big problems with my XDA IIs from HongKong

[JLynch]

Hi all.

I just bought my XDA IIs some days ago in HongKong.

I´ve tried to update it with the new rom from the "sourceO2" page ... the update started and then an error occured... ???

Now I can only see " USB " (when the device is placed in the sync station) or " Serial " (when it´s not) at the upper part of the screen ...

... and " V 2.07 " at the lower part.

What can I do to use my XDA again ???

Please HELP ME!

Thanks in advance!

Joern :shock:

by the way ... Of course I don´t have a backup :-(

If you plug it into your cradle, while activesync won't connect, your phone is still connected with your PC. So you can still update the rom through the rom installer.

So I suggest you find another rom and upgrade it, or try the same one again (in hopes something just went wrong during flashing).

[JLynch]

First of all thank you for your prompt reply!

I´ve downloaded several ROM´s already ... But I always get the "wrong country ID" message!

Any other tips?

I got the exactly the same problem with you. Hope someone can help us! :cry:

Or maybe anyone knows where to get the original ROM for my HongKong XDAIIs ?? There were some links in old posts.. But they don´t work anymore :-(

[TheLastOne]

Unless anyone can find the Country ID of your XDAIIs (which you can no longer check because your device is inoperable), I'm at a loss.

POssibilities I've found are:
O2ASI001
O2___001

So all I can suggest is you try the suggestions here with the above (or if you find it, the correct) country IDs and the O2 Roms you have been trying:

Sorry I couldn't be any actual help ;).

I have tried to download the file xda2sHKcht.zip on this site in order to try but after I downloaded it, it said that the zip file is corrupted. :(

[JLynch]

where´d you get it? :?:

[kenjava]

on the site "ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/xda2sHKcht.zip"

user name : xda
password : xda

you can try it and post a response to me to see if it works for you :)

[vastloper]

First download the the file from this link below.

http://www.qtek.nu/files/BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.zip

Then extract the zipfile.
After ectracting you get an exe file.
Extract this file also.
Then you get ruu.conf and the other setup files.
edit ruu.conf and add 1 line to it
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
then save ruu.conf
after this start baupgrade.exe.

Hope it works but it only helps with country id error so if device is
differend then we need to do something else.

good luck

Oh if you get error tell me the 5 2digit nrs that appear, i can get device data from baupgrade.exe
There is a table with nrs and providers in it

[JLynch]

Thank you for your reply!

I will try that out now. Will inform you what happend!

thanks a lot.

IT WORKED!

VASTLOPER - THANK YOU SO MUCH for your TRICK!!

All the others who replied - THANK YOU, too!

KENJAVA - Try that! It worked really perfectly. Even with the newest Upgrade from the O2 page!

The only thing I don´t like about the O2 upgrade is the LOGO next to the start-button, since I´m using T-Mobile and since It´s always in the front and bugging me ;-) ... Anything I can do against it???

Have a nice week!

You can edit some files in the extended rom to remove the logo and the default o2 settings but you must wait till i am home again so i can look it up.

vastloper (naam pas wel bij dit topic ) Denk je dat ik op deze manier ook mijn XDA2s (uit Maleisie) kan updaten?

[vastloper]

I think it will as long as it is a PH20B device.
If you ask questions in dutch to me do that in PM please.
People like to be able to understand what is written here so we try to write in english.

Vastloper. Thanks for the info. Yes it's a PH20B unit.

Sorry about the Dutch.. It's a bad habit.

Here is the question in English: vastloper (name fits to this topic*) Do you also think that I can update my XDA2s (from Malaysia) this way?

* vastloper translated to English means "seize up".

[vastloper]

Many people ask me what my name means in english.
Thanks for the translation.

how to edit files in the extended rom ?? :roll:

[vastloper]

First unlock extended rom and unhide extended rom with tool found elsewhere on this forum.
You can find it on the ftp under extended rom kitchen in folder tools.
After unlocking you need to reboot the device.
Remove the lines that have to do with O2 in the file config.txt
After changing config.txt you need to mak hard reset.

Good luck.
