Big problem

Hi
I am new here and i have problem
When i turn on my qtek9000, i recieve message Serial V.100.
If i connect USB cable it displays USB instead of Serial.
This happened when i tried to do radio upgrade (through usb hub, sim and sd were also in phone...).
I have 1gb SD card and also card reader mounted in laptop, so transfering files should not be problem.
Can someone help me with step-by-step procedure how to make my qtek work back. I used a lot of search but i am even more confused....
I just remember that when qtek worked Radio was something like 1.0.3.1 and also WWE was writen somewhere....
Probably i should put rom to sd with ntrw (which wersion of both),.......
please help....

might be a dumb question on my part - but have you tried a reset (initially a soft one but then a hard one of course, if nothing else works...) ???
I mean you will at least be able to revert back to the condition 'out of the package'...
Hope everything works out!

jup.both things NOT HELPED

looks like you're stuck in the bootloader mode....
try flashing the rom & the radio rom once again by connecting it to your laptop's usb...
i guess something screwed up while you were upgraging your radio rom...and you'd need to redo it!
Best,
San

can you please write me a procedure?

You might want to check the following thread. Everything is well described.
Cheers

I have solved problem with Radio upgrade. I am in much better mood now. 8)
Anyway i have 4 more questions.
1.) I am using bluetooth car-instalation Parrot CK3100. I am wondering if is possible to transfer any other sound except telephone conversations to that device. When i had Nokia 9500 i was able to hear every single click,tone,...i made on phone also on car-instalation. I also heard nokia ringtone in car instalation.With qtek i am getting generic car-instalation ringing tone instead of phone ringing. Otherwise primary intention (hands free talking) works fine. I would like to have that to be able to hear voices from various GPS software.
2.) Since QTEK9000 is PDA and phone in single unit I would like to have in car GPS application "always on top". Like previously mentioned i can easily manage my calls with car-instalation. Therefore i would like to run Phone section in background or GPS applications on top.I hope you will understand what i would like to say
3.) I also need in-car holder for qtek. Do you have any reccomendations?
4.)
My settings:
R: 1.04.02
G: 42.37.P8
D: 1.13.64.WWE
Is that ok or should i upgrade?

Stuck in bootloader mode
Hi guys,
Got stuck in bootloader mode following an upgrade attempt. Tried to reflash radio using the files from the pload folder only to get an error saying it's for the wrong device - tried this several times with the same result.
any ideas?
Is there a binary and a tool I can just do a straight upload?
thanks

try it with this file -
1. put radio.nbf and the file attached below in the same folder and run the exe with ur device connected to usb in bootloader mode...
2. hope it flashes it

Thanks DreamTheater
Thanks for your help - unfortunately I got the same message, ie this rom is not meant for this device etc...
Will see O2 can do anything (who's that laughing...???) - was going to buy a new xda mini anyway...!

1. REMOVE your SD/MMC card.
2. Soft/hard reset.
3. Run the upgarde again.
Step 1 above solved my problem.

Card Export 2.15 Works! (at least for Mac users!)

Softick released Card Export 2.15 today and recommended I try it. Sure enough, it works, even on my Mac! There is a catch however, you must enable the following option in Preferences -> Hardware:
- Use Dumb Endpoint
(Alt Init Order may also help if you're having issues, but on my Mac it made no difference either way)
I have attached the .cab since it seems only an exe is available on the website, this should be useful for other Mac users without VirtualPC.
Enjoy!

Nope, doesnt work with my T-Mobile MDA Vario with latest Qtek ROM.
Same problem as v2.12, it hangs when you get the balloon with 'Found new USB device'. I used an Acer Travelmate laptop with Windows XP Pro with latest patches.

Thanks mate...
Works like a dream, solved part of my mac/WM5 problems, now sync to entourage is the only one left...
Do not suppose you got a wondersolution to that Sprezzatura
I mean MissingSync and PocketMac does not yet.
Thanks again for the tip off...

I had the same issue until i read a post on the Softick forum. Softick support and another user suggested enabling a combination of "Alt init order" and "Use dumb endpoint" in Card Export Preferences (Hardware tab) as with what sprezzatura posted above.
Now i can use the software perfectly and can swap to / from ActiveSync & Card Export with no problems and no soft resets are required (except for the mandatory reset immediately after installing Card Export)
Goto: http://softick-forum.com/index.php to read what others have said.
Thanks sprezzatura for the heads up that they released the new version.
Cheers,
Chris
p.s. I have tested this and it works for me on every Dell, Toshiba & Clone PC / Laptop i have.

