imate PDAL ROM Upgrade problem

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I am stuck at a dead end.
tried to upgrade PDAL ROM to 3.0 (from 2.01)
Got a blue i-mate screen never went out of it.
tried all the hardreset tricks, no use.
tried to reinstall RUU with activesync, no use.
What else can be done?
for example, would it be possible to delete the ROM totally and reinstall it? how?
Appreciate your comments
regards
sy

I have the same problem
Would anybody be able to help, please reply to us. Thanks!

I've just spoken to the customer service from i-Mate. This issue can only be resolved by their service centre. So, no any simple solution so far.
Please be aware when you want to upgrade it.

my device is in service center for 7 days and they could not come up with a solution. I hope it is because they did not start working on it yet

1. Download Romupdate v1.11a
2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.
4. Run Romupdate v1.11a (from downloaded)
5. from left top corner drop down menu Port: Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM1 try unplugging the USB and replugging it)
6. press OK button
7. type "set 14 0" without the quotes in blank window that showed up to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
8.press enter to execute
9. on next line you will see:
HTCST ÚÈÒHTCEUSB>
10.type "task 28" (no quotes) right after > sign to get your device formatted
11.press enter to execute, you gonna see:
DOC_format_HW+
DOCInfoTableinitHW+
Binary0:dwSize=80000
BINFS0:dwSize=0
FAT0:dwSize=1000000
FAT1:dwSize=2BA0000
All:dwSize=3C20000
USB>
12. type "task 0" (no quotes) right atfter > sign to ask your device reboot
13.press enter to execute the command
14. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
good luck.

hi
wher i can find the Romupdate with arabic or without

PDAL Problem
I too am facing the same problem with my PDAL. I upgraded the rom version and now am just getting the initial blue screen with the imate details. Please help in solving this as i just cant seem to be going forward. Any ideas how to get the device booted up and working .

response to the above two question
1. How to enter Bootloader in PDAL?
I inquired the service people and was told it can be done by pressing power button and left soft key simuteneously and tap the reset hole. I have tried and it did work.
2. Any solution for not passing the welcome screen?
It seems there isn't any solution, other than sending to their service centre. It will take a long time. My phone has been there over 2 weeks but I was told they are still awaiting part. I guess they will replace the main board.
3. PDAL isn't HTC device?
I think it is. The code with HTC should be Pean. The service centre also listed it as HTC device. But I am not sure if MTTY can work.

How to enter Bootloader in PDAL?
my phone alwys login blu scren then restart
Im pressing power button + left soft key and tap the reset hole but not wok in Bootloader !!!

Flashing your Imate PDAL
Dear All,
I Have enough experience of Imate PDAL , It's too simple , just follow the steps below:
1- got any ROM version from Imate website "www.clubimate.com"
2- Format your Imate flash card using your PC ( use any USB card reader matches the size), "FORMAT WITH FAT OPTION ONLY , DON'T FORMAT WITH FAT32 " and keep it connected to your PC for now.
3- prepare your PC to show all hidden files using "folder option " from your PC control panel, without this you will not be able to access the below in step 5>
4- run the EXE ROM file of Imate Rom on your PC but don't follow the steps on the screen , just keep it waiting for an action)
5- now browse your PC ( go to your windows Temp folder in the boot sector of your windows " Example C:\Documents and Settings\Magdy\Local Settings\Temp"
6- Click your the right button of your mouse and chose ( arrange Icon by Modified )
7- go to the the last folder in the list and open it , you will find the following files inside that folder " CoolFlash_Comms.dll , GotoBL.exe, RUUShop.exe,WMIPL.DIP,WMUPDAT.DIP "
8- Mark the last two files "WMIPL.DIP,WMUPDAT.DIP" and copy them to your Flash Card , now you are ready to flash your mobile using your only flash card.
9- insert the flash card in your Imate PDAL , remove the Battery for 5 seconds and install it again .
10- now Press the two Bottons (Left button " above the green handset button" + Power Botton ) , the mobile will start flashing your mobile , after completion your mobile will restart automatically.
Enjoy
Hint: some other roms of Imate Pdal " Like the Chinese WM6 one " doesn't need the WMIPL.DIP file , it needs only the WMUPDAT.DIP to flash the device.
The above is safe and would not damage your Device but know that " NO DATA WOULD BE RECOVERED UNLESS YOU HAVE A BACKUP DATA FOR IT, THE DEVICE WILL BE AS FACTORY DEFAULT"

Hi Magdy, sorry for my english but i'm italian...
i bought a PDAL with english language (the seller said me that was italian ), so i would like to flash it in italian...how can i do? Is no problem to flashing, but i don't have any rom and I don't know hoe to retrieve it from the web...
In your experience, is possible to copy the italian rom from an italian PDAL (of my friend) to flash my pdal?
Is there a version of WM06 (also in english) avaiable?
thanks for all

1.download Romupdate v1.11? where?????????

