Wizard WM5 for BA Upgrade question - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

When upgrading to new Wizard WM5 version do you have to format the storage and clean the hive if you're already running WM5 BA?

yeah. that is correct

Any way to avoid this? What will happen if I just upgrade and not format?

Dose anyone still has a Extended Rom and see version on WM5?

Dose anyone still has a Extended Rom and see version # on WM5.0, After upgarde from 2003 to wn 5.0?
I don't have extended rom any more after i did upgarde.
if anyone does, please let me know how? or how to rebuild new one under 5.0!!
Thanks
If you following the wiki instructions, while upgrading, you were instructed to remove the ExtROM partition (actually, make it 128 KB only and format it). Thus, there is no ExtROM anymore. So, no one with a WM5.0 currently has an Extended ROM unless he made it manually.
Thanks for your reply. now i am happy that was not a mistake
:lol:

Please Help !!! My ExtROM is missing

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.
n the nbf i should install is only the extrom ??? what the difference if do a partial downgrade and a full one ???

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

Please help. I make sure to run the ENABLErapi but still no luck, OS is still showing up 2.26.10.2. I upgrade my friends MDA to the AKU 3.3 with no problem. Any advise. Thanks
By the way I also downgrade it to SPL 1.X and still with no luck in the upgrade.

Did you use the method in my sig? Please do it again, slowly, each step. I've personally unlocked around 60 G3 8125 and MDA's this way... never not it not work.
I did read it, followed everything. I was able to upgrade it to the t-mob rom 2.26, I have a G3 8125. With the WM5 AKU3.3 file do i just run the updateutility from there and it should upgrade the rom? Or do I have to put one of thise files on my phone? Should I extract it? I'm not very good at this stuff as you can tell. If you can just tell me how to upgrade a cooked rom that will be so well appreciated.
Thanks for the quick responses also.

If you got all the T-Mobile crap when you installed that 2.26 I'd think you were OK. For fun download the latest Faria ROM at ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/faria-roms/ ... I'm running the 8MB as we speak.
Good luck!
Thanks for the link Now with this do i copy it to my device? I saved it, should I have just opened it? How do i install it now? Sorry if I'm being a pain, I just really want to get this working. Thanks

How do you "Relocate the Temporary Internet Files, History, and Cookies locations to the Storage Card to save precious main storage memory"?

Care to tell us what device you have, what your OS is, what ROM you are running, etc? Things work differently on different roms, etc...
T-Mobile MDA (USA)
MODEL No: WIZA200
windows mobile version 5 OS 5.1.70 (build 14410.1.1.3)
ROM version 1.8.10.2 WWE
Easiest thing for you is to go get a copy of Registry Wizard (search around here for the link. Sorry, I don't have a link handy) and install that. It gives you an easy way to change these values (as I recall).
Thank You
Hey, I did that hack to show the extended_rom2 thing.
First, can I save the cookies and stuff there?
Second, I am having the camera issue like everyone else.
Do you think it is due to the fact that the camera sees extended_rom2 as a storage card and can only use one so since E comes before S it picks extended_rom2?
Then if that is true, what do I do?

Be very careful with the extended rom hack (making it visible). Don't put (or change) anything in there unless you know what you are doing (or you may not be able to do a hard reset, or things won't work after a hard reset). Its a cool thing, but you can mess up stuff if you aren't careful with that. That area was hidden for a reason
If you have space issues, I would suggest you look at CID Unlocking your phone and then upgrading to a stable rom like Faria's AKU 3.3 or one of Molski's. You'll find you have a LOT of extra space available to you after doing that. Those roms (for the most part) work very well and are very stable (unlike the WM6 ones currently, although the mUn and Faria ones of those are MUCH better).
Well it is a T-Mobile and I use Cingular and O2, so I am not sure I really use any of the files in that section?
Maybe I will rehide it.
OK Mine is unlocked. I never even had it on the T-Mobile network
OK so it is a G3 and the IPL/SPL 1.08
What update is good for it? (Also, what is an ipl spl?)
Like this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286987&highlight=Molski.Biz
Will the update rehide the extended_rom2?
I cannot active sync. Can I install off my SD?

Ok, first things first... You will need to do the CID unlock procedure. Since you are 1.08 on IPL and SPL, when you upgrade it will become CID Locked if you don't do this. So first thing, read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
You can start at step 4 since you are already on a 1.x ROM.
Do all of the steps (including flashing the TMobile 2.26 ROM on your device). Once you complete that you will have an IPL/SPL of 2.26 and your device will be ready to install new ROMs.
Personally, I'd recommend the Faria AKU 3.3 rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291806
or the Molski 2.26 Final:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286987
I haven't used the Molski one, but a lot of people live on it and rave about it. I have used teh Faria one and its very nice and stable and comes with a lot of stuff built into it.
Understand that with all this flashing, you will have to reinstall your apps and will have to resync to get your contacts and stuff back. So take some backups before you start so you can get stuff back (or move stuff you want out to your SD card).

Yes the upgrade to 2.26 will rehide this (I think).

Why can you not active sync? If you can't do that then you may be better off not doing any of this. There are steps of doing SD installs, but I've never done it. Read the Wiki as there is a link to a post about doing this.

CE ROM but no Radio!

My Friends.
I upgraded my BA to a WM6 rom. In first boot BA stucked in tri-colour screen. After some reading here I managed to boot it in WM6 after using NO/YES/YES in the format screen + mail key.
The problem: Now I have no radio rom. and, the uppagrade utility wan't put the radio rom in the device.
What can I do in this situation?
Thanks for your help
Not sure I can help, but.
I have had the same thing happen to me, and I have tried the first few of BA_Radio_1.15_Upgrade , but can not find the ship rom files.
If you have any luck with anything please let me know.

My wife and I both got the SX66 (cingular) at the same time. She does not want to modify or upgrade hers until mine is working. Is there any way to clone her roms and write them back to mine so that I can "start over"?
