i got myself a jasjar couple days ago.
but the device keeps rebooting/reseting every 15min. or whatever.
so i tried to update the rom version with a more recent one.
however ... now my device doesn't do anything at all.
it's frozen at the bootloader if i'm correct.
only thing it displays is 'serial' at top of the screen and 'version 1.00' at the bottom.
i tried a hard reset, soft reset.... always ends up back at this screen.
could anyone plz help me?
Sounds like you just need to reflash your device. Use this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319838
Unpack the zip file and run the MaUpgradeNoID file.
---
i've done that. but the phone keeps rebooting.
just after spash screen the screen goes black.
is there a way to backup my current radio/ext rom etc.?? so i can restor?
i have the WM ultimate as suggested, but keeps rebooting.
i tried a hard reset, which sometimes helps.
but when i disconnect my charger/usb cable the phone goes off within a few secs.
i tried with 3 batteries, all result the same so can't be that i think.
As my understanding your device doesnt boot as long you are pluged to power isnt it? if I am right try this:
clean the contact point of your battery and contact clips on your device (golden clips) use a pcb board cleaner
lets say the power is at 90% but wouldn't boot.
but when connected with usb/power it does load, and needs to stay connected till the 'enter pin'-screen prompts.
i think this issue is related to an unstable mix of rom/ram/radio information.
after i tried some custom cooked images everything seems fine
I recently purchased two M88 Miphones from China (Windows Mobile 6.0 version). Both were supposed to be in English but when they were shipped to me, one was in English and the other Spanish. How can I change the language from Spanish to English? Or maybe I can install an entirely new English version of Windows Mobile 6.0? Can I extract the ROM from the English one and use it for the other (Spanish) one? Please help. Thanks.
It's great to find a way to install or restore the Windows on M88. My one just died. I haven't access to anything but the "phone" functions, so i need to restore it somehow from my PC. Some advices?

Hi, I think there is a way to change your Windows to English. I received the same phone with the same problem. I wrote to the supplier and they respond with the decision: they provided the original english WM6 ROM for M88 MiPhone on the website, so you can download it from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/168534489/DX.SKU16783.UPDATE.ENGLISH.AUG01.rar
But my problem is that I can't go in to the bootloader mode - just don't know how so to start loading the Windows OS. The instructions on the site are very poor and don't work. So I'm stuck again. Here there are the instructions:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
And some more instructions from my correspondence with the supplier, which shows different way of putting the phone in to the bootloader mode:
"we have a better idea to solve this inconvenience for you
we had updated a file on our website for you
you can download it and put it in your memory card to update the language into English.
you can put the file in the memory card no need to creat a folder for it
and insert the card into your cellphone
press the power bottom and the home bottom together
a few second later there would be a message on the screen shows you can press the home bottom again to restart the cellphone"
So maybe you can see they are showing different ways to enter the boot loader. Neidher 2 of them are working for me.
Since I have this phone I didn't find a way to enter the bootloader mode! I tried every combination between the keys but NOTHING! The only thing what I can do with the buttons is SWITCH OFF, SOFT RESET AND HARD RESET.
Please if somebody discover how to do that on that phone -M88 to share here with the rest of us!
Best of luck!

Hi, I'm From Brazil
I'm selling this phone here in my country.
I think I've got same problem here. But I've tried to get bootscren and it seems to be that procedure correct.
Once you shutdown the phone first remove it battery for 10 seconds, and than put back into the phone. Than press power and home(that center buttom) until phone show 2 messages(one for master boot and other for clear boot).
After this message you may release power buttom and keep pressing home buttom untill phone shows it boot screen.
You will face a "downloading program, please wait" message on phone screem
But be extremelly carefull than, make sure you have a power cable attached to the phone and it battery at least 90% charged because update took lot of time sometimes.
I'm telling that because today I have one M88 "dead" in my hands because I did not followed all this procedure and after 35 minutes, by mystake I pressed reset buttom.
Now my phone not even turns on, nor charge it battery, is dead.
But I think using one of those "BOX" devices I will ressucitate it!
Thanks m8!
The thing is that when I press the 2 buttons at once I can only get blue screen for less than 1 second and after that Windows is loading. When it is done - the phone is after hard reset. I've tried hundreds of times - always the same. I can't get messages asking me to load software - only hard reset is the result. I've tried any other combination, including the reset buton under the cover, next to USB, but never managed to enter the service mode or boot mode or whatever it is.
One week I'm wasting my time in doing hundreds of attemts to enter the bootloader and nothing! How then do you make a hard reset on the M88?
Do you thing if I can use backup from english version of the same model that will change the situation - the spanish will be substituted by english? And if it's possible can you upload such a backup, made by Spb backup software for me, please?
Best regards
I have stupid problem. Some files disappeared, some programs stopped working and the entire system blocked. I made many soft and hard resets, which fixed the things... for a while. After one hour it's blocking again, without any settings, or interventions.
I downloaded the ROM, created a "root" folder in the card and unzipped everything there.
The thing is that it ROM-boot looks too fast - only couple of minutes. Can it be?

