Just upgraded to WM5

Hey guys, before anything please let me thank you for this amazing site. You have made a complete n00b to a power-user in 2 days flat. Please do allow me to tell you my story. 2 Days ago I got this thing called O2 XDA IIs (HTC Blueangel) and I got it for around 300US$ (Unlocked/New) was not so fond of Windows devices so intended to sell it off asap and get some other phone, was just doing a little R&D on the net to see what all is available for this thing. When I came across to your site, here's when I got so intregued by the capabilities of this thing.
First I intalled the latest ROM for my device, after getting little confidence I installed WM5 with my fingers crossed. Its all done now but have a few things to ask you guys.
1. When you mentioned about the EXTROM you said that you'll have to copy the files on the StorageCard\ExtRom when all I did was copy nk.nbf into the folder called WM5_Pack_V3 and ran the installer. I did run the batch file to get the oper_code from the DeviceData file. It was all done, I was really scared but now am worried did I do the right thing?
The Device Information TAB shows
ROM Version : 5.03.02WWE
ROM Date : 03/02/05
Radio Version : 1.12.00
Protocol Ver : 1337.42
ExtRom Ver : TuMa v1.3
2. It took me long enough to install this what all tweaks should I do to it so that it stays at the maximum bug-free current stage. (Hope you get me)
3. I need the starting screen to display something other then those scary 3 colored lines
Some things that I noticed after upgrading:
1. WM5 It's a little slow, but definately much better looking and show-off value.
2. I have a Wi-Fi enabled ADSL router at home by which I connect the O2 and other devices its working fine on.
Any help/suggestions/comments are welcome.
A brief intro for me would be have worked as a beta tester for many symbian application providers, was a complete S60 geek and am majorly into bikes & bike photography

Nothing said yet?

Im not sure I understand that whole Extrom deal, but what I can say is that the files that were in the extrom folder inside the upgrade pack must be put in the storage card in the same folder, but that is only if you want MMS and have a camera, if not, then there is nothing to do, unless you edit the Cfg.txt to load all your apps and settings after a hard reset. I guess that if you are able to use the device, you did everything ok as far as the flashing goes. it is a little slow, but its come a long way from the first versions, those were slow as hell, thanks to Mamaich and Tuatara and everyone else this version is running great!
as for the 3 color bar start up screen, there is nothing you can do about it...

Yeah I really forgot to thank Mamaich and Tuatara for their awesome work, now I am really scared as I dont like the slow response and am unable to downgrade. ActiveSync shuts down whenever I try to run the MaUpgradenoID.exe file activesync stops and it is giving errors in connecting, gets DC frequently. And moreover the Manufacturer supplied upgrade is also not working it gives a CountryCode error. Am really confused and scared now what to do?

Well I did not get any help but with loads of tinkering I got the thing done, I wanted to know why was WM5 so slow, otherwise the interface is loads better then the current CE I am using.

I have the Cingular version SX66 Blue Angel. I was able to update it without any problems. Usually speed is very different with those who flush the registry and with those who don't. Make sure you flush your registry after you completed the update.
Mine is faster and way more stable than the other version I had on it. Remember to follow all instructions exactly. if there is a link you need to check and make sure you do the format, change the ram size on the device, then upgrade.

There are no instructions on how to flush the registry can you enlighten me on this?

During the flashing process, the wiki instructs the user to do a hard reset
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_HardReset
You should answer NO, YES, YES to the boot questions.

Hmm yeah, I did do that. And just am in the process of downgrading from the buggy WM5. It doesn't work out for me.

and THAT'S where I got problems!
in the manual, it says I have to download my latest favorite ROM version, and FROM that file i should copy the nk.nbf the "DOWNGRADE TO WM2003SE" folder..and that's what seems impossible to me, since the Rom-update i downloaded is an .exe application, and not a .zip or .rar archive..
so how should i get the nk.nbf file out of the Rom-update .exe file..?
help

well some were in the same documentaion it should also say use rar or zip to unpack it (being the exe file).
Pls spend some time in wiki you might find some other answers

yeah i had tried that already back then butthat didn't work either..when i try that it still just starts running the program.. :?

Try these instructions with your exe file:

Debranded MDA Compact II ROM, 'Qtek' Style

now obsolete
new aku2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279908

so am i right in presuming that the gprs settings and phone settings are present in the rom? if not, how do we find them?
ALSO:
T-Mobile are releasing a rom update this month (ie this coming week!) so it might be worth looking at what they have done, not just for wifi fix but any other maintenence changes. Apparently they do alot of testing on their roms so there might be useful stuff there.

t-mobile gprs and wap settings are part of the extended rom. the 3 cabs files that begin CAB-Customization-...
i didnt include them as i'm on O2. This is more like a 'Qtek' version for the charmer, a universal version. doesnt include any operator specfic content.
looking forward to that update, hopefully its aku2, everyone else is releasing theres at the moment.

