Not even stuck at Bootloader :(

Please help!
I just upgraded my ROM to Ivan's latest AKU3.5 from bootloader
This completed successfully (100% successful, disconnect and restart etc)
I disconnected and reset, except it was stuck in bootloader mode
I tried the Mtty method (for the first time ever) and followed the step by step instructions...
...after a few seconds a few command lines appeared with "USB>" on the last line
I took this to mean the process had finished (?), disconnected the device from USB and tried a soft reset
the device just stayed stuck in bootloader
next, i downloaded uni_exitbootloader and ran it (as this has worked for me many times in the past). it didn't work the first few times, but i disconnected and reconnected and this time it worked. It said "data sent, you can now reset your device"
This maybe where i went wrong?
I foolishly reset the device before disconnecting it from the USB. The PC immediately said "USB device not recognised" and the screen of my Universal went blank
Now, if i soft reset, it does nothing, i cannot even put it back into bootloader using the camera, on, reset button combination.
HOWEVER, if i press the two soft keys (as if i was going to do a hard reset) i get the white screen with the black text saying "Press 0 to restore etc"
If i press 0, it says "clearing" but the screen just goes blank
If i press x, the screen just goes blank
Now i am completely unable to try and use either mtty or exitbootloader as my PC just says "USB device not recognised" and neither applications run as they should
QUESTION: Have i totally bricked my Universal?!
If not, what can i possibly do...???
As usual, i will be extremely greatful for any advice or assistance to resurrect my favourite Pocket PC!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Aaagh! I think i just realised what i did...
1. I didn't read the posting "For all those stuck in the bootscreen, try the Mamaich method" carefully enough. I didn't realise that the Mamaich method totally erased the ROM!!!
2. By not flashing a new ROM to the device immediately and instead using exitbootloader to exit the bootloader screen i now have a device that has no ROM and probably has no way of knowing how to get into bootloader mode.
Can someone confirm this?
For one, i feel like an idiot for not reading the posting carefully, but having admitted to being stupid,...
... is there anything at all i can do???
Please help...

cancel that, you already said what i was going to ask above

have you try to flash it again with original ROM? sometimes it helps!

Once in bootloader mode, try plugging it into a different USB port, one directly on the PC.
I have had this where one port says not recognised, even after having been plugged in and used for ages, then I go to flash it and it won't work.
Another port has worked for me.

Since you ereased the DOC, all you've got to do now is to reflash the default ROM.

Thanks everyone...
Only problem is, i cannot get it into bootloader mode. And every port i plug it into (so far) says "device not recognised"...
Nevertheless, i did try to reflash the device, but it just gave me the "Error 150" message. It just doesn't know the device is connected i guess?
I think if i hadn't done the Exitbootloader step then i would have been able to reflash it. However, now that i have... i'm a bit stuck... any ideas of other ways to get the device into Bootloader mode?

try
you already know there is a file called EXITBOOTLOADER but did you know that here is a file called ENTERBL ?
try it .....

Thanks dhob187!
Where might i find this file though? Did you mean to attach it?
Just one other question...
How does ENTERBL work if the PC doesn't recognise my device i.e. "USB device not recognised"? Will the application override this and push commands to my pocket pc anyway?
Or is there a way i can get my PC to stop rejecting the device when i plug the USB in?
Thanks in advance,

I believe this is the file u needed
i don't know how this utility works, but just yesterday i stuck in the bootloader after upgrading my uni to AKU 3,5 and solved with ExitBootloader.exe. CMIIW it works the same way, just plug the USB cable then execute the utility (just simple as that).....
but have u tried my earlier suggestion? my friend got the exact problem like you (blank LCD not even bootloader), he was downloaded the original EXEC ROM and try to flash with it (with original upgrade utility also). and the thing start to blink, enter the bootloader and flashing!.....after he manage to wake the device up, then he tried to flash it again with the newest ROM and succeded........
sorry for my english.....

Please don't apologise for your English, thank you for your suggestions!
I didn't quite understand your initial post... but i do now.
Does it have to be the first ROM that it was shipped with or just an original i-mate JasJar ROM?
I can't try it now, but i'm excited to go home and give it a go later tonight... what's more i'm excited at the prospect that there may be some hope for my currently rather expensive paperweight!!!
If the aforementioned doesn't work, i'll try using your attachment.
Cheers again!

it doesn't have to be the first rom that shipped with your imate, just an original one. try your luck then! never give up, keep the faith!!!

sorry, forgot one thing, just ignore the USB error (not recognized) and go for the upgrade (execute the original upgradeUt.exe)

Hi Rudy173.
Thanks for your help, but unfortunately nothing has worked
I have tried running two official JasJar Roms without success... i always get the connection error message (this is surely because the PC always says "device not recognised" when i plug it in).
Also, when i run ENTERBL.exe i just get a failure saying that ...ENTERBL.exe is not a valid WIN32 application... etc...
So unfortunately, i'm still stuck... any further suggestions anyone?
Can the i-mate service centre help me? Is it likely to be expensive?

