Quick question regarding ROM upgrade please..

I'm trying to upgrade my IIs from 1.12.62 to iMate's 1.22 ROM, I read carefully thru all the posts here and I *think* I have everything set...
1) Got the xda3nbftool file and written the bat file to modify the ROM...
2) Got the Device Date file from my IIs etc
Am I correct that after the upgrade, I'll loose all original O2 or my carrier's setup from the extended ROM they provided? And bascially, my unit will be turned into a PDA2K right? Is it possible to retain all the O2 files etc while only upgrade the MS and Radio files?

Hey there CL55,
There is much discussion on this forum regarding this issue. I have done this upgrade myself and know it very well.
I used this particular post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14912 and followed the instructions by ohmlogic to complete the upgrade.
If you need any help or get stuck, Private Message me and I'll see what I can do.
PS: BEFORE you run the upgrade install make sure you have run the GetDeviceData.exe on your phone and retreived the file \windows\devicedata.txt (also from your phone)!!! This is very important and contains the data you'll need to import into your setup files in order to get it to work. If you get this wrong you will lock your device and wont be able to use it!!!
Hope this helps - good luck!
Dom

Yup, you did your homework
Your Phone will look and feel like an I-mate.
Is this a problem, well not realy.
Was not for me and I went form T-mobile in German to I-mate in WWE.
Now there is a whole section on Extened rom, the short is that your provider has added files that they thought were cool. They have put them in a place were you are not meant to see them. However this forum gives your tools that will "unlock" and Unhide" this folder.
If you need this option is up to you and your own understanding.
The fact remains that most of them are unremovebale thus you cant just go over the "remove progams" to get rid of them. So you might end up with software that you can't use or im my case I lost the PDF viewer and zip.
Givem that you have a FTP tool you could have a look at the exteneded roms that are on this server. Internet explore will error on you.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel
Here you can download the ones that look intresting to you and extract the *.Cab files that you like (Like the zip). Copy them over to your device and with explorer click on them to install.
Also you might have had seetings for your Voicemailbox number and your SMS sending number. These are also gone and need to be added again.
There is also a thread about the Splash Screens (what you see when you boot) Here to you can change them if you have the original ones. (I asked were they were hided in that thread but never got an answer.
So for me, I am fine with the I-mate release and the added *cab files that i got out of the other extened roms. All of which can be done without any further tools than what you have mentioned.
Please be aware that for version 1.22 and above the format has changed and that the xda3nbftool.exe may error out on you.
I have tried to start a thread on what has worked for which operator to help people out on this subject.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15510
Have fun

Thanks for the reply guys Like I mentioned in another topic, I just found out O2 has 1.31 ROM avilable thru their repair center! Will give that a shot first Thanks again!

CL55,
Excellent! Well, let us know how you get on and also it would be cool if you can upload it to the ftp here - ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/ - so others can try it out!

Need advice on the best way of rebuilding my Orbit

Time to kill my Orbit and start again....
It's running painfully slowly and the GPS won't work so I'm going to hard reset my XDA and get rid of the O2 crap, then install TomTom. I know all this stuff is here somewhere but I’m up to my eyeballs in tech articles so…. Questions:
1. Should I upgrade the ROM, and if so can anybody point me to a suitable ROM image? If I do this should I unlock it first?
2. What's the best way of getting a clean install - is it to hard reset then soft reset before the O2 stuff loads? Or should I go for a cosporate install option (is this available for the Orbit) And how do I hard reset?
3. is there an easy way of setting up the O2 connection settings afterwards or do I have to do it manually?
Lots of questions and not enough time….

I have an O2 Orbit. Best thing to do is get it unlocked by imei-check. Then run USPL program from mobile6 forum. Makes it a lot easier to fix if something goes wrong at any time. After this you can flash the ROM to your hearts content. I use Black&Bluev3 and i can truly say that WM6 is amazing. To get a clean install just do a Hard Reset then when it boots back up, before the O2 customization routine runs just Soft reset. That's all there is to it. As far as O2 setting go. Have a look through the upgrading forum. There are usually a few postings of O2 settings. If not let me know. I have the HTC UK settings file on my PC. Anything else you need help with let me know.

