hi all,
I am looking to upgrade my himalaya to wm2005.I was scared to death when i was upgrading my device to 2003se, but with the help of xdajojo& others, I was able to upgrade very easily with diamond1.2 from omegared.Now I have been reading on how to upgrade to 2005 by xdajojo but to be frank, despite the beautiful way everything has been arranged, I cant understand most of it...I did try to upgrade but then I got the country id error(I have no idea what that means), I reffered to certain posts but that was all alien language to me :? .I really wish I could upgrade to wm2005, with all the talks around about how good the feel is i just cant wait, but the procedure seems difficult.I am also concerned about the RAM problem, as I dont understand most of the discussions about that(am I the only fool here? ).Anyway, is there a simpler way to do all this like we did with diamond or I would just be deprived of the cool wm2005?
Please guys I need help on this.Thanks eveyone.

nk.nbf (Direct link) I made a direct link to a other ftp
Than read this topic: (Tread Url)
It's very easy actually. Remember, Windows 2005 is still very buggy. Don't put your screen into Landscape, If your do a softreset the screen is back to Portrait and the "actually" screen is still in Landscape!!
Check out the XDA FTP folder for Himalaya2005. There is the new version with the full RAM.
Download the .rar file from within this folder, unzipp it on your PC into a folder, then run the .exe file within this folder. Done
Of course, you first have to put your XDAII into bootloader mode before you run the .exe file. (bootloader mode: Powerbutton, resetbutton + directional pad left).

Hi,
I have upgrade it to WM2005. But my SDIO wifi not working and the storage memory is only left 9mb. Is there anything to be done after the upgrade? What about those people discussing Ramdisk or something like that and those .cab file?
Thanks
rmhtoh, have you upgraded with the latest FULL RAM version? I think you still used the old limited RAM version. Check out the FTP folder Himalaya2005. The new version is there.
That will solve the memory problem. You don't need the RAM disk anymore.
For the SDIO WLAN, download the SMARTPHONE driver from socket. There is another post in this forum about it.

I dont think you can land to bootloader screen without pressing the power button.
to get into boot loader mode
just run the setup once with the hima clearcode file and then u will land up in bootloader mode. and then it will give error and then run the setup and it will work..
cheers..

Yeah, just make sure you put this file (HimaClearJumpCode.exe) in the same folder (on the PC) and execute HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
WARNING: Do not copy HimaClearJumpCode.exe to your Pocket PC!!!
If it fails, try it again and will go through just fine the second time.

Internet Explorer works trough USB (ActiveSync)
I cannot make hard reset but I can put it in bootloader mode.
I only have been one hour proving it.
At the moment he is everything.

Tell us something about the speed of the system and the space it takes...
Regards,
Primoz
p.s. Hope it will be soon released a version for the magician :wink:
Some screen captures
I have few installed programs but I think that the speed is very similar.
I do not understand very well as Magneto uses the memory, you have 14,57MB of ROM (storage) to install programs but you cannot install them in the RAM.
You can see 24,35MB of RAM but I believe that Magneto uses all the RAM, only who deal with form different those 24.35 from the 100 rest that we cannot see.
Resco file explorer cannot accede to Windows or temp but microsoft file explorer if it can.
Parrot CK3000 works fine.
About backpack: battery and TV/monitor output works but CF slot dont works.
Is it still using the MS bluetooth stack ? Any improvement on bluetooth function ?
Yes, it is MS BT, but now it appears a new menu, "COM Ports"
IMPORTANT: I have upgrade to Magneto using himaupgradeut_197.exe and the original nk.nbf file (without patching)
It has worked to the first time and I have not had any error of identification.
Also I have left the Storage empty before beginning the update.
what does the "patch" do anyway?
where did you get this version can you upload your version? or share it?
I heard that it i impossible to downgrade to 2003se is that true?
what do you advice: try it or not try it until its officially released(It is beta right?)
thx

