[Q] Help rom upgrade - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hello everybody!
I recently found this old Qtek 9090 with Windows Mobile 2003, and I'd like to upgrade the OS to Windows Mobile 6 (in Italian) and then use it as a navigator...
I've already searched in this forum, but most of the links and downloads don't run, I suppose because this is an old matter...
I need also information about how to upgrade the rom... and I've read that I need also a "preparation pack" for WM2003 to use before upgrading, but I can't find a working link to the download.
Until now I found and downloaded this... "RC5 23698 Multi-Rom" by d-two... it is a .nbf file... but I actually don't know what to do with this file.
I apologize of having posted a new thread, I've already read a lot of posts in this forum, but the more I read, the more I get confused :S
I hope someone can help me, thanks a lot!

Yes, I'm using win 7 64 bit on my notebook, but if this is a problem I can use my old desktop with win XP sp2 32 bit! I've already downloaded your rom and also the updater!

Yes, better you use XP, if you have wm2003 on the blueangel you must only connect it on the PC, if you have WM5 or higher you mus put the blueangel into bootloader modus!

Any ideas what I could do now?

T Mobile PPC unlock.

I have wallaby ppc with
ROM version : 3.14.40.eng
ROM date : 11/26/02
Radio version : 6.18
Protocol version 324e4
This is locked to T mobile. I want to unlock it. I have usb cable with me. I downloaded xdaunlock.exe & saved it in my PPC with help of active sync. I opened the soft in PPC it says cannot get codes. I think this version of my PPC is too low. WHat am i suppose to do now? Should I upgrade? if i have to upgrade please tell how to upgrade or is there any old soft to unlock this? Please help me.
You should upgrade to the xda-developers special edition ROM
xdaunlock requires the wmodem application, which isn't included in your ROM-Version.
Or you can alos cook your own rom. Best choice for unlocking would be 3.17.03
HTH
Stefan
Thanks a lot Mr.LumpiStefan. I dont have linux in my computer. I just have Windows XP & windows98se. Can I install special rom in windows XP? Or is it easy to cook my own ram? How to go about that. If u give me little detailed help I will be very thankfull to U.

You do not need any Linux on your machine.
The special Rom comes in exe format and if you cook your own, you can choose between exe-Format for easy-Flashing or nb1/nbf-Format for secure flashing.
You find Special Edition ROM here:
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/special_rom_1.2.exe.zip
and a Rom kitchen here:
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org
Stefan
Thanks a lot again. I have stared downloding the special edition rpm now. Is it ok if I run it in the Windows98 meachine? Should I transfer the full 15mb soft into the PPC? I think i am asking u a stupid question but i am not too familiar with these PPC. Does this works only in WIN XP or WIN 98 is ok?
I think win 98 should be ok.
It just requires a working active sync connection (I never tried this under win 98)
You don't have to transfer the file to your PPC.
Unzip the file, so that you get the real exe-file, run it on your PC and follow he instructions....
Stefan
I will try it out in an hour & post the results.
Thanks a lot. I unlocked my ppc without any problem. Thank U very much.

ROM Upgrading under Windows Vista - is it possible?

Hi there!
Want to repeat my post here:
Did anybody have successfull tries to update ROM from Vista? I can't do it with AKU3.2 beta8 by standart way, can't do it with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (got 'ERROR 150 ROM UPGRADE UTILITY ERROR'), can't do it with mtty (can't choose USB, only COM). Is it avaliable another way to do ROM upgrade?
No

Thanks for irrefragable answer
If you have RC1 there is a problem with the Windows Mobile Device Centre (so im told!) and so no sync at all apart from folder and files. If you have the first Beta release it works on sync - duno about upgrade yet though.
I'm awaiting the fix....
:roll:
you can enable the WMDC in RC1...there is a thread on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61046&highlight=
that shows you how to enable it....mines working and sycing with Outlook 2007
ive not tried any sort of ROM action though...not willing to brick my wizard...
Damn - mine wont sync for love nor money!
I've done a hard reset - even reflashed the thing. Added the registry entry - forced WMDC.msi to install and still nothing - MWDC just crashed with a hideous error whenever i run it manually from control panel too!
AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!
which version of vista are you on?
I am on RC1.... build 5600
strange, thats exactly the same as me.
all i did was ad the WHOS key, reboot, download, reboot....sync!
When i run WMDC i get:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DeviceManager.IForeman.StartFactory(Guid factory)
at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DeviceCenter.Program.Main()
Im not a happy bunny!