Thats different to my understanding of things.
If you are thinking of upgrading the rom (instead of just hard resetting the phone) then you will need to either get your phone CID unlocked with the imei-check team or run the Artemis USPL application prior to loading the new rom file. The USPL program temporarily 'unlocks' the CID whereas imei-check does it permanently. Once you've done either of these methods (I ran USPL as didn't want to pay £40 when I could get it done temporarily for free) you can then flash any of the roms suitable for your phone. I've got an o2 UK supplied Orbit and went with Tom's Black & Blue v3.
When you load the B&B rom it writes over the extended rom so all of the o2 programs are cleared so no need to soft-reset once its been flashed. This way will give you a fully functional phone with a lot of preinstalled apps (all of which are useful if not essential in my opinion) and none of the o2 junk on there.
Your other choice is to hard reset the phone and once its finished it'll prompt you about customising your phone. Simply soft reset before it gets a chance to run the ext_rom and none of the o2 crap will be on there. Now your phone will be pretty much as it left the factory with WM5 installed and thats it. If you're in the UK using o2 then the attached cab file contains all the settings that you'll need for MMS and GPRS etc.
As for question 3, see my previous statement about the cab file. Very useful to keep this as I've re-flashed my phone a few times and it makes the process a whole lot more bearable trust me!

thanks for the valuable info - I'll try Black&Bluev3 once I unlock. Excuse the ignorance, but do I just run the copy the O2 cab file to the Orbit, then run it from there?

Yep, as simple as that Probably best to copy it to your SD card and keep it on there as once the phone has been reflashed you won't have to connect up to a pc to install the network settings.

everything seemed to have gone fine, but after restarting the phone won't recognise the sim - before i even had a chance to enter the pin 3 times it reported that it required the unlocking code, and then refused to accept the unlocking code once I'd got that.
So now I've got a very sleek PDA, but no phone Any idea where I can get an O2 ROM from as I can't see it listed in the Artemis list, and am I looking for a ROM or extended ROM (what is the difference anyway?)
TIA
Peter

The b and b rom your usings originates from the leaked o2 orbit german rom - changed to wwe by bepe and tweaked by tom. So firstly i would try a hard reset or reflashing the rom. You dont need to flash USPL again as its an os only rom. If still not working flash original wm5 rom - see sticky in artemis mobile 6 forum for the link.

rogers s621 rom.. please help.

hello all, i am trying to load the S621 rogers rom into my tmobile Dash. this will be my first attempt in doing this and yes i am a noob. im trying out the DIY post on this forum on flashing any rom into the dash. i am well aware of the mishaps that could happen (bricking my phone). i hear the s621 rom is much faster than the standard wm6 rom that comes with the dash from tmobile. i am tired of the constant reboots and i would like to try this rom out. my only problem is i cant seem to find anywhere where the rom is available for download. i tryed the rogers website, but everytime i click the link it gives me an error. i am hoping that some1 is willing to help this noob out and host the rom for me or atleast direct me to where i can download it. i have tryed various torrents sites and i have come up empty handed. i have also tryed seaching in the forum and everything seem to point back to the rogers website. i have tryed the HoFo forum and same. please help. any info will be appreciated as to where i can d/l this rom. thanks for ur time.

Couple of questions about changing ROMs
please indulge a NOObie to the change process..
Situation...
I have a TMobile Dash that I upgraded to the official WM6 from TMo. It is SIM unlocked direct from TMo (traveling overseas and asked them to provide unlock codes - they complied).
Now the Questions...
1) If I change the ROM to Rogers WM6, will I lose SIM unlock?
2) Is the Rogers ROM that much better than the TMo one? (posts I've read indicate its the best one out there for WM6)
3) Can anyone tell me what functionailty I will lose moving to the Rogers ROM? (I've heard voice command, but what about long press keys provide "alt functionality", etc??)
Thanks so much in advance if someone could starigten me out here..

as a fello n00bert my self.. i switched from tmob wm6 to the rogers and i find the rogers much worth it than the tmob rom..
as for ur questions..
1)i dont think u would lose SIM lock b/c ur messing with the CID and not with the SIM and hopefully u still have the SIM unlock code tmo provided so that should unlock ur phone if it becomes locked (that if u flash it with jockyw2001's progs)
2)to me its worth it.. i havent restarted my phone for 2 days and i still have 15K+ KB in memory
3)no u wont lose the "long press key" function but then again there will be a shortage of progs that came standard with tmo wm6 like the OZ IM is not available on the rogers rom and the voice commands but u do have voice tags... plus u will have to reconfig the settings to tmos network..
hope this helps and for any false info i may have given.. sorry but thats how ive seen it and how i know of it from my own experience

i was about to ask the same question about the config...is there a way i can get OZ back..and also set up my yahoo email and all that..also i have windows vista and it connects to my phone with a sync program on it and when i got the rogers rom i went thru the steps and i noticed it found that my fone was connected so can i use it instead of active sync because it works the same..and also alll i have wm6 from tmo...and i wanted to know if all i have to do is connect the fone and flash the rom to it...

