i have mpx200 running smartphone 2002...it doesn't see my device when i go into bootloader mode..it loads the active sync driver fine and sees the device when power is on, but once I turn off and go to boot loader mode it says unknown device.. when I try to load the drivers then it says enure driver is for 32 bit.. i have download the 32 bit and 64 bit. and get the same error in boot loader mode trying to load the driver that way. Any suggestions? I have flashed my phone before several times in xp.

Well i must be the odd one out here - i bought my I-MATE JASJAM in Beirut Lebanon
Back home in Geneva, I stupidly overwrote the arabic language ROM with a Telstra (australia) upgrade found from a search engine this Australian Telstra upgrade caused me no ends of problems living in Switzerland then i discovered in www.Clubimate.com that there is an 'official' upgrade available so i tried to install that over the Telstra I kept getting the message that the I-Mate was not detected and to plug the USB cable in - which of course it was and the Red Green Blue screen showed Version IPL -1.01 on the red band and USB was showing on the white band at the bottom of the screen I did this on a Vista machine AND an XP machine So grateful to have found this site, i followed all the steps above and there is ABSOLUTELY NO difference - ''plug usb cable in etc etc'' sheesh has any one any ideas and can this be done easier on an XP machine following the same process ? |

I can't get the driver update to get going..
 When I try to select the .inf file it says (loosely translated from danish) "The selected folder does not contain a compatible softwaredriver for the unit. If the folder contains a driver, check that it has been developed to work with Windows for 32-bit systems"  Edit: Nevermind! I forgot to start in bootloader mode  Edit II: Got so far as to update the first time.. But the second time it says something about wrong vendor..

QUOTE(madjokeer @ May 14 2007, 12:11)  i do believe this works for a 32-bit system but not the 64bit.. is there a usb driver for 64bit.. i found one on xda.. heres the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...ista+64bit+mtty but the drive gives an error code 39 stating it cant install it If you are running Windows Vista 64-bit, then driver signing verification is on. In order to turn it off, and, thus, load this driver, you have to reboot the machine and turn driver signing verification off. When the OS starts to load, hit the F8 key. That will bring up the boot options screen. The "Disable Driver Signing Verification" choice is towards the bottom of the list. Hope this helps! |

just wanted to report that if you are running SP1 on your system...updating these drivers will cause RUU to crash when you try to do an upgrade.

ok I found out how to start in bootloader... power, camera, reset. But I can't find mobile devices in device manager. Not listed when I'm connected as I should be and not listed when I disable USB connections.

I did this about 10 times already and I still get the same thing: RUU stopped working!!!! This is total BS!!!!
should I run this in compatibility mode for XP? I'll try it that way, but this has became a worthless way of getting something simple done.....

I followed the guide but had some issues. I ended up writing up another guide that combines the findings i had until i got it to work.
Maybe it will help others! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Hardware: HTC Tornado (Vodafone V1240) Vista Ultimate 32bit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Credit goes to Kar Hoe and Modaco's Paul O'Brien. http://karhoe.net/content/view/21/1/ http://www.modaco.com/content/Windows-Mobi...ultimate-guide/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ STEPS: 1. Unlock phone and put it into SuperCID mode - connection phone to PC via USB cable - download http://karhoe.net/myfiles/lokiwiz02_173.zip - unpack and execute 'Lokiwiz.bat' - type u [+enter] to unlock it. wait patiently for restart! - type c [+enter] to put into SuperCID mode. NOTE: if this was done improperly phone will get stuck on Bootloader mode, even after being flashed 2. Put phone into Bootloader mode - turn off phone - connect USB - for HTC Tornados push the camera button for a few seconds, then tap poweron, and continue to hold camera button until white screen appears = red, green, blue screen - for other phones, google your phone model + 'bootloader mode button'. Shouldnt be too hard to find. 3. Update Windows Smartphone driver from default to patched - Download and unpack VistaRUU.zip http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach...st&id=21151 - establish connection to PC via USB cable - hit START button and type 'mobile device center'[+enter] - find&click Connection Settings - make sure 'Allow USB connection' is unchecked - hit START button and type 'device manager' [+enter] - under entry 'Mobile Devices' right-click the device (most likely 'Smartphone USB ...') NOTE: if there are no 'Mobile Devices', put the checkmark back on 'Allow USB connection' - select Update driver, then 'Browse my computer for ...', then 'Let me pick from a ...', then 'Have Disk...' and 'Browse...' to where VistaRUU.zip was unpacked - choose file 'wceusbsh.inf' and uncheck 'Show compatible hardware' - Select Manufacturer 'HTC' and Model 'HTC USB Sync' and wait for driver to install 4. Prepare for Flashing New ROM - Doublecheck that 'Allow USB connection' is unchecked in Mobile Device Center - Make sure to close Mobile Device Center: hit CTRL+Shft+ESC, select tab 'Processes' and end process 'wmdc.exe' if it is running - Make sure phone is still in bootloader mode (tri-color screen) and connected via USB - Download & unpack latest ROM http://rapidshare.com/files/88742283/Torna...num_Edition.rar (optional to check if newer version exists http://karhoe.net/content/view/21/1/ ) - Finally, go to folder with new ROM and execute 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe' - [checkbox] next, [checkbox] next, then follow instructions - Wait for 100% and phone to reboot. - Worked? Pat yourself on the shoulder once, twice if it worked right away. You re officially a geek. Dont tell anyone. Woot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT IF...??? -..Error 260: disconnect USB, take battery out of phone then power back up, reconnect USB. Possibly doublecheck / repeat driver update in 3, doublecheck 4. -..ROM is updated, phone wont start properly or is stuck in Bootloader mode: Steps 1. and (more likely) 2. werent done properly. You have to put WM5 back on the phone and repeat steps 1. and (more likely) 2.! But dont despair - it wont take long. Go to your phone's support website and download ur phone's official WM5 ROM. For V1240: http://s131209249.online.de/vodafone_softw...254832_ship.exe It should contain a file called 'nk.nbf' (~30-40MB file). copy+replace the one thats in the new WM6 ROM. disconnect USB, take battery out of phone then power back up, reconnect USB. Execute 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe' again, and this time it should revert your phone back to WM5. Repeat steps 1. and 2., exchange 'nk.nbf' back to the WM6 and try again. -..something else went whack: sorry, the above were the only 2 errors i encountered, but check the guides i used for help: http://karhoe.net/content/view/21/1/ http://www.modaco.com/content/Windows-Mobi...ultimate-guide/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheerio, Basss email - stopel [at] gmail.com MSN - phynesse [at] hotmail.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post has been edited by Phynesse: Mar 2 2008, 08:45 -------------------- [v1240 + 2Gb | WM6]

