Upgrading from WM5_BA_Patched to WM5_pack_V1 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi Mamaich, I am currently running ROM 5.03.02WWE with the patched nk.nbf. I have problems with running WorldMate Pro and WorldMate Expense. Both of them was successfully installed, but I am unable to launch each of the program. Hence, I was wondering if I should upgrade my ROM to the latest ROM WM5_pack_V1 and it would help with installing and running the WorldMate softwares. If it hepls, then do I have to 'Unhide & Unlock' and Repart_DOC my system. Bearing in mind that I am nolonger running WM2003SE, or can I just run BAupgradeut from the WM5-pack-V1. If Not, mut I downgrade back to WM2003SE first, and upgrade from Step 1.
Thanks

you don't need to repartition DOC if you did it before. And if you flashed the patched ROM - you don;t need to reflash it, just do a hardreset (camera+record+reset button and select to clean registry and storage).
Maybe WorldMate soft is not compatible with WM5, I don't use it.

Thanks Mamaich, ran Baupgradeut from the PH20B folder, but it reported that this upgrade is not for your device type. I have a PDA2K device.
I used the WM5_pack_V1 to upgrade.

The rom and ce files are the same in the pack as in the other ba_patched.
I we just added the 2 dirs to make life on wiki easy.
I had reflashed my wm5 device to wm5 when I checked the instructions.
I am not aware of your problem however if other people can confirm it we need 2 update wiki.

Trouble after using WM 5

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...

Downgrade problem

I've just downgraded from WM5 using the latested O2UK release that came out today. I followed the downgrade instructions found here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
After it had finished I found that I had none of the usual O2 rubbish they add on, no mention of Blackberry anywhere, no album and it was still showing radio vertion 1.06
I then tried doing the upgrade normally (just by clicking on the exe downloaded from O2). This updated the radio but still no add on programs
If it helps, after soft reset I got an error window saying Contact flash yes?/no? then another about some other prog and another after that.
I Have no idea what you did to do the upgrade but if you were on WM5 you must have reformated your EXT rom.
So after the downgrade you need to format a ext rom and then run the 1.40 upgrade as per wiki.

extended rom not visible

Hi, I have a qtek9090 (as shown in my signature) and tried to upgrade to WM5 TuMa 1.3.
I followed ALL steps (also the steps to reformat extended rom), but at the end of the upgrade I am unable to see extended ROM and to install the applications. More I've a very slow device and a lot of sync problems.
Now I have rollbacked to WM2003 SE using the standard ROM, but I want know if there is a solution.
I think that your is a very very good job (porting WM5 on the BA) and that maybe all are problems due to my errors, but I read a lot on these forums but didn't found a solution. :?:
many thanks
Carlo (Milan, Italy)
did you doing unlock and unhide the EXT ROM with tolls on WIKI
Yes, I did that. My extended ROM is visible until flashing ROM.
I'm using procedure described in
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_WizardPort_v1.3-TuMa
All the upgrade procedure goes smooth until step 8 (included step 5 copying EXTROM folder), but the step 9 doesn't happens and I can see only the "temp disk" folder as the storage.
bye

Upgrading and Unlocking a Siemens SX66

hello
very nice with a wealth of information.
i wanted to upgrade the roms and unlock my siemens sx66.
before i do it, i want to verify the manner in which it is done. from my readings it appears that i update the roms and then after they are all done then i unlock the phone.
i plan to backup the phone before all is done.
one of my main questions is that my wife also has one of the sx66s and we share contacts and the calender. we do this via active sync. will there be any issue with my phone having a different rom than hers with the syncing?
also, once all the roms are update, would i just restore from a backup or do i just place items back in.
i was planning on using the stable roms from the SX66 (Blue Angel) Standardization Project
thanks in advance for your assistance
bob
read wiki for the blueangel
thanks, will do
ok, i read the info provided and also found the sx66 standardization project webpage. that site is very dedicated to the sx66 that cingular wireless put out, which what i have.
the site gives good directions, but i have one issue. it says that you need to have all the same revisions for the main and extended rom. how exactly do i do that? do i just do the main and radio rom upgrade first, then the extended rom? i just don't want to mess up the phone by not doing something correctly.
thanks in advance,
bob
afaik you flash them all at the same time, but what it means is dont flash an extended rom for one ROM version also with with a different ROM version
got it done
followed the instructions on the sx66 standardization project -
unhid the extended_rom folder using the correct too then did a soft reboot
then put the 1.44.xx ext rom into the correct folder, after that ran baupdater with the 1.44.xx main rom and 1.15.xx radio rom. after all was done i did a hard reset and everything installed excellent
How is it Working?
Bob332, is your SX66 functioning OK, not problems? How is your BT, more stable, pairing ok? How did you know what upgrade to use as I am not finding a match for the Siemens model?

