enjoy my friends..
A "real" version of WM2003, I bet O2 wont follow suit.
Yeah it is the final.. its very nice i installed it and its way faster and doesnt crash.. very pleased.. although the .exe file sucks and wouldnt install so i just loaded it onto a sd card and used the bootloader to get it on the pda..
great.... this is what i've been waiting for... for months.... the dream finally come true... hehehehehehehe....
Can I install this on an asian version?
Will it force-upgrade my radio stack?
I presume this is for US market? So it will be on 1900.
Its shown on the website that it can be "Auto band selection when traveling overseas", so does I can use the 900/1800 band when in asia and uk?
the other thing, can I just put out the .nb1 file from this exe installer and then replace with the one inside the "cooked" rom? will it cause error?
yes you can... extract the .exe file using Winzip or Winrar
take the Nk.nbf file, use XDAtool or XDarit tool to burn it on your SD card, upgrade using SD method... then it will only upgrade your ROM not your radio stack
what "extras" does it have, and what AT&T WS programs does it have.
Now hopefully T-Mobile will release theirs soon.
hi,
has anyone tried to run the file once its downloaded???
just downloaded it myself and double clicked on the exe and i get a corrupt message...
anyone having any luck with this???
Thanks alot
Zetex
Working OK
I extracted the all the files from the downloaded file using winzip. I then used xdatools to copy the nk.nbf image to my xda.
It worked .... no problems so far running the WM2003 ROM.
I guess I was taking a few risks and would have been better copying the nk.nbf to a SD card and then use the bootloader method but I didn't have an SD card handy.
Hope this helps.
zetex
dont do that if you upgrade using the exe then you'll prob get the radiostack aswell and if it's an us radiostack you'll loose your gsm 900/1800
hi m8,
what the best way of putting on my xda1 and also upgrading my radio stack to v4.21.
my radio stack is currently v4.20. I have recently used the xdatools to load the beta version A.20.07 ENG version of wm2003.
What will i need to laod this version and also upgrade my radio stack to v4.21. IS v4.21 the best for the UK???
should i extract the nb1 from the exe and use xdatools like last time???
Thnaks alot
Zetex
From what I've seen on this forum, I think v4.21 is the most recent & best radio stack for the UK. Follow the links from http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgrade/0,,170,00.html to obtain it.
As for the new A30.09 ROM, I extracted the nbf and then used xdatools. I think xdatools converts the nbf to a nb1 if you put it on an SD card but I don't really know too much about it.
hi,
i ahve just downloaded the radio stack from O2 v4.21. I have tried to upgrade through active sync 3.71 it upgraded ok, but when i went to restart the xda it gets stuck on the boot screen. the one that says test not for resale... and at the bottom right hand corner its says A.30.07 and then locks up.
normally before i tried to upgrade it said A.30.07 the underneath it said 4.20...
anybody know what i need to do to correct it??
Thnaks alot
Zetex
I can't even get the damn thing to download
How does this compare to the T-Mobile Rom 4.01.00 ? I'm in the UK and O2 don't appear to be releasing a Rom so I'll be going with one of the US ones..
I currently have 4.01.00 on my XDA and it is fairly stable, with only a few minor quibbles.. is the Siemens Rom better in any way ?
Cheers
I had no problem downloading, a little slow but it came across ok. By the way, I am in need of an early radio upgrade for O2 xda, anything before 4.21.
what version of the radio update is included in this version ???
fcan anyone fillme in. thanks
Does anyone know if this rom has WMODEM.exe (wireless modem program)?
something went wrong
I just did the sd install of the attws mobile 2003, and my radio stack is not working. If I go into the bootloader I get the message gsm error. I have tried to install the rsupgrade into the windows folder in the sx56 after I execute the file it will get to 1% and then it will say failed and press ok to restart. I do the restart and it trys to reload the radio stack again and then says failed. The only way to get it our of this loop is to do a hard reset and then wait ten minutes for the sx56 to start again. I hope someone can help me. Thanks.
p.s. I don't have a battery meter either and the sx56 charge light doesn't work either.
Hi all - I've just corrected the link on the MPx200.org page (it originally pointed to an international link, but knowing that it is for the US version, I searched the US pages for an alternative link) so if you were having problems getting it before, you should be able to click on the valid US link now.
I have read all of the posts about false positives for Viruses. I have tried completely cutting off my AVP (norton) as well then I get error 0x80004007 I have tried adding a DEP exception, but I am unable to unzip the HLSP to find the .exe to add. I hope I am posting this in the right place, could someone please help me or guide me to a place where I might find some help.

