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,
Hi,
I tried to upgrade my XDA using Ranju's latest ROM, and after going through the flash process ok, my XDA Exec is saying the following on a white screen "Press 0 to restore factory default - Press X to exit"
If i press "0", then the XDA says "clearing now" and switches off and nothing happens, and the XDA switches off altogether if i press "X". If i try the on /off key, nothing happens!!
During the whole process windows is showing "Unknown USB device".
I've removed both the SIM card and SD card and carried out the above.
Can someone please help me out.
Regards
SA
Finally managed to sort. Used the following instructions:
How to update your rom to the latest I-mate version (with push email) and Radio 1.09.0 using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method
1 – download the file “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” from the ftp site (see bottom of post for details)
2 - double click the file and allow it to unpack into a folder
3 – right click on the active sync icon in your tasks tray on you pc (at the stage you should NOT have you universal plugged in)
4 – select connection setting then untick “allow USB connections”
5 – Now take your Universal and take out the SIM and MEMORY CARD
6 – Press light + power + reset with the phone on, this will place the universal into bootloader mode
7 – Connect your Universal via the USB cable to your computer directly i.e. not though a USB hub
8 – Now double click on the program called “MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe” (found in to folder from step 1) this will start the upgrade process, the first stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete, you will then be presented with a screen showing a “Imate Jam” and some information about what you are upgrading to, don’t be worried if this screen does not show you the version numbers you have at present that is normal.
9 – Now continue with the process by clicking upgrade/next
10 – After sometime (about 20 minutes) you should be at the end screen tell you to unplug and reset you “jam” So now unplug your universal and reset it and that’s all there is to it!
Note that during the upgrade process you can follow the progress by also looking at your universal screen with a light source as the backlight will be off.
Many thanks for taking time to read.

