dear ladies and gents,
i am new to this forum; i have been using my xda2 for 2 years now and i am more or less up to speed on the how to's. but i have a question on upgrading to wm2005. i deeply apologize if this topic has been discussed before and now here i am again bringing it up...but hear me out first.
i have downloaded ALL the files needed to upgrade to wm2005; the roms (version c) from buzz.net, the ramdisk, doctools, even the skins. so far i know only the following steps (i got this from xda2jojo's downloads). everything.
--------------------
5. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
6. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
7. Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
8. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
9. Detach your device from the cradle.
10. Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
-----------------------
i have successfully done this already but the storage is low. i have done reading and browsing on expanding the storage to 30-plus mb using ramdisk and the doctools. i would like to ask for assistance on how to use these. i read in this forum that you have to use doctools first? it is a little confussing.
please advise how to use these 2 tools together with the steps mentioned above.
again i apologize in advance because i know that this topic has been discussed so much.

you need to (got this from the forum):
1. Downgrade to WM2003SE (2.06 ROM) via PC method
BUT if you're already running WM2003SE then you don't need to do step one. But at the very least I think your ROM should be 2003SE.
2. Install Extended_ROM Unlocker
3. Unlock the Extended_ROM (but don't click unhide)
4. Copy the Hima_DOC_Tool.exe to the Temp folder on the device
5. Run the Hima_DOC_Tool.exe
6. Perform a soft reset only (not hard reset)
7. Checked the new size (30.07M
8. Upgraded to WM2005 (1.60b.96) via PC method
it worked for me. you may want to also refer to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28801
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=42
these will more or less answer other concerns you might have.
in my case i didn't use ramdisk...but it worked well for me and i'm still using wm2005.
cheers

IT WORKED!
Thank you very, very much for your post! After some experimentation I was finally able to solve the storage problem based on the guide you gave me!

