back to a blank WM5? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi!
As I played around for a little while with my BA running WM5, I am encountering more and more problems.
I guess that's because I installed all and every patch I could find...
Now I want to go back to a really blank WM5 installation (uninstalling via the settings->software didn't solve my problem.
Even to reflash the BA didn't rteally help, as WM5 does not delete the installed files, when doing a hard reset.
So, any idea how I can get my BA to appear again as a freshly upgraded one?

found it
okay, I found it by myself (yes, just reading the WIKI is helpful).

Please help Thanks.
Hi
Did you carefully follow WM2005 -> WM2003 process described in wiki ?
It's very important that you resize, reformat ExtROM and do some other stuff before flashing back to WM2003.
Good luck
i have the same problem.. since octobre without solution
Hi
I ask again.
Did you guys restore your ExtROM correctly ?
(using Repart_DOC.exe tool)
GO to wiki -> blueangel -> blueangel WM2005 page -> how to downgrade....
Good luck
hi robal
I tried but when i use Repart_DOC
I set size 16384 or other sizes but if I click format now, the error message pops up"
Create handle failed.
Please help. Thanks!
Hi
Maybe You forgot to do as described in point "3" of downgrade process :
Prep your WM5 device by formating Storage and Hive.
Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes (well, this is the bootscreen )shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
Quickly press Record+Windows Media before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Windows Media Player button+Record at the same time.
Either way mentioned above should work.
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.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
You can do that with the Windows Media Player and the record buttons.
If you are done, press the mail button, it'll show a white screen for a while, just wait.
If the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, Wait more, you are booting.
The welcome screen to set up your device should appear soon.

This should've been done when you had WM2005.
I think it's important to do it, before trying to run Repart_DOC (on WM2003).
Any idea ?
If you've forgotten to do it. You probably will have to intall WM2005 again, do it, intall WM2003 and Repart_DOC it. HUh
have fun
DEAR robal,
Thanks for your information. In fact I did everything like you said before. but nothing help.
I know that I have to creat an extended_Rom in order to get it work. (this is not a big deal since we can install manually.
The most imfortant thing is the bluetooth error. Please help me find a sollutin for it. Thanks!
Hi
So you say, you have WM2003 installed with Extrom CABs from some official ROM ? OK
I'm not familiar with this BT failure. Please tell me exactly what ROM are you using ( CE , Radio, ExtROM )
And what version of BT stack you have.
This error is caused by a portion of the Bluetooth memory being overwritten by something else. The people who are trying to help you are right...you need to reflash the device because something didn't work correctly last time.
I had a tool that restored BT MAC-address, but I cannot find it on HDD.
It was sent by imate tech support as a fix for the "bt license has expired" error, so you may try to contact them, or search this forum.
please mamaich if you can find it this will be very helpful
Dear mamaich,
Thanks for your great imformation. I love to get it as soon as you find it. Again, thanks for your pricious time to repond.
Looks Like every body is stuck...I had solved this problem twice and with full success...on ROM 1.4 pls install the Broadcom 1.6 cab and yes...yr problem is solved... :lol:
Only thing..I was not able to put it install thru Ext ROM...even by editing config.txt....may be someone here can do this :roll:
new problem come out after previous one
hi, I have another problem so.. i need your help.
before, My sx66 problem with bluetooth and the Extended_ROM did not exist.
Now, after many tried to install rom from Tmobile, O2. sx66 over and over again, the extended_ROM is now okay to install but sadly the Storage doen't exist any more. Also some contact, task .. pop up after full installation. Finally,after extended_ROM Complete installed, window
Connection Flash Mangaer
pop ups" Saved data is corrupted.
System will erase all data to fix
this error
Yes No
but It does fix anything after I click yes button.
Please help to recover my storage. If there any software that can partition rom for ppc. please share.
p.s. the bluetooth now is freezing.
what u hv to do is use the Ext ROM Unlocker and use Repart_Doc...Set the size of yr Ext ROM...say 15 MB or so and then do the Repartitioning...now flash yr device...u will get yr Ext Rom Back with no such errors as reported by you
problem solved.

Hi hdubli, a question, what is the ROM 1.4 of the blueangel?

Not a happy bunny...

Well, it seems that my BA finally broke (WM5 anyway). It happened when i was flashing back from a test rom to ivans latest version, i flashed, booted up and got to the wight screen, and stayed there... for 30 minutes. undettered i then tried every WM5 rom i could lay my hands on, but to no avail. in final desperation i downgraded to wm2003se and lo and behold it worked!
Anyone got any idea how to get wm5 working again on my ba?
just reflash back to WM5
thi is a rare bug, which occures, and the fix is downgrade to 2003 and then upgrade to WM5
done that, twice
have u tried to format your extended rom ?
there is topic out there, but show how to do it.
u could give that a try.
reflash everything including radio and ext rom, use radio 1.13, after flashing WM2003 try to flash WM5, please post the result. If this does not work i think it is a bootloader issue, if you can get the same version of boot loader and flash it maybe all will work.I am too scared to mess with bootloader yet.

