I'm now using T-Mobile ROM lastest version, and I want to try downgrade my ROM to 1.60 Asian Rom (o2), but i'm stuck at the stage 1 (erase rom) and then it skip to the final page where said "Error 112 CE ROM update error" I tried both O2 UK and O2 Asian ROM, it has the same problem, But when i try with T-Mobile, its work!!. Anyone have an ideas? btw, I change the header of device type from PH10B to blank , bcoz it would appear another prob--> model ID error
if your device is originally branded by t-mobile ... you have to modify the country ID in the ROM file to be T-mobile
use er2003edit
1. Clean Device ID in all oarts of rom
2.flash it
I've got the same problem just now :x . I know something about flashing myself :shock: . Still I don't know how to "modify the country ID in the ROM" or how to "clean DeviceID in all parts of ROM". Where to look for step-by-step instructions :?: :?: :?:
Try this trick:
1. Get to bootloader (power+navi-key+reset)
2. Put device into cradle
2. Run update
maybe this helps :

my first post and contribution.. hopefully it would be alot of help to other people..
this is the official IMATE 1.72 ROM...except that it was encoded to work with O2 XDA2 units
added the O2 splash screen to retain the O2 bootup image -just load O2.cab into your XDA2
the upgrade utility shouldnt show you any more country ID error for O2 XDA2 units.. if there are problems.. holler me ASAP!!
feedbacks would be nice, coz i would like to make upgrades for other Network providers as well..
Thanks for that.
Can you show me a step by step guide on how to upgrade O2 xda 2 1.60.WWE version to this?
Thanks again.
ok... im not an expert yet, coz i just had my XDA2 for a week, but i do enjoy tweaking and playing with it.. besides, the knowledge i gain thru reading this forum is more than enough..
ok.. here goes..
1. create a full BACKUP your XDA2.. (but i dunno if this is helpful should you fail to upgrade your ROM)
2. download the above file and extract it.
3. you should see it extract 7 files.
4. put your xda2 in the cradle connected to the PC
5. run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
6. wait around 30-60 mins. then follow the procedure as shown on your computer. (a hard reset would be required)
7. after the upgrade is done, you should see the IMATE screen upon booting up (instead of the O2 bubble screen) if you wanne be extra sure, check your XDA2 version.if everything is ok, then you should have upgraded it correctly
8. if you want to revert to the old O2 splash screen during bootup, then copy O2.cab to your XDA2 and run it there. Do a soft reset, and voila, it should be back to the old O2 bootscreen.
I suggest that you contact your NETWORK PROVIDER because you will need to manually configure GPRS, MMS, and INTERNET settings on your xda2 after doing the upgrade.
WARNING: i wont be held responsible or liable for failed upgrade of your unit. Please understand that by agreeing to upgrade your XDA2, you are taking full responsibility of whatever untoward incidents that may occur to your XDA2. Flashing the rom might lead to DATA LOSS, SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, and even DEVICE MALFUNCTION.
but.. the rewards of upgrading it is sweet!
Many thanks for all of these description.
BTW, how do you feel the upgrade?
What you really get from this?
Can you share with us?
Thanks again.
Cheers mate.
i dunno, im just a week old newbie in using XDA2 :wink:
i just enjoy tweaking the XDA..so far, no problems here.
My xda2 currently is 1.66wwe. after upgrade to 1.72wwe, what's the different between it? anything increase? sorry because i'm a new bird
did a lil research.. so far, came to this...
The 1.72 ROM eliminates the majority of problems from the 1.66 ROM such as:
Increased battery drain
Device slows down
Bluetooth GPS devices don't work, even with Pocket Bluetooth Tools
Can it be downgraded back to O2 xda2 1.60WWE Rom?
Many thanks.
i doubt that it can be downgraded... i havent personally tried to downgrade my ROM to a lower version.. but there are other threads related to this, and they claim that when they tried downgrading their ROMS, their XDA2 died....
you can try searching for other topics if there are information about downgrading... .so far, i dont have any problems with my 1.72 ROM...
except that there is no running program application which enables me to switch off any running program in the background.. but i easily remedied it by downloading TASKMANAGER.... its quite the same with running programs...other than that, so far, so good.
Error 121 Language ID Error
Hi,
after running HimaUpgradeUt.exe I get the message:
Error 121 Language ID Error (N-2-1-0-1), the ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your Pocket PC.
I ran ERedit2003 Version 1.2.20 and opened the file ms_.nbf using the password 0x20040305. I saved the file with the different language settings WWE, ENG and GER. Always the problem remains the same.
My XDA2 currently has ROM 1.66.01GER.
Thanks for help.
try to change the operator name , too! or use other hymalaya upgrade files, from other roms!

