Humbled apologies (1st post and Hi BTW) coz this is probably a repost but with the keywords used I had nearly 900 pages to trawl through. I appear to be a victim of this sites popularity.
I have just been given an SPV M1500 (currently use the M1000) but I cannot get the phone to work.
With Sim in (Orange PAYG) - phone boot info is
R = 20000
G NONE
D 1.11.00 WWE
Identity model number = PH10D
No progs relating to the phone work either - sim manager, phone app, the 'start'/'end' call buttons etc don't do anything when pressed.
Full device Info
Op ver = 3.11.1.167
ROM ver = 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date = 01/27/05
Radio ver = 20000
Protocol ver = NONE
ExtROM ver = 1.11.167 WWE
I have not tried to flash the ROM or upgrade or change anything - it was given to me like this.
Is there any way of getting the phone to work?
Many thanks,
Scott
Well no-one else has replied, so I'll add my thoughts...
On the device information page, I take it there's an IMEI item and value (don't post the number).
I see you have a couple of options, neither of which should screw anything up if done correctly:
Try unlocking - I have an o2 (unlocked) xda2i - PH10C - guess this wouldn't hurt.
Reflash in the absence of being able to do anything else..
I used the Deathnoise ROM with complete success, but the Pietsukkel ROM is a newer one.
Just my thoughts, I'm by no means an expert!
My device info for interest:
ROM ver = 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date = 01/27/05
Radio ver = 1.04.00
Protocol ver = 1337.42
ExtROM ver = 1.11.171 WWE
Kevcal,
Many thanks for the reply.
Can't say I noticed an IMEI number but I think I took the stats without the sim in...
From looking at outher device info, it appears my radio and protocol values are wrong, for some reason.
I've seen a thread about unlocking it so I could try that I suppose.
"I used the Deathnoise ROM with complete success, but the Pietsukkel ROM is a newer one."

Are these used to reflash the unit?
Out of curiosity what does reflashing do?
Would I need to reflash before unlocking or doesn't it matter?
Thanks again,
Scott
Hi Scott,
Mine was unlocked already before I reflashed (bought the unit off a friend for 30 quid), but I don't think it makes any difference..
Well if the sim wasn't in it, then that's why no EMEI number.
Unlocking is probably pointless, I just wondered if something was corrupted and unlocking might help..
Yeah, your radio and protocol versions do look very 'different' to mine
Personally I'd have a go at reflashing - follow the instructions as per relevant threads on this forum as anything like this has a risk attached to it (ie ext power, patience, etc) . As I said, I used the deathnoise rom a fair time ago and it's been fine...

