Hi there,
I am a newbie to this forum and I have been reading some of the discussions posted and trying very hard to understand them.
I am interested in upgrading my BA system to the Windows 5.0 platform and also its compatible ROM version.
Unfortunately my skills are very limited and as such would like to be pointed to the appropriate FTPs' for downloading of self executing programmes to achieve the above. Any assistance in this area wil be most appreciated. Threads linking to freewares that suits the BA will also be very helpful.
I am currently running on ROM Version 1.40WWE Radio Version 1.12 Model PH20B.
Many thanks.
dude, try read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel, i learn alot from it. then try to upgrade your rom. maybe to tmobile nl 1.42 rom. after you get used to flashin rom, only after that you try to upgrade to win 5.0 because its slightly different from upgradin to 2003 rom.

Hi There..
Suggest you read this before you decide.. These are your choices
You can either go for the WM5 Upgrade here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
Or Update yor existing WM2003SE to the 1.42 ROM here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade
Although saying this, as I keep repeating in these types of posts, only upgrade or update if you feel comfortable doing it..
General Tips to you (and others)..
If you do want to update or upgrade then make sure you read everything through first.. Make sure you're happy in doing it.. Perhaps use the search function to read through others comments.. I would also recommend reading others comments about trying to downgrade from WM5 to WM2003SE to see what others have encountered
You will not believe the amount of people who end up posting questions when they've not followed the instructions from Wiki that I've pasted for you here..
Finally, if you are stuck, use the search command and describe your problem in the Keywords section, select Blue Angel from the Category and read through the posts relating to it before posting questions..
Hope this helps..?
Cheers!

I am a newbie with an O2 XDA Mini S
ROM Version:1.1.7.5
ROM date:9/22/05
Radio Version:01.08.10
Protocol Version:4.0.13.18
Ext ROM Version:1.1.7.105
Would like to know which is the best ROM version and procedures to update the ROM And is it possible to install a different manufactures ROM such t-mobile,qtec etc to this 02 Device !!
Pls Guide me through !
Thanks.
Xdawiz,
...cute name for a newbie! The people here expect you to do your research (and I don't blame them!!) ....that means combing through posts as others before you did. This does take time and energy. For procedures to upgrade a ROM I suggest you do a search as there are quite a few posts that tell you how to do it (hint: including one of mine).
The best ROM version??? No one will be able to tell you that becasue it depends on what you are looking for and what you use your phone for and how many problems are you willing to deal with. Do you want the latest and greatest?? Summiters Cingualr AKU 2.3 is awesome! 8) Some of the older ones though have had more testing time and therefore have been refined more. Try going through the AKU2.3 thread and seeing what some of the issues are and if they are ones you can work with. Many of them already have fixes that are quick and easy. Also...maybe look at the "Mr. Clean" AKU 2.3 thread and see whats going on with that one as it does not have any carrier custimizations.
...the only question I can not answer is using a Cingular ROM for an O2 device. Never payed much attention to it since I am a Cingular customer - but the issue is addressed in the thread - read carefully I think you'll find good news!!!
If you want to upgrade your phone and you want to do it right you have to read the threads and the directions!!! There is no easy process. Look at people's IDs and their signatures to see if they are also O2 users.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Hello I've been reading your forum for the past days and I've read so manyy comments I just get more and more confused.
Has anyone tried some WM5.0 ROMS and can explain me if there's one better then another?
Which ones are still in develpment?
What are the newest ones?
I'm really that newb
Thanks in advance
teh CORE
Which one is best is really quite a can of worms... it depends what you're after really!! (Stability, functionality, added apps, speed, get my drift?)
The newest ones are the AKU2.3 versions... they are all less than a week old (more like 2-3 days!) and are still in their infancy, although surprisingly stable all things considered!! (I use one of these and have had no issues...)
Popular ROM's are the TuMa ROMS (1.3 and 1.4), and the Ivan 4.3 ROM with RAMDisk that thingonaspring produced...
Just try them and see what you think :twisted:
Read the threads, just search for TuMa/Logout/Ivan or AKU2.3, you'll find plenty to read
Have you read the wiki?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
the blue angel wiki...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
and the wm5 wiki...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
That said and done i would try all of them. There's a forum for each one. Try tuma 1.3, then try logout 5.4.05, then try ivan 1.11 w/ ramdisk, then if you want to try Helmi aku2.3 but know that it's still in development.
If you want something stable. Stick with ivans. Or if you don't mind the slowness, go with logouts. Each has bugs, the bugs are already posted in the forums for each rom. It's GOING to be slower than wm5, But you get used to it.
When upgrading also know that downgrading can be a *****, but isn't too hard if you read and keep your files separate and clean. Also learn to use editfix.bat. Make a master copy that has your phone info and you can run it on any wm5 rom to make the upgrade without errors.
Hey guys.
I just got me a O2 XDA IIs, and its stock as a rock so to speak, running factory software etc:
Rom: 1.31.00 WWE
Radio: 1.02.00
ExtRom: 1.31.920 WWE
Windows mobile 2003
Now i have never done something like this before so im totaly lost. I have looked through the forum but couldnt find a straight forward solution.
I would like to update the windows to Windows mobile 2005 atleast, and maybe tweak the rom?
If anyone could please post me links to threads to those two ?
Also if it makes any differance its the version made for Australia, as i read somewhere some ROM wont work with our system.
Any help at all would be most apreciated guys really.
Thanks in advance.

Hello there...
I ordered my herald...actually a p4350 and i will be receiving it in a few days..
But as i know it will come with WM5 installed.
So,
i am trying to understand the procedures explained here but..
Theres some modified roms as i see.
So what should be the path to follow...
Upgrading to WM6 from htc's webpage ? or is there any modified wm6 images around?
And what is rom called for? A kind of theme that should be installed after upgrading?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
The best advice each one of us could give you is to start reading the posts your interested in. Make sure you have read enough to know what you are going to do and what to do when it goes wrong.
If your Herald comes packed with WM5 and you simply want to upgrade it to WM6, the best way to do this is by downlaoding the official RUU (Rom Upgrading Utility) for the HTC website (europe.htc.com).
If you're familiar with WM6 and you want to use a customized package then start reading the posts on how to upgrade, the (im)possibilities and it's pro's and cons. Start with reading the topics by ITje on how to upgrade to his rom. The latest version is Touch-IT V3 for Herald/P4350.
Make sure you have the official RUU before you start upgrading to the customized ROM, because you need that one incase you brick your Herald (means something went wrong during upgrade and it isn't working anymore).
All the answers to any question you might have can be found in these forum's. To make sure you don't piss of people or ask redundant question search the forum until you're desperate before you ask something.
Good luck!
