Is it possible to upgrade my XDA II to WM2003SE? If it is, where can I download the file and what is it called? Is there also upgrade instructions? Is it OK if I install ROM v1.72.187 from O2 UK, since the last time I check O2 Asia still not providing it?
Thanks for your help guys because I'm still new to this thing and excuse my english
Geez! You're joking, right?
Thanks for helping since I just use XDA II
Does anyone upload the ROM v1.72.187 software on this forum? I tried to download from sourceo2 and unsuccessful.
You'll need the 2.06 ROM to upgrade to WM03SE. I would suggest searching for topics by author ZeroXtreme. He posted a howto on that with the files needed. But before you do any flashing, please read all articles posted in this forum about ROM upgrading.....it will get you safely to the promised land.
Thanks bravo2zero, i try to search.
Suppose I install 2.06 ROM, how to install Extended ROM as I already download Extended ROM 172.181 Customised Asian Edition Version 2?
Still learning...
not sure if i remember this but when i updated to se; i downloaded the rom package (zip file) which includes other files such as the extended rom. your only concern would be to double click the upgrade exe file; from there the app installs the rom and the other related stuff (like the extended rom). when you do this, remember to keep your unit on the cradle with the power source plugged in. once the upgrade starts; you may need to wait for like 30-45 minutes (not sure). don't touch the unit, just leave her alone until the rom upgrade is complete.
oh, and if i remember you're supposed to do a soft reset before you plug in for the upgrade. in case your screen blanks out and says somethings like "serial 1.0something"; don't fret. simply take it out of the cradle, do a soft reset, and repeat the upgrade.
but if your unit really does die on you and you can't get her back to the land of the living, then what you would have is a very expensive brick
good luck
very helpful....
thanks robson, i'll try and let u know whether it'll be "new" xda II or just an expensive brick
Happy face...
Finally, my XDA II upgraded after a frustated process. Now my device read like this:
ROM: 2.02.t1WWE
Radio: 1.18.00
Protocol: 1337.38
ExtROM: 1.12.924 WWE
and WM2003SE
Well robson, i did it and its "new" XDA II not an expensive brick :wink:
However, I still can't install O2plus. Does anyone know how to install *.rar file?
Thanks
Just download WinRar from download.com if you don't have one and unrar the file.
Please help me ilmans!
-i'm also using xdaII and i really want to upgrade it to WM2003SE.Can u help me out coz i really dont understand what excatly you guys wrote in the forum
-for your info, i'm not really good with these IT's stuff
-so could u please help me out buddy
to: ilmans
congrats mate, see that wasn't as hard. for o2 plus, just be a little careful. some mates in the forum ran into some issues with installing that app. some say it installed flawlessly, some said it hung up their units and thus resulted in a hard reset. in any case, do be careful.

that's the link that will take you the post made by zeroextreme; the same dude that made it possible for upgrading your unit if you're based in asia. since you're in malaysia, then chances are this is the rom for you.
what you do is download the zip file; i think it contains something like 4 (?) files. unzip it in a folder, you'll notice the file with the name with the exe file extension, you only need to be concerned with this file. don't touch the others. what you do is do a soft reset on your unit, you then put it on the cradle. make sure that the power source is plugged in. once the unit is synced; you then double click the exe file for the upgrade. this basically erases your present rom (the one in your xda) and replaces it with the updated one. take note; the ugrade will take roughly 30 to 45 minutes, so go get a pint or go to the loo or something. the exe file will be the one to handle things like upgrading your radio and installing the external rom; so again don't bother with the other files. while upgrading, don't touch your unit and leave her alone. don't remove the power source, don't uncradle her, in other words leave her alone. once it's all done just follow the on-screen instructions. i think it'll tell you to do a hard reset and from there your unit should be up and running with the new rom.
oh, and as per my post above if in case your unit dies the first time around and your screen has something like "serial ver 1.something", or anything on the screen (even a picture of a naked babe ) don't fret. simply uncradle your device, do a soft reset, and do the upgrade again. some chaps in the forum ran into this problem; what they did was kept on doing hard resets and proceeded with the upgrade. in the end it worked.
once done, you can then start reinstalling your favorite apps again. oh, you will always encounter a message saying something like "the app you are installing is not designed for wm 2003 and thus may not work properly"...if so simply click "ok". it's just a warning, although it is true since some apps or games won't work right in landscape mode. that's not a fault i think for the unit or the rom; it's the program you installed. it hasn't been designed yet with landscape mode in mind.
good luck and have a pint
cheers mate