SDIO
What about SDIO drivers in this debranded OS?

so if i back up my current rom cabs and then install this, if it all goes pearshaped, i can relaod the origional and not end up with an expensive paperweight?
i wanna do the deed, but am scared as hell with it being my first PPC and only a few weeks old at that.
but anything to speed it up, its like im running windows or something.......
oh!
:wink:

only way you could mess up is if you pull the plug or have a power cut! while uploading the new os. remember to backup all your contacts and stuff as you'll need to hard reset.
you can start all over again if it doesnt boot or something by using the install package on the t-mobile site
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
just go into the phones bootloader, with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable until the 3 color boot screen comes up and run the install package to go back to factory.

It worked!!
Dear dave106 and all;
i tried your fantastic upgrade yesterday. This was my experience:
1- I works like charm!
2- you might find it easier to use Total commander to uncheck 'system' and 'read-only' in the properties of the windows folder on your charmer, before Unlocking CID (to avoid any error).
3- alternatively you might use Lockiwiz 2b from this forum to unlock and unlock CID first.
4- the ROM upgrade went fine, showed some error messages on the charmer screen (nothing to worry about) but did not indicate an end. I unplugged it after 20 minutes. It rebooted on itself et voila, it was up and running.
5- Changing the boot scrren went very smoothly.
6- I noted that the T-mobile customization (after the new config.txt) did not install at all. I had to manually install the CAB listed in the config.txt file to reload the MMS and GPRS settings.
But now my charmer has no T-mobile crap on it...
However, i did not notice any dramatic change in speed....

Ill check your unbraded rom for wifi sdio capabilities over the next few days (on a 'just in case' basis). I'm just recovering from a totally borked pagefile on my main pc so ive been too busy to try as of yet.

is this howto working on that device ?

thats a wizard, so you can just cid unlock it and install the imate or qtek wizard roms. the mda compact 2 is unique to t-mobile no other operator has it.

aeh....your sentence sounds strange to me, is it possible for my device or not ?

Yes, you can always install apps manually.

then poo no need in wipeing my settings out i dont really think i need these apps neways but if i did where could i dl them or is there a way to extract them out of the .exe?

After installing this ROM, I can no longer flash to other ROMs. During the ROM flash wizard, and after the phone does the initla reboot to the multicolor screen, the update fails and the installer immediately goes to recovery mode.
Has anyhone else seen this, and is there a fix?

I would try downgrading to the stock T-Mobile 1.08 ROM and then you should be able to upgrade to whatever ROM you want. If you can't even downgrade I'm not sure what you can do.

mskovrinskie, I've tried to Update my ROM, I managed without problems so I guess it's your phone or software causing the problems.
I used the original Qtek 2.17 update.

I personally think this ROM rocks. Ran the Cingular Connection cab from the shipped ROM and not much else. SmartsKey and Omap were already installed along with the other neat things Vilem referenced.
Seems very fast and stable but then again all I run is MS Voice and Adobe Reader as even the newest ClearView is too lacking for my needs. And most cool is that the big button dialer skins seem to work without the wierd graphics, etc I experienced with previous versions.
Just my two cents ...

Yes it will work with a 8125.

8125 AKU 2.2 ROM has been posted on HTC America

http://www.htcamerica.net/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
This ROM is AKU 2.2, if I understand the numbers correctly.

On your marks, get set, go!!!
So is there supposed to be anything in this official ROM that is an improvement over summitter's latest?
BTW, I have summitter's 2.3 test 2 but when I go to device info the Rom version is 2.24.10.1WWE. I am guessing this is because it is based on the leaked version from Cingular but would like to confirm this.

It's a corrupted file. I tried downloading it last night and again today just to confirm.. Doesn't seem to be able to get past a certain point before it errors out stating that it's corrupted.
If anyone has gotten it to work, I"d be interested in hearing about it though..

Just downloaded it fine this way no issues, not installed it as i run a UK phone and being new here, and new to the imate systems dont know if it work or not
I kepted it on my comp so if someone needs it i can upload to a server to download for others.
Just send me a PM and i upload.

Keep trying until your downloaded file is about 51MB.

It does appear to be corrupted. It only shows 39MB when it should be 51MB. Strange.

If anyone can post the real file to the ftp that would be greatly appreciated. I can't get it to download correctly.

This is about par for cingular

Yep looks like mines only downloaded 39.1 meg in size sorry.

I think they're re-uploading the file now, because I'm downloading it repeatedly, and the file size keeps increasing. Shouldn't be more than another few minutes before the full file is there. Last I checked it was at over 37 megs.
EDIT: The file is complete, 50.0 megs. I'm finishing up applying the update now.

The link to the ROM is now gone entirely from the HTC download page.
Sumptin's up.

Ignore the fact that the link is gone, the URL at the beginning of this thread still works and points to the now completely re-uploaded file.

And it does work.. I just finished the update, and am in the process of a final soft reset after the Cingular app install..

