being displayed on the screen?
Are you able to use your XDA at all?
Will it still connect to your PC via ActiveSync?

the answer to all those questions is no....

no activesync

no using the xda

the only thing that is being displayed is the startup o2 sign and in the left hand bottom corner it says
g
r
s 31.85834 (or some number)

and then it goes to a blank white page.....

it keeps swapping back and forth from these two pages

thanks

Are you able to get into the bootloader?

press and hold to on/off button while soft-resetting.

Do you have a SD card reader?


Also, where did you get the xda from, just incase!?!

Right, well it's a start, unfortunatly without an SD card reader there is nothing that I know that will fix this problem, as you cannot use Activesync without the os loading.

I've had a quick look around the forums but all related articles on fixes suggest the need for a card reader.

When you did the upgrade, did you remember to remove the power supply first?.

It seems that leaving the power supply attached while upgrading the radio causes an internal configuration error.

If no one else here can help with your problem, you will have to send it back to O2, they will replace it for new, however, if they do kick up a fuss, remind them of the Sale of Goods Act (Amendment) 2003.

Sorry, that's about as much as I can do mate. Good luck, and don't be but off the xda by this problem, I got mine of ebay and broke the screen within a week, had to fork out another £130 for a new screen, but I'm very glad I did.

Great now press the Calender button, that should put you in the GSM
bootloader mode. From there run some of the options ect.., try changing your band to 900 and see if that helps also try turning the radio off as that might let your XDA bootup.
