Hi,
I hope I'll have some time during the holidays to update ER2003Edit. Planned features/changes are:
:arrow: Support for Blue Angel and Magician (different header, different ROM image location
:arrow: Do not depend on ROM type selection in Open dialog
:arrow: Auto-Generate the config file for the extended ROM
:arrow: Automatically detect the type of the connected device and set the appropriate header options in order to prevent the country ID error
:arrow: Asscociate .nbf files with ER2003Edit in order to open them in ER2003Edit directly from Explorer
:arrow: Fix the "ActiveX component can't create object" error under WindowsXP
Please post if you have more suggestions. The focus here lies on helpful features that are _easy_ to implement (i.e. in a short amount of time).
I need some help with the following issues, can anybody help?
:?: Accessing the OS ROM. What kind of file system is this, any way to access it
:?: Automatic Password detection: Does anyone have some code to accomplish this, would save me some time..
Best,
This would be great.
does this include changing the "new country id" as stated in step 9 of DCS's post ?
dcs said:
Run the hex editor and in that open the file ms_.nba. At offset 74 (0x4A) you will see the operator string your device will be set to and at offset 94 (0x5E) you will see the language string your device will be set to

I think this "new country id" is a nice discovery by dcs, but there are only rare cases when you really need it. (like the incorrectly authored ROM, dcs had to deal with)
Normally when you want to update your device to a "foreign" ROM, you use ER2003Edit or xda2nbftool to change the headers. Once installed your device's id will be (in nearly all cases) set to the id of the ROM you install. Thus you will be able to do subsequent upgrades of the same brand and language.
Changing the "new country id" would only make sense if you already know during installation what your next update will be and you know that you are unable or unwiling to use ER2003Edit then (and only when changing brand and country).
Technically it wouldn't be hard to implement but could bring trouble if the location/offset would change. Though I think very few people will really need it, I will consider this for inclusion into ER2003Edit.
...any other suggestions...?
Those features will still be there ?
-Extract and modify the splash bitmaps
-Completely modify the contents (=extract, delete, import, rename) via Drag'n'Drop
Would it be also possible to make rom backup ? and Restore ?
Anyway thank you for trying to make your soft BlueAngel friendly ! I was waiting for this since I get my 9090 !!!
Best regards and Merry XMas !

Hope everything is going well with the alterations to the ER2003Edit.......
How is it coming along - anything we can help with over in the BlueAngel Forums?

Step by step guide using the official O2 DSUU
1. Install the O2 XDA Stealth Upgrade Tool on my computer.
2. Navigate to the DSUU folder.
3. Rename the WM6*.nb0 file to "gbcall.nb0" (If there is not WM6*.nb0.just keep the gbcall.nb0),change it to "read-only" and copy to the DSUU folder.
4. Start the DSUU update which will take about 5-10 Minutes.
5. Then your device will auto reset.
• The device doesn't boot, I see only O2 logo. Hard reset doesn't help and the Firmware update process stops with the first message?
1. turn off the device;
2. enter engeneering mode;
3. in Main menu choose Boot Config;
4. in Configuration menu choose EBOOT-Launch Image;
5. turn off the device;
6. now hard reset or upgrade firmware.
Sometimes helps another method: leave the device without the battery for about 30 minutes, then turn your O2 XDA Stealth on.
• How to enter engeneering mode?
1. turn off your O2 XDA Stealth ;
2. hold Flag, OK and Camera + press and hold Power button;

I am a foreign student studying in Moscow, so I don`t have a lot of time to test the beta ROM. Each of the improvement will spend a lot of time to test.I am sorry that temporarily unable to complete the Final ROM.
The internet cost is very expensive with slow speed. I can`t upload the ROM with normal speed to other Servers.
Have fun.

