Universal Dead flashing

Hi, a friend have 2 pda universal from vodafone that he has flashed and killed. I don´t know what happend. pda always shows USB and v1.00. After a lots o rom updates still dead, i have JAFWM, but with or without this machine is dead.
any rom especial version?
any soft?
thanks.

1. Try to restart the device in bootloader mode(Light key, power and reset pressed together)
2. Look at the display (should say Serial and version at the bottom)
3. Disable the USB connection in Active Sync otherwise the update will crash.
4. Plug in USB Cable (Screen Should now show USB at the top)
5. Start original Upgrade from your provider or take the upgrade you want to use with the MA_UpGrade_noid.exe.
6. After Flashing restart device with both soft keys at the bottom of the screen ( Buttons with - on it) pressed.
7. When asked type 0 to erase all data.
9. Device should start normally, if it doesn't do not hesitate to ask.

device always start in bootloader mode, i flash all times without problems, but when i restart device, automatically puts on bootloader mode.
after flash, make factory settings but,after this, restart in same mode.
always, when i run update program soft MaUpgradeUt_noID, detects no rom in pocket loaded.
strange problem on 2 pda´s ?
thanks

That shouldn't be a problem. Just continue to flash the rom. There could be a problem with your bootloader and the upgrade version (AKU2) you want to use.

Maybe it's a problem with bootloader.
Try it, maybe it will help you.

i think same as you, only problem with ROM image, but i have flashed many roms but I can´t revive device. So i ask name of Rom tht can revive pda.
Br.
PD. how i can flash the archive attached?

The rar file mentioned above is only the bootloader you already got on your device.
In your case i would use an old AKU1 rom and to see if it works.

hi guys
i have same problem. show only boot loader mode. how to use this boot loader file. wich AKU1 file is working. my phone is MDA PRO from germany T-mobile, i wan't to update ro to English. after flashing many times, many rom no result. help me

Hello Siemens Man
Which Bootloader do you have ?
It would be great if you could make an backup of your bootloader then, that i could downgrade my phone and try to unlock it.(If do not know how to make an backup, thats no problem, because i can show you how to do it)

hi man
i have in boot loader mode. show me usb v1.00 only. i don't have buck up for my phone. please tell me solution how repair my phone.
thanks a lot

Did you try to update your phone to the latest orange rom for testing yet ?
If not try it out (I know it is said to be slow, but only if all orange customizations are installed) If it runs then its ok.
Otherwise try to use the exitbl.exe mentioned somewhere in this forum, hopefully it works.

connect to mtty and issue set 14 0 and then restart the device or use exitbl utility by buzz

HOW TO USE AN ENGLISH ROM to switch the SGH-i718 from Chinese into English

Hi there,
In another post I asked for a method of converting my strictly Chinese SGH-i718 into English. Now, I know that an English version exists, as you can buy an identical phone in English (i think that is the SGH-i710).
Someone posted a link to a file to purports to be an English ROM for the phone, and I have now downloaded it.
Links are http://rapidshare.com/files/45439904/Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.rar.html
and
http://rapidshare.com/files/45950071/Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_Phone_Eng.rar.html
How on earth do I use the ROM without totally bricking my phone?
The file is named;
Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.rar
When I extract it, I have an EXE file named;
i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng
which is described as "UnifiedMultiDownloader MFC 응용 프로그램"
When I open it, it has a screen that says "no phone detected" or something like that, and then it closes and the Microsoft Windows Data Execution Protection pops up and says it closed it to protect my computer.
1) Would you trust this file?
2) If yes, how does it work?
Thanks guys 'n' gals

May I ask where you get these files from?

As listed in the links in my post. They are not mine. The links were provided through another thread on a similar issue.

IT WORKS!
FYI: I used the PDA rom, the first one, and it works! It works incredibly well in fact. After use, when I switched the phone on, it started up in English and prompted me to set the phone up as if it was the first time it had ever been turned on. I will post the full instructions tomorrow (4:30am here and I can't be bothered right now)

