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

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.

Hello to all,
Can it someone explain to me in steps how I can install WM6 on my HTC3600?
Currently is on Germany language, but I would like to switch it on English.
Thanks a lot on your help.

1) decide which rom you want (I used LVSW)
2) go to the thread and read 1st post
3) grab the 3 files attached
4) they are zip's, extract each to thier OWN folder.
5) go to each folder IN TURN as listed in the thread and run ROMUtilityUpgrade that is enclosed IN EACH folder.
STOP between each folder / Upload to phone and check your phone
THE VERY first one HardSPL MAY give an error, HOWEVER just run it again, seems ActivSync throw a fit and then the computer has to re-connect, HOWEVER after that off you go.
ALSO use NON-Vista machine

Can you give to me little help with a GPS tomtom 6....?
What I need to download and install?
No worries
What exactly do you want to know about tom tom?
First off I'll assume you are buying the software. In which case you want this
http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=281&Category=2&Lid=1
now you dont have to buy it from them direct, however that is the product you want (it may be cheaoer elsewhere)
If it's already on a memory card.... just pop the card in the slot and it'll do everything for you.
I would HIGHLY recommend making a copy of the card contents to your computer, just use activ synch and explre the device till you get to the storage card then copy and paste the entire contents of the card to somewhere safe.......
Then EITHER push this up to a larger card or carry on with the card you buy.
Install Tom Tom home on your computer, it will then synchronise your maps and voices and stuff BUT more importantly it'll auto update your software for you.
You need to be running 6.03
in this version tom tom can be set to use "built in gps receiver" after that away you go... simple and Deech proof
edit for spelling mistakes
lol.. you are really fast....
can it be anything without buying orginal software or maps ?
It can and if you know where to look I am sure you will find what you seek young Jedi
I arent going to preach but note I did buy this software mainly for updates and technical back up
If you "acquire" the software read any threads / forums from the place where you get it from
Fast cos laid on the couch nursing a size 10 thick head after last night

okay..... i will search... my the force be with me
Again problem,
Im facing with extremly battery drain, after charging standby was just 36 hours, before was around 5-7 days i think.
Is there any solution for this??
Thank you... Mr.Vader
An my young jedi, yes there is....... and if I can get it to work it should be attached to this post.... Also read the MuN RUS Rom thread it has been flagged-up thier with alsorts of solutions including this .cab
Drop it onto your memory card and ermmm run it
I get an corrupted image error when I try and flash the hard-spl?
Anyone know how I can get around this? tried searching for info and the search function just brang up unrelated posts, and theres nothing on the wiki despite it being a common problem.
So please forgive my stupidity, and enlighten me on how to solve this?
I have an M700 with shipped rom installed
Thanks in advance,

after i upgrade to wm6, how hard is it if i want to go back to wm5, how hard is it to downgrade? Do I have to back anything up?
back up contacts etc
back up ringtones etc
grab a rom with WM5 in / on it, and re-re-flash the phone, leave the radio rom as it was mind as it's seperate from the WM section

Ahhh great thanks.
Just what I was after.
As you are using the LVSW like myself you may have an answer to my other question.
Is there a .cab file to fix the awefull sound on WM6 and the trinity?
Media player is so quiet, if I can't fix it, I'm going back a stage to WM5 as I use the MP3 player side of it allot.
Many thanks.
Shaun.
Hi,
i have just loaded wm6 following the instructions here and now i am getting USB device is not recognized.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks
Stephen
are there any issues not completely solved on the available non-official WM6 ROMs for Trinity?
I'd like to upgrade mine, but only if all the initial problems have already been solved.
BTW, my Trinity came with TomTom 6 pre-installed. If I upgrade to WM6, will I have to purchase and install a new copy of the software?
All seems to work fine now, any issues then there will be a .cab file around here somewhere, main ones are ATIfix, when does somthing to make tomtom work nicely, power fix which address' some power useage issues.
The tomtom that come with the handset is a crippled try before you buy version (well it is here in the UK ) So ermmm yes, you would need to buy a full version, but on the plus side it's yours forever and no matter what you do to your phone you can always put it back Unless the tom tom is on your SD card in which case REMOVE the card before you start and re-install when you've finished rom-ing
Failed with upgrade to wm6
Hi all
I just got mine 3600 and tried to upgrade to wm6 with the 3 files. When I run the first hard-spl program I had problems with the connection with the usb cable. The program aborted after a second or so. Now I am stucked with this colured image with the text
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.07.0000
is there any way for me to correct this. Or do I have to send the phone for repair?
Grateful for all help
/adam
Active sync doesn't get a connection to the 3600 anymore....
Read the second post in this thread, on page one, in the instructions I wrote it tells you THIS IS NORMAL, dont worry about activesync, when doing hard SPL the first time it regularly disconects and hangs the phone with the tri-colour screen, soft reset the phone and re-start the procees (ie run the first file again). That should see you right
does anyone know why my imate kjame would give an error or Windows/autoconfig.exe doesnt exist.
i have tried a number or roms but the phone failed to upgrade to wm6. it then reverts back to the wm5 after encounting this error.
i have tried the CID unlock but there is no hope
can anyone please assist me urgently.

