Hi all,
I have been trying to check out the forum here, to try and solve my problem, I literally bought my JASJAR today, and it was giving some wierd behaviour. In an attempt to reload the software (I prefere to reload the entire ROM), something went wrong, now all thats on my screen is "USB" and a lil lower down "v1.01".
ActiveSync obviously not connecting now bcos the OS is not on the JASJAR no more, in my device manager is a "Microsoft USB Sync" under my mobile devices.
I downloaded what I am guessing is WM6, 'JASJAR_WWE_20106_20301_11300_wwe_ship' from another thread in this forum, tried to load that but cant communicate with device cos no activesync.
I have tried the different reset options, like the 2 function keys and the reset on the back, I push 0 to clear, and then it jus goes back to the USB v1.01 thing.
I am running windows vista home basic, with the Windows Mobile Device Center, it synced perfectly with this software, communicated properly with the update tool, until my device reset and activsync lost connection, then i was stuffed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like it is your first time with the upgrade. What you are seeing on the screen is the bootloader, which is what we use for flashing new ROMs.
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (how come you have both on Vista?) will therefore not respond. This is fine, because we use a different program to load the new ROMs.
If you look at the folder you downloaded, chances are that there should be a program called "ROMUpgradeUt" or something similar. Provided that you have not changed anything in the folder, you should be able to flash the new ROM by simply following the instructions in the program.
You can also read this link for more information: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Here is an instruction guide on ROM upgrading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118
how come you have both on Vista?
Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I have both, I recently moved to Vista, and am used to calling it activesync and not WMDC.
Thanks, will have a look
Ok, well I have got it up and running again, only problem now is activsync keeps freezing when I try and sync the device...any ideas?
I landed up using my work computer, which has XP on it, and then used MTTY and that connected fine, on Vista it simply didnt wanna work.
I ran the utility for those 'stuck on serial/usb', and that fixed it. Now I would like to load up WM6, but it keeps getting communication failures.
Thanks for the help guys....I got it working...running on WM6 now...whoo!!
Ok I searched on the forums hard for this one so forgive me if this has already been answered. I see to find people with Windows Mobile 6 and Windows XP or people with Windows Vista but Windows Mobile 5.
Since I'm running Vista, I use Windows Mobile Device Center instead of ActiveSync. The functionality of the program is fine, so I have no complaints. However, to upgrade ROMs or anything...I use an XP Machine as it seems Vista seems to think the device disconnects upon the loading of the bootloader. I've read somewhere in the forums that there is a driver update to fix that, but after applying...WMDC doesn't work properly...so I'd save the trouble and use a machine that has XP running instead until a better fix comes along.
My 8525 came stock with a program called Wireless Modem as of ROM 1.34.502.1 shipped, which seems to have been replaced by Internet Sharing.
The Wireless Modem application worked fine after setting up the modem with the Vista driver also found in the forums. I also tested the bluetooth connection and set that up to tether as well and it worked fine.
I finally decided to upgrade after days of reading and I tried to use the Wireless Modem feature. I noticed it wasn't there and tried to use Internet Sharing. The layouts are similar...but when I hook up the phone under USB, my computer doesn't even recognize it as a new device (modem) as I did uninstall the last driver.
When connected via Bluetooth, it recognized the device and installed the driver as Windows Mobile-based device support by default. Under services, only Active Sync is only available...as opposed to before when I had Dial-Up networking available. When I set up a PAN, the computer and device are connected together, however I do get the same problem as some others with a connection that is limited or local only. So the tethering is unsuccessful.
I recently upgraded my Cingular 8525 to WM6BE v1.2 (Cingular Edition)...which I can't seem to find in the threads anymore. I'm also running Radio 1.38.00.11...but I don't think that would affect anthing. I reverted back to my shipped ROM to check for alternate settings that might have helped...then I was going to revert back to WM6BE v1.2 Cingular...then I realized I accidently deleted that custom ROM and I couldn't find it anymore. I was stuck putting on the WM6BE v1.2 on the sticky thread after which forced me to reinstall the data settings/keyboard fix from the cab files. Haven't had problems with them but I did like that customized ROM for Cingular a little better considering I really like "clean" ROMs.