I wasn't expecting to do this, but I had a 2 hour delay at my college due to snowy weather, so I decided to take the time to upload my 1st official WM6.5 rom for the Asus A6x6 early. Keep in mind that this rom is far from perfect and the fancy new WM6.5 today screen is not working (looks like the today screen from WM6/6.1).
Thanks to Makuu (for helping to get me started), Lenny, AstainHellbring (thank you for all the nightly help sessions), the creators of the tools I used to make this rom, and anyone else that I failed to mention in name who gave me the knowledge to complete this rom.
Asus Mypal A6x6 WM6.5 version 1a
Windows CE version 5.2.21234 (Build 21234.5.0.1)
This was tested on an Asus Mypal A626 (and works). It should work with the A686/A696, but the other models were not tested. Any other models not metioned above WILL NOT WORK.
Updates
1. os build
2. bug fixes
Additions
1. Windows Marketplace
2. File Dialogue Changer
3. PsShutXP
Removals (you can reinstall these via windows marketplace)
1. Windows Live
2. MS Office Mobile (get the beta from marketplace)
Removals (non-Windows Marketplace)
1. Remote Desktop Mobile
download: http://www.easy-share.com/1909744620/Asus_A6x6_WM65_1a.rar
At this time, this will be the only download link. Mirrors will be created in the future (after I give permission).
Instructions (I have included a txt file with same instructions for offline convenience)
Before you do anything, make sure you have at least a 256mb SD card and a card reader (you can get one at a place like Radio Shack or Office Depot). You also need to install winrar (found at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html). Your SD card must be formatted with the FAT16 file system.
To format your SD Card with the FAT16 file system
Step 1: To do this insert the SD Card into the reader and go to "My Computer".
Step 1a: BACKUP YOUR FILES before you start!!
Step 2: Right-click the drive letter of the SD Card reader (differs for each computer, probably either E:\ or F:\ or G:\) and click "Format".
Step 2a: Don't worry about any of the options except for file system, choose "FAT"
Step 3: Click "Start" and wait until it is done
Step 1: Get (OS) rom image
Step 2: Extract files to any folder on hard drive using Winrar
Step 3: Go to the folder where you extracted the files in the RAR archive
Step 4: Make sure that the filename is "CANNES_A_WM6.img"
Step 4a: if the img file it's not exactly "CANNES_A_WM6.img", rename it to that
Step 5: Format the SD card if you haven't already done so using the instructions above
Step 6: Copy the img file to the SD card, see step 6a
Step 6a: Make sure that the img file is the ONLY file on the SD card after formatting
Step 7: Take SD Card out of SD Card reader and put it in the a6x6
Step 8: Make sure that the a6x6 is plugged in via ac adapter before doing the next few steps
Step 9: activate SD Loader using the following instructions {
Step 9a: Hold down the power button and enter button (that's the button in the center of the d-pad)
Step 9b: Double tap the soft reset button while holding the other 2 buttons
Step 9c: After double tapping the soft reset button, keep the other 2 buttons held until a blue screen comes up that says something like Asus Cannes flashing utility
Step 9d: Wait until the process is finished (it's near the end when it says "writing private")
}
Step 10: At this point, your a6x6 should reboot on its own
Step 11: enjoy your updated rom
If you have any questions, feel free to just post or PM me.
As I release new roms, if you have a support question, please give me the rom version so I know what rom you are working with. You can get the rom version from the filename of the rom pack.
Example: Asus_A626_WM614_1
A626 = device (most often it will be A626, will rarely be different), WM614 = os version, 1 = release #
Update: Ok, I put out a bug fix rom with a fix for the today screen. I am still trying to find a fix for the sound and notifications control panel applet. The old rom (version 1) is deprecated and is not available for download any more. Use version 1a instead.
ASUS A696 User
Hi, Thanks for the release and good work. Since this is only the beginning (I hope), I begin to inform the performance firmware on my PDA (ASUS A696).
1 - Bluetooth - does not work (does not receive or send files)
- In the settings instead of the icon is a black square.
2 - Today - of all the elements shown only date and time, and only in the old form (as in the previous OS). I wish that Today was like other communicators.
3 - Start - which happened to all the sounds from the "Sounds and Notifications"?
4 - Software & others - as the 696 series have more memory, you can not throw out the program and plug-ins.
Waiting for a new version
Sorry for my English? i'm from Ukraine).

A few comments on your post:
1. I will check on the bluetooth situation. When I tested bluetooth, I didn't quite test file exchange enough.
2. I am working on a remedy/fix for the today screeen. However, I have no idea how long it will take for me to get it working.
3. This is just a matter of updating a few files. I used an older (and verifiably working) package to give non-phone support.
4. I am aware that the A696 and the later version of the A626 carry more flash rom space than the older version of the A626 and the A686. However, no matter what device I make roms for, there is a finite amount of space to fit everything into. As operating systems and programs progress, they get bigger and bigger. If everything keeps growing in file size, there is less space to fit more items, so I must remove some files/programs to keep within that finite limit of storage space. Where do all the files that I put into the rom go? Well, if you take a look at your storage memory, you will see that the total storage memory available is less than the standard 256 rom size.
I've downloaded and successfully flashed. Working good so far. I'm just installing some programs that I normally use and haven't run into an issue yet. It will be nice to have a working home screen but for now it isn't that big of a deal. I don't use bluetooth often so I can't comment on that yet. Wifi working, my music plays with S2P, I used windows market place to install netflix and office.
Keep up the good work!
Good job, but there are many failures to complete.
1) Today
2) Pictograms from former versions
3) "Sounds and Notifications"
4) Black pictogram Bluetooth in menu
5) When I close program - PDA show me Today(but must show menu)
6) Where is Oficce?
7) The pictograms not move in Start menu(only "Move to top")
Can you change your previous OS(WM6.1 rom version 2) context menu, pop-up menu and other for new from this OS?
P.S.: Sorry if you don't understand me I used translator...
Do you have french rom...?
Thank you.
just tested this build together with your WM6.1 release.
first impression - looks nice
even though seems slower on A696 - but this could be just because it's not tailored fully.
1) didn't test bluetooth much but seems to work fine with sending/recieving. I'd even say it's faster than on WM6.1 v2 release;
2) "Sounds and Notifications" problem with Events from previous v2 WM6.1 build;
3) under "System - Bluetooth" sometimes on BT icon there's black square - didn't notice when it happens though;
4) closing program throws you into Today screen insted of previous step;
5) same problem with Task Manager as I've said in previous thread for WM6.1
good luck
Hello, Steven!
I'm very thankfull to you for WM 6.5.
I have trouble, while installing, to say correctly, on the beginning of installing on my a626. I did everything as in instructions, even for few times. When i press power and enter button, make double tip on the soft reset, I see blue screen, where said sth about Cannes and its version.
it write my FAT type(FAT16), i see very little blink of "Reading file", if not take off fingers from power and enter button, it resets to blue screen again, if take fingers off the buttons, PDA loads...I just don't know what to do.. please, help me!
ps: sorry for my english.
I think I've found an issue. This morning when I turned on the device I had a missed appointment, the notification dialog at the bottom of the screen showed up but it was blank and had the wrong time on it. Not sure if this is a 6.5 issue or an Outlook 2010 issue.

