XDA Mini S problem upgrading ROM in Vista... - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hi,
I've downloaded the latest ROM (v2.21.4.101) from the XDA website and tried to install using VISTA. I didn't have Activesync on my machine so downloaded v4.1 and tried to install, Vista didn't like it and suggested Windows Mobile Device Center. So got that, and went ahead with my ROM upgrade...
All was going fine, the phone turned off and went to the 3 colour screen but then on the PC it come up with ERROR!! This is when I started bricking myself, more so than the phone at this stage!! Luckily the ROM guide had a recovery guide and I'm back on with the phone now.
Question is... How can I upgrade my ROM?? Does WMDC not have the right drivers or something??
Can I use a different ROM maybe?? Say a WM6 ROM?
Please help!! This old ROM with the O2 software is doing my head in... its so slow!!!

It doesn't work with Vista, it will only work pre vista

Can't upgrade ROM with Windows Vista RC1

HI to all, i'm a newbie here and this is my first time to write and ask for help here. I been read the entire forum to get all info about the wizard phone and i really like this forum here. Give me alot of info about my phone, so i hope all people here can read first before ask question.
After a long search here, i still can't find my answer so i hope someone can help me. I just install the windows vista rc1 and hack the windows mobile based device working for it and i can sync everything and install software to mobile but when i try to upgrade my rom it won't work??? it say usb not connected but its connected at all. Anyone have any idea my happen here?
Hope someone can help me out, and i really appreciate.
If you use RegEdit to add a key called "WHOS" under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft key in the registry, connect your Windows Mobile 5.0 device and go to Windows Update, a new 7.0MB update will be available that enables Windows Mobile Device Center. This should let you do the update.
I done it already, like im say i can run the windows mobile based device with no problem for sync with my phone but when i try to upgrade the rom, the rom program will say error no usb connection. hope this will make it clear. thanks for ur help.
Anyone have try on this and having a same problem like me?
nope,works fine with me. i have asus p4pe-deluxe MB with usb 2.0 and a usb cable from canon.
my only problem is i dnt have license key,so m only on 14 days trial
hi there, i tried upgrading my 02 xda executive from the software update on O2 website.my active sync 4.1 stopped working in midst and my xda is nt working now.and my pc isnt recognising the xda. the xda isnt starting up its completely dead.I tried hitting the 2 softkeys and the soft reset button and the screen lights up and it says to rollback to factory setting hit 0 zero, but nothing happens................plz help would be appreciated.http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecSoftware.jsp
also the screen now has USB and v1.00 over it and shows nothing but this and not starting up and my pc pops a message up saying that an unknown usb device and cant be connected
at buddy28, try to reflash it with atleast latest AKU 2.* for universal,just click ur softreset button so that the bootloader will appear again then flash with new rom(be careful though if ur not PRO)
For ArtTX, im now using the Asus Barebone T2-p computer and i have try with another computer with windows vista rc1, it also don't working. It is possible because i'm using vista rc1 not vista beta2?
I'm using Vista RC1 and I cant flash my Wizard too
hmmm.... seem like all the rom upgrade doesn't support vista RC1....thats too bad. Oh well have to switch back to windows xp.

ROM updates using Vista and WMDC

I'm trying to upgrade to a WM6 ROM, and I am having problems. Vista keeps telling me the update utility has stopped working right after it restarts my phone into the bootloader.. Does anyone have any experience doing a ROM update with Windows Vista??
I cannot get any rom upgrade to work under vista and mdc. I too am trying to update to wm6 but without any success. It is really pissing me off.
One of the reason I'm not upgrading to Vista yet even tough I've got my business version for free...... Does it work if you try putting the phone on bootloader before starting the utility in vista?
This was a problem I had yesterday. Because i'm having a Vista only PC I went to my neighbour and updated de WM6 Rom there in Windows XP. When I came home again and wanted to install some things like Pocket IRC and Total Commander the problem still exited.
Then I decided to take a peek on Windows Update for Vista and there was a ActiveSync update for Vista. Now everything works fine now I've updated it. Maybe you could do try the same thing.

Hmmm.. Vista doesn't use ActiveSync. It uses Windows Mobile Device Center.....

This is true. I'm to damm used to the old name. But whitout the update I didn't saw the old sychronisation pictogram in the taskbar. After the update it appeared there and everything worked liked it should. Before the update it was impossible to install roms and other applications voor Windows Mobile. Now it works fine. It was an update called something with "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" in it.
this has been covered already use the search function.. you can dual boot using vmware and so on..