STK patch: Copy to the windows folder; If you don`t need it, please remove it from there
RMVB/RM patch: Play RMVB/RM with WMP
where is the file download ?
Downloading now. Will test it tomorrow after work!
How to download!
may i know how to download from that "iFolder" web? Or else, can anyone upload on "mediafire"? Thanks
Thanks for the instructions yuc. I was looking at a way to do this before you posted and it should also work if you use the previous official Device Software Update Utility from O2 them selves.
All you need to do is install the DSUU on you computer and replace the "GCALL.NB0" file with the WM6 ROM and then click start. I will verify when I get home.
Step by step guide using the official O2 DSUU
1. Install the official O2 ROM update on my computer.
2. Navigate to the DSUU folder.
3. Delete "gcall.nb0".
4. Rename the WM6 .nb0 file to "gcall.nb0 and copy to the DSUU folder.
5. Start the DSUU update which will take about 5-10 Minutes.
6. After the DSUU says to begin the update reset your device.
7. If "Image Utility" doesn't appear on the screen then allow your device to start up normally. If it does appear then allow it to proceed, this should take around 20 minutes. Follow the on screen prompts to finish setup of WM6.
8. Once the device has restarted open up File Explorer (or a similar program) and navigate to the root of the device.
9. Tap on "UpdateROM.exe" which will restart the device and start the "Image Utility"
Please give a downloadable link.
Try the download link above. Just use google or babel fish to translate the page and it will be easy. I dont speak russian, but doing it this way I was able to download the file rather easily.
There is no download link on the initial page because you need to click a link on that page which will take you to an advertisement page and after you have clicked on a link on that page a 30 second timer will appear and will then give you a unique link to download the file after you have entered the password which is:- yuc.
And here is the link to use: http://ifolder.ru/4594561
Hope this helps.
So far so good. I have updated my ROM to WM6 and it is running better than it ever did on WM5. There is still a small part of the ROM that is not in English but nothing that would stop someone from using their device. Hopefully yuc will have the ROM completely in English for the final version. There are also some minor apps that were a part of the Stealths WM5 ROM that are not included in this one, which I hope to have a list of soon. The only thing so far that I am not liking is that the Keyboard SIP does not allow options to be set and I am used to using the small key style.
I will be posting some screen shots either later or tomorrow and I will write up a complete "review" of this ROM in the next few days.
Keep up the good work yuc!

How to upgrade Firmaware?
- extract files from archive;
- put *.nb0 file and CUSTFILE folder onto SD Card;
- turn off your Stealth;
- don't forget to charge the battery and connect AC adaptor;
- hold Call and End + press and hold Power button;
- You'll see Flash Utility (now you can release buttons), the process of Firmware upgrade begins: you'll see lue squares appearing on the screen, the blue light will flash (reading from SD card to the memory), then yellow light (writing from memory to flash), wait until squares stop to appear (there will be no blue light), the process takes about 20 minutes;
- the device should restart itself, if not do a soft reset, first run always takes some time, so be patient.
After the system has loaded, enter the calibration screen, use the stylus and follow the direction;
- Enter time zone, select Next;
- Stylus introduction, press Skip or Next;
- then you can enter your password or skip this action.
Firmware upgrade complete.

Mini Review
I have been toying around with this ROM for the past 24 hours and have put it through a rather intensive daily routine. After just one day I have noticed enough of an increase in speed that I am prepared to continue to use this as my default ROM. While the ROM works well, there is still some work that needs to be done however.
There are a few apps that don't work, while others are only half translated. There is nothing, though, that prevents any functions of the device being used and in fact I feel there is more of a gain than a loss. The most improvement I noticed was that the UI seems to be more responsive and faster loading than WM5.
Apps/Settings that don't work
SIM Toolkit
SRS WOW HD (known)
Notes (known)
Translation Incomplete
SMS/MMS (Mailbox Name & To, From, Subject etc. Also the font is a different size and style)
One Note Mobile
Help
Pictures & Videos
Phone Settings (4th Tab Only)
Voice Commander
Backlight (3rd Tab Only)
Power (3rd Tab Only)
SRS WOW HD (90% Chinese)