Me too, where can i get this romupdater utility? and does it work with PDAL?

Thanks Magdy your procedure working fine
THANKS A LOT

For windows VISTA => C:\Users\YOUR ACOUNT\AppData\Local\Temp\is-KT0IV.tmp
Thanks for your post Magdy ! Works 100%
Greets from Romania !

Sorry for going off topic but my intentions are just to inform you guys that I just finished translating Chinese WM6 rom to English, I also added some packages and tweaked it to perform batter...
I made this rom for myself as I was unable to find and Eng WM6 rom for my PDAL and WM5 was out dated, but I also wanted to share it with you guys so that you can also enjoy using English WM6 on your PDAL devices.
So follow me.... PDAL_WM6_WWE_CellSmith.zip

same problem error 270 image corrupted

try to do it from SD card. how?
Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract (http://www.cabextract.org.uk/) .
Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
Make sure your SD has FAT32 and has no label. There have been reports that if SD has a label the bootloader can not access the TRINIMG.nbh

If you have Error 270 use splxploit.
It will help!

I test with SD card,when I start the bootloader :
I have a loading message and after 2 sec I have this famous 4 colors

I have the same problem occured since I flashed the ROM on my PPC. Error message was showed 270. I am very afraid my PPC was damaged or not. But I downloaded the factory ROM to my computer and then used the said method to connect PPC to computer, and then flashed the factory ROM into my PPC. It resume normal. It's my experience on today.
Hope this can help yours'.

finally i've made it. i will write to you all the steps after i get home, i'm at work now.

I've got the solution for you!
error 270=start block!
copy in memory and open it with filexplorer.
after that you can star the ROM upgrade,but I suggest you SPL Upgrade (like Olipro 1.30) before!
Trust me becouse I had the same error end I have cherched everywhere.
This's the only solution for me!

Guys, magic word is HARD-spl...
Please install hard-spl before flash (you have to do it only once).
Step manually to bootloader before flash.
You will not get error 270!
You will not get error 246!
You will not need sspl!

Asus P750 - upgrade to VGA - How stable??

I saw the thread on this forum about the VGA ROM for the P750...
Unfortunately I am not an expert at all and perhaps maybe not the right place here for me to ask but here it goes,
Can I easily install and remove the ROM in case the the VGA patch starts bugging? and how do you install the ROM, is there are step by step manual floating around?
any feedback greatly appreciated!
bras

Hi, I did install the VGA ROM vers. 1.02 by Sorg & GreatVK and also tried the 0.17 by Sorg.
I didn't link the dual-mode keyboard (RUS-US) of the 0.17 and I think it has a higher memmory comsumition. So, I prefered the 1.02.
The 1.02 is stable, and the only problem I noticed is about the Live Messenger that do not works. The VGA screen is realy better!!!
If you do not like, you can install other dumped ROM or one of those you can find at asus website.
To install de Dumped: put the .nb0 file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + down + power + reset.
To install de Shipped: put the .cap file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + up + power + reset.
Here both methods works finte.

ok thanks alot

Depends, if your ROM is avaiable at Asus site you dont. Mine was WWE UK, there has just WWE SG, TH and MS at asus site. I restored my to SG with no broblems, just did the forced mode 1st and after coud do the normal one.
Wich ROM is currenty on your device (settings/ system / system information / version)?

I am running the VGA 0.17 Base and am very happy with it, only the Keybaord Thing drives me crazy and CoolCamera is a bit crappy......... But once you have seen the VGA, believe me you dont want to go back to QVGA. Also WM6.1 more stable in my Opinion than WM6.0 and few nice Things like a real Taskmanager......... attached a screenshot !!

