Hi there,
Although a frequent reader, this i my first post and I NEED YOUR HELP.
Total loser that i am i accidently run the HimaClearJumpCode.exe on my himalaya instead of the HimaGetDeviceData.exe. And as you stated in another topic: (Warning: DO NOT under any circumstances copy and run HimaClearJumpCode.exe on your device as it will render it unbootable. It is used by the upgrade utility to put you device into bootloader mode prior to upgrading.)
I am now properly F*CKED, please help!!!!!!!!! (if there is a way out of this...) Please also note i do not have the proper country id code to install a new ROM ( Orange Netherlands), which is what started this mess.
Humbly hoping for your help...

Hi guys
First of all thanks for everybody who is just reading this ...
I bought a XDA2i from Ebay (Original O2 - UK) - unlocked it via IMEI-Check - everything works as good as possible - i'am happy with my device.
ROM Version: 1.10.00 WWE
Rom date: 12/24/04
Radio Version: 1.00.00
Protocol Version: 1337.39
Extended ROM: -- (nothing mentioned)
Bootloaderversion: 1.01
But the device is taesing me when i try to update the software. I really tried now everything human possible, i have no clue how i can do the upgrade.
The offizial softare ( picked from the O2 webpage) is goin very well, its th only one i can upgrade - the other Roms doesn't work. I got Error Messages concerning countrie, ROM doesn't fit to my device, connection, bla bla ..
With the patched himalaya setup file its possible to start the ERASING of the ROM - but in the RUU Logfile i can see that the process ist stopped after 3 trials, then i have to make a softreset..
Okay i studied now this forum and a german one POCKET PC Phone , since around 2 weeks - but i found no solution. I tried to change the ROMS Operator / Language by th eROM Editor, as well i tried the HEX Editor solution nothing - my device is laughing at me - and i really get crazy..
Before starting my trials i made a ROM Image on a SD ( everything works ver well ) also i read it from SD and saved it to my pc hardrive by using the programm NTRW.
So in my opinion there must be the opportunity to get from somebody a working IMAGE !!! File ( not ROM , no nbf or the files which are already on the FTP SErver) and write it with NTRW to the SD Card - bring the device in bootloader Modus an install the ROM ??
!!!
Does anybody has a working IMAGE-FILE !! for me ( XDA2i O2 WWE) an is able to save that on the FTP.
I really would appreciate your help, but for me it seems to be the last chance to get a newer software on the device.
thanks a lot in advance
Forgive me if I've got this wrong, but which ROM are you trying to apply to the XDA2i? I've got the same phone and there isn't any official updated ROM to put on it. There is a weird kinda one sitting on the FTP but I suspect it's not complete as there isn't a Windows installer...only what appears to be files to be run from the phone itself.
None of the other ROMs on this board will work on the 2i as they're for other phones.
Cheers
Ant
I wonder why there is no ExtROM in your Andes
Ext. Rom is not installed, why during the new software installation i made a soft reset just before the Ext. Rom was going to install itself on the device.
I had a close look in the forum, i studied it - and there were a lot of guys which wrote they have an XDA2i !! with ROM of TMOBILE or IMATE or whatever - not an original from O2..
And i'am looking for one of this guys, who has an XDA2i and a newer ROM - and this guy should provide me a IMAGE file to be able to write it on a SD card ant ugrade this f* PDA
what happens when you try to re-install the latest rom?
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
yas
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,
I recently had a power cut (yes, a lights off power cut!) that killed my PC half wat through installing the Cingular English CWS__001 1.34.502.1 09/21/06 ?? 1.16.00.00 32.53.7018.01H 14955.2.3.0 ROM onto my SPV 3100.
Now SPV 3100 will boot to the ROM I was running prior to the upgrade but I can't use the telephone. I'm also not able to rerun the upgrade as it got far enough through the process to upgrade my bootloader to 1.06 - therefor rendering me unable to load another ROM.
Before the crash I was using the Imate ROM as below and M3100 was sim unlocked and running on o2 3G
i-mate English CDL__001 1.20.305.3 07/21/06 1.20.305.104 1.07.03.10 32.41.7010.02H 14955.2.3.0 1.04
Please help.
Thanks
If your device is still working ok as a PDA then hopefully it just screwed up the radio update of your device.
Try reflashing the Radio only
Look Here

