ROM 1.66.00 wwe needed

[dave362]

Like many others on this site, it seems that I have used an update from O2's official site that has fried my XDA2. From what I have read I am in USB bootlod screen but cannot reflash unless I use ROM 1.66.00 wwe which was what I originally had, Can anybody help.

v1.60.50 is the latest ROM update available from O2. If yours is one of those that came with v1.66.00 from O2 your best bet is going to be O2 themselves, just explain that you 'thought' you were updating to the latest ROM and didn't realise that the one posted on their site is older.

They 'should' be sympathetic given these circumstances.

Tried O2 but they just said to take it to the store for repair. Surely there must be another way. I cannot believe the update does not check for incorrect versions on the receiving device before wiping the rom. Thanks for the reply

Yup, piss poor I agree, all the updates I've ever applied to iPAQ's check versions and warn you if you're restoring an older ROM image.

Unless you can aquire an SD Card backup of the 1.66 ROM then you're going to have to take it to the O2 shop :cry:

I have a backup on my SD card but do not have a reader, any help?

[griffog]

Can't you use your cradle to transfer the backup to your PC?

[dave362]

Activesync will not wake up. Without a reader how will I get at me sdcard?

:oops: Sorry, opened mouth before engaging brain there! A card reader is relatively cheap though.
