Dear all,
I just got my imate jam (sold in Telstra shop in Australia) on last Friday, yesterday, I tried to upgrade the ROM as followed the instructions from http://www.clubimate.com/.
As imate jam has only one USB port which is connected to PC (Microsoft Active Sync 3.8) and there is no cradle, only 30s after I tried to update the ROM, then the USB is disconnected suddenly, and after that my Imate Jam has a black screen (it's like the backlight has been set to the lowest setting). I can see the word Serial 1.0, and if I try to connect to the USB again, it will display USB 1.0. Nothing more than that. Soft or Hard Reset doesn't change anything
Anyone knows how to bring it back to life, otherwise, I will return to the Shop since I only bought it for 3 days, hopefully, they will give me a new unit to replace this "dead" Jam :evil:
When I did the upgrade, the battery is at 100%, so there is enough power, but I can't understand why.
The ROM & Instruction are download from the page
http://www.clubimate.com/index.asp?PageAction=JAM
I've downloaded the Generic version of the ROM with the name ma_cdlsku1_wwe_10300_143_10100_ship.exe (28 MB)
with the following information :
The details of the current ROM image (found under Start -> Settings -> Device Info):
Rom version 1.03.00 WWE
Radio version 1.01.00
ExtROM version 1.03.143 WWE (Generic)
(PS. Sorry you may not be able to see that particular page and instruction if you are not a member for that site)
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Cheers
Wallace
PS. One more question, how likely is it for the Imate Jam / O2 XDA2 Mini to upgrade to Windows 2005 Mobile once it is available??
You are luckily in the Bootloader mode. I crashed during my PDA2K upgrade and found settings to get it into Bootloader mode and the upgrade was able to rerun and put the ROMs back in place. Try disconnecting, rebooting your PC (start clean), then, with the Jam in Bootloader mode still, relaunch the upgrade utility. Let me know if that works.
Also, do a search here on how to get the Bootloader to launch on your JAM if you need to pull your battery and power it back up again to it.
Oops ...
I've returned my imate Jam to the shop, and for some reason, they can do a hard reset on the phone (which I tried to press the power button and the reset buttons many times before), and so the screen comes up ...
And of course I told them I lost confidence in the phone blah blah ... and I want to replace a new phone ... So now they have sent my phone back to Telstra and need the Telecom's approval for a replacement unit ...
Once they approve it (it takes a week they said), I will ask for an O2 XDAII Mini instead. As in Australia, the imate phone has been customized by Telstra so it will by default shows the ugly logo of Telstra, whereas O2 will still display O2, and it has the options to choose which provider under "programs" ...
In the first 2 days, I need to soft reset the imate jam quite a number of times, I set the password so after the phone is unused, it will be locked ... but sometimes when I tried to unlock it, I couldn't ... I mean the number pad (virtually in the screen) has no reaction when I pressed it ... so I was forced to reset the imate jam a number of times, I suspect it might be problems from Telstra's customisation to the phone, but anything can happen so I just guess ...
Hope to get a new replacement phone soon ... as I only got the phone for 3 days ...

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)?
> Does your device changes the screen from

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10333
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8835
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?

