Hello everybody!!!
I need help with my Himalaya... Tried to upgrade it to WM5, successful for a while but after a soft reset, it wont boot up properly. It stays stuck on the Windows Mobile boot screen, with both the bluetooth and power/signal light turning on/off alternately. Hard resetting it does not help, the same symptoms are still happening. I had to reinstall the WM5 ROM several times but the same problem now occurs everytime I have to soft reset the unit. I had to downgrade to wm2003, ROM 1.72.00WWE, Radio v1.17.00, extROM v1.72.181.
Can anybody help me on this? Thanks!
how is it possible to update from wm2003 to wm2005?

After upgrade, ensure you clear registry and format the storage. You may try to redo this by following the instructions in the last part of the installation document, as pasted below:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

Also be aware that many backup software can corrupt an installation after recovery, even those that have a "Upgrade or Migration" feature. It is best to use PPCBckpContacts to restore your contacts and to use SMS BackupSoftware for your sms's, both can be found on this forum and both use standard databases instead of proprietary formats that could corrupt the WM5 databases.
on topic: i will have to bookmark this page in case i get the same problem when i upgrade

Hi
Tried installing the HTC 6.1 Rom RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.03.405.0_radio_sign_25.70.40.02_1.64.06.04
on my TyTn II from Vista and XP but i still get the same Connection Error.
Can somebody help with this
Thanks
Need More Info
We need more info to properly troubleshoot...
Make of phone (TyTn II, Tilt, Vario III, etc)
If you are trying to use this rom on anything other than an unbranded HTC TyTn II, then it will not work unless you have used HardSPL to remove carrier branding first.
Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282 for more info.
260 errors are usually related to USB port access. If you are using McCafee or Firewall software, you will have problems unless you disable or gifve full access.
Again, to quote NotATreo, more info will help, but consider temporarily disabling firewall or virus software.
Thanks guys
Its the HTC TyTn II and the rom im trying to flash is the 1 released by HTC so i assume its the other problem, yes iam running mcafee firewall, ill disable that and try flashing.
thanks a lot

I was able to flash while running the mcafee, but I still can't connect to the internet after flashing the Hard SPL and the radio
Have you try using SD card to flash?
just renamr file "RUU_signed.nbh" to "KAISIMG.nbh" and place the file in your Micro SD card.
Power on the phone and enter bootloader mode by press "power botton" + "camera botton" and using stylus to reset the device. It will auto start reflashing the ROM. It only takes 1min to 2min.
Tried the mcafee thing but then it gave me the Vendor ID Error
Basically there is no way around except for flashing the Hard SPL and removing the vendor thingy.
Not sure if i want to do that cause that will void the warrenty.
Tanks so much guys
Well, technically you are but they don't know it untill you make it noticable and there are ways to make it back to OEM.

Just flash while you are in bootloader screen (tri-color)
Tried putting in bootloader mode and flashing but the same Vendor ID Error, dont have a choice but to Flash the Bootloader. Dont want to do that cause had a Problem with my previous Imate phone, the service center guys checked that 1st.
thanks
well... When I purchase a new phone, I never think about returning it unless DOA. When I flash my Tilt and iPhone, there is no turning point. Oh well, I change a new phone almost every year......Currently wait on my new N96

