Help!!!!
I am following the instructions for the upgrade to WM2005 from this location: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade however I am at this stage
When you are done, remove your device from the cradle.
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.
I can not get the 3 options to come up on the screen and I'm just left with the device showing the coloured stripes.
Can anyone give anymore advise??
My device data is as follows prior to update PH20B 0 BENG G T-MOB005 1.06.00 0 0 1.06.160 1.10.00 10.00
hoping for good news

Decided to go back!!
Hi
Decided it would be best to go back to old version.
Ran the Official MDA update which changed the radio, ex rom and rom back
However on hard reset none of the extended rom is loaded. Ran the extended rom unlocker. I can see cabs in the extended rom but am unable to copy any of them, if i click on unlock i get the following error.
ERROR:
FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Is this because I did this in the attempted upgrade to 2005?
Setup the Storage size to get a full 60MB and not 43 MB
* Copy Repart_DOC.exe from the "Preparation\DOC repartitioning tool" folder to your device and launch it.
* Set size of Extended ROM to 128 kb
I set it to 128 as suggested, do i need to run this again but change the value???
Any help would be great
Thanks
Most extended roms are 16mb+, so I recommend instead of 128kb, i put it to 16000kb ;-) = 16mb or known as like 15.58mb
If you reset, press AND HOLD the camera and record button, then you will get the 3 options.
you can navigate through them with the record (down) and camera (select) buttons. if your done you can press mail, to "save".
Sorted
Thanks everyone for the advise.
I could not get the 3 options no matter how hard I tried. I then reflashed with the origional T-Mobile rom radio and extend rom.
I just could go without WM2005 so i tried again, flashed and hey presto the options appeared!!!.
The only thing I can think of and that should be added to the tutorial is to reboot after installing ActiveSync V4 as this was on the only difference, flashed 3 times with WM2005 before reboot and no joy yet after PC reboot all worked first time!
Just some feedback
Mark
I Recentley Tried To Upgrade To The Latest ROM So I Went To The O2 UK Website And Downloaded Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242.exe, About Half Way Through The Upgrade My Computer Froze And I Had To Re-Start It.

Is There Anything I Can Do Or Is It Terminal?

are you upgrading from the same provider with the previous rom? meaning from O2 to O2 not O2 to imate roms or other roms..............
try mtty method, you may have screwed a lil your device
1. Download mtty from the attachment
2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Shift + Escape) kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. put your device into the cradle
4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001 (or just USB in port) and press OK
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted
7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot
8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
After this procedure reflash

HOWTO: Reinstall existing ROM without touching Extended ROM or Upgrading/Downgrading
The following methods allow you to get rid of all user data on the device (except for memory recognised by the resident system as being storage cards).
>>> METHOD A -> Device Only (recommended, faster)
1) Use two fingers to simultaneously press the RECORD and CAMERA buttons of the phone (on the phone's left side). Whilst these two buttons are depressed, use the stylus to click the soft-reset button underneath the phone - keep the two buttons depressed until the boot loader screen appears.
2) This should enable three options on the boot screen. These options allows a YES/NO response. Use the RECORD and CAMERA buttons to navigate between the options, and switch the YES/NO values. Set the following:
1] Enable KITL: NO (this is a debug tracing option which isn't required, except possibly for developers)
2] Format Registry Hive: YES (clears the registry)
3] Format Storage: YES (formats the internal memory: "\" directory, and under "\RamDisk\". Items under any storage card "\Storage Card\" are not formatted).
3) Once these options are set, press the MAIL button (in between today and the Pocket IE button) to confirm these options, and continue with the Registry and Storage format.
4) The device performs the reset, and the Windows CE setup screens (ie. screen alignment etc.) appear. Continue as per a new install.
>>> METHOD B -> Mtty
1) Kill activesync processes: Ctrl+Shift+Esc in Windows to bring up Task Manager. Kill wcescomm.exe and WCESMgr.exe (by selecting the task on the processes tab, and clicking the End Process button below)
2) Phone needs to be POWER + Record + Pen Reset and on Serial/USB screen. COnnect it to the PC, and it should show USB, with the backlight remaining off.
3a) Run mtty1.42.exe. (or the attached mtty application)
b) Select USB from first list (where COM1 is displayed. Don't press USB button). If USB (or a list item containing USB) isn't in the list, then you have't connected to the PC properly.
(Leave default parameters: 8 bits / Flow Control NONE / Stop bits 1 / Parity None / Local Echo No)
c) Click OK
3) Run following commands:
[press enter first to get USB> prompt]
USB>
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
USB>set 14 0
HTCST ÚÈHTCEUSB>
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted

I have the same problem with my O2 XDA IIs, this is how I resolved the problem.
1- Take the battery out
2- Put Battery on while holding onto Power Button and Record
3- Now the PC shoud recognise a Windows CE USB
Now you can updategrade or downgrade.