Upgrading to WM6.5 on XDA IIs - Error 150 Maupgrade

Hey guys,
I am trying to upgrade my XDA to WM6.5. When following the wizard steps, I enter the PDA into the bootload menu, but when I run the application on my XP desktop, I recieve the following error:
Error 150: Rom Upgrade Utility Error
This ROM upgrade utility does not design for your device.
Please get proper ROM upgrade utility and try again.
Help! It's frustrating the hell out of me!
please add which rom you currently use, do you have activesync installed
Me also have the same error
I have yust tried to install the new release with the same result.
I have a Qtek 9090 with WM 6.1 rel 5.2.20262 b. 19949.1.2.0.black, but in the past month I have tested many other...
Simply the install program don't recognize the device so cannot define if it's right or wrong.
Thank you in general for your fantastic jobs !
Sorry !
Yes I have Activesync installed (for another palmsize divice).
What????
Palm size device???? so you dont have activesync... you have hotsync but....
You already tried the WM6.1.... so you have activesync... men you are getting me crazy jejejej lol
BTW...
Try to conect your device if the activesync dont recognize it and sync.... restart your PC and PPC... the if this not works...
Uninstall the AS then Reinstall it..... if not works...
Try to change to other USB port
If dont works check your advanced conections settings
and check or uncheck the advanced network config box..... if not works...
BTW upgrading needs bootloader so put it on Bootloader mode conect it if your PC says something about not recognized just.... try other PC.... are you on VISTA or XP? suggested... XP.
Thanks
I have used very bad words, so don't panic ! The other device is a "normal" HTC 3300 (artemis) with 6.0 italian std rom and A.S. 4.5.0 (Build 5096) on Win XP.
The 9090 syncs regularly and it is regularly connected (I have stopped the bootloader and reboot the BA), I will test to reboot all, and eventually change the USBport, tomorrow morning (I am a little tired now and the eyes start to cross instead of read). As soon as I have done it I will and report here what does happend.
For now many thanks to you and to Xplode also.
night men!!!
Hope it works for you tomorrow... good luckits our pleasure to help.
Have you tryed the following ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FAQ_STUCK_AT_STARTUP
All Ok now
Symply from the last uprade of my 9090 I had changed the PC, so it haven't all the right Drivers.
Now, following Win XP requests (it was needing wceusbsh.sys) all is gone right so my 9090 actually exposes: CE OS 5.2.21169 (Build 21169.5.0.0) release. (and I am starting to play )
Many thanks to all.
you do not need drivers, install activesync in your pc, it includes al the drivers you need - if you have it and winxp still wants driver for the ba remove/uninstall activesync and reinstall it again - remember use the latest version of activesync
Hi,
Remove your "puce" and your sd card.
And try again of course with ActivSync.
For less worry upgrade on you BA's...I...WE recommend XP with Active Sync 4.5

Flashing with SEUS and HardSPL?

HI Guys,
is it possible to flash (or check if R3 is existing ) via SEUS when i have installed hardSPL?
When I follow the instructions in SEUS the application doens't check my firmware...
I got in tricolor mode and attached usb cable but nothing happens?
do i have to revert to stock spl or is there a special trick?
thanks & greets from austria
Alex
No, u dont need to revert to stock SPL for using SEUS..
Just make sure u have sync ur X1 properly with activesync/windows mobile device center before using SEUS.
But if u'r using cooked ROM, i suggest u revert back to Stock ROM first.
hm, weird..Im having the same issue..
perhaps its win7 related
That's odd. I thought the new SEUS should work well with Win7, itje.
I just tried on my laptop with vista...It started with no problem
but I dont get any r3 updates, just to reinstall the stock rom I now have...

I think it's not Win7 problems. I've tried it with Vista, SEUS didn't work when I was using cooked ROM, then i revert to stock ROM and it works.
lol, did you think I tried with cooked rom?
I have try it with hard-spl olinex and with my own custom rom that is a light version of official rom (without videos and ringtones) made be me. jejeje
And seus works ok. Not problem at all..
Bthw i use win xp pro sp3
i have tried it now several times, only one time the status screen "checking version" came up but didn't really do anything....
reinstalling of seus didn't change anything
What ROM r u using? Cooked or Stock ROM?
I'm using generic_AT_R2 rom / stock...
but i have just discovered that my battery is < 50 %
will charge it now and try again later... maybe sw checks the status? (error message would be fine )
hy all
Small seus guide
1.unplug the phone
start seus and click next till it asks to connect phone
2.pull the battery
press volume down and power (enter bootloader)
3.connect the phone
and seus will recognise it

