Hello Universalowners!
I got a really big Problem. My Universal falled down 4 month ago. Because of that the USB-Connector broke out. Till yesterday that was no problem. My Universal worked pretty good. Under Windows, I was able to connect to my device by Bluetooth.
No here comes my problem.
Yesterday I booted up my device and I dont know why, it came up in bootloader mode.
I tried every key combination, but it does not reboot back to windows. Even Both softkey+reset does not work.
My friend owns an universal too, and we tried to back up his rom to sd card with mtty. The d2s command is locked on his device. There is no chance to backup his rom to sd card.
That would be my only chance to get my universal back to life.
The change of the usb connector would cost me a lot Euros.
I really don´t need the usb connection if I have a running system.
I charge my batteries by an external device and everything else I can do by bluetooth or infrared.
So please tell me, what I can do, to get my problem solved. I heared something about the tool itsutils.exe with rapi enabler on my friends device. But I really do not know, how I have to handle this.
Could someone send me the image, which I can write to sdcard with my laptop?? Please help me. I need my universal like the air to live!
Hope I will get a soon answer from you!! Thank you in advance!!!!!!
Don't o2 Germany do an insurance plan like o2 UK?
If I were you I'd buy the connector for the Euro or so it will cost, and solder it in myself. But of course, if it goes wrong you'll have fried your XDA with no backup. Can't you just call o2, take out insurance, then about a month later, "Lose" it?
After trying all types of tricks, I am still unable to get my USB port on the Artemis to do anything but charge the phone. I am dying to stick a Tom_codon firmware on the thing but without a USB port I am pretty much dead in the water. Anyone have any experience with PPC Techs repair service? They seem like they are pretty fast at turnaround time. I am curious how much a mini-USB port repair might cost. Don't they just open the case, de-solder old port, solder in a new one, close it and run some diagnostics or does it go deeper than that?
Any experience or pricing info for this type of repair would be appreciated. Thanks!
Really wish we had some news on the HTC Polaris...might be vaporware!

No one has ever used PPC Techs??
Looks like everyone has a perfectly functional Artemis all the time?! I would love to get mine repaired if it is worthwhile, especially since the WM6 upgrade is out from HTC. Anyways, please weigh in with your thoughts/experiences in getting a repair done either from PPC Techs or HTC themselves. Thanks!

Hi,
my Problem is exactly the same. But I cant send it to t-mobile because i've flashed an WM6 for O2 and without USB I can't update to the original German T-Mobile ROM.

I had a minor probelm with the USB connector where the headphones would crack and splutter on playback.
I used some good contact cleaner and it seems to have done the trick.

if your device is CID-Unlocked you can flash any rom with micro-sd-card and bootloader. go to wiki

here the link to wiki: Artemis SD Card Flashing
Hi,
I just got my 8gb Sandisk MicroSD, out of excitement, I tried to put it in my Jasjam the otherway around, after a while I realized I am doing it wrong so now when I try to insert it using the right way, it wont stick in, just comes out like the spring is broken??? Is there anyway to fix this??
Thanks
If its under warranty send it back to manufacturer, but don't tell tell what you did exactly
nope, its not under warranty , any other solution? Thanks
My imate pda2k aka blueangel hangs up. This happened after i pulled the mem card out of the unit while still in the middle of the process.
I tried restarting the unit but it happens that it keeps hanging up after entering windows mobile.
Its blue light on the left is blinking as well.
tried hard resetting of the unit with no avail. tried the modified version of resetting it and still no luck.
I have windows mobile 6.5.1 .
Would there be any chance of repairing it or is it already bricked?
Before taking it to some tech man, could you have any idea on how to fix this?
could you provide a little more information?
what is "the process" in your 1st sentence?
what is "the modified version of resetting"?
it is in the process of changing a theme from default to custom one. then i unplugged the memory card out of the pda .
can anyone help me?
Flash Blue Angel/Qtek 9090 from SD Card
Hi,
I always thought myself pretty techincal, but for the first time in my life I'm going to have to accept I'm doing an English degree and not advanced programming.
Exactly one week ago I decided to load my Qtek 9090 with the theme (as I thought at the time) of Windows 6.5. This, stupidly, was not the case. I copied, for some unknown reason, Enterbl.exe my SD Card and opened...Well, I think think we all know what happens now: 'Serial V2.08'.
This screen doesn't change, no matter what I do. I haven't flashed any rom to it, and solely clicked on Enterbl.exe (Even though this was a horrendous thing to do.) A week later I'm still none the wiser.
I recently bought this device of ebay, and so have no usb cable for it,and so if I need to 'flash the rom' I can only do this via a 1g 'Memorex SD card'. I have researched many forums, and a lot of have said I can, others have said I can't. I can't get a header for the sd card as I don't have a cable or dock.
I do really like this device and don't like seeing it stuck in the serial bootscreen. I do hope someone can help. If they can I am more than willing to donate money to them for their time.
I look forward to your responses.
(I was running Windows Mobile 2003SE - Compact framework 3.5