Does Easysync Pro work with WM6?

Yes it works without any issues. I am using Easysync since 1.5 weeks on wm6.

Please - What version are you using?
What version of EasySynch Pro works with Windows Mobile 6?
I'm also interested in using EasySynch Pro to synch my WM6 Device? Bunique, what version of EasySynch Pro are you using?
mine is 4.2.5
Easysync pro works with wm6 since V4.2.2. U have to install to main memory.

I have v 4.2.4 and was unable to install it to my WM6 device. Are you sure about this? The system requirements for 4.2.4 list the following as supported:
Microsoft Pocket PC 2000 / 2002 / 2003 / Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC devices (ActiveSync)
alanchia67: Where did you get 4.2.5? I don't see it listed on IBM's site.
Thanks,

1.-I'm quite sure on this.
2.-I got-it under IBM internal site (i'm an IBMer)
3. 4.2.4 should work. just install-it into the main memory and u have do do something (i don't remember what) to allow restricted operation on the PDA, this is a reg-hack or something, search xda and u will find!
ps. 4.2.5 is a fixpack

Thanks for your reply. I found an IBM article outlining 4.2.5 and support for WM6.
Perhaps it was a problem with allowing unsigned apps? I seem to recall a registry hack/cab available to fix that. enable_rapi?
It's a bit of a moot point now since I reverted back to a WM5 rom last night. Maybe I'll try reflashing a WM6 rom and see if i can get it going though a hack...unless of course you'd be willing to send me a copy of 4.2.5, for evaluation purposes.
Thanks!
-Brett.
sorry , can't do that.
Anyway, yes, , its is the unsigned apps problem.

First off, thanks for the reply. I hope this isn't in the wrong forum... I found this thread through a search and I was hoping it applied to me. I've got a Wizard (Cingular-branded 8125), but I am using WM6 & Easysync Pro.
I still can't get EasySync 4.2.4 to install. I get a series of errors when it's trying to install the cab:
First, "this program uses a file that is no longer supported please obtain an updated version of the program"
Then "unable to launch \windows\xcpcsyncsvr.exe: error 1411"
Finally, it says that it's installed, but it isn't. And Easysync on the PC reports that it can't connect.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Brett.

Vista on jasjar?

Hey.
I was wondering. I saw a vid on youtube, with vista, turned out to be remote desktop, but anyways, today i saw HTC Shift, which has lower specs, so, is it possible to install vista on JasJar (universal)?
Dont care if i cant call with it, i have an S710 i can use as phone.
Hope people can answer, beacuse i really need the info. Thx..
No No No ......
If you are interested you can use Windows 95 or 98 on your pocketpc thnx to Mamaich. Using Bochs emulator.
You can even try to run other versions like Windows 2000,who knows..if its in FAT32
Good luck ! and post here your results!
vista seems quite impossible.
proble a remote connection to a standalone vista pc ??
@unapproachable2kx; could you explain the boch way? i expect you need a linux system running on your universal to use boch? or is there a .cap file thing? i searched sf.org but didn't find a true awnser
Just read the oldest thread and you'll find the way
http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3660
The only way to run Vista is to run it in side an emulator. You can try and might be able to boot vista in, lets say, a week? And the start menu might open after a minute of clicking it.
So in summary, it is doable and might provide good material for a youtube video but from a usability standpoint, it is senseless.

Qtek 9000 dead

I was trying to upgrade my Qtek 9000 but something goes wrong and now I can't start my Qtek, it shows just USB on up of the screen when I connect it to USB and down shows it v2.01 , when I unplugg it, it shows up Serial and down v2.01
Can you write me - what application I shall use to get my Qtek working?
I think I need complet flash ROM and erease all in my phone and then copy all again. Please copy me hyperlinks where I can download the applications
Thanks
Someone will come here to tell you: "read the wiki here!"
Well, you surely have to do it, then you'll discover that you have to download a program called "mtty" ver 1.42 (if I'm not wrong) and follow the instructions under "stuck on bootloader screen" under the wiki.
You have to format your device and install a new ROM. May I suggest you Tomal's 8.2? 'Till now I can say that it's wonderful!
Good luck resuscitating your Uni!
Welcome to the forum
I would recommend Tomal v8.5, the best I ever used!
And don´t forget to vote please!
