I have searched for the last hour and can't find a solution. I have an I-mate K-Jam purchased new in October 2005, have never upgraded the ROM, BIOS, or anything on it. I am trying to get it be recognized with Activesync so that I can update the BIOS as described in this forum. Here is what I have tried so far:
Uninstalled Activesync and reinstalled 4.5
Tried on a seperate computer
Stopped all Firewall services
Hard reset the k-jam
Tried different USB cable
Tested USB port and Cable with another device and they work fine
Is there any other way to update the BIOS without using Activesync?
Someone please help me.
Thanks.
Anyone have any ideas?

hi to everyone,
i have a locked-SIM t-mobile phone edition which i tried to unlock using a serial cable & the manipulator.
the problem is that the manipulator can't find the device after scaning COM port.
i have checked that the port is not blocked by any program including the synchronization programs but there was no luck.
anybody knows what is the problem in my situation?
Be sure to press SIMULTANEOUSLY both power button AND reset with your stylus. This will bring your T-Mobile to WALLABY mode. After the screen reads GSM OK, connect the cable to your phone and PC and run manipulator.
This should work. I have the same T-Mobile and it worked with mine.
There have been posts with reports where people have had problems connecting to the pda because they have been using a laptop...
I unlocked mine on a SONY VAIO laptop successfully.
hi again,
i have tried the exact steps for unlocking but still the device wans't detected by the manipulator.
the synchronization program also can't detect the device if it is pluged using the serial cable.
could anyone please help me? i couldn't use the phone since 1 month.
Try 75656354
Wasn't there in any thread the hint to uninstall ActiveSync to get the manipulator to work?!?!
Search here in the forum. It wasn't posted as long time ago.
Or just try it when you uninstall.
I ment that there was a problem because active sync wants to connect to the XDA/MDA when connecting it to the serial....

Remember you must have the XDA in bootloader mode.
Hi all,
I have an XPA S200 alias Prophet from Swisscom Mobile. The first thing I did was installing the "PDAMobiz Editon Upgrade Rom for SPL 2.15.0001" ROM which worked well for a while.
Now I can't sync it anymore using the USB connection (IR works). Yesterday I installed the ROM again, restored my data and was able to sync. I thought ok, everything is ok now. But today sporadically I have the same issue again.
If the connection is not ok, my computer only shows an unknown device.
Does anyone have an idea what can cause this problem. It seems like the USB port of the device is blocked from time to time.
By the way has anyone an English version of the original Swisscom ROM for the S200? I have forgot to back it up before installing the new ROM.
ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
ExtRIN version: 2.21.13.102 PDAMobiz.com
I have ActiveSync 4.2.0 (Build 4876) (English) installed on my computer.
Best regards,
Tom
Today I was playing around with my device. I tried several things, but it is not possible anymore to connect using USB. Even a ROM upgrade doesn't work anymore.
I can still sync my device using IR, but any ROM changes are not possible anymore.
Don't know if this will help but found that connecting the SPV M600 to the USB lead occasionally tripped out the USB 2 port on the computer. Just switching the computer off and on didn't help as it was only a soft reset. Switching off and disconnecting from the mains for 60 seconds, then switching on again reset the USB port and allowed activesync to work again (untill it tripped out next time). This has happened about 5 times now in 3 weeks. This applied to all USB ports, not just the one connected to.
Unfortunately this doesn't help. I made some further tests. A friend has the same device.
Using my computer I can sync his device but not mine. Using his computer we can sync his device as well but mine doesn't.
But again suddenly it was possible to sync sporadically. Now I think there is really a problem with the USB connector of the device.
Because I assume a hardware problem and need to contact the vendor I need to get an original ROM from Swisscom now (no matter which language/English preferred).
Does anyone know where to get such a ROM? Swisscom currently doesn't offer any to download. Additionally is there a way to upgrade the ROM using an SD card?
I think I got one step further. When I use the USB-switch tool and change from rndis to serial and back Activesync connects again.
For a moment it is connected and syncing but then it gets disconnected again.
No matter what I try the connection is not stable.
Hello,
this sounds like exactly my problem.
Previously i had T-mobile MDA (with dipod rom), and it worked fine, no problem at all.
Now i have a prophet (again Dopod rom), and i've had nothign but problems. Activesyc initially worked once or twice, but has not for a long time now. i've tried deinstalling, re-partnering, deleting everything, etc. I've even now had XP re-installed on the computer and done a cold boot on the Prophet...now change!
The only thng that works is syncing via infrared! This works every time, no problem at all.
I have no idea what the issue is...but it is very frustrating.
i have the same problem, it worked for two weeks. today suddenly does not connect anymore. WTF? I install new activesync, rebbot divece, computer & still nothing...
doesnt work on other computer also... Which files are inportent on divice to connect it with activesync? Please help... tnx
Any solutions? my computer will recognize at first but then it says not connected and wont let me acess the files on my wing. Im using Windows Vista btw.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
I am using vista also.. try soft reseting it.
I tried soft resetting it and hard resetting it and it still doesn't work. Now I'm contemplating ever getting Touch It 2.3
Try going in settings->connections->usb to pc and either check it if its not checked or uncheck it if it is checked
Mine did this too last week. Reflash your phone with the official Tmobile RUU posted in the forum.
My steps were:
-Go into bootloader mannually (camera button plus voice command button and finally with those two press, click in the hole (between memory and volume key) with your styles)
-After it seems that pc loaded up some kind of driver, double click on the official Tmobile RUU and flash your phone to stock form.
this should work and goodluck...
I've connected my Wing on my friend's computer and it's recognized by his ActiveSync but its Windows XP he's using. Is there any way i can reinstall or change some settings on my computer so that it can recognize my Wing again? I really prefer the windows xp activesync over the windows vista version but theres no way of getting the old activesync on vista.
Finally!! I fixed the problem! I had to install version 6.1 from microsoft's website, and everything is good now. thanks for the help everybody.
do you have the link to that update im having the same problem
nm i got it, thanks for the solution though
Hi, for some reason my wing wont connect to the internet over USB when connected to my PC. I've reinstalled activesync and hard reset my phone but nothing seems to work. I think I may have gotten this problem right after the official update. Anyone have this problem too and have a fix?
Thanks,

My Orbit cannot make any connection via USB + Active Sync since today. Charging with USB is working without any problem.
The orbit has the latest Mossi- Rom 2.5 installed which worked for several weeks without any problem. I did already a hardreset but without success. Any ideas what to do else?
SD flash with original Rom worked. USB seems to be dead. Thread can be closed.
