Okay,
I installed WM5 with no problem, but as a lot of my aps do not work on it, I am now trying to go back to Window 2003.
I have done all the needed stuff as told in the "How to Downgrade a WM5 Rom' (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5), but when I get at step 7, and run the 'MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe' (downloaded from the howto site) I get the following error:
Error 150: Rom Upgrade utility error
This ROM Upgrade Utility does not design for your device.
Please get proper ROM Upgrade Utility and try again!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(the 'MaUpgradeUt 'Device Software Update Utility - R1000 D1001' does also NOT show any info about the Device CE image version)
The ROM that I am trying to use is the same version as I was using before the WM5 update!
Anyone here who can help me with this error?
Nevermind... After rebooting the main pc, I got it to work.
So i downloaded WM6 Black 2.0, and its constantly crashing, so i wanted to re-install it and see if that helped.
now whenever i try to launch the file, i get an error message that states
"custom RUU has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience."
So im wondering what changed that wont allow me to run the ruu file? Im kinda freaking out here because i need to get my phone working! its constantly crashing on me!
i hope someone knows a fix for this, i tried to search but came up with nothing

Had this happen to me. I downloaded .net framework 3.0 from the M$ site and then it worked fine.
Maybe that will help you.

Need more info?

Ok, first off, this is not a flame. It's an education, ok?
When posting a problem, it's best practice to let us know your:
Model of phone
Radio version
Boot Loader version
OS on your PC
ActiveSync version (s/b 4.5 by now)
Then, and only then, will you be able to get some intelligent answers. You also need to follow the link in my signature and there you will find answers.
If you're still stuck, usually re-downloading the RUU will result in a working ROM patch, unless you have other PC issues. You really need to fix that first, and the guides posted here are FULL of the diagnostic and troubleshooting steps that will propel you to a successful resolution.
Please read those posts, add your info, and you may be extremely pleased with the results.
Good reading!

First off; relax. At least the problem isn't with your phone. It's a heck of a lot easier to fix a PC.
I assume you've already tried to re-download the file?
Did you completely reboot your PC? Shut it down to power down, then restart. Make sure you don't have any extra USB stuff plugged in (like cameras, etc). If you have a PS/2 mouse and KB, use those, and not USB versions. One trick is to have the USB bus on your computer completely empty except for your phone.
Head over to Microsoft's site and download a fresh version of Compact Framework .NET (3.0 is the current version). Reboot after installing it -- even though it doesn't tell you to.
Run Windows Update. Make sure you're OK on those.
If that doesn't work, try downloading another ROM (OS only) -- like the Cingular Black 2.02 or the LVSM ROM, and see if that works.
You can also strip it apart -- use WinRAR to open the EXE file that you've been executing and extract the .nbh file from the EXE. Then go and download this guy: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_CustomRUU and extract it into its own folder. Copy that .nbh file into that directory, and execute the executable -- it will flash your phone with a known good flasher.
But.... stepping all of the way back ... if the ROM doesn't work on your phone, it's very likely reflashing it won't help a single bit. Those ROM's are checksummed when they go on the phone -- if they're corrupted, they won't load right in the first place (and you'd end up with a boot-loader only phone). Soo... uh.. first, reboot/clean USB, then try a different ROM.
Last resort will be completely reinstalling Windows XP. I've had to do this several times because Windows will get in some weird state and it refuses to flash my phone. I finally gave up and started flashing on my Mac using a Windows virtual machine -- it's a lot easier to restore my Windows system to a working point when I do that.
Thanks to everyone who gave a response!
Here's all the information i was asked to post ( i will remember this for next time)
Cingular 8525 HERM100
Radio version: 1.40.30.00
Boot Loader version: (Not quite sure what this is?)
OS on your PC: Pro Black 2.0
ActiveSync version 4.5
I have redownloaded the ruu about 3 times and it has failed everytime.
Restarted the PC, disconnected everything from my laptop, realized that i havent installed Framework .NET 3.0, ( although i have it on my phone as i needed it to run hitchhiker)
So i'm going to download framework .NEt 3.0 and run it.
As for my phone, i uninstalled all the apps, hard resetted and everything is working fine right now, hasn't froze at all since yesteray, so im going to wait it out and see if something happens again.
Thanks again to everyone!! This forum is really really helpful.

