I've got this QTEK 9100 for a while now. But some days ago it stopped working. When i power it on i get to the "Windows Mobile loading screen" where the "wheel" starts turning around, but it stops after a few seconds.
I thought the ROM was damaged and tried to flash it. But my problem is, that when i go to the Bootloader screen (RGB screen) i can't make it sync with my PC. I've got a Vista Ultimate and i have no problems with detecting my QTEK 9100, but i can't establish a synchronization with it using Windows Mobile Device Center. Have anyone got any experience with this or know a program, that synchronizes easier? I would really appreciate it if possible.
Your problem is Vista....you need to get ahold of an XP machine, and you should then be able to update,.
Always read and search the forum regarding your problem,this problem has been posted hundreds of times and advised that WinXP is highly recommended.Vista is still not fully compatible and has problems.
There was no need to start a new thread for this particular problem.
I am so sorry for this thread, i should have searched more before posting. I have to admit that i am a real NOOB on forums. But it seems i got it working when i searched a bit more and found a solution to my problem.
I ended up using ROMUpdateUtility on my wizard without having ActiveSync established in any way.
Thanks anyway
i use vista x64. whats my secret???

Hi all, ive been looking on here for a while now (and several other places too) for a fix for this. i have a cingular 8125 that works fine with all versions of activesync on windows XP, but on my home computer i have Vista RC1. i have downloaded WMDC and instaled that and i get all the way through the installation fine, then when i go to sync, it loads all the USB driver untill it gets to on that says "Unspecified Device" and fails. I havve tried the "WHOS" reg patch and several other things inculding checking for udates with the device attached, installing with the device attached....you get the pic..its bewen driving me nuts. Anyone either kow of a fix for this or have the driver(s) for me to install on the computer? Thanks in advance
Corey
Also...this has always been an issues since the stock 1.8 rom. i then tried the stock cingular 2.25 rom, the first release of the molski/faria/kyphur/etc. 3.3 rom, and the PDAVeit ver.2 WM6 rom and all have given me the same result. any ideas? i cant seem to find any driver anywhere, and im starting to think that maybe i have something wrong with my device.
bump for some help?
Vista Buisness N
Vista Buisness N confirmed not to work with active sync. Wait until Microsoft releases a patch. Probably tommorow
cool, thanks for the info...i hope it works on RC1 too.... do you know if it will be available from windows update or will i need to search microsofts webpage to get it? thanks for the help
I have vista ultimate got it a few weeks back and i ran into a problem with my mda because there is no active sync. I had to get the sync center version from RC1 to get it to sync right. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx thats where i got it from you can give it a try.

RUU under Vista
WMDC works fine for me (RTM build). The problem I have is eing unable to run RUU under Vista - it crashes after my Wizard goes into bootloader.
Someone seen this too or am I the only one unlucky?
bootloader
This is a very common problem. Ithink it has something to do with the rapi connections
Not sure this works, but have you made sure that the remote-NDIS network card is set to have the IP address assigned by the DHCP instead of using a static ip address (default)?
I am weary of upgrading to WM6 or Vista due to compatability issues. Even though the tech whore side of me is foaming at the mouth to them up and running I have read and think there are still too few drivers and support for Vista. Plus I need $134 to upgrade from business to ultimate

vista kind of sucks but wm6 is great.
Vista is just really annoying to use. I have Vista/sever 2003/xp on my laptop and I almost always use server. I think mostly because I develop web apps. Server just works, no crap.
WM6 is a very very welcome upgrade over wm5 and overall it seems less buggy than even the latest AKU's for WM5.
Hi, can anyone help?
Running Vista from my laptop and want to synch my Vario II with it (currently synched Vario II with XP running desktop). Tried to instal ActiveSync but laptop tells me it's already there but I can't find it in the programmes list and it won't find it on a search.
My laptop does recognise my memory card in the Vario II but won't recognise that it's actually in the Vario II - i'm confused. When I conect the Vario II I'm prompted for a password several times but I can't actually synch.
Vario II is running WM5, have considered WM 6.1 but would I still be able to sync with the XP desk top if I install it.
All a bit confusing and frustrating this, I'm not a techie so basic answers please (if possible!!!)
Thanks

im a veteran when it come to vista. but i still hate it!!!!!!!
check this link from microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
youll find the activesync for vista its called "Windows Mobile Devie Center."
vista sucks in the sense of all those security related stuffs.. wmd sucks.. big time, dun ever attempt to do reflashing of roms at vista, u may end up a bricked phone
nice help thanks
Active Sync is for Xp..
Windows Mobile Device Center is for Vista..
So you need to DL Windows Mobile Device Center

ooops, I forgot..
Good luck!