Hi,
Thanks. But now I get the message:
Error 120 Language ID Error ( N-1-8-1-8 ), the ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your Pocket PC. I tried with settings O2 WWE, O2 GER and O2 ENG.
When specifying CDL instead of O2 the error code changes to Error 120 Language ID Error ( N-1-8-8-8 ).
So the problem remains the same
Thanks for help.
Help for beginners: upgrading O2 Xda II to ROM 1.72
New to Forum-sorry to be slow on the uptake. I am trying to undersand how to upgrade O2 Xda II (ExROM 160.50) to ROM 1.72 without losing the machine. Waxx says you need to reconfigure the ISP settings (I assume because they are lost in the upgrade). I cannot find O2 settings for GPRS Interenet and MMS on the net. Talking to O2 is a waste of time.
Does anyone have a step by step description that results in ROM 1.72/Radio 1.18 (or lower if 1.18 still in beta) working on O2 Xda II?
Has anyone reported doing it sucessfully. Have non recoverable failures been reported?
RamyG
Just copy the attached CAB file across to say, My Documents on your XDA, and run it via FileManager.
It will customise your O2 XDA II with all the correct settings.
Once it has done that (and you've tested it works), just uninstall the O2 Active bit and your settings will remain (well they did on mine)
BTW - I upgraded to the new ROM, and have had no problems at all ! Very sweet
Mark
Thnx Mark, just to make sure before I jump in: the steps are:
(1) upgrade to 1.72 using Waxx's attachement (is that the file you used?) (2) follow the procedure you described and I will get O2 customised Xda II (same as where I started) but with ROM1.72 and later Radio Stack. Right?
2 questions:
(a) are the GPRS setting for MOBILE WEB (post paid)
(b) what benefits should I expect from the upgrade? (other than the satisfaction that it succeeded, l if it works?
thnx
RamyG
Yep I used the attachment from Waxx ...
The procedure you mentioned is correct ... I did have a few heart stopping moments after the upgrade because (like you) I couldn't find the necessary settings for GPRS etc .. but the O2 cab file re-installs everything back to what it should be for the UK.
You are prompted to choose relevant settings - in this case you get a choice from either post-paid (MobileWeb) or PrePay ...
As for benefits, people are reporting better bluetooth support, and better battery life. Only upgraded mine yesterday, so can't comment on either yet !
HTH
Mark
Has anyone else had problems charging overnight with the ROM version?
Got Error 120: Country ID error N-8-1-1-1
Hi all,
I am new member here. I did upgrade to ROM 1.72WWE and seems working fine. Because the PDA is idle, I try to roll back to ROM 1.60.44 eng. and got the country id error N-8-1-1-1. I tried to set the regional to English (UK) and English (US) but failed. Any comment? My XDAII is bought from Asia-HK. Thanks a lot.
Chris
Mark thnx for your help. For all those undecided souls I can report that Waxx's ROM 172 upgrade works fine for O2 Xda II. (BTW: it takes 3 times as long to upgrade as they say it does - it's 30 min for each of ROM ExROM and Radio modules).
Mark, O2.cab did not work as exepcted for some reason. When I ran it, it simple created a text file with O2 network config info and did not actually configure the Xda II. The info was correct and a manual config worked first time. Puzzled, I ran the O2 cab again but from another directory. This time I got the O2 spiral (I may have gotten the network configed again I can't know as I had previously configured it manually . The upgrade did lose the O2 dialer screen and reverted to the iMATE one. This is trivial. the Net is full of free attractive skins. e.g http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketpc-apps/
Mark Peters- I thank you again.

Sorry for my bad english
(i will now be responsible if something happens in your device)
reply for much more clarification
******************
Specially dedicated to the Filipinos!! MABUHAY TAYONG LAHAT
******************
Well first of all i like to say Thank You very mush to WAXX who helped me in upgrading my o2 1.66 to 1.72. Thanks You WAXX.
********************************************************
Well... firstly download this file came from WAXX.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=1261
After the download extract the zip file inside it, you shoul be seen 7 files.
I recommend you to extract it in desktop/new folder.
Plug the cradle in your USB.
Insert your XDA II in cradle
Run HimaUpgradeUT.exe, Then follow the steps.
if error appeared, remove the device in cradle and soft reset it, then run the HimaUpgradeUT.exe again.
if error appeared again do a soft reset again.
If no error then it will now smoothly running up to 100% of the proccess.
For me the process takes only 15 min. There are stage 1 to stage 5 for completion.
That's it.
********************************************************
Goodluck.. GodBless..
(i will now be responsible if something happens in your device)
You can approach me for some questions.
Take note this ROM was came from MAXX.
Thanks WAXX for your help.....
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
I would like to know to your device information (list of rom) !!!
