Update Rom Radio

Hi, I have an hw6515 with a corrupted original Rom (0.92) and that it is imposible to upgrade via USB using the Huu rom upgrade application from HP. Then I´ve tried many things and discover that I can upgrade an entire image. I tried a hw6515c image, bigrom, Ipaqdisk from file farmer and everything works. Except my radio rom that is not recognized when I use the HP asset application.
So, how can I upgrade the original NBF files from HP not using activesync connection and not using HUU rom update utility from HP? How can I use the Romupdate utility (mtty) to update only Rom radio OS and Radio File system? Is there any command in DOS, Windows or Linux. How can I map the entire rom?

this cant be done with a corrupted rom i think the only thing can you do is reboot the device in bootloader mode and try it
enjoy it!!!!

I have the same problem.
After flash my 6515d to change from ENG to ITA, the update is go bad.
so I have reset it in engineering mode ( pressed powerON - camera - Joystic -Soft-Reset ) and reflashed with sp33246 downloaded from HP.
When reflash the device, it stop at 0,1% at upgrade Radio Stack.
I have removed radioOS.nbf and radioFS.nbf writing ";" at the beginning of them line in the file hpRUU.ini and reflashed the device.
This time the flashing is go on and my device is good started but the part of radio is off.
I have seen in many forum and the problem seems being that in the servicepack downloaded from HP the files radio are only upgrade and not working if in the device there isn't already a software radio.
So the only way for reset completely the device is to restore an backup,
but I don't have any backup of my device.
Can anyone share the backup of its device?

ok!!

Tell me how can you change your language ??(becouse i know this cant be done )
try it with th same language of your device
enjoy it
***nEuEzIeL***

Yes, the change of language dont can be done.
but I did not know it and I have forced the flashing with an crakked program.
The flashing is go bad and now I have no image of old device.
The reflashing of the rom with upgrade of HP fail at %1 and the only way for to return at the old operative system is the restore the OS from the SD.
Please, can you share a backup of 6515d (english ) ?
Tank.

ups
no i dont have the 6515d i have the 6515b and your device are bricked you need to send to hp for a warranty or mailme to [email protected] and the topic need 6515 im from mexico and you can send me your device if you want but your device are briked

I have the same problem, i need help because i investigate a lot but don't know what to do now exactly...If you go Hp, they ask you for 300$ motherboard.
I Everytime stucked at 0,1% : I Try a lot of HPRompackage,
Modified rom, modified installer Hpruu, etc..
The Rom dump via d2s : doesn't include the gsm parts
We need arguments and specify a adress range :
if you want i have a radiorom dump of the
Adress : d2s 60000000 800000,
and the radiobeetlespatch.
But i don't know exactly how to investigate more the good adress.
I think we have to delete and rewrite manually good adress range.
I can find you a lot of rominstall to change language,
( not the problem just modifications in nbf files with winhex)
I investigate a lot the bootloader, have password pass 1, etc...
Try to listen with Usbmonitor, look dump of ram memory with winhex,
etc... So a lot of way to investigate and a lot of solutions for other device very close to our 6515.
So I send to everybody ask me a complete packages of the tools & rom who can help, and my extended info.

Tank you for your share.
I am trying to flash the rom from sd card.
I have downloaded a rom image of 6515 and I must put it in the SD card.
After to backup the PDA over SD with romupdate.exe dowloaded from :
http://www.filefarmer.com/2/dmc8742
with d2s, I have put the card ( SD 512 MB ) into card reader and ran
ntrw ( hw6515_bigrom112.zip in the link above ) for write bigrom112.nb1
into SD, but something does not work!!! My SD is blank.
I have an image of rom : IPAQROM.img and I could also try to mount it on the SD but I know that I have to use IPAQDISK.
I have tried to find it for many days on the web but I have not found it!!!!
I think that the single way for to resolve the problem is to make the flash from the SD card.
Makes to know your news me.
The single way that we have to resolve the problem is to work together.
Excuse for my English
Hi.

