WM5 upgrade in bootloader mode doesn't work

[marcjero]

Hello,

I tried to upgrade my SPV M1000 to WM5. I followed the procedure and ran the device in bootloader mode. I put the device on the cradle and it displayed USB and V1.06. Ok sounded good.:)

I started then the HimaUpgradeUt.exe program on the PC. The problem is HimaUpgradeUt.exe didn't find the mobile device at all. After maybe 1 minute looking to it displayed an error 101 message. :mad:

I tried different things : install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5 (no change)
I tried to connect the device with mty and it worked !
I tried to run HimaUpgradeUt.exe with the SPV running WM2003 and it found the device. I didn't try to upgrade in this mode anyway.

Any help is very welcome.

is your machine with win vista also?
as you said that you tryed to install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5, guess its WinXP. if its 2000/WinXP/win2003 then use only 4.2 version of ActiveSync. don't know why but i can only have sucess with that version. check for any security software that may block COM. with ActiveSync-Pocketpc.
that HimaUpgradeUt.exe you use is for your model? as im not an expert on this matter, don't know if your precise phone is a himalaya, maybe thats the prob. ehehhe then maybe not as im not aware of all the brands this peace of tech can became!
do right click on my computer and select manage, goto device manager and see for a mobile entry there, while your pocket is connected in serial/usb boot mode. there must be a windows ce device there for this to happen, and you should, not a must, but try to shut activesynch down while doing this detection with HimaUpgradeUt

Yes I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2. I installed activesync 4.2 again and disabled the firewall. I can see windows detecting the device when I put it on the cradle. But there is still the 101 error message when I try to run the update.

Firstly thanks to marcjero for guiding me to this thread...
secondly... I had no probs at all, syncing my device with vista's WMDC(Windows mobile device center), apparently I tried to flash my device... and yes its an i-mate XDA II, currently running on C_ShekharAKU3.5.R40.P24_public_ROM and want to update to the latest one... apparently, connected my device to my system in bootloader mode... and well since then my system has a prob detecting my device... and I cannot even sync now... when i try to run HimaUpgrade, get the same 101 error code... :-(

any ideas how to get this thing working again?

PS: its seriously frustrating for me :-P

use the "HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe " instead the "HimaUpgradeUt.exe"

download it HERE! (http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=68&func=select&id=30)

install the latest Active Sync...version 4.5

Syncing in Vista is no problem but as i said from other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307754)...i tried but not working...you cannot flash the device except in winxp...

Regards!

The prob is that now a normal sync does not work either... so I cannot synchronize my device with my system at all :-(, any ideas at all... on how to get it to work?

I tried both (as 4.5) and HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe without any success.

what OS you are using while flashing and synching? xp? vista?