Hi Jerpelea..
Can you confirm if SEUS works with Cooked ROM? Some ppl reported SEUS worked with it, but in my experiences, it never worked with WM6.5. Or maybe SEUS only works with WM6.1 cooked ROM? or maybe I miss something?
I have use seus with my own custom rom that i made with an original wm6.1
R2AA from LAM i just take out the videos and other stuffs like bigs mp3...
And seus has work well...
hi!
i justed tried it with a full battery but same mistake again...
went through all instructions, phone is in tricolor, connected usb but then nothing happens...
i'm using SPL-0.72.OliNex
any suggestions?
thanks!
hi again!
just tried it again on a differnt computer, now i tried it with windows XP
and it worked
so there is a big problem with vista sp1..
tried to reinstall drivers and so on but it simply doesn't work
-> win XP worked great now I have 3RAA007 generic AT
greetz from AT
Well i think the problem is Vista/Windows 7.
The odd thing is that it can discover the device when it's not in bootloader mode(though not flash it because it's not in the bootloader mode).
It tells you the device couldn't be verified, but to me it seems like the program will only work if your device has an established partnership with ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center. But the device in bootloader mode isn't capable of establishing partnership, and therefor it doesn't get detected by the application.
That's my theory atleast.
I've used seus with a custom rom. But it definitely doesn't work in win7.
XP it works everytime, and vista seems a bit hit and miss..
I got my phone last friday and tried SEUS almost straight away, Windows 7 really doesnt like it. Had to use my xp laptop
Hmm... weird. I'm on HSPL with an original ROM, but not stock.
SEUS goes as far as "Checking connected phone" and then exits.
Any ideas?

[Q] ROM Flashing from PC on Mac - not working

I am trying to flash the ROM on my Touch Pro 2 before I sell it. I am running windows XP on a mac using Parallels 5.0. I have tried running the ROM update when active sync is connected and all starts ok then I get error 226 saying cannot connect. I then tried flashing straight from a newly FAT32 formatted microSD card and that jsut stocks on with a Loading message. So I tried flashing Hardspl, although I think that I have done this before when I still had a pc, but that failed with a connection error too. Any tips/advice anyone?
You need to provide more information. Are you trying to flash a custom ROM, and which one? What ROM are you running now? What version of the phone do you have/what carrier?
If you are still HardSPLed, the second line of text on the bootloader (tri-color) screen will say "OliNex", probably saying "SPL-0.85.Olinex". If it doesn't say this, the SPL is locked, and you won't be able to flash a custom ROM.
If you are trying to flash the stock ROM, I think some people have been having trouble doing so with the phone HardSPLed. But it may depend on what stock ROM. I am able to flash the Euro stock ROM just fine on my HardSPLed phone.
ok, i'll try to answer your request for more info:
trying to flash Energy Rom build 23699.
Existing ROM version is listed as 2.07.401.1 (80303) WME dated 2/4/10.
Phone is an unbadged HTC Touch Pro 2 as sold by Tmobile etc in UK.
Can't see any mention of OliNex on bootloader screen, so perhaps I didn't unlock= it after all. Certainly no T mobile stuff left on the phone now.

Don't know off hand what ROM that you have installed right now. What do the boot screens look like when you start the phone? Also, what does the bottom row of red letters say, when you startup the phone?
If it doesn't say Olinex on the bootloader screen, you are not HardSPLed. Either you never did it, or you relocked it.
Run HardSPL, and you should be able to flash from the SD card no problem.
Redpoint. Thanks for your replies and interest. I have tried to run HardSpl but this fails with a 260 connection error, even though Activsync is synced and connected. Id this to do with running a virtual pc on a mac perhaps?
Your welcome, hope my advice is helpful.
HardSPL is pretty finicky, even on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. I think running it on a Mac is difficult or even impossible. You can search the HardSPL thread and see if anyone was able to get it to run on Mac. I'm pretty sure I read different users on that thread mentioning issues with running HardSPL on Mac.
My best advice would be to run HardSPL on a friend's Windows XP system, if possible. It usually runs smoothly on XP, and only takes a couple minutes.
Yes, that confirms my suspicions. I will try it frommy partners windows XP netbook whenshe gets home. Fingers crossed.
Will let you know how I get on and if I need any more help!
