XDA II Stuck On Bootloader

[Clontarf[X]]

Hi All,

Yes I searched, could not find a helpful post that I could understand (unfortunately a lot of not-so-good english on these forums!).

I used the file 'windowsmobile2003se.exe' here;

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=230279

It started loading fine, then when it came up with the progress bar to start updating, my device rebooted and is now stuck in bootloader.

When I try himaupgradeut.exe, it gives me a ERROR 101: Connection Error. USB is disabled in ActiveSync and I can see the device as "Microsoft USB Sync".

The USB still works (I can use mtty and xda2unlock in Windows XP and they both work fine). Is the device still recoverable?

I have hard reset (Power + Reset), removed and re-inserted battery and tried a normal reset, none of these work.

Can I please have some step-by-step instructions on how to recover the phone? The bootloader version is 1.06

Thanks.

Have you tryed leaving the battery out for 1 day or over night. Because that fixed some problems for me.

Yeah I've left the battery out overnight (about 12 hours to make sure the backup battery ran flat). It's still stuck on the boatloader.

It's just got the normal bootloader screen (Serial up top and 1.06 down the bottom) and this changes to USB when in the cradle, so the device seems to be fine.

Any ideas?

Hi All,

I have made a script that people can use to easily flash their Himalaya without performing all the above steps manually.

My extreme and eternal thanks go to utak3r (from BuzzDev), xda-developers.com and buzzdev.net for building such great communities and for providing so much help and information (even if it is a little hard to follow sometimes!).

You can download it from;

http://members.iinet.net.au/~nomicakes/MakeSDBoot.zip
http://www.clonnyserver.com/uploads/tools/himalaya/MakeSDBoot.zip

The zip file contains the script and the tools neccesary to do this.

As above, if you aren't familar with flashing devices and the possible outcomes, DO NOT USE THIS TOOL.

Hi there,

Yesterday I tried to upgrade my Qtek 2020 to the last rom available but something went wrong and now my PPC only shows the bootloader screen.

After hours of researching on Google I found this forum and this topic. I tried to do what is in utak3r tutorial but I can't connect to my PPC using mtty (usb port can't open) and I don't know why. :\

When I try himaupgradeut.exe, it gives me a ERROR 101: Connection Error too...

And finally when I run this script made by Clontarf it fails on the last step on writing to the SD card. It gives me a Error - Access Denied.

I don't know how to solve this. Would you please help me? :(

Problem solved!