Hello
Have read the wiki and all the information and would like to upgrade however when it states select your original shippers rom, none of them match my details
I think i must have one of the first ones though cause i received my M2000 before all the stock issues occured with orange
Rom Details:
Operator Version: 5.12.1.139
ROM Version: 1.12.22 WWE
ROM Date: 09/27/04
Radio Version: 1.04.00
Protocol Version: 1337.35
ExtROM revsion: 1.12.139 WWE
any help would be appreciated as I really think its an old old release version
Thank You in advance
Welcome to the forum.
Your rom is old and we dont have many if any new Orange roms.
So if you want to upgrade the rom your best choice is the 1.40 and radio 1.10 or 1.12. (you will have to work out which one you need based on what you read here).
How to upgrade is on wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
You might have to think about your Ext rom, unlocking it and saving the Orange related things.
Read the stuff again in the kitchen and here is what you have to work out what you want to save.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_112139
Have fun and yes most of your questions have answeres in wiki.
got an m2000 also. didnt read the instructions before doing a rom upgrade. the first couple of times i thought i had destroyed the phone cos it wouldnt boot up. installed the imate latest update and works like a beauty. latest everything on it.cant see any major differences from old rom that i can notice. apart from different wifi icon (prefer new one) and windows media player 10 (great). as fro expternal rom i also installed the imate one cos the orange was nothing special. dont miss any of the setting from it apart from the gprs which i barely use just latch on to wifi wherever i go. too many unsecure wifi connections in north london anyway
my upgrade to the Imate rom is complete, however i am wondering if i use XBackUp's backup or the backup i made prior to the ROM upgrade using ActiveSync, will actually just revert the roms back to how they were or will it just keep the same info and just restore my missing data??
Thank You for helping
hmm started restore anyway (thought i'd go on an adventure) then read some posts and found its not a good idea.
so my question has now changed to not if i shud restore but how do i save the txt msgs from the fone and put them back once i have reflashed the phone again?
Thank You
Hi - my first post, after lurking and trying to get my head round my new Orange SPV M2000... I'm reasonably tech-competent, but not across the whole baking and cooking thing...
Basically, here's my DeviceData:
PH20B 0 B WWE E ORANG001 1.40.00 0 0 1.40.179 1.06.02 06.02
Which seems to me, apart from the Radio version, more or less up-to-date... But I am wondering whether I ought to upgrade or change anything, and if so, what should I expect to happen? And how to find out what version of the BLuetooth stack I have...
Any layman-friendly advice seriously appreciated - Orange tech support is laughable.
Ta...
You are running 1.40.00 System ROM, which means you have the 3900 build of the BT stack.
Should you upgrade the radio, ok, so ask yourself, does the phone work well now? I submit, that with the 1.06.02 radio you really are not going to see much difference going to 1.13.00, so I won't upgrade.
-Chris
I've one of these phones on Orange and I did upgrade my Radio ROM to 1.13.00 and whilst I've had no problems with normal calls the GPRS has gone a bit haywire - I've dropped back to the original 1.06.02 version which the phone shipped with and that's put things right.
Thanks for helping out with that - reassured...
I dont belive theres a copy of the orange 1.40 rom on the FTP?
is there anychance you could upload a copy to the ftp???
Hi all
I am posting here in the slightest hope that someone can help me out. In a nutshell I have a T-Mobile MDA III PH20B that has ceased working
I have tried hard resets but still have no joy and wondered if someone could help?
First off, on the back of the MDA once the battery is removed it shows;
Model PH20B
IMEI 35303000.......
When it starts up, in the bottom right corner it shows;
NO GSM
D1.06.00 ENG
If I choose START > SETTINGS > DEVICE INFO I see the following on the different tabs;
VERSION
Rom Version: 1.06.00 ENG
Rom Date: 08/05/04
Radio version:
Protocol version:
ExtROM Version: 1.06.117 WWE
IDENTITY
Model No: PH20B
Platform PocketPC
IMEI: (and no number!!!)
Problem is, the phone will not work following me trying to upgrade the ExtRom from the T-Mobile website (http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_3.html). It now keeps bombing out out with an error message saying;
ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR n-n-38-38-38
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the vender Website and download the correct ROM update.
This has never been tampered with, has never been unlocked and is now dead as a dodo. Can anyone please off any advice on how I can get it backup and running? I am lost (no pun intended) without my Bluetooth TomTom and phone.
When it connects to its cradle, my PC can still see it, so I am able to copy files to and from it. Thats about all I can do with it though
frostie
Well it seems like you MDAIII has a corupt system and thus you need to reflash it.
Best option for you is wiki.
Go to the link in my signature and see if you can find a original version that you can flash it with.
The No GMS means that the radio part is corupt.
The 1.06 means that you have a OLD version of the OS as we are now at 1.42.
The fact that you can still copy files just proves that the device can be seem but without a radio it is not much of a phone.
The country code error you can get arond by using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP application.
In all you will find out most of what you need of wiki.
Follow the link for the radio upgrade to solve the NO GSM
Follow the link for the 1.42 for the os
And BTW wellcome to xda-developers (its your first post)
Cheers for the welcome. Yup, first post so had to make sure that I included as much info as I possible could to show that I am atleast trying to help myself :lol:
Thanks for the pointers. I will work my way through them and let you know how I get on.
Very much appreciated.
Backup and running
You want to know what the problem was? I feel ashamed :lol:
When it says Bootloader Mode - I got that far, but then pressed the on/off switch to fire it up again. I didn't realise the upgrade happened when it was a dark screen with just Serial or USB on it.
Shame!
Anyway thanks for your help as its back up and running, and up to date with 1.42 and 1.15 I also thought 'sod it' and have managed to make it SIM free too
Again, many thanks.
Well 3 posts later and you now have 1.42 radio 1.15 and sim free, thats wiki for you.
Now cook your extened rom and get rid of all the operator crap.

well i'm gona try youre rom now...hope i finaly found what i'm looking for
rom update error...it starts to flash but spits out a error?how can i fix that?
You have to be more precise. Rom you asked it made for Polish edition of MDA3 (for Era GSM network; ROM is in english). It won't flash without "a bit of fight" on any other device (because of CID check - for this ROM I think it should be T-MOB009). I don't know which country had T-MOB003, but it wasn't Poland/Era GSM.
Please tell us, what would like to get, we will try to help you.
If you just want to know how to get rid of CID-check problem, read wiki. There is information how to modify ROM file to your hardware CID and also you can find upgrade tool that skips CID check.
t-mob003 is nl..99% sure...
PH20B 0 B ENG G T-MOB003 1.06.00 0 0 1.06.118 1.00.00 00.00
this shuld be mine?!?i tried to remove the cid...nothin hapend
its t-mobile.nl btw but youre ms_ work'ed thou
only missing a radio
Can;t you just use official shipped upgrade for Tmobile NL? it's really new (as for WM2003).
From Wiki: T-Mobile NL; WWE; T-MOB003; 1.42.00; 1.42.119; 1.13.00;
You have even the best (for me) radio 1.13 (newest is 1.15, but I had some doubts about this one).
Link here: http://www.zshare.net/download/22756005f8e7c9/
Consider also upgrading to WM5.

help pliz
why does BaUpgradeUt recognize my roms but the no id dosent??
ROM version: 1.06.00 ENG
ROM date: 08/05/04