Thanks [/quote]
hey ilman,
what do mean that you don't know how to install a rar file? it might be because it's a cab file already. if you unzip the rar file you'll find the contents to be files that don't have .exe or the computer does not recognize them as files associated with a program in microsoft. if that's the case, the file is already a cab file. meaning, you copy that file and paste it in a folder in your xda unit. using your xda's file explorer, go to that folder (where the rar file is) and double click the item you just pasted. you'll notice that your xda recognizes the file as being a cab. what will happen is automatic installation for the app you want.
cheers mate
ur the man robson!!
thanks alot mate.i'll try it as soon as possible.if anything goes wrong i'll get back to u.thanks again man!!
upgrading to WM2003SE
-hi robson
-just wanna double check with u before i proceed upgrading my device.
-so do i need to soft reset of hard reset after installing it to my device?
-sorry for the trouble mate.
mate,
to be honest with you what i did was actually wrong...well not really but it all boils down to not following instructions. what i did was synced my unit then did the upgrade. at that point i did remember the on-screen instructions to do a soft reset before proceeding with the upgrade. that was when i received an error saying that cannot proceed with the upgrade. i almost freaked out coz i thought i killed my unit. i then uncradled her, did a soft reset but that didn't do anything; my screen simply said "serial ver1.something". it was then that i did a hard reset. again; that didn't do a thing to change the screen. i simply cradled her back and proceeded with the upgrade. it worked...although i was getting ready to justify buying an xda2s...not that i would want one....
for your case, i guess doing a soft reset is fine. if you do a hard reset, you would have to go through the trouble of waiting for the unit to finish installing all the apps before it's usable. a soft reset will save you the trouble...besides the rom will be erased anyway.
good luck and hope that helps. 6pm and time to leave the office. one word: heineken!
cheers mate
Well done robson my man....
As robson mention above, he gives u instructions. However, this is what i did and none the less is the same as robson. The important thing will be the end, as robson said it might be an expensive brick if u r not successed.
1. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13588 and download Himalaya_WM2003SE_Upgrade.zip by dcs then extract to a new folder (name it e.g himalaya).
2. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13795 and download Customized_WM2003SE_Asian_Edition_Version2.zip by ZeroXtreme then extract the ms_.nbf to himalaya folder (look no. 1). By the way, u can install other cab files in this zip files later after upgrade.
3. Reset your XDA II and connect with the computer. Then back to himalaya folder and double click on himalaya upgrade. Sit back and wait, it takes about 1 hour or so.
4. If you encounter problem (like me, u too robson rite? ) when u asked to disconnect and reset your device and when u try to connect again, the computer simply didn’t recognize and it said “ found new hardware “, don’t freak out (to be honest, i'm really freak out mate !!!). Just simply insert ur XDA II cd from the box and double click again on himalaya upgrade in himalaya folder.
5. Wait until finish, hard reset when its done and voila!!!
6. Hope this instructions helpful to newbie like me.
7. Run into problem try to scan around the forum, the expert already gives instructions better than me
Greetings,
Any body tried underground WM6 rom with shell tool.
I tried it yesterday but it was not moving ahead of IPL SPL screen.
May be i did something wrong.
Anybody tried.
Thanks
samy download the wizard love rom.
switch off your phone. connect the usb cable , hold the camera button and start it. it will go into bootloader mode where you will see multicoloured screen. run the wizard love rom and you will be able to recover it hopefully.
I installed the Underground ROM fine, but it was the first one I tried and I didn't hard reset my phone correctly so I thought it was screwed up and switched to Orwell's 1984 (with a reflash to Wizard Love in between). I imagine it would've been just as good with a correct hard reset to get rid of all my previous install's junk.
Actually, funky-saggi,
you did not understand i already did that, last nite.
But im asking whether anybody tried shell tool by mun-rus, to flash underground rom.
Thanks.
I am running the underground version having flashed with the shell tool.
Lots better than pdaviet 4 very fast
eddietmen
Greetings,
How did you do that.
When i did it was not moving ahead of ipl spl screen
Can you tell me how did you do that.
Thanks
shell tool
i have also had to revert to the wizard rom as i mucked my phone up if you follow the instructions with the tool it should work
i did have some problems and at one point i copied one of the roms i copied the nk.nbf file from the underground edition to the wizard love dir which overwrited the one in there then flashed it using the wizard bootlooder samething soft reset hold the camera button down just paste the wizard nk.nbf onto your desktop just in case you need to copy it back again because i have given you some noob instruction that muck your phone up and need to reflash the wizard rom back on there

