Hi. I currently have a Uk O2 xda2 on version 1.72.181. wm2003
I would like to upgrade my device to the best & latest version suited for it.
Whilst experienced with computers in general, the whole area of rom's extended rom's, cooked rom's and radio stacks is new to me.
Can someone make a recommendation as to which rom I need, where I can find it, and exactly how to go about the upgrade. Also I would be very grateful I you could tell me what tools I will need.
Also is it possible to install wm2005?
upgrading
hey ryanxda2,
most people are having this upgrading problem!
but i have windows mobile 2005 and it is a great rom no matter what people say.
if you want to cheak things out the topic that started this wm2005 search is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18584&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
but if you want wm2005 and the latest leaked version of activesync 4.0 i have an upload site: http://www.freewebs.com/doglover7337/wm2005.rar
the file is commpressed in a rar format and you will need "winrar" a great commpression program for free http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
inorder to install wm2005 on to your ppc you need to sync your ppc with your computer and then run the file called:"HimaUpgradeUt.exe"
this program should autodetect your device and upgrade its rom. after the rom upgrade you need to hard reste your device, that is a little diffrent in wm2005:
you need to hold down power+camera+record buttons and press the reset button then let go, a menu should pop up, then go down to the last one and select yes (this can be done using the camera and the record buttons) after that press the scroll button hard and it should reset your device but before you connect your ppc to your computer you need to install activesync 4.0 because it has the driver for the new wm2005, after thats all done you should be set to explore all of the new rom and activesync!
There are some things I have to tell you about first:
this rom is in its alpha stage, but it is the most stable rom in alpha stage i have seen
also i have to tell you that sms ans mms are not there but you can still receive them, we are working on getting the mms and sms functions in the new rom
I recomend that you atleast try this new rom, if you don't like it you can always go back to you old one or 2003se, who knows you might love it and stay with this new rom (i did)
good luck and have fun!
hello,
I have a TSM500 (is the Telefonica name of the HTC, XDAII...)
Do you think that everything it is working now it will work:
TTN 3.07 (with a serial port connected TTN GPS device)
Phone (Movistar provide in Spain the mobile-phone operation)
SMS (I'm not using MMS...)
Microsoft OutLook (Sync with PC and Exchage Server under a VPN)
I have spent a lot of hours configuring and make it all work together and I have read wm2005 is slower and unstable...
Destroyer you have recomended to install it... For me, the only reason is to use in better conditions the BT stack (now, after upgrading ROM, EXT-ROM adn RADIO I got a non usable BT situation, that force me a hard reset and re-install all the programs again to become at the start point situation.
Do I get this improved BT functonallity: BT-Phone and system Audio, BT-Sync, BT-Ethernet access?
Thankyou
Best WM2003SE upgrade for UK 02 xda II
Thanks for that, I appreciate the response, and will download wm2005, i'll try wm2005 once I get a non essential unit to try it on. In the meantime, I'll be looking for advice & instructions on the best wm2003 se upgrade for my unit, what I need to consider etc etc.
Does anyone one have any suggestions on this?
I tried installing wm2003se yesterday. It wasn't too painful, and the UI looked a bit nicer, but there were two problems which I faced. Fisrstly, phone calls would default to the speaker phone whenever you made or answered them. Secondly, when putting it on standby, you couldn't wake the device from standby. A soft reset was required to get the device usable again.
I followed this thread here (gave up after reading about 20 pages of it). But it appears that I wasn't the only one who had those problems. I don't think they got as far as a solution either.
Wm2003se
Thanks Timmeh, I'll have alook at that thread now.
Just so that I've got it straight what version of each part should I be looking to install,and can I obtain them all in that thread?
I had tried an upgrade about 2 months ago which went onto my device ok, but some auto script in config file, kept popping up a dialog box, which I couldn't close, so I couldn't move to other functions!
Thx
When I tryed the upgrade, I didnt change the extended ROM, so when it went through installing everything, it all came up with "This program may not display properly...", which isn't a problem in itself. The problem comes from not being able to press the button to close the dialog, but you can press on the nav key, which works a treat. (The reason for this is in the config.txt file in the extended ROM, which tells the phone what order to run things, such as installing cab's, after a hard reset. A file called TPdisable.exe is run before installing everying else, which disables the touch pad.)
There are 2 options when upgrading from that link in the forum. One was posted by DC, and all you have to do is unzip it and run the upgrade exec (while ya phone is in the cradle). The other was posted by a mistery person, which is an exe installer.
DC's does not include an extended ROM (all the other apps that get installed with windows, like camera drivers), so using that will just use your existing exteneded ROM. The mistery mans file does have an extended rom included, however, I didnt use it, so I don't know if it's any good.
IMO, I would go with the mystery mans installer. His/hers is a slightly newer build of WM2003SE, and the extended ROM should work.
Before you do that though, it's worth getting hold of the existing ROM for your phone, so you can go back if you decide that you don't like it (as I did). You can download that from here, assuming that you have an XDA II and are on o2 uk, which your details would seem to suggest.
If you do it, let us know how it works out. I wouldn't mind maybe trying again, but as soon as I finish my dissertation, and have time to make a proper effort at my own custom extended ROM.
Thanks Timmeh, I'll give that a try now. I'll let you know how I get on
I get this message on the PDA (s200 G4)
"Cannot execute repllog.exe"
when upgrading to WM6.
I have tested the installation of all the different upgrades (latest versions only) on this wiki.
It also shows when/after making the hard reset.
It has occured in all of them, as far as I remember. But recently in: Prophet_4.0.0.0.4_PV (which has the greatest looks and features/applications and pretty good performance).
It doesn't seem to have any advers affect, but still - it worries me.
Any idea about what it is?
mHumle
PS: Thanks for the very fine wiki about upgrading