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I am stuck at a dead end.
tried to upgrade PDAL ROM to 3.0 (from 2.01)
Got a blue i-mate screen never went out of it.
tried all the hardreset tricks, no use.
tried to reinstall RUU with activesync, no use.
What else can be done?
for example, would it be possible to delete the ROM totally and reinstall it? how?
Appreciate your comments
regards
sy
I have the same problem
Would anybody be able to help, please reply to us. Thanks!
I've just spoken to the customer service from i-Mate. This issue can only be resolved by their service centre. So, no any simple solution so far.
Please be aware when you want to upgrade it.
my device is in service center for 7 days and they could not come up with a solution. I hope it is because they did not start working on it yet
1. Download Romupdate v1.11a
2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.
4. Run Romupdate v1.11a (from downloaded)
5. from left top corner drop down menu Port: Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM1 try unplugging the USB and replugging it)
6. press OK button
7. type "set 14 0" without the quotes in blank window that showed up to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
8.press enter to execute
9. on next line you will see:
HTCST ÚÈÒHTCEUSB>
10.type "task 28" (no quotes) right after > sign to get your device formatted
11.press enter to execute, you gonna see:
DOC_format_HW+
DOCInfoTableinitHW+
Binary0:dwSize=80000
BINFS0:dwSize=0
FAT0:dwSize=1000000
FAT1:dwSize=2BA0000
All:dwSize=3C20000
USB>
12. type "task 0" (no quotes) right atfter > sign to ask your device reboot
13.press enter to execute the command
14. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
good luck.
hi
wher i can find the Romupdate with arabic or without
and
how i can hard resit from the key not from system
th
Don't think mtty will work as PDAl is not an HTC device..
dear gun
thanks for your info but i want to ask you a Quastion from where i can get the driver for pdal in bootmode (rndis omap730)
thank you
PDAL Problem
I too am facing the same problem with my PDAL. I upgraded the rom version and now am just getting the initial blue screen with the imate details. Please help in solving this as i just cant seem to be going forward. Any ideas how to get the device booted up and working .
response to the above two question
1. How to enter Bootloader in PDAL?
I inquired the service people and was told it can be done by pressing power button and left soft key simuteneously and tap the reset hole. I have tried and it did work.
2. Any solution for not passing the welcome screen?
It seems there isn't any solution, other than sending to their service centre. It will take a long time. My phone has been there over 2 weeks but I was told they are still awaiting part. I guess they will replace the main board.
3. PDAL isn't HTC device?
I think it is. The code with HTC should be Pean. The service centre also listed it as HTC device. But I am not sure if MTTY can work.
How to enter Bootloader in PDAL?
my phone alwys login blu scren then restart
Im pressing power button + left soft key and tap the reset hole but not wok in Bootloader !!!
Flashing your Imate PDAL
Dear All,
I Have enough experience of Imate PDAL , It's too simple , just follow the steps below:
1- got any ROM version from Imate website "www.clubimate.com"
2- Format your Imate flash card using your PC ( use any USB card reader matches the size), "FORMAT WITH FAT OPTION ONLY , DON'T FORMAT WITH FAT32 " and keep it connected to your PC for now.
3- prepare your PC to show all hidden files using "folder option " from your PC control panel, without this you will not be able to access the below in step 5>
4- run the EXE ROM file of Imate Rom on your PC but don't follow the steps on the screen , just keep it waiting for an action)
5- now browse your PC ( go to your windows Temp folder in the boot sector of your windows " Example C:\Documents and Settings\Magdy\Local Settings\Temp"
6- Click your the right button of your mouse and chose ( arrange Icon by Modified )
7- go to the the last folder in the list and open it , you will find the following files inside that folder " CoolFlash_Comms.dll , GotoBL.exe, RUUShop.exe,WMIPL.DIP,WMUPDAT.DIP "
8- Mark the last two files "WMIPL.DIP,WMUPDAT.DIP" and copy them to your Flash Card , now you are ready to flash your mobile using your only flash card.