- For the problem of Dead Radio, nos gsm, and asset info blank,
A Classic Rom dump doesn't take the radio Gsm part.
- Flashing Bigrom or RomDump of a working device can only help you
to have extended memory on External rom, or to change language.
- When you do d2s, Romupdate format the sd in a special format when writing your rom. After copy backuped rom to your pc and finish by copy the new Rom on Sd via Ntrw. Move the sd from pc to pda, Finish via hard reset (1/Power 2/joystick down 3/Reset stay 5 sec, you see bootloader lightly, unpress in good order
1/ Reset 2/ Others. You see bootloader HP v0.21.
After few seconds "press action buttons to flash"
It's normal that the sd is blank, because it's a special formatted via d2s
for the pda can boot so pda os & os pc ask you if you wat to format.
So you can't see the file writed by ntrw, but she is ready for flash, if you follow steps & the bootloader stuck in bootloader and don't propose to flash, it's a problem of rom compatibility.
- So the D2s command don't take the gsm part.
I think we have to specify the good adress range, it's why
the file radiorom in my package is a rom dump d2s 60000000 800000 of a working device. If i copy back on the working device, he says upgrade radio stack and ok so solution is not too far.
Try it but my device don't wan't to take back this rom, stucked on "calculate checksum" on the pda and nothing never happen. If i do checksum command it's ok, but if i do a checksum 60000000 800000 he stuck too on "cal checksum".
So i think we have to erase manually with erase command & wdata, but really not sure to not brick more the devices but it's how they can solve the problem on other device...

Can't access bootloader menu on my hp 6515
How can I access bootloader menu on my hp ipaq hw 6515?
I tried all combinations POWER + Joystick + Camera + Reset
I only get a screen with message: Serial - hp - v0.21
This was because a ROM update went wrong...
Thx,
shaker308

That screen you see with Serial -HP - v0.21 IS the bootloader screen. You need to then connect the ipaq to a computer and use a terminal software to access the bootloader menu

ok... I didn't know that was the bootloader screen. I'll try what you told me.
Thanks cluurk.

ExtRom ver: 1.40.153 ITA
tnx in advance... and sorry for my bad english

1. You cannot reformat extROM without unhiding and unlocking it first. Follow the procedure step by step. (remeber aboutsoft reset
2. Correct links to both tools as well as the procedure you can find on Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi - Installation)
3. Report effects.
3b. Your english is OK

here i am...
followed tutorial step by step...
1. installed the unlocker
2. launched unhide
3. soft reset
4. launched unlock
5. system displays a windows named debug showin ERROR: press OK
6.another system window named debug showin FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION press ok
7. another window saying a peripheral connected to system in not working press ok
8. a debug window saying extrom unlocked
9. soft reset
10. launched repart_doc
11. error window saying "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed" press ok
tried also without soft reset at point 9. same results..
i only see Ext_Rom in memory page of Setting but still remain full
------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally solved...
i don't know why but ita extrom can't be formatted...
so i used an escamotage... upgraded qtek9090 with this rom BA_TMNL_14200_119_11300_Ship
After used unlocker and repart_Doc and all goes on....
now go to upgrade to HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_Public

hiya
i cannot format my DOC too, i got the same error ,
i used TASK 28 under MTTY , but still i'm getting this error.
anyone can help with this problem ?