first you should not be in ipl/spl mode read the instructions
boot up mobile to a clean os (wizard love for example)
install the cab files from the shell tool re-boot the device
extract the exe from underground (view hidden files in explorer)
take the nbf file copy to the shell directory then run the tool till it completes(end)
Hard re-boot the device
Calibrate and setup
Voila working
Thanks
thanks eddietmen,
I have got the version worked in my wizard.
I think so to flash a new rom you have to go back to original rom.?
Thanks
shell tool is perfect and you can flash any rom but please read readme very carefully before starting ...
from my experience ...
rapi must be installed on your device then reboot, sync, extarct desired rom and than update.
- cannot update while in tricolor (rapi not active)
- do not panic while flashing before 20 minutes, because there is no sign and no progres indicator (I did panic and almost bricked my wizzard, but flashed with love rom and recovered) don't disconect or interrupt the process...
installed viet4 .. for some connection reason live msn didnt work and relying to some sugestions i flashed to underground... but I'm still facing the same problem...
any trick ?
Greetings,
Install the original rom which the device was shipped with or wizard love.
And then try to flash.
Where can i find the "wizard love rom" ?
cant make my live mail work.
Hi there i have a G4 locked cingular 8125, i just flash it with pdaviet3 ROM and it works just perfect, the onl flaw is that i cant make my live mail (hotmail) work properly, when trying to reply my mail just freeze. The device doesnt, just the app, i reflashed it but i cant make it work any suggestion'?

Hi all,
I've been using Erofich's WM6.1 Standard rom for some time now and decided to try WM6.1 Pro having used it briefly in the past. Anyway, long story short - I flashed following the usual procedure using img-93233-RUU_STAR100_WM61PRO_V2.exe and the process failed around 40%
No big deal I think, re-flash and go again, however, the device now boots to the tricolor boot loader screen and I can't progress any further.
I've tried flashing from, WM6.1 Standard Erofich & a stock rom I have lying about (RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship.exe) but both timeout with the error 260, device couldn't be found.
I've also tried flashing from my FAT32 formatted SD card using the stock rom named as STARIMG.nbh and the WM6.1 Standard Erofich out of desperation.
Is this thing goosed?

Thanks for looking at this thread Erofich, I downloaded several different versions of mtty but all those with a USB option in the menu simply state "USB port can not open"
I heard mention that v1.46 works a little better but can't find it anywhere.
I've rebooted the PC & phone, disabled ActiveSync USB connections etc.
I see the USB display in the boot loader toggle on/off when I connect/disconnect from my XP box, but no sign of anything in Device manager
Not looking so hot I think?

