Looking for 1.40 ROM for PDA2k

Ok... I want to upgrade my PDA2k, but am a bit on the chicken side. Has anyone created or cooked a COMPLETE ROM for the PDA2k that they can post a download link to?
I can do the flash myself, but don't know how to cook a ROM and don't have the tools. I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!

ROM Upgrade
Read this site. It's all here.
This FTP site has the ROM for Blue Angel. I used this one to upgrade my PDA2K. Works much better than the released version. Only problem is with sound after using the built in MS PocketPC CLOSE command; just don't use it, use another program like "Launcher" that has it's own CLOSE command which does not cause the problem.
Here is the FTP link: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/BlueAngel_Roms/BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom/

ChrisSpera,
Can you post a reply once you do the upgrade? I'd like to do it too, but I'm not as sure as you are on what to do. I also have a PDA2K from the US and would like to know how it goes.
Thanks,
Tom

Well, I got a little help from one of the patrons of this site, and I did get my PDA2k flashed with the 1.40 ROM, 1.12 Radio, and am working with a somewhat baked extended ROM. I've actually been tweaking it most of the day.
If you're using Cingular with your PDA2k, make certain that you grab the Cingular settings file from Club i-mate. You'll need those, as the settings in the SX66 ROM I used aren't quite right, though they work. Applications that automatically dial out via GPRS will not function correctly with the Connection Settings in that ROM. I am working with the guy that helped me to test the fixed connection settings, and when they are fixed, I'll let you know.
If you're using T-Mo, then make sure you get THOSE settings from Club i-mate and use those instead.
All is good, though! It works! I did have one hiccough, though; as my PC lost connection with the device BEFORE any flashing started. I bounced the box, leaving the device in the cradle, and was able to pick it back up from the beginning without any problems.
The device seems snappier. It connects to the PC faster, and boots faster. Pretty cool all told!

Thanks for the feedback! I hate to say this but I already started. It's been pretty slow in the office today, so I said...what the hell...and went for it. Wish I knew about the tmobile thing though. I'm just finishing the upgrade.
Where do I put the tmo information? Or, what do I do with it?
Tom

Chris,
What version is your extended ROM? Mine is 1.22.162 WWE
BTW, mine had the same problem with losing the connection. It's happened twice now. I updated my radio and the same thing happened. Strange.
Tom

I am using the SX66 1.40.110 (i think) version of the extended ROM.
If you go to the support area on club imate, and click on the Operator settings link in the support downloads area, you should be able to find a download link for a CAB that installs T-Mo connection settings. download it and use it to create your connections settings on your device.

I downloaded it and installed it. Didn't find it real helpful. I still had to go through everything to get mms and email setup. Oh well. Thanks for the tip though.
I've had it up and running for the past 24 hours and while I think the OS works a bit better I can't see a huge improvement. The phone is more responsive though.
Any notes on changes would be helpful. I did notice that the BT connects had a strenght signal now, which I find really helpful.
Question: Was this upgrade supposed to do anything to the extended ROM? Because the version is the same as before.
Thanks,
Tom

I just comprehended your post. Sorry about repeating the question when you already answered. How, or why, should I upgrade the extended ROM? I take it the upgrade I just did did not put the upgraded files in the extended ROM?
Tom

The extended ROM, which is about 16MB in size holds the custom software that comes on the device. You don't have to upgrade it at all. You can leave it be if you're happy with the software that's there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the upgrade that was just performed by you and I install the new files into the ext rom automatically? Or, do I have to do it manually....copy the cabs from the laptop to the ext rom?
I've just been reading about cooking an ext rom and I'm going to give it a shot.
Tom

that depends on the files the update contained. Look for *.nbf files in the temp folder you launched the update from. What was in there? MS.nbf is the OS, radio.nbf is the phone and nk.nbf is the extended ROM.

I think I screwed something up. radio.nbf and nk.nbf were in the temp file but MS.nbf was not. Was it in yours? I believe I pulled the same file as you did from the link provided but there's no mention of it in there.
I also took a look at my extrom folder and none of the files that were listed in the link are in there nor loaded. I guess I'm getting things confused. Did you copy all the cabs into the extrom folder then run BAUpgradeut.exe? I just ran BAUpgradeUT.exe and thought they'd copy them over. I think I was wrong.