It's Done!! Here's How
Well, here's the deal. The forums only work if people help each other. If I were to find out how to do it and not tell you, it would defeat the purpose of having forums and being able to help each other in the first place.
So anyway, I ended up finding a forum with a bunch of awesome Chinese people who helped me to flash it. I already had the file from another forum, and the fact that this guy posted the exact same files, then gave me a step-by-step, made me confident that this flash would actually work.
I have now successfully used the process below to flash the PDA part of my i718. I HAVE NOT FLASHED THE PHONE (RADIO) PART YET BECAUSE MY ORIGINAL PHONE ROM IS STILL WORKING AFTER THE FLASH OF THE PDA ROM.
Here is the process below with no spelling mistakes corrected...
Samsung i718 PPC Phone flash ROM procedure + WM6 English ROM
(A) CABLES
Two Cables are needed for i718 to flash rom.
Cable 1 = USB Cable accompany with your PPC Phone for ActiveSync for the flash of ROM.
Cable 2 = Special USB Phone Flash Cable for the flash of Phone Function ... it seems to be the Radio ROM. It is competible with Samsung normal phone model D828.
USB Phone Flash Cable Info from Taobao site:
Phone Flash Cable 1
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-0db2-bd590543d74abee85f6e49e9376b2cca.jhtml
Phone Flash Cable 2:
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-0db1-c02f02c2861d77ee6cdc7109e5648732.jhtml
(B) FLASH ROM (PDA FUNCTION)
1. Charge PPC Phone to full power.
2. PC with ActiveSync V4.5 installed.
3. Inside the ActiveSync connection settings, <UNCHECK> Allow USB connections and <CHECK> Allow connections to one of the following: COM? (The port number is your USB will be connected). (trial and error until you get a successful Activesync connection)
4. POWER OFF your PPC Phone and connect it with the USB cable to the PC. (Use cable 1)
5. Run the downloaded WM6 ROM <i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.exe>; and choose Detect in POP-UP screen when the program started.
6. Check your PPC Phone is firm connected with PC and POWER ON your phone now.
7. The original ROM program will auto flash the new ROM into the PPC Phone.
8. Just pay attention to the screen of the PPC Phone and follow and instructions pop-up to finish the whole upgrade.
9. After completion, you can check your ROM version inside the PPC Phone, and it will be the new <Version i718ZMGF4>.
(C) FLASH RADIO ROM (PHONE FUNCTION)
1. Install the phone flash driver which is inside the CD that is accompanied with the Cable 2 .
2. POWER OFF your PPC Phone and connect it with the USB cable to the PC. (Use cable 2)
3. Run the bootloader flash program <Qingdao_downloader_v04.exe> inside the folder of <i718ZMGF4_PhoneRom>.
4. In the program screen of <Files to Download>:
1st Boot Loader: Click BIN... choose boot.bin file.
2nd Main Binary: Click BIN... choose i718ZMGF4.cla file.
3rd BP Engine: Click BIN... choose bpexec.bin file.
5. Check your PC's COM number connect with this cable and set the COM Port speed according this cable.
6. Then inside this program choose the Serial Port: COM? (same as your PC's COM Port number).
7. Click the <START> button and it will start to check your Phone ID (if it cannot find the ID, your can disconnect the cable and insert it again to try OR power on the phone to help this Phone ID checking).
8. When Phone ID checking is sucessed, Click the <ALL DOWNLOAD> button to start to flash.
9. After flash is completed, reset the PPC Phone by input *2767*3855# to process.
CAUTION in RADIO ROM FLASHING:
When flashing the Radio ROM/Phone Function or after flash, it will show <Phone Error, Run Later> or similar words. It is normal because the PPC Phone is under phone function flashing procedure and cannot be used. After all upgrade is finished, you just power off the PPC Phone and turn it on again to make it back to normal to fully finish the upgrade procedure.
.....................
So there is it everyone. I hope this helps you to flash your Chinese version Samsung SGH-i718 and enjoy it as much as I am currently.

I'm pretty sure that the i710 and i718 are identical. I think the i710 was designed for sale in western countries, whereas the i718 is specifically branded for Chinese markets.
I think the firmware would be similar, just in other languages.
Give this conversion method a try!

the rom is ok for i710
pda part use usb cable
phone part use serial cable (i used also one prolific based cable)

how can i use this ROM with vista ( non compatible with active sync)

Hi ,I´m very curious about this upgrade : how stable is tis rom ? what changes in fact ? thanks for any answers.

