I found two days ago that doing a WM6 ROM upgrade on my Jasjar via a PC running VISTA Ultimate, the device got stuck in BootLoader Mode.
I have Bootloader v2.01 on my device.
The only way to recover was to attach the Jasjar to a PC running XP and then start from scratch.
I tried it again today and got the same result!
I recommend NOT to upgrade ROM on a PC running VISTA.
I hope this helps someone, somewhere.
Thankyou to all the gods that walk amongst us monkeys.

never upgrade your ROM in Vista 32 0r 64bit doesn't work at all or may kill your device.
Windows Xp is the way to update ROM
I upgrade fine using vista but you must use the guide to do it right
OMG it is finally updating. Using XP.
Got stuck in bootloader after trying to flash from Vista. Thought I "bricked" (as you guys almost universally put it) the thing. Fixes didn't work (I already had the USB Modem driver installed, mtty didn't see any USB connection, and so on...)
Connecting to an XP laptop and works perfectly.
In Vista, in the boot loader mode you have to use the old XP drivers dated 2004. When you put your Universal in the boot loader and connect to your PC under Vista, than under device manager the USB driver must be 2004. If not then you have to install the old 2004 driver.
KOR!
Possibly the fastest phone brick in history... I did everything wrong...
AT&T Tilt, Windows Vista host machine
I ran the SSPL, NOT the Hard-SPL...
16% thru it failed
Rebooted, tri color screen, but not the same extact screen I had seen after running the SSPL on my Tilt.
Hard Reset, said yes take me to factory settings, back to same tricolor screen
Plugged it into a XP box, drivers installed, plugged in USB (it shows USB connection on the screen) Activesync of course wont go green
Loaded both the Kraiser rom and the Cingular rom, both fail at 1% and reboot the device and same invalid device ID..
Any ideas, aside from I'm a r-tard?
I ran the Hard-SPL on my HTC and it worked as it should. I'd say give that a shot, THEN try flashing the ROM of your choice.
-Mc
Problem is, when I run hard spl it expects activesync to be running, but in bootloader mode AS doesnt connect so Hardspl wont load =/
- Disable activesync usb connections
- Connect to bootloader with mtty and type the following commands to know your CID and Model ID:
Code:
Cmd>task 32
Cmd>info 2
Cmd>getdevinfo
Paste the output here, and also tell me which SPL version you have on your device.
Also, does the tri-color shows "RUURUN" or similar in the screen?
You should flash a ROM matching your CID to fix it.
Cmd>task 32
No card inserted
Level = FF
Cmd>info 2
HTCSCWS__001Ùü¤HHTCE
Cmd>getdevinfo
GetDevInfo: Get CID OK
HTCSKAIS1*00CS_0HTCE
Cmd>
Device screen says
RUUNBH
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
Flash this ROM, should bring it back to life.
I'm leeching it now, 40% done, also FYI, I've posted on the Official ROM forum new links to most utilities and ROMs hosted on my servers off the rapidshare, to share free of charge.
Ahh, life saver =) Thanks, I'll be sure to add that rom to my list of full Kraiser roms on my web server, now to correctly flash it back with the HTC rom.
Thanks!
Same problem as TS. Bigger problem ... does anyone have the Dutch ROM?
Tnx!
I got the same problem as Palmore. After 16%, stuck, then bricked. I am downloading the ROM pointed by POF (thanks man!!) hopefully will unbrick it. Now, how do we get the HTC Kaiser ROM on this thing? Anyone?
It's on my phone. Tell me how do dump it and I ll send it to you.

Run the Hard-SPL utility on your PC, and follow the instructions (sticky on this forum)
It will allow you to flash any ROM after that, I've flashed the AT&T Rom, the HTC rom and back and forth, pulling cabs out of the AT&T rom for the items I like (IM utility etc)

Hi Wouter,
I bought a new Kaiser today (yes now I have two of them ).
I will see if I can dump the Dutch ROM myself and see what happens next.
Thanks for your help anywhy!

