Ive installed the wrong ROM, HELP !!!!!

I have installed the wizard ROM on my SPV m600. No excuses, I got the files mixed up and didn't check before I installed. The only way I can get anything to happen is to plug into the mains then I can get into the 3 color screen by holding camera for 5-7 seconds. If plugged into the PC the screen just flashes.
I know its a long shot but is my phone really dead ?????
Any suggestions really appreciated.

If you get those EXE ROM upgrade files from the xda-dev ftp, you ought to able to flash your phone from the 3 colour screen even if activesync is not working. I'm not sure about prophet, but you can try those EXE ROM upgrades files that has something like `no-ID` tag on their name.

Thanks for your advice but I cant plug it into the pc to do anything. It just flashes ? Also, I'm new to this site. Could you tell me what they are and how to get the EXE ROM upgrade files please.
After reading through a fem posts, there seems to be a way of accessing through a terminal program "mtty.exe" have you heard of this ?
Thanks

Do u get USB connectivity, if not then try SD Backup while plugging in main.

No USB connection at all, however, wescomm.exe does start. Ative sync dose not do anything. I will try the SD Backup method and post the result here after work.
Thanks

Did U get any success??

None :-( It's stuffed, I have tried everything now. If only there was a way to read from the sd card while plugged into the wall socket. I had the idea of building a cable that splits. One end is plugged into the mains, then split the cable and run a standard usb cable into it from the PC ???? Just an idea. I have tried using an Ipod wall charger with USB slot (the same output) and an external hard drive caddy cable with two USB's one into the Ipod charger and one into the PC, then the other end into the PDA. It just flashed as though it was just plugged into the PC with a data cable !!!!
Any other suggestions would be great. Its so depressingnot having my faithfull device, I even went out and bought a razr V3, while I wait to get it sorted. Deffo not the same........
I found a place in London that claims they can sort it for £29.00 plus postal & insurance costs. I'll check it out first, I have family in London who can verify the place. I suppose if they can sort it for that price, its worth posting details of the company.

I meant, the screen just flashed on and off, not flashed as in ROm flash

I posted it to London. Will post what happens.

Does this place in london has a website so may check it?

Yep, its www.turnonyourmobile.com
They are unable to fix my phone, The ROM cant be accessed to be written to ? They have suggested I call orange and see if they can do anything.

A couple of questions:
What ROM are you using?
What version of Windows is your main computer running?
Has ANYTHING changed between it working and it not? (Automatic updates, new software installed, installed drivers for a new USB device, etc)
Does the PDA recognise that it is charging/has external power?
Can you borrow a different cable\somebody else's computer to test it on?
Just as a test, try going into your settings, in the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try ticking\unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"
If the cable is broken, best thing to do is to buy a new one - its probably not worth the money to repair it (try looking on EBay - any mini-usb cable SHOULD suit the Universal)
(ps. are you sure you should be posting in here? I think you probably should have put it into the main section for Universals)

hi TehPenguin
thx for your reply
as i said before i am a total newbie and so dont know were to check wot ROM i am using.from where can i check.the fone come with WM6 installed(it does not have video calling however)
i am runnig windows xp sp2 on my pc.
when i plug in wall charger ,pda recognizes it
no mew software were installed from the time it was working(after that i installed a couple of spb programmes via bluetooth)
i tried my cable on my fiends foned and it worked,i tried my fone with my friends cable and it didnt work,that is why i am thinking it is something to do with my mini usb connector.
can some admin move this post to appropriate section or do i repost there again?
tnx again

Okay, Windows XP is a good start - and its nice to see that you did some test to figure out where exactly the bug is
I find it unusual that your phone came with WM6 already on it - unless it was second hand... You can check your windows version by going into the settings, under the "System" tab and opening "About", at the top of this it should have "Windows Mobile(R) 6 Professional" or something like that
Here are some more things to try:
Have the phone off and disconnected, then plug in the cable (this seems to work for me if I have problems)
Go into your settings, under the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"
I think that the second one is most likely the way to fix it. Also what version of ActiveSync are you running (At the top of ActiveSync there is a "Help" menu, select the "About Microsoft ActiveSync" - this should give you version info). If the activesync is anything less than version 4.5 - look for an update on Microsoft's website
And one last thing - no offence, but - one thing I don't like is people using "IM spk" for forums. I understand if you aren't fluent in English but please try...
Enjoy!