Back in business )
Wow, not entirely sure what i did... but my Universal is ALIVE!!!
As per the previous post, nothing seemed to be working so i removed Activesync 4.5 beta and reverted to 4.1. I then tried to reflash to an original ROM and the same "connection error" problem happened.
However, next time i tried to enter bootloader, by pressing light, on/off and reset, it went straight into bootloader and i was able to reflash from there
I didn't even need to reflash with an original i-mate ROM. I went straight for Ivan's latest.
This experience has taught me a few things:
1. I have become seriously attached to my Universal!
2. You should never give up hope of retrieval!!
3. This forum is full of very nice helpful people!!!
Thanks everyone.

wow! glad to hear that!
Happy ending....................

What to do when activesync does not work

i tried to upgrade to new kitchen image but it came up with activesync broken. now i want to revert to another image but does not know how this can be achieved.
is it possible to bring herm100 into SPLv bootloader and have it talk over USB so that a new image can be transferred?

Did you try a soft reset first, then test if you can get AS to connect, then try hard reset.
Do this while DISCONNECTED from the PC.
Sometimes after flashing a new OS, I have lost AS connectivity. A soft reset of the device, or a power cycle reboot always solved the problem.

i tried both soft and hard reset but it does not help. when it tries to activesync then it connects to "'USB" instead to "USB" - note ' before USB.

OK, you can enter bootloader and flash another image through the USB using the RUU.

Right. Nice one slimshadee.
The other alternative is to flash using SD Card method.

Hi, i have thought it would be the boot loader mode too so i have had a look at some topics regarding that. When i try camera+reset+power it does not help. When i try to flash the unit with ranju-v76 it does find a problem but when it tries to recover it vista just says that the program has craches.
Any ideas waht to try or how exactly?
Thanks

Hi,
Bootloader combination key is Backlight + Power + Reset.
1] Make sure you connect the USB cable to main USB port on computer and
not the USB extesion / hub.
2] Remove any SD card you may have inserted in the card slot
3] try to flash again it must be completed

Help pls i have olinex 1.40 hardspl in but my phone is stuck in bootloader with "upgrade ROM code error Please try again" i cant get out...tried hard reset nothing...tried recovery mode (volume down + reset ) nothing...cant get a usb connection help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are you sure you don't have usb connection? try running an ruu with usb plugged in see if it runs. it sounds like you tried to flash a radio from another device. try flashing a new radio.

Bootloader bottom says "serial" but wont switch to "usb"
Perhaps this is a known issue but I could not find the solution easily and ended up discovering it myself so wanted to share it in case others face the same.
I was try to use the mtty software to "clean" my touch diamond in an effort to get rid of some bugs in macadam 1.2 rom [great rom, by the way].
I had disabled the usb connections in active sync on my laptop [mac running windows xp in bootcamp]
I could enter bootloader easily but the bottom part of the multicolor screen kept saying "serial" and would not switch to "usb" when I connected the phone to the laptop.
What finally worked was ensuring that the phone was set for "activesync" rather than use as a "disk drive" or "internet sharing". I had assumed, wrongly, that once in bootloader the last selected option [disk drive] would be irrelevant.
So I exited the bootloader by pressing the reset key; connected phone to pc via cable; selected the active sync option; disconnected the phone; entered bootloader, connected the phone via cable again and the bottom of the bootloader changed to usb and I was able to use mtty successfully.
I wonder if this has implications for people stuck with bad flashes etc. In my case I could easily exit the bootloader and go back and select 'activesync' from the working phone. One could also hard reset if a working rom was on the phone...
BUT If one is stuck with the option of only the bootloader, would it matter on what the last selected option was [active sync or use as usb disk drive or internet sharing]?

This doesn't make any difference. When you're stuck in bootloader just plugin your USB and the display will state "USB" as well. You can flash a rom at this point.

Upgrade ROM code error

I have flashed many Custome ROM's before. I have HardSPL installed on my phone.
I tried flashing to a ROM (I forget which one now, I think Cloudfa or something) and it stopped at about 15%. The Update utility stopped as well.
I cannot connect to bootloader at all. I tried holding down on Volume down/Reset to enter bootloader, but the thing is that it's already in bootloader with the message "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again"
ActiveSync doesn't see my phone either. In fact all it does is just sit on the bootloader screen with that error...
Please Help... Thanks You...

A normal soft reset still brings you back to Bootloader?
What happens when you plug in your device? Does it not change from serial to USB at the bottom?

Sorry. Yes it does show USB when plugged in, but won't respond to anything that I have tried software wise. It does not switch from this bootloader/error screen at any point. Even after I pull my battery and turn it back on...
I have yet to come across a thread which has this exact problem...

Have you tried flashing a different ROM while in bootloader?

^^ Yes. It give me an error on my computer...
I would like to try the internal flashing method but I don't seem to have a way of getting at my Storage Card.
I found this thread with a similar problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480022
I WAS just able to get off of that screen I was talking about, but the best I get is to the Touch Diamond Screen that lists my ROM and such. So no real progress.
I have a feeling that I would resolve my problem if I could Flash from the Interanl Storage...

Have you tried hard resetting the device?
Pull out stylus and Holding....1) Vol. Down 2) Center Round button 3) then press red button aka soft reset with stylus

Nothing...
