Cannot Downgrade to 2003SE - SX66
I own a SX66 Cingulair (USA) and I recently upgraded the ROM to WM5 but now having a lot of problems with it. I need to downgrade it back to 2003. I followed all the instructions in the link given in one of the posts above but the program MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe does not recognize my existing ROM or the new one and no update happens.
Can anyone help me please.

exactly the same here with SX66, but where did you get your ROM?
I also tried to apply SX66Upgrade.exe program which seems like WM2003SE installer, but this program says it cannot connect to device. I also was able to get nk.nbf from the temp folder and tried to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe with this one, but it goes to the final screen without actually reflashing PDA. PDA still has WM5 installed.
I made a backup copy of my previous Win2003SE ROM to a SD card and restored it now from file back to SD card, but cannot find the way how to initiate ROM restore from SD card. I've read instructions saying: Insert SD card, put PDA into bootloader mode, select to restore from SD card, but in my case I just see "Serial 2.07" after going into bootloader mode and nothing else.
Found a way to Downgrade
Hi all:
After so much testing in frustration I moved the new ROM file to PH20B folder in the WM5_pack_V3 folder and ran the program BaUpgradeUt.exe. Now I know for SX66 which is a PH20B1 device we are supposed to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in PH20B1 folder according the the downgrade link (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5)
I got the ROM from (http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/) which is version 1.40 and I am very happy with it. Before upgrading to WM5 I have unlocked this device using the unlocker program some where on this forum and I am not sure whether it has anything to do with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe not working.

Downgrade to WM2003 from 2005?
Hi,
I loked at this forum and want to do the same thing as described within the thread, but on a IPAQ RX1955 from WM2005 to 2003.
Not sure of the ROM I downloaded form the links on the page will work.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Hello friends,
I am not new but this is my first thread.
I have just bought a sim-free O2 Orbit from germany and it is working fine.
How can I turn the OS language into english? and I also get a failure connection to the internet since I arrived home in australia. it is 0x8007278.
Please the experts any advice is appreciated. thanks for sharing the science.
I was in the exact situation as you, this is how you change your ROM to English.
Get this program called USPL, it was created by a member of this bard called Bepe. Look on the first post for the program AND the instructions...read them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
What this program does is it unlocks the phones carrier lock so that it will take a ROM that is not OEM.
Once you have this, look for the ROM you want to run, I can personally recommend Bepes WM6 or WM6 Black and Blue v3.
Bepes rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309702
PDA Viet WM6 ROM (super freaking cool, way better than I thought it would be)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314568
Once you have these two things, put them all on the desktop for easy access, then run the USPL according to the instructions. You MUST have Active Sync installed, running and sync'd with your phone (plus its a great idea t have all your contacts backed up with Outlook). Once the USPL program has completed its process and the phone has restarted, you can then load any ROM you want. Simply plug in your phone via USB to your computer, then run the Rom Upgrade Utility that installs on your desktop when you download the ROM. It will show a progress bar, once you make it past 3 or 4 percent you know you are in the clear and the ROM will load right.
I cannot stress enough the importance of running USPL, if you dont you run an almost guaranteed risk of turning your phone into a cool looking paper weight.
If you follow these instructions, read a little in the Upgrading and the WM6 sections of this board, you will have an English phone in your hands by the time you go to bed tonight. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you need and help.
Oh and PS - For the data, once you have changed you ROM to English, you need to either find the settings or the CAB file for your data connection. Most of the time these can be found on your service provenders site, if not, run a search of this bard, almost anything you need - world wide - is on here somewhere.
THANK YOU Itschcase. your responce was brilliantly quick.
I was trying since yesterday. read most of the eplanatory threads. tried not to bother you again. but I am stuck at the USPL. after fist step the screen goes black or grey and the activeSync disconnects and it remains like that. if I continue the process nothing happened if I soft reset then continue I get error 270 "image file corrupted" and the pda reboots automatically and goes back to its state. tried 10 times. reinstalled my xp after formatting the computer. tried on my other computer vista . still no change.
any ideas please
I have a completely dead O2 Xda Zinc..probably caused by software...can someone tell me how to get to bootloader mode so I can try to update rom?..thanks