Hiya
I was searching XDA-DEVELOPERS website about 2 days to find a solution for this problem, I have an I-mate PDA2K, i used all EXTROM tools on this website like this:
1- Installed EXTROM_tools,
2- run UNHIDE ,
3- then run UNHIDE,
4- Soft Reset,
5- now i can see Extended_ROM on my file explorer, i can read it , and able to write on it ... copy paste ...
6- run REPART_DOC.exe on my device,
7- tried many sizes like 128kb, 1024, 2048, 512, 61000, .................
but on this step i always get the god damned FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed,
i finally used Task 28 under MTTY but nothing happened, still have this problem,
No Wayyyyyy ! No wayyyyyyyyyy to repart my DOC size, .... noooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
anyone going to help me plzzzzzzzzzzz ?

try it in this order...
1. downgrade to 2003
2. in WM2003 unlock... unhide... softreset
3. then repart_doc...
4. then upgrade to WM5/WM6
PS:
@Borbor...
hmm... i cannot see any part on your post that you tried to UNLOCK the extrom.
mastermoon DID. you need to unlock it first in order to modify it.
unhiding it just simply makes it visible to filemanagers.

Hiya
I'm not a braincracked one, I'm a computer software engineer and i write CNC machines programs, so i don't need to someone to teach me instructions !!!! i did all, but i got FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed. !
find me a good solution plz !

and i thought landmark's the only one who is bossy...
if you dont need instructions then what are you looking for in here??? duh!!!
you're both at the same level of intelligence... are we downgrading humans now?
P.S.
look at the end of the third post... that is solved.

Everybody is allowed to name themself software engineers nowadays?

Please people start behaving like grown up's we are no longer in kindergarten.
Please:
- listen to each other
- be prepared to be wrong
- try explaining your problem in another way
- but most of all don't try to solve your listening problems by yelling and cussing to each other.

I don't know if I toasted my XDA
I have an XDA IIs. The biggest problem I think that I made was to use Windows Mobile center since I am using a Windows Vista OS.
I was about to install the windows 6.1 from pinoytopdownloads when suddenly, it stopped and continuosly displayed Serial......version 2.07.
Did I toast my ROM or did it just become blank because Windows Mobile Center disconnects once the phone started changing it's OS?
I have not tried checking if activesync 3.7 on a Windows XP application can still recognize the O2 Xda IIs in that state.
If anyone can guide me or give help regarding this, I will greatly appreciate it. thanks.

try using XP with active sync 4.5 and start the process from the top, hard reset first your BA and put it in bootloader mode...that should work

Upgrading Blue Angel using Vista (without Mail Button)
Hy everyone,
Yesterday I had a bit of a struggle trying to upgrade my SPV M2000 (aka Blue Angel) but in the end it worked.
As you guys are having some trouble too, I'm going to post the way I did it and hope that it works for you as well..
Note I: This steps worked for me but there is no guarantee that they will do so for you too and everything you try is at your own risk. However I am sure, you are all aware of this and really hope that this is going to help you.
Note II: My Laptop runs Vista Business, my BA WM2003 non-SE. I modified the installation process as the mail button on my BA is not working anymore, preventing me from following the normal instructions found in the wiki.
First of all (Prerequisites):
- Ensure Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) is installed and updated to the most recent version. The latest version is 6.1 which worked fine for me.
- Get the drivers for the BA, to be found in the wiki
- Get MTTY 1.4.2, attached to this post
- Get the ROM you want to install, I used Sun Dream's WM6.1 which can be found in the wiki as well
Now, to the task:
To begin with we can follow the instructions given in the wiki for ugrading to wm6 using vista, so I'll just copy&paste those steps from there:
4. Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button.
5. Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle USB. (Now you can see "USB" at the top of your display and numbers (2.06 or 2.07 at the bottom) You may need to remove SD/MMC (memory) card
6. Now navigate into the WMDC (Start -> All Programs -> Windows Mobile Device Center)
* Click on the "connection settings" menu icon
* In the connection settings menu uncheck "allow USB connections" then press OK.
* Now exit the WMDC and return to the desktop
7. Go into the start menu and type "Services", this will take you into the local services dialogue and show a list of all services either running or registered with your pc.
* Scroll down the list and make sure these services are present:
* Windows Mobile-based connectivity
* Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity
* If these services are not started then double click each one and set them to Automatic start by clicking the "startup-type" drop-down menu and selecting automatic then click the start button in the same window, apply the setting by pressing OK.
* Return back to the desktop again
8. Go into the start menu and type "Device Manager" then run, this will take you into the device manager.
* Click the "+" symbol next to "Mobile Devices" and double click on "HTC USB Sync". (Note: In my case this was labelled "Microsoft USB Sync")
* This will bring up the properties of the currently connected device.
* Go to the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver".
* Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".
* Select "Let me pick from a list...."
* Click the "Have Disk" button.
* Click "Browse" and navigate to the AS_DRIVERS folder we created earlier.
* Now select your file
o Vista 32bit users select the file "wceusbsh.inf"
o Vista 64bit users select the file "wceusbshx64.inf"
* Then click Open.
* Click next and the driver will be installed (wait a moment).
* Press close and escape back to the desktop now.

