I have a Blue Angel as mentioned in my signature and I have what I believe are all of the files needed to try and install WM2005 Build 14326.0.0.0 onto it.
Here are the WM2005 files I currently have:
HimaUpgradeUt - 512KB - 5/5/2004 4:54PM
nk.nbf - 32,769KB - 3/21/2005 9:08AM
And the following came from my existing ROM:
ms_.nbf - 16,833KB - 2/3/2005 7:45PM
radio_.nbf - 4,097KB - 2/3/2005 7:45PM
I also have a good copy of ActiveSync Beta 4.0.0 and have all of the instructions that were made in the main WM2005 post for installing on the Himalaya and I'm assuming it should be the same for the Blue Angel.
My device info currently reads:
Model No: PH20A2
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 Build 14132
ROM Version: 1.36.00 WWE
ROM Date: 01/13/05
Radio Version: HA00_140
Protocol Version: AA3.3.301
ExtROM Version: 1.36.110 WWE
Hardware Version: 0041
This is what it came with out of the box, I have not installed the updated ROM Audiovox released the day the phone was released because I have never had a single problem and some people who upgraded reported problems and that some files were a day older than the version that shipped in the original ROM.
-------------------
Now my 1st question, the newest updated ROM installer package from Audiovox which was released 3/4/2005, has a different version of the upgrade utility, it's called "HaUpgradeUt - 424KB - 12/23/2004". The package it was included in from Audiovox's website was called "HA_SPCS_13600_113_00140_6600". Which upgrade utility is the best to use or does it not matter?
Now my 2nd question, has anyone yet tried this on a Blue Angel? Is there anyone here who really knows thier stuff who is willing to help me if I get lost or screwed up so I can be the Blue Angel WM2005 test pig?
Thanks!
hi
i have a pda2k with 1.33 rom and radio rom 1.08 and my cooked rom
i tried the upgrade but got the device authentication error.. tried it with the explained patch and the other method in original wm2005 post.. the himupgrade starts the procedure and then stops after some time saying an error occured..
but you go ahead and try it..may be you will do something differently and will succeed..
note: i have tried the xda 2 SE rom and imate jam rom and almost tried the alpine rom on my pda2k.. there is nothing you cannot revert back from
just incase if you are curious what happened after the above roms..my device didnt boot.... no problem...just unplug the usb port of the cradle and run a wwe rom made for xda 2s or pda2k ...everything will work then!
good luck..
keep us posted!!!!
in the above post: i mean unplug usb then replug usb and then run the BAupgrade utility....
can you upload hte 1.36 rom you have??? does your device have wifi and camera???
thanks

Where is the post for this "explained patch method" you are referring to? Also I'm considering the post titled "Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0 I can share" as the original WM2005 post so we are on the same page in our thinking on that one.
The ROM is a free download from Audiovox, I guess I could upload it though.
I'm assuming the BAupgrade utility is on this site for download?
My device does have the camera but no WiFi, it has EV-DO instead. It's a CDMA phone, not a GSM phone...
your running the Verizon EVDO version of the the BlueAngel a CDMS 1xrt yada yada device. Most new ROM images are made for GSM phones then latter altered to talk to CDMA modules. In this case I think ot only would you not have a "good" experience but would warn against it. Second BlueAngel devices have OEM driver for the slide out keyboard. You will most likely loose for sure its use with this new OS. This is why the only devices it is worrking on right now are non-hardwired keyboard devices. Also there seems to be a notable diff in the hardare implimentation between HTC based devices. What software might work with one may not at all or damage another. Sorry for the down news but I think unless you have a keyboardless device I would not recomend playing with it. Just my 2 cents.
What you can do though is grab some of the elements (image files) from the new OS in other threads here, and overwrite the files on your device. Kind of like adding crome package or racing stripes. still the same car, just feel new :wink:
Thanks for the input. I'm running the Sprint version, not the Verizon one, same difference though pretty much, lol. 2.5G Vs. 1xrt and both have EV-DO, and then of course the frequency of the Verizon digital and Sprints PCS, but yeah both CDMA
I really couldn't care less about the keyboard, I don't even use it, never really have. Honestly, I work for CompUSA and if this thing gets buggered up I'll just exchange it out. I'm going to do a full backup tonight, hard reset, dump the existing ROM and then start the process just for grins to see how it goes. As long as it's not dog slow, text messaging works and email along with voice functions I'll be happy as heck. It'll atleast be fun to screw with and then I can always go back later.
I'm still unclear on some things like the country code and stuff that was mentioned in the other posts. Once I know I have all the facts and all of the files I'll give it a try and post back here. I'm off Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday so I'll have 3 days straight to play. I have to say my only real concern is it working with the CDMA radio which hopefully it will since I have a good copy of the latest Radio ROM for it...
hi 92GTA
yeah were on the same page..
wm2005 i can share is the original post..and i think page 10 has the answer (im not entirely sure though the post has now 17 pages!!!)
@ 92GTA : can you share this 2k5 ROM ? can you upload to a ftp and give us a link
bad :
read properly : he WANTS to install WM2005 on his IIs.
Why should you people go around risking your devices like this?
It's like putting diesel in a petrol car..things will screw up...
The 2005 upgrade currently available is only meant for XDA II devices, not IIs or II mini...or whatever. Hardware differences will render your efforts rather futile save for a massive hack.. Sigh.