OK, I think this is my **** up, I pulled down the iMate shipped WWE rom and dropped that on the SD card and it find's it first time. This could mean one of 2 things I think
1: I'm an idiot for using the QTEK stock rom not the IMATE rom on my iMate device
2: Placing the battery cover held the SD card in tighter??!
Upshot is, I'm running again - do I try the Pro or stick with Standard?! I'll let you know how it pans out
Thanks for your help
I've since re-flashed to WM6.1 Pro V2 and everything went fine. I'm not sure what happened to the first attempt & can only assume I cocked up attempting to flash from SD card first couple of times round.
Loving the work on Pro by the way Erofich
Hi All,
I flashed my HTC Fuze with the below ROM
Calkulin's Visual HTC Kitchen v4 for Touch Pro and my mobile is dead now. I missed to unlock the phone before running this update (although very clearly mentioned in the instructions )
Since the mobile is not booting I am not able to flash it with any other ROM or revert back what I did. Computer does not recognize the mobile through ActiveSync. I tried resetting the mobile (Power button + volume down button + OK button), it even says restoring to factory settings, but after restart still hangs at the AT&T screen.
Can anyone please help me out here or I need to take my phone to AT&T service, but that would be the last thing to do as I think the warranty is void with this tampering.
Well, I'm pretty sure that Calkulin cooks for the Herman (aka cdma touch pro). This is your problem (and maybe not your only one).
Flash a stock rom off your sd card.
Edit: Wow, that link takes you to the cdma Diamond forum at ppcgeeks. What were you thinking?
Thanks a lot Ted...!
Thanks a lot Ted. You are my "knight in shining armor". Atleast I have some hope, I think
You just said "Flash a stock rom off your sd card.". Can you please let me know or direct me to a post that tells how to flash rom off the sd card? I am however searching for the best fit for my set.
Also, I think i need to search for an appropriate ROM for my fuze this time.
Thanks again.
Um yeah...you might've just bricked your phone. Your best bet is trying to reflash your phone with an OEM ROM via a MicroSD card, then going to one of the cooked GSM roms on this forum.
Look at the stickied threads in this forum for the procedure and links to an ATT rom.
If that doesn't work, you could try going to an ATT store and playing dumb...there's a small chance they'll replace it under warranty if it hasn't expired yet. If all else fails...you might be able to score a fuze from ebay on the cheap...I'm sure there's a lot of people upgrading to touch pro 2.
Thanks for your reply.
streetlight22 and Ted, Thanks for your reply. I will try this today. Keeping my fingers crossed . If this works, I would be happier than ever (not because I could save some bucks.. but because I love my fuze and can't see it dying).
Every where the step says "renaming the ROM nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh or something like that. I am wondering if I also need to rename the .nbh file to something before running the update.
The rom image will be named ruu_signed.nbh (if it's a custom rom) or something longer if it's a stock rom. You should try a stock ATT rom image. Just rename it, stick it on the root of your sd card (must be FAT32), and see if you can go into bootloader. If you can't get into bootloader, you're screwed. Remember to hold volume down for several seconds after soft resetting. Press it down before soft resetting. If the tri-color screen doesn't appear, you're in trouble. It should appear briefly, then go grey with a message like 'loading image,' then it will tell you to push power. But if you flashed a diamond cdma rom, you may have totally screwed things up. Most people seem to recover from cdma touch pro roms, but if it's from a different device, you may be screwed.
Hi, if the tri colour screen appears you can try flashing trough your PC, it should find new hardware (htc hot sync or similar), then there should be USB written in the lowest part, then you can flash watever you want from the PC in the manner you are used to.
It worked.. it worked.. my fuze is now up and running WM 6.1. Thanks to all...! Special thanks to Ted for his quick reply and the tip "Remember to hold volume down for several seconds after soft resetting. Press it down before soft resetting". This is what I was not trying inorder to connect fuze with my laptop. My set is back to normal, up and running cool...
Once again thanks to everybody. xda-developers is really really a life saver . Great job guys, keep going...keep helping newbies like us.... we really need u
Help needed.!!!
My phone suddenly started turning off today and did the vibrate then freeze on boot issue on me.. (overheating?? far too quickly)
so i thought ok .. i'll put a stock rom back on 3.14 uk (not actually able to download for my serial number from htc.com but i got it off the forum, original rom was 1.66 i think a few months back)
I did this and it still over heats..so i thought i'll remove hspl and put stock spl on to take it for repair/return sell to cex or something.
i got the 3.14 nbh and renamed in LEOIMG and everything was fine an seemed to be flashing ok..
it was at the red/green/blue screen for ages and the text did display spl.304 rather than hspl.. so i thought..cool..its done.. so i removed the battery and put it back in..
BAD MISTAKE!!
i get these errors issues now:
triangle with software update failed try again when i turn it on
0028022 "not allow" text when i go into bootloader
i cant load a rom because i dont seem to have hspl anymore
i get "upgrade rom coded error try again".. on the coloured screen in boatloader
i get critial error bad spl version when i try to use hspl2/3
when i try to flash with stock rom again i get to 2% then get the errors:
invalid vendor id error 294
then goes to software update failed triangle try again
am i basically f**ked???
Did i remove the battery mid flash during the spl bit?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP WISE PEOPLE!!

