Cooking my own ROM - Off-topic

Hi, I am Software Developer and I got recently an old Medion MDPPC 200, Model MD 40600, with the processor "ARM" Intel-XScale PXA 255, 400 MHz, running Windows Mobile 2003.
I would like to know how :
1) ...can I extract (read) and backup the entire ROM (OS only).
2) ...can I restore this ROM, if something goes wrong with the upgrade.
3) ...update the OS to WM6 or WM6.1
I could see the bootloader at the boot startup. It is a blue screen with the title "Upgrade Tool Medion V1.1" and menu options. Here are the instructions to get in this screen:
1) Remove your PDA from the Craddle, backup your data and switch it off.
2) Use the hard-reset combination buttons (or switch off the battery button in the back of your device) and hold the buttons Directional Pad (dPad) + Power button.
3) Release the hard-reset combination buttons (or switch on the battery button in the back of your device). After 2 seconds, release the other buttons.
I just need some help in order to make a little more with my PDA.
Is there TOOLS to accomplish this objective?
Thanks !
Best regards,
Jocafi Brazil

HELP!!! VERY URGENT!!! MY SCREEN FREEZED ON BOOT COLOURS

Hi
I am really desperated
I have upgraded my PDA2K to wm5 and was working ok until today that freezed on the bootable colour screen.
What should I do? Please help me
NO WORRIES at xda-developers
All you need to do is go to the (Boot options) Just reset the device, as soon as it starts quickly press Record and Camera button together before the version appears at the bottom. Use the record button to scroll up and down and camera for switching it to YES or NO. Leave the top one (Enable KITL = No) and the rest of two i-e (Clean Registry Hive) and (Format Storage) change both to YES. Then press Mail button. You will see a white screen, wait for a while, you will see a start up screen for the fresh setup  If the problem still exist then put into Boot Loader (Record + Power and Reset) the device will show you Serial and USB when it is docked with the cradle. First install the W 5 again, hope this will work, if all this doesn’t works, Downgrade it to 2003 SE, Only by installing the correct ROM (available here at XDA-Developers that is without EXT ROM) cause other shipped ROMs won’t work that are provided by vendors. This will work for sure. Later you can upgrade it again with W5. And yes if you want to stick with 2003 se, just unhide the Ext Rom and simply update it with you shipped ROM provided by your device vendor. Good Luck
I'M STILL IN TROUBLE - PLEASE URGENT HELP
Thanks for your kwik reply.
I have tried all that you have porposed but still nothing.
I have tried "Just reset the device, as soon as it starts quickly press Record and Camera button together before the version appears at the bottom. Use the record button to scroll up and down and camera for switching it to YES or NO. Leave the top one (Enable KITL = No) and the rest of two i-e (Clean Registry Hive) and (Format Storage) change both to YES. Then press Mail button. You will see a white screen, wait for a while, you will see a start up screen for the fresh setup" but stucks on the white screen.
I have tried to downgrade following the intructions but when should recognise the ROM comes completely in blank.
Please help.
More info please
Finally I was able to downgrade it. Will leave it like it is. Thanks for your help.
But now I have another problem. is crashing all the time, what can i do?
Prefer (HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Wizard with 1.5 Radio)
:wink: no problem dear, just upgrade it again to W 5 Prefer (HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Wizard with 1.5 Radio) and this time make sure you stop all these services. rapimgr.exe, outlook.exe, winword.exe, wcescomm.exe, wcesmgr.exe.
(Right click on taskbar -> Task Manager. End the mentioned processes) Do Not Install Resco File Explorer cause it hangs!
Hope this time you will be more prepared to face these kind of problems.
And if you really want to stick with 2003 se, format your device with 60 kb and unhide the Ext Rom, when you see the extended Rom in (Settings -> system -> Memory -> Storage Card), then just reinstall your The Original Shipped Rom (2003 SE) that can be downloaded from the carrier.
ROM version: 5.03.02 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.15.00
Protocol version: 1337.45
ExtROM: 1.1.9.106
Where can I download that from?
thanks for the reply
Where can i download the HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Wizard with 1.5 Radio from?
good decision
Use the current avaialbe Wizard ROM, later upgrade Radio available at http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_remository/func,fileinfo/id,225/. Just run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in Bootloader mode.

Please Help me to downgrade to WM2003

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

Decided to go for windows pocket 2005

Thanks John
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:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista_Pic
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.

