I have been reading through the posts and was wondering if anyone has made the serial cable to unlock from the small power adapter dongle thing! I have the serial connector and used pins 2,3,5 for rx, tx and ground (which i asume is all i need to unlock)but which pins would i use to connect these to in the power adapter thing. Would be so gratefull for any help. Also what does it mean to use bootloader.
thanks
Bod
a little closer
I made the cable how i thought. when i use xd manipulator on my xp pc it just takes ages and then says it has stoped responding. I tried on my laptop running windows 98 and xd manipulator says found xda on com1 in boot mode but does not show anything else or go any further. Any ideas on this would be apreciated. I will unlock this thing!!!!! :twisted:
Could someone please tell me if the cable only using rx tx and ground is correct for unlocking with xd manipulator or do i need a cable with all the wires connected as in a serial hotsync cable. Also if i use hyper terminal and put xda in bootloader mode i get all the inforation about the xda come up(processor and memory etc) but how do i enter dualser and the next command as i cant see anything on the screen. I have typed dualser but nothing happens. Thanks again.
just to let everyone know i have unlocked my xda using hyperaccess using the dualser command etc. My orange sim is working perfectly. Thanks to everyone for looking. I hope someone else can unlock this way. It was easy in the end
would u plz share,how did u unlock ur ppc.also give information about ur home brewed cable,did u use only rx tx gnd or all wires.
How do I reset the call timers of incoming and outgoing under Settings -> System -> Device Information -> Call Duration
There is simply no option for me to reset it.
I think you jave to use the XDA Manipulator...
HTH

If i will to use the XDA Manipulator, I will need to get a serial cable just for the sake of resetting the timer.
Is there other alternative beside using the XDA Manipulator? All I want is to keep track of my mthly incoming/outgoing call time.

on the top of my head
i would say that it's in the registry
could be wrong though
re
have a look here http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php?article=494
it's not exactly what you were looking for no doubt and to be honest I ahve not tried it yet, but the principle is sound.
Cheers, Shire
ARGH! I'm completely sick and tired of meddling with all options given to me to monitor the call duration.
I have decided to get myself a serial sync cable with the XDA Manipulator just for the sake of monitoring my total call duration.
Just before I did that, I have a few questions.
1) What kind of serial sync cable must I get? Can the XDA serial cable works?
2) Do I need to hard reset my XDA II whenever I access the XDA Manipulator window? Is it that all I need to do is sync the PDA with the serial cable connected to my PC just like how the USB works?
Thanks
Don´t know how (and if) the xda manipulator works with the XDA II.
At the old xda devices entering the bootloader performs a hard reset. so, all data will be lost.
Maybe the manipulator isn´t the right choice for you. (I don´t know how often you will reset the timers...)
Using serial cable is the same like using usb cable. Main difference ist, that the battery won´t be charged with the serial.
Regards
Stefan
I will have to reset the call duration every 1st day of the month. I wouldn't want to hard reset mthly just for the sake of the call duration.
Why can't O2 have an option for us, consumer to reset the damn thing!!!
Pardon me for pointing out the obvious but why don't you just hit the big reset button on the screen when you're looking at the Call Duration.
From the phone screen...Call History.....Tools......Call Timers.......RESET!
Mine works fine.
is there additional software which i can install? My HTC touch does not have the Call Timer plug in. Surprisingly.
Hi Guys,
New to the ppc scene, so please be gentle!
I've had a search through the forum, and can't find the answer to my problem, so please help me, if you can.
I have just been given an imate jam by my dad, his old work phone. It hasn't been used for approximately 6 months, so I had to charge the battery (and back up battery) to get it up and running.
Now I've got it charged up and switched on I've encountered a problem:
When I connect my Jam to my PC (XP Pro) it lights up the charge LED but then nothing, no installing drivers or anything. When I start activesync it doesn't see the Jam, when I go to device manager on my pc it's not there.
The Jam has also reset itself a few times, so I was thinking I should upgrade/reflash the software - but I can't do that when the PC doesn;t see the Jam.
Have I missed something, done something stupid or is the Jam knackered? Any help would me muchos appreciated
Many thanks in advance.
My device is an imate jam, details below:
ROM Version: 1.03.00 WWE
ROM Date: 11/01/04
Radio Version: 1.01.00
Protocol Version: 1337.38
Ext ROM Version: 1.03.163 WWE
Not sure if this helps anyone help me with my problem, but thought the more information the better!
Thanks in advance for you help
Check your connection settings in ActiveSync.
Ok, I've just tried the settings you suggested, though for some reason I can only select COM4?? I'm using activesync version 4.1.4841.0
When I try and connect I get the error shown in the attached image
Although some have had luck with AS4.x, others as well as myself have experienced that it doesn't work very well with the Magician. Use AS3.8 and it works flawlessly.
ok, I've changed to activesync v3.8 and still no joy - it just goes in circles looking for the device on COM4
I'm showing:
COM1 Not Installed
COM2 Not Installed
COM4 Available
Infrared Port Not Installed
USB USB is Available
This is driving me crazy!!
Normally when the magician is plugged in to the usb port, windows should recognize this and go through the usual driver installation procedure. If not disconnect the magician, switch off all settings in AS and reboot your PC. After the PC has booted and you logged-in, connect the magician to a different usb port. If the windows plug+play install routine does not appear, go to control panel and add the device manually. Once the device is added, then put back your settings in AS.
ok, 2 reboots later!!
when I connect it (on a different port) all that happens is the LED goes Orange to indicate that its charging - no drivers are installed.
When I go to Add Hardware it can't find the Jam (tried changing the port) and if I go to device manager its not there (not even with a ! Warning next to it).
I'm now trying to add it from a list, but I can't find imate or HTC in the list of manufacturers.
I'm totally stumped, this is insane!
Any more ideas?
Try hard resetting the magician then check AS settings in the magician also.
I've done a hard reset and rebooted my pc again, still nothing, even when I try and add it manually.
I've even tried connecting in bootloader mode, but that won't work either!
Could it be a hardware fault? Or more likely a software thing?

