Need help upgrading ROM - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

I have tried upgrading 5-8 times with different upgrades. I am running :
ROM version 2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM date: 2/10/06
Radio: 02.07.10
Ext Rom: 2.17.7.102
I have an unlocked Qtek 9100. I continue to get the error message :260, (according to the recovery process means port open.)
No matter what I have tried nothing seems to work. I have disableld McAfee(my anti-virus) I have tried re-starting both machines. I don't know what else to do.

Did you figure this out yet? I'm in the same boat.
TMO MDA, with stock 1.2 ROM. Can't read a 2GB miniSD card that I can read in a PC. TMO tells me the ROM won't support over 512MB, so i am trying to upgrade. Every thing I try ends in a 260 error.
Yikes!

This question has been posted by You before:

If you did not get an answer is could be due to the fact that you don't tell us much about what you did, what version you are trying to upgrade, what version you have now.
i got the rom files from ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Blueangel/SX66/Beta2-S1.40.00-R1.12.00.E1.40.122.rar
RAR file includes
System 1.40.00
Radio 1.12.00
Ext ROM 1.40.122
I unrar the upgrade into a clean dir, softbooted my sx66, placed back into the crib then made sure activesync was running as well as connected, Then I ran the BaUpgradeUt.exe. from there it crashes instantly with this error message

Can I go back to WM2003?

I've got a Cingular SX66 that I upgraded to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade]WM 5 Build 14343 from the XDA Wiki.
Windows Mobile 5 has been running pretty crappy - not letting me answer calls, running slowly, it just isn't worth upgrading to (for me, anyway).
I really want to go back to WM2003, but I've read that the http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=91465#91465]ROM doesn't work - can anyone help me out?
Is there a way I can downgrade back to WM2003 and have everything working? If you know how to do this or (preferably) have done it yourself, I'd really appreciate at least somewhat detailed instructions. Thanks.
Excuse me but did you do ANY research at all on this before you upgraded? Every other post here states " READ THE WIKI".... A couple minutes worth of browsing the forums here and you would have had enough first hand user accounts of WM5 and then maybe you could have made an intellegent decision regarding possibly turning your device into a "brick" and positively voiding your warranty.
If you look around just a little more you'll find that the downgrade is very painless. Mamaich and others have painstakinly documented the complete downgrade procedure. It's on the same page that you dl'ed the upgrade from ... the quick link is http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
Good luck!

ROM: 5.03.02 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Ext ROM: 1.1.9.106
Radio: 1.15.00
Wow. Did I do any research? Yes, I linked to a page with a discussion about people doing the downgrade and having their Radio completely not work.
I guess you made the exact same totally intelligent decision as I did when you yourself upgraded the exact same device to WM5?
If *you* take 10 seconds to check the link that you posted, you'll see that in step #2, the only ROM available for the SX66 did not pass their tests and that, oh, what's this? The Radio doesn't work, just like the discussion I linked to.
Please don't assume I'm an idiot. Hacking handheld ROMs is not something you should get all offensive and riled up about.
Thanks for nothing. Does anyone have any other info?
hmmm... I have pda2k and I upgrade and downgrade all teh time... is the problem you are talking about specific to sx66?
FedoraPunk I never meant to call you an idiot, just curious on why you did an upgrade after discovering that many people had problems going back? Yes I have the same device. And the first time I did the downgrade, back in July, there wasn't a step 2 ... I took a big chance when Buzz, Mamaich and company started this particular forum knowing that I could very well blow up my device. I'm not riled and I apoligize if I'm offensive to you, I just didn't understand your decision to upgrade after learning the facts.
I personally have upgraded and downgraded my device at least 15 times since then, with no problems going back to WM 2003 excepting an ocassional ActiveSync issue downgrading to 3.8
What I suggest is to use Chris' SX66 (Blue Angel) Standardization Project at http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/
Replace the Standard and Extended Roms with his cooked ROM's. Any problems just ask and I'll be happy to help.

I have (personally) upgrade & downgrade SX66 myself using the link provided above and did not run into any issues.
What exactly are not working after downgrading? Maybe I can check (if I decided to downgrade again)
Ok, I got the right ROM from Chris's site (I chose the 1.33.51 because it's 2003 with WMP10) but I don't know which Radio ROM to flash - can I use 1.15.00? Or is there one that 2003 likes?
I'm using 1.15 with no problems. I personally use the 1.40 but that's me.
Good luck.

btw, I just went back to WM 2003 less than an hour ago ......

