o2 XDA II software upgrade disaster

[sisfis]

Hi
Unfortunately I was in the middle of upgrading the software to version 172181 when I decided, for some strange reason, to pick the phone up out of the cradle and make a call. DOH!
I can no longer get the phone to boot up / turn on it is just stuck on the low light o2 backscreen and shows
r 1.17.00
g 1337.20
d 1.72.00wwe
Im quite literally just stuck on that screen, the phone wont seem to reset, reboot or hard reset or turn on or off.
I assume im doing the hard reset correctly on/off button and reset button with stylus.
I did see somewhere to use the on/off button, camera button, record button and reset button with stylus but this does not appear to work either.
I don't know whether the condition is terminal or not but anyone can help i would really appreciate it I have a lot of information on there that is very valuable to me.

Oooh upgrade seems to be installing \o/

would you happen to know if there is any way I can manage my contacts from the pc? i searched activesync and there appears to be nothing there. My old motorola bought up kind of a virtual phone on the pc and managing and adding contacts was easy.

Are you serious? Outlook/Contacts! Nothing easier.

[newquaymarc]

ative sync should kick express in and that will manage contacts/calender

would using thunderbird as the default email client cock this up then?

i was attempting to upgrade this xda that i just bought to this same version. is this the newest one? what version of windows is it? i got an error in the middle of the upgrade now it just shows the connection type at the top of the screen and V1.01 on it. tried the UpgradeUt_noID file but it says that it cant connect after about 3 minutes

It's bcoz the flashing/upgrading/installing of ur fone seems not to be finished. Always follow instruction. If you really want to do something, think twice so you never messed up. nweiz, try to load it again in bootup mode and re-flash it. there are a lot of ROM for the Himalaya, you can download one. Try to search. again, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!
