Downgrading from WM2003

I just tried WM2003 and came back to SER 1.2 without problems - I was told it's not possible without SD card. Am I so lucky?

Funny, I did the very same thing before reading it couldn't / shouldn't be done, makes me think though, what if it had all gone wrong!!!!!!

For those who have tried the WM2003, please advise me whether it's worth my risk (I'm still indecisive) :?

Just tried to upgrade from 1st version of WME2003 to the latest using the upgrade utility, no go. Goes into upgrade mode on PC & PPC, then progress bar screen on PPC goes to white, a few minutes later a error pop-up on PC telling me to reset & run utility again. When I do so same problem. I'm just curious what version on Activesync are you running & on OS on the Desktop
Thanks

Hey Erick,
I had the same problem with the 1st version of WM2003. I was unable to do the upgrade with the utility. It would seem like the version 4.00.01 of WM2003 is far more mature in terms of this sort of functionality. For example, ActiveSync would not connect with the device in standby. This is not the case in the new version of 2003 which goes to show that maybe some processes were not running.
Going by what I experienced with the older WM2003, I did not try an RUU flash to test if the newer version worked, but I won't be surprised if it does. I was running ActiveSync 3.7 with WinXP Pro.

Thanks Sheran. So I guess it's SD card time This is an ActiveSync problem not an OS problem? What do you think? SD card should work right?
The reason I'm suggesting ActiveSync is I am unable to use any ROM utility to flash any ROM version now, which I was able to do before i.e. SERv1.1.
I believe I had the previous version of ActiveSync back then & now ActiveSync freaks-out when I try to use the upgrade utility for any ROM.

I'm thinking this has more to do with the WM2003 1st version (3.04 build 13083) OS rather than your PC OS or even your ActiveSync. I think the reason some people can use the ROM Upgrade Utility is because they are running the newer version of WM2003 (Ver 4.00.01 build 13100) which seems to work well with ActiveSync.
Unfortunately if you install the older version, until I'm told otherwise, the only way to get out of it is to do an SD Card flash.

Thanks again Sheran I tend to use the SD method, wanted to not have to wait for two write processes. Oh well back to the tried and true method, for now 8)

I was running the newer version (build 13100)

It works for my 838.. I have lockup and unable to switch to SDcard mode only if I connected to my PC and activesync once and unplug. But that seems to be the activesync issue in my 838 which fail to free itself from unplug from PC. So it cannot switch to SDcard mode..and prompt me an error message.
I have already switch to AS4.1 but does not improve my situation.
What is Microsoft doing here?? :roll: A soft reset is the only way to get my device syncup again.. :x

I own this program since I had my XDA mini ...
finally I can use it again to copy some files to my pda and use it as a memory stick...
I also noticed some problems:
1. after I connect the USD cable and the PC recognized my pda as a memory stick, Windows XP asked me to make a reboot in order to be able to use the new 'harddrive'
2. after I copied a .jpg to my pda it looked like the storage card is no longer recognized by WM5. The icons of the shortcuts to programs I installed are missing and I cannot browse with TotalCommander to my storage card.
After disconnecting the USD cable, my storage card could be found again - is this a bug or a feature?!
After the first connect in mode 'Card Export' I switched to 'Active Sync' and the synching went on without any problems.
After agains swithing to mode 'Card Export' my Wizard gave an error message, as follows:
"Cannot switch between Card Export and Active Sanc modes. This may be because of missing dlls or corrupted registry entries."
This looks also to me like an incompatibility between card export and active sync.
Hmpf ... rebootet the phone and connected - voila - my Wizard was again properly verified as Memory Stick and I again could upload another .jpg to my device.
It looks definately unfinished ... but it is working quite acceptable to me, though there is a lot room for improvement, it will get the job done, if I need a memory stick 'on the go'.
My device is a HTC Wizard, O2 german.

i may be wrong on the second point, but activesync alters a file when you transfer it to the pda,
so if you transfer a file to the card (even using a card reader) then put the card back in the pda wm5 will not recognise it properly.
point 1 should only happen the first time of detection.

have no problem with my XDA II...

I am experiencing the same... Please update this topic if you'll find a solution.

i'm having the missing dlls dialog problem too.
I noticed that once you activesync'ed, you can't switch to card mode and need to reboot the device.
However, mine can't seem to work anymore. It won't even switch. But I also tried disabling my today's screen (pocket plus and pocket breeze) and it works... but only the icon manage to change. My PC can't detect it as a mass storage device though.
Any luck?

Mine is working fine, I got that dll message once but a soft reset fixed it.

Just wondering what roms are you guys using that works with softick? I'm using rom version 1.6.7.1 WWE which doesn't seem to work. I tried hard reset and install softick on the first reboot. The computer detected a new hardware but failed to install the device.

Same here too!! using ver 2.12
ver 2.11 worked fine with me, so most probably I will downgrade to it now.
I emailed the tech support and waiting for their reply. I will post it here in case I get anything new.

I just tried v2.12, and it didn't work. I found v2.11 on some download site, and installed it. v2.11 worked fine on Qtek's 2.8.7.1 ROM.

I cant get this to work either using 2.12. I get the device manager problem as mentioned previously. Does anyone know where can i get 2.11 from?
found it here:
http://www.softick.com/files/CardExportPPC211c-softick-en.zip
but i get the same problem

You can find previous versions in the "download" section on the left.
I'm having the same issues, used to work fine with 2.11, then it stopped being able to write but could still read (this is on my Mac), and now with 2.12 I can't even get the thing to mount. I'm talking with the developer to see if we can get a fix.

