I've just received Siemens SX56 form a friend. After installed Activesync (I tried both OEM 3.5 and 3.8.0, download from Microsoft website) to computer, I stuck right at the 1st step. ActiveSync couldn't detect the PPC, even I did try it manually by clicking NEXT. The final result from this step is "USB is available" and that's all it. I did install and un-install ActiveSync hundreds of times and also, performed the hard reset on the handheld, but none of these tricks worked. BTW, I have no problem with HotSync of Palm Treo via USB.
My ROM ver. : A.30.09 ENG, Radio ver.: A.33.02
Anyone who has any ideal/solution please help. Many thanks.

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?
I just got an SX56. It came unlocked and with XDA 1.2 and ROM version 3.17.03 and worked fine with my Cingular acct., both phone and web, until I tried to upgrade to 2003. I picked the wrong download and ended up with 4.01.00 ENG ( T-Mobile) and no XDA. The phone works OK, but I can't get on the internet. I've tried to go back to both 3.17 and to download 1.2 again without success.
I sure would appreciate some advice. I would prefer WM 2003 that works with Cingular (and XDA 1.2), but if that is not possible I'd go back to what I started with.

Active sync works ok by USB, but I get a 'USB not connected' msg when I try to upgrade even though activesync shows 'connected. Very frustrating!

Thanks Stefan. I downloaded the XDA tools no problem but I continue to get an "ERROR 011:Execute remote communication program error" every time I try to download into my PPC. The USB cable is attached and Activesync is connected.

Youu have to flash your device via SD-Card as described in the wiki site....
There is no other possibility....

I recently purchased a SPV M3100 after reading many great reviews on this device.
I have just unlocked it using the HTC Hermes SIM & CID unlocker v3a using my old Windows XP laptop and it works great (I've tried using my Vista ultimate 64 computer earlier it didn't work).
I am now interested in upgrading my SPV M3100 to latest software available from Orange or the WM6 roms available on this site like Black Dymond, really keen in seeing its potential.
I have read through the Hermes upgrading forums carefully and made sure all is done properly. I have even read through the Mr Vanx step guides in upgrading.
First I decided to use the Orange update from their website.
After making sure the USB cables are connected correctly and allowing the WMDC to sync I proceeded to run the update.
I followed each step and tick the boxes. The phone goes into the tricolour mode or bootloader screen with the following on the screen:
Herm100
IPL-1.01
Herm100
SPL-1.40
On the computer, the window 'verifying your device' is on for few minutes, after this a new window appears indicating: ERROR 260 - update error
This happens again and again, day after day, I have soft reset the device, rebooted the computer, tried both the XP and vista computers, check the usb cable and connections, did everything that is said in the forums, but nothing....
I have even attempted to use the HardSPL program and followed the process to load the black dymond, but same message appears.
Must note that after soft resetting the device the phone returns to its original state, so no harm done. but no upgrade....... Damm...
Help... Any ideas ...... Please....
Many thanks
Danny
UK
Orange SPV M3100 / Hermes 100

Update your WMDC to the latest version.
Then try again
Thanks for your prompt reply...
I thought when I originally installed the WMDC was the latest version as I have downloaded it from the Microsoft windows mobile website....
I have downloaded the appropiate Vista 64 version for my vista machine and the appropiate xp version for my xp laptop...
Did you download the latest version...are you sure??
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
Same problem -> Error 260 if I try to upgade.
Hi
I hve the same issue. Tried on Windows XP and Vista.
Also downlaoded the latest WMDC.
Could that be something with the area code?
I'm in Norway.
For XP should you not be using ActiveSync 4.5?
I re-flahed my M3100. The first attempt it failed, it then recovered itself and the second attemp was successful.
Im sure I have, just downloaded the other day, anyway I have downloaded it again just now, installed it, connected my phone and allowed the sync process to complete. I run the orange update again and still the same message..... Error 260: update error
What SPL version do you have?
To check press and hold BOTH the side ok button and the power button, then insert the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the device.
I have SPL 1.40 Olipro
So i take it you havent read or searched on this error, the orange RUU cannot recognise your device because you have anewer SPL version (HardSPL)...ffs dude had you told us that fact it would have saved you PLENTY of time. You posted you had SPL version 1.40...................you SHOULD have said you have already updated to HArdSPL (1.40.olipro)
follow my Safe WM5 Flashing Guide to get it done.
Sorry if I have wasted your time. I thought that I included the my phone details (SPL and rom etc) on my original message.
I have searched for this error, but I gather I wasn't getting anywhere...
So I thought I would ask for some help and advice....
Anyway thanks for replying with your help. I will check your link straight away.
If I still have problems, I hope it would be ok to ask in this thread.
Thankx Mr Vanx for all your help.
It is now working. I've loaded the WM6 Black IV Shadow rom.
Do you know when there will be a 3G / video dialer for this rom.
Many thanks
Hi MRVANX, i also have the same SPL and my radio is not working. I tried to open the link that you have pasted but the link is broken. Can you please share the info here or on my email address "[email protected]"
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 all.
I tried to update to WM6 on my Dopod 818 Pro with ProphetTouchIXbeta2. It displayed and error and after hard resetting I can only get the splash screen. So I roamed the forum the whole day downloaded a couple of other WM6 packages (I could not get the WM5 files from the WM6 upgrade guide, link is dead). So I downloaded the ROM updates from the HTC websites for the 818 Pro. I can start the 818 Pro into Bootloader, but whatever ROM file I use will tell me Update Error 260 Cannot connect!!
The Bootloader tells me the following: IPL 2.15.0001 / SPL 2.15.0001 and USB connected. Active Sync will not connect.
Sorry, I am a newbie and should have waited for the official upgrade. But I had to try
Thank you in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Markus
Hi,
i had the same trouble some time ago. The false was, that I connect my NEO on an USB Hub, take a direct connection between your PC and your XDA. Also, if it's possible, try another PC. HTH
Put your Prophet in bootloadermode: press Camm button and soft reset at the same time.
In ActiveSync on your PC: DISable connectionsetting "Allow USB connection"
Conect your Prophet to a USBport directly with a cable.
Run a NVID-RUU, perhaps the official VID-RUU doesn't recognize your device anymore.
This should do it.
i can confirm this process
Thanks guys, but the main issue is:
1. I can get into Bootloader
2. BUT ActiveSync does not make a connection with my DEvice in Bootloader and the ROMs I tried cannot connect to my device then.
I tried it on 2 machines (Vista and XP)
Cheers,
Markus

Activesync is not supose to conect to phone in bootloder
just run the wm5
Thanks,
but if I run the WM5 by HTC its only goes to the Verify information screen and after that. it says Error [260]: Connection. The Update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.
And in the beginning of the process it displays a couple of steps, like check that your battery is at least 50% charged and other ssteps, of which one is, that I have to make sure that ActiveSyc is connected.
Cheers,
Markus
Solved
Ok, the issue was that only this file from HTC would do the update: RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship.exe
Alle the others I downloaded would not work, also not the files I got from here. One was by the way full of Viruses !
Thanks for your help guys! Will try to get to WM6 again now

which one was "full of viruses" and how you checked it ?
Sorry should have mentioned it before:
It was Prophet"s_2.20.7.34_2.20.7114_02.69.21
Virus or unwanted program 'W32/Sality.L [W32/Sality.L]'
All .exes were infected in that package.
