IMATE PDA2K bootloader help - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Ok this is the situation:
yesterday my phone started malfunctioning, my screen was flickering going to white then back to color, when i turned it off using the power button it dies and needs a reset to turn back on. i contacted imate and they said to reinstall the ROM i started to do so but it kinda got stuck and said there was a different language rom (even though it was what i put on it a month ago) anyway i disconnected it and now i am stuck with the bootloader screen (says serial v2.06 and when i connect it to the hub it changes to USB v2.06) i canceled the active syncs usb connection but when i tried to reinstall the rom it just gets stuck and gives me an error 201 cant get data from device, also when this happens the device gets stuck on USB even if i take it off the hub (it is supposed to change back to serial) and if i dont reset it windows says the device malfunctioned and doesnt communicate with it. Please help

Try using the usb lead direct to the usb port, sometimes the hub will make it fail.

I cant cause this imate just came with the hub and it specifically states that it has to be connected to the hub AND the hub has to be connected to the power supply
please help

it is fixable
hi my friend, i had the same problem with my t mobile mda 3. it is fixable . the problem simly is that your rom is erased and you need to get another one by upgrading it. that's all and i recommend using cradle if you have one. i upgraded mine to 1.40 i mate rom.
tell me if you need more help,
next time back up your phone beforehand

Urgent Hellp is needed

My Pda 2k device i tryed to upgrade it from 2003 SE to 2k5 after pressing update the device restarted gived me a gray screen and typed on it seril and at the buttom v2.02 now i cant open the device each time i reset or heard rest this is the only screen appears to me i cant even connect to activsync please i need your help what to do to get my device back, this error message i recived (usb device not recognized aslo active sync didnt recognize it)
i need to add a point the device is not working on the USP connection as it have a problem only serial port to connect with the pc
i'm so new here please help me
not to worry.. you can perform a hard reset of your 2k3 version "power+reset" to get you back to at least a working device.. I have been through this and have had this happen to me as well.. try entering bootloader again "power+record+reset" and dock it fairly quickly and it should change to USB on the screen and PC recognize it... also for anyone reading this.. I would highly recommend plugging your cradle into a 5v power supply as I can only imagine most of the bricked BAs are probably due to a computer freezing and/or the PC shutting down power to the USB port only for a fraction of a second and hosing the flash up.
THx Man i will try i hop this will work :lol:

Can't get USB connection to upgrade again

Hi all,
I have this particularily annoying problem that effects my ability to upgrade the rom files on my universal sometimes.
When I put my device into boot mode I don't see USB v1 or even Serial v1, what I get is Serial v2.01
Sometimes when I then connect the USB cable into the universal this changes to USB v2.01 and windows recognises the device and I can perform the rom upgrade. Most of the time however, it stays at Serial v2.01 and windows complains about 'USB Device Not Unrecognized'.
I have tried 2 different USB cables with the same outcome.
Normally after trying s few dozen times I eventually get windows to recognise the universal and perform the upgrade but I have been stuck like this for 3 days now and am getting close to my breaking point which will could shortly result in a broken universal.
Please help.
i cant quite remember the ins and outs but i have faced this problem as well
firstly ensure your connected directly to the computer and not via a hub,
try to do the upgrade if/when you get the message remove the device from the cable and do a soft reset
try the upgrade again and it should be successful this time .
i have had lots of trouble myself with this and i have found a soft reset always gets me there in the end.
goodluck !
I have just retried the upgrade and the display keep changing from USB to Serial about every 10 seconds.
I also noticed that the mouse kept freezing on the screen for a few seconds whilst this was happening. I tried using my other USB cable and the same thing was happening.
Does anyone else have v2.01 displayed on their screen like me?
Update: I stupidly ran Ivan's AKU3.2 upgrade utility whilst the universal was activesynced to my desktop (not in bootloader mode) and now this has executed the EnterBL.exe program which traps you in the booloader unless you upgrade a rom (or use mtty to issue the correct command to escape).
Unfortunately I can't excape via either of these methods as I still can't obtain a USB connection.
I have even tried a different PC but am still stuck.
Maybe both of my USB cables are knackered, so I will obtain another one and try that. If that fails it looks like Orange will be recieving a little parcel from me...
I have now also tried a 3rd USB cable with the same result.
I have a similar problem, I'm stuck in bootloader mode.
I have version 0.60 and if I put a USB in it keeps on saying serial and my computer says he doesn't recognise the device.
I've tried it on 2 different computers as on my new one apparantely all my usb ports are part of a hub. (they come up as all, inluding the ones in my moniter, being part of an usb root hub) But no succes on my other computer either.
I'm thinking that my only option is to do it via a memory card? Can anyone tell me how I'd go about that as I have no clue :shock:
Thanks!

