Getting my XDA updated!

Hey, first post, n first i wanna say thanks! The unlock app worked a treat, i now have 3 XDA v1's to sell, and one for my self, all unlocked!
So, onto my problem...
I have a plain (unlocked) XDA which ive been using religiously, and i want to update it to ppc2003. So i have 2 questions.
1. o2 have the update software on their website. Is it an upgrade to 2003?
2. If the above is a big NO. Where can i purchase the upgrade?
One little niggle tho, if i update it to 2003, will i lose the 'unlocked' status on the phone? Or is it unlocked for good?
Reference stuff so you guys dnt have to ask:
ROM VER: 3.17.03
RADIO VER: 4.21.00
Many thanks guys!

Answer
1: I personally don't know this, someone else can answer im sure.
2: You can get the update here (cook your own ROM) http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
Finally I don't think it will be relocked after being unlocked, but again the experts can answer better than I. Good Luck.

Okay, so the second link gives me all these options to make roms. Thing is, i have no idea what to pick for version etc once ive picked pocketpc2003.
Anybody able to shed some light?

EDIT: Bit the bullet, updating now using what i THINK is the right rom. Will let you know.
EDIT: Seemed to work ok. For some reason tho, on every reboot, i get some error bout an app not being compatible with ppc2003. So im rebuilding a virgin ROM and will go from there.
EDIT: Same problem, this rom has nadda but a new bootscreen, today screen, and the 'reg-hacks'. I'm all out of ideas.
'This program only works with Windows Mobile 2003 (4.20.1081)

Its one of the reg hacks that is the problem, cant remember which one though.

Disable
Code:
Fix 'multiple resets make device slow' bug (not A.30.0x or 4.01.1x)
This should cause the problem. Or delete manually the file wm03hotfix from the startup of your device....
HTH
Stefan

Excellent.
Now i know what the problem is, i'll back everything up, and make me a new ROM tonight.
Cheers again guys,
DB

Can't upgrade to WWE from German P4350

Hi all!
I just got my HTC P4350 today (I bought it in Germany). It is a HTC band, not any O2, T-mobile or Vodaphone. However, it has a German OS came along (WM5 as written on the case).
I checked the forums and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286873&page=3
Downloaded the last WEE Rom and tried to upgrade, but I got the error message which says:
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Upgrade Utility.
HUEbc669-HFTD55670-HUEbc568-HFTD55670
Then click "Exit" to quit.
Could anyone tell me if it's possible to change my OS to English? And if yes, how can I do it?
Many thanks to all!

Any help? @[email protected]

No - because it is ALL explained in several threads here in the Forum. So please read.

There is so much info about this topic already (we're thrown dead by it) by the way back from holidays

I checked about 20 topics before posting mine, and couldnt find the information I need.
I dont know much about these PDA, either browse the forums too often as you can see. But thanks anyway for your kindness. I will try to look for more topics.

lol - no matter.
perhaps you search for:
CID-unlock
RUU
WM6 roms
etc.
all discussed many times.
BUT: you cannot flash a german Herald with an english rom without unlocking.
Herefor you can use imei.check.uk - but it cost.
@dutchman - welcome back. you haven´t missed anything.

Yeah i see Well not that I expected so... especially not from HTC! But sometimes miracles happen lol

hi
think is the best way
i paid at imei.check.uk and received unlock instruction in 3 minutes , later i flash with programs from wiki site
thx god now i have english in herald )

Hello,
I have similar problems with a German Vodafone device.
Does anybody have any experience with MyLanguage (http://www.mylanguage.mobi)? As far as I can tell this would be sufficient for me to have an English speaking Herald.
Thanks for your ideas!
best regards,

Ever heard the phrase...seek and ye shall find?
The places you need to be are Trinity Mobile 6: , Trinity upgrading etc. and racerx's excellent Trinityguides. There you will find out all you need to know - presented in simple English.
You will, however, have to read. This is good, as your understanding of what you are doing to your beloved Trinity will be solid - and once you've understood, you'll be away.
If, after reading, you are none the wiser, probably best to stick with what you've got.

Thankyou, i have been looking but its confusing without a decent tutorial. But you directed me so i shall study

1) unlocking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293957
2) Download a Rom what you want http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=359
3) Start any be happy

Once you have flashed your first ROM, be prepared to try all the others. Flashing is a wee bit addictive until you find just that perfect one. Personally I am still on the stock WM5 ROM, too much customisation and software installed to go through that again.

Thnx for the help from everyone, you wouldnt believe how much i have been searching on google n youtube etc.... surprisingly little about the subject untill i found this site.

Need help. Got a hd2 with a SN number from taiwan and need a english updateble rom

Sorry to bother all of you. After 80 plus hours i am close to give up and sell my HD2 or dump it.
Bought a "English HD2" in Shanghai. Found out its a old ROM with many problems. Downloaded the new ROM from HTC and got a traditional Chinese version and for sure I do not speak Chinese. .Means iI can never use or update the phone if i leave like that.
Started research, found a HK SN and and downloaded from HTC a Hongkong english version and installed it.
Installed the win frame work update to.
It worked but there is no phone keyboard anymore but now i can input in CHINESE! I need the phone keyboard I cant life with out one.
Found the EzInput soft key and installed several times, every time after installing it the phone wont start anymore and only a hard reset can bring it to life again. I made a soft rest before installing the keyboard.
Can any body help me with the keyboard?
Or any information where to get a NEW ROM which works in English but need to be able to show( not type) Chinese characters.
I am begging all of you, my eyes are red, my girlfriend is so upset that she went back to her parents and I had to switch back to my E75. SAFE me please
Rom version installed: 1.72.831.1 (82124)
OS: 5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82
Tow more glitches i can't fix.
Switched it on after hard reset. Now the time is wrong. 27 min wrong and i don't know why. I set the time manual now.
Location is most times wrong. I life in Shanghai and I am all times set in Shenzhen or Suli or somewhere elsei If i drive suddenly the location corrects to Shanghai

instal hspl2 and then you can instal any rom you like (over usb).

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I am not a developer. If i follow what you suggested what happen? No rom software anymore? Where do i find the rom(cab file )i need?

Question
Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for your HD2 in Shanghai? Did you order it, or buy it there? Thanks!
You can probably get a better answer to your questions in the ROM Development section of the forum.

you can install any rom you like. even those official ones from other regions.

Hey Mate,
I have the Telstra HD2 which has loads of crap software, so all I did was run the HSPL (HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and then found the Asia WWE (World Wide English) ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283&highlight=WWE, it has the serial number for you to download directly from HTC.
I have been using the South East Asia (Asian WWE) 1.66.707.1, with no issues.
Hope this helps
