Hello folks,
I have a big problem. I was flashing my own Qtek 2020 quite a several times - and no problems at all.
So my friend took his Qtek 2020 to me for flashing. In a process, just right after erasing an old rom, and before flashing a new one, it said there's "some" problem. After a reset (no matter soft or hard one) it stays all the time in a bootloader. Cradling it doesn't change from Serial to USB - HimaUpgrade can't connect to a device....
Help! What can I do to reflash it? Bootloader is 1.03.
Nobody knows what I have to do?... maybe some method of flashing it through an SD card? I've read about it, but it's rather cryptic
Please, people... ?
my old cradle had serious bad connection and at times it would not turn usb
i solved it by changing to my old xda1 cradle
another option i guess is to get a real usb ->xdaII cable kinda like the charging cable
or to mess around with the xdaII cradle untill it connect correct
umm, no, this is not the case. I have a second xdaII, and the same cradle. The cradle is ok, it's a device which is broken... the other is ok (well, kinda - one is not-operative, the second one has a broken connector).
And I have an USB cable, too

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
Hi Folks!
One week ago my little Prophet worked just fine. everything was going as it should.
But 3 days ago, i discouvered, that I couldn't establish a usb-connection anymore.
Windows doesn't recognize the device as a new usb-device when I plug it in.
The Prophet can only be charged via usb-cable.
I tried it on different PCs with several usb-cables. I tried hard-reset. None of it worked.
I would like to reflash my Prophet Shadow 2.0 ROM via ActiveSync, but I can't - is there a possibility to flash via SD-Card?
can you charge it?
My prophet's USB connector is broken, it's loose from mainbord.
Got a Diamond now, but thing I try to solder that connector. Check if your connactor has a faulty connection to mainbord maybe? If it happens to mine, maybe yours can be a bit loose too.
I just bought used Hima through, because I broke LCD screen on mine. And I got it with some old German ROM on it, it's working fine, but I would like something newer and in English. The thing is, that when I put phone in USB craddle, it only charges the device and says that USB Device Not Recognized. I cannot upgrade ROM nor anything else, just charge it. On my previous broken Hima, I had no such problem... Does anyone has clue what is wrong and what is the solution?
Thank you in advance...
I just found out that when I want to sync, I can do it, but have to pull cell phone toward me while it's in craddle. But doesn't work when I want to flash ROM. So I guess it's pins problem. I looked them and don't see anything bad, anyone has clue what to do?
OK, I finally managed to install ROM, I had to stick something to push forward my Hima in cradle. Does anyone know what can I do to fix that problem? It's the pins connection problem...
first of all..i don't understand why you started a new topic on this problem because THERE IS ANOTHER TOPIC WITH THIS PROBLEM JUST 3 LINES DOWN AFTER YOUR TOPIC...if you had read but didn't......about the conectivity problem with the pins cradle usb cable and advanced functionality of the usb-pc function..and thath it works just for the charge and for standard conectivity is says device mailfunction...
Because I had german windows 2003 that had no advanced functionality of the usb-pc connection! And also I didn't see too many similarities with those posts which aren't three lines down after my topic.
I changed 2 craddles and also had same problems. But I managed to access PPC when I gave some pressure on cell phone while in cradle...
I have another broken Hima (LCD screen broken), and wondered if I could take his connector?!
Hi all,
I had my set flashed to wm6.5 by Keyzx and it is wonderful.
Lately when I tried sync it with my computer and laptop, winxp detected it as unknown device and activesync shows that it is not connected at all with no partnership with the ipaq.
I was wondering if the USB port which is faulty but I can still see the ipaq is charging when it is plugged into the usb port. I had tried downgrade the WM to 6.1 but still no vail. I did changed several usb cables but still nothing. Anyone facing the same problem? Can anyone give any valuable pointers on this issue?
I had tried hard reset, soft reset and many more but it seems like not working.
sometime it happen but usually can be fixed by soft-reset or reboot of your own comp
Hi Keyx,
I am a big fan of your ROM and thanks for the advice.
This is not the first day that this happen but it had been like this almost 2 to 3 weeks now. I had tried soft reset, hard reset and restart of pc but it wouldnt detect the 612c. I was wondering if there is anyway for me to restore the rom back to the original and reflash it back to your cooked rom... as I do love the cool interface.
Sorry to bother you but I do hope you can guide me on this.
Regards,
Lee
ya i think there is stock hp rom somewhere in the forum which you can flash through sd or dnw, one can be found here
The same thing happened to me. I tried different computers, USB cables, uninstall/reinstall activesync, changing ROMs and nothing worked. The problem is the mini USB connector is very fragile. Your connector is most likely broken. I hope you have a warranty. I'm on my third unit due to the connector. The first one quit charging all together and the second one did the same as yours - charge only no sync.
in the very worst case you could live with bluetooth activesync if the connecter is really broken

