a little help on upgrading...

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!

Today i flashed my phone again but with wm6 dutch.
And now i can't start my phone.

I think i broke my phone i must have do something wrong.
Is there anyone who can help to get my phone fixed without sending it to the manufacturier.
Please help me i turned my phone into a brick.
I am waiting for a response (i hope i get some)
I am from holland and my phone is from mda pro 3
Thank you all

try to hard reset, if not follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242

HELP me please,
I've got the same problem... it was working perfectly but at same point it freezes!! I’ve tried a soft reset but didn’t work, then tried a hardware reset but it says “Format failed”. Really don’t know what to do!
Do I have to re-flash my artemis, can I do that even if it freezes at the splash screen?
P.S.: i have the B&B 4.2
Thx very much

follow the abovr link to reflash bricked devices

Is that meaning it is brikked?
But it worked for couple of months!

no it doesn't mean it's bricked but you can't hard reset.
Maybe you can try to use uspl on it and see if it succeds, if then try to reflash....

Thank you very much
Just a last question if you don't matter can I run the UPLS even if my PDA freezes when the Spalsh screen appears?
Thank you!

I think so as the phone stops to be flashed.
You can check if the activ sync icone is green.
On another forum a guy had a similar problem, he tried to hard reset about 20 times and it finaly passed

what if i would take off the battery for few hours?
Do you think it will erase everything like an hardware reset?
Act syn dosn't get green.... and 20 hardware reset are too much
Thank you!

removing the battery won't change anything, imagin if it goes down for a few days and you don't charge it.
It's a flash memory.
The only thing lesft may be to get into the bootloader and reflash

OK.... i connected my pda to my computer and i bootloaded! But my computer dosen't reconize it and so i cannot run the UPLS
Any idea?
Thank guys

No USPL, 1st reflash your p3000 with your ORIGINAL HTC orT-Mobile Rom and correct language. WM6 is just released officially so i should not be a problem to find your ROM. In the past this was the biggest problem (no way to get the original rom).
When this is done, then USPL and change to another rom (other language and extra cherrys!).
GL
edit: To do so, put the artemis in bootloader mode, connect to usb and start RUUGetInfo.exe. Wait and see what happens . Should work fine.

THANK!!!
i'll try!

yessssssssssssssssssss
Thank you all!!!
I solved my problem. I turned my brick into a phone hahahaahh
I am very happy
How to get in the bootloader menu?
Start your phone
hold speedialbutton and softreset but still holding the speeddial button and then the bootmenu will appair (dont forget the usb cable it must plugged in before you go in to the bootmenu)
How do i get the 'wceusbsh.inf' file?
On your cd from the phone.
Before starting: Your device needs to be connected to the PC, and in BOOTLOADER mode.
Step 1 of 16: Extract this zip file to a memorable location on your machine (e.g. the desktop). 'wceusbsh.inf' This is the Activesync 4.5 RTM USB driver.
[attachment=21151:VistaRUU.zip]
Step 2 of 16: Run 'Windows Mobile Device Center', and click 'Connection Settings'.
Step 3 of 16: Uncheck the 'Allow USB Connections' box, and select 'OK'.
Step 4 of 16: Run 'Services' by clicking the Start Orb and typing 'Services', and ensure the 'Windows Mobile-based connectivity' and Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity' services are started. If they are not, click the service name and press the 'play' button on the top bar.
Step 5 of 16: Load 'Device Manager' by clicking the Start Orb and typing 'Device Manager'. Expand the 'Mobile devices' section and click the 'HTC USB Sync' (or similarly named) item.
Step 6 of 16: Click the 'Action' menu and select 'Update Driver Software'.
Step 7 of 16: Click 'Browse my computer for driver software'.
Step 8 of 16: Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.
Step 9 of 16: Click 'Have Disk'.
Step 10 of 16: Click 'Browse', and browse to the location where you extracted the ZIP' wceusbsh.inf' file in Step 1.
Step 11 of 16: Double click 'wceusbsh.inf'.
Step 12 of 16: Select 'HTC USB Sync' from the list, and click 'Next'.
Step 13 of 16: Wait while your driver is installed.
Step 14 of 16: Run 'Task Manager' by clicking the Start Orb and typing 'taskmgr'. Then find the 'WMDC.EXE' item, and click 'End Process'.
Step 15 of 16: Install your update! Everything should now run fine! You just need to bear in mind the final step when you want to start syncing normally again...
Step 16 of 16: In 'Windows Mobile Device Center', re-enable the 'allow USB connections' checkbox you disabled in Step 2.

