I have faced a serious problem when upgrading my i-mate , during the upgrade process my pc shutdown( hibernated) and the upgrade was halted , that caused discontinuation of the process and now when starting the upgrade I get the message " not able to connect to the device" I am using the latest active sync version but no communication is happening between the i-mate and the PC, moreover the only thing I can see in my poor i-mate is the blue screen that says sadly “ i-mate” . Can any one help please ?

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 have the same problem ...

Best regards
plz help, i-mate dead after failed flash, error 101
Hi,
If all that happened was it hung during upgrade you can put the device into bootloader, power+d-pad+softreset button, and attempt upgrade again, but if OS you were upgrading to is corrupt causing the hang a new rom might be the way to go, www.buzzdev.net has everything i needed, or clubimate.com
I have same problem. My q-tec100 is reseting so I can' connect it to pc for flashing again. Please tel me what is bootloader and what is d-pad button so thad i can stop it from reset and connecting for flash
hi friends i have the same prob. somebody plz help me too
Dear friends
I was tring to upgrade my iMate Pocket PC also know as Himalaya with windows2003 SE , while upgrading I faced problems, the upgarde failed and now I am just getting no display and OS too. The only message displayed is
Serial
v1.03
nothing is working please help
bye with regrads,
your unit is still okay; even better that the usb version is showing on the screen. it's simply stuck on bootloader mode. what kind of problems did you encounter resulting in the failed upgrade?
one suggestion i can give before you downgrade is to try and proceed with the upgrade to se. put your unit back on the cradle but don't expect activesync to "recognize" the device. just put it back on the cradle and rerun the upgrade to se.
same thing happened when i upgraded but to wm2005. the screen showed error and the only thing on the screen was the usb version. i simply cradled back the unit and ran the upgrade. worked.
cheers
Hi
Thanks a lot, i tired those steps before and even now I did but its not upgarding I am gettig following error as show i the attachment. Please let me know what to do
thanks a lot

oh, it appears that you have the "wrong country" id issue. i'm not entirely sure as to how to avoid this but i believe it has something to do with the correct rom version (guys, correct me if i'm wrong). where did you get the rom you used for upgrading to se? downgrading might be the only trick if there is no rom for saudi-based users...but if any chaps presently living there and were successful in upgrading their units perhaps you could share the rom version/s you used?
cheers

To overcome the Country ID Error, first you need to install this tool...
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Tools/ER2003Edit_1_4_26.zip
Open the ROM file you want to upgrade, then change the appropriate 'Operator ID' code, after this click 'Save ROM image'.
Upgrade ur device. You will no longer face the error message.
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

I am upgrading here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352221
Iam using Vista x32 Ultimate which has a built in Active Sync.
I dumped the content of that rar into C:\Windows\Temp and proceed to update when i plugged in my phone.
Then i wait and then it goes "Target Not found" and window crashes
Now my phone is stuck in a black mode that says:
Update Utility
USB Connected
And when i try to rerun the Device Utility Update it says: Error: CONNECTION ERROR
What do i do now?
HELP??????? Who can i contact? I have got a window xp computer now
Set it to Tricolor screen, and ran the original factory shipped ROM hope it can override the bad ROM image. It worked with Prophet and Kaiser.
I have not played with my AtomExec for so long, so I am really rusty with it now. Borrow or use a machine with Windows XP and installed ActiveSync and see if you can do it with that.
It is going to be a lot of work but it is better than a dead AtomExec.
Because very few people actually bought AtomExec so the general help is not that much around. I just received an Email from O2 that the company is taken over by another group.
I just update my AtomExec to WM6, still testing it.
