Hi
I've updated my XDA2 to 2.02 thanks to the information supplied by DCS (as always excellent work Mr!), but I've since realised that I would perhaps be better off with a 2.06 with O2 customisations - even if I then wish to remove the less desirable aspects.
Can someone please point out the easiest way of doing this? It's worth noting I have to change the O2 to CDL whenever I update.
Cheers
Anthony
The best idea would be to combine 2.02 with 2.06, to do this you will need a copy of the extended ROM you used when you upgraded to 2.02. Download 2.06 , put it in a directory and delete the radio.nbf file and any ms.nbf(extended ROM). Copy your extended ROM from the 2.02 upgrade along with the radio.nbf that was there as well.
To combine the 2 roms, you need to make sure you have got any data you want from your phone, then master reset it and and set up your owner details, device name, and most importantly, any bluetooth pairings. Using ActiveSync, do a full backup of your phone in this state. Next you need to reflash your phne by running the 2.06 upgrade (you will need to use dcs's operatorupdate.bat to change the operator code to cdl first). When the flash is complete, hard reset it again and then enter your user details and device name, but not bluetooth this time. Put your phone in the cradle and restore your phone with the backup you made. You will then have the best of both worlds- a decent 2.06 cleartype etc along with BT handsfree profile from 2.02!
I hope this is clear, there are similar (and probably better!) instructions here, but they have been designed for an Australian XDA.

Thanks for that findus...
I'm curious though, why is it important to do the bluetooth stuff before applying 2.06? Is there something wrong with simply rerunning the upgrade with the 2.06 files?
Not sure if it's worth the extra hassle (would anyone consider it a "hassle"?) and also am I really missing that much with 2.02 compared to .06?
Cheers
Anthony
The reason for installing bluetooth devices whilst on 2.02t and backing up is because 2.06 does not support handsfree profile, only headset so it is up to you which one you need, I personally found 2.02 better than 2.06 but i like having them combined now, so I suppose it is all down to whether you can be bothered!! 2.02 is fine though, I had it for weeks and it was very stable.
Fin
I decided to take the plunge and updated it as per the instructions above.
One thing though, which applications included in the ext rom are really that necessary? From what I can see some of them aren't and also as I've got rid of a couple I now can't get it to show in landscape mode. When I go to the Screen option it has lost the options for Portrait / Landscape Left / Right.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Anthony

8-11-2004 20:57 GMT: New version V2 uploaded.
I added a small archive containing the changed ExtROM files to solve the earlier reported errors (not updating ExtROM version and not making IIWPO un-installable).
Comment on IIWPO and making it un-installable: After having customized & installed IIWPO, you will have to do one of the following to make it un-installable if youre using the 1.72.902 ExtROM:
a. Another hard-reset
b. Running Version_172_902.cab from the ExtROM
NOTE: This thread is being replaced by
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am d/l'ing right now and will be installing shortly...
One request... You might want to include the cab for setting up IIWPO in case someone is installing it into the phone.
edsub Thanks.
Question tho. Can I use this for T-Mobile USA and does it fix the MMS problem ?
asking because the version says NL, isnt that the Netherlands country code ?
Thanks again
Well from first look everything seemed ok.
THese are a few of the things I have noticed since loading.
1. The ext rom version # doesn't show up in the info
2. If you use the IIWPO then it still shows in the remove list
3. The new apps from the 187 version will not install no matter what you do. (I have tried adding the ver # in the Reg, both 902, and 187 (not at same time)) Niether worked.
These are the few things that I have found since loading. If I find any more I will loet you know. Other than these I think you havea winner here!
I was wondering about the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 packages, and why you didn't include or update to them? Was there some incompatibality issue?
Thanks and great job!

