eehm?? http://wiki.xda-developers.com read it whole, there are pictures of phones.
Come on ady you can make it!
kk attempt 2
so far i have downloaded Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_3.5_v.1.4
which wen extracted has 5 folders
i moved the nbf file from Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3.5_v.1.4 to PH20B1
andon my phone i ran GetDeviceData, this gave me the results
PH20B 0 BWWE E O2___001 1.31.00 0 0 1.31.139 1.06.00 06.00
using this data i then ran setoperator in cmd, and typed
SetOperator 02001 .
i am now at this stage and unsure how to carry on!
i am sorry if it has been discussed before, but i really dont want to brick my device as it was a bday n xmas pressie and dnt have the money to buy another

(thankyou for your patience it is much appreciated)
Why are doing something you dont understand, there's no need to hurry.
You should read the wiki once again - and slowly and more carefully!
Why did you move the .nbf to PH20B1 folder?!
Do you know what your device is?
Why did you type "SetOperator 02001"? Where it was written?
i got the information to do that from the readme in the
\Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_3.5_v.1.4\Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3.5_v.1.4 folder
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
WM5 ROM Installation Instructions
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1. Modify the operator in the ROM as needed
Open a command window and execute: SetOperator ????
- Replace ???? with your Operator Information
- i.e.: T-MOB101, or Vodafone, or O2, or ...
To get your Operator information, you will need to use GetDeviceData
Refer to the XDA-Developers Wiki for further information
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GetDeviceData
2. Copy the NK.NBF to folder that match ur device (PH20B/PH20B)
this seems to be inline with what is said on
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted
sorry for bin a bit slow, im used to double clickin on a firmware update!lol
regards
ady
Wrong answer
1. I moved .nbf file to to PH20B1 folder even thought I have PH20B device as can be read in DeviceData.txt given by GetDeviceData. (I moved it there because there are setoperator.bat xda3nbftool.exe but its still wrong folder)
2. I typed 02001 even thought the proper string looks diferrent.
I didnt read the wiki carefully but I am afraid of breaking my device...
sorry i was not trying to sound ungratefull at all by my previous post
on wikipedia what section would it be best for me to read?
the upgrading to wm5 (as i am still on wm2003se), or the introduction threads?
thanks
ady
(is it as simple as copying the NK.NBF into the ph20b folder and double clicking the BaUpgradeUt.exe?)
To be honest you should read everything. Start with introduction threads then focus on FAQ and make sure you understand terms such as EXTROM, Storage, RADIO and so on.
Then you can read some older threads and try to get as much information as possible.
After 1-3hours of reading you will be able to flash device and solve "every" difficulties by your own. Also you have to know problems related to WM5

The primary benefit is that power loss doesn't cause a hard-reset and loss of data. No need for backup software like you have on 2003.
There isn't a lot to the upgrade, however understanding what is going on is key if you don't want to risk damage. WRT the country ID stuff, that info is a bit outdated. There is a "no-id" upgrade exe that ignores it.
In short the steps are:
backup using activesync for contacts etc
make the extrom directory on your SD card
resize storage (if you want, you probably do)
do the upgade
thanks for the help fraser, last question why would i need to resize my memory (by that do you mean the sd card)
i have an empty 512mb, but would like to use it for normal storage after the flash has been successful.
would tht be a problem?
There is no real need to resize it, it's just convienient. I used to always install most apps to the phone and only larger ones like games go on the SD-card. That way i can change the SD-card (e.g. for music) and most of my apps are still available. However, I do have a 2gig card myself and I find myself rarely taking it out these days.
cheers, so i can skip stage 3
thanks again
i read through wikipedia and as i understand all i have to do is copy the folder "EXTROM" to \Storage Card\EXTROM
go into boot mode and then run from the pc "Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_3.5_v.1.4\PH20B\MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe"
and then soft reset after flash
is that correct?
thanks again
ady
i would need some help how can i upgrade with my sd mini card if some one could help i could get my qtek working again and that would just be the best thnk right now so plz if there is some one help me
You need to get someone with same G3/G4 of Wizard to dump his/her Wizard ROM to the card using mtty.
ok and how i dump it can u help me or give me a site where i can read how to do it i know that the only way is reading but if you can give me a site than you are the man/woman :d
i am using qtek 9100 g3 if some one could find my the file or give me a place or a link where i could/can find it i would be sooo happy my phone is dead i can use it and i realy miss it so please
sry for the mistakes on the last post i am waisted
What you need is a MiniSD of at least 128MB (NOTE - All existing data inside will be wiped), the mtty program, and 2 CID-unlocked Wizard (One is your wizard, other is the wizard that dump ROM, both MUST be CID-unlocked first).
mtty can be downloaded at http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9864
To dump the ROM, first kill the wcescomm.exe process on your PC or disable USB connection in ActiveSync.
