ok, so i have the mda III, also called xda 2k or htc blueangel. i played around withit, trying to install some software, but aparrently something went wrong, because now it says serial (or usb when connected to computer) and v. 2.07. ive tried looking through forums and stuff like that but that didnt really work out... can some one pleas tell me how to either get back to the os i hade or upgrade it to wm 5 or 6? and please include the links of where to find the rom or the software i have to use. i do have this device manager thing and my computer runs on vista. id really appreciate it.
PS if you could tell me everything step by step in blonde speed, for example what to name the folders and stuff like that, thatd be great !
oh yeah and PPS: the phone doesnt show up on my computer...

First of all, apologies for being a noob, especially if this question has been asked many times before....i realise that will be annoying (ive tried to search though, honest!!)
Every ROM Ive tried to update to my device keeps encountering the same problem:
I have the device connected at all times, and ActiveSync (4.5) is running....the device and my machine even go through a sync there and then.
I run the ROM program, and click through all the screens.....it checks my device, asks if i want to continue and heads to the % screen.
It interogates my device for a minute of so, then ActiveSync simply switches off, on the device screen there no longer appears to be a sync/connection, and then i get a "ERROR [260] : CONNECTION" message - the device has been connected physically all along but as I explained above has happened.
Its the HTC Touch (I assume im on the right forum, i was directed here!!), WM6 in French language (all the ROMS ive been trying are to WWE) Its that the prob, cant I go from WM6 Fre to WM6 WEE??
Also, the phone is currently SIM locked.....does that make a difference??
Is there something obvious (to you experts) that I'm not doing???
Thanks for your time, as I say, any help would be appreciated, since im trying to make a fist of this myself whith no prior knowledge in the subject!!
do you use vista or XP ?
do you try to use another usb cable ?
PS: you are in trinity section not the touch one

Cheers again, but erm.....i dont speak fluent french. The reason the phone's WM6 is in French is becuase i was given it by a family member who found it on holiday in spain (minus sim and contacts, so we have no way of finding out whos it is etc).
Any chance of a translation!!?? LOL
Use hard SSpl from DES check the Wiki page.

Hi there, new guy here and with a big problem
i have a bluemedia pda 255, from what i understand it's the same thing with mio 168 (or not?), anyway, it was using a windows mobile 2003 SE in german and i tried to change it to english using a .bin image i found on the web.
now when it starts all i see is a white screen and nothing more, and that wouldnt be such a big problem if i could enter the upgrade tools mode, but i cant do that either, so it simply stays all blank all the time. I can connect it to my pc via usb and i can browse all the pda's files using activesync, but that's all i can do.
Before i started i've made a backup using activesync and another backup using osloader. Now i've tried the activesync backup and i get an error message telling me that the backup version is different from the one on the pocket pc.
The .ppcrom file that i've made using osloader i dont know how to use it to restore my old OS withouth having to access the pda (sience i cant).
from what i understand, there is a way to fix it using JTAG, but that's science fiction to me (i only had this pda for about two days, and this is my first pda also, so i'm a real newbie), i cant find any sort of professional service in this town to get help from them.
so... any help, any help at all would be welcomed
...is there nobody?
Hi,
I do not have the pda you have but do have some advice.
You keep saying "from what i understand" , did you get this "understanding" from this site or another?
If you got it here, please post your problem to the forum thread that has the info.
If you got it elsewhere, you may want to post there and see what response you can get.
Not trying to be cavalier here but a person can only help if they have had the experience of the pda you own, if they do not, they most likely will not post advice.
Good luck.
well. no... my understanding did not came from here, i have it from a thread started in 2005 (other site)and i asked there also, i also agree that someone can help only if he has the experience of this pda...
which is more likely why i find myself in this situation, i think i followed the upgrade guide from another pda
and about the advice, sience at this moment all i can do with the pda is to throw it at the garbage, im willing to try anything on it
id even try the jtag thingie, that requires me to open up the pda and mess around inside, but i have a great lack of info about the subject and no expertise whatsoever
kind thanks for your advices, as i said before, they are welcomed!
ok, something else then, does anyone have the RUU? the rom update utility in german for my kind of ppc? thanks
I have the same problem !
"English ROM wince2003se for MIO 168
Full working tested on a mio 168 , on a Bluemedia 255 and on a yakumo 300 GPS
" - http://home.scarlet.be/lataupe/W2003se_MIO168_168WWER27.rar ,but the result is blank screen and I have no idea how to fix the problem ? Any advice ?
I have a xda IIs, and yesterday when i tried upgrading it to the new rom, from o2's website, there was a connection error during the upgrade (for no apparent reason), but now it is stuck in what looks like a bootloader so something, with just usb v2.07 on the screen.
So i was just wondering if anyone could help me, as i could really do with it working.
p.s. i didn't know if it's possible to load a live rom or anything from a sd card, like you would a computer.
plus i don't mind if it can't run windows as long as theres an operating system i could use on it, that would allow me to use the wifi.
Thanks
surly someone know something to do, Please!!!

