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.....

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...

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?
Hi there!
What key combination gets me into the bootloader?
I've been wondering and searching for a way to upgrade my MDA pro rom. (searching for hours on xda, google and a lot of other specialized sites. Turned out to be dead ends! FRUSTRATING!
I'va had a Qtek S100 before. There was a way to get into the bootloader. And there is a way into the bootloader for the Universal to! YES!
But when i try to push the buttons
on/of
Camera
reset button
i cant get in!
button 1 and 2
reset
the same problem.
I get as far as the pres 0 or X for factory default and exit.
Who can help me? I have the no_id upgrade utility and the ROM ready.
Was there a UUL file which i had to edit before using this upgrade method?
I hope there wil be a good tutorial for this just like the one i have used to upgrade my S100 to an orange rom. (worked great!)
Can anyone help me please
Its BACKLIGHT BUTTON + POWER BUTTON + RESET HOLE
It's better to do this without the SIM and Memory Card connected. Disconnect also the USB Sync Cable.
After entering bootloader, you will see SERIAL written on the screen but the screen has no backlight so you have to look hard.
Then when you plug the Sync Cable, the SERIAL will change to USB then you can run the NoID to update.
Remember the NoID has to be run twice in a row as the first time usually solicits an ID Country error
It Works
Thanks Jorge!
Just those keystrokes helped me a lot. It works just fine and it took me only one run to Initiate the upgrading.
Thanks a lot!
I followed your advice and removed the SD and the phone card.
Yes! now i can experiment with these ROMS.
First Jasjar, later O2 and hoping for the best roms with the best programs.(hoping to find a messenger cab file in the jasjar rom)
As I am planning to do the same, Try all the variants of the ROM's, could you inform me what are the good and bad points of all the different ROM's you used and which did you decide to use finally.
Thanks
HELP !!!!
I turn on my Qtek 9000 and i see SERIAL written and the screen but the screen has no backlight.
How can I boot my Qtek 9000 again without this SERIAL mode ????
Best Regards
Hi Ecraseur,
if You did not do anything else (no upgrading), try ColdReset : Power-switch + Reset hole.

If we can boot from Serial/USB is it possible to boot from Mini SD? I'm toying with the idea that by using a Linux Live Disk content on a Mini SD it may be possible to boot into a virtual Linux environment? I know it's going to be uber slow and may not even work but I thought it may be worth a look?
If a Mini SD boot isn't possible do you think it'd work to have one of the smaller USB bootable Linux flavours as the USB boot for the HTC Wizard etc?
My grey screen says USB v2.07. I tryed to update the radio to 1.13... I copied the EnterBl.exe over to the Siemens SX66 and executed it. It blinked and then turned off. Then it came back on and displays USB when on the cradel and Serial when removed. I cannot get it to do anything now. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Bobby

Siemens SX 66 ( I have no idea how that translates into blue angel)
same here
if some one has a sulotion please send me instruction or a mail [email protected]
thnx
you are stuck in bootloader mode. just run the setup for rom upgrade/restore for your device and it should work. I think a hard reset will also allow it to reboot into normal mode, but not sure.
Defiant XDA
I cannot seem to get it to reset nor be recognized by the computer when it is placed in the cradle. It will chime as it is placed in the cradle, yet the charging light no longer ignites and the hot-sync program on my WinXP pc does not indicate that they are connected any more.
Thank you for your time!

restore the original ROM. I had this issue after I run a defrag on my "Storage" folder using Storage Tools. I could not reset it. Also, upgrade with higher ROM did not work.
You have to restore / setup using original ROM version. Good luck!
Follow this link, download the update and follow through the instructions.

original rom
Does any one has the original rom for the ph20b my son messed it up
\if any one can send it via email or a link will be helpfull
thnx
Another Possible Solution...
This has happened to me numerous times when upgrading to various ROM versions and through experimentation I finally realized that it was related to my storage card. I also remember reading another post like this where this problem can occur if the storage card is on the large side (>= 1GB ).
Just take out the card and reconnect to the cradle and you should be able to flash again.
Hope this helps
Hi,
I made a mistake with flashing QTEK S200 with wrong file.
Bootloader was modified. Device can not start at all.
It can not even go to bootloader screen (red-green-blue).
As consequence, no USB connection can be established.
What is the solution? I guess utilities can not be used, because they assume connection to USB, but there is no connection.
Not big deal, because it was not working well anyways, but would be interesting to know a solution in this case. Many ppl. would be happy to know how to manage this situation, I guess.
later.
Not very good news, service center said they don't know how to fix it, but kept the device to make few things with it.
Clearly, bootloader was overwritten.
Will see. Somehow they manage to identify type of rom is installed from i-mate.
So, think before you make any flashing
re: another service said they will do whatever needed, up to replacing chip with flash. I am not ready to go that far yet.
feel like i am missing something
It appears to be a real problem with flash.
No connection to computer with USB.
With power supply connected blue-green-?? screen, but I cannot connect to PC of course.
With USB cable connected blue-green-?? screen does not come up.
I figured out that pins 4 and 5 are shorten when power supply is connected. I did this with USB connection to PC, but still not connected.
For sure, USB is not functioning on device.
Will get new device, but very interested on how to repair this one. I disassembled it completely. There is no way to replace the flash chip at home, you need specific equipment and chip, of course.
What I need is surcuit diagram for S200 or similar, particularly part of diagram related to flash, radio module is not needed. Is there any possibility to get it? If I have it, I think can reprogram chip.
Thanks.
Hm. It looks like extreemly difficult to get pins layout on motherboard.
JTAG is the only solution left to access chips direct. But we need to know where JTAG pins on motherboard.
Recovered S200.
Finally very good news!
Prophet S200 was succesfully recovered with help of Arc.
He managed to discover JTAG pins, afterwards re-flashed SPL and ROM.
REALLY GOOD JOB!
Want to say special THANKS to Arc!!!
Device go live again.
Until next experiment....
But procedure to recover is in place.