Is SRS included?
SRS is not included due to the fact that I don't see any use for it personally. Since it is an ExtROM installer, you could add it yourself.
The NL is only there because some sdetting are more or less specific to the Netherlands. I had feedback on my earlier 1.72.901 package that it worked for other countries (incl USA) as well. Be prepared that the date format will be dutch by default (easy to change via settings though).
Also MMS is suposed to be working (but I have not tried it due to lack of interest in MMS)
The ExtRom# is not showing because some bug in the Version_172_902.cab. Working on that now.
IIWPO not showing in the remove programs list is a bit more difficult than it seems if you install for the first time. Normally you would boot up the device with new rom. IIWPO is NOT installed at this point. Once you have customised & installed IIWPO, you will have to do ANOTHER hard-reset (ie run the ExtRom contents again) to disable the uninstall. You could force this by hand first time to re-run Version_172_902.cab after installing the customised IIWPO. BUT as this cab is not OK, it wont work anyway. Working on that now.
I did not find the time to look into the new O2 apps. If someone finds a solutiuon here, I am more than happy to includew it in a new version.
For the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 the basic reason is lack of time. I dont know what 'extra' new there is on bluetooth in the O2 builds? OS Rom 1.72 allready has an updated BT stack that fixes most open issues. I have no experience (& interest) in MMS / streaming MMS . . .
I suppose the issue with TomTom locking up without GPS enabled is not solved with this rom ?
I know: wishful thinking..........
@Pleun: Nope. I WISH I would have solved that one!!! FYI: I tested he new TomTom GPS 3.07. It doesnt solve any locking issue and next to that makes my Headset react very slow. Also the 'Bluetooth GPS' option that is supposed to solve the locking has gone, at least with my installation. Not advisable. I reverted back to TomTom GPS 3.03.
@all: I solved the issue of not setting the Ext Rom version and making IIWPO non-uninstallable. New version V2 will be up in 10mins (incl. incremental fix for all that downloaded the version from yesterday).
New V2 is up now. See first post in thread.
Plz keep posting comments to make this upgade better

I feel like my MDA2 is a little bit slower to respond not sure why! I added PocketMVP, Belkin Bluetooth GPS, Resco Explorer 2003 V5.0 and .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP2 for Pocket PC 2003.
I am having problem with Belkin BT GPS; I got it to bond, detect the COM port (COM5) and baud rate(4800) to use but my MDA2 hangs up and had to soft reset. Any idea why?
I will try to install one by one and see what's causing it and report here.
edsub thanx for me it works great its a great improvement!
machine seems faster and no more lock-ups.
Keep up the good work (ill be following you)
p.s only one thing my battery seems to give me no more than 4 hours of on-time
4 hours is very different from my (and others!) experience. The 1.72 rom should even improve battery life.
My battery lasts for about 1,5 days (not measured but recalled from my memory) with approx 1-1.5 hours on the phone and bluetooth permanently switched on . . .
were can I download this rom from?

I have put together rom upgrade 1.72.903
This thread can be closed. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652 for the new one
Edit: The new upgrade files are now available (see refered post)
An error need help please
I downloaded the files then followed the instruction below but now I get error
the flashing process
first the devicedata is obtained from the device, with HimaGetDeviceData.exe, this gets the operatorname, and language/country code from the extended rom, sector 2 of the BDK.
Then a tool 'HimaClearJumpCode' is executed, which erases the jump at the start of the kernel. causing the bootloader to start at next reboot.
the upgrade tool then connects to the bootloader of the xda, via serial over usb. ( port \\.\WCEUSBSH001 )
warning do not just run the 'HimaClearJumpCode' program, it will erase part of your OS rom, after which you will have to repair your device by running an entire upgrade again.
First I appologize for the delay in the availability of this ROM. I was out of town on some business, and the site was down again for a certain time.
To get down to the details, this ROM is the complete set of all three .nbf files, I chose the 2.06 NK.nbf because the cleartype fonts are way better than the 2.02. The radio stack included is version 1.18, and the extended ROM (ms_.nbf) is a customized 2.06.100a, which is a mixture of the extended ROM that dcs posted, the one that came with the 2.06 ROM from the mystery guy and the official Asian 1.60.44 ROM.
I had to remove a couple of the Asian telco provider settings because there was no more space left in the extended ROM since the new versions of the software had larger file sizes than before, and the AutoConfig for Asian telcos alone takes up a lot of space too.
I still included the Extended ROM Viewer and almost all of the newer versions of the software included in the extended ROMs posted by dcs and the mystery guy.
The following telco providers were removed (due to their file sizes being the largest):
1. 1010
2. One2Free
The Socket SDIO Wi-Fi that were available in the previous ROM I posted were also removed due to the lack of space, the SPB GPRS Monitor that was provided as part of one of the extended ROMs posted was also removed. The thumbpad driver is in the extended ROM but does not auto-install, since some times it causes problems, you may install it separately by just clicking on the cab file.
The files removed are included in the .ZIP file so that they may be installed separately if desired.
I would like to thank dcs,mamaich, the mystery man and all other developers who contributed to this endeavor.