Success!
I have been plugging in and unplugging my phone all day (with it still stuck in boot mode) and eventually it was recongised by my PC - I then upgraded the radio stack & ce rom and I am up and running again (I know that I could have used buzz's utility but I wanted to upgrade anyway).
The only thing that I did slightly differently this time was that I actually removed the battery from the univeral for a while and then plugged it back in before trying the USB connection. I did try this once of twice before without success though so can't really draw any conclusions apart from I don't know what is going on.

USB Device Not Recognised on Bootloader

I have a problem. My Exec is stuck on the bootloader screen. All I see is Serial at the top, and v1.00 at the bottom.
When I connect my exec via USB, the screen continues to say Serial (rather than switching to USB) and the PC I connect to 'installs' the device as 'unknown device' in device manager.
I've seen mention of the problem elsewhere on the site, but the only solution I can find seems to be to keep trying, and eventually it's recognised. So far, after three days of trying, it has not been recognised.
I am aware of Buzz tool to get the device out of bootloader mode, but that required a connection to be established, which at the moment, I can't do.
Has anyone got any experience of this, or any ideas as to what's causing this, or how this can be fixed? I have tried uninstalling the 'unknown device' from device manger, restarting the PC (and hard reset of the Exec) then reconnecting, but the same thing happens every time.
Any ideas would be appreciated, as I'm currently staring at a rather expensive paper weight.
Try this it shld work

This is based on my experience with two UNis..one Exec and other JASJAR..both had same problem...this is how I solved :
-Put yr device in bootloader Mode
-Disable USB in Active Sync
-Now connect woth USB cable and open mtty utility
-Select the "WESUSB... " port
-You shall see a blank white screen..press Enter to get "USB>"
-Then type ( as BUzz has informed) set 14 0
(here I wud like to inform that after doing the above I did not get success so I typed set 14 10,then set 14 9 for two three times)
-Then I ran the ROM Upgrade directly(After enbabling the USB)
-I then followed the procedure as informed on the COngratulations Screen that is hold the two "-" buttons and soft reset and then pressed 0
-I got them back to normal..
I hope this helps to all my friends...Pls feel free..pls do not trouble our Buzz..he might be busy in inventing something more to our devices

Try it with a different USB cable or in a different USB port (don't go through a hub and if you've been using a laptop then try it on a desktop PC since some laptops have hubs built into them). If that doesn't work then you're out of luck as your Universal isn't detecting that you've connected to your PC and its time to send it in for repair.
Thanks Niketkumar - unfortunately it's the step before your suggestion kicks in thats the problem - the device won't connect to the PC, so when using mtty WESUSB..... isn't an option, only COM1 and COM2.
Shuflie, I've tried with three separate USB cables on a laptop and desktop (neither through a hub, and the same device has worked fine on both laptop and desktop before).
I fear a trip to the doctors is in order ...
Very frustrating because the PC sees a device, but installs it as unknown device. Anyone know if theres a Windows CE device driver that I could try and install as an overide (i.e. in device manager on the PC go to update driver and browse to a WinCE.inf or equivalent?)
Failing this, has anyone got any clue what needs to be fixed? Or how much it might cost?
i am stuck on the same problem and wondering the forum for almost 3 days now with no luck.... please help my device is in boot loader mood but not turning the serial to USB ......... please HELP.......

Please follow the steps:
1. Plug in ur usb cable in bootloader mode while it is showing 'serial' and version 'x.xx'.
2. Soft reset by pressing Backlight+power+reset pin WHILE KEEPING THE USB CABLE CONNECTED
3. your phone will now reboot into 'usb' mode. Don't remove the usb cable yet.
4. Remove the Memory card while keeping the usb cable still connected and VOILA,your pc starts recognising your phone as Microsoft usb sync.
5. Do whatever you want to do now (upgrade)
Hope it solves the problem now.
Press thanks if it does.
Something else to try
Having had a few issues with my G3 Uni, I've been through my fare share of Uni bootloader issues. When I find that I can't get the 'serial' to go to 'USB', I normally find it's because I haven't taken the memory card or the SIM card out (usually the memory card).
Make sure your memory card is out, then try to enter the bootloader and see if this cures it. If it does, then use mtty and the command 'set 14 0'
This tells it to reboot on reset. if you were to use 'set 14 1' it would go back to the bootloader on reset.

