Dose anyone still has a Extended Rom and see version # on WM5.0, After upgarde from 2003 to wn 5.0?
I don't have extended rom any more after i did upgarde.
if anyone does, please let me know how? or how to rebuild new one under 5.0!!
Thanks
If you following the wiki instructions, while upgrading, you were instructed to remove the ExtROM partition (actually, make it 128 KB only and format it). Thus, there is no ExtROM anymore. So, no one with a WM5.0 currently has an Extended ROM unless he made it manually.
Thanks for your reply. now i am happy that was not a mistake
:lol:

hi all,
I have a PDA2K that i'd like to edit the extended ROM of.
I've downloaded the ROM updates, but i'd like to customise the contents of ms_.nbf.
does anyone know the password?
if so, what tools do i need to get in there and edit the file?
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance !!
Hi,
I don't think i was clear enough in my original post, but can anyone at all help me with this ?
i've downloaded the lastet ROM update from club-imate:
ROM version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.162 WWE
I'm using WM 2003 ROM Image editor, so as I can customise my EX_ROM.
i've tried this password to try and unlock my ms_.nbf 0x20040522.
But it is the incorrect one.
anyone have any ideas ?
there's a free cookie for the person that helps me gain access to my EX_ROM
The program you've mentioned is not compatible with the PDA2K (Blueangel) roms. Therefore you cannot use it to edit your extended rom. I actually don't know a program that would do it for PDA2K. Sorry...
i had a feeling that would be the case
i've been able to unlock my EX_ROM, no problem.
I can create my own cab files, but what i CAN'T do is repack the ms_.nbf file, so as i can upload it back to my device.
would you know how to do that ?
hmmm, i mustn't have been logged in when i posted the above reply
Well, keep a copy of yor extended rom in the unpacked formatd ( cabs, autorun.exe, config.txt etc ) on your computer's harddrive. Once you've edited the extended rom, it will stay that way on your handheld until the next rom update, in other words everytime you hardreset your device the new edited extended rom will be excuted. And once you upgrade your rom, you can still copy the files back to your extended rom. It is kind of complicated and not the best way to resolve the problem but unfortunately the only way for now
yes, that way would work with my device.
problem i have is, that i'm building this as an SOE for a large corporation, so I need to deploy my image to many devices, making it a real pain in the hole.
anyways, thanks for your help thus far .
Did anybody having trouble with unlocking ExtendedROM after downgrading from WM5 ?
Il have problem with unlocking after downgrading to WM 2003 SE again
I got error message
THX
The ext ROM should not re-lock after upgrade / downgrade as the security code is changed and there is no way to re-lock it! Are you sure you re-configured your memory back to a 16MB area for ext rom before you downgraded?
I can't understand that - after I downgraded I can't see the Ext.Rom. I run the unlocker and unhider but still couldn't see it to load all the ol' ext.rom files in it.
As I said - did you resize the ext rom in WM5 before downgrading?
Not sure if it will work but try using the Repart tool under WM2003SE to reduce the size to give you back an ext rom (See the Wiki for downgrading)
I read the whole Wiki and even translated it into german for our german WM5 buddy's. I resized it AFTER the downgrade how it's been explained on the wiki.
I mean it's not a "Heeeelp" - because I installed the O2 GER CAB manually, I just wanted to know this.
You can downgrade to 2003SE and then using the partition tool create a new ext rom with 16384 kb which will you back your Ext rom. I hope this helps.
Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I am having the exact same problem. Followed the wiki to a T to downgrade from WM5, and all went well until I went to apply the extrom. Running the repart_doc tool it ran with success, but upon a soft reboot the extended_rom folder is not present. Any ideas?
Figured it out - extended rom was hidden. Grabbed a utility from xda-dev to unhide it and voila, it worked.
For anyone that cares, the newest t-mobile rom w/cooked ext works great on my M2000...
Sorry if this is posted before.
I've a problem with my extROM in my xda2s. Before it, ive followed all instruction to unlock my extROM, then partition it then i've made an upgrade with my xda2s with WM2k5_1.60c.00WWE_XDA2_HIMALAYA, first i've got checksum error, so ive made an editing with editfix, after that the himaupgrade checked that the rom, the extrom with strange version (its not like, eg. 1.40, it shows somekind of block & the other ascii character) except the radio. So I kept continue it doubtly & it 100 complete. After that ive got my device just showed with bootloder mode, even ive reset it. i guess that ive done a destructive way ( right ?) so i flashed it again with WM5_pack_V3.rar but with no extROM, & my device alive again so i tried to unlock my extROM with ExtROMUnlocker(for_WM2005_Only).cab, unhide was succeed, unlock was unsucceed, so what am i gonna do now ??? , please help me ... or i'll go to hell with the wrath of my parents .... hiks