****.... tough luck mate....
As long as u got rid of hspl you should be able to get the phone fixed by htc or tmobilie or whatever plan ur on..
Good luck
bought it off ebay..so cant really take it to my provider..the phone is over (just) a year old so probably not in htc warranty? how do i check?
i will donate money to anyones paypal account if they can help fix this
Install the correct stock ROM (the one who match with your S/N) over SD.
how do i know which matches? and how do i do it via sd?

Put in your serial no of your phone (found underneath the battery) into the HTC support website and you will find the ROM that matches your phone. You will then need to download the ROM, extract it and take the .img file out of it and rename it as LEOIMG as before and flash via SD card.
shouldn't even need to use sd card. the correct rom should downgrade the spl over usb.
phone into bootloader,connect usb, run your update .exe, done.
you are guilty of getting over excited and lack of research. five minutes should have told you that you can't use hspl to install 3.14, and that flashing from sd first removes hspl,changes spl, then runs the compatibility tests again and shows exclamation mark if it fails.
I had the same problem i thought i bricked my htc which i was testing before buying i know stupid idea brick the phone before i buy it, basically i had installed hspl 2.08 from 1.42.00 and installed the froyo ROM build which was all good it was working but running really slowly, i couldnt get the ringtone to change which was probably due to the fact that the build did not come with any preinstalled which is fine as i downloaded a ring on mp3 and set it as that, and the radio was one of the latest which wasnt giving me a good reception so i decided, fine that's ok let me get my hands on some apps now so i downloaded a couple tweaks, multiboot and games and put them on my sd card; as well as a tweak to enhance the speed as it was going really slowly on the android, the second i put my sd card into the phone and tried running metamorph an app i was advised to use to apply a windows 7 mobile theme the phone went blank, the only way to get the phone into tri coloured screen mode was to plug it in via the FRONT usb port of my machine which would bring my phone back to life.........oh so i thought, so i was able to see the phone load up to htc white load screen and it would display my buil in red BUT after that it should show the "quietly something something message" and load right.....WRONG the phone just restarted and it would just do the same thing go to htc and restart so i managed to use the vol down+cancel call button to kick it into the tri coloured screen and managed to get the phone back into hspl 1.42.00 which completed but then i still couldnt get past the htc welcome screen!! ARGHH!!! So after spending a whole night applying different hspl's and trying to reflash teh rom via usb and failing i thought id give up and just pay for a bricked phone which i was paying £150 for btw (i know a bargain and brand new!!!) BUT as i came into work today i thought let me try a different pc as that may affect it, and after i downloaded an official ROM update for the phone 1.72 i i plugged my phone in and after literally 20 seconds the bloody thing turned on and started working as normal with no multiboot or rom installed i think i shall be CAREFULLY installing android on the phone one last time. . . . I hope this helped any users out there as i was panicking, and please remember that whatever you do is seriously AT YOUR OWN RISK, do not just jump the gun...sit down do some proper reading and watch some videos because after having to trouble shoot i must say im pretty good at applying roms hahahah i shall be very cautious from now on though. . .. sorry if the post was too long i am a noob my first post!!
yes.. i managed to fix it.. the same way kurt willems above mentioned... i installed the stock voda rom that matched my serial number.. kurt send me you paypal email and i'll bung a few quid in for your help..
gonna swap this phone for the galaxy s... good swap?
So u managed to save ur HD2 and now u wanna swap it?
keep HD2. Its great, and so many possibilities. U must know what ur doing, tho (kindof)
Also, his link for donation is everywhere. 'DONATE' 'DONATE TO ME' 'If you like my work buy me a beer'