TehPenguin
thanks again for your help.
first I would like to say that i do not know what you mean by IM spk ?sorry if I broke any rules
the phone is not new,i bought it off e-bay
I am running activesync 4.5 on my pc which if i am not mistaken is the latest version available.
I will check about what version i have later,as I dont have phone with me currently,but what I can say is the version i have does not support video calling,and it does not have the Phone pad facility in the entering text options.

No harm done with the "IM spk" (its just one of the things I don't like - I'm sure you read my post on the Ultimate ROM)
Did you try any of my other suggestions?
Also, you may wish to upgrade your Universal to a new ROM (I believe that Ivan is uploading one as I type) or go to an official WM5 ROM from a manufacturer - it is possible that the ROM you are using is defective...

just to let you know
problem fixed.it was a hardware problem after all,took it to a local technician who fixed it up for me
all back to normal now
thanks for your help m8

connector broken
The connector on side of my universal appears to have come dislodged and can't charge

That's for a Wallaby. The Uni has a USB socket soldered straight to it's mobo. It depends if the damage has ripped any tracks from the mobo. It may be a straight solder replacement, or you may need to follow the tracks slightly to solder further along them. I'm sure a competent solderer would be able to help if you showed them it. Or upload a picture of the damage and we can all have a look

Possible Stupid Question. Lost USB connectivity.

Hi folks.
My Tornado (imate sp5) was flashed from factory WM5 to WM6 with VJ Grace 3.3, it worked just fine. One day I lost conenctivity via activesync over the usb cable. BT activesync still works fine. I had not done anything to the connecter port other than using USB cable to activesync occasionally, and to use the wall charger.
After 2 months of going like this, I decided to upgrade to a newer Nitrogen ROM, and I enter the bootloader mode by pressig the camera button and plugging in the usb cable. The three color screen comes just fine.
Now, when I attach the USB cable, I do not see the small writing "USB" at the lower left hand corner.
Also I cannot connect it with Terraterm pro or the RUU utility, says phone is not connected via the USB.
But my usb cable still charges the phone when connected to the PC, even though activesync doesnt do anything.
Is there anything I can do?
Can it be a hardware error? Or a registry change I might have done using smarttweaks (enable/disable charging over usb-- I dont remember). If so can it be restored or undone?
I tried hard resets (clear storage and leftsoftkey/rightsoftkey/powerbutton combinations), but still it doesnt recognise activesync.
My other windows mobile devices get connected to same pc activesync with no problem, using the same data cable. Heck I even repaired by reflashing a friend's Wizard using the same pc and cable last week.
Is it possible that my tornado's usb connector port might have gone poof (it still charges the phone), and is there any remedy to that?
Thanks for reading, and please help..
Regards,
Steve

I've got the same problem. I can't connect via AS:/

I had a similar problem once in a while when I upgraded my phone to WM6; it seemed almost random. One day, the phone wouldn't switch out of Vibrate mode, and ActiveSync wouldn't synch with the phone. The first time it happened, I had VJGrace's 3.3, and 3.4 had just come out, so I went ahead and flashed it. I didn't format binfs or anything (which, in my experience isn't necessary for a functioning OS flash, just a clean one) but it flashed a fresh WM6 on, and the problem went away.
Then, a couple weeks later, I had the same problem again. It was right around the time that VJ's 3.7 came out, so I flashed that (again without format binfs) and it fixed the problem again.
Then, a couple weeks later, I had the same problem yet again. This time, Nitro's Platinum Edition had just come out, so I flashed it. Haven't had the problem again.
Interesting note - since I got my Tornado, my first Smartphone, I have only ever done the format binfs once - the first time I flashed WM6. Haven't done it since. It's my opinion that format binfs gives you a CLEAN install of WinMobile, but is not strictly necessary.
So, to summarize: try direct-flashing a new WM6 install. Just plug in the USB cable - ignore ActiveSync when it fails to synchronize - and run the updater program. It'll take care of the rest, even if AS doesn't synch.

djsleepwalker:
If you lost USB connectivity, how did you flash your phone?
Should I read between the lines that the bootloader connected properly and that it was a WM6 driver problem?