Hi there.Happened exactly the same to me.But it seems to don´t have any problem with it.
I quit having the repllog.exe problem
I did have the same problem and tried every thing that came to my mind until I discovered that it started to happen when installing SPB Time, a nice program but had to quit using it because to me, it was generating the problem.
If anyone has a different solution and still uses SPB Time, please let us know.

Did you try to Hard Reset? (I think no)
Press and Hold Camera + Commanager botton and then press Soft reset botton
After that , It will become black screen with some white text , Then press Call botton.
In after few seconds you Prophet will come to life again.
PS. Hard reset may erase all of your data in phone memory.

First off all, I feel sorry for you that your device stopped working the way it should, I mean that. But I wonder why you start this thread claiming the some ROM has killed your Prophet and then tell us that fooled around quite a bit with all kind of unrelated software and flashing.
Did you tried to find out what really causes your trouble? Did you reflash and installed the 3d party software one by one to isolate the one that to blame?
For what it's worth, I'v red about problems with SPB Diary somewhere in one of the treads. As I don't use it myselve I don't recall any details.
Of course!
Even if Hard Reset is not work , You can still flash your phone to Other rom such as PDAVIET , gollum Touch rom or WM5 official rom.
One thing you must check is just what version of the rom (G3 or G4).
ps. I use radio rom 2.69 for a while with no problem. Now I use 2.61 because it use less battery than 2.69 and have more stable on phone signal.(with my operator , True in Thailand)

Just a hunge... did you reset while connected to USB (Active Sync)? That is known to be a problem whit all the WM6 ROM's. It seems that all that helps is an proper HR. And as I added to my previous remark, SPB Diary seems to be a troublemaker too, when used with the new WM6 ROM's, but as I don't use it, I'am not familar with the details.

no, not after Active sync
It is random , it means a little time, after soft reset or after power off device my Jamin load correctly and in more times it hang and stop in Blue page !!
It is very wonderful !!
I am now Hard resetting my device
It is too hard for me to hard resetting my device because all program that i installed are deleted
I don't use backup software because I belleave if a problem is in my device in backup file is come too.
Hello,
If you want to use your phone and not mess around with it , just stop upgrading ,downgrading!! I really mean it. yes of course a hard reset will delete all your files and programs but if you want to care about these stuff , you really have to consider to stop messing with your device. I think if one day your prophet die, you are the person responsible not any ROM.
Just read the wiki / forum, use the search button and you will find what is good for your device, and what's gonna kill your device
about SPB Diary, I've been using this program since i bought my prophet, and i've had no problem with it so far. if you read the forum you will know that after upgrading or downgrading your radio rom you MUST perform a hard reset.
good luck my friend.
I am sorry to hear that.

I have the same problem, but my prophet not kiled!!! I'm sure is problem in some programs. I remove the battery and sim card. Wait some time, and back. After that prophet boot normal, but everytime when I power off (and sometimes after softreset) i have to do that. Somtimes help just softreset. I have same problem (not always) with PDAVIET and Gullum rom after installing 3d party software.
Sorry for my english.
I'm realy sad to hear about your problem with the phone but to say that it's the rom is a bit to much although some thing in the rom might give problems it's know that the 6 button homeplug is causing frezz on some devises.... but I have not expirienced any frezz on startup myself... and I have used TNT and all gullum roms .... so maybe the problem is related to IPL/SPL or radio rom not shure or even 3dr party software.. if it's not IPL/SPL or radio rom it must be 3dr party software because I have not installed any of them except for PocketCM by tena

Which programs did you installed?
after 6-7 programs i installed my prophet hang in blue screen page !
I try to load windows after reset my device about 10 times with its pen, and uninstall new program i installed :Resco photo Viewr 6.33 professional edition,SMS group,Sprite mobile...but the problem not solved...and i hard reset my device again
if the problem occur in your device too because of these programs (such as sprite mobile (for prevention of stealing and thief mobile) then we can say the problem is because of this program (sprite mobile-but i know this program is compatible with WM6 ) .
If not it is a bug in TNT ROM that can't install more programs.
or we can say Soft reseting is limited in this ROM for example if soft reset is more that 30 times the windows not loaded !!!
I don't know, but it is a bug in this ROM !! so if this bug is in other W6 ROMs I come back to Aserg AKU 3.13