Wicked **** !!
v2.15 works perfect with those 2 settings. Great stuff !!

WM5torage problem - please help!

Many apologies if a solution to this has already been posted - if it has could someone lead me in the right direction?
My problem is with transfering large files to the Ameo's Microdrive. Activesync is too slow and wont transfer large files. I have tried two different versions of wm5torage, each time installing correctly and soft resetting. I am able to connect to my computer as a mass storage device without a hitch, and all files etc show up. The problem is that when i try to move, say a DivX onto the Microdrive after about 30 seconds I receive the message: "canot copy .....: cannot find the specified file. make sure you specify the correct path and file name"
Please can someone help me with this as it's ever-so-slightly doing my head in.
Many thanks
p.s. if it's any use i've tried this with both wm5 AND 6 with the same disappointing result

wm5torage works like a charge just dl on modaco forum then run it, your pc will see your ameo like a usbstick .

yes it is off modaco and it does connect like a usb stick; its just that it doesnt maintain this connection during file transfer and gives the error mentioned above

Hi Leon.
What version are you running? Try this one if you're not already running it.
If all else fails...and this is cumbersome, but works everytime....use SafeMode Advanced and use it at boot time...no other drivers will be loaded and no conflicts.. It will def work then. After transferring your files, soft-reset to go back into standard WM5/6.
Let us know how you got on.

When I try with version 1.75 it is unreliable and often produces the error message you see. It may be luck but I've not had problems with 1.73. I disconnect the USB cable first before running, activate the software, then reconnect the cable.
When it does go wrong my Microdrive file table corrupts, also the Ameo hangs on the rainbow-wheel. I soft reset. Once I get it working I get errors if I need to copy the same file again. To fix this, I open WM5torage and run Check Disk on the Microdrive from my PC.

what you need to do is go to settings and the connections tab and turn off the advanced network functionality in "USB to PC". then use WM5torage.

I've tried unchecking "advanced network functionality" but to no avail. I've tried uninstalling activsync, and I've even tried it on a pc which has NEVER had Activsync on it - all with the same disappointing result.
Invariably WM5torage crashes and is 'unkillable' (if that's a word!) via Running Programs. Whatever I do it just crashes when I try to deactivate it.
I tried a hard reset of the device AND microdrive prior to installing Wm6 and THIS didn't work either. I've also tried the WM5torage cab posted in this thread by mackaby007. No luck.
I've tried Softkey Card Export ii as well and that just keeps reconnecting to activesync before windows even gets chance to recognise it as a mass storage device.
I think I've ran out of ideas.....

Just tried it with WM5torage 1.72 and that seems to be working fine.
Just transferred a 700mb file without hitch.
Wonder what the problem was with 1.75

try out card export 3.0
i heard this is a god sofwtare

I tried to see what could be wrong
I installed Card Export II but it would not ran and complains of missing dll's, but WM5torage 1.73 worked instantly. I have just transfered 3.5 Gb of music and some clips to test it. No problems yet and transfer took about 20 mins.
Could your problem be caused by installed software? Will have a look at Card Export 3 (never heard of it, or their notice must have gone to spam folder)

I've always been able to use version 1.73 smoothly in the past. Then, later I tried out version 1.75 thinking that it might work better. I could connect and activate. I had no problem transferring small files. However, it always stopped recognising the device as a valid USB mass storage a few minutes into the transfer operation. The de-activation would hang the device. I then went back to the older version that I still kept in my PC, (Modaco only has the faulty new version), and everything works again. I transferred a 3.7 gb file without problem.
So, make sure you do not use version 1.75 from the Modaco site.

doh!
I just read the first page and installed the 1.75 version which does crach my ameo as well. Can anyone tell me where to get version 1.72?

Please test the new WM5torage 1.78 beta version on your Athenas. It should again work on long transfers without glitches.
Feedback is needed, so please report in the main support forum here - http://www.modaco.com/WM5torage-t238545.html
Unless people with Athenas will participate in testing, there will be no good support for it...

