Hi,
Ace site
Used lumpistefan's excellent Kitchen ROM creator but on startup I get an Error box "This program only works with Windows Mobile 2003 (4.20.1081)"
I have used the latest Eng ROM I could find in the Kitchen - put the details in my profile.
I wonder if it is the wm03hotfix (6.50K) in the startup folder? When I run this I get the same error. Should I remove it?
I am a bit new to this amazing device, so bear with me
I can still use the device fine, just this error on warm start.
Thanks again.
most people create a nbf or nb0 file in the Kitchens and do this
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

Thanks, I am puzzled how your reply helps me with this error, but I am new to all this!
I have successfully flashed the device without the SD card and the phone and PDA all work with the new ROM. The ROM is very nice!
I just went ahead and deleted that hotfix file from Startup and now the error is gone.
What is the hotfix for?
Another thing I noticed is that the close button next to the time at the top right doesn't always display when it should, but it still works if you press there even when it isn't displayed. Also some of the today profiles in the ROM seem to have white backgrounds which stop the contents of the start menu being read. Spiral and T-mobile profiles are OK though
I'm not moaning, the ROM is fantastic though!
Yes, this error is due to the hotfix03 staff ... just delete it and use clear_notify.exe instead ... it will fix this famous WM2003 bug
I intalled some new rom tonight. When I tryed to change the rom again using a kitchen with a EXE file I get error messages. The first error comes from the black DOS looking window that says
ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. error getting devicedata
After that prgramme a v1.09 comes up say to hit next. Once I go through the couple if next buttons I get a second error.
ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR
Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial Cableis properly connected.
The cable is connected and activesync works normally. Please help.
Thanks
Garth
rom 4.01.16
rom date 2-4-04
radio version 6.12
protocal 324e4
T-mobile ROMs are known to prevent USB flashing ... you will have to use the SD card method with .nbf files
Could you link me to the directions on how to do it that way. I'm really new at this. Is the SD the sim card?
Thanks
Garth
It seems you are familiar with the kitchen and that's fine ... cook your new ROM as usual but select the ROM to be .nbf file.
Using the XDAtools you can copy this file to the SD card (Secur Disk card for expantion not the SIM and it should be 64 MB or higher) ... then goto the boot loader (soft reset while pressing power) ... it will ask you to perss action ... when flashing is done, press hard reset ... wait 60 sec then press hard rest again ... enjoy
Doing this you must have a sd card
First thing you have to do is Back up your pocket pc.
1. go to the kitchen
2. select items for your rom
3. cook rom in nbf format ( secont method )
4. download xdatools from xda-developers.com
5. backup your sdcard in on your pc b/c this will format your card.
6. unzip the rom you cooked
7. now using the next step will erase your pocket pc
8. press the power button and reset you phone with your stylus
9. now you will see a different scree in the bottom it will say bootloader version xx
10. you must have below 5.15 if not start the program in "fix broken bootloader" in xdatools menu on your pc.(you mmust have your pocket pc connected to activesync.
11. now put your sd card in your pda and run xdatools browse to the file you downloaded and unzipped.
12. now press copy.
13. you will see a progress bar.
14. when this completes again press the power button and reset using your stylus.
15. now press the action button.
16 . the screen will now say FLASHING .
17. when this completes you will see your new rom.
I have done the same thing 2 days back.
FLASHING IS DANGEROUS NO GUARANTEE.
Do I need to install the xdatool to the pocket pc? And then run it from the pocket pc or from my notebook? Do i put the nbf and unzip it in the SD card or on my notbook.
Thanks
Also under xdatool it has source and destination. Do I get the rom from souce sd card and then put it into programme a?
Thanks
you will run xdatools from your notebook with.
unzip in your hard drive.
chose source where you unzipped your nbf file.dont use deop down menu use the browse button (...)
chose destination from drop down menu as " XDA SD CARD SLOT"
Easy for XDA I, but XDA II how to update from SD.
xda2 flash guide
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
I'm with a similar problem... but i can't use active sync because the pc craches
Can i just copy the nbf fileto a sd card through a sd card writer? And do the all other stuff in the same way?
not you cant copy the nbf file to the sdcard it will not work you HAVE to use xdatools to get it there
Hi, I m 1 of the fools, who tried to make a upgrade for my t-online MDA from WIndows 2002 to 2003 - but until now using O2.
After the update the mda does not start anymore. It shows only the startup screen with this data: G32S54, R3.23.11, 4.01.19 - but only with the o2-SIM. Otherwise nothing.
Hope, I could get a little help..
Thanks a lot..