It changes the filename of file "DevAuth.exe" in a way that it can't be executed anymore before start.
This application checks the hardware in some way to determine if the device is allowed to use the software. Maybe some of you have a device that matches this "authentication".
What about BT voice call?
Hi
"Parrot CK3000 works fine."
Does it mean that you can originate a call from BT device? Voice dial or smth. like this?
Or it just receiving calls and you can hear and microphone is working?
Making of voce calling over BT is one reason for me to upgrade...
can you give met the link for witch i can download it?
I have used the file nk.nbf from Xda-developers ftp.
I have returned to wm2003SE with himaupgradeut_197.exe and nk.nbf file of version 2.06.
ParrotCK3000 works just as with 2,06 version and the change of the registry.
Magneto is very interesting but it specially has a great failure, when you install many programs the system becomes slower, particularly with programs like betaplayer.
If the problem of the RAM use and the access to CF slot were solved, it would be a great system.
2.06 works with AS 4.
More news:
Magneto can be reinstall again using himaupgradeut_197.exe in bootloader mode.
If we installed the programs in the SD and left frees the memory of the PDA, the system goes much more fast.
Some programs cannot be installed in the SD and they settle in the PDA. Some programs that work in wm2003 and wm2003se not admit magneto, aborts the installation.
SPB pocket plus does not settle because it says that it is being tried to install on ppc2000 and aborts the process.
Firstly, forgive me if this has been covered - I tried searching for this but didn't find an answer...
I'm trying to upgrade my Orange M1000 to WM5 and am worried that I'll totally destroy my machine, so I'm treading as carefully as possible.
I've been following the instructions from xda2jojo but came across something very quickly:
The instructions say to search for nb.nbf. I guessed this might be a typo (?) so I downloaded nk.nbf instead.
I went to patch it but I get an error: "Sorry, this file cannot be patched!"
Also, when in the ROM editor, there is no option for Orange - which should I use instead?
Am I being really dumb or is this a real problem?
Thanks

The Same Problem in TSM500
I also have the same problem
I tried to patch NK.nbf but it fails, showing the message "Sorry, this file cannot be patched"
I also tried to update my TSM500 without editing this file, but it doesn't seem to connect. And when it connects, it shows a message saying that tuere is a language error.
I used HimaGetDeviceData to get the language configuration, but un file "Devicedata.txt" there is only a "U" and nothing else. There isn´t language nor version number, nothing...
copy the file Devicedata.txt to your pc and open it there.
Use this Himaupgrade file that bypases country and telco identity
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Himalaya_SEs/HimaFiles/himaupgradeut_197.exe
I hope that this help...
Does that also get around the fact that the patch1.exe program claims that nk.nbf cannot be patched?
What this patch for ?
Sorry for question . What this patch for ?
I have no idea, but the instructions for upgrading to WM5 say you've got to patch nk.nbf.
I had the same problem
:arrow: I had the same problem ... so I did upgrade without patching .
By the way Sprite Back Up is not working .
Pocket Informant impossible to install .
Hi - get the same problem with the patch. Am treading carefully too to ensure i don't have an expensive paperweight.
Anyone know if the patch is mandatory or is the file linked via the wiki for w2k05 ROM already patched and ready to go and therefore need to skip this step according to the FAQ
Thanks
Finally updated
Finally I got my xdaII updated. I didn't patch nk.nbf, I only uploaded the file.
The xda started correctly, and after an hour since I updated it, I only saw that the buttons "camera" and "recording" (left side of tha xda) doesn't seem to work.
I think that the memory is too low. Maybe I chose a wrong version of WM2005.
Storage
Total: 14.57 MB
In use: 1.74 MB
Free: 12.83 MB
Program
Total: 24.35 MB
In use: 14.94 MB

Anybody else have the same memory problem?
Thx

patch NK.nbf but it fails
hi guys
I also have the same problem
I tried to patch NK.nbf but it fails, showing the message "Sorry, this file cannot be patched"
Can any one help us
tKS
Upgrade successful
I had the same problem. I did not patch and performed the upgrade. Everything works fine except the record and camera buttons. Vito Button mapper does not help either, but it does allow you to make the contact & calendar buttons multi-functional so they can replace the for-now missing buttons.
Good luck.
Who else to ask ?
I did PM to xda2jojo and I have no answer ? probably he is busy .
sorry to edit this....give me time to edit the procedure---xda2jojo
if you received the "Sorry, this file cannot be patched" error message ..
there are only two reason .. maybe you downloaded a corrupted nk.nbf ..
exact size of nk.nbf
1.50f.00WWE
is 33,554,496 bytes(32,769kb)
1.50f.blWWE (BuzzMobile 2005)
is also 33,554,496 bytes(32,769kb)
but if you think you downloaded it right and still receive this error ..
it only means that you downloaded a already patched ROM and no need to patch it anymore ..
just skip the procedures about patching the rom
and go directly to upgrading
now if you receive a country id Error .. just use modified Himaupgradeut.exe
read the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya_2005
to know where you can get the file
Thanks
Thanks
That's cool - thanks!
Bugger - I had to go back down to 2003SE.
No MMS, no Messenger, and no working Activesync. It looked so great too. It was the MMS and Activesync issues that were key for me though. Will wait till a definitive fix is found and try again.
Thanks for your help, though, guys. If I hadn't tried, I'd never know.
Messenger works OK on mine. Activesync works OK on my laptop, but not my Desktop. MMS doesn't work though, yet.