Where can we get the 1.78 version
when I go to the link in the previous post, and click on download, it suggest only versuin 1.75
I'm having same error described in post #1 on my HTC Athena WM6.
Actually the error occurs only when using PC with WIN XP OS, while on my laptop which runs Win 2000 I don't have that problem at all.
Cheers

I've tried version 1.73, 1.75 and 1.78 beta 2 and only 1.73 is working.
On other versions i'm getting same error as Leoni
Cheers

I've tried loads of versions now but can't seem to gwet my hands on 1.73.
All the cabs marked 1.73 are 1.75
Can someone post a working 1.73 cab please

Here is version 1.73

the trick is to disable the advanced network support option in Connectivity in settings under the "PC-to-USB" icon

yes its a good while ago now since I posted that thread. but I do recall trying unticking the advanced network functionality box with my original wm5 tmob rom and also with the leaked wm6 rom. I also recall that it still didn't work. I really did try everything but only found success when installing the older version of wm5torage.I still cannot fathom why wm5torage 1.75 worked for some people but not for me. I haven't tested it since installing p.k.s black rom but will try tomorrow.
sorry to be a buttlicker olipro but cheers for your work by the way

Not digitally signed with a Trusted certificate/ Activesync keeps UNINSTALLING!

First of all, I had some minor problems getting Activesync to recognize my 8525. (XP, Net 2.0). After a couple of driver updates or whatever, it finally worked!
I tried flashing to a different ROM but had problems during the HardSPL procedure. I stopped it, but THEN had some problems trying to connect my 8525 to the PC!! (Activesync again, ugh!) I uninstalled & re-installed Activesync like 3 times, and FINALLY got it to work again!
Now I have problems installing .CAB files to my 8525. I keep on getting the warning:
"The program is from an unknown publisher. You should install it only...."
I press "YES" and it comes as "unsuccessful".
I press "NO" and I get the "... program cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate".
Besides having installation problems, I also noticed that Activesync keeps on disappearing/uninstalling from my PC. I have to install Activesync 4.5 every time I turn on the PC.
Can some one tell me what's going on? What should I do? Should I do a "HARD RESET"? (I have done a SOFT RESET but to no avail). I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

I found out that I shouldn't do a HARD RESET because it will erase the "unlocked" feature in my phone. (I bought the phone unlocked).
I have researched the wiki, and some threads, and ACTUALLY someone else had this problem, way back in 2006. (The .CAB problem). But no one responded.
I also had to uninstall a program I had previously installed in my 8525 due to the fact that it stopped responding. It just wouldn't work anymore. I got the same "unsigned certificate" message.
I guess I'm going to RE-INSTALL Activesync ALLL over again. Maybe it will help it or something...
(This is literally going to be like the 5th time I install Activesync. And I just got the 8525).
IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME WITH THE .CAB PROBLEM I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
(I'm running WM6 Pro, AT&T)

freakin piece of crap!
its STILL NOT WORKING!!!!!
It USED TO WORK! I used to be able to install .CAB files. I have only installed 2 .cab files into internal memory (NO external. dont have one yet). I installed Opera Mini, and Wifi Radar. I also installed a couple of themes. I also installed animated themes but deleted them since they wouldn't work. (I think they required some other stuff). I also deleted all the themes except for one.
THEN one day, i tried doing that HardSPL-V7, and I got to the last step but quit since I got an error telling me that if I continue the (usb?)device could stop working.
Another time I tried installing SPB Finance 2.8 .CAB and that's when I noticed it would no longer install .CAB files. (It also won't install directly using .exe)
I researched Google and the forums, and found out a guy that had the same problem (no one responded).
Today I noticed that Pocket Wifi Radar wouldn't run. It said something about the certificates. I uninstalled it, tried to install it again, but it wasn't successful.
So far this has been the history of my 8525. Could it be because the "certificates" were installed in the ORIGINAL computer profile? Since I have installed Activesync many times, I noticed every time it creates a new profile. For example, the first time it was called "Windows PC". Then it was called "Windows PC2". Just right now I installed it again, and it was going to be named "Windows PC3", but I changed the name to something else, and of course it still didn't work.
Could ANYBODY give me some tips as to what I should do? Thank you.

go to settings>connections>usb to pc. uncheck "enable advanced network functionality".
if it syncs a few times with no problems run unlocker tool found in upgrades section. then hard spl then if you feel game enough upgrade os with one of your choice.
Hope this helps... cheers

holy cow, relax guy. you are not the only person to ever get the not digitally signed message.
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...igned&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
as for the hardspl problem, i responded to that thread you created, didnt you see?