ExtROM version 1.06.117 WWE (anyone know what the WWE means?)
Bluetooth: BT-PPC/PE Version 1.0.0 Build 1900
this is/was my original rom!
Step after step:
1. Error 120 (according to google) means country error - CID lock seems to work, and yout device just seems NOT to be T-Mobile NL; WWE; T-MOB003
2. For error 114 just use wiki and try to go through procedure desctibed there http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.15_Upgrade and report results.
3. To load ROM to your device that isn't made for it, just use MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade)
4. "why does BaUpgradeUt recognize my roms but the no id dosent??" - this I really don't uderstand. Both version can read the same rom files if this is what you ask. They just ned to be in the same folder as the exectuable.
1. look i'm not a noob...
2. i cant run the device info on my pda...wont start?!
3. i get the radio error after 7% of flashing
4."why does BaUpgradeUt recognize my roms but the no id dosent??" i can read or? sinply the no id dosent recognize my roms...
5. i even tryed to modify the roms via dos...
help???
1. We'll see ;P
2. You mean GetDeviceData.exe? Have you read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted Or you mean that device is dead and that's why you cannot start anything? Please, be precise.
3. This we know, but it doesn't bring any new info. We need error codes, anything.
4. "does not recognize rom" - but you mean nk.nbf files, or the device itself?
5. You mean you tried to modify device data in nk.nbf in command line (this is not DOS, btw) using the data you don't have (as I understand from 2)
SO: Please be precise and explain again now, what is the problem, step after step.
1. hehe you got a point there
2. yes i have red everithing! i can start cab-s...can run the unlock progi...but the device info not(and some other progs)...i can upload any ms-s!!!thats interesting!
3. i only get the 114 error 4 the rom...after 7%...so it starts...(on the pda is only the bootloader text) and no % are counted...my ges is that it only tests the rom...?! for the nk...after a while at 0% ist spits an error: canot upload ce flash rom...and so on...an the standard "do it again" message...(big help)
4. when i uload wit the no id another ms...i can see my ce flash vers...an the ms i want to upload...after that i have the ce flash and the ms...so that works fine?!

poland mda iii rom anyone?
Still trying to understand what you wrote in the #18th post [approaching to end of point 2 ]
In the meanwhile link to polish rom you have... in post #3.
Hi recently aquired an XDA2s from a friend. However, the firmware has been modified. Would like to restore it back to the original firmware as the SDIO card is not functional. Used the Official ROM, but gave a Country ID error with my device and refused to upgrade.
Have done some homework read the instructions as shown on this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=228852.
However, i am stuck halfway. Here is my Devicetype.txt file description. Only managed to get the Devicetype as PH20B, Language ID = WWE. The rest of the info I can't really make out.
Also, when i use the file : xda2nbftool -t -x,
it gave a warning for ms_.nbf
The rest of the files such as nk.nba and radio.nbf were ignored. See pic.
How do i get the rest of the hex addresses for the radio and nk files ?
Could someone help to generate the final nbf files for me or help advise ?
The Official ROM file versions are here :
English ROM
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Date: 03/10/05
Radio: 1.12.00
Protocol: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.40.923 WWE
MMS: 2.0.0.21
BT: 1.0.0 Build 3900
Can anyone help ?
More information on my existing XDA2s firmware :
ROM Version : 5.04.09.WWE
ROM Date : 11/02/06
Radio Version : 1.15.00
Protocol Version : 1337.45
ExtROM Version : (Left Blank)
Never really heard of ROM Version 5.04.09.WWE. And SDIO Card is not detected. Would like to downgrade to the official ROM as i suspect that the SDIO Drivers are not installed in the existing ROM.
Also, i tried using XDAtools\OSimagetool to copy another XDA2s firmware to this XDA2s. But it failed to write generating an error in the pic. Status of Activesync is connected.

I'm afraid you have read the wrong homework. Those directions are for the Himalaya & Andes, not the angel.
What OS is on the phone now? That will help point to the correct directions needed to reflash the phone.
Flashing to 2003 from WM5 or 6 will vary depending on if the extended ROM has been resized, etc.
Check the angel getting started in the wiki (It's working now)

Oh ... thanks for pointing that out. To answer more questions :
It's running on a generic Windows mobile 5.0. I have a feeling that the Ext rom is already corrupted as the gsm portion of the phone is not functioning properly. I'll do a readup and revert my results. Thanks.
here's the thing. if you have a problem with the CID... all you have to do is find the exe file here named MAUpgradeUt_NoId.exe... use that instead of the exe provided in your Official Rom, i guess that would be WM2003se you are installing.
afaik, extrom havent have a thing to do with the GSM.
Thanks for the reply.
Thing now is that i am trying to downgrade from wm2005 to wm2003 (o2 official asian rom v1.42) But then looks like i am trying in vain.
Tried to do what is in the directions for wm2005->wm2003 by setting it to bootloader mode, doing a hardreset and using maupgrade_no_id with the official nk.nbf
But then it hangs while the check is being done. The xda2s screen shows v2.08 and serial. It changes to usb once the usb cable is plugged in.
Is there any other method i can do to downgrade it ?