hi,
can anyone still running the original japanese rom on x01ht share the manner mode executable with me? i don't recall the exact name of that file but i think it was like manner_mode.exe you can find in windows directory.
i had it backed up when i made the rom switch to tytn but i somehow lost it. appreciate it if you could reply to this with that file attached.
thanks in advance...
can anybody help?
Is that the program that activates manner mode by press and holding the comm manager button?
Sorry I don't have it either, I flashed English and would love this functionality back too.
tle,
yup, that's what I'm asking for. i think it will benefit everyone if someone can upload it here.
Isn't it on x01ht ExtROM? If it's not you can probably extract it from the dumped rom.

It's definitely not on the extrom... I've converted a half dozen X01HTs from Japanese to English, and not been able to restore that function. Thanks for the links to the dumped ROM; that should help me get some of the softbank special stuff back...
- awh
hi guys,
it's not on the extrom. it's in the windows directory for sure. i once copied it on my storage card but i lost it when i screwed it by reading that micro sd card with my pc.
pof,
i realized that you might be right saying that it's on the extrom. i recall that it was not a rom file and it was a file copied into the windows directory. i think that means it was installed by one of the sb cab files on the extrom. the only cab file i did not execute was PT_SIMlock_Empty.cab.

I think it's not on this one, this just adds the "annoying screen" for simlock protection by software. If you install this then you need to install SB_USIM.cab to remove the annoying screen.

I agree - I still have the unnerving feeling that some of the content in the extrom actually points to executables somewhere in the ROM. Bad band-aid type code, but what would you expect..? I think I saw similar on the i-mate extrom where it tried to execute parts of the standrard rom after a cold reset..

Dear all members
I saw some bbs mentioned as follow
'there is a file that was conianted in X01HT WINDOWS folder
TrayIcon_MannerMode.exe'
But I'm not sure is it correct?
Manner mode is called in oversea 'silent-mode' or 'flight-mode'
I've flashed my X01HT to Dopod rom so that I can not try it.
anyway let's you try it.
BR,
krnnidtt,
i don't exactly remember the file name but i think the one you saw is the one i am looking for. it's not the "flight-mode" that turns the radio off but it is the same as the "silent-mode" and turns the vibrator on.
you can turn on the vibrator by opening the comm manager and tap on the vibrator icon, but this small exe file i am looking for does the same by just press and holding the comm manager button. when that is on, an icon sits in the tray. not a big deal but it's convenient.
i'll check the dumped rom pof advised.
Now that I understand what "manner mode" is, this might be useful for you too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1019893&postcount=1
hi pof,
thanks a lot for that. it works great and this is what i wanted. i should have searched more to find this thread myself in the first place. now i will find a way to assign this to press and hold state of the comm manager button (button 3).
ok right now i'm running the love rom on my g4 wizard. how do i reflash my original cingular rom? i know, it sounds like a nub question but here is the problem. it will flash then hang at 80% and the progress bar will turn red. it will then pick up again and continue to 95% then turn red, fail and say error 326 invalid command. i downloaded the updater directly from htc.
any ideas guys?
Yeah it doesnt work....Your now stuck with the Wizard Love Rom or you can upgrade to another rom but you cant go back to the original Cingular Rom.