Ok, I tried what you mentioned ultra, and I got this message upon connecting the 8525 to the PC. (BTW, this is the SAME message that appeared when I was attempting to install HardSPL-V7),
HTC USB Sync
has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatability with
Windows XP.
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or disabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
I pressed "Continue" and it installed HTC USB Sync. But then I got the a message telling me "Activesync 4.5 or greater needs to be installed" (even though it IS installed). I ran through the setup again, and it would only let me "repair" or "uninstall". I pressed "repair". Afterwards it asked me to "restart". I did. Then upon loading back up, I connected the 8525 to the PC again, and I got the SAME message again (the one about it not passing Windows Logo). This time I pressed "STOP" and then I got the message about HTC USB Sync not being installed in the computer.
I have been fed up with the problems the 8525 has been giving me. My Clie UX was so much easier to manage. Quick question, I am REALLY leaning on doing a HARD RESET, but I think/kinda know, that if I do, it will ERASE WM6 correct? And go back to WM5?
Oh and yes xtreme, I have searched this on the search bar. And yes, I know you replied back, but you were referring to the Hard SPL. I am having problems w/ installing .CAB files.

dont hit stop dude, u're suppose to hit continue. hitting stop prevents the drivers from being installed and then the RUU wont run

Well I did press "Continue" the first time and I did not see any improvements. I just saw that it installed "HTC USB Sync".
I AM able to successfully install Activesync, I just can't get .CAB files to install.
Could it be because I pressed "STOP" whenever I tried using HardSPL? Should I try and run HardSPL AGAIN and this time pressing "Continue"?
Oh, and are you sure I'm supposed to press "Continue"? After all, I do get that error about Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation. It sounds fishy pressing "Continue".

I just installed Activesync ALLLL over again, but this time in the D:/ drive... still the same .CAB problem.
Oh, and I no longer have the problem where Activesync would uninstall by itself. I noticed it fixed itself yesterday.
BUT I'm still having problems installing .CAB files.

1). hard reset will reset it back to factory its true BUT, and like j-lo's this is a big but, it will re install the last os on the phone (wm6) NOT the stock rom...
2). are you installing the .cab files from the computer or copying them to the memory card and installing from there?
If you install the .cab from the memory card it seems to work fairly well (at least from my experience). if its in a .exe format then it runs from the computer and requires activesync. if you have the .cab file then my suggestion is try to run it from the memory card.. Cheers..

Try installing the SDK certificates and see if that helps

Finally Works!!!!! Hard Reset!
OK, so I've been up for about 3hrs straight trying to figure this out. Reinstalled/uninstalled activesync... tried installing HardSPL again (twice)... didn't work. So I was like, you know what...f* it. I'm going to do a Hard Reset. I'm just gonna try it.
IT WORKED!!!! AND IT STILL STAYED IN WM6!!!! And I think it's still unlocked (although I've read from threads that a HR will disable the unlocked feature).
I AM GLAAAAD THAT I CAN INSTALL FILES NOW!!!! YAY!! (hehe). THANKS TO THOSE WHO TRIED TO HELP!!! SERIOUSLY. It feels really bad when no one tries to help you, even though you don't have a CLUE as to what to do.
** I solemnly swear I will no longer try to use HardSPL or try flashing to a different ROM*. I will use the ROM that came with the phone, and be glad everything is WORKING **
*= at least for until a couple of more months
AND for those who are having this problem (and it's a lot of ppl, based from search results), try a HARD RESET. It helped me anyways.
"and like j-lo's this is a big but"

Glad it worked but I wouldnt allow one bad experiance to turn you off flashing... If I were you I'd still flash hard spl ( in case you find something that you really like). It DOES make it easier to fix "bricks". But just to satisfy your curiosity, go to bootloader and see if it says that you have 2.10 or 2.30 SPL. Also if you want to try flashing, try the sd card method. Its a heap safer (from my experience) than flashing by activesync. Check the wiki for how to do it.
PS. you dot need to reformat the sd card. if you have all the stuff you want on it then just copy the .nbh to the root of the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh", it will load as soon as the hermes is put into bootloader and you wont have to re-install anything. Works every time for me and I've done it about 30 or 40 times...Cheers......

i think his problem is that he can't install .cab files period. he's having the same problem as me. my first phone had that prob, i updated .net 2.0 and it was fine. got my second phone here, update .net to 3.5, but still can't transfer/execute ANY cab files to my phone. the pc just doesn't recognize the phone period. i can't copy/paste, can't push anything through onto my phone. it's crazy. so what else can we do? i'd like to think i'm pretty tech savvy, but this isn't cool LOL

Hello,
now I cannot execute a 'not signed' .exe from my diamond, because of the 'not signed' error message.
I tried to see the first steps of the android port on the diamond touch. I had to remove the battery to stop the application. Since, it's not possible for me to execute any non-signed application (total commander, putty, ...).
Did you find a clean solution? I prefer not to go through the steps of reinstalling a new firmware (windows isn't accessible on my computer & I have a rather old backup of my diamond's files).
I allready have a hardspl, because my orginal ROM is from SFR (french operator)... and I prefer the original HTC version which is more beautiful & more uptodate.

