the different guides here should be plenty of help
here is something i copy'd from this site at one poit
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use: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".
BTW the above is based on using XDArit version 1.0 which can be download from the software section at:
http://www.yorch.net and a PCI USB 3-One Travel Flash reader P/N FPT-D bought at Fry's.

The 4.01.00 ENG version is here ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21 ..
but be careful as it contains the upgrade for RSU and I 'm not sure
it supports 900/1800 or not since it's TMO upgrade.
If your device has no Radio problems (GSM),
my advice would be to down load the file, use Winzip or WinRAR to
extract the NK.nbf file which the ROM upgrade, put it on SD card and flash your XDA using the bootloader.
PS: if you are sure that your network is 1800 MHz then do NOT use R6.24 for RSU upgrade.
Good luck

anyway i would get a sdcard and a sdcard reader the price is not all that high for any of them

Hi m8,
Thanks alot for all the information you have given me, I have a 256mb sd card and a card reader in my pc, so i should be ok there....
Which rom would you use or have if you were going to put pc2003 on your xda m8???
Thanks alto
zetex

not sure prob the latest 4.01.00 ENG
and be very sure that it were only the rom and not the
radiostack i were upgrading since i seem to recall that 4.01 is US gsm
but i'm not sure i'm upgrading untill i get more tired of messing with 2002 and what applications i like
then i can complain more about the applications which i really really love and need but dont work with 2003
plus people still report issues with 2003 deleting their sdcard for no reason
so if you give it a go be sure to not have infomation on your sdcard which you dont have back'd up so you can get them back if it mess up

Hi m8,
Thanks once again for your help...

on a later date it will definately be an upgrade as this is still a test version i am using.
not sure about the UK ? as i am new in here myself. look for another thread in this same forum for "looking for testers for a.30.17 att wireless" or something like that read thru and u will see..
as fort me i am using that test versionis much better than the cooked 4.00.5 i was using earlier

alrite mate use vA.30.07 AT&T test rom newest out and its bluddy brill works like a dream cant wait to get the propper update should be cool
its very fast and seems extreamly stable v4.01.00 is stable but is soo slow and seems to make tomtom 2 run slowly as in takes about 3 minutes to start up ect...
get the vA.30.07 rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5492&start=25
worth getting imo

On your xda you have 2 things,
the rom, thats your operation system, now pocketpc 2002, you wanted to update it to windows mobile 2003.
And you have the radio rom, this is the "operation system" for your cell phone part of your xda.
If you update to A.30.07, the windows mobile 2003 beta, you leave your radio rom in tact, so you can continue making calls
Also, watch out for those updates what are programs,
because the also update your radio rom,
better use a .nb1 file with xdatools

Hi,
reading with interest,
Zetec is asking most of my questions for me - but one that I'd like to add:
Does the ppc2003 upgrade allow you to control the phone and the pda volume separately (as per the xda II)?
Thanks

yes, I have one slide bar for the phone and one voor the os (music, alarms, etc)

yup dual volume controls also on v4.01.00 it has a tab called band showing 1900mhz or 900mhz this means you then have to loose 1800mhz (but can be brought back in bootloader) on the vA.30.07 there is no tab like this so in other words no need to go into bootloader so you wont loose your 1800mhz
so vA.30.07 is great for countries using 900/1800

gazzaman2k,
I updated the rom last night everything is working just fine, very nice and it runs very smoothly as well.
I have put Tom Tom 2.24 and that seem to work as well, and the speed is great
Just one question what gps driver is best to use because i'am only getting a couple of bars on the gps status???
Also on the phone side i'am getting on my desktop an AT&T WIRELESS tab??? is that right...
And finally what can i use for closing programs from the desktop, making sure they close by tapping the X in the courner of the screen. Because when i close a program they still remain in the programs running under memory tab...
please let em know
Thanks alot
Zetex

att wireless in today... u seeing it because this rom is from them and they force it in there, no biggie go to the today - items screen in the settings and uncheck it it will be gone,
as for the programs remaining in the memory that is how the OS has been for a while get aversion of POCKETNAV from Scott seligman woreks well to move around the OS and helps u close unwanted proggies
http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/cestuff.html
also the GPS thing isnot a driver issue it is WM2003 feature ( or drawback u may call it) that the signal meter is poor... it is only the display that is poor the signal strength when u see one single dot is about 40% (i tried the trial version of ipdashboard which will tell u in numbers what the strenght is) so just live with it....
hope it answers most of the ?'s

yeah windowsCE have always mixed the alt tab kind og closing with normal closing i asume that it's to make loading faster if you often use the same stuff
it's a good custom to force programs down once in awhile because if you played quake 1 or 2 and then pacman and the deside to listen to mp3 it's going to sound crack smack and pop