Hello Everyone!
I had problems with my Ipaq. It has an italian ROM. So I´d like to flash it with an german ROM. On the HP-Homepage i found an italian and a german ROM. But of course it isn´t possible to use the german version. Couldn't anyone cook or dump a GERMAN ROM for the Ipaq 114? I think here are a lot of Germans who would really really appreciate that.
Many thanks!!!
Thomas Further Informations: Isn´t it possible to overwrite the italian nbf-file with the german one???
Got new informations!!!
Instruction to flash:
1.) You need the german and the italian Rom-update. Both have to unpack on your hard disk!
2.) You connect PDA with the PC, but not with the ac-power.
3.) Start the italian Softpaq. Meanwhile the Update the programm will recognize, that the update does only work with ac-plugged
in.
4.) No you rename the Romfile from the german Update with the name from the italian one and copy it to the folder with the
italian Update
5.) NOW plug in the AC-Power Cable
On this way you bypass the country check - this will be done before the checking of the ac-power.
No ideas???
It must be possible... Here are so many "professionals"!!!
By the way: This is a great forum here. Interesting discussions...
Has anyone experience...
...with the instruction from above???
Thanks for supporting
First, I have to say Hello!, this is my first post in this forum. I own an ipaq 110 classic series with WWE(world wide english).
I'have tried many ways to perform a language change, none of them appears to work, at least in this model. The method described above don't work on ipaqs 110 series, because this model only have a mini-usb port in the bottom end; which supplies data connection and power. Then... How I can "connect the AC power" to the device?. O maybe I'm omitting something.
Sorry about my english, I'm from Spain.
First of all you have to forbid your pda the charging via usb.
Use these settings to do this.
When the software ask, reactivate the settings...
Try it...
Greetings!
Bye the way. My english isn´t better. I´m from germany
EDIT !!!!!
SORRY!
It doesn´t work to deactivate the charging funktion. The problem is, that the pda use just one cable for the datas and for charging.
When you start the rom-update the setup programm automaticly start the charging option. The update starts immediatly...
No chance for overwrite the original language rom-file with the one from - in my case - the german one...
Need help! Please!!! It´s very important for me to have a german system (especially for my software).
additional information: i have a spanish model and i need urgently a german one...!!!!
HELP NEEDED!!!
Finally... I'have found a way to change language on ipaq 110 series (I think I have seen this method somewhere else)...
First you need:
1. ROM update for your device's language (in this case spanish)
2. ROM update what you want to change (germany or other)
both can be downloaded from HP's web page.
You must unpack each ROM in a directory with winrar, by separate, for example in the desktop.
Run the RUU utility of your device's language, the program will make some checkups and tells, it is correct the ROM and the language. Proceed with the update.
THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT STEPS:
1. The progress bar in the PC screen will not move forward, and in the device the screen will show "RUU downloading mode" in a white background (I suppose this is the famous "bootloader mode"). In this moment you have to paste the "HPImage.nbf" from germany ROM (I suggest before you copy the file and let ready for the paste) to the directory with your device original ROM language, you have aprox 5 sec to do so; the update will continue with no warnings. The device's screen will show "downloading mode" and the progress bar in the setup in the PC will reach the end.
2. The device will perform a "CLEAN BOOT" in green letters and... your device is speaking germany (or other language).
I'm not sure how safe the procedure is.
I suggest you run the ROM update of your original device language before doing the change, to check the screens, the timing, etc.
Hope it works in your device. Mine now is speaking spanish.
Regards.

Netherlands ROM
Hi, a have a problem, i got Ipaq 114 witch Netherlands ROM (NLD, Dutch) and i would like English, German or French (it does not matter), but to flash i need Netherlands rom to, but on official HP site it isn't (just only English, German or French). Can anybody help me pls, give me some link to Netherlands rom? thx
I have the actually german based ROM (April 2008) and wondering about this symptom:
Always when I connected my "blank" IPAQ 114 to active sync (sync with local Outlook) "and make" a new partnership - the Time on my PDA is "-9 hours" from our local time.
I test this with other IPAQ 114, with other Windows XP, and other AS 4.5 - always the same problem. If I use an other PDA (HTC Touch HD, Pro, S740) all work fine and the time on this devices are correct...
Any Idea what is the timesync Problem with ipaq 114 and active Sync?
the Language settings, time zones are correct on the IPAQ114.
I found a solution for an old IPAQ 6315 :But is that the really solution?
I found out that this is a know problem by HP. There is no current fix, but they did provide me with a work around. The work around is a 2 step process and both must be done before performing an ActiveSync. If not, the problem will become worse by advancing all the appointments in the host's calander. First, in the date and time properities on the PC, UNCHECk the automatically adjuct clock for daylights saving time box. Second, if the IPAQ is located in Eastern Standard Time, set the IPAQ's time zone to Indiana (IN) as they do not observe DST. If in MST set the time zone to AZ. If in CST set the time zone to Saskatchewan, Canada.

