hi mates. is it possible to upgrade my Xda IIs with Windows mobile 5 or 6.? right now it has 2003.
please help me if its possible. or tell me some site where i will get some step-by-step proceidure.
Regards

I know that there is a WM6 for BA out there for a week, but have not tried out yet. Try search around here in this forum first for the WM5, which is very rich

There is NO WM6 for the XDAIIs (Blue Angel).
There are numerous WM5 ROMS for the BA though.

There is, and I have it as well, dude. Some Vietnamese at handheldvn.com forum are using it and discussing quite a bit on it. Myself have not tried it out, because I have no time for the moment.
(http://www.handheld.com.vn/forum/showthread.php?t=55894)
link for the ROM is here:

I am surprise why it is not announced in this welknown forum?? Is the one at handheldvn a fake one?

Thanx a lot dude. but is that file is in english? i dont think so. and also it will work for my XDA IIS. and also in case of some trouble. should i downgrade to my old rom.? just let me know. i also have the old rom image.

Yes, English
The forum is in Vietnamese, but the ROM is entirely in English. I have seen some screen shots, and they are all English. Have fun, dude. I am waiting for a vacation when I can make change to this one

I doubt it is windows mobile 6, the guy has not shown the version in any of there screeshots and apart from that, one of the screenshot attached here , dats xplodes R5 screenshot

if i remember well...it was said that the new rom is about 64MBs...however you can download from the link mentioned a 34Mb file in which extrom folder contains a 7Mb camera template cab...

I've tried it
I was also quite doubtful there would be an R6 for our BA, but since I'm about to re-install it, I decided to download it and give it a try.
And I confirm that it's still WM5. Some of the icons have changed, but it's still the same old thing with some WM6 icons.
Some details:
OS build: 15706.3.5.2
the default device name = PDAViet. Which is a known ROM "builder" on the UNI Forum.
Need some more testing, but all and all it seems to be working.
So, maybe it's all new, but it may have a few elements you may care for.

It works...
Hey maaan, thanks a lot, this ROM is perfect... I have Upgraded it at about 30 minutes ago, and i'm trying it.... I think it is not WM5 with WM6 icons, because everything is like in WM6....perfect, wifi works (i have tried to find wifi-net, it found it in 2 seconds...), BT too (i have tried only with my USB-BT on PC, and connect it), GUI is beautiful, nice themes.... PERFECT....
only one thing is bad - there isn't any FILE EXPLORER, but you can install total commander with active sync and then you can search your SD card or memory Phone works too (I have 1.15 Radio ROM)
And one thing which i don't like (but i had got same problem with explode ROM too) : Camera has got one white pixel.... so big white dot on the photo but nevermind..... this is super ROM Thank you again buddy...

So, it is right, it is WM5 with really realistic WM6 Interface.... but still perfect ROM

Thanks for the recent posts
Thanks all for the recent posts. I saw quite many positive applause on this version at the Vietnamese forum. Take care!

I knew WM6 doesn't yet exist for BA...
I'll give this one a miss....

yes thanks a lot. i also upgraded my O2 XDA IIS and its working perfect. great Rom . one little question. when i display my syatem info. its showing 96 MB ram instead of 127 Mb. and also. its not displaying any Extrom version.
i wrote all my info below.. so give me some info about this.
but overall the rom version is perfect thanks a lot.
ROM VERSION 5.35.05.WWE
ROM DATE 05/08/07
RADIO VERSION 1.12.00
PROTOCOL VERSION 1337.42
EXTROM VERSION

Thanks, xplode, I'll keep an eye for you in case you got stuck with Vietnamese

also for great WM6 theme you all can use the brand new Wisbar Advance 3 Beta2 it has Wm6 theme builtin

Explode please, can you upload it? Or is it possible to find it on the web?

when i was using 2003 on my O2 XDA IIS. i perform hard reset by pressing the top power button and the reset button. and now i have upgraded to wm2005 and again i am doing this. but it wont work. its only soft resetting. so anyone know how to perform hard reset. so i will get my registry setting to defaults. cause i made many mess in the registry for tweaking

working STK for WM6 pls

can someone pls post a WORKING STK that works under WM6. badly need it, this is the one feature that WM2003 has that WM5 or WM6 seems to lack. so if anyone managed to find an STK program that works. pls upload.

yup me too.. i need it badly..

anyone who had read this thread? help pls..

use search>STK and find that there are already several threads discussing it. There is no working WM6 STK (yet?)

yup, did search already, but all are under WM5 thread headings and etc. im just making this an easy to use and search thread under WM6, so if there will be one, it will be easy to find.