Thanks alot for all you help, you have all been very helpful and i now have a xda1 with wm2003 test rom on it....
oh and not forgetting voice comand, very nice app
just one thing i have notice the radio i have installed is 4.20 could i put 4.21 on it and if so how..
Also when i press the volume button on the side and in some apps the box for highlighting a feature or missing but the function works as if its there... is this just because its a test rom???
Thanks once again, i'am now very much enjoying my xda because of people on this board..
Thanks
Zetex

Zetex, glad to hear the upgrade went succesfully!
Did you use the SD card method described earlier in this thread?
Is your UK 02 phone the version with the 32Meg Rom or the 64?
If it is the 64, does anyone know if the beta ROM fits into the 32 Meg version.
Any news as to whether the final version has come out yet?
Thanks

New Kitchen online

Hi with the help of Lumpistefan I was able to put a new kitchen on line
the new address is
http://xda.weblink.net
please feel free to use it .
I hope thsi link will take of the load that Lumpistefan had on his line.
The sites are working in parallel mode (both get updated to each other).
Have a good cooking time :lol:

Life wasn't that nice before :lol:
Millions thanks for both of you.

hello,
thanks for the link, it works indeed.
i only have a question,
if i upgraded with the t-mobile 4.00.21 version, does it also upgrade the radio stack? does it affect my band selection?
i used the exe file.

As much as i know, it's normal, that the device shows as B1 modell....
Which Radiostack are you using?

4.21.00. could be?

Not a good idea to use .exe method to upgrade, use the SD card method instead. You may need to manually change the radio to the local band by going into the bootloader and changing it to whatever it's not on now. One of the upgrades I did stopped the phone component totally and brought everything else to a standstill, but it was ten second fix.
Thanks for the new kitchen, it gives another option where there were few.

thanks, i just changed in the bootloader into GSM 900/1800. now it works, i just hope it doesn't only use the 900 and 1900(which i have no use in Europe). because in my device info it says B1 model. Maybe it's just because of the t-mobile upgrade, but doesn't REALLY change it.
let's hope.
thanks anyway.

No, it's all sweet now. I think the configuration in the O/S changes the device configuration, so the bootloader option and the O/S option both mirror one another. As long as it works you're fine.

Great Work! Well done!

some thing on the ger image is wrong. I have after ubgrading no usb, no com1, no gsm, no light. and the sd card is unnone card ........ !!!!

Yes, I did, still do.
Why ?

I tried all the Links and Files here on this forum But None of them worked on My O2 Mini S. (WIZARD)
It says " O2 plus is not supported on this device"
How come?

Try this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39128&highlight=o2+plus
It works, first install o2 plus then reset, install patch and reset, then it works.

Though I have tried all..is there any specific one which Works the Best On WIZARD / Qtek9100/ i mate K-Jam/ O2 mini S ?

The patch is for all phones, I used the file listed in the first page. It works on mine.
Storing on the card is a problem, you have to install it on the wizard after installing O2 plus and reseting the wizard.

That site is somewhat odd. It's aimed at asian O2 customers. Is there a UK specific version?

Yeah, already been through that thread. Was looking for one specifically for my phone and hoping to get a UK version....
And I still want to know what the patch actually does....

Then I really don't know what you want or are looking for. This is for all phones including the one I have "Wizard" which is what this forum is all about.

I was just trying to find the one that is officially for my phone (O2 XDA Mini S), not that has been convinced to work with my phone.
But I was still wondering what the patch does. Does it change some registry settings so the phone looks like a compatible phone or have the limitations just been removed from the app or something else?

GOSH !! Whats wrong with O2 Plus ??

un-rar'ed them to my XDA, ran the program file, reset my XDA and then ran the patch file.