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,
I am in the process of upgrading my rom using the rom upgrade from the o2 www site.
Its been stuck on the
'checking the information on your device....Please wait.....Please do not disconnect your device from the PC or power supply until the upgrade is complete'
window for some time now. I dont know if its hung / crashed or in the middle of upgrading.
I dont want to chance it by removing the unit from the sync cradle but at the same time i dont wanna just leave it there for hours if its not doing anything.
Can anyone help ?
Steve
ps - the window I am speaking about came after the big window stating what your current rom / radio stack was and what they would be updated to giving you the option to click 'update' or 'cancel' I chose 'update' and got the message which I described earlier
Try this on a different PC...I'm assuming the phone itself is still functioning.
I had this a while back with the XDA2 and found that by attempting the upgrade on a laptop I had, it worked great without the hang.
I would then remove ASync completely (including registry items) and then reinstall it.
Cheers
Ant
I had this happen, I just shut down and restarted the installer program
Hi,
I was upgrading my XDA Exec using Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe
My laptop died. It sometimes overheats but it hadn't happened in a while.
I now can't progress past the bootloader even after full clean reset.
Anyway. I have the O2 screen reading:
R 1.04.01
G 42.37.P8
D 1.13.82 WWE
My laptop detects a USB connection, although it says "USB Device Not Recognised". Activesync 4.1 won't detect it, however, I've tried changing settings etc but to no avail.
I've trawled the board here and found people recovering from similar situations with other devices. Am I gonna be able to restore my beloved exec from paperweight-status?
btw: am in Ireland where O2 don't support the exec and bought it from a guy in the UK who got it as an unwanted upgrade. have flashed it before just fine...but don't think I'll be able to return it to O2 as UK and IRL are not the same company...
Help?
Mark
p.s. ran BL10_RUU_UNI_V11.exe and got 101 connection error :-(
EDIT:
Fixed, using bootloader mode and re-running the upgrade. thanks
xda neo crash
You need to reinstall your windows mobile 5 system. If you are using orginal german neo rom, you can download rom from o2 web site, or you can download from this sites ftp server
thanks for the feedback,
I found the info on restarting in bootloader mode (i had previously misunderstood "bootloader") and was able to re-flash it by USB no probs.
I now have a happy XDA
Hello there ...I have about the same problem with my MDA Vario....could you explain how do I "restart in bootloader mode"?
My PPC just stucks before loading windows...
thanks
How to get bootloader mode
Ok, did a bit of a lookaround and got this (I thinkg the MDA Vario is the XDA Mini)
For Xda II and Xda IIi
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the D pad (5 way directional button)
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda IIs
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the Camera button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda Exec
- Press & hold the power button
- Press & hold the Backlight button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole - until you see the word 'Serial' on the screen.
You should now be able to follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
For Xda Mini S
- Press & hold the voice command button
- Push the stylus into the soft reset hole (short quick press). Keep hold of the voice command button until you see the screen with multicolored horizontal stripes). The device is now in Bootloader mode and you can follow the upgrade process above for a device stuck in Bootloader mode.
EDIT:
The rest of the process (just in case you need to know) is as follows:
(and if you have problems open your connection settings in activesync and ensure that USB is unchecked...that is OFF. remember to reset the USB settings once you've successfully upgraded)
in 'Bootloader' mode
When this happens the device screen will be blank except for the words;
Serial
v 1.00a
The word 'Serial' should change to 'USB' when the cradle is plugged into the PC, and the version number below this will vary. When you get this screen, a soft or hard reset will not make any difference.
It is still possible to run the ROM upgrade file again, WITHOUT using Activesync (activesync will not restart anyway).
Firstly unplug the USB cradle and reboot the PC
Plug the cradle back into the USB port (this must plug directly into the USB port and not into a USB Hub/adaptor).
Now run the ROM upgrade file again from the PC. This should just run as per normal and correctly reflash the device.
Thanks bob_jesus!!
I am already in bootloader mode....Could you tell me where I can find the files to flash it? My device is Tmobile MDA Vario. Are there different files for flashing for every device? (O2 XDA mini s, MDA Vario, imate kjam...)??
Thanks again
Hi Ermoscow,
I'm sure if you trawl around the boards a bit you'll find it. I'm pretty new to this but yes, all these devices tend to have a different Rom, and each device itself tends to have a different Rom based on your mobile carrier.
e.g. I use an XDA exec which is the same as an HTC universal, they could theoretically use the same Rom but not the same rom as an XDA mini.
Again, this is all in my understanding and keeping it simple.
another idea would be to check the t-mobile site and download your rom directly from them, it should be available. if i find anything for you i'll post back.
Thank you everybody!
After managing to get to the bootloader mode I made a rom update which solved the problem!
Now it works great again!
thanks
Botloader Mode
I have a bricked MDA as I had a power outage while flashing the ROM. Can someone tell me how to recover. I find references to folks entering bootloader mode and then recovering, but I cannot find a post that tells me how to do it. Can anyone help? [email protected]
I'm desperate!
Regards,
Bob
Hi, which MDA is it because the instructions should be included in my post up above. You just need to find which XDA your device corresponds to and go from there. All that info's in this forum somewhere for sure.
Best of luck!

Hi,
I tried to upgarde from latest HTC official WM5 ROM, but it stuck after the colored screen, so I've to return to the last one.
Anyone know how to solve?
Thank you
Moshe
Me too!!
Andy
Don't worry. Took me a couple of hours to get it right.
This is what I recall I did to get it working.
After getting stuck on the coloured screen (bootloader) and then finding that every time I rebooted the phone just went direct to the colour screen (bootloader) and would not even boot up for me to active sync, I took some advice from somewhere on this forum as follows
1. Reboot PC, make as many programs as possible are closed down on the PC to close off any open ports.
2. Take out battery of d810 for 30 seconds and then put back.
3. Turn on the phone by simultaneously pressing the on/camera and using a pin in the reset hole for 5 seconds. (Not sure if this actually did anything different from just turning the phone on)
4. Connect the usb cable to the phone.
5. No need for Active Sync to fire up.
6. Execute Firmware.
I recall first executing the official Hutchison 3 WM5 firmware and then
just normally executing the ANZ WM6 one without repeating 1-3 above
I was on MUNS 2.01 WM6 Firmware before trying all of this.
I did muck around with CID unlocker software and a new version of Hard SPL and un-hard SPL. But I am not sure if these made any difference.
Hi i am new on this forum ,i have a qtek 9090 unlocked bought on ebay
it runs windows 2003 and when i try to upgrade to wm6 ,the process starts and and it goes into USB V2.08 and pc makes a usb has been removed sound and the installer gives me a error msg
ERROR 120:COUNTRY ID: ERROR
and when i do a soft reset it comes up with a new installtion of (wm2003 which i hate)
this is getting to my head as i need to upgrade my PDA
can anyone help me
send me some links with the correct software and stuff please
you need to put the device in bootloader mode before connecting it to the pc by pressing reset+power+record and use the MAupgradeut_noID instead of the BAupgradeut to upgrade your device. if you don't have the MAupgrade tool present, you can download it from this post of mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3768875&postcount=3
by doing these 2 points, you can avoid all error 101, 110 and 120
windows 6 for qtek 9090
does anyone have links to the new wm6 for qtek 9090
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482997
No service
upgrade done and the phone worked for about 3 days now is says no service and wont pick a network
first make sure you didn't soft-reset the device the wrong way, meaning restarting the device by releasing the battery lock, because restarting it like that generally starts the device w/o radio, meaning no phone function. to avoid that, simply soft reset again by pressing the actual hardware reset pin.
in second thought, you might wanna post the values shown in the boot screen, maybe another radio rom might do the trick.
if neither of that worked, maybe you should try another sim card or a different location for testing network coverage just to figure out, if it might have something to do with a network failure.
if still however nothing worked, which i wouldn't hope, it still could be a bug with the particular rom and you might try another rom.
and at last, if that didn't help, you might have a broken radio receiver and as a harware fault would require you to repair or replace the device, but that is rather unlikely, so you are probably lucky and can fix it yourself.
please post back if and when you figured out, what the problem was, so we can all profit and learn off it.
with best regards,