already tried this guys, it doesn't work, the bootloader cannot read the CE image, nd therefore hinders the device useless, but i managed to flash back to 1.31 and all is working now.

Sign me up too, CMDA but my has 1x instead of EV-DO. I would be willing to try it.
Where on Audiovox is the 2005 rom?. All I've ever seen are the 2003se updates.
hi all!
i have my pda asus 632n in Chiniess language, need to change it to english at least. the pda's rom is V03.0616.00 CHS 0804. Red big ammount of forums, but those advices which were found don't fit new rom v.30616. On support.asus.com there are some roms for asus 632, but more older version (v.30607) Tried to hack upgrade tool.exe as some people offered, but nothing solved.
For info: the last rom for such as asus 63x goes with two files Update.cap 38,1 mb and Upgrade Tool.exe 19,5 kb. The last one is a romloader - checks language, version of current pda's rom before upgrade. The solution of upgrade is: format SD to FAT, put files above into root of prepared SD, plug SD into pda, execute upgrade tool.exe
When i do such way without hacking upgrade tool.exe, i'm told as language not match! if i hack upgrade tool.exe, then there is "your version is more older then pda's one" on the screen.
There was the thread in http://www.wormholecreations.com.au/wc/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=3969&start=81&posts=99, followed right direction of this topic, but it's holded for now
According to my expirience and words of others there is two ways to solve the problem:
1. Wait until new rom upgrade from asus support for v.30616 (may takes much time)
2. hack upgrade tool.exe to remove notice about version
Anyway, does anybody have expirience in hacking plz help to resolve the problem. I guess there are many people who you would help to!
any news, guys?

weltom's problem now solved, but it was a little tricky
It should be no problem to flash to english from russian or to polish from german, etc, just follow link above.
Erorrs may occure with chineese firmware and may be some other asian ROMs due to different file structure for such ROM-images.

