Hello,
I tried to upgrade my SPV M1000 to WM5. I followed the procedure and ran the device in bootloader mode. I put the device on the cradle and it displayed USB and V1.06. Ok sounded good.
I started then the HimaUpgradeUt.exe program on the PC. The problem is HimaUpgradeUt.exe didn't find the mobile device at all. After maybe 1 minute looking to it displayed an error 101 message.
I tried different things : install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5 (no change)
I tried to connect the device with mty and it worked !
I tried to run HimaUpgradeUt.exe with the SPV running WM2003 and it found the device. I didn't try to upgrade in this mode anyway.
Any help is very welcome.
is your machine with win vista also?
as you said that you tryed to install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5, guess its WinXP. if its 2000/WinXP/win2003 then use only 4.2 version of ActiveSync. don't know why but i can only have sucess with that version. check for any security software that may block COM. with ActiveSync-Pocketpc.
that HimaUpgradeUt.exe you use is for your model? as im not an expert on this matter, don't know if your precise phone is a himalaya, maybe thats the prob. ehehhe then maybe not as im not aware of all the brands this peace of tech can became!
do right click on my computer and select manage, goto device manager and see for a mobile entry there, while your pocket is connected in serial/usb boot mode. there must be a windows ce device there for this to happen, and you should, not a must, but try to shut activesynch down while doing this detection with HimaUpgradeUt
Yes I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2. I installed activesync 4.2 again and disabled the firewall. I can see windows detecting the device when I put it on the cradle. But there is still the 101 error message when I try to run the update.
Vista and upgrade
Firstly thanks to marcjero for guiding me to this thread...
secondly... I had no probs at all, syncing my device with vista's WMDC(Windows mobile device center), apparently I tried to flash my device... and yes its an i-mate XDA II, currently running on C_ShekharAKU3.5.R40.P24_public_ROM and want to update to the latest one... apparently, connected my device to my system in bootloader mode... and well since then my system has a prob detecting my device... and I cannot even sync now... when i try to run HimaUpgrade, get the same 101 error code... :-(
any ideas how to get this thing working again?
PS: its seriously frustrating for me
use the "HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe " instead the "HimaUpgradeUt.exe"
download it HERE!
install the latest Active Sync...version 4.5
Syncing in Vista is no problem but as i said from other thread...i tried but not working...you cannot flash the device except in winxp...
Regards!

syncing not working either...

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.
I have been trying to update my 8525 using my vista computer but it never worksi do have a xp but i dont feel like going all this work when i can just use my vista computer?
Could you do it?
search the forum for vista drivers, I always go to BOTTLOADER mode before I flash a ROM, try it.
use the search, use the WIKI.
Are you running Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1?
i havnt had to bother playing around with drivers after a clean install of Vista and latest version of WMDC.
I've been able to flash directly from RUU, while phone is in Windows Mobile.
I'm running Vista and I have no trouble upgrading my ROM.
But I have installed the latest Windows Mobile Device Centre upgrade. Before that it wouldn't work properly.
You should be able to get it via the Windows Update page (optional software, I think).
If not, wait till the end of the month when SP1 is released, and it should be included in that.
Anyway of doing this?

Thank you ranova!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you soooooooo much!!! I have been going CRAZY trying to update my ROM while in bootloader mode. (I could never get it to work that way.) I was too scared to try it while in Windows Mobile mode. I saw your post and saw that this was the way you did it and it worked for you. I tried it and hey, it WORKED!!!! Thanks again!!!
i tried updating the rom, which i have done a few times before, but this time i tried to update it in windows 7, i did not secceed and eventually i got the tree color screen, then i moved to my xp machine and i tried upgrading there, everything was going fine, and just when i the upgrade process was about to finish i got the tree color screen again. i read the vista rome upgrade tutorial and my win7 had the proper vista drivers installed. could i consider my device bricked????

I don't think your device is bricked you need to install those vista drivers properly a Flash failing at 90 - 95% is common if those drivers have not installed correctly
Follow this guide here it has pictures and works for most users (you need to connect to USB in bootloader to install the drivers on win 7)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485293
When you have done that try to flash the nvid recovery ROM to restore your prophet to factory win5 (Then you will need to Unlock and hardspl again if you want to upgrade)
I can not enter bootloader, and i can not establish connection with the pc. I installed the drivers, no change, my screen still stays with the tree colors, i still can not manage to get any of the RUUs wirking.