Ok, so here is my situation. I have a Tilt and Vista.
I ran HardSPL and I am at the tri-color screen. I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.JumpSPL
CPLD-8
USB (in the middle of the screen)
I tried disconnecting and reconnecting it several times. I cant get HardSPL to run again (it hangs at the first section looking for ActiveSync) I tried restarting Vista several times. I can NOT turn off my device, as holding down the power button does not appear to work.
I have tried just running a couple of .exe roms (AKU 0.7.0 ROMS) and I get the connection error [264]. I cant re-establish my ActiveSync connection. In device Manager I have Microsoft USB Sync for the mobile device, but I cant get ActiveSync (Mobility Center) to see it.
I have tried opening MTTY to run "boot" but it says USB Port Can NOT be opened.
I just need some direction here, as it seems like everything hinges on my ActiveSync connection. I have been up and down the Wikis for Hermes and all the similar ones, and I think I am SOL.
I WILL GLADLY DONATE if thats what it takes for someone to help me. Thanks guys, I cant wait for my HTC Rom to work.
Vista Problem.
First off, i had the same problem as you so i just found an XP box to use.
Second, even with XP i still managed to **** up because i did not read the directions all the way through. This device is totally different so make sure you read all the directions.
If you have no access to an XP machine then u can just "obtain" a copy of XP and dual boot just for flashing your device.
If you have no idea what I am saying then read some more. the hermes forums have some great information when it comes to flashing via Vista.
For all you guys that just saved between $300.00-$500.00. How about sending POF like %5 or %10 of what he just saved you...
I'm just sayin'
Later, Lew
Have you installed the XP activesync drivers under Vista? The Hermes Wiki mentions somewhere how to do that.

I got it working. I had to pull the battery out of the phone to get it out of bootloadr, it was just plain stuck. Then, in Vista, I needed to F8, disable driver enforcement, I replaced the wceusbh.inf in device manager, and relaunched HardSPL and there she was! Now for the BigStorage.
Thanks to all that helped, I will be donating pof for sure
Hello Everyone I'm a newbie in Pocket PCs. Recently I have bought a Qtek 9000 with WM5 on it and of course decided to upgrade. I have spent few hours reading the wiki and looking through the corresponding threads. Finally I decided that it's time to flash.
Since I'm using windows Vista, I followed these tutorials and updated Vista's drivers:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001. Everything's good so far.
Now, according to the tutorial http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade, I have to unlock my Qtek first. The unlock method is given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435. And here comes the problem: button's 1.05 ROM (CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE) displays the screen saying "ERROR [222]: DEVICE NOT RESPONDING". However, Windows Mobile Device Center is connected to the PDA and can transfer contacts/files without a problem.
I tried to do a hard reset but final result is the same - ERROR [222]. Tried Windows Xp - no luck. Please help!!!!

i got the same problem as mentioned :/ cant do anything about it
Hi guys,
Its been a long time since my last update but its always worked smoother if the device is in bootloader mode (light button + power button + reset switch, if I remember right!) before connecting to USB.
Good luck!
Hi my Qtek 9000 doesn't work anymore after installation of Ranju_v77_WM61_19900_19900_1_0_2.
it never finished it.
but when i try to recovery on qtek or with the pc, with the Ranju installation program.
it also said don't look weird if you only got usb with the version number on your pda screen.
that window comes after if the installation failed, but when i try to back it up the program stops working.
so now i can't use my pda please help me.

Hi,
The answers you seek are in the WIKI.
Hold the backlight + power button whilst resetting the device. This will put you back into bootloader mode, you can then reflash the Rom.
I would also advise that you SuperCid your device before flashing any Roms, if you haven't done so already.
Again this is documented in the Wiki.

The problem is Vista!
Search the forum and you will find a post with a fix (old drivers) for Vista, or just use a Windows XP or previoous MS OS to flash your device.
I would suggest XP if you plan to keep flashing in the near future
do i need to super cid my htc universal in order to upgrade to ranju v77. my universal is branded dopod 900 and can use with any simcard. thanks
lucky for me, i also got a pc with xp sp2 but my pda works with ranju v77 thnx man.

I just tried to upgrade my XDA EXEC and it was not succesful. After this attempt my exec is dead, I can't turn it on it is still showing boot loader "Serial" on the screen without backlight (when connected to PC is showing USB instead of SERIAL). When I try to upgrade it is always unsuccesful.
I'm working under Vista, maybe this is the issue.
Used different roms and all with the same effect.
Tried to run mtty before upgrade but it is showing "can not open usb port".
Has anyone idea how to sort it???
Welcome to forums
If you already read the Wiki:

Good luck,
flashing with vista
Hi all,
I have Universal.
I have never been able to flash any rom's with vista.
Why??After all, Vista doesn't need Activesync.
By the way, how can the LEDs under the keyboard be blue on the pic above?
(Mine is red.)
Yes you can flash in vista and to sync you use windows mobile device center instead activesync, but for new members is always more easy to flash the 1st time on XP machine.
The blue light on the keyboard can be changed (at least not that I know)
That is something related to the Universal model you have.
Check here to see all different models:

As far as I know the only blue light is the O2 Exec