you could try downloading it using your phone, and then transfer it via usb to your computer, if its just your avp keeping you from downloading it.
my guess is that youre using vista or 7 right?
my best advice is if at all possible, use a computer with xp sp3. i have tried on vista a zillion times and it never finishes flashing a rom for me, and wouldnt hspl either.
i know alot of people have had success using vista and 7, but imho its best to save yourself the trouble if possible and use xp at least for hspl, since it'd be a pain to fix if it errored halfways thru and you only have to hspl once. with a rom, not as big a deal, just have to re-flash if it went bad or at worst flash from sd card
Yes, I am using Vista it seems to download fine. The file is 1,891kb. I had not thought about downloading it to my phone, unzipping it and sending it to my PC. I do not have access to a SP3 XP computer. I guess I will try my luck with vista tonight and if it does not work I will just have to wait for my contract to expire and get and ANDROID.
Ask around (friends, family, etc.) for a computer with XP, somebody has to have one. And certainly better than waiting around for your contract to expire and buy a new phone. Just between my wife and I, we have three XP systems!
I managed to get the HSPL Program working by downloading it on my phone and transfering it. I tried auto and manual to no avail. I got the commercial use error and tried to donate but when i dialed *#6# I could not find the IMEI number. Behind my battery there are 2 numbers, which would I use to donate with? I would not want to donate and not be able to benefit from it. If I use try to HSPL on another computer will I have to donate in order to get it to work?
Why do you need the imei number? When you run the hardspl program, you follow the instructions and donate true the program. You never need to search for you imei number (atleast I can't remember that)
The donation page asks for it. I donated and am still unable to get it to work. Does any one know the best way to contact Olipro?

My IMEI number is the one on the top, and is all numbers. The SN on mine has letter and numbers. On my ATT Tilt2 it says "IMEI" and "SN".
You need to do *#06#. Don't drop the "0"...
Also if you have not Hard SPLed a rhodium from your PC before it should allow you to do it without the donation. Donate if you want, it helps for when you get a new device so the HSPL is done for that too, but you shouldn't need to to HSPL your first rhodium.
Cheers....
I did donate, I still did not have any luck. I can only hope they will respond to my emails/support ticket. It is not looking to good after reading the main HSPL thread. Anyone got any other tips for a CDMA TP2 on USCC.
Dear ,
I have a problem, when I was trying to run HSPL in Auto mode or even Manual mode the program is stop working and close >>>> Please help
Make sure you are using the CDMA HSPL... There are 2 - GSM & CDMA. HSPL GSM shouldn't allow itself to be flashed onto a CDMA phone and vice versa, though you CAN flash the wrong OS if you don't have HSPL...

BIG thanks to Teradog at ppcgeeks
For all who are having problems with the Olinex HSPL check it out and post there. I am having a nightmare of a time trying to make the HSPL package I downloaded to work. It keeps insisting that I pay. However these guys are seemingly not around to offer support, and therefore I am concerned about paying for something without support. I am trying to find other solutions. Good Luck.

Step by step instructions for solving your problem:
1. Stop wasting time on this board
2. Apply for a part time job
3. Get job
4. Use cash from job to pay developers for their work
very useful posts - not.
i pay apps, but if apps have NO try version so i should pay 6 € for a app, that i dont know? not rly guys... or without unlock i cant use accent changer or something else. so please dont msg me with "get job" or something like that... very childish. u dont know me so u cant judge about me!

We don't know you, but we can judge you based off of your posts. If you are not willing to take a chance on a 6buck game, then don't.
But when you come on here advocating piracy, you will get flamed and possible banned. I wonder if you ever went back and bought any of those games after "trialing" them.... I bet not.

