After failure, keep Universal connected to PC (with weak visible USB screen) and just retry to flash after soft reset of Universal. Use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in flash directory on PC to start. I sometimes have to restart MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe if no luck with flashing and to reflash radio only if Universal is stuck after flash. Good luck. NB. I flashed my MDA Pro succesfully this night after several retries and it is faster, better now.

I run in the same problem, the procedure bellow help me to solve the problem ...
1. Make sure your i-mate™ device is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummie card or SD/MMC card
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File > Connection Settings > Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. Reconnect your i-mate device to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Don’t use the IrDA or Bluetooth for the Upgrade)
4. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
Fingers crossed to work with you as well..

I had same problems but i found solutions:
after update the all three files of rom install one more time radio.nbf only. pAfter that reset device by stylus wth pushing Power button.
Device is working.
Sorry for my stuped english

The PC wont even connect and cant get the bootloader to come up so it is completly dead, so will have to send back to HTC, most likly take them 5 mins to do
before sending back try this:
-disconnect USB cable
-disable USB connection in desktop ActiveSync
-connect USB cable
-start mtty (download here)
-create new connection and select USB from ports
press enter to see USB prompt in mtty:
USB>
type (dont copy&paste):
set 14 0
and press enter
then reboot Universal.
it should boot normally.
buzz (of course HIM)

Have you tried the various ways to reboot the universal?
Like holding down the two white dashes on the top of the keypad, while pressing the reset button?
Just a thought, but somewhere here is at least three different ways to wake up the JasJar. And reset plus power is not one of them. Note don't expect to get a screen light anymore. Any way that you might have access to a charge battery? If you allow the battery to fully discharge it can be hard to restart the charging process, your battery might just be uncharged.

The battery was fully charged when it died, and i have tried all the ways said on the forum to get it to wake up again, i think it was the error i got when it was flashing the rom and stoped half way through

Hi all, after changing battery on my MDA Pro it died.
Rebbot it's impossble, I tried all.
When I connect USB cable to pc don't recognize device.
If I connect it without battery the signal led light red end if i put the battery switch off.
What's happens?

Ti ringrazio ma ho provato di tutto di più..è proprio morto..
Certo devo dire che è l'acquisto più sbagliato che abbia mai fatto.
Uno strumento davvero inutile..
Lo spedirò in assistenza..speriamo bene..
Ciao e grazie comunque..