If you want help with with WM2005 on a Himalaya device, I would recommend asking at the Himalaya forums, not here, as the Blue Angel has no WM2005 yet.

Hello,
I have installed the last version of Destinator (5.1.65) on a Himalaya running Windows Mobile 5 and I didn't have any errors.
But I had a lot of trouble connecting the Bluetooth GPS and configuring the COM port. I recommend to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...0&postorder=asc&highlight=destinator&start=25
As far as I know since 05/09/2005 and thanks to almighty buzz_lightyear you can upgrade Blue Angel to, see http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&task=listcat&catid=3

I have Destinator PN as well and have problems with it on WM5. The install fails running from Activesync or by manually copying the cab files to my SD card and running from there. I managed to get it to run by restoring files from a backup i had. But i cant connect to my bluetooth gps. Under WM2003SE i was connecting to com port 6. i tried what WC posted with the tomtom patch for com 6 but it still wont work. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks

OMG!! Where's the moderators? isnt that the moderators job is to moderate every single thread here..

Destinator PN running WM5
Hi Guys,
Just installed Destinator PN to my BA running WM5. Installed OK and running sweet.
Anyone having installation error - processor or OS type error. There is a solution. Locate the file default.ini in your DestinatorApps folder. Double click on it , it should open with Notepad. Scroll down to the Platform section and insert this line P2577v351=ARM save and close. Then try installing your software from the Destinator Console.
Have fun.

@tcmg1666, what WM5 rom version are you running? I have mamaich's 2nd patched rom and Destinator's install has always failed for me. I'm going to try what you suggested now and see if it works.
Edit: I have just hard reset and still cannot complete Destinator installation. The Destinator install program will install Destinator English but fails on the rest of the package. I am able to install the TextToSpeech part ok. tcmg1666, I would really appreciate if you could tell me what rom you are running and how your install went. Also what version of Activesync are you running? I am using 4.0 build 4343. Thanks

Destinator PN with WM5
Efjay, I am running with Maimaich BA_WM5_Patch2. My Rom version 5.03.02WWE, Radio 1.13.00. I am using Activesync 4 build 4343.
I am sorry to hear that you are having problem with your Destinator PN installation. My installation went smoothly from the Destinator Desktop Console. I did not have to hard reset after the installation. Just launched Destinator on the device and it executed straight away. Destinator found my wired GPS straight away. I have a Seido Car mount with wired GPS, it worked beautifully.
Can you tell me what sort of error on installation?? Glad to help if I can.
Did you get the 'Unknown Processor type or OS type??

@tcmg1666 thanks for replying. My problem is this: when I install from the console it will look like the install has finished. I get the prompt to check my device. On the phone I will get 2 prompts; the first to install Destinator English will succeed. the second prompt will be to install Destinator Apps; this will try to install then give me the message installation was unsuccessful. As I said I tried a hard reset and still get the same result. I don't get any other errors. I can install the TTS engine with no problems. I have also tried reinstalling the console. Nothing has worked so far . I did try what you suggested as well. Any ideas? what version of destinator do you have?

DEstinator PN with WM5
Efjay, sorry to hear of your installation problem.
I am stumped. I am running Destinator PN version 5.1.118 in my Blue Angel.
May I suggest you try and remove Destinator from your device and do a hard reset and then try to re-install Destinator afresh in Main Memory and if you are sucessful, the Maps can be installed in your storage card. Apart from that I have run out of idea. As I said I did not encounter any installation problems on my device.

tcmg1666, I am running (under 2K3SE) version 5.1.65. I bought it from Routeplanners.co.uk around July. Seems I have a later version than yours which you would think is more compatible. Is yours the European version? Maybe the version number is the clue as to why its not working and Destinator need to update the software. Thanks for all your help.
Edit: just to add i have also tried reinstalling the console on my pc, hard resetting the BA, deleting all folders and registry entries and install still fails.

