I think i may have bricked my O2 XDA EXEC

[Xiviliai]

hey.

i wanted to upgrade my o2 Xda Exec to WM6, i am not a stranger to flashing, and enjoy modifying consoles and such.

however i am running windows vista, and got the connection error (yes, i read through the stickies first) I was now stuck on the bootloader screen, no matter what i could do, and none of the utitlities, including mtty would work.

upon deeper research i learned that vista was a problem for flashing.

So i took my xda to a windows xp machine that i had freshly set up the day before:

installed active sync,
installed drivers,
disconected xda,
unchecked activesync usb connections,
restarted,
Installed "XDA_EXEC_WWE_21200_21207_11500.exe"
It then appeared to succesfully work.

upon hard rebooting though, i now have no screen, no bootloader, and no connectivity, hard rebooting brings up the white screen, upon hitting 0, nothing happens... i fear it is now bricked....

Will not charge, no orange light comes on when plugged either directly into power, or directly into computer.

its now an "Unknown Device" in vista and a "device thats malfunctioned" in xp, i cant connect anything too it.

mtty wont give me any options other than COM, on vista or xp.

can anybody offer any oppinions?

This is the device in question:

Vista doesn't have any problems! I have flashed my XDA so many times under Vista that I count them! You only need the right driver that have been posted several times here in the forums! It is not Vista's fault the the stupid flash utility is as old as the earth itself!

i tried updating the drivers before flashing, with the ones i downloaded from here, but it said i couldnt as the drivers i had were better, even after uninstalling and re installing...

as a side note i found this if its of interest to anybody:

offical xda upgrade

I have updated them manualy! And everything is fine! You only need to kill Sync center and Mobile device Center from task manager before flashing!

ok, well can anybody help me understand whats happened?

are there any steps i can take to diagnose any further, or will i write it off as a brick/

i tried updating the drivers manually, and it didnt work, mobile device center was disabled as well. yet something went wrong, it wouldnt connect, but it got far enough to wipe my rom. i had no version numbers of anything, and just a bootloader screen, after trying to upgrade with windows xp, i now have no response at all from my xda, it wont charge or anything.

can anybody help me diagnose any further? or help me understand what went wrong, if its not a case of windows vista and old programs.

If you have noy figured it out yet then i would say i have exactly the same problem with my xda exec and i proved to be installation problem, what i did was, reflashed with original wm5 ROM first, after setting it up completelyi then flashed again with wm6, problem resolved automatically... so good news is your xda is still very much alive.i used windows XP though... give it a try mate!!

Manual bootloader mode and then reflash with an original rom of your choice.
That'll do the trick.

I recently upgraded my XDA Exec to WM6 with no problems so offered to do same for my sisters XDA Exec but part way through activesync crashed. Needless to say after that her XDA was dead wouldn't do anything at all and appeared to have no usb connection no charging nothing. After a hard reset I did get the reset screen but pressing "0" or "x" did nothing.
After much reading of many forums I couldn't find the answer to this and so I had to give my sister mine Boo Hoo!!

Anyway not one to give up this is how I fixed it:)

I happen to have the XDA plugged into a different usb port to what I normally use and done a hard reset on it then pressed "0" then the PC popped up saying found new hardware and it was installed and working so I looked hard at the unlit and what appeared to be blank screen of the XDA I noticed then it said "usb" at the top and "2.0" at the bottom so I ran http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/Xda_..._v1.30.162.exe which doesn't need activesync even though it say it does on the start screen just carry on it found it ok and now its all back and working ok.

This may not work for you but the usb thing is easy to miss if you use the same port all the time and the instructions tell you you need activesync to run the flash program is misleading. Just to note I did have activesycn 4.5 installed and running when I run the xda up date exec but I'm certain it played no part in the process.

Of course I wish I had found this before I spent £150 on a replacement
anyone need an XDA Exec for Xmas????

[slickjdip]

This issue has now been resolved, not sure if you need to do all the steps but they worked for me:

1. Remove SIM card and SD card
2. Reinstall Active Sync and reboot
3. Reapply ROM
