Hi,
I just started with the ROM upgrade of my I-mate Pocket PC to 1.72.00wwe (obtained from the I-mate website) when my phone switched off. Now it only has (at the top) "Serial" and (at the bottom) "v1.06". No matter what I do - soft or hard reset nothing happens, obviously the power button also doesn't function. On my PC desktop I got the message that I need to reset my phone and re-connect.... can't get my phone going, so here I am.
The solution to my problem is (hopefully) simple ? I will really appreciate if you could help me with this ?
not a problem hopefully....u just made HimaClearJumpCode.exe run on ur device(this file exists in ur upgrade folder),and now ur stuck in the bootloader mode....
do the following:
1-hard reset ur device(it wont boot,off course)...
2-put it in the cradle,u should see that ur XP has found a new hardware(if it doesn't,change the USB port)
3-now run the himaupgradeUt.exe.
Now in case(just in case),those procedures didn't work,go to plan B.. :wink:
1-take the battery off ur Himalaya.
2-leave ur device for 12hours(it won't need all that time,but to be on the safe side,u know... :wink: ) without battery,so that backup battery drains...
3-put back the battery,recharge and enter the OS(this option wont work if u have erased the ROM)
4-rerun the upgrade...
good luck.....

Hi
OK, what happens if the ROM is erased.... (judging by the fact that nothing happens when I put it in the cradle - with power on the cradle) ?
My phone was off for about 12-hours - blank screen when I got here this morning.
If I put it in the cradle (and after changing between all the available USB ports on my PC) the PC doesn't detect it - ActiveSync doesn't connect to the phone at all... Note : I have power on the cradle, and it's been a hour now - still just "USB" "v1.06" (or "Serial" if I take it out of the cradle).
:?:
so it is connected!!!!!!!!
since ur serial on the top of ur screen changes to USB when u put it in cradle,then it's connected.... :wink:
now just run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe in the folder that contains the NK.nbf file(32MB,it's the ROM),and it should start the upgrade....
be sure the NK.nbf is a Himalaya ROM....
good luck...
RAGO :lol:
Hi,
Thanks, did it just after posting my reply and everything worked out fine. Note, I just ran the ROM upgrade file (not HimaUpgradeUT), which I got from the clubimate webste.
Thanks, once again for helping me with this one.
Himalaya pocket pc - screen frozen on bootloader
Hi,
My problem is the same - but the difference is that whenever i run the himaupgradeut i get a connection error saying that the PC cannot identify the cradle as connected.
What should I do now?

could anyone help me out of a mess please , i have recently purchased an mda3 to replace my xda2 , i unlocked the phone which went ok but wouldnt accept my o2 sim , being the same phone as the xda2s i thought maybe it would need the o2 windows version rom on , i selected the wrong rom from my pc and the upgrade stopped after a few seconds stating it was the wrong version but now the phone has no rom on at all just a dark screen with "serial" or "usb" if it is docked . Have i done permanent damage ? any help would be very much appreciated
Your phone is currently in bootloader mode - if you have a valid ROM for your device you should be able to flash it with the phone in the USB cradle (the dark screen should change to USB).
If you don't have a valid ROM, go check out the wiki, there's plenty to choose from there!
many thanks forza , as u can prob guess im new at this !
sorry to be a pain forza but unsure which files on the ftp to use , doesnt have to be the latest rom i just need it to work again , could you also tell me how to execute the files , do they load from the desktop , many thanks bren the amatuer
This page on the wiki lists the available original ROM packages;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
The T-Mobile UK one (1.42) is the latest version ROM (3rd on the list), so I'd recommend you start with that (it's the one I use).
[EDIT] just noticed you're showing as being on O2, further down the list (almost at the bottom of the first section) there's a UK O2 ROM - that may be better for you.
With the phone docked in the cradle (with USB showing on the screen), you can just the run the exe you downloaded and it should flash it for you.
thanks forza ! your a star worked a treat
qtek 9090 with USB V2.06 message error

scharmander ( newbee )
I was upgrading my XDA2, it said completed, and when i restarted it, the o2 splash screen appears with radio verson 1.17 and thats where it stays... can anyone help. I have tried reinstalling the rom.... but it cant see the pda, and aborts...
Help would be appreciated
Does your device have a bootloader mode? If so get it into, connect usb & start upgrade program. This works on a magician, maybe on yours too?
Regards, M
thank you for the advice, but it is himayalian model.....so i do not know it it has a boot loader.
Read & repair
Hi Smudge,
Take a look at this post & got it from the thread 'stuck in 02 splash screen' at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25830&highlight=himalaya bootloader 4th post.
RAGOv said:
well my friend i think somehow ur OS is lost and all u still have is the extended rom OS image,that's why u still see the splash screen...
i assume that ur device is a himalaya(though u did'nt mention any informations :wink: ),but if really is,then do the following:
1-log in to this forum as user:xda pass:xda
2-go to ftp server from the wiki page(up left ur screen)
3-go to himalaya folder and download any rom u would like 2 have(it can appear in several way,exe file or several files zipped in a .zip)
4-if it's and exe file and u have winrar,then extract the content in a folder,u will find 6 files(maybe less,rarely 1 file more-xda2nbftool.exe-),now forget about this file for the moment
u will need 2 file to fix ur phone:nk.nbf & HimauUpgradeUt.exe(i idvice u to dowload an O2 rom upgrade to prevent country id error wich can be fixed if necessary )
now that u have the tools,do the following:
1-press power button+navigation pad(the round one between the green and the red buttons)+reset b
utton SIMULTANESLY,u will enter bootloader mode(blank screen with serial on the upper side of the screen,number like 1.06 on the buttom)
2-put the cradle in usb port DIRECTLY IN UR COMPUTER NOT THROUGH USB HUB
3-put ur phone in the cradle while it's in bootloader mode,u will see that the serial word in the upper screen have changed into USB
4-run HimaUpgradeUt.exe and follow the on screen instructions,u will see a status bar,wait untill it finishes,hard reset ur phone,and here we go
i forgot to mension that u should put those 2 files(HimaUpgradeUt.exe & nk.nbf),in a separate folder,close any open task on ur desktop/laptop,and PUT UR CHARGER IN THE CRADLE for the battery don't run out...
hope i helped
tell me what happened with u dude,and remember that ur in the best PDAs developping site in the world,so don't worry,hopefully,everything can be fixed....