I have a Italian htc mozart with nodo.
I would like to downgrade to unlock it
there is a method?
Hi,
I have a HTC Mozart from the German T-Mobile.
Because it took me to much time to wait for NoDo I flashed with a HTC debranded Rom and made the update to NoDo.
Now I would like to go back to the Build 7004 of the debranded Rom to make the unlock / jailbreak and later update to NoDo.
So I thougt I just flash the debranded Rom over my current NoDo Phone.
But everytime I flash it, there is still NoDo!!!
The Rom didn't had NoDo when I flashed it in the first place. It seems like flashing doesn't work or the Phone updates it self during the first start up.
I tried it more than one time.
Flashing back to the original T-Mobile Rom brings me back to Build 7004. But when I flash now the debrandet Rom it will be NoDo!
Anybody have an idea?
I have known enough of the HTC hardware architecture over the years to realize that re-imaging should be a no-brainer but also that the devil is in the partitions. However, for some unexplained reason, Mr. Watson's note/warning makes me wonder if reflashing will actually leave it just as new...
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...all-updated-windows-phones-are-not-alike.aspx
Are you flashing using all the nbh files (meaning, *all* partitions)? What tool are you using to flash? Maybe that scenario is what he describes in his post, where there are leftovers? {however should not apply if flashing} But, you say that using the original ROM does bring everything back to 7004. Odd indeed.
As a final note and taking a different approach, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671743. He mentions that when dumping there is a bunch of unkown partitions. What if the update stored some update-related stuff, applicable only to the unbranded version (in other words, those alledged update bits being version specific)? Such a conspiracy theory would suit your scenario.
Hi fosormic,
thanks for your answer.
Maybe I can solve the problem flashing another Rom from this site. It really seems like there is a rest of the NoDo-Update on the Phone for the HTC Rom.
But even when I flash down to 7004 with the T-Mobile Rom the NoDo pieces will stay.
A friend using Android asked me if it's not possible to set an option to erase the whole phone before flashing. That could be an option but I'm not sure if it's available on Windows Phone.
OK, I will work with the T-Mobile Rom. Do you think it will work installing NoDo and later flash back to the 7004 Version?
Regards
Dennis