To be totally honest, I'm not 100% certain. See, ActiveSync wouldn't SYNCH with the phone, but I could still "Explore" the phone. WM6 was active and working, and charged via USB cable, it just wouldn't synch.
So, after I connected the USB cable and ActiveSync popped up a message that said it couldn't synchronize with the phone, I just started up the ROMUpdateUtility program. It rebooted the phone into the bootloader for me.
I honestly never tried to start it back up in bootloader mode. The only reason I decided to just flash a new ROM was because I had already downloaded the ROM, but where I was at the time, I had no internet access (and therefore couldn't remember the steps before flashing the new ROM.) A friend of mine who has a Wizard (and who, I think, might be a member of this forum) suggested that I didn't *have* to format binfs to put an updated ROM on the phone, so I said screw it. I needed it out of Vibrate mode (my phone is my second alarm - my second line of defense against oversleeping) so I flashed the new ROM.
ninja edit: If ccpraveen is getting *nothing* when he connects the USB, then my suggestion probably won't help. But if Windows recognizes something being connected, and he can *explore* the phone, but ActiveSync just won't synchronize, then he's probably having the same problem I was. I can't tell for sure from reading his post.

Sweet...
Thanks for the comments, its all dejavu again
Djsleepwalker's comments did make me wonder, hey this is exactly my problem, except that mine doesnt connect in any manner.
Lots of similarities, problems started with VJ 3.3, on and off for a while with USB, then totally lost connection.
I am not concerned with formatting BINFS now, I somehow want to get the phone recognized.
Exitao has actually asked a VERY VALID query. It is indeed impossible to flash a phone without any USB connectivity (unless via an SD image or something). Djsleepwalker's issue was minimal, only that the PC was not showing up the activesync as connected, but indeed there WAS a connection, he could explore the phone from the pc etc, and I bet if he did go into the 3 color screen, he would have seen the "USB" on the left lower portion.
So, mine is just that. No connectivity. Nada. PC just sits dumb. Phone just gets charged, and finally into the fully charged green LED. Thats it.
Could there be something in VJ's ROM that is doing this?
I wonder, because a Wizard I once tried to repair would not let me flash upgrade either. I had to go back to a basic BUTTON ROM to get the upgrades running properly again. But there atleast I had connectivity then.
After I read DJ's comments, I tried running the RUU straight, without getting into the bootloader (for a change). Again its the same error 260. Here is a screenshot.
Anybody?

It seems, from the description, that the activesync profile became corrupt.
Deleting any device profiles from Activesync and connecting the phone as a new device might also solve the problem. However, it might be active synch on the phone that is the problem...
Anyone unsure how serious their problem is should just turn off the USB connect in activesync, start the phone into boot loader and do an "info 2" with terraterm pro.
If terraterm discovers the device, the USB is not the problem. It's activesynch.

Terraterm pro would not connect either.
I started the phone into bootloader by plugging in the usb while keeping the camera button pressed. Started the terraterm pro, selected Serial > USB, clicked Ok, Terraterm says ERROR, Cannot Open.
One minor thing, what do ppl normally see in their bootscreens? I see these lines, Tornado IPL 2.00 Tornado SPL 2.00.0000 and another line Tornado IU.
I dont remember seeing this third line saying Tornado IU before. Is it normal? It is in the middle zone( green coloured zone).
I believe my usb connector port might have a physical error. What else it could be. PC just will not detect ANY sort of USB connection.
Thanks again Exitao, I am stumped.
Regards
Steve

Have you tried any other USB ports on your computer? I know it's a longshot, but on my desktop PC one of the onboard USB ports just doesn't function at all. The other three do.
ninja edit: Maybe try it on another computer, too?

I tried on all four USB ports of my laptop, as well as on another Desktop PC I have.
Even without activesync installed, plugging in this should bring out a DING, saying something has been connected to the PC USB. (and asking for drivers, if Activesync was not installed. Here nothing happens, no DING). Remember, the same USB port is being used to sync my Wizard, Blackjack 2 and my old Himalaya even now.
Another possible reason, I was using a dumb chinese charger for charging the phone, after I lost the original one. Could that might have fried the usb pins?

Please excuse me if I'm stating the obvious, or if I'm a bit off, as I don't haven't used my Tornado in a bit (upgraded to Touch Cruise), but in the last ROM I used, NitroGen's latest WM6 version, there was an option in settings to disable usb connectivity and only allow USB charging. Perhaps VJ's ROM has the same option and you activated it. Have you already checked this?