Use the SEARCH engine...there are several other posts like yours!

If you don't understand it don't do it but its pretty straight forward.
People will help if you try things from there and then explain what is happening.

thanks for your help but nothing works
thank you so much for your reply,at least you have tried to adress my problem rather than just telling me to search (which i have already done)
I have previously checked out the posts you directed me to and either i am stupid and dont understand or my problem is different?Anyway what i see my problema as being is that i cannot perform a hard or soft reset by the usual methods ,also active sync dosnt pick up my device so i cannot install any operating system including my original version,i am trying not to believe that i have ruined my device because as a disabled pensioner i rely so much on it and cannot afford to replace it,i have spent hours aquiering the software that i need to help me with my disability and time spent in hospitalsd and waiting rooms,once again thank you for giving me some hope and i would appreciate any further advice

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately i do not have a blue angel so my attempts to help are limited but what i would suggest is to fully charge the pda overnight and then remove the battery for ten-twenty mins.
Then try and put it in bootloader mode (after you have reinserted the battery and turned it on).
If you can get this far attatch it to your usb (let any drivers install on their own on pc) and flash the same rom the handset came with.
Hope it helps

actually you are "IN" the bootloader mode... it's the UI for flashing.
Serial... means your USB cable isnt detecting any PC connection.
Orange led means you're phone is charging, that's a good sign.
try charging it for a long time and wait if it becomes green.
then if and when your battery is full...
take your battery out for at least 30-40 mins,
if your backup battery is old... and you know how fast it could drain out
you can use that time instead of the 30-40 mins...
put the battery back...
press and hold the record button + the power button...
now stick the reset.
use a separate synch cable.
then flash your phone again.
if that doesnt work...
search for MTTY...
i dont know the particulars but i think you'll find it somehow
Good luck!

1. Download mtty v1.42 from http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/mtty1.42.rar
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 mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM 2, try unplugging the USB and replugging it)
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted (only do this is if you dont mind losing all data on the BA)
7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot
8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
good luck.

Thanks ,but no Luck
Thanks for your reply,but i cannot Choose WCEUSBSH001 when Run mtty.exe,i can choose Com 3 but when i type in your instructions it tells me to "Please input command name in menu Auto first" ARRGGGHHH! i am going crazt,but i realy appreciate yout time and effprt to my problem,it is wonderful to have some hope of getting it up and running as i am so lost without it,once again any help or suggestions appreciated

did you kill both process in task manager?
Have you tried to unplug the device wait ten seconds and then plug it back in?

RE:more thanks
i dont find the rapimgr.exe process running ,could that be the problem? thanks again ,really appreciate your time and efforts

kinda new to this myself mate but had a similar problem recently.
firstly, it sounds like your OS has gone....the screen you can see basically means there is nothing to 'boot' to.
'serial' should change to 'usb' once plugged into the pc before you can start active sync and reloading an OS.
try, if possible, a different usb port if that fails is there any chance you could borrow another cradle to check that the usb side is ok?.
another thing i did not see mentioned (may have missed it), if you push power + soft reset together and as soon as you see the boot loader press record + camera at the same time, if this works it will show 3 options, first one should remain 'no' the next 2 should be changed to 'yes', (record moves down the options, camera changes the setting) then press the 'mail' button.
this should clear the BA (losing any saved data etc) but might 'wake it up' so the pc will recognise it again and allow you to reload.
if it is showing 'serial' and charging then i doubt it is broken beyond repair, just one of those annoying problems that comes with technology.
i upgraded to WM6 with no problem, it was as i tried to downgrade back to 2003 i got my problems, it appeared as if i had wrecked my BA but re-read all help/instructions a few times and managed to get it sorted, dont give up hope, just keep going over it.....i am sure you will get there, good luck.

