Hello,
I tried to upgrade my imate with bluetooth (instead of cable, because it is in my job)and now the only thing i see in the screen is "Serial v1.02" I have tried to do a full reset but nothing changes. What can i do??? Thanksss
:lol: not buy serial cable!!!
there is an OFFICIAL UPGRADE ready and existing, but not yet PUBLIC,
it is one nice 40 MB RUU file which will uprgade your unit to english language:
Microsoft Pocket PC version 4.20.0 (Build 13252)
ROM version: 1.60.00WWE
ROM date: 12/03/03
Radio version: 1.06.01
Protocol version: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.60.06
Indirizzo http://xda-developers.com/incoming/rom160wwe/RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL.exe
IT'S FANTASTIC AND EASY WHIT THE USB CRADDLE
What you may try to do, for a start, is to reinstall the ROM upgrade once again, USING THE USB CRADLE and nothing else. Better remove the SIM card before installing the upgrade. Also, make sure that the battery is fully charged. All through the upgrade process, do not touch the device.
Finally....
Next day When i was in my job put my imate in the cradle, ran the upgrade and it worked.....I am happpppppy ¡¡¡¡
Upgrade failed
I had the same problem as dherrero. However, I have no luck as him. My XDA II still dead can not be boot. Anyone can help? Thanks.
IT's DEAD
I have a MDA from T-Mobile for 3 weeks now. I find out about the rom update (RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL.exe), tried it and got the message that the update failed.
On my MDA screen therse is only the message "USB v1.01".
Running the update again doesn't help.
Is there a solution or do I have to contact T-Mobile?
Hi all ,
One of my Friends had the same problem , he tried another computer and it works , then guess what was the problem ???? We found that it was ZONE ALARM !!!
So please check You'r computers guyes ,it might be another software makes the upgrade failed .
Thanks
Hi all!
We have to be aware, that the upgrade program says "NO PROGRAMS RUNNING ON THE PPC AND NO PROGRAMS RUNNING ON THE PC ITSELF"
It's a hard lesson i learned years ago while flashing a BIOS..... if possible, do it at an UPS equipped PC (or notebook btw) to reduce your chances of killing your device.
Windows XP has many more programs running than one would suspect. As a first measure, kill all the ones you can in the right side of your taskbar, shut down your Anti Virus and Firewall, and cross your fingers while upgrading.....
Should we also shut down Activesync? Or is it needed for the upgrade?
Thanx.
I am in the same boat this day. Please help !!! I tried to upgrade the imate threw the club imate ... i downloaded ok i believe ... i did not use the cradel just a mini sync usb cord ... i used this before many times to sync... but when i tried to run the official update it stopped and now it says only serial v1.02 when i put it in the cradel it says usb v1.o2 its dead... no light for batter scharge nothing???? no sync at all please help
ActiveSync is not involved in the upgrade process. The upgrade program runs out of this, with it's own connection and settings via USB.
I haven't used the mini cord, so I'm of no help about it.
Try the upgrade program again, looks like it failed to fully flash your ROM. (That's why you don't see the charging light, it's Software controlled)
Good Luck!

Try to update your imate using a cradle connected to a pc(usb). It should work
i have the exact same problem as highlighted by the others here, USB and v1.02 screen. Question is, how do you continue to flash your rom after it fails and you put back your unit into the cradle and activesync does not sync it anymore
the upgrade doesnt use activesync so it doesnt matter. Just put the imate in the cradle(in other pc, if possible) and run the upgrade
qtek rom update problem

