Hi I don't quite understand all this stuff about the ROM? also whats that link (milinkito) all about?
i have the same problem, i want windows mobile 2003 second edition but i am not sure how to install it, and i dont know too much about anything with rom, etc.
my info:
rom version ; 1.60.00WWE
rom date ; 12/03/03
radio version ; 1.10.00
protocol version ; 1337.18
extrom version 1.60.50
i want to install the latest stuff so when i hard reset my pda it wont goto windows mobile 2003, i always want second edition but i am a newbie.
and i also don't know where my pda was made, when i look at the bottom of the box it says made in taiwan, whats the difference between the england and australian etc, can I use that sin thing?
the milinkito site is an atempt at being humours since if it display right should show bart typing
"all ask and no seach makes bart a dull boy"
as in a ref to the shining added that all this infomation is available to people who take a look round the forum
about the install being somewhat diff then well you got 3 options
1 stick with normal 2003
2 wait untill somebody makes it easier
3 read it and read it untill you understand and then perform it
as far as i know then there really is no easier way of upgrading it
about country ID then it have nothing to do with where it was made
since devices sold on the southpole would not likely be made there aswell
the country id try doing a search for country id since sooooo many people ask about it i would be surprised if it's location was not reviealed in some of the answers to their questions

I tried flashing with the NoID tool several times, yet it always failed, or my Universal would not boot after the flash.
The regular T-Mobile update utility did work like a charm, and never failed on my. Thus I created a little tutorial on how to convert wrong ROMs to ROMs it will accept.
In this Example I will explain how to use an O2 XDA Exec ROM (and a different radio ROM) on a T-Mobile MDA Pro device
It's easiest to start with a clean directory to do all this as else it can get quite messy.
First, get the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool by Bal666 here:
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,100/func,fileinfo/id,196/
Next get an original ROM for your device, in my case I used the T-Mobile UK ROM as my device was english anyway.
For example, on the T-Mobile MDA Pro UK (or dutch) version, use "UNI_TMUK_11242_126_10002_Ship.exe" (find it yoursef)
Use WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/) to unpack this file to a new directory called "Original", and unpack it again to a directory named "Converted".
The Original directory will be used to check things, and the Converted directory will be used to store all the roms that we have converted
Next we must find the ROMs we want to flash. I got "Xda_Exec_LaunchROM_v113139.exe" and Unpacked it in a directory named "O2", and "UNI_radio_1.08.00.rar" (from buzzdev.net) and unpacked it into "Radio Update".
First we must find out some things about our original ROMs. For each original ROM in the "Original" directory, follow the next steps:
- Open the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool
- Click Decode
- Open the ROM (.nbf file)
- Write down the values after "Operator Name" and "Language"
- Hit Cancel
Now we must modify the ROMs from the other distributions.
From the O2 directory we will use nk.nbf (OS) and ms_.nbf (Extended ROM), and from the Radio Update directory we will use radio_.nbf (Updated Radio ROM).
For each ROM you want to convert, follow the following steps:
- Open HTC64 Extended ROM Tool
- hit Decode
- Open the ROM
- In "Operator Name" and "Language" fill in what you wrote down earlier
- Hit Decode
- (on the begin screen) Hit Encode
- Open the .prj file you just created (same name as ROM, but with extensio .prj)
- Hit Encode
- if asked "Overwrite existing ROM", choose "Yes"
- if asked "Fat16 file is too large", choose "OK"
- When done, copy the over-written .nbf file from the directory you created it in (like O2 or Radio ROM) to the Converted directory. Choose to overwrite the existing file.
When all is done, run the ROMUpgradeUT.exe in the Converted directory, and follow the instructions.
If all goes well, you should have upgraded your ROM without having to CID-Unlock or use NoID tools that were originally made for another device
If before the actual upgrade your PC says it has found an unrecognized USB Device, close the RomUpgradeUT.exe with task manager (ctrl+alt+del), and reset your device (push the stylus in the hole at the backside). Then re-run the ROMUpgradeUT.exe
Credits go to iruja because he helped me find these tool
Let me know if it also worked on your device
EDIT: Stupid me, HTC64 Extended ROM Tool is by bal666
EDIT2: Note on "Unrecognized USB Device"
EDIT3: Added credits
Nice Job! Good, Clear and informative instructions.
he, leuke guide, die ken ik ergens van
Nice people like my way, this is the same way I test different roms for the wizard, without having to cid unlock the phone and loose warranty
Thank you "TheBlasphemer"
wow, I searched this forum for a few hours trying to understand how to install roms from other developers onto my Universal. It was driving me insane cause i kept on recieving country id errors. I found your post and was delighted to find how easy it really is to upgrade roms. Thank you for helping people like me who have no clue. Thanks, Thanks and More thanks. I also give shout outs to all others in this forum who take time to help others. XDA Developers is awesome! I'm surprised that developer sites dont link to xda developers for their customers. It would save them alot of time and money. Peace
Great Instructions
Many thanks for the great instructions.
