Upgrading from Special Edition to WM2003 Issues - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I had the Special edition rom on my SX56, then I upgraded to the 30.05 ROM. I don't know about my ability to make telephone calls (I know I could with the Special Edition ROM), but Active Sync is not recognizing my device when I try to deploy applications I write in VS .Net 2003 to my device.
I just upgraded to the 30.09 ROM and I am getting the same thing.
Is there a way I can go back to the WM 2002 that originally came with this and I can do a direct upgrade to WM2003 to see if this elimiates my problems? Or does anyone else have another suggestion?
All help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Therese

Does it matter what I cook? Does it need to be an nb1 or do I use an exe?

the best way is to make a nb1 and flash it to a sd and update bootloader style imho that is

since I dont have a sd .. I'll make the nb1 and use the XDATool. I am assuming this will totally wipe everything that is there and give me a fresh start.. is this correct?
Thanks for your help Rudegar

well flashing roms delete anything in the ram if thats what you mean
never tried to use xdatools for anything but sd flash
but i suppose it should work ok

Alright ROM upgrading lesson: plugin the Universal into the USB of your laptop or PC and make sure Activesync is installed and detects it on your laptop. Next run the executable file for the ROM upgrade and it should go smoothly. Just follow the instructions till the end of the ROM upgrade.
Now if you are looking for the best and most stable ROM's, xda-developers would be a good place for it. The reason why I dont like official shipped ROM's from companies is because they are outdated and usually lacking a lot of features. Orange ROM's are very slow and take up a lot of memory. Ofcourse company ROM's have their benefits like the Orange start menu and main menu looks completely different from all ROM's released to date, company ROM's also most likely contain more drivers to support things like blackberry connect software.
Now if you are looking for a nice stable/best/latest ROM xda-developers would be a nice place. You can download Helmi's AKU 3.5 ROM which is the best we have to offer at the moment and is also the best on the net. Helmi's ROM must be extracted, its in .rar format which is just like .zip and then you have to run the executable file in the folder you extracted it to. Everything will go fine if you follow instructions and dont do anything weird.
thanks nuclear
its this the rom you were referring to Helmi Rom AKU 3.2

thanks again nuclear...
another stupid question... hmmmm is there a procedure to install it inside the .rar file? or do i just simply connect my EXEC to my pc then run the installer on my pc?
thanks alot

download winrar and install it, right click on the file you downloaded and click extract to folder..to extract the contents of the rar file. Next you have to connect your device via USB and activesync must detect and synchronise with it. Then in the folder where you extracted the rar file there will be an executable file romupgradeutility or something. Just follow the steps it tells you and you shall be fine. Dont worry if the screen turns black or anything
try this

Can I simply re-apply the official HTC rom from the HTC web site? WIll that work ?
Thanks for helping

If you only flash OS, no problem. If you have hard-spl installed your device will be almost unbrickable.
With a new Hard Spl, I can restore an old ROM?

can you explain me what hard-spl is ?
My question here is, will original ROM restore the splashscreen and initial bootscreen that was changed by LVSW?
So many questions

Click to expand...

You can usually restore an old ROM even without Hard-SPL. It makes it a little easier because you can flash even ROMs that are not intended for your device (for example HTC Rom to Vodafone Compact GPS).
can you explain me what hard-spl is ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure. It is a replacement bootloader made by DES and later by Olipro. You'll find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1239088
LVSW offers it as a download as well, I don't know why he didn't include it in the update itself (nbh).
My question here is, will original ROM restore the splashscreen and initial bootscreen that was changed by LVSW?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, original ROM updates are what I call full updates: Bootloader, Splashscreens, OS, Radio. However they will only overwrite Olipro's Hard-SPL if you use Soft-SPL (sspl) for flashing. Keep that in mind if you want to send your device in for warranty repairs...
Enough noob questions answered For details use search, its not hard.
OK OK one more thing...
If I flash from mun_rus rom back to WM05 and take device for warranty... thay will not accept it?
If you flash it properly (load SSPL first, then run official update) they will have no way of telling the difference.
Obviously this only works if you have access to the official full update.

If your phone is the S300+ (SFR version of Trinity) it's gonna be hard. No SFR ROM is available yet. So you can find the OS part over here and you can save your extended ROM, but it seems to be hard to restore exactly as the same.
I`m just asking out of couriosity...
Flashed to muns SE rom works like a charm...

generic ROM before flashing new ROM?

Hi, I dont have my Softbanks TyN Hermes 200 base ROM. I reflashed ones to shaps WM6.0.
It is recomended to flash original ROM before reflashing to one of the latest ROMs.... is there a good generic I could use instead of my original ROM? or should I just flash the new ROM directly?
thanks!
Its usually recommended to flash to original ROM when you flash a hyperstorage ROM, ie. OS and ExtROM merged! If not, just flash them and it should be ok.
What i do is strip out just the OS and ExtROM from the orginal one and make a RUU just by themself. I flash this before i flash the ROM i like. That way, i dont mess with radio, IPL, SPL etc.

When I saw this post I thought exactly about this. Can you please post this "stripped" version of the official ROM, I'm growing tired of reflashing Radio every now and then. BTW, I was trying to do this a few days ago and got more confused than anything, so I just quit.
Thanks in advance,

I dont have a rapidshare or any of the file sharing account and file is about 80MB, so i dont have a good way of uploading the file. Did you try using dutty's tool (can be found in any kitchen) to strip the RUU file and rebuild it again? That's what I did, if that helps.

Excellent, figured it was something like that. Thanks for the tip!
Hello,
I wanted to follow this method, but my original rom (softbank x01ht, wm5), is not available anymore. Can I use another generic rom, and in wm6 version? And using dutty's tool, are the "version" and "language" fieds important, or is it just for the info in the phone (as it will be a transition rom, I really don't care about it, even is it wasn't transition rom by the way)? Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm trying to avoid bricking my phone...

I am not sure about softbank, but if you can install any hermes ROM, then you should be good to go with any official hermes ROM.
I never change the version and language in dutty's tool when i create my own ROM's!
Ok thanks, that's all I needed! I will take the cingular rom as it seems it was the one which gave best results on hard reset issue.

What do you mean "not original"???
If you sim unlocked your phone, now it probably has Dopod Rom, so it's no good.

Sorry if this a a stupid response - if you need the original WM6 ROM image, can you not extract from the ROM's stored on the XDA FTP Server :

One question..... in the HOW TO the last step of the files says "a valid signed official Touch ROM.". Maybe this sound a bit dumb, but... i guess that I need to use the Cava ROMs right?

Cruzzmz,
Holy smokes, nice work on all this. I just read up on a lot of the threads. You are out of control. We all owe u many thanks.
I MIGHT be able to convince a friend to 'DUMP' his ROM. I am new to all this.....
What exactly does this do to the phone after it's dumped? Can he use it on softbank, or does he need a new ROM? Is there anyway to screw it away and 'brick' his phone?
Thanks!

2. use ROMUpdateUtility.exe to install it
3. replace ruu_signed.nbh with any wimo that u want.
note*: arteUSPL-nosize-cmon allow to install almost any windows mobile rom, that u find on internet for your device.
note**: i put in attach a print screen with files that u need.