I fried my XDA2 by trying to update the older 60 version on the O2 site to my newer 66 rom version that came installed. I took a back-up before hand on to my SD card. Now that I have a card reader could somebody explain how to do the restore. The PDA, from what I have read, seems to be in bootloader screen - USB ver 1.06 showing, but does not sync with the PC although it shows up in "my computer". Many thanks in anticipation
I had exactly the same problem last week when trying to upgrade to 1.72 (mine is imate which came with 1.66).
the advice i got from the imate support was:
just put the xda in the cradle and plug the usb to the comp, run activesync (use the latest version : 3.71).
although activesync won't recognize the xda, just run the rom update from the computer, after a while you will notice on the device screen that it is being upgraded, it took about 30 minutes.
when finished just pull off the cradle and softreset, and things is normal again.... good luck
Hi All, Please please could anyone help me I have just tried to update my xda2 with the o2 update software (latest) and all the screen will display is serial v1.6, I cant do any reset Hard or Soft!! Should I buy a body bad and call the undertaker?
Let it on the craddle and start to update it again!!!
Hi, I tried that and get ERROR 100 Message?
Thanks
sorry, bro !,
but from where you have tried to update software latest from 02??. (website)
thanks
ajong
Hi Yeah from o2 UK.........
Thanks for your reply
still problem bro ???
try this :
- push together (power+navikey+reset)
-put your device in to cradle
-start upgrade again (from original 02 rom)
- wait 2-3 minutes.
hope this helps !!
-------------------
which one version to upgrade !!
1.60.50 ???
@soulexpress: Don't forget to kill activesync before yoy retry the update.
Does the 'serial' change into 'usb' when the device is in the cradle?
Hi
Just had to hard reset my XDA II as it died and wouldnt respond. I have the message above.
If I put it in the cradle, it says ' USB v1.01' if I take it out it says 'serial' other than that I cannot get it to do anything!
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
rich
mmm, seems youre in bootloader mode.
Only way out I know of is to reflash the device.
Dont forget to kill activesync before you do that btw
ok - thanks
but i dont understand, if i download the rom to my pc, surely i need activesync connected to transfer the file to the xda?
what do you mean by kill it?
also what version should i download?
sorry for my lack of pc skills1
cheers
rich
The upgrade package takes care of communicating with the device.
Activesync is not used and would only interfere.
To kill it: ctrl-alt-del, then end "wincemanager.exe" (not exactly sure of the name) process.
The rom you should use is preferable one of your current supplier: 02, T-Mobile, Qtek or CDL (iMate).
I would advise a non-beta 1.72 rom
These are officially available for iMate and QTek devices (search on RUU172*).
I created a good (to me!) 1.72 rom for T_Mobile devices, search on RUU172901*
Is it worth upgrading
I am running 1.60.00WWE on my XDAII is there any real advantage of upgrading to 1.72 ? What are the advantages?? If so which should I use? I Swapped over to the TMobile one a while and I believe it is difficult to change back to the O2 version, have you any comments?
Thanks Adam

Hi ,
I had 1.72.00wwe on my phone but i was tryin 2 upgrade it further but it got stuck while upgrading and its showing seril while not on cradle and while on cradle its showing usb 1.06
plz hlp me iam newbee and not good in programmin .I also have asecond Xda2 with 1.66.00wwe plz tell if it can b of any help
Reset your device, place it in the cradle and re-run the upgrade.
thanx i tried it already from 2 computers in one its showing error 103 no rom image found and in another its showing error 101 country code problem
Which ROM are you attempting to upgrade to? Which one exactly had you previously upgrade to? What operator do you use?
I'm asking all this to try and get a better picture. Normally, people in your situation can recover by applying the same upgrade again, or, at worst, re-applying the one they are upgrading from.
Make sure you are in bootloader mode (by pressing Jog button and Power button at the same time as pressing reset) before retrying any upgrade. Also make sure the USB cradle is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not through a hub and that the power supply is connected to the cradle. It may help to make sure that Activesync isn't running also.
active sync
in the active sync tray it shows that not connected
Well i had 1.72.00wwe rom image 1.14 earlier and iwas tryiong to upgrade to 1.72. something can't remember exactly but it was with rom image 1.17 it was downloaded from t mobile and my current phone is from o2