Destinator PN
EfJay, I am running Destinator PN Australian version. I got it from www.pressdigital.com.au .

looking for info!

hello, iv got an xda2i and iv had it for about a year, i think its a a cracking pda, i removed the o2 active software when i first got it, by clicking no on the intial startup of the phone, iv installed various few other apps, including tom tom sat nav, iv seen on another thread about if i update my rom i cud increase the infra red capability, but what i want to know is, if i update my rom will i loose the prgrams which are installed on my pda? (as i dont think i have the paperwork for my tom tom anymore) and also what benefits will i get by updating my rom?? any information on 'modding' my xda wud be greatly appreciated
thankyou

...If you upgrade everything you installed on the xda2i is lost because your register settings are also lost. Only programs installed on SDCARD will work afterwards, allthough you've got to re-register them afterwards (the system will automatically ask you for it)...
...about increased capabilities, i don't know, but there're a lot of people who can help you further, but therefor, you've got to tell what kind of ROM you've got and which one you want to use to upgrade...

ok, well i have
ROM version 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date 12/24/04
Radio version 1.00.00
Protocol version 1337.39
ExtROM version 1.10.124 WWE
all of my programs are installed in storage on the phone, i think i have the serials for everything but my tom tom, i think iv still got the program but i dont have the serial number for it anymore, will i loose my tom tom if i dont have this or can i get it some how??
Whats a good rom and what will i do! (sorry im a newb!!)

...almost every program shows registerkey in the 'about menu'. So you just have to look for it.
About upgrading you can find a lot of info around these posts...

WM6 Step by Step

Hello to all,
Can it someone explain to me in steps how I can install WM6 on my HTC3600?
Currently is on Germany language, but I would like to switch it on English.
Thanks a lot on your help.
Regards

1) decide which rom you want (I used LVSW)
2) go to the thread and read 1st post
3) grab the 3 files attached
4) they are zip's, extract each to thier OWN folder.
5) go to each folder IN TURN as listed in the thread and run ROMUtilityUpgrade that is enclosed IN EACH folder.
STOP between each folder / Upload to phone and check your phone
THE VERY first one HardSPL MAY give an error, HOWEVER just run it again, seems ActivSync throw a fit and then the computer has to re-connect, HOWEVER after that off you go.
ALSO use NON-Vista machine

Can you give to me little help with a GPS tomtom 6....?
What I need to download and install?

No worries
What exactly do you want to know about tom tom?
First off I'll assume you are buying the software. In which case you want this
http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=281&Category=2&Lid=1
now you dont have to buy it from them direct, however that is the product you want (it may be cheaoer elsewhere)
If it's already on a memory card.... just pop the card in the slot and it'll do everything for you.
I would HIGHLY recommend making a copy of the card contents to your computer, just use activ synch and explre the device till you get to the storage card then copy and paste the entire contents of the card to somewhere safe.......
Then EITHER push this up to a larger card or carry on with the card you buy.
Install Tom Tom home on your computer, it will then synchronise your maps and voices and stuff BUT more importantly it'll auto update your software for you.
You need to be running 6.03
in this version tom tom can be set to use "built in gps receiver" after that away you go... simple and Deech proof
edit for spelling mistakes

lol.. you are really fast....
can it be anything without buying orginal software or maps ?

It can and if you know where to look I am sure you will find what you seek young Jedi
I arent going to preach but note I did buy this software mainly for updates and technical back up
If you "acquire" the software read any threads / forums from the place where you get it from
Fast cos laid on the couch nursing a size 10 thick head after last night

ihihihihihi...
okay..... i will search... my the force be with me
Again problem,
Im facing with extremly battery drain, after charging standby was just 36 hours, before was around 5-7 days i think.
Is there any solution for this??
Thank you... Mr.Vader

An my young jedi, yes there is....... and if I can get it to work it should be attached to this post.... Also read the MuN RUS Rom thread it has been flagged-up thier with alsorts of solutions including this .cab
Drop it onto your memory card and ermmm run it

I get an corrupted image error when I try and flash the hard-spl?
Anyone know how I can get around this? tried searching for info and the search function just brang up unrelated posts, and theres nothing on the wiki despite it being a common problem.
So please forgive my stupidity, and enlighten me on how to solve this?
I have an M700 with shipped rom installed
Thanks in advance,

after i upgrade to wm6, how hard is it if i want to go back to wm5, how hard is it to downgrade? Do I have to back anything up?

back up contacts etc
back up ringtones etc
grab a rom with WM5 in / on it, and re-re-flash the phone, leave the radio rom as it was mind as it's seperate from the WM section

Ahhh great thanks.
Just what I was after.
As you are using the LVSW like myself you may have an answer to my other question.
Is there a .cab file to fix the awefull sound on WM6 and the trinity?
Media player is so quiet, if I can't fix it, I'm going back a stage to WM5 as I use the MP3 player side of it allot.
Many thanks.
Shaun.