Don't panic! To get gprs working you must flash both pda and phone parts of firmware. Read first post to learn how to do this. To get back wm5 you need to serach something like I710XEGF2 (xe means russian variant, which is yours i don't know) in google. If you still need WM6, but have no possibility to flash phone part (have no cable etc..) you need to find an official samsung update for I710 (not I718) - something like I710UXEGG1 (U means WM6, XE means russian again).

brother i need my perivious wm5 rom. i cannt live without gprs on my phone.pls give me any link for my i710 original firmware.
i also want to tell u that i had made a backup by using sprite backup,can it restore my perivious wm5 firmware.plsss guide me

Or how can i make my new cable

Hello everyone, I found this thread from google search, I have a China version of SGH-i718+ , This phone was given by my dad, I can barely read any chinese, so I wish could convert this to english version, I believe it runs WM6 Chinese.
Does this rom works for this phone? or is there a newer rom?
and where can I purchase the cables , thanks for the help guys.

this works, just a little change to the instructions to get the PDA part flashing..
- disable active sync usb connection
- disable com port connection
run the flashing program,
select detect & start downloading immediately
plug in your phone and hold the power button until the blue bar starts moving..

Need Help - iPaq 2495B & WM6

hi guyz need your help who ever was succesfull upgrading 2495B from WM5 to WM6. I searched and tried all methods that was posted in here. but no luck. I also tried this method :-
" worked for me. 2490 device was shipped w/wm5 1.02h
Please Note: As of 10/8/07 there are 2 confirmed working roms for hx2*** series ipaqs. So far the pdaviet version is more stable, less activesync issues, preinstalled software ie: psshutxp and much more. (could use more feedback from others on this)
As promised: Here are the steps
-take out any cf/sd cards you might have installed. grab your cradle AND ac power cord (no AC cord = no flashing for you)
-put device into normal boot loadermode and downgrade to 1.0h w/files from hp website.
-format the p.s. (fyi everyone misses you have to HOLD DOWN the keys for p.s. format for like 4 or 5 seconds and THEN it will activate) After p.s. format wm5 will start.
(!! Start below this line if you are performing a wm6-4pda to wm6-pdaviet upgrade or vise versa !!)
-put device into WHITE bootloader mode and again run the 1.0h rom setup. When you arrive at the screen that asks "update" or "cancel",
1. rename the wm5.xxx.nbf to wm5.xxx.nbf.old
2. rename the new wm6.xx.nbf from the 4pda.rar/pdaviet file to whatever your wm5-wm5.xxxx.nbf was called (before you added the .old to it)
-NOW hit update. You shouldnt get any errors.
-After update wm6 wont start properly until you again format the p.s. (remember to hold down those keys to start) once this is done
-you should be golden.. with a working copy of wm6 on your wm5 deivce.
"
I have 1.02h in my pda, But i can not downgrade to 1.0h I am getting msg that " Image Low Version " Please help me upgrade to WM6

Upgrading HX2110 to WM6

Okay, I've finally got WM6 on my HX2110. For any other people having the same problems I did, here is exactly what I did. What the guides I've found don't tell you is where to find it, and what to do when you get it. Basically you need to trick the iPaq into thinking it's getting the original 1.00.00.l firmware and then switch firmwares. You need to downgrade to the original H firmware before the iPaq will accept wm6. This worked perfectly for me after two days of trial and error. More detailed steps are below, but basically its: flash with 100l, reset, run 100l and swap firmware with 100h, flash, run 100l and swap with wm6, flash
Prerequisites:
Advanced_pack_for_hx2xxx_to_WM6
iPaq HX2110
USB connection to computer
1) Hard reset iPaq. Do this by holding the calendar button and itask button (curved arrow), and then put your stylus into the reset hole on the bottom of the iPaq. This will hard reset it.
2) After doing that, put it in to bootloader mode. You do this by holding the contact button (to the right of the calendar) and the itask arrow, and then clicking the reset button on the bottom. It should now be in bootloader mode. unplug the power/usb cable and plug it back in. hit the calendar button. it should now say USB.
3) run hpRUU.exe under the Wm5.0 for hx2000_1.00.00.L_ENG folder. It's found in provishki. it will flash your ipaq to 1.00.00.l . let it flash all the way.
4) hard reset the ipaq and put it in bootloader mode. see steps 1 and 2. make sure it says USB.
5) do step 3 again, but this time don't click upgrade. rename the E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf file to 100l.nbf
6) go into the SP32408_1.00.00.H_ENG folder and get the NBF file from there. copy it into the 1.00.00.L folder that we were just in. rename is to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf. click upgrade. let the upgrade finish.
7) repeat steps 1 and 2.
8) delete the E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf file that you just copied over and rename the 100l.nbf file to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf.
9) run hpruu.exe again. DO NOT CLICK UPGRADE.
10) get the wm6_wwe.nbf file and copy it into the directory we were just in. rename E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf to 100l.old and wm6_wwe.nbf to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf
11) click upgrade. let it finish.
12) repeat step 1
you should now have Windows Mobile 6 on your iPaq. Good luck