Ok I see that you have a G4. Lokiwiz is a waste of your time since you have a G4.
Here is what you need to do:
Because you have a G4, you can't just flash a rom because of the DOC chip.
There are 3 ways I know of to flash a G4.
1. Download shelltools - install enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab and reboot your device. connect with activesync and place the nk.nbf file of the rom of your choice in the shelltools directory and run shelltools and follow the directions in the readme. If you do it correctly, you will end up successfully flashing your device.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
2. Download SoftSPL and place the nk.nbf file of your choice in the RUU folder included and run SoftSPL and it is fully automated. It will call the RUU and your device will be flashed in about 7 minutes.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
3. Use the HardSPL(CID UNLOCK) and unlock your device prior to flashing. This will allow you to just flash roms at your leisure with no problems whatsoever from now on BUT it is still in developement so use at your own risk.

other than that I would recommend the file.
do you have any other recommendations?
have u seen the article that microsoft wants xda dev... to remove all of its roms from the website?

Yes, please.... speed it up for me. if there are any other applications (add ons) that you feel should be added to the nbf file then please add them.

one last thing, i noticed that there is a 3G icon under the comms manager. one of the guys said that we should not have any issues accessing 3G even if the phone didnt come with it. is it possible to use 3G on these phones?

i waited for 15 minutes..
then i disconnected the usb from the phone & since then the phones stuck in the bootloader..
i've used mty
this is where i'm in unknown teritory..
it gives me cmd> prompt
no USB prompt..
any sugestions??
OK first of all I've put this together hastily so forgive me for slight errors, but most of this should be fine.
To flash your P3600i, there are 3 things that should concern you: HardSPL, the Radio, and the ROM.
HardSPL: something that allows you to run unsigned code on your phone (e.g. ROMs), and also provides protection in case it screws up. This is the first thing you do. (This is probably a **** explanation, but functional at least?)
Radio: I guess more like a mini feature set, I know there was something similar when I had a Motorola phone which was called a flex. In this case it's not a whole new operating system, but perhaps easily thought of as small tweaks made to improve the system without necessitating a whole ROM flash. Why have a radio when a ROM could take care of everything? Well the advantage of a radio is that you can flash these without resetting everything. Everything (contacts, etc.) remain intact.
ROM: What you're really after, WM6.1 and the lovely cooked ROMs that should soon be available for flashing. This will wipe everything on your phone, so back your stuff up (contacts, settings, owner info, messages, etc.).
Flashing procedure:
IF YOU HAVE VISTA: You need to update your drivers. Go here for instructions. You can then proceed with the procedure as per normal.
The basic procedure is this. Flash HardSPL first, then update your Radio, then finally, your ROM.
Note: The HardSPL you use is a modified one especially for the P3600i. Get it here.
Note2: Here is a mirror for the latest Radio for the P3600i. From following the guides, you will know when to use it. Get it here. (N.B. Radio link updated to v1.56.70.11 - 2 Aug 2008)
Go to the trinityguides.info guide (link here) and go through the procedure - and yes, I know the link points to page 2 of the guide.
NOTE WHEN FLASHING HARDSPL, IT WON'T WORK THE FIRST TIME - YOU WILL GET AN ERROR (CODE 260) LOLOL. THIS IS EXPECTED.
This is what happens.
You go to flash HardSPL like the guide says. LOOK AT THE SCREEN ON YOUR PHONE, YOU MIGHT HAVE SECURITY PERMISSIONS AND NEED TO MANUALLY ALLOW THE PROGRAMS TO RUN.
It looks like it's about to flash and then errors. BUT your phone is on the 3-colour bootloader screen! How odd. Well KEEP YOUR PHONE ON THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN, and unplug it from your computer. Exit the HardSPL program, RUN IT AGAIN, and FLASH THE PHONE AGAIN WITH HARDSPL (obviously connect your phone and stuff back to your PC).
The point here is this: the first time it will fail, but at least manage to get the bootloader up. With this bootloader up, exit the flashing program, restart it, and then you should be able to run the flashing program and have it complete.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PHONE HAS THE OLIPRO HARDSPL INSTALLED after completion, by soft-resetting (hold the power and camera buttons at the same time AND use the stylus to press the putton at the bottom of the phone. You might not get it the first time, but with practice you'll get the hang of it).
Once you can see 3.20 Olipro (yes, 3.20) on the bootloader screen, you know you have HardSPL on fine, and can proceed to the trinityguides.info instructions on flashing your radio and ROM. ROMs can be found in the P3600i ROM Collection thread, here.
Hopefully this should answer a lot of questions people have
Hihi,
Because I am using Vista PC, can I use PC to flash the hardspl and use SD card to flash OS and radio??
Thank you

