Hi Guys,
I have an I-Mate PDA2K with problems.
I'm new on this site and I'm in a bit of a pickle with the 2005 upgrade ROM...
The upgrade went fine and it was interesting to see what can be expected from the new OS but it still isn't user friendly enough for me just yet.
My problem is that I can't downgrade back to the original ROM, I have a copy of it which I have used several times but now when I try to reflash it it comes up with an error saying...
"ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR"
"The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the vendor website and download the correct ROM update"
Then it lets me choose "Exit"
This as you can imagine is quite worrying as I have now lost most of the original functionality of the device.
If anyone knows how to remove it so that I can replace with the original OS I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Terry

You need to go into bootloader mode first. Check the Wiki.
Thanks Mastiff, you're a Star
No problem. But you can't lock/hide your extended ROM again, which I suppose you've already found out.
I'm a bit confused- it says on the wiki that if you downgrade to 2k3se from 2k5 after repartitioning DOC, then the ext rom will forever be visible. Why isn't this the case with mine? I followed all the instructions, copied my ext rom over after repartitioning a new ext rom and hard reset and it has disappeared again. Not complaining, just thought the doc repartioning tool reset the rom password.
Anyone else had this?
Im using XDA IIs, i've just rolled back to WM2K3SE and i couldnt see my O2 Connect applications and auto configurations tools ? where does it's go?
Available at least in www.myqtek.se and www.myqtek.fi.
Changes: Updated client for streaming media. New radio version.
Although I cannot get upgrade to start properly, always gives me error 262 at 0%.
Thanks for the update! I've downloaded and will flash the new software in the morning (I want to charge the battery a bit first).
I hope radio is more stable with this software - I've been to Denmark and the UK this week and in both countries call were broken and the phone lost connection with the mobile network (No service and Searching). Same problem that I've had before, even though I have tried changing the sim card. If it wasn't for these problems it would be a great smartphone, but now I find it to be a very crappy phone. Let's see if that changes now!
what's the AKU of the new ROM?
Finally got the update to work, had to do it according to these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1050547&postcount=6.
OS version is now: 5.1.465 (Build 15673.3.3.1), BUT radio is 1.29.00.10 and not 1.38.00.10 as it says on the ROM package. Can someone confirm this? As I had the 1.32 IU Test version installed previously and although I went first back to 1.30 I didn't check what the Radio version was so I don't know if 1.29 radio is something that was left from the 1.32 version or if 1.34 just has the same radio as 1.32.
1.32 was pretty promising version and I hope this one will be even better. I've had no major issues with these newer versions, although just a few days ago the phone ate the battery from 100% to about 15% in two hours when I was in a movie theater and the phone was not supposed to be doing anything!
I too have problems upgrading - I get error 262 at the beginning of the flashing. When I restart the MTeoR it starts WM as usual, so it seems it hasn't started flashing yet. This happens on two different computers. Any suggestions, please?
Note: I am able to flash 1.30.251.1 with any of the above computers. Only the new 1.34 is a problem. Could the install program be faulty? If so, it is pretty bad considering it is an official release.
New Rom
Hi,
Can you put it on rapidshare of megaupload ???

New Rom
Thanks for putting it on rapidshare.
I found the problem about the 262 error.
Just use a older update program with the new
rom file and everything is OK.
What language include new rom?
I didn't know how to do that , but after having checked a number of threads etc this is what I did:
1. Extracted the files in the exe file RUU_BREE100_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_HTCEUR_SHIP using WinRAR.
2. Did the same with RUU_BREE100_1.30.251.1_1.16.00.10_HTCEUR_Ship
3. Removed the nbh file from the 1.30 directory and replaced it with the file from the 1.34 directory.
4. Ran ROMUpgradeUt.exe
It all worked, and I have now upgraded the Rom. Thanks!
jpalo: radio is 1.38.00.10, just as the file name says.
My radio didn't update first time either.
I found I had to use the 1.30 installer and it would only update the second attempt when it was already in the bootloader.
I then used the 1.34 updater and it then updated the radio.
Well I just updated mine and Yippeeee!!!!! Finally I have the EDGE "E" at the top. 'Bout freakin' time. My radio does still say 1.29 but I have noticed that before the update my phone was only on 2 bars, now it's steady on 4. Browsing seems to be much quicker now as well. Time to start reloading and testing.
Try updating with the 1.34 .exe and .nbh once you have managed to get to 1.34 the first time (ie just run the updater direct as you should normally)
My OS is 5.1.465 (Build 15673.3.3.1)
Radio Version is 1.38.00.10
So I guess that would make it AKU 3.3.1
No problems with it so far and have unlocked it to import the Vodafone settings as I would before, now to restart my mission to actually be able to load the UK Vodafone wap sites.
Dl also, and will try it out.