After step 4. mtty alerts with "USB port cant open". What now?
On your phone, when connected, ensure that at the top of the screen, it says "USB", not "Serial". Also ensure you've killed the ActiveSync processes properly.
Also consider:-
* Are you able to use ActiveSync to sync when not following this process?
* Does USB appear in mtty as a connection option?

Done all that... And still "USB port cant open" - I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate... So Might this be a problem for "Mtty"?

I am trying your plan B I got the mitty up but I am unable to type into the screen
Good morning friends...
I'm from Brazil - Sao Paulo.
I did the download of the updatingfor WM6 straightly of the site of the Palm Australia (version for operator Telstra 1.15 ROW), for a treo 750 version 1.15 ROW of the operator Claro. It was doing the updating and for my unhappiness, it finished the energy. When it returned, the appliance does not go out from that fabric of bootload. I looked for informations in several forums, and found the information of which there was an executable one to continue the updating in the directorate TEMP. I continued with the updating, and came ending it. However, now the appliance does not go out from the fabric of presentation (it arranges with it soon of the Palm). I tried to find some informations in respect, and even I finished appealing, and even I formatted the Palm (Power Reset). I tried to install again, I continue them to myself with the same problem. I checked that there are some updates in which there is possibility to effectuate through the SD itself, which the ActiveSync does not recognize any more the appliance. It recognizes the Windows like ' HTC USB SYNC '.
If possivel, it would like some help, if vcs know any alternative form. Opposite case, I will have to get a beating up to the technical back-up, and it does not enter in the guarantee.
Excuse if there are some mistakes, but it does time that I do not talk in English
From now I thank.
Phew, I managed to decide. I followed these steps what I found in the Internet and it gave right:
1. Using winrar descompacte Updater_anything_anything.exe
2. Find there the archive CHEEIMG_FW.nbh (it has +- 83MB).
3. Format his card for FAT32 (using Windows and reader of card for ex). There is certified what is FAT32, not FAT (16). (obs I formatted mine using the proprio palm with the resco explorer himself).
4. Copy CHEEIMG_FW.nbh for the formatted card.
5. Re-nominate CHEEIMG_FW.nbh for CHEEIMG.nbh
6. put his card in the Treo. Connect the porter in the Treo.
7. Pressing buttons PPT/Media (below the volume) hold tight reset with the stylus.
8. There must appear the fabric of the bootloader (it reddens green blue).
9. If vc did the previous steps correctly he must ask if you want flashar the ROM.
10. Press the red button (power) to confirm.
11. Assist the bar of progress while the Treo is flashado (15 minutes??)
12. After the upgrade, do a hard-reset (reset holding the button power, then arrow 'up' to confirm).
Since it was not letting to pass the archive for SD through the Palm, and tbem have not a card reader, I used a Nokia 6265 that had here, and he gives the option of drive was recognized like pen. I formatted the SD and followed these steps.
Phew, I thought that my Treo had died, thanks guys...

Do not put your XDA into the cradle yet....
1. Download USBAS file and extract to Desktop
2. Right click on My Computer.
3. Select Device Manager.
4. There should be one with Windows Mobile or something like that.
5. Update driver and slect USBAS file you extracted.
6. when completed insert device.
There you go
It isn't listed in Device Manager unless it is in the cradle.
I got it all sorted .
Glad to hear it....
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...u-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/ That's where I got the fix from .
You should start this as a new post
Don't suppose you want to help me find a WM6.1 ROM and help me install it, or point me to some instructions. Any that
I have found have had lots of download lonks and loads of other stuff I'm not sure about, the one that's on atm was just a siple double click and next job.

