I have a qtek 2020 with v1.52 rom. I downloaded the new Italian rom (1.72.04ITA) from www.windowsmobile.it and I tried to upgrade it.
After erasing internal rom the upgrade process stopped with a fault message:
Error 112: ce rom update error
Now the display is dark. I can read “serial” or “USB” on it.
What’s happened?
I tried again 10 times but nothing.
It seems that connection between pc and qtek wasn’t correctly established. This because the little activesync icon (bottom right) is now always gray, never green.
Help me please!
Hm...
When OS is not started, PC ActiveSync cannot connect to your device, i think this is indeed...
But open Windows Task Manager and kill process wcescomm.exe (this is that tray icon of ActiveSync) and try to run update again...
HTH
> open Windows Task Manager and kill process
> wcescomm.exe and try to run update again
I tried but nothing.
I also tried to execute XDAtools but I recieved the following message:
Cannot execute the remote communication program.
Please make sure that USB/Serial cable is properly connected.
What can I do?
Does your device changes the screen from "Serial... blablabla..." to "USB... blablabla..." when you put it into cradle?
If so, what update writes when you try to run it (after putting device into cradle and killing activesync)?

Exactly

I can read following messages:

Any ideas?
Stupid question, but do you have pluged charger to cradle? I assume that so...
On other hand, I searched through this forum and found this links:

HTH
I tried, but nothing.
Anyway thank you for your reply
Hm... I was solving this issue yesterday and try to download update again (some corruption may come when update is downloaded) and flash it again...
I did it. I downloaded and tried also other international rom version, but nothing to do.
I’m going to call the costumer service ...
This is strange... :evil:
Unhappy, we are so far from each other... I want to help you...
Do you by chance have your cradle plugged into a USB hub? There have been many reports of problems in this configuration.
If so, try it with the QTek cradle plugged directly into the computer.
If not, a call to the service center may well be in order.
> we are so far from each other...
> I want to help you
You are very kind. But I live in Rome ...
> have your cradle plugged into a USB hub?
No, it is plugged directly into pc
Service center seems to be the only chance
:roll:
Me too..
Hi!
Just experienced the exact same thing :-(
I hate it!
I has done it one time before, and then I had to send it in to be repared. I dont know what they do, but I got it back working again.
But now when I saw the new official 1.72 rom, I wanted to give it another try.... but... now its dead again, doing the exact same thing as yours...
any news?
Regards
Peter.
You are very unlucky.
Today I’m going to call service center.
I hope they’ll solve problems quickly.
I’ll tell you what’s goin’ on.
Working!
hey!
I actually got it back to life!!
I took a different PC, connected my qtek and just started the upgraded again, even though the activesync wasnt connected. It started to upgrade, and my Qtek is now back to normal with 1.72!
Try if you can, with af different PC...
Today my service center replyied to my email regarding this, sayning that they couldnt help my, and there was no guarantee since i tryied to upgrade my self :-(
So, good thing i did it my self
I was thinking about it because I had some problems with usb ports on my pc. So this morning I tried the upgrade from another pc and ... YEEEAH.
I make it !!!
Now qtek 2020 works again !!!
Yeah!
Congratulations!
Good thing we have this forum
Experienced any problems with the upgrade yet?
yes.
still problems with bluetooth connection: no signal available from gps reciever. :shock:
problem solved by downloading bluetooth tools from:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html :idea:
now it works fine.

