no not really
unless you got access to another phone of the same type
and can make a sd card with a rom on from that

[Rudegar]

no as far as i can read from the thread a himalaya and cable is required


sounds like your hp is in bootloader i would read the manual about how to reset it to boot up normaly
and if the os is damaged how to flash it with a new rom if there are roms for that hp device

[vedder25]

WHY my hima doesnt show usb at the screen?? and my pc showing there are unknown device??? how to solve it?? im in deep problem right now, i just bought the usb cable to my ppc.. any driver to it?

[vedder25]

Now My Hima Has Been Bricked Theres No Rom To Be Reload.. And My Hima Cannot Sync With The Pc.. Im Doomed....:(

[Jadel]

If you haven't even flashed your rom yet, there is absolutely no good reason why your device should be bricked. What is it currently doing at the moment?
What is showing on your XDAII's screen?

[vedder25]

my xda ii just showing SERIAL and v 1.03.... ill have try to reboot again but theres nothing happen. the serial blinking but still in the bootloader mode. how can i cooked my device? my pc also didnt detect my hima...

[Jadel]

It isn't bricked then, not even close. So don't worry about that yet :)
Simply plug it in to your computer with your cable, don't expect it to recognise what it is. And make sure you have ActiveSync turned off on your computer (if you have it installed which you may not).

Next, leave it a minute or two connected. Then, unzip the rom you downloaded somewhere on your computer, and then run the .exe in the unzipped folder. It may be called HimaUpgradeTool or something similar. It should eventually say it found your phone, and usually it has no idea what rom is currently installed. Then simply press the install button. It should show updating on your computer screen (it generally takes over an hour), and some fancy stuff may happen on your PDA screen.
Once it says it is completed (on your computer screen), unplug your device and Hard Reset using soft reset, Dpad, Camera and Record.

Select the options as follows: (for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)

Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES

Your phone should reboot, and all will be well in world.

i think that i found what is my problem. i think that my usb cable is faulty because of my computer detect the usb then it shown unrecognised device. then i run the hima upgrade but it shows that there are no device attach. but my battery was heat like it was charging. ill try to change the cable first then ill try it again.

[vedder25]

thanks all... my problem was being settle. now i know my problem is.. when i change the cradle i can upgrade my hima. thanks again.