Oh dear..I will be sure to check on that. As far as Outlook, do you mean Outlook on desktop Windows or Pocket Outlook on Windows Mobile? The only thing is that office (outlook) 2010 is still in beta and hasn't been released officially to the general public yet, so I can't find any definite fixes. I still believe you, but the fact remains that Outlook 2010 is still in beta and the code for the finished product could always change.
Steven, why have you ignored my message?

I had the same issue. With a slightly modified .img ("replace:0xC 09 04 => 36 D6" by _barmaley; because I'm a new user I couldn't link the original post...) the update completed successfully.
PS: Steven thank you for the ROM!

I am using Pocket Outlook, the new 2010 beta. But it doesn't seem to be related to that, if I make a Notification Dialog popup from something like turning off the A626 it gives me a blank white box. Now I've soft reset the device and it seems to have gone away. I'll keep trying to figure out how to recreate it.
First of all, thank you Steven855 for your job

Try to change values in System Registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\Windows Live\Enabled (from 1 to 0)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\Windows Live Search\Enabled (from 1 to 0)
make a soft reset, check(ON) your plugin in today's settings, make a soft reset
now i have a problem with a today's size (you can see a scrollbar at the right side of the today's area) but its a better as nothing

i've tested it on my ASUS mypal a696 (but due to the fact that wm6.5 is not stable, I was forced to return to the WM6)
Is this all? Is there a step you're not telling me (I can't seem to replicate it)? What registry editor did you use? Did you use the (soft) reset button or did you use a program to soft reset the device?

I edited the registry, because I was not able to check (ON/OFF) plugins in today's settings

