Ok this is the situation:
yesterday my phone started malfunctioning, my screen was flickering going to white then back to color, when i turned it off using the power button it dies and needs a reset to turn back on. i contacted imate and they said to reinstall the ROM i started to do so but it kinda got stuck and said there was a different language rom (even though it was what i put on it a month ago) anyway i disconnected it and now i am stuck with the bootloader screen (says serial v2.06 and when i connect it to the hub it changes to USB v2.06) i canceled the active syncs usb connection but when i tried to reinstall the rom it just gets stuck and gives me an error 201 cant get data from device, also when this happens the device gets stuck on USB even if i take it off the hub (it is supposed to change back to serial) and if i dont reset it windows says the device malfunctioned and doesnt communicate with it. Please help
Try using the usb lead direct to the usb port, sometimes the hub will make it fail.
I cant cause this imate just came with the hub and it specifically states that it has to be connected to the hub AND the hub has to be connected to the power supply
please help
it is fixable
hi my friend, i had the same problem with my t mobile mda 3. it is fixable . the problem simly is that your rom is erased and you need to get another one by upgrading it. that's all and i recommend using cradle if you have one. i upgraded mine to 1.40 i mate rom.
tell me if you need more help,
next time back up your phone beforehand
Hi all,
I have this particularily annoying problem that effects my ability to upgrade the rom files on my universal sometimes.
When I put my device into boot mode I don't see USB v1 or even Serial v1, what I get is Serial v2.01
Sometimes when I then connect the USB cable into the universal this changes to USB v2.01 and windows recognises the device and I can perform the rom upgrade. Most of the time however, it stays at Serial v2.01 and windows complains about 'USB Device Not Unrecognized'.
I have tried 2 different USB cables with the same outcome.
Normally after trying s few dozen times I eventually get windows to recognise the universal and perform the upgrade but I have been stuck like this for 3 days now and am getting close to my breaking point which will could shortly result in a broken universal.
Please help.
i cant quite remember the ins and outs but i have faced this problem as well
firstly ensure your connected directly to the computer and not via a hub,
try to do the upgrade if/when you get the message remove the device from the cable and do a soft reset
try the upgrade again and it should be successful this time .
i have had lots of trouble myself with this and i have found a soft reset always gets me there in the end.
goodluck !
I have just retried the upgrade and the display keep changing from USB to Serial about every 10 seconds.
I also noticed that the mouse kept freezing on the screen for a few seconds whilst this was happening. I tried using my other USB cable and the same thing was happening.
Does anyone else have v2.01 displayed on their screen like me?
Update: I stupidly ran Ivan's AKU3.2 upgrade utility whilst the universal was activesynced to my desktop (not in bootloader mode) and now this has executed the EnterBL.exe program which traps you in the booloader unless you upgrade a rom (or use mtty to issue the correct command to escape).
Unfortunately I can't excape via either of these methods as I still can't obtain a USB connection.
I have even tried a different PC but am still stuck.
Maybe both of my USB cables are knackered, so I will obtain another one and try that. If that fails it looks like Orange will be recieving a little parcel from me...
I have now also tried a 3rd USB cable with the same result.
I have a similar problem, I'm stuck in bootloader mode.
I have version 0.60 and if I put a USB in it keeps on saying serial and my computer says he doesn't recognise the device.
I've tried it on 2 different computers as on my new one apparantely all my usb ports are part of a hub. (they come up as all, inluding the ones in my moniter, being part of an usb root hub) But no succes on my other computer either.
I'm thinking that my only option is to do it via a memory card? Can anyone tell me how I'd go about that as I have no clue :shock:
Thanks!
Tim
Success!
I have been plugging in and unplugging my phone all day (with it still stuck in boot mode) and eventually it was recongised by my PC - I then upgraded the radio stack & ce rom and I am up and running again (I know that I could have used buzz's utility but I wanted to upgrade anyway).
The only thing that I did slightly differently this time was that I actually removed the battery from the univeral for a while and then plugged it back in before trying the USB connection. I did try this once of twice before without success though so can't really draw any conclusions apart from I don't know what is going on.
I tried to upgrade my rom but the process crashed. The utility mtty doesn't work because when I connect the universal, boatloader mode by the cable, to the pc, it says "USB not recognized" (sometimes when I connect the computer is frozen till I disconnect the cable of the universal)
Please, I tried to have some solutions in the forum but all the posts indicates is needed previously the usb connection.
Do you know if should be possible to run the flash of the rom in other way, for example using a serial cable connected into the miniusb of the universal, because the boatloader screen says "Serie, v.1.01"
I apprecite what you can say please, I'm really in a hole.
Try this...
Try taking out the battery for a few minutes (10-30mins) and reboot your PC then repeat upgrade process. Hope that helps. Good luck!!!
I have the same problem on my PC at work, it's caused by a poor USB chipset in the PC, or trying to connect through a USB hub.
The only thing I found that worked was to try a different PC, then it was fine...