I am not too clear about the problem, you flashed your device with the ROM I posted?
This did not happen to me during the multiple times I flashed my device and my dad's device.
I am a bit puzzled here, can anyone help in this matter? ANy similar experiences?
It's so difficult to download! :? I must have tried at least 6 to 7 times. Each time it just stop there.
hi people, i m new to this forum and new to xda2. Just wondering, how do u guys download and load up all the upgrades? hope u pros can give me some pointers.... thanks in advance
Finally managed to download the file. Do I need to do anything before installing the new ROM?
I had once tried to upgrade my unit (blame it on initial enthusiasm, I'd seen all these talks about upgrading to newer ROM versions everywhere on the net that I downloaded an upgrade 2 weeks before I actually bought my device) with a ROM version I had downloaded from O2's UK (The unit was bought from singapore/Honkgkong...Asia ROM presumably)site which naturally and the consequenses were very depressing , I was left with a dead machine on my hands and nobody I knew could be of any help. Anyway that had been taken care of a couple of days back when it reflashed at an authorised service centre.
Well that being that , now that its working fine and now that I see all this talk about windows mobile 2003 SE here I have this irresistable urge to try upgrading mu unit to run SE.
A couple of things before I try to get adventurous
1)How do I do a backup of of EVERYTHING ON MY MACHINE ( Original BASIC/Just out of the box/First time run software included ) So that I don't have to take a week off work just to get the unit reflashed.
2) How do I do a restore all of the backed up data on my device if the 2003SE upgrade doesnt work? From what I have learnt , it isnt anything like a regular computer where just about anyone can format boot and reload windows if it crashes.
I figure a dead PPC is like a regular computer with a dead bios.
I can understand that this post is about 5 times the length of a usual post here but I just had to get all my backup plans in place before I jump off a cliff.
you can use either the x-backup in the xda itself and making a complete back up to your sd or mmc card or make a backup via active sync on the tools menu

What's the BT software on the new rom? Widcomm or MS?
We currently have 3 NK.nbf WM2003SE ROMs to play with and I've stumbled on a way to create a better version out of the 2 English ones:
2.02.t1WWE : 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)
PROS:
Stable - no reboot hangs or delays
The faster of the English versions
BT Handsfree - allows the Handsfree profile to be activated
CONS:
ClearType - not worth using in this version
BT Handsfree - early version, can disable radio randomly. Blocks activesync when activated and if Handsfree mode isn't enabled, Headset mode won't work.
BT Profile - plays hide'n'seek
Newer "Outlook integrated" MMS clients not sending/receiving correctly
No Media Player 10
2.06.00WWE : 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)
PROS:
ClearType - looks and works great
BT Headset - no handsfree option but works seamlessly with activesync
CONS:
Unstable - can lock-up in OS & suffers hangs/delays on reboot
BT Profile - plays hide'n'seek
Newer "Outlook integrated" MMS clients not sending/receiving correctly
No Media Player 10
:!: NOTE: This is only my experience of the above and you may not have experienced any/some of the above
Combining ROM's
By first flashing with the 2.02.t1WWE ROM (& 1.18.00 Radio + Extended ROM), then setting up BT and detecting all devices but before adding additional software, I ran an activesync backup. The reason I used activesync was to capture the registry and system state but not an image of the whole ROM.
I then flashed with the 2.06.00WWE ROM + 1.18.00 Radio & Extended ROM, but this time I restored from the activesync backup. Rather than what I expected (everything good about 2.06 to be blown away), activesync restore did a merge of the 2 registries and overwrote the files not in use.
The end result came as a surprise:
I now have a version 2.06.00WWE that doesn't hang/delay on reboot, runs faster, looks great with cleartype and now has BT Handsfree as an option. Handsfree works great, though still blocks activesync via BT (a reboot auto disables it) but it doesn't interfere with the radio now.
Are you sure they didn't just rename BT Handsfree in 2.02t1WWE to BT Headset in 2.06.00WWE? (same functionality, just no menu option in the later)
The reason I'm posting this, is not to produce a backup file for installation, but to give those of us playing around with the ROMS's food for thought.
I'm curious what would happen if someone installed an English version, deleted Media player 9 & it's registry as much as possible, then backed up. Then installed the Chinese version (2.20.07CHS with Media Player 10) and restored the original backup over it.
Would you end up with a combined Chinese version in English with Media Player 10?
(Before you ask why I don't try it myself - I need a break so I'm going back to work :wink: )
Man!
it seems working for me also now i have 2.02 stability with 2.06 advantages (i.e clear type).
one thing,,, how did you think about it? i mean it is always advised to avoid restoring from different ROM!
thanx man :wink:
how do you restore from activesync? after a reflash, the partnership is removed right?
can you guys post step by step? thanks
Yup this is true... just folow there steps...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14240
I would love to try this but pardon my ignorance but correct me if i'm wrong.... isn't it when you do a hard reset or ROM/extROM upgrade you loose partnership with activesynch? I had this problem eversince that's why i use sprite backup. How do you restore from activesynch after loosing partnership?
The steps are outlined here, but you'll have to obtain the correct ROM's to suit your region, model & carrier.
Can we have both registries posted here?
Hi Sin,
Can you posted the vanilia registries of 2.02 and 2.06 ROM?
I will love to check the difference between both ROMs and make a stable ROM by adding registry changes after the upgrade. Many thanks.