I would try plugging your cable into a different usb port and giving it another try- this has worked for me so far. Good luck
i know it may sound weird but the clock on my imate jama has stopped working and since it got stuck, i cannot use the power button to turn the device on. However the power button does work while the device is turned on and i can turn it off as well. I have tried soft and hard reset. Please help me out this problem since its warranty expired last month. Does it have like a backup battery cell that needs to be replaced? or is it like a software problem...BTW im running windows mobile 6 on it which i got upgraded from the vendor while it was in warranty...................
Please help...
Wierd, is the clock stuck on a certain time? Are you sure your hard reset was sucussful?
If it definately did a hard reset, i would recomend flashing a cooked rom, or flashing an official wm6 rom.
Use the wiki or relevant forum to see what suits you best.
thanks for replying...yes the clock is stuck at whatever time i either manually change or the time of the last sync with the pc...I dont have any experience with flashing roms but i have found one rom, i guess the only one there is on the net for this device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-393307.html). i couldn't find wiki for imata jama. please help me find the wiki and let me know if there is another rom for this device that i can flash it with aswell...
if i flash the wm6 rom on my jama would it flash since i already have wm6 installed? and i also found a wm6.5 rom.. it has some issues and incase i wana go back to wm6 would it be possible as well? please help me out with this...........
hey the 6.5 rom was here as u probably know ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492981&page=3 but seems buggy as you say. You'll have to look on imate website to see if you can download original wm6.0 for your phone as i cant see it on here.
I dont know if you can flash magician roms to ur fone, they are similar hardware and lots of threads asking about jama end up in magician? i dont know....
id stick with 6.0 if you cant find anything else.
Thanks so much marsh for ur help... imate has the worst customer support ive come across therefore i'm planning to switch to htc.. i have done some extensive research and found that the 6.5 rom on that chinese site is being constantly updated with new versions coming out every now and then..and the good news is that im downloading a stable version of WM6.1 for me imate as i type.. I will post it at here at xda after i successfully flash it...
fingers crossed
Well the 6.1 rom turned out to be in chinese so i had no choice but to flash the Wm 6.5..It looks very good but none of the buttons work and i cant view messages or send them. Also it does not connect to the pc using using active sync but shows that some storage device has been connected to pc and no proper drivers found for it. One good thing happended though, i came to know what the problem with the clock could be...Wm 6.5 showed on startup that my back up battery is very low and that i need to replace it..I'll get it replaced from the service center now....But im looking for a WM 6.1 english rom.... Can any body help me find it please?
Hello everyone, I'm having a huge trouble at playing java games on my S710. All games works with no sound. No matter the instalation file, when I install any game, sound is never played. Can anyone help me? I've tried a lot of Esmertec JBed versions, tried Hard Reset by software, but the problem remains. Please help me, I really use java apps.
Thanks
i too had the same problem for quite long. Everytime i did a hard reset, i restored the whole data and tried java but the sound never came back.
but later i figured out that is was because of Q9 real player media files plugin. I uninstalled it and java had sound again.
in your case also it might be because of some third party software. u can try uninstalling softwares one by one and checking java after each uninstall. Hope it works!
Man, I think you're right. Sometimes, when Windows Media is in use, the apps sound comes back. But How would i Uninstall Windows Media Player? Can it be done?
no its not the media player, it is some third party codec such as q8 which i used to play rm files in my phone! have u installed any of such codec?
No, didn't installed any other codecs. The only program unusuall installed is Adobe FlashLite, and other modifications are only Windows Live Messenger and Office Update.
try a hard reset and install a java game, without installing any other software. I think u will get sound then. BTW which rom do u use?
My phone stills with it's original ROM. I'm afraid off doing something wrong while trying to update it. But I'm thinking about updating it for Windows Mobile 6.1, can you recomend me any Rom?
The Rom Installed is Windows CE, Version 5.20 (Compilation 1238)
if u want to update, u can update the 6.1 by Dr. Gonzo or any of the 6.5, either FM's or FB's. but first of all u should backup all your data and read this thread. It has all flashing instructions contained in it.
and one more thing after successfully flashing your rom and before installing any other software, try installimg a java game, i think u will get game sound back!!!
GL!

Also make sure Vox is not SIM locked (i.e. locked to a specific carrier). But if you hard reset your device, nothing can go wrong (possibly ), but do it only after a full charge .
My phone is SimLocked, is this a problem?

Yes, if your phone is sim locked then, in order to upgrade to an unofficial ROM, you will have to buy an unlock code from jockeyw after the upgrade. Everyone here with sim locked phones have to do the same. Once you have bought an unlock code , you will never have to buy it again. You more info u can click here

simlocking - or any other locking method has nothing to do with our problem -
perhaps this java game(s) ar designed for nokia ? or PC but not for wm ?

simlocked phone will only refuse sims from other operators but has nothing to do with games or flashing anyone rom posted here

m32 is correct. simlocked phone will only refuse sims from other operators. But still if you flash you will have to get your phone sim unlocked!
And if you read and follow the instructions carefully, then there is nothing to be afraid of flashing.
Well, I tryed to sim unlock my Vox, but now I have another huge problem. I went to my phone operator(TIM Brazil) but my phone could not be unlocked cause it's previous owner inserted more then 7 wrong unlock codes, now I have to send my phone for HTC Assistance =/.
is your phone covered in warranty? If yes, then i think you should give your phone to them. So far i have seen that HTC have best customer support regardless of what the problem is. U can also contact jockeyw first, he might help you with the problem. I cant suggest much with regard to 'sim locking' since i dont have a sim-locked device!
Hey all, I had TTN7 on my imate Ultimate 9502 before I hard reset it and it was running fine..
Now when I try to install it I get the waiting animation for a while then it says it was unsuccessful.. The first time I tried it asked if it was safe to install it but now it just goes straight to unsuccessful..
Anyone know why this is? GPS nav is sort of important for me..
Perhaps here you´ll find it easily

I don't think it's an i-mate specific problem.. It seems to be a WM problem..