Posting my experience for desingo
Well, i went so mad that i created http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Extended_ROM
that wm5 has no extended rom, i downgraded to wm3 first.
created with the doc resize tool a 'partition" of 4mb's.
than i upgraded back to wm5.
installed the patch, rebooted
now my extrom is visible (see picture on the wikipage) and big enough to put files in, i consider it for now as the /storage of wm2003.
The data survives a registry and storage reset under wm5, but it wont start up,(yet).
The BlueAngel seems to miss a extended rom driver and some registry settings.
If anybody knows what files are used to be in the extended rom driver, please tell me, i
want to try with the wm3se files to recreate that "driver".
Or will the registry cab "EXTROM" thats on the wiki will do if they where integrated in the patched rom version?
After i installed this patch, after a reboot my autorun starts to "install"
So this is where i stranded with this problem, since i got wm5 on.
Curently running on my BlueAngel:
Wm2003SE 4.21.1088 Build 15159..2.6.4
Rom version 1.42.00 WWE
Rom Date 09/05/05
Protocol 1337.42
Radio 1.13
Bluetooth build 3900
Extrom: 1.42.115 WWE

under wm2003
if you resized your rom to go to wm5 you need to resize it back to ?? i gues around 12 or 16mb? for himalaya do not know the value, must be done under wm2003
Than reinstall the wanted extended rom in .nbf with the no id loader.
note: make sure other 2 are nbf are not in, unless you want to do a full upgrade again.
You can always see ur extrom again, but it must be bigger then 128k
and use the extrom cab or a extrom unlocker tool.

i think i dont understand the problem proberly. :lol:
Once you upgraded to wm5 with 60mb storage, you wiped out the extrom password, so your extrom is already unlocked.
so if you go back to wm3 your extrom is stil unlocked.

Only if you want to stay om wm3
The time, id could save you 15minutes, but you must be running wm3 and resized your extrom back to the original size, before you can reinstall your extended rom

U need to unhide it. use the cab from mamaich on the wiki page that i created
I believe the instructions have been followed - I get the Error 100:Model ID Error. It is only after that that I realized I didn't have a PH20B. Is there is a way to make it install? Any suggestions if you believe I've overlooked anything? If not, what version of WM 5 will install on the SX66? Thanks
I cannot give you any garunttes that it will work, but try this modified 'setoperator.bat'
Also the camera is part of the rom so i dont kno what effect this wil have on a non-camera BA.
I was able to load WM5 on my Siemens SX66 with this change
Thank you so much - I was able to load the Ivan v4 on my SX66. Now need to load extended ROM programs. Should have everything tested out by Tuesday. Midget_1990 thank you for your help
Camera does show up but haven't checked to see what happens when try to activate - will advise all.
Hi all. I am having trouble with the tuma wm5 and i am trying to downgrade back to wm2003se. I have the directions listed below but I am unable to pass the first step.
I cant find the
"??Your_DIR??\Downgrade to WM2003SE" folder.
Im sure its simple but its beating me up.
Can anyone help me? has anyone done this before? any help would be greatly appreciated.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
What the wiki means by ??your_dir??\downgrad...... is that you need to download the BA WM5 Downgrade Pack and save it to a new folder. Once you have done that you should be able to follow the wiki instructions.
Why dont you try the new Logout WM5 ROM first. I just flashed it and it seems very stable. Better than going back to 2003SE any day!!
Good luck
I checked out the logout thread earlier today. Im very interested, but this tuma rom has given me so much trouble that was kinda scared. oh well what the hell, ill try it out.
Do I have the downgrade to 2003se first?
my current memory settings on my phone is
storage
total 43.26
in use 32.10
free 11.16
program
total 91.16
in use 23.29
free 67.87
On the tuma upgrade it says I should change my storage total from 43.26 to 60mb, does the instructions on the logout instalation include how to do this?
Thanks a bundle in advance!!!
Should I upgrade to the latest radio and bluetooth stack first? or after?

The bloetooth stack is part of the ROM. When you upgrade, whatever you had is wiped.
The Radio ROM is upgraded independently. I have been using Radio 1.13, which came with my machine, until I finally decided to try 1.15. No regrets so far.
Upgrade whichever you want first...
thanks alot brazilian joe. I also have a qtek 9090...I just got it after someone gave it to me. Im usually a treo user, but when i get this bad boy up and running im probably gonna give my treo to my brother.
Do you recomend any memory settings? some instructions just tell you to set it without telling you how to do it. do i need a special program?
thanks alot
it is not required to change it to 60mb, and it is easier to downgrade if you dont, so for now unless your sure you want to keep wm5 then leave it as it is.
Thanks for the info...im gonna go for the logout rom.
I dont mean to be asking so many questions, but Ive been looking all over
on how to set my memory to 60mb and all i get is brocken links. can someone help?
the closest ive gotten is this but i cant find the Repart_DOC.exe file.
Setup the Storage size to get a full 60MB and not 43 MB
Copy Repart_DOC.exe from the "Preparation\DOC repartitioning tool" folder to your device and launch it.
Set size of Extended ROM to 128 kb (or a bit more, if you want a NOT working extended ROM)
Press "Format now!" and wait until it is done (A few seconds). You will see a message that it is done.
Soft reset.
You will get an error message about your storage, just press yes and wait a few seconds.