hi,
i just received my o2 xda 2, i decided to upgrade to 1.60 when i saw 1.72 it's out:
1st quest:
where could i find 1.72?
Does the qtek one works with my xda?
thnx
ciao mario!!come ti va col gps BT e tomtom3?
Hi!
I would definetly not try to do any upgrade as long as the upgrade isnt directly comming from your service center. All the XDA upgrades I tryied on my Qtek didnt work at all...!
Be carefull!
hi all ! im very new in this domain ! first here is what i DID : i have this XDA with ver 1.6x (something like that) and i wanted to upgrade to the new version from www.microsoft.com/etc etc...! so i dld it and started to write the new version.The program deleted my old version of windows and started to write the new ver after doing all the checks.But my laptop suddenly got into stand by when the program was writing the new soft at 7%.He said i should unplug then reset and re plug the poket pc! i reset it with my stilus and try to reconnect but now my setup program for upgrading doesn't FIND my XDA II at all....he tells me to connect the poket pc to cable.When the device want's to start i get the screen with O2 and the version down in the right corner but it wont get passt that...that is why probably the soft from my laptop says that i should connect the pda...my pda doesn't BOOT ! right ?...so...now my big question...is there a program that i can use to WRITE windows mobile to my XDA II ?..so that he don't checks the version...he just overwites all data so my xda will work again! hopefully somebody can help me...or maybe is there a program that can delete all from my xda so i can start to write the new version to it ! pls ..smb help me with that ...i need to fix this very quick..if not im a dead person..PS :i forgot to mention,,,..my PDA doesn't belong to me ..so this is why im dead..if i don't get soon a new ver of win to it !...i'll wait for your answer...! so the final question would be...where to find a TOOL that can WRITE my ROM without DETECTING (without active sync-cause this prg doesn't recognize anymore my XDA2) my PDA !...IF someone can help pls write me quick..you can also write me on yahoo: [email protected] ! thx alot guys
you get the upgrade files from www.my-xda.com not from microsoft....
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!
Hello all!
I've purchased O2 XDA Zinc in Arabian. I'm living in Russia now.
When I open the box, get the PDA and turn them on I've got screen like this:
mars II eboot ver......
h/w version v1.4
******** usb loader ***********
diskonchip g4 128mb
start downloading image...
please plug-in usb cable...
And that's all... Now I can't go to Arabian to change my PDA and there is no service center that can fix it in Russia
I tried soft and hard reset and no effect.
When I connect PDA to PC the new hardware "Asus USB sync" appear in system, but Active Sync does not recognise them (I have 4.5 version).
All o2 zinc upgrade software are working with active sync and available os and i can't use them.
I've extracted binary filles from update exe, larger of it i've rename to MarsII_G4.ABI and put it on SD. But after insterting card and restarting nothing happens.
I also have some knowledge of elelectronic.
So, please help, how can I fix my PDA?
Thank you in advise!
ok fer
find another ppc first
find a dos app and rename it to devicespy.exe and make it readonly
transfer it to windows directory of other ppc and plug it to pc via mini usb and activesync 4.5
download and run any zinc rom from seeo2
if you did it well the upgrade software cant recognize the device type so continue update progres until your ppc get reset.
replace that ppc with your zinc and update will continue to end and your zinc will be fin.
choose any lang you wish.
You'd better visit www.seeO2.com
and register with your IMEI.
Then you can download WM5 or WM6 official rom.
Hope this can help
Yeaaa!!
It's really working!!
Thank you!
I've recovered my device by using this method.
O2 XDA Zinc. Please, help
Hi where can I get dos app file??
hi all......
i do really need help for reviving my dead o2 zinc.
it is suddenly dead wen connected to notebook via activesync.
yes.. it is SUDDENLY DEAD.
i'm doing nothing.
i have been trying to entering bootloader (by pressing right d-pad plus soft reset), but the bootloader doesn't show up.
doing hard reset, but nothing happen. still dead.
one thing that works is...
there is blinking orange LED when i connected zinc with wall charger (without battery inserted)
and there is orange LED (showing up about 3-5 secs) when i connected zinc with wall charger (with battery inserted)
anyone can help me solving this?
how bout using mtty?
anyone knows?
I have a o2 xdaIIs, when I connect the battery, the phone goes to boot model, show me the serial and version v2.07, when connect to usb, connect to the computer, try to reflash the rom, no success. Please help me.
what's the error in the computer screen?
it may help if you searched the forum
using the string that is said in the flashing program.
like Error <number>
I too am suffering from the sam problem.
I was attempting to upgrade the ROM and it failed. Now all I see on the XDA IIs screen is USB at the top and v2.7 at the bottom. This is whilst in the sync cradle.
When out, the USB changes to SERIAL.
Please help as I don't really want to use this as a paper weight
Thank you....
"the USB changes to SERIAL."
when it does that it's ready to recieve a new rom and starting the flash will give it that if it finish successfull that is
thanx for that. I also went scouring the forum and came across a faq about this very problem...
thank you though for taking the time to respond.
I appreciate it !
have a good new year !
Does anybody know if there is a way to boot N560 using SD card? I think I killed my FS with some "rom killer" and all I get now is FS boot screen, no other activities.
Any way to start it from SD card and flash it from there?
Perhaps any other way to bring it back to life?
i have the same problem
is there anybody for help???
SOS please

You cannot burn the ROM from an SD card.
If the device has had the anti-theft password set at some stage then you cannot reburn the ROM! This might be the problem?
A hard reset on the N560 followed by running the Loox burn program on a PC with ActiveSync connection to the N560 cradle is the only answer i.e. a normal ROM burn.

