Good-morning to all xda members and many thanks to the people who dedicate a lot of their free time to update Himalaya to Mobile 6.
Im a newbie and i would like you to help me!
Can you reply to this thread by posting all the steps for updating my ppc (Qtek 2020 / wm5) (Steps and software that i need)
e.g 1. charge ppc
2. ActiveSync
3. soft .......
This will help a lot, im afraid that i may damage my ppc that i bought from another person with wm5.
Thanks In advance
also Id like to know if i need to back up old rom and how to do it (also the software)
it's in the zip file of most wm5 roms as a txt file
1. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
2. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
3. Run HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe
4. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
5. Detach your device from the cradle.
6. Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
thank you

the same...........
For the current WM6 ROMs you also need to do a couple of things after that (I believe because they are still really testing ROMs).
From the c_shekhar ROM readme:
Once the device comes to life after hard reset for the first time, goto Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC and check the advance network functionality.

Hi, at first i would like to thank all who dedicate their time and worked hard to update Himalaya to Mobile 6.
Sorry maybe it is a stupid question but do i have to upgrade to wm5 before I can upgrade to wm6? Actually wm3 is on the Hima.
Thank you all for your aswers.

Nope - flashing a ROM erases everything from the previous ROM (except the radio stack and (I believe) the ramdisk) so it does not matter what you had before.

Although flashing itself doesn't erase your ramdisk, but hard reseting your Hima does it so...
There're 3 things you can flash... OS (that's what you're most interested in), radio stack (separately) and Button... The latter you shouldn't even touch, if you don't want to brick your Hima
IIIIIIII did it. Thx for everything. I had o problem with activesync but i fixed it. Its realy cool. im trying BT pan and BT sync. Guys you are the best
Im new on PPC,i would like to ask i have a:
XDA II
Rom Version: 1.66.00.WWE
ROM Date:02/20/04
Radio Version:1.08.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
xtROM Version:1.66.165
Is it ok to do upgrade with atleast 36% on battery level? or i should make it to 100% battery level before i do update?
Why dont you charge it full and try it.
Better safe than sorry
sir im on a hurry i left my charger at home, so you mean it could cause an error? right now im updating im on 27% on progress. sir i would like to ask if this happen that it couldn't finish due to low power supply. what whould happen to my PPC? is it brick? how i can revive this if ever i brick?
Im a newbie. I have a pocket pc for 3 weeks now. All the installation took me about 30 minutes. i think you ll be fine. If this was easy for me that am a newbie imagine yourself
If you will run out of power, you will have to just start again, after charging it. The rule is - better have it at least 50%.

Well, extrom in wm5 is unused on Hima. If you don't plan returning to wm2k3, search the forum for reformatting your disk-on-chip (DOC) in order to join extrom with storage - thus getting storage as big, as 32MB

SX66 BLUETOOTH Expired
Hi. I can not use Bluetooth since I downgraded from wm2005 to WM2003. When I set up Bluetooth, it says”
BTTrayCE
Sorry! Bluetooth can no longer be used because the license is expired