Then restart the healthy wizard in BootLoader mode (Camera+reset), run mtty.exe and select \\.\WCEUSBSH001 as port.
After connected, enter "r2sd all", then ALL ROMS (IPL, SPL, Radio, OS) will be dumped to the card (If you only want OS, you may issue "r2sd os" instead).
After the USB> prompt returns, the operation complete. Put the card in your Wizard and reboot it, then it will have a prompt telling you to press a key for SD recovery, follow the instruction then it should be fine.
tnx my man your the best now i need a second wizard tnx
Search for OS dump for installing from sd-card
He man,
I have the same problem. After trying to get a dutch WM6 in my Wizard I ended up with a white HTC screen with the IPL/ SPL radio and OS (prophet 3.0xxxx) listed.
Don't know what happened: i was only surfing while loading the new OS!
So could somebody post his ROM (dump) so we can load from SD-card?
Thanx in advance!!

Its not possible to post any 'dump' rom or upload it,you can only make a dump or back up your previous rom on to a miniSD card or sdcard to reflash it to your phone.Read and try to understand the method already described in the above post by starkwong
Cheers!
Read and understand
I did read and thought I understood.
So when you dump the Rom of a wizard on the (or a) sd-card you end up with files on this card isn it?
So I thought if I can use the dump of a second Wizard somebody could do this and post me those files. I would copy these to my sd-card (via explorer in a other device).
Then I was planning to stick this sd-card into my bricked Wizard.
It is the same procedure as Thankwong described, with the difference that i am copying the files to my sd-card.
If this will not work I do not undertsand why not...

Thats what not possible,its not possible to dump the rom on a sdcard and then post the file from a sdcard.only this is possible if you have a friend with a similar phone and he makes a dump of his rom on the sdcard and you insert it in your phone to back up that dump rom on your phone,ok
solved the problem.
Hi all,
I've got a great tip from a specialist! Here's what I did:
step 1: load the battery to the max.
step 2: Put the Wizard in Bootload ( pressing power and camera button, hold camera for at least 3 sec. until you have a 3-colour screen)
step 3: connect Wiwzard to pc with usb cable
step 4: Use Draven187's ROM (in my case the 3.12.2.0)
step 5: Chose Vista Rom update (though I have XP)
step 6: Follow instructions.
step 7: HAVE FUN
It worked in my case!
So despite you cannot connect to your phone the Vista update tool can connect and update the rom.
I'm no specialist so I'm not sure it helps in all cases...
ALL CREDITS TO: DRAVEN187!
nope still error 260
this aint working for me
Guys, i need some help. Recently i came across the rom update for my xda iis, so i decide to take it out of my drawer and see if i can update it with HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_Public. I followed all the steps and try to upgrade it, after i click on HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_.exe, my xda iis restart on cradle and after that nothing happen. I notice it only appear on the top with the word "serial" and the bottom "v2.06". I have tried in vain to get it working again, please try to help as im very new to this. Im using window Vista.
since apparently, you are not that experienced in flashing your device, i would recommend you use windows xp to flash your device.
then you have a look at this wiki wizard:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1_WM2003SE0
this is a step by step instruction on how to upgrade from wm2003 to wm6.
please follow it precisely, even if you don't see a point in certain steps, they are all important!!!
if you, however, don't understand a step or a phrase, feel free to re-post, and i will explain it to you in more detail.
have fun with the upgrading, one word of advise: take your time, the first upgrade with storage resize radio upgrade, sim unlock and other stuff can last an hour or two (not the upgrade itself, but the process you go through). when you remember the steps and feel like you want a different rom, after testing this one, all you have to do is donload a "nk.nbf" file and flash it, and the entire update takes you 5 minutes then
Hi Chef_tony, thanks for the reply. I went to the link u gave me and from the 1st step on im stuck. It ask me to download both the unlocker and Repart and place it on the phone, but i cant do anything with the phone except for the "Serial" on top and "V2.06" below, it does change to "usb" when i cradle it. please help. thanks again
ok, then at that point you are stuck in boot loader, that happened to me too.
the reason for that might not be that interesting to you now, but it is because vista in the middle of the flashing process vista thinks it needs new drivers, downloads them and then it disconnects the device, something that shouldn't be done while flashing, as everyone knows.