Anyway, I'm attempted to connect via MEdia Net AND Cingular GPRS settings provided by the Cingular Data Settings cab floating around the forums. It works fine it seems...it just seems like the problem is getting Vista to recognize the device as a modem, or at least having modem capabilities.
I guess thats as detailed as I can get right now. Hopefully someone can help now ^_^
You are right. I tried updating rom on Vista's Windows mobile Device and end up damaging my xda2i. The device displays "USB" when connected to cradle and "Serial v1. 01" when not. Do you have a solution apart from upgrading?
Solution on Vista
Hello Guys, I'm running vista too and I bothered 2 hours before getting it done.
So this is one of the "Step-By-Step Instruction Guides".
0. Extract the attached file into a directory of your choice
1. Disconnect your Device
2. Goto Settings > Connections and choose "USB To PC"
3. Uncheck the option there
4. Reconnect your Device
5. Goto your DeviceManager and search for "HTC USB Sync", double click it and choose Drivers
6. Click on the "Update Driver"-Button and choose search on the computer
7. Click "Choose a driver from list..."
8. Click the button to the right (Open from Media)
9. Choose any INF File from the extracted ones.
10. You're done, upgrade your ROM.
11. To Rollback drivers, use the "Automatic Update" instead of Manually selecting (it will choose the newest ones)
12. Recheck the option of step 2 unless you're planning to use the slow variant.
Have Phun and Good Luck
Have I understand right? With this tweak We will be able to applied ROM upgrades to our HERMES from windows VISTA?
Confirmed.
I did already update my ROM in this way.
Cheers,
soniX
EDIT:
Please use HardSPL or something equal to be sure the risk is at a minimum.
And I can not be held responsible for any damage to your Hermes or your Brain
But as I said, for me it worked perfectly, remember to Restore the new Drivers or the Mobile Device Center will not work.
Hmm I don't think you people understand what I was asking...
I already know about that method to update with Vista...I actually tried it yesterday and for some reason it didn't work so I just use an XP Machine for now...but I was just asking merely about TETHERING.
I already have the ROMs of my choice loaded on my device.
In simpler words: How do I go about tethering (Running Internet Sharing) when my computer does not recognize the device as a modem...through USB or Bluetooth.
I'm running WM6BE v1.2 and Windows Vista Ultimate.
Maybe its Wm6BE, but I have used all the other roms (xda live, des, lsvw) and all I do is plug in the usb, start internet sharing and it connects no problem. Have to start internet sharing before wmdc starts. Internet Sharing works great, better than wireless modem. I was not able to use the WM6be due to problems with sbp pocket plus. I am currently using XDA live .30 and Vista Ultimate.
Does the technique in the post above work??
Also once that procedure is carried out can rom updates and RUU programs be used exactly the same as on XP??
If anyone is available to do some screenshots for me for an updated GUIDE, please PM me (i dont use or have a copy of vista )
I enjoy the community so I think I'll do my best to contribute to it. When I get the chance, I'll try to make a guide with screenshots on using Windows Vista and loading WM6.
I'm going to try to switch to LVSW build with his new update today and I'll see how that works out.
I REALLY like the one custom build someone made (I forgot who) with the Cingular connection settings defaulted from the Cingular Shipped ROMs...I wish I can find those files again.
It seems like the people developing the new Cingular data connection cab files are really working hard at getting the default settings as if they just bought their phoes straight from Cingular.
I'll let you know how LVSW goes with Internet Sharing and Windows Vista

Also, I've seen this guide posted twice...yours missing one step where I was supposed to "End WMDC.exe Process in Task Manager"
I still can't get Vista to run RUU...do you run the RUU with your device in Bootloader? I think I even tried that once and and still couldn't get it to work with the older Driver.
Not exactly sure what I'm missing or doing wrong...but its definitely after I install the driver. It acts as if I didn't install it at all, even if I check in drive details and its all correct in there.
i tried the method above for upgrading in vista and it didnt work for me...
what am i missing?
