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!

Karhoe,
Let me congratulate you on this fine guide. However, you might want to put in some edits (since this guide is focussed more towards noobs):
The process is entirely possible in Windows Vista as well. I upgraded my phone multiple times to different builds on a Vista system without any problems. You need to follow this guide
Step 1) Please add QTEK 8300 and Imate SP5m to the list of Torando devices.
Step 2) Please add WMDC for Windows Vista users so that some noob user doesnt try to install AS 4.5 on Windows Vista.
I agree though that SPV-services wont run on Windows Vista. Overall, a fantastic guide ! Great job !

Hello

I am running vista not xp if that helps.
Cheers

It runs perfectly on XP, you will have difficulty using Vista, first of all, Super CID can only be performed on an XP system
Seems I have problems on step 9. I see bootloader skin and activate usb connection but it doesn't sync! the phone is not visible. help
no problem. i turned the phone off and turn it onholding the camera button. now the process in step 10 starts!
Hi,
I get that Tera Term error msg as well. "Cannot open @£$€" (USB). Running Vista. My phone is already SuperCID.
When connecting the USB (and entering bootloader-mode), Vista tries to install drivers for the device but cannot find them, maybe that's the problem?
Any clues?
/E
Maybe it doesn't work that well in Vista as I have said.
Try to do it on an XP system
I've passed 8 steps without a single error, enabled ActiveSync USB connection, but ActiveSync doesn't recognize my device whatever I do, unlike Katik wrote 2 posts above!!!
Now I just see the boot screen, with "USB" letters on the bottom if I plug in the USB cable.
Several times I tried to disable ActiveSync USB and run ttermpro.exe -- "info 2" works OK, but no luck after I enable it again.
Please tell me how can I establish ActiveSync connection??
The reverse process of disabling the USB connection
What process? I just check/uncheck "allow USB connection" in ActiveSync, do I have to do something else after I made "format BINFS", typed "ResetDevice" and enabled USB in ActiveSync??
I tried to connect/disconnect the cable, turn the defice on/off (pressing the Camera key or not), nothing helps so far...
Had no luck under XP after some tussle and reinstallation of ActiveSync, but finally succeeded under Vista...
(http://www.modaco.com/RUU-Vista-done-u-t252977.html).
Kinda exciting experience I must say.
The ROM is cool!
Congratz, welcome to the club
I can not for the life of me get this working!
Tried unlocking the C600 I bought off eBay both via the official Orange Developers thing (My IMEI is not recognised) and using the SDA Unlocker tool.
This says that my phone is not unlockable.
Anyone got any ideas?
Help! Please?!
Thanks for the Guide
While not a computer noob, I am hardly an expert with the ins and outs of my SDA.
Your guide was exactly what was needed to make the move to WM6. I ran into the same problems listed here - stuck in bootloader after the ResetDevice, but managed to get past it.
Thanks for taking the time.
I wanted to thank you for the guide. I've been waiting for a WM6 update since it was announced. I finally did it yesterday, and got it running on my SDA.
Step 13 - If you are using Dopod 577w, Qtek 8310, Orange SPV C600, I-mate SP5, you need to install this file to enable Contacts and Messaging button. If you are using Dopod 586w or Imate SP5M, you need to install this file
i want to download for i mate sp5m but i will not download can anyone is help me?
I think I know why, try this, right click and save target as, instead of clicking on it

You can upgrade from bl mode with a sd card using that method to do it. Search in forum and you'll find it. Good luck!
Windows XP is much better to upgrade with (as well as being a much better OS full stop )
There is plenty of info in the wiki about upgrading from Vista however,
Though if all else fails you could always borrow someone's XP machine to revive your phone.
Good luck!
I'm trying to flash WM6.1.After formating BINFS i cant connect activesync with the phone!I have this issue long time ago from the precedent ROM "nitrogens v5 greek"
I use Vista on my pc.
Is there any way that i can flash the new rom without enabling the activesync or i'm i going to sent my phone to the trashcan?
P.S I've posted the same thing in "WM6.1 Clean 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) Eval" but i thing it's better here.
Thanks in advance!
You should check out Karhoe's WM6 installation guide it posted on the tornado start page. I think he said that you have to use some thing else instead of Activesync when using windows vista.
I pluged the phone on xp system anf it didnt connect, just like my vista.When i searched the phone i found that the USB Switch was set on RNDIS(I dont know what does this means?).When i changed it the activesync start synchronizing.I'l try it on my vista system at this evening to see if it's working.
Sorry about my n00b question but i never searched it..
Anyway everybody is so helpful in this forum!

incorrect....you need to download Windows XP mode from Microsoft online(search it on google) then run the installler, etc... then run Windows XP mode, plug in your phone through USB and in the top corner of the Windows XP mode under the USB tab click attach "wizard usb serial" or whatever is the appropriate name.Hope that helps!!!
Nope, when RUU starts to do the upgrade, Conection fails on Windows XP mode, axactly the same on Win7. The solution? Good old fashioned Win XP.

When i used xp mode i found that in order to have a successful flash you must hard reset your phone before you flash, mount the device with the RUU running from the desktop, and once the RUU begins you must remount your device once it gos into the boot screen(it shows up as unidentified...but its the one highest up in the list)then your device will do its thing and then you magically have a new ROM! Hope this helps, and yes obviously Windows XP is a better solution but the thread is updating a ROM on Windows 7...
OK, i got it... im downgrading my PC to Windows XP SP3...
Thanks guys
no need to downgrade OS, use vmware to install XP inside it

When your Wizard is starting up, there comes a screen with in the left up corner some info like CID etc. When your Wizard is CID unlocked, then there behind CID x.xx.olip.
I know that it works with a g4 version of the wizard. Look around for more info
Edit: This is only when you succesfully installed Hardspl
I just flashed a rom on my p3300 yesterday and I did it on Windows 7 ultimate.. For me it was working just like that..
Today I will try my fathers Wizard on it
**edit**
No luck on Windows 7 installing WM6.5 on the wizard..
I installed XP on VMware and that worked for me..
Used activesync 4.5 on it.. Installed the CR96 WM6.5 of Cracing
Works like a charm!!
So yeah... Install VMware, that will be the best way to flash your Wizard.
Holla!