I can't hard reset..can soft reset..but this brings up no screen apart from Serial V2.08.

Infact, if I someone can get this sorted I'll pay the programmer £30 (the price I paid for the phone on ebay) through paypal.

This may be a silly question, but did you try to take out the SD card out of the phone and then remove the battery/soft reset? If Enterbl is present in the SD card and there is anything pointing to that exe in your device, maybe removing it would fix it.
Updated amount offered....
Hey mate!
Cheers for the quick reply, unfortunately I deleted the file off the sd card straight away after the error to see if this was the case; unfortunately this was done to no avail!
I must add that there is no sd card in the device at the moment and no sim card..
So, all I have is a device that just has a screen stuck on Serial V2.08. No other screen appears, no matter what variation of keys I press:
Power+hard reset
Camera+Record+Hard reset+power
etcetera, etcetera
If people want to discuss this with me using a different medium other than on the forum please email me (Nick) at [email protected]
I would like, simply, just to explain my issue again:
1)Placed bootloader.exe on my sd card
2)Placed sd card into my device
3)Stupidly clicked it
4)All that remains is the screen "Serial V2.08" (No other screen can be entered.
All I want to do is update the rom using a 'Memorex 1Gb SDcard I don't mind if it's the Windows Mobile 2003Se rom or the updated Windows Mobile 5 or 6.5, etc.
If any one can tell me how to do this WITHOUT USING ANY CABLE TO A PC I'd be greatly appreciated. (I can't get the header for the SD card as I don't have the cable)
If someone can give me a good step by step I'll actually now give them £35 (Around $50) via paypal (more than I paid for the phone itself) -I would love to have WM6.5 rom as well (cheeky I know)
I look forward to your responses..

yep, that should probably do the trick, taking out the sd card and performing a soft reset, if then, you don't get any further than the 4 colour screen, a hard reset.
and while many of us would like sd card flashing, it is not really working for the BA, unless you have a master device and a mtty connection through a cradle. so i guess, if you are willing to spend money on a solution to flash your device, you should probably invest 3pounds in a usb cable and just flash the regular way.
i received my additional usb cable today. it was a usb cable, with an AC-usb adapter, and a car charger usb adapter for 10eur, so, what is that, like 6 pounds?
another advantage is, ordering on ebay will be faster than waiting for someone to code something. hope this was helpful. if you can import from germany, i can send you ebay links for cheap cables.
Unfortunately, Chef's right. You are indeed better off getting a cable of eBay, which will cost you faaaar less. (not that I wouldn't appreciate a $50 cup of coffee though )
I could try to make an image of a prepped SD card for you to use, but I am uncertain if this would even work. Let me see what I can do when I get home...
In response to Chef_Tony
I understand I can order the cable from ebay, but I feel, even if it is more expensive, that it'd be a worthwhile resource to have online, for people that may be in the same situation....and don't own a cable.
I will leave this up for two days, if it can't be solved at all, then I will just have to order a cable; I would still be more amazed if this could be resolved...It'd make me prouder, anyway, rather than backing down and getting a cable.
There must be a way to flash the Blue Angel/Qtek 9090 from the SD Card (not using one single cable ) and I'm more than happy to spend £35 on it to see if done. I can't do it myself, unfortunately, but feel there must be someone out there that can, or, that has succesfully completed a full flash from an sd card to the Blue Angel...
So, for two days, I'll keep this post here, if it's not resolved and can't be done..then at least all owners know, without a cable, there is ABSOLUTELY know way this process can be performed...