Where is it stopping?
Because I did it once, it has to work.
Where is it stopping? - At the bootloader (LSD-Screen with psychedelic colors ?) - or before ?
I will do an upgrade in the afternoon again and this time i will record ALL of my steps.
Hopefully I'll find the recept for the cake.
Cheers,
soniX
Yea it gets to the bootloader screen and I'm stuck as if I never loaded the AS4.5 drivers.
Sorry, too less time today for a screenshot-decorated guide.
I just upgraded my device again (only to proove it does work).
So here is again a guide, which differs to the first one.
I guess there are two ways to do this...
Prequesites:
- Search my previous post and download the USBAS.zip-File
- Extract it into a directory...
- You'll need your device and it has to be connected, too
The first approach:
Change the Serial-Driver
- On the device click Start > Settings, choose "Connections" there and click on "USB to PC"
- uncheck the item for "Enhanced..." there
- Click on OK.
- Now goto your Device Manager.
- Search an Item named "HTC USB Sync".
- Right-click it and choose "Update Driver".
- Choose the second option, then select to choose manually
- Select the directory where the zip has been extracted to and choose any inf file.
Start the Update-Tool
- After the driver-update you need to set the device back to RNDIS-Mode (follow Step 1 and recheck the option)
- Verify that you're running the correct drivers for the RNDIS-Device, the date in the device-manager has to be around January, 17th 2007.
- Start the ROM-Upgrade.
- It should work now.
For me it did not really work to switch from RNDIS to USB-Serial drivers in my localized (thanks bepe for the great work!) german WM6.
So if you have a problem with the first method use this one.
- Start your Device-Manager, we have to be very fast.
- Start the ROM-Upgrade as you've probably done before
- If the bootloader starts up, you'll notice a device/dettached,device/attached sound, this is your sign, goto to you Device-Manager.
- Search for the Entry "HTC USB Sync".
- Update drivers like it's written above.
- If it won't work and the upgrade tool dies with "cannot connect", don't worry. Reset your device (soft) and try again, this time you should not need to update the drivers.
Cheers,
soniX
I'm using XP and a USB cable. USed to work OK before upgrading to WM6 Black but now I get Error 797 on the PC saying modem not found or busy!

Take a look here
Code:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977
For Vista guide with screen shots, so far i've only flashed HardSPLv4 from inside Vista, but it worked i'm still plucking up enough courage to do a full flash of WM6
Nic
I do this (for Hard-SPL, don't know for other):
I have made what it was written on modaco (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977), but
1) I was not in bootloader.
2) While active sync try to connect (but it does not succeed because they are not its driver) I've stopped WMDC.EXE and now hermes is connected.
3) NOW I do a flash.
If there is something that is not clear you say it to me.
My method also works (for me)
Can somebody confirm that my method works for vista?
soniX
I'm based also to your method, but it would be more complete to integrate it with the method on modaco.
It seems that most people didn't get the point of this thread...weird considering I put TETHERING in the subject line. However, it is nice to see people trying to help others with Vista to flash. I have the same problem myself but access to machines with XP nullify my real need for flashing on Vista for now.
I'm about to reinstall LVSW's latest ROM set for the billionth time and I'll try out tethering on that. It seems that people who were on WM6BE were having a hard time with Internet Sharing. I'll load a new rom and let you know how it goes.
I’m happy to share with you the Arabic support files for the HTC S620 device. Unzip the attached files and install the two cab files, that’s it.
Good Luck.
Thanks anaq8i
Arabic programs
Hi,
Here is useful Arabic programs cab.
Take care
it didnt work , can u illsturate more please..
Arabic Files for HTC S620
Hi,
Here is the full list with instruction file. You need to follow installation instruction and feedback.
Thanks
does it work with wm5? does the phone need to be unlocked? i can see the arabic letters but they are backwards. the arabic software says" cannot run on your device". i have t-mobile dash (htcS620 ) and windows mobile 5.
How can I put other languages?
Thanks
Yeshai
i tried doing installing both methods several times, its never worked for me. every time i install it and restart the phone, it never boots to the home screen, it just reboots over and over.
i have the t-mobile dash with windows mobile 6
any suggestions?