Aright, I got 2003 back on there no sweat.
I wanna put radio 1.15, but the directions I'm getting are confusing me. I've got an SX66, unlocked. Could someone send me the deviceinfo or whatever it is? I've got the ROM and the Update app, I'm just fuzzy on what else to do.
Simply replace the radio rom file (radio.nbf) with the new radio rom and run MaUpgradeUt_noID. Being that you've already installed the Rom of choice simply rename / move that file from the install directory on your PC. I personally have never lsot any data or configuration settings by upgrading the radio this way.

I tried that, and got the device ID error. I need some file to tell the updater what device or something?
I have the same problem with that. I used to uninstall AS 4.1 and put 3.8 back on. However now I've gone back and forth so many times with AS that 4.1 won't entirely uninstall. I have to run AS 4.1 now. I use 2nd computer, install AS 3.8, do not configure sync. Place device in bootloader mode and the run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.

Help XDA2s CID preventing me from upgrading with official rom

Hi recently aquired an XDA2s from a friend. However, the firmware has been modified. Would like to restore it back to the original firmware as the SDIO card is not functional. Used the Official ROM, but gave a Country ID error with my device and refused to upgrade.
Have done some homework read the instructions as shown on this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=228852.
However, i am stuck halfway. Here is my Devicetype.txt file description. Only managed to get the Devicetype as PH20B, Language ID = WWE. The rest of the info I can't really make out.
Also, when i use the file : xda2nbftool -t -x,
it gave a warning for ms_.nbf
The rest of the files such as nk.nba and radio.nbf were ignored. See pic.
How do i get the rest of the hex addresses for the radio and nk files ?
Could someone help to generate the final nbf files for me or help advise ?
The Official ROM file versions are here :
English ROM
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Date: 03/10/05
Radio: 1.12.00
Protocol: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.40.923 WWE
MMS: 2.0.0.21
BT: 1.0.0 Build 3900
Can anyone help ?
More information on my existing XDA2s firmware :
ROM Version : 5.04.09.WWE
ROM Date : 11/02/06
Radio Version : 1.15.00
Protocol Version : 1337.45
ExtROM Version : (Left Blank)
Never really heard of ROM Version 5.04.09.WWE. And SDIO Card is not detected. Would like to downgrade to the official ROM as i suspect that the SDIO Drivers are not installed in the existing ROM.
Also, i tried using XDAtools\OSimagetool to copy another XDA2s firmware to this XDA2s. But it failed to write generating an error in the pic. Status of Activesync is connected.

I'm afraid you have read the wrong homework. Those directions are for the Himalaya & Andes, not the angel.
What OS is on the phone now? That will help point to the correct directions needed to reflash the phone.
Flashing to 2003 from WM5 or 6 will vary depending on if the extended ROM has been resized, etc.
Check the angel getting started in the wiki (It's working now)

Oh ... thanks for pointing that out. To answer more questions :
It's running on a generic Windows mobile 5.0. I have a feeling that the Ext rom is already corrupted as the gsm portion of the phone is not functioning properly. I'll do a readup and revert my results. Thanks.
here's the thing. if you have a problem with the CID... all you have to do is find the exe file here named MAUpgradeUt_NoId.exe... use that instead of the exe provided in your Official Rom, i guess that would be WM2003se you are installing.
afaik, extrom havent have a thing to do with the GSM.
Thanks for the reply.
Thing now is that i am trying to downgrade from wm2005 to wm2003 (o2 official asian rom v1.42) But then looks like i am trying in vain.
Tried to do what is in the directions for wm2005->wm2003 by setting it to bootloader mode, doing a hardreset and using maupgrade_no_id with the official nk.nbf
But then it hangs while the check is being done. The xda2s screen shows v2.08 and serial. It changes to usb once the usb cable is plugged in.
Is there any other method i can do to downgrade it ?

I cant get wm6 on my wizard

I have an O2 XDA Mini S - G4 model
i have sat and read how to flash this model. I have installed HardSPL, shown on boot screen as shown by the olip in the version number, i then proceeded to use MUN RUU utility and my chosen rom which was the AMP rom.
I dropped the file into my updater folder and ran the flash tool
It runs through, goes from 1 to 100%, hangs for a short time at 100% then closes and reboots the wizard. All good so far, yes?
No, the ppc reboots and starts up WM5 again and then adds all the o2 customisation.
I have tried using the TNT rom too, same problem. I have also removed HardSPL and tried using SoftSPL. Same damn thing there too, once the flash is complete it reboots and starts wm5 again.
Anyone know whats wrong?
I seem to now have the TNT boot screen, but still have WM5. lol
Heres my device info
ROM Version - 2.21.4.1 WWE
ROM Date - 3/9/06
Radio Version - 02.07.10
Protocol Version 413.1.03
ExtROM Version - 2.21.4.101
Please help me out someone. Its currently standard apart from a tnt boot screen, HardSPL is still removed.
Please Note - I dont have any errors during flashing, it all runs through like its working fine. :s
its all good, i managed to get it sorted using mUn's ShellTool
Sweet application, followed the steps and it worked fine using TNT rom