these wiki links explain how to flash from vista using modified drivers, but i wanna tell you in advance, that i personally never got it running, i always use a windows xp machine:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista_Pic
so, still i want to state that the best way to flash is a xp computer, if you have access to one, use that to flash your original shipped rom first, to resize the storage (first wizard step) afterwards.
theoretically, a virtual machine, running xp would also work, if you still have an xp cd lying around, you can download virtual pc 2007 from microsoft, it is free and you just need a short time to set up a virtual xp machine, because i can guarantee you, you will flash more than one rom, once you started on the topic.
remember, you need to flash your shiped rom, then you want to flash the helmi rom, then maybe a rom update and probably you are not staying with that rom forever, since it is wm6, there is also wm6.1 and wm6.5 to follow that.
what i want to say is:
- try the flashing with vista option described in the wiki links above
- if that doesn't work, try to get to an xp computer and follow the steps
- flash your original shipped rom first
- then the wiki wizard steps in again
Problem is solve, thank you so much chef_tony. my next question is...where can i get wm6.1 rom as all the link i had is dead
according to another user, this thread's links are still working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403421
but it does not contain office. (you can still try other office download links, if you need it)
just by the tiny size of the extrom i would say there is hardly anything contained, but anyway, that is a rom i used too, and it is quite nice, also look up IOLITE stuff in this forum for extra apps.
make sure to repost if everything went to plan
I found a working wm6.1 pro on another website and its working great! It contain office as well. Thing now is i didnt adjust the memory and i didnt have enough space to install every software that i had
This is the link http://www.4shared.com/file/66810499/8a61be24/HTC-BA5220758WWE_v302_25M_PP-16M_RAMdisk_a.html?s=1
By the way chef_tony, you happen to have any idea how to open up BA, cause i would love to clean it up on the inside.
1. the thing is, the storage resize is important for 2 reasons:
- sure, with the resize you woulld have 16mb more storage memory for installing programs and storing stuff
- you still have your original extrom on the device, which is not compatible with newer roms, meaning, instead of simply copying the extrom to an sd card to have a basic setup and installing programs you need to install cabs manually
which is why i said to follow the steps precisely, now you have 16mb of space you simply can't access from wm6 at all, and for a resize you'd have to go back to wm2003 first but give your rom a try first, maybe it is not the perfect one for you after all, then you still have the opportunity to re-flash.
2. i am glad you found a valid link, many people post their roms to hosters that take it down after a while, expecially when there are no more downloads of that item, and so, many links posted here half a year ago are not working anymore, which is sad, since there are still a lot of people, including you, that would like to go to wm5, wm6 or wm6.1 and not just the newest wm6.5 builds, but, whatever, you found your rom and hopefully kept the files stored on your pc for future reflashing...
3. there are two basic disassembling guides for the BA:
- the official service manual (also good for repairs, since they explain each step):
http://www.4pda-service.ru/netcat_f.../BLUE ANGEL/HTC_Blue_Angel_Service_manual.pdf
- the manual made by a forum user:
http://www.land-of-kain.de/ppc/mda3/disassembly/
i am glad it all worked out for you so far and you will realize that this old device has a lot of potential, when you keep it up to date (and clean ).
Thanks you so much for the help. I'll try to update if the link is dead someday, by the way..i have 43mb storage and 84mb programme, is that good or bad?
the program memory is normal, but the storage should be 16 mb more, so instead of 43.XX you would have 60.30mb.
that is the extrom resize mentioned before.
- you need to flash your original rom for that
- then copy the "xda-developers unlocker" and the "repart_doc.exe" to your device. (attached below)
- you install the extrom unlocker
- then you go to start menu and extrom unlocker
- you execute "unhide"
- then unlock
- then start the repart_doc and set the size to 128kb
then you can lock the extrom and hide it again.
maybe in that process there is a soft reset required, i don't remember.
the reason why you do all that is because the extrom memory is hidden and locked and contains a bunch of cabs, that install automatically, when you hard reset the device.
so after that, you can reflash your wm6 rom, and you'll see, that after you resized and formatted that space, your memory dialogue will show 60.30mb of storage memory (plus it gives you the opportunity to install wm6 extroms from the sd card).
Hi I upgraded my 9090 to WB 6.5 from Xplode latest release. I’m really happy with this and everything works fine.
In this phone the memory is only 43.2 Mb, (I have another one, broken but it has 60Mb.) and the upgrade take almost all of this.
My question is what files can I delete to have more space?
Is it possible to install the OS on a memory card?
I’m really happy with this release so I hope there is a solution.