Simple answer is no. You should be able to flash Hard SPL from Vista if you follow the Trinitty guides to change the USB drivers to the XP ones.....PLEASE read the TRINITY GUIDES as stated above.
about the vista problem ... take a look: http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=66

Thanks
whatever radio you feel like, jesus, the level of stupidity just gets worse.
of course, if you're totally ****ing incapable of independent thought, we can spoonfeed you some arbitrary radio version.
Thanks for your attitude! I just want to do somethink that work... And my question is not for the fun! I saw in the guide that in the link (to trinityguide) and in the first page its didnt writen that is compatible with p3600i. So i ask before i make damage to my device.
I am working in computer companies for 5 years but its my first time flashing ppc so i want to be sure what to do before that I will make any damage.
And belive me that anyone that will gets some help in the first flash will help in the future to the forum.

OK...you do not have to flash ANY radio if you don't want to.
The Tinity Guide was written well before this device was cracked so it is not up to day with regard to the P3600i.
If you follow the instructions at the top of the page you should be fine.
Chose whatever radio you want to use....then pick one of the ROM's that are known to work and away you go.
I just flashed the MARY 3.7 SL and before I started loading up my customisations my Program memory was 34 meg. Even now after laoding everything I have 22.62 Meg Program memory and 178.88 Sorage memory (and everything is loaded on the device too).
So far all is good on this one.
PS Don't take Olipro's comments to heart....if you read his tag...he abuses everyone....lol

Use the Hard SPL from the link...that is THE only one that works.
Radio 1.46.30 was the standard Radio and I now have 1.50.08.11
Check out the radios etc here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1951469&postcount=3
and choose the one that suits.
woot it works! thanks

great to hear. the rom seems to be fairly stable, and its nice and quick. which for me personally is what i want in a phone
one thing i should mention to people as well running vista to do this is that for every part of flashing the phone, vista may attempt and succeed in "installing device drivers" which in turn means you need to point it to the vista-compatible drivers for it to work (as per the guide) every time to progress to the next part, otherwise a 260 keeps occuring.
Thank you for your wonderful and useful guide!
Thank you!
200% hype abt flashing! Finally!
Hey folks I need a little help
I've downloaded:
- Mary 3.7 Lite, Mary 3.7.1 and PDAVIET 37
- Olipro 130, Olipro 120 and Des Crash Proof
I've tried hard to mix all possibilities like Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7, Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7.1 and etc
After several tries i was kinda desperate since none worked then after testing Mary 3.7.1 and Des Crash Proof, TADA! Worked!
Well, the point here is understanding why I couldnt make the other ROMs work.
Could you please help me understading why?
Also I have another question, when a ROM was bad installed, in these cases above the 0% stats were freeze in the PDA while I had a bad connection problem showing in computer ( error 246 i think ) so the PDA was stuck in the bootloader mode =( And I just could enter my old WM6 by upgrading the radio. Is there another way to do it? I was pretty disappointed upgrading the Radio so many times. LOL

