Well I thought I would relay MY experience today.
I'm selling my XDA2 after upgrading to the 2i but as it was on WM2003SE I thought it best to downgrade it to 1.72 - afterall this CAN be done and would make sense to give it someone else with the latest o2 update rather than custom ones.
I put the XDA2 in its cradle, checked country id issues and then proceeded with the upgrade. BANG....USB v1.01 screen comes up and it didn't shift for 6 HOURS!!! Nothing I did made any difference, until I came across someone's comment (not on here) saying the only thing they tried once they'd rebooted into bootloader mode was to do it on another PC. I'd initially tried to put WM2003SE on my own PC and had a very similar issue to this one, but when I tried at work it upgraded immediately. Luckily I had a spare laptop hanging around and thought s*d it, it can't do any harm!
IT WORKS!!! I don't know why it's blocked on my PC, and what's caused it...but the laptop worked first time. I would ask anyone in the future having these kinds of problems with the bootloader screen and the PC not updating / downgrading to try it on ANOTHER PC!!! Obviously I can't say for sure, but for me it's 2 / 2!
Cheers

I want to upgrade my XDA2 to a IIs but I don't know whether TomTom will let me do this without buying another copy of the TT software. Has anyone done this before? Would I have to send all my TT CDs back to TT to get them swapped for new, unregistered ones?
As far as I know, my copy of TT (and all the maps I've bought) is registered to my specific XDA2 so it couldn't be re-installed on any new machine that I bought.
Thanks in advance.
PS. What would happen if I lost this XDA2 and got a replacement? Same situation, I guess.
For TomTom 3, you can install to a second alternative device after 7 days has passed from initial install and then a 3rd after 6 months.
So if you have only ever installed to the one device and 7 days has passed you won't have any problem.
You can of course re-install to the same hardware as many times as you wish without affecting the install count.
If you had your hardware stolen or replaced under warranty then TomTom will re-issue a new key if you can provide documentary proof that the hardware was replaced etc.
Having said all that, CeBit starts next week and there 'may' be some news on the TomTom front Registered owners of current versions may want to watch our site for news from Mar 10th.
Thanks for your reply, Darren. I bought TT3 itself from PCWorld so that's no problem. The additional European maps my Dad gave me - he bought them off some dodgy geezer on eBay. All original but seal broken. I guess this geezer will have installed them at least once, knowing that 7 days later I'd be able to install them on another machine and all would be happy. :scratchchin: Let's hope he doesn't install them on another machine in 6 months' time. Best I upgrade my phone nice and quickly! My wife will be pleased... NOT! :roll: :lol:
It is because of tomtom and their stringent rules that keygens have been created to overcome this problem, why should you be restricted to one or two changes of phone/pda once you have bought the software? I have a genuine copy of tomtom but I use a keygen to get new codes each time I change phones/pda's, otherwise I wouldnt be able to use legitimate software as I need and it saves me having to go through the process of contacting tomtom and being told I cant have another code for 6 months.
Changing units
Hi guys,
I've just done over 8 weeks in 19 countries without my TT BT Nav3 & TT traffic because O2 replaced my unit (because it wouldn't work with TT) unfortunately they classed it as stolen :?: & gave it a new ID, (in any case I have since read in forums that the problem was caused by Chinese made 1gb SD cards :evil: which won't run with TT and freeze everything!)
Decided to wait until I got home, upgraded to an XDA IIi, but, I've tried several uninstall & re-installs but each time it says 'You have not downloaded voice files, so your TT will not work properly'
I now have FOUR 1gb SD cards (bought from aria.com) which seem ok for anything else but no good with TT, Ye Gods!!!!
After problem after problem with TomTom I hope they sort all this out with TT 5!
Who knows, maybe they'll even manage their maps down from the extremely annoying 9 unmarked disks, OOPS! there goes another pig flying over :wink:
I have a Pinoneer AVH-P6800DVD with the CD-BTB200 Bluetooth. This is my problem. Im not able to connect any of my Pocket PC phone to the head unit for hands free talking. I have a T-Mobile MDA, Dash and a Cingular 8525. I have a Samsung D807 and a Motorola Razr that connect fine and work like a charm. I called up Pioneer and they told me that phones that run Pocket PC will not work with the Unit. If any one knows how to go around this i would be greatful. Thanks....
I am having the same problem and was told the same thing by pioneer,,
there has to be a way to do it,, any help would be great,,,THANKS
Can you confirm if it works with Mobile 6.0 for Smartphone. I have the T-mobile dash and was just about to purchase this adapter for my AVH-p6800dvd as well. Thanks!
Ok I found away to get it to work. You have to download some software to you Pocket PC phone. You can get it here http://www.jetwaremobile.com/. With this software I got my Dash to connect to my Pioneer. Only thing is after 30 days you have to buy it... I hope it helps some of you guys out...
very cool THANKS, this works now, with my pioneer cd-btb200 handsfree kit
I have been proposed to change my Excalibur to a QTEK 9090... What should I do? Is the QTEK a good device?
Qtek's are good devices...I had the T-Mobile MDA which is the Qtek 9100. It does have WM Pro which will be different than the WM Standard that the Ex does. At first I didn't think it had a keyboard but it does so that's a plus...it looks like a version of the SX-66 that Cingular/AT&T carried and if that's the case it looks like it's a older device and may not run WM6...or even 6.1 for that matter. It may not even be able to have WM5 on there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372485
seems WM 6.1 PRO is supported. Would it run swift?
Well that looks like it will run 6.1 on it, Blue Angel is another name for it and as long as they are saying it runs without a hitch then you shouldn't have any problems...size might be a factor depending on if you want a smaller phone...I have a habit if I get a touch screen then I baby the phone alittle more than I should and always freak out about the screen aposed to my Dash I just wipe it with my hand and keep using it and not worry too much about damaging the screen since I don't have to worry about damaging the digitizer
Is it possible to upgrade "HP iPAQ h3900 Pocket PC"?
Can i remove the Operating system and installed a fresh copy of windows Mobile 6? please guide me. i have a copy of the WM 6
i got this as a gift from a friend who bought it some years back and never used it!
Can't Be Done Economically!
You cannot put WM6 on the H3900 series PDAs. The ROM just plain out isn't big enough. Now if you want to have larger ROM chip installed then try it, you may get lucky. Now is it really worth it? Probably not. Then you also have to take into consideration that there may not be enough address lines on the motherboard for the larger ROM. So, in conlusion, I say a definate no.
okay. thanx for the info.
hopefully if anyone has tried it and got it working then please let me know. thanx again
Also, the rom/ram is the wrong type for WM5/6. It will not save the data if the battey runs down.
thank you for the info.
