how can i flash my rom to wm2003se....can anyone guide...izzit using the xda developers 3rd ver.zip or sin merge v2.0???
Read all the posts and decide for yourself which one is best to suit your needs. None of the ROM are perfect by any means.
Inproper flashing or mistakes in the flashing would render your unit useless. So do take note of the disclaimer carefully. Ultimately, you are responsible for what you do.
Just a note. Most of the questions and problem faced are already answered in the forum. So do read all of them and do not panic if your device failed to upgrade and become useless. Do a search in the forum and read more.
All the best in your quest for the rom upgrade.

Hi Folks,
o2 Germany has now published an upgrade to ROM version 1.60.52 GER.
http://hilfe.o2online.de/srvs/DATA/...download/xda_software/neu/xda_16052ger_o2.exe
THIS VERSION IS GERMAN ONLY (ALTHOUGH INSTALLER IS IN ENGLISH), SO ONLY UPGRADE WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD COMMAND OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE OR INTEND TO STUDY ANOTHER FOREIGN LANGUAGE!
o2 kept us waiting for a long time, but it looks like it was worth waiting and some old problems (like HZ-Indicator; Bluetooth etc.) have been fixed (at least they tried to!).
Have fun, any comments on the new version are highly appreciated!

Hi!
when i extract extended ROM image file, it can't be accesed by ROM editor from Wiki.. what's wrong?
now that we have thsi update, the question is: do we get a wm2k3se update and if so, when?
Um... is the language in german, or in english, or can it be switched to english?
First Upgrade leads to "Country Error" - Downgrade
After reading some postings in a German forum I already knew about the problem for those using XDAII with T-Mobile ROM 1.60.00 GER:
The update program won't start, displaying "Country error" (or sth. like that). This problem is solved by downgrading to T-Mobile 1.03.00 (which can be downloaded on the same page as the upgrade). After that upgrade works fine, leading to:
ROM-Version: 1.60.00GER
ROM-Date: 12/03/03
Radio-Stack: 1.10.00
Protokoll-Vers: 1337.18
ExtROM-Vers: 1.60.52 (attached)
Compared to the German T-Mobile 1.60 ROM, the radio stack seems to be improved (from 1.06.01 to 1.10.00) and the o2 ExtROm was updated (from 1.03.27 to 1.60.52). Also some good news for the o2 subscribers in Germany using the XDAII: The Homezone control seems to be fixed -until now I did not spot any problems.
Enjoy (and report bugs)...
HI Is this safe to use on the UK XDA II?
Should I wait until the uk release?
The only thing that I am waiting for mainly is a Bluetooth handsfree profile.
@oliven_99
How's your german... 'cause this is a true german update ;-)
links für downgrade pls
"The update program won't start, displaying "Country error" (or sth. like that). This problem is solved by downgrading to T-Mobile 1.03.00 (which can be downloaded on the same page as the upgrade). After that upgrade works fine "
Where can we download T-Mobile 1.03.00
Pls post the link for the german T-Mobile 1.03.00 downgrade because I also got the Country Error!
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/company/t-mobile/mda_2_ver_10305.zip
But remember: Downgrade and Upgrade is in German!
It works
Many Thanks!
Does anyone knoews why the ext. ROM Version 1.60.52 GER can not be opened, edited with Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editor from Wiki?
Homezone Indicator
Cool!!!
The homezone indicator seems now to work stable!
Well done, O2 Germany
CAUTION!!!
Today I got shocked when I tried to modify the ExtROM and almost ruined it. After the common way with ER2003edit did not work out, I tried to downgrade the ExtROM to 1.03.05 (T-Mobile) with the old HimaUpgradeUt that came with that version.
After doing that, the XDA did not work anymore, just showing "serial USB 1.1". After that I tried to flash my cooked ExtROM (merger out of the latest ExtROM and some other cabs), what left my XDA still without function. Then slowly panic arose and I flashed the latest, complete upgrade (1.60.52) again, what led to a standard & working XDAII.
Now I am happy that I did not ruin the device, but still looking for a way to modify the ExtROM. Maybe it is time for those who really know what they are doing to give a little hint to the masses, how this can be solved...
INSTRUCTIONS: Homecooked (locked) ExtROM with o2 GER 1.60.52
Okay, finally I figured out, how to flash the new version with my own ExtROM:
If you are upgrading your XDAII from the MDAII 1.60 ROM, please prepare your XDAII for flashing by downgrading to MDAII 1.03 ROM as explained above. Otherwise you will get a country error.
1. download xda_16052ger_o2.exe from o2 Germany
http://hilfe.o2online.de/srvs/DATA/...download/xda_software/neu/xda_16052ger_o2.exe
2. download ER2003Edit
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit
3. download tool Decode extended ROM below (thanks Jos!)
4. use WinRAR to extract the upgrade files from xda_16052ger_o2.exe (you'll get six files: 3 Hima* and 3 *.nbf)
5. unzip files from Decode extended ROM to a separate folder and add ms_.nbf (from step 4) and run decode.bat
6. after decoding, you can open the file ms_.nbf with ER2003Edit, modify the ExtROM-Files and splash images.
7. after modifying, save and run encode.bat, but only perform the encoding step, afterwards copy ms_.nbf back to the files extracted in step 4
8. now start HimaUpgradeUt.exe and flash XDAII as usual, but with your individual ExtROM
(According O2 this step can take up to 1 1/2 hours!)
This upgrade worked out with my German XDAII with (locked) ExtROM. In former versions of the upgrade utility it was possible, to upgrade the ExtROM only, one just had to remove the unwanted *.nbf before upgrading. But now it looks like only a full upgrade will lead to a working XDAII. Otherwise it will be dead but can be recoverd by giving a full upgrade with all three parts.
I will certainly only be held liable for ruining my own XDAII - what you do to your gemstone is on your own risk. There might be easier ways, please drop a note if you find one...
New splash screen...
Just to make it complete:
While installing the new ROM I noticed that there is a second splash image, which is changed to the old one after executing O2DECustomize.sa.CAB. As I liked that new splash screen better, I have changed it within the cab file and removed some other useless example files.
Just replace the old O2DECustomize.sa.CAB in your ExtROM with the one below or copy to and execute on your XDAII to change splash screen (will stay until the next hardreset).
The RSB-Converter is just a tool that I found while waiting for ages to get a trial key for ACDSee. Take this tool if you want to convert your individual splash screeen to the required RSB format. Find further information on creating individual splash screen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3759&highlight=splash1+nb
After creating your favorite splash image (as *.bmp, 24 bit) cut 13 pixel from the left side of the picture and paste it to the right side (after moving the big part to the left). If you don't do that your splash won't fit the screen properly.
Hi all
For those how what to save close to 2MB space in their ext-rom I have a set of updated files
O2_DE_custimized has additional the settings made in
Broadcast_GER
MIDI_GER_reg
O2_AP_DE_20040118
O2_DE
version_AKU1 which you don't need anymore.
removed is O2 movie, spash images, and O2 ringtone
additonal the regfile makes the ext-rom visible and activates cleartype by default.
CameraRD132_GER removed help file and button graphic
ClearVue233_GER removed ads/demo files
regards, Alex
At the german forum "ppc-welt-community" a user reported, that he tried the update with his xda1 an the upgrate worked.
I doubt about this...what do you mean? Should it be possible to upgrade the xda1?
:?
Hey, I found the entry in the forum, there is no way written that somebody actually manged it or was so stupid to try it.
I think it won't even start, as the bootloader are not the same and the UpgradeUtility will (hopefully) not start at all.
There is an upgrade to WindwosMobile2003 for XDAI this is what he writes about, this is not the upgrade which is here talked about.

Hi Guys,
i downloaded the himalaya update for win mobile 2003. Now I have a problem. The phone which was 1.72.01GER, extROM 1.72.184, radio - 1.17.00 now has become 2.02.t1WWE, radio 1.18 (NO EXTROM version),but the extended ROM is still in german and will not let the new version install. I have to rest the PDA to use it. But most of it seems to work well. I have tried to install the 1.72.181 WWE version, but I get langage id errors (I tried GER, WWE).
There was a note with the installation that said do not let TDxxxx.exe run, in config.txt. I have no idea were to find the file.
please help.
Could it possible to erase all of the rom and install a new version altogether? or erase the ext rom alone? If yes then HOW????
I am not using O2's services in India.
Thanks a million.
Hope what i have written makes some sense.