Hi there, to be honest I have no clue. I suspect your friend is a Samsung user (I have 3 devices) and yes you can repartition a Samsung and very easily mess it up beyond almost almost any help. I have never seen a repartitionable HTC device but my knowledge at such low level is quite superficial. From the bootloader viewpoint they do seem almost identical (newer versions aside) to me.
Sorry not to be more helpful. It is more of an academic thing to me but I know it is a real deal to you
Best of luck mate,
Hi,
I just bought myself a Desire HD and took it into the local shop to have it unlocked. However, according to the bloke in the shop, he used the wrong software (for Virgin) instead of the software for T Mobile and now my phone isn't starting up. He says that he is waiting for some software to be sent to him, so that he can reflash the correct software onto the phone. Obviously, I am rather worried about this, so can anyone confirm that this is possible and that my phone will be OK. And that iut is a known problem. Apparently he was supposed to have used the software for T Mobile to unlock it, but after using the Virgin software the phone has two conflicting programs trying to run at the same time. A|ny advice will be very welcome.
Many thanks
Ian
Yikes. They better fix it or replace it. Surprises me that most of the problems with peoples phones are from shops like this. If he has fastboot or adb access he should be fine. Though he should be able to snag what he wants from xda and fix it. Sounds like they are giving you the run around because they can't figure it out. I would demand a replacement.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Thanks for the quick reply. He has said that he is waiting for the correct software to be sent so that he can reflash the phone back to t mobile and then unlock the phone. This is really P'ing me off at the mo because, I have just bought this phone today to upgrade fron an LG optimus GT540 and was looking forward to playing with it and rooting it like I did the Optimus. If he doesn't sort it out by the end of tomorrow, I will be demanding a replacement.
to be honest if you are talking about rooting and already on here reading up etc i dont know why you even took it to a phone shop in the first place ,dont want to sound harsh but come on!! unlocking is free via a few methods if you read some of the guides and ofcourse if you got stuck then you have us here on xda to help
How exactly does your phone behave? Does it stay black when pushing the power button or hang at the HTC logo etc?
Sent from Desire HD using XDA app.
First of all, I took the phone to a shop because I didn't realise it could be done free from here. I have rooted my LG Optimus which is a much cheaper phone and so I know I can do it. However, I have never unlocked a phone, so I thought I would take it to a shop and have it done SAFELY.
Hiya unhallowedone, he showed me the phone and it has a white screen with ab few lines of text on it in (if I remember rightly) red and blue font.
I phoned him again today and he said that the website had sent the wrong software and he was still waiting for the right software and that it may be after Christmas before it is fixed. I have tried telling him that it either needs to be fixed by end of trading Saturday or I want a replacement, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. I am going to see him face to face tomorrow morning to see what he says.
Thats the HBOOT screen, you can recover the device from there. You need a T-Mob UK RUU.
Do you know if you were running Gingerbread or Froyo?
Hiya Andy, it is running 2.2 Froyo. If I can download the software myself I will take it to him lol. He has said that due to his messup the phone now has both T mobile and Virgin software on it which obviously is incompatible and causing the problem and that he needs to reflash the original T mobile software to put it right. He is supposed to be getting it fromn a specific website that apparently is very slow in answering back and sending out downloads.
The lastest available RUU (ROM Update Utility) for T-Mobile UK is 1.75, which is Froyo.
http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
It should be bottom of the list.
RUU_Ace_TMO_UK_1.75.110.2_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163304_signed.exe
You may need HTC Sync installed on the PC which will run the RUU. This is purely for drivers & such.
If your software version is higher than x.75.xxx.x it will not work, as you cannot downgrade without a Goldcard.
OK thanks, I am downloading it now and will take it in tomorrow morning. Hopefully if there are any problems, seeing as he is a supposedly proffesional shop, he will have a goldcard to sort it out.
I doubt they'd have a goldcard, but you never know!
If you get a "Main Version is Newer" type error then your firmware is newer and you will need the goldcard.
To make things quicker & easier, once the RUU has downloaded, run the ~.exe file until you get to the first prompt. Now search your computer for "rom.zip", (It is extracted when you run the RUU~.exe) It may be hidden in you local temp files.
Once found, copy to your desktop & rename "PD98IMG.zip". Pop this on a spare micro-sd, USB flash of if still in the stone ages a CD-ROM . You need to get this onto the SD card in the phone, don't put it in a folder, just straight on the card.
Next time you phone boots into HBOOT (Power + Vol Down) it will load the PD98IMG.zip automagically and prompt you to flash without using a PC.
Thanks for all your help, I am just looking for the ROM.ZIP file now. Hopefully this will sort it out as I would like to start playing with my new phone. Also, he wasn't impressed when I told him if it wasn't ready be Christmas, I wanted a replacement phone lol.
The rom.zip file will be in a hidden folder, so be sure to search them too. Once you close the RUU.exe the file is deleted, so be sure to keep it open while you find it.
If you do need a goldcard, and you ask for a replacement, be sure to perform a factory reset, that is available in the HBOOT menu, use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to enter.
Hi, I might sound green, but is it actually called rom.zip as I have looked in the temp folder and there is nothing there even whilst the prompt is still there.
I have found these two files that appear when I start the exe file:
ispr1622.rra
fd64.rra
If you type %TEMP% in cmd prompt it will take you to folder. It will be the newest zip file.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Had a look, I did have the right folder in the first place, but no zip file seems to appear when I run the exec file. Will have to have another go at it and see what is wrong. But thank you for your help. If nothing else, then I will take in the exec file and he can install it using a PC.
I'll see if I can extract it and just rename it and post it with my dropbox.
Update:
I was able to find it. File structure of the temp file was much different than what I have seen before. I am uploading it now and will post a link when done.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Here it is. It's been renamed pd98img already so just move it to root of sd card and flash through hboot.