Vista works fine. You can get your phone bricked by not doing it right, it happens in all operating systems.
vista uses wmdc - windows mobile device center & not activesync. so go to the link mentioned on the 2nd post & dload wmdc. should be fine afterwards.
1 thing that bugs me with vista/wmdc is that everytime you sync your device, it changes your device ID to "windowsmobileXX" for my prophet and now to "HTCXX" on my touch pro where XX is a number. So some of my programs that need device ID for registration gets screwed up.
edit: i've never had any luck with flashing on vista for my prophet needed to use vmware running xp. haven't flashed my touch pro yet...
Here is a guide i wrote to flash Htc Himalaya's aka xda2 devices in Vista, the steps should be same :

Hi, I have an HTC 8125, and I desperetely want to flash it with a WM 6 ROM, But I only have Vista, and I am having so much trouble following the threads on doing this with Vista, that I am going to have to give up if I don't get some advice. I have downloaded the Wizard Tool, but it won't ever recognize that my phone is connected, even though Mobile Device Center says "connected". I tried using the program HARD SPL G4, but when it makes the screen go white on my wizard, mobile device center automatically says not connected, and at that point even though I get the screens to proceed with the new Rom, they dont work because my phone is no longer connected and nothing that I do lets it connect to mobile device center while the screen is white. I have to reset the phone and then the rom update doesnt work anymore.
Please help, even if it is pointing me to a topic or post that I don't know about. I have spent 12 hours reading and failing over and over with this.
Simple answer to all of your problems is Vista,Do it on a WinXP machine there won't be any problems.
Although,its possible to unlock and flash through Vista,but its still not compatible,WinXP is highly recommended.
Hi please help me , i'm stuck in boot loader mode trying to update my rom to windows 6.1 , i have vista on my computer .
I searched the forum but cant find any useful help.
I know lot many had this problem and have got sorted out , so please help me with clear instructions.
Thanks in advance,