But what I don't understand is if my phone is already unlocked and unbranded why I have to go through this step?
Just download ftp://xda:[email protected]/Cheetah/Unlocker/CheetahUnlocker.rar at first.
After you have ran step 1 and you spl is updated (you can check it by pressing the lowest left side button and reset button at the same time, lowest line should say something like 1.4 .olinex).
When you have succesfully done that boot your phone again and move the 6.5 rom image to your phones sd-card. I use this one with app pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541417 and you can read about my experiences with it from the last page of that thread.
After copying the file (should be named CHEEIMG.nbh) to your sd-card just run the step 1 in the cheetahunlocker.exe program and your phone should boot and start to install the rom you chose.
I also needed to update radio in order to get 3g/hsdpa work here in Finland...
Hope this helps and sorry about my bad English
Can not get to 3rd step ("Press and hold "Shift" and "2" on your keyboard and click the title bar of CheetahUnlocker. This will unlock all 3 options. Click the 3rd option "Flash Normal Radio".) This does not unlock all 3 buttons it repeats step 2, My phone asks to install software I accept, but it goes to boot loader mode which disconnects from my computer. What to do?

It's Shift + @ key if you're on a UK standard keyboard - bare in mind the US keyboard layout swaps " and @ around
Im on US standard. Detroit, MI
shift 2
click box at bottom and keep trying the shift 2. It eventually works. keep clicking all over the application screen. it seems the box at the bottom was my solution. I ended up with a radio that was slower on internet browsing. I had to flash another radio.

trinity freezes? HELP!

yesterday i installed the rom of one of the above threads (win 6.5.28052) but everytime i boot up my device (when it is installed) it crashes.. constantly the same screen and i cant do anything?
i wanted to flash it to another win 6.5 rom. but i cant even turn on active sync on my phone
can anyone help me?
and fast. because i cant call and sms..
oh and: sorry for bad english
One post below is an exploit that seems to work without activesync, You could try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5336477&postcount=379
If I`m right it should connect again after You have a new SPL onboard. Relatively new here myself...
Another method would be to flash directly from an old SD card (not a new micro with adapter).
Edit : Maybe I misunderstood "turn on active sync on my phone" : Are You trying to flash when in bootloader mode (tricolor screen) ?
i was not flashing my phone in tricolor screen. but i did saw that screen when i installed the new rom?
but how do i come in the bootloader?
EDIT: can u please explain me in steps how i have to do this? (i am not so smart in those things..)
and how do u flash with a SD card?
another EDIT: i came a little bit further. no i see the commanager screen and disabled everything, then i tryed to turn on active sync. but then it freezes I WANT TO USE MY PHONE AGAIN!
Where did you find 28052 for trinity?.
Bootloader mode push on+camera botton+soft reset.
it was an older version.. typed it wrong. it was 28014..
but do u have a clue how i can fix this?
EDIT: now if i unlock my device. i get the windows screen when it boots up and does nothing.. so i cant do even less..
Ths to Supersport:
My recommendation for Flashing is:
Make sure you have Hard SPL on your Phone. I recommend Olipro 1.20 - Click Here for More Info
Be sure your battery is at least 50% full.
Start your phone in Tri Color Screen mode. Steps below
--Unplug your phone from USB
--Hold down the Power & Camera Buttons
--While still holding them down, press the Reset Button using the Stylus
--Release the Reset Button, but continue to hold the Power/Camera buttons until you see the Tri Color Screen
--Plug in the USB cable (if asked about installing a driver, do this), You should see USB in the White Box)
Now you can Flash.

that tricolor screen says:
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.20.Olipro
so the spl version is good?
what to do next?
EDIT: what happens when i reset everything to factory standard?
ok. i did the steps u gave and i am flashing now..
now see what it does..
ow and btw.
how u can do dual boot on this phone? maybe i want android on it if it is possible
where can i find a good version of windows mobile 6.5? becuase the version i have now i dont like.. but the other version i tried was wrong?
Glad You found some help, I currently only have internet access at work...
What a good ROM is depends on Your liking. If You want a clean 6.5 base to install stuff Yourself and have lots of free RAM for bigger apps, check the second post of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551424
The one my phone came with was also from xda-devs but couldn`t run iGO (nav software) because there was too little free RAM, too much preinstalled stuff running like Manila eyecandy...
So if You want a ROM with fancy today screens and other preinstalled stuff You`ll have to take a look around here, otherwise check the one above, many ppl recommend it.
Happy flashing
@flyby.
i dont like the standard skins of windows mobile 6.5 but i like the start menu and the file explorer thing,
and i used SPB Mobile before and i like that!
but what is the lightest version of windows mobile 6.5 here on xda? without that fancy touchflo etc, only the good start menu in the top and a good file explorer were u can scroll with u finger?

Are you trying to flash Android from window rom? if yes, you can find full guide infomation from another forum:
Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development, i learned flashing my android from there.
For android you need to get a proper kernel which usually better follow what the chef use in his cook build(Rom). This will avoid lot of problems after flash into your phone. Good luck!
gabytf , i have the kernel and android in my PDA in this moment!
But i have bad colors a i can't change panel type in kernel , because i can't flash my device