There are versions of RUU which work without any of this.
I've upgraded my Athena with no problem and the first time I upgraded my StrTrk it worked, using a different ROM it didn't work but changing the RUU it worked fine. I just have a default instal ov Vista (not yet SP1) -------------------- He who asks a question looks foolish for 5 minutes. He who doesn't ask a question remains foolish forever.

im stuck on step 15 install your update? how do i do it? and where do i get it from?
Make sure you installed HardSPL as follows: power off and then press power on while keeping camera pressed, this will enter the so called bootloader mode and you see a tri-color screen (Red, Green, Blue). You should see "SPL-1.0 OliPof" on the second line in the top left corner. You can exit this mode by means of a "soft reset": press the reset button with the stylus. how do i get hardspl install? is in bootloader mode now but is showing spl-1.93.0000 not spl-1.0 like it says above helppppppppppp what i do my This post has been edited by tonytun: May 9 2008, 22:09 |

QUOTE(Paul (MVP) @ Mar 14 2007, 10:57) Before starting: Your device needs to be connected to the PC, and in BOOTLOADER mode. Step 1 of 16: Extract this zip file to a memorable location on your machine (e.g. the desktop). This is the Activesync 4.5 RTM USB driver. [attachment=21151:VistaRUU.zip] Step 2 of 16: Run 'Windows Mobile Device Center', and click 'Connection Settings'.  Step 3 of 16: Uncheck the 'Allow USB Connections' box, and select 'OK'.  Step 4 of 16: Run 'Services' by clicking the Start Orb and typing 'Services', and ensure the 'Windows Mobile-based connectivity' and Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity' services are started. If they are not, click the service name and press the 'play' button on the top bar.  Step 5 of 16: Load 'Device Manager' by clicking the Start Orb and typing 'Device Manager'. Expand the 'Mobile devices' section and click the 'HTC USB Sync' (or similarly named) item.  Step 6 of 16: Click the 'Action' menu and select 'Update Driver Software'.  Step 7 of 16: Click 'Browse my computer for driver software'.  Step 8 of 16: Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.  Step 9 of 16: Click 'Have Disk'.  Step 10 of 16: Click 'Browse', and browse to the location where you extracted the ZIP file in Step 1.  Step 11 of 16: Double click 'wceusbsh.inf'.  Step 12 of 16: Select 'HTC USB Sync' from the list, and click 'Next'.  Step 13 of 16: Wait while your driver is installed.   Step 14 of 16: Run 'Task Manager' by clicking the Start Orb and typing 'taskmgr'. Then find the 'WMDC.EXE' item, and click 'End Process'.  Step 15 of 16: Install your update! Everything should now run fine! You just need to bear in mind the final step when you want to start syncing normally again... Step 16 of 16: In 'Windows Mobile Device Center', re-enable the 'allow USB connections' checkbox you disabled in Step 2.  GREAT!!!!!!YOU ARE MAGICIAN!!! |

Unfortunately the 16 steps outlined above did not work for me.
What did work was this command that you put in the command prompt: net localgroup Administrators /add Local Service That worked for me. |

I thought I had killed my phone for good. I even sent my wife to check the Verizon store for the 6800 model; that's how bad oit was. I did the initial ugrade but it lost connectivity and it shut down and the phone was stuck in boot loader mode. I was freaking out until I found this post. But it worked! Windows Mobile Device Center didn't even need to be connected! The only difference I found was when browsing for the driver like you told me to do. When I did this, the name of the driver did not come back as HTC USB Sync. It showed the Microsoft USB Sync instead (even after clicking directly on the file name in the folder you provided us). This was a bit fishy to me because I didn't want to end up in the same boat I was in before. So this is where I played with it a bit.
I decided to uncheck the "Show Compatible Hardware" box which brings up a list of drivers by manufacturer name. I scrolled to "HTC" and selected the "HTC USB Sync" like you showed in the directions. Of course, I received a warning that the driver was not compatible with my computer, however, it worked perfectly for the upgrade. Since my phone was already stuck in boot loader mode, I restarted the upgrade, and now I can use my phone again. Thank you very very very much! My wife ended up buying a new phone though when she went to Verizon, so it still looks like I ended up spending some eunnecessary money anyways. Oh well. My phone works, and I'm happy. Thanks again. |
