than tick maintain connection
--just plug your pda in the usb & wait for to discover the pc your pda
i'm using activesync 4.1
is enable but usb device not recognized :x
I suggest you read through these two threads first. Both of them discuss in detail the procedures involved. What's important is that in ActiveSync, the option "Allow USB Connections" is unselected. Here are the links of the two threads;

hi
I'm a newbie to PocketPC, I just bought an used PocketPC from my friend.
It's a T-mobile MDA Compact with O2 mini traditional chinese firmware. All the menu, everything is in chinese. The problem is...i can't really read chinese.
It maybe a dumb question! But i just wonder can any PPC experts here show me "Step by Step" how to flash it to an English ROM?
thanks everyone very very much!!
Cora. ^^
1. Download any Magician WWE ROM (latest is ver 1.13) and the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this board's ftp.
2. Extract the zip file and copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to the same folder where you extracted the ROM.
3. Disable the USB connection in ActiveSync.
4. Put you MDA in bootloader mode (press power+camera+resest at the same time.
4. Plug in your MDA to the USB cable.
5. Double click on the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.
I have followed the steps... After run the "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe", and click "NEXT"... then.. It says "Checking the information on your device... Please wait... " i have waited over 10mins, but still nothing happened. Wonder is there anything i have done wrong?? thx
Cora.
FINALLY... it's working!!
THX THX everyone!!
CORA.
What shall I do if on stage 2 it always stops on 24%....and nothing happens?
I just got an I-mate JAM with following info:
ROM version: 1010.00 WWE
ROM date: 08/18/05
Radio ver: 1013.00
Protocol: 1337.43
ExtROM ver: 1.12.550 WWE
RAM: 64MB
Flash: 64MB
Model No: PM10A
Platform: PocketPC
which ROM that i should use now?
and can I do it without USB cable? (copy ROM to MMC and install)
I'm living in Vietnam and use English
Welcome to XDA-developers!
Your ROM version is fine, however you may wish to upgrade to the latest 1.13 ROM + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage (by the way, BigStorage is just a way in which you can extend your measly 7MB of Storage to 27MB). However you will need a USB cable for the above method: I highly recommend to invest in one anyway, as you will find installing many programs onto your JAM difficult without one.
I think it is possible to upgrade with just a SD/MMC card and a SD/MMC reader for your computer, however it is considerably more complicated and you will not be able to back up your existing ROM, as you will need your computer to command your JAM during the backup process. You will probably need to merge two upgrading methods in order to get a USB cable-free process, something that no one else has done. Sorry I don't quite have the time for that yet, but maybe someone else can come to your aid!
Is there a technical reason you can't use a USB cable by the way?
EDIT: I forgot this: the reason why you cannot upgrade by just dumping a ROM onto the SD card and letting the JAM upgrade from that is that the ROM must be modified with some special, device unique data from your JAM first before your JAM will accept it. The normal ROM upgrade programs do this via USB by retrieving the device data from your JAM and then applying it to the ROM they are about to send to it. While there is a way to manually get this required data, that too requires a USB cable (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=231410).

Please avoid cross-posting, especially since this is the wrong forum. I can't help you anyway - different models of PDA can have very different ways of doing things.

Thanks for your help, i'll try and tell u the result.
Hello!
I'm French, and I have a Qtek 8310 (currently with WM5).
I'd like to turn into WM6, but it seems there is two different ROMs here (the sticky from jm012a9749 and the sticky from andot), and I really don't know which one is the best for me...
So, if you could help me to find the best for me:
I'm French (but I guess both are in English, so there is no hope for me to find a French one... )
I don't send any MMS
I send a lot of SMS (I'd like a French T9)
I use Windows Live (Messenger, Contacts, Hotmail, Spaces...)
I use a SIP account to make phone calls with the wifi
I sometimes take some photos
I'm not a complete geek... so, I need a ROM not too hard to install...
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

go with the perfect edition, which is better tuned and less buggy.
You can find many extra applications in the forum. especially check the extras package under Phil's sticky (post 4 I guess). Follow the instructions in Phil's sticky to supercid and format binfs, then install andot's PEE. I guess you can also find localisation files in the forum, but I never tried that.