Yeah, I'm all finished with the install and have started to reconfigure my phone. Unfortunately, I'm at work and don't have my apps here.

idownload and installation complete
so far so good. i am testing it right now.
installed no problem.
the screen for installation showed a more square version of the wizard.
"x-cingular. raising the bar" logo on bootup
it has got some new programs and fetures like.
goodlink - real-time push synchronization of email attachments, and PIM data
get express mail - email for corporate, personal mail while on the go.
dont ask me how to use them, its just there.
the rom version is 2.25.11.1 WWE
rom date: 5/11/06
radio version : 02.25.11
protocol version: 4.1.13.12
extROM version : 2.25.11.102
so far looks to be running faster then normal, but that could be coz its a clean install.

Seems to be working well here. Definitely faster. Will report as more tangible things become apparent. Comm manager has a much nicer look and feel and acquiring an IP address on my wireless network is much quicker.

[BETA] WM6.1 Clean Developer Edition Revision 1.1

After long last, I've finally updated the WM6.1 Clean Developer Edition and have fixed up almost all the problems you guys had with the original.
Changes from original 1.0 version:
Portrait Camera now working
MMS 4.0 is included with basic MMS settings
Custom splash screen!
Some other bugs I can't remember...
User Customization 2.0 - You'll really like this if you have a microSD card!
Installation:
Installation is now completely automated. If you are currently running the official T-Mobile ROM, please run the CID Unlocker.exe that is included.
Once you are CID Unlocked, run the Windows Mobile 6.1.exe program.
Done!
If at any time you want to go back to the T-Mobile ROM because of an error flashing or whatever, you will need to turn your phone on in bootloader mode. To do this, hold down the camera button and then press and release the power button while still holding the camera button down. Your phone should go to a screen with red,green, and blue bars. Plug it in to your computer now and run the T-Mobile Update from their site.
Download link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/vxxsq3
Rapidshare mirror: http://rapidshare.com/files/133831473/Clean_Developer_Edition_Revision_1.1.rar.html

Beautiful, I love for your work .

did you add rickwyatt fix for the interface
edit
after trying to download this 10 times already im kinda pist
upload it somwhare else it stops like half way

huh?
okay i must first apologize for my ignorance, as i am very new to this. first what is "CID unlocked"? Also, are there still bugs being worked out of this rom? i previously had a dash ( HTC Excalibur ) and used a 6.1 rom from an xda member and really liked it. T-mobile has not issued a release date for wm 6.1 and frankly i am sick of waiting! will this rom work the same as the previous rom i used for my dash? thank you ahead of time for any answers and help you may be able to provide me with.

Everything works perfect! The only thing I have not tried is mms but I don't mms often.
Thank you for all your hard work!

Noted BUGS

#BUGS
#####
1.) To upgrade from Dev 1.0 to 1.1, I for some reason had to cid unlock. For some reason, every time I tried to flash the Juno, I kept getting an invalid certificate message.
2.) Microsoft's Getting Started App is missing.
3.) After LiveSearch is installed, when a user tries to exit the application they would encounter a missing resource error. (Note: This never occured in the 1.0 version. I'm currently googeling for a solution).
-----
That's all I could find. Otherwise, great ROM. I've noticed it works a bit faster then the 1.0 Rom, what changes did you make?

I also upgraded for dev1.0 to 1.1 and did not have to cid unlock the exe worked great
live search I have no problems with and get no error win exiting
getting started is missing and looked in the windows folder I did not see it there so I think he removed it but who needs it I did have a died shortcut in the all programs for it but after adding more programs to it it is gone
the battery on the settings slide still needs to be edited in the reg to open
still have to try User Customization
but all and all works great

hopefuly need4speed can make a cab to fix these bugs brcouse im kinda sick of flashing my phone

Problem with install
Hi All
I have tried several times to follow the steps to upgrade to this Windows Mobile 6.1 using ND4SPD's file from both download sites. After running the unlock procedure, when I start the Windows Mobile 6.1.exe installation proceeds to just after the status bar comes up on the phone, Then, I get an error that the image file is corrupted. The phone reboots back to Windows Mobile 6 Standard.
What could the problem be?

What exactly does user customization 2.0 do?

Dose your phone turn white after running CIDunlocker.exe? Also u have to remove storage card and restart phone before anything.

I just tried without the memory card.
Yes it turns white. The unlock util reports success.
I reboot the phone, start the update util, the screen gets red green and blue bars.
At 2%, the update util shuts down with:
"ERROR [270]: Update Error"
"The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility."
The phone then reboots.
So, what do you think ?
Tim

@tech_hardman: this will NOT run on the gene. It is specifically meant for the htc juno. If you try it, it might brick your phone.
@guitarkid6920: UC 2.0 basically allows you to have all of your settings, programs, etc installed automatically after the rom is installed so you don't have to work on it every time you flash a new rom.
@timtillman: Make sure that after your phone gets the app unlock that your phone restarts. Physically disconnect from your computer and wait for it to restart after the app unlock. It should work.