Activesync is not needed for upgrades. The upgrade process looks after its own connection. I suggest you follow the procedures in my post here to overcome the Country ID error problem. You will need to know what the device's operator and language IDs are currently set to, which is why I asked you above. I suspect you won't have Devicedata.txt, so it becomes necessary to know what operator and language the previous upgrade was.
to revive your XDA2 again
The main point is what is ROM 1.66 come from (e.g. i-mate ot T-mobile)
If you doesn't upgrade 1.66 ROM by yourself or it came from factory ,you must tell us which operator did you buy from.
If you try upgrade across operator ,it will hang on boot loader screen.
And again, which 1.72 ROM did you try to upgrade from?
Here's the deal: I need help!!!!!!
I have a HTC TYTN and upgraded it's ROM from WM5 to Custels Ultimate WM6 as he got a lot of good reviews for it. However, there's a bug in it - apparently a bug Mr. Custel was aware of. After upgrading to WM6 my Active sync does no longer work when using USB.
Here's my details:
HERM200
spl-2.10 Olipro
IPL-1.04
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
ROM Version: CUSTEL Ultimate
ROM Date: 05/05/07
Radio version: 1.41.00.10
Protocol version: 32.74.7020.18H
I run Active sync 4.5 on my PC.
I have checked that the setting for Active sync is correct on my computer and that the 'Enable advanced network functionality' box is unchecked in the USB-to-Pc setting on my TYTN
I have tried to manually put my TYTN into Bootload to see if it can connect via USB then - and it cannot even if it says USB on my TYTN tricolor screen.
I've deactivated firewall, checked to see if settings for Outlook is correct etc... etc...
I've even tried to put a .nbh file on my SD card and put TYTN into Bootload mode - but it never got past the tricolor screen.....
In other word: I cannot connect my TYTN to my PC and I cannot flash another ROM onto my TYTN to make it work properly with Active sync.
What can I do? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards,
Njål
I will try
Well I had the same problem with active sync when I installed wm6 on my cingular 8525 (hermes). Once I figured out to remove the check in the USB to PC window, I removed activesync 4.5 and restarted my pc. Then I reinstalled activesync. I then restarted my pc. I then hooked the usb cable from the cradle that my phone sits in and then placed the phone in the cradle. Everything has worked fine since then. I know for sure that check in USB to PC has to be unchecked. It will not work unless. So try that and see what happens. That is what I had to do. It would not work until I unistalled and reinstalled activesync. Hope this helps.
A little more info:
Here's a little more info when it comes to my problem.
I've read the thread regarding Mr Custel's WM6 Final ROM and after I upgraded my phone, several others has complained about the same problem as I have.
Mr Custel has written that he's aware of the problem and that he will fix it - however, I now see a new ROM upgrade from Mr Custel called Custels Ultimate WM6 ROM. The problem is that I cannot install it since I cannot get an USB connection to work.
I've tried uninstalling Active sync - restart PC - reinstall active sync - restart PC and try to connect. Several times, actually. It doesn't work
Any ideas?

Hi people,
I'm Luca from Italy, and I'm writing here hoping that You can help me to recover my dead PPC.
My PPC, when living, had Windows Mobile 5 like O.S.
So, As i've some problems with the phone I've decided to downgrade the radio version from 1.17 (people say that it is buggy) to 1.08.
So i run the HimaUpgradeUt_noID (I've also HimaUpgradeUt), but i've forgotten to delete the NK.nbf file from the directory.
I put the PPC in bootloader mode (SERIAL on top and ver. 1.06 on bottom) and then to the cradle directly to the motherboard USB connector
The sofware begin to update upgrading even ROM CE file, but when it arrived at 31% himaUpgrade stopped its work, showing that I need to reset (only normal reset and not soft reset) the PPC From this time until now my PPC show always and only the bootloader view.
When I try to upgrade again, the himalaya soft don't show what my PPC has like rom or radio version. It shows only the Ce rom and Radio that I'm going to ugrade.
It seems that software isn't able to erase ROM IMAGE
Active sync can't identify the device (some time it is indentified as unknown device).
When i start the software for ugrade the Active sync tray icon disappear.
I'm only able to ugrade radio stack or ExtRom.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, HELP ME.
P.S. The device is unlocked

"Edited:- Problem solved, I loaded the upgrade from a different PC. I don't know why my main PC would not work as that is the one I regularly sinc the pocket PC to, but it just kept aborting the upgrade. Anyone else having this problem, try another PC."

Hi Rudegar,
first MANY MANY MANY THANKS for Your support.
I'm very unlucky.
I'm not able to upgrade my PPC.
The strange thing is that i can upgrade Radio Stack and even Extended Rom!
Only CE ROM wont' update.
Previous CE ROM installed was AKU 3.5 and Windows Mobile 5.0
Everythings worked fine.
Non other way?
I've seen that after launched del himaupgradeUt_noID the Activesync tray icon ho away.
My PPC sometimes ins't "seen" by my XP while other times it is "unknown device"
Why Can I only update RADIO and Extended Rom, while CE Rom not?
... P.S.
evey kind of button that I push the PPC is always in Bootloader Mode!
I'ev tryed: POWER + CAMERA + REC + STYLUS over the hole.
When I put the PPC to battery charger, red led is on until nothing is on the display, while when there is the written over the display, led is off.
No way to help me?
No news? I'm so sad
