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.
Tom
After succesful upgrading to WM2005, I tried to install the 2 arabic files extracted from EXT ROM (which I think are responsible for Arabizing) "Default_AACERT_arabizer.CAB" and "Default_ACERT2_arabizer.CAB". After installation and softresetting, the device acts wierdly, and.... There is NO Possible Way to get it running again without getting into "Bootloader Mode". Did any one manage to do that? and I couldn't get into the xetended ROM of WM2005....did any one succeed?
you cannot use any existing localization packs on WM5
well it workedfor me on himalaya

Dear friends,
I tried my self also...but all in vein....that was 1st reason to downgrade to Win2003 SE...
I wrote an email to imaginet one month ago, they replied " we are trying hard to upgrade and soon you will have an upgrade"...I don’t know what it means by soon...months or years???????????....since they never upgrade after 2003... :twisted: :evil:
i will attach 2 options for arabizing... people managed to get them working... i didnt know however (still new at these things) so if are able to enable any of them please tell me how
file 2 (updated arabizer ripped from jasjar) i even tried installing the first then updating with this...
i tried everything
i cant seem to get it to work, while others have and are not willing to show me the way
i cant upload it cause its too big even after partitioning
so i will try from a different place cause i cant use ftp here

Can you explain what is "nothing"? I did it my self last night and it worked. The only drawback is there is no Arabic keyboard. However, they clain that if install that dictionary..it works. I'll have to try it.
Arabizing is possible with wm5 and blue angel
I can arabize my xda iis with the following programs in wm5 (maimach patched rom) if you use the standard rom it locks the blue angel...you must extract this paste the nb file to ph20b if you have xda iis, if u have a siemens it is the other folder..reflash the rom:
imaginet Dictionary working
Imaginet reader working
Arabizer 1.3 working and stable
sidenote:
imaginet handwriting reader working well in 2003se. Works in 2005 however when the mobile goes into standby mode if unused say for 5 minutes pressing the power button will not open the blacklight, only a reset resolves this. In the end this is the only one i have not got working yet.
Finally, make backups every step of way with a program like sunnysoft 3.3 or above, unlike sprite this is compatable with wm5.
Dear friends, I am still trying to install properly arabizer on wm05.
I couldn’t install Arabic –English dictionary and prayer timings.
If you install above mentioned files without AR-Eng dictionary, Arabic key board will not install, but if you get file from following link, named “United Arabic Cab.rar, its worked fine for me and I was able to get Arabic key board without installing ar-eng dictionary. hoping it will be helpfull for you.

Yes, you can always install apps manually.
then poo no need in wipeing my settings out i dont really think i need these apps neways but if i did where could i dl them or is there a way to extract them out of the .exe?
After installing this ROM, I can no longer flash to other ROMs. During the ROM flash wizard, and after the phone does the initla reboot to the multicolor screen, the update fails and the installer immediately goes to recovery mode.
Has anyhone else seen this, and is there a fix?

I would try downgrading to the stock T-Mobile 1.08 ROM and then you should be able to upgrade to whatever ROM you want. If you can't even downgrade I'm not sure what you can do.
mskovrinskie, I've tried to Update my ROM, I managed without problems so I guess it's your phone or software causing the problems.
I used the original Qtek 2.17 update.
I personally think this ROM rocks. Ran the Cingular Connection cab from the shipped ROM and not much else. SmartsKey and Omap were already installed along with the other neat things Vilem referenced.
Seems very fast and stable but then again all I run is MS Voice and Adobe Reader as even the newest ClearView is too lacking for my needs. And most cool is that the big button dialer skins seem to work without the wierd graphics, etc I experienced with previous versions.
Just my two cents ...

Ive been goin gthrough the forums and i saw that many of u could not no sucessfully run Hima DOC tool..i suggest u guyz that
1. Switch to WM2003 (for a while)
2.Run Hima DOC tool
3.Switch back to WM6
I am telling this from personal experience..as this tool was made when there was no WM6 for our Himas (barely WM5)
What you are saying is puzzling to me. What do you mean by go back to WM2003 for a while to run the DOCTool, then back to WM6? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Wouldn't flashing the WM6 ROM over the WM2003 repartition the ROM space, so negating the changes done with the DOCTool under WM2003?
By the way the DOCTool is working under WM6 for me perfectly. The only problem is it is giving an error message, about beeing unable to do it's job, but it is doing it anyway.
No it doesnt defeat the purpose..i ve flashed 10 times from 2003 to WM6..(for STK)...and its still the same..I ve run this app widout ANY kind of error
WM2003
Hi,
I've upgrade my ROM to WM5, but unfortunately I just have 14Mb memory.
I wanna upgrade my memory to 30Mb.
Would you give me the WM2003 firts just to increase my memory.
Thx & Rgds.
Jhovie
well, not exactly - Buzz' DOC Tool is designed to run under WM5 only! One cannot predict what it will do to your Hima, when used under PPC2003...
but i have run it in WM2003..and ive had 2 PM regarding the sucess of this tool
@jhovie
u can download WM2003SE roms from here :

I used the tool in WM5 and was able to increase the memory.
Done it also to my wife's XDAII and also successful and no need to go back to PPC2003.
HIMA DOC TOOL -Switch back to 2003 for a while
Switch back to 2003 for a while to install HIMA DOC Tools. I had been trying to install HIMA DOC TOOL for days, on my WM5 HIMALAYA, but with no success. I even tried to install it using WM6. However, storage remained 14 meg, instead of 30 meg. Finally I came across this thread, and actually installed WM2003, and only then HIMA DOC TOOL worked perfectly! then I installed WM5 back, and my storage memory remained 30 megs instead of 14 meg! that's great! thank you all guys!
works fine on wm5
i've tried running hima_DOC after i upgraded from wm2k3 to wm5..
it works fine, i got what i needed (30.53MB)..
after that upgraded again to wm6 and doesn't need to use the hima_DOC again (just use it once on wm5)..
hope it's informative enough
Yes you are right, DOC tool work very well in WM5

