can anyone help me with please i was trying to upgrade to wm2005 but could not get the nk.nbf files then i noticed my xda said usb v1.01 when i took it out of the charger it said serial v1.01 i have tried hard reseting and sorft reseting, i have even let the battery completely die but still it just say's serial on the screen or usb when put in the charger
For starters, you need to do lots of reading. There is no wm 2005 for the xdaIIi.
Download the original ROM from the 02 website for xdaIIi
You will be fine after this
i was under the impression that windows mobile 5.0 (magneto) was for the xda IIi
http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/Xda_IIi_LaunchROM_v1.10.124.exe
I didn't complete the procedure, but it seemed possible to install WM5 on my XDA 2i. It was put in bootlooder mode, I run the install program without modifying anything and the ROM appeared to be ok. So I assumed it would work, but like I said, I didn't complete the procedure on this phone as I didn't wanted to reinstall my software, plus some of the popular software like Pocket Informant 2005 or Agenda Fusion 7 would not install on it. I found that out earlier, when I sucessfully installed WM5 on a friends XDA 2 - not the i model
i have downloaded xda_IIi_launchRom_v1.10.124 but how do i install it i can't get my xda to connect to my laptop via activesync 4
You have to put the XDA into bootloader mode, then cradle it in start the upgrade.

A little SEARCH before posting wouldn't hurt
However:
1. Download LATEST software pack for your model, I am assuming it's O2 UK
2. Go to your ActiveSync on your PC and disable USB connection in settings
3. Plug XDA2 with SERIAL 1.06 screen on it to the cradle
4. Run upgrade again. It should be OK now.
Good luck.
P.S
MAKE SURE THAT IT PLUGGED DIRECTLY TO USB PORT ON PC, NOT USB HUB.
MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS POWER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
Thanks for your reply, do you or does anyone else know where i can get the 1.66 rom from for my XDA 2 on O2 UK?

Why not straight upgrade to 1.72WWE??? its faster and has a better bluetooth stack than the older version. But the bad thing is that it cannot be downgraded...
hi there,
ok i just picked up my xda of a colleague at work but unfortunately he cant find the software. does anyone know where i can download the latest software and drivers so that i can connect this up to my pc?
It also has his settings on it and so i want to erase all his settings and start again from fresh?
i have checked out the 02 site but this only has updates.
I have the o2 xda2
PLEASE HELP!!!!
For connecting to your PC you need ActiveSync. You can get it directly from Microsoft for free.....
Makeing the xda clean can be done by hard reset. After the hard reset all settings will be ghone and you will have a fresh and clean ROM...

