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.

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,
I have got confused with the various bricked posts, misnamed WWE update posts etc.
What I would like to know is the following:
1. Does the imate update (english) work on the MDA Pro?
2. Does anyone have the original T-Mobile version for returning it to the release T-mob version?
3. Does doing an upgrade invalidate my warranty with T-Mob?
My issue with current roms is that the device crashes at least once a day, and I am getting fed up with reboots.
Thanks,
Joe
It works fine with the MDA Pro, I have mine running the JASJAR Rom.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/MDA_PRO_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
Download that, it has the No Device ID exe.
hi, did the ROM change speed up your MDA pro in any way? also does the video calling feature still work.
This really interests me too.. Any answers out there please?
P :?:
Mine does seem a little quicker, especially after overwriting the iMate supplied .tsk files for the homescreens.
WiFi a *bit* more stable, but not perfect.
So... If I download that file, unpack it onto my UK T-Mobile MDA PRO and run it, I will have the latest software on the MDA PRO?
Are there any 'issues'?
Will I lose any data\ programs\settings etc.?

You run the install from a PC, having put the phone into "bootloader" mode. As far as I know, its a newer ROM version than is supplied with the MDA Pro, and also doesn't contain the T Mobile customisation. It DOES include MSN and Skype as standard, as well as a couple of other bits.
It will totally wipe your phone / settings, but if you select T Mobile UK after you install the new ROM, most of the T Mobile settings are reconfigured for you. You just have to do the 3G one yourself, but the details are in another thread (possibly in the main Universal area of this forum).
Imate produce regular ROM upgrades for their other phones, so it is likely they'll release a new ROM before Orange / O2 / T Mobile manage it.

Just got the MDA pro. How do i upgrade the Rom? I dun really understand how to go to the registry as well? Any help?? Really appreciate it. Thanks.
The link for the update i mate jasjar rom is not working??
Someone moved it :roll:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
Newbie in need of help.
Thanks for the ftp link. Regarding about getting into the registry? How do i do that? And how do i update the rom.
I got some problem with my mda pro sync with my laptop?
It say cant detect the device. I cant install the driver either. Anyone have the same problem with the mda pro or only me?
Do anybody know how can i unlock the mda pro?
Thanks.
Reply really appreciated.
unlocking mda pro
Hi, I think the only way to unlovk the MDA at present is via the subsidy code from T Mobile. In the UK you can only do this after you have completed a month on contract and t mobile will charge you 15 pounds for the priviledge. On 02 the devices come unlocked for any network.
with ref to the ROM update to WWE jasjar, this is an absolute must for ALL t mobile users. I can confirm things are stable all round, but don't expect you can get away from those periodic resets - M$ seem to have built in this feature in all pocket PC OS ! - yes I am calling this a feature of the OS now.
Look around on the forums here on how to flash there are some very good posts about.
Remember, most important if you want stability only install essential software.

Mda pro usb activesync problem
Hi thank for the reply. You mean i should change it to the jasjar rom which is the link above? I am new to pda phones and need some help.
I cant connect my device to my laptop using usb. It say device not detected.
I install the software and it should work rite. Is there something i didnt do? I read the manual saying install the software then have sync relationship with the pc and device. How do i sync the relationship? Do i just plug in the usb to my laptop then it will automatically detect my mda pro?
Help. Thanks.

Do you mean you have had your phone fixed by O2??? If they're flashing repaired phones with WM6 hopefully we're not too far away from them releasing it to everyone...
O2 are now shipping Orbits with WM6
We got some orbits in last week and they were WM5, the ones that arrived today are WM6
is there an official O2 WM6 upgrade available for download?
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
ok people it's here
I can confirm that OK UK when you get your dda back from been fixed have the WM6 Rom installed i got mine back today however it had been ready for almost 2weeks but due to me been in Spain on holiday couldn't get it. So woo go get it lads
damn it the server has gone down under heavy load!
Can someone please upload the O2 WM6 Rom ? I don't have a valid Serial number
you'll have to wait it out...the download is down for now. Once someone has downloaded and posted on Rapidshare and provides the link - its for you to use...
don't think anyone will give out their serial number like that !
yes its server is down can some one upload it if you dont mind
Wehey, finally they have released it, as soon as the download server goes up again I am going to reflash.
Download Using Ie7
It Works!!!
I Spoke To O2 Today They Said Update Was Unavailable Till Further Notice!! I Was Using Firefox
No O2 You Wont Beat Me Tried Ie7 Budabing! I Now Have Wm6!!
I Have Phoned Them Back And Said To Add That You Should Only Download Through Ie7!
All I Keept Getting On Firefox Was About My Serial Number Begin Wrong Try Ie7 And It Works!! Nuff Said

I bought my Excalibur from a carrier in Mexico called Movistar, but, as I explored the USB settings on Windows when my Excalibur was plugged, I found that the device appeared connected with the following name:
High Tech Computer - SPV C400 / T-Mobile SDA GSM / GPRS Pocket PC
Does this mean that my Excalibur is officialy branded for T-Mobile???
If so, a T-Mobile original RUU would work to flash my Excalibur right???
Could you post a rapidshare link for T-Mobile's original ROM???
I'm desperate, I bricked my phone and I can only get it back by flashing it with the original ROM, please, hurry and anwer!!! I BEG YOU!!

