Serial v1.02 screen

[bruceeanderson]

I tried to do a firmware upgrade (HA_VZW_207_117_01167_A12.exe from Verizon) on my BA using ActiveSync 4.5 from a Vista Ultimate workstation. The upgrade process stopped and now I have dim screen with the word "Serial" at the top and "v1.02" at the bottom. The BA does not respond to any buttons, hard resets, battery removal, etc. What did I do, can it be fixed, and how do I do it? Thanks for any insights and help.

I should have added this:
I have tried holding Power + Record + stylus in Reset hole, but when I do, the screen display does not change, still Serial v1.02.
I get the "bedunk" sound when I put the BA in the cradle but no light on the BA indicating that it is charging and no indication in ActiveSync that the BA is connected.
When I run the upgrade firmware program, I get a Error 101: Connection error.

Just got everything to work on an XP workstation. Maybe it is a Vista problem thing.

Verizon should have posted an instruction how to upgrade under Vista environment...try searching their forum. It has to be somewhere!

The same thing happened to me when I tried to upgrade my phone to WM6. What I did was to restart everything and resume upgrading. Hope this help.

I had same problem, and I solved it applying original rom update for appropriate device.
Using other rom updates it was giving errors or it was not working at all.

My PDA is Blue Angel - QTek 9090 and I used BA_WWE_14000_147_11200_Ship.exe
Now is everything working :p

Hope it will help you, too ;)
