Nice post, Bosjo....great idea....now let's hope people read this, so I can stop referring to the links in my signature...!
bosjo, add the new 1.40 Tutorial I added to wiki, it makes the seperate Bluetooth and Radio ones obsolete (largely) as 1.40 include 1.12.00 and 1.0.0.3900
The noob finally did it
I want to thank Brazillian Joefor helping me out with my ineptness to READ THE WHOLE WIKI first- I finally upgraded to WM2k5 flawlessly after nearly 6 hours and despite sctatching a bald spot into my head everything is great.
I also want to thank Helmi and everyone else that made this all possible this site is a real asset keep up the great work.
Siemens Sx66 Model ph20b1
Used the unlock on 12/07/2006 on referenced Cingular phone purchased somewhere around April 2005. Worked like a charm, phone now works great on T-Mobile.
I failed to download MaUpgradeUt_noID file from the ftp site for resolving the country code error problem. For tha I am requesting you please upload the file in rapidshare.com (or arrange to upload).
It will be a great help for me.
Thanks
I installed WM6 with a simple PIN last night. This morning I switched SIMs and when switching on I entered the normal PIN and it says "incorrect password".
I haven't changing the PIN and it worked last night. Of course now it goes into longer and longer gaps before you can do anything! and now i must wait for 34minutes before i can try my "lucky" PIN..
No problem I thought, I'll just do a hard reset... but BIG problem. It appears that WM6 won't let you do a hard reset from the unlock screen.
Does anyone know if they have changed the hard reset procedure in WM6?
From the device being powered on I am pressing an holding the power button, pressing the reset and then letting both go simultaneously - is this correct?
It is nice to know if someone steals your 'phone that they can't use it - not at all good when a bug in WM6 makes it happen to the owner!
I have a completely useless brick at the moment...
need your help guys..
Links for wiki don't work, any idea where to get these info from?
in the top bar there is also a link to the wiki, or take this one: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
EDIT: sorry, apparently i misunderstood, the wiki is apparently experiencing problems and is currently down.
turning off alone.
I upgraded my BA to d-two's WM6.5.5 Build 23529, and now when the battery is on 30%, he turn of or reset and keep doing aftera a while when i turn on again. Chief tony, you know this error?
you should always make sure that your battery is completely full when upgrading. there's been people before, reporting that their battery meter is screwed up after upgrading. so, i guess the 30% are just not an accurate value and the battery is in fact empty. you should load up the battery up to 100% and re-flash the rom. the values will be more accurate
then.
another reason could be that your battery is really starting to go bad and maybe should be replaced.
Hi Chief
Hey chief tony, i reflashed my BA with full charge, and instaled the Wm 6.1 manilla 2d final from D-two, and i've got what realy happens, everytime i used the wifi conection, is doesnt take long and Ba turn of, and when i turn on where it must have the radio version, it appears 'none', so i soft reset and gets ok. you know whats happening?
ps: sorry for the bad english
the fact, that it turns off quickly again, points to the battery having lost most of its capacity. maybe you should have a look at ebay for a replacement.
it shows R NONE G NONE, because unplanned switch-offs or soft resets, that are not triggered by the reset pin cause the phone to boot without radio, some roms start without the radio then, some don't boot at all. it happens with all custom roms and soft resetting is the only way to avoid it.

I wouldn't blame the battery so fast on this one (although entirely possible). There are a few roms (not sure about d-two's 6.1 since I have not tried it) that will become unresponsive once you activate Wifi (not sure why), and eventually resets the device... He could try a different rom and see if that helps.
Hi,
I am trying to get the "For Sim(Un)Lock tool GO" but when I click on GO it returns "No input file specified."
Any other links that I can get this tool to unlock my Blue Angel...

this tutorial is quite outdated, the one linked in my signature is new and all links are working there. in the 2nd post, you will find the tool needed for the sim unlock and many more
Re-detecting my 1gb sd card!
Hi, Chef.
I initially had some issues with my 1gb sd card after upgrading to m 6.1 & then 6.5.3. But, after a vista laptop detected an removed a virus (autorun file), I was able to access again.
Now, after upgrading using sun dream's latest rom (6.5.5), my sd-card issue has re-appeared. I have just formatted the card (tried either fat or fat32) and still no progress.
Other Issues: Activisync's complaint about my having to increase the size of my mailbox & delete one or two other files is becoming too frequent.
my ba now trips up (or shuts down completely) when d battery is around 50%.
What next?

didnt get you ?. you mean is it due to some bug in WM5 for BA ?
or
My procedure ?
I had the same problem on my first time upgraded WM5 on my BA.
Howver, I found out my problem was on Wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade
Step 11
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
You can do that with the camera and the record buttons.

