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'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.
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=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.

Hi everybody...
I have a question..
How can i connect my Startrek with my Motorola w385 Jefferson. This is to use my unlimited data plan that i have with motorola (Iusacell, Mexico).
This procedure can i do with a Pocket PC (Like my old XDA Flame) But with a Smartphone is to much difficult. I can´t find how.
Any comments or suggest?
Maybe changing the ROM. But i have other issue.. My USB connection are dead. The port are dead and i can not change the ROM.. Maybe flashing with microSD ?...
Thanks to everyone...

Thanks Man.. But i did not explain very well..
The thing that are dead is not my USB's Ports (In my laptop or PC), in fact it is my USB 12-Pin Connector (In my cellphone), at this moment i have a external battery charger for keep using this amazing device and i can not send to repair this because is too much money (It's more cheaper buy another phone)...
So, it is the reason that i asked after if with the MicroSD maybe change the ROM. Any suggest again?. I appreciate that.
Thanks.

What ROM are you using now? There are some official ROMs that have Bluetooth DUN that could be flashed from µSD. The original Cingular 3125, for example. I can't say whether it would connect properly to your device, though.
You have checked that your phone doesn't already have it, correct? In the 3125, it was located in the Accessories folder and called "Wireless Modem".
Startrek BT DUN.. and Flashing Micro SD card.

Nop... I don´t have it... This program can connect my Motorola w385 like modem to use in my Startrek? or this is for use my Startrek like modem with a PC?
Thanks a lot.
I really want to flash a WM6.1 Professional but my USB 12-pin port is dead. Can i do this using SD Card (I did already a SuperCID Unlock years ago.)
Salute.