Hi,
this has the link with the walk through
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
This has the ROMS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403421
Install the ROM then the ExtROM
Thank You.
Here is the guide
Temporary Remove your SD Card (it may work for you with the SD card still in your BA, but better to be sure)
Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button
Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle.
Now you can upgrade the ROM using BaUpgradeUt.exe / MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset
Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button. Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, EITHER:
Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
OR press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66:
Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right EITHER
OR press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, use "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66, use "Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.
Note: The "Record" button moves up and down the menu and the "Camera" button toggles Yes/No. When you're done, press the button in the middle of the D-Pad to continue booting.
Press the "Mail" button. A white screen will show for 30 seconds, while it is clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...
(if removed earlier) Put back your SD Card before you do the setup. This way the installation from the SD will continue after you have done the setup
Your upgraded ROM is now running!
During the first boot the CAB-files from "EXTROM" folder will be installed

I don't know if I toasted my XDA
I have an XDA IIs. The biggest problem I think that I made was to use Windows Mobile center since I am using a Windows Vista OS.
I was about to install the windows 6.1 from pinoytopdownloads when suddenly, it stopped and continuosly displayed Serial......version 2.07.
Did I toast my ROM or did it just become blank because Windows Mobile Center disconnects once the phone started changing it's OS?
I have not tried checking if activesync 3.7 on a Windows XP application can still recognize the O2 Xda IIs in that state.
If anyone can guide me or give help regarding this, I will greatly appreciate it. thanks.
try using XP with active sync 4.5 and start the process from the top, hard reset first your BA and put it in bootloader mode...that should work
Upgrading Blue Angel using Vista (without Mail Button)
Hy everyone,
Yesterday I had a bit of a struggle trying to upgrade my SPV M2000 (aka Blue Angel) but in the end it worked.
As you guys are having some trouble too, I'm going to post the way I did it and hope that it works for you as well..
Note I: This steps worked for me but there is no guarantee that they will do so for you too and everything you try is at your own risk. However I am sure, you are all aware of this and really hope that this is going to help you.
Note II: My Laptop runs Vista Business, my BA WM2003 non-SE. I modified the installation process as the mail button on my BA is not working anymore, preventing me from following the normal instructions found in the wiki.
First of all (Prerequisites):
- Ensure Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) is installed and updated to the most recent version. The latest version is 6.1 which worked fine for me.
- Get the drivers for the BA, to be found in the wiki
- Get MTTY 1.4.2, attached to this post
- Get the ROM you want to install, I used Sun Dream's WM6.1 which can be found in the wiki as well
Now, to the task:
To begin with we can follow the instructions given in the wiki for ugrading to wm6 using vista, so I'll just copy&paste those steps from there:
4. Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button.
5. Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle USB. (Now you can see "USB" at the top of your display and numbers (2.06 or 2.07 at the bottom) You may need to remove SD/MMC (memory) card
6. Now navigate into the WMDC (Start -> All Programs -> Windows Mobile Device Center)
* Click on the "connection settings" menu icon
* In the connection settings menu uncheck "allow USB connections" then press OK.
* Now exit the WMDC and return to the desktop
7. Go into the start menu and type "Services", this will take you into the local services dialogue and show a list of all services either running or registered with your pc.
* Scroll down the list and make sure these services are present:
* Windows Mobile-based connectivity
* Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity
* If these services are not started then double click each one and set them to Automatic start by clicking the "startup-type" drop-down menu and selecting automatic then click the start button in the same window, apply the setting by pressing OK.
* Return back to the desktop again
8. Go into the start menu and type "Device Manager" then run, this will take you into the device manager.
* Click the "+" symbol next to "Mobile Devices" and double click on "HTC USB Sync". (Note: In my case this was labelled "Microsoft USB Sync")
* This will bring up the properties of the currently connected device.
* Go to the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver".
* Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".
* Select "Let me pick from a list...."
* Click the "Have Disk" button.
* Click "Browse" and navigate to the AS_DRIVERS folder we created earlier.
* Now select your file

Next Steps, different from those described in the wiki:
9. Go to the task manager and kill the wmdc.exe process
10. Run MTTY; select the USB option from the dropdown list
- There is also a USB button but the instructions I found said NOT to use it, so I did not test it
- Apparently, the option could also be called something like WCEUSBSH001, but always has to contain USB. In my case it just said USB
- If you do not get a USB option something is not connected correctly, ie it will not work with the stock drivers Vista uses