9- insert the flash card in your Imate PDAL , remove the Battery for 5 seconds and install it again .
10- now Press the two Bottons (Left button " above the green handset button" + Power Botton ) , the mobile will start flashing your mobile , after completion your mobile will restart automatically.
Enjoy
Hint: some other roms of Imate Pdal " Like the Chinese WM6 one " doesn't need the WMIPL.DIP file , it needs only the WMUPDAT.DIP to flash the device.
The above is safe and would not damage your Device but know that " NO DATA WOULD BE RECOVERED UNLESS YOU HAVE A BACKUP DATA FOR IT, THE DEVICE WILL BE AS FACTORY DEFAULT"
Hi Magdy, sorry for my english but i'm italian...
i bought a PDAL with english language (the seller said me that was italian ), so i would like to flash it in italian...how can i do? Is no problem to flashing, but i don't have any rom and I don't know hoe to retrieve it from the web...
In your experience, is possible to copy the italian rom from an italian PDAL (of my friend) to flash my pdal?
Is there a version of WM06 (also in english) avaiable?
thanks for all
1.download Romupdate v1.11? where?????????
Me too, where can i get this romupdater utility? and does it work with PDAL?
Thanks Magdy your procedure working fine
THANKS A LOT
For windows VISTA => C:\Users\YOUR ACOUNT\AppData\Local\Temp\is-KT0IV.tmp
Thanks for your post Magdy ! Works 100%
Greets from Romania !
Sorry for going off topic but my intentions are just to inform you guys that I just finished translating Chinese WM6 rom to English, I also added some packages and tweaked it to perform batter...
I made this rom for myself as I was unable to find and Eng WM6 rom for my PDAL and WM5 was out dated, but I also wanted to share it with you guys so that you can also enjoy using English WM6 on your PDAL devices.
So follow me.... PDAL_WM6_WWE_CellSmith.zip
dear magdi thanx alot working for me...
Hey guys
I know there's a post nearly the same like this one allready, but i'd like to have a "how to reanimate" and not have the ppl to read 300 posts. The idiot i am i upgraded MDA with USB Hub and disconnected by accident while upgrading....
So here the steps to do
1. get out SD card and SIM
2.try to fix it with another flash, if doesn't work, step 3 (if computer reconizes your universal with active sync DON'T CONTINUE THIS TUTORIAL)
3.try mtty.exe (open active sync, uncheck usb conn, close active sync, terminate wcsmm.exe in task mngr)
4.now put universal in cradle, open mtty.exe
5.where Port1 is, change to usb, connect
6. (don't copy/paste) press "return", enter "set 14 0", press "return"
7.enter "task 28", press "return"
8.enter "task 28 55aa", press "return"
9.close program, disconnect from cradle
10.backlight+power+reset connect to the cradle
11. use ORIGINAL software to update RADIO only, it should work now, or try RUU_TMO_Radio_11200_GER_20060616.exe (http://rapidshare.com/files/97208659/RUU_TMO_Radio_11200_GER_20060616.exe.html)
http://festplatte.aon.at/a/filemanager.get/1710719/RUU_TMO_Radio_11200_GER_20060616.exe
12. upgrade With full version, radio, bootloader and winCE
13. hold both "-" "-"-keys and "reset"
14.WAIt, the screen looks black, maybe it takes 5 minutes, but it worked again =)))))
I did it, after 3 days of trying, thats why i'm so happy =)))
hope it will work same as it worked
This is a friendly warning to people who are new to the site/new to the thread.
There has been a LOT of unnecessary posts recently from people who cannot be bothered searching starting HERE ON PAGE 59 POST 581 onwards.
I will simply not reply or reply with "Search". Why should I help when people cannot be bothered ATTEMPTING to help themselves?
Also anyone thinking of asking either of the following questions:
1: "After task 29, I get this output in MTTY: Total Bad Block in CE: x"
2: "After task 29, I get this output in MTTY:
ERASE block xxx FAIL !!!
ERASE block xxx FAIL !!!"
(where x is a random number)
This has been asked 100+ times in this thread so this is the final time I will answer:
IT MEANS NOTHING..NADA..ZIP! I have not experienced ANY problem with this output...Please stop asking!
There is a LOT of information in this thread. All you need is the first 4 posts or the search button OR if it is a GENUINE problem post it and I will help!