Hi,
i have just loaded wm6 following the instructions here and now i am getting USB device is not recognized.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks
Stephen

are there any issues not completely solved on the available non-official WM6 ROMs for Trinity?
I'd like to upgrade mine, but only if all the initial problems have already been solved.
BTW, my Trinity came with TomTom 6 pre-installed. If I upgrade to WM6, will I have to purchase and install a new copy of the software?

All seems to work fine now, any issues then there will be a .cab file around here somewhere, main ones are ATIfix, when does somthing to make tomtom work nicely, power fix which address' some power useage issues.
The tomtom that come with the handset is a crippled try before you buy version (well it is here in the UK ) So ermmm yes, you would need to buy a full version, but on the plus side it's yours forever and no matter what you do to your phone you can always put it back Unless the tom tom is on your SD card in which case REMOVE the card before you start and re-install when you've finished rom-ing

Failed with upgrade to wm6
Hi all
I just got mine 3600 and tried to upgrade to wm6 with the 3 files. When I run the first hard-spl program I had problems with the connection with the usb cable. The program aborted after a second or so. Now I am stucked with this colured image with the text
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.07.0000
is there any way for me to correct this. Or do I have to send the phone for repair?
Grateful for all help
/adam
Active sync doesn't get a connection to the 3600 anymore....

Read the second post in this thread, on page one, in the instructions I wrote it tells you THIS IS NORMAL, dont worry about activesync, when doing hard SPL the first time it regularly disconects and hangs the phone with the tri-colour screen, soft reset the phone and re-start the procees (ie run the first file again). That should see you right

spb GPRS monitor

Hi All,
First of all I hope I'm at the right place as this is my first post and I'm new to PDA's worlds. I just bought a HTC Kaiser and tried to install the spb GRPS monitor which was included on the CD. The installation said:
Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
I had 1.82.707.0 WWE ROM and yesterday I upgraded it to 3.28.405.0 WWE. Both the original and the updated ROM cause the same error when I try to install this program. I thought the PDA come from the manufacturer with the original ROM and the shops doing maximum a language install to the current country. It seems they modified something on the ROM? Can I install somehow this legal software (without cracking it and which will not be a trial version software)?
thanks

Seems quite weird. Try going to SPB's site and downloading the latest version from there, and use the registration number you received to register the software.
There is also a program called BatteryStatus, which is freeware (use google to search you'll find it right away), which does sort of the same thing.
I use to use SPB GRPS Monitor, and never ran into this issue.
Where did you get the CD from that has the software anyway? I am pretty sure HTC wouldn't include a 3rd party software on a CD if you got the phone from them, or if it was new in box. The version you have might be really old and you may need to purchase the latest version anway.
Hope that helps.

go to spb software house website and download the update exe/cab file
try it and let us know if it works or no?

apologies i did not read zakhir suggestion we both propose same solution

I got an original new HTC box which included the CD (it seems original HTC as it contains HTC logo copyrights etc... and I think the box original as I got an original HTC varranty card with the device). May be it's an old version and may but I think it will not be a trial SW. I hope as it is a good program But may be not. I can't remember if there is any S/N for the SW and I'm at work atm. I'll check it later.
jahrami:
Thank you for the advice! Actually (in a fast search) I couldn't be fount update for GPRS monitor (as I said I'm at work atm so it was a really fast search). I'll search later again when I will be home. Anyway if I remember correctly somewhere on spb's webpage I read something about upgrade a product (not the GPRS monitor) and the upgrader should it purchase again. (?) Not sure... I'll chack this option later so I just wanted to do some reaction for your post
Thank again the advices!
best regards!
