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

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?
Hi ,
I had 1.72.00wwe on my phone but i was tryin 2 upgrade it further but it got stuck while upgrading and its showing seril while not on cradle and while on cradle its showing usb 1.06
plz hlp me iam newbee and not good in programmin .I also have asecond Xda2 with 1.66.00wwe plz tell if it can b of any help
Reset your device, place it in the cradle and re-run the upgrade.
thanx i tried it already from 2 computers in one its showing error 103 no rom image found and in another its showing error 101 country code problem
Which ROM are you attempting to upgrade to? Which one exactly had you previously upgrade to? What operator do you use?
I'm asking all this to try and get a better picture. Normally, people in your situation can recover by applying the same upgrade again, or, at worst, re-applying the one they are upgrading from.
Make sure you are in bootloader mode (by pressing Jog button and Power button at the same time as pressing reset) before retrying any upgrade. Also make sure the USB cradle is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not through a hub and that the power supply is connected to the cradle. It may help to make sure that Activesync isn't running also.
active sync
in the active sync tray it shows that not connected
Well i had 1.72.00wwe rom image 1.14 earlier and iwas tryiong to upgrade to 1.72. something can't remember exactly but it was with rom image 1.17 it was downloaded from t mobile and my current phone is from o2

Activesync is not needed for upgrades. The upgrade process looks after its own connection. I suggest you follow the procedures in my post here to overcome the Country ID error problem. You will need to know what the device's operator and language IDs are currently set to, which is why I asked you above. I suspect you won't have Devicedata.txt, so it becomes necessary to know what operator and language the previous upgrade was.
to revive your XDA2 again
The main point is what is ROM 1.66 come from (e.g. i-mate ot T-mobile)
If you doesn't upgrade 1.66 ROM by yourself or it came from factory ,you must tell us which operator did you buy from.
If you try upgrade across operator ,it will hang on boot loader screen.
And again, which 1.72 ROM did you try to upgrade from?

WM2005 Hard Reset
Press power putton
Then press Record Button
Then Press Camera Button
Then with Stylus press Reset Button
Use the recorder button and the camera butoon to scroll and change values.
In your screen you can see 3 options.
1 Kit = YES ------------------ change this to NO
2 Register Hive= No -------- should remain NO
3 Storage = No ------------- change this to YES
then press the big round button(nav pad between the call and call end buttons)
the device reboots.
you go to bootloader by press Power + round big button + soft reset, then downgrade
no need to hard reset
ActiveSync doesn't work
I can't downgrade to WM SE because ActiveSync does not work
I could downgrade using bootloader mode nevertheless ActiveSync did not connect my device.
I have uninstalled AS 4.0 and installed AS 3.8, but it doesn't work! I can connect my XDA II. Could you tell me what is the reason?
Yazzon,
I have downgraded without any issues. A matter of fact, I kept Active Sync 4.0 instead of going back to 3.8
What is the issue with Active Sync, have you tried uninstall and reinstall? Which version of Active Sync are you using?
I've reinstalled AS versions: 3.7, 3.8, 3.8 - Polish. After reinstallation, when I cradle my device, AS connect XDA II but I can't explore device and I can't synchronize. I reinstalled AS many times but no results.
In order to return from wm2005 to wm2003se I used himaupgradeut_197.exe in bootloader mode and the original file nk.nbf of wm2003. To me he worked to me.
I used activesync 4.0.0.
Also it is possible to install wm2005 again using himaupgradeut_197.exe.
Please Help me! Can't downgrade!!!!
I tried: himaupgradeut_197.exe in Serial Mode
I tried: hard reset. Didn't really do anything
What did I do wrong. Always get a connection error... 101
Please Help!
In order to upgrade to 2005, you have used himaupgradeut_197.exe?
ive downgraded by puting it 2 boot loader mode and then put it in the cradle (with AC 4.0) and then run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe from my rom.
and it was 2003se again
Downgraded from WM2005 to 2.20
:arrow: I downgraded from WM2005 to 2.20 without any problems .
Extended ROM sill working .
And I am keeping ActivSync 4 becouse giving me no problems .
By the way ... My ActiveSync 4 Build 4328 .
Is it the latest one ?
I think the key to a sucessful downgrade from WM2005 is to keep AS 4.0 on the machine while you have WM2005 on your PPC. After the downgrade you can go back to AS 3.8. In my case I decided to keep it .
However I ran into one issue with AS 4.0 after the downgrade. After installing MS Voice Command 1.01, I tried to upgrade to MS Voice Command 1.5 and it keeps complaining about not being able to find previous versions. I went to another machine with AS 3.8 and tried the same thing with the same files and I had no issues.
Nonetheless I am keeping AS 4.0 until I run into something I don't have a workaround.
I got AS 4.0. I did not upgrade with..._197.exe. I did it with some other.
Maybee someone can give me a link to a clean 2003se without any nicknack? Maybee that works. Used the aussie version. To downgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Upgrade WM2005 with bootloader v. 1.06
Hi all!
Has there anyone upgrading to wm2005 with bootloader version 1.06? Thought of trying it too, just that afraid can't downgrade to wm 2003 SE. Coz I'm aware of dcs threads, with bootloader version 1.06 it isn't likely to downgrade from wm 2003 se to a normal ppc 2003(of which is of the original rom). Hope to hear inputs. thanks.