Do you mean you "application" unlocked it? When I tried the old tired and true way of running SDA Unlock tool it tells me it can't be unlocked. I also can't make any registry edits, it won't save my changes and gives an error. What did you use to unlock it? Thx.
I ran the registry editor (same as before), made three registry changes.
Rebooted, ran the unlocker (which is now allowed)
Rebooted again and ran the unlock tool and said my phone was unlocked.
The steps I followed are here:

I had the same problems with my phone really bad. Finally got fed up and sent it for repair.
Got it back about 10 days ago, and haven't had any problem since. I'll wait another week or so before I really give it a clean bill of health.
The fix was quite simple... They replaced the mainboard... So it seems like there really was a hardware problem.

Sent in one last week, same problem, it cuts calls and cant find network and so on.
Royan and BarateaU: please keep me posted!
I'll try to let you know as well if the ROM upgrade solved my problems.
Looks like the 1.34 update has been removed from www.myqtek.fi and www.myqtek.se (although it is still available via some URL tweaking).
Running the ROM update again now succeeded without any 262 errors and radio was also updated to 1.38. Thanks for help.
I have a HTC Wizard G4
Model T-Mobile MDA - Wizard 200
I tried flashing it with farias old build and it stoped at 99% then error occured now i only get the bootloader screen
I have downloaded an upgrade rom from mda website and tried it but it says i need a different version to update
My phone currently shows only with the red green blue screen
IPL 3.08.0001
SPL 3.08.0001
What on earth can I do to get it working again?
Im currently trying step G4.3 on page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831
Downloading wizard love now, please advise if I will further ruin the phone or if I am on the wrong path, btw i need this phone urgently so will be going ahead with the next step in about 45 mins, will keep u updated unless I am stopped by one of the uber leet on the forums
Woohoo!
Ok so I ran the step as mentioned above. It is now booting into wizard love version of windows! Could whoever is responsible for creating that walkthrough and tool please email me directly at [email protected]. I would like to give you $50.
I dont know if I should now bother flashing a new rom as it seems to have what I need and I can always install apps on there myself unless anybody else disagrees with that? (is it outdated and a crappy OS or is it fine to keep on here?)
One problem is that it is not a qwerty keyboard layout but functions as one
For example - y is z and ? is ~
Are there any software apps out there that allow you to configure the keyboard layout?
Kindest regards,
Nic
Winmo5 is a fine OS. Have you tried Resco Keyboard Pro? I use it and really like it. WM5 is older, true, but is considered by many to be the last STABLE version of windows mobile. There are many apps and tweaks you can apply that will upgrade your device considerably.
Hi to everyone.
I've just bought a HTC Diamond on the vodafone network, but need to unlock it as I'm on O2's network.
I've been able to install SPL 1.4 and this shows on the boot loader page.
The problem seems to come when I try and install the 'new' rom. It goes through the whole stage up to 100%. Then on the device it says error code please try again. On my Pc it says error code 226. I've tried it on a windows vista pc, and again on XP. I've also tried it by installing it direct onto the internal storage. This again goes through the installation up to and including 1005, but then come sup with a new screen on the device saying that the update and the radio have both failed to install.
I'd really like to unlock my device and to have a new rom so that I dont have all the vodafone branding.
Like many others, I'm willing to contribute so that research and new software is developed, and I have also read the forums for many hours trying to find a solution to my problem before posting.
Hopefully I can be directed to some help.
Kind regards.
Just to update and incase anyones interested.
I ended up downloading the latest version of the official rom that I could find, then extracted the nbh file using winrar, and installed that from the internal storage which has successfully worked.
Not sure why the other rom image I had wouldn't work, just glad I've got rid of the vodafone bits really.
Regards.
Hi,
I have some trouble on upgrading my Xperia X1 to Windows Mobile 6.5.
I tried to upgrade some months ago with the same error. Now I finally wanted to upgrade, but it doesnt work.
Ive read several instructions here and on a German board, but unfortunately without any success.
The only thing Ive noticed: HardSPL says, that I am running version 1.05.x on my phone and the new version would be 1.00.x, could this be the reason for the breakdown?
I am also looking for a current German Rom for the X1. The one I tried is from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526133
I'm not sure, if there are any newer versions, but it would be nice, if someone could help me.
Here is what I did:
- downloaded the german rom, mentioned above
- unpacked the kovsimg.nbh and put it onto my SD card
- started the HardSPL with the instruction
-> error 260 at 0% (after like 1 minute)
Please help me, I dont know, what I am doing wrong

not many details, but let's see
you successfully flashed h-spl (from olinex thread)? and when trying to flash custom rom you get the error 260? that right?
ensure to use customruu for flashing and not the ruu (hardspl.exe) from h-spl thread
if you use sd for storage of rom image, why not flash using sd-method in the first place?
a newer german rom is here