I am using ROM version 4.8.4 NLD_NL00? is that for the Netherlands?

To install de Dumped: put the .nb0 file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + down + power + reset........................
how hard can this be?
I installed 1.02 by Sorg & GreatVK file but when I (try) to press all 4 buttons above a screen comes up saying
Flashrom Update.....
IPL: iplPegP_4H3
but nothing really happens
what s going wrong? how u press all these buttons together?

Right Hand on Voice Button and Slider, left hand on J/Stick Press Reset w Stylus using your mouth....... Remember when flashing from SD Card only plug-in Cable after this...
Also for Cap File J/stick up and for nbo File J/stick up.....

sorry for this long message but I need to get this device running VGA along with another 3 collagues who will be operating the same device
to flash ROM/install the VGA patch ::
On the Asus mobile club it is explained as:
The way the first - with MicroSD card
1)take (preferably clean, just formatted) MicroSD card no more than 2GB (MiniSDHC PODOYDET NOT!) And copy it, the root, file PegasusP.nb0
2) present the card into the phone, the phone or connect to a computer or to power supply.
3)joystick down and slide the button to switch off the top Hold these buttons in a position to release and push briefly reset (now come in such rastopyrku ASUS!).We continue to hold the button until butbloka server It shall commence proceedings firmware
ok so installing the root folder which is thiS? My MicroSD folder is completely empty and how do I know it s not HC?
for the record, the joystick button needs to pressed down or up? manual above says down, you say up!
thanks for yr help

it seems to work now to some extent
in the boot menu it says ' PEGASUS NBO not found'
I checked in mobile explorer, the file is sitting there..
coulld it not work because my p750 is running on a Dutch ROM??? (the WM language is Dutch witch is not changeable it seems)

Copy The File PegasuP.nb0 to the just formatted Card, remember you must format FAT16 !! and then it should find it.......

Oh the the Card will say HC on it if it is !! To flash to another Asus OEM Rom (like WWE English) put the AsusP750.cap File on the Card and do the same Procedure only push the Joystick UP, then it will ask to be plugged into either USB or Charger Cable, after you do this the Boot will start. Then extract the the whole OEM Firmware onto the Card and upgrade again.

Alternate ways to load "PegasusP.nb0" ROMS
Hi all, just want to post something I found on this particular forum. Would help in loading of "PegasusP.nb0"

Hi All,
Will the above describe procedure force-load a ROM that is from a different region than the original ROM? There are some new 6.1 WWE ROMs on the ASUS website, but I can't get them to load since my phone is not from any of the regions available.
Has anyone tried the new ROMs? Any recommendations?

My FSC-n560 is bricked. Help please!

Hi!
I was using Newplow's WM6 038 ROM with my N560.
Yesterday I tried to write another ROM(WM6 038 with 8MB pagepool) but during update got an error.. It said it just failed.
Now my N560 is stuck on booting screen(people climbing mountain..)
I tried Warm, Cold, Hard reset but with no luck.
Even the power button doesn't work so I had to remove battery. When I insert battery it powers on by itself.
I can enter bootloader screen by pushing power+record button so I tried to copy rom image file to SD card but it doesn't work.
I tried two ROMs(OS_213U.nbf from Original WM5 ROM and Newplow's) and 3 SD Cards(2GB SD, 1GB MicroSD with Adopter, 16GB SDHC)
Is there any recovery tutorial in bootloader mode?
Help me please!
Sorry for my English.

Have you tried flashing a ROM through the computer rather than the memory card? Try going into bootloader and flashing that way rather than the card.

The pagepool ROM is meant for N560s that have been upgraded to 128Mb RAM... have you upgraded the internal RAM to 128Mb? If you have not, then this may have caused your problem.
I had this problem when flashing to 038 normal RAM (from 035). A hard reset reset to the normal start screen, but nothing worked. However, trying a new burn with the Loox flash tool restarted the process and it worked. I found the cure was to make sure you hard reset the N560 before doing a burn. It appears to be that you have to do this to release enough RAM for the burn program to reside and for "working" storage. You may not have done this.
I suggest you try simply re-running the flashtool with SD/SDHC cards removed, battery in place, on the cradle via your PC, even though it appears stuck. The signals coming from the USB link may wake up the bootloader routine in the N560?

