"Serial v1.06" - i-mate Pocket PC froze

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?

please can anyone help! mda 3 failed rom update

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

For All Those Who Stuck In The Boot Screen - Try Mamaich Method !!!

Before 1 month my UNIVERSAL stuck on boot screen and like every one I'll start to test everything - including TASK 28 command to return him back but without succsess. Before 2 days some one put a thread about formating DOC and I remembered that I was try to format my DOC and after few weeks my Universal was stuck so MAMAICH wrote this:
mamaich said:
if you can enter bootloader - use "task 28 55aa", this would restore DOC to its original layout.
If you cannot - contact service center.

Click to collapse
After this .... gues what .... EVERYTHIG run back to normal again
I will repeat myself:
MAMAICH
IF SOME ONE SAY THAT YOU'RE NOT A GOD - HI LIES !!!
AFTER THIS EVERYTHING IS RUNING OK ON MY OLD UNIVERSAL!!!
Thank you very very very MUCH !!!
Thank you again !!!
Hope this work to most of you

Oh My God !!!!! My Jasjar Recovered !!!!!!!
Thanks Alot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where is this task28 55aa? cus im in the bootloader screen but i cant get anything else to work

Step by Step :
get the tools at attachment , as mamaich told, you have to use it in bootloader mode , (Power + Light Bulb + Reset)
1. Stop Activesync USB connection
2. Uni : Reboot Bootloader then Connect USB
3. PC : Run mtty1.42.exe
4. Choose USB in "Port" (Reconnect if can't find/reconglize USB and try remove sim and sd card)
5. type : task 28 55aa
6. Press Enter
7. Cause DOC reformatted, so there's no rom in DOC ,try reflash any rom that you like .
For task 28 55aa in mtty success , will show the message (attachment )
DONE .

i can only choose from COM1, COM2, and COM3, it doesnt find usb, and ive try reconnecting in

i find you must kill the wcescomm, wcesmgr and rapimgr exe's using task manager before you get the 'usb' option in mtty (kills activesync)

rite got a window come up in the progam
typed "task 28 55aa"
next line came as "USB>"
so is that it done? cus i aint seen anything else happen?

afaik, thats it
now reset back into the bootloader again and load a (whole, inc radio) ROM

stupid question here, but the update i installed earlier effed it up, so where can i get one that def works, and how do i install it on lol, im think

If you want to make sure it works i suggest getting the latest rom from your carrier (orange? - http://www1.orange.co.uk/business/download/m5000/M5000ruu.exe)
then you can upgrade (if you want to) to other, perhaps custom roms and a later radio ROM.

i got o2 rom im trying to install but it says it can only do it thru activesync, but that wont find my xda, any ideas how to bypass that?

thats because you killed activesync in the last process, start it again (from the start menu) and the upgrade should work

restarted my laptop and still activesync wont reckonise my xda, any other ideas? (its still boot loader mode, if i do a normal reset the screen just loads red and scrambled)

start the update process while in bootloader mode, you don't need activesync at all.

yeh i got the rom to install on it, went to soft restart it like it said, press 0 to conitinue, and wat a suprise a red, green and blue scrambled fuzzy screen, any ideas where to go now?

have you installed the rom yet? if not you need to reset it into bootloader mode (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Resets) and then start the rom upgrade.

yeh i reset it in bootloader mode, and i installed the new rom from the o2 website, but it didnt work, so i need a rom that either puts it back to original 02 settings or rom that at least allows me to get a workin screen up again

what was wrong with the o2 one you had?

i went to sell my phone, so i wanted to clear the data permanently, but i thought id put an update on it to add to its features aswell, but the update effed it up big style, and now i cant sell a broken phone

someone add to wiki.

How to upgrade ROm with nbh file

As newbie on this, anyone please guide me step by step to upgrade my P3300 rom with nbh file. My device is unlock already with current ROM 5.2.1908 (build 18125.0.4.2).

The procedure is given in almost every thread. It's simple really. Is your SPL version anything other than 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon? If yes then your phone is not unlocked. Unlock your phone by running USPL from here or the updated USPL from here.
Check if the USPL has worked by checking your SPL number. During phone booting at the white HTC screen your SPL should show either 1.11.0000 ir 1.11.cmon.
If it does you are free to flash any ROM. Get the ROM of your choice, put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the voice record, power key and reset button simultaenously for about 5 seconds till you see a three colored screen. Attach it with USB and flash the rom using RUU.

thanks randythered for ur reply. I did w/o problem on USPL but how to use the nbh extention? where that nbh file I shall put in? pc or devise or on specific folder? I got the three colors already, then what next? pl. enlighted

do u have only .nbh file or along with .nbh file any other files are there ?
generally along with the .nbh file there are other files like romupdateutuility.exe etc.,
download those files also and save those files into your PC.
after unlocking your device then staup the device with bootloader mode (three color screen)
connect the Device with the PC by USB cable.
in the device display u will a word USB (left bottom corner)
run the Romupdateutility from the PC...
the process will guide u next steps ...
after the completion u will have new OS
Last I would recommend tht u also upgrade you Radio ROM (this is responsible for all the communication functions of ur phone i.e. calls, GPS, WiFi etc) which will enhance the communication capabilities.
Radio ROMs Link : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._RadioUpgrades.
Note : before flashing any ROM or upgrading the RADIO kindly CID unlock your device or you will end up the with bricked device .