If you have a P3600i then according to the info you have above....you downloaded the WRONG Hard SPL.
Go back to the very first post on this thread and read it carefully. There is a link there to the correct Hard SPL from Olipro...and it isn't 130, 120 or Des Crash Proof.
genipao, it was rather surprise you had picked the wrong hard spl and doing some mix and match and it still work?
All experts,
please render help to me for my CHT9110 (P3600i - IPL-Trin100, SPL-3.03.0000, CPU-Samsung 500Mhz, NAND-256MB) that I flashed successfully with hardSPL 3.10 Oplira. this is working and wonderful SPL with the JumpSPL included. Good job done by Oplira!
However when I tried to upgrade P3600i from WM6.0 to WM6.1, I missed the step to tag 401 from 400 when I re-build New_NBH.file for my phone. At a result, I encounterd WM6.1 ROM flashing incomplete at 80% and forced to reset due to hang-up...
Now, my P3600i still can boot up to flash-screen logo, loading radio image (1.56.70.11) and then protocal services (32.89.7020.20H), then it will hand-up forever on flash screen logo.... (until i did the hard reset, then it will re-boot! terrible now!!)
i suspected it was unable to locate the WM6.1 and loading up accordingly....
I tried out many option, to downgrade SPL 1.1, SPL1.2, SPL 2.1 and used SPLxploit to clear the stack in bootloader... all is falied and my bootloader still shown SPL-3.03.0000 and don't allow to re-flash any ROM under bootloader mode now!!
Experts! please assist me,
How can I roll-back the default OS on phone if any? or there is alternative way to recover OS to flash in for recovery? I think firstly we need to crack SPL-3.03.000 in bootloader mode...
Many thanks!
Hi klemtest,
can you guide me on flashing CHT9110?
I couldnt seems to get it flash even after following the instruction.
Appreciate your help
i just followed Ajajaj Quoted, please allow me to share...
Step 1 - Anyway First of all, load the Hard SPL to your phone from : Set
<Klemtest>
Step 1.1 - go and download Hard-SPL-p3600i-V1.1.zip (810.6 KB, 438 views)
Step 1.2 - extract SPL-p3600i-V1.1.zip file onto your local drive
Step 1.3 - connect P3600i via USB, ensure you are under ACTIVESYNC mode in WindowXP (if you use Windows Vista, the you need Vista driver for detecting HTC phone at USB)
Step 1.4 - execute the ROMupdateutility from SPL-p3600i-v1.1 folder, ensure there is RUU_signed.nbh file available, otherwise the utility will prompt u for read file error.
Step 1.5 - once it executed, follows the instruction given from ROMupdateutility screen, until you see the progress bar show up, meanwhile u will notice that p3600i phone will prompt you for ROM upgrading message, click "Yes" to accept and proceed. Sequence pop-up message will be asked again in p3600i for using JumpSPL.exe to unlock CID,
Again click "Yes" to accept and proceed. ROMUpdateutility will complete 100% and your p3600i display will be turned to SPL-3.10 Oplira in bootloader mode now (if the ROMupdateUtility indicated there is update error, just ignore it and exit utility screen)
don't switch off your p3600i, let it continue showing SPL-3.10 Oplira in bootloader display.
Dude! you're now ready for step2 to flashing your favor WM6.0 / WM6.1 once you manage the "nbh" file which I didn't done it properly!!
So, I assumed you have downloaded the working ROM and extract them in local folder as stated in Step-2
Step 2 - So, what I did was to download RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite extract into its own folder (Mary seems to work as well)
Due to p3600i is manufactured with 256 NAND, memory address for storing "OS.nb" slightly difference compared to p3600 (CHT9100) with 128 MB RAM.
Hence, ajajaj advice to use ROMBaker.exe to exract "XX_OS.nb" your favor OS ROM (usually named as RUU_signed.nbh) that you downloaded and re-build it using NBHGEN.exe.
