PDA2K dead. - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I have a I-mate PDA2K with ROM 1.12 ITA and while I was to install the 1.40 ITA ROM downloaded from www.clubimate.com, the screen of my pocket pc became black, active sync has closed and the program to update the ROM is remained blocked in checking the hardware.
Now the pocket pc present only the notice "Serial v. 2.06" and do not respond if I press the on/off button.
How can I reinstall the system with the old ROM or the new ROM???
Active Sync does not see the pda2k.
Please, help me!!!!!
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Best regards,
Enrico.

did the flash fail halfway through? if it never started you should be able to just reset it and be back to normal.. try to put it into bootloader manually "power+record+reset" and you'll get the serial 2.07 screen, then dock it in your crable and it should say USB 2.07 and your PC recognize it.. run the flash again

No, I have pressed "power + record + reset" and inserted the pda2k in the craddle, but the notice is "serial v2.06" and not appear "usb v2.06" adn the program to flash the rom notice "Error 101: connection error" because not see the device.

Have you ever changed the Sync Cable? There would be some probs with your cable!!!

I tried to remove and then replace the battery and I inserted the pda2k in the cradle. Now the notice is "USB v2.06", I tried to reinstall the ROM tonight but the program is remained blocked with the notice "checking the information on your device" for all the night and the Active Sync crashed. Today I detached the device and the "error 101: connection error" appear.
How can I install the ROM directly?

I'm having the same problem
The cradle is ok for sure
but no connection to activesync
help is needed
Best regards
Paulo

WOW ... WOW ... WOW ... WOW
I resolved my problem!!!!!
I noted that the file downloaded from the original website clubimate is composed from varied file inside.
One of these is for checking hardware device and one of these is for upgrade the device.
But the file downloaded is an executable file complete and when I executed this, the program was blocked during the checking.
Now I think that if I unpack the exe file with winzip in a directory and I execute the only file to upgrade the ROM, I avoid to do the check of the pda2k and maybe it function.
This is the solution.
The upgrade started and now I have my pda2k like first one.
I hope it is of help for other.
Bye and thanks at all.

Read First *** Windows Mobile 5.0 on a BlueAngel *** <- H

I followed this topic to upgrade my pocket PC and now my XDA IIs is total unusable. I took the first step is to download the Active Sync 4.0 and the "Version 5.1.1700 Build 14343 - Patched by Mamaich V3", but as the the poster said there are these folders inside the "Version 5.1.1700 Build 14343 - Patched by Mamaich V3"
. Downgrade to WM2003SE
. PH20B
. PH20B1
. Preparation
. WM5_mamaich_patched
but actually i dont see any folder in the RAR file and i only see these files:
. BaUpgradeUt
. GetDeviceData
. EnterBL
. HTCRUU.conf
. HTCRUU.dll
. nk.nbf
i don't know what the hell is these, so i just tried to run a file, see what happen, i executed the "BaUpgradeUt.exe", and it asked me to update new version to my pocket pc, i clicked "yes", then after few second my pocket pc was suddenly disconnected and the screen showed "Serial 2.06" in black color text on white background, after that i have no control to my pocket PC, i can't off, i can't either hard reset or soft reset. I don't know what to do.
Anybody has any idea how this happen and how to fix it, I bought it in Singapore, and now I am staying in USA, there is no O2 service center around, what can i do??????
you are in the bootloader, this is the part were the upgrade process really happens, did you try to remove the battery to reset the unit?, I have sucessfully updated my rom with that latest patch, mamaich must have not included the previous files from the previous patches, that's why you didn't see any other files, but the files contained in the rar are the actuall rom updates, when you were upgrading did it show like 1% complete or something?, and when it entered bootloader mode did you suddenly remove the device from the cradle?, btw, your cradle is connected to the usb port of your pc right?, try to repeat the upgrade process, there are instructions in the wiki incase of a failed upgrade or downgrade, search the forums, but my suggestion is if you didnt have any idea at start of what you are doing you should have research first to avoid your predicament, but I suggest you not to worry, I think the upgrade process was just interupted

READ THIS !!! http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
Hi,
I have to say, I've read the Wiki and I didn't bother trying the upgrade, mainly because the file list doesn't look anything like it should. Tried downloading the v2 patch also, but to no avail. Are we missing something?
Cheers
Don't panic.
I've got the same. The whole sunday w pizdu.
My Qtec is alive.
Make sure ActiveSync is working. It will not connect with MDA, but it is required.
Try:
Camera+powerOn+reset, then
simply reset, then
remove battery, then
insert battery, then
simply reset again
then put MDA into the craddle
[MDA display should change from "Serial" into "USB", activeSync still is not connected]
run BaUpgradeUt
1 minut later you will get big window, with some info about MDA. Press next.
I have tried dosens of combinations of steps above and one of them was good enough. I'm not sure which one.