FM Radio for [email protected] Mini S?
Is it possible to use the FM radio for O2 Mini S? Which is found in O2 Plus? Thanks.

I've already installed the O2 plus cab. Where do you install the patch? directly into the windows directory? Thanks.

I didn't know you could choose, normally it asks me either phone or card...

I installed the 02plus cab in the main memory then it said that the program 'is designed to run on certain models of xda devices. please check www.seeo2.com for more information'.
when i tried to run the O2Plus.v2.0, it says thers is no application associated with this.

UK O2 Orbit WM6 update

Its now up n running d/loading now as I speak ;-)
http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/O...r=http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html

Installed and running with no problems- apart from having to wait for my battery to reach 50%.
It doesn't look any different to WM5. It's fairly underwhelming really. PPCPimBackup worked a charm though!

Hi
Can any one please advise if WM6 is:
1- Has no SD card corruption problem (this is fixed in WM5 by installing a CAB update)
2- Works with TomTom 6. I currently have TomTom6 which works in WM5 and would like to make sure it is compatable with WM6.
Thanks

In reply to your questions.
1. So far no corruption.
2 TT6 works perfectly.

Many thanks for your resopnse Shand359. I am collecting more info and feedback from users recently installed WM6 (see the other thread) and they report problems with Wifi and Bluetooth. Did you have the chance to check every thing? Is your device UK orbit. Thanks again.

Many thanks

microSDHC on Tytn

Hello,
I know this topic resurfaces every now and then, but I can't seem to find the answer to my question in the numerous threads on the topic.
Is it possible to use microSDHC cards in the HTC TyTN (with the official WM6 rom)?
What are the size limitations (e.g. can one use an 8 GB card)?
Thanks!
Jörg

I don't think there is one "Official" Wm6 Rom - different phone companies offer different ROMs.
But with the right drivers built into that WM6 ROM, it will support SDHC cards.
Keep searching, I'm sure you'll find the right thread, I know I've read about details of the specific driver on here.
From memory, WM6.1 roms should all support SDHC, but not all WM6.0 ROMS will, only those with the right driver.
Cheers, Oggy.

Yes, but I don't know which driver is in that rom, nor whether it is one that supports it.

I use the official AT&T WM6 ROM, and it supports SDHC just fine. I thought that most if not all WM6 ROMs supported SDHC...

What I would do is use whichever WM ROM you want and if it doesn't support SDHC then just patch it so it will support SDHC.

I didn't know there was a patch. But reading that thread, there appear to be different devices where the patch seems to break the wifi. Wifi is important to me (one of the reasons I bought this device).
So, this raises a second question: if it doesn't work out of the box with the rom, does it work with the patch without breaking the wifi?
Jörg

I went ahead and bought an 8 GB Sandisk SDHC card.
And it works!!! No need to install the patch.

Well, I don't know if you can help me out with this... I have an AT&T 8525 with the Official WM6 ROM from HTC (3.62.502.3, Radio: 1.54.07.00) and I bought a SanDisk 8GB SDHC Card and it won't read it. I have already formatted it just in case but nothing. what do you think is going on? Thanks.

I too have an 8525 that is running the official AT&T WM6 with a 4GB SDHC card.
1. Have you reformatted the memory card in FAT32?
2. This happens with my mem card, where when you insert it into the slot, do so slowly until you hear/feel the card barely click into place. The 8525 should be able to read it after that...otherwise it be a soft reboot. Weird I know, but I read someone posting it here somewhere.
Good luck

I have the original WM 6.0 ROM from HTC (European site, German version) on my TyTN and I'm running an 8 GByte microSDHC from SanDisk without any problems.
There is no patch or other actions necessary. It works out of the box.

err i downloaded the patch and i followed all the instructions, replaced both .dll files and installed all the cab files, but it still saying that the capacity on my card is 1948 MB and i have 4GB SDHC. please advise

Please can someone enlighten me on this one? is there any way i can put a driver on my xda trion so that it can read 4GB sdhc? please? i tried the ones instructed in this thread but for some reason it does not work and my hermes still only reads 2GB, i have sandisk 4GB sdhc, WM6. please someone advise.