All this stuff is available here Custom RUU tools
In this case, 2 screens captured below showing u how to distingish it
(for wrong re-build of OS.nb at 400)
C:> NBHGEN.exe new_nbh.txt
TRIN100
SuperCID
Klemtest
XDADevelopers
100,00_IPL.nb
600,02_MainSplash.nb
601,03_SubSplash.nb
900,04_ExtROM.nb
300,05_GSM.nb
400,06_OS.nb
(for correct re-build of OS.nb at 401)
C:> NBHGEN.exe correct_nbh.txt
TRIN100
SuperCID
Klemtest
XDADevelopers
100,00_IPL.nb
600,02_MainSplash.nb
601,03_SubSplash.nb
900,04_ExtROM.nb
300,05_GSM.nb
401,06_OS.nb
you can follow the step below until step9 if you're not familar of using custom RUU tools:
Step 3 - then download the custom ruu updated from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295113 - also get the rombaker for trinity as found further down in the post.
Step 4 - unzip the custom_ruu stuff, put in the downloaded trinity rombaker to replace extracted rombaker,
Step 4a - Copy ruu_signed.nbh file that is found in folder created in Step 2 to the rombaker/workshop folder created in step 4
Step 5 - then use nbhextract (created in step 4) to extract the ruu_signed.nbh file that is now in the workshop folder
Step 6 - watch the output. (for file names)
Step 7 - Run the rombaker program and load the extracted files into their places (as referred to in step 6), then click generate NBH
It will ask you to save a file. call it new_nbh (or whatever you want) -
Step 8 - open this file (created in step 7) in notepad, and change the number 400 (about 5 lines down) to 401 save and exit
Step 9 - then open a dos/cmd/command.com window (whatever you want to call it), cd to the rombaker/workshop folder and then run the following:
nbhgen new_nbh.txt
NOTE: new_nbh.txt should be the same as the filename created in step 7
copy the generated RUU_signed.nbh file back to the RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite folder.
Your p3600i rom is now ready for flashing
<Klemtest>
Step-10 - after you have managed to get re-build RUU_Signed.nbh file by yourself. you can proceed last stage for completion.
As I mentioned, you continue keep your bootloader screen at SPL-3.10 Oplira just now. launch again RUUupdateutility.exe
Note: At this point, your personal data from the phone will be destroy, please make sure you back-up all data before regret and ensure ActiveSync is disable during execution the flashing.
Screen1 - On the Welcome Screen, click Next to begin the ROM update installation.
Screen2 - On the next screen, follow the listed instructions in the dialog box first. When you are done, click Next to proceed.
Note: Ignore the instructions listed due to you are flashing via bootloader mode, and ActiveSync is disable.
Screen3 - The following message will then be displayed, indicating that the utility is verifying and acquiring information about the device as preparation for the update process. Wait for this verification process to finish.
Screen4 - Below the device information, information about the new ROM update will then be displayed. If you are certain that you want to install the phone with the new ROM update, click Next to proceed.
Screen5 - confirmation message then appears and shows the length of time it will take to copy the necessary files (including radio image) to the device. Click Next to begin the update.
Screen6 - A progress bar will run through the screen during the update process.
Note: In the middle of the update process, the progress bar may stop running. This is normal as the RUU is adjusting itself to complete the update process automatically. (probably will take up 10 minutes)
6. When you see the screen shown CONGRATULATION message! means update is complete. Click Finish to exit the utility. Otherwise, you will have trouble now to troubleshoot per below steps!
GOOD LUCK and happy computing!