Please help. Thanks. I have tried completed install from original rom CE nad Radio. But the same problem. The extended rom is dead I can not upgrade it since it faila at 1%.
Please help Thanks.
Hi
Did you carefully follow WM2005 -> WM2003 process described in wiki ?
It's very important that you resize, reformat ExtROM and do some other stuff before flashing back to WM2003.
Good luck
i have the same problem.. since octobre without solution
Hi
I ask again.
Did you guys restore your ExtROM correctly ?
(using Repart_DOC.exe tool)
GO to wiki -> blueangel -> blueangel WM2005 page -> how to downgrade....
Good luck
hi robal
I tried but when i use Repart_DOC
I set size 16384 or other sizes but if I click format now, the error message pops up"
Create handle failed.
Please help. Thanks!
Hi
Maybe You forgot to do as described in point "3" of downgrade process :
Prep your WM5 device by formating Storage and Hive.
Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes (well, this is the bootscreen )shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
Quickly press Record+Windows Media before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Windows Media Player button+Record at the same time.
Either way mentioned above should work.
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
You can do that with the camera and the record buttons.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
You can do that with the Windows Media Player and the record buttons.
If you are done, press the mail button, it'll show a white screen for a while, just wait.
If the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, Wait more, you are booting.
The welcome screen to set up your device should appear soon.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should've been done when you had WM2005.
I think it's important to do it, before trying to run Repart_DOC (on WM2003).
Any idea ?
If you've forgotten to do it. You probably will have to intall WM2005 again, do it, intall WM2003 and Repart_DOC it. HUh
have fun
DEAR robal,
Thanks for your information. In fact I did everything like you said before. but nothing help.
I know that I have to creat an extended_Rom in order to get it work. (this is not a big deal since we can install manually.
The most imfortant thing is the bluetooth error. Please help me find a sollutin for it. Thanks!
Hi
So you say, you have WM2003 installed with Extrom CABs from some official ROM ? OK
I'm not familiar with this BT failure. Please tell me exactly what ROM are you using ( CE , Radio, ExtROM )
And what version of BT stack you have.
This error is caused by a portion of the Bluetooth memory being overwritten by something else. The people who are trying to help you are right...you need to reflash the device because something didn't work correctly last time.
I had a tool that restored BT MAC-address, but I cannot find it on HDD.
It was sent by imate tech support as a fix for the "bt license has expired" error, so you may try to contact them, or search this forum.
please mamaich if you can find it this will be very helpful
Dear mamaich,
Thanks for your great imformation. I love to get it as soon as you find it. Again, thanks for your pricious time to repond.
Looks Like every body is stuck...I had solved this problem twice and with full success...on ROM 1.4 pls install the Broadcom 1.6 cab and yes...yr problem is solved... :lol:
Only thing..I was not able to put it install thru Ext ROM...even by editing config.txt....may be someone here can do this :roll:
new problem come out after previous one
hi, I have another problem so.. i need your help.
before, My sx66 problem with bluetooth and the Extended_ROM did not exist.
Now, after many tried to install rom from Tmobile, O2. sx66 over and over again, the extended_ROM is now okay to install but sadly the Storage doen't exist any more. Also some contact, task .. pop up after full installation. Finally,after extended_ROM Complete installed, window
Connection Flash Mangaer
pop ups" Saved data is corrupted.
System will erase all data to fix
this error
Yes No
but It does fix anything after I click yes button.
Please help to recover my storage. If there any software that can partition rom for ppc. please share.
p.s. the bluetooth now is freezing.
what u hv to do is use the Ext ROM Unlocker and use Repart_Doc...Set the size of yr Ext ROM...say 15 MB or so and then do the Repartitioning...now flash yr device...u will get yr Ext Rom Back with no such errors as reported by you
problem solved.
Dear hdubli,

Hi hdubli, a question, what is the ROM 1.4 of the blueangel?
Everything works fine.
But i cant use activesync 4.5 to sync my contacts and so on
(i can install programes but it doesnt sync the conntacts.)
If i disable advanced network functionality the xda freezes
and the computer shows an unknwon usb device.
Can someone help me ?
Sorry for being a noob.
Everything is fine for me, are you sure that you flash the rom correctly as ordered ?
Sync problem
often can`t detect pda synchronitation . it`s show sync problem . Any way to fix it ?
I told you I don't have any problem which mentioned may be you have to reflash your rom, and start from the beginning.
Or first, you can delete your pairing connection with the pc, reinstall your active sync. And try to pair again. If you said "often", I hope this is not because of your hardware problem.
make sure your device is powered on ( the back light is on)..i also get it some time (only if i shut it by pressing Power Button at top)
Himalaya's USB Port is allergic to hubs
Don't try to use an USB Hub to connect the Himalaya to your PC. Always use a direct connection. This solved the problem for me.

Got exactly the same problem, since upgraded to WM6 (Tofclock Fresh ROM) Activesync never finds the PDA. Tried really everything possible, doesn't work. But 'cause there are some beautiful tools like WM5Storage or PIMBackup I don't care about ActiveSync.
May be its - as mentioned here - the USB Connection over USB Hub. But it's an internal one in my case so I can't proof.
And I don't think that the workaround for this problem is a ROM-ReFlash 'cause everything else works fine.
So long

i have same sync problem
i have upgraded from wm2003se to WM2006 AKU7.0 RAMDisk-40MB Pagepool size-24MB for Himalaya and everything is good but no activesync.
i have reflashed 4 times now and still no good.
any ideas???