Regard
Ola A
you should downgrade to wm2003 first and repart your storage space, so that the device also has 60mb, also, the rom takes up 32mb in the rom storage, even if there was a rom with nearly nothing inside, just the operating system itself, it would still take up 32mb, because that is the rom size. and it must be in the rom space, there is no way to install it somewhere else.
so, what you can do to gain those extra 16mb, to need to flash wm2003 and then do exactly, what i wrote here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4706441&postcount=2
in the end, flash wm6.5 back and following that guide, it will run smoothly and fast and you will have slightly more space. still, you will never have more than 60mb of internal storage, unless you pick a rom with a ramdisk, which can offer you yet another 16mb in another partition.
I’m really pleased for the solution...
Please tell me where can I find how I go back to wm2003?
You had in your mind to do the repart for the storage space as in the link you suggest?
Wye can’t I do the repart in WM 6.5?
The download for repart_doc.exe and the second file have download problems, you couldn’t have some down load alternatives...?
How can I install the OS on the Memorycard?
Regard
Ola A
1. for the downgrade to wm2003:
1.a go to firmware.atspace.com/blueangel.html
1.b look for a firmware to match your device, it doesn't matter much, but it should be either an english rom or one in your native language, i guess english would be best though.
1.c Important! Extract the rom, so you have a folder, containing files like nk.nbf, ms_.nbf, baupgradeut.exe and so on. don't just start the exe you downloaded!
1.d download maupgradeut_noid, if the rapidshare download from the link above doesn't work, search the forum for "Chef_Tony Ruu", you will find several mirrors.
1.e download "repart_doc" and "xda-unlocker.cab" also from the link or search the forum, i uploaded it many times
1.f put the maupgrade in the same folder as the nk.nbf and all the other stuff from the wm2003 rom
1.g hard reset your device by pressing reset+power and camera+record, in the menu appearing set
Enable Kitl No
Format Storage Yes
Clear Registry Hive Yes
and confirm with the mail button
1.h after the device started, switch it off and remove the sim card and sd card
1.i put your device into bootloader mode by pressing power+record+reset, the display shows Serial V2.0x, where x is a number from 5 to 7
1.j start MaUpgradeut_noID and flash the device
1.k perform a wm2003 hard reset by pressing power+reset
1.l wait for the extrom to install and the following soft reset
1.m proceed with the manual from the link i gave you.
2.yes, the reparting of the useless extrom partition is, what i had in mind, it slows your device down and is just a collection of useless cab files with carrier customizations like dialer skins and wallpapers, that are installed after a hard reset in wm2003
3. it cannot be done in any os but wm2003, that is what makes this partition so useless, it is just not accessible
4. for downloading those files, if rapidshare doesn't work for you, as suggested in 1. use forum search and look for the file name, together with my name, and you will find several direct download links from the forum.
5. there is absolutely no way, the os can be installed from or to the memory card, in fact, while installing the os, the sd card may not even be inside the device, it can lead to serious damage of the device. like i explained in my earlier post, the rom does not take away any usable space anyway. you have 60mb of storage space for programs and files and 32mb rom space for the rom. if your rom is 20mb, then it is still filling up your 32mb of rom space and your storage will still be 60mb. if you have a rom with a lot of stuff inside, that is really taking up 32mb, you still have 32mb rom and 60mb storage.
that is why it is even better to take a big rom with lots of programs inside, because that way you really save space... since you don't need to install those programs in your storage space.
with best regards
Chef_Tony
A big thank you for your support. I’m now going to try this out.
--------------------------
Three hour later.
Yes, now is everything done. Some hard to find WM2003 file but at last... (They who were in your link weren’t there anymore.)
Now the memory is big and clean. All my apps installed...
A happy new year

Hi,
I have read lots of post from install XDAndroid to HTC touch Diamond and how to configure Gen.Y Dual boot.
I try it lots of tips but can´t run my XDAndroid with Gen.Y dualboot.
Can anyone help me with a simple tutorial How can correct this issue.
I have change the AndroidBootFolder and the others hive´s but.. it´s the same sh**.
Perphaps, Anyone knows any stable XDAndroid for my mobile (WM6.1) (without unzip to 4GB and run from there) firmware to flash the ROM

Hi, i'm actually running it with thaidai it works better for me, but you need to format your sdcard to make 4 partitions, look here. Anyway i'v try succefully version 7.0, 7.1 and 06.
Just install in the internal memory (not in device) and if you dont have your xdandroid on the root of the internal memory just edit the registry keys, the keys path is [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT] and are described here
good luck!
