and has anyone got an ready cooked rom for o2 UK PC003 that they can let me have :?:
any help will be more than welcome :lol:
Hi rickyjune,
Welcome to xda-developers and congrats on getting an XDA. hopefully you won't be dissapointed. I can't help you with EZWAP but as far as cooking your own ROMS, it's quite easy and rarely goes wrong... if you use the SD Card method. There are numerous posts about this in the forum so I'll let you look them up. But briefly,
* Cook your ROM but choose the SD Card method, not the Program A. You can also cook the 2003 PPC version and it will work on XDA
* Get yourself an SD Card [minimum 32MB but as big a you can afford]
* Get yourself an SD Card reader, so your computer can read/write the card.
* Search for Jeffs tools for copying the SD ROM version onto an SD card.
* Use this tool to copy the ROM onto the SD Card. Don't use Windows explorer, it won't work.
* Put the SD Card into your XDA and go into bootloader mode and follow the instructions
It is worth the extra hassle, trust me.
Note: You will loose everything on your XDA by updating your ROm or just by going into bootloader mode [I think]

EZWAP 2.5 is so complex for just MMS ... better to try MMS Composer 1.6.12 or higher ... it's more simple in setup and more efficient
I presume you are using an O2 email account. I had a similar problem until I realised that it can take about fifteen minutes or so for your O2 email session to time out, if you haven’t logged out properly.
i.e. if you are reading your O2 mail on your desktop, and just close it down using the X button, then you are still logged in on the server. When you then try to get your mail on your handheld, it’s as though you are trying to begin a second session on the same user id and so the password screen keeps appearing.
If you need to alternate between devices rapidly, make sure you log out properly each time.

I acidently loaded the firmware for I-mate on to my XDA II and now all that comes up on the screen is HTC engineering mobility V0.23. I also can't get it to sink. What should i do?
This is a Demo phone i got for free so i cant send it back.
Thanks for any help
1. I can reassure you that you really did destroy your OS! :lol:
2. Try search at this site, this sort of topic has been being discussed since...
...I don't remember!
3. Have a glance at threads, discussing SD method of OS flashing + you'll need a ROM image file (for any kind of XDA2) and an SD card (>=64Mb).
Loading a new rom with an MMC or SD card
ok i went to www.romkitchen.de and created a rom for pocket pc 2002. So now all i need to do is load it on to my MMC card, put in into my XDA2 and reboot?
Pocket PC 2002 or Windows Mobile 2003 for a XDA2
Should i use Pocket PC 2002 or Windows Mobile 2003 for a XDA2?
Stop!!! The site you are looking at is cooking roms for the old XDA 1, it is not for XDA 2!
TY, i got a copy of some one elses OS, and im going to try to flash it with an SD card.
That didnt work, I dont think im putting it on the SD card right? Do i just copy it to the card or do i need to do somthing to the .nb1 file to make it a boot file?
Also my Bootloader is V0.23 kinda old.
Does any one know of a place i can send this to get it fixed in the US? This is a Demo phone i dont think i can send it back to O2.
Don't give it up yet.
1. XDA2 ROMs are marked 1.xx (1.60, 1.72...) - you need this ones.
2. How do you put it to the SD? You need OSimageTool or maybe other program to put it to the card in RAW format - not converted by active sync or so...
I tried using the OSimageTool to save the .nb1 into the .img but it tells me "don’t know how to write distinationfile". I was able to convert the .nb1 in to a .nbf but that’s it. Is there another conversion program out there?
Sorry i ment "destinationfile" all one word
xdatools are ONLY for xda1

Is there a way to make a boot disk out of an SD card if so how?
Mine is defiantly wiped if I try to run an update to 1.60 using HimaUpgradeUt.exe it show all my image versions as blank. When I hit upgrade it just hangs on the install screen that says "current software is now being erased from your pocket PC. This will take only a few minutes." The progress bar never advances from there, I've tried to reset and it’s the same thing over and over.
hi
I have downloaded the wm2003se from lumpinstefan and i could change the rom of my pocket pc to that version by using ActiveSync.
Now i downloaded another version of the rom and i tried to install it on my Qtek 1010 (Wallaby) and it in the black window on my computer appears:
"ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the rem
ote host.
error getting connectiontype"
When i press the next button in the setup it says " cannot execute the remote communication prgram. please make sure that USB/Serial is properly connected". and the setup shuts down.
i Need You to know that before the new rom i downloaded from lumpistefan i was using pocket pc 2002 on my pocket pc.
Now it's clear that there is some problems in the connection. i tried it on several computers but i faced the same problem. is there any setting on my pocket pc to change??
Please somebody helps me i really need to know how to solve the problem.
Regards, and thank you.
Try searching the forum.

