As I have seen many are still struggling with the upgrade or having post-upgrade problems I am posting this thread in hope of helping those Xda II owners from the O2 Asia affected or concerned.
The end result of the upgrade will be as follows.
ROM version: 2.06.00WWE
ROM date: 06/14/04
Radio version: 1.18
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.12.925WWE
DeviceData:
U S B 3 2 2 . 0 6 . 0 0 W W E P H 1 0 O 2 W W E 1 . 1 2 . 9 2 5 W W E 1 . 1 8 . 0 0
This upgrade has been performed on my Xda II which has a BootLoader 1.01 hence those with a later BootLoader please consider this thoroughly.
Errors
First off. If previous attempts have been fouled by the Country ID error obstacle please proceed with this step to rectify by reverting your Xda II back to original O2 state. Else skip this.
Download the compressed file attached, unzip and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe whilst your Xda II is docked and ActiveSynced.
Flash
Here is the upgrade proper.
Download the compressed file attached, unzip and if you are equipped, modify the Extended ROM to your fancy as you deemed fit.
Else run HimaUpgradeUt.exe whilst your Xda II is docked and ActiveSynced.
TBC
Will resume morrow with enhancements that are left out from the Extended ROM.
I have 'No Eye Deer' what the response would be like for this thread as what I only wish to offer is stability and reliability.
Anyways I would want to take this opportunity to thank all those involved and contributed in making WM 2003 SE on the Xda II a reality.
RE
OK brother of the same land!
I'll try it tonight. However, just a few ideas for your EXT ROM.
Is the bluetooth icon on Today's screen still playing hide-and-seek? I tried Buzz and another guy's solution (at othet threads) but they still don't work especially when switching from landscape-to-portrait and vice versa and performing other tasks when there's a need to do a screen refresh. If it works flawlessly for your PPC maybe you can incorporate into the EXT ROM depending on which version you're using.
Secondly, can incorporate the latest SDIO WiFi driver (just released) because I could not find the cab file for the EXT ROM installation.
Thirdly, can replace with colourful keyboard layout instead of the default mono keyboard? Not sure how to do it from the EXT ROM side.
I think the rest I can customize myself
Many thanks Dr.

Thanks for the support and feedback Bro.
Initially the reason behind me intentionally leaving out some of the cabinet files are so that users can customize to their own flavour but keeping those that are the backbone of a reliable and stable WM 2003 SE Xda II.
However your point is noted and I think it is a good idea. I am working on it now.
Revised Extended ROM
The Extended ROM has been revised to contain BlueTooth Today Profile Fix. Please redownload from the earlier post thank you.
As for the other enhancements as promised will be provided soon.
This thread is also for new Xda II users/owners who are keen on upgrading to WM2003SE but keep running into a wall or are clueless. Simply download and run the ROM and your Xda II should be up and running on WM2003SE.
Seasoned members who suffer from post-upgrade problems and issues please feel free to ask about customizing your own Extended ROMs and compatibilities.
RE
Hi Dr,
One thing I notice is that the SDIO WiFi cab file (the older version) is rather large and incorporating it into the EXT ROM wil mean you don't have enough EXT ROM memory for other cab files.
Quote
"Please download from first post thank you"
BTW I don't have the country ID error so should I download the O2.zip or the XDAIIx.zip? Are you saying the XDAIIx.zip do not have the bluetooth today profile fixl?
Thanks
Can i use extended rom unlocker and directly import the contents of the rom on my xda then make a hard reset or is it more advisable to re-flash the rom with se2?
Thanks!
Re: RE
As I have reiterated the enhancements will be attached in another post. It will include procedures to exploit the Storage folder as an Extended Extended ROM.

Bro you can download the XdaIIx.zip and upgrade as you do not have the Country ID Error. I have tweaked my ROM to default original O2 state so if you do run into the error than you should run the fix in the O2.zip file.
The revised Extended ROM now contains the BlueTooth Today Profile Fix.