Thank you so very much for that, he has just phoned me and said that he has the phone working, but has not unlocked it. I am now going to pick it up and see what has actually happened to it. Fingers crossed he hasn't done any damage. However, I may very qwell flash my phone with this software so that I know where I am at and I can then take it from there. I think i will give unlockinbg the phone myself a go. I don't see as I can do any worse than he has lol.
Okay. So i thought itd be cool to be able to update to WIndows 7.8 RTM that was posted here on XDA without making a custom rom or wiping files (basically a clean easy update anyone who could push a cab to their phone can do.)
Anyways, i downloaded the RTM build and a Tango update cab to compare files with and see how to name the files and what id need.
Turns out, it was pretty straightforward at first. All the files within the cab had identical files (as far as filenames and types, except they were the 7.8 RTM versions.) within the system files folder of the rar of the RTM. so i packaged all the proper folders as cabs with the appropriate filenames (folder.version.coming.from-version.going.to.cab) and used a batch renamer to add the .pku extension to the end of the files as so to match the style of the tango cab (the tango update cab contains cabs with the .pku added on the end. once i removed .pku, making it a .cab file they open perfectly.) then i packaged all the .cab.pku files as a cab. So far so good. It looked like a WP7 update cab. THEN...
When i tried pushing the cab to my device, i learned it has to be signed...
I tried signing it with a copy of the certificate i pulled from the tango cab. No luck. need the private key.
Then i tried a certificate existing on my pc, created by zune, that i had a private key for. No go.
Created a key and certificate in MakeCer. No go.
Upon using a cab signing tool i found online for signing Windows Mobile Cabs with some generic sdk certificate, i got the error 8007000b.
Overall, my cab wont sign, idk if this works, im not very good at this stuff, and idk what im doing wrong. Can anyone help?
Perhaps sign the cab file?
Or is this all futile, and would my idea not work anyways (i figured it wouldnt hurt to try. With an update i figured worse case scenario i boot into restore mode and restore from a backup.)
Or does it have to be signedby microsoft, still making it futile?
My Update Cab (Skydrive, Public Link): http://sdrv.ms/12cw9pf
NOTE: Yes, i know the tango update was only 20 -30mb, while mine is over 180. The RTM contained more system files than the tango update, most likely due to it containing new features and OS modifications. Also, should i of excluded the EXEs from some of the folders from the cabs?

nice try , never going to work
first :
the Tango cab is a .pku , that is a DIFF Image update it is the DIFF between what is on phone and what got updated ( thats way it is so small)
second:
the 8858 DUMP is canoncial , so ist the whole flie ( thats way it is 180 mb)
third:
cab.pkr/pkg/pku Needs tobe signed with the sert on the phone ( so for stock roms this means MS Needs to sign them )
the supercab also Needs tobe signed by OEM or MS
so you did all the work for nothing

You can get the right files into the cab and sign it with ultrashot certificate perhaps? Ppl with custom roms can use it and your work wouldn't be a complete waste. This is assuming this cab update won't have any effect on the unlock itself

Hehe... im not so good with that stuff. The reason i tried at all is because i noticed the RTM 7.8 contained the same files as the update cab for 7.5. Problem is, i apparently require the knowledge of which files are updated (because the way i apparently had made it it would of replaced dang near every system file) as well as i have no clue on how to sign it. i noted that i couldnt sign the cab with my own signing certificate, so im at a complete loss... my apologies. (if anyone wants to take my cab and see if they can do something with it be my guest, but im not very experienced with this.)

Yes this is my first time, and i have learned some things.
A: Just because its in the RTM doesnt mean it should be in the Update cab
B: If you want to use updates on stock roms, you must have the cab signed by microsoft, so No Update For You
C: Its a pain in the rear to sign a cab with a certificate you own (at least it was for me. Still unsuccessful)
D: Windows Phone has .EXE's
E: Windows Phone has a lot of files
F: LG Has a locked bootloader (what pushed me to try this was when i learned LG's (like my quantum) cant have custom roms)

u can have all the goodness of custom roms with interop unlock itself..interop unlock using mfg app, install wp7roottools and mark apps that require root access as trusted in wp7roottools policy editor and u r good to go..