Let me honestly thank oneiros eidos much for his help!! We have to help each other, that's why ask questions here and we altogether solve problems, or try at least.
Can you make it work with the latest update? The one that upgrades to WM6.
Thank you!
I'm receiving a lot of "can you patch that new upgrade tool"-letters.
Sorry, but, now, when i have already sold my A636... No, i can't.
Without device, i can't test my assumptions about "may be that way it will work", so i stopped trying to do anything with new "upgrade tool" utils.
Also, Asus have changed some things in their "upgrade tool", so old methods became useless.
The only thing, that i may advice to all, who really wants to patch that new upgrade tool, is to get latest version of IDA (Interactive Disassembler) and try to do it by yourself (or, may be, some of your frinends, who more skilled in such things).
P.S. As another option for some devices: first flash it from WM5 to WM5 with desired language, then flash to WM6. The only problem here is to find that old WM5 firmware.
Thanks for your reply to this forum Oneiros.
I've just downloaded IDA Pro v.5 and will try to dissassemble the latest Upgrade Tool by myself. I used to do lots of disassembling on PC platform, but never on XScale ARM platform. I just pray it is not that different from the one I know.
I will post my findings here...
Also guys, if you have links to old WM5 firmwares for A632, 636 and especially 639 (the model I have) if you could post them here, that would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sasovics
Folks,
I managed to download IDA Pro v5 and I was able to disassemble the old Upgrade Tool (for WM5) and I got the the same offsets as "oneiros eidos" mentioned on his web page, and manage to change the instructions to bypass the mentioned checks, but unfortunately I am not able to disassemble the new Upgrade Tool.exe. Either Asus has protected their file in some way or my disassembler doesn't do the job for this file.
If anybody has a suggestion, let me know.
Best Regards,
Sasovics
Little something about language check in new "upgrade tools".
If you look at disassembled executable, you'll see two interesting registry paths:
HKLM\nls\SystemLCID
HKLM\nls\DefaultLCID
I assume, that if you change both of them them to 1033 (english) with any hex editor, (may be Resco Explorer registry plug-in), and then try to flash, it may work.
Don't forget to write down the old value and restore it, if i'm not right.
Hi all
I tried to modify the registry values with Resco Explorer plugin, changed them to 1033 and restarted the PDA. It doesn't work. This is the message I see : "Open Upgrade image file Error".
Tested on A636N.
Greets.
Hi again
In fact, it partially works. You don't have to reset your PDA or the values you've just modified will be restored. Files have to be placed at the root of the SD card.
Then, when I launch the updater, I see a progress bar and my pda is reseted and restored to factory defaults
So it just reset your device but didn't upgrade to WM6?
Yes it does. I launch the updater, then I briefly see a page with a progression bar and it resets to factory defaults.

On my PDA it`s the same problem!
Can someone upload the CAB file? Without redirecting me to the Adobe website and Rapidshare (in others, please use the file attachment on this forum)
I am asking this because I cannot download it from my phone's Internet Explorer, cause when I go to the Adobe website to try to download it, it comes up with some sort of messed up code or something....really frustrating.
When I try to download it from rapidshare the download just says "Wait 0.8 minutes" and it just stays like that.
I am also asking for you to upload the CAB here because I do not of ActiveSync on my computer, and I do not have the administrator privileges it requires for me to download it. I have USER privileges not admin privileges.
Thanks, much appreciated.
It OEM version, registration is not necessary.
Hmmmm, it installs on my WM6 Dell Axim X51v (Football A03RTM) and puts a shortcut in the programs folder, but it won't run and gives me some crap message about being unsigned or missing components
Would I be correct in assuming that it was simply not meant to be used with my device?
It for HTC devices, as well works on mine ASUS P525.
As to DELL - I do not know.
========================
Pay attention, the files are more than 2 mb do not play, it is lack of the program.
Thank you so much Alex. I really think it's a pleasure to have people like you around, cause some people don't even bother to look at my threads.
Wish I could do something for you, like donate, but I'm just a kid, i dunno what to do
Dell Axim was manufactured by HTC for Dell. I guess this is different than most of the other HTC devices. Though several of the Apps ripped out of the HTC touch ROM worked for me.
I have come to the conclusion that this is not compatible with my Ax.
Oh well, worth a try.
I don't know if this is a different version, or not -- but you're free to try it and see.
Hi i Have the HTC s620 AKA (T-Mobile DASH)
and i can run the program itself but when i try to run flash pages from the Iexplorer program on the phone itself i get an error reading
:::FLASH LITE CAN ONLY PLAY BACK FLASH FILES THAT ARE CREATED FOR MOBILE DEVICES:::
I'm not sure why it wont play the video? Are there different flash files that are made to be compatible with the windows mobile 6 OS. I've run 3 different versions of flash lite even the ones on this forum but not sure if they will ever work to support videos via the web on my phone. any ideas?