If your Xda II is already running on WM2003SE 2.06.00WWE (neat - untouched) and has no issues or problems you may perform the former but if you do I strongly suggest the latter.
RE
Hi DR.
Once you've finished your new EXTROM could you upload as a zip file instead of the ms_.nbf file.
The reason is that we already have the main ROM and the radio installed so no point going through that process again. Using zip file I can further customize and install the files into my EXTROM and perform a hard reset to get the installation done.
Thanks.
Extended ROM
I shall upload both the ms_.nbf and *.zip files for ease of new owners/users and for seasoned ones respectively.

Thank you! I find this post really useful!
You can see A LOT of people getting VERY confused with all of the ROMs circulating on this site, especially with different dates of upgrade. I hope the other guys will also post their very latest ROMs that have been tested and improved.
Thanks again!

RE
OK guys!
Finally, I solved the mystery of why after loading the profile.dll (even in the EXT ROM) my Today bluetooth icon still disappears despite successful reports from other users.
What I've done was go to the EXT ROM (with the profile.dll loaded in it) and click on the profile.dll cab file. It'll ask you to soft reset your PPC and after which the bluetooth icon on the Today screen remains sticky FOREVER!
:lol:
Now, the question is why during the booting up phase after a hard reset the profile.dll cab is not activated? Instead Ive to go to the EXT ROM to activate it after the complete installation?
DR, can you look into this? Does this happen to your installation?
Thanks
:roll:
BTHS Today Profile
I believe Guru buzz_lightyear has already guided you to enlightenment on that.
Sorry folks I will be swamped these few days (what weekend?) but I will try my best to resume ASAP.
Hey bro Stein..
Great post for all those newbies and others who aren't clued in on the upgrading process...
may try upgrading as well over the weekend too...

Just to clarify Bro.
Where is this profile.dll from? Is it from buzz_lightyear (included in my Extended ROM) or elsewhere?
TIA.
As I mentioned, the OS version is still 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4). This will be my only work on WM6. Maybe the softwares will still be updated in the future.
I've done those changings:
- Used Adobe Reader LE 2.5 instead of ClearValuePDF, and updated to the latest build 103401.01
- Used Jbed instead of Jblend, and the build of Jbed is 20080610.2.1
- Updated .NET Compact Framework from 2.0 to 3.5
- Updated the Windows Live for Windows Mobile from version 10.6.0033.0600 to 10.6.0034.0800
- Added OneNote Mobile into Office Mobile
- Added China, Hong Kong and other options in Regional Settings
- Removed the HTC Enlarge Start Menu (It will be included again in my WM6.1 modified ROMs)
- Removed .NET Compact Framework v3.5 Messages CHT for Windows Mobile
- Customer Feedback is placed back
My first WM6.1 ROM has been finished. Come here if you are interested in it.
Remember, I'm just a beginning-level cook. Please don't just leave swearing posts if there is something wrong... Thanks.
Instruction: Just flash my ROM like what you've done for medkid's.
Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?edmztnl1y00
In my opinion, MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS is a very stable rom. I never find the major problem with this rom before.
However, the only problem that I really concern is the RAM of this rom is too low. So if you can include the RAM management program (Oxios CloseApps) in your rom, that would be good. And if you can make this rom have more RAM, that would be the best.
One more request for you to consider, the software that make flash of ATOM Life to be torch is very useful too.
That all from my side. However, if you just post your rom like you talk. I am also still interesting in your rom.
Thanks, mate. Over 100 views and you posted the first response...
Yes, I agree you point. But my target of cooking is to only make ROMs that very like the official ROM. I won't add anymore other new softwares that do not come from Microsoft or MWg or O2 in order to keep the ROM stable. I will only exchange the softwares that I think they're useless.
Anyway, I'll think about how to reduce more memory consumtion. I've thought about that and you gave me the push. I'll find methods to do that. Thanks mate.
Hi aa125690.
great to hear that we have another budding cook amidst us. Please do post your ROM so that we cn test it and notify you of any bugs or crashes. Together we all can help improve ROM development. As Frioniel said torch and oxios close apps are very important applications. Also please try to reduce the pagepool to increase more free RAM. Personally I never used MWG ROM, because I always go for newer builds
Even Medkid's 6.1.0.9 is very stable for me. TM2's 22070 ROM had some issues like restarting when battery nears 40%, lesser battery life.
One more thing, if you could also provide the option for regional settings for many other countries as an add on option later on.
My 2 cents.

