IMATE JAM not booting up

[ranjanrishi]

My iMate JAM was going perfectly fine, it also had the latest WWE ROM, no issues. Now for some reason, I download from www.pocketgear.com and install the trial version of "Pocket Mechanic" which also installs "Pocket Hack Master 2005". While trying out "Pocket Hack Master 2005" which is a software to test the CPU speeds, as soon as I run this program, the screen freezes and my phone is dead. I try and reboot the device, but it is stuck at the blue boot-up screen, which just shows the POM versions.
Anyways, now, I decide to re-install the WWE 1.12 ROM and start using the device. But, no luck, on the PPC - the blue boot-up screen does not go away and on the installer screen - "Checking information on your device... Please wait...." and is stuck.

I think the device is not booting up and hence is being not recognised by the PC as a USB device.

Please help... I am dead...!!!!

did you try the standard hard reset?

I am sure you do NOT need to re-install the ROM.

If crucial Registry entries are deleted by accident the Operating System (i.e. the "RAM part" of it) might not boot anymore, but the ROM itself is not compromised.
Also Hack should only manipulate the registry and the Operating System on a software/RAM level. I cannot imagine that it would alter or destroy the ROM itself or the Bootloader.

Did you also try to "hard-reset" by pressing+holding power button while pressing the soft-reset-button-in-hole for a few seconds ?

This completely resets the device to the "factory default" (of the current ROM version) where you need to calibrate the screen again like after the very first power-up....you also lose all data and installed programs in the device, but I guess that is the least of your concerns now....