I've been finding things that said I need to downgrade my firmware to 1.00.00.h after doing the 1.00.00.l version. I can't find L for the life of me. All I need is for someone to show me where I can get it. The only sites that bring anything up about that are russian.

i might find the problem, i think i started with wm2003. do i need any prerequities to upgrade from WM2003 to wm6??
and what to do when I already bricked my hx2110?

something it's not clear for me... When we run hpruu and 100% of instalation it's complete the devive restart it self. Do we have to wait there? wen do we have to do the hard reset?

I did it!
my advices are
1)start installing from windows mobile 2003
2) do not restart the pocket pc before the windows log-in screen appears!
Good luck!
Thanks!
sorry for my english

So many thanks for your tips.
I have some friends who couldn't flash by ordinary steps, I hope your guides will solve their problem on upgrading to my Thai Customized WM6.1.

Hi!
I'm having some problems with my Hx2110...
When flashing my working ipaq (Step 6), my computer halt.
So, i run HPRUU to reflash again, with no luck (because of "incorrect device SKU). Of course, model ID returned of my bricked IPAQ is "¨¨¨¨¨¨¨"...
But i have another chance, i try universal bootloader and USB telnet, (USB> prompt never come. (Pre-Bl screen and USB on ipaq screen are ok.)
I've tried every solution in this forum, and on internet.. (well, there's a hpruu.exe patched to ignore lang/model, but is for 6xxx series only )
What happen if i put a working 2110 on cradle, when hpruu comes with UPDATE screen, disconnect usb, and connect my non-working ipaq?...this will work?. I can try this on monday.
Thanks!

2) After doing that, put it in to bootloader mode. You do this by holding the contact button (to the right of the calendar) and the itask arrow, and then clicking the reset button on the bottom. It should now be in bootloader mode. unplug the power/usb cable and plug it back in. hit the calendar button. it should now say USB.
I just have to ask this:
What we should do before Unpluging powe/usb cable and plug it back in ???
Does it means that after putting it in bootloader mode i must put it on a cradle, then unplug power/usb cable and then again plug in it and press the calendar button ??? Or else ?
Greets, Janeku

Was able to track this down from the asusmobile.ru site. It´s auto translated from Google but the setBL does the trick apparently. NO GUARANTEES IT WILL WORK, USE AT OWN RISK!
At the Asus site
http://support.asus.com/download/download_item.aspx?product=12&model=P527&SLanguage=en-us
you can find the WWE rom. In first instance, the update on another language was refused. SetBL.exe copied to the device that launched it, the phone ask to connect the sync cable, then choose "Advanced" mode to begin flashing firmware. That's all.
Perhaps you can ask some Russian developers over here like GreatVK or Sorg to confirm this.
PS. I´m thinking about buying this phone too. Can you comment on the use of it?

It's very useful with the keyboard, you can type text message quickly as a Nokia phone. But I really don't like chip Ti-Omap (run slowly). Battery and screen display are very good.

Last year I've used a HTC Wizard with the same processor and it was ok, but no speed monster though. The addition of GPS and FM and the formfactor makes the switch worth it.
But, since the phone is not sold over here I have to import one from Italy, which ships with an Italian rom.
Let me know if it works, my Italian is not so good

3. Check the info of the ROM on your device (under settings menù)
you need the following info:
current ROM region code (WWE, RUS, THA, etc)
Extended ROM region code (WWE, RUS, THA, etc)
4. Extract the content of the file you downloaded from ASUS web site to any folder.
5. Edit the file P527.ini file and write there the info you collected at point (3)
in first line you have to write
the current ROM region code of the device (WWE, RUS, THA, etc)
in second line write the name of the Extended ROM region code if the device (WWE, RUS, THA, etc).
7. Run P527FUU.exe and follow the instructions screen.

I saw only like this " 4.12.070815.000S.TMC " in my settiing. So I don't know what word to change the P527.ini in both row. Anyone please help me about this problem.
P.S. Can anyone send the link to download the Thailand ROM to me? I'm Thai. I can't see the Thailand ROM in ASUA Thailand. I call to check with the ASUS Thai staff, they said they will not allow the different country device to upgrade to Thailand device even I ask to give the payment.