i have a dead one too
Hi there,
I have a dead one too can you tell me how to fix it please?
dead, as in my ppc k-jam is dead
basically it hangup and i soft restarted, tried hard reset. it didnt help either. i tried restoring to factory default same thing it hangup. now it doesnt shows any signs of life . i lost my life, my buddy.
My Orange SPV M2000 will not start anymore after update. I only see Serial (on top)............ V2.07 (underneath)
I tried to update my ORANGE SPV M2000 to Tmobile's newest rom by extracting the exe. file and using maUpdateut. It started well and all of a sudden gave error "country code................"
You will not be able to fix it yourself.
Equipment and phone required physically in order to connect jtag interface and re-flash DOC.
Sorry, but this is the only solution if your bootloader is damaged.
Of course, you can try to ship it to service center. If you are lucky they will change your device. This might more simple.
Good luck.

I know how to open device and solder some wires to testpoints. Do you have any information where the pins are located and what software and what JTAG adapter you used? I really need to get my phone working again. It was quite expensive to purchase and to ship it to my country. Please don't destroy my hope.
hello friends,
my cousin recently buy O2 XDa ( wallaby ) for cheap one, i check on device it seems cann't boot to windows but if i hard reset and came up red, green, blue and if i press ok it came up with test all thing i confuse all the test is OK, can you all tell me how to repair the phone and waht is the problem?
thank you
dead device hope on the horizon
note my device and troubles is on the xda2
hi - i have had exactly the same issue - i have managed to reload the rom i was trying to swop and here is what i did .... it took ages and lots of patience and it is not an exact work of science but if you try my method 2 or three times it actually comes back to life ... honest !!
down load an xda2i ( yes xda2i )rom extract it using winrar or zip on your pc place dead xda2 into cradle regardless of whats on screen run himupgradenoid - the rom will run and start to load onto your device it will fail once it has failed remove xda but do nt reset - take copy of original rom which was on the device prior to your failed upgrade and extract as above. replace xda into cradle might be detected or not dont worry - run the himupgradeut from your previous working rom and wait it takes ages to connect but eventually heypresto ... you will have a working device. i know cos i done it !!! - i have not resolved all my problems yet - i still want to load latest 02 rom but even after entering correct device data into nbfs using batch file method the device crashes saying incorrect counry id. - i accidently created my problems by accidently running the wrong upgrade rom and i guess it changed somthing on my device " country code" however when i use method above to get original rom inplace and working when i extract device data into windows folder on device i still see the wwe ( world wide english) so i am still in a pickle - can anyone help me .
hello
i'm working on the project of flashing the bootloader into a totally erased and dead phone. can you send us the test points from the prophet please? and if you know their location on a WIZARD. thank you..
Somebody here Please tell what soft to use with JTAG to recover da bootloader!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wizard and Charmer pins are both needed.
hi, i've succesfully wrecked my Blueangel PH20B by flashing a modded wm6-universal-rom... i've got all the hw & sw to resurrect the phone but the jtag pins on the BA-PCB...
can someone give me a hint where i may find them? (i'm not wanting to bake the pcb as i know i'll wreck it comletley)
thanks in advance,
mario
Same problem here
Hi,
I believe I'm having the same problem
Please help me
Thax a million
so can you help me i need to write the wizard(g4) bootloader or thell me how can i do this
T-Mobile USA SDA II
Me also, i'm i need of re-writing boot-loader of T-Mobile USA SDA II
well, ok I understand that you can get the Jflash_mm working with PXA systems, you can write the definition for yourself, as for the CPU.
but I have serious doubts that inspire me to suggest you will have tiny chance to actually program a DiskOnChip Millennium series (or familiar) chip used in many platforms (actually I believe most HTC devices).
after all this means that if you are not working for (or in affiliation or partnership with) SanDisk, you are not in position to program bootloader to (not limited to) UNIVERSAL, WIZARD, PROPHET, and CHARMER (and if I remember well, BLUEANGEL and HIMALAYA) devices over JTAG.
any news............
HELP!! Im trying to replace my current german language orbit rom with B&B4...activesync was working and my screen went blank like it was supposed to...but I instantly lost activesync when it did...I can not go any farther. What do I do??
I have replied in the other forum, please don't post in more than one forum.
sorry.
I figured it out. Just procede through the USPL setup even though it says make sure activesync is connected. (activesync is dissconnected when screen goes blank but will still update correctly) thanks again guys
of course when your device resets itself activesync connection is lost. even usb connection is lost for a short time (you can hear the ding-dong and dong-ding sound). activesync needs a usb connection and software running both on pc and pocket pc. so when your device starts into bootloader you cant have an activesync connection. but to flash some stuff all you need is a working usb connection.
I can understand that but
I see what your saying...but when your flashing anything be it a PSP, P3300 or anything else where there is a possibility of bricking it, your going to try not to deviate from the instructions...so when the screen goes black and you have to check the box which says you've complied with the above steps and a connected activesync connection is one them...time to hit the forums and get a few things cleared up.