Can't make phone call or recive it after upgrade ROM

Hello to all,
I have big problem with my BA GSM... I have done a lot of research but I can't solve my problem...
I have upgraded my BA (SPV M2000 ORANGE UK) from win 2003 SE to Win 6.1, Win 6.5 Win 5... But in all ROM versions I don't have a possibility to make or receive call... Phone is on automatic search for network and always founds my home network, but when I'm supposed to receive a call, network is going down (just loose it). When I want to make call same thing happens. When I switch to manual searching for network I get this message: "Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again"
I have tried to change radio ROM to every version you have on forum (right now I am on last 1.15), but still same problem.
When I was on the win 2003 SE, I have to use unlocker to make GSM working and that is working just fine... But when I upgrade to any other version of ROM or radio ROM, GSM doesn't function like it should...
Device information for my BA:
Operatior Version: wm 6.1 ppc Pho...
ROM version: Black Skin HT4...
ROM date: 08/08/08
Radio version: 1.15.00
Protocol version: 1337.45
ExtROM version: 1337.45
ExtROM version: Black Kernel
Model no: PH20B
Many thanks in front for any idea
Try going back to the original ROM or reflashing you current one. I had a similar problem where my sim was not inserted completly and would keep dropping in and out.
Thanks for respond I already tried to change sim card, but same thing happened... I don't know where I can found the original ROM for my SPV M2000 orange UK to try to fix my GSM... Does anybody now where I can found the original ROM for my baby ?
Here are 2 places for the original ROMs, also with original radio ROM.

Thank you for help, I restored phone to shipped ROM RUU_v2.5_OrangeUK_v5.40.1.179.ship and everything works fine... I have don't have any problems..
Is that mean that now I can't upgrade my windows to any other windows for my phone, or I should try again with some differed ROM...do you have any idea what is best ROM for my BA ?
Working Device information:
Operator version: 5.40.1.179
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE

Radio version: 1.06.02
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.40.179 WWE
You should be able to upgrade to other ROMs, I am not to sure why you had the problem with so many different ROMs. I use xplode's R7.1 WM6.5 ROM, but there are other to use. swampy395 also has a pretty good 6.5 ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482997
also make sure to remove the sd card AND the sim card from the device before upgrading and have the battery charged 100%, that should do the trick
please delete
Unfortunately its impossible to change ROM...I tried every Xplode ROM from ver 5 to 6.5, and also I tried swampy395 ROM... Always the same problem remains - GSM drop after I try to call or receive phone call, and after that, no SERVICE at all... I switched to every radio ROM from 1.00.00 - 1.15
I think I'm doing everything ok:
1) removed SIM card & memory card and confirmed that battery is 100% full
2) Entered bootloader and start MaUpgradeUt_noID
3) After upgrade is finished, I have done hard reset and entered in boot menu then do NO YES YES
4) After system is normally booted, I inserted SIM card, switched phone ON and reset it after that, because radio ROM need to boot also
And that's the way I have done upgrade
wow, that's a tough one.
question: i saw, the shipped rom you used, was orange uk, is your phone actually a british orange branded one, or was that just a test shipped rom?
have you ever, in wm2003 or wm6 tried running xda unlock? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=240784 to get a sim unlock or just for fun?
and let me just throw one more thing in the discussion, the newer roms seem to support newer sim cards that wouldn't have worked with wm2003, maybe that is true the other way around as well, maybe your sim card is too old to work in "your new phone". happened to me once with another phone. contacted my operator and they sent me a new sim card, with the same number. a copy of my old card, just on the new ones.
have you ever tried it with another sim card?
wow, that was all i can come up with, your problem is really complicated and you already tried so much yourself, there is hardly anything to suggest anymore
Chef Tony my friend,
I have to unlock my phone when I receive it from UK (ORANGE UK is phone for sure) I do unlock with xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138.exe and its successful. I do unlock again for many times with new ROMs but nothing happened. I also try 4 different SIM card and there is no change... I will contact my network operator to see what they think...
Many thanks for helping me

Hi i have the same problem i changed the rom and the radio but i can get signal

the problem started from no where i never tryed to change anything in my phone before
And after i upgrade the rom my youtube player doenst work!
please make sure, you tested all the things suggested before. plus after posting three posts in a row, i would have expected a little more information, like rom version, country, carrier, radio version and so on. there is nothing new to say, if we have to guess everything.
about youtube, well, that depends on what rom you are using, you might even be able to just go on the site in your browser, of if you want a faster and more reliable solution, try -=this=-
Im still on wm2003... there is no solution for me
