Hi,
I've upgraded my XDA IIs a few times now and am currently using WM6 (ROM version 5.60.00 WWE) having followed the instructions on this website. I am beginning to get various errors and crashed on my device so I thought I would revert to the original manufacturers ROM (o2 - WM2003 - UK).
I went to their website and downloaded the ROM but when I tried to load the ROM back onto my device I received an error telling me that the ROM I was loading on to my device was from a different country/region than the one currently on my device and the installation had to stop.
I am assuming that somewhere in the uprading of my device (which I understand was completely at my own risk) the country of origin or location of the device/ROM has changed or has been replaced by one from a different location/region or one that has no defined location or region.
My biggest problem with the WM6 ROM is that my BlueTooth GPS device doesn't seem to work with the TomTom software anymore. TomTom can identify my GPS device but doesn't track any satellite, therefore it's pretty pointless. My Radio version is 1.12.00, all my COM ports are configured correctly as is my Baud rate. My TomTom version is 6.010.
Everything used to work perfectly with the WM2003 ROM and if I can't revert back or solve my problem then I may just bin it. Before that though I will try another BlueTooth GPS device... just incase!
Cheers.
Maybe you can try the latest ROM WM6.5 21189 before you revert back to wm20003. You can find all the stock ROMs in our FTP or you can xplode he got everything.
i had the same problem when going back to wm2003se for storage resizing purposes. as the roms published here are WWE roms, for your first upgrade you need to use Maupgrade_noID.exe and put the device into bootloader mode, for reverting you have to do the same. in my case, the german MDA3 rom aldo declined country error (WWE) and then even "this rom is not designed for your device", since uit identified as blueangels, where german devices are heavily branded and for the official update need to indentify as MDAs.
so just do the same as in upgrading:
1. Bootloader
2. MAupgrade_noID
and you will have no problem. it is just a matter of the carrier protecting their customers from bricking their devices, if they are unexperienced and maybe really picked the wrong device's rom or people from other countries try and steal their branded roms (yeah, like that's ever gonna happen!).
EDIT: I just saw the reason for going back is a bluetooth problem. I will think about it and repost here, maybe that is solvable without going back, because wm6.x is so nice, nobody should use 2003 anymore
Thanks for your replies.
I think I will try the WM6.5 first as you're quite right that WM2003 is not very nice at all!
I want to revert my pc
to Windows 95....
the first i think in... was the compatibility on apps.
It was just a little sarcasm.
OK, got an update on my bluetooth problem...
WM6.5 installed no problem, looks good and seems to be a bit quicker and smoother. Also, it gives more information in the bluetooth connections list than WM6 did as to what the status is of my bluetooth devices.
My device lists my bluetooth GPS as "paired" but "not connected". When I try to connect I get an error saying "Your device did not connect with BN909GR. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect."
It looks more and more like it's my bluetooth GPS receiver which is knackered.
Have you tried pairing the GPS with another device? I assume it should pair with any device, ie another phone etc?
Hi,
Yes, I can pair my bluetooth receiver with ordinary mobile phones. I cannot test its functionality though as neither of the phones I have available to pair it with have any soft ware which uses the GPS receiver.
I haven't yet got hold of another Bluetooth GPS receiver to try with my BA...

I have tried hard reset including installing the ROM and reverting to old BT and current but no luck. The blutooth originally worked for about 1 month and then this problem occured. I think I need a FIX for the licence issue. Please help someone!!!
edo you mean you tried to reinstall the rom you had??, or have you tried to upgrade/downgrade the rom??? surely, changing the rom should help the BT problem. :?
The rom version I have is 1.06.00. I upgraded to this ROM from the one that was installed by T-Mobile. After upgrading the bluetooth worked fine but stopped after a few months. The radio version I currently have is the 1.00.00. I have installed the new radio updates to see if it makes any difference but it has not worked. I am surprised that I have not seen this problem with anyone else??? Anyone out there who have resolved this problem get in touch...
blueangel bluetooth licence expired
Currently have BT version 1.0.0.3900 loaded, I have tried hard reset, can someone edit the registry to an open ended licence? (like cracking 14 day trial period programs) the BA works fine in every way but without bt, i cannot travel, (car headset or tomtom) dont really want to muck about with roms etc unless it includes a really succesful and stable bt. or is it a BA standard fault?
help?
I someone having the same problem as me?
since I installed WM6 on my device (first version 0.2 from Kyphur and now Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition v1.2) I have connection problems with my bluetooth carkit (Toyota Prius).
the pda should make a connection when my car starts, but most of the time the car tells me that the connection failed (not always) and most of the time I need to enable bluetooth in the comm manager on the pda, but have to press the button three time sometime before bluetooth is enabled.
All is well in a conversation, but when it ends and I would like to make a new call via my car, bluetooth is disabled again on the pda.
I didn't have this (many) problems with WM5.
I think I use an old version of the radio rom. Could this be the problem? and does anyone have an idea of what radio rom I should install.
I'm in the Netherlands and use the KPN network.
this is my device information:
ROM version:3.22.200.4
ROM date: 01/04/07
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
I never flashed my device before WM6 so I think I have an old bootrom.
Can my problem be solved by installing a newer radio rom?

Similar issue here with WM6 (lvsw 20/3 and black edition 1.2) and Seat Leon Bluetooth Car. If i start the car, pair succesfull, but if i stop PDA (not phone) the car starts loss connection and reconnects several times, and bluetooth goes off. So i need to stay PDA On to work ok (not so difficult, i charge in the car and this prevent to switch off).
I've one more issue with tomtom. When i start tomtom6, the volume in tomtom is deactivateed. If i enter in parameters to activate, the free hands for the car losses the connection, so i need to enter in bloetooth and set the car to Free Hand active. Anyone with similar issues?
I've tested this with one free hands from other manufacturer and works ok, so i think is more a problem with bluetooth for Seat Leon, or the way it works (in my case) thats a problem with TyTN.

