well people it worked
to transform your qtek to imate with updated rom just download the following link
http://www.pdamobiz.com/dl.asp?D=XdaII&F=Rom1.72i-mage_for_upgrade_from_Qtek.zip
After download, just unzip, place qtek into cradle then active sync, and click at HimaUpgradeUt.exe, next .... and wait for about 1 hr.
during the process i had an error, so i took the device out of cardle made a reset, put it back into cardle and click at HimaUpgradeUt.exe after an hour it finished and my qtek became an updated imate
Before upgrade make sure the following items:
1. Your PC is good condition, not hang during upgrade.
2. Do not use usb hub, must direct connect to usb port.
3. UPS is needed, for preventing electricity shutdown.
4. If you can backup rom, please do it. (One guy report that he could not restore.)
5. Use your own risk.
all of this thanks to Chan & Caustic
salute
thanks
if i upgrade it how can i return it back to qtek2020 ?
and what is mean UPS ?
:roll:
UPS == Uninterruptible Power Supplies
Mean UPS == bad ass Uninterruptible Power Supplies
not sure what he mean in related to flashing ones pda
sure it would fail if the pc and the cradle lost power
but the risk most places is not really great enough
for people to spend that kind of money just to upgrade their
pda

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
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?
They basically told me you guys over here at this forum are more intelligent in this area. I've searched this forum and couldn't find any solutions to this problem so I have posted this message with hope that it will be solved.
Here is a copy of my message I posted on www.clubimate.com
ORIGINAL: dhilgaertner
This is absolutely rediculous. After upgrading to 1.66 my iMate has stopped working entirely. After talking to iMate support on 4 different occasions, I've gotten the same responce over and over.
Here it is:
Dear Mr. Dustin,
Regarding the online chat, please find below the necessary steps to reload your device with the ROM image.
1. Make sure your I-mate Pocket PC is not connected to the PC
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File > Connection Settings > Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection… “
3. Make sure your Device is on Boot loader Screen* (start up screen)
4. Reconnect your I-mate Pocket PC to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle ( Don’t use the IrDA for the Upgrade )
5. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems
*Boot loader Screen – Hold the navigator button (round button in the middle of the answer/hang up buttons) and do a Hard Reset (Hold the power on/off button while pressing the small whole button on the bottom left of the device) simultaneously.
For any clarifications/queries, please do fell free to contact us and we shall be glad to be of assistance to you.

Each time I've replied with "I've already done that and it still doesn't work. The rom update errors when it tries to update the radio image. Then it doesn't complete the rom update and the imate still doesn't work. No matter what I do or what version I try to update to it always gives me an error during the rom update. I can't even get into my phone anymore. I now have a $850 paper weight and tech support that isn't even worth a dime. I've talked with Ali and Karl at iMate Support both were unhelpful and eager to get me off the line. Ali even told me to call him tomorrow because he had to go home!!!! You call that tech support?
Now for the last time here is my problem:
[ul]
[*] My iMate will not boot past the blue screen.
[*] I've followed the steps above of disabling usb on activesync and installing rom
[*] 30 Minutes into the rom install (right where it starts doing the radio update) it errors.
[*] The error comes from the rom setup, not the imate, not activesync.
[*] The error tells me to do the above steps and try the rom update again.
[*] Once again the radio part of the rom update fails and tells me to try again.
[*] Infinite Loop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[/ul]
I apologize for being angry, but this device is crucial to my job and is costing me thousands of dollars in lost sales and marketing revenue while it doesn't operate.

When you run the ROM update, are you still trying to run the 1.66.131 ROM? If so, you might want to try the 1.52.113 ROM to see if you can at least get your device back.
When the Radio update failed how far did it get into the Radio update, (what percentage?)
I had a similar problem when trying to downgrade, the Radio failed at 12%, (which I was told was a security feature)... either way, what I did was in this...
1.66.131 - Update, (which worked for me)
1.03.00 - Downgrade (which failed at the radio stack and would not boot)
I then went into bootloader, (reset, power, up) and you should see Serial/USB 1.01 screen...
Then put the device in the cradle and ran the 1.52.113 'update' and the device was fine (back to 1.52.113)
I had a similar problem were the upgrade failed part way through updating the Radio stack (after the Erase).
Fortunatly the main ROM had upgraded OK and I simply hard reset and started again.
Some things I have noticed:
1) Never leave the PC unattanded - stop it from going into screen saver
2) Make sure all programs are shut down on the PC - Too much activity causes my USB ActiveSync link to close
3) Close Firewall software - I use ZoneLabs and the upgrade hates it
Just a few things to try
The other thing you can try is performing the ruu when the device is in Bootloader. Press and hold power, the Actio key (in the middle of the Joystick) and soft reset.
Connect your device to the PC and run the ruu update.
That should work.
Where do I get a RUU for iMates? iMates website doesnt have one.
Also the radio stack update fails at the beginning of the erasing part, it is still at 0% when it errors.
The clubimate site does have the RUU for both 1.66.131 and for 1.52.113, goto Tools\Device\iMates\Full Device etc...
Its towards the bottom...
Yes that is the same update that gives me the error when I get to the Radio stack part of the update. It leaves me with a 1.66 rom and a blank radio and protocol version (if you were to look in device information).
??
Did you recently get your device? Did it come with 1.66.131. if not, then this really should have worked; unless there is something actually wrong with your device? Did you possibly put a different ROM on before the 1.66.131 like a TMobile, or MDA or O2 rom, or a 1.60.x derivative?
Also, you could try this....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7384&highlight=
This is a link to the ORIGINAL ROM 1.03.00, but this DOES NOT work for me, but it did get as far as erasing the Radio Stack, (maybe if it can erase yours the other updates will be able to continue)....
Upgrade fails during radio upgrade
I had this same problem when I was upgrading my O2 Rom. Now, I have had just about every possible ROM on my system and have had to revert back to the original and before being able to install and upgrade a few of them.
Assuming you have done all of this, I did have success with a phased upgrade. The upgrade executable creates a folder in the temp directory. I moved this folder to my desktop and launched the upgrade program directly from my desktop but each time only putting one rom file in the directory. There are three (One for extender, OS, and Radio) By doing it one ROM at a time I was able to have success.
Just another idea.

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?

ajong

-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?
i am trying to upgrade from wm2003 second edition to wm2005 or 2006 but when i put the device on boatloader and later on the cradle where usb appears on the screen the installation proccedure stops on the first steps of reaching erasing rom , infact the small window that appears remains for some minutes at 0 percent and later gives an error report and "remove the device from the cradle and reset the device and retry again"
can anyone help?
qtek2020i != himalaya