Next Steps, different from those described in the wiki:
9. Go to the task manager and kill the wmdc.exe process
10. Run MTTY; select the USB option from the dropdown list
- There is also a USB button but the instructions I found said NOT to use it, so I did not test it
- Apparently, the option could also be called something like WCEUSBSH001, but always has to contain USB. In my case it just said USB
- If you do not get a USB option something is not connected correctly, ie it will not work with the stock drivers Vista uses

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next Steps:
11. Take the phone off the cradle. I am not absloutely sure anymore, but I think it still was in bootloader mode at that point. If that is the case just soft reset the device.
- When the device has rebooted it will ask you whether to flash some settings (can't remember which..) about 3 times. Just answer no to all of them.
12. Restart WMDC and re-allow USB connections (under connection settings)
13. Reconnect your device to the cradle and start Active Sync on the Blue Angel
- Make sure your device is shown as "connected" in WMDC
14. Start the ROM installation.
Note: Using "BaUpgradeUT.exe" resulted in a Device ID error. In this case you have to use a version which does not check the ID codes. I used the version attached to this post
15. When the installation is finished, the dialogue on the computer says to cold boot (hard reset) the device.
- If your mail button is not working, just soft reset the device (what I did)
- If your mail button is working you may attempt this. (Please report back!)
I have not yet gotten through really testing the device and I never had a WM6.1 device before, thus no basis for comparison. From the first impressions the soft-reset at the end did not cause any problems and everything seems to be working fine.
16. You're done
Whew, this has gotten rather long. If this instructions work for you, please let me know!
As there seem to be several BAs out there where the mail button doesn't work this might be a useful addition to the wiki.
However, I will not post it there without some feedback whether it works for others as well..
(I hope there aren't to many mistakes in the text; I am not a native speaker)
Final Note:
This is not my work, all the steps described above were found on this forum and on the wiki pages. I just did the job of combining them in a way that worked for me.
My biggest thanks to:
- crabiorc
- ramram
- sp3dev
- all the people who contributed to the wiki pages
Best wishes,
Dipak

is it ok downgrade from wm6.5 to wm6.1?

Yes. If you feel more comfortable on a specific ROM it is always ok to downgrade or upgrade.

Upgrade XDA IIs to WM6.5
My XDA IIs just froze when resetted earlier and it was running on WM6.1 so I started to wonder if it had totally died. As I mainly leave it in the car and use it for satnav I was considering now buying a tomtom.
Then thought if its dead trying to revive it cant hurt so I found the following link (http://pinoytopdownloads.blogspot.com) to download a zipped file claiming to be WM6.5.
Opened the file and did a hard reset on devicethen sync with PC. Ran the programe which looked farmiliar from previous updates I had used so thought it might work. Half hour later, my XDA IIs came back to life running WM6.5 and none of my data such as text and contacts were lost at all.
It lives again.
Waiting for the HTC Touch Pro2 to see if it lives up to its hype and then can use my PDA as a phone again too cos lets face it... the XDA IIs is a bit of a lump now!