Doesn't tmobile ask for the IMEI number before you can download upgrade?
is wm 6 from tmobile ok?
i have wm 6 upgrade from tmobile if that helps. Not sure how to get it to you
e-mail
[email protected]
But the one I really need is the original 1.15.517.1 that came with my Excalibur...
...I tried a TMO US WM6 ROM but no luck... anyway, I'll take whatever help you can provide!!
Appreciate it!
Tip
velascoperroni if I were you I would just return the phone already. You might want to just accept defeat.
You screwed yourself by flashing a WM5 to a WM6.1 rom before flashing to a WM6. From what I read you must have been impatient or somehow your usb cord unplugged itself during the middle of a flash of the HTC WM6 1.33 rom. It's now stuck and a brick. I've read more posts like this than I can remember. The golden rule to modding is doing a backup before you do anything. Sprite mobile would have been the way to go. Especially with your not so easy to find original rom. I'm not trying to be harsh or mean but lesson learned. Now go return your phone while you still can.
Best regards...
NOOOOO!!!
I will never give up!!!
No, really, I'm seriously considering it... In fact there was a problem with the USB connection when I was flashing it!
Yeah, I should have backed up my original ROM, but to be honest, it never crossed my mind (I didn't even knew about it or how to)
Today I wen't to Movistar and they gave me several HTC service centers here in Mexico, I suposse they may have the original ROM and they may get it fixed but I'm afraid technichians here in Mexico won't have a clue (it has happened to me before that they have no clue and I know more than them for just what I read in the forums, i.e. xbox modding)
Also, I'm worried I voided my warranty... Today I told Movistar about nothing, I just asked for the service centers addresses. What could be a good excuse? "I was listening to music while bluethooting and playing solitarie and it went blank"?
Now, there may be one last way to go: You mentioned sprite mobile for backing up the original ROM, is it too intrusive and/or hard? I can get a hold of a friend's Movistar Excalibur to backup his ROM and use it on mine (it's exactly the same) but I don't wanna screw his phone up and end up with two bricks (specially because he really is a friend of a friend). Is there a tutorial around here? would you (or some other helpfull reader) post it on this thread?
Last but not least, I want to thank everyone that has tried to help, besides a bricked Excalibur I got great knowledge about CID, upgrading, flashing, phone carriers, etc. Three days ago I had no idea and I thought upgrading to WM6 would be a piece of cake! I hope all my posts and your answers would be helpfull for al noobs around with problems alike!
Nonetheless everything posted above: If someone has a 1.15.517.1 original ROM from Movistar or T-Mobile or O2... please, pleaaaase.. I BEG: send it to [email protected]
i THINK I BRICKED THE PHONE, I TRIED TO UPLOAD THE ROM AND THE FILE WAS CORRUPT SO IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROCESS NOW THE PHONE FREEZES ON THE HTC SPLASH SCREEN AND CANT CONNECT TO ACTIVE SYNC SO AM I STUCK TRYING TO MAKE A GOLD CARD TO MAKE IT WORK...I DONT KNOW WHERE I WOULD GET ACCESS TO ANOTHER DASH WITHOUT BUYING ONE
I ALSO HAVE TROUBLE FINDING THE ORIGINAL ROM CAN ANYONE HELP
I believe that if you go to t-mobile support site you can download original RUU 1.22.531.8. 45MB to big to upload here for you.
the one i need is 1.33.422.1 from htc not tmobile and htc doesnt have it
also what is the difference between that version and this one
1.27.405.1 (Worldwide English, WM6)
My bad, Version I mentioned from T-Mobile original WinMo 5. Don't know where to get the 1 your hunting.

i have the htc s621 i just wanted the original windows mobile 6 standard that came with it
Why ? Kavana 6.1 or 3VO 6.5 are so much better........
i kinda like the way the icons go across the bottom on the factory rom...also i wanted to flash it back to original settings...
stilll.....can anyone help me with that?
also whats the difference between the rogers s621 and the regular htc s621
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605, then flash any rom you want.
I hope that helps.
can anyone here send me the files for the windows mobile 6 standard from the s621?
Black Dash, whats it really called, Excalibur 620 621???
im just a newbie but do you mean the BLACK Tmobile Dash.. if so the ROM that came with this phone from Tmobile is version, 1.22.531.8 which is on Tmobile's site, you just have to enter your IMEI number and follow the instructions on how to install.
just to to Tmobile site, and go to support, phone/device support go to the bottom where it says Tmobile Phones, look for the Dash, and go to the download section and look for the ROM there
sorry couldnt post direct site.
