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 ...
well after trying the 10th time to upgrade/downgrade - I need your assistance. For the Blueangel the upgrade procedure advises in order to come to the first selection menu in WM5: "If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66 * Quickly press Record+Windows Media before the versions appears at bottom right * OR, press Power+Softreset+Windows Media Player button+Record at the same time."
If I do so I always end up in the bootloader mode again, no way to get into: "You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes"" - just bootloader.
Are there other button combinations for the XDAIII - Blueangel?
thanks

(sry, for my bad english)
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!

It´s always good to READ the Wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader_Serial
Keys dont work
Hey i just put WM6.1 on my xda exec and it works fine apart from the keys not working so i have to type using the touch screen and the WI-FI randomly turns off and on i was wondering if anyone else had these problems and if they could help.
Thanks
I just bought a o2 xda 2s on ebay.
I was wanting a pocket pc phone that i could hook up to a serial port device I use at work.
The phone works great so far but when i installed the program i use at work everytime i try to load a file it freeze's while trying to load file. I have used this program on HP pda's with not 1 issue. Just wanted to have a all in 1 handheld unit.
Currently this is what I have:
Model: ph20b Pocket PC
wm2003se
version 4.21.1088 (build 15045.2.6.0)
rom version 1.40.00 WWE
rom date 3/10/05
radio version 1.12.00
protocol version 1337.42
ext. rom version 1.40.242 WWE
What would make it freeze like it does, only with this program, and can i upgrade to wm5 (how?). Are there any other upgrades you know would make it more stable a fix the freezing issue?
This is the first pocket pc phone i have had so i have no idea as to what,where and how to start fixing.
Thanks for any help you guys may provide!!!!
For WM5 look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home my signature shows what Rom I use. I find it good. I don't what could be causing the freezing. What is the program?
Here is a link to software im using.
http://www.racetech.com/SubMenu.asp?cMenu=11&c=Yes&cSubMenu=92&showPage=da
I have read the info on ba wm5 rom and still dont know how to install. i use a pc to check email and thats it, so im a little new to this stuff.
Can someone help step-by-step me through this a little
do i need a sd card as i don't have one. to update to wm5
The phone is new and i dont' have any data on it that i need.
Thanks Guys
I have downloaded the following file on my PC Desktop.
Helmi_wm2k5_aku3.2_32mb (rar file)
I extrexcted it in its own new file and now have the following files.
1)extrom
2)AddOn
3)ph20b
4)ph20b1
5)wm2k5_aku3.2_32mb_v1.3.2
6)Helmi_aku3.2_v1.3.2.txt
what next?
Yes you would need a SD card you can get a 1gb really cheap on ebay and then you can store programs etc on it.
Well I must confess I haven't done it I bought mine of ebay with WM5 on it already. The fellow I bought mine off will upgrade other units for $150 AUS I think. If you aren't in Aus he still would proberly do it.
i got wm5 in an exe file from www.buzzdev.net i think and all i had to do was put my xda 2s in boot loader mode stick it in its cradle and run the file easy peasy
you DO - NOT need an SD card (i did it , i dont have one)
here is the guide to install
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi
i DID NOT DO THE OPTIONAL INTERNAL MEMORY BIT
Copy the nk.nbf file to folder that match ur device (PH20B/PH20B1)
* Determine your operator Information e.g.: "T-MOB101", or "Vodafone", or O2. See GetDeviceData.
* Open a command prompt, (open "run", type cmd , press enter), go to the folder where the ROM(nk.nbf) file resides (mine is c C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\pda\oprade\Helmi\PH20B - notice the c is the command) and execute: SetOperator ??? (where ??? is your operator , mine was SetOperator ORANG001)
# Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button
# Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle.
# Now you can upgrade the ROM using BaUpgradeUt.exe(i used this one) / MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
#
When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset
1.
Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button. Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen.
*
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, EITHER:
o Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
o OR press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
*
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66:
o Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right EITHER
o OR press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
2.
You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
* If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, use "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
* If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66, use "Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.
3. Press the "Mail" button. A white screen will show for a while, while it is clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
4. When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...
once done copy what you need (i installed all the fixes etc) from the extrom folder to your ppc and run them to install them (once done delete the cabs)
*note doing this way you will need to setup your gprs and mms settings for your network*
Ok I'm going crazy. Where in the heck do I find setoperator.bat??
Thanks
I recently upgraded my ROM to Schap's version 4.0 and everything well until I deceded go to version 4.01, the upgrade failed and I am now left with a dead device. All I get on the screen is the HTC logo and a series of numbers as folows:
M 05 R 1.06.00.00
S 04 G 32.37.7010.01H
B 06 D 3.62
If I connect the USB cable to my device, I get to no response, I have tied reflashing but the device is not found. HELP! SOMEBODY, ANYBODY HELP!!
If you are "Hard SPL" (like Olipro 2.10), you must reflash with a complete ROM.
Then you can flash with Schap's 4.01 ROM.
I have had this problem when I flash my Radio ROM.
And I have flash with an original complete ROM, then with Schp's ROM
Is my SPV M3100 Dead? - No, Alive again
I have solved this problem, thanks for all your efforts. GREAT FORUM!
Here is how I fixed the deads device.
1. Hold down the external "OK" and "POWER" buttons at the same time and do a reset. -- that brings you to the three colour screen, I believe it called the bootloader screen.
2. Insert my USB cable and run the orange ROM Update which I previously downloaded from their website.
I still would like to Upgrade to Schap's ver. 4.01, but not very confident now.
when any HTC TyTN is dead
If you whant back any version of HTC TyTN alive only you have any nbh file like RUU_signed.nbh from any budy you put this file in root of your SD card rename to HERMIMG.nbh (don't forghet - HERMIMG.nbh - HERM from codename HERMs, IMG from IMaGe) and you start the bootloader by pressing power button, OK button and whith your stylus in the hole the HERM start in bootloader and schearch for the file HERMIMG and then press the power button your HERMs after unpload the rom is back alive again.
I don't use any other process to upload rom to may SPV M3100 oly this.
sorry by bad english

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is what I use, it's more reliable and also quicker.
Make sure you have flashed with HardSPL before flashing again!
Thanks to all, for your advise, I have now installed Schap's version 4.01.
first I run Hard-SPL V7 then Schap's ROM Update 4.01.
Works like a dream.
Special thanks to Schap; great stuff.
Mr churchillp i love yoy, because of you i got the life of my spv M3100 and my life as well my mobile was dead but with your guidance i did it love you and respect you, you are my master
