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!

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I am stuck at a dead end.
tried to upgrade PDAL ROM to 3.0 (from 2.01)
Got a blue i-mate screen never went out of it.
tried all the hardreset tricks, no use.
tried to reinstall RUU with activesync, no use.
What else can be done?
for example, would it be possible to delete the ROM totally and reinstall it? how?
Appreciate your comments
regards
sy
I have the same problem
Would anybody be able to help, please reply to us. Thanks!
I've just spoken to the customer service from i-Mate. This issue can only be resolved by their service centre. So, no any simple solution so far.
Please be aware when you want to upgrade it.
my device is in service center for 7 days and they could not come up with a solution. I hope it is because they did not start working on it yet
1. Download Romupdate v1.11a
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 Romupdate v1.11a (from downloaded)
5. from left top corner drop down menu Port: Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM1 try unplugging the USB and replugging it)
6. press OK button
7. type "set 14 0" without the quotes in blank window that showed up to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
8.press enter to execute
9. on next line you will see:
HTCST ÚÈÒHTCEUSB>
10.type "task 28" (no quotes) right after > sign to get your device formatted
11.press enter to execute, you gonna see:
DOC_format_HW+
DOCInfoTableinitHW+
Binary0:dwSize=80000
BINFS0:dwSize=0
FAT0:dwSize=1000000
FAT1:dwSize=2BA0000
All:dwSize=3C20000
USB>
12. type "task 0" (no quotes) right atfter > sign to ask your device reboot
13.press enter to execute the command
14. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
good luck.
hi
wher i can find the Romupdate with arabic or without
and

th

PDAL Problem
I too am facing the same problem with my PDAL. I upgraded the rom version and now am just getting the initial blue screen with the imate details. Please help in solving this as i just cant seem to be going forward. Any ideas how to get the device booted up and working .
response to the above two question
1. How to enter Bootloader in PDAL?
I inquired the service people and was told it can be done by pressing power button and left soft key simuteneously and tap the reset hole. I have tried and it did work.
2. Any solution for not passing the welcome screen?
It seems there isn't any solution, other than sending to their service centre. It will take a long time. My phone has been there over 2 weeks but I was told they are still awaiting part. I guess they will replace the main board.
3. PDAL isn't HTC device?
I think it is. The code with HTC should be Pean. The service centre also listed it as HTC device. But I am not sure if MTTY can work.
How to enter Bootloader in PDAL?
my phone alwys login blu scren then restart
Im pressing power button + left soft key and tap the reset hole but not wok in Bootloader !!!
Flashing your Imate PDAL
Dear All,
I Have enough experience of Imate PDAL , It's too simple , just follow the steps below:
1- got any ROM version from Imate website "www.clubimate.com"
2- Format your Imate flash card using your PC ( use any USB card reader matches the size), "FORMAT WITH FAT OPTION ONLY , DON'T FORMAT WITH FAT32 " and keep it connected to your PC for now.
3- prepare your PC to show all hidden files using "folder option " from your PC control panel, without this you will not be able to access the below in step 5>
4- run the EXE ROM file of Imate Rom on your PC but don't follow the steps on the screen , just keep it waiting for an action)
5- now browse your PC ( go to your windows Temp folder in the boot sector of your windows " Example C:\Documents and Settings\Magdy\Local Settings\Temp"
6- Click your the right button of your mouse and chose ( arrange Icon by Modified )
7- go to the the last folder in the list and open it , you will find the following files inside that folder " CoolFlash_Comms.dll , GotoBL.exe, RUUShop.exe,WMIPL.DIP,WMUPDAT.DIP "
8- Mark the last two files "WMIPL.DIP,WMUPDAT.DIP" and copy them to your Flash Card , now you are ready to flash your mobile using your only flash card.
9- insert the flash card in your Imate PDAL , remove the Battery for 5 seconds and install it again .
10- now Press the two Bottons (Left button " above the green handset button" + Power Botton ) , the mobile will start flashing your mobile , after completion your mobile will restart automatically.
Enjoy
Hint: some other roms of Imate Pdal " Like the Chinese WM6 one " doesn't need the WMIPL.DIP file , it needs only the WMUPDAT.DIP to flash the device.
The above is safe and would not damage your Device but know that " NO DATA WOULD BE RECOVERED UNLESS YOU HAVE A BACKUP DATA FOR IT, THE DEVICE WILL BE AS FACTORY DEFAULT"
Hi Magdy, sorry for my english but i'm italian...
i bought a PDAL with english language (the seller said me that was italian ), so i would like to flash it in italian...how can i do? Is no problem to flashing, but i don't have any rom and I don't know hoe to retrieve it from the web...
In your experience, is possible to copy the italian rom from an italian PDAL (of my friend) to flash my pdal?
Is there a version of WM06 (also in english) avaiable?
thanks for all
1.download Romupdate v1.11? where?????????
Me too, where can i get this romupdater utility? and does it work with PDAL?
Thanks Magdy your procedure working fine
THANKS A LOT
For windows VISTA => C:\Users\YOUR ACOUNT\AppData\Local\Temp\is-KT0IV.tmp
Thanks for your post Magdy ! Works 100%
Greets from Romania !
Sorry for going off topic but my intentions are just to inform you guys that I just finished translating Chinese WM6 rom to English, I also added some packages and tweaked it to perform batter...
I made this rom for myself as I was unable to find and Eng WM6 rom for my PDAL and WM5 was out dated, but I also wanted to share it with you guys so that you can also enjoy using English WM6 on your PDAL devices.
So follow me.... PDAL_WM6_WWE_CellSmith.zip
dear magdi thanx alot working for me...
Hi, tried to use search and found a lot of information about that problem, but non of them solved my problem.
So, i have HTC Diamond (P3700) (ROM: 1.93.479.3.WWE, Radio: 1.00.25.05, Protocol: 52.29.25.12H, S/N: HT841GN13099)
Tried download latest ROM version from official website (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483), but when i wrote my S/N i got error message - Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
If i'll trying to download earlier ROM version (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=2) with the same S/N I haven't any problem (of course and can install it).
Also I tried to download all ROM version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699, but when installing these ROM I always get an error - ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDER ID
In other thread I found link to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem3, but when I was falling all instructions I get an error again (but now problem was with connection)
Also I wrote a letter to HTC support twice, but I didin't get any response
So maybe I can find somewhere S/N decoder to know more information about my phone (for e.gd phone was locked, or belonged to other operator?) and why I have problem when updating to the latest ROM version. Does anybody can suggest other solution to this problem?
You are unable to download the official rom from htc as your phone obviously was supplied by an operater who has put their own rom on it.
You need to proceed with a Hard-SPL if you wish to change ROM.
It sounds like you have an operater ROM so it's blocking your changing of the ROM to anything non-operater.
Read the wiki section for the Diamond here , especially the section : Upgrading / cooking / flashing.
with this section that clearly explains all you need to know about applying a Hard-SPL : Diamond Hard-SPL

