Hi,my usb port is broken and i am unable to Activesyn/Recharge my phone anymore.I've got an external charger for battery recharging but didn't find any solution for ActiveSync.
I want to know can i use ActivesynC with a bluetooth connection?
Also is there any alternate way to flash new Roms into my mobile without a USB Connection?
I am using Imate-K Jam with windows Mobile 6.1 installed.The Rom version is TNT 1620.
Please Help
no the bluetooth stack is a part of the rom
you can't use part of the rom to exchange the rom
as the rom is cleared before the flash of a new rom starts
think sawing over the branch you're sitting on
Thanks for reply Rudegar.So the question is how can i flash a new ROM without a USB Cable connection?Is there any possibility to do that?
As i mentioned earlier, the USB port of my device is damaged and can't be repaired anymore.I wonder what to do now.Should i scrap my MDA and look for a new device?
Unless you're skilled enough to fix/change the usb port*, I think you're stuck.
*I know I'm not, but I'm sure there must be someone out there who could shed some light on it.
maybe this could give some help about doing stuff using the sdcard

Hey guys. The Special Edition ROM is a good idea, but I've just lost all connectivity with my XDA:
After installing the new ROM Image, I'm unable to use Active Sync (therefore unable to flash the old ROM provided by Othaman OR to get my data restored from the laptop), PIE or any other service. The device will just not connect to anything else.
Any help with restoring the previous ROM would be greatly appreciated - if only I could get my XDA to connect with ActiveSync....
Please help - my XDA is as good (or as bad) as a phone now...
You can install a new ROM via the SD-Card and the bootloader....
Regards
Stefan
Okay here's the difficult part:
1. I have a couple of SD Cards with me, but no reader.
2. Am currently in Africa for a couple of months, so no way of getting hold
of a reader for that period at least.
3. I do have my old Sagem WA3050 (Win CE 2.11) with a compact flash card (128 mb).
4. This sounds tortuous, but would it be possible to (1) copy the old ROM Images to the storage card (Compact Flash) of my Sagem PPC; (2) Beam the files over to my Qtek P1010 and write it on to the SD Card; (3) Use this image now to restore the ROM
I'm desperate ! Need some way out !
PROBLEM SOLVED & ISSUE CLOSED
Turns out that Active Sync wont work with either Serial Cable or IR with the new Special Edition ROM. Hence had my USB Cradle flown down today and was able to sync. Flashed the new O2 RAM with a little help from AdaptROM.
Thank you, xda-developers for the suggestion (try using USB).
For those in a similar fix, try USB.
The new ROM, out today, fixes the original problem, and any other outstanding issues we're aware of...
I am unable to upgrade to wm 2003, i have d/l the rom from xda more than once i tried to upgraded on different pcs and different xda's i'm always getting the same error when i click on start.bat the process starts very normally, then my xda screen goes white and after a few sec i receive the following error....
ERROR 008: Open Port Error
Can not open a COM/USB port. Please use Device Manager on PC to make sure that the COM/USB port is available and working properly.
i use Active Sync 3.7 regularly with no problem.
Please help
Thanks
Are you using USB? If so, are you using a USB hub? You may experience problems if you use a hub.
No
I am using USB indeed but with no usb hub, and i've tried it on 3 different pcs and 3 different xda no one got the same problem?
sounds like my problemb. I get the white screen too, no progress bar, and the USB error sometimes as well. Mine is that I am running the first version of WME2003 O2 developers ROM. You can not get out of this ROM to any other ROM without flashing via SD card, then you can upgrade or downgrade to other ROMs. Hopefully this helps. I have only seen this so far with this version of ROM. :?
Thanks
I am running the first version of PPC2003 too, I am going to try to downgrade thanks for your help i'll keep you posted
Hi All,
I need help urgent. My dopod can't syn with Pc after i successfully upgraded to ausdim's Rom! Right now,i can't install softwares, can't connect with pc. I want to use other Rom but since there is no connection so i can't do anything.
Already try every possible ways(disable firewall,Hard reset,Uninstall/reinstall Active Syn4.5, tried with activesyn 4.2,Retard the Pc....) But unsuccessful...
Drivers is all good as there is no yellow "!" mark in the Device Manager. (Yes, i can syn my HP 2490 WM5 with PC)
I think the problem is the Rom itself.
Please help me, I do not wish to bring it to repair center as it too far away from my house.
You may still be able to reflash the ROM using an SD card- look for instructions in the WiKi (you may need to look in the Hermes section, but the procedure is the same)
already re flash another rom "PDAVIET" but the problem is still unsolved!
what is possible wrongs?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355832&highlight=SD+flash
but as i said cable is required to make the sdcard with the rom on it
expansys.com have cradles or cables you can buy
but how could i install directly from the sd card? and the link to the rom that could be use?
it's in the thread i linked to
you need a himalaya a cable and a sdcard to make the sdcard
bootable for rom flash
OWHH i still need a cable also ar... cant use card reader aight?
rudegar....
i have a new problem.. my hp was showing just Serial and v 1.03...
how could i go back to my ppc??? i cant do anything with it because my ppc doesnt working at all just showing Serial... help me please anyone!!
no as far as i can read from the thread a himalaya and cable is required
sounds like your hp is in bootloader i would read the manual about how to reset it to boot up normaly
and if the os is damaged how to flash it with a new rom if there are roms for that hp device
so i just need a cable to do it right? n link to the software to update the rom?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaSDcardLayout
im sorry bro, seriously i didnt understand what its meaning.. so what is the cable name?? i just want to buy it from the store tomorrow..

