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

Ive upgraded BA device
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

I have O2 XDA III (without camera).
Does anyone know is it posible to upgrade from german to english language. My software version is:
PH20B1 B 1 GER R O2102 1.31.01 0 1 1.31.137 1.10.00 10.00
I've looked all the tutorials on wiki.xda-developers.com, but could not find the answer for this phone?
maybe this will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12419&highlight=german+english+repost
Can you also try to dump your radio rom and post it on the ftp? Thanks

Well you have 4 problems and one thing great that is going for you!
On the posative side you have the Radio 1.10.00 which we all want to get our fingers on, this will gain you many points when it comes to helping you.
Now to your problems
1) You have a PH20B1 which is a none camera rom. As you have read on wiki you need to fix this but you cant as there is no tool that works on the new rom encription (at the momnet its under developemnt) so you are going to get a device id error.
2) Your rom number is high and thus the only WWE upgrade that will work will put you back to 1.22 (if you can fix problem 1). Now this is infact a good rom and as you see I am still on it.
3) You wnat to cahnge to WWE and thus you will be confronted with the country code error, which again you cant fix due to tha lack of a tool.
3) You have no sd card, which is a shame and they are cheap.
What you could try.
There is a fix/hack for the county code issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=98811#98811
Now maybe this works also for the Device ID, I have NO idea and have never tried the fix/hack myself.
I would think that as you are the 02 you would be able to use the o2 uk rom, again you would need to try it. (it is or was on wiki)
On the 02 UK rom, extract it and run the BaUpgradeUt.exe without the fix.bat
Also try the i-mate 1.22 of wiki with the fix bat.
What ever you do, delete the radio_.ndf form any upgrade folder for I am sure you want to keep the 1.10.00 radio.
This is all safe as long as after you have started the BaUpgradeUt.exe your do not go further than the screen that tells you what rom you have and what rom you are going to install. After that, well you could end up with a brick.
So you need a SD card to save your self or you need to find the German O2 Ship file to reflash if it goes bad.
Both options would again give US the radio 1.10.00 and I am sure you will find a few others that will help you in the hope that they can get that radio.
Viel spass!
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...
Upgraded to WM2005. By mistake formated Extended Eom to a small size ( less than required for WM2003SE). Getting ERROR 113 due toEXt Rom size limitation I think. Now can't downgrade to WM2003, nor stay with WM 2005. I still can get to Boat Loader. Please help. Thanks
did you found any solution? i have now the same problem....
HELP
GuidO
1) Do a downgrade to a 1.40 rom found on wiki in the WM5 page
2) Find the rom that you want
2) Delete the radio.nbf and the NK.nbf leaving only the MS.nbf in that dir.
3) run the downgrade as per wiki.
Now use the doc tool and corect the settings (info found in wiki in how to upgrade to WM5.
The doc tool only works if the CE Rom is not wm5.
the downgrade doesn't work
Hi I tried to use the downgrade file, but it doesn't work

Right - Have you followed this..?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
This will, with the 1.40 ROM that MDAIIIUser suggests will hopefully sort it out!
So i have the downgrade files
But when i have to press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes shows on the screen, i press the two buttons Record+Camera. Then i see the three options.
I changed them, second and the third to "yes" and then pressed on the mailbutton.
My screen becomes white and thats it.
It doesn't boot on.
What did i do wrong and is my ppc def. dead?

you need to wait, have a beer, it has taken 4 mins on mine, thought i turned it into a brick.
Hi,
I upgraded to WM5 then realised I hadn't resized my ExtRom so I downgraded to 2003SE and tried to resize the ExtRom but I get an error: FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE_Failed . I have unhidden and unlocked my Ext Rom and can write files to it. I have tried hard resets etc but nothing works. Please help if you can.
If I can't resolve this what are the implications of leaving the ExtRom as it is and upgrading to WM5 :?:
Many thanks for your help
Simon
i am having this problem also
no solution yet it seems
the implication is tat we have less mem to use at 42 instead of 60
other than tat, its just a little performance hit, else works fine
i have this problem too !
downgrade to wm2003 and when trying ro unhide my extended ROM with extrom.cab , a folder with extrom icon apears at my device with label NAND Disk and i can't resize it to original size ! when trying to resize using REPORT_DOC.exe gettin the FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE error.
isn't there any solution ?! is my EXTROM dead ?!
Same here...
Same here... I have the same problem. I had search the forum for solution. Tried all kind solution. Even tried out different version of WM03 ROM to no avail. Hope someone out there can provide us with some help here.
Anyway, there are no implication for leaving the extrom as it is. Hope this help...

Hi.
I'm having some serious problems running WM5 on my SPV M2000 (Blue Angel). Internet Explorer keeps crashing, doesn't browse...bluetooth isn't recieving files from my PC, camera closes on its own, MSN Mobile not working at ALL...etc.
I want to remove this AKU3.5 ROM and return back to my previous WM2003SE ROM from Orange or even Imate. I downloaded the Orange V2.5 ROM update but failed to initialize the update process since the Country ID was incorrect for some odd reason.
Guys can you please help me out of it. Just tell me the safest and easiest way to downgrade back to the original ROM. And is possible that when i downgrade, i can install the Imate PDA2k ROM on my Orange SPV M2000?
I'd really really appreciate your help. Looking forward to your replies!
My device information details are:
ROM version : 5.04.09.WWE
ROM date : 11/02/06
Radio Version : 1.13.00
Protocol Version : 1337.42
ExtROM version : *empty* (blank)
i would make use of wm5 maupgrade_noID utility to flash the .nbf file of wm3 back to the original rom.

Yeah hi. Thanks for the reply, could you please give me a step by step procedure how am i suppose to do it? Where do i get the files from and how do i go about it.
I'd be grateful man!
As i see you use helmi aku 3.5 rom.
when u extracted the file out of the zip file u initially downloaded, u should see a folder name PH20B1. It includes maupgrade_noid utility there.
so basically what u do is extract the original rom (nk.nbf) into that PH20B1 folder, then put your device to bootloader mode, flash it as normal.

Actually i didn't install Helmi AKU3.5 ROM. I bought my phone used, and had this rom already installed. Now i want to get back to my original factory ROM. And i can't seem to get how to do it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
link above lists all the original rom for each device / operator.
please see the attachment, it's the utility to upgrade.
for further information please read wiki though.
Thank you imatrix. Will go through the link you provided. Thanks for all your help!
By the way...is it possible for me to flash an Imate ROM on an Orange SPV M2000? I find Imate ROMs more stable than Orange.
ooo?/
I think, you will have a serious problem wwhen you go back to wm2003 mate.. you're bluetooth will be useless, I don't know why and how,,.. I tried wm2003 downgrade last time, and I was worried because when I try to turn my bt on, it keeps may saying that the bluetooth software is expired..bla..bla..and I can't turn my bluetooth on.. though I haven't tried installing abt stack, but I guess same thing will happen.. but its for you to find out.. theres a very comprehensive details on downgrading/upgrading roms on blueangel wiki.. to get rid of that country I'd error, just use maupgradeutnoid.exe which you can also download from there