Solved the problem! Thanks for your comments!
I asked same question in Newplow's guestbook and the person who made pagepool rom answered. I used MTTY to revive my pda.
What I did is in below post. need translation
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=55274

Hi all,
I have the same problem. N560 is stick on the himalaya picture. I tried to falsh from WM5 to new rom for Wm6 and after installation the pda stuked. So I did a warm reset and now only the start picture is apperaing. Problem is that battery is down now.
Can someone give more info on the process followed to revive the PDA ? I just cannont read russian (may be Jinsu77 ?)
Many thanks for support in advance

same problem here please please please someone help us
the only thing i can do is the l c:\os_213u.nbf on mtty program and nothing else happend to the machine
sorry for my english

read, and pay attention here:
[email protected]@p://a.mod-site.net/gb/u/newplow-1.html
POST 203.

It was me asking on Newplow's guestbook.
In case you're using Vista, you need some trick to be able to rom update. Read below.
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...u-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/
And then you need to download MTTY (I used version 1.42, got it by googling) and follow below steps.
(used google translation from 4pda.ru)
------------------------------------------------------------
For rom update without ActiveSync.
1) take this set of extract, copy it to the folder with the firmware.
2) copy the file os_213u.nbf example in C: \
3) You press the button Recorder + food and poke in the hole reset (Recorder button and hold until you eat dolphins)
4) plug the device to a PC, the Task Manager, shooting process - wcescomm.exe
5) Run mtty, choose Port: USB, connect.
6) If mtty caused an error and shut down, simply restart mtty, if not typed commands, then repeat the procedure with paragraph 3.
7) in mtty command, enter: (first letter in kommande - a little l l от слова from the word L L oad)
> l l c:\os_213u.nbf c: \ os_213u.nbf
Since the end of the process will be an inscription about the error, remove the device from the PC.
9) Run rom update, zhmete "next", until you see dolphins.
10), plug the device to a PC and program.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this helps you all

in advance sorry for my english
I am doing all the instructions carefully and the mtty show this
Image Download Finish

have you closed EVERY process of activesync before proceding with mtty?

I close the wcescomm.exe and the rapimgr.exe is there anything else?

The pocket LOOX 5xx FlashTool cant connect with the N560 and at the and says that Error"The language in this Flash Image update (ENGLISH) differs from that on your device()!" and i have always english rom exept maybe from the last rom "the killer" with the 128MB rom that i dont know if it is an english or something else because the device never opens to see

After flashing in MTTY(don't care about error messages), you need to unplug your n560 from PC. And then proceed romupdate until you see the dolphin picture. Now you plug n560 to PC and cilck next and wait for a while.. Hope it works!

I change the language of the rom and it works
thank very much all of you

At all they have Probs with flash from SD Card: only use a Card with 512MB! I think a Card greater then can't read by the Bootloader....

hey.
i am compeletly new here. I have the same with my n560. I tried to upgrade to 128mb but after restart I see only climbing. I tried everything here but on dolphins afterr line is blue it is finished. that I am unpluging device. starting looxflastool for 560 and first is trying to connect by active sync and that when no connection made I see dolphins on left screen of flash tool window. than I am pluging again and after couple secs I see that: Error"The language in this Flash Image update (ENGLISH) differs from that on your device. I tried to change rom on every language but not working as well. PLEASE HELP

if that helps than i will add than on top when delfins i see on 560 is two lines. first is typed 2.14.G4 on second directly below is 2.15.
and when mtty 1.42 finishing flashing i see following:

Download Fails !!!
OEMFlashWrite error(12)

Need help!!! Please!!!
I bricked my N560. I tried to downgrade from WM6 to WM5 and now I see only delfins and in the first line "2.14.G4" and in the second line "2.15"
What can I do?? How can I flash WM6 or WM5 ROM when there is no connection to the PDA????

You can usually get back to the boot loader if you do a hard reset. I am sure you know how, if not you will find it in the FSC CDROM manual that came with the device. Let us know if this works? I have got stuck at this point too, so I know it works..... hopefully!

