hi!
i tried to upgrade qtek2020i to wm2005.
and i download "ftp://xda:[email protected]/Himalaya2005/OS_ROM/WM2k5_1.60a_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar"
but i had a mesage of "the rom image that you are trying
it's not design to work with your pocket pc.
please check the vender website and download the correct rom update".
what i must do?
thank you.
2020i != himalaya device so it can use any himalaya roms !
so it's possible to upgrade qtek2020i to wm2005?
if yes how?
thank you.
not that i know of the mimalaya 2005 was leaked without HTC's consent as far as i know and
it seems as if there are no other plans to release 2005 upgrades for the current models at least from imate
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=349447&sid=ed5097fed701dbbfa66e2c8829272e80
so unless it's officialy released or somebody port it to the other models which is something which have never been don before as far as i know then it will never come to 2020i
I'd be very surprised to see a WM2005 released by one of the major vendors supplying the current crop of XDA-style phones. It'll be the Universal I think.

Hi, I own the QTEK 2020 and a couple of months ago updated it with the dangard rom update. Now it seems there is a new update in the form of the WM2003SE and I need to know if I cn get one for my phone as I dont have an XDA2, imate, himalaya or any such device but a QTEK 2020!
I want it too
When you can find one, please let me know, because I'm in searching of one too :roll:
i have heard nothing about any 2003SE for xda update
where did you hear that ?
Microsoft Creates New Opportunity for Windows Mobile Developers With New Software Platforms and Tools
Microsoft unveils the new Windows Mobile™ 2003 Second Edition software focused on enabling unprecedented hardware innnovation and application development.
ANother question.
I saw this update on the front page:
A sotware update was released for the iMate (Himalaya / XDA II). It's a ROM update which holds a new OS ROM and not just a new extended ROM.
i.e. Imate 1.66
if i install this upgrade on my qtek 2020 would it work and will my phone still retain its triband capabilities?
I need to upgrade to WM2003SE, but I really read a lot of topics in this forum about that, I heard some people say that this version is good and has no problems, and some else say that it is full of problems. This is my very first time to try upgrading my XDA, I heard that it may become just a piece of junk if anything fails.. so I am very worried about that guys.
So I need 2 things from you:
I need to know if this upgrade worth it or not, will my device die if anything fails? I need to be sure before going ahead.
If the upgrade worth it, could you give me the link where I can download the latest version of WM2003SE that does not have any problems?
Also I will be thankful if you have any tips or things to avoid during the upgrade process.
My device is:
QTEK 2020
R 0.10
G 1337.18
D 1.66 WWE
My carrier is Vodafone Egypt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16916
The only differance is the O2 startup image instead of the imate image. Other than that the rom is very good, not very stable, but deffinetely worth it.
PS. If the phone regects the upgrade at the beginning, retry and it should upgrade.
So you mean that this link you posted, contains the WM2003SE that is compatible with my QTEK2020? and does it support my carrier? "Vodafone Egypt" as it is written that it only supports Australian Carriers: - Optus, Telstra & Vodafone..
hello there, is it possible to install the standard OS software from de MDA compact/Magician on a MDA2/himalya?? a friend of mine has this software but i don´t know if it is suitable for a MDA2. when it is possible I would have a standard (checked!!) WM2003SE.
tnx already

when you get windows for your pc it have 1M different drivers and possible settings
with win CE it have to be 100% made for the device otherwise it would never boot
Bummer
so I have to search a bit more for a win 2003SE. how about the versions on this site? can I install them without problems? is there a version that you recommend foor my MDA2? is there a difference between de xda2, mda2, qtec2020? or are they all "the same", in other words, a OS for the qtec2020 is also suitable for the XDA2 and MDA2?
it´s a hole new world for me :? , so all the info you can give me, please teach me all the tricks.
Francis
yeah they are all the device called himalaya which htc makes
though the orange one have different buttons then my qtek2020
about the 2003SE then i havent made the switch myself because some people talk about bluetooth isseus with 2003SE as in not being able to sync with it
and also it's translated from chinese so it's not a purebred WWE rom
isn´t there a purebred wwe available?? or an english version? like I told before, it´s quit new for me.....
HTC for example doesn´t provide a update of the OS, in the form of a WM2003SE?? is this the only place where I can find OS for the MDA2 or are there more usefull places?
tnx Francis
as far as i know there is no official english version of 2003SE for himalaya
only the ones users have translated
htc never release any roms they release them to tmobile, o2, qtek and imate and who ever sell humalaya devices
After spending some time reading through the articles in this forum, I am a little bewildered. Its obviously not as simple as running a program is it??
I love and use my m1000 all day, every day and it is vital to my life.
Please please please would someone, anyone, supply step by step instructions on how to safely upgrade as I've already had to have my m1000 replaced as I tried to upgrade my rom to the MMS version as supplied by Orange.
To this day, I am unable to install the rom update to use MMS, I have asked for help from Orange and the modaco website .. and unfortunately, no luck but a pointer to this glorious forum from the modaco website.
Ta in advance ..
mrplatypus
orange comes with 2003 and the newer version is 2003SE
2000 pure is very old
read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18287
Apologies ...
Sorry, I meant to type .. WM2003 as opposed to WM2000 and WM2003SE to WM2000SE..
WM2003 to WM2003SE wiv MMS!
In another post on this site (with me in it) the files which reside in the extended rom after the upgrade were uploaded to this forum.
This has provided me with my mms and I am very much happier.
However, I am still after really really BASIC instruction and the files to upgrade the Operating System on the phone, from WM2003 to WM2003SE (or greater?)
Much appreciated.
mrPlatypus
the post i linked to is the easiest way i think
2003SE is not official or even originally in English it's an
Chinese rom hand translated by people in this forum so i dont think we
can expect an official easy operator install for it
also you know that flashing your orange pda would void the warranty ?
voided warranty ..
Ok, I was asking to find out how difficult it would be -- my current contract with Orange officially runs out in September where I'll be upgrading my phone/pda anyway ..
Thanks for the advice and the pointers on legality.

atm my xdaII o2 is dead, it is getting sent in for repair soon, and it was sent in before, they said my mobo was dead, because i tried to upgrade to 2005 (off the O2 website) (i think, not sure, done too much to remember)
they tell me the XDAII does not work with WM2005, so i will be either getting 2003 or 2003se instead. I dearly want to upgrade to wm2005 for more features, but dont want to risk my XDA dying again. should i try to upgrade again, or not? (first my GSM died then my operating system hung at O2 splash screen, eventually rendered my entire ppc useless)
are there any specific ROMS to look for and/ or any specific pitfalls to lookout for, or should i just do without updating and just deal with WM2003?
thankyou all in advance!
ps. if they just upgrade me to wm2003se is that close enough to wm2005 or, is there much difference?
thanks
the wm2005 ppl can get on himalaya is a leaked BETA version it's not the finished version
i doubt you found it on o2's site
since the last official himalaya version released in english is 2003 version 1.7X
many ppl run the beta 2005 and the manualy translated unofficial english 2003SE
buzzdev.net
for 2005 beta
hey, thanks for the reply, it straightened out a lot for me
now, does anyone know if 2005 is being released at all on XDA II?
or is there 2003SE available for official download?
thanks again
Imate have officialy state long agoe that no device which were not sold with 2005 will have it released later on
non of the others that i heard of stated anything other then some stating that no new rom updates would be made for older devices at all
the only official version of 2003SE there is in chinese
and have been altered by ppl on this site to be translated to english
thanks so much for the information, rudegar, you walking library you :
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