Nope. You see, the whole point would be (if I was to try would be) to make a 7.8 rom. Idgaf about the "goodness" of custom roms, and only reason I use wp7root tools is for MarketplaceSwitcher (the fixed version). I cant get 7.8 using interop unlock. I need a custom rom to get it. Problem is, LG windows phones have a locked bootloader. Translation: No custom roms. Meaning the purpose of creating a custom rom would be pointless.
That's why I attempted to make an update CAB. Those could be pushed via the cab updater method, which works with any wp7 handset, and wouldn't erase my data as well. Problem? Official roms cant be updated via cabs with anything other than Microsoft signed cabs. So my attempts were futile.
Thank goodness, though, that 7.8 should be coming to some handsets on the 30th. Im hoping some people catch those cabs and post them (because I CAN use the cab updater method, given that the packages are Microsoft signed, as stated above.):fingers-crossed:
Not sure I know what you mean by goodness of custom roms, wp7 is about as lean as you can get, its not like the good old wm days where different builds were available on different devices an full of stuff, or android where its full of crap, if its just to restore with some apps preinstalled then make a Zune backup and restore from that when You need to

nice try , never going to work
first :
the Tango cab is a .pku , that is a DIFF Image update it is the DIFF between what is on phone and what got updated ( thats way it is so small)
second:
the 8858 DUMP is canoncial , so ist the whole flie ( thats way it is 180 mb)
third:
cab.pkr/pkg/pku Needs tobe signed with the sert on the phone ( so for stock roms this means MS Needs to sign them )
the supercab also Needs tobe signed by OEM or MS
so you did all the work for nothing

What the person meant and that I was referring to by "goodness of custom roms" is that some WP7 roms have all the Nokia goodies baked in and can run software that regular WP7 cant due to software restrictions. Such as some include the Nokia drivers and files to run City Lens and use Camera Extras. The nokia extras, even though they can be installed on any windows phone (granted you have root tools and marketplace switcher to access the "Nokia Collection"), some require special drivers and files in order to work (including Bluetooth file transfer, which uses extra APIs and drivers not included out of the box by Microsoft for the upcoming 7.8).
All of which may achievable in the near future, bar pre installed apps of course, but the running of custom drivers may be possible, and as I said, install what you want, back it up and boom, your own rom ready should you need to format

and like I said, all I want is the new home screen, rebranded tiles, and extra themes. Cant do that using apps.
Though the Nokia's should be getting the 7.8 update through zune tomorrow, so if someone could obtain the cab, ill be good. I don't want a rom anymore anyways. (I only would of wanted one in December. but now learning 7.8 is coming out tomorrow (albeit to specific devices) means I don't want to anymore, because I bet a dollar to a donut by the end of the week someone will of posted the update cabs, to which I will be good.)
Also, I tried adding drivers to my phone. Didn't work (followed steps to add correct drivers to my phone via WP7Root Tools and the drivers packaged in a xap that extracted them). But I don't really care, since I have an early beta of City Lens that supports my phone, so im good.
Overall, only reason I would rom is if I was desperate.
I cant actually use a true custom rom because of my device.
I understand your method, but its a back up, not really a "rom", since all my data is backed up with it, and I don't care about preinstalled apps anyways, since the apps I use are always changing. I don't prefer restoring my device unless 100% necessary (AKA: I screwed something up) so I don't do this.

It sounds like the only reason youd want a ROM then is to have got the 7.8 update? that's a fair enough reason but as you know its coming out soon anyway so its not really important.
With regards to your Drivers, yeah it cant be done with WP7 Root tools at the moment, I believe im right in saying (and is public knowledge I hope!) that's being worked on as we speak
actually whilst I have your attention, see your City lens app, do you have issues with compass calibration? is the beta any less sensitive perhaps? Ive been trying and ill be damned if I can get it right

The city lens I have TECHNICALLY was a Chinese version (apparently in china an early beta was released to ALL wp7 devices) and the app was translated and posted somewhere around here on XDA, and can be sideloaded if you've dev unlocked (I dev unlocked using mfg). It DOES require calibration most of the time when you first open it, and since the quantum had a funny way of handling the compass driver (even LG's own apps work funny with compass) it works weird, but other then that its fine. Depending on the phone you have it should work well enough. I will not post the xap here only due to the fact that its already somewhere else on xda and don't want to post it without accrediting the work the user did to translate. (I for the life of me cant find where it was originally posted on here).