All you have to do is download and install the Ext Rom cabs manually. This may still be available on the ftp. If not PM me.
It worked for me
Thanks a lot ercave1, the ROM flashed flawlessly, however the EXT ROM didn´t came up by itself. The features I´m missing are as follows:
1.- USB switch to select activesync mode to serial or RNDIS is missing, regardless this USB sync to PC (Activesync 4.5) is alive and working well.
2.- ClearVue pdf is missing, not a big loss and I really don´t care since there´s another alternatives to read and diisplay pdf documents.
3.- GetGood and in general all connection settings! I don´t give a s**t!!
4.- MIDlet Manager, big loss... I´m going to keep trying to download Risidoro_Intent_MIDlet_ Manager_V11 whenever the ftp be up and running again. So no worries.
5.- Voice Speed Dialing Settings icon in both the Program ans Setting screens are missing, however the software is running when I press the known VSD button.
6.- Cingular carrierlogo! I don´t care I have my own logo.
And I guess that´s it !
Regardless the comments above, I´d like to learn how to "extract" the correspondent EXT ROM cab files, if you guys have and advice on it would be great.
Thanks again ercave1 for the big help

Yes, this is because the Ext Rom was wiped out by the G3 Rom having been flashed on your G4 devices. I don't remember reading about a fix for this, but you may want to search through the forum. The only solution I'm aware of is to install the Ext Rom manually.
I'm glad you guys got the device running again.

2-From nk.nba?
3-Phone disk dump?

Reflashing ExtROM CID Locked
Who knows Russian go to http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=32996 & read my post

it is the first step. if someone can polish it (I do not speak English good).....
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Already many know that mun built Shell Of tool, which was capable of pouring axis into Wizard G4 with [lochennym] [Sidom], but to the enormous regret it does not know how to pour with [ekstrom].
Recently it decided to be played a little with the program of nb2nbf and to verify, is it possible by nevertheless any means to renew also Extended Of rom to CID-Locked apparatuses. And which there was my happiness, when I revealed after [pereproshivki] that he renewed.
It decided by the same method to try to flood Splash Of screen and HTC Of logo - everything proved to be very simply.
In view of the small quantity of information on the forum on [devaysu] Of wizard G4, it decided to build brief instruction on its [pereproshivke].
1. We stitch through apparatus by pure piercing - Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii+CF2.
http://rapidshare.com/files/8651097/Wizard...E_Novii_CF2.rar
2. By the program of typho5 we unpack nbf the file of piercing, which we desire to pour into the beast.
First we fill up into the folder with the program of nbf, and then start with the parameter of typho5.exe - x nk.nbf. After procedure we obtain several files, in number of which is contained OS itself, Extended Of rom, and also as a rule Splash Of screen and HTC Of logo.
([ZY]. For convenience in the use of program made [batnik]. Simply you will place nbf into the folder and will neglect typho.bat)
3. Now we gather our nbf file, each at will can include any desired components in it, naturally, except axis itself.
4. We go in very [progu] of nb2nbf and we make the following tuning:
- We establish Model ID: WIZARD
Language: it is empty
OEM: it is empty
Operator of version: it is empty
CID: it is empty ([ochen]_[vazhno]); remove the numbers, which are contained inside the field
- We establish [galochku] opposite “File of # 1”, we click on the button of survey (button with three points), we find the file Of extended Of rom' and (in the folder of typho5, the exemplary name of 9b000000-Extension.nb)
- In the field “Of start Of address” we enter 9b00000
- In the field “Of image Of name” we enter Extension Of rom (not Extended Of rom, you be attentive!!!)
- In the point “Of file of # 2” we find Splash Of screen, in the field of address we enter 92000000, in the field “of image of name” we write Splash Of screen.
- In the point “Of file of # 3” we find HTC Of logo, in the field of address we write 9d000000, in the field “of image of name” we write WITH HTC Of logo.
- We press button “Translate”
- Extended ROM is ready, it is possible to stitch through.
Unnecessary for you files it is possible simply not to include, but to insert, for example, only one by [ekstrom].
5. We place the obtained file of nbf into the folder [proshivalshchikom] and start. Procedure as with the usual piercing, lasts in all the pair of minutes.
6. We pour the axis Of shell Of tool' ohm from mun' of a.
Finale - valuable piercing

I enumerated the options since each have its own reason
1- Use Winrar to open RUU.exe and use typhoonnbfdecode.pl to extract the 10MB file (0xA00000 bytes) of the extended rom from nk.nbf
2- oops, same as 1 (and its nk.nbf- not nk.nba). hehe, my mistake
3- use pdocread.exe to read BDTL1 - or TRUEFFS_DOC1 (use my Wizard Service Tool as it can be done with a few clicks )
4- Unhide extended_rom and use Active Sync to copy the files to PC (or, once again use my tool to do the same )
cheers
Sounds great to me!

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...)

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 !