Hi all - sorry about this, but I'm new to this. Got an Orange M700 - still running the original Orange branded WM5 OS: yup, Orange have mangled it. I've been reading the (many...many...many) threads and the wiki and... well I think I'm more confused than ever.
So, just wondering if someone can advise me on the best route to upgrade, and bear in mind I'm a graphics guy....
So, briefly
from the Orange WM5, is there a straight one-step upgrade to WM6?
What .cabs/versions should I be looking for? -> I know there are many you guys have tuned. I guess I'm looking for a fairly standard one? Unless you think otherwise!
Are there any major caveats (other than warranty/support invalidation)?
Need a little hand-holding...
Thanks in advance.
Hi, welcome..
I have M700 too, took the plunge a while back and loaded one of Mun's ROM's.
All I did was install activsync onto my pc and hook up the phone for the first time, once that ran its course I unplugged the phone powered down and removed the sim & sd card and then powered back up again.
Once up n running I plugged it back into the pc and ran the rom I had chosen, yes I was worried it might go wrong but I have to say it was and is very simple n straight forward. There is a WM5 Orange backup rom on here so if you ever did need to send back then you can flash this back onto the phone so it "looks" normal, tbh I'd doubt it would come to that.
I was using XP-SP2 at the time, not sure of anything different for Vista but that's where others here will put you straight, since then I have altered rom many a time and finally settled for Tom's Black'n'Blue - nice and fast and room to add what I want to add rather than be given. Oh and also update the radio rom to the latest version too, pretty much the same method.
Have a look at the roms and decide what you want Happy modding...
Only "gotcha" try and flash from XP, it is rumored to be problematic on a vista PC.
Also be warned flashing ROMs can be addictive, think i have tried 8 or 9 on my Trinity to find one i like, have yet to try the MUN one suggested in the previous post, looks like it will be next.
Ah, twas an early Mun rom and was WM5 - like I said the very first rom I'd flashed so I wouldn't flash to that now
Also realised why i hadn't tried it, i have tried several 6.1 ROMs and none of the WM6 ones. Probably will now i think about it though.
spv m700
Just joined the forum, thought I'd say hi.
I've just bought an spv m700 (following 2 years of the great spv m600), mainly because I wanted inbuilt gps.
The previous owner flashed it with Windows Mobile 6.1, I've yet to really test it.
First of all, I'm going to re-install all my Spb software (spb time, spb backup, spb mobile shell, etc) and transfer contacts etc via active sync.
If anyone has any advice or tips n tricks that you feel may benefit me, I'm all ears.
Cheers,
Matt.

First of all, welcome!
You have to know that the key to knowledge is searching, reading, and if none of those work, asking through posting!
So, happy enlightment and enjoy your device!
OK Monkeybox - hold out your hand - here's mine.
First thing - choose a ROM (sorry, you'll need to make your own choices). Judging by what you have said a LITE ROM would suit your needs.
I have tried most trinity ROMS. I like ADW's ROMs, am currently on Akeo's ROM but have tried LVSW, mUn, black and blue, PDAVIET, FInixNOver, ervius etc etc etc (Sorry if I've tried and forgotten your ROM!). Once you have your ROM, you should unlock the phone
1. (Hard-SPL - Service Providor Lock). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299659 This will enable you to flash a ROM with different carrier ID to you SPV M700. OK - Once you have hard-spl'd your phone, find the RUU (Rom Update Utility) exe file within the ROm that you downloaded.
2. Connect your phone (windows XP is best) using activesync and when activesync is connected, run the RUU Updater. The phone will switch off and go into "bootloader" (coloured bars on screen). If you get a connection error here, just run the RUU updater again. this time things should get going. When finished - your new ROM is installed - no more Orange!
3. Next update the Radio - search xda-developers.com using google for Trinity Radio - and choose 1.46 or 1.5x.
4. Install missing software (generally you'll need a GPS navigation software at least).
5. Enjoy.
6. If you like a ROM - donate to the cooker
7. Get a flashing addiction
8. Read all of the Kitchen threads
9. Cook your own ROM
10. Share it with us
11. Be eternally happy