Bootloader Screen

Hello,
I need some expert help to get my XDA IIs out of bootloader.
I attempted to update ROM and got stuck in Bootloader.
I followed directions posted on this forum to the letter:
Make sure your device or cradle is connected directly to your computer (so no hubs!)
Disconnect the device from the PC, or remove from cradle
Perform a "hard reset" on the device (screen will flicker but nothing will change)
Kill the BaUpgradeUt.exe program on your PC by using Window's Task Manager (CRTL+ALT+DEL)
Kill the wcesscom.exe program on your PC by using Window's Task Manager (this is the ActiveSync application)
Place the device back in it's cradle
Restart the upgrade program from your PC (double-click BaUpgradeUt.exe)
Still No JOY !!! Any suggestions ?
Solution to Upgrade..?
Hi, have you looked at this properly..?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade
Or - If you're trying to update to WM5..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade
Then you should be ok.. Take a breather, start again..
Let me know how you get on..?
Cheers,
Stuck in Bootloader Screen
Mr Philly,
Thank you very much for your help, however I followed the links you gave me, and still have no joy.
When I run the BaUpgradeUt.exe I get a "connection error" saying check the physical connection between the phone and the computer. Also, BaUpgradeUt seems to close active sync once launched. The program then freezes unless I reopen active sync. I then get the connection error.
When I run the MaUpgradeUt.exe I get to the upgrade screen telling you that you are upgrading from ... to ... however the fields listing the various ROM versions etc.. are blank. If I click on upgrade, I get an error 150 saying "not designed for your device, please get proper ROM upgrade utility."
Any new suggestions for me ?
Missing my XDA very much as I use it a lot.
Thanks
I figured out the problem. It seems that the PDA was not responding to the ROM upgrade because the SD Card was in place. Origionally I thought this to be of no consequence as I only have a "dummy" card in the slot. I was wrong. Once I removed the Card everything went as it was supposed to.
:wink:
Stuck on bootloader
Hi all,
I copyed in fakt i did cut some files from my BA and moved to Storage Card (1Gb), and it restart byhimself and i am stuck on the bootloader. ??? Shall i rom Upgrad it ?

pda2k No Radio Upgrade No answer in WIKI

My wife has a pda2k that the phone quit working on, the pda functions are fine. I was able to upgrade the rom and ext rom but when I try to upgrade the radio it always fails. I have been all over this site and the web nothing has worked to flash the radio. When the flash progarm runs I can see the rom and ext rom versions but nothing is displayed for the radio. I have tried all versions of the roms I have found. Always the same the radio fails, I had to remove the radio rom from the dir. to get the others to update, I then tried the radio alone several times, several different waysand it always fails with various errors.
Thanks for any help.
Husband with a ticked wife please help!
hey,
put ruu.dll, radio_.nbf and MaUpgradeUt_noID in a folder, and run the maupgradeut.exe file...this should upgrade the radio rom only, that is the gsm part.
let me knw whether it workd...
Did you follow the wiki radio upgrade only instructions ? if so what is the error?
I have tried both options listed above, the upgrade starts sits at 0% for several minutes then fails. I do not remember the exact error, this is what happens every time.
put ruu.dll, ruu.conf, radio_.nbf and MaUpgradeUt_noID in a folder, then put your device into bootloader mode by pressing power, reset, and record buttons at the same time, this combination of buttons will show "Serial" and bootloader version on your screen, then place it on the cradle, the "Serial" should change to "USB" then kill activesync (open task manager and kill rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe) then start MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and all should be fine
if an error pops up please let us know

This not working. I Has the same problem. It seems like HW problem. Can't update radio. Then BT address 00:00:00... And now it freez at startup always.
IMHO. This is bad Flash which died.
I am waiting for answer about a month an still haven't one.
SoftService is right, if this type of upgrade fails it may be a hardware issue
I created a directory with the files listed and this is the error message I recieved:
error 114: radio rom update error
Any Ideas?
Thanks
do you have a sx66?
Anybody here has Full flash from PH20B device?
I think fullflash will help us from that problem. But it will the question how to unlock device after this procedure.
And anybody know how to repair IMEI?
Is there hardware specialists?
MDAIIIUser,
Mine is labeled PDA2K. It has quit syncing now. It just seems to be dying a slow agonizing death, and it's taking me with it! I need my electronic brain back.
I have tried all the suggested steps repeatedly. I am getting nowhere. It seems to want to work, it just keeps erroring out.
Thanks.
I had yesterday some problems regarding radio upgrades, which can not be solved by WIKI, so :
my radio rom was TYPEII and the files for upgrade are TYPEI => It can not upgrade
Tryed radio 1.13 TYPEI with TYPEI files and NOID => error
then tryed radio 1.13.1 TYPEII with its TYPEII files and just copied into that dyrectory the NOID APP and it worked (i have just learned that MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe works with TYPEII RUU.dll and RUU.conf)
I was surprised because i use NOID for upgrading my roms and the files are TYPEI

Big Problem?

I was performing the radio update on my MDAIII and now he hangs in the bootloader with USB in the upper middle und 2.08 in the under middle. All resets won`t bring it back to life. If I try to reinstall the update all I get is a blank message screen (update from version to version) in my Vista. How can I get out of there.
I did everything what was stated here
The original BAUpgradeUT won`t find my device. The MAUpgradeUt_noID.exe gives me the blank screen with the update from to screen.

