re-do the upgrade dude.... goodluck... check out DCS's thread about upgrading

i upgraded (and switched languages in the process) my girlfriend's iMate 2k2 ( a.k.a. XDA2/MDA2) by flashing with an upgrade from my cellular provider.
the first time, things went wrong and I saw USB and some weird junk on the screen.
panicking, i decide to try it again.
this time it erased everything, and crashed when it came to 15 percent of the writing part.
REALLY spooked, i tried it a third time, and sat in front of the laptop to prevent a screensaver or hard-drive-spindle-down from happening, and the upgrade went smoothly.
it was a boring 45 minutes, occasionally jiggling the mouse to keep the computer alive, but it worked.
so try and try again

Thx All For Help
i've read a post by DCS a after that all went smooths for my noob knowledge ...the 3 button reset hlp me alot cu guys ..and HF!

XDA2 172181_final.exe update problems Help Required

Dear Fellow Forum Members,
Followed instructions as per Xda_II_Upgrade.pdf, during installation got to a section where I got a message saying that the current rom is being erased a task bar was displayed which increase's in percentage as the job goes through. However the job was still at 0% completion when an error message was displayed saying the job had failed and the device needed to be undocked and a soft reset performed and then re-docked and to restart the process again. After performing the undocking of the device and software reset I get a message on the screen serial V1.0.1 when connected to the cradle the message changes to USB 1.01 and I cannot do anything else the unit does not boot into pocketpc, as you can imagine this is very frustrating as I depend on my xda2 to receive and make phone calls I would be very grateful any members know of any way to get around this problem. I must say I am a bit concerned a try and tested xda2 update has led to this problem.

Just run the update .exe file again with the XDA docked and it should just install the update again. It happened to my mate on Saturday with his XDA II and he just ran the program again.

Dave,
done as you said and all went thru fine you are a star thanks mate.

No problems it's good as a newbie to be able to actually help people.

Trying to Upgrade ( Flash ) and now I am stuck in Bootloader

I tried the Upgrade, but it did never start, so when I tried to get it back to normal, doing a reset, I only get the Bootloader screen, with the USB and v0.60, I tried a Soft and Hard Reset but nonthing, I have tired to re-flash it again, but also nothing, please any help, thanks

I can not even to start the Flash program, I get ERROR : 101
ERROR 101 : CONNECTION ERROR
PLEASE ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME, THANKS

I WAS ABLE TO REFLASH IT, BUT I STILL GET TO BOOTLOADER ONLY
PLEASE HELP

latest ActiveSync installed? Removed battery?

Had this issue Yesterday. Even if You update the ROM, You will still stay in bootloader (for me it was like this). Do another update, this time only the radio (so delete ms_.nbf and nk.nbf from the directory from where You run your upgrade utility). After this (another 20 minutes) You should be able to have result after the cold-reset.
On the bootloader there is a small difference. Upgrading the ROM shows how far he actually is (in percentage), whilst upgrading Radio it does not show You the percentage, only that he is busy.
Ruud

Just try the update without any insert card (sd and sim), and a wonder will happen!
Teja

- connect the JASJAR with your PC using the USB cable. Activesync will NOT start and the XP says does recognize it
- do a HardReset (press the 2 (-) in the keyboard and softrest it all at the same time. Hardreset screen appears (DON'T press 0 or X..)
- start the update program. Please use a good upgrade like the latest from imate ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
- start the update and when it's looking to check the version of the JASJAR softreset it
It should start to reflash it without problems.
I hope it helps...

SD card removed?
remove your SD card

you may have been not so carefully with the USB connection contact of the phone, or you ahve charged the phone at car while you were starting the car engine..some guys repaired this in service, or it passes by itself.

How to load the original ROM back?

I've been reading this forum and the internet for about 4 days now,
hence I post this question...
I have an HTC P3300 (Artemis) and tried flashing windows mobile 6.5 onto the ROM..
it reached about 56% when the usb cable got unplugged and the flash failed.
I can get it into bootloader mode...
I'm from India and the original carrier was Idea.(I suppose so, because it had an Idea screen for a few seconds when the phone was switched on)
I used to use a Vodafone SIM, so I guess it was already CID unlocked.
Tried flashing various roms.. including the HTC windows mobile 6.0 worldwide edition, the t-mobile edition and the sprint edition from this site, after putting it into bootloader mode.
Windows Mobile Device Center will obviously not run, as the phone doesnt go beyond displaying this :
IPL 3.07.0001
SPL 3.07.0000
GSM 02.69.90
OS 1.27.0.0
I havent done a HardSPL and I suppose that the ROM flash only changed the OS ... everything else was probably the same.
I can't get mtty to work via USB....nonetheless, I have no clue how to use mtty.
Here are the filenames of the ROMs i've tried:
1. Evolution 23820 ...(downloaded off some site with windows mobile screenshots that got me all "WOW!")
2. Artemis Vanilla 2.0 WWE
3. ART_TMOUK_11311001_024990_WWE_Ship_R3.exe ..(T-mobile)
4. HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe ..(this one should have worked)
5. HTC_P3300_NLD_3.13.404.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe ..(this one's probably german)
6. Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 (some .uif cd image that i downloaded off rapidshare..about 65 MB)
7. Opal_WM6.5_D24_21901_COM2_WWE (I know I shouldn't have tried this, but this was my first attempt after successfully updating a touchviva to windows mobile 6.5, but I was a complete n00b back then..)
I tried all these ROMs mostly using a "ROM Update Utility" included with the package..
I also tried getting the .nbh files out and putting them on a 1GB microSD after renaming them "ARTEIMG.nbh" ...it used to say "Checking SD card".. and then would show the RGB bootloader again with :
IPL 3.07.0001
SPL 3.07.0000
Errors I received while flashing through USB :
1. Invalid Vender ID (390)
2. Connection Error (260)
it generally stops at 3%
What should I do now?
Thanks for reading.

ouhh doesnt look very good. but happens aaand can be solved.
try this:
Hardreset your phone
or reinstall the originalrom in bootmode: link
please keep care of the usb cable. or try to reflash your phone via sd-card. its very easy and less dangerous.

tried both
hard reset lands u to the same place.. HTC logo and IPL SPL GSM OS...
installing the rom from the link given ... shows a connection error(in bootloader mode)

and did you try to install another rom via sd card.
wihtout pc-connection?

You have to first unlock your device by uspl and then install the rom or simple way is by using sd card. Search the forum for upgrading Artemis by sd

ok, but how do i use uspl if all i can get to is bootloader mode?????
i thought that u need to have windows mobile running well to use uspl...

WM5 English ROM
Does anyone have the windows mobile 5 english rom for artemis?
I tried the french WM5 rom from rapidshare.. but it doesnt work...

I got it to work!!!!
thanks to all you helpful kind smart people at xda!
well.. you people kept me searching for answers...
i found the original rom at an htc south asia site.. windows mobile 6.0
the htc artemis p3300 is also called "dopod" on that site...
anyway... the only reason i couldnt get to it in the start was that it said the cellphone serial number i'd entered wasn't eligible for the update..
i just messed with the last few digits (interchanged them) and got it to accept the download...
that was plain lucky,...
but it wouldve never happened if i hadn't tried..
now.. i'm going to do an artemis uspl via windows mobile device center according to the guides on various fora..
thanks people!
i want to post the rom to some site so that people can get it even 3 years from now... (most of my links were all from 2007.. so the rapidshare downloads hardly ever worked!).. but i don't know how..