You need to download the rom you require from the kitchen in nbf format, you then need xdatools, using xdatools you then program an sd memory card of 64 meg or greater with the nbf file, place the memory card in xda, push reset with stylus while holding powr button. Push action buton when prompted. Make sure your xda is charged. You should end up with a working system.
One question, did you carry out a hard reset after flashing the rom? This is done by unscrewing the stylus and using the top half to push in the tiny hole on bottom left of your xda, push once, wait one minute, push once more.
Downgrade..
I´m very sorry (or silly..), but what or where is a kitchen?
I made a hardware reset. The only thing, that i could get, is the wallaby bootloader 5.22 with the announcement GSM OK.
a kitchen is where you make your own rom
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org
Downgrade
Hi, fine - but could you hold my hand one more time...
I now have an MultiMediaCard with a file NK.nb1. I start the boot lader, it reports "GSM ok" - thats all. Must I initiate the MMC or do something else?
did you follow this guide ?
because you cant just copy the nbf file to the sd card

downgrade
Thanks. It works great. Good stuff you made.
The problem was, that the osImage Tool did not find the SDCard correctly, only after a programm restart. Now its working fine.
I will try to upgrade again, proofing wether 02 can work on an updated T-Mobile MDA I.
Thanx a lot.
MDA I UPgrade 2003 mit O2
Also: als Resümee:
Upgrade möglich, O2-Verbindung problemlos.
For interest:
Its no problem to Upgrade MDA I from T-Mobile to Windows CE 2003 - also if you want to use O2.

Dumped=ROMs dumped for SD memory cards upgrades(forget about them for the moment)
Modified=Modified ROMs using kitchens(forget about them also)
Extended=ms_.nbf=not ROM image,but extended ROM where softwares are preinstalled,and start automatic installation after a hard reset...(also forget about them)
Big storage=enlarge ur storage space by freeing the extended ROM memory..(not now,so also forget about them)
Radio=radio_.nbf=not ROM image but ur phone part upgrade(ur device is a phone and a PDA,these ROMs take care of the phone part)
Unlock=not ROMs but tools to unlock ur device if it's locked from communication networks like t-mobile,etc....
so,as a conclusion,use shipped ROM folder... :wink:
RAGO :lol:
Very detailed explaination!
Thank you very much.
I will try to upgrade my device in this week end, good luck to me
Just curious about how other customer the extended rom etc.....

Hi...
In the Magician,extended ROM customization is not as easy as other devices.
For himalaya devices,u can use ER2003edit to open ms_.nbf files,edit them by replacing the cabs,or u can unlock and unhide ur extended ROM using extrom unlocker,then u wille able to see extended ROM as a removable drive,and u can edit cabs within...(note that cabs are *.cab files,or cabinet files,those files are executable on ur PPC,almost every program or software is a cab file,even if it doesn't look like,cab file must be contained in,exept executable applications on PPC like .exe that runs directly by clicking on)
In BlueAngel,ER2003edit don't open it's ms_.nbf,but still u have an extrom unlocker for BAs....so u can also edit ext ROMs...
Now in Magician,and due to the difference in hardware architecture(Magician have one rom slot of 64mb),this device don't have (yet) an ext ROM unlocker,and ER2003edit do not open it's ms_.nbf files....(and the member (Anansky) who did the big storage and we all believe he can make or help in making extrom unlocker,seem to have vanished... :? ...)still,there's advanced methods to customize ur ext ROM,but take into consideration that they r not easy....
1-by dumping the ROM to storage card,then using ntrw and a hex editor to cut a partition of the decoded ROM(the ext ROM),mounting it as virtual drive using total commader plugin,editing it,and reflashing using SD method....ouff...read more about this method from here...
2-by freeing ur ext ROM memory using big storage,then making a folder called 2577 on ur storage card,put in autorun.exe and a .zip file containing ur cabs,so,once u do a hard reset,the cabs will be installed automatically from ur SD card....read about big storage from here and here...learn about 2577 folder from buzz's site... http://www.buzzdev.net/
note that this method does not make u an extended ROM like ms_.nbf,but will do the job as it will install ur favorite cabs directly after hard reset....
Good luck...

Just to share with everyone after few days trying, I have succesfully upgrade my dopod 828, the main problem is facing the Error 150, the Upgrade utility is not designed for this device
The procedure is more or less the same as pervious post in this forum, but just little bit different
1. Right click on the EXE-file and extract to a named folder (using Winzip or something similiar)
2. You should end up with about 6 - 8 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade
3. Download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
4. Once you have this file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.
----- until step is exactly the same
Skip this step-> In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.
5. In ActiveSync, go to option -> Schedule, Set it to Manual, this is to make the PPC USB connection to ActiveSync active but don't do any Sync with your PC and PPC during the upgrade process.
6. Connect the phone to the USB, manually sync once. From now onwards, the step is the same.
-----
7. Now run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
8. The upgrade Wizard will start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the country Id error.
9. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file again and this time it should allow you to run the Wizard.
10. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.
11. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a prompt to reset the device
12. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection.
13. Enjoy your new ROM
I am trying to upgrade my Dopod 828, and I get a error no. 150 said the ROM is not designed for this device... oh.....

One question for you, sometime when i download the rom only one file come with extention of nbh (that I can not open) does not include exe file to run - how to get other files including the exe file to run the rom like ruu.exe
Imran
You can either take them from another rom. All the RUU does it point to the .nbh to install it.
the nbh is the important bit, its all the data.
Or you can do what i do, intall it via MicroSD (Its much quicker)
Just rename the .nbh to POLAIMG.nbh then hold the camera button while you soft reset, it will take you straight to the installation screen for the ROM.