We try our best to get the STK working but no luck! Sorry man!

thats what i said to them...that U and I were working on it.

Sorry man, I've been busy with my hobby, riding bmx (flatland). Sometimes I'm playing WarCraft III (DotA). Don't worry man, I visit our site but very often. I am also searching other sites that have a pocket pc forum. Maybe they have solution to our problem, and share to others.
Take care man! Merry Christmas!

hmm..well take care..and merry christmas to u tooo

re: stk
hey der can you try this sim tool kit i copy from another xda device in my country? can you guys give feedback here.. just paste it on windows folder and copy shortcut to programs. ill be waiting for your feedbacks, hope this work for us..

It's working!!
on my qtek2020 with helmi wm6 tofclock
thanks sakurasyaoran
theBisk

thank GOD...are u sure its working fine just as it did in Wm2003

it is not working....

i tested an O2 ZINC
and found that STK was working on that device. it was running WM5 and as per my deduced reasoning, there is no engneering design difference between XDA 2 and ZINC with regards to simcard holder and software for the simcard.
i also found some file differences between my XDA 2 running WM6 and the ZINC running WM5, i tried to download some files like stkui, sim...something, and other dll and such files from the ZINC unit (it was not mine) but activesync could not copy the files.
i know that those files can help me make the STK run in XDA 2 WM 6. if someone can post files from ZINC, thats probably will start with stk or sim please do upload all files, and i will test running them on XDA 2. please, thanks.

for those who have other devices running WM6 or WM5, please post some files from your WINDOWS folder, some of those or a combination of those will make the STK work for WM6 on O2 XDA.
by the way, the posted STK.ZIP will run the STK menu but only on the first menu level, it will not activate the next level menus.
thanks.

@paulpax..use resco explorer to copy the files somewhere on ur card..thn transfer them to ur pc bya card reader....

yup i agree with you bro! but until nw i dont knw y does simtoolkit doesnt work on xda2 wm6. guys out there pls post your stk running on wm6 here, attach file here.. this wud be a great help.. thanks. happy new year to all!

me and nesty tried alot..but only got the first menu to work...lets try even harder..Happy new year to all

successfully managed to ZIP files from O2 ZINC to try to copy the STK files from the ZINC and copy to the XDA 2.
with VERY FUNNY RESULTS, look at the attached JPEG file of my screen copy of the ZIP file that i got from the ZINC.
look at the encircled RED, the SIMSEC.DLL, SIMTKIT.DLL, SIMTKUI*.MUI, are all ZERO BYTES because ROM based files CANNOT be copied or overwritten in any device.
I think, and this is per deductive reasoning, these exact same files which we should change, however, these files cannot be copied from another device to another device....because it is ROM based. so if someone can copy these files, pls do and upload.

post this in anryl ROM thread.. or else look out for some other which has those stuff in it....

You can easily google this site. Someone would have posted the Cabs ..
Or if your ROM has the Device Update, you can use it too to download.

Garmin had one in his collection! Or use search link in my sign to find the cab. There is a lot of them floating here in this forum!

Latest official AT&T ROM

Anybody extracted all the cabs already?
Especially interested in the Manila version and all the AT&T add-ons.
Thx

wait. you actually want the att bloatware?
also, the tf3d stuff is only slightly optimized, if you're running any of the manilas out there that are updated recently, it should perform better.. especially if you actually use wm6.5

Yes, the bloatware incl. Manila to rewrite/update my Fuze setup guide.
I admit that I'm a little bit reluctant to flash my phoen back to the latest ATT since I kinda depend on it for the next two weeks and cannot run the risk to wreck it at this time.

i c... I can provide you the set up file, but I have no knowledge of how to extract it. If you are interested, send me a PM and i'll see if i can upload the link for you.
EDIT: the official update is actually really good. especially the radio. my gps fix is very very fast, and my battery life is great.. even with push..

I can download the EXE from HTC/AT&T myself but would need to install to copy all cab files under the Windows directory.
If anybody has all the cabs which reside after an install (better a de-böoated install) would be great.
The success with the GPS and good lock is simply related to the Radio bundled with the new ROM which is/was available at XDA for some time. Sure, for a branded ROM it was finally time to fix these issues.

yeah, i did mention that the radio was why the gps is so much better. I'm just a sucker for going around flashing new radios... It got to be so much of a hassle keeping track of them that I gave up..
anyways, sorry I can't help you there in terms of the cabs since I'm very uncomfortable with doing stuff like that since I'm paranoid about my phone numbers and notes tagging along..
but I can say with confidence that the new update is really good and you should not be worried about flashing the new rom at all. The only thing is that I see you are using energyrom so i understand that you don't want to flash back and forth.