what program can record video from screen PDA, I could write all steps
ASUS 696 owners please check and confirm the efficiency of the method.
what's the soft reset button on the asus a626? Not quite sure, the device reboots into OS D:
EDIT:NVM I got it, for ASUS A626 DEVICES, POWER OFF YOUR PHONE BUT DO NOT PRESS THE REBOOT KEYS. ONLY PRESS THE MIDDLE D-PAD BUTTON AND YOUR POWER BUTTON
I can say that my Diamond jailbreak the PS3 at first boot "everytime".
I use HERMES V4 and OPEN MANAGER 2.1
The solution that I found is simple (with XDAndroid 2.2 RC 2.1 + System RC 2.2).
The first time:
-check to have replace zImage
-check to have put modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty.tar.gz in the directory of xdandroid (delete the old modules)
-put psfreedom.ko in the root of memory
-download payload from attachment
-put payload_hermesV4.bin in the root of memory
-overclock the phone (in startup.txt add inside "set cmdline": acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=680000) or download my STARTUP.TXT from attachment (only DIAM100)
-edit "froyo.user.conf" in the conf directory and replace the section "# custom shell commands, these commands run last" with this:
# custom shell commands, these commands run last
custom_shells{
rm -f /sdcard/fsck*.rec
echo ""
echo ""
echo "*************************************"
echo "*************************************"
echo "******D i s c o n n e c t ****** U S B ******"
echo "*************************************"
echo "*************************************"
echo ""
echo ""
sleep 3
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
sleep 2
echo "**********************************"
echo "**********************************"
echo "********P a y l o a d ****************"
echo "**********************************"
echo "**********************************"
cat /sdcard/payload_hermesV4.bin > /proc/psfreedom/payload
}
or download my conf file from attachment and put the file in the conf directory (only DIAM100)
-launch haret with USB connected to PC
-disconnect cable when the message "Disconnect USB from PC" is display
-put the phone to airplane mode
-install Advanced Task Killer Free (ATK)
-launch ATK
-change setting and set security to LOW (kill more application)
-kill all application (after I have 50Mb free)
-connect to PS3
jailbreak in normal way
The next time you just:
-launch haret with USB connected to PC
-disconnect cable when the message "Disconnect USB from PC" is display
-launch ATK and kill all application
-connect PS3
jailbreak in normal way
I hope this can help everyone who jailbreak with Diamond
UPDATE(only for DIAM100):
The STARTUP.TXT attached contains my path.
Change the name of the directory: "rel_path=your directory"
EXAMPLE: "rel_path=andboot"
HELP1:
If you don't have 50 Mb of free memory from ATK try:
-remove all widget from all the android desktop
-set as background of the desktop a simple color (not an image)
-disable the animation of the video (in the configuration of android you can find video option)
-etc... (all other simple procedure to free more memory)
HELP2:
If you don't find where to set security level LOW:
-open ATK
-press HOME button
-press Setting
-press Security Level
-select Low
-press BACK button (turn back)
-press BACK button (turn back)
-KILL selected apps
I have more than 50Mb free after this operation.

Download this file and decompress it on your root.This file contains already ALL that you need.(include HermesV4)
It is ready for Diam100.
Change the startup.txt file if you have other phone.
NB: If you change the startup.txt file remember to edit it to set rel_path=xdandroid
Last payload:
For the last payload visit the HTC HERO psfreedom wiki page
Download the payload that you want and then change the conf file to load it (replace payload_hermesV4.bin with the name of the new payload)
Good day.
Works great!
Great solution, i tried a similar procedure (by me) but yours is great!
Now I've only the same problem as described in other post.
When i try to load backup of my game (original) from an external disk (2,5"), it returns always on xmb and not load nothing.
Any idea?
worked first time for me too, i've got psfreedom auto loading in the init file, so all you have todo is kill apps and jail break.
[one thing left to try is set ATK to autoload and set it to aggressive autokill and hopefully all you'll need todo is boot into andriod and jailbreak.] - scratch this bit as auto kill smallest interval is 30 mins
edit: tried a second time and the jailbreak didn't work first time... actually tried several times and then eventually rebooted phone and tried again, worked on second attempt (got unknown usb device on first try)
Ok, now works perfect.
It was an hard disk problem (external 2.5" samsung model 0804h hd 80gb), it is not fully supported.
Now i use another hard disk and it works

