Hey Everyone,
I'm having a major problem with my iMate pda2k. First off, it won't sync with ActiveSync, and it comes up with a message saying 'Cannot open the connection "USB'. This connection is no longer valid or does not exist. Select a different connection and try again." Ok. So I thought a hard reset would fix the problem as it resets everything. Oh wait, I tried it and it just appears as a soft reset. I can't hard reset it. This also means I can't update to another ROM, as I was going to update to the new xplode 6.5 build 21202 rom. Someone please help!
EDIT: Yes, I have already read the Wiki.
EDIT2: I just hard reset it using the bootloader which thankfully worked. ActiveSync still doesn't work.

Ok. It's all alright. Upgraded the rom by putting it into Serial mode and it got recognized after I fiddled with a few things. Upgraded to 6.5 and ActiveSync now works.

i am having the same problem as you.
can you explain how you "put in serial mode", i only have a usb cradle
@howie,
If you read the wiki as you said you did, then you probably missed the part that says that you must put the device in bootloader mode in the BA in order to do any kind of up/downgrading. In fact, in order to up/downgrade you have to kill ActiveSync (end wescommgr.exe and rapimgr.exe from the Task Manager). You may want to take your BA to a higher version rom. d-two recently posted 23053, which is pretty much flawless so far. There have been a few releases which had several issues with ActiveSync.
Second of all, you might have also missed the rules of the forum which state that in order to open new threads you must contribute to the area in which you are posting. In the case of the BA section, roms, programs, skins, hacks, tips on how to fix things are all welcome. Threads with questions... not so much. There is a fully dedicated Q&A thread in this area of the forum for this kind of stuff. Post there, most Seniors in the BA section are always monitoring this thread.
Don't mean to sound like an a$s, but we all have to obey rules. That makes a community more organized. Thanks for understanding and I hope my little advice on the rom helps you some.
@kevinrogers1977,
Go to the wiki and look for the tutorial on upgrading. Also, it isn't that you have to connect to a serial device. What howie was taking about was that he put his device in bootloader mode, which displays the word Serial in the screen of the BA (this changes to USB once you cradle the device).