Given up
thanks for all your help ,after trying so many combinations ,i have given upo and sent it in to be repaired,i was wondering however if it is worth upgrading it to 6? and what the correct rom version is ,any help here would be apreciated ,and once again thanks for your time

Extended ROM Update Error 113

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**** PROBLEM SOLVED ****
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi everybody,
I'm using german T-mobile MDApro with 64MB. I had one of your WM6 running. Good work btw! I only had some issues with WLAN an SDHC so I wanted to update.
And now I am in big trouble. I flashed one of your new WM6.1 as I usually did for the last 12 times when everything worked just fine. Bit this time I had error 113 during Extended ROM Udate. I tried and tried and always hat errors during the update process. And then I found out that I connected the device via USB-Hub!!! I know that it is not recommended. So I removed the hub connected the device to PC, but the error will remain the same for all updates and different ROMs.
There is no way to get the unit running again. Always the same: The fist part of update (CE) works fine, but the second part (extendes ROM) don't start. After a few seconds I get "error 113", sometimes I saw "error 114".
When I do a reset to factory defaults the screen remains completely blank (black)
After reset the device shows serial, connecting it to USB it shows USB. I have to do once or twice the [light + on/off + reset] to get it in this mode. Activesync 4.5 is running but doesn't connect or recognize the device.
Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!

some more details...
Bootloader v1.01 start after [power+light+reset]
- serial without USB cable
- usb when cabel is inserted (direct to PC)
MTTY starts and shows USB>
- anything I enter nothing happens on screen. I tried task 28 55aa, screen only shows "usb... v1.01"
Trying to flash original ROM:
- ROM Build starts from 0-100%
- when it tries to store Extended ROM nothing happens until Error 113
- the screen is blank this time (no "usb")
- when I unplug usb-cable screen returns to "serial"
- when I replug usb-cable screen shows "usb" again
BTW: the charge-LED is always off when connected to usb
maybe this helps some of you experts to have an idea?
Did I totally screw up my MDA??

Solution to the Problem
Hi everybody,
I found the solution here in the Forum. So please forgive my double posting
w3rti wrote in his post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374564:
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...60616.exe.html)
http://festplatte.aon.at/a/filemanag...R_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 =)))))
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried the same strings with mtty, but the key was to type it and NOT to copy/paste it. And this time it worked!
And at the end of step 11 there is no feedback on the screen of the pda (blank screen, nothing). So I waited for 10 minutes and gave him a [power-light-reset]
After that my favorite ROM-version did flash all throw the whole process.
Thank you guys

Help!!

Hi,
Hi,
I tried to upgrade my XDA using Ranju's latest ROM, and after going through the flash process ok, my XDA Exec is saying the following on a white screen "Press 0 to restore factory default - Press X to exit"
If i press "0", then the XDA says "clearing now" and switches off and nothing happens, and the XDA switches off altogether if i press "X". If i try the on /off key, nothing happens!!
During the whole process windows is showing "Unknown USB device".
I've removed both the SIM card and SD card and carried out the above.
Can someone please help me out.
Regards
SA

Finally managed to sort. Used the following instructions:
How to update your rom to the latest I-mate version (with push email) and Radio 1.09.0 using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method
1 – download the file “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” from the ftp site (see bottom of post for details)
2 - double click the file and allow it to unpack into a folder
3 – right click on the active sync icon in your tasks tray on you pc (at the stage you should NOT have you universal plugged in)
4 – select connection setting then untick “allow USB connections”
5 – Now take your Universal and take out the SIM and MEMORY CARD
6 – Press light + power + reset with the phone on, this will place the universal into bootloader mode
7 – Connect your Universal via the USB cable to your computer directly i.e. not though a USB hub
8 – Now double click on the program called “MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe” (found in to folder from step 1) this will start the upgrade process, the first stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete, you will then be presented with a screen showing a “Imate Jam” and some information about what you are upgrading to, don’t be worried if this screen does not show you the version numbers you have at present that is normal.
9 – Now continue with the process by clicking upgrade/next
10 – After sometime (about 20 minutes) you should be at the end screen tell you to unplug and reset you “jam” So now unplug your universal and reset it and that’s all there is to it!
Note that during the upgrade process you can follow the progress by also looking at your universal screen with a light source as the backlight will be off.
Many thanks for taking time to read.