im a bit sick of the winmo set up... it's just abit too fiddly with soo many settings to mess with..plus the handset gets hot too quickly recently and turns off, vibrates when i turn it on and freezes... need to get rid before it gets worse.. cant be bothered with the hassle.... besides.. i like the android phones..so ill go back to them...
right im having some real issues now, i decided NOT to mod my phone again, because once my phone started up again i had to insert the simcard so i turned the phone completely off took out the batt and re-inserted the simcard and then it was bricked again (htc welcome screen, then restarts then back to htc welcome screen and repeat) after that i tried another go at installing the hspl again i just took a random version tbh and tried that as mine is factory unlocked uk htc, and then it failed i then took out the battery and notice that the spokes that connect to the metal part of the battery was a bit crooked so i carefully reseated the battery and hey presto its working again ( i can get into the phone home screen etc) so i quickly downloaded the origional spl from theunlockr"dot"co(m)/2010/04/22/how-to-get-the-htc-hd2-back-to-stock/ and installed it and then gave the phone a factory reset and now it seems to be back to how it would be if it was brand new but now im in a dilemma as i dont know which spl to use as well as what rom is best suited for teh spl and radio because i do not want to brick my phone again because if it does i will end up going back to the phone that has lasted me the longest nokia 6200 XD

Firstly you haven't bricked your phone. Bricking your phone means that it is reactive as a brick - it does not switch on.
To get the latest standard ROM, then go to the HTC website for your area, select the ROM you require and enter your phone's serial number. If you are entitled to use that ROM, then it will download. If not then you will get an error message. You may have to select your operator's version of the ROM.

Assuming, from your icons, that the HD2 is locked to O2; therefore you should be able to download the O2 1.72 ROM (no HSPL required) and it will not invalidate your warranty.
nope thats just what tariff i am using. . .Ive been looking around and now im qutie confused i thought the process for having android on the htc was literally
Download a hspl and install - reset
Download a radio and install - reset
Run CLCARD.EXE then HARET.EXE and presto were in android, now unless something has changed is this right because im about to.
Download hspl3 and install - reset
Download radio and install - reset
Download a ROM and install and - reset
now is this the neccessary steps or am i about to mess up my phone again =.=
It would be helpful to know which ROM, RADIO and SPL you already have.
As for running Android, all that is pre-required is that you have the minimum .50 RADIO (it should be specified in the Android ROM's page). Although flashing the newest RADIO (2.15.50.14) won't do any harm.
Although I am with T-Mobile UK, I have the HTC 1.66WWE ROM, 2.15.50.14 RADIO and 1.66HSPL (via HSPL2). I downloaded an Android version and installed it on the SD Card. It works fine. Since I only tried it a couple of times, I can say that it boots and generally works. But I prefer WimMo.