control the memory free (on ATK)
I have 50Mb and I jailbreak everytime at first boot
I did also:
-in settings/display disable all effect
-in desktop load like background a single color (and not a picture)
-remove ALL the gadget from all the desktop
...
it works great
ATTENTION: Autoload psfreedom.ko
I think that initrd.gz is not the right place where insert the insmod command.
Try to edit "froyo.user.conf" in the conf directory and insert in the section # custom shell commands, these commands run last
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
obviously before the } that end the list of commands...
You must have something like
# custom shell commands, these commands run last
custom_shells{
rm -f /sdcard/fsck*.rec
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
}
This for two reasons:
1.is more simple to modify (is a plain text file in XDAndroid directories, so you don't need Linux)
2.you load the module "after" the other modules that psfreedom.ko need
Now I am at work, I will try this solution this afternoon... but if someone can test... is simple to modify the conf file.
EDIT:
Ok, it works
You can edit the conf file and then when xdandroid boot you have only to launch ATK and kill all application
@bastard: You're spreading FUD. PSF module does not depend on any module which is loaded in conjunction with XDandroid. Why are you claiming this?
And you consider booting a full blown OS (which IS Linux by the way), installing apps and configuring a lot of other stuff more simple than booting another Linux (or just using your main OS if it's Linux compatible) and modify initrd once?
Anyway, have a good day!

PSfreedom depend on the modules that you load on boot.
In particolary g_android.ko that enable debugging via USB
This is why on the psfreedom procedure you find to "copy" the modules in xdandroid directory
Now, i don't know if you have to load before or after...
But the psfreedom procedure say to load psfreedom.ko in terminal so I think this is the right order:
1.modules
2.psfreedom.ko
in this way it work... in the other... i don't know

I didn't say this...
I think (and wrote) that is "more simple" to modify a text file (the conf file) directly on phone rather than copy initrd.gz, boot to Linux, expand initrd.gz, edit init file, recompile to initrd.gz and then put it again on phone ONLY to autoload psfreedom on startup... (and allways do the rest of stuff)
Then I think (and wrote) that to have the order 1.modules 2.psfreedom.ko
modify the conf is better than modify initrd.gz
I don't understand why you have to enter into a debate...
if you don't like my procedure... use another.
Anyway, have a good day!
2 issues.
-overclock the phone (in startup.txt put the line acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=700000)
I can't put 700000, the phone crash when I start Android, I can put 680000, but no more.
-change setting and set security to LOW (kill more application)
I don't understand this, how can I change this setting?
I've tried the trick and it works like before for me, not better...

-overclock the phone (in startup.txt put the line acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=700000)
I can't put 700000, the phone crash when I start Android, I can put 680000, but no more.

I use 700000 and works fine for me, but I think it's normal... on the xdandroid you can find:
Overclocking
acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX ( i personally use 600000-640000 )
but it very unstable if you try to get higher than 650000-700000
Use the value that works for you.

-KILL selected apps
I have more than 50Mb free
With this I jailbreak every time at first time.
Have you change the phone to airplane mode? It use less cpu...
Yeah.
I have done the security think and now yes, it always works, at the moment, I've tried twice, but works both.
Thanks for the trick, you are my hero!!
By the way, I am spanish, it's possible that I wrote some word or sentence incorrectly, but I try do it well ^^
could someone upload these modified files? i can't find in my phone,thanks
I did everything you said but still it doesnt run every time on first boot it takes like 5 to 10 times to boot
any new version psfreedom for openmanager v1.13？
That would be awesome
agreed, I really want no bluray disc needed.
Also with the hermes payload, they will eventually create some custom firmware, no more psfreedom!
Thank you for opening this thread! But...
I did everything u recommended but still receiving the "unknown USB device connected". So, the same problem persists: It only works after the first boot!
Any other suggestions so we can solve the diamond problem once for all?
PS: PS3 jailbreak USBs are not available in my country so i have to count on the diamond jailbreak
UPDATE 1: After switching to Windows mobile--->Reconnect to PC in active sync mode--->Disconnect when the message appears--->Connect to PS3 and apply Jailbreak! It REALLY WORKS!
Do Note that using HTC Diamond is tricky when it comes to Jailbreaking the PS3 since it's not 100% compatible So take real care of the time between the power and eject buttons: YOU SHOULD WAIT LIKE 1/2 A SECOND TO PRESS THE EJECT AFTER THE POWER & IT WILL WORK WITH A RATE OF 1 OVER 2
UPDATE 2 : After Rebooting the phone from Win Mobile to Android (While connected to PC) if the JB doesn't work with the error "Unknown USB device connected", Just shut down the phone, reboot in win mobile reconnect to PC and boot back to Android then try again it should work!
Hope this helps!
Recheck procedure