Oh my God, I haven't understand anything of what you said...
When you say "andot's PEE", does it mean that?
And, I think I have understand that I must do the things written in the topic of the other ROM (Phil's one), before installing the andot's ROM... Am I right?
Please excuse me if I'm bothering you with my stupid questions... I'm not a geek. A big thank for your patience!!!

Its alright mate, ill guide you
1) Run SDA_Application Unlock
2) Extract SPV-Services, copy cert.cab into your phone and open it from ur phone to install it
3) Run SP-services, click CID-Tools, Set CID=1111111, turn off your phone
4) Remove the USB cable, disable USB Active Sync Connection ( Active Sync connection options )
5) Hold the camera button when the phone is off, plug in the USB cable, you will see a 3 colour screen
6) Run teratermpro, select USB
7) Type info2, you should see some weird number and HTCSuperCID
8) Type 'format BINFS' w/o the quotes
9) Then when its done, type 'ResetDevice'
10) Then run Phil's GSMUPDATE, get it from Phil's BETA thread, first post, extract it and run RUUUpgradeUtility

Thanks a lot karhoe, it's vey nice of you!!
Before beginning: You talk about ActiveSync... but I use Windows Vista, so I have the "Gestionnaire pour appareils Windows Mobile" instead of ActiveSync... May it be a problem?
Oh, and another quick question before I begin:
Is there a way to save my SMS messages on my computer, in order to put them back on the phone after the upgrade?
I'm afraid you have a problem, SuperCID only work on WinXP, besides that, you cant run the RUU just like that in Vista, I suggest you do everything on an XP system
Yes, you can transfer SMS into your phone, use JeyoMobileExtender, trial version for few days, enough to backup, after that you can crack, but im not going to post the crack here
Also, in Vista, you don't have Active Sync, but Windows Mobile Device Centre, which is another problem, just get an XP system
[nothing... please excuse this useless topic]
I'm so stupid, I did'nt remember I have a old laptop with XP.
I'm on it currently.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5, Jeyo MobileCompanion to backup SMS, Contacts and Call History on the PC.
Then, I ran SDA_ApplicationUnlock, but it told me "Phone is not unlockable", and just after: "SDA succesfully unlocked. PLEASE REBOOT SDA NOW!". It's quite weird...
Well, I rebooted the phone, and now I'll do your etap n° 2.
2) Extract SPV-Services, copy cert.cab into your phone and open it from ur phone to install it

I guess "SPV Services" is that: http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236
I have a problem: I copied Cert.cab on the phone and ran it to install it, but the installation failed.
I guess it's because SDA_ApplicationUnlock hasen't work...
What should I do now?
edit: That's okay, I succeded with HTCUnlock-CVS.zip instead of SDA_ApplicationUnlock.
I'm proud of me! LoL
(problem solved)
Good luck dude, later when you want to transfer back the SMS to your phone, just Select all by hitting CTRL A, then clk Copy SMS to device

awesome mate! good luck flashing. I am warning you, it will become a habit
Thanks for your encouragements.
But I think I have a BIG problem, now:
I ran the "ROMUpdateUtility" from the WM6GSMUPDATE.zip of Phil, and I had no problem, it come to 100% quite fast.
Then, I've just ran the "ROMUpdateUtility" from wm6-for-tornado-perfect-english-edition-20070810.zip, and I now I have an error:
ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
The Update utility cannot connect to your Smartphone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your Smartphone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course, the cable is still well connected, I haven't unplugged it.
Currently I have the 3 colors bands on the phone screen, with some things written.
That's OK now, I rebooted the phone and it worked.
Yesssss!!!!! It worked!!!!
I'm really happy!
But now I would like to know how to write SMS messages... Because I can only write numbers.
(Is there a French T9 available?)
Thanks in advance for your help.
salut,
tu es francais alors je parle francais, pour le t9, telecharge les extas dispo dans le post de phil, install xt9 english et ensuite instal MoDaCo xt9 ! et voila tu le t9 en francais
Super, merci pour ton aide !!
By default, it does not have any input, you must install T9 English or whatever language you want
T9 english

But not success.
Now my Zinc is in black screen and red light when I connect to PC.

use a dos app instead of text file and rename it to devicespy.exe with readonly
attre..
What if I dont have another PPC???
I am going thru the very same problem...
What if I do not have another healthy PPC???
Also, will the settings be the same if I am using a Windows Mobile Device Center rather than a ActiveSync 4.5???
Please help me out with this Zinc issue!!!!
