Can't enter bootloader on xda II help needed

[whafni77]

Hi to all, my problem is that I can't enter the bootloader. in other words I can enter it(power+navigation buttom and reset) but i only see the word Serial and v1.01, and when usb is connected I see USB v1.01 , i can't see d2s or any other information and options. I wanted to flash my rom to SD using Multi-Port/USB TTY . I did a search on this forum but no luck so if anybody can give me a hand I'll appriciate it. Ciaoz Mine is XDAII the german verwsion.

Please anybody can give me a step by step info on how to copy the original rom to SD card, I need to change language from german to english and I want to keep the original german rom just in case. Thx

Does it have to be on sd there are other way of doing it which I will be able to talk you through (I think) if you need a hand

[whafni77]

Well I was thinking to flash it to the sd in case the phone goes dead and you're out of activesync so the only way of flahsing it will be through SD. But another way of flashing is more than appriciated so I'll be waiting for ur guide.. do u happen to know why I can't see the options in the bootloader? thanks really

[Jim Ill]

1st ... I have no idea why you cant get into the bootloader. On my xda 2 after a cold reboot i just get the serial and then when in the cradle I get usb, from their I dont know what to do. I would class myself as a newbie as well but I can talk you through what I did.

Which rom is it that you want to flash?

The extended rom or the Os rom?

[whafni77]

i'm willing to flash the OS rom and not the extended. My version is 1.03.00 Ger and I want to flash to the "Dangaard (Qtek) 1.60" or RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL version which is an english one although I heard some people had their phones dead while doing so. I must find a way to back my rom 1st.. Did u do the update urself??

[Jim Ill]

Yes I did the update using a programme called

HimaUpgradeUt.exe

I was originally after flashing the extended rom only, but due to not fully understanding the instructions at

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470&highlight=


I made a mistake and flash the Radio Stack - the OS and the extended rom as well. After this I worked out how to use HimUpgradeUt.exe to flash the extended rom only. I am guessing that if you follow the same procdure for flashing the rom and flash the OS you will get the same results.

However I haven't tried it yet. I am hoping to get the radio rom and the OS rom for O2 xda2 and try it but until them I cant confirm it. I am only guessing that it will work?

So its up to you I have successfully updated the extended rom 4 time but I just dont have the files to do it?

Where did you get you Os file from?

[whafni77]

I already tried Multi-Port/USB TTY program , but in the instructions it says"
3. boot the machine into bootloader mode (hold the Power and directional pad , then push reset)
4. Run the rompdate utility, select the comport as "wceusb001" or something like that as the default comport." The problem is that After going into bootloader mode I launched the romupdate utility but in the com-ports I only see com1 and com2 ,there is no wceusb001!!. And where did u see the d2s that I hear about??
I've got the downloads from the forum this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6214&sid=0dad85b97d280219dc51962a01a4997b and the other form here http://shop.store.yahoo.com/cellpoint/tmobilemdaii.html

[Jim Ill]

It seems that we are taking cross purposes here.

Using HimaUpgradeUt.exe you can update the roms using .NBF files,
hence the way in which I updated all 3 of my roms in one go.
Radio.nbf
Ms.nbf
Exteneded Rom.nbf (can’t remember the actual name) it looks like you are using a different up loader or have different files to upload. I can only really help with advice on the process that I followed. I can provide you with the files that I had, if you want it will change your 02 format to I-Mate in English.


Does this help?

[whafni77]

well I know we have differnet purposes but we should use the same tool I guess if we followed this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470&highlight= and the tool is Multi-Port/USB TTY program to back up rom or extended rom. Please provide me the info to back up the rom no matter if to SD or HD. Thanks for ur time man.

[Jim Ill]

I think that you can try using ositools I will find the link and then post it, but again I am still not sure how you reinstal it afterwards

I am in the same situation with you, have you solved yet?

[CJC]

I had the same problem, and I found the cause to be a USB Hub. I found that when I plugged the cradle directly into my PC I managed to load the update without any further problems.

I hope this helps

you have to disable usb or com port in activesync, before trying to connect with mtty, or terminal program.