I reply to you, but it's ok for everyone who have some troubles:
-you don't need to reboot to windows mobile
-you don't need to reboot the phone
If you have "unknown USB device connected" simply retry the jailbreak (leave the phone connect to PS3).
NOW
For my procedure...
It works ALLWAYS at first boot (not AFTER first boot)
If you have some problem check all the step, particolary:
-overclock (700000 or 680000 works fine, try which one works for you)
-phone in airplane mode
-security level LOW in ATK
-memory after kill all the application MUST be more than 50Mb
If you don't have this value of free memory try:
-remove all widget from all the android desktop
-set as background of the desktop a simple color (not an image)
-disable the animation of the video (in the configuration of android you can find video option)
-etc... (all other simple procedure to free more memory)
I wrote this guide becouse I NEVER try two time to jailbreak my PS3 after this trick... NEVER
So, eventually you can try different timing from press Power button and Eject button, but the REAL problem is the free memory and the speed of Diamond.
So I suggest:
- re-check the speed of overclock (try 680000 maybe is more stable)
- re-check alll the step of my guide
- re-check this list of trick to free more memory
I hope to help everyone with DIAMOND (DIAM100)

It is WORKING with a 99% rate!
1. The Overclocking to 7,000 is working at its best.
2. I am not using ATK.
3. Phone in airplane mode is a must, i agree.
4. Disabling the animation is a must also.
5. I need to boot in WinMobile so i can use my phone normally...
6. I really noticed that one of the most important points is: the lapse of time between the Power & Eject buttons. It has to be larger than other devices at 1/2 sec. aprox. (as compared to HTC HD2 or others...)
Regards

if you don't use ATK, you don't use my procedure!
Try to use ATK and it will work with 100% rate!
I repeat that timing between power and eject is less important...
Try ATK and then you never try two time!!!
(ATK free that you can download free on the internet. You can put the apk directly on xdandroid directory and it autoinstall )

Works great!
Great solution, i tried a similar procedure (by me) but yours is great!
Now I've only the same problem as described in other post.
When i try to load backup of my game (original) from an external disk (2,5"), it returns always on xmb and not load nothing.
Any idea?