Search around for ExtROM posted by ZeroExtreme, DCS or SIN. It's probably zipped up or in .EXE file. But the final file you are looking for is ms_.nbf.
Put it together with your ROM nk.nbf file and re-run the upgrade again.
You can skip the RADIO .nbf file to save some time.
thanks Henry. Will try your solution and let you know.
Can someone help me with this please:
I have just upgraded my M1000 to WM2003 SE using the guide on this forum. It all works perfectly apart from when I try and install an extended ROM - from the same sit...it tells me this:
'The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows mobile software'
The problem is the TP is inactive at this stage...so what can I do to continue the installation?
Thanks
Hi
That's preety sh...y situation.
One way to get around this is to edit your installation CABs with WinCE CAB manager and modify their winCE version information (so WM2003SE doesn't say they're old). Or: (simplier) just remove tpdisable.exe and tpenable.exe from extrom (or from config.txt if you have any in extrom). that will cause touch screen not to be disabled during extrom cabs installing.
Have fun.
If you're having problem in getting out from situation you're in, just put device in bootloader mode, place in cradle and reinstall Extrom with original shipped update. (you can delete nk_.nbf and radio_.nbf so that upgrade utility installs only extrom from ms_.nbf)
have fun.
Nice one thank you.
Hi All,
I have just flashed Artemis ROM in my HTC HD2.
I have found a bug (I believe), when I try to increase volume "during incoming/outgoing calls" , the phone hangs. Otherwise it works well.

It is easy, just download the radio version you want from here. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 like I think you do.Do not flash this "Leo_RADIO_2.07.51.22_2" that is in the list of radios in the first post of the thread as it will brick a T-Mobile HD2. Once you have your radio downloaded just follow Samsamuel's instructions from the other thread to flash via bootloader to flash the radio it is just like flasbing a ROM but it is just the radio.
Edit: Matter of fact do not flash any of tbe following radios from that thread as they all will brick a T-Mobile HD2.
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.50.11
Leo_RADIO_15.36.50.07U_2.09.51.03
Leo_RADIO_15.31.50.07U_2.07.51.05
Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05
Leo_RADIO_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22
Hi,
Thanks for links and replies. But I still think if something can be tweaked through resgistries why to go for fresh Radio ROM installation. It might fix this but have some other issue.
I might be wrong.
Regards,
Ankur
You should read Sir Sternas' post #1 in Artemis thread carefully.
There is written:
NOTE 4 : USE ver 5x.x GEN V (or old ver 4x.x GEN IV) ONLY with SPL 3.03.0000 and Radio 2.15.50.14 from latest stock LEO-S 3.14.
For Artemis there is no need of HSPL.
1. remove HSPL
2. download STOCK ROM 3.14 from HTC homepage by entering your serial number
3. flash downloaded STOCK ROM (this will install SPL3.03 and radio 2.15.50.14)
4. hard reset after first startup
5. flash Artemis with SSPL
6. hard reset after first startup
that's it
Freezes by changing volume level are well known by presence of HSPL1.66 or HSPL2.08 or wrong radio version caused by wrong flashing method.
EDIT: I've seen you other thread, now it is easier for me to see what's wrong.
Ignore the steps above.
1. keep HSPL3.03 installed with HSPL4.exe
2. download STOCK ROM 3.14 from here
3. download LeoAdvancedRUU from here
4. extract your downloaded STOCK ROM file with 7-zip or something similar
5. copy the RUU_signed.nbh file to the same folder where LeoAdvancedRUU is located
6. remove your SD
7. connect your HD2 with ActivSync or WindowsMobiledeviceCenter to your PC
8. run LeoAdvancedRUU as Administrator
9. choose option 2 Custom RUU and select the RUU_signed.nbh file
10. select next and confirm all following questions
11. do hard reset after first start up
12. download Artemis from its thread
13. extract the file with 7-zip or something similar
14. copy the RUU_Signed_xxxx.nbh file to the same folder where LeoAdvancedRUU is located
15. connect your HD2 with ActivSync or WindowsMobiledeviceCenter to your PC
16. run LeoAdvancedRUU as Administrator
17. choose option 1 Regular RUU and select the RUU_Signed_xxxx.nbh file
18. select next and confirm all following questions
19. do hard reset after first start up
20. Now you have functional Artemis
21. delete the folders Program Files and Application Data on your SD by using a card reader
22. insert your SD
23. done
I also installed Artemis v56 WWE. No Bug is found yet. I can volume up/down while phone call without hanging up.
If you don't flash the latest radio, you might encounter other bugs later.