since you are using vista, it is very unlikely, that your device is actually stuck in bootloader mode, it was your pc, causing that error. because the device changes its identity, while upgrading, vista (and windows 7) seem to think, it is necessary to look for new drivers. maybe you saw the driver search in the bottom right corner of the task bar.
so, basicly you have 2 options to get your device back, either you get to a pc with xp and perform the upgrade properly, or you try the vista method.
for the xp way, have a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1_WM2003SE0
that is the first step in the tutorial on how to upgrade and i bet you didn't do that in your first attempt
for the vista way, refer to this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista
or if you want it in pictures, this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista_Pic
i personally never got the vista way to work, not in vista home premium 32, nor in ultimate 64, and in windows 7 ultimate 64 it does not work for me neither.
the very best you can do in your situation is, try the vista method, and either it works, than proceed with the wizard i gave you as the xp link, or get to an xp computer and start with the wizard right away.
if your device really is stuck in bootloader (still unlikely), post back, and we try mtty
got the same problem but am working under windows 7 x64 so it willl be a serious issue
neverdmind fixed worked on my laptop with xp
I am still stuck
Can do nothing. Have this message on the screen and even then I try to connect it to my Vista there is no connection.
Is it that ****ty or something can be done
welcome to the forum!
your problem starts with v and ends with a (like so many evil things do): vista. ok, that was off, sorry, let's get to the facts now:
this is probably what you have experienced during the unlucky attempt to upgrade your device:
you start upgrading, everything looks fine, your pc's RUU (the rom upgrade utility, what you used to start the upgrade) is working fine, your device's screen said usb and v2.0X and then "upgrading" but then at some point, your pc said, "wait a minute, this is not the device i am used to, i cannot charge or sync it, and it also does not respond with the usual name!" so, vista is as 'smart' as trying to get a new driver for the device, making the sounds of a usb device unplugging, and a new one plugging in, that's when your connection is lost, and that is bad, because the wizzard told you before, to "never unplug the device, unless the upgrade process is over". you see, what happened there?
vista's ability, to make driver installation easier for the user has become bad for you in this situation, as you were relying on, say, windows xp's stubbornness.
ok, you say, why would he tell me all that? i saw that happening!
yes, but now you know what caused the problem. now we get on to solving it.
there is a nice tutorial in the wiki, where you can find a driver for vista x86 and x64, that will behave like the xp driver used to, it will charge the device, sync it, and still be able to upgrade, you find the wiki entry -=here=-, and -=here=- again with screenshots.
when you arrived at successfully having installed the driver, so making the screen on connection change from serial to usb, without vista searching for new drivers, you arrived at the point, from where on you can continue, or better restart, flashing the rom you originally intended to.
but let me say, after breaking rule 1, when it comes to flashing, may i advice you to read a little more about the general topic in the link -=here=-, because i can guarantee you, that that was not the last mistake you made with the upgrading process, and since you probably don't want to start from scratch again in a few days, you should ask yourself these questions:
have i formatted the extrom?
have i resized the partitions to gain storage space?
do i have a proper RUU?
did i pick the right rom?
what about sim unlock?
what about radio rom update?
do i know how to reset a device with a higher os than wm2003?
if to either of these questions, your answer was not a clear "yes!!", but a "no" or even "what is he talking about?" you should definetely make a little research before starting over, because you are breaking hardware limitations here, doing things, htc originally intended trained service professionals to do, not home users, this is something that could break your device or at least cost you a lot of time to repair, when done wrong, so please read the links i gave you, it will save a lot of your nerves. here you are again, -=the most important link=-
and -=another link with a common misunderstanding cleared up=-
have fun reading, you won't regret it.
Hi, I have this problem if anyone knows what i can do to fix this it will be a big help.
First i run CustomRUU with the 6.5 rom in the same folder.
All goes well till it starts to upgrade. As soon as the progress bar appears the HTC goes on standby and the usb connection is lost, thus the upgrade fails telling me to check the usb connection.
Now, i have unchecked the standby modes on the phone via the power configuration and disabled the standby on the PC and still this problem appears.
Does anyone know why this happens? And is there anything i can do to prevent this?
Thanks.
Have you done hardspl?
Yep, i tried that too but it didn't work. I synced the phone up with windows mobile device center then opened hardspl(Jade-HardSPL_V5_20R3_232HSPL) in "run as admin", tried both automatic and manual and got a message saying to make sure the phone was properly synced which it was. I also installed enablerapinew which didn't make a difference.
I have the jade 3G btw.
I can understand what the problem might be .
Any other thought??
If you're using WMDC, I assume you're using vista. Have you tried with XP? I've hardspl a friend's jade without problems as well. He has two laptops, one with vista and one with xp. I couldn't sync phone with vista, so i installed activesync on his xp and it worked fine. I'm not a techie but just sharing what worked for me. Perhaps others might also be able to help.
Hmmm... Im using windows 7 x64. That might be the problem. I'll try on my laptop which has XP x86 and we'll see what happens.
Thanks for the tip mate.
Btw what are the differences between WM6.1 and 6.5? Are the faster? Or just a GUI upgrade? Im using spb shell and it's excellent.
Nope, still the same with XP. Goes on standby and the USB connection gets lost.
I've looked and no one has had this problem before. What else could be the problem?????
Im fresh out of ideas.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. If you didn't succeed with the hardspl, you could take it back to HTC and tell them you have a problem with the standby mode. Don't say anything about trying to hardspl. May be a hardware problem.
You might be right, Maybe a bad batch or something.
I'll see what i can do.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Welcome. Let us know what happens. i had a problem with activesync - kept disconnecting by itself. The nice people at HTC changed the main board, which meant i got a new phone.