Go ahead
But be pretty calm when performing update or you gonna get a bricked phone.
But is it possible that the update takes only few minutes? Or i'm doing only hard reset?

Hi from Ireland!
Yes it's possible. Today I finally managed to make the update - it took only 3 minutes. Now I have English OS on my M88!
It's a really nice phone isn't it?

How to install WM6 ROM - English version on M88 MiPhone from SD card
Please download the original ROM from here
I was adwised to do this:
1. Duplicate the update.img file and rename the second one as "uploader"
2. Copy both "update.img" and "uploader" on the SD - formatted in FAT32
3. Press POWER and HOME butons at the same time.
4. There are two possible options from here:
a) White screen with blue text showing "Upload image... please wait..."
b) Red screen with the options what to do in the next step -
5. I saw first the a) option - the white screen. So after 3 minutes of waiting the phone said it is done and it will selfrestart.
After the restart it will load the English OS on your M88
Enjoy
the mine is dead too.

M88 english bootloader
Here is the fix, sponsored by wirelessandmorestore.com
Copy both of these files to your computer.
http://uploading.com/files/YE6JJ36Y/update.img.html
http://uploading.com/files/TA1N0MBA/uploader.img.html
Plug in your phone and copy them to the SD card.
Turn the phone off.
Press the button on the top and the round button on the face at the same time and continue to hold it. As you are holding it, the phone will turn and go thorugh a couple steps before it says something like 'downloading image' or 'updating image' something like that.
Once it gets to that screen, you can let go of the buttons and the phone will update and reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. It will be in English when it turns itself back on and loads Windows.
Well, it seems, i'm having a big problem:
i wanted to upgrade my fresh MDA Pro to WM6.1 as i wanted to have SDHC-Support and didn't find any really working one with WM5. But: I DIDN'T FULLY Charge the battery, so i received an error as the device couldn't flash the ext-rom. I can still enter the factory-reset-screen. Is the battery going to charge there, too?, so that i can just wait and wait, ultill the battery is going to get full and reflash?
Well, in short:
Wanted to upgrade my device, it failed (maybe due to low battery)
I can still enter the hard-rest / "reset to facory defaults"-screen
if i press any button therem (ie 0 or X) the battery-led links red short and nothing happens.
tried entering bootloader, but nothing happened exept for the battery-ed short red blinking.
does the battery keep charging in the "reset to defaults"-screen?
is it possible to flash this device via SD-Card?
WELL - FIXED IT MYSELF, i was able to enter the ootloader and exectue the task 28at mtty, so i went back to original rom!!
thanks for the info with the tasks and mtty-tutorial
tw, i tried around with the SDHC-Drivers / Files, but didn't find any really working. Which driver works on 8G SDHC Class6-Card?
Hi, I have a problem.
My iPaq 114 hangs on the Windows Mobile 6 green boot screen.
I've tried to hard reset, it said "CLEAN BOOT", but that doesn't work. I've tried about 10 hard resets, all the same.
I've then tried using the SP38871 package to update the ROM, but the program tells me there is no connection between the iPaq and my PC.
Then I've found that if I push the Calendar+OK and tap the reset, it goes into a "SDCard Download Image" so I've copied the "HPImage.nbf" file from the SP38871 package, placed it on an SD Card, but then it says: "No download file found"
It's also acting weird, meaning that it does not start when I push the power button, only when I tap the reset (does that mean Windows Mobile boots, but then the whole screen turns black?)
I've uploaded a video to show you what I mean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-jeOyB97Qs
What could be the problem ? Could someone please help !
EDIT: I wrote the ROM file (HPImage.nbf) using ntrw.exe, but the iPaq says: "No boot block!" ... Does anyone have a good ROM ? Or if someone has a working iPAQ 114, could you please make a ROM backup and send it to me ? Or paste the HEX ROM Header. Just follow this guide:
http://www.rawen69.cc/hw65xx_flash.html
Ok..... it seems I`m having charging problems...
I thought the battery was full, because the orange light did not come up.... Then, after playing with it a bit more, I notice that it charges only if I take out the battery, put it back in, and the connect it to USB or charger... When I start the device, it does not charge anymore.
Also, I've found that my PC can't even connect with it, eventhough it's running. Could it be the mini-usb connector ? Or maybe the internal ipaq battery ?
I've tried 2 USB-to-miniusb cables, and same symptoms on both of them...
Hi Kiraly,
Hmm, sometimes Devices from HTC is not charging if you into boot loader Modus. that´s the reason why you must always a charged battery before you flashing a new OS.
Do you try: Windows+OK+Audiorecording (button on right side) hold it, make a Reset with you pen and hold the 3 buttons?
start your device normally again?
When your battery is dead:
we have sometimes same Problem, if the IPAQ 114 not used for more then one Month, the battery is deep discharged. Sometimes there is no chance to reactivate the battery. (Same problems we have some years ago with the HTC Wizard too)
I solved that problem with a External (laboratory) Power Supply ( I pushed the + and - contacts of the battery (not mounted into your PDA) really shortly with 12 Volt and maybe fixed current of 1 Ampere.
But this is really dangerous, do that only (if the battery not working or will not charging) for a few seconds. (max 2 x 5 seconds with a short interval between the 5 seconds)
remember that LiIo Batteries can really dangerous.
After this procedure the Battery will charging again. Sometimes it can help too, to leave your PDA connected to PC or Power Adapter for one night.