I am using T2M's, but no restarting issue. I see that you are using a 4G miniSD. I am wondering if you have any problem like me - when you go \start menu\program\games (I install games on SD card), it will cause the system paused for 2 to 3 minutes, for the first time after soft reset. This applies to all ROMs I have tried. Same thing happens if using file explorer to access the \start menu\program\games folder for the first time after soft reset. However, it will be ok then. It will reduce the pause time to less than a minute for 2G, and un-noticeable with 1G.
Any good idea or suggestion? Thank you.
O.S.

Same here. Been using v6.1.0.9 for sometime now. Ram and battery is quite important for me. The battery can go down to as low as 9% without shutdown. See screenshot.

Because other guys have already posted the modified high-level ROMs, I'll only create stable WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs as unofficial "pre-officialp)" ROMs at the moment. I'll modify WM6.1 ROMs after that. But I prefer to make the "pre-official" version first.
I use the wince.nls file from medkid's ROM, so if you find the option you want in Regional Settings in medkid's ROM, you won't be failed to find that in mine.
By the way, I'm still doing some update and upgrade works on my ROM. And if anybody has suggestion about where I should upload, please tell me.
Maniac2403, thanks for suggestion. I think you could be a cook better than me(maybe you've already been a cook). Rom cooking is a quite easy job if you study and work hard. Really.

I've made a ROM modified from the official MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS. Just changed something necessary in order to make it become more usable and keep it stable. So, the OS version is still 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4). My work on WM6 will always stick on this version, as it may be the most stable ROM for Atom Life.
I've done those changings:
- Use Adobe Reader LE 2.5 instead of ClearValuePDF
- Use Jbed instead of Jblend, and the build of Jbed is 20080610.2.1
- Add OneNote Mobile into Office Mobile
- Add China, Hong Kong and other options in Regional Settings
- Customer Feedback is hided
I'm actually still trying to upgrade the Internet Explorer Mobile from version 7.6 to 7.11, and the Windows Live for Windows Mobile from version 10.6.0033.0600 to 10.6.0034.0800. And I may not work for WM6 anymore after that. I'll start trying to build WM6.1 ROMs, and try to keep them as stable as the official WM6 ROM at the same time.
Who's interested in it? If someone wants stable ROMs, I'll upload my ROMs. The one I've just made works stably in my Atom Life.

Do u come from Hong Kong ?
I want to know that if u have a situation like this: the device becomes very slow after using FM radio for sometime, provided that the device is using official WM6 rom. However, there is no such problem when it is using official WM5 rom.
I have take the device to the CS to check if there is any problem. But they only help me to flash the rom again. The problem still sticks with me.
Anyway, thx for ur great contribution

Hehe.. I tried cooking, don't know what went wrong
Would try again when I have free time though. I still haven't got how to port my own XIP instead of using other XIP's.
Anyways you can build a 'Vanilla' ROM for Atom Life, as there are none of these kinds.
Regarding upload. Anywhere except rapidhshare
Also regional settings are hard to comy by for India . Any tricks up your sleeve for it ?

Yea I use a 4GB card by Sandisk When I had got the card I had formatted it to Fat32 using a Win98 machine. You know the 'format' in command
Normally when I reboot my phone, I remove the MiniSD out of its slot. The delay happens under two circumstances.
1. Programs installed on the storage card
Reading from storage card takes a lil more time as compared to Main memory which is a flash memory. So more the memory more time it would take to sort through all files.
2. Fragmented files on the card
You can plug the card to your home computer and defragment it once in a while. That should speed up performance.