Theft protection is not a problem here. It was wrong ROM and now it is stuck on boot screen, active sync does not see it at all, maybe there is a trick to somehow anable burn, flash, service mode on it? So far nothing helps....

GREAT!!!!
Thanks ever so much! You are real HELP!!!!
You should close process "wcescomm.exe" on PC in task manager. Then hold button record, power and puch reset after that you will come in boot loader. Run the program mtty.1.42 and select usb connect. If You will see the any error just start again mtty. Put command l c:\os_213u.nbf (You should put correct flash file in c:\ or use correct path to os_213u.nbf, l - like L but small). When it will done You should start PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe and flash you PDA.

You can if you use an translator like www.windowslivetranslator.com or translate.google.com
then it is pretty easy.
I've resolved...
Fully functional WM6.0 newplowe in English...
now I'm searching for editing it in Italian/French but I need to edit the rom part of the XIP (just that).
For doing that, I need to open decrypt the file .nbh file (don't really know howto, and newplow doesn't answer about that... ).
Hi everybody, I need your help. I spent 2 hours to read several posts about N560 brick recover, and I still can't figure how to do it.
I flashed the N560 with the WM 6.1 and then I tried to flash the backup Rom Image ... which failed. Now is stucked in the climbing image ... and is not reacting to nothing. I didn't try the mitty sol because I don't have a clear ideea about using it, I am still a newbie ...
Please, I am begging for help if you can , thanks

Try this?
Take the N560 off the cradle. Remove the battery for at least 30 seconds. Reinsert battery and back cover. Do not worry if the screen shows the dolphins again. Do a full hard reset to get back to factory setting i.e Simultaneously press and hold the Suspend/Resume button (1) and the Calendar application button (2). Briefly press the stylus tip into the soft reset opening (3). Continue to hold down the Suspend/Resume button and the Calendar application button for a few seconds. The reset can take a few minutes. At the end an acoustic signal sounds. Please follow the further instructions on the display.
A hard reset should put the device back to the existing (last burned ROM) and you can try the burn again.
You probably do not know why the burn originally failed. The most common reason is some interrupt of the processor (internet access, switch of all internet access) but more likely something is polling the USB port, which might be shared in the PC. My external USB TV tuner constantly polls the USB port and interrupts any transfers on other ports! I suggest that you disconnect all other USB devices and make sure that your N560 cradle is connected to a USB port directly on the motherboard of the PC (not a USB hub or expansion card with multiple USB ports).
Hope this helps.

Hi
I tried to upgrade to 128mb but after restart I see only climbing. I tried everything here but on dolphins afterr line is blue it is finished. that I am unpluging device. starting looxflastool for 560 and first is trying to connect by active sync and that when no connection made I see dolphins on left screen of flash tool window. than I am pluging again and after couple secs I see that: Error"The language in this Flash Image update (ENGLISH) differs from that on your device. I tried to change rom on every language but not working as well. PLEASE HELP!!
if that helps than i will add than on top when delfins i see on 560 is two lines. first is typed 2.14.G4 on second directly below is 2.15.
and when mtty 1.42 finishing flashing i see following:
Image Download Finish
OEMFlashWrite(A0000000h,8C200000h,0224002Ah)
Download Fails !!!
OEMFlashWrite error(12)
Error : DownloadImage return error (code = 0xFFFFFFFF)
I've done already procedure You've mentioned here with taking of the battery for at least 30 secs with hard reset afterwards but it is still climibing screen. Can U manage this as well???
THX
The most common error with the procedure is NOT making a proper or true hard reset, or back to factory settings reset. If you do it wrong, you will only achieve a soft reset, the same as you get if you just put the stylus in the reset hole in the base of the N560.
The correct procedure is to hold Power/Resume/Suspend button (on/off button) and the Calendar button simultaneously. Keep holding them and with the other hand press in the reset hole with the stylus. The screen should blank out. KEEP holding the other two buttons all this time, and release the stylus. KEEP holding those two buttons until the screen display returns, only then release them.
This should allow another burn.
I hope this is the problem. It has happened to me and others, so I think I am right. But if this fails, you may need another approach.