Bricked with no USB connection

Can any one help with this?
My Diamond has developed the short battery life/over heating problem, along with the USB connection having failed.
So I put the ROM back to the standard T-Mobile one via Wi-Fi to return for warranty repair.
However, I forgot to change the SPL back, so they are refusing to sort it.
My next thought was to get HTC to repair it, but thought I'd best stick the T-Mobile SPL back for good measure.
But the update failed (tried more than once) and I'm stuck on the bootloader with "Upgrade ROM Code Error, Please Try Again" and only "Serial" showing as a connection option, no USB (yes with a cable connected to a PC).
Is there anyway at all I can get to Internal Storage to try another update?
Thank you.
hello,
i had a similar problem. after flashin a buggy rom the diamond made a reboot and hang at the initializing screen. i tried a garanty repait but htc saw the spl and denys my garanty. so i started to ask google for help.
i got the device in bootloader mode, showing "serial". but i got no active sync connection. but after any tries i got the firmware update tool into "usb" mode and was able to flash. now my diamond is still alive.
maybe you have to play a bit to get it workin..
wish you luck..!
Try with another usb cable, computer. And explane me this

How you can flash rom via wi-fi :S
I've tried 3 PCs and as many USB cables, it appears to be a hardware fault tied in with the overheating...
And sorry, I didn't explain very well regarding the Wi-Fi.
I simply used that as a file transfer method as I couldn't connect via USB. Saved the SPL as diamimg.nbh and did the Vol- + Back reset.
Understand now. Maybe usb connector is damaged by overheating or something else. I can't help you anything because diamond don't have microsd card - can't flash via microsd method

P3300 can't connect with USB

Hi guys, sorry for my bad english.

I had the same problem sometime ago. I've changed the wire first but nothing happened. My speaker, my Mic was dead and I could switch on FMRadio without the Hands-free!!!
What I did...??? I updated my mobile's Radio with 3.39.90 Version. How can you do this without active sync???
1. Remove SIM Card and Storage Card from the Mobile.
2. Press and Hold the Right Button (Recording Button) and Press together the Power Button. You will be in the Bootloader Screen. Try to update the Radio first.
3. Check it if it's working ok.
2nd way...
1. Copy the official ROM of WindowsMobile to the Storage Card.
2. Press Right Button (you know the Voice Rec) and holding that press the Power Button...
the mobile will be bootloader mode and will try to install the official ROM from the Storage Card...
wait a bit and then when it finish, check it if it is working properly!
Hope to help... waiting to "hear" sorry, to read good news
I have the same problem i cant sincronize the pda whith the activesync and i wish to change the rom. Now it's in france and i wish to change it to english, and it's locked to orange france i think. What can i make? It starts in bootloader, but the instalation from the card is not starting. thankx
le. and if i want to install something gives error 260
I had the same problem 1 month back, checked the mini usb data cable with a multimeter just to find that one of the data TX/RX wire was short with +5v wire, cable was faulty. the 1st and the last wires (+5v , -5v) were ok thats why it was charging the phone, but not connecting to pc, it was giving error unrecognised usb device.
u can also check for bent contacts at the USB mini connector on ur phone.
strange
hy guys
i´ve got a strange problem with my arte110.
for some reason i cant establish an activesync-connection,a few days ago i had some wm6.5 rom running and couldnt connect my device, then suddenly today (maybe because i reinstalled windows on my computer yesterday, i dont know) i was able to connect the phone while in bootloader... so i flashed happy and lucky the original wm (os 5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2) rom i got from t-mobile austria.
now its the same problem as before, i cant connect my device, i've restartet artemis and my computer several times, i've reinstalled activesync 4.5 a million times, i've tried all available usb-ports- different usb cables (same cable works with external harddrives) and even my office-computer, and so on...
my pda is (and was allways) charging but i cant syncronize.
has anyone any idea what could cause this problem?- please don't tell me the usb port of the pda is damaged, I wouldn't want to have to fix anything in this case...
hoping for good news, McPerfuntory
[by the way, please dont judge me for spelling mistakes, i'm from austria!!!]
done
okay guys, no need to respond anymore, i got it right..
but i don't really know how i repaired that one, i disassembled the devive cleaned everthing in there and cleaned the usb connector..
..works again