Any 2.12 and 2.11 not working for me... My computer and three others shows me message that they don't have drivers

I posted a query on their forum.
Heres their reply:

I'm a bit confused regarding their reply.
You asked a question about the Wizard and they replied saying they are waiting on delivery of HTC Universal to examine it better. I'm not sure what the Universal has to do with compatibilty for the Wizard as they are completely different devices with different hardware. (Mybe i'm wrong and the hardware components that Card Export uses is actually the same on both devices)

Puckster -
I noticed this on second look, and asked for clarification.

just want to inform everyone that there is a free alternative. it's similar to softick card export that it turns your device into a plug-and-play card reader. it's called wm5torage (yes, the number '5' is the letter 'S')
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411&highlight=wm5torage
it does not have the system tray icon that enables you to switch between activesync and export mode, but rather you open the app in your accessories folder and activate/deactivate it from there.
but hey, it's free and it works

Card Export 2.15 Works! (at least for Mac users!)

Softick released Card Export 2.15 today and recommended I try it. Sure enough, it works, even on my Mac! There is a catch however, you must enable the following option in Preferences -> Hardware:
- Use Dumb Endpoint
(Alt Init Order may also help if you're having issues, but on my Mac it made no difference either way)
I have attached the .cab since it seems only an exe is available on the website, this should be useful for other Mac users without VirtualPC.
Enjoy!

Nope, doesnt work with my T-Mobile MDA Vario with latest Qtek ROM.
Same problem as v2.12, it hangs when you get the balloon with 'Found new USB device'. I used an Acer Travelmate laptop with Windows XP Pro with latest patches.

Thanks mate...
Works like a dream, solved part of my mac/WM5 problems, now sync to entourage is the only one left...
Do not suppose you got a wondersolution to that Sprezzatura
I mean MissingSync and PocketMac does not yet.
Thanks again for the tip off...

I had the same issue until i read a post on the Softick forum. Softick support and another user suggested enabling a combination of "Alt init order" and "Use dumb endpoint" in Card Export Preferences (Hardware tab) as with what sprezzatura posted above.
Now i can use the software perfectly and can swap to / from ActiveSync & Card Export with no problems and no soft resets are required (except for the mandatory reset immediately after installing Card Export)
Goto: http://softick-forum.com/index.php to read what others have said.
Thanks sprezzatura for the heads up that they released the new version.
Cheers,
Chris
p.s. I have tested this and it works for me on every Dell, Toshiba & Clone PC / Laptop i have.

Wicked **** !!
v2.15 works perfect with those 2 settings. Great stuff !!

After I read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4

2. use mytt <-- may not hurt (I see 4 color strip with "NO GSM" at the bottom, stuck in there. The PPC will stop if I remove the battery for a few seconds and put battery back)
3. Do hard reset, format the PPC (stuck in white screen, then do soft reset. The PPC will ""NOT"" stop if I remove the battery for a few seconds and put battery back)

What do you mean reflash?
Does it mean that Reinstall the WM6, or install other OS like WM5?
However,Without activesync how can I do that?
OR reflash mean formart?

You did very stupid thing, you have flashed GSM based rom to a CDMA device, the only thing you can do is to use WM2003SE, flash your device with its original or any CDMA (Harrier) based WM2003SE rom
Quick Howto:
Put your device in bootloader mode, put it on the cradle, start the upgrade including radio (the same version can be flashed on top of the previous one), this will fix your device, if it does not then after successful WM2003SE upgrade do the MTTY "set 14 0", "task 28", "task 0".
Keep me posted if you have problem
P.S.
WM5 and WM6 does not work on Harrier (CDMA Blueangel) device, i hope my instructions to help you to have at least usable device

So far, I can use the phone without any problem. Previously, I tried to upgrade my phone because I want to use bluetooth headset to listen music. That can only be done in WM5 or later. Now I reinstall my CDMA version of WM2003. I find out that the bluetooth does not work due to expire of lincese key. Does anyone have any suggestion how I can over come it? I just want my phone back to exact a few day ago. Thanks
thanks

lincese
Someone has posted the attached file and said that it can fix BT license expired error. I have not tried it myself since I dont face such prob, so use it on your own risk.
To use it - extract archive to your PocketPC and run EXE file.

Thanks, but does not work on my PPC6600

how to downgrade?

guys how do I downgrade from 6.5 to 6.1? 6.5 It locks the Always use the camera does not make me ... when I connect the phone via usb coming out of my window into the 'bottom right corner that tells me that he found the hardware "HTC Magician," but not me active sync detects it and if I go to active sync on my phone tells me: "to Synchronize your device with a desktop computer, install the synchronization software from the Getting Started Disc included with your device on your PC.
If you company supports syncring directly with its Exchange Server you can set up your device to sync with it.
Learn more about synchronizing with a server "
What can I do?
excuse me for my pronunciaiton but i'm italian XD

Just install the 6.1 rom like you've done with 6.5

i've read this totuorial to flashing from sd, but
# download the 1.13BS rom or any other BIG Storage rom-image from the ftp
# get ntrw.exe from the ftp
# Download romupdate from the ftp
# Download the Hexeditor from the ftp
what is ftp?

Here is the xda-developers ftp-link:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Tools/Backup_tools1/
There are the programms you need.
EDIT:
Before you try to flash from your SD-Card, flash from your PC. If you need active sync connection, try active sync 4.5.

see a warning box that says:
Avviso
530 permission denied
What does this mean?

Sorry, wrong link,
try this:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Tools/Backup_tools1/

and where i can take this?
the 1.13BS rom or any other BIG Storage rom-image
thank you ^^