Hi,
Over the last couple of weeks, as all of us flashing junkies are continuously flashing devices there has been an increase in "Strange Problems" which to all intents and purposes are just “clog ups” and “bad flashes”
As we all know MTTY is the key here, but I can say from personal experience that this small piece of software is a MASSIVE pain in the ass to get working, i must have tried 15-20 different “recommended” procedures to get it work and all failed.
But I managed to find a failsafe method of getting MTTY working on Vista AND Windows 7, also x86 AND x64!! (I have all 4 windows installations and the methods detailed below worked on all)
NOTE: WORKS WITHOUT DRIVER INSTALL ON XP
If for some reason you cannot got this to work on XP do the following: (Thanks kgerry!!)
kgerry said:
Hi,
if you run XP and you have Problems to connect to USB try following:
1. Launch ActiveSync on PC
2. Go to connection settings
3. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection
4. bring the device to bootloader.
5. Now, run mtty ...
... try again to switch from COM1 to USB and follow the instructions of perfect post 3
Hope it helps ... Kgerry

Driver Installation
Pre-Cursor To Driver Installation – FOR EVERYONE (x64/x86 Vista/Win 7)
This will remove the need for users, x64 in particular, to use “Unsigned Drivers.” Also since in Vista SP2 (x64 & x86) they removed the “F8” options Completely!
Files Needed:
Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider
Remove Watermark V0.8
1: Run the Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and select “ENABLE TEST MODE” and Press Next
2: There will be a warning to REBOOT, Press “OK”
3: Go Back to Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider Select “Exit” then Click “Next”
4: Run the “Remove Watermark V0.8” for you OS type (x64 or x84)
5: In the Command Window type “Y” and wait for the process to complete
6: Once complete REBOOT your system and begin the driver install
NOTE: If you DO NOT complete the above, some users will need to press "F8" During Bootup - (ANOTHER NOTE FOR x64 USERS, EVERY TIME YOU NEED TO USE MTTY YOU MUST REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER, HIT F8 AND SELECT: "START WINDOWS WITHOUT DIGITALLY SIGNED DRIVER CHECK")
For Info See Post Below:
Reb0rn said:
I must just say that u might have to watch the x64bit drivers if they are digitally signed... Cuz neither Vista 64 nor Windows 7 64 will let u load or start those drivers if they are not digitally signed.
IF that the case and if u have installed the driver but it says that it has stopped it due to the driver not been Digitally signed u have to start windows vista/7 in "ignore digitally signed drivers" mode.
When u start the computer, keep hitting F8 and it will prompt you if u want to start in safe mode bla bla and in the bottom of that list there is an option that goes something like this:
Start Windows without Digitally signed Driver Check... or sumthing like that...
This is only if u have problems with the x64 driver... like i did...
BTW... u made a beautiful how-to man. Great job!

Big thanks to maybeme for providing a host for the images!!
1: Download the relevant drivers for your system attached to this post: these work for both Vista and Win7, all you have to choose is x86 or x64
EDIT: It has been found that with different versions of Windows 7 x64 need different Active Sync Drivers... If you are using Windows x64 please try x64 AS Drivers Win 7 Tested & Working.zip FIRST!!!
2: Connect Device to PC via Active Sync, Once Connected Uncheck USB Connections,DISCONNECT DEVICE then Reboot Computer
3: Bring device into bootloader (Reset + Hold Vol Down), This will show the Red, Blue, Green screen showing "Serial" - Once Computer booted, connect device in bootloader mode to USB, the word "Serial" will change to "USB"
4: Go to "Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager" and select Microsoft Usb Sync in Mobile Devices section (NOTE: This MAY say HTC USB Sync but as long as you select your device!!):
5: Right Click and Select "Properties" then go to Driver tab, then Select "Update Driver"
6: Choose to "Browse Computer For Driver" (the second option):
7: Select "Let Me Pick From A List...." (the second option):
8: Click "Have Disk":
9: Select the folder with downloaded driver From Step 1 and select "wceusbsh.inf" (this is the same file for x86 & x64):
10: You will get back to previous screen, then click Install
10a: WINDOWS 7 ONLY - The Below Warning will appear, Select "Install anyway":
11: The drivers will be successfully installed:
12: When you get back to "Driver Properties" check driver version. If the "Driver Date" has changed from 2nd step (2003 instead of 2007), the installation has been a success:
13: Lastly leave the device connected and in "Bootloader" and reboot you system. Upon Rebooting an "Unknown Device" is installed, this is your HTC device.
Now the Active Sync Drivers are Installed

Very good to have a MTTY thread that rounds everything up!
Good job and thanks for all the effort!
i must say this is the reason i got my old rom working and stuck with it without wanting to upgrade. this happened to me, and for about 4 days or more the phone kept crashing and needing a hard reset. even changing roms or reloading the same rom didnt fix.
i tried the MTTY thing and it was difficult to get going.
i personally really appreciate writing all this up, because now i will probably go and try another rom, with this thread in the back of my mind if things start acting up.
so thanks!

To be honest, i have NEVER experienced the issues that require MTTY! I have always just flashed from internal storage and never had an issue.
I wrote this because i just wanted to get MTTY working incase i ever do experience it!!

No problem, I personally got sick of trying loads of instructions to have them fail!
Most of my failures were due to drivers and improper installation!

MG, great thread thanks....
I am wondering whether you have any idea what happened to my Diamond, and what could I have done to save it (it is now with HTC).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539958
I didn't do the "Driver Installation" part you described in your procedure, although I could still see the "USB" option in the dropdown, can that be where I went wrong?
Would also like to check how come recently there seems more flash problems reported? I myself have been flashing for some one year or so now... and never had a problem till now... I would like to get back to flashing again once my Diamond returns (hopefully), but now I am not sure I would since I am not sure what I did wrong to cause the problem to start in the first place.