dude u gotta be more clear.. u say u have tmo wm6 or the rogers? cuz from wat i understood was u have tmo then rogers and now u trying to flash a rogers over a rogers.. but as to flashing the rom follow the steps in this thread. the first post... for me it worked like a charm.. flashed my fone in under 15 mins on the first try.. but i do warn.. READ CAREFULLY.. to me thats the most important thing that every1 under estimates.. read the instructions carefully and u should have a successful flash..
as far as the OZ IM im not sure if u can get it back.. maybe some 1 can provide u with the files from a Tmobile rom for it to work. or u can try a 3rd party program like agile or IM+.. me personally i dont like the OZ IM so i use ebuddy.com or a program called SLICK.. and with the rogers rom in order to sync to a computer u will need active sync 4.5 i believe. u should be able to download it directly form microsoft website for free(thats wat i did)
hope this helps

So does the Rogers Rom also have the VOIP already installed or do you still need to follow the instructions in the other post to re-add the VOIP function? This would be the deciding point on if I need to switch from the TMobile ROM to Rogers!

well im guessing active sync is active sync.. but u still need to get past the CID lock which u would have to pay to get unlocked according to your fones IMEI or you can use the the process jockeyw2001 posted with his program and the sda unlocker which is the way i did it to my dash..
this is the link and the process i used which in 15 mins after CAREFUL READING got me the rogers rom into my tmobile dash:

Vista uses an update to Activesync called Device Center. It provides the same service as Activesync.

This is a newbie question and I may not have searched correctly but...
I am currently using a T-Mobile Dash that has been uprgaded to T-Mobile's WM6 Rom that was offered on their website. It originally had a previous version.
If I follow the instruction to flash the device with the Roger's Rom, and I end up missing functionality, can I simply follow the instructions again and re-flash the T-Mobile WM6 Rom upgrade on top of the Roger's Rom? I want to make sure I can go back if needed before I go through the process!
I also have my unlock code from T-Mobile because I travel overseas so if I needed to go back to T-Mobile's Rom once I flash it over to Roger's Rom, will I need to re-apply the unlock code?

yes u can flash back to the tmobile rom

I previously updated my Dash to the Rogers ROM but now I am going back due to a number of issues I've encountered. The biggest being the constant locking after I applied the App unlock and the AllowCertificate. Also, when I received calls, the call would cancel if I had another person on the line. Anyone else have these problems? I also could not take my calls off hold if they were placed on hold.

Japanese WM6.1 ROM Samurai-CLIMAX

xda-dev.Members!!
I came back.
It is returning commemoration.
WM6.1 CLIMAX_a
Its Japanese ROM!!
Details will be written here tomorrow.!!
It has already opened it to the public on the site in Japan on which I am
acting.
JApanese GOOD Windows Mobiler Forum
Mobile Gadget Web

We've been waiting! Good to see you back.
Downloading now. I needed something to do while my wife goes shopping, anyway!!

I can't configure an exchange server, it just blinks and doesn't go anywhere when I click on the set up server link. I'll have to wait for the next version...

To all who live in Japan and hope to use this to access MMS via the softbank network:
MMSLITE (both builds) do not work in this rom. So if you need MMS lite, best to stay with 6.0 for the time being until this problem is solved.

I'm loosing faith in this unlocking methodology in JAPAN...PLS HELP
I'm starting to think there is no solution I have unlocked and uploaded and reloaded and re-unlocked, etc but still the same problem...My phone can not access the cellular network. I did a manual search and my phone does not acknowledge the JP Softbank network. I have put different kinds of ROM's and OS upgrades, etc, but still no success. I'm starting to think that these great unlocked PDA's only work in Europe and North America and not in JAPAN.
I have seen several other threads with others having the same problem so I am going to try to ask this question in several different threads.
I have no errors and everything works fine in the process, just like everybody says it does, but still nothing for acquiring a signal. It just either shows an exclamation point or searching dots. I have compared the various carrier options on my phone to other Softbank phones and everything is the same networks except acknowledging the Softbank network.
I'm praying there is some smart person out there who can figure this out...PLEASE...PRETTY PLEASE...

Sounds like a radio problem. Tried flashing to a different radio? See the Wiki for instructions. After upgrading to a new rom you should still be able to get a cell signal.

You are getting no signal at all? Can't make calls? I have flashed many roms and always have a signal after flashing. It unfortunately sounds like your phone has a serious problem. I would send it off to get repaired.

I'm a compulsive flasher but I have never been unable to access the network straight after a ROM flash. What radio do you have now? Probably the only way you're going to check if it really is a hardware problem is to install the standard SB ROM (Make sure you disable the re-locking program in the EXT_ROM before you do that - just soft reset when it tries to run the self config after setup, THEN delete the file from the EXT_ROM itself to stop Softbank from screwing you if they hard reset it.) You'll need to install that ROM if you want to return it for repairs anyway.
Is your SIM sitting OK? That caused me problems once before.

don't flash back to softbank yet....