Try deleting Backup Manager and reinstalling. I had the same problem and that worked for me. Good luck.
Hi guys,
I've finally managed to get Windows 10 back to my Lumia 530.. from "bare metal" (really, it looked death at some try-and-fail steps
It will be done in two steps.
First, we need to push it to the 10586.107
The second update we will deploy the "final" version of v1511 - 10586.1176 (the fixed issues betwenn 107 and 1176 are a list of 8pages paper )
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Windows Device Recovery Tool (can ressurect dead phones, when nothing else can connect to it.... )
- The included thor2.exe cmdline tool (find it in the install path of the Recovery Tool).
- The Stock Windows 8.1 (can be downloaded by the tool or by yourself at lumiafirmware com
- IUTOOL.exe (included in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) or from here, the big Windows 10 Mobile Offline Thread) as well as the perfect prepared first packages:
- the "win10_mobile_offline_updater_v41.wim" provided on this page. YOU need only the files in THIS SUBFOLDER: "3rd Generation\43X-532"
- If you want to prepare further updates or a different phone, you'll need also (comes with IUTOOL.exe) GetDuLogs.exe (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to run it with your fresh updated device connected to USB), It will rip the update log wich are nice but it also includes a package list, that were updated on your Phone. THIS IS IMPORTANT because these package names are the packages you will need for every device upgrade rollup..
HOW TO:
1st: I believe i took the GUI Recovery tool the first time i succeeded but at my second try it didn't work.. The whole success depends on a few megabytes of free space. So whatever caused this, MY LAST and sucessful try worked after i flashed the Stock FFU with the command line tool thor2.exe using the whole bunch of options:
thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile "your_Phones_Stock_Build_imageFile.ffu" -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset -reboot
After the reboot, and you will only succeed by following: Leave the phone at the first Screen (The Welcome, languange selection), connect to USB, let windows install the driver and once connected (when using Windows 10) Remove the device from Devices And Printers otherwise IUTOOL.exe will put out an error and won't work.
now start the update by launching: iutool -V -p e:\folderName (Where All The CABs Are Inside).. You won't get any message on your phone, but IF it fails, IUTOOL will put out an Error - in all my tries within 5 minutes.. YOU NEED TO WAIT for reboot. The Lumia 530 will take around 30minutes until it reboots itself. It boots in the known maintenance mode, takes some time and will come up with Windows 10.0.586.107. Because we didn't went through the OOBE before, either only the Start Screen will be empty or in addition the App list will not show every app - as expected - Easy Fix: If you have the settings app, go to SYSTEM-INFO and launch a factory reset.. If not take the hardware forced way: Hold Volume down AND the power button until it vibrates, release ONLY the button, hold volume down a bit longer to get the phone recognized what you want. When it shows the "!" launch the factory reset by pushing in this row: Vol Up - Vol Down - Power - Volume down..
the keyboard wont work so if you want your backup to be forced while OOBE, you need to make your Wifi Open without password... There is a fix for this issue on the Main Thread for the Offline Update, but i just removed my (in my case) German Keyboard and the englich keyboard worked fine immediately after removing..
The Swiss keyboard was also good for me - but i didn't care a lot - will be fixed with the final Update...
THE OOBE WAY doesn't work any more, seems like Microsoft wasn't amused by this and closed this nice door i just found as my very last idea with this phone. The genius idea.. i felt so cool after that really worked.... Now the last step: don't forget to call "getdulogs -o e:\outputfile.cab" in the cab are the logs as well as the important package list..
The second update is easier, because there is not much you can do... You can find it with normal Update search but - trust me - in the best case it fails with 50 MB too less space... really hard So the difficult part this time is to identify and get your packages. I've searched my 6 disks and finally i'found my phone updates but unfortunately i must have overwritten my get.cmd for 1176 which was a download batch for the files.. ****.. but it's also hard to identify the correct package at Microsoft, i'm tired but here's the little gift, definetely the correct package, you'll find here (i cannot post links, too new ) catalog-update-microsoft-com and seach for "14003.1176". The 2500 MB folder is yours, look for " Windows Mobile 10 Production Bundle - OS 10.0.14003.1176 update for all mobile phone devices", Click "Download to see all package links and download the ones in the log files package list...
I got 168 files, should be more - even if more are not a problem - we don't have any space for maybe resolution packages for other devices. NO
If you have some scripting or programming knowlegde, there are some hints for it below.. Or Contact me if you need help.
Update is easy:
- Factory Reset AND DON'T CONNECT your phone to the Wifi - at no point
- After OOBE - Uninstall absolutely every thing that is able to, delete temp files - these little two things worked fine for me, key point here is NO CONNECTION TO NOWHERE BEFORE.. again, we are fighting for 50 MB, so if it was connected -> do the factory reset before... but do it also if it never was on, because there are few files from the previous update, that will lock us these 50 MB...
Update itself like before, IUTOOL.exe -V -p u:\cabFolder
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW... If you like ****, this time you can watch the update progress - IUTOOL.exe forces the normal windows update so it will show progress..
reboot to maintenance mode - will all work fine BUT THE FIRST REBOOT - keep cool, and enjoy the blue flashing Disco Screen you will get - you can try to reboot, but it didn't help on all my 2 deployments. what it needs (was a surprise for me, and it helped twice) is a simple factory reset.. like i wrote in the previous update. This time you will have to use the hardware way i mentioned.. Thats all.. One little issue, i couldn't fix yet, but i don't care.. MSN News App, And the Weather App are only links to the store and for whatever reason the store thinks it is already installed, Take Foreca Weather... Everything else works fine.. Keyboard as well with native german on my side
Hopefully i mentioned it detailed enough... worked TWO times for me now.. 14393 update needs too much space, don't even think about it
I'm currently slowly reading into Deploying and developing customized windows mobile images, not that i wan't to run it on my 530 but maybe i'll find somehing...
Greetings, Stephan.. Below some hints for the downloads, if you want to script it...
THE SECOND UPDATE is based on the package list i've ripped. With this and the version number (this is tricky, because the internal Build will not stay at 10586, so you will find the update by searching for "Windows Mobile 1176" or sth near.. look for a Folder size of ~2500 and the update rollup .1176 - i'm not really sure - it was some near 14003.1176 (The Build number MUST BE LOWER than 14393. You'll either some creative knowledge like programming or a lot of patience and motivation to find all your 127 packages and download it manually.. i copied the the whole filename's list and the prefix to have a download link and then i wrote a little C# to compare my needed package List with the whole build list from microsoft.. i added also a "wget -c ". It's even more complicated... 2 different "base" links (i just took both links - only the correct one will work. And finally - the last complication is - there are downloads "tagged" with a "cbs" as well as with "cbsu" in the filename FOR MOST PACKAGES, i've not tried to find what it means - but however i decided to take the CBS because their filesize was realisic, cbsu are way too small, may be these are one fixes from last update, and not the whole rollup - what we need....
..the keyboard wont work so if you want your backup to be forced while OOBE, you need to make your Wifi Open without password...