As I said, let me see what I can do...
OK, I made the card with a 2003 image. Now, I simply have to figure out a way to rip the card and make an image out of it and we'll be in good shape...
Image Ready.
The attached download is a torrent, which I am seeding myself. Open it and get. I will seed this for only one week. You will need Winhex and a 1 GB card (you really need a 64 MB card but this is the smallest I had. The torrent is an image of a 1GB card and you will need WinHex to remount it (I think). I will try to get my hands on a different card (if I can) to make the download smaller, but I cannot promise you anything.
Give it a go and I will be waiting for the bounty (when it works )
I response to the torrent
Believe me, if you manage to have fixed this problem you deserve a medal, not simply £35. I'm still waiting for the torrent to download (the fluctuating speeds mean it jumps from 0.2k to 136kb every 10 secs)
I've downloaded winhex....is this process of remounting simply a case of selecting the winhex file and selecting my sd card? D:?
--
'File'
'Restore Image'
'Selecting winhex file'
??
If you could just inform me briefly how to mount this image using winhex I'd
be extremely grateful...
studentpaps
Right
I now have the image file and winhex (full version)
I am absolutely clueless...I hasten to add.....
Right, let me tell what I'm doing step by step
1)Open the BASDimg winhex file.
2)The program opens and asks:
'write sectors immediately to disk'
'Export sectors into a raw headerless image file'
(Which one do I click?)
I've tried the 'write sectors immediately to disk'
When I have a look on the 1gb memory disk it just shows sectors 001, etc.. there doesn't seem to be an img file.
Place into my device and nothing happens...I press camera, power and reset...still nothing...in fact... ever since I clicked the bootloader.exe on the device I haven't seen a single change of screen from the Serial v2.08...
I'm completely bewildered by all this....
I know I'm completely wasting your time with all this (you will get rewarded in the end, I suppose) but what should I be clicking on and what files should be on my sd card, so that when I restart my blue angel device it'll be recongized?
Basically and simply I'm asking what to do when I'm in winhex to save the image file to my sd card.
Seriously, thanks for all your help so far...you've been brilliant..even though my malcontent has got me nowhere..
Ok, just got a message on my blue angel stating 'Rom size not enough'
The final outcome
Finally I've got the outcome: Buy a cable
I thank you all for the help you've given me.....
Unfortunately my device just brings up a screen:
SD Download
Sections = 3
Not Allow Update!
Oh
I forgot to say, for all your hard work I am going to donate something to you just for some of the work you've put in to help..even though it was unsuccesful. At least I have an answer....
I've not bought an xda IIs cable and am now looking for a stable unbrickable windows mobile 5 rom. I'll create a new thread for this and won't keep bothering you,mate...hahaha
Thanks again
Studentpaps, London, UK
and i already answered to your new thread
i think you will like the roms that i offered you there, although none of those are wm5. talking about bricks is bad luck by the way
and it is not the rom that "bricks" the device but mistakes made while flashing, it could also happen with an official rom, if for instance, flashed from windows vista/7 without taking care of the difficulties that come with those OSs first. the blueangel is afaik not really "brickable". most BAs will always be saved, even if they look stuck in bootloader mode or splash screen, but reading how to flash first will save you any trouble and risk.
Hello all, I have searched the forums far and wide for something relative to my problem but It's a rare one so as yet I haven't found anything, please direct me and delete this thread if I'm wrong!
A friend gave me his Desire as the micro USB port was broken. I promptly ordered a new one, and promptly messed up the installation due to malfunctions out of my control. I didn't think much of it as we happen to have an external phone battery charger in the house, so I can still use it fully just without being able to plug the phone in while it's on to charge it, my problem now is that the phone is locked to T-mobile and the unlock utility requires connecting to a computer!
My question is, is there any possible way of unlocking the phone for my Tesco sim, without having to plug it in, or use one of those Rebelsims? I've Googled tireslessly and cannot seem to find anyone in the same situation as me, so I ask you esteemed forum natives, it is possible?

short answer, no. Long answer, no. I don't think its possible.
I thought that might be the answer! I just needed to hear it from people on here, I suppose my best option is the rebelsim or trying to mend the port again