HTC Diamond ROM Updating problem - ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDOR ID

Hi, tried to use search and found a lot of information about that problem, but non of them solved my problem.
So, i have HTC Diamond (P3700) (ROM: 1.93.479.3.WWE, Radio: 1.00.25.05, Protocol: 52.29.25.12H, S/N: HT841GN13099)
Tried download latest ROM version from official website (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483), but when i wrote my S/N i got error message - Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
If i'll trying to download earlier ROM version (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=2) with the same S/N I haven't any problem (of course and can install it).
Also I tried to download all ROM version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699, but when installing these ROM I always get an error - ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDER ID
In other thread I found link to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem3, but when I was falling all instructions I get an error again (but now problem was with connection)
Also I wrote a letter to HTC support twice, but I didin't get any response
So maybe I can find somewhere S/N decoder to know more information about my phone (for e.gd phone was locked, or belonged to other operator?) and why I have problem when updating to the latest ROM version. Does anybody can suggest other solution to this problem?

You are unable to download the official rom from htc as your phone obviously was supplied by an operater who has put their own rom on it.
You need to proceed with a Hard-SPL if you wish to change ROM.
It sounds like you have an operater ROM so it's blocking your changing of the ROM to anything non-operater.
Read the wiki section for the Diamond here , especially the section : Upgrading / cooking / flashing.
with this section that clearly explains all you need to know about applying a Hard-SPL : Diamond Hard-SPL

Thanks for your advices.
When I bought that phone seller didn't mention that this phone belongs to some operator. So is it possible to get information to witch operator it belongs (phone doesn't have any operator brands on his self, and isn't any special application or images in it).
And one more time... is it realy possible that phone belongs to operator... because like I wrote before that i can download and install earlier ROM from official web site, but problem is only with the latest ROM.

Perhaps the download doesn't work as many people had problems installing the latest rom ? It would reboot into the bootscreen & block.
Maybe they have the download until they know why it screws up (but works perfect via an internal flash).
Dunno though, as it's weird you getting the 'operater' message.
Anyway, you can get the latest official rom in here, so you'll be able to flash your device.
Here's the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699

Just flash it from the internal storage. Works fine. Extract the setup with winrar or something, then you will see 2 files - one approx 140Mb, the other one like 2Mb. Rename the big one to Diamimg.nbh and copy it to your internal storage.
* Soft Reset + Hold volume down button + back button <----
* Follow instructions on screen

Hi, tried to use search and found a lot of information about that problem, but non of them solved my problem.
So, i have HTC Diamond (P3700) (ROM: 1.93.479.3.WWE, Radio: 1.00.25.05, Protocol: 52.29.25.12H, S/N: HT841GN13099)
Tried download latest ROM version from official website (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483), but when i wrote my S/N i got error message - Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
If i'll trying to download earlier ROM version (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=2) with the same S/N I haven't any problem (of course and can install it).

Read here where it says "stops at 5% or invalid model id:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425
Next think about HardSPL.

1.93.479.3 if you had this rom in your device, and you tried to download from HTC Support site and get the "This is rom isnt for your device" you get this because there are NO 2.03.479.3 rom the BOLD tells you what region rom u are using. And If you download another rom and try to flash and get "invalid vendor" you MUST hard-spl your device, after that you can flash every rom you can find an example of region rom, I have put this at least 4 times now so people try o understand what i meen when speaking of region roms.

Thanks everyone for advices!
First i tried Kevbodian recommended method. Downloaded OliPro's NBH Util and tried rebuild NBH file, but program generates only empty file (0Kb - size), maybe it doesn't work in Windows 7 So I'm fail.
Then tried laser21 method and succeed! I downloaded Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2312363&postcount=2), installed them, and made everything step by step like he wrote.
Phone works seams fine, but maybe a little bit slower , so I'm tried reinstall ROM one more time, but do that in standard way. Just downloaded _RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699) and ran it. Everything was fine (installation pass 100%) but than it shows - ERROR [270] - UPDATE ERROR, phone also restarted and shows information in red/green/blue/white background.
In red space
Code:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
In green space
Code:
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
Upgrade ROM code error
Place try again
So one more time I made like laser21 recommended - and phone works again. But can I do something more that latter update i can do in standard way ?

I'm not sure what you mean by:

But...If you are upgrading the ROM or Radio please use this highly recommend way.
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache

I did everything like you (and laser21) wrote. But now i have problem when updating ROM in standart way - downloading official ROM exe file, and ran it (like I wrote before, after 100% proceed it display error that update unsucceed)
So why now I can't update ROM in standard way, maybe is solution to fix that problem ?