it is running nicely. as far as bt, i don't use it reguarily, but with the headset i have it works nicely - jabra bt800. i can say that it appears to run as good if not better than my wife's which is not modded at all. i get a good signal and it is just as stable as my wife's. i feel the newer roms have better wifi control and there are some additional features with them. i used the roms off of the sx66 standarization project webpage.
Bob, as the instructions seemed very clear I went for it. My device settings now read: ROM 1.42.00, Ext ROM 1.20.115, Radio 1.02.10 and
BT Stack 3900. Protocol 1337.35.
What did I do wrong? More importantly how can I get my settings to match yours – 1.42.126 & 1.15? When I attempt to load the Radio I get this error using BAUpgrade tool? Where do I go from here?
Which upgrade tool do I use for the Radio?

read everything i have put up and d/l the appropriate files before going farther, then follow the 1, 2, 3 method at the end
here is the page - http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/SystemRadio.htm
use the blue angel flash rom tool aka - baupdate.exe and make sure both the system and radio roms are in the same folder as the the updater tool. during the upgrade, actually before it starts, it should tell you what versions you are upgrading to. also, this information and these roms are for a cingular branded sx66.
system and radio roms - system - 1.40.00 (source is dutch) and radio - 1.15 UK
unhide the extended_rom folder using the correct tool from this page - http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/Extended.htm (latest ext rom tools) and also read the pdf documentation located here - http://relaysgoldens.com/sx66/ext_roms/Extended_ROM_Installation_Instructions.pdf
then did a soft reboot
d/l the newest "pre-cooked" ext rom - 1.40.125
1. put the 1.44.xx ext rom into the correct folder after you unhid it on the sx66
2. run baupdater with the 1.44.xx main rom and 1.15.xx radio rom.
3. do a hard reset and the info from the new ext rom will be installed
this should get you set up

Ok I see that you have a G4. Lokiwiz is a waste of your time since you have a G4.
Here is what you need to do:
Because you have a G4, you can't just flash a rom because of the DOC chip.
There are 3 ways I know of to flash a G4.
1. Download shelltools - install enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab and reboot your device. connect with activesync and place the nk.nbf file of the rom of your choice in the shelltools directory and run shelltools and follow the directions in the readme. If you do it correctly, you will end up successfully flashing your device.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
2. Download SoftSPL and place the nk.nbf file of your choice in the RUU folder included and run SoftSPL and it is fully automated. It will call the RUU and your device will be flashed in about 7 minutes.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
3. Use the HardSPL(CID UNLOCK) and unlock your device prior to flashing. This will allow you to just flash roms at your leisure with no problems whatsoever from now on BUT it is still in developement so use at your own risk.

No problem... Now you're at the fun part. Add ons!!
add ons
when it comes to add ons,I was reading on the Rom Kitchen thread and and I couldn't see much more that could be added to the rom that Faris V5's nbf file.it seems to be one of thee most comprehensive files that I have come across. the only issue is that it runs a bit slow but it cool.I might just need to do some memory management.
other than that I would recommend the file.
do you have any other recommendations?
have u seen the article that microsoft wants xda dev... to remove all of its roms from the website?

I personally use the TNT.1437 TouchFlo and TNT.1437 Professional+HTC Home roms personally modified to have a 10MB page pool. They are quite fast and are almost 100% stable with only minor bugs that are barely noticible...
Here is a link to the 10MB Version of TNT.1437 Touchflo

If you would like, I can speed up the performance of faria's rom also and then upload the new nk.nbf file for you to try. Just let me know.
speed
Yes, please.... speed it up for me. if there are any other applications (add ons) that you feel should be added to the nbf file then please add them.
i have already shared the nbf file with many guys at work. we would be grateful if you can assist.
one last thing, i noticed that there is a 3G icon under the comms manager. one of the guys said that we should not have any issues accessing 3G even if the phone didnt come with it. is it possible to use 3G on these phones?