Ok, downloaded the ROM
How do i backup MY rom incase anything goes wrong ?
will the upgrade work with a XDA II for O2 UK Network ???
cheers
Hi
I downloaded the file and unzipped it, when i try the upgrade it says error 120 country id error. my rom is 1.60.00 wwe dutch what is the problem?
Thanks
I would strongly afvise anyone who wants to upgrade to use the 'manual; by dcs together with any ROM Upgrade to prevent (future) country-id errors.
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=62760#62760
double_ofour,
pare i certainly hope you modified WAXX's ROM to set your Device to O2, instead of CDL You may have had a successful ROM upgrade now, but setting your device to CDL has major implications for future ROM upgrades (Hint: You cant use official O2 ROMS).
Pare how can i convert CDL to o2? step-by-step please
Hi,
About the QTEK2020 ROM:
------------------------------
My current ROM is the HI_TMNL_17200_190_11700_Ship from the official T-Mobile.NL site.
I want to upgrade to WM2003SE, where can I get this ROM ?
I downloaded some WM2003SE roms here,but always country ID error.
This can be fixed with a rom editor i read, but it looks complicated, if anyone could post me a link with the SE ROM link (or send me a short simple text to edit & modify a rom to clear the country error)
Thanks!
Innovator/Belgium
try this link
" Fix and prevent ROM upgrade/downgrade Country ID errors "
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
and this
"Genuine English WM2003 SE upgrade for Himalaya uploaded here"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13588
Hi Innovator,
try it this way:
Unpack the WM2003SE
Delete HimaClearJumpCode.exe and HimaGetDeviceData.exe
Start your XDA2 in bootloader mode manually
Connect the USB cable
Run the upgrade HimaUpgradeUt.exe
If it doesn't work, you need to get modified HimaUpgradeUt.exe, which doesn't check for countr/operator ID.
Or you can do it "traditional" way by editing all .nbf files manually.
If you'll run into problems, just let me know...
good luck

Hi guys, I'm VERY new here
I have a UK Orange SPV M1000 with the following details:
Operator Version: 3.66.1.230
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.10.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.230
I want to upgrade to 2003SE because of what I've read about improved battery, improved BT and widescreen use (and cos I just do )
I've downloaded the ROM and ExtROM from the massive 26 page topic further down the page but ran the .exe and got ERROR 120: country ID error.
Hmmm....
I looked through the forum but to be honest a lot of the stuff went over my head and 30 pages of topic is a lot to read through...
Can someone PLEASE put down a step by step 'idiots' guide to upgrading my ROM with links to relevant things i would need to download/install/whatever
I know I'm asking a lot but it would really help me and I suspect many other people who might look at the forum and leave after a few minutes with spinning heads.
Also, I've not been able to find any posts in reference to the M1000, only O2 branded and original HTC devices. Does this mean I'll have problems connecting to Orange and will need to set up GPRS connections, etc myself?
One more thing.... I have an original Orange 1.66 ROM (downloaded from the Orange UK website). If I mess things up, don't like it, have to send it back to Orange, will i just be able to run that ROM update and everything will go back to how it was?
Phew, long 1st post!
Thanks for reading!!!
I upgraded mine yesterday with the help of a post on getting round the country id, however bluetooth and camera didnt work so had to go back to old rom, so yes you can go backwards.
Hi, I'll try to help you.
Now unrar the files you have. There you'll find "HimaGetDeviceData" file. Copy this one in your PPC.
> Then run it from there. HimaGetDeviceData won't do anything.
> then go to Windows directory and search for file called "Device Data". Copy it to your PC and open it.
there you will found data for your USB, Rom version, this meen 1.66.00wwe, PH10, and the last two are very importaint.
They can be ...
first one O2, Qtek, CDL, TMOBILE. Remember your. This is your Operator.
Second one can be ... WWE, ENG, GER. This is your Language.
After this, you need to download ER2003Edit. You can find it in the forom.
When you install this run the program and open ms_.nbf file first.
You will se the operator and Language. Change them if they are different from yours. ( this is the O2, QTEK, and WWE, ENG ).
Save the ROM file ( CTRL+S ).
Do this with the other two NK.nbf and Radio_.nbf files.
Then run " HimaUpgradeUt " and wait for " Congratulations " and you're ready.
Oh, when you get the Congr... Do hard reset.
(dont wory if you see on the screen of your PPC Radio stack or something like this isupgrading "Please wait" do your hard reset. )
Sorry for the bad English.
If have any questions ask
Hope this will help.
Ok, I have ER2003EDIT installed but when i tried to open ms_.nbf and it said i had the wrong password and asked me to enter one.
Any idea what it could be??
Thanks!
I think that you must not use the autodetect ROM, but the specific filetype: ms_.nbf. This worked for me...