Forget that... you cannot apply your backup at this time, even with internet connected... The hard point would be to login with Microsoft
can you post screenshots?
I followed that whole guide but I didn't succeed. It was then that I deleted the .cab files from languages that I'm not going to use and I remade the whole process, being transferred 31 files. I crossed my fingers and received the full storage message but the update followed and to my surprise the phone restarted and updated.
Someone to helpme with efiesp.bin partition?
Hello,
im trying to understand ur method but im not that into microsoft stuffs so, what do u mean with:
" now start the update by launching: iutool -V -p e:\folderName (Where All The CABs Are Inside) ? "
I get it done with more than 1Gb of free storage !
so I start with your steps u provided above and I got lost honestly.
-I have lumia 530 Dual SIM (1019) previous build was 8.1 I don't recall OS version but it was the latest, so yeah I searched for more information and I found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10-mobile/guide-win10-mobile-offline-update-t3527340/ of this glorious man @hikari_calyx
-I tired to intall W10 even the method says that not supported for 4gb devices, and it was really a fail because following his steps ended up with fail to update due to low storage, then I tried to delete anything I could, but again it fails for just 140mb or so... an idea pops up in my head which updating after a hard reset so the OEM apps won't get installed, and
here are the steps
1- go to the link provided for @hikari_calyx and follow the steps (make sure to download the .cab files) until it fails to update.
2- perform a hard reset to your phone (power off, press vol - and power button together after the vibrate release ur finger from power button and keep pressing vol - then in order : vol - vol + power button vol - )
and don't pass the language selection screen just keep it there.
3- Now go and update it like you just did before hard reset, it will take a lot of time just plug it to a power source and keep it cold, maybe more than 1 hour.
4-hurry it boot up you might face a problem in "Almost done.." screen, so the solution is : lock the screen and turn it on again, once u slide the lock screen up and before the app reloads keep pressing the "win" button it will open "one handed mode" then bring down the notification center and press anything (maybe win button I don't recall) until it goes to home screen (not 100% sure what I have done it was so random lol)
Congratulations u have W10 with a lot of storage.