ROM Upgrade communication error
Yeah I am having the same problem after installing the T-Mobile ROM, the same communication error when I try and change the installed ROM Image.
I did think it was something wrong with ActiveSync or my laptop :twisted:
Has anyone got any hints on how to do this on a Wannaby? (Saves me getting the wrong idea whilst reading through reams of text).
Many Thanks
Yes i have upgradet my rom via sd card and it worked. it is easy....
Any way thanks so much buddies... tell me something, is there a place in this forum where i can download the windows mobile 2005 version?
2005
I am abit of a newby to this site. I havent seen 2005 yet. Can I ask where I can find instructions for writing an SD card and how to apply to my PDA?

Hmm doesnt work for me. I am selecting the browse button to select the nbf file from the image and in the second drop down box selecting the sd card. When I press copy it comes up with the error ITWriteSDCard: The media is write protected, error opening target device. The card isnt locked as I can read and write files to it using explorer. Whats going on?!?!
Growing frustration!!!

Some internal SD-Card Writer make problems. i Think you can use also the SD-Card-Slot in your devuce, or you have to get an external Writer...

Hi, I already read a lot in the forum and the wiki, but as my first try to update my rom went terribly wrong I tend to ask some pros for help
I got me a used XDA1, it worked fine and was a german O2 Model. Then I got the last Update from O2 (3.19) and updated it with success. Then I wanted to unlock it with your Special Edition Rom, downloaded it and tried to apply it just like the O2 one via active sync and progam A. Result was, that my xda got stuck, now I can only see the empty transfer bar on the xda and can´t connect to the xda with active sync anymore. Both resets won´t help to bring the xda back to live the silly bar comes back every time... I can still get into the bootloader, though. As far as I understand I can still get the thing working again with a SD-Card and a rom on it? Can someone pleasepleaseplease tell me which card to buy (I don´t have one jet...) and how to get a onto this card and where I can get this rom? I still have the Files this O2 exe unzipped onto my disk and theres a nice 31MB NK.nbf in the Program/German folder. I already found the description how to flash from a SD-card with the bootloader, I just don´t know where to find the right rom and how to put it on a card... And maybemaybe, could someone tell me the right way to get this O2 xda working with a D1 card without getting it stuck again???
Thanks a lot to all your answers, I really need this thing to work again, and still ask myself how I could try to update the rom without reading enough, seems I will cry into my pillow till it works again cause it´s the only cell I got at the moment
Download xdatools and install, choose the nbf file as source and your card reader/writer as destination, choose this from the drop down menu at the bottom. You will need a 64 meg minimum sd card, a card reader/writer, xdatools and the nbf file. Once xdatools has programmed the sd card you insert into xda, push reset while holding power, when prompted push the action key which is the centre of the 4 way rocker switch. You will find many roms in the the kitchen that is kindly run my lumpistefan. Make sure to choose sd card flashing at base of screen before cooking rom. Here is the link for the rom kitchen.