Did you tried hard reset it?
First, don't get panic! Well.When I tried to unlock my device and make it Super CID that message appeared in my screen too.I tried anything I was told in this fantastic forum and nothing worked.Finally I was told to reinstalled windows on my PC and...it worked!! I think it's a problem of drivers. If you are desperated try it.
Good luck and be the force with you...
may the force be with you! :lol:
but like alberbrando said, don't panic. panic would only make things worse. try re-installing your windows. Hopefully, that should resolve your problem.

thanks frz..i've hard resetted...nothing happend...
So do the other thing they told you and reset windows.
Which is worse? a few hours boredom of backups and reinstalls, or spending what. . . 1300. . £2600 on new PDA's for you and your friends?
I know which one I'D pick.
Try
Try with this upgrade Tools
-put nk.nbf file on this folder
-put your device to bootloader mode
-deactive active sync on your computer
-connect to USB
-Run upgrade tools
cheers

Right, don't panic, not being able to flash isn't such a big deal.
First, get an official update package for your QTek, and for your friends an I-Mate update package.
Next, hold the power button and the light-button (next to the volume slider), and stick the stylus in the little reset hole in the back. Hold the keys for a little longer, untill you vaguely see "Serial" or "USB" on the bottom part of the screen (put a little light on the screen, as the backlight will not be lit).
At this point make sure it's connected to your PC through the USB cable.
Right-click the MS ActiveSync icon (on your PC) and choose connection settings, make sure "Allow USB Connections" is unticked.
Next run the update utility, and everything should be fine again
If this doesn't help, ask again and state clearly that you've tried this already.

b4 attempting to flash
b4 attempting to flash,
chk if the 3 steps with mtty work,
if u don't get any error,
plz get ur battrey charged fully from a friend.
then attempt a flash by downloading a different rom from the one u r presently using
disable ur pc firewall
also disable ur anti virus [dont know if this is really required...but i read it in quite a few forums & it worked for me...]
flash only the rom
no extended rom or radio
use the MaUpgradeUt_noID
hopefully this should sort out ur problem....
i know coz i had the same problem....
frz
Another suggestion....
before making any other test, if it's possible, try on another PC, using a fresh rom (not the same used...) .... can be a PC problem, so test the procedure on another host ....
... sorry, again...
have you checked the bootloader version on the devices ? ... verify it before any other tentative ....

Ok, let me see if i understand u correctly, your specs give me no new questions they look ok. U have WM5 and want to run a program (from your work) which needs WM6 (wont run on WM5). HTC told you about the official WM6 update. This wont flash as activesync crashes, right?
With an official Rom you will not need to unlock the CID/SPL with USPL. But this goes only when you stick to your current language. i.e. a german WM5 is not allowed to be flashed into english. To do this you will need to USPL-unlock it 1st.
If the language is the same, it should work. Best is to do a hard reset 1st (2 soft buttons and soft reset, wait and press green/send.) Afterwards hook it on the PC (activesync want to start a newe partnership, click cancel, so u will be connected as guest).
Start the rom upgrade. Activesync should close and bootloader on the ppc will be started. This is a screen with many colours/stripes, which is normal but looks very bad and different from normal bootup.
Then the flashing will start, the screen on the ppc will turn white/grey and a scale will show you the percentage of the flashingprocess (similar to the screen of the pc). Wait patentiently and do not toch the ppc or disconnect (or expect a bricked device).
At the end, the ppc will reboot and take a while (longer then normal bootup) to initiate the boot for the 1st time.
If this wont work, then try to extract the upload file, put the ppc in boatloader mode, connect to pc and start the romupdateutility.exe directly.
Good Luck!
hi,
i've flashed my HTC P3300 and it was done successfully (using USPL) but the language was Spanish, i searched a lot how to change it to english since i dont understand a word of it.
through one of the forums, i was told to set the SysLang = 1032 in registry to get the english language, i done so, now, the phone is stuck in Welcome (WM6.1) screen and nothing is happening, not even responding to power key.
I tried hard reset, it doesn't work, i tried entering to bootloader, it also doesn't work, also, i am not able to connect it to PC since i guess its not completed up.
Just got stuck with a brick, can you help please. Really needed!!!!!!
Thanks
Maybe flashing ROM from memory card may help. Search Artemis wiki for micro card ROM flashing.
Hello, I guess I'm having the same problem...tried to flash but something went wong and now I have my htc p3300 blocked with the multicolor screen. It does not work, so I don't understand how I could start flashing rom by memory card. Could you be a little bit more detailed? Thanks in advance
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