Hi
I had the same problem today, it turned out to be a faulty cable(brand new spare). I used a different cable and all is good.
:wink:
I've now tried 3 different cables, 2 latops and a desktop PC and am having the same problem no matter what - I reckon my Jam's screwed up somehow!
Take a look on the connector, try to clean it(with alcohol preferably and with battery out of jam). You have to have AS installed before you connect the jam to pc for the first time, otherwise it will cause problems. Did you try BT connection to active sync? Did it work? Did your dad experience these problems too?
Ok, there's definately a problem with my device.
I can pair it up via BT and transfer files etc, but as soon as I connect with Activesync I get the same error message as I posted earlier in this thread.
I've tried cleaning the mini-usb port (battery out) with alcohol, still no joy.
Spoke to my dad, says he never used activesync, just used it as a phone and a sat nav, nothing more.........
Starting to get really wound up by this now. Unless anyone has any other ideas (dropping it from a great height??!!) I think I'm gonna have to send it to a repair centre for them to have a look at it
i had an intermittent problem like this wherw windows would say a USB device connected to the system was malfunctioning etc..
It cleared up after a while donno why... when uve connected the JAM, wiggle the connector around a bit and see if anything happens....
The message you get is not necesarilly caused by faulty device, I got that message many times before I was able to properly configure my active sync over BT.
the cable supplied with imate jam looks like a normal mini usb cable but its not.
its different then the mini usb cable. You cant use a mini usb cable (from ur camera,card reader etc.) with your imate jam.
Once I used my camera mini usb cable with imate jam and i got the same error which omhaigh is having. Netither Windows recognize my imate jam nor activesync. I plugged in my imate jam cable and it was all good again.
In short, you need cable supplied with imate jam to connect it with pc.
The Magician's USB cable is a standard one. I've been using various USB cables on my laptop. home desktop, and office PC without any problems.
yeah, it is completley standard, ive used 5 different cables and all work,
I've now tried a whole host of PC's and Laptops at work, using several mini usb cable and bluetooth (both built in and dongle on different machines) following the advice above and in the BT active sync thread.
No matter what I do (including cleaning the ports with alcohol etc) I get no joy what so ever, and always end up with the same result!!
I've read that connecting the device to a pc before installing activesync can cause problems.......I'm starting to think that perhaps my dad's done that and either can't remember or is too embarrassed to admit it! Is there a fix if this is what has happened?
I'm guessing its gonna have to go to a repair centre

Re-plug the USB cable, and enter bootloader mode (hold camera, power, and push reset).
Then reflash the whole things... (You must use maupgradeno-ID)

Hi
I became the owner of unknown Elf. I know only this one was purchased on eBay then bricked by flashing incompatible firmware.
Today the Elf switching on and i can see the welcome screen only. When i connect the pda to my computer Activesync try to recognize, but can't obtain IP address (tried all the found Activesync IP address solutions, but no way). When i try to enter to bootloader (Camera + Reset) or make a hard reset (Red+Green+Reset) , i see the same welcome screen.
When the powersupply connected lights the blue led and Reg and Green buttons. When connected to the switched off, charging accumulator animation appears.
I tried to find JTAG contacts how read on pda2u forum, but no way too. No contacts in the place because the PCB is different (See atachments), but OMAP 850 onboard.
Anybody knows where can be JTAG pins on this board?
What i can do more to debrick?
You sure this was from a genuine HTC? Did you remove the stickers on the board?
Looks odd compared to the HTC Touchs I have....
Thank you for your reply, captainstu72.
I think, is not original, regarding Dopod site shortcuts in the firmware. But i obtained this PDA w/o any stickers, the glue only.
I reanimated this PDA by finding Hard reset combination (Green+Ok+Reset) but can't enter to the bootloader (not shortcuts [Camera+reset; ], nor EnterBootloader.exe does not works for this device)
As thats the case (the HTC shortcuts not working) I would suggest this is a clone.
You can trace the JTAG points yourself, it should just be a case of finding what pin out is what on the omap chip, and finding where it ends up. There should be a fair few bits on the internets about this, however, can take a bit of searching from my history with JTAG.
If you do it successfully, please bear in mind you will need to use the firmware for that phone, and the ELF firmware would not necessarily work.
I do find it odd you were given a phone with no stickers and not working. I'd say its stolen, as you have no way to check the IMEI now....