Hi all,
This is a new test build of WM 6.5. the honeycomb in this version is a bit diferent.
I made this ROM only for test as these builds of wm6.5 are all beta. So use it at your own risk. In my device it worked very well.
Remember to do a soft reset after flash.
PS. It's for old gene. I don't plan to release it for new gene but ROM is unprotected so feel free to port it to new gene or modify its contents.
Thanks to Ankit for the sources.
Changelog
Version 1.1 - Download
- Fixed bluetooth issue
- Added Clock to Titanium
- Added MarketPlace
- Removed some appz

Thanks for new build...
Will give F/B very soon...
Hey Ramerson, i am also working on this build for new gene, i too took XIP and SYS from Ankit's source. I have a great ROM at hand, with only two problems:
1. On connecting data cable, when passthru internet connection is established, the phone hangs. Touchscreen is responsive but software is not. If backlight becomes dim and i touch the screen it lits up, but nothing works untill a soft reset.
2. NO 3rd party keyboard is working. I am using IOLite Ezinput keyboards which are working fabulously on my previous rom.I tried installing other keyboards too, nothing worked. On selecting any keyboard from SIP menu, the default keyboard comes up.
Apart from these, th ROM is working fabulously well on my new gene.

build 21198 has this issue wait for 212xx
Thanks for the reply Ankit.But buddy, when i first created a test build of this ROM with old internet explorer, the keyboard did worked. But the new widgets and even sms work on new IE so i had to put it back. But after that, these problems came into picture. I cannot undestand what is happening. Lets see if there is anything i could do, otherwise will have to wait.
BTW, the only thing i liked about the WM 6.5 is the new look of scrollbars, titlebars etc and the Titanium TOday plugin. Its really very good and alllows information display along with letting the user enjoy his/her wallpaper too.
Start menu of this build is good but it lacks the recent applications area which was very useful.
If i can get titanium on WM 6.1, i will be more than happy

Hi Sumit,
This build has some improvements from old ones, but it still have some issues. I made it only for test because i didn't build any wm6.5 yet. Have you checked if bluetooth works? Fuguru reported it didn't work. I checked other roms with the same build and found that they also have similar problems.
I'll wait for the next build to update this ROM (I hope this errors don't appear again).
at least this build is fast.
For now i agree with Ankit, it is not worth wasting time with this build.

Yes the build has good improvements, the fluidness of Titanium as well as scrolling of new Start Menu is great. Bluetooth, i didn't checked, i had to go somewhere so i flashed back my ProUsers ROM and did a SKTools restore just now. Anyways, non working keyboard is enough reason for me to stay away from this as i cannot live without the IOLite keyboards, i do a lot of sms and email typing.
I'll wait for the next build to update this ROM (I hope this errors don't appear again).
at least this build is fast.
For now i agree with Ankit, it is not worth wasting time with this build.

Thats what i have been saying since the development started on this. The beta builds have debug mode code with them, so they are not worth wasting the time, other than learning purpose. I'll make a true ROM only when RTM arrives. But ya, Ankit has done some good work on these Betas.
@all: For the users who are using Ramerson's kitchen for WM 6.5 ROM building, i would like to point out one thing. It uses GReloc in between the build process so the kitchen wont work like it use to.
You will first need to divide packages into smaller sub groups (in sub folder i mean) and then run a full greloc on it. If it still gives error "Integer Overflow", then dont close the Greloc window, press the Doit button once again. This time it will show you the path of the module which is causing error. Go to that module folder and delete the .tmp file there. This will be locked so you will need to use something like unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/) to unlock the file. AFter that, again press Do It button and it will do the relocating without problems. In my case the problematic file was htmlnote.dll in SYS\Redist folder.
Once i did that, old Greloc worked fine. WMreloc also works but its tricky to use it with Ramerson's kitchen and it is not bug free either. It sometimes overlaps module addresses which result in non bootable ROMs.
I saw on internet chinese ROM WM 6.1 for our Acer S200 . It inspired me to cook WM 6.1 ROM in english. So it is here .
ROM with WM 6.1 run nice - is fast and stable. It is clean ROM based on the newest WM 6.1 build - 21057.
Free RAM after boot WM is 132MB .
Free storage is similar to WM 6.5 - 313MB.
Download: Kubino's WM 6.1 clean
Please do not reupload my ROM. If the link doesn't work, I will reupload it.
Ya-ba-daba-doooooooo! Will test it soon. And where is kitchen? I wish to try some COOKING to build rom with some HTC apps.
I cooked this ROM with kitchen Barin's OSBuilder. If you want, I will send you the kitchen with this ROM.
Kubino, that would be nice.
Thanks, I will try it
Thank you for a nice rom.

