my first post and contribution.. hopefully it would be alot of help to other people..
this is the official IMATE 1.72 ROM...except that it was encoded to work with O2 XDA2 units
added the O2 splash screen to retain the O2 bootup image -just load O2.cab into your XDA2
the upgrade utility shouldnt show you any more country ID error for O2 XDA2 units.. if there are problems.. holler me ASAP!!
feedbacks would be nice, coz i would like to make upgrades for other Network providers as well..
Thanks for that.
Can you show me a step by step guide on how to upgrade O2 xda 2 1.60.WWE version to this?
Thanks again.
ok... im not an expert yet, coz i just had my XDA2 for a week, but i do enjoy tweaking and playing with it.. besides, the knowledge i gain thru reading this forum is more than enough..
ok.. here goes..
1. create a full BACKUP your XDA2.. (but i dunno if this is helpful should you fail to upgrade your ROM)
2. download the above file and extract it.
3. you should see it extract 7 files.
4. put your xda2 in the cradle connected to the PC
5. run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
6. wait around 30-60 mins. then follow the procedure as shown on your computer. (a hard reset would be required)
7. after the upgrade is done, you should see the IMATE screen upon booting up (instead of the O2 bubble screen) if you wanne be extra sure, check your XDA2 version.if everything is ok, then you should have upgraded it correctly
8. if you want to revert to the old O2 splash screen during bootup, then copy O2.cab to your XDA2 and run it there. Do a soft reset, and voila, it should be back to the old O2 bootscreen.
I suggest that you contact your NETWORK PROVIDER because you will need to manually configure GPRS, MMS, and INTERNET settings on your xda2 after doing the upgrade.
WARNING: i wont be held responsible or liable for failed upgrade of your unit. Please understand that by agreeing to upgrade your XDA2, you are taking full responsibility of whatever untoward incidents that may occur to your XDA2. Flashing the rom might lead to DATA LOSS, SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, and even DEVICE MALFUNCTION.
but.. the rewards of upgrading it is sweet!
Many thanks for all of these description.
BTW, how do you feel the upgrade?
What you really get from this?
Can you share with us?
Thanks again.
Cheers mate.
i dunno, im just a week old newbie in using XDA2 :wink:
i just enjoy tweaking the XDA..so far, no problems here.
My xda2 currently is 1.66wwe. after upgrade to 1.72wwe, what's the different between it? anything increase? sorry because i'm a new bird
did a lil research.. so far, came to this...
The 1.72 ROM eliminates the majority of problems from the 1.66 ROM such as:
Increased battery drain
Device slows down
Bluetooth GPS devices don't work, even with Pocket Bluetooth Tools
Can it be downgraded back to O2 xda2 1.60WWE Rom?
Many thanks.
i doubt that it can be downgraded... i havent personally tried to downgrade my ROM to a lower version.. but there are other threads related to this, and they claim that when they tried downgrading their ROMS, their XDA2 died....
you can try searching for other topics if there are information about downgrading... .so far, i dont have any problems with my 1.72 ROM...
except that there is no running program application which enables me to switch off any running program in the background.. but i easily remedied it by downloading TASKMANAGER.... its quite the same with running programs...other than that, so far, so good.
Error 121 Language ID Error
Hi,
after running HimaUpgradeUt.exe I get the message:
Error 121 Language ID Error (N-2-1-0-1), the ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your Pocket PC.
I ran ERedit2003 Version 1.2.20 and opened the file ms_.nbf using the password 0x20040305. I saved the file with the different language settings WWE, ENG and GER. Always the problem remains the same.
My XDA2 currently has ROM 1.66.01GER.
Thanks for help.
try to change the operator name , too! or use other hymalaya upgrade files, from other roms!