Hello Guys,
Disaster. I tried updating to the new ROM from the O2 website and it fails with : "ERROR114....
Tried the version from this great forum and guess what? same error.....
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
My XDAIIi was brill. Now its dead...
Try putting the 2i into bootloader mode by pressing the power button, action pad down and the reset button at the same time. The screen will say serial with a version number at the bottom. When you connect it to your computer this should change to USB. Then try running the update again.
If you are using the modified version I posted on this site then the install will fail. Just run the program MAUpgradeUT_noid.exe a second time without touching the 2i at all.
Hope all goes well.
Hi Pug,
Unfortunaely that has not work. see screen shots attached.
can anyone tell me what this damn error is pls...............
oh by the way the iMate PDA2 rom fails as well with the same error. !!
If both your devices are failing to upgrade the problem must lie with your computer somewhere.
Are you using firewalls like zonealarm which may be interfering with the update process. If so try disabling them.
I assume you are connecting using USB and not serial. Do so if for no other reason than it's faster.
Are you using Activesync 4? More stable for upgrading than 3.8 but lacks sync over LAN feature - not a great deal if you've never used it. You can find this on the wiki link top left of this page.
Try downloading the packages again. I've posted the radio rom here as thats the one you seem to be having immediate problems with. Download it and overwrite the one on my modified rom.
I'll post more if I think of anything as I'm suffering a hangover right now and can't think too much cos it hurts. :?
thnx pug,
really appreciate your help. yes iam running firewall (norton). I will try your modified radio and advise. fingers crossed. and thnx once again.
using activesynch 4 as well from this forum
Hi pug,
Sorry the radio did not work. renamed the radio and ran update and the update works for nk.nbf and ms.nbf files. without radio the phone does not work but proved that there is no problem with my pc or usb cradle etc. the problem is the radio.
my IMEI is 354962000270150.
the radio file from the Launch rom from O2 does not work, so either my IIi has a damaged component or something else that I am not aware of.
copied your radio file to the other iMate upgrade and it still fails with the same error 114 !!
Any other ideas or suggestions pls, its really depressing to loose the XDAIIi permanently.
Oh I forgot to mention that the IIi is also unlocked and the ExtROm is unlocked as well. Will this make a diffeence?
The fact that the 2i is unlocked won't make any difference. The EXTRom on the 2i can't be unlocked and always results in the storage being locked which will stop the phone being updated. Maybe not at the actual update stage but certainly further down the line after the hard reset.
Ok now I have have tried various things as posted in this forum in various sections. Still get the same error.
Originally about 3 months ago, I had to hard reset, then I used the Launch ROM from the O2 website. I still have that original exe but that also NOW fails. I am now running out of options.
Any other ideas?
It might be that because you have unlocked the Extended ROM that it causes this fault, either that or you device has an internal problem which you cannot fix.
Take it back to the shop they will replace it.
114 error
I got my XDA2i back from O2 after a warranty mainboard replacement and decided to upgrade with the new O2 rom..horrors.. I got the 114 error and repeated efforts failed to cure it. I then inatalled a/sync on another PC and ran the upgrade from there...
Bingo! it worked..always worth a try if things defy logic.
Probably an old firewall that didn't uninstall properly.
One thing though, does anybody know when my backup battery will kick in and charge.
It arrived back from O2 completely dead but even with the main battery full it doesn't want to take a charge yet??
Hitla
Just humour me and try the radio upgrade on another PC... That's how i got round my 114 error
To all the people who have advised me... thank you.
I have tried the upgrade on 2 other laptops I have, one with Activesync 4 and one with Activesync 3.8.
AND..... the same failure error.
I have now taken it back to O2 and they have taken it in for repair !!
Should rcv it back next week hopefully repaired or replaced !!
Will keep you guys posted.
Once again great forum and great posters with serious technical advice.
Well done keep it up.
Soory guys,
Have been away for the last few weeks, so unable to update you all.
Well O2 replaced my device. It has the new ROM but the old radio !!
I would like to thank all of you advised me.
Hi,
I just downloaded the O2 Rom-Upgrade.
To keep my 2020i in German I only did a Radio-Update from 1.02 (ran the installer and copied the files to a different directory together with the AllUgrade kindasomething.....)
The update worked, it always worked this way, but after the update the Radio showed up as 1.00.00 (MUST be 1.03, at least that is what o2 says....)
Any idea?
Thanks, Günter
P.S.: I should add that the phone works..
Hello !!
I have qtek 1010 german version! After i read the links i decided to upgrade the rom version, because i barely manage in english, not to metion german.
I downloaded a rom from http://www.romkitchen.de, i complete the setup with no errors and i thouht it was a success. Now in start menu i only have Recent Programs (with no access to tap on it), Today, Find and Help, and the screen logo xda-developers.com. Cant do anything, the best result when i tap something its : "No program memory available. Tap Start>Settings>System tab>Memory, stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again". But in start i have nothing
I downloaded another rom version 4.01.12_ENG, but now i can not connect the pda with activesync, so i cant make another upgrade.
So, please, help!!
Thanks, Regards and excuse my poor english!
PS: #1 Was posted in a wrong section i think!
Sounds very strange.
You have done a reset after the update?
What ActiveSync VErsion are you using? WM2003 requires an Version i think greater than 3.7.....
Stefan
I was using at that time Activesync 4.2, but i downgrade it to 3.7 after the failure and still no connection. Now i'm using again 4.2.
I did the reset (after i saw the result of the upgrade i thnik i made another 4 or 5, think this will have no negative effects, anyway its as worst as is possible).
And if i remember well i did a reset with holding the power button as the upgrading soft says.
flash with sdcard
Go here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD this will let you change the rom without using active sync
My Trinity device is not recognized by any of my 3 pc's using any of USB ports. The problem started when I wanted to try a different ROM. I currently have 20070418_RUU_Trinity_LVSW_WWE_1.25.0.8 installed. I wanted to install img-32424-mUn_1_25_AKU3_5 but during the reboot after the ROM transfer the connection failed for the USB connection, after which I gave up and thought well let's try again and soft resetted the device. However I was never able to get a Active Sync session going again. The OS is still booting fine so I feel I am trying to fix something which is not entirely broken. I also tried the suggestion for flashing from SD card, but that did load the TRINIMG.nbh file as I hoped (and read) it would be loading. So I have a IR connection and possibly a bluetooth connection (I left my bluetooth module at work so I cant test this) Will this be my free ticket out of jail? Thanks for your input
You might want to ask this on the upgrading subforum, where all the people who flash their trinity are. This isnt the place for this discussion.
Though personally I'd say no, IR is slow and unreliable, given the length of time it would take to flash a 50mb ROM file, the chances of it breaking halfway through are pretty high, which would brick your device totally.
Try finding a mate's PC that works and doing it from that?
You can't flash using IR or BT because the drivers for those are removed during the flash process.
Post a query in the Upgrading section for info on how to set the device into Bootloader mode, to avoid the need for activesync.
OK will post it in the correct group. Thanks I wont flash it with IR. I already had a suspicion it would not be a happy ending.