ROM WM6.1 for Asus P527 THA - Build 19214:
http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=156434&PN=1&TPN=1
and WM6 - V4.1.23: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/P527/V4123_WWE_THA_EXT_V106.zip

plzzz help me....
I downloaded official Firmware upgrade for my Asus P527 from Asus.com. But wen i start for the update it says "the extended ROM version of the device does not match" Extended ROM version is: V1.0.0 NA. The update procedure is also showing the same V1.0.0 NA and my phone too... plz help how can i upgrade??? And one thing more this firmware update is windows update basically?? i mean it will go to Windows Mobile 6.1??
thanx in advance

Extract any official ROM with WinRAR
Hold down, Push and Press left OK button then clic reset. View on display "IPL: Insert USB Cable"
On PC run P527FUU.exe click on top left cornel and choise "Expert mode"
Plug USB Cable then click "Update"
sorry for my bad English

After a bad flash (power cut) device is showing:
GSMFFS at 0x13000000
GSMFFS doesn't exist
Spin Forever
Use (Format All) instead
Is there a way to "force" format a rom from windows CMD?
If not what rom tool would i need?
Thanx in advance

Thanks.

Hi, I've found the way to up rom for asus P527, it's the same with P526.
1. Download Official ROM for you are interested in from ASUS web site
2. Backup your device
3. Check the info of the ROM on your device (under settings menù)
you need the following info:
current ROM region code (WWE, RUS, THA, etc)
Extended ROM region code (WWE, RUS, THA, etc)
4. Extract the content of the file you downloaded from ASUS web site to any folder.
5. Edit the file P527.ini file and write there the info you collected at point (3)
in first line you have to write
the current ROM region code of the device (WWE, RUS, THA, etc)
in second line write the name of the Extended ROM region code if the device (WWE, RUS, THA, etc).
7. Run P527FUU.exe and follow the instructions screen.

Thanks hdubli, But I have already tried that it's getting stuck in format stage. Do you have any way of skipping formatting or some other way of formatting(may be in terminal mode, I am not able to goto terminal mode in asus p527 though).
GSMFSS at 0x13000000
GSM Doesn't exist
Spin Forever
Use (format All) instead. --gets stuck after this
Is any body having copy of GSMFSS.NB0 which I can flash

I found another mode in p527 by accident. If you press OK (next to volume control) camera and reset with lock keypad it goes into sd card mode with start sd init mode. Can I use this to recover my bricked phone?

Was able to track this down from the asusmobile.ru site. It´s auto translated from Google but the setBL does the trick apparently. NO GUARANTEES IT WILL WORK, USE AT OWN RISK!
At the Asus site
http://support.asus.com/download/download_item.aspx?product=12&model=P527&SLanguage=en-us
you can find the WWE rom. In first instance, the update on another language was refused. SetBL.exe copied to the device that launched it, the phone ask to connect the sync cable, then choose "Advanced" mode to begin flashing firmware. That's all.
Perhaps you can ask some Russian developers over here like GreatVK or Sorg to confirm this.
PS. I´m thinking about buying this phone too. Can you comment on the use of it?

plz help me..when i'm updating rom , USB cable disable due to my fault. when i'm power on my phone but it's too no more work..i can't power on and reset my phone, be ruined or not? ..plz drop me a little advice

Ok, this may not work for everyone but it worked for me. I CAN NOT take credit for any of the work. I can how ever offer a very sincere thank you to developers who have brought 6.5 to the P527.
Download SCHIST 21864 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506417
use the P527FUU that is included and check both OS and GSM.
set the OS path to ????/SCHIST_21864_clean\flash.dio.nb0
set the GSM path to ????/SCHIST_21864\EXT GSM(IND)\GSM.dio.nb0
now you need your phone screen to show the IPL: USB Cable message.
turn key lock on, press in on the scroll wheel (left side of phone), press and release the soft reset button with stylus, release the scroll wheel and press the left OK button. it may take a times to get it right but you should get the IPL: screen up. (I actually have to release the scroll wheel then move it down, release and then press the OK button)
insert the usb cable, click the ???? button in P527FUU this should "fix" you.
after it's complete even if phone hangs at the blue Asus screen you can download the correct Asus flash and use the installed included from Asus in advanced mode to restore your phone to WM 6.1 for your area.
if this helps anyone let me know.