Hi,
Thanks. But now I get the message:
Error 120 Language ID Error ( N-1-8-1-8 ), the ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your Pocket PC. I tried with settings O2 WWE, O2 GER and O2 ENG.
When specifying CDL instead of O2 the error code changes to Error 120 Language ID Error ( N-1-8-8-8 ).
So the problem remains the same
Thanks for help.
Help for beginners: upgrading O2 Xda II to ROM 1.72
New to Forum-sorry to be slow on the uptake. I am trying to undersand how to upgrade O2 Xda II (ExROM 160.50) to ROM 1.72 without losing the machine. Waxx says you need to reconfigure the ISP settings (I assume because they are lost in the upgrade). I cannot find O2 settings for GPRS Interenet and MMS on the net. Talking to O2 is a waste of time.
Does anyone have a step by step description that results in ROM 1.72/Radio 1.18 (or lower if 1.18 still in beta) working on O2 Xda II?
Has anyone reported doing it sucessfully. Have non recoverable failures been reported?
RamyG
Just copy the attached CAB file across to say, My Documents on your XDA, and run it via FileManager.
It will customise your O2 XDA II with all the correct settings.
Once it has done that (and you've tested it works), just uninstall the O2 Active bit and your settings will remain (well they did on mine)
BTW - I upgraded to the new ROM, and have had no problems at all ! Very sweet
Mark
Thnx Mark, just to make sure before I jump in: the steps are:
(1) upgrade to 1.72 using Waxx's attachement (is that the file you used?) (2) follow the procedure you described and I will get O2 customised Xda II (same as where I started) but with ROM1.72 and later Radio Stack. Right?
2 questions:
(a) are the GPRS setting for MOBILE WEB (post paid)
(b) what benefits should I expect from the upgrade? (other than the satisfaction that it succeeded, l if it works?
thnx
RamyG
Yep I used the attachment from Waxx ...
The procedure you mentioned is correct ... I did have a few heart stopping moments after the upgrade because (like you) I couldn't find the necessary settings for GPRS etc .. but the O2 cab file re-installs everything back to what it should be for the UK.
You are prompted to choose relevant settings - in this case you get a choice from either post-paid (MobileWeb) or PrePay ...
As for benefits, people are reporting better bluetooth support, and better battery life. Only upgraded mine yesterday, so can't comment on either yet !
HTH

Has anyone else had problems charging overnight with the ROM version?
Got Error 120: Country ID error N-8-1-1-1
Hi all,
I am new member here. I did upgrade to ROM 1.72WWE and seems working fine. Because the PDA is idle, I try to roll back to ROM 1.60.44 eng. and got the country id error N-8-1-1-1. I tried to set the regional to English (UK) and English (US) but failed. Any comment? My XDAII is bought from Asia-HK. Thanks a lot.
Chris
Mark thnx for your help. For all those undecided souls I can report that Waxx's ROM 172 upgrade works fine for O2 Xda II. (BTW: it takes 3 times as long to upgrade as they say it does - it's 30 min for each of ROM ExROM and Radio modules).
Mark, O2.cab did not work as exepcted for some reason. When I ran it, it simple created a text file with O2 network config info and did not actually configure the Xda II. The info was correct and a manual config worked first time. Puzzled, I ran the O2 cab again but from another directory. This time I got the O2 spiral (I may have gotten the network configed again I can't know as I had previously configured it manually . The upgrade did lose the O2 dialer screen and reverted to the iMATE one. This is trivial. the Net is full of free attractive skins. e.g http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketpc-apps/
Mark Peters- I thank you again.

A splinter topic from DCS's post Fix and prevent ROM upgrade/downgrade Country ID errors.
Okay here's the skinny. I believe there are two parts to this problem.
One the user is not complying to the procedure in changing the codes.
Two the user has previously upgraded using a foreign Extended ROM ms.nbf file (filled with own modified CABs).
I have included the ms_.nbf files of various operator IDs. They do not have any Extended ROM CABs or Splash screens (to be inserted by user according to your locale and fancy later when upgrading to the WM2003SE ROM).
Begin the repair.
Run HimaUpgradeUT.exe together with the ms_.nbf, HimaClearJumpCode.exe and HimaGetDeviceData.exe files. Do not add any nk and radio_ *.nbf files.
After completion of the fix you can start with your WM2003SE upgrade.
Or you can simply remove HimaGetDeviceData.exe and upgrade if you can live with the foreign ID in your Himalaya.
I need help!!!!!!!! :? :? :? :? :?
My freind upgraded my imate to win2003se. After booting the imate gives only black screen with the word serial or usb when cradled.
We tried to re-upgrade or re-downgrade but no hope. Always the same error message: Error 120: Country ID Error.
is that any way to find out which rom I have now on my mashine or to do anything to get it back booting.
Thanks in advance.......
Flash
Remove your battery for awhile.
Pop it back in and hard reset.
Then try to flash with the four different ms_.nbf I attached.
Thanks Dr.Stein
I did what you described in you reply but no chance.
I am getting the same Error 120.
Do you have any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance
when you get stuck in boaltloader screen, thing you can do is soft reset and continue to upgrade again. but if still can't work just downgrade with base rom (1.03 for boatloader 1.02) and (1.60.44 for baotloader 1.03)
Well I have the bootloader 1.02.
Where can I find this rom
Thanx. :? :?
What did this error means: N-O-N-8-N after Error code 120
Thanks
:lol: Thank you Dr Stien i somehow managed to change my country id.
But Thanks to you its all how it should be Thanks Again

