Help me with Atom Life ROM Upgrading[Is this Your question? Here I got the Answer]

[corepda]

Dear members
I was really very desperate to try my hands on ROM upgrading since I got my Atom life. But inspite of all ROM being available here I am not able to upgrade my ROM because it has to be done through mini-sd. I don't know whats going wrong but here are the issues I have faced::confused::confused:

1.I am not able to get the Record+Reset working on my Atom life.
2.I have found somewhere in this forum that 2gb minisd does work. is this correct?
3.Can there be any alternative way to get this device upgraded like we use to do in HTC devices.

I wish to know from all the users if they are having answers for these questions.
This is a must have for a thread for Atom, but couldn't find any dedicated solution to this procedure of upgrade.
Hope to get some solution soon.

What you see above were the most expected questions of a newbie to ROM upgrading in O2 Atom Life[O2 comet]
Here is the most simple guide in upgrading the device. This is based on my personal experience so any deviation ca be expected in case you do it yourself. But most of the steps are just ubiquitous in case of any attempt at upgrading the ROM in Atom Life[O2 comet]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:
Formatting card & setting the file type to fat16 or fat on your PC or with the help of any pocket pc application.

Then you need to copy the file[xxx.DIO] on your memory card[not in any folder] Just reset the device pressing record[in right middle side] along with stylus in the softreset hole[in the left botton side]

Take Stylus out first & then keep pressing the record button until black screen with minisd detect appears.
Thats it. Now it will start installing the ROM from the memory card.

Things to remember:
1.get 1gb or less card[2gb won't do at times]
2.Format it in windows or in your ppc in either fat or fat16 format[don't do fat 32 it won't work]
3.Copy the file on the memory card[not to any folder in it]

Hope the guide will help you & you will have no problems in updating the phone reply if there is any problem. :)

Hi guy, can only adv you the pt(1) + (2)...

1.I am not able to get the Record+Reset working on my Atom life: You must Press Record + Reset, leave Reset first.
2.I have found somewhere in this forum that 2gb minisd does work. is this correct: Yes, I always use 2G SD to up ROM (make sure there's no any file in SD excepted AL1.DIO)

Good luck!

[corepda]

I didn't get you my friend. plz be more clearer.

[bravedoan]

1. Press Record + Reset, then leave Reset first but still keep pressing Record. AL will be in Bootloader mode for yr up ROM by SD.
2. For up ROM by SD, I always use 2G SD to up ROM (make sure there's no any file in SD excepted AL1.DIO).
3. AL can support 4G SD w/o no any problem, not yet test for 8G SD.

have u tried flashing using a 4G card?
2G cards never worked for me. I use a 512M card for flashing. Without RUU u can't flash a custom ROM.

[corepda]

but maniac i have seen you claiming that 2gb card does work. thats whar made me confused.thanx allover..anybody tried 8gb on life with minisd adaptor.

naah. i dont think I have ever mentioned that before. If I have, then its by mistake. My bad then.

[corepda]

@Maniac, Don't bother brother. May be it could have been because of some mistake or may be in some other context.
Anybody tried 8gb microsd with minisd adaptor. Actually I wish to post results myself but the problem is that its not available in my city so have to order from ebay so a bit reluctant if it doesn't work.
Thanks & Regards

My suggestion. Keep a smaller mini SD for flashing and a higher capacity card for other purposes. From my personal experience of using a 4GB card. Read is quite slow at times. It could also give issues while booting if you install applications on memory card.

[corepda]

I think I have no other option but to buy one. Hope it won't turned out to be a bad deal.
@maniac, bro why you have this slow reading problem when I don't imagine this can be there in such a high model PPC.
Moreover let me confirm everybody once again that the 2gb minisd won't work for ROM upgradation but 1gb does work like charm so try it w/o any doubts. It is confirmed as I have experimented with few of the phones.

Speed of the processor has got nothing to do with the SD card reading speed. It all depends on the card driver. My 4 GB is a pain at times.

2G is working for me. Never test 4G to flash ROM.

[corepda]

Really bravedoan? Thats a surprise I must say for me atleast as it didn't work for me. Anyway thanx for your reply. Any idea of 8GB working on Life?

Can you help please?. My rw6815 after upgrading to wm6.1 of Biohazard cable / pc is total block. Before I left the blue screen of Biohazard. Today, after many restarts I managed to bring up the black screen with writing "Device clean boot ...... reset to factory default !!"""". I attacked the usb to PC for power and possible connections to the PC . But an hour has not changed and the computer screen does not acknowledge it. What do I do ????? Greetings Raphael.

[corepda]

Oh Poor dib,
Mate this handset seems to me is identical to O2 Atom phone. So its better if you just check out a similar thread catering to Atom users. Try Wiki if it can help. We are users of Atom life which is not the phone which you are asking about. I could have helped you had it been an HTC phone which I used for long time. But this is my first O2 phone so can't help much. Hope someone knows about this problem comes out with its solution. Good luck brother.

Just out of curiosity, do you have an external storage card inserted?

[dib0231]

I inserted a 1gb miniSD from FAT32.

[corepda]

I think you have not followed the instructions carefully. Follow the instructions by formatting card & setting the file type to fat16 or fat on your PC or with the help of any pocket pc application. Then you need to copy the file[xxx.DIO] on your memory card[not in any folder] Just reset the device pressing record[in right middle side] along with stylus in the softreset hole[in the left botton side]
Take Stylus out first & then keep pressing the record button until black screen with minisd detect appears.
Thats it. Now it will start installing the ROM from the memory card.

2.Format it in windows or in your ppc in either fat or fat16 format[don't do fat 32 it won't work]
3.Copy the file on the memory card[not to any folder in it]

Hope the guide will help you & you will have no problems in updating the phone reply if there is any problem. :)

Ok. Al1.dio use the file that I found on your rom. I hope that your instructions are useful for my rw6815. Thank you do know.

[dib0231]

My rw6815 died. Does not turn over, even if I reset (of any type) is not lit. Yesterday while he was on, I reset - -, pen, I crushed the button reflex. The desk is gone, the screen has become all white, rw6815 goes out and died. Now no longer meets the buttons. What should I do?

[corepda]

Oh I am so sad :)
I believe there must have been some solution to it. As I have already mentioned I am new to O2 devices so need to take some time before suggesting anything serious. I would suggest you to have a word with some the technicians out there in the Atom forum. I wish you good luck & personally I am very sad about the news.

[khelink282]