Thank you, and all others who have responded, for your greatly appreciated advice! I've been trying to get my head around the process. Have backed up using PIM backup and settings saviour... and with your hand holding, am about to dive into the world of modding!
It's a little daunting for a newbie (and I really do mean a newbie!), but with everyones help, and this fantastic community as a resource, bah, watch me fly! (I'll probably be back tomorrow asking how I can de-brick the phone ;O) )
Thanks again all.
Cool. Upgraded to WM6.1 - Akeos latest black one.
Have to say the functionallity is 10 times better already. Upgraded to the latest radio too.
HOWEVER... and this is where the newbie kicks in, I can't seem to start any data sessions. IN COmm manager I don't have the option to turn the data connection on (this was also the same prior to the radio upgrade)
Don't suppose anyone knows how to resolve this do they?
As I say, taking my first steps on the modding ladder, and it appears I may have slipped...

You have to define your data connection from "Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, My ISP, Add new" according to your carrier (ie GPRS, 3G). Same goes to configuring MMS, just that you do it at "Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, My Work Connection" and you also have to define it in Arcsoft MMS.
You will not be able to start them from the CommManager as they connect on demand as needed, but you can STOP the in the CommManager when they are connected since they don't disconnect automatically.

Same goes to configuring MMS, just that you do it at "Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, My Work Connection" and you also have to define it in Arcsoft MMS.
You will not be able to start them from the CommManager as they connect on demand as needed, but you can STOP the in the CommManager when they are connected since they don't disconnect automatically.

Once more, thanks to all who've helped me over the threshold - the data connection must have been an issue with the signal, as this morning it was happy to connect to mms/internet via 3G/GPRS and HSDPA (which I didn't even know Orange supported).
Cheers all. Your help has been absolutely spot-on. It's refreshing to come to a community where you not only happy to help newbies, without the usual sarcasm or pomposity you find elsewhere, but you do so in a clear and concise way that really does help.
Thanks all. Look what you've gone and started now... !!!
One happy newbie stepping out into a brave new world...

have fun with your spv
I have a problem, and the more I search the forums, the more I worry it may be due to an upgraded Rom.
The original owner of the spv m700 I just bought has by the looks of it debranded it and installed WM 6.1:
Device name: HTC_P3600i
Model NO: TRIN100
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
ROM version 3.03.751.5
ROM Date: 04/01/08
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
With Tomtom 6 installed and seemingly working, the GPS receiver is not being detected. I have done what the forums say, i.e. selected "NMEA GPC receiver", get a screen with:
COM3: GPS in COM9
COM7: RIL on COM6:
S2410 IRDA
I have clicked on the first option (COM 9 is recommended), but still no GPS device found, indoors or out, after 10 minutes of trying
Like I say, much info says the above should solve it, but others say an upgrade can knock out the GPS and it needs to have a different ROM reinstalled. Never done this before, and there may be an easier solution?
Help anyone.... please.......?!
I'm not 100% sure but I think your radio rom needs upgrading to support GPS - I'm sure the one's that do have 11 at the end of them..
Really?? It would be great to finally reach a soultion!
Can someone verify if this is true and if so, what do I have to do??
Thanks.
Hi Monkey Boy and all.
I think I'm in a similar situation that you were...
The original owner of my new spv m700 debranded it, unlocked it (by flashing an old radio ROM) installed WM 6.1. I now fear that the reason tomtom detests no GPS device is because the radio may need updating too... (see below for the spec on my phone at the moment).
Have you discovered which is the best radio to update to?
Device name: HTC_P3600i
Model NO: TRIN100
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
ROM version 3.03.751.5
ROM Date: 04/01/08
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
All advice and recommendations welcomed. I have never flashed anthing before so this is all new to me, but I like to think I learn fast...
Thanks,
Matt

Original owner would have done this to unlock it, so all you have to do is search for the latest radio rom and flash that to your phone - there are guides how to do this in here..

Hey Trixter.
Thanks for the reply.
I managed to get in touch with the original owner and he sent me a link to an an .exe file which I downloaded, ran whilst activesynced to my phone, and voila! I now have radio ROM 1.50.08.11. Tomtom 6.03 now successfully works using settings "other NMEA GPS receiver" with "GPS baud rate 115200" and "GPS in Com9"!
I'm a novice and bought the phone as a "pimped up" spv m700. But I'm learning loads since joining thanks to people like your good self answering posts, so thanks.
Matt
Thanks to seeing your signature I'm sorted! If you read anyone else with the same problem, I hope my experience helps them.
Thanks again for your time,
Matt.

