Hello there people.
I installed WM5 on my MDA III, had a go, got bored and wanted to revert back to 2003SE.
But I got stuck coz Baupgrate.exe didn't like Activesync V4.0 4343.
And then I found a way that worked.
Close Activesync (from the task manager)
Hard reset the PDA (Off button + record + needle button)
once in that mode you should only see " Serial V2.05"
Put the phone in the cradle, hook it to your PC and run " Baupgrate.EXE"
It worked, I loaded Orange roms, T-mobile, ger, ita till i got bored again.
It completely over looks the DeviceData. But to be super safe use the Mupdate_noID.exe from this website.
Let me know.
P.S. I don't like AS4 But allows me to Explore the phone from windows now. Dunno, maybe is the new Rom or AS4.
Anyway keep up the good work.

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 ...
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.....
RAGO :lol:
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?
Hello friends,
I am not new but this is my first thread.
I have just bought a sim-free O2 Orbit from germany and it is working fine.
How can I turn the OS language into english? and I also get a failure connection to the internet since I arrived home in australia. it is 0x8007278.
Please the experts any advice is appreciated. thanks for sharing the science.
I was in the exact situation as you, this is how you change your ROM to English.
Get this program called USPL, it was created by a member of this bard called Bepe. Look on the first post for the program AND the instructions...read them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
What this program does is it unlocks the phones carrier lock so that it will take a ROM that is not OEM.
Once you have this, look for the ROM you want to run, I can personally recommend Bepes WM6 or WM6 Black and Blue v3.
Bepes rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309702
PDA Viet WM6 ROM (super freaking cool, way better than I thought it would be)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314568
Once you have these two things, put them all on the desktop for easy access, then run the USPL according to the instructions. You MUST have Active Sync installed, running and sync'd with your phone (plus its a great idea t have all your contacts backed up with Outlook). Once the USPL program has completed its process and the phone has restarted, you can then load any ROM you want. Simply plug in your phone via USB to your computer, then run the Rom Upgrade Utility that installs on your desktop when you download the ROM. It will show a progress bar, once you make it past 3 or 4 percent you know you are in the clear and the ROM will load right.
I cannot stress enough the importance of running USPL, if you dont you run an almost guaranteed risk of turning your phone into a cool looking paper weight.
If you follow these instructions, read a little in the Upgrading and the WM6 sections of this board, you will have an English phone in your hands by the time you go to bed tonight. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you need and help.
Oh and PS - For the data, once you have changed you ROM to English, you need to either find the settings or the CAB file for your data connection. Most of the time these can be found on your service provenders site, if not, run a search of this bard, almost anything you need - world wide - is on here somewhere.
THANK YOU Itschcase. your responce was brilliantly quick.
I was trying since yesterday. read most of the eplanatory threads. tried not to bother you again. but I am stuck at the USPL. after fist step the screen goes black or grey and the activeSync disconnects and it remains like that. if I continue the process nothing happened if I soft reset then continue I get error 270 "image file corrupted" and the pda reboots automatically and goes back to its state. tried 10 times. reinstalled my xp after formatting the computer. tried on my other computer vista . still no change.
any ideas please

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
my phone run wm6.1, i downloaded dt39-UltimateROM-v3-MutliLangKB from this forum
- start Mirage_LV_1.8, click PDA button and select dt39-UltimateROM-v3-MutliLangKB
- click detect button. switch off phone to Emergency Mode, and it start flashing...
- after all, the label changed from green to blue,device reset and cannot boot to win, it halt at Samsung boot screen for long time
- i take battery out, and insert back, start again but still this problem
i try to another rom but it still this problem
was I wrong?
after flashing new rom always do hard reset. If any problem - do hard reset...
what if install harmful cab on i780 orange which lack key combinitions for Hard reset
I post here even it is to late because I had a problem of a spanish i780 that did not respond to key combintions of hard reset and boot mode. the only way to HR is by using code *2767*...... I forget it lol. But, when I installed an Arabic MUI cab on it the phone can't start so I have no way to Hard reset now since I can't access to dialer no more. and I can't flash by mirage since I can't use fn+Enter on this wm6 orange tweaked rom phone.
The only Solution for me was to download this rom ziddu.com/download/8450774/i780PDXIB1_Upgrader_VISTA.rar and I used wincotroll program from 4shared and samsung xp driver (using windows 7) then I tweaked the rom installer by draging a loop icone from wincontroll (software tweak tab) to the bottom of rom installer and clicked show then an emergency box appeared ... I checked this box (no need to check charger battery or phone connected boxs) and reset the phone or rebooted it. >>>>>>>>>>>> the phone started flashing and horaaaaay I have wm6.1 now and both key combination are working now.
I was able to flash the phone again and again testing for the best rom now I have 6.5 rom that works very very fine for me
NB: I searched the inside and outside of the Web with no results so I applied this tweak as I do to my omnia i900 when facing (incorrect software essage)
I am sure this can help someone else who still have orange wm6 useless rom on his i780.