Nice to hear that your BA is kicking again

My XDA IIs just froze when resetted earlier and it was running on WM6.1 so I started to wonder if it had totally died. As I mainly leave it in the car and use it for satnav I was considering now buying a tomtom.
Then thought if its dead trying to revive it cant hurt so I found the following link (http://pinoytopdownloads.blogspot.com) to download a zipped file claiming to be WM6.5.
Opened the file and did a hard reset on devicethen sync with PC. Ran the programe which looked farmiliar from previous updates I had used so thought it might work. Half hour later, my XDA IIs came back to life running WM6.5 and none of my data such as text and contacts were lost at all.
It lives again.
Waiting for the HTC Touch Pro2 to see if it lives up to its hype and then can use my PDA as a phone again too cos lets face it... the XDA IIs is a bit of a lump now!

Billy B:
I just bought an 02 XDA IIs. I love it but the bluetooth doesn't work with my Motorola S9 stereo headset unless it's 6 inches from my head. Does your XDA IIs work with stereo bluetooth? Have you tried it with WM6.1? I'd like to know.

Upgrading to WM6.1, Etc.
For all you upgrading Blue Angels to WM6 and high, you need to read the Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel. Read Blue Angel for beginners and also the upgrading to WM5 and WM6. You'll learn that you can free up some memory being used for the Extended ROM among other things.

I am new here, and this is my first rom flash. I have an O2 XDA lls that was given to me by a friend on WM2003. On XP, following the instructions on the wiki, I have tried with several roms. The flash seems to work, but then as soon as I reset the phone I am back in WM2003. Instead of a striped boot screen, I simply see an O2 logo, and when using the key combinations, I get no debug options.
Anyone have any ideas?

well did you flash a proper rom or maybe just a radio rom, meaning just an upgrade on wireless tech, because that process would "feel" like flashing a rom but actually doesn't change the OS

I don't really know. But I used the roms on this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4
if that helps. I also used one off the helmi_c to check it wasn't a dodgy rom. DO you have any specific one to recommend? When I downloaded and unziped the rar, I simply ran the upgrade file within which started a wizard which said it would upgrade my pda. Strangely, the wizard did not display any information about the pda on the screen which tells you the rom info. Is it possible that it is not being detected? Do I need to install some extra drivers on XP?

it is perfectly normal that this upgrade tool does not show all the information like an official upgrade would, first of all, that is because these are cooked roms, meaning you only upgrade the OS, not the protocol, radio and extrom. that would be baked roms. but anyway, also, that the device's current information is not fully shown or not shown at all is normal, as you are probably using the MAupgradeut_noID.exe in contrast to the original BAupgradeut.exe, just by the first two letters (and the giant picture in the wizard) you can tell that this upgrade tool is actually for the magician, but works best for BA.
for recommendation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482997
the R6.1 release on that site is the newest real release, meaning you can get full further support, the download links work...
Don't get fooled by the R6.1, we are still talking about wm6.5, it is just the xplode release number.
P.S. no extra drivers needed, just use the wiki wizard word by word and it will work

The same thing happens again. Using the ROM upgrade file, it all seemed to work, and then when I attempt to do a hard reset, I get no stripes, just an O2 logo, and no boot options. I am then returned to Wm2003. Maybe I will try on another computer.

it's nice, but there is some application lost.
i've upgrade my xda 2s to WM6 cooked by HELMI, i download from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista and look powerfull, its nice, but there is some application lost that i need. there is'nt auto config and xBackup...some one can help me to get that application??....thank's.....

flash tells me it isn't a BA, when I know it is

I have definitely got the blue angel. It is an O2 Xda 11s.
I have downloaded the how to flash your BA pdf by D-Two, and followed the instructions. It gets through to the stage where it's about load the software onto the phone, and then it quits saying that he phone is not the appropriate model.
device information
Operator version: PDAViet.net
ROM version: 6.01.10 VH

Radio version: 1.06.00
ExtROM: diamond (01)
RAM size: 128 MB
Flashing eyes: 32 MB
Storage size: 60.3 MB
At present I have windows mobile 6.1.
And suggestions please?