In my case it still happening in other computers. Conclussion: some piece of the software in the universal has been lost. The screen shows "Serial" that means on some way that is opened to comunication but not USB.
My questions are:
- should be possible to put some starting software in SD and do the universal boot on it.
- do you know how to connect to the computer COM! port from the usb miniport of the Universal.
I appreciate, I was not planning to replace now the Universal...

Now works.... I still thinking windows is so stupid software made for distroy our mind ....
Solved after install drivers for a converter usb -rs232 ( I was looking for the way to connect from rs232 the universal)
I'm happy again and I promise don't try to change rom again (at least for a while)
If some person is interested in what brand of software/hardware I installed, send me a mail...
Thanks hearing me ...

i have the same problem with my friend's uni
does it mean that you don't have to own any adapter, just have to install drivers for USB to RS232 adapter
if yes, where to find it?
thanx

I want to say that is running after doing some things and obviously some of it solved my problems. I made:
- unistall last version of activesync and go back to version 4.0
- delete all the applications using ports usb.
due the connection still not running (windows message: device not recognized) and because in the screen of universal I saw: "COMM1" I tried to connect from computer port rs232. By that I purchased some special cable, name: hama brand, rs232 serial, 9 pin - usb.
As you can imagine all the steps I followed were followed by the typical restart of windows. In this sense is important to say that the universal, after connect, need to do a soft reset each time (again windows....)
Other comment is that I unmark the option to connect by usb in activesync and mark the connection by com1.
and after all was done, connecting by usb the unniversal, kill wcescomm, windows said "NEw usb device, sync device". I started mtty and now appears the USB option, great! same time the screen in universal changed from comm1 to usb, more great....
and that's all.
does it mean you solve your problem using special USB 2 RS232 connector?
ZeD
PS: it was my first idea , but i still believe i can solve the problem using USB port

I think my english wording was not fine. I mean I solved my problem after install the sofware -drivers- of the rs232 connector, but connecting to the universal by usb as on standard way I was syncronizing previous the crack with activesync.
OK, where to get this driver?
thanx

I have had the same problem several times now (search the forum for the thread).
I tried three different PC's/laptops and three different USB cables all with the same error as yourself.
Eventually I got a connection but the laborious process of trying - failing, restarting windows and soft resetting the phone, trying - failing........... until it finally worked. I did nothing differently the time that it worked but the strange thing is that it has worked every time since! Maybe the USB driver the phone has a bug in it that causes it to get 'stuck' in a mode where it will no longer correctly operate but once you have managed to 'kick' it into action it seems toi then carry on working.
It was also a ROM upgrade that caused my USB phone driver to stop functioning. Maybe the fact that the phone has a slightly diffferent software configuration after the upgrade but exactly the same hardware fingerprint causes the driver to fail.
Every time that I have had this problem it is after an upgrade but once I have gotten it to work once with the new ROM, it always continues to function - until the next upgrade.

If you're stuck in bootloader mode only, visit www.buzzdev.netand look for ExitBootloader utility written by the great Buzz. Just follow his instructions or scroll thru' Universal's forum here and there for problems relating to "stuck in bootloader"
hope this helps
no device is not recognized by PC so any trying to use exitbl is not available, anyway this option was one of the first what i have tried
thanx anyway
ZeD
i had the same problem with the QTEK of my principal after I upgraded his ROMs.
(after the hard reset, the pocket remained in bootloader mode).
you can solve this problem in a very simple way:
you have to launch the bootloader installation (BL1.01_RUU_UNI_V.1.2.EXE) from the PC (still connected with the PPC through USB) while the PPC is in bootloader mode (on your display you see "USB > Serial 1.01" or something like that).
then you do a SOFT reset and the pocket boot normally.
very simple.
i hope to be helpful to someone.

I had some problem. After uninstall all usb applications in the pc and install the software for cable usb -rs 232, doing some softreset in the pda connected, it turned the screen message "Com" by "Usb"
I have a problem. My Exec is stuck on the bootloader screen. All I see is Serial at the top, and v1.00 at the bottom.
When I connect my exec via USB, the screen continues to say Serial (rather than switching to USB) and the PC I connect to 'installs' the device as 'unknown device' in device manager.
I've seen mention of the problem elsewhere on the site, but the only solution I can find seems to be to keep trying, and eventually it's recognised. So far, after three days of trying, it has not been recognised.
I am aware of Buzz tool to get the device out of bootloader mode, but that required a connection to be established, which at the moment, I can't do.
Has anyone got any experience of this, or any ideas as to what's causing this, or how this can be fixed? I have tried uninstalling the 'unknown device' from device manger, restarting the PC (and hard reset of the Exec) then reconnecting, but the same thing happens every time.
Any ideas would be appreciated, as I'm currently staring at a rather expensive paper weight.
Try this it shld work

This is based on my experience with two UNis..one Exec and other JASJAR..both had same problem...this is how I solved :
-Put yr device in bootloader Mode
-Disable USB in Active Sync
-Now connect woth USB cable and open mtty utility
-Select the "WESUSB... " port
-You shall see a blank white screen..press Enter to get "USB>"
-Then type ( as BUzz has informed) set 14 0
(here I wud like to inform that after doing the above I did not get success so I typed set 14 10,then set 14 9 for two three times)
-Then I ran the ROM Upgrade directly(After enbabling the USB)
-I then followed the procedure as informed on the COngratulations Screen that is hold the two "-" buttons and soft reset and then pressed 0
-I got them back to normal..
I hope this helps to all my friends...Pls feel free..pls do not trouble our Buzz..he might be busy in inventing something more to our devices