my iPAQ 114 speak poruguese now !!
Sorry my english
can anyone post here the ROM for english ? i can`t download it
thx
Does anyone here have any idea if is possible to update an iPAQ 116 (that is pretty much the same as the 110 and 114) from WM6.0 to WM6.5?
I have one here but I don't even have it's instalation CD. For some reason I can't connect it by USB, just by Bluetooth.
Any help?
First of all, let me say that so far, there is no Portuguese-Brazilian version of Wm6.1 for the HTC S-621 and maybe this will never exist at all…
If you are new to ROM Upgrading, you MUST read this! - PDF file - 2,5 mb + - (pages 1 to 11 only - keyboard issues are treated here)
That said, let´s cover the main issues you may have (at least the ones I faced) when upgrading to 6.1 for brazilian people.
Before we get started, let me tell you that I´ve tried all 4 flavors of roms available (so far) in this forum (in chronological order, i guess):
1 - Kavana
2 - Kavana remade by Rickwatt
3 - NGR Rose Rom
4 - NGR Rose Rom remade by Ricky and Stylez
And the best one that fits in my S621 (when you talk about funcionality and the little amount of trouble) is the second one (Kavana remade by Rickywatt) in this thread:
CLICK HERE to get Kavana remade by Rickywatt
With all other ROM´s i had some irritating issues, like CAP key nonresponding, comm manager not opening when you click on it, dialing “0” (zero) and getting TAB instead, typing “£” sign instead of “ç” and so on….
The very first change you MUST do is changing emergency number (911 does not work in Brazil – 190 does). All other changes but this one can be postponed, once you are dealing with life!
In order to do that:
Goto START – ALL PROGRAMS – MYTOOLS – REGISTRY EDITOR
Find these Regkeys:
HLM/Security/ECall
Scroll Down to LIST, press Center Button and change the “911” number to “190” (wich is the emergency call here in Brazil) – Confirm Change.
Find
HLM/Security/EcallWithoutSIM
Scroll Down to LIST, press Center Button and add “190” number. Press Done, Confirm change and repeat steps with:
HLM/Security/ECallWithSIM
Add “190” to it the same way.
DO NOT softreset the device yet (it´s necessary for changes to take effect)... there are other changes to do before softreset (Just to not waste time resetting it several times).
Needless to say that by doing this, you´re setting your phone to dial 190 (the emergency number here in Brazil – Remember, this guide is for brazilian people) even if keypad is locked.
______________________________________________________
Now let´s change some regional settings to best fit our needs here in Brazil.
Goto START – SETTINGS – CLOCK AND ALARM – DATE AND TIME.
Change TIME ZONE from London,Dublin (mine is at it – Who Knows why?) to GMT -3 Brasilia. At this point, you are able to change clock top to 24 hour format (I prefer) by changing values on CLOCK ON TOPBAR item (this step is optional)
Yet in settings, goto REGIONAL SETTINGS and change LOCALE to PORTUGUESE-BRAZIL. Press Done then OK.
Remember DO NOT soft reset yet.
Click done twice.

Let´s fix keyboard issues
Download Attached file to your PC to set up keyboard.
Is it done? Cool... now let´s do the trick: Goto START – ALL PROGRAMS – TEXT NOTES and click NEW to create a new one. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING YET! Press FN + SPACE Keys to bring the language menu. Navigate to LANGUAGE (3) Choose PORTUGUESE (8). At this point, try typing a single letter, like the “a” character. You´ll notice that the XT9 dictionary will suggest you to use “a à á â ã” (for those out of Brazil, we use this special symbols very often). This is the predictive text working as it should be in all other ROM´s, but unfortunately, things are not as it were supposed to be.
Let´s go on...
Try pressing FN key and type the “J” letter... You´ll get an £ (Libra) sign instead. Type FN key again and type the “K” letter…. You´ll get an $ (Dollar) sign. It´s wrong… at least in my keypad, if you press “J”, “K” or “L” with FN, you should get the “ç”, “º” and “ª” signs.
Nevermind… let´s fix this…
Done with your annoying “ HEY! this is not the key i wanted to show up” thing? Ok. Now you can discard the note (press MENU button and choose CANCEL).
Remember the “eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt” file attached here? Did you got it? Put it in your mobile´s Windows folder, replacing the existing one. Your keyboard is fixed now, but do not test it yet, because it needs a reboot to apply changes.
________________________________________________________
NOW is the time for the first soft reset. Press IE key (this will bring Celetask) goto MENU – UTILITIES – REBOOT – confirm and wait.
Get back to text notes (START – ALL PROGRAMS – TEXT NOTES and click NEW to create a new one), and try typing something, like “jo”. You´ll notice that the XT9 Dictionary is giving you some options, like “jô jogo José jogos jogadores jornal”. It means the dictionary is working properly, as it should be in all other roms, but unfortunately, it only works in Kavana´s remade by Rickwatt. God knows why!
Now, try to type any vowel (a e i o u). Let´s take “e” for example. The XT9 give you some options like: “e é ê”. You see? Again, it´s the predictive text working as it SHOULD be in ALL other ROM´S...
Let´s try one last word... type “versao". It Will give you the option to use “versao versão”. (Just for your knowledge us-citizens, versão means version).
Ok? Done? Are we even? Now, let´s make it more confortable to use...