for upgrading, you use the MAupgradeut_noID.
that program avoids country id errors but it was originally made for the magician, hence MA, whereas the original BA upgrade utility is called BAupgradeut.
that is why you get that error. you have to put the device into bootloader mode before connecting it to the pc and before starting maupgradeut_noid, that way, you avoid the device id check.
make sure to follow the correct upgrade procedure, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630416

These are the instructions I used;
Temporarily remove your SD Card (it may work for you with the SD card still in your BA, but you may not be able to enter USB mode when cradled).
Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and holding the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button. Help me with this step
Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle. sarcasm ahead Note: Did you see a sign out in front of this point that said: "You can flash using BlueTooth connection?" You know why you didn't see that sign? Because you can NOT FLASH using BlueTooth!
Now you can execute the installer file. (something like "MaUpgradeUt_noID")<--------------- Used This
Here is the screen just before boarding the software.

And here is the error message.
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt356/Pterodactyl_2012/ba2.png

nope, you are not using the proper maupgradeut_noid, because that would show a magician on the left, whereas your pictures clearly show a BA, so download the Chef_Tony RUU from my signature and try that. it has the right maupgradeut_noid, that will avoid errors like that.

you are trying to flash using vista/7 have you read d-two's manual about that, with the customized driver and everything?
alternatively try a windows xp pc and follow the tutorial in my signature (the read first link)
and make sure, that you don't copy around the rom too much. download the rom and the ruu directly to the pc you flash from and use it from that folder directly. i use windows 7 on my main pc and can only flash from my netbook which runs windows xp, and due to too much copying, i had similar errors, because after copying the rom to a usb flash drive without problems, still the crc changed.
don't worry, your case is far from hopeless, but you seem to be unlucky and go through every problem there is

Okay yes, I should have said this. I am using windows seven on a Lenovo N500 4233 32g. The problem is, trying to get hold of an XP machine. Have you tried running this programme in compatibility mode? I will have a look at your instructions and see where I get to.
Thanks for your help,

Is d-two's manual, the HTC service manual in you sig?

no, it is to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5456317&postcount=6
compatibility has nothing to do with it, neither has the xp mode or any virtual machine, because there must be suitable windows 7 drivers present. but i cannot help you with his tutorial, since i use windows xp for flashing and have never successfully used windows 7 for flashing.
the htc service manual in my sig is the official htc manual for hardware repairs, you can learn to disassemble the device there and have a list of spare parts

Upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.x

Dear XDA Members,
I have now read the official Wiki five times, and I still haven't understood how to upgrade my BA to a Windows Mobile 6.
The Wiki "HTC Blueangel WM6 Home" links to a Wizard Style Wiki for this, however that link only returns a 404 Error. I also haven't found any information about this in the FAQ or orther threads. Maybe it's just me?
Where can I find a WM6 image for the BA (T Mobile MDA III)?
What software do I need to flash it via USB to the BA?
Thank you in advance.
Chris

Please refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630416
The instructions are there in Posts 1-6. Good luck.

hi and welcome to the forum
as stated by sunny, my tutorial thread should cover all aspects of the upgrade process, including links to most of the recent roms.
the blueangel wiki suffered from the transfer to the new mediawiki project, which is why it should not be used for tutorials anymore.

Thank you both for your fast and helpful support.
I am running a non-english Windows Mobile 2003SE (GER) and executed the steps from your Guide to downgrade it to a WWE version. On xplode.tk I downloaded the latest T-Mobile UK Version and extracted the files mentioned in step 1b from the Temp folder while executing the .exe file. I also copied the files into the RUU folder.
When I open the task manager in step 6 i can only find and kill "wcescomm.exe"; "WCSEMgr.exe" isn't there. I am running WinXP SP3, logged in as administrator.
When I start Maupgradeut_noid anyway, I doesn't show me the rom versions.
Where am I going wrong?
Edit: I forgot to mention I have read the thread "Cant' Downgrade from Win2003 SE GER to ENG", but renaming the folder and then trying it didn't work for me either.