hi
yep done all that, NO-YES-YES i think the prep work before upgrade did'nt work..
maybe i need to goto wm5 then wm6, but wm5 was too slow for me to use.
a lot of laptops actually have one set of usb ports that are registered as a powered hub and often these don't really have enough power across all the ports... jst an idea...
active-sink!!!!!!!
hi all xperts,
lemme start with my Thanx to Tof the great and Helmi who have made this possible for the good ol' Hima..
Now i need some help -
I installed this package close to a month back with all instructions point by point.
Activesync was the problem..
Today i thot i'll increase the storage space - ran the unlock and then realised the Hima Doc tool is a exe file and i'll hv to have a valid activesync connection before i can get that worked.
Then i thot, i'll reload WM6.0
Again, started in Boot loader - Got the Serial Screen with v1.06 in bottom, connected my device to run the software -
I'm redoing the flash now - wish me luck guyz!!!!!!!!!!

I solved this one myself man And i allready did it all.
Here is a "i think" good one:
HardSPL = A Custom Windows Mobile Rom with some tweaks so that you can do stuff with your PPC
You really should check the TOP Topic in this Forum...That works...
RUU = the Update .exe file. That is de installer dat is going to Flash your PPC
So make sure that the Battery is at minimum 50% and that Active sync is connected Stable and that the Auto standby Energie mode is turned off.
This is what i picked up

Think of it as a hacked BIOS that lets you install a hacked version of windows.
When your phone is HARD SLPed, means you can install any rom for that phone on it.
Remeber! Hard spl is just unlocking your phone to install other roms, but it will not sim unlock your phone!
it a form of a cid unlock trust me i had the same question and didn't want to sound like a noob

That is the Bootloader screen and you should be there. I would have sent you to the wiki, but it is not working currently. If you are updating to another WM2003 ROM then run the file you downloaded now, if you are updating to WM5 or 6 or 6.1 then run the MA_Upgrade file now.

For the phone not working soft-reset. Some say you need to soft-reset twice, but I have never had to. There is a flaw in WM6 that when you disconnect the battery then connect and boot it fails to load the phone module. After booting a soft-reset will load it no problem.
For the wi-fi issue. Goto CommManager and click settings (in the lower right) and then click WLAN settings. Click turn on WLAN. This step loads the wi-fi driver. Now go to CommManager and click on wi-fi and it will work. This step must be done after EVERY reset/boot. But it only must be done once. after that you can turn on and off the wi-fi using only the CommManager as much as you like.
Glad to hear you got WM6.1 loaded and everything though.
Hi, I have HTC Blue Angel running WM6.5 and find that it struggles to run at this level, i am looking to downgrade to the original wm2003 that it came with, I am on Orange UK
Current Seetings :-
Rom Version : 6.5.23004EN
Rom Date : 06/12/09
Radio Version : 1.15.00
Protocol Version : 1337.45
Extrom version : 23004-xplode
could anyone help and tell me excactly what files i need to download to restore to original shipped state and exactly how to carry out the downgrade.
Regards,
John.
welcome to the forum!
ok, what you need is:
- a pc, preferably with windows xp
- a wm2003 rom in your preferred language, e.g. from -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-
-a RUU (Rom upgrade utility), you can try mine there (attached)
and then you go to the -=wiki wizard for downgrading=- and follow the instructions there or follow these shortened instructions:
1. hard reset your device: power+reset, then camera and record, change the values in the menu from No, No, Yes to YES, YES, NO using the camera and record buttons, confirm with the mail button.
2. put your device in bootloader mode
3. connect it to the pc using the cradle or a usb cable
4. extract the shipped rom in any folder
5. put the maupgradeut_noid in there and start it
6. have a look, whether the 2nd page shows device and rom information, if not, exit, start task manager and kill activesync (wcesmgr and wcescomm) and go back to step 2
7. start the "upgrade"
8. when it's done, perform a wm2003 hard reset by pressing power+reset, and wait for the versions to show up in the bottom right corner, if all the values changed from your previous wm6.5 versions, you're probably fine and done by now.
in very rare cases, something goes wrong, some combinations of pcs and devices wouldn't work with my ruu, but you would realise that at step6 or 7, try and download another ruu then and try again, i think there also is one linked in the wiki.
at the end, your device should read something like:
R:1.12.00
G:1337.42
D:1.06.02
with best regards