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FAQ_Bootloader_mode
Thanks, but the problem is the computer never see's that the device is there, how ever long i leave it, and see i get a connection error when i go to install the rom, because it dosn't thing it's there.

grammar
ha what can i say i never really was any good with grammar
alright im about ready to give up ive done the registry hack and went as far as to rip an img myself from a game and tryed it straight and compressed into iso format i realize im using the Fuze (Raphael) and ive posted their too i thought the diamond was basicly the same but i dont know the only thing i can think of is that fpsece was made for armv4 and armv5 and wm 2003 not an armv6 with wm 6.1 so if you actually got it to work please tell me how you did it otherwise im clasifying this as impossible.
ive got it to work a little bit i had to throw it on my phone memory instead of the sd car but its still ridiculously slow so im gonna try to find a game small enough to put on m internal memory and see if that helps
Here's my phone info:
AT&T Tilt 2 6.5 (says world phone when it starts up)
CE OS 5.2.21849
ROM: 1.59.502.3
Radio: 4.48.25.20
480 x 800 resolution
I've tried for several days to hack, install, flash, jailbreak, etc.
*~*NOTHING WORKS*~*
I've researched this sight until wee hours in the morning all this week - nothing helps...
Suggestions...comments...please, at least no bashing me...I waited several days to post this as I have done my research but I'm just too tired of looking and can't figure it out...
All I want to do is freakin' put a new rom on my phone...I like NRGZ28's roms and I've put the stupid Hard SPL Olinix or whatnot on my phone.
But beyond that I've read every manual and text file but it just won't work...
also...
what other rom's are out there that i can try???

You should post this in the NRG ROM thread, or even better the "Flashing ROM for NOOBs", you will get more support there. Also, list your current ROM. If you have hard SPL then all you need to do is download the NRG ROM, extract it from the 7-zip archive, and put both the files in a folder. Connect your phone via activesync, and then execute the custom RRU exe program. I have flashed several times.
You don't say what errors you are getting - people need as much information as possible.
@ Lennyz1988
thanks but the page you sent me would be one of those text files, explanations, etc that I already read a million times and isn't specific enough for me
one of the main problems is that when documents explain unzipping, unraring, etc, MOST (not always) of the time they never state specifically to where it must be unzipped/unrarred: to the computer desktop? a specific folder in the phone's memory? the sd card?
however, i did hard spl my phone, when i enter bootloader mode it does show the olinix thing on it, so is this the rom number i need to list?? does it have anything to do with rom?
@ stevedebi, isn't the rom number i listed the one that's needed? what other info is needed as i don't think there is anymore info i can get off my phone that i didn't list, but being a noob please explain away so i can get this straight
*~*~*~*~ wait, i think u mean this...it has the 6.5 rom that it came with when i bought it...is that what you're looking for??

With the HARD SPL you now can use custom roms because youre TP2 is not Vendor locked anymore ;-)
But he is not SIM unlocked
ok...

no offense...but what does this mean?
For example, I go to NRGZ28's ROM page. I've already hard spl-ed my phone. Check.
Next, I unzip (just 5minutes ago) the 7z file that comes with the customruu.exe and try to set it up on my phone. Fail.
The attachment is what I see every time without fail. No progress beyond this point...help?
THANKS - PROBLEM SOLVED ON THE FLASHING ROM PAGE!!! THANKS A MILLION TO STEVIEWEVIE!!!!

Since you took the time to post your problem on THIS forum, please respond with WHAT you actually did to fix your issue. It is kinda not cool to get everyone to help you, then when you solve your issue, just say problem solved and not say what you did. No offense, not bashing you, just let everyone else know what worked to fix your issue.
solution
PROBLEM SOLVED! SOLUTION BELOW:
i guess i never actually extracted the folder like i thought i had already done - PLUS i also moved to a separate folder to keep it apart from ALL other rom's i was trying to flash
