Help Installing GPS please - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi,
I have trouble intalling haicom 204s drivers to my PDA (imate or XDAII). Can anyone please tell me what the procedure is ?

you shouldnt need any drivers, just plug it in, make sure you go to settings/connections/beams and uncheck the "receive incoming beams", choose com 1 as your port and nmea 4800 as your protocol/speed. Which software will you be using, if you let me know I can be more specific with settings.

Thanks for the tip ! It works just fine . BTW, I'm using Tomtom.

XDAManipulator COM problem

Hi
XDAmanipulator does not find the PDA attached to the PC. With Hyperterm it can connect. As Portmon does also not indicate any activity on COM 2 (where the PDA is attached to), I guess that the COM auto find does not work correctly on my machine. Is there a way to tell XDAmani to use only COM 2 ??
COM problem
Just tried it on a other PC, there it works. On my main PC it does not show the screen "searching COM", it also does not say anything about found, it shows only reading from the phone, for hours

That's weird: it only says reading from the phone when it has found the XDA. So that's not your problem, apparently.
Well, if you say so :?
For your information: It is not a virtual COM like on a USB-RS232 adaptor. Just direct COM on the Board. But I do have some virtual COM in the system used by the Widecom BT Soft and ISDN CAPI (Fritz by AVM). I still think that XDAmani did not find the right device as Portmon (from sysintern) does not report any activity on COM2. If XDAmani thinks, that it found a XDA on a other port, will it go on searching ? I would suggest therefor a option like: Automatic COM selection or choosing a Port by yourself.
But it is any way a very, very nice Tool, Thanks !

Bricking...

Hi.
I am a bit embarrassed about writing this, I never thought I would make a brick of my Prophet during “upgrades”...
But here I am, with a phone that don't want to sync with any computer after I accidentally pressed cancel on an active sync dialog box asking for setup with a new device, during upgrade to the latest Touch VIII. Have upgraded several times with several different ROM’s before, but this time things went wrong.
If I choose to start my device normally, it goes trough the HTC screen and stops after the Qtek (HTC in Norway) screen listing the different versions of the hardware…
When I restart to boot loader (Cam button + reset) the 3 colours turn up ok, but when I put an USB cable in the device and the lower, left part of the screen shows USB, active sync will not recognise any new device no matter what I do.
I can still find the Prophet when I go to properties on the computer, but somehow active sync does not care about that.
Are there any way to use a program at the host computer to sync properly with the Prophet?
I would really appreciate any help that could rectify this problem.
Regards, Lars Norway
I believe the " WM6 Upgrade Guide" thread has the info you needed.

Tried the info there without success...
The guide assumes that you have connection with ActiveSync, but I can not seem to get connection.
So, I really need some advice about how to make a connection to the computer I will make the programming from, when ActiveSync is not working properly.
Have tried to restart both the device and the host computer, have reinstalled ActiveSync, have tried to start the different roms without having a connection to A.S., but no luck...
Have realized my mistake and bought a new Prophet, but would still like to get the old one working again.
it has nothing to do with activesync.
Not sure u really understand the below statement from the thread I mentioned.
RECOVERING FROM ERROR IN STEP 8 WM5->WM6
1. Don't panic
2. Don't panic
3. Unplug the phone
4. Reset with stylus,and keep the Camera Button pressed.
5. A 3 color screen will appear(Bootloader Screen)
6. Connect your device with your PC,and run the NVID(no vendor) WM5 rom.
7. The device will be resetted after RUU(rom update utility)finishes
8. Repeat the WM6 upgrade,from STEP 5..
in case you can't NVID roms, you can still use those step1 roms mentioned by ROM gurus here.

Well, the problem is that I am not able to connect...
As far as I understand, the only way to connect is by using ActiveSync?
Regards
connect = the cable between prophet and your pc. after that just run the rom update utility. just dun bother the activesync (does it sound logical to u to establish activesync in bootloader mode?)
OK, I have tried it, but will try on some different computers also.
Posting in a couple of hours.
Thanks for your help so far!
then wish u good luck. happy un-bricking.
OK, same as before.
Depending on which ROM I try, the following messages are the result:
Error [300]: Invalid update tool.
Error [274]: Connection (The update utillity cannot connect to your PDA phone.)
If I try the Touch VIII direct, it stops in Initializing for a while, and then a message appears with the text: Cannot connect to device, Would I like to try again?
Besides, in the welcome screen during the "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe" in the Prophet_PV_Temp program, step nr. 2. asks me to ""Establish an ActiceSync connection with your PDA phone."
So, no change from yesterday yet...
are you using windows vistA???
Have only been using computer with XP Pro installed.
Anybody of the opinion that the connection tools built into Vista might do a better job?

No, on the contrary. The best change you have is XP. Zeroed asked about Vista because it could be the reason of your troubles.
What I should do is just one detail different of what you have already tried:
Put the prophet in bootloader.
DISable "allow USB conection" in the conection-setting panel of ActiveSync
Connect your prophet with the USB cable
Run the NVID RUU again
If that is succesfull, you can upgrade to the WM6 ROM you like.
OK, will do.
Tried Vista just now, same errors and no luck.
Be posting in a minute...
OK, now I'm back.
Made a restart of the host computer, changed settings in ActiveSync, startet my device in Bootloader...
But unfortunately, no more success this time either.
Feel that the device must be more seriously defective/broken than others, this mishap happend at the end of the programming, when the 3 partitions were being written in the device. I was loading Touch VIII...
Anybody know if there is any more combination of buttons or reset methodes I could try?
Next step is to start opening the Prophet...

