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

Hello,

: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
hi guys. my qtek only says USB v 1.02. I cannot do any rom flash. what rom should i use. where can i download it from?
Hi - i tried to update my xda2 (Himalaya) to the uk o2 rom from the installed uk vodafone rom. but it we bellys up. now all i get is a screen showing me serial v1.06 and then when i dock it onto the cradle it shows usb v1.06 (which i have been tols is the bootloader screen -but i am not sure as the xda1 bootloader screen sayd bootloader on it).
I have tried running the rom update again but have had no luck - the computer does not recognise the device - as it says there is no drivers for it (although i have activesync installed) - but was like that since i bought it - just been using bluetooth to install programs.
When i had a xda1 i had the same problem when changing roms and was able to fix the problem by making an sd image using OS IMAGE TOOL. But this program says 'unsupported file format' when i try to make an os image of the nbf files (nk.nbf, ms_.nbf, Radio_.nbf) to my sdcard.
Does ne one know how to make an os image of the .nbf files so i can put them onto my sd card and try and resolve the problem.
any other ideas welcome and much appreciated
thanks steve
much of what you seem unsure of is describet here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloader
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaHowtoCopyRom
like this
"you can connect to the bootloader, either via a serial cable, and use a terminal program like hyperterm. or via usb, and use mtty. make sure you have disabled the serial or usb connection in activesync, before trying to connect to the bootloader."
'usb port cannot open'
tried mitty just gives me 'usb port cannot open' although i have my xda2 in the cradle and pluged into my usb port. when i connect to the usb port it comes up on my screen - new hardware found - no drivers found - and keep popin up as if the xda2 was found then disapears then found. although i installed the drivers when i installed activesync (have both serial and usb turned off in active sync).
have rom upgrade from o2 and extracted the .nbf files
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
radio_.nbf
is there a way to put them on an sd card so i can put it in the xda2 and boot from that??
not that i know of
my pc always found some ms driver thingy
when i connected my pda in bootloader mode
not sure if it took it off the internet when it found the device
or if i got it with activesync
i think the problem with my computer recognising the xda2 might be down to the cradle, as from i bought it, i have always had problems charging it - depending on what way it is sittin on the cradle. i have purchased a new usb to xda2 lead and hope this will help with this problem.
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?
Regards, Njål
I have a AT&T 8525. I installed 2.10 Olipro and then flashed with the latest AT&T WM6 upgrade from this site. It was labelled as the "official" upgrade.
The upgrade went well and everything seems ok (though it feels a bit more sluggish and I thought it would noticiabley increase speed of apps etc.)...anyway my Activesync is simply not working with this phone anymore. It doesn't recognize it when I plug in with the cable. This makes it hard for me to re-install a different ROM or any other app.
Bluetooth can see the phone, but, again, it doesn't seem to want to make an Activesync connection....please help...thanks in advance.
try deleting existing relationships. and create a new one. most likely because of your current upgrade, your DEVICE ID has been changed.
I actually have no relationships in Activesync right now.
I'm loading a fresh copy of Activesyn on my wife's computer to see if I can get a relationship established on a new install.
Any other ideas...I'm all ears!
you should be creating one.. its most likely because your DEVICE ID has been changed. have you checked it?
I have the same problem
The problem apears when I connect the device to the computer "USB Device Not Recognized".
Tested in another computer with same results...
It seems to be some driver issue, but I have no clue where to start...
I have a HERM200 (TyTN) unlocked and activesyn was working when the device OS was WM5. fter the upgrade, does not recognize anymore...
It's working now
After the OS upgrade, needs to turn off (for real) and turn on again. It works sweet.
Need to remember: MS Windows DEvices needs MS Solutions - Reboot !

say on information:
ROM version: 3.14.03 ENG
ROM date: 09/27/02

I tried to look on this site but there are too many to read, please kindly someone can direct me to a direct link for the right version for me to download thank you

sx56 problem
I downloaded the XDA-developers-SER-v12 for my siemens sx56...
the problem is that when i downloaded it and have it activated... the phone show upgrading...will take 5 minutes to do so and do not unplug... the thing is...it has been over 5 minutes and it still shows in my screen and i couldn't get to take it off...
now the thing is as soon as it unzips it says that i have to have my phone on active sync... i cannot do so since the phone is stucked... now when i try to cancel it it says "cannot open the ROM image file" please download and try again" so that's how it goes repetitively... what is the best way that i can do with this? if it ain't going to work.. i would rather just use it as an organizer like it used to...
is there anything i can do with this?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
and if you want to unlock use the exe tool rather then a very very very old rom
like
XDA-developers-SER-v12
The code will change depending on the model of the mobile phone. Every step has to be carefully followed while unlocking the phone.
SX56 problems
Hi, I recently got a brand new Siemens SX56 from ebay. It was never upgraded to firmware. I took the task of upgrading this but something happened that killed the process. Now the device is stuck at this mode even after doing a reset.
My steps were, I updated Active Sync to 3.7.1 (the latest version) The device is happily communicating with my pc.
Then started the upgrade and the screen says "upgrading will take 5 minutes, do not remove device or uplug power...during upgrade process..etc"
The program says it encountered an error during the upgrade and basically stopped the process. I knew this was bad. The instructions told me to uplug the device from the usb cable, do a normal reset, plug usb cable back in, and then retry the upgrade utility.
It won't because no active sync can't see my device because the screen is stuck on that "upgrading takes 5 minutes screen"
Is this device basically dead? Please help. This was a clear upgrade process and clearly the process got an error.
Hello gybanez,
I had the same problem and was able resolve the problem.
You have two options:
1. you can send it to me and I will do it for free.
or
2. buy these:
a. MMC card (at least 64 mb)
b. buy a Card Reader/writer that supports MMC
c. go to www.xda-developers.com and download "XDA-developers-SER-v12"
d. extract the ROM from XDA-Developers-ser-v12 (.nbf file).
e. also download XDA-TOOLS (used to copy the .nbf file extracted to
your new MMC card on the Card reader/writer.
f. now insert the MMC card into your sx56 press reset and power button
at the same time and it should take you to a screen which asks you
to press "action button" to download and once done do a cold reset.
This should do the trick and afterwards if you want to upgrade and or
customize it go to http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ great site.
PS: If anyone wants to correct/add to this please feel free.
Regards, JOHNNY.