The arabizer software does work with WM5.
does the phone need to be unlocked? anaq8i?
ill reinstall windows mobile 5 on the dash and try installing it again, but it sucks that i cant get it to work with windows mobile 6, but then again, i more or less just wanna see some arabic script on a smartphone for once! anyway i think i found another method to be able to display arabic text on windows mobile 6, but i wont have time to test it out til later
callmerani, did it work for windows mobile 5? and which files did u install? thx also both arabizers install sucessfuly but the software says cannot run and the arabic letters are read backwards and they are disconnected. i tried these on wm6 but it just crashed my phone so i know that i can make it work on wm5. when i install the arabizer suite it says (translated from arabic backwards) this program is made for a previous version than windows mobile 5
i installed it now on a t-mobile dash windows mobile 5. arabic text finally showed up, but often it was backwards and the letters were not connected. most of the programs that came with it also didnt work, and i couldnt send txt msgs nor type in arabic. also, none of the secondary symbols worked while typing, like the one's u normally access by pressing alt. also, looking through the software, it is obvious it was meant for a pocket pc, not a smartphone.
My phone is an HTC s620, not branded to any carrier and no unlocking to do.
callmarani....here same problem ..is there a way i can format it of fix it ?
I am stuck too with this stupid SW! I need to get the hell out of this ARABIC DEAL!!! it missed up my phone
callmerani it seems that me and you have the same problem. we see the letters backwards and disonnected.
has anyone tried this?
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=20118
it is made for windows mobile 5 but the demo wouldnt install on my phone for some reason
all of u guys have problems. so does anyone read arabic?? or u guys are just testing and searching . coz this matter is getting me nuts !! either it reads arabic or i go back to my N80 nokia .
HTC S621
none of the programs listed here worked with mine. After unzipping and installation, the phone displays Arabic letters backwords and detached. My HTC S621 is running WM 5.0.
Thought of sharing this.
thank you
i guess we just have to wait until a compatible software is released
I decided to tell something about my experience today about these Error numbers while Upgrading my Hermes (T-Mobile MDA VARIO II) .
Dear friends….i read Upgrading instuguidances again and again but there is a gold issue I did not notice untill today.
whenever I put my PPC into Boot Loader Mode and connect it to PC to upgrading these Errors appear immediately and I was in trouble what those errors are.
It checked the cable or some different Official ROMs but in fact I noticed all growth from Windows.
Yeah…
I am in winder why Microsoft does not make it possible upgrading PPC over Windows XPSP3 !!!
Whenever I run RUUWarpper on Windows XP Service Pack 3 these errors shown while I was sure about correct cable and correct ROM and ….
Sooo I want to share it to all peoples this gold notice :
Upgrading PPC is just possible on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
not Windows XPSP3 nor Windows Vista.
I think it is good for someone else that search and find these Topic in database of this nice/great Forum if same problem has appeared to him.
Here is some pictures of those errors & some proof if is required.
Mate, there has been a heap of threads on how to upgrade with Vista. It Works.
I have, on occasion, upgraded my Hermes on Win XP SP3 successfully. If it doesn't work for you, try the sd card method, you have to install Hard SPL V7 first, I tend to use this method more as it seems safer to me... Especially for the radio rom.
All you need to do is search and you should find the answers you seek...
Cheers...
So really can you Upgrade your Hermes on Win XP SP3 successfully?
you mentioned some keywords but could you please show me those links exactly how to upgrade our Hermes on XP SP3 too?
I think this forum is so noisy i can not find it myself.
I really need Upgrade HERM300 (T-Mobile MDA Vario II) on XP SP3 on my Laptop.
its boot loader shows IPL-1.04 & SPL-2.10.olipro
is it enough or not?
about 1 hours after reading your post I tried again upgrading on XP SP3 and put it on Boot Loader but nothing. (above Errors had shown again and again)
i would be appreciate if you show us that useful links (upgrading over XP SP3 normaly like XP SP2 successfuly)
Mate, as you have Hard SPL installed (SPL 2.10) try this instead...