Post back with results

EDIT: Sorry only works on 1.04 bootloader only. Afraid your gonna have to wait for Pof to come up with a 1.06-1.04 workaround
Hi S.K,
Thanks for the info. I have now tried installing the HERM_1.20.31.10_type2_radio_fixed upgrade but unfortunately the radio upgarde crashes also. It all seams to go well, (after using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe twice) the phone says "Upgrade Radio Stack Please wait" and the progress bar appears on the PC but then after 10 mins I get an ERROR 114: RADIO ROM UPDATE ERROR.
Do you think this might be becuase the last upgarde partly installed bootloader 1.06?
Any other suggestions - I'm desperate to get the hpone on M3100 working again.
Thanks

Please post USB monitor capture, otherwise can't help u.
Hi Pof,
Thanks for the offer, I will sort out the usb software on Monday. Are there specific actions that I should try, obvioosly I will usb monior everthing I do but I want to keep it to the point and not waist yr time trailing through huge log files.
Cheers
BTW - I have tried all options of recovery, such as attempting to install the latest radio and trying to install the new rom from an sd card, trying several roms and using imei unlocker - all without any joy.
I think the problem is that I have partially installed radio and bootloader 1.06 so I can't fix the problem.
Thanks again.
@wotthefok:
For me is faster to look at the usb log file, then I exactly know why the upgrade fails, otherwise I have to decode it from your feedback and I can't be really sure. Check the "upgrading problems" page on the wiki, if none of the steps there seems to fix your problem, post USB monitor log please.
Log Files as requested
Hi,
I have captured information using usb monitor and attached the zipped log files for your attention.
The first is called USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_twice. This log details attempting to install the HERM_1.20.31.10_type2_radio_fixed upgrade, and running it twice - just in case.
The USB_monitor_log_runing_Cingular_1.34.502_11_uprgrade_twice.zip details attempting to install the RUU_HER_Cingular_1.34.502.1_1.16.00.00_wwe_cws_ship upgrade, simply using the standard ROMUpgradeUt.exe method. This generates the expected Vendor ID error.
My primary focus is to install the radio upgare or download my bootloader to 1.04. The PDA part of my m3100 does now freeze occasionally but at least functions whereas the phone is completely dead.
Thanks in advance.
Please attach capture in *ANSI TEXT FORMAT*, the .lgs file you zipped is totally unuseful
Edit -> Export and Save as type "ANSI Text files".
Also make sure you export in "COMPLETE" view, see the wiki for more details.
OK, Spot the novice.... I have now created a txt log file that captures activity of me running the 120 Radio upgarde - but only once this time. I still had to zip the file due to it's size. Hope this is OK.
I'll send the other logs within the next couple of hours. Please let me know if the output I have sent so far is acceptable?
Thanks

No, it's a "basic" capture, you have to export a "complete" capture:
Start USBMonitor.
File -> New session -> USB Monitor -> Select USB device where your phone is connected -> Check "request view" -> Finish
In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".
Right, Try again (duh!) OK, I've tried to keep the log files names as self-explanitory as possible... USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_run1.zip is the r20 radio upgrade, 1st run and USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_run2.zip the second run - without disconneting or resetting the device.
USB_monitor_log_runing_Cingular_1.34.502_11_uprgrade_ran_twice.zip is the Cingular upgrade run via the ROMUpgradeUt.exe, again run twice without disconneting the device.
Hope I got it right this time.....Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Thanks.
This time you got the captures right
- You're on bootloader 1.06: You don't have 'rtask' command, you won't be able to do any radio upgrade only.
- Your device is not CID unlocked (Security level=FF, unprivileged)
- The bad flash caused the CID area to corrupt (CID: Wait interpreter timeout)
- When flashing a full ROM you get a CID not allow (255) this is because your corrupted CID doesn't match the CID on the ROM.
The radio part is screwed, you could have fixed this if you where in bootloader 1.04 by flashing a full ROM, but as you are in 1.06 you can't because of CID checking. But you're lucky because the OS ROM is intact and you can boot the OS, you should be able to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 from OS and flash a full ROM after, which will hopefully fix your radio.
Just wait until a solution to downgrade bootloader is available (I'm working on it).
Hi,
As I suspected.... Suppose it's not all bad news though - just means that I have to be patient and use my communicator once more. Do you know if the guys at IMEI-CHECK have a downgrade solution? Even if it's a pay for option??
I have already got a IMEI-CHECK sim unlock from where I originally got the M3100 unlocked from Orange to work on o2. That said, I have run either unlocker 2 or 3 with the .unl that I know worked I now get
HTC HERMES v3c unlock
Starting communication.........
Checking device..............ERROR
The device you try to unlock is not supported.
Please contact your supplier site.
Device is rebooting
Press any key to quit this application.
I'm currently chatting to the guys at IMEI-CHECK re this problem.
Anything else I can do to assist you in anyway??
Cheers

