Hello,
My SPV M1000 (Himalaya) has WM5, and i was thinking about upgrading to Windows Mobile 6. But there were a few questions as i'm new to all this !
1) Which is the best WM6 ROM to use as there seems to be a few ?
2) How do i upgrade the ROM ???, (in English please as i'm not very up on all this!). Do i download the ROM to my SD card and run the .exe from there on the Pocket PC (or on the home computer) ?
3) Are these ROMs reversible incase there is some kind of error ?
I'm having issues with the phone feature on my M1000 (phone wont work at all !), so i am hoping an upgrade to WM6 (or even reflashing the ROM to WM5 will solve this ?
Best Regards,
Andrew
1 matter of taste as the diff is in general which programs are preinstalled in the rom
2 all roms rar or zip packet include a readme.txt which describe step by step how one install them and all any of us can do is to copy paste the content of that file..
Ahh, cheers for the info Rudegar !. Much appreciated,
Andy

hello,
Would anybody be so kind to give a step by step manual of switching from t-mobile 1.60 to qtek 1.66 please?
please note: i have no idea what i need to do with those passwords, neither with what it says on this link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
Much too complicated for me... :roll:
Isn't there a different way to upgrade to a different ROM?
thanks for your help.
John
Why would you want to do this? To get QTEK features instead of T-mobile? If so, there is a much easier way than flashing...
1. Unhide/Unlock your extended rom (see front page of site in top news article).
2. Remove all of the files from your extended ROM
3. Get a copy of the New Extended Rom files you want. This forum tells how to do that.
4. Copy them into the extended rom area of the device.
5. Hard Reset -- you are done.
You never touched the Radio Stack, the Main OS, and did not have to flash, which is much safer way of upgrading / changing.
Make sure you copied all of the files from the new EXT ROM, not just the CAB files (but you can delete the odd CAB file if you know which one and why you want to do it)
I have a Qtek 2020 from Dubai (the middle east), my Qtek has a 1.66.00WWE Rom and I want to upgrade it to 1.72WWE, I found a ROM for the iMate, is this ROM compatible (by compatible I mean will it work if I start the installer) or do I need to do something to.
I got the Rom from here
Code:
http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page423.html
Yes you can upgrade without problems, then, eventually, edit the extended rom to get rid of iMate unnecessary stuff (if there is any).

ther is already exist 1.72 original Rom for Qtwk2020
in this post page 9

Hi Hussain,
Did you install the ROM. I too have same Qtek2020 and have downloaded the relavent Rm but would like to know if any one else has tried it and their experiences. :?:
Also I would like to put some of my standard software in ext ROM. How can I make cab files for the same and also put in registration info. If not directly at least a text file with my ids and regcodes so that I can hard reset even away from my PC.
Please explain me how can I do upgrade windows ce in my MDA 2.
Step by step. Need I special program to format sd card ? What is country ID problem in this case. When I try upgrade directly ( USB ) then see :
error geting device data. File getdevdata.exe - kill my system and MDA display only bootloader screen ( serial/usb , v1.03 ). Thanks for advice....
the rom KITCHENs are ONLY!!!! for xda1 never xda2
Whats a pity ! Unluckily certain You have right. So, how can I prepare my own ROM. Means best like rom kitchen but not necessarily. I know about Extennded ROM Editor (by the way:the password (e.g. HTC) will be wrong:.......). Thanks for reply
Hi Folks,
I'm using iMate pocket PC which i bought from India. Its awesome while sync with my exchange server and get me entire mailbox of mine to the device.
I also want to check whether i can enjoy the WM2003SE on this device. I have been reading quite a few posts on WM2003SE for XDA here (i'm not sure whether this is the right forum to talk bout the iMate; however, i tried coz i seen a category for HTC).
I know for sure that the vendor has not yet published WM2003SE for iMate PPC. however, Could anybody please let me know if i can upgrade my iMate to WM2003SE (i'm crezy about it and a couple of days back i just decided to use one of the upgrade from this site and somehow cud hold myself as i cud not predict what its going to do with my device ). If its possibel, from where shall I get the upgrade?
thanks in advance.

Hi Columbus,
thanks for the response,
Wud this upgrade work with the iMate Pocket PC from India?
thats what is the concern for me. I have seen threads where we need to modify the .nbf files for the operator / country codes. Do i need to modify the .nbf file for this upgrade?
thanks.

From Today screen, goto START/Settings/System/Device Information.
What's your ROM version/date, Radio version etc?
You can search and check out DCS posting on how to check the operator code on the .nbf files and your devices.
Alternatively, if you are not too worry about changing the operator code (since the upgrade to WM2003SE voids warranty anyway), you can run the upgrade only with HimaUpgradeUt.exe (remove the HimaGetDeviceData.exe and HimaClearJumpCode.exe).
There exists many tutorials/tips from people who have tried the upgrade, so have a good read and copy the important tips.
Some general tips from me:
(a) Backup all your important data (calendar schedule, docs, contacts etc)
(b) Be mentally prepared to spend quite awhile doing the upgrade. Smooth upgrade -> 1-2 hours, Error-prone upgrade -> 1-2 days.
Do not rush, or you will find that 99% of the time, the error happens because you are careless. Always clarify, clarify, clarify.
(c) If encounter errors, copy the sequence of events, EXACT error messages, search for similar errors reported here. If unable to find, post your errors to request for urgent help!
(d) Also, if you have the luxury of a spare phone, keep that handy in case your mobile phone connectivity is indispensable to you.
(e) If all else fails, be prepared for a downgrade back to the original ROM. Remember to download the original WM2003 ROM package as well.
good luck!

Hi there,
i have a problem, my hermes did a hard reset (after playing with Sktools) ,and the bad thing is that i took all the cabs out of the extrom to free space and install other( prog not cab).
Now, after using V3a unlocker and the cab mountAllExtom, i see the ext rom
and can erase progs in it but the memory remains in use . i only have 0.84 M free .
can someone help me to recover all that precious space
Thank you

I'm not sure if this is the best way, but try to upgrade to lastest LVSW that includes Extended ROM, so after the upgrade, you can unlock in the same way you do in the past and use the 10Mb extra space.
Of course, if you are not planning to upgrade to WM6, don't follow me
REgards.
thank you jcespi2005
but i prefer to stay with a french and stabel rom. Are they any french patche for this rom.
Th
flash a NBH containing only an extrom using HardSPL, this will fix your issue.
Thanks Pof,
but i am a beginner.
Where can i find it or how can i do it ?
TH
wiki and forum, search for: nbhextract, nbhgen, hardspl and customRUU.
1) Flash HardSPL (latest version) on your phone
2) Extract ExtROM.nb from any shipped NBH (it doesn't matter which one) using nbhextract
3) Convert ExtROM.nb to NBH using nbhgen
4) Flash your newly created NBH file containing only ExtROM into your device using CustomRUU, make sure to start the upgrade in bootloader mode with activesync disabled.
super
muchas gracias Pof
I'll let you know if i succed
Thierry
Use the same guide here but change the technique to Ext.ROM only and don't select the OS.nb. In other words it's exactly the same steps exept for one.
filehttp://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/Downgrade/
ok sniper251
this means i only have to "click" on the extrom button and disregard the others ?
Yes and don't forget step #4 in Pof post assuming you have Hard Spl 1.40olipro.
Also you can check wether the .nb file is good or not before conversion using the file attached.
It worked fine to extarct the extrom.nb but which command do i need to execute the NBHgen ?
BTW i could not download the koch generator
Thanks for help
Thierry
