Anybody pleeeeeease heeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!!!!
Thanx

Please give us more information.
What windows are you running? XP or Vista?
Do you have an error number?

I run windows Vista and the error number i get is 101 Connection error when i attempt to run BaUpgradeUT
on the PDA the only screen i fet is the bootloader screen with SERIAL and V.2.06

Ok, the problem in flashing our precious BA under vista is that you need to replace the usb driver with an old version so the updater will work correctly.
Search the forums for vista update or vista flash and you will get the answer and the driver you need.

thanks a lot i ll try it right now been waiting for this

OK i just searched for vista flash and found this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001&highlight=vista+flash

And one more thing i have to thank Duanes who posted up the vista upgrading manual linked above Thank you

Which WM6 has phone support ?

Hi,
I have the SPV M1000 (Himalaya), and phone used to work, then died. Texting worked, but phone didn't. So i used the Orange supported software, but it downgraded it to Win Mobile 2003. Although the phone did work, i prefer WM6 for the rotate screen feature etc.
Anyway, i downloaded a few WM6 roms, but of the 3 i tried, none of them allowed me to use the phone bit of the M1000.
Which WM6 rom should i download to get the phone working okay with my Himalaya ?
I tried C_ShekharAKU7.0c.R40.P24_public, also himalaya_6_1_0_0 file, but i cannot get the phone to work.
Regards,
Andy

I would suggest that either something is wrong with the phone section, or someone has made a mistake when upgrading the radio section of the phone.
The radio upgrade is a seperate upgrade to the ROM. All Windows Mobile roms should have phone support automatically, it is just a matter of getting the right radio working for you.
I am at work and as such I can not provide you any more detail, needlesss to say, use the search function in the top right hand corner of this website, and search in the Himalaya section for radio upgrade.
Cheers

Cheers Jadel, will give that a go now !

Hello,
I'm now getting a strange error ! - i downloaded "C_ShekharWM6.1.1cR16.P32_public", but when i try to install i get a "country code" error ! - "ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR N-4-1-N-N".
What does this mean ?
Regards,
Andy

Use HimalayaUpgrade_NoID instead...........!

If you go to the Himalaya Upgrading section, you would have noticed this is the third link from the top "Fix and prevent ROM Upgrading/Downgrading Country ID Errors"
Here is the link, read it all and don't skip ahead, Rom upgrades can brick a device if not done properly.

Many thanks, i'll try that !

Just tried the "himalaya 6_1_0_0" upgrade. Installed okay. But when on main desktop screen i'm getting errors, couldn't open these files : "Screenrotate.exe", "btdwake.exe" and "Phoneservice.exe".
Other than that it works !
Help please.

Bricked Wizard

sorry if this post seems to be a repeat , but i tried the search option and the results were not fruitful
a friend of mine , while trying to upgrade to a TNT ROM , didn't HardSPLed the device first , and successfully changed the ROM of the device , now it is stuck on the blue screen with SPL and IPL versions , and no response . for some reason , the device can go to bootloader mode , but it can not be reflashed , and it does not respond to a hard reset command.
please advise on what to do
regards

When it is in the bootloader mode, and connected via USB, is there a little USB icon in the bottom left? If so, simply flash your phones carrier ROM and all should be fine with it again. You can then apply HardSPL and flash to the TNT or any other ROM that you want to. Is your device a G3 or G4 by the way? What are the numbers after IPL and SPL?

well my friend says that the USB icon is visible there , and the device was indeed a G4. the thing is , what exactly should he do , in order to flash the ROM , since non of imate roms work for it. should he use any special software?
i'll greatly appreciate your help

Is he using Vista or XP?

he is using Windows XP , could it be the PC OS that caused interference?

Well, only if it is Vista does it really matter. He needs to get ahold of an original carrier ROM, such as the O2, or T-Mobile one and flash it to his phone, then HardSPL it, then upgrade to 6 or 6.1.

Download and flash Wizard_love Rom,it might do the trick,then HardSPL and upgrade to any wm6 or 6.1 rom.
What exact error it gives while flashing imate official rom ?

well the wizard has been an imate ,and it was flashed with an Original imate ROM already , but no success , any other suggestions?
thanks again

Problem upgrading to wm6 - wm6.1

I have a blu angel device but i can' t upgrade to wm6 - wm6.1 , i followed the tutorial and i tried the rom linked and other different roms but the problem is the same : i read the error message "this rom is not designed for your device"
I have a xda IIs Starmap Mobile Alliance and the rom version is 1.40.04 ita.
anyone has some idea?

i hear you, i had the same problem, all the roms said either it was "for another device" or i got a country id error. in my experience, there are two things you gotta do to avoid those errors:
1. Use BaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead of BaUpgradeUt.exe (the noID version ignores the country id and stuff)
2. before reflashing, make sure to put your device in bootloader mode, following these steps: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_BootloaderMode
and just to avoid a common mistake i also stepped in, don't try flashing your device on windows vista, mine got stuck in bootloader, because vista seemed to download a "newer driver" while flashing and i had a connection error, already thought, i bricked it somehow.
good luck with that, and don't hesitate to ask if you need further help

Done ! The problem was bootloader mode. First time i though my device was in bootloader but probibly it was not...

After browsing the forum couldn't make it work..HELP

Hi,
I am trying to downgrade my Pda2k from WM6.1 to WM2003 but after running the "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" I don't get the current version not even the version that I am switching to.
I removed the cradle, before doing so ended the process of "wcesscom" and "rapigmngr", and put my device on bootloader mode. The I plugged it back and "USB" appeared on the screen and below is "v2.07". Still it does not work.
I am using the correct "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" and also the right "nk.nbf".
I have downgraded before but I don't know why its not working now.

hi and welcome to the forum. the only real problem is, that the version is not showing up on the 2nd screen of the RUU. the version that is currently on the device is not necessary.
that can have so many reasons, first you should try to follow the instructions in my tutorial word by word and if that does not help, post the log of the upgrader, maybe the CRC of the rom is not correct. that seems to happen a lot lately.

It could be that the nbf doesn't like the RUU. Why don't you try flashing to a stock rom?

This is the log that I got from "C:\DOCUME~1\Home\LOCALS~1/Temp/WCESLog.log" file of my windows

It worked!
How?
In the wiki its said to also kill the "rapimgr" but if you kill that it will not work so only kill "wcescomm.exe" and "WCESmgr.exe".
Then I tried to upgrade it to 6.5.3 but again found the same problem, here is how to overcome that one too.
Its mentioned in the post of "Chef_Tony" to disable the USB connection but after doing so it didn't work cuz I got error from windows that "USB device couldn't be recognized" so I think because of this the rom version while upgrading didn't appear. However, again from ActiveSync I enabled the USB connection and it worked.
Thanks Chef_Tony and egzthunder1.

actually, for an upgrade from wm6.1 to wm6.5.3, a downgrade to wm2003 would not have been necessary. you'd only ever have to upgrade again, if your storage capacity is 43mb instead of 60mb. you can up- or downgrade between different cooked roms directly.
but since you made it work, it's ok, just as a time saver for next time

Thanks for the tip!

While I am glad it worked out, the solution doesn't make much sense...
meh...