thanks a lot for the fast answer I got all the progs and the original 3.19 german o2 rom from rom kitchen. Now I´ll just have to get me a SD-Card... One more little question. I can´t turn the XDA off with the powerswitch and after reseting it also turns on automatically. I´ll have to wait till Monday to buy a SD-Card, so is there a way to get the thing off although it is still in transfermode or will I have to leave it on and in the cradle?
If you want it switched off completely, just poke once into the hole under the headphone socket, this will completely disconnect the battery, when you want it back on just push once again. Always do that procedure after flashing a rom also, push once then leave for on eminute, push once more to switch back on with new rom and noot sequence.
works fine, thanks
hi ppl,
today I ve made rom with the romkitchen, it was 2003 final and everything went ok, phone was functional until I used to try to install some newer versin of the programs I previously included in the rom. That didnt work (of course) so I decide to put another rom without those programs so I can install newer versions but when I run the romkithen exe computer report
in the dos window
error getconnectiontipe - unspecified error
error getting connectiontype
and the program for the patching report that he is trying to get the data from the device and after that he reports that
"cannot execute the remote communication program, please make sure that the usb/serial cable is properly connectes"
of course cable is connected, device syncing with the active sync and the icon is green, used to try to soft reset pc and pocketpc, to hardware reset pocket pc, to connect it to other pc and patch there, to install active sync 3.7.1, to reinstall active sync 4.2, to reinstall usb drivers on the pc, to put sim card and sd card out and to patch then... nothing helped...
what can I do ? is that due to the windows 2003 instalation on the pocket pc (had same version on other wallaby without the problems) ? can I solve that some way ?
I ve read before that patching can be performed from the SD card so I found the xda tools and osi image tool but couldnt found rom nd1 file anywhere (was stupid and didnt make copy of my previous rom)... which rom can I use just to enable USB connection and after that I ll patch it with the "normal" rom from the rom kitchen...
Ive checked those roms http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions but didnt find any nd1 file in the files I ve checked, can I use those roms with osi image tool eventually ?
which one ?
Lots of questions ... Sorry people ...
I can use it in this condition too but I d rather have an opportunity to flash it to some other version maybe.
Best regards to the community !
I think it´s just the problem that the ROM prohibits flashing via EXE-file. You have to flash via SD-Card.....
You find the ROm to write on the SD-Card in the EXE-FIle. Just extract the exe using winzip, and then you will find it in a subdirectory (normally english, or dependent on the ROM-Language...)
Stefan
Thanks a lot Stefan, so I can use some ROM from the page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions ?
Any advice which one should I take please (Im not using any of the operators noted there, just looking for some rom that will function ok) ?
Thanks m8 !
Yes, you can take any rom of it. Mostly the T-Mobile prohibits flashing via EXE-File, but Flashing via SD-Card is more secure in my opinion. So i´ve done 99,9% of my flashes via SD-Card, and you can believe me, i´ve done it a lot of times.....
By the way, which software has to been updated in my romkitchen?
If you give me the hints, i could try to update them....
Stefan
thanks a lot for your time and advices Stefan !
Its not a huge problem but probably we share same opinion - most of the tech guys like to see that everything work fine, if something doesnt work then we re not satisfied.
Basically problem is that I included spb pocket plus in the rom and therefore I cant install spb weather which demands pocket plus v 2.5+ and version in the rom is 2.0. I cant upgrade it coz its in the ROM, used to try to remove it from the registry but no luck, used to install latest spb diary coz the spb weather also work with the diary but looks like that the first thing weather perform is checking of the pocket plus version and if the version is not 2.5+ it stops the installation...
Probably for the most of the people spb weather is not a reason for loosing couple of hours in trying to change rom in wallaby but as I ve mentioned I like the things that work 100%, if some electronic/computer stuff work at 99% that usually bother me. Stupid - I know but thats the way it is.
Im going to patch it thru the SD, thanks again for the all your efforts now and before.
GL & HF !
Sorry...
Still need help, using the OSI tool I copyed NK.nbf file from 4.02.04_eng rom to "XDA SD Card Slot -unknown size" - coz I dont have card reader/writer at the present moment so I tought that I can put the file via the cradle connection while the card is in the wallaby...
Checked the card from the wallaby file explorer but nothing is on the card, since I had expirience with direct writing to c64 and amiga disks writing I assumed that file could be written directly to the card without OS instructions but after the reset of the wallaby it report that card shoud be formatted to become writable... Is that normal, or I should wait for the card writer reader to put the file properly to the sd card ?
If possible please help me with the link for the OSI tool patching, I cant find it anymore, checked thru the site but no luck, dont know what I have to press so the wallaby read the rom from the sd card.
Thanks Stefan & all others
success !
No help needed, I ve made it...
So dont have any fears as Stefan told unpack the rom from the self extracting archive and run osi tool, in the source field set nbf as a file type and then select extraced rom.
As a target you can set card reader/writer and also you can put the SD card in the wallaby as I did. Set the XDA SD card as a target in that case.
Its normal that after the writing (no message that writing is successfull, when it is finished OSI tool will stop) SD card become unreadable to wallaby.
Then perform actions as noted in SD card patching info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
Hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a " Hard Reset"
Action button mentioned above is middle button - "D PAD"
Works like a charm, now I have o2 win 2002 and later I ll patch it to 2003 SE again but without pocket plus.
Thanks Stefan and community !
HI everyone I am having a major problem with the tomtom7 install it simply hangs right from the start as it displays the progress bar which never moves it just hangs there. I have been working with another user in detail to help he has given me his exact process and files from his working setup but it only gets to the exact same spot
I have tried on two separate sd cards one a lexar 4g card the other a sandisk 16G. I put a raster folder and a voices folder to the root of the storage card and I also place the cab TTN7.450.9028 and then execute the cab from ctotal commander or file explorer. I have tried installing to both the card and the phone with the exact same result I have tried with an RRE ROM and now with EnergyROM3.0 under windows Mobile 6.5 professional I saw a posting elsewhere on XDA about the same thing but it simply said install from a working platform and then it said it was resolved but never mentioned anything about how it was resolved.
I am a noob so I may have missed something basic
currently I don;t think my gps is enabled on my account I wanted to get TT7 installed and then turn it on I have already gone through my 30 day trial but that shouldn't affect the install my radio version is 1.11.25.01 but again I do not know if this would affect the install
Any ideas would be helpful at this point
Check you PM
Just keep waiting for it. TT7 takes forever to install or show some initial progress. I usually plug power in so the phone will stay on, otherwise you just have to keep the screen on for it to install.