Hi,
Noticed lots of progress with the WM2005 for XDAII project and want to congratulate everyone involved for their hardwork.
I wanted some feedback on the upgrade process from those that have done it, how did they find the upgrade process, is the device working as intended (if not, how much of the device is funtional) etc.
I am currently running my own cooked WM2003SE Rom with v1.19 Radio and it works great, everything works with out a glitch and I have not had any issues for over a year - I would like to try a copy of WM2005 in the hope that I will get the same functionality as I currently have.
The only thing putting me off right now is lack of info as to how it works, what problems are there such as not being able to downgrade if I need to etc. Just basic concerns really.
I want to get my hands on a fully working rom image for my XDAII as I do allot of pocket PC development and would like to start working on apps geared towards Windows Mobile 5.0.
Cheers,
Fz
yo this is my first post, i have only had my xdaii for about two weeks and have upgraded to wm2005, i think in some respects it is better than 2003, but it has some issues like camera button and record button not working, but there is software to resolve these issues. one other bad point is that that you cant seem to copy your contacts, there is a program calleed asukal sim manager but this doesnt work either. the way to fix it is to go into to the windows folder and find a FILE called simuploader and this does it all for you, some of the plus points is it is much easier to extend your rom, and when you install programs it gives you the option as to where you would like to save it storage program etc. to answer another question yes you can flash back to 2003 as i have gone back to 2003 se and have since changed the rom several times. I hope some of this info is ok for you......
I allreyd flashed a lot and did use a soft spl, but I do not find a proper
explanation what it is.
So, i Think it is the Bootloader ?
Can anyone tell me what a soft and a hard SPL is and does ?
For what do I need it ?
I just got my new Touch Pro bought in UK and now it is here in Germany and I want a german ROM on it as soon as it is available.

Yep your right on that assumption sir The bootloader does alot of the low level handling of the startup process when you power on the device aswell as handling the process when you flash anything to the device...im sure its far more technical than that but thats a starter explanation Essentially you NEED a bootloader for the device to work at all, the case with many of the HTC devices...other devices are different most likely.
Soft SPL: (normally referred to as SSPL) IS loaded into RAM and allows you to perform some of the operations the standard bootloader would do, naturally with some extra functionality (explained later)
HardSPL: Same sort of thing except it is flashed to the device permenantly, so it replaces the HTC bootloader in your devices flash memory.
Both of these tend to safeguard against corrupting the device by having some fancy workarounds and updates to the processes built into the HTC SPL, and the best part is that they allow you to flash ANY ROM you wish therefor allowing us to use Cooked ROMs and various updates like radio updates and etc...frees the device up quite superbly.