Unlike other ipaqs, the 111 and 211 (and their varients) were not made by HTC. They were made by Foxconn. As for your problem, what filesystem is your SD Card formatted. Try formatting it with the FAT-16 file system (if you format the card with the standard windows utility, choose FAT) first, and then putting the image on the card. You might also need a file called BLDIAG.nb0 (search around for that one). Did you ever think to check out the ipaq 211 (or 210) threads to see what they did?
hp 114 stuck in Flash or ruu mode
this happened to me also. To resolve this... download the HP rom up date for hp 114 in hp.com. You should never install this using vista... find a computer with XP OS download corresponding MCDC from microsoft so that XP would be able to recognize your PDA. Then run the spxxxxx (rom update) from your computer...
The upgrade process will take about 7 min. but sadly this does not solve frequent hanging and loss of data by WM6 that is why I am looking around to software updates. Still no luck...
Im using DeepShining X4 rom. all of a sudden when i was switching tabs, my phone froze, so i soft reset and it would get past the Touch Pro2 screen.. i left it for at least 10 minutes and nothing. so i reset it again.. again.. 3-4 times, with the same result.. idk why, but i went into bootloader mode [vol down+power+reset] got the tri color screen, and found no hard reset option so i naturally soft reset.. this time, i got past the Touch Pro2 welcome screen and it went on to the other two welcome screens, but stops at the windows one.. wtf is going on?! how can i flash another rom without accessing my files?? alsdkjflaskdj. someone please help, im freaking the eff out.
You don't need to flash a new ROM, just hard reset manually. Turn off the device completely (yank the battery if necessary). Now, press the power button, the send key, and the end key all at the same time. You should get a prompt instructing you how to hard reset. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
Somehow your windows has become corrupt. It is digital media afterall and it does happen. No need to freak out. You will get through it.
As DaveTheTytnIIguy said pull the battery, let sit a few minutes, reinstal and then while holding the end and send buttons at the same time push the power button. Follow instrucions on the screen. I think it says push volume up to do a hard reset.
You will loose any apps and files that were stored to the phone. Anything from the SD card will be fine but will have to be reinstalled to get it working.
If you made a backup of your phone you could now load this and then everything would be back to the way it was. This is why I do weekly backups and load everything to storage card. It also helps to backup the storage card once in a while as they have been known to go bad as well.