The three colour screen is bootloader
The problem is loading the drivers in vista i have found a different tutorial try this one
Please note that you are the only person having trouble flashing on win 7 follow the tutorials or we will get bored with your post
Only follow this thread for driver install the rest is not for your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4194862&postcount=2
When the drivers are installed correctly follow my recovery post above
Thanks for the support, i followed the abovegiven instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4194862&postcount=2). 10a did not appear and the date in 12 was 2004 not 2003. Strange new thing happened, the phone restarts itself automatically, so i removed the battery now.
Anyways, i belive that it was time for my prophet to retire. Thank you all for all of the support and all different roms, great job, great community, the greatest of ots kind. Unfortunately i will not be able to participate here with my new phone, i got Sony Ericsson Satio.
Wishing the best of luck for all the forum members,
With kind regards,

P.S. Please inform me if you create a Symbian subforum Thanks once again
Hi, first of all I would like to apologize for my English.
After installing this ROM dynamics7 2.0 ZUNE longer detect my phone. I tried to reset the phone but it did not work. The USB cable is definitely good because he installed the ROM.
I tried different roms but it did not work. Trying on another computer or do not give. The phone is not detected by the Zune. mistake can be seen in the computer drivers. the system can not retrieve them. I will add that the installation of Roma do not have any problems.
What could it be?

Restart the device in bootloader mode and look for the word "serial" to change to "USB". If so, you have a connection to your PC

Zune does not detect my phone when connected nothing happens. I'm only in device manager two errors:
1.The Windows has stopped this device because of the reported problems. (Code 43)
2.driver this device are not installed. (Code 28)
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
Please help because I do not know what to do with this phone.
I think that when I go into a different mode vol-+ power zune starts but displays an error (the device can not be restored to a previous version)
Of course, before installing custom roms I did not have this problem.

Zune is the latest version from the download of microsoft (4.8.2345.0). zune is installed on Windows 8 I would add that before the original ROM (before flashing custo rom) everything worked. I tried on another computer without success. I have uploaded a clean Tango, without effect.

I've inserted a correction here...I restarted by device in bootloader mode and plugged it into my laptop; Zune did not start; however, the letters "USB" do appear in the center-bottom. Rest of post remains the same...You may view your device from your PC's File/Windows Explorer by changing 3 zune driver entries via your PC registry editor and when the device is on wi-fi, you may also view other folders that are on your windows phone. My PC is running Windows 8 Professional. It is important to check if your computer and its drivers are compatible with what you're attempting to do. I don't use Zune for my multi-media copying to and from my device. I use the professional version of Windows for it's easier compatibility such was WMDC 64-bit. I don't pretend to know whether I get, don't get, have or do not have your problem; what I do know is leave no stone unturned; double check everything on your PC for compatibility...are all your drivers updated for example. I have an older 32-bit Dell Inspiron E-1505 I upgraded to 4 GB RAM and upgraded it from XP to Windows 7 Enterprise Edition (not Home Premium) and from time to time whether it was my device or my Win 8 PC; sometimes they wouldn't play nice, thus I have the same setup on my Win 7 machine and if that didn't work; pull out my Hiren's Boot Mini XP Thumb drive and enjoy some old school computing; maybe I don't get it, where I'm from, we call it Plan B...improvise!

I tried on windows 7 pro 64 bit and win 7 home premium. It did not work. In bootloader mode to install the drivers successfully but the Zune does not detect the phone in this mode. Including the phone in normal mode, the driver installation error pops up device not recognized. Zune without the driver does not detect the phone. Previously the phone was detected under the name HTC Titan X310 is now htc eternity.

I'm running Windows 8 Pro on my desktop; both WMDC and Zune will run when I plug my Titan into the laptop; by that I mean I'm at my Start Menu and Tiles; not Bootloader or USB Host Mode. I know that because the HTC Titan appears twice in my File Explorer on my laptop. Though my device is HSPL, I did restart my device in bootloader mode and plugged it into my laptop; it did not start Zune but it did read USB center-bottom. I may in due time get me another Titan I to play with but there's no way I'm risking my device to any further experimentation now that she's unlocked all the way and running 7.8 and runs as smooth as a baby's butt.

I've never used the Dynamic ROMs but I can't stand using Zune so I tweaked my registry to make my Titan visible via Windows/File Explorer, I'm curious as to whether any of you with this problem can connect your devices to the developer tools with Windows Phone 7.x for side loading apps.