actually, depending on your screenshot, your device is exactly ready to flash, you just gotta put it in the cradle ad start flashing it with whatever rom you want. because what you see there is the bootloader:
How to enter into the so-called Bootlader mode on the HTC Blue Angel devices
Note: entering Bootloader mode will result a Hard Reset if you have WM2003SE on your device!
1. Press Power + record (above the volume slider) + softreset at the same time.
2. You should see a white screen with "Serial" text on it and the Bootloader version.
3. Put your device into the cradle
4. Make sure that the charger of your PDA is connected to the cradle.
5. The text should change to "USB" now.
what i want to say is, start flashing following the WIKI Wizard or several step by step guides to be found in the wiki and the forum

hi guys!
my ba also displays this strange message after an unsuccessed update (disconnected before finished). i have tried to install the update once more but it says: error 101: connection error. because i own my ba just since 20 hours, i don't know what to do now. so maybe someone could translate it into newbie-language. one more thing: unfortunately i use vista.
thanks for your help!
tried it once more with the new windows mobile device manager but my pc does not find my ba. vista just plays a sound when i put it on the cradle. i think you are the only ones in the hole www who can help me. need your help!
use maupgradeut_noid for upgrade
both of you read wiki there are solutions to your problems
maupgradeut_noid tells me this:
don't think that it is right.
hi folks!
i have tried it a hundred times with my vista mashine and a couple of times with xp on virtualbox but nothing. 15 minutes ago i have turned on my old xp mashine, downloaded the ROM from tmobile germany and started the application. it worked for me without maupgradeut_noid. only the original rom and nothing else. so my tip: don't waste your time with vista! xp is much better for solving this problem. thanks xp!
ok, but as i see it you didn't solve a problem but avoided it, and not even in the best way. i use vista too and i am unable to re-flash my device. the general problem is that the identifier of the device change over the flashing process, so vista downloads new drivers and cuts the connection. as i understand it, there is hardly any way to avoid that.
of course you do't need to use maupgrade_noid for an original rom, the _noid file is, as implied by the name, to avoide the device from identifying, so you could flash a WWE Rom to a rather locked german device.
as you might have realised, the picture you posted shows the magician and not the blueangel, hence the name Maupgrade instead of Baupgrade, which again is solved by the _noid version of the file and putting the device to bootloader first.
that the window does not show the versions from what version you flash to what version exactlyu doesn't matter at all. but as mentioned before, you should use an xp machine which will work like a charm!
am i to understand, that you have the latest official t-mobile rom on? the wm2003se?
as fast and battery friendly that might be, it is so out-dated and practically no newer third party software will be supported, like the fantastic application SPB Online, and the interface is incredibly ugly. if you ever want to try and flash your device again, try my tips above and it will work out just fine, as you seem to have mixed up a few things, but never mind.
i wish you best luck for trying again and will stand by for support, whether something might still not work out as planned.
good luck
Chef_Tony
well if you upgrade under vista take a look here
also look here for MAUpgradeUT_NOID and proper files - it is on the bottom of the page, so you only need the nbf files
Ok to help the new users on this site iv decided to put toghther a guide on how to liberate > hard spl > flash Rom for your shift.
Step one
liberate your HTC shift
heres some great instructions with a video of the whole process
http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/266537/View-Topic/
at this stage you do not need to go an install IE/Office etc you just need to liberate the device so you can use the USB tools.
step two
make sure USB tools is working run this on your Snapview side and on vista windows mobile device centre should open up and ask you to link your device(no harm i followed through and unticked all boxes.
step 3
follow these instructions on this thread to hard spl your device.
(now at this stage when you are following these instructions make sure on your snapview side that you have disabled your modem and USB tools is running and you have the 2 arrows at the top)
on vista side make sure your device centre has picked up your device. Also do not have any USB devices connected to your shift (as this causes a problem and hangs with a disabled USB message!!!)
follow these instructions---
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406606
Step 4 (almost there)
download a rom of your choice
my current fav is i00's rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480525
extract the rom you should have 2 files in the folder
CustomRUU.exe
RUU_Signed.nbh
if you can only see one file open winrar and then go through win rar to extract -
run the .exe adn thats it.
if it fails ....
on vista bring up comm manager click on advance and reset snapVue
check to see if its restarting and then restart vista
now first go into vista
launch device windows mobile device centre
click on mobile device settings
connection settings
untick allow USB connections
now go into snap view run USB TOOLS
give it a minute
go back into vista
run the rom update......
if you follow this through each stage the steps will make sense to you eg USB tools etc
good luck

Hi all, sorry for my english.
My experience is almost the same. In my opinion the HSPL process is not progressively indicated, but it happens regularly. Moreover, an hard reset follows the precess, thus, at the end, me too found WM in factory default mode. I liberated WM again, but till now i wasn't able to flash another ROM just to check if my Shift has been HardSPL'ed.
After many days without sleeping , i've just made the first call with my shift. Thank you, thank you and thank you.
we are waiting for keyborad solution, it's AZERTY but it shows QWERTY when typing.
Thank for all you did, you do and you'll do for us.
HELP!
I have been searching for possible solutions but cannot find one. Is it possible to Liberate a shift without a working sim card. I left ATT for Sprint years ago, so I do not have an active sim card.
