XDAIIi New ROM from O2 and xdaforum, both fail with ERROR114

[hitla]

Hello Guys,

Disaster. I tried updating to the new ROM from the O2 website and it fails with : "ERROR114....

Tried the version from this great forum and guess what? same error.....

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

My XDAIIi was brill. Now its dead... :cry: :cry:

Try putting the 2i into bootloader mode by pressing the power button, action pad down and the reset button at the same time. The screen will say serial with a version number at the bottom. When you connect it to your computer this should change to USB. Then try running the update again.

If you are using the modified version I posted on this site then the install will fail. Just run the program MAUpgradeUT_noid.exe a second time without touching the 2i at all.

Hope all goes well.

Hi Pug,

Unfortunaely that has not work. see screen shots attached.

[hitla]

can anyone tell me what this damn error is pls............... :cry: :cry: :cry:

oh by the way the iMate PDA2 rom fails as well with the same error. !!

If both your devices are failing to upgrade the problem must lie with your computer somewhere.

Are you using firewalls like zonealarm which may be interfering with the update process. If so try disabling them.

I assume you are connecting using USB and not serial. Do so if for no other reason than it's faster.

Are you using Activesync 4? More stable for upgrading than 3.8 but lacks sync over LAN feature - not a great deal if you've never used it. You can find this on the wiki link top left of this page.

Try downloading the packages again. I've posted the radio rom here as thats the one you seem to be having immediate problems with. Download it and overwrite the one on my modified rom.

I'll post more if I think of anything as I'm suffering a hangover right now and can't think too much cos it hurts. :?

[hitla]

thnx pug,

really appreciate your help. yes iam running firewall (norton). I will try your modified radio and advise. fingers crossed. and thnx once again.
using activesynch 4 as well from this forum :)

Hi pug,

Sorry the radio did not work. renamed the radio and ran update and the update works for nk.nbf and ms.nbf files. without radio the phone does not work but proved that there is no problem with my pc or usb cradle etc. the problem is the radio.

my IMEI is 354962000270150.

the radio file from the Launch rom from O2 does not work, so either my IIi has a damaged component or something else that I am not aware of.
copied your radio file to the other iMate upgrade and it still fails with the same error 114 !!

Any other ideas or suggestions pls, its really depressing to loose the XDAIIi permanently. :cry: :cry: :cry:

[hitla]

Oh I forgot to mention that the IIi is also unlocked and the ExtROm is unlocked as well. Will this make a diffeence?

[pug]

The fact that the 2i is unlocked won't make any difference. The EXTRom on the 2i can't be unlocked and always results in the storage being locked which will stop the phone being updated. Maybe not at the actual update stage but certainly further down the line after the hard reset.

[hitla]

Ok now I have have tried various things as posted in this forum in various sections. Still get the same error.

Originally about 3 months ago, I had to hard reset, then I used the Launch ROM from the O2 website. I still have that original exe but that also NOW fails. I am now running out of options.

Any other ideas?

It might be that because you have unlocked the Extended ROM that it causes this fault, either that or you device has an internal problem which you cannot fix.

Take it back to the shop they will replace it.

I got my XDA2i back from O2 after a warranty mainboard replacement and decided to upgrade with the new O2 rom..horrors.. I got the 114 error and repeated efforts failed to cure it. I then inatalled a/sync on another PC and ran the upgrade from there...
Bingo! it worked..always worth a try if things defy logic.
Probably an old firewall that didn't uninstall properly.
One thing though, does anybody know when my backup battery will kick in and charge.
It arrived back from O2 completely dead but even with the main battery full it doesn't want to take a charge yet??

Just humour me and try the radio upgrade on another PC... That's how i got round my 114 error

[hitla]

To all the people who have advised me... thank you.

I have tried the upgrade on 2 other laptops I have, one with Activesync 4 and one with Activesync 3.8.

AND..... the same failure error.

I have now taken it back to O2 and they have taken it in for repair !!

Should rcv it back next week hopefully repaired or replaced !!

Will keep you guys posted.

Once again great forum and great posters with serious technical advice.

Well done keep it up.
:D :D

[hitla]

Soory guys,

Have been away for the last few weeks, so unable to update you all.

Well O2 replaced my device. It has the new ROM but the old radio !!

I would like to thank all of you advised me.

:) :)

Hi,
I just downloaded the O2 Rom-Upgrade.
To keep my 2020i in German I only did a Radio-Update from 1.02 (ran the installer and copied the files to a different directory together with the AllUgrade kindasomething.....)
The update worked, it always worked this way, but after the update the Radio showed up as 1.00.00 (MUST be 1.03, at least that is what o2 says....)
Any idea?
Thanks, Günter
P.S.: I should add that the phone works..