No, there is a DOC tool for WM5/6 but it's been around since 2004 in older versions. This is a quote from an older Must-read:
At the moment it MUST be run under WM2003!!!
That means, YOU MUST DOWNGRADE FIRST.
thats what i've been trying to tell here
I work with HIMA DOC tool in WM2003, it was successful to increase the storage memory. And I upgrade my system to WM6. And also successfully. But I try to decrease back the memory storage to 14 MB in WM6 and I am failed
OK, you're right, it's Binary0 partition backup tool, which has to be run under WM5 and above only... Hima DOC Tool should run OK on PPC2003, too
I've never tried to run DOC tool to increase EXTROM size, I did try to find old forum messages about perhaps command line options or so but can't find it.
Is there anyone who actually tried it and can tell selangkahlagi exactly how to do it? Including DOC tool version? Selangkahlagi, you could of course try by sending Buzz lightyear a PM, although I haven't seen him here for quite a while. You can also try to contact him on http:\\buzzdev.net
Maggy thank for your advice
If you find the solution, and I'm pretty sure you will, please report it back both in this thread and in the 30MB Storage sticky. In general I don't like cross-posts, in this case it can help others with the same wish.
update: the doctool download that includes doc_restore can be found at
Sorry, external links to files on buzzdev appear to be forbidden. Try this:

hey guys.
when i try to start the pre installed beejive with my raphael with win mobile 6.5 (EnergyROM 3.0 'Phoenix' (21812)) there is some wired message telling me to download the "netcfv35.messages.de.wm.cab" to get the full error. i have done this. still same ****. havent found anything on inet/xda developers. tried SEVARAL roms/win mobile versions. still no solution. i am wondering if i am the only one.....?!
what i am wondering about is: why does this app tell me to download the DE version(is the code for deutschland - germany). well i am german. but how does the raphael know? i havent installed a german tool. nothing!
maybe some solutions or suggestions!
ty in advance
I dont think beejive works with WM6.5. i had the same prob and had to stop using it. Maybe theres a work around?
EDIT: i was looking for something else and came across a fix for it i tried it out and it works! heres the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421821
have the same error with win mobile 6.1.
also it is pre installed on a 6.5 rom. why should the chef do this if it would not work?!
i tried the same patch few days ago. didnt worked for me. how have you done it?
beejive was pre installed. than i installed the 1. LennySh_SQLCEMobile_3.0.CAB after this the 2. BeeJive_Fix.CAB
still same error..
I had the same issue, and also with TrackMe. The Energy ROM I'm using has .NET 3.7 cooked in. I got BeeJive (and TrackMe) working by installing .NET 3.5 and SQLServerCompact 3.5 core. Once I installed them, both BeeJive and TrackMe worked without any problems.

I have just installed the latest version of windows 6.5 energy rom and can no longer get pockettwit to work get the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab error. Installed the cab but still dont get the complete error msg. So is the problem because the rom has .NET 3.7 cooked and not .NET3.5? If so is the solution the same as you have above? and if so where i do i find .NET 3.5 an SQLServer...
and install them?
Love the new energy ROM so much quicker etc - though does eat the power
These are the cabs I used to install .NET 3.5 and SQLCE on the 2009/6/13 Energy ROM (standard). I simply installed .NET, then SQLCE, then soft reset. BeeJive (and TrackMe) worked fine after the soft reset. I did not do anything else - both the cabs installed fine.
The forum won't let me attach the .NET cab... The filename is "NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab". I'm sure that I found it somewhere here at XDA, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
nope.
I installed .NET, then SQLCE, did NOT work. (using energy rom 3.0)
maybe someone is going to need this:
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab

Strange. It has worked for me 3 times in the last 10 days (trying various software, not liking it, hard reset).
The only thing I can think of is that my sashimi autoconfig installs the SQLCE cab. After sashimi has finished, and I've done some manual tweaking, I soft reset, install .NET 3.5 & SQLCE, soft reset, then everything just works. It is possible that there is a soft reset between .NET and SQLCE - I'm not entirely sure, but its worth a try.
Thanks for linking the .NET cab. For what it's worth, the version I install is 2.58 MB (2,707,308 bytes). Is it possible that yours is different?
I hope you find a way to get it working.
this file got exactly 2,707,308 bytes, too.
well. now i am going to deinstall beejive SQLC an .NET. then install SQLC (softreset) .NET (softreset) beejive (softreset).......nope. still not working. damn it.
just realized that msn is working. maybe my icq contact list is too big? going to try an other account..
edit
icq with 5 contacts working fine. WTF!?
this post is really old. but now i found out whats the problem:

NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab
If you are having trouble making the error messages to work with NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab you might want to try to remove \Windows\System.SR.dll (backup, of course) and then installing the messages cab.
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab and others...
im doing a forum search to try to find out what these netCFv..etc files are for but havent really figured it out. there are a few different ones out there, dont even know which I would need.
Ive also had programs tell me to install these net files before, but Im hesitant to start searching out and installing things I dont understand.
Im using stock rom (havent updated yet) for T Mobile USA HD2, with Cookies installed.
Any love for a noob?