Did you remeber to uncheck "Alllow USB connections" in activesync before you connected the boot-loaded phone?
This may be a hardware problem. Is it possible to use a can of compressed air to blow out any dust or debris from the USB socket on the phone?
Do you have WMStorage on your phone? If not, can you load it onto your storage card and install/run the app and see if the PC will recognise your device as a USB mass storage device?
I guess you also want to check the Device Manager in Windows and check for any exclamaition marks (!) or "bangs." Both with the phone disconnected and connected, and maybe even with wmstorage enabled. If it does show your phone in the device manager, delete or remove the device in the manager and reboot.
(To get to device manager, you can right click on "my computer" and select "properties", or press the Windows key and the Pause/Break key, or go to the control panel applet.)
BTW: is this XP?
If you are using Vista, try the following:
Step 1: Press Start
Step 2: Select settings
Step 3: Select (6) Connections
Step 4: Select (0) More
Step 5: Select (1) USB to PC
Changing the type of USB connection your device uses can help with problems
connecting ActiveSync.
Step 6: Disable the option - Enable advanced network functionality
Step 7: Press done 3 times
Step 8: Return to main screen.
Step 9: Uninstall unrecognized USB device in device manager (on PC)
Step 10: reboot Phone and reconnect

Click to collapse
If XP, keep going...
You've stated that the PC is recognising your other devices. Isn't there a limit to the number of windows mobile devices you can sync or associate with one installation of activesync? Can you delete a device and try again?
Is USB charging enabled or disabled in your phone? Try toggling the setting to opposite whatever it is.
If you are using a firewall app, add these programs to your firewall's exemptions:
# Wcesmgr.exe
# Wcescomm.exe
# Rapimgr.exe
Or simply disable any firewalls, network traffic optimisers or possibly antivirus (some have network protections) app to test if that has an effect.

Ok guys..
I will try doing all these, step by step and lets see
And accept my sincere gratitude from my heart for detailing all these info for me, I am soo deeply moved

No need for thanx. If I helped, just give Nitro a donation on my behalf.

Well guys, with deep regret, I must say, even after trying all that, the phone stays put. PC wont recognise it, neither as a phone nor as a mass storage device. The connector port must have gone kaput.
I kinda feel stupid, u know, with all the tweaks and hacks out there, what use it is, if the dumb thing wont be recognised? Hmm.. So much for the tornado, now stuck at VJ 3.3 (unless someone find a way to flash via an SD image or something).
Well, thanks guys, your support did make me feel better, in the WM world, all is not lost, as long as there are good souls like you, willing to help, live and let live.
Regards
Steve.
PS: If the phone was not recognised in the bootloader mode, (ie even before the operating system has kicked in), I guess there should not be any difference if activesync was installed or not; and if or not mass storage option is enabled or not, right? Well, correct me if I am wrong, I think so. Could be wrong.

This is probably a useless comment, but have you tried using bluetooth instead of usb to connect to your computer?

Have u tried to delete the network card from XP device manager ?
U can also disable advanced network functionnality from your smartphone in "settings" -> "connections" -> "USB to PC"
Good luck

Can You Tried Different Usb Cable :d

i have some problem, after flashing to WM6 activesync or WM5torage can't connect..i have HTC prophet too, and i use same usb cable & PC, my HTC Prophet still can connect via activesync or WM5torage
*please..please..help us

Raphael - USB Host?

I am wondering whether or not the Raphael has USB Host functionality? I read this on some internet sites, but searching the Wiki and other avaliable informative websites couldn't bring light to this issue. I know that HTCs ExtUSB only is a proprietary connector, enhancing the USB Port with audio and video functionality. This is not what I'm talking about!
Host USB allows devices to act as an USB host (like a computer) and as such access USB-Devices like harddrives or USB sticks, which is more than convinient. As some other Pocket PC have it, I'm hoping deeply my future playmate has it also.
Maybe some of the lucky users could verify?
Thanks!

Doesn't look like it'll have any host facility no. The only HTC device ive seen with host are the bigger HTC Advantage's which have a normal USB port. I dont think the Qualcomm chipset offers USB host either.

This would be a nice thing to have...
I am still owner of a PocketLoox 720 which is capable of accessing USB sticks and USB HD.

