err little help - xdaII 2003-2003se upgrade gone a bit wrong

[marff]

Hi all,

I just upgraded my xdaII from WM2003 to WM2003SE which seemed to work ok.

I then got the issue where the screen stops responding and worked out how to edit the config.txt file, ok I thought I'll just re-install SE.

So I dock my XDA into the cradle but it wont connect with active sync 4 anymore, which means I cant install the OS again.

Can anyone help me?? :(

Cheers

Marff

nevermind, did a hard reset and the pda is working ok now, still doesnt want to connect to Activesync tho

when flashing you dont want it to connect to activesync anyway
best thing is to set activesync to not sync on usb devices let windows find the pda as a non as device and then flash

also if you change the extented rom as in config.txt and reflash you are likely to get a new extented rom and a new config.txt overwriting yours anyway
most of the time when you change extented rom a hardreset is what you want

Hi rudegar

I didnt get as far as reinstalling the OS with the modded config.txt, once I hard reset the pda after installing it the first time it worked ok, it installed the O2 extensions and worked fine, except MSN messenger wont work, where before it would.

i tried disabling what you said and windows wouldnt detect it at all.

With it enabled I could see it as a mobile device in my computer, but not access it.

Also the active sync window would not load, the taskbar icon is there, but when you click on it the window does not pop up, but you can get to the options

its annoying as I now cant install any programs onto the pda, I dont have a USB reader for the SD card at the moment.

not sure whats going on

when flashing you dont want it to connect to activesync anyway

really? cos the program I ran to upgrade the OS, himaupgradeUt says the pda should be docked and synced??

just installed activesync on my other pc and the pda syncs ok with it.