Dear Gullum
we know that PPC is good for world of different program can be installed in these devices. and we know the programs in the ROM is not sufficient so we installed needed programs.
I know TNT 4 is full of application that non of the other ROMs don't have them.
I try to check some programs I installed in Prophet (TNT-4 -jamin)
the Sprite Mobile program work well, not any other program i installed, only Sprite Mobile...The device work well.
So it is a bug in ROM that can't initializing more program installed then windows not loaded !
if a ROM has this Bug we can't use it !!
we should check all WM6 ROMs and installed more that 10 famous Programs and soft reset every time we install a program.
So which WM6 ROM do u offer to install in our devices to work stable and correctly without this Huge bug that can't install programs !! ?
Thanks for your guidance.
The problem not solved
I installed some programs in my device (Jamin) but this problem appeare after installation, I installed one by one and accure for new problem but after softrest this problem appeare again
GULLUMN plz install some program in ur new ROM if work then put it in public.
only cube & touch version of ROM is not sufficient, we should can install programs on our ROM for more usage !
any body can help?

my english is bad
I think i understand ur problem and yes its the rom to blame after flashing a next rom I did not have this problem well the solution was when u install any programs to your storage card remove the .ink files from Windows/Programs folder of all applications thats installed on the SD card and from startup folder after doing that it works well but as soon as I installed a program or tryed to make a shortcut it gives problems I suggest that you ether flash a next rom and problem salved or get a rom cook to edit the rom and fix it up to remove this bug hope it helps you can try it u got nothing to lose
Hi folks,
since some weeks i have the nerving problem, that my neo stops booting. That means that i see the second boot screen - not the one with the kernel information on the left top. And then nothing happens. The only thing i can do is: hard reset and re-install my apps...
i've tried several ROMs, for example the PDAViet Touch 4.0.0.0.6, the ProphetTouch by Gullum V6, the current Nanoscopic Rom by Gullum: Everytime the same boot problem.
And everytime i installed it correctly, that means: first the downgrade with my (o2) ROM, then the upgrade, and then the finishing Hardreset.
Does anyone has an idea to fix this? Or is there another solution instead of hardresetting the NEO everytime?
every help is welcome, because that really annoys me :/
I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Does your device starts up at some point or not all, not even with WM5?
I have the same problem with the original 'theme' but not if i change the theme to others, by example, the black light theme that you can select in gullum touch VII work great.
Regards.
I've recently tried a couple of WM6.1 roms on my 838pro (Pays 3.05 full and RanDomIze Final Storm v2.10") and they both work for a while, but after some time (twice in the middle of an installation, but not always) most of my shortcuts stop working, and if I soft reset the device won't boot (doesn't reach windows loading).
Is anyone aware of this happening before, and any way to fix it?
Thank you!
I upgraded to 6.1 and it worked fine, but after a few hours while installing a game it basically did what you described.
Now it won't boot into the OS, what did you do to get an OS workin again?
I figured out how to reinstall WM6.1, I tried another release and it did the same thing. It's weird it works fine until you sync it with a pc and start transfering things, both times it was after transfering from my xp desktop but my Vista Laptop seems to not cause this corruption, i'll keep testing
Have the same problem with a large number of 6.1 OSes. Found yo can sync with your computer BUT only leave it for as long as you'"re doing stuff then disconnct. this seems to stop it stuffing up my phone as the ONLY thing you can do once the OS dies is reload the OS with another flash( had an error message come up saying that a program wsnt signed with a proper cert or some such and it automatically goes back to factory reset). Since only syncing when I need to it seems to not have problems. Just means I need another power point to recharge my hermes. Cheers.
I had the same problem until I loaded CRC's 6.1 V8. I have been running it for about a week with no problems at all. Be sure to delete all devices in Activesync before you connect to use Activesync.

Yeah, that's the only one that's kept working for me so far!
i do suggest that you guys do a check for bad blocks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
although i have heard that a rom flash *might* be able to fix bad blocks, dont take my word on that though
with the bad blocks, if you do have it, wouldn't it not matter if you are running wm5, wm6 or wm6.1? they would all crash, mess up eventually?
I will try checking mine for bad blocks, but I didn't have any problems with wm5, upgraded to wm6.1 PAYS, had constant freezes, crashes, hard resets, etc...this was after I installed programs. If I didn't install anything, it would be ok. Although it's not like installed crazy programs, the usual google maps, today agenda, etc... maybe three or four programs.
Now downgraded to wm6, installed more things, no problems. (knock on wood)
it could be possible that you just had a bad flash with the 6.1 rom. or it could be just possible that one of your apps did not agree too well with 6.1. happened to me too, i somehow forgot that i had wm6.1 and installed an app that was not compatible with 6.1