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy the .nbh file of the rom you want onto it and rename to "hermimg.nbh".
2. Put sd card into Hermes and reset to bootloader - power, OK and reset with stylus.
3. When prompted hit the power button to flash new rom.
Just make sure you have 50% or more battery though.
I find this method the easiest way of flashing roms as there is no real involvement of the PC except to format sd card and copy the .nbh file across. You'll get no sync errors, have no worries about resets/blackouts ar the usb cable being pulled. About the only ways to stuff this up is to reset in the middle of a flash or to have a flat battery.
Cheers...

Yes you can upgrade it in XP SP3. Do you have .net installed in the pc? If you dont, then you will be getting errors too.

Yes.
.NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 is installed on my XP SP3 shows on Add/Remove Programs on Control Panel.
I am sure.
and by your accepting we can upgrade PPC on XP SP3 , I resolute and will search and search again to find any solution why i get those errors on XP SP3 while you both told me upgrading is possible.
dear friends ,Thanks for your communion.
What you experienced was what I just did went thru
Had the same thoughts with the problem, I get Error [264], I also thought the CID-unlock issue. Tried many ways to get thru but fail in the end. Well yea, your piece of notes enlighten me. I will try on XP SP 2 and below, gotta find the machine some where first
Thanks for this post.

dear ferioz...
after those days passed what about your siuation?
has your problem solved using Windows XP Service Pack 2 ?
did you find any System running XP SP2 and try upgrading your PPC ?
If you have trouble with the pc, try the SD card method. Easier and I believe safer too as no-one accidently resets the pc in the middle of a flash. This method is a MUST when upgrading Radio ROMs...
For the PC though, you might need to update your .net framework to 3.5.
Cheers...
dear ultramag69...
You recommened this safely nice upgrading method and wrote a how to on this post and I love it and thank for suggest it.
I did not have enough time to upgrade and change my Hermes ROM recently from December 2008 so I did not try this method still cause PPC will go to Factory Default settings and programms installed will be ununstalled and I hate installing again and again.
anyway...
so Thanks for your nice answer and remind.
I suggest others try this method too instead of using PC running XPSP 2 specially this days mostly use Vista running Windows Mobile Device Center instead of XP running ActivSync.
I have had a HTC model of the Excalibur for almost a month now. The first day I had it I went to the Comm Manager #5 (I believe the Sync option) was grayed out. I have tried active sync on 2 different PC's XP/vista and my laptop XP SP3 non will sync. I cannot access the SD card for anything but pictures taken with the phone. The Pictures can only be deleted from removing the SD card and putting in my card reader and deleting them manually. I can't get WMP11 to sync. I charges from USB fine but nothing else.
Phone appears to be brand new.
Specs:
Model: DodpodC720W
ROM: 1.33.422.1
WM 6.1 Standard
CE OS 5.2.19700
I have hard reset the phone 2 times this did not do anything but reset my settings.
I getting ready to get rid of it as it is less useful than my old phone.
Can anyone help me at all. All I want to do is add programs and music to the dam phone. Thank you.
change rom...
hi there.. all you need to do is re flash your rom or upgrade to a diferent one... i use 6.5 evolution series and it is really cool
Well since this seems to be the only way I appreciate the help. How about the application unlocked? How do I find out it is already? How will I install if not since I can't load anything?
OK i would love to upgrade my rom. It appears as though I need my PC to recognize the phone. Am I wrong? I am a noob when it comes to smart phones but not PC hacking. Please help me and thanks.
look in the sticky at the top of the forum....you need to do the bootloader option....if you have upgraded to 6.1 already...then load your original factory rom through the bootloader, and then once you reconnect after the flash, you should be able to flash the rom of your choice
Thanks but the phone came with 6.1 suggestion on what rom to load as the factory rom Since the Dopod rom is gone? Is there a universal HTC rom since this is a factory Excalibur. Again noob thanks.
My master boot screen reads
Excalibur Wifi
ONBL 1.33.0000
OK I guess I will try the HTC WM5 rom. If it doesn't work will it brick my phone? If it will then I will just sell the piece of **it on Ebay!