Some will say: “Hey, there is a Free RAM utility already built into the ROM!” or “Hey, there is CELETASK that does this trick!”.
Ok... I agree... I totally agree and I surrender. Use it! You done? Now, go to main screen and try to go to Comm Manager... close it using celetask. Try to open it again…Could you? Me neither. It´s a very common and strange bug among alternative ROM´s.
Oxios memory does the trick without this issue!
Whenever you want to free up some RAM (and speeding up your smartphone as a consequence) use Oxios Memory (the icon is a skull with a black hat and a red stripe on top of the hat). It´s completely harmless and best of all – free and works!
That´s it… Rom developers, I hope you see this topic and try to help us here in Brazil by including at least the keyboard layout and the predictive text in your future rom´s.
I´m waiting for comments, thanks! I also hope to help other people in trouble, like I once was.
Sorry guys... i forgot to upload file...

Thank you very much!!
Very nice topic... it helps a lot.
I still have some troubles: how do you change the IE key to open internet explorer instead of celetask?
I'm using WM 6.1 by kavana but i don't think it was remade by anyone... i've downloaded you file but there is no portuguese option when i press fn + space. Do you have a any idea y?
And finally, have u downloaded any cab file to install the portuguese keyboard layout after installing your WM version?
Thanks in advance

I don´t know how to change IE key to open IE, maybe some registry tweak, try search this forum... IE sucks a lot and I don´t care at all. Even when I was running the original WM6.0 from Vivo, I never used that key, so I really don´t care at all.
In the beginning of this thread, you may have noticed that there is a link to "KAVANA REMADE BY RICKYWATT" right on top of the post, so, it WAS remade by "anyone" (in this case, Rickywatt - Thanks, Rickywatt). Kavana was the first one, then came the others with improvements.
And as you may already know (because I assume you did read this thread entirely), this is the only ROM that I had no several issues with keyboard. All others were trouble and a pain in the * to fix keyboard. That´s why I gave up all others and stayed with Rickywatt.
If there is no portuguese option when you press fn + space, maybe it´s because it´s not Rickywatt´s ROM.
Please, download Rickywatt´s and try again the instructions I posted here. As I was making this guide, I was doing it in real time just to be sure it´s accurate. I did it three times in my device and three other times in different devices (I mean, the same HTC-S621 from different people). So, if you apply them step-by-step as I posted here, you´ll see things are gonna work properly.
And finally, I haven´t downloaded any CAB to make keyboard work properly. Almost everything was already built in Rickywatt´s ROM, I just made some adjustments in the TXT file posted here. As I said, install KAVANA REMADE BY RICKYWATT and follow my instructions here and you´re good to go.
Thanks
Hi buddy,
first: thanks for the tutorial!
second: I have a S60 BT, but I couldn't installed any rom. Every time I get a "corrupted rom" message. Have you ever seem this? I've read something that my phone could be blocked and that would be the reason.
I've tried to used that unlock from Rick, but didn't work. Do you have any more tip?
Thanks a lot man!

Try Google... Take a look @ this or this.
It's a very common error and easily fixed just by getting attention when upgrading ROM. There are SEVERAL topics about it. Use the search tool.

Might be a good idea to read the Sticky "Noobs Guide To Flashing"
All files needed and info are there
I tried to change de et9 file in Windows directory but in this version i'm using (wm 6.5 build 21848 nrgz evolution mod) there is some type of protection that prevents me from deleting/editing the file.
I attempted to change de read-only atribute but it doesn't changes.
Any ideas?

First of all, copy the txt file anywhere on your device using your pc.
Now, in your device, use Resco Explorer to copy (and overwrite) this file in the Windows folder. Restart and you´re done.
Regards.
No one in Portugues Brasil yet?
Nenhuma versao 6.1 em portugues ainda?
We all brazilian guys here could ask these guys who do this modifieds roms how to translate or offer our help to translate something to our native language! If anyone here have contact with this guys and would like to help. I coud help!
Meu ingles nao é dos melhores mas dá pra ajudar!
