try this :
- push together (power+navikey+reset)
-put your device in to cradle
-start upgrade again (from original 02 rom)
- wait 2-3 minutes.

hope this helps !!

@soulexpress: Don't forget to kill activesync before yoy retry the update.
Does the 'serial' change into 'usb' when the device is in the cradle?

Hi

Just had to hard reset my XDA II as it died and wouldnt respond. I have the message above.

If I put it in the cradle, it says ' USB v1.01' if I take it out it says 'serial' other than that I cannot get it to do anything!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


thanks

mmm, seems youre in bootloader mode.
Only way out I know of is to reflash the device.
Dont forget to kill activesync before you do that btw

The upgrade package takes care of communicating with the device.
Activesync is not used and would only interfere.
To kill it: ctrl-alt-del, then end "wincemanager.exe" (not exactly sure of the name) process.

The rom you should use is preferable one of your current supplier: 02, T-Mobile, Qtek or CDL (iMate).

I would advise a non-beta 1.72 rom

These are officially available for iMate and QTek devices (search on RUU172*).

I created a good (to me!) 1.72 rom for T_Mobile devices, search on RUU172901*

I am running 1.60.00WWE on my XDAII is there any real advantage of upgrading to 1.72 ? What are the advantages?? If so which should I use? I Swapped over to the TMobile one a while and I believe it is difficult to change back to the O2 version, have you any comments?

Thanks Adam