Lol! It shouldn't brick your phone. If you are unsure if it is app unlocked, then run the app unlock procedures at the top of the forum in the first sticky. You won't damage anything running them on an already unlocked phone.
Or sell it to me for spare parts!
Ok thanks for the help. But how am I suppose to run applications that require Activesync??? It has never worked on this Phone. Charges fine through a usb connection. USBview shows no device connected in XP/vista on 2 PC's. HTC branded running a dodpod WM6 rom.
If this is a 6.1 ROM already try going to the settings/connection and select USB/PC. If there is an option for advanced functionality uncheck it.
Thank you but I have done this many times. Checked, Unchecked, Usb charging checked and Unchecked in all combinations. Turn off an on after each. Turn on all settings in comm manager as well as off.
At this point I am looking for a way to flash a Rom. I will be able to try a T-Mobile Dash WM5 rom and hope that works in some way or if I am even able to since the USB connection doesn't show. I don't understand why I would be able to charge but no error on connection or even that there is something plugged into any USB port front back or otherwise.
Check this thread out Matt. Might be just what you need. Good luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293387
This may sound silly but what OS are you using on your pc and what version of active sync are you using?
Thanks.
Active Sync 4.5 also tried an another version DL 5 separate times to check to make sure it wasn't a bad copy as I have read in the forums.
XP/Vista desktop XP Sp3 laptop XP Sp3 on girlfriends PC windows CE on my **ty UMPC (but didn't expect to see it sync to that).
All will charge the phone fine. None show that there is any thing plugged into the PC using USB view nothing in the Administrative tools show as being not installed. Tried 3 different usb cables all work fine with other items PSP old phone so on.
With XP you will need to use active sync 4.5, with vista active sync will not work, it requires another program (which I can not remember the name of right now).
Stick with one os for now and lets see what we can get going. I use Windows XP Pro with service pack 2 and active sync myself. I am not sure if SP3 may have broken something with this since I did not install it on any machine that I use with my phone.
You might want to consider the SD card flash procedure mentioned in a post above to update to a different rom. I am not sure I would go back to WM5 though, I would suggest another 6.1 rom or the new 6.5 rom and go from there.
Well that didn't do it.
Thanks finally got to try the SD flashing. No go!
1. Extracted all the files. (the TMO WM5 rom and the HTC factory.)
2. rename the .nbh file to EXCAIMG.nbh
3. Format sd card FAT 32 slow format.
4. Loaded only the nbh file only as well all files extracted.
5. Hold down the camera button and insert the usb as well as hold the camera button for 3 sec then press power.
Gives me checking the SD card but that is it nothing else.
Active sync. I doubt this will ever work if the phone doesn't show as being on any USB port in USB view
8125 & At&t tilt (friends phones) show as being plugged into a port.
I had my friend take a look at it. He has flashed his phones plenty and said sell the piece of **it.
Am I doing the SD flash correctly?
Any more Ideas before I sell it?

hmmm if you're gonna sell it i'll buy it from you. i need something extra to test roms on..if i can get it working. i don't believe phones are ever bricked beyond repair. if the hardware isn't broken then it is fixable.
Hazz, That's a truly odd situation.
So odd that I had the exact same thing happen to me just recently actually . I don't exactly know why it happens but I can tell you how I fixed it.
1- I hard resetted my fone (powering off the fone then turning it on holding the 2 soft keys and power button for no more than 2 seconds).
2- From that menu I reset to the default rom. I don't exactly remember the menu options but there should be a sticky somewhere in this fantastic forum.
3- After it returned to default, I was successfully able to connect to activesync (well, Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows 7/vista) and flash ookbas amazing 6.5 3v0lution rom.
you can find original roms here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726 once you pick which one you need (i used the t-mobile one) put ur phone in bootloader. turn ur phone off and press and hold the camera button then power button then insert ur usb. Flash your rom. Then app unlock it using SDAunlock at the bottom of the first post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718.
Then dowload the newest 3VO 6.5 rom at the top of the first post and flash it and love it.