You can download my ROMs, they come with the full package

As sixthsigma said, did you check if the phone is correctly unlocked? Is the SPL showing 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon?
Secondly, what OS are you flashing on? XP, Vista or Windows 7?

Hi Randythered, IPL 1.25.0001 and SPL 1.27.0000
I am using your ROM RtR Manila v1.0
using XP

Well, firstly thank you for wanting to try out my ROM
Secondly, you haven't unlocked your phone properly yet. The SPL must be 1.11.0000 or1.11.cmon, depending on which USPL you use.

strange... hv tried several time but w/o luck...
now I notice that it cut out after '70' and jump into 100 with disconnecting
any choices of other USPL instead of the one attached here?

Did you flash the old USPL or the new one which is nosize? It is preferable to install the old one first. And then go for the cmon nosize USPL if need be.

From a noob to a noob
Hi, heres the procedure for upgrading your rom put as noob friendly as i can put it.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. HTC Artemis p3300
2. computer running Windows XP with activesync installed
3. Usb cable to connect to computer
4. The new rom that you want to flash
5. And USPL which can be downloaded at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
NB: For most of the newer roms you will probably need the updated nosize version of uspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406
PREPARATION
NB: Anything you need to backup or keep from your device do it now.
NB: in some cases you may have to hard reset your device before it will take the flash
1. Extract Uspl to your desktop
2. Extract the rom you downloaded to your desktop
3. Remove your sim chip and memory card from your device
4. Reset your device and sync with windows xp
UPDATING
1. In the USPL folder run the program called "start_uspl" and let it do its thing in the dos window,in
my case it goes to 70 and then jumps to 100,if you have been watching your device screen you will
see the linux penguin for a few seconds and it will change to a white screen.
A window will popup on your computer, do as it requests, when finished it will reset your device.
Sync your device with your computer again.
2. In your downloaded rom folder you should find a file called "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" or "Ruu.exe", run
it and a window will popup, do as it requests.
Your device screen will go tri-color(red,green,blue) and the rom update will begin, wait till it
finishes and thats it.

thanks soloman1 and others
finally I got it with removing the sim card and memory card prior to upgrading

Sixthsigma...you said - "unlock the device properly with USPL..." - how do I do that?
I got the same error as mentioned when trying to flash using the numb3rs ROM:
http://thewingster.com/numb3rs.aspx
I ran the herald-uspl.exe file. and ended up with teh above error. My TMo Wing has the original ROM on it and the phone itself is probably unlocked. Ive had it for a year now. Do I need to call TMo to unlock or is there some app I can run to do this myself?
appreciate any help!

nevermind, it worked ok on the second attempt!

get hermes in bootloader mode, connect USB cable and flash with this http://www.4shared.com/file/61372397/e2bf76c0/official_ATT_WM6_striped.html

Hey ,
Thnx guys 4 help
1st I tried hard resetting and it didnt work
2nd I DONT have hard spl
3rd I get into bootloader , i plug the usb cable but i cant flash , the ruuwrapper program says error during upgrade , i think it cant access the phone first coz the mobile device icon in my computer is emtpy , second activesync says not connected(although it tries to) and device manager reads an " htc usb sync " drive but no letter or something
Still no luck , any help ??

Activesync doesn't need to be runing.
download mtty and do like he said here "http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen" (copy all text between " " and paste to your browser).
After "set 14" give "task 8"

Try flashing from SD card, first the HardSpl ant then the Original Stripped ROM.

@TheMim : tried but didnt work
@eryunt : how ?? i have a custom rom with the name HERMIMG.nbh on my sd card but it doesnt upgrade it says loading for a few seconds then some red numbers and letters appear at the top of the screen then it goes into the bootloader and doesnt upgrade
NOTE THAT : i dont have hard spl (no supercid)
Thnx again , plz help

Try downloading HARDSpl7 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35136&d=1173326890
Unzip it and rename the file "RUU_signed.nbh" in "HERMIMG.nbh"; put it on SD and so you will flash the HARDSpl.
Then, make the same thing with the file "RUU_signed.nbh" extracted from an original shipped ROM.
Hope it fixes your Tytn

Many thanks for your help , i will try that tomorrow but one final question ,
How can i access my sd card with no phone ?? do i need an external sd-to-usb device or something like that ??

Yes, you need an SD-Reader for your PC

Okay , now i have a cooked rom on my sd card (fat32 formatted) named HERMIMG.nbh when i get into bootloader it says loading for a few second then a red number "00068002" appears at the top of the screen and it continues to the tri-colour bootloader
any help ??

Have You already installed HARDSpl correctly via SD-card?

No , i didnt but will it work or i will get the same red number ??
PS : my bootloader version is 1.04 so i guess i dont need hard spl as this one can flash any rom , right ??

JUST FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS ABOVE

No no no no..... HSPL cant be upgraded now via SD card cause th SSPL was unsuccesfull!!!!!.....
Get a XP PC... your batt must be 50% charged or more "better", a working USB cable
NO SD CARD inserted... your XP pc must have NET frameworks 3.5
put your device in bootloader mode.... and upgrade any stock rom to rewrite a valid SPL cause your is corrupted now
then when you get a stock rom working via SSPL you will be able to redo the steps to flash HSPL V7