Bootloader
Hi i dont know if this makes any difference my Bootloader is showing Version 2.05 Reagrds.
no, it does not make any difference, since the bootloader's version is not the problem. before you go on doing anything, you should have a good look at this site:

and unless you are sure, the installation of the driver was successful, you should not attempt to flash the device, because then you will end up with a half-flashed device, that cannot be switched on and maybe also not flashed anymore.
http://firmware.atspace.com/ can't be accessed. is there any other site for wm2003se rom ?
I have the same problem, as i m downgrading to WM 2003, i followed all the instructions as u mentioned here, but when i run "maupgradeut_noid" it always said that this ROM is not for your device, i have Orange SPV M2000 (Blue Angel), please help i cant able to downgrade to WM 2003.
One more thing is there any way to Merge ExtROM with Storage in Windows MObile 6.5?

ok, we are dealing with several different things here:
1. the storage resize:
no, it can only be done in wm2003, no way to do it in wm5 or above, you have to downgrade
2. while attempting to downgrade, don't forget to put your device into bootloader mode, before connecting and starting maupgrade, then there will be no device error anymore.
3. of course for downgrading you need the original rom, at best from xplode's shipped rom archive, if you can't access it, just tell me your favoured language and country, and i will look it up and send you the direct download link. btw. xplode's site works fine!
favoured languange : English
Country : Indonesia
please send me the direct link. thx a lot. chef_tony
since he doesn't have indonesian roms and you are fine with english, here are the links of 2 different UK roms, you should be fine with.
T-Mobile UK WWE 1.42.00 1.42.112 1.13.00 Download (Ziddu) / Mirror 1 (Rapidshare) / Mirror 2 (Megaupload)
O2 UK WWE 1.40.00 1.40.242 1.12.00 Download (Ziddu) / Mirror 1 (Rapidshare) / Mirror 2 (Megaupload).
i hope these links work for you.
thx a lot chef_tony. I almost forgot. I want to ask whether the different rom can drain the battery fastly ? because my battery drain faster using WM6.5.
the power consumption of the device mainly consists of 2 things:
- wireless communications (gsm, gprs, bluetooth, irda, wi-fi)
- hardware usage (cpu & ram)
the wireless does not really vary from rom to rom but much like on the pc, graphically more intense applications use more power and since wm6.5 has a much nicer shell, it uses more ram and cpu to run. that uses more power.
if you want to save battery, reduce the backlight intensity, let the device switch off faster and end all applications that you don't need and de-activate wireless communications that you don't use. still then the battery life is limited but that is something you will have to learn to put up with.
thx chef_tony. I want to ask about the memory used ? is it better with storage 42mb and program 90 mb or repart it into default which is storage 60mb and program 60 mb ? is this RAM configuration also affect the battery consumption ?
no, that has nothing to do with that, because you don't resize the ram, you resize the extrom and the storage. that doesn't have any influence, kind of like the size of the sd card does not have influence.

welcome to the forum!
ok, what you need is:
- a pc, preferably with windows xp
- a wm2003 rom in your preferred language, e.g. from -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-
-a RUU (Rom upgrade utility), you can try mine there (attached)
and then you go to the -=wiki wizard for downgrading=- and follow the instructions there or follow these shortened instructions:
1. hard reset your device: power+reset, then camera and record, change the values in the menu from No, No, Yes to YES, YES, NO using the camera and record buttons, confirm with the mail button.
2. put your device in bootloader mode
3. connect it to the pc using the cradle or a usb cable
4. extract the shipped rom in any folder
5. put the maupgradeut_noid in there and start it
6. have a look, whether the 2nd page shows device and rom information, if not, exit, start task manager and kill activesync (wcesmgr and wcescomm) and go back to step 2
7. start the "upgrade"
8. when it's done, perform a wm2003 hard reset by pressing power+reset, and wait for the versions to show up in the bottom right corner, if all the values changed from your previous wm6.5 versions, you're probably fine and done by now.
in very rare cases, something goes wrong, some combinations of pcs and devices wouldn't work with my ruu, but you would realise that at step6 or 7, try and download another ruu then and try again, i think there also is one linked in the wiki.
at the end, your device should read something like:
R:1.12.00
G:1337.42
D:1.06.02
with best regards