WHY my hima doesnt show usb at the screen?? and my pc showing there are unknown device??? how to solve it?? im in deep problem right now, i just bought the usb cable to my ppc.. any driver to it?
Now My Hima Has Been Bricked Theres No Rom To Be Reload.. And My Hima Cannot Sync With The Pc.. Im Doomed....
If you haven't even flashed your rom yet, there is absolutely no good reason why your device should be bricked. What is it currently doing at the moment?
What is showing on your XDAII's screen?
my xda ii just showing SERIAL and v 1.03.... ill have try to reboot again but theres nothing happen. the serial blinking but still in the bootloader mode. how can i cooked my device? my pc also didnt detect my hima...
It isn't bricked then, not even close. So don't worry about that yet
Simply plug it in to your computer with your cable, don't expect it to recognise what it is. And make sure you have ActiveSync turned off on your computer (if you have it installed which you may not).
Next, leave it a minute or two connected. Then, unzip the rom you downloaded somewhere on your computer, and then run the .exe in the unzipped folder. It may be called HimaUpgradeTool or something similar. It should eventually say it found your phone, and usually it has no idea what rom is currently installed. Then simply press the install button. It should show updating on your computer screen (it generally takes over an hour), and some fancy stuff may happen on your PDA screen.
Once it says it is completed (on your computer screen), unplug your device and Hard Reset using soft reset, Dpad, Camera and Record.
Select the options as follows: (for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
Your phone should reboot, and all will be well in world.
i think that i found what is my problem. i think that my usb cable is faulty because of my computer detect the usb then it shown unrecognised device. then i run the hima upgrade but it shows that there are no device attach. but my battery was heat like it was charging. ill try to change the cable first then ill try it again.
thanks all... my problem was being settle. now i know my problem is.. when i change the cradle i can upgrade my hima. thanks again.
Hello all,
I have HP IPAQ 614c and i can't connect this phone with any pc or any USB cable. I get message unknown drivers... Maybe someone knows what the problem it is ? I wana install normaly ROM and firmware, but i can't connect my phone to pc... Thanks a lot who will help me to fix it...
I have the same problem with my iPAQ 914c... But, i can intall a new ROM with a external SD Card.
You can install ? I can install too ROM from HP web. But how to update Firmware without USB ? So i need connect my phone to update it... Ehh... Bored of seaches...
Yes, I can install it
Instructions for flashing (extrated from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800558):
Download de firmware. Decompress it and you have the .dio file. Put this file into a less than 2 gb sd (sdhc won't work) and put your device in sdloader mode. This happens pressing together volumeup + ok and pressing reset releasing the two vol and ok buttons. After doing this, the device checks the file integrity, flash to your device rom and do a clean reboot. When is finished, it ahould autoreset, but if not, it will show a black screen for a long time. Is then when it has finished, so then make a reset and your device will have installed the ROM
How to update flash.dio i know. I Need english version. I have updated OS. But how to update FW ? Becouse now mine is 0.81 version. And then i upload original flash.dio from HP hexeded file. Phone installing one this file from 6 files. Like i see on screen phone, missing 5 files to install... Sorry for bad english, but i think you will understand me what i mean...
On phone i have some bugs, like xt9 in SMS mode. And bug in contacts. Can't seach contact by name, i can put only numbers there to seach. GPS not work. And other little bugs.
But main problem is how to activesync this phone ? Why PC can't find phone ( device ). Tryed anything. Different PC, different windows. Different cables. Can't find solution for it... I think must be way to find problem. HP agents can't help me, becouse warranty ended, heh. They just told me what phone port for cable can be out of working. But phone charging working well...
So who gona help me ?...

DeFuSeGM, you are able to activesync by bluetooth, just follow the activesync help topic under connection using bluetooth. Starting i got a lot problem to setup and took me quite a while to get it solve out. U can try it.
BTW, anyone can share how fast is your bluetooth phone to phone transfer rate. Mine is only 50kb/s, seem like quite slow compare to other phone i used to use.
Thanks
And how about if i can't open bluetooth meniu in phone ? USB dont work, bluetooth dont work, with SDLOADER can't upgrade... Phone dead ? Or any way to delete wrong ROM from phone without connecting it to pc ? I need faster help...
I had the same problem on my 614c, I opened the device and re soldered the usb connector. Haven't had any problem since that.
But it requires good soldering skills.

Can someone make picture of sync cable ? Maybe i have wrong usb cable. Becouse repairman sayd what anything with phone okey. Seems i need get corect cable. Thanks
Have changed main board and anything was okey with phone. Seems if USB dont work, you need change main board or try load ROM by SD card. But in my way i was stuck on that.