They have it (M3100v3cUnlock.exe), but it will not work on your device because your IMEI is corrupted and their unlocker will not be able to read it and to check/compare with the .unl key file.
Hi,
Just a quick update. The guys at MIGsofT LTD have VERY VERY generously said they'll have a look at the problem for me so my phone will be winging it's way to them today.
Thanks for your assistance and helping me be certain of the problem and to better understand the root cause.
Hope this information will prove useful to others.
Another quick update...
The guys at IMEI-CHECK (MIGsofT LTD) have rectified problems with my handset and managing to reinstall bootloader 1.04 in the process!!
They also turned my phone around in under three days and only charged me the cost of postage! I had previously been a customer of theirs but it was still a very generous and helpful offer and I would certainly pay for the service than have a duff handset - after all £250 + for a paperweight is rather excessive....
If you're experiencing a problem like mine why not get in touch with them and offer them money to have a look at your handset? No Guarantees but it seemed like my last chance, for a while anyway.
Praise to IMEI-CHECK for a brilliant service - they are King of the day !!
Hi,
I just flashed my HTC 7500 with SPL 1.2 by installing AthenaWrapper which went through successfully. After upgradation , I flashed the ROM with SPL3.5_R6.5_B3_WM6.5_B21198.rar which also got installed successfully with no errors at all. However after installation , when the HTC was starting , it is just stuck at white screen and does not go ahead at all. I have tried all things including hard reset , but the phone does not come out of the white screen.
Can someone please help URGENTLY ? have I missed something during the installation ? How can I get the unit to boot atleast . In the bootloader screen , the SPL does show as 1.2.
Kindly help please ???
Thank you.

Hi there,
You have answered your own question. you up graded to spl1.2 and then flashed with an spl3.5 rom. you should have flashed an spl 1.2 rom. To use an spl 3.5 rom you need to upgrade again with AP4.0 rom that has the upgrade built in. there is no other way of doing it.
Now you will have to fix your athena with THIS HELPread from post 33onwards, and please read the athena WIKI.
Best of luck
Jay
Hello Jay,
Thanks for your quick reply. How do I get the Athena connected to my PC now ? I can't connect it through Activesync as it does not boot and is in white screen. Also I tried to put it in boot loader mode and then run the updater.exe but it displays a 'Timeout message ' whether the device is coonected and that Active sync is running ?
Can I install 1.2 ROM if that's possible ? If yes , can you let me know which ROM with SPL 1.2 ver can work ? I am just worried now as my Athena may be completely dead and I can't use it.
Can you help ? Thanks once again.
Hi Jay , Folks,
I am writing the codes that I see when I put Athena in bootloader mode :
[email protected])
IPL-v1.00
[email protected]$)
SPL-v1.20.Olipro
From this info , can it be fixed ? Please help
Thanks
Hi superlifer
welcome to the joys of flashing!
Jay has given you a solution to your problem.
Guess what!
You are not the first person to make the mistake you have made and it is documented in several places.
Jay pointed you to the specific post that will fix your problem but he also mentioned you should read the wiki.
i will add to this that you should also read the sticky threads at the top of this forum which include "the beginners guide to upgrading the ROM"
and another thread titled "How to FIX INVALID MODEL ID after bad flashing"
You have corrupted the radio by trying to flash an SPL3.5 ROM onto a phone formatted for SPL1.2.
These roms are different sizes and it wont fit, leading to the unintended consequence.
As I said in the beginners guide , you can flash from bootloader(the 3 coloured screen"
I hope all new owners read this thread and the others I mentioned as it will help prevent the angst you are feeling.
regards lakeman
Hello Jay, Lakeman, Cmonex,
Absolutely brilliant !!
My Athena is breathing again and is out of the dead white screen. I followed the steps to fix the model id and wifi (from CMonex ) and was able to overwrite the model id successfully. I then flashed it with ROM WM6.1 MULTILANG R6.1 MiChY which also got installed successfully. On bootloader screen it now shows as:
ATHE100
IPL-v1.00
ATHE100
SPL-v1.20.Olipro
Many thanks first of all to you all and your timely reponses and perfect guidance.
I just want to know now which is the best stable SPL1.2 ROM now which i can install. I want to install 1.2 ROM with HTC Plugin and the big Digital clock and also which will have GPS. My previous ROM had QuickGPS which doesn't seem to be there now and is there way I could get it back. How can I use GPS on Athena.
Apologies as this device is completely new to me i am still getting used to its functions by reading lot of articles and WIKI for this model.
I am scared to put SPL3.5 as I might break something again. My donation is on its way.
Cheers
Just update to the 3.5 spl much much easier that way instead of waiting for anyone to backport their stuff to the 1.2 spl
Hello, I am in serious trouble! I got a brand new HTC Athena with Windows Mobile 5.0. I succesfully upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6.0.
All was OK.
Than I was interested to move into Windows Mobile 6.1 and possibly 6.5. At first I did the Athena unlock (3 step process) and all went OK: Antenna 1.5.0, SPL 1.2 OLI....
THAN I DID MY ERROR! I try to upgrade my 6.0 ROM with the Micky 6.1 cooked file with SPL 3.5. After a 92 percent upgrade, the ROM crashed and now I always get a nasty black screen with few lines (No 3 color bands!). When I try to upgrade again the same ROM or ROM for SPL 1.2 I get an error (ID mismatching). I guess the only solution is a hard and full reset of the Windows. But doing only a hard reset with the PDA will NOT change my error message and I will keep see this nasty black screen and I cannot load the Windows ActiveSync application-
I am totally lost. Help please. Any tool for a true full restore/recover??? (I did NOT make any backup!).
This thread might hold a solution to your problem.
Hi
If you follow the instructions exactly in post 33, it will solve your problems. just click HERE

