I acidently loaded the firmware for I-mate on to my XDA II and now all that comes up on the screen is HTC engineering mobility V0.23. I also can't get it to sink. What should i do?
This is a Demo phone i got for free so i cant send it back.
Thanks for any help
1. I can reassure you that you really did destroy your OS! :lol:
2. Try search at this site, this sort of topic has been being discussed since...
...I don't remember!
3. Have a glance at threads, discussing SD method of OS flashing + you'll need a ROM image file (for any kind of XDA2) and an SD card (>=64Mb).
Loading a new rom with an MMC or SD card
ok i went to www.romkitchen.de and created a rom for pocket pc 2002. So now all i need to do is load it on to my MMC card, put in into my XDA2 and reboot?
Pocket PC 2002 or Windows Mobile 2003 for a XDA2
Should i use Pocket PC 2002 or Windows Mobile 2003 for a XDA2?
Stop!!! The site you are looking at is cooking roms for the old XDA 1, it is not for XDA 2!
TY, i got a copy of some one elses OS, and im going to try to flash it with an SD card.
That didnt work, I dont think im putting it on the SD card right? Do i just copy it to the card or do i need to do somthing to the .nb1 file to make it a boot file?
Also my Bootloader is V0.23 kinda old.
Does any one know of a place i can send this to get it fixed in the US? This is a Demo phone i dont think i can send it back to O2.
Don't give it up yet.
1. XDA2 ROMs are marked 1.xx (1.60, 1.72...) - you need this ones.
2. How do you put it to the SD? You need OSimageTool or maybe other program to put it to the card in RAW format - not converted by active sync or so...
I tried using the OSimageTool to save the .nb1 into the .img but it tells me "don’t know how to write distinationfile". I was able to convert the .nb1 in to a .nbf but that’s it. Is there another conversion program out there?
Sorry i ment "destinationfile" all one word
xdatools are ONLY for xda1

Is there a way to make a boot disk out of an SD card if so how?
Mine is defiantly wiped if I try to run an update to 1.60 using HimaUpgradeUt.exe it show all my image versions as blank. When I hit upgrade it just hangs on the install screen that says "current software is now being erased from your pocket PC. This will take only a few minutes." The progress bar never advances from there, I've tried to reset and it’s the same thing over and over.
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!

At least tell us you Hard SPLed your Hermes, look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
You need to do this BEFORE upgrading the rom. You need Hard SPL V7.

Go to page 116,post 1160 of thread I gave you. It tells you how to install Hard SPL with the sd card.
Just remember, the sd card MUST be 2Gb or less, it has to formatted FAT32 and the spelling of hermimg.nbh is VERY important.
Cheers...

Just Did my phone for the first time
Go to this link first and make sure your phone has the latest version installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Follow the sets it's easy enough
After you soft reset your phone
That being done you'r now ready to flash a new rom there are plenty on the hermes windows mobile 6 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
I found this rom to be the most like the one on the u-tube video
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461490
Down load the rom, extract the files
rename the ruu_sgned file to "Hermimg"
Now put a micro SD memory card in a card reader
open my computer right click the drive that represents the memory card and format it
choose the fat 32 file system.
now copy the hermimg fie to the root of the card
soft boot your phone
press the power button to comfirm the rom update and watch the progress bar
when complete
reset your phone and the new software will install
if you get a new soft ware installed do you want to reset pick no
the phone will reset when all the software is installed.
great stuff
try a few rom
find the one you like best
sry but you will need to put that card in your phone after you copy hermimg onto it
maybe you should go to the how to unbrick my phone thread
didn,t see that last post
ouch!!
here's the best chance at I solution

Go here
I hope you find an answer
1) how do i install ROM (themes) on my Touch Dual (20 key)? i see a one on here that i want to install but i have no clue how.
2) where would i find drivers to get my PC to pick up my phone, I don't have a working CD-Rom on my work computer and would like my PC to pick up my phone.
Sorry for being a complete n3wb but i just pick this phone up, and after being in the RIM world for four years i'm a winmo idiot.....
1) If you only need a theme don't flash. But new ROMs will provide you so many good thing that you should give them a try. Read the sticky about how to flash hardSPL then you'll be able to change ROM as you want.
2) If you're on XP install ActiveSync 4.5 or more. On Vista, I think Windows Mobile Device Center is installed by default, if not install it
PS : you're not an idiot, asking questions is the purpose of the forum

Okay lets say i want This ROM on my phone how do i go about doing it.
I looked at the sticky's titles and didn't see anything remotely close to a subject line comparing to what i was looking for.
For Android it's different : format a SD card to FAT32, then extract the ZIP content to its root, then launch haret.exe and wait for Android to launch.
Be carefull, since it's not a cold boot, it's very slow