Just wondering if your computer detects prophet as a device at all? Does the normal plug device sound comes on when you plug in? Just a long shot, stick in a SD card and try with windows media player to see if it can sync or put files onto SD card. if so, get rom refreshed via SD card...
try few hard resets before you try this.
Not quite sure I understood what you suggested. I can get the device up in the host computers machine properties, but there is no way to get it up in any other program - like the Windows explorer.
Or are you saying that there is a way to boot the Prophet directly from a SD card? That would impress me!!!

This sounds dumb, but try restarting your PC, closing all apps running in background (including firewalls), restarting Prophet (with stylus in reset hole). DO NOT TRY TO USE ACTIVE SYNC. Boot into bootloader (Three colours screen), connect USB cable and flash QTEK lastest official, or Jesterz AKU 3.3 (I have found this ROM to have magical powers of unbricking.)
Good luck!

Hmm this is wierd.I ran into problem earlier this month trying to flash a ROM but got stuck somewhere. So I followed the steps given in the sticky thread. Everything work smoothly. I am using XP SP2 and mine is a G3.
Let's make the assumption that your PDA is not faulty. Maybe you can try the steps again but this time :-
1. Change to another USB cable (or you may test the existing cable by connecting to a working pda)
2. Change to another USB port
3. Make sure you are not running any program that hogs the USB resource
4. If you are using USB hub, please don't connect using it. Make a direct connection to your computer.
that's all I can offer now...hope it helps.

Vista Drivers for HTC Niki ?

Does anyone know where to find proper drivers for Vista 32 bit to ensure a proper connection between the Niki and WMDC ?
Having flashed mine with Tom's ROM, it's now a mess, the device connects only once every 10 to 15 tries (with the same cable that was working perfectly until then...) !
Check your Cabel again?
No Vista Driver! You dont need any Drivers!
It's Toms Rom that is the Problem, it is possible that it is an issue with 6.1, but the issues with WMDC are worth putting up with because Toms Rom is the best in every other way.

Did you get dmrouter to start? Have you installed the drivers? I just assume you have followed the first steps of the wiki.
Do you have data and phone, and all functions working? Does IUSAcell even support or have aGPS server? Are you trying to use another carriers aGPS settings?

Iusacell support aGPS im 100% sure of that.
Do you have any recomendations on how can my computer will recognize my phone?
thx
If dmrouter started successfully, you have the wmodem drivers installed and qpst did not recognize your device and you followed all the directions in the GPS fix thread of your choice, There is nothing I can do for you. Sorry.
Do you have agps server info for iusacell? where is it posted?

One trick is to use a different USB port on the computer you are using. Also make sure that the computer has not added it in the Device Manager as an Unknown Device and placed a Yellow Exclamation point besides it. If so delete the item and then reboot.
Also, Im not so sure you really have the drivers installed.
You need to install microsoft activesync in order for your computer to have the right modem drivers.

the computer dont recognize my phone, only on bootloader mode.=(
Have you tried to turn off Enable advanced network functionality? When I had issues with my computer seeing the phone, I unchecked this box and active sync would see the phone as well as I now could teather via USB.
Here is where to find Enable advanced network functionality:
Start/Settings/Connections/USB to PC/
Good luck

Hi Shimele, give this a try. Go to device manager if using XP, should be same for Vista. Look for ports, expand it and you should see something new for your phone. Open up properties for it and then click on Advanced. You should see Port Settings and Advanced at the bottom. By default it may be a high port like com port 9, set it to com port 1 or com port 2. Then run QPST configuration and make sure it's listed in there. You may need to reseat your USB cable after making this change. Hope this helps you
thx all for you answares...
I think phone usb its broke, thats the only logical explanation.
I made my GPS lock in lees than 10 sec. so the usb its not a problem anymore.
I got GPS so fast because i change the radio to: 3.37.75
Thx!
Hola shimele.
I'm also in Mexico (DF) and using the exact config you're using (both laptop and Mogul in Iusacell). I've tried several DCD, Nue and generic roms and they sync with no problems for me.
So, let's start at the begining: you're using Vista, so make sure you've installed the Windows Mobile Device Center patch for Widows mobile. This replaces ActiveSync for Vista computers and can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
Follow the instructions and you should be fine.
If you want us to follow this offline, I'm available, just PM me or send me an e-mail, OK?
Saludos.

[Q] Please, I need your help

Hi dear,
I have TG01 WM 6.5 and I'm trying to use headset WH-203 that came with the set. Once I connect it to TG01 the following massage appears:
(Unidentified USB Device
Enter the name of the device driver for this device. For information, see the device manufacturer's documentation.)
Note that this headset came with the set, so for sure it is compatible.
Do you have any idea to solve this problem?
try to hard reset the device
I did, but the poplem still exists.
any other idea.

Try
Go to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC. Check or uncheck Advanced network functionality. Now try to connect.
If this don't solve the issue, hard reset.
If that don't solve the issue, you have missing drivers which sounds very odd, as I use this USB cable all the time to connect my usb to it and never had any problems!
Still
In fact, I tried hard reset, and I tried using the headset befor restoring my data from the backup, but the same massage appears.
I think there should be a driver associated with it which is not available.
Any one knows?
Thank you

When you connect to ActiveSync doesn't it automatically download drivers? :s Did you install Windows Device/Mobile Center using the CD that comes with the box? It generally downloads all your drivers on connection (or so I presume!)