i have a similar problem with a dead O2 XDA Zinc...where do i get the abi file or can i make one from the wm6 upgrade file (Xda_Zinc_RM3070712_WWE_ExtV2.8.0.exe) that i download from the official website
the abi file can be found inside the exe but i dunno how can u extract it since if u use any extractor it will not give u the abi file ... also if u hv the raw rom & want to extract the rom also u will hv difficulty in extracting it
that is the problem that i am facing now
you can extract abi file from Xda_Zinc_RM3070712_WWE_ExtV2.8.0.exe by
1. connect o2 zinc with usb
2. flash your o2 zinc by exe file
3. when complete flash don't push finish button
4. select to view hidden files in folder that you put exe file
5. finally you will see marsii_g4.abi
goodluck & sorry my bad english
the .abi file in rapidshare

reset meaning soft or hard reset?
hard reset or soft reset both does not do any good to remove the error message "unble to open the registry key" and to just reload the orginal applications and remove the others
ehmmm ... sad to say maybe u hv to flash the rom
how do i flash the rom?
download the official rom from seeo2 and then make sure ur dev is fully charged ... sync it wz ur pc using active sync then execute the rom (.exe file u hv downloaded)
good luck
Hi guys,
I've already upgraded to WM6 for my Zinc, but I'd like to have an original ROM in case I need to flash back when something's wrong. I checked seeo2 but I can't find it.
Pls tell me where I can find this original ROM (WWE) ???
Thanks

