Guys, I have just flashed my XDA to ROM 4.00.05 and now the thing wont boot, it just sits and the boot screen.

I cannot connected it back to my PC to downgrade the ROM back to 3.17.

Can anybody please advise me how I can restore the ROM or do I have to tell my boss I have f**ked another XDA up!?!?!

Thanks in advance people.

Is this an illegitimate upgrade? Did the provider in your country give the green light to go ahead with the upgrade version?. If so, were the instructions followed accordingly?

I don't know, but I've heard and read about lotsa individuals performing uncertified upgrades. All I can say is it really serves them right when things go wrong.

I hope you get yours sorted out soon.

I suggest you redo the upgrade but use the SD card bootloader method this time.

Killinghall, your words seem a bit harsh. Why would it serve someone right when all they've done is download publicly available software off of a publicly accessible media onto hardware they own without financial gain in mind or in general, without harming anybody? We all know the risks when flashing the ROM, but it seems a bit disturbing to have someone actually glad when things go wrong.

Perhaps I misunderstood your post.

killinghall, yes this is a legitamte upgrade, we have over 500 XDA direct from O2 that we were told we can upgrade to 4.00.05 or 4.00.11.

I thought I would use 4.00.05 as my boss has problems with his 4.00.11 locking up and doing crazy things.

I copied the CE+BOOT from another working XDA on 4.00.05 to a SD card using the wallaby bootloader and then inserted the card into my unit and entered bootloader, it found new CE+BOOT and asked would I like to install it. Said yes.

Also have the ROM in a .exe file which is PROGRAMME A (Like the 3.17 upgrade) and that still installs but wont boot.

If I copy the 3.17 CE+BOOT from another XDA and put that on mine it boots fine.

I just cant figure this one out.

Cheers guys,

Mike

Just a thought!

I ran the XDA Developers SIM unlocking program on this unit, but not on any that work?

I am trying now to see if I can SIM Lock my XDA again.

Will keep you updated.