Try it with a different USB cable or in a different USB port (don't go through a hub and if you've been using a laptop then try it on a desktop PC since some laptops have hubs built into them). If that doesn't work then you're out of luck as your Universal isn't detecting that you've connected to your PC and its time to send it in for repair.
Thanks Niketkumar - unfortunately it's the step before your suggestion kicks in thats the problem - the device won't connect to the PC, so when using mtty WESUSB..... isn't an option, only COM1 and COM2.
Shuflie, I've tried with three separate USB cables on a laptop and desktop (neither through a hub, and the same device has worked fine on both laptop and desktop before).
I fear a trip to the doctors is in order ...
Very frustrating because the PC sees a device, but installs it as unknown device. Anyone know if theres a Windows CE device driver that I could try and install as an overide (i.e. in device manager on the PC go to update driver and browse to a WinCE.inf or equivalent?)
Failing this, has anyone got any clue what needs to be fixed? Or how much it might cost?
i am stuck on the same problem and wondering the forum for almost 3 days now with no luck.... please help my device is in boot loader mood but not turning the serial to USB ......... please HELP.......

Please follow the steps:
1. Plug in ur usb cable in bootloader mode while it is showing 'serial' and version 'x.xx'.
2. Soft reset by pressing Backlight+power+reset pin WHILE KEEPING THE USB CABLE CONNECTED
3. your phone will now reboot into 'usb' mode. Don't remove the usb cable yet.
4. Remove the Memory card while keeping the usb cable still connected and VOILA,your pc starts recognising your phone as Microsoft usb sync.
5. Do whatever you want to do now (upgrade)
Hope it solves the problem now.
Press thanks if it does.
Something else to try
Having had a few issues with my G3 Uni, I've been through my fare share of Uni bootloader issues. When I find that I can't get the 'serial' to go to 'USB', I normally find it's because I haven't taken the memory card or the SIM card out (usually the memory card).
Make sure your memory card is out, then try to enter the bootloader and see if this cures it. If it does, then use mtty and the command 'set 14 0'
This tells it to reboot on reset. if you were to use 'set 14 1' it would go back to the bootloader on reset.

I tried to reistall activesinch, I've cleaned the registry and i tried to connect it with others software.Still nothing.

I had the same problem sometime ago. I've changed the wire first but nothing happened. My speaker, my Mic was dead and I could switch on FMRadio without the Hands-free!!!
What I did...??? I updated my mobile's Radio with 3.39.90 Version. How can you do this without active sync???
1. Remove SIM Card and Storage Card from the Mobile.
2. Press and Hold the Right Button (Recording Button) and Press together the Power Button. You will be in the Bootloader Screen. Try to update the Radio first.
3. Check it if it's working ok.
2nd way...
1. Copy the official ROM of WindowsMobile to the Storage Card.
2. Press Right Button (you know the Voice Rec) and holding that press the Power Button...
the mobile will be bootloader mode and will try to install the official ROM from the Storage Card...
wait a bit and then when it finish, check it if it is working properly!
Hope to help... waiting to "hear" sorry, to read good news
I have the same problem i cant sincronize the pda whith the activesync and i wish to change the rom. Now it's in france and i wish to change it to english, and it's locked to orange france i think. What can i make? It starts in bootloader, but the instalation from the card is not starting. thankx
le. and if i want to install something gives error 260
I had the same problem 1 month back, checked the mini usb data cable with a multimeter just to find that one of the data TX/RX wire was short with +5v wire, cable was faulty. the 1st and the last wires (+5v , -5v) were ok thats why it was charging the phone, but not connecting to pc, it was giving error unrecognised usb device.
u can also check for bent contacts at the USB mini connector on ur phone.
strange
hy guys
i´ve got a strange problem with my arte110.
for some reason i cant establish an activesync-connection,a few days ago i had some wm6.5 rom running and couldnt connect my device, then suddenly today (maybe because i reinstalled windows on my computer yesterday, i dont know) i was able to connect the phone while in bootloader... so i flashed happy and lucky the original wm (os 5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2) rom i got from t-mobile austria.
now its the same problem as before, i cant connect my device, i've restartet artemis and my computer several times, i've reinstalled activesync 4.5 a million times, i've tried all available usb-ports- different usb cables (same cable works with external harddrives) and even my office-computer, and so on...
my pda is (and was allways) charging but i cant syncronize.
has anyone any idea what could cause this problem?- please don't tell me the usb port of the pda is damaged, I wouldn't want to have to fix anything in this case...
hoping for good news, McPerfuntory
[by the way, please dont judge me for spelling mistakes, i'm from austria!!!]
done
okay guys, no need to respond anymore, i got it right..
but i don't really know how i repaired that one, i disassembled the devive cleaned everthing in there and cleaned the usb connector..
..works again