Where is not saved user name and password? In Connections are a lot of programs.
Happy as a pig in **** with it so far Kubino, have had a couple of freezes in WMP which is a bit unusual, but the main functionality is very stable and fast, so glad someone saved me the job of trying to do this myself, don't much like 6.5 menu/start/back/multiselect changes.

Thank you for the reply.
I wrote and preserved the user name and password.
However, when I saw the user name and password again, it was empty.
Has anybody else who has used this rom found data not working eg GPRS,HSDPA ?
Kubino, cant integrate NET CF 3.5 to rom it kitchen. I've deleted NET CF 2.0 files and place files of NET CF 3.5 in SYS\Common\NETCF. Now OSBuilder gives error about missing files of NETCF 2.0
How can it be solved?

Yes, I tested today. I didn't test before because I'm not using GPRS/EDGE or 3G/HSDPA. I'm trying fix it. I tried cook ROM based on previous build - 21056 but it has the same problem. Probably the problem is with radio, which acer do for WM 6.5.

Try this NETCF. It is 3.5 from WM 6.5.

Bummer, wonder if the radio from a toshiba TG01 could be used being the same hardware on 6.1 originally ?
hello
is there any fix for data connections.
thank you
Yes, I can't use it because of this, don't have the talent/time to fix it, pity because of the amazing speed on this 6.1 rom.

Review
After flash with your ROM, get about 20Mb Free RAM. Add SPB Mobile Shell, with 2GB MemCard plus other application, its about 13Mb Free RAM.
Can't replace battrey taskbar with percent battrey.
All function work on mine, tomorrow will give another review after finished all seting.
Thanks for your great ROM

Dude... I'm quite interested in what you install after hard-resetting... The RAM load in your device seems to be pretty heavy.
When I was a newbie of official and medkid's ROMs, I installed a lot of softwares as well. But now I keep my device from those which are seldom used(just storing them), and use the default applications as often as possible. For instance, I used WkTask very often before using WM6.5 ROMs, but since WM6.5 consume too much RAM space, I decided not to use WkTask any more; instead, I use the default Task Manager now(assigned to the hardware button of Record).
Actually, to release much RAM space, I use WM6.1 themes when I'm using WM6.5. Besides, I disable the default lock screen and Titanium. Those let me get about 20 MB in WM6.5 system. Nevertheless, the Start Menu is an annoying cause of RAM consumption...
But I still advise you to use WM6.5 instead of WM6.1, 'cause user interface & scrolling engine are not the only improvements of WM6.5. The codes of WM6.5 are much optimized. Some new functions, e.g. widgets & Office Mobile 2010, are exclusive for WM6.5.

1. On your Atom Life, go to Setting ==> Connection ==> USB to PC then select Mass Storage Mode, then connect to your PC / Notebook
2. Format your Memory Card FAT only
3. After you download New ROM, extract file AL1.DIO to your Memory Card
4. Make sure you have 70% off batt on your Atom Life
5. Press Record Button, then tick your reset button with stylush. WAit till percentage count, then you can release record button.

I use Microsoft My Phone for backing up SMS and PIM, and Windows Live for backing up contacts.
I haven't used other backup software since a long time ago... So I can't suggest any. By the way, I remember that you can just copy the cemail.vol and pim.vol file in the root of the File Explorer. That equals backing up you SMS and PIM.
Quick check: SD Card needs to be less than 1 Gig for this?
I've been on WM5 for always on an Atom Life and I think its time for a change.
Updated Screen Picture
After try and try with many software to improve My Atom Life with your Clean ROM, I get about 15Mb free of RAM. Last try disable auto Keyboard change.
Here it is my Screenshoot
Thanks Mr. aa, you are the best .....

No, the limitation is 128 MB to 2 GB... Remember to format you memory card to FAT16, and not to use miniSDHC card.