If you're having any problems with the links, let me know.
I'm not responsible if these ROM's brick your phone, they are the official downloads off the iMate website, they're unmodified.
Anyways, have fun

You see, sometimes, with this ROM, some of my hardware buttons (including the D-pad) refuse to work. But, whenever it happens, a simple soft reset sorts it out. I suppose you already tried that, right?
The next step, prior to reflashing, would be to perform a hard reset. By doing a hard reset, you'll lose all your data, and the device will return to its factory defaults. If you don't want to loose your data and settings, back them up beforehand, to be restored afterwards. I know of two full backup applications: SpriteBackup (the one I use), and SpbBackup. Besides, there is a very useful (and free) application which backs all your PIM up: PPCPimBackUp. Just search for it here at xda-developers.
To perform it by software means, tap on Start > Settings > System tab > Master Clear. It can be done by a combination of hardware keys too: press and hold both the blue Fn and the green Call buttons, and, at the same time, press the reset pin with the stylus pen (some people here replace the reset pin by pressing the Power button at the same time as the other keys, and it seems to work). A white screen will come up asking for confirmation.
If you still happen to have problems after performing a hard reset, then try to reflash. One of the steps of the flashing process will require you to enter the ROM lock code. If you bought your device with its original box, the ROM lock code is printed on a stick in it. Otherwise, you'd have to contact i-mate's support. The links on the 1st post seem to be dead, but the mirror ones on the 2nd post are still working. Just download the zip file which has '9502' in its name, unpack it to anyware you want on your PC, connect your device to it through the USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running. Then, double-click on the unpacked EUM SFX exectutable file and follow the steps.
Good luck!

Dear Carlos,
Really appreciated for your kind guiding!
As what you guided, i am on the way to follow it, and some more stupid questions need to through more:
1. I am having SpriteBackup v6.0.2 Build 2065, is this the lasted ver up to now? And does it back up all PM registered as before?
2. What is Reflashing? of course i have Rom lockcode now
3. Run ActiveSync 4.5 from PC and also activate Sync function on 9502, right?
Thank you and best regards, waiting for you reply soon too!

1. Mine was 6.2.2 Build 2280. It was newer than yours, but, from your question, I've just gone to www.spritemobile.com and found version 6.5.4.16 there. I'm presently installing it,
2. Reflashing is the process of updating the ROM on your device. For all recent i-mate devices, the EUM SFX application running on your PC will require the ROM lock code to procceed.
3. You must have ActiveSync installed on your PC. Its mobile version will automatically run on your device when you connect it to your PC. They will comunicate with each other in order to synchronize your PIM, media and other files you'll specify the first time they are connected.
Cheers!

Hey there,
Just a quick question. I've been looking for the WM6.0 English since quite sometime now but no luck.
Could you guide me where I could find the WM6.0 for 9502? If there is a custom version also I don't mind trying it.
Also would like to know if there is a WM6.5 version released for imate Ultimate 9502?
Thanks.

The stock WM6.0 ROM was really buggy. No wonder why i-mate hasn't made it available at their website. However, if you really plan to downgrade your device, I don't see other option than learning italian beforehand.
Regarding WM6.5, I'd like to flash it too, but, unfortunately, I don't know any cooked WM6.5 buids for our devices.
Sorry for not being able to help you any further...
Cheers!

In theory, you should press and hold 3 keys: the blue Fn, the green Send, and the Power buttons at the same time. When you release them, a white screen should come up asking for confirmation. You should confirm with the left softkey.
Nevertheless, the last time I tried it didn't work for me as such. I had to replace the Power button by the reset pin, i.e. it worked only when I pressed and held both the blue Fn and the green Send buttons, and, at the same time, I pressed the reset pin with the stylus pen. At the moment I released the buttons, the screen confirmation came up.
Good luck!
Carlos