Can you take a look in your Windows dir and name me the CAB files there?
Most common none is deleted after install so that list could be helpful already.
NRG ROM ... well ... it ROCKS.
I'm not such a fan of 6.5 yet thus running the older NRG 2.0 without ANY problems.

sure! that I CAN do.. here's the list (btw, my rom is unbloated so i might have all of the cabs..)

that's about all I see.. I might have some typos in the numbers but hopefully they should be all correct. Good luck and if you need anything else, just holler.

Cool mate! ... and this is from the latest AT&T ROM upgrade?
Would you mind to copy all the cabs to your PC and zip them in one humongous file? Check PM

i can do that provided that it isn't locked in by the OS. I'll do it later when I come back.

Thanks, check your PM (Private Messages).

Sorry to interrupt, but here you go:
http://rapidshare.com/files/249085596/CABs_from_New_AT_T_ROM.zip
Manila is not installed from CAB, so I created a CAB for it.

Thanks NATF.
Just one Q, what does then the PT_MANILA.CAB do?
Chefs like you never disturb!

Actually, you don't need that CAB. It is installed during Initial Configuration, and it adds the registry entries that start TF3D on boot. However, I added the required entries to my TF3D CAB.

Hey NATF....what happened to the OzIM cab? I was curious about this thread because I wanted to know if there were a new version of the cab for the instant messaging package as well....or did you just leave it out because the version didn't change in the new ROM perhaps?

[Q] Questions re: BuildOS, WM6.5 stock files etc,...

Hi!!
*i've spent hours browsing the web and xda searching for answers*
okay, here's the story, I used to have a HTC Titan / 6800 a couple of years ago. When i had it i learned all about flashing etc. Made a few OS's even posted one on here and amassed a 15gb collection of all things PPC ;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650368
I sold that pocket PC. bad decision as i really liked messing around with them. So here i am a few years later, i've bought myself a Tytn II /Kaiser.
Before when i made the OS for the other one i used BuildOS from PPCKitchen
I used the kitchen files included after updating, also the NZ carrier that was available in PPCK and i had a nifty file repository i found which got updated with the very latest Windows Mobile builds and i would just import those files into PPCK (If PPCK didn't have that build).
Alas,... I can't find PPCKitchen anymore... from what i read they were updating their servers a few years ago.. but am not sure if they'll be back..
*If you can let me know whether they're still around that would be great, i keep getting DNS error when going to their page*
So far i've SPL unlocked the TYTN II using Hardspl.
I've also downloaded another cooking app called OS Kitchen Zero - Nice appy.
But i have no idea where to find the windows files to import into it. I don't want to edit my original windows mobile 6.1 on it, I'd rather install a fresh copy of windows mobile 6.5 .
And i don't want to edit someone elses rom, Just pretty much start off how i did before with a blank slate (fresh WM6.5 files - god i cant even remember the file extension) so to speak - this way any bugs i know are a result of me.
I'm not sure what will happen to my original carrier with this program also as i'd still like it to work with the New Zealand networks.
Anywayyy.. to SUM it up;
If you can help with the following questions i'd be very grateful;
1. Where's PPCKitchen / BuildOS gone? will they be back? Is there any place i can download the app in the meantime?
2. Where can i find Stock Titan windows mobile 6.5 Kitchen files? (The same that were needed for buildos - that it got from the updater)
3. Radio is not the same as carrier right ?.. or is it? I vaguely remember them being separate... Should i just flash a NZ radio to the device .. or do i need to choose NZ as the carrier also?
4. Is there a program like PPCkitchen that is inclusive of the WM builds and carriers avail?
5. CID/SIM unlock - do i need it? as i've already SPL unlocked.
And anything else that you think i might need help with.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Reaper

UPDATE : Amongst my PPC files i found the BuildOS Installer. Unfortunately without a server to contact there are no builds or app packages so cannot build a rom. I'm not fussed about the packages at present just need some build files if anyone knows where to get them. Thanks

Thanks!
All of the links were broken on the main page, but managed to do a nifty google search and found Joshs file stash at - http://dl.ardiansyah.web.id/pub/index.php?dir=HTC/Kaiser/ROM/Joshroms/kitchen/
Tried integrating files into PPCKitchen but the build wasn't coming up.
Flashed to WM6.5 21820 from there, All working fine, sim included.
I read a lot of that post too, good info, am going to start cooking without PPCKitchen now. Seems like a lot more things i can play around with.
Cheers, legendary.