Perhaps some mebers feel like adding a general HardSPL page to the wiki for FAQs like this to be answered better than "Search the forum.." since we know its not that good for finding anything.
The Wiki is there for everyone to use and edit so, learn and pass it on
Just a quick question, does any of this interfere with HTC released updated ROMs? Like, when they release a new version on their site, does having HardSPL prevent you from updating?
Hello !
Thank you for your advise.
One more question:
Should I install Hard or Soft SPL ?
I want to try out many ROMS - I think Hard is better, what do you mean ?
Thank you for your help
By the way:
I am a kind of technican - working in IT for nearly 18 years starting fron Novell, Banyan Vines and DOS up to Windows Vista. Also I am a kind of apple Guru, thats why I have certainly an iPhone 2G and 3G.
For business I use HTC devices sind the first MDA. But I lost track a little sind iPhone.
As I am a technic nerc I sstarted with th the Diamond touch again and I liked the device but i swapped this week to the touch pro because of the keyboard, SD Slot an flash light. I love this device.
By the way I also have the new Samsung Omnia 900 here and an unfun Nokia E71 ( I hate this old symbian - looks like last centuty )
So good night and thank you

you can only install hardspl. the job of soft spl is to install hardspl.
do not ever try any of the following:
- with SSPL, do not flash anything other than the included SPL NBH files. as extra protection the diamond and raphael SSPL's require htchacker sign (except the version jocky edited) and will reject anything that's not an SPL.
- and do not ever try to flash SSPL as an NBH, especially if it is a diamond or raphael.
Im sorry to disagree with your "don't tell me to use the Wiki".
But this is a fairly comprehensive answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions? straight out the wiki.

There are several things.
UC is short for User Customisation; it is in all the Kaiser ROM's nowadays. l3v5y's Raph ROMs also have it.
Links: l3v5y's ROMs & Main UC Thread.
I use UC to install programs, Provisioning XML (as part of UC) to change registry settings, my xcopyce application to copy folders and active sync to copy contacts, calender etc.

Ok, thanks. Seems very complicated. Having to write XML files and such.
when running RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe, it says all information will be lost on my device. Are you sure i dont lose everything when installing Hard-SPL?

I can't say. I haven't done it, what says you will lose all the info, the RUU or the thread? If it's the RUU, then you should be OK, it's probably the standard message that the proper RUU (used for carrier ROM upgrades) has.
UC is good, takes maybe an hour or two to get setup, but once done, you don't have to do it again and it makes flashing so much fun. I started with just installing CAB's and Copying files, then went onto ProvXML for my registry settings next. The latest version of Schap's Advanced Config (3.0) can export tweaks into a Prov XML file for you. It is worth it if you flash your ROM as often as I do.

I do love this kind of stuff. Any new gadget i get, i like to do this kinda stuff with it. But its a little overwhelming in this case .
So, using UC, i can set it up so that my settings, such as email accounts, wifi networks + passes, notify settings, etc, as well as all the programs are restored after a ROM flash?
To do this i have to manually go through my registry to find the entries for each of these settings though? No way to just extract my current unflashed devices settings to a file that the new ROMs then use? That would be nice

We are getting a little off topic of the OP now but...
Any tweaks done with schaps Advanced Config can be easiler exported using a "export" menu option.
If you export your registry after flashing, and again after you have all your settings setup right, you can Diff then using a Diff Program and copy the changes into your ProvXML file. Most PPC Regedit programs can export.
Any more on UC, I'd have a read of the UC thread and ask any questions in there. Myself and l3v5y keep and eye on it most of the time and should be able to help fairly quickly.

Hello
So my Threat became quite interesting.
One last question foe me.
What File should I download to HARD SPL my Touch Pro.
Is there a file which includes all ? I mean I do not have to modify files inside the cabinet or so ?
Is there a fast link ?
Thank you for all the help - now lets start using the Touch - weekend is near

lol, sure, there is only one package, and you simply click the EXE and it goes

Is it possible to use those backup softwares? Like Spb Backup for example that say "ROM Upgrade Mode — now it's possible to restore data after the ROM upgrade"? Instead of UC and such?
there is a IPL initial program loader (sort of bios)
a SPL secondary program loader (kinda like the ntloader)
and there is a service mode (3 color screen) (the flashprog)
then we have a RUU remote unit upgrader
mft masterfile table
mbr master boot record
and some other shizzle
the device switches the output of the internal usb when device is in 3 colorscreen to a service mode which allows it to overwrite the internal flashdrive .. pretty neat as what it actually does is switching to an internal flashprogrammer which programs the internal flashdrive. this is the same process as is used for your pc at home to update the bios.
the CID celloperator identification code (used for blocking certain rom upgrades)
enjoy..
Soft SPL quesiton
I have a SPV M700 and it's unlocked. I want to install Schaps rom. I have the folowing SPL version 1.07.000. I have't managed to install hard spl. Can I use soft spl to flash it? Can I permanently brake it?
