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?
I think you will know what to do, so please tell me... I'm flashing my o2 xda mini S and I have now run out of time, I used all my spare time today (2 hours) trying to flash the ROM with RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship but I get the error.
So what do I need to do - how to remove the vendor lock(?) and where to get the program that can do it, if there is one? And is the above ROM okay? I want to get rid of the stupid o2 programs and get into a clean version of Windows Mobile. And of course, the additional speed that hopefully comes with a new ROM is also appreciated
Please explain clearly, I have very little time nowadays to fiddle with these sort of problems
Thanks!
EDIT: Here is the ROM I have in there now: 1.5.4.2 and it's the o2 original ROM that came preinstalled with the phone... that's all I know.

Unlock it first !
Download CID Unlock (search here on this site), then unlock it and then fell free to install Qtek rom.
BB
HTC Diamond "Invalid Vendor"
After many tries, on a phone that I knew was unlocked I was able to download the new update by simply turning off the firewall...My advice is try that first, and see if you can get the update on your phone.
CID Unlocking

To unlock the wizard you need to do three things.
1. Flash the button rom
2. Run Lokiwiz
3. Flash your original rom
Here is a rar archive with all the programs you need
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
password for file is scousemartin
extract it then flash the button rom CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe then run lokiwiz.bat
once it has told you that you have successfully cid unlocked it then you can flash your o2 rom or the one i have supplied in the rar archive, which i think, but cant exactly remember is the same rom you now have. After flashing the o2 rom you can flash any rom you want , as long as it is designed for the wizard,of course
heres a link to a how to for lokiwiz

Good luck
I currently have AKU3.2-1.0RC1.
What do I have to do to install RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2?
Also, Molski mentioned I need an Extended ROM - how do I install that?
Thanks guys.
Tried RomUpgradeUtility_noID .....there was an Error 240 =(
Error 300:
Error message will appear when you use the incorrect RUU version to upgrade.
Error 240:
When this error message appears, check whether the downloaded image is placed in the directory of RUU. If, for some unknown reason, you find that the ROM image is not located in the RUU folder, you have to download the RUU and retry again.

O i got that. that's from the Readme file.....
But what does that mean?....like.can you suggest the next step? =)
Well... I'd suggest that you use this ROM to downgrade with. You should be aware that this ROM also downgrades the ipl/spl so make sure that after flashing it upgrade to an official ROM that also upgrades your bootloader.
NOTE: You have to make sure that your device is CID-unlocked before flashing a custom ROM. If you don't know how, look here...
After these steps you shouldn't have a problem upgrading to the latest molski.biz ROM.
Oh, and the extended_rom is, in the case of molskis rom, already included in the download. As it is in almost every ROM available, so you really don't have to worry about that...
Good luck and give us a shout if you run in to any problems not answered in the above mentioned thread

I had my CID unlocked using lokiwiz. Very happy - first time everything just went as described in the thread....!
However I wasn't able to use __RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe - It gives me an Error 300 again. (My Wizard is newly hard-resetted so I guess I don't mind hard-resetting it again if needed)
Hello!
In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".
Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.
What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?
Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?
I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.
AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Clock: 528 MHZ
RAM-Size: 256 MB
Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there
If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance!

You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.
Good luck.
Regards,
WC

You mean that no person with a general knowledge about flashing rom = busting warranty shouldnt be allowed using a phone?
How do you know anything about what i do with the phone, with what apps im using, and what im using it for?
Mind your own business and come back to the thread when you have something to contribrute.

There's a list of error messages here somewhere. Maybe you can find it here. I think the answer is here. It sais just try again after turning off and turning it back on again
btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.
edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?
if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.
the guides are pretty thorough...
if you read them its clear enough...
(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...
download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)
Then
copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...
rename it to kovsimg.nbh
hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process
this is the easiest way...
but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.
Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.
One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.
The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.
Big difference.
Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.
The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.
Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.
Still no success.
So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?
And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.
I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.
If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.
Have a nice day everyone!
Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.
Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.
Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.

haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!
Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?
Thanks
if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...
obviously you havent flashed the spl...
flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware
or your PC...
which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...

Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.
When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.
When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.
So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?
If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?
Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?
Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?
I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....
Yes I've done.
yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.
which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.

The Phone is still a Proto.....
Therefor not accepted by SEUS
Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.
I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.
In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.
I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.
Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.
offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.
That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.
I've been lurking with the XDA forum for quite sometime now and its my very first posting and I'm having difficulties finding answers on search box I just simply give up looking for appropriate answer to my question. Since I like to use the good old Winmo 6.1 rom (Davideuck_V-7_MSVC to be exact)my bad is I forgot to SPL to earlier version 1.15 so got a green kinda thing on my screen, so I apply Restore_Stock_SPL_115 and everything went fine. (I know I'm stupid ) Unfortunately after I update the Time and Date it suddenly appear " This concludes the beta test for this software release....... blah, blah,.... guess what? its a time bomb can't do anything on screen but to reset. So I decide to re-flash it again but I got stuck at 0% on bootloader mode and got Error 262, I tried to understand whats the meaning of it and I did, but never got any solution how? I tried to flash it with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex to restore Winmo 6.5 but I got stuck again on 0%. something unusual I tried to reflash more roms and it didn't work. All the Roms I've wont reach 1% Even flashing on SD card trick wont load. And my spl ver 1.15 can't flash anything. So I that's why I need your help desperately...
Near enough the exact same situation as me! I think that 1.15 file may have issues.

If you are getting an Error 262, you need to run manual sspl in order to resolve this. Read this post for the steps (post #2) and sspl tool (post #1) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377. You can also get all of the steps needed to successfully flash. if you have questions, please post them in that thread.
It seems when I restart my phone normally, I noticed that the message about " This concludes the beta test for this software release....... blah, blah" the manila interface was behind it when I press the task manager and the volume buttons it responses means its not bricked (hope so) maybe the reason why I cant flash anything? Or whatever...Well that's my observation..... Please guys I needed my phone badly tomorrow
Did you not read my post . You can flash another rom, error 262 is common. You just need to use sspl before flashing to hspl 1.56.
if ur stuck with hspl and cant flash that than try uspl or try stock rom.... they get installed without hspl or uspl installed.... its available in the blackstone wiki section
and with stock rom get through tomorrow . than try hspl or uspl with custom rom later on when u have free time
Upgrade the ROM with latest official HTC release it upgrades the bootloader to ver 1.54 as well. Then you can install the newest version of HSPL or just use USPL to flash whatever cooked ROM you want.
Apologies on replying again here instead of posting on the designated thread , but forgive my innocence the thread says "" launch SSPL-Manual.exe from attachment, run it, wait until 1.07.OliNex tricolour screen says "USB" on it, then run the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on the PC. "" how exactly that's going to be done? Currently I got the tri-color screen saying SPL-1.15.0000 and a USB on the bottom and when I flash either hspl or uspl I always end up on gray screen with a 0% that doesn't move at all, how can I manually apply SSPL? I cant access Manila interface because of time bomb message? My life's getting complicated!
If possible try flashing from an XP box, Vista/7 might give you some additional trouble if you don't use the right drivers. But if you get to the 0% screen, the issue shouldn't be with the SPL... so don't worry, I doubt the phone is bricked
So: try XP and/or using the drivers provided in the Flashing-thread

Did you downloaded the ROM from the HTC site? If the ROM is from the official site try again using USPL.
I seach the wiki page and found the latest version which is "Blackstone_WWE_1.56.405.1" and I can't find it on the official site, it should be "WWE" not specifying on certain countries, so I manage to download it from Rapidshare link. and for the SSPL I don't think I can do that coz I can't access my phone coz it has tim bomb probably the main culprit here.
Any flashing problems should be posted in Dummies Guide thread.