From what I've read (radio flash only affects GSM, not Bluetooth or WiFi), I'd say not likely.
I don't think this has anything to do with a new radio rom, but just for the record there is some improvement.
I have flashed my Hermes with the latest version of LVSW:
20070325_WM6_HERMES_WWE_3.23.0.2_1.38.00.10
and with this version I suddenly have extra info about my phone in my car.
I never got this information before (just a bluetooth connection, but no info about reception and battery status...)
I flashed the complete rom with the radio etc. included.
I don't know if the connection with the car will be more consistent. Too early to tell
Just for the info....

Hi. New to the forum. Stuck with a problem with my Wifi...
TyTN (Hermes200) - I've run the auto unlock SIM/CID w/ HardSPL 1.40?. Then flashed the "Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31 ROM [WWE]".
Everything seems to be inorder; Except I can't manage to use my WIFI connection. Like it seems to be connecting to my router - But doesn't seem to be transfering data...
... I've been thru the wiki, and did a search of the forums but couldn't find any info on this issue... Maybe I've configured something wrong? I've been thru the Con Manager a dozen times...
When using Explorer to access a site i geta pop up error;
"The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later." But Wifi remains connected to my routher with a 100% strength.
As a newb; I am still unsure as to the whole issue with different versions Radio ROM's? I was under the impression updating the RADIO wasn't mandatory thing?
Thanks~
please delete. i am an idiot.

Fixed similar problems with WPA2 connection for me.
I just flashed a Softbank X01HT with Japanese Xbow ROM, version for foreign SIM cards since I am using it in the UK – see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302785). Everything seems to be working fine except there does not appear to be WPA2 support, which I thought was standard in WM6, and for some reason WM5torage does not work. Any idea how I can fix the WPA2 problem and keep the Japanese ROM?

Each time I get an error when the USB Mass Storage Device driver is being installed. First of all, is there a way to fix the WPA2 issue and still keep the Japanese ROM?

Hallo,
I've got a big problem with my MDAIII. After the upgrade to WM6 rom my radio doesn't work anymore. I have tried to update the Radio rom but with no succes. Every radio rom update tool i dowload will not work.
I read many wiki's and posts but come no further.
I have read that i have to downgrade to WM3, then update my radiorom and then update to WM6. But the problem is the downgrade roms to WM2003 doesn't work too.
The other strange thing is when i put out my battery and then put it back and startup my pda he says:
R:None
G:None
D:6.11.00.wwe
But when i gave the device a soft reset or hard reset the versions are:
R:1.00.00
G:1337.30
D:6.11.00.wwe
What are the real numbers?
Who can help me?
Sad MDAIII user
Edit:
If i give the device a hard reset and the startup screen give me this info:
R:1.00.00
G:1337.30
D:6.11.00.wwe
then the phone accepts the pin code from my simcard, but after the accept the device gives the message unknown SIM status.
Problem solved. Found a Radio rom that can install in bootloader mode. Or they al have to i don't actualy know.
Can you ponit me to the radio rom that actually works?
I have the same problem, although I install radio updates in bootloader, no one is kept when I remove the battery.
thanks
on WM5, WM6 and WM6.1, when u take out the battery, you need to soft-reset the device to allow the radio to boot.
ive lived with this 'issue' ever since i started flashing roms over my blueangel wm2003.
it's never been a problem...more of a minor annoyance to have to 'double-boot'.
say for example..if I've changed simcards and is switching on device for the first time id have to
1. switch on
2. reset to get the radios recognised
Hi - while trying to install Skype, the entire OS simply crashed. The phone does switches on but no longer finds the OS. Hence, I have no way to get an ActiveSync connection. Is there any way to install a clean O/S onto it?
Thanks in advance,
First step take your time to read the sticky located at the top of forum..
You could try an hard-reset and if all else fails flash stock ROM via bootloader, then update to ROM of choice.
Error 300
Thanks. I did. Particularly the "unbricking instructions post" from ookba.
The issue is that my Dash does not even start up. Hence, there is no way for me to get an active sync connection.
Current Status:
- phone can be started by pressing the Camera key and Power, which shows the red-green-blue screen
- phone can then be connected to the PC via a USB connection. I hear the ba-bing, but the phone does/will not establish an Active Sync (which makes sense)
- downloaded the TMO official ROM from the TMO site which is a WM6. Now, I know my phone did not previously have WM6. It probably had WM5.x but I cannot find the SHIPPED ROM anywhere.
- when I tried the RRU from TMO WM6 ROM, I got through all the way to upgrading. At which point, the mobile screen went to a white/grey with status bar stuck at 0%. But the PC application crashed and gave an error 300.
repeated the same with Kavana's ROM and the same issue.
I am looking through the forums for error 300 but most solutions seems to require an Active Sync connection. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
have you tried hard reset? thats your best option
like stylez said, find the stock rom that was already on your phone and flash that.
i know you said you cant find it but it'll be online somewhere
look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726&highlight=official+roms
The key here is that you find your original stock rom, I had the same issue a while ago and took some time to get my stock rom in the web, since the forum didn't have it. I found it in the rapidshare library http://rapidlibrary.com/index.php?q=rapidshare+library, searching under HTC s621 rom. Additionally, have u try method # 3 in the unbricking tutorial? It worked for me.