You mean the WM5 ROM on seeo2? It's still an upgrade ROM, not the original that comes along with the device at the beginning.
Anyway, I'm a newbie so please advice how to 'downgrade' from WM6 to WM5? Is this similar to the process upgrading from WM5 to WM6 (you just sync the device with PC, run the .exe file on the PC and let it go)?
If it's not, please kindly give me detail instruction
Many thanks
Hello,
I've got an touch diamond with hard spl and windows mobile 6,5... but today my touch screen doesn't react on touching anymore so I need to send it for warranty. I had an backup of my original spl but I lost it installing windows 7...Now I need an original spl for my vodafone phone... Maybe someone can help me with this(I'm from holland don't know if that matters for the version of the spl...)
already many thanks...
Erick
Try searching on the Vodafone website for a Rom for your device, if you are able to find it then flash it, it will install the rom and radio, but the SPL will remain HardSPL. As the final step when you have your stock rom flashed is the SPL flashing, the SPL can be extracted from the Vodafone rom package with "nbh extract"... when you will have it follow the steps in the HardSPL thread where you can find the way to flash the original SPL...
Allright, I installed a new firmware from the internal storage because my touch screen doesn't work... now the only thing i need is the original bootlader. I tried nbh extract but it doesn't work on my windows? (windows 7) here is the link to my original rom http://www.vodafone.nl/Vodafone/wg2...igned_Diamond_52.44.25.24_1.08.25.08_Ship.exe
maybe someone can help me how to install the bootloader...(again I have no touchscreen anymore
regards and thanks already
heres how i envisage doing it.
you need to run jumpspl on your phone. I guess you can still run an OS and execute apps using the navi pad and action key.
if you have done the jumspl correctly your screen will rurn blank connect your phone to your PC and then you can flsh the original spl back!
i attach the jumpspl with instructions as well as the SPL.nb file extracted from the ROM which you posted the link to.
i did not recreate it as an nbh file as i do not know what model ID, country ID,Version and language your phone, is may be some one else can tell you! or if you tell me can build a flashable nbh for you!
i ask can some one else to please verify this procedure first, before you attempt doing it!
Well great thanks for the help but maybe you can make a flash file for me...the next thing is the problem, windows is installed and when you want to start windows you will need to tap te screen to run the standard procedure to allign the screen and set the date...I can't do this without touch and so i can't load any apllications how do i find the info that you need?regards
Can anyone tell me where to find:
ID, country ID,Version of my HTC touch Diamond??(without touch screen)
regards
alrright the next things i've found hope that it helps for creating a nbh file for my spl instead of the hardspl...
Country - The Netherlands
Dutch Language
Rom1.93
DIAM100
FCDID:NM8DMS
ok ive done it with the info you gave but i also used some of the generic info like Moel ID= Diam**** .... etc
the nbh is built but you should get confirmation off some one else before you proceed! i take no responsibility ! hope this helps
can somebody check/confirm this? Already many thanks! regards Erick
allright i installed it but it doesn't work still have got olinex spl...at this moment active sync is working maybe someone can help me out now?
regards
it wont work until you run jump sl properly! jump spl overides the write restrictions on the spl!
if you run jump sply correctly the screen will go blank as soon as you execute it!
then connect you usb cable and flash! (whilstthe screen is blank)
already thanks for the great help, JUMPSPL is running! now i try to install the rom with customruu and then copy the nhb you made for me in the same directory..only it still stays on olinex
CustumRUU says it is installed correctly and that it's finished...I think Jump SPL isnt working like it should, the screen is not turning black but it says that i can install the spl...I think the problem is that i can't alling the screen and windows is not fully loaded yet..?
regards
mmm, the problem is jum spl alright! im sorry i dont have a solution for you may be some one else can help! try searching i quiet sure i have read similar problems elswhere!
yeah the problems are there enough but no sollutions to it...I need the following thing...In the startup folder of windows mobile there is the welcome screen, i wan't to delete it so maybe i can go throug loading windows and then i maybe can load the jump spl...just to skip the allignment of the screen...but when i want to delete the files it says that i've got no autohority, also not with total commander, maybe someone knows anything to delete the files with active sync..?
regards and many thanks already to idristo
I've been reading this forum and the internet for about 4 days now,
hence I post this question...
I have an HTC P3300 (Artemis) and tried flashing windows mobile 6.5 onto the ROM..
it reached about 56% when the usb cable got unplugged and the flash failed.
I can get it into bootloader mode...
I'm from India and the original carrier was Idea.(I suppose so, because it had an Idea screen for a few seconds when the phone was switched on)
I used to use a Vodafone SIM, so I guess it was already CID unlocked.
Tried flashing various roms.. including the HTC windows mobile 6.0 worldwide edition, the t-mobile edition and the sprint edition from this site, after putting it into bootloader mode.
Windows Mobile Device Center will obviously not run, as the phone doesnt go beyond displaying this :
IPL 3.07.0001
SPL 3.07.0000
GSM 02.69.90
OS 1.27.0.0
I havent done a HardSPL and I suppose that the ROM flash only changed the OS ... everything else was probably the same.
I can't get mtty to work via USB....nonetheless, I have no clue how to use mtty.
Here are the filenames of the ROMs i've tried:
1. Evolution 23820 ...(downloaded off some site with windows mobile screenshots that got me all "WOW!")
2. Artemis Vanilla 2.0 WWE
3. ART_TMOUK_11311001_024990_WWE_Ship_R3.exe ..(T-mobile)
4. HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe ..(this one should have worked)
5. HTC_P3300_NLD_3.13.404.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe ..(this one's probably german)
6. Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 (some .uif cd image that i downloaded off rapidshare..about 65 MB)
7. Opal_WM6.5_D24_21901_COM2_WWE (I know I shouldn't have tried this, but this was my first attempt after successfully updating a touchviva to windows mobile 6.5, but I was a complete n00b back then..)
I tried all these ROMs mostly using a "ROM Update Utility" included with the package..
I also tried getting the .nbh files out and putting them on a 1GB microSD after renaming them "ARTEIMG.nbh" ...it used to say "Checking SD card".. and then would show the RGB bootloader again with :
IPL 3.07.0001
SPL 3.07.0000
Errors I received while flashing through USB :
1. Invalid Vender ID (390)
2. Connection Error (260)
it generally stops at 3%
What should I do now?
Thanks for reading.
ouhh doesnt look very good. but happens aaand can be solved.
try this:
Hardreset your phone
or reinstall the originalrom in bootmode: link
please keep care of the usb cable. or try to reflash your phone via sd-card. its very easy and less dangerous.
tried both
hard reset lands u to the same place.. HTC logo and IPL SPL GSM OS...
installing the rom from the link given ... shows a connection error(in bootloader mode)
and did you try to install another rom via sd card.
wihtout pc-connection?
You have to first unlock your device by uspl and then install the rom or simple way is by using sd card. Search the forum for upgrading Artemis by sd
ok, but how do i use uspl if all i can get to is bootloader mode?????
i thought that u need to have windows mobile running well to use uspl...
WM5 English ROM
Does anyone have the windows mobile 5 english rom for artemis?
I tried the french WM5 rom from rapidshare.. but it doesnt work...
I got it to work!!!!
thanks to all you helpful kind smart people at xda!
well.. you people kept me searching for answers...
i found the original rom at an htc south asia site.. windows mobile 6.0
the htc artemis p3300 is also called "dopod" on that site...
anyway... the only reason i couldnt get to it in the start was that it said the cellphone serial number i'd entered wasn't eligible for the update..
i just messed with the last few digits (interchanged them) and got it to accept the download...
that was plain lucky,...
but it wouldve never happened if i hadn't tried..
now.. i'm going to do an artemis uspl via windows mobile device center according to the guides on various fora..
thanks people!
i want to post the rom to some site so that people can get it even 3 years from now... (most of my links were all from 2007.. so the rapidshare downloads hardly ever worked!).. but i don't know how..