I'm using a Vista PC.
After the Radio update to 1.15 the error described above is not to go away yet.
What to do, I'm nearly in tears.
Finally I got it back but with an old Romupdate from T-Online. Is there someone who got the QTC 9090 update (latest one)
That was fast..
im glad you solved your problem.
i think someone here has it.
just post what you need and make it as a title for others to read in the digest.
Im not a expert but is vista the problem??
Most likely.
Failed MDA II flash with vista notebook
Hello everybody,
I just read this thread in hope to find a solution for my problem, which is quite similar to the one described here initially.
I got a used MDA III with T_Mobile ROM. Since I'm a customer with O2, I wanted to change the ROM to O2 as well. I followed the directions given in an other thread here (don't have the link just now) and during the flashing, the flash application suddenly had no connection to my MDA III anymore. It was securely settled in its craddle an connected to my laptop via USB. Now my MDA III is stuck in Bootloader Mode with USB v2.07 displayed on the screen.
Each retry of installing either the O2 or the T_Mobile ROM now meet with the error 101: no connection. I read here that you managed to update successfully with a vista pc. Thus I wanted to ask, how you did that since I just don't seem to find the reason for the connection failing each time.
Here is what i tried to establish connection so far:
* disabled virus scanner & firewall
* unplugged the mda III and plugged it in again. It was recognized as a new device but that didn't help the connection issue
Could you please post what you did to make the update work under vista? Help would be greatly appreciated

Try on computer with Windows XP and kill activesynk (wcecomm.exe on taskmanager/processes)
Maybe it will work. If u cant flash O2 ROM try to use "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe". On my Qtek 9090 allways flash using this APPS and allways work.
U can try too format device first, put it on candle and use "mtty1.42.exe". On XP, kill active sync, and open mtty1.42.exe and select port USB and put OK. Do "Enter" on command and should appear USB>. After this write Task 28. This will format all your PC. Try install SO after this. This command delete all files on PPC. I have attach files that you maybe need.
thankfor the tipp and sorry for my late reply. Since I have no XP PC available i tried the mtty1.42.exe on my vista notebook. When i run it however, it only lists com port 1-3, no usb port. Do i have to make a special configuration on vista for it to work?
Thanks in advance,

In vista i dont know...sorry for my late reply too.... in XP u must kill ActiveSync process called wincecom.exe. in vista, maybe u have to kill the Windows Mobile Device Center....i dont know...
Dont forget, put the Qtek 9090 in Boot Loader Mode (Pressing Power Button + Record Button + Reset), maybe will appear USB and u can format the device.
If this does not work, try on Windows XP....Find a friend with Windows XP and ask him to use his PC only to do that.
Maybe somebody in forum have the Windows Vista and can help u....
Sorry my terrible english....

Try this
Downlaod the XDA IIs .exe file and run it - no need to put into USB mode
http://www.o2online.ie/wps/wcm/conn...es+&+accessories/Xda+Range/Software+upgrades/
this should reset to factory default (o2)

PC restarted while upgrading P3600 Radio. Please help.

Ok so I was upgrading my radio on my P3600 to 1.41.00.11 to enable GPS and when it started upgrading, the status bar started on the PDA (as per trinityguides.info's instrucions) but it didn't on my computer. My computer then switched itself off, was dead for about 3 seconds, then restarted itself. I pulled the USB cable from the PDA and now it is stuck in a bootloader style screen, but sais,
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100 MFG
SPL-1.30.Olipro
A soft reset does nothing, neither a 'Battery pull-out'
I think that I am stuck in Hard SPL (according to Trinity Guides). Can anyone help me get the PDA back to normal so I can re-flash with the new Radio please? Thanks Alot.
P.s If it is of any relevance, My PDA was not synced with Activesync, But before the flash, I downloaded Activesync 4.5 to fix the 'Generic RNID device' problem on XP. It was identified on my pc as 'Mobile device' in my computer, as far as I can remember.
Sorry if this thread is not new to the site but as a noob (lol) im not really 'broken in' to the site yet. Thanks again for your help.
Hi everyone,
After further research, I reckon I should do the following:
1. In hard SPL, Connect it to another XP computer (my laptop)
2. Untick box called 'Enable USB connections' or whatever in Activesync 4.5
3. Open the ROM of my choice and Double click 'upgrade' or whatever
ROM][WWE][30.10.2008]Karmba_a Diamond Blue For Trinity
4. Wait for the ROM to install
5. Let the trinity soft-reset
6. Done!
7. Upgrade to radio '1.41.00.11' off trinityguides
8. Wait for the radio to install
9. Done!
Please tell me if im wrong so I know if there are any other steps to take. Thanks alot.
Ok guys, I guess, with time I solved my own problem. I did in the end connect my PDA to my XP laptop and used 'splxploit' (thanks to whoever made/programmed this!) which unbricked my device. Now when I tried to upgrade my radio again to a different version, because I have Olipro 1.30 installed instead of 1.20, I was unsuccessful. This shall be what I do next so I guess this thread is not needed anymore.
I'd appreciate it if one of the mod's would close this thread to try and save precious server memory, or can I do it myself (soz im new(ish) to the site!)?
Cheers Guys.
