[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pbocsak:
I fiexd it!!!!!! :-) :-)

All right! I'm all set now!!!! I finally got this damn 1.30 ROM to work!!!

This is my story...

My JasJar turned off @ 85% of battery remaining, sometimes @ 94% (heavy use : MP3 + camera starting)

I thought "it maybe has something to do with the firmware... let's see if there's a new one out there..." so I DL the firmware... first it didn't work... 2nd try was unsucessful... Then I tryed with the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and it worked. As I rebooted the device (soft reset + [-] + [-]), I got into the BootLoader mode. I tried to update it with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, MaUpgradeUt.exe and even the original setup but sucessless... I noticed that whenever I wanted to boot, a red light blinked once (either if I was going to BootLoader mode, the "restore factory defaults" mode or juste trying to boot "normaly"). Sometimes the MaUpgradeUt.exe could connect to my device, but was saying sth like:

updating from

ROM version :

radio version :

xxxx version:

To

ROM version :

radio version:

xxxx version:

yes! nothing was written at all! Then - of course - the setup failed

I thought hmm... maybe there isn't enough power left in it ( I thought the battery was broken or sth and order a new one for arround USD 30.- on expansis, I think). So I plugged it into the wall socket for + 16hrs. Still no turn on, and still a single red blink of the right LED (right when you open it normaly, with the keyboard facing you).

As I came home from work, I surfed arround the forum for a while, getting tips from here and there... I noticed sth strange, though... when I went to BootLoader Mode, it was written "serial" if it wasn't plugged in, or "USB" if it was plugged in, but as soon as I changed it's status (plug it in or out), the status didn't change on the screen... I even tried to connect with the "MTTY" utility, but nothing worked... I don't know, how, or why I just thought... "hmm.. what if I remove the SD card (SIM was already removed and inserted into an "emergy-use" phone). I removed it, rebooted into BootLoader and plugged it into the computer... Now, the status changed from "serial" to "USB" on the screen, but the computer wouldn't recognise it ("uknown device, please update drivers blah blah...."). I tried switching USB ports... same result... damn... I just though "Oh hell! Let's go though all the 3x pages of this topic"... as I read morphosin's post

I thought "hmmm why not switch cables?" even though this same cable was the one I used for ages either for my JasJar or my Digital Camera... So I picked a random (I have tons of them) USB A<-> mini-USB A cable, plugged it into the "new" USB socket and guesse what? Windows told me "PocketPC Smarte phone detected".... "installing those DAMN drivers you wanted me to install for so long"!!!! It was a dream come true! Then I did the "set 14 0" command through "MTTY" (it DID recognise USB this time!!). Then ran the "normal" set up of "JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe" I got from the FTP, disabled my screensaver, went to eat somthing and when I got back, my computer was telling me to reset my device (soft reset + [-] + [-]) what I did, and then, my JasJar told me

"i-mate JasJar!

Would you please calibrate my screen?"

Right now, I'm uploading it to I-can't-remember-who's JASJAR_WWE_19094_19503_11100_AKU_3_2_ship!!! Can't wait for it to be done!

I thank all you guys for any kind of tips you give during these procedures! In a word "you're the greatest!!!" (ok, make that 4)

edit:

I don't think you need a fully charged battery for this opperation, since my JasJar was down @ arround 86% when I started and I had it @ 100% when I first went back to Windows Mobile... Even though I left it in the charger for +16hrs, I left it upluged at times, with BootLoader running...