How to determine the bootloader version

You need to have a look at your user guide, as it states how to enter bootloader and check the version. Otherwise press and hold the left OK button and the power button at the same time, then hit the reset button with your stylus. You will enter a tri-color screen. This is bootloader mode. Jot down the numbers and compare against the below link.
Exiting is simple, press the reset button with your stylus.
Here's a valuable link for updating your bootloader.
Bootloader Version: SPL-1.40.01pro
IPL-1.01
i just tried to install Framework .NET 3.0 and got this error message

You're probably missing version 2.0 of the .NET framework. .NET Framework is to be left in place once installed. You should have left V 2.0 installed and added .NET 3.0. Go to www.microsoft.com/net and get version 2.0 redistributable re-installed on your machine. (If you can). If you cannot, search the KB and you may get by without rebuilding your OS.
"Head over to Microsoft's site and download a fresh version of Compact Framework .NET (3.0 is the current version). To be extra safe, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any existing versions -- reboot -- then install the new CF Framework. Reboot after installing it -- even though it doesn't tell you to."
this is the advice i was given in this thread, so i uninstalled version 2.0 before installing version 3.0.
So am i screwed now? lol
Well, version 3.0 just installed successfully... does that mean i still need to install 2.0? or am i fine just running 3.0?
Sorry for all the questions, i just want this fixed :/
You should be good. Give it a go.
If not, just dl .Net CF2 and install that. I think you are fine now though.
Edit: never mind
version 2.0 installed fine
Thanks everyone
i hope it is ok to post for help with the axim, i noticed others have so i figured i would, since i am getting desperate.
ok obviously i am a newb at this or i probably would not have this problem so please bear with me.
i downloaded the Dell_Axim_X50_X50v_wm2005_A01 99mb file and then went threw the install process. the first problem was that since i am using vista it does not seem to work with windows mobile center v6... when it tries to install i get bast the "update rom" and the warning to backup, then it verifies the device and cautions about clearing all the data, then when i click continue it freezes and my axim says "wait for usb to be ready...", then a few seconds later the installer says "ROMUpdateUTILITY MFC application has stopped working" and i have to close the program. I then have to hard reset my axim.
i then tried to flash the rom by putting the files on the sd card like it says in this forum but when i do that i get to the "SD Image A01 update" and then it says "no suitable image found" and then "image update failed, please try again"
I have tried it with both the following images that were in the zip cause i was not sure which one was the correct one.... niether one works.
AximX50_A_WM5_A01EN
AximX50_B_WM5_A01EN
is this a vista compatability issue? a mobile center v6.1 issue? or is it my stupidy?
any advice.
all i want to do is update from wm2003se to wm 5
ok must have been vista cause i went to a friends house and upgraded fine on xp
wm5 update roms
Where do I find such rom updates? apparently Dell disavows their existence.
and how can i tell which romset to use.. low or high..?
b
can someone who has this file Dell_Axim_X50_X50v_wm2005_A01.rar upload it somewhere else please???
I have an 8525 and I am trying to upgrade to HTC_TyTN_WWE_3[1].54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe and I keep getting the same error message. "Error 264 The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone " My phone is connected and everythign appears fine until I try try to update. I have even tried the guide at http://www.mrvanx.org and that doesn't work either. Any ideas?
Invalid Vendor ID
O.k. I am a little further. It starts the install and then I get the "Invalid Vendor ID" error message.
Do you have activesync installed on your pc?
Are u using vista or xp?
I'm also having a problem trying to upgrade to WM6. Whenever I start the process it switches my phone into standby then as activesync can't see the phone I get an error message!
What are your answers to the two questions above? Running vista or xp? What version of activesync if any are you running?
Are your phones unlocked, CID, etc?
I don't know if it is required or not for a "official update" but have you installed HardSPL?
On another note, I would post this question into the parent thread for the rom that you are trying to install, that way you may get more looks. Good luck
Running Windows XP with Activesync 4.5 not sure about SPL?! How can i find out?
See here, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
Read over all of this, in Re: to the hardspl, i believe its the first hyperlink listed.
Assuming that you are set on that particular rom, what I'd do is extract the rom file from the package you downloaded using winrar and then use customruu to load it on. Ive' never had any problems with it on XP. This protects against bricking as much as possible. Also just in case you haven't seen this before, flashing roms and hardspl from here will void your warranty if you need to have it serviced at any time. There is a way to get back to warranty acceptable 'standards' though. But you can't take it in as is.
ive been currently trying to flash new touch HD rom downloaded from Xda-dev
i tried to use softSPL method provided in this thread
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...0for newbies
however... when i try to run either hardSPL or softSPL (tried both and on 3 PCs) in all 3 cases i get all the time the same error
cecopy.exe application error
problems with initiation error 0xc0000142 click OK to close the application
just regular windows error :/
the hell whats the problem ive been googling for few hours for solution to this error and all i could find was some bullshitting about administrator rights (lol i have one acc on my pc )
what can i do :? ehhh
reinstalled windows :/ fresh installation
drivers + active sync .... still the same issue :/
any ideas ?