Okay i was following the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16916
on my vmware workstation running under Linux
I opened up the himaupgrade.exe put in the apporiate files and then sync my device and click upgrade... shortly after i notice that the usb icon in vmware wasnt active and then my pocket pc went blank
after a while the upgrade reported that it failed, active sync said it had no connected devices and my pocket pc when put infront of light had USB writng on the top and v1.06 writtin on the bottom
now it said in the install to soft restet it plug it back into the cradle and continue the installation. so i soft reset it.. it did nothing -_- so then i hard resetted it and it the writing on the screen starts to fade then it comes back.. so out of desperations i removed the battery and it seams that its still going hard on the backup battery with the same text
now i got nothing.. my pocket pc wont start up at all and thus theres no way to conintue the update to make it work
so im asking you smart xda people out there.. how on earth do i make it work again, do i have to send it into imate to get it repaired!! im lost and have no idea this is my first time doing a new rom on this webpage
PLEASE
*gets on knees and begs*
tama(?),
you are stuck in bootloader mode. The device should still be detected when you put it in the cradle. Once that has happened you can either run the Himaupgrade once more and try it once more or install the original ROM through the executable (on CD?) you should have got from your vendor.
whoa im pretty please with that time it tock for a reply ^_^
anyways iv connected the device to my vmware windows 2000 pro and active sync detects it is there and sits on "connecting"
so far due to it being on connection the updates on this site arent working, im going to try the one on the cd now
okay everythings been working fine now for a while ill just some people advice out there..
you cannot upgrade your rom using a virtal machine in Vmware running on Linux
i had to use another computer running windows and it worked first time..
thanks a lot
Also worked for me!!
Restore back to 1.66
Ladies and gentlemen out there... please help.
I foolishly tried to upgrade my O2 Xda II and now I reset more often. Everytime I reset it says "IIs" on the bottom. Plus the buttons seem configured for the IIs. Further, the unit no longer is recognized by my desktop. I have spoken to the local distributor and local repair center here in Manila and both have said that restoring the unit back to 1.66 is possible BUT it similarly might cause the unit to "die" (be a dead unit). A result that is simply unacceptalbe, given I use my unit heavily for work. Please help.
If you are based in Manila, I would greatly appreciate an SMS response to the question below. Kindly SMS the following mobile numbers; +63920.928.3385 and/ or +63917.855.7599, with my "+63920" number being the primary number to send to.
So, is it possible to restore a unit from a 2.0-something back to 1.66 without the unit dying on me? If yes, how do I do this?
Cheers! Thanks!
Hello,
I tried to upgrade my SPV M1000 to WM5. I followed the procedure and ran the device in bootloader mode. I put the device on the cradle and it displayed USB and V1.06. Ok sounded good.
I started then the HimaUpgradeUt.exe program on the PC. The problem is HimaUpgradeUt.exe didn't find the mobile device at all. After maybe 1 minute looking to it displayed an error 101 message.
I tried different things : install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5 (no change)
I tried to connect the device with mty and it worked !
I tried to run HimaUpgradeUt.exe with the SPV running WM2003 and it found the device. I didn't try to upgrade in this mode anyway.
Any help is very welcome.
is your machine with win vista also?
as you said that you tryed to install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5, guess its WinXP. if its 2000/WinXP/win2003 then use only 4.2 version of ActiveSync. don't know why but i can only have sucess with that version. check for any security software that may block COM. with ActiveSync-Pocketpc.
that HimaUpgradeUt.exe you use is for your model? as im not an expert on this matter, don't know if your precise phone is a himalaya, maybe thats the prob. ehehhe then maybe not as im not aware of all the brands this peace of tech can became!
do right click on my computer and select manage, goto device manager and see for a mobile entry there, while your pocket is connected in serial/usb boot mode. there must be a windows ce device there for this to happen, and you should, not a must, but try to shut activesynch down while doing this detection with HimaUpgradeUt
Yes I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2. I installed activesync 4.2 again and disabled the firewall. I can see windows detecting the device when I put it on the cradle. But there is still the 101 error message when I try to run the update.
Vista and upgrade
Firstly thanks to marcjero for guiding me to this thread...
secondly... I had no probs at all, syncing my device with vista's WMDC(Windows mobile device center), apparently I tried to flash my device... and yes its an i-mate XDA II, currently running on C_ShekharAKU3.5.R40.P24_public_ROM and want to update to the latest one... apparently, connected my device to my system in bootloader mode... and well since then my system has a prob detecting my device... and I cannot even sync now... when i try to run HimaUpgrade, get the same 101 error code... :-(
any ideas how to get this thing working again?
PS: its seriously frustrating for me
use the "HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe " instead the "HimaUpgradeUt.exe"
download it HERE!
install the latest Active Sync...version 4.5
Syncing in Vista is no problem but as i said from other thread...i tried but not working...you cannot flash the device except in winxp...
Regards!

Upgrading the xdaii rom
Hi ClioRS
Just upgraded my xda 11 last month and new to all this so and ittook me weeks to find out what to do and how to do it, and i have been in it for 20 years/////. So thought i would shorten your searching time.
As I said I am new to all this but a good rom is the wm 6.1 Dark Lord by xda developer "ATHER".
I have been using it for a month now and its very stable, (I will have to donate some £ to him).
When you download the RAR file from his thread, shown at the bottomof this message. All the instructions are zipped into the RAR, as well as all the upgrade files.
Please find Athers upgade "Newbie instructions" below. Takes about 30 minutes to clean and upgrade the Rom.
Ather's Newbie instructions:
Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading ROM Image, please wait....',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Detach your device from the cradle.
Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
I have included Athers instructions above because I know I was lost and took me two weeks to find and understand what was going to happen to my beloved phone.

you also need Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 installed on your computer and the HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe does not get on with vista or windows 7 xp sp3 is the best [can be run on x32 bit vista but needs some playing about with the drivers]once you have got it installed restart computer then follow the above instructions.

Hi. I'm having trouble, I was just trying to upgrade my girlfriends XDA II from my Windows7 pc without realizing it wouldn't work. The XDA now only shows "USB v1.01". And the upgrade utility fails to connect to it. I have access to a pc with Vista 32bit. Do you know what it is that needs doing to the drivers to make it work on Vista 32bit?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
-Scott