When i want to downgrade i always get a connection error and then my active sync is not working anymore until restart of my pc. Any suggestions? Using as 4

From which Rom version are you trying to downgrade? What is your bootloader version?
Downgrade to WM 2003 SE
To those having problems in downgrading, this might help...
I was just trying out of the thrill for the new wm 2005. Before that my previous Rom version was WM2003 SE. Flashing to wm 2005 was rather smooth sailing; there isn't any hindrances like country id error code and so forth.
Thanks for those threads from the geekz here like softworkz, xda2jojo, dewild1(who's been reincarnate into a new creature at xda-developers ), and other geekz who's involved in this so called immature(by MS) project. I was literally read their threads and get the ideas from it.
Was initially excited on the new OS, but when I start to touch on it, oh well, it's too good to be true... Nah not to critize much of this... The bottom line, it's a total new looks and new sounds, especially on the click at the start menu, I kinda like that new sound... Good interface but it has lots of buts...; camera button wasn't bound, so when click on camera button is just like a dummy button...
While I'm typing this, my downgrade process is still working at the background, so I pretty much believe that it gona work as it still does the process, so confidently would want to contribute what I did to downgrade.
1) Sit back relax, don't panick = it doesn't/will never bring to solution. Take a deep breath and always feel with hope
2) All you need is to be able to get the device into bootloader mode, my bootloader version is 1.06, so wouldn't be sure if it works on other version, hopefully yes.
3) During the bootloader mode, dock your xda 2 onto the cradle, and get ready of your previous Rom files, double click on HimaUpgradeUt.exe and just wait for it to start doing the magicX...
I hope I didn't misss any step here, even if I did, please excuse me, coz i'm just a newbie hehe....
Ok hopes of getting back your xda 2 alive is yet to process, just fireaway

go to bootloader b/4 you put your device into cradle
Weeeeeell -
i have no clue why! but I managed to get it running.
I just inserted into the cradle and it worked!
Sometimes you just have to go to bed and try it the next morning
Only thing I did was to pull out the Battery over night... Maybee that did something.
Just for Info:
Bootloader V1.02
ROM : Can't See is just upgrading @ moment.
Btw: The good thing about Wm2005 it is working even if you have no energy anymore... No data will be lost. The Bad thing you lose 128 megs of Ram...
i suggest 2 read this:

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

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
Hello, this is my first post.
I have bought an SPV M3100 (HTC Tytn). It is my second WinMo phone with touchscreen (first was Eten x500). I've unlocked it (SIM and SuperCID). I've seen here some WM6.5 roms, but they ware moded. I want a CLEAN (original) version of WinMo 6.5 (to customize it myself how i like). I want the WWE version (Romania).
Also, I want to know if WinMo 6.5 have Mass Storage option for card, or i will need a 3rd party program (becouse i don't like ActiveSync) ?

Hi all of you!
I have a Hermes (HTC Tytn/ Orange SPV M3100) and i succesfully tried a lot of ROM’s until these days..
But, this happened:
During upgrade of a ROM, i made the mistake to disconect the device from the PC..
And, now the problem is that i can’t boot ANY OTHER ROM!
I can enter to BootLoader , where i see
HERM100
I PL – 1.04
HERM100
SPL – 2.03
ALSO, i CAN connect to PC (it displays „usb” & i see it on Device manager)
(PC run Vista Ultimate 64 bit).
But, when i try to upgrade ANY ROM , the process starts, BUT STOPS at 0% ? .
I searched & read 4 days for a SOLUTION to make my phone alive again..
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Is a REAL solution for this issue?
Please reply.
Thanks!