Hello, those links are basically for corrupted wifi antenna files.-
In my case my HTC Athena crashed the Windows 6 ROM while I was attempting to upgrade, after unlocking the phone, the Athena from version 6.0 to version 6.1
Are you sure I can use the post #33 also for my specific trouble?
Thank you in advance!
this is also to repair your bootloader-infos
if you look at your bootloaderscreen, you will see ATHE100, IPL, ATHE100, SPL. if not, you have to repair it
make sure you flashed the right rom, spl 1 or 3.5
How can the bootloader get repaired?
yes use that link, post #33. fixes both wifi and modelid problems and bootloader problems when you got stuck at 92% of the flashing process.
Cannot re flash ROM
Please help! I tried the unlocker and it failed at 92% and since then I have no WM6. Then I tried to flash the Michy WM6.5 and that failed. I was getting model id errors so I did the mtty and mac1 fix which was succesful. However all I can get now is a grey screen on boot-up. I can get to the bootloader screen and it displays ATHE100, IPL-v2.02, ATHE100, SPL-v1.20. Olipro. From what I have read on the forum at this stage I should run a RUU to flash a WM6 ROM but all that I try can't connect because no OS running to connect with Activesync? Is there a way to flash from the bootloader? The other option seems to be putting an image and flasher on a miniSD but I can't find clear instructions for this or which files?
Please ignore - my battery wasn't charged enough. Replaced battery and recovered device.
Still Major Problem! Help me! Have mercy!
Hello Responderman, all,
I have follow the link (thread 33)...., however, after I have typed lnbs filename.bin 75108000 (I have SPL 1.2), I got in mtty the "code entrypoint unknown" message, which should be ok......
However, after I have disconnected the usb cable of the Athena from the PC and try to reboot it, I got again the exact same, nasty, dark screen with blue strips.....:-( It means that my damaged firmware has NOT been fix and in fact I am still NOT able to boot WM successfully!
PLEASE HELP. It is 3 months with this problem and I cannot use my device.:-(
Still Major Problem! Help me! Have mercy!
Hello Responderman, all,
first, how can I get the mac address of my device? It is NOT written anywhere in the Athena parts (checked in the battery bay and so on.....), and so when I run mtty i am in trouble! I have used a mac address got from my company's manager, but not sure it is ok to use it with the Athena!
Anyway,......I have follow the post link (thread 33)...., and followed the various steps.- However, after I have typed lnbs filename.bin 75108000 (I have SPL 1.2), I got in mtty the "code entrypoint unknown" message, which should be ok......

Can you tell what you've actually done after you've changed ROM with Mtty?
I done the thing with Mtty but just as you described when I reset it now I still get the grey screen. And if I try to update ROM it fails again on 92%
where did you find the upgrade from wm5 to wm6?
the link I found on rapidshare seems not be availabel anymore