I tried to flash my T-Mobile MDA Pro to the latest i-Mate rom and it became stuck in the Bootloader mode (I used the No-ID tool, and tried every type of reset). Fortunately this approach works, and I'm now the proud over of an much faster PDA.
Rom: 1.30.68 WWE 02/08/06
Radio: 1.09.00
Protocol: 42.42.P8
ExtRom: 1.30.153 WWE
The original T-Mobile Rom sucks compared to these i-Mate Roms

Excellent
Crystal clear instructions. worked like a charm once I found the Orange operator code is ORANG007. The "Orange" ROM on ftp appears to be a hash of 3 other versions as the operator names are QTEK001 and CDC__ something or other....
Thanks again for the excellent, no hassle upgrade method!
This procedure will be working on MDA Vario (QTek9100) ?
I have a QTEK 9000 that is in Spanish OS. There is no available downloadable shipping ROM so how do i get the values of Operator Name and Language? Are they in the registry=?
Tried this on my MDA pro NL which is stuck in boot screen, but no dice
I used however the init UK rom from T-mobile, not the NL which was my official one. I don't have a NL so I maybe if I use that one, it'll work, but Im afraid not
Viper, I also have a NL version and would like to upgrade my MDA...did you have any luck doing so or did you find the original dutch ROM?
(A stupid question: when I upgrade my rom, i assume that all my data is lost, right?)
Just wondering did you all upgrade your devices with the exe that came with the new ROM, or the one that comes from the phone vendor? :roll:
Kinda wondering should I use the one that comes with the QTek ROM, or should I use the one that came with the Dopod ROM (mine's a Dopod)
wow, how easy was that
the orange updater from the net (M5000_email.exe M5000) creates a temp directory called
\Local Settings\Temp\pft3CA.tmp\
run the orange updater program so it extracts the files, DONT CLOSE IT, leave it at the point where you make it update (don't hit next)
now follow the steps of the OP
simply decode your chosen rom, encode them with the correct info, then overwrite the roms in the temp directory with your required ones
then let the orange app install 'em for you!
took me 10 min to make my radio only to 1.09
hi guys
my MDA Pro dead, only show boot mode. i can't turn on my phone. i'm using all rom files. but no result. please help me how repar my phone. i'm use then solution no result. i can't change my phone lang. detect phone show only empty info. help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
siemens man??
why that name, do you work for 'em?
hi guys
thank you for reply mail. all problem solved. now good working
thanks to Buzz
Thank you verry much i'm verry happy with the Qtek-ROM (radio of Dopod 900) instead of the T-mobile rom
And now I have MSN
Im going to upgrade my MDA PRO tonight using the instrutions in this thread, but which is the best ROM to update it to? i suppose i would like push mail and msn messenger/hotmail.
also is there a slightly more stable internet browser in the ROMS? my current IE is not very good, and opera has the habbit of coming up with a not enough storage memory in dll error!
XDA EXEC is dead
I received my xda exec two days ago. I've tried the ROM upgrade as described. ROMUpgradeUT went OK. When I cold boot my device I get two options - Press 0 to restore factory default Press X to exit. Neither have any effect and the exec seems to be dead. Can someone help out or suggest a fix please?
It's alive !!!
Managed to get the exec in boatloader mode, plugged in usb and reflashed it with an original O2 rom, which, thankfully revived it. I still would like to find out what went wrong with the original ROM upgrade and why it 'killed' the exec. I followed the instructions to the letter. My orignal pre-installed ROM was a 1.13.82 (11/30/05), Radio 1.04.02, XROM 1.13.188. I tried to upgrade to JASJAR ME 1.30.82 171 10900 WWE ship ROM, which effectively turned my exec into (I quote) 'a very expensive paperweight'. I now have got it working with an older O2 original ROM (ROM 1.13.48 (09/19/05), Radio 1.04.02, XROM 1.13.139). When I tried to flash I overwrote the 'original' (ROM 1.13.48 (09/19/05), Radio 1.04.02, XROM 1.13.139) with the modified ROM, RADIO and XROM files from the JASJAR version, I didn't replace any dll files. Could this be the problem or am I way off target? Can anyone spot were I messed up here. Tonight I will try with another JASJAR upgrade, now that I know I can safely reflash with an oringal O2 ROM.
anyone know where i can get ROMUpgradeUT.exe tool from?
Hi all,
I'm loving the WM5.0 ROMs, however I cannot seem to get GoodLink to install (it claims my version of WM is unsupported). I've noticed for some other platforms, people have managed to change their WM version number to effectively combat this (fooling GoodLink to install).
Any idea how I can change the WM version number to fool GoodLink to install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
if you provide me with the install cab i may help, but first i have to look at it
Sure, I've uploaded the install cab here.
Thanks a lot.