It'd be nice. But I guess it would eat the battery.
I think I saw somewhere a USB bluetooth thingy that enables you to read USB sticks via Bluetooth.

well to be precise both the diamond and raphael have some interesting host ability - in SPL you can set usb host to read NBH file off usb. however you need the right adapter cable, so I haven't tried that yet on the diamond (and no raphael yet).

mm, thought it plugged in the other port on the athena...because it also handles vga out (the 4 in 1 cable). and this other port (beside the miniusb sync port) has the icons vga out and usb host.
that is clearly not the same socket as the miniusb (i.e. the sync port).
the diamond & raphael unfortunately only have this miniusb (which is for the sync on athena).

You're right - It's been so long since I used the USB host on the Athena I'd forgotten which port it uses.
Back to the drawing board on that one I guess.

yeah, I also have the 4 in 1 somewhere in the drawer
I only got it to have all cool accessories for my Athena.
anyway, I'll update the thread if I find out more about the cable needed for diamond/raphael

I read in the Diamond service manual (foeund somewhere on the forum here) about using an USB SD-card reader on the sync port on the Diamond. It is used when servicing the phone to upload firmware and test software to the internal storage.
On the picture it looks just like a normal sd card reader that is plugged into a standard USB port on one of the ends on the cable. it is a Y cable where one end is power, one USB and one mini usb to plug in the phone.
I am just doing some tests on this now. I made a usb cable with mini usb in one end and normal usb in the other end. On the on ememstick I have here in the office nothing happens.I will continue to look into this matter.

holy moses. I got something working here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to rebuild my cable a little bit here to get this working.
The new external USB port is now powered from a 5Volts source. I have cut the 5 volts connection between my Diamond and my USB memory.
I am using a standard USB flash memory which i got at some commercial stuff long time ago.
I formatted the USB stick to FAT32 on my computer first.
The thing I tried was:
downloade a custom firmware.
copied the xxx.nbh file to the flash
renamed it to "DIAMIMG.NBH" Capital letters!!
Started up the phone holding VOLUME DOWN and RIGHT button down while giving the power button a short push.
It fired up the Olimex boot scene and asked me to push power button to confirm flashing.
After that it flashed my phone for about 10 minutes (from the USB flash memory)
So there is NO DOUBT, the Diamond has USB master capabilities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I am in file explorer I still can't get in contact with the memory.
Anyone that has the USB drivers from som larger HTC device????
Can anyone try to flash a phone with an un signed firmware or a firmware from wrong region on a phone that has the original bootloader using this method?

Does anyone know how to use external memory by usb hosting

heh, you were faster at building the cable congrats.
btw, what special modifications did you need to make? just the 5V source?
anyway, this just confirms what i found in bootloader disassembly then.
not sure on the availability of usb host drivers. maybe we will need to implement it ourselves
and sorry, but i do not understand the question about flashing unsigned stuff. the stock bootloader will not accept unsigned NBH, no matter where it comes from, sorry to disappoint you.
EDIT: I downloaded the service manual now, thanks. wasn't aware this was out in the open
anyway, the text mentions you must plug in AC power for the USB host. what a shame.

Just an idea, have you tried to start WM5torage on Diamond ?
It lists the MovieNAND and the system partition. OK, you can't take access to it, but maybe WM5torage recognizes the USB stick from OS.
If it does, maybe a modified version of WM5torage can do these job ?
For short test download here:
WM5torage
Ok, WM5torage isn't the right way to test the access from OS, because it needs at last a running driver.
Qualcomm was running Oxford Semiconductor solutions, maybe the integrated USB OTG is a license from this company ?
@cmonex:
Is it possible to adapt the integrated bootloader driver to WM ?

USB drive is HTC supported

Your PC will only connect to the device’s storage card. When you access your

To easily carry media and other files with you, you can use your device’s storage
card as a USB flash drive. Touch Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB to PC
and then select Disk Drive mode. This allows you to copy files from your computer
to the device’s storage card and vice versa faster.
Note You need to have a storage card installed on your device to be able to use your device
as a disk drive.
When Disk Drive mode is used:
You will not be able to use your device to access files from the storage card

is this just a wrong setting in the register maybe, or could my usb port be broken?

what rom can i use fore this?

possible problems
1: Port is clogged with dirt.
This sometimes happens if u usee the phone continually in a dusty environment. Clean the phone and use again
2: Is Activesync Installed?
Check if activesync is installed in XP. It contains the drivers for your phone.
3: try plugging the USB to another port of your computer. This happened to me in my previous computer. One of the ports was damaged, but the phone was detected successfully in another port