Trying the same thing for my Diamond after trying out Android on it.

Same problem here. Running android 1.0 got me into this trouble.
(Running android 0.8 multiple times did not cause this problem.)
Did anybody find a better solution than hard reset?

PocketLoox N100 ServiceMode

hi everyone...I have a Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX N100 that runs on wm5.I wonder if somebody knows a way to get it into service mode because I want to replace the GPS software that comes with the unit, not only because the maps are way out of date, but because the don't have a map for my country. I would like to install iGo because I have it on another GPS and I love it...
Thanks in advance...

Loox N100 does not run WM 5.1 but WinCE 5.0
To access the device you need to enable ActiveSync und the device.
I join two CAB files in order to enable or disable ActiveSync.
Just rename the file you need to MN6-update.cab and put in root of miniSD card (save original one first) and reset device.
After that you can access the device via ActiveSync and install whichever software you like.
If you want to enable ActiveSync and start on a clean desktop you should use the CAB file attached.
In there you have
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Launch50"="explorer.exe"

Sascha

first of all I want to thank you Sabo, I'm really looking forward to get back from my trip and test those cabs...
but first let me see if I got it wright:
1.the loox_n100_enable...zip are the files to enable/disable the activesync, but would I have access to the WM menus??I ask this because the N100 starts in a kiosk mode
2.the MN6_update.cab - is going to start the N100 in explorer mode not kiosk??

I have a Loox n110 running TT6 and I got all my hacking info from here . It's a very long thread going back 3 years but it has everything you need to know. I installed the iLooks desktop starting off with the Active Sync cab trick as mentioned to access WinCe.
Hope you find it useful.

hi..thank you very much guys for all the help...until now I wanted to sell the n100 but now I'm again very happyyyy, I can barelly wait to start experimenting...

Forgot to mention that with a Mini SD to Micro SD adapter I can run a 16gb memory card on it so you can really load it up - no wifi though.

let me see if I got it wright:
1.the loox_n100_enable...zip are the files to enable/disable the activesync, but would I have access to the WM menus??I ask this because the N100 starts in a kiosk mode
2.the MN6_update.cab - is going to start the N100 in explorer mode not kiosk??

Don't sell this fine piece of hardware.
Where els do you find a PND with removable battery which is this small and where you can disable static navigation in order to use it easily for geocaching or other things.

I can only see the first 4 GB of a microSDHC card.
Do you have a driver in order to see the rest of the card?

My mistake sorry although the system recognises the capacity of the 16gb card when I actually browse the folders not all files are showing. I forgot this as I don't use this card usually in the Loox.
It does recognise all files on my 8gb microSDHC card, however. My built in driver is "SDHC_SC2410.dll". I haven't installed any other drivers myself.
Mine is the Loox n110 with the built in flash drive of 2gb using driver "FLASHDRV.dll". Not that it would affect the reading of the SDHC memory.
Hope that answers your question.

Hello all, I know it is a very very old topic !
But I found in my father's place this old Loox N100 piece of tech and I was trying to do some stuff with it.
I managed to access Windows CE 5 thanks to those CAB file provided about this topic.
But then I can't install or modify anything.
Can someone help me to update the maps of the GPS or install a more recent one please?
I have been searching for hours on internet but I can't find how to do. I don't understand the use of ActiveSync neither. My PC is running on Windows 11.
I tried to copy some exe or cab file to the Mini SD card, but when I want to install them from the device, I have an error "xxx is not a valid windows CE setup file"
Anybody could help me achieve something with this old tech?
Thanks a lot and sorry for the old post.
BTW: Since I used the CAB file above, I always boot on Windows CE first and also the USB connection to the PC doesn't open the SD Card anymore. I tried to use the "disable activesync" CAB file above, but it continues to boot on Windows CE and USB connection still not work.

Anyone with knowledge of this old tech can help me figure out a few things ?
At least how to revert it back to normal haha
Thanks