First i think this is smartphone release, not pocketpc one, second your link does not work
Apologies.
Here is the correct file. I selected the wrong one
Matt
I dont know what this software is, and how to configure it but here is working WM5 cab of it, it installs and the some kind of setup wizard comes up, and then it asks for email and for pin
Thanks for your help. However, the issue with GoodLink is that it does a check after you enter your PIN on the WM version. At this point, it sees my BA is 5.1 (not 5.0) and fails the install.
I've seen other ROMs change the version number to avoid this problem and didn't know if it's something that's easy to do (either via a hex editor or a registry fix).
Cheers,
Matt
it is compatible with older wm5 roms without the 5.1 core, i am not sure where is the correct address to change for blueangel
and i think that it is time for them to update their app, there are no WM 5.0 devices anymore on the market
Thanks xplode, I'll try finding, downloading & installing a 5.0 ROM tonight then and see if it all works.
Agreed that they should update their software!
Matt
Just a followup to the above, I cannot seem to find any older images for download, the earliest I can find is "xplode_AKU3.3_Beta1_R1.rar" which still has a 5.1 core.
Any ideas where I can get an older WM5.0 image from? I'd go back to 2003, but that's not supported either (between a rock and a hard place with GoodLink!)
Matt
Just thought i would post a download link for the latest WM6 official o2 rom, it has been out for a few months but now at least people who have other hermes devices can now download it
http://rapidshare.com/files/82987999/RUU_Hermes_O2_UK_3.62.206.2_6275_1.50.00.00_108_Ship.exe
what kind of O2?
I have O2 Atom.., can it ?
thanx for the info.
Man..this is hermes thread.. so obviously it's hermes o2 rom..
Thank you for the link.
I've been away from the site for a long time and I'm a bit nervous. I started out with a blue angle and did almost very thing to it years ago. So for with the Hermes I only done the official updates. But now my phone is unlocked incl SCID and Hard-SPL-V7, I need re-arrange things.
So after day's of reading I come to the conclusion thus. To use this upgrade I did to extract the *.nb's and re-compile them back to a RUU_signed.nbh. ( Herm_ExtendedRom.nb + PrimarySplash.nb + Radio.nb + SecondarySplash.nb + Windows.nb extracted and re-compiled using nbhtool-v101) With my newly created RUU_signed.nbh I can install using RUUWrapper.exe and a USB cable or re-name it to HERMIMG.nbh and install from SD card.
Could someone confirm that this would be my procedure.
(P.S. when re-compiling the *nb's using nbhtool-v101 I used the setting HERM100 instead of HERM200. My Hermes is a 100 according to the Device Information -> Model No:.

Excellent post sir, i like to see people who have done thier homework
Best thing to do is only to flash a radio unless you REALLY need to. Leave out the radio nb file and just rebuild the ROM as you (correctly) described.
Flash the new nbh file using RUUWrapper over USB (sync with activesync first).
Take a look at the thread in my sig about the choices of radio ROM.
Good luck sir
Thank you mrvanx for the reply and confidence. My radio is 1.16.00.00, with radio roms going up to 1.54.? I think I need updating. So this being an official rom I'll use it as a base. I'm hoping to try Schap's WM6 4.31 if all gos well.
I've been searching for quite a while now to find a clean version of Windows Mobile 6.1 with the dutch/netherlands language on it.
So my question is where can I find it somewhere for the Samsung Omnia I-900
I know its an old phone I use to mess with it and put on WM 6.5 but I can't seem to find the dutch/netherland language for it? Maybe if someone can help me out on this problem I might not have to change the OS.
My goal is to convert this phone to a music player since I now own a blackberry and it only came with 1g onboard so I thought I'd use my samsung for music since it has 8gb
Thank you
Have you tried the official Rom updates? They can be found on: http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp
Also, on Modaco they posted the link to the last know Dutch ROM for the omnia and a workaround to install it.
The ROM is at : http://nl.samsungmobile.com/pmgmvst.do?visitgbn=10913155&coflag=0
And the solution on how to install at http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-...evert-the-i900-back-to-standard-samsung-rom/#
Do it at your own risk.
Yes I've found that site but I downloaded a WM 6.5 from this forum, and when I go to the version and enter it it says it's not correct.
And I don't know which version I have to enter to get the 6.5 or 6.1 dutch version
Thanks bsinclair thats what I need!
But now I don't understand what he means with this:
Solution:
- disassemble original rom with i900 executer (latest version!)
- assemble your disassembeled files back to an exe with i900 executer
As you may have noticed I'm not a native speaker, does he mean to connect the phone trough usb and delete all the folders by yourself and after that execute the executer?
As far as I understood, this is an unpack for the ROM file. See here:
http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-general-omnia-rom-discussion/286865/executor/
It seems that, if you unpack and pack again, the incorrect software version crap is gone.
Nevertheless, I would say it is better if you register there and ask the author of the post, he will know more than anyone else.