This step is important, and if by any chance you missed this step, just do that instructions and change 2nd and 3rd option to yes and apply all the pathes from
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Patches_ChangeLog
Well it worked for me, I hope it helped to solve your problem.
Sorry if my english terrible.
Hi,
I make sured, the second and third are set to Yes, and after that press mail button.
to be sure, i just reflashed again, still same problem. Phone Funciton, is really slow, and cant even show ringing, when a call is coming
any help?
After installing WM5, your machine will be really slow. You need to apply the patches that are found at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Patches_ChangeLog
A few tips for you:
Before applying the patches, make sure you disable ALL sounds, including the ringer on the phone (set it to vibrate) and keypad tones. Also make sure you disable Error Reporting, as stated.
After applying each patch make sure you power down the device, wait about 30 seconds, power the device on again and then do a soft reset to make sure that the registry changes take. This applies to any registry change on WM5, even in the future.
After all the patches have been applied, you should be able to switch sounds back on as you like and the device will be much faster.
One final tip: I've always used PocketPlus on my device in the past but I found that it really slows my phone down, especially on WM5 so I've had to uninstall it. I'm now running iLauncher instead, and although I prefer PocketPlus for functionality, the speed increase that I get with iLauncher seals the deal for me.
I, have Siemens SX66 GSM ( PH20B) Upgraded to wron version and now it boot with colored horizontel straps (red,green,blue,white) and goes to WM 5, with slow to none functions and also lost radio.
Now I, tried with several WM5 versions and it display error message ( Model ID error 100) Can some one help how to remove / clean it and recomend working WM5.
See some post at the bottom of this topic
If you you have lost the Radio, ie, no version number is displayed on cold booting/hard re-set, then all is lost.
As i had the same problem with a phone I was given to fix.
As most/all of the Upgrade programs Check to see what Radio version the phone already has, and if it cant see one it fails
My only course of action was to get the Phone fixed under warenty
Read all about it here
Hope.......
Mine did the same thing, it was sooooo slow that I was thinking about buying a new unit but at the last breath I did the following and it worked:
- Go to the BootLoader screen (Press: Power Switch+Media Player+Recorder+Rest) all at the same time, your PDA should say “Serial” at the top of the screen.
- Plug you PDA to the cradle and it should read “USB” at the top of the screen.
- Use At least TuMa 1.3 with Radio 1.13.
Note:
The upgrade EXE should load up with a picture of the PD at the left side of the screen that DOES NOT look like your SX66…it looks like an HP PDA…!!!
Mine came back to life but sometimes you might have to SOFT reboot your PDA to get the Radio to work (Hard boot then use a third party software to softreboot).
Good luck.
so using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP and radio rom only you were unsuccessful at flashing?

I, went through all upgrades without issue but now PDA is so slow it takes ages to change selections..
have you downgraded back to 03se and still have this issue?
You will have to follow the steps very accurately...if you leave any step out you might end up like me at the beginning when my device was sooooo slow it was useless.
I took these steps from this forum...try it
Best Luck…
Thanks for all help did every thing but still some of menu are so slow that take several minutes to open , still looking for some tips and suggestions or if some one one knows how to turn it back to W2003
I, remoed some of programs from my SX66 that seems to be causing problems and were npt compatible with and got my PDA back...its now working awsome...Thanks for all who helped
Hi everybody and sorry for disturbing you guys.
I've got a very strange problem with my friend's O2 XDA IIs (BA Device). The unit was upgraded to WM 5.0, however, I could not HR it. When I Reset the device and press Camera and Record button simultaneously (to make three lines appear), it is possible for me to move up and down and change the options but I can't finish the HR process by pressing the Messaging Button (it does work normally, not a physical prob). Besides, when I tried to upgrade the unit to another ROM (my friend was fed up with the current ROM since it was too slow), the unit couldn't recognize an USB Connection when it was in Bootloader mode (it could sync normally with my PC, already tested this). The screen kept showing Serial at the top and v2.06 at the bottom. As the result, no ROM upgrade Utility could do its job.
I've been using Pocket PC Phones for 2 yrs and this is the 1st time I've seen this problem, even though I used to use a MDA III for half a year.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Tks and rgds.
Same here - device no longer recognized as USB in bootloader mode Previous ROM? helmi_c 2.3
In one of helmi's posts, he mentions something called "clearstorage". This might be what you are looking for. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=356258#356258
After some playing around I have noticed that my BA hangs in BL mode, sometimes before I put it on the cradle, sometimes after I do that :/
try mtty software
it might be helpful in your case
search the forums for it and for available commands
I tried (for a 30th time or so) to upgrade my unlocked 3G MDA to another ROM.
In first instance it started up correctly and installed the customization. Then it rebooted, and since that moment it keeps on rebooting every 3 minutes or so, but it doesn't go any further than the boot-screen?
Has anyone seen this before and found a solution for this?