if you can't see those processes, you are probably not running activesync. install the latest version (a link can also be found in that thread in the 2nd post) and create a temporary partnership. just connect the device in normal running mode and set it to sync something small, like notes or favorites, after syncing go to the connection settings and untick "allow usb connections" then you should be fine and you can continue with the next step, connect in bootloader mode, make sure the display changes from serial to usb. at that point, a new driver will be installed and then running the ruu should get the upgrade process working, meaning, then there will be numbers in the 2nd window. if not, please post the RUU.log found in C:\

I have already installed ActiveSync 4.5.0.
I created a temporary partnership syncing favourites and after that unticked USB syncing in ActiveSync.
Then I connected in bootloader mode, making sure the display changed to USB V2.07. No new driver was installed, but I guess that already happened in my earlier attempts.
The HTCRUU.log (no RUU.log there) i found on C:\ contained a "Image Radio Checksum Error", so I downloaded another image from another mirror, but got the same problem.
Here is the log from the 2nd attempt:
11:50:02:843 [msg] : Config Info : [000000],[0],[0].
11:50:02:875 [err] : Image Radio Checksum Error.
11:50:02:875 [msg] : Update Image. CE : [0], MSystem : [0], Radio : [0]
____
I HAVE however been able to flash a WindowsMobile 6.5.3beta image to the device without formatting, so thank you for helping me with that!
I reverted back to Win2003SE, because I would still like to get the 60MB if possible.

ah, ok, apparently the radio rom is damaged and shows a crc error, since you are planning on downgrading and then upgrading, just delete the radio_.nbf from your update folder and try again.
no worries, obviously, you did nothing wrong, but there have been a lot of corrupted radio roms around lately, xplode's rom archive has them and so mine and d-two's have them as well.
in general, a first indicator for corrupted roms is the file size, a nk.nbf rom must always have 32,769kb (1kb more than 32mb) and a radio has 4,097kb (1kb more than 4mb)
you can ignore (delete) all radio roms in the process of upgrading, frankly, it has nothing to do with the operating system itself, it is just the bridge between the operating system and the hardware. if you are not running radio 1.15.00 yet, which is the latest and according to most users, the best version, you can upgrade it any time you want, so i'd suggest: try and upgrade to wm6.x first and then, when you got used to flashing, flash the radio, or, if you are satisfied with your phone's in-call sound quality, bluetooth and wi-fi performance, don't flash it at all.

Ah, ok.
I deleted the radio file and tried again. This time it showed me an ms_.nbf Checksum Error. I deleted that one as well and got this:
09:51:05:968 [msg] : Config Info : [000000],[0],[0].
09:51:05:968 [msg] : RadioFile Not Exist !
09:51:05:968 [msg] : MSystemFile Not Exist !
09:51:06:171 [err] : Image CE Checksum Error.
09:51:06:171 [msg] : Update Image. CE : [0], MSystem : [0], Radio : [0]
I also redownloaded the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe right from your signature to ensure I didn't use an old one. Still the same problem.
My radio file DOES have 4,097kb; the nk.nbf has 32,769kb as well...I have to admit i'm still puzzled.
I also downloaded the two most recent radio files from your tutorial thread. Same problem: Checksum error. But I do not get a checksum error when I try to flash one of d-twos os-images.

i'm changing the radio roms, i will only provide radio 1.15.00 from now on, and i will post the entire package, as it came from htc (including the original RUU).

Thanks.
Where can I find them? Your tutorial thread seems untouched.

Hi scudo2709,
I am using Windows XP. Flashing a ROM is no problem, I have now had 5 different ROMs on my BA. However, I haven't been able to flash a shipped english rom (WM2003) in order to format the flash drive. I keep getting Checksum Errors with all of the ones I've been able to try so far.
Thank you for trying anyway.