Correct me if I am wrong, but if he installs the SB ROM it will lock his phone for good right? I think it upgrades the radio to the locked 1.14.01.10 If he does downgrade to SB 5 by extracting only the rom from the setup file, then I can't see it making a difference. He should either get a signal or not get a signal, right? I guess though, if it is unlocked and he sends it in for repairs it is going to come back locked in any event.

Wow...many thanks for support BUT still ???
See, I can not get any support from Softbank because I do not have a Softbank phone. The only pda they offer is the X01T HTC with a japanese OS. I have one but it was run over by a car... I can still access the data inside via activesync. Is it possible to copy a particular file from inside that phone to this one.
I bought a Tmobile WIZA200 from the states. Even if I carried it to Softbank, they will not take it because it is in English (&@*#). I am starting to think it is a hardware issue and hope I dnt get burned on this ebay transaction, but have read some other threads that Japan is difficult (like always). Security Nazi's is an understatement.
I relatively understand these replies but don't really wanna get stuck with a "fried" phone through trial and error.
Do I need a SoftBank ROM?
If so, will I be able to unlock it through the methods in this site?
Will the ROM from an X01T work?
My old X01T, I had it unlocked and changed to English OS but all the unlocking was code based....I never had to input a code in this WIZA200 so I think the person unlocked it before me and I was just doing redundancy...???
Many thanks for your input.

Sent you a PM.

It's moot since he's not got a Softbank phone anyway, but the ROM itself doesn't lock the radio in, a program in the EXT_ROM writes the 1.14.01.10 radio, and then changes the bootloader (I think) so you can't change the radio. It doesn't lock a previously unlocked phone - I know because I have the black model and foolishly loaded the new ROM that locked the radio in, but my phone is still unlocked and supercid, which I'd done before flashing the SB ROM.

I don't think so, but you have a Softbank SIM from the crushed phone, right? Was that damaged in any way?

btw, does this ROM works with MMSlite? or it uses SB original mail program?

Hmmm...It sounds like there are great minds working on this
I had a reply from another thread with the same question and they are having kind of the same problem...I have seen this is several threads. from Japan users with unauthorized hardware.

Is it possible to manually go in and change the radio to 1.14.01.10 and is that the right ?freq? (I hope Im understanding this right). Also, do you know which files these are exactly within the phone and is it possible to go into my old one, copy the right files, change some wording and paste into my WIZA200? Where did you get the SB ROM, etc...?

hey, links are dead....
can I get a link to the Japanese Forum or to the rom.
many Thanks

HTC s621

ok im a bit lost but here is my situatoin and question...
Sit: I bought a Unicel HTC S621 phone works fine, but i want to upgrade the Mobile version from 5.1
Question: Is there a way to upgrade this with a T-Mobile 6.0 or higher version as i am a T-Mobile Customer?
Ponder: Is this phone the same as T-Mobile Dash? just curious because it appears to be.

Hi my friend. I have an htc s621 from mexico telcel, there is a lot of t-mobile roms in the roms section you should take a look there. They are the same phone as s621 is american and s620 is european.
Greetings

Welcome to the forums

TY for the help i did read something, about unlocking CID... is there a way to tell if its unlocked?
i do know the SIM is unlocked as i have put my T mobile card into it and made calls and text with it in. So even tho its unicel phone i did get it does work with my t m sim.... i want to do this right, but am unsure if the CID is unlocked.

normally they come CID locked.
if you want to flash directly, turn off the phone, quit sd card and sim card and turn on the phone while pressing camera button, this will put your device into flash mode. Download a T-Mobile Rom and connect via usb, and run ROM update, if you get a error code then your device si protected or the model predefined is not the same as intended the update utility. You can "force" the ROM update using the tools that gmaniac2008 told you.
I like very much original rom, altough some cooked roms you can found in the rom section are very nice and have the latest windows mobile releases, lots of prebuilts apps and customizations.
in Official ROMS
you should install maybe this 1.22.531.6 (T-Mobile USA, WM6) because contains some configurations like mms, gprs, etc. from your carrier (to install this try the past method if dont works then you have to read more to force install)
A good choice if you want to try a custom rom, and they have autoinstaller (just need to quit sd and sim and turn on the phone, connect to usb, and run the utility. The utility is autoinstall.

Thanks for the help and guidance to the right ROM but one big problem, there is no romupdateutility.exe file in the .rar file i downloaded so how the heck do i get the update utility?
oh btw if it matters im running windows 7 x64

Just download the files, they contain te rom update utility. Just have to run.
Better if you make the update on Windows XP x32.
Take a further read on FAQs thread. Official updates (rom updates utilities) looks like RUU_EXCALIBUR_bla bla bla.exe
RUU_HTC_S620_bla bla bla.exe or
RUU_HTC_s621 etc etc etc