Thanks guys, I solved it.
Mabrook... :lol:
your friend "Roaydak" :wink:
if I understand correctly :
these file will set your country ID /operator ID to O2 so the WM2003SE upgrades (which all have O2 has operator ID ) will work.
depending on if yours is now Qtek, CDL, TMOBILE or O2 you have to start from the right file.
Which means that afterwards when you want to downgrade to your original Qtek, CDL or TMOBILE ROM you will get Country Id error ?
unless you have manipulated offset 74 in the WM2003SE upgrade.
plz correct me if I'm wrong

No Bro these files will set your Himalaya to it's original state - select Qtek, CDL, TMOBILE or O2 accordingly.
Afterwhich you should alter the WM2003SE ROM to your individual Himalaya - Qtek, CDL, TMOBILE or O2.
Only then can you do your upgrade.
He Guys,
Just my luck I have bought an HTC Tytn with the original Dutch rom and sim unlocked second hand.
I wanted to put a new Dutch rom from HTC on it but I keep on getting the ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID but what I don`t understand is I have used the original Dutch rom from HTC. So I checked the device information and under the tab identity it says;
Model No.: H
Platform: PocketPC
IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Shouldn’t the Model No. be HERM200?
Has anyone any suggestions in how I can solve this problem so I can flash any rom I wish.
I have tried al the cid unlock programs I could find and in bootloader it says;
H
IPL-1.01
H
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Thanks in advanced.
Use RAR to unpack the Original Dutch ROM.
Take the NBH file that you get when you unpack the ROM.
Put it in a folder with CUSTOM_RUU from Olipro.
Run CUSTOM_RUU and it will load up the ROM from the NBH file, bypassing the CID check. Should work
Thanks for the reply,
I have tried what you suggested but I still get ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID I have also read these posts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322231&highlight=CUSTOM_RUU+from+Olipro and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322119&highlight=CUSTOM_RUU+from+Olipro and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309707&highlight=CUSTOM_RUU+from+Olipro and tried these suggestions but every time I get the error message. The radio update process was the same for me it will go to 7% and then give the message ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID.
I have also tried the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a and Hard-SPL-V7 but still get the error message.
I hope I’m doing something wrong if not then I hope you have a new suggestion.
Thanks in advance.
Please set your device in BOOTLOADER MODE and post here your IPL / SPL versions.

Ups, missed the bottom - thought it is the signature already! Sorry, haven't had my coffee yet!
Well, looks like the device is CID unlocked!
How about trying to flash an entire cooked ROM?
i would suggest the following:
flash a cooked rom (any)
see if that makes any difference to your model id
then try and flash the native dutch rom
good luck
Hi Guys,
As you suggested I tried a cooked rom the Hermes_WM6_vanilla still get the same error message when I put my device manually in boot loader it shows;
H
IPL-1.01
H
SPL-1.40.Olipro
But as soon as I try an official or cooked rom it shows;
H
IPL-SSPL by des
H
SPL-1.09.ds
I’m now trying Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_4.00_Full_Beta3.exe and choose for auto detect and it said 1.40 Olipro and in boot loader it shows;
H
IPL-1.01
H
SPL-1.40.Olipro
And after 1% I got the ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID message again.
I think my options are getting slim.
Your ModelID is stored on NAND and can be edited quite trivially (mostly).
how it got corrupted I don't know, however, the important question is; can you get into the OS?
He Olipro,
The device it zelf works perfect I can go anywhere I want even in the OS.
Just lead the way.
Changing Model ID
I have a similar problem in that my Model ID got corrupted during a radio upgrade. I now get the same error (244) and am stuck on SPL2.10 and can't downgrade to fix it. Can anyone tell us how to manually change the model ID in the NAND?
Much appreciated.
Dumping NAND
Ok, I'm a relative newbie so appologies before I get flamed. Thanks Olipro for giving me a clue.
I have now got spl 2.60 on my device but am unsure how to dump the NAND. I've worked out how to dump the 3 partitions from the device to dump the OS but am still unclear which part of the device is the NAND. I've read the Wiki on the memory map but am still not too sure.
Anyone able to give me simple instructions to dump the NAND and once I've done that where abouts is the ModelID stored? Do I do this using mtty?
Thanks in advance.

