is there a way to gettting the WMP 10 for blue angel, instead of upgrading the whole system to WM5.0, can u just get WMP 10 as a stand alone prgram???thx
I think it's only available through an upgrade... never have seen any WMP10 cab file ..... Sorry...
I'm pretty sure there's no stand-alone installer for WMP10, at least I've never seen one either, but every ROM upgrade after 1.33.51 upgrades you to WMP10. If you don't want to upgrade to WM5, you could upgrade to the latest WM2003SE ROM, which currently is 1.42 and can be found at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade.
my ROM 1.40 from I-mate has WMP10 too :wink:

Has anyone tried putting/modding the Universal ROM on the XDAIIi. I just wondered if the hardware on the Universal was more like that on the Alpine and we might be able to use it? Just a thought...
impossible to do that
Rom images are made up with specific drivers and cannot be transfered to other models, the inner workings of different models are completely different even if there specs look the same (WiFi etc ...) they are totally incompatible
true that
You can't upgrade directly, but there are people who modifiy ROMS to install on other devices, look at BUZZ and the Blue Angel WM2005 update!
Buzz is willing to design an upgrade for Alpine, but does not own one, so until he does or people donate to help him buy one, it is unlikely that we will see a cooked WM2005 upgrade for Alpine yet!.

wait until buzz got an alpine....sure he'll play with it....
I have used the Universal WM5 upgrade on my i-mate PDA2,First I Partitioned the Rom to have the full Rom Size 128MB then I copied the nk.nbf from The Universal to the Original i-mate upgrade and used the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to do the upgrade.
Using all the universal rom did not work and got Model Error.
The Upgrade went all the way very smooth but couldn't hard reset the PDA2.
All I upgraded was the CE image only,Radio And Extended Rom are the old ones.
I used all buttons compinations and stil could not reset the PDA2.
So I went Back to WM2003SE.
This proves that it can be done.!!!!
Maybe it is the extended rom part that stopped it, There is no way so far to unlock the Alpine extended rom.
I hope Buzz can do something about it,I am willing to do all the trials on my PDA2.
Hello all.
I just found this place and it's great!
I am in the USA and I have a Siemens SX66 with Cingular, running the default ROMS.
I've read there has been issues with with WM5 and others seem to not have any trouble.
What ROMs should I upgrade to?
From links here I also found: http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/
Are system ROM 1.40.00 and Radio ROM 1.13.00 my best options?
Thanks again, this is really a great site!
I personally would suggest applying the standard and extended ROM's from Chris' SX66 (Blue Angel) Standardization Project which you referenced, then upgrading the radio to 1.15. WM5 is cewl looking and the persistent storage can be a life saver. I go back and forth, probably more than 30 times, hoping that one day the speed and reliability will come through. Being a corporate geek / consultant that hates crackberries I dream of true push mail. However I'm so dependant on Microsoft Voice and my BT that I keep going back to WM 2003, Chris' ROM's being the best.
Best of luck to you in whichever way you go.
btw, Cingular is releasing the 8125 this month! YIPPEE !!!
(guess the wife will get my BA has a hand me down... )

SX66 (PH20B1) [Cingular]
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Ext ROM: 1.40.125 WME
Radio: 1.15.00
I recently upgraded to 1.42 with my own Extended Rom. Since then (probably two weeks ago), I haven't had to reset my phone for one-way sound, wifi not wanting to turn on, bluetooth insufficient driver memory or any of the other minor problems that forced me to reset my phone at least every other day with the 1.40 rom.
If you are going to try the upgrade, copy this extended rom to your device, then use the BA_TMNL_14200_115_11300_ship upgrade (delete all nbf files except nk.nbf). I was able to use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file to load this rom. I think I had to run it twice (first time it puts the device in bootloader mode but gives error, leave it in the bootloader mode and run it again.)
BTW, I had already upgraded to radio 1.15, so you might want to do that first.
Hmmm. FTP not working for me from work, I'll upload the ExtRom tonight and update this post.
I want to have WMP10 on my SX66, but the original ROM only has WMP9.
Is there any way I can upgrade the ROM to have WMP10....but keep everything from the original upgrade (like all of the stuff for Cingular).
WM10 started showing up in 1.31 rom went main stream in the 1.4x rom (was some time ago so I could be wrong).
If you need WM10 then you need to up the rom as there is no wm10 install as such. If you up your CE rom to 1.42 some of the ext rom patches will downgrade you rom so you need to clean up the ext rom.
If you want to keep your carriier apps then you need to keep a copy of your old ext rom.
Best start for you is wiki and the kitchen.
The SX66 has the standisation project and for that this site is not the best, you can get a lot more info of pdaPhoneHome.com

just upgrade my old mdaIII (blue angel) to WM6 (HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_Public)
all works good and was simple. also installed the extra .cab files (http://rapidshare.com/files/52455560/cabs.rar) but the LIVE.CAB does not install.
any idea how where i can get the working .cab file or get to install or work this. as i really need msn messenger.
thanks.

Did you check your device space.
Even if you install on SD, lots of files will go in the Windows directory.
You will need at least 3MB free space.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
windows live messenger has to go on the device storage or else it wont work, do this and it should work like a charm.

upgrade even more...
Its an old and buggy rom... I think is the better to upgrade for the first time... Helmi has made a great rom that time i tink the first release of wm6 here...
But is buggy and old upgrade the the new 6.5 or 6.1 builds... you will never have issues at installing programs.
Sorry... title should read XDA IIs
I recently bought an O2 Xda IIs (Win 2003) - 1.40.00 WWE and loved it so much that I decided to buy another from Ebay. This one was upgraded to WM5 5.03.02 WWE but it's not very stable and quite slow. Also the camera and bluetooth don't seem to work.
I'd like to downgrade to 2003, but don't have any success.
I've done the full hard reset and tried to re-flash the ROM but the RUU program doesn't show me the ROM version.
I seem to be going around in circles from post to post, and I can't seem to get past this stage. I can sync via ActiveSync and that seems fine - i.e. if I add Google to Mobile Favourites on my laptop, they come up on the Mobile Favourites on the Xda.
I've downloaded Chef_Tony 02 WM2003 UK and I'm using the noID updater. The instructions that I'm using are d-two's PDF file.
When I run the MaUpgradeUT_noID program, it doesn't show me the CE ROM version that I should be updating to. I've got the ms_.nbf, nk.nbf and radio_.nbf files in the same folder and I'm sure that it's what's needed.
When I click Upgrade, there's a pause about 15 seconds and then it says congratulations, and asks for a reset. In this time, nothing has changed on the Xda screen and I didn't get the progress bar.
I've done the mtty bit, and tried various combinations of reset, disabling the two processes in task manager and so on. Incidentally, d-two's instructions don't mention disabling the processes.
Can anyone shed any further light on this. I'd like to get this Xda running for my wife...
Thanks,
Ivan
Try the WM2003 SE that compiled by d-two, you can get the address in the file that I attach (sorry for this, but I haven't allowed to post links yet), it works fine for me. But if I can give an advice, why you don't try WM6.1 and WM6.5 that cooked by d-two too?? It was great!!!