Hello, I am new to the forums and new to reloading phones but fairly tech savvy otherwise.
I have a Cingular 8125 G4 Phone.
Current IPL/SPL
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.0lip
-Can Access Bootloader Screen
-I successfully Unlocked it
-Updated the ROM to WM6
-Come to find it operated much slower then my WM5
-Tried a Different ROM
-Left the Room while it was uploading
-Cat attacked the cord or the phone
-Was Detached during the update process
-Rebooted Phone, stuck at the Basic Splash Screen
-Attempted to do a hard reset. Was able to access this screen, format, but would return back to flash screen and just sit there.
I have spent a couple hours going through the information on the forums but to no avail. I fear I have got a paper weight but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Normally I would keep searching however this may prove to be time sensitive and need all the help
Thank you in Advance
Yours Truely

As Murphy's Law would have it, soons as I post this I come across another post that told me to re-flash and for some reason after attempting to reflash 3-4 times, this time it appears to be taking it. I will keep you folks posted
However The link is broken for the official Cingular 8125 WM5 (What was shipped with the phone). If anyone has a link I would appreciate it if someone could send it to me. I will post once I have received.
Thank you very much.
Phone has recovered. However I would like to restore it back to Factory Defaults for reasons that are my own. I feel I can do it but do not have the Factory Image link.
The Following Link appears to be broken:

This Topic Can now be closed I found the original Rom at

AT&T 8125 G4 IPL&SPL
Version 2.25
Original ROM
it's hard to say what rom it had since i got it with wm6.5.
i found a link on this forum to a file called RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_cingular.rar
it seems to be one of the many originals, so i'll try to flash this one as soon as i can figure out the connection issue with ActiveSync. I tried both 4.0 and 4.5 but they both fail to connect i need to fix the pda's display (or wait until it solves itself, like the previous time) in order to troubleshoot the connection error
hi. I hapened for similar trance.
First download RUU_Wizard_Cingular_8125_WIZCNG01_G3_G4_2006_11_May_225_225_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship2
(seek in google)
Second quit the battery (100% charged) and put again. Power the 8125.
Third reset your PC wihout the 8125 connected.
Fourth connect the 8125 and execute the file donwloaded.
I hpe to help.
(sorry my ugly english, I spoke español)
I was flashing the radio but got stuck at 17%, tried several times and the same result. It had Hard SPL installed so I didn't though it would be killed, but after reset, it would only be recognized as some data communication device without drivers that searching the forums I found the drivers for Qualcomm modem 6000 and other two devices would fit, now I can only communicate to it through COM7, but the commands are very restrictive (no cego, no mw) and I could not devise a solution to flash it again.
I tried PM several people here but got no answers (of course they have they own business), so I'm posting as a thread in the hope that some ideas may arise.
I also looked towards JTAG but there is no info about the pinouts (not even commercial solutions) and looking the board you won't have a clue.
I hope that correctly using "radata" I can go somewhere, please tell me if I'm wrong and I'll just drop it and sell the Shift for parts, I never actually used it.
How I bricket it
I had some problems when people called my number, snapvue would freeze completely so I decided to flash radio 1.58, but that wasn't any better then I reverted back to 1.27 and the flash process stopped at 17% and would not finish no matter what. I believe one of these files didn't like the "HSPL_final" or is corrupted.
Now I have no sound on Windows Vista side, and a black screen on WM side.:crying:
If anyone could look into it please help me.
SMI
Could only download part of smi.bin file, here is what I got.
