Hi all
I have an XDA running Pocket PC 2002.
Is it possible for me to upgrade this or remove what's installed and install the latest Pocket PC op system?
I'm not sure which is the latest, I think PPC 2003?
What will I need to do this and is the procedure available?
Regards
JC

The 4.01.00 ENG version is here ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21 ..
but be careful as it contains the upgrade for RSU and I 'm not sure
it supports 900/1800 or not since it's TMO upgrade.
If your device has no Radio problems (GSM),
my advice would be to down load the file, use Winzip or WinRAR to
extract the NK.nbf file which the ROM upgrade, put it on SD card and flash your XDA using the bootloader.
PS: if you are sure that your network is 1800 MHz then do NOT use R6.24 for RSU upgrade.
Good luck
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT

Or

Ok got a SD card and put on a new rom how can I make it load the info from th card. Also everytime I try and make a nbf file type it erros on me.
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739write xip block starting at 81800000, with 3 fileswrite xip block starting at 81980000, with 0 filesheader : No such file or directoryError creating new rom
I picked nb1 said was for flashing with SD card and can't get it to load.
What's your current ROM ? ... maybe all you need is to load the XDAunlock.exe tool http://www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/
Anyway, to use the SD the best way is to cook the ROM as EXE, then use WinRAR or Winzip to extract the NK file from the English subdirectory. Use XDAtools to move this file to the SD card using the device and activesync. Insert the SD in your device, if it will ask you to format press NO. Go to the bootloader menu (power + soft reset) it should recognize the SD content and will ask you to press Action.
PS: this is valid for bootloader 5.15 and 5.17
How do youi nstall CAB FILES on a IMATE PDA2K? I am using windows XP 2nd edition & I tried following IMates instructions but they do not install. There must be a correct way to install them. Thanks for any info.
copy the file from your computer to the imate, then navigate to the file on your imate and click on it.
I did that but it still does not install.
(Assuming on XP)
Start ActiveSync connection up
Goto to "My Computer" on PC
Browse to Storage Card (if you have one)
Browse to Storage (if you don't have storage card)
Copy the CAB Patch file there.
Now on PDA2K bring up File Explorer
Browse to My Device (drop down box at top)
Now Browse to Storage Card (or Storage)
You should see the file you copied.
Click on it.
Reboot manually (soft reset with Stylus) if it does not automatically.
Please help! I've tried many method to flash my XDA to WM 2003 but was always unsuccessfull. There's always a message about connectiontype. But when I use ActiveSync, I was able to access the XDA smoothly. After I tried to flash it using XDATools/.exe from RomKitchen, it killed my ActiveSync connection too. I tried to flash it using SD Card but everytime when I turn it on, it always ask me if I want to format the card.
I flashed my XDA with the xda-developers special rom and now I can't seem to flash it with ne other rom.
XDA Specs:
G1.3.3
4.00.21
RA.33.02
This is what pops up wen I turn it on.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Once you have programmed a card with xdatools or xdarit the phone will ask if you wish to format the card, ignore that and push reset while holding power button, this should prompt you to push action key to program new rom.
Thanks. Helped a lot. Itz working now.
Hi people,
I'm about to attempt to upgrade my XDA to WM2003 FINAL.
Is there anything i should be aware of before attempting this, and also, is there anything i can do if it all goes *tits up*? I'm just a tiny bit sceptic about doing it, as i don't know enough about it, give me a desktop anyday, but a PDA, and i'm almost lost.
Thanks in advanced.

if only i had an SD Card :roll:
I am trying to figure out how to flash a .nbh file correctly for my friends Dash. He has the T-Mobile dash 1.22.531.6, which oddly enough is not on the T-mobile wmupgrade site. Anyway, found the file here and it is a .nbh file. From how I understand doing research on flashing from an SD card.. It should be as simple as the following steps...
1. OPEN RUU_Excalibur.exe with an archiver and extract files to temporary directory (the file we want is the EXCAIMG*.nbh)
2. Format SD card using FAT32
3. Insert SD card into phone
4. Connect using ActiveSync
5. Rename nbh file to "EXCAIMG.nbh"
6. Copy EXCAIMG.nbh to SD card
7. Disconnect phone
8. Start Manual Bootloader (hold camera key for three seconds and press power button)
9. After quick messages (checking sd card, etc.) you should get "Update SD image? Press power button to download" screen with countdown in bottom corner
10. After timeout you will go to color bars UI
This was taken from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293387
I just want to be sure that these are the correct steps for the T-Mobile 1.22.531.6 ROM update from the OFFICIAL ROM sticky...
Gave it a shot, but got a "Invalid Certificate" and stuck at tri-color screen. Luckily, did not brick it.. Any suggestions?
SD flash ONLY works with SIGNED nbh file that matches the Device. The nbh file you downloaded was not signed by HTC, it was "extracted from a phone". Currently there is no way to flash the TMO .6 rom, only the .4 from T-Mobile or use one of the other "Official" or "Cooked" roms. Also, SD Flash seems to have issues with the WM6 Roms, would not recommend. Instead of flashing new ROM if you want to keep the TMO .6 rom try doing a restore instead.
Ah ok, thanks for the information.
