Hi,
I have an MDA Compact II ( herm300 ). I am trying to update the software roms etc. Currently the installed versions are:
Rom 1.21.110.3, Rom Date 06/19/06, Radio 1.05.05.00, Protocol 32.36.7010.044
When running the package "RUU_CompactII_2060277_20602110_021921_T-mobileUK_ship.exe" from http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html, I am getting an error [224] device not responding. - The update utility cannot get a response from your PDA phone. ( however the picture of the phone does not look the same as what I have button wise )
I have an active connection with active sync 4.2 ( or later ) on win XP Pro SP2 and can sync contacts etc.
Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks
dont know what the issue is, however I upgraded it from the flash card method and all is working fine.
Hermes 300 is T-Mobile Vario 2 NOT MDA Compact 2
you got the wrong file

hi all,
yesterday I tried an update to windows mobile 2003 on my t-mobile mda I (a "not for sale - for testing only" version I got from anywhere).
After the upgrade I made some tests and saw, that there are some functions not running in this "test version". So I did a downgrade to 3.19.03GER with no problems. But after this downgrade I wasn´t able to use the telephon in my mda I. All tries to start the telephon or a resync via usb or ird hang up the mda and need a warm start. :?:
The radio version on my mda is 3.23.00.
How can I reactivate the telephon and resync function in my mda? Thanks for all ideas!
Or must I send my mda to t-mobile?
regards

hi guys,
thank´s for this great side!
I found the original update to windows mobile 2003 on http://www.mathiaspohl.de/mda, put it on my MMC-card with OSImageTool1.5 and into my MDA with the Wallaby Bootloader Menu (very easy).
After this I had the version 4.00.33 GER in my MDA with still no telephony . So I made again the radio update to 3.23.00... nothing. But after some tests in the Wallaby Bootloader Menu (GSM Tools) all works fine.

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 am trying to upgrade the ROM on my XDAII on advice from 02 - but i cant get it to install! It gets past the release notes and then errors. The error code is 011, saying that it cannot get a connection to the device. This is strange because i can syncronise everything on the phone and even browse its contents directly before and directly after the error!
Help!
I am running win XP Pro SP2 with the following on my XDA2....
XDAII
1.66.00 WWE
1.10.00
hi there,
It sounds like you may still have active sync running. Ensure it is switched off completeley by doing the contr/Alt/delete thingy.
Hope this helps
Hi people,
I'm Luca from Italy, and I'm writing here hoping that You can help me to recover my dead PPC.
My PPC, when living, had Windows Mobile 5 like O.S.
So, As i've some problems with the phone I've decided to downgrade the radio version from 1.17 (people say that it is buggy) to 1.08.
So i run the HimaUpgradeUt_noID (I've also HimaUpgradeUt), but i've forgotten to delete the NK.nbf file from the directory.
I put the PPC in bootloader mode (SERIAL on top and ver. 1.06 on bottom) and then to the cradle directly to the motherboard USB connector
The sofware begin to update upgrading even ROM CE file, but when it arrived at 31% himaUpgrade stopped its work, showing that I need to reset (only normal reset and not soft reset) the PPC From this time until now my PPC show always and only the bootloader view.
When I try to upgrade again, the himalaya soft don't show what my PPC has like rom or radio version. It shows only the Ce rom and Radio that I'm going to ugrade.
It seems that software isn't able to erase ROM IMAGE
Active sync can't identify the device (some time it is indentified as unknown device).
When i start the software for ugrade the Active sync tray icon disappear.
I'm only able to ugrade radio stack or ExtRom.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, HELP ME.
P.S. The device is unlocked

"Edited:- Problem solved, I loaded the upgrade from a different PC. I don't know why my main PC would not work as that is the one I regularly sinc the pocket PC to, but it just kept aborting the upgrade. Anyone else having this problem, try another PC."

Hi Rudegar,
first MANY MANY MANY THANKS for Your support.
I'm very unlucky.
I'm not able to upgrade my PPC.
The strange thing is that i can upgrade Radio Stack and even Extended Rom!
Only CE ROM wont' update.
Previous CE ROM installed was AKU 3.5 and Windows Mobile 5.0
Everythings worked fine.
Non other way?
I've seen that after launched del himaupgradeUt_noID the Activesync tray icon ho away.
My PPC sometimes ins't "seen" by my XP while other times it is "unknown device"
Why Can I only update RADIO and Extended Rom, while CE Rom not?
... P.S.
evey kind of button that I push the PPC is always in Bootloader Mode!
I'ev tryed: POWER + CAMERA + REC + STYLUS over the hole.
When I put the PPC to battery charger, red led is on until nothing is on the display, while when there is the written over the display, led is off.
No way to help me?
No news? I'm so sad

Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship
everything works apart from the syncing with vista and the microdrive on the
device isnt picked up..as if its not there

mob 6 upgrade for the t-mobile ameo

Hmm, im using that rom on my tmob ameo since yesterday. The microdrive works fine and it syncs with vista over my laptop and desktop, not a single problem to report actually.

Click to expand...

YOUR DRIVE is probably broken
No issues with my microdrive either (on that ROM)
microdrive works on T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl etc...
Just Changed rom to the T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl etc...
and everything worked including the microdrive....
but the T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl etc... seems abit slower on the
device than the Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship rom
would it b safe to try again ?
or just be happy with working but slower rom T-MOB005