Possibly, i really would suggest running throught the entire thread if you have a brick.
reinstall the drivers, using the ones i have posted, also use the MTTY i have posted.
also USE the exact commands i have posted (i.e. not "task 28", use "task 28 55aa")
then after the MTTY format, HARD-RESET your device then to clear anything else off, then in your case, flash from the PC not internal storage.

Personally i have never experienced (touch wood) these flashing problems, i have consistently flashed from internal storage and NEVER via USB.
personally this is where i think the problem resides, with leftover data from USB flashing logging up the devices.
as there are more "Bloated roms" (i.e. ones with loads of nice but useless software) this is also causing the problems.
having said that i use possibly the most bloated rom about, the NRGZ EnergyROM series!! i swap between this and the BSB, im more drawn to the BSB at the moment as there is more storage and ram free.
but as i said this is only my opinion and not verifiable facts! (i could be totally wrong!!)
MG, thanks for your replies... unfortunately I am not able to try the "task 28 55aa" now that I have booked my phone in This thread however, will no doubt be useful for more others in time to come!
Hmmm... the strange thing is that after ive had these problems i have to use MTTY as soon as i must flash another ROM then the one i already have in...
But as i said... no problems as long as it works

I dont have XP, but i guess not, i have never heard of people having a problem with MTTY on XP.
Just disable USB connections in active sync, reboot your system and start MTTY.
If there s no USB option you may have to find the XP Active Sync Drivers and follow my method, but using the XP drivers.

Please help me with this issue! (Device HTC touch diamond P3700)
I was following the the post The DEFINITIVE MTTY Thread!! REVISED 02-11-09 and now my HTC is dead. This is what I have done:
HardSPL 1.40 OliNex
Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider
Remove Watermark V0.8
x86 Active Sync Drivers (using windows 7)
Download the ROM, rename to DIAMIMG.nbh, save in Internal Storage, not in any folder.
comes to Mtty:
Press enter for CMD>
type set 14 0
type task 29
type task 8
(I think this is where the problem is)
Immediately DISCONNECT your device and hold "Vol Down and Back" (Back = Small Arrow above "End Call" Button) to Initiate ROM Flash
I did it when the TOUCH DIAMOND logo displayed on the screen, on the computer was at the CMD> displayed after CMD> task 8.
but my HTC just freeze at the TOUCH DIAMOND forever, nth like ROM flashing happened, never boot into windows mobile, I did soft reset and hard reset, didn't solve the problem.
Everytime I switch it on, it just stays at TOUCH DIAMOND, so what did I do wrong and how to bring my HTC touch DIAMOND back to life please?
Many thank very much in advance!

you have to flash a rom...open the diamond in bootloader mode and start RUU from the pc
edit:i didn't read that you have flashed a rom...
So when you do a soft reset while holding Vol-Down only, does it boot to the screen with color bars when it says TOUCH DIAMOND? Or is it a splash screen? Or just text on a blank background?
If it's the color bars, you should be able to reflash via USB.
If it's a splash screen, you're not holding the Vol-Down properly (or fast enough) when resetting. Try holding Vol-Down before reset.
If it's a blank background, I have no idea what you can do.
Now, for some reason, I managed to bring it back to working condition by flashing the OFFICIAL ROM.
and now I would like to flash the ROM I download from this forum.
so after task 8 in mtty, what should I do really? should I press the keys after the CMD> pops up? or should I press the keys before CMD>?
Many thanks for the advices
after task 8, basicly you should do 3 steps at once !
1. pres enter in mtty program to initiate reboot
2. disconnect phone from usb port
3. press (and HOLD!) vol down and back arrow until flashing starts (ofc if ROM you wanted is in internal storage called diamimg.nbh)
after this phone will say press power button if you are sure, of course you are, you dont have rom!
just sit and wait
Yup, follow vicai's steps exactly. It kinda sounds like you didn't press enter after typing task 8.
As long as you press vol-down and back while the screen is still black during the reset, you're fine.