Does anyone have command reference for BA bootloader trough mtty
[curse]
**** **** **** **** **** **** ****
[/curse]
right, i ran the mtty thingy, and reformatted the flash, i then went back to 2003se and storage and extrom were working , but then when i tried to go back to wm5 i kept getting a model id error even though i used xda3nbftool.exe to set the same one as in deveicedata.txt but to no avail, when i gave up to go back to wm2003se i found i couldnt exit bootloader! so i tried connecting again via mtty, it all went fine, ran the commands again etc but still stuck in bootloader. out of desperation i took out the battery, but now to my horror the phone wont even turn back one (yes, i've put the battery back in ). has anyone got a clue how to fix this?
Many thanks in advance....
edit - I just tried a bit of percussive maintanace on it and lo and behold... it began to boot
The only problem now is that the boot screen is f*cked up and i get a model id error whenever i try to upgrade roms (even the official orange shipped extract with no modifications wont run )

"Percussive Maintenance" rarely fails. Nice term though - I'm sure I'll quote it.
Do post a link to the mtty command reference when you get it.
Cheers

Hard reset not happening!

I don't seem to be able to hard reset my SPV M2000!!!
I press:
-Power+Reset
-Camera and Record to get the Boot Options
-Select NO, Yes, Yes
All of this works fine, but I can't go on from there - no button press will get it to finish the hard reset (and, YES! I DID try the 'Mail' button, nothing happens!)
Any I deas?
I've upgraded to WM6 (after first downgrading to WM2003 from WM5 - same problem occured when I tried this, too!) an I have a load of the programs I installed in WM5 trying to load at startup! I also want to get rid of the Extended ROM.
Any help you guys could give? I'd be eternally grateful!

Workaround
Sort of found a workaround(ish):
As I hadn't already changed the EXTROM, then all I had to do was to install the latest official ROM from the Orange UK site. That wiped the old crap I had on my BA, then resized the EXTROM and installed WM6.
Would still love to know if anyone knows/finds a proper fix! Just in case I want to change the ROM at a later date.

Not tried this - don't need to at the moment -

But it looks like the solution to the problem - found it by ... reading the Wiki !DOH!

Stuck in BA WM6 Upgrading

I'm Stuck in BA WM6 Upgrading.
I was at the HTC_Blueangel_WM6_Wizzard Upgrade 4
After execute the installer file I performed a Hard Reset
Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen but I can't ge no debugger screen at all: the BA remain in Bootscreen with R 1.11.0 at the right bottom of the screen.The battery was full. I've tried the mtty procedure as well...no way out. Any clue ????
Have you follow all this steps here?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1
Yes I did and now I'm Stuck at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4
And what device do you have in fact? Qtek 9090? Other??
Mine is a Qtek 9090 and didn't have any trouble...
Same problem here, wm6 was already running; downgraded to 2003 SE to repartition the extrom, wanted to flash to wm6 again; now my xda3 is stucked after flashing, only r 1.10.0 is shown, no chance to carry on...???
I've got imate pda2k ct2cwj...and Heinzibua I'm stuck on R 1.11.00 do you have an Imate as well ??? cause I guess the official XDA procedure doesn't work for this kind of model (mine was an Italian W2003).
I'm very upset about this...
@ conosciani.m
wm6 worked well on my xda3 , problem was only after repartitioning the extrom.
I'm going to think I did somenthing wrong during the extrom steps..so i've returned back to wm2003 and I'm going to try the upgrade again
please tell me, if you find the solution...
running again
i repartitioned storage in 2003SE set to 20000 kb.
flashed to WM6, no problem now, storage is 41,25 MB, but running !!!
I did it too, I had to reinstalled w2003 and dit the Upgrading BA WM6 wizard again.....
after UNHIDE the rom, this time (and not in the previous upgrading), I did it the rom format using MTTY after that I ran the upgrade procedure and I got the WM6 running.
Happy for both of us to reach the goal......
do you have 60 MB storage now ?
can you give me more infos about MTTY ?
thx
tried to set storage to 60mb again, stuck again, also if i do just the same procedure as yesterday it is stuck; start to hate this device.
please tell me, what you did exactly to make it run. tried mtty also, but don´t know, what to do...
try this...
1. downgrade to 2003
2. copy the utils to the phone(extrom utils and repart_doc.exe)
3. install extrom utils...
---a. tap unhide... ok.
---b. tap unlock... ok. may throw an error but still ok...
---c. reset...
4. run Repart_DOC
---a. Set it to 128 byte
---b. Go/Start/Format (it should succeed)
5. reset to bootloader
---(press and hold record + power button then stick reset)
6. flash WM6 ROM
7. cold boot (press and hold power button then stick reset)
8. (optional) if stuck in the "tri-color"(white isnt a color ) screen...
---Hard Reset. Using No/Yes/Yes option.
reading further about the Repart_Doc topics...
128byte is the smallest you can format/resize the extrom
to maximize the storage in WM6.
Thx, that´s exactly what i did many times without success...
but now it works, after upgrading radio rom there also was no problem with upgrading to WM6; 60 MB rom; i only want to upgrade to radio rom 1.15, then i´m happy.
thx everybody for your help

q3ce running after flashing an official rom!

I've just noticed a very strange thing...I've flashed an original T-mobile rom on my MDA Vario III, and after installing it, I've just tried to run q3ce and it can run, without installing any d3d driver.Slow and unstable. I thought, that maybe its a kind of ghost-effect, so I reflashed the original shipped rom, and did the hole procedure with hard resetting few times, and after that reinstalled the last romeos 6.1 rom, and the ghost effect is still there. The problem is, that I cant intsall any d3d driver...ok, I can, but with no effect, I cant run the test programs given with the HTC-CA drivers. Could someone help me how to fix this??
Thanks