NAND Dump
Thanks Drummer for pointing me in the right direction.
Ive done this bit:
BTW, if you want to do a full backup of you FULL eeprom nand at any time, connect as before and type these commands:
plink HERMES > full.nb (hit ENTER twice)
task 32 (hit ENTER once and only once from now on after every command)
password 0000000000000000 - My device password is BsaD5SeoA which I used instead.
set 1e 1
rbmc me.txt 50000000 7fff800
watch your file grow to 128 MB.
It creates a full.nb file but it stays at 1k!!
** Note I have copied the bootloader file for spl 2.60 on my Hermes and ran that so I can now use that versino instead of the 2.10 thats on my device if that makes a difference and have tried with no joy with either version. Yes I know it says to use 2.30 but I can't work out how to get that on my device due to the ModelID error.
The Model number is contained within the herm1.nb file that was posted by BusStop in that thread. No need for complete NAND reflashing, only that section. You'll see it using a Hex Editor. You should write down your WiFi MAC addess, so you can edit it before flashing the file with the corrected Model number. Now you just have to figure out how to get SPL 1.01 MFG on your device...
Thanks Drummer. I did try flashing the herm1.nb file but of course as I do not have SPL 1.01 MFG it gievs an error. I'll keep trawling through the site and see if I can work out how to get SPL 1.01 onto my device. I'm not going to let this damn device beat me.
Ok so I worked out how to get the ModelID using getdevicedata. Used nbhtool to create a vaild nbh using the ModelID I'd just got and used the spl from 2.30 and it updated that fine.
Excellent.
However did the same with the MFG1.01 and flashed it and......
I now have a dead brick, no power and no response form usb. Time to get a replacement device.
Thanks for all the help I've had. I'm sure it should have worked.
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber
5.) Soft Reset
Thanks for the advice Drummer however:
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber - Nope red light goes out!
Mne shows HHHHHHH
Hi all, i've upgraded my radio and after my model id changed to H.
So, reading some posts i've used NBHTOOL.
1.I've decompiled an original Italian ROM
2.i've obtained a custom nbh selecting only OS and EXTROM and changing my Model number.
3. after that i've flashed the nbh resulting into a write error at 84% and a bricked htc.
Luckily i was able to reflash roms and i processed to second experiment.
I've made a custom rom with only the os, and it WORKED!
so my questions are:
1. can i use my htc even if my external rom isn't flashed (it cames from an old Schaps 4.0 succesful flash)
2. It is safe to proceed installing bootloader SPL using the nbhtool like i did with the os?
In that case i will be able to fix the model id problem by flashinh spl 1.01 and using the wireless fixing method you posted..
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Hi
From my understanding the Ext rom is mainly used for carriers to install there specific addons and customizations so it shouldn't be a problem.
As you can see I did flash spl 2.30 using this method and it worked fine ti was only when something whent wrong flashing 1.01 that my problem happened but I think that may be that I used an nbs file instead of an nb file from what I've read since.
Good luck.
Edit: Just noticed someone on this thread has managed it by going straight ot 2.60 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
Please read this post first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339961 I`m hoping someone can give me instructions in how i can do this so I can change or upgrade my rom.

Download the herm1.nb file in that thread and flash it to your device using the instructrutions on page one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46888&d=1186868649. It uses Hermes 200.
If you want to edit it to a different Device ID, use a HEX Editor and edit bytes 4008-400D.
Hi Drummer 10630,
I have red the thread and I have to start by downgrading my spl and that’s just the problem I cannot downgrade or upgrade to anything because I keep on getting the error message Invalid model Id.
Now I’m trying my best to understand what it all says in the thread but what’s easy for you guys is Chinese to me and I’m from Holland.
So could you explain to me in lames terms which action I should take first to get my model id name changed back into HERM200 in nand.
I’m sorry if I’m a pain in the ash………e but I can’t do this without your help.
It's all in the thread. Read Mr Vanx's downgrading SPL pages...then flash the nand.
Hey Drummer10630,
Like I said I cannot downgrade I have red the thread several times and the Mr Vanx's downgrading SPL pages, tried the hard spl v7 but still get the error message invalid model id.
As you can read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339961 if I go to boot loader using the OK and Power button I get
H
IPL-1.01
H
SPL-1.40.Olipro
But if I use the spl wrapper I get

Does this make any difference?

One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.
Hey Drummer10630,
I followed the instructions but it starts with installing HARD SPL which wont work because of the MODEL ID error so I skipped that and tried the rest and everything went fine I change the MODEL ID to H which is what it says on my device put the RUU_SIGNED.NBH file in the HTC rom folder and fired it up and guess what MODEL ID error.
I think what I need to do is to change my MODEL ID in nand like Olipro says.

Halo,
excuse me for the bad English!
After the SSPL 1,16 I forgot the USPL or HardSPL in the hurry.
And I have directly try the new ROM to load. I get since then
only still error 262. If I it with the new original HTC WM 6.1
get I try the error 294 invalid Dealer ID.
What can I there still do?
With MTTY I have access to the XDA. Whom I an instruction send
come an answer of the XDA. I do not get ahead however with MTTY.
It is correct that one with MTTY ROM also on the equipment to load can?
For the syntax I need however help.