Thanks for your advices.
When I bought that phone seller didn't mention that this phone belongs to some operator. So is it possible to get information to witch operator it belongs (phone doesn't have any operator brands on his self, and isn't any special application or images in it).
And one more time... is it realy possible that phone belongs to operator... because like I wrote before that i can download and install earlier ROM from official web site, but problem is only with the latest ROM.
Perhaps the download doesn't work as many people had problems installing the latest rom ? It would reboot into the bootscreen & block.
Maybe they have the download until they know why it screws up (but works perfect via an internal flash).
Dunno though, as it's weird you getting the 'operater' message.
Anyway, you can get the latest official rom in here, so you'll be able to flash your device.
Here's the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
Just flash it from the internal storage. Works fine. Extract the setup with winrar or something, then you will see 2 files - one approx 140Mb, the other one like 2Mb. Rename the big one to Diamimg.nbh and copy it to your internal storage.
* Soft Reset + Hold volume down button + back button <----
* Follow instructions on screen

Read here where it says "stops at 5% or invalid model id:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425
Next think about HardSPL.
1.93.479.3 if you had this rom in your device, and you tried to download from HTC Support site and get the "This is rom isnt for your device" you get this because there are NO 2.03.479.3 rom the BOLD tells you what region rom u are using. And If you download another rom and try to flash and get "invalid vendor" you MUST hard-spl your device, after that you can flash every rom you can find an example of region rom, I have put this at least 4 times now so people try o understand what i meen when speaking of region roms.

Thanks everyone for advices!
First i tried Kevbodian recommended method. Downloaded OliPro's NBH Util and tried rebuild NBH file, but program generates only empty file (0Kb - size), maybe it doesn't work in Windows 7 So I'm fail.
Then tried laser21 method and succeed! I downloaded Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2312363&postcount=2), installed them, and made everything step by step like he wrote.
Phone works seams fine, but maybe a little bit slower , so I'm tried reinstall ROM one more time, but do that in standard way. Just downloaded _RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699) and ran it. Everything was fine (installation pass 100%) but than it shows - ERROR [270] - UPDATE ERROR, phone also restarted and shows information in red/green/blue/white background.
In red space
Code:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
In green space
Code:
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
Upgrade ROM code error
Place try again
So one more time I made like laser21 recommended - and phone works again. But can I do something more that latter update i can do in standard way ?
I'm not sure what you mean by:

But...If you are upgrading the ROM or Radio please use this highly recommend way.
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache

I did everything like you (and laser21) wrote. But now i have problem when updating ROM in standart way - downloading official ROM exe file, and ran it (like I wrote before, after 100% proceed it display error that update unsucceed)
So why now I can't update ROM in standard way, maybe is solution to fix that problem ?