Excellent way to troubleshoot keyx. That is so obvious it never occurred to me... I wish I would have done that before I returned the phone.
Yes, I guess that is the only way to activesync right now... using the bluetooth. I believe my usb connector is not functioning anymore as I had the original rom flashed on my phone and I still cant detect it on my laptop and desktop.
Thanks all for the information and its very helpful.
Hi. I have a problem here. Is it possible to flash new rom directly through bootloader, my activesync is not working properly, and something is wrong with my usb connection - when I connect my device to PC via usb, in bootloading mode - it gets connected and disconnnected about 50 times in one minute, no .RUU is able to recognize it for long enough to complete the instalation. I've tried to reinstall the activesync, did hard reset of my phone, deleted relationships - but no luck. What worries me most is that usb connection problem. It's only with HD2, all other devices connect properly. Anyone knows the answer, what should I do in order to fix that? P.S I always remove sim and sd card, and disable my antivirus programs and firewalls during my flashes....
Bricked it.
And now - I'm stuck...seemed I finally got connected via usb through bootloader for longer than two minutes, so I started fleshing my radio... and it got disconnected after a minute by itself again, in the midllle of the process...Now, there's an upgrade rom code error on green field of my bootloader, telling me to try again, only - I can't do recovery, cause my usb connection gets on/off 50 times a minute, whenever I try to do the recovery .... Any suggestions?
Have you tried another USB port? Perhaps even another computer.
Have you also eliminated the posibility of the cable that you use to connect your HD2 is damaged in some way.....
You can also flash ROM/Radio via SD card......
There is a sticky thread that explains how to do so.....
You basically need to extract the main file from the rom/radio and rename it to LEO.img, place it on the root of your SD card and turn on the phone whilst holding vol. down.
Check this thread for a more complete set of instructions.
Hope that helps......

Have youctried a different USB cable to see if you can keep a connection then? Youmight have a bad USB cable. If trying another USB cable and different USB ports does not help you might have a faulty USB port on your HD2 in that case you can still use your SD card tocflash Windows Mobile ROMs and radios but if you flash a official ROM via SD card it reverts HSPL so be aware of that as you will not be able to get HSPL back if you have a faulty USB port on your HD2. Go to the link to lean about flashing via SD card.

Thanks for replies and suggestions... I did try different usb ports, but haven't try different cable, I'll do that tomorrow, first thing I get myself one. I'm not planing to flash official rom, I plane to flash another custom, as soon as I deal with this radio interrupted. I do hope it's not faulty usb port of my phone though ...and if it is, that it can be fixed...

If it is a faulty USB port for your HD2 it can be fixed but by replacing the USB port if needed or just resoldering some on your existing one but from what I read it is really best done by a proffesional, go to the link below and read through thatcthread as you will se what I mean, it is only 3 pages long so read the intior thread it is not much reading.

The easiest way to fix a bad USB port on a HD2 is to replacecthe intior main board.
Thanks for the thread, T-Macgnolia, if it turns out to be faulty usb port on HD2 - I have no intentions to fix it myself, it'll go to service right away ... I do hope it's not, though, as I never had a problem charging my phone, it charged good and fast until this "accident" . I like to believe that it's not gonna take a new motherboard in order to be able to use my phone in the way I used to, and cause of which I'm addicted to it

I hope you don't have to have the main board changed either. Bit know this in the USB port on the HD2 has I think 4 pins in it two are for charging and two are for data and it sounds like your data pinswould be the ones with a issue if your USB port is bad as you still have to wait until you can try a different USB cable. At any rate though I wish you the best of luck.
Ok people, I've sorted it out ... Lucky me - no faulty usb port on HD2, no faulty cable, and, no faulty HD2 ... I've flashed a different radio from sd card, and also rom, and now - connectivity with my pc is - never better ... Even ActiveSync is working like it hasn't been in 6 months, hahahhhh ... Point is - it was my pc punishing me for playing with it's registry, few nights before ... I was really confused, cause HD7 had excellent connectivity with my pc, but HD2 really bad, so I really thought there was something wrong with my beloved HD2 ... Than, I remembered I've messed with my registry the other night, and deleting some non-existing pocket pc paths in it... So, I repaired my windows on pc, and now everything works like a charm .... What can I say - curiosity can have very high price, sometimes .... But - fortunately I'm lucky, as it gets ...
