you get the upgrade files from www.my-xda.com not from microsoft....
re-do the upgrade dude.... goodluck... check out DCS's thread about upgrading
i upgraded (and switched languages in the process) my girlfriend's iMate 2k2 ( a.k.a. XDA2/MDA2) by flashing with an upgrade from my cellular provider.
the first time, things went wrong and I saw USB and some weird junk on the screen.
panicking, i decide to try it again.
this time it erased everything, and crashed when it came to 15 percent of the writing part.
REALLY spooked, i tried it a third time, and sat in front of the laptop to prevent a screensaver or hard-drive-spindle-down from happening, and the upgrade went smoothly.
it was a boring 45 minutes, occasionally jiggling the mouse to keep the computer alive, but it worked.
so try and try again
Thx All For Help
i've read a post by DCS a after that all went smooths for my noob knowledge ...the 3 button reset hlp me alot cu guys ..and HF!
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.
Regards,
fdp24
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
get the JTAG pins for me, I will send you soft.
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............

SD card removed?
remove your SD card
USB board
you may have been not so carefully with the USB connection contact of the phone, or you ahve charged the phone at car while you were starting the car engine..some guys repaired this in service, or it passes by itself.
at me i tried different days and different softs ... and i did i, i got the same error.

After searching this forum, this came up:

Title: USPL - 100% Working in vista

7. After switching the drivers plug your artemis again and install USPL, there should be no more problems with connection lost (errors 260, 270)​
Suggest you read that thread, hopefully it solves your problem.
After spending many months waiting for the official WM6.1 ROM...
After following the firmware upgrade instructions explicitly (including the notes on Vista)...
I now have a bricked 9502!
The phone just simply tells me to reconnect and try and run the upgrade again immediately after it is powered on. (That doesn't work) I've been searching high and low for a method to reload the firmware.
As anyone who has dealt with iMate knows - their support is worse then useless. Its infuriating! (If you ever do get connected to their online support, they will simply disconnect the session if they don't have a quick answer)
...anyway...
I have the IMAGEFR.mbn and CP.mbn files extracted from the install set and copied to an SD card installed in the unit. I just can't find any info on how to get the phone to load the two firmware files from the card at boot time. (I'm pretty sure the USB connection is going to be useless).
Beware: All this may be due to the fact that Vista-64 wasn't a supported update environment (although the ReadMe specifically gave instructions for Vista - it did not specify 32 or 64).
Help is appreciated!

I've read many posts around stating that upgrading WM devices through Vista has proven to be a nigthmare for a lot of devices.
If possible, try to get a WinXP equipped machine, and perform the SW upgrade there normally (i.e. by clicking on the EUM SFX executable file on the PC).
You see, I upgraded mine through my XP lappy, and the process simply ran flawlessly.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!
Carlos
the problem is not in the vista, i flash using vista ultimate and no problem, u can unbrick by
pressing fn button and call (green) button then press the reset button, without let the 2 previous button go until u can see the imate logo or hard reset message.
I hope this can help.
thanks a lot i have unbricked my imate
thanks a lot by your code buttons i have unbricked my i mate
Hey guys. After many frustrated days searching for a solution to "The timer ran out on what we were trying to do.", I found today an official solution posted by Microsoft.
So, for those with either:
800705B4: The timer ran out on what we were trying to do.
OR
80180080: We couldn't update your phone because your operating system might be corrupt.
search for "WPSupportTool" in google (Article ID: 2530409) and download for your Windows PC. (Sorry; can't post links!)
This is the best solution so far to update without erasing/reseting your phone. Enjoy!
From their article:
"Try using the Windows Phone Support Tool. The Windows Phone Support Tool is an application that fixes problems that prevent your Windows Phone 7 from updating successfully. The tool only works for the two error codes listed in the Symptoms section."
How can I use the WP Support Tool on Leo - HD2 > it doesn't have "camera button"
I've also been stuck with 800705B4 for months now. Very frustrating.
I believe I've tried everything...
I can't even unlock my SD card because I also get the 800705B4 error when I try to send the unlocker file via cab sender.
Well, I guess we just have to hope until there's a fix for the 800705B4 on HD2
if i use this tool (WPSupportTool) is it going to erase my phone ?
what about interop-unlock ? am i going to loose it ?
i'll really appreciate your answers
Erase phone: REALLY?? Read the first post:
"This is the best solution so far to update without erasing/reseting your phone."
Remove interop-unlock: highly unlikely, although a few updates do that for anybody.
The obvious answer is make sure you have a backup/restore point (if possible) so you can roll back if something gets messed up.