Hi
I have an ASUS P526 and I had a problem of not being able to turn the PHONE function on.
The Communicaton Manager did not have the option to turn on the phone,
and I could not establish a USB connection to my PC via ActiveSync : It said "Cannot open UFN drivers"
I was using Windows Mobile 6.0
So I decided to flash the OS ROM. I downloaded SCHIST ROM v21864_clean and flashed the OS with the flash.dio.nb0 included in the download.
(i.e. I did not extract any flash.dio.nb0 files from my own ROM)
Now, when I turn on the phone, I get the Windows Mobile 6.5 SCHIST ROM 21864 clean screen and cannot log on to windows.
This is probably because I tried to flash an ASUS P526 with ASUS P527 ROM, but I could not find any other ROM to flash with.
When I download the original P526 ROM from the ASUS Website
(e.g. V618_WWE_Turkey_EXT_V158 ), I get a P526.pim file, but PIMSPLIT.EXE does not extract any " *.nb0 " files when I drag P526.pim onto it..
I am totally confused as to what to do at this point..
Please help!
I just want to be able to use Windows Mobile 6.0 , 6.1 or 6.5 with the phone, and be able to use the phone function, as well...
PS: The only way for me to flash the ROM on the phone, is with the SD card method, because ActiveSync does not work.
Hi
Tell me one thing, if you make a Softreset and click the OK button on the left will be in bootloader?
If so something can be done without sd.
The procedure is done using a ROM file.nbo, but first you must unlock the phone ...
Let me know and we'll see
Excuse my English
What do you mean Active Sync does not work? Is it a mechanical problem or a program incompatibility?
Try this: this is Expert mode in installing the Turkey ROM (or any other language).
Warning: Do this at your own risk! If not done right you might brick your phone! I will not be responsible for any damage done to your phone.
1.Make sure battery is fully charged.
2. connect your devide to PC using USB cable.
3. Run the ROM upgrade program you downloaded from ASUS site,
4. On the top bar of the installation window, "right click". A window will appear with the option "Expert Mode". Click on that. A message will appear in the window about connect USB or something (I'm sorry but I cannot remember the exact message since I have not done this in a long time).
5. Now you have to go to bootloader mode in your P526. Do this by pressing and HOLDING on the OK button <rocker switch on the left side> then press reset button <continue hoding down the rocker switch>. Your unit should go to the blue ASUS screen and a message will appear about being in USB mode or cable something <again I'm sorry I cannot remember exact message>.

What do you mean Active Sync does not work? Is it a mechanical problem or a program incompatibility?
Try this: this is Expert mode in installing the Turkey ROM (or any other language).
Warning: Do this at your own risk! If not done right you might brick your phone! I will not be responsible for any damage done to your phone.
1.Make sure battery is fully charged.
2. connect your devide to PC using USB cable.
3. Run the ROM upgrade program you downloaded from ASUS site,
4. On the top bar of the installation window, "right click". A window will appear with the option "Expert Mode". Click on that. A message will appear in the window about connect USB or something (I'm sorry but I cannot remember the exact message since I have not done this in a long time).
5. Now you have to go to bootloader mode in your P526. Do this by pressing and HOLDING on the OK button <rocker switch on the left side> then press reset button <continue hoding down the rocker switch>. Your unit should go to the blue ASUS screen and a message will appear about being in USB mode or cable something <again I'm sorry I cannot remember exact message>.
6. If this appears then press the <Update> button on the installer window. This should start the installation proces.
Hope this helps. if you have any other questions or if this does not work please feel free to post again.

Hello,
Here is guide to flash HTC Universal. Tested and used in Win XP.
Guide is from old version of xda-wiki.
Look for step 4.
Best Radio version for Me is 1.17.00
This works for when the Universal is in Bootloader and Windows Mobile.
1. First download the ROM you want to install.
2. Extract it to a folder (use winar or other extraction software).
3. There will be up to 3 ROMs in the package: ms_.nbf (Extended ROM), nk.nbf (OS ROM), radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
4. Delete those which you don't want to install. (If you just want to upgrade the radio rom for instance delete ms_.nbf and nk.nbf and leave radio_.nbf.)
5. Download UniversalRUU.zip
6. Extract it and copy into that folder the nbf files you want to install.
7. Enter BootLoader mode by pressing and holding the power button and backlight button whilst performing a reset with the stylus.
8. Doubleclick ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow the instructions
9. When the upgrade is finished pull out the USB cable from the Universal.
10. You will need to do a soft reset OR hard reset depending on the situation. (note: some say do a soft reset / others a hard reset .. possibly someone with more knowledge could correct me here, but until then it's best to investigate the matter for yourself on the forum.)
11. To do a hard reset (push the two menu buttons ("-") on the keyboard + the reset button at the same time (all of this three). Doing a hard reset will result in you losing all your installed apps and data so ensure you have a backup of everything first.) Everything should be fine from this time. You have to calibrate the screen and do some tutorial...
12. If after doing a hard reset you want your Universal not to install the extras from the Extended ROM wait untilsetup is complete and then do a softreset when the popup window appears (you have 3 seconds before it installs ExtendedROM)
Thanks)
That what I exactly needed
Tomorrow will be test day.