Next Steps:
11. Take the phone off the cradle. I am not absloutely sure anymore, but I think it still was in bootloader mode at that point. If that is the case just soft reset the device.
- When the device has rebooted it will ask you whether to flash some settings (can't remember which..) about 3 times. Just answer no to all of them.
12. Restart WMDC and re-allow USB connections (under connection settings)
13. Reconnect your device to the cradle and start Active Sync on the Blue Angel
- Make sure your device is shown as "connected" in WMDC
14. Start the ROM installation.
Note: Using "BaUpgradeUT.exe" resulted in a Device ID error. In this case you have to use a version which does not check the ID codes. I used the version attached to this post
15. When the installation is finished, the dialogue on the computer says to cold boot (hard reset) the device.
- If your mail button is not working, just soft reset the device (what I did)
- If your mail button is working you may attempt this. (Please report back!)
I have not yet gotten through really testing the device and I never had a WM6.1 device before, thus no basis for comparison. From the first impressions the soft-reset at the end did not cause any problems and everything seems to be working fine.
16. You're done
Whew, this has gotten rather long. If this instructions work for you, please let me know!
As there seem to be several BAs out there where the mail button doesn't work this might be a useful addition to the wiki.
However, I will not post it there without some feedback whether it works for others as well..
(I hope there aren't to many mistakes in the text; I am not a native speaker)
Final Note:
This is not my work, all the steps described above were found on this forum and on the wiki pages. I just did the job of combining them in a way that worked for me.
My biggest thanks to:

- sp3dev
- all the people who contributed to the wiki pages

Yes. If you feel more comfortable on a specific ROM it is always ok to downgrade or upgrade.
Upgrade XDA IIs to WM6.5
My XDA IIs just froze when resetted earlier and it was running on WM6.1 so I started to wonder if it had totally died. As I mainly leave it in the car and use it for satnav I was considering now buying a tomtom.
Then thought if its dead trying to revive it cant hurt so I found the following link (http://pinoytopdownloads.blogspot.com) to download a zipped file claiming to be WM6.5.
Opened the file and did a hard reset on devicethen sync with PC. Ran the programe which looked farmiliar from previous updates I had used so thought it might work. Half hour later, my XDA IIs came back to life running WM6.5 and none of my data such as text and contacts were lost at all.
It lives again.
Waiting for the HTC Touch Pro2 to see if it lives up to its hype and then can use my PDA as a phone again too cos lets face it... the XDA IIs is a bit of a lump now!

Nice to hear that your BA is kicking again

Billy B:
I just bought an 02 XDA IIs. I love it but the bluetooth doesn't work with my Motorola S9 stereo headset unless it's 6 inches from my head. Does your XDA IIs work with stereo bluetooth? Have you tried it with WM6.1? I'd like to know.
Upgrading to WM6.1, Etc.
For all you upgrading Blue Angels to WM6 and high, you need to read the Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel. Read Blue Angel for beginners and also the upgrading to WM5 and WM6. You'll learn that you can free up some memory being used for the Extended ROM among other things.
I am new here, and this is my first rom flash. I have an O2 XDA lls that was given to me by a friend on WM2003. On XP, following the instructions on the wiki, I have tried with several roms. The flash seems to work, but then as soon as I reset the phone I am back in WM2003. Instead of a striped boot screen, I simply see an O2 logo, and when using the key combinations, I get no debug options.
Anyone have any ideas?
well did you flash a proper rom or maybe just a radio rom, meaning just an upgrade on wireless tech, because that process would "feel" like flashing a rom but actually doesn't change the OS
I don't really know. But I used the roms on this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4
if that helps. I also used one off the helmi_c to check it wasn't a dodgy rom. DO you have any specific one to recommend? When I downloaded and unziped the rar, I simply ran the upgrade file within which started a wizard which said it would upgrade my pda. Strangely, the wizard did not display any information about the pda on the screen which tells you the rom info. Is it possible that it is not being detected? Do I need to install some extra drivers on XP?
it is perfectly normal that this upgrade tool does not show all the information like an official upgrade would, first of all, that is because these are cooked roms, meaning you only upgrade the OS, not the protocol, radio and extrom. that would be baked roms. but anyway, also, that the device's current information is not fully shown or not shown at all is normal, as you are probably using the MAupgradeut_noID.exe in contrast to the original BAupgradeut.exe, just by the first two letters (and the giant picture in the wizard) you can tell that this upgrade tool is actually for the magician, but works best for BA.
for recommendation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482997
the R6.1 release on that site is the newest real release, meaning you can get full further support, the download links work...
Don't get fooled by the R6.1, we are still talking about wm6.5, it is just the xplode release number.
P.S. no extra drivers needed, just use the wiki wizard word by word and it will work
The same thing happens again. Using the ROM upgrade file, it all seemed to work, and then when I attempt to do a hard reset, I get no stripes, just an O2 logo, and no boot options. I am then returned to Wm2003. Maybe I will try on another computer.
it's nice, but there is some application lost.
i've upgrade my xda 2s to WM6 cooked by HELMI, i download from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista and look powerfull, its nice, but there is some application lost that i need. there is'nt auto config and xBackup...some one can help me to get that application??....thank's.....
