How To: Revert to Windows Mobile 2003

Whats needed:
TyphoonNBFTools: http://w1.whatcounter.com/dlcount.p...yphoonNBFTools_0.3_SPL1010064_SPVServices.zip
Any Official Rom (I used I-Mate SP3 WWE).
A Typhoon running Windows Mobile 5.0.
Reverting Back:
Run TyphoonNBFTools and Open the SPL1010064.nbf. Right click on SPL in the bottom part of the screen and choose Emergency Flash. If this is the first time you have used the program you will get a prompt on your phone to run the runtimes. Choose yes. Click OK to flash the new bootloader to your phone. Next disable Activesync by turning off USB connections. Turn off your phone. While holding down the Camera button insert the USB cable, the phone should run the bootloader and you will be presented with the tri-color screen. It should say USB in the bottom corner. Now run Mtty and choose USB connection. Hit enter in the blank white space. You should now see Cmd>. Type "info 2" without the quotes. You should see some information about your phone. Next type "format BINFS" agains without the quotes. This one is case sensitive. You should see format complete or something along those lines. Now close Mtty and re-enable USB connections. Run the exe from the update you downloaded and follow the instructions. Your phone should now boot back up to WM2003.
For those stuck in bootloader mode you will need to run mtty and reflash the wm5.bin to the phone then follow the steps above.

Man! Can't thank you enough for this. I took my phone to the service centre, willing to pay for the repair, and they could not do it. Every thing works fine now. Very good manual, clear instructions and correct info!
THANKS!

Hi
I Am Trying To Follow The Procedure Mentioned. But When I Right Click On Spl I Am Not Getting 'emergency Flash' Active.
Can U Please Assist Me Regarding This

You need TyphoonNBFTools.dll installed on your phone. Try running TyphoonNBFTools and selecting Tools->Immediate Flash Tools->Test Immediate Flash. It should automatically install the required stuff for you. Check you phone when you run the program. You should get a prompt to installed a program from unknown publisher. Make sure to choose yes.

Stuck in bootloader
Just trying to do this following my question here.
I though it was going well but I have a major problem now! I managed to do the emergency flash, but every time I boot I just get the tricolour bootloader screen (IPL 1.00, SPL 1.01.0064) and can't get any further. Any ideas please? I have tried using mtty to load wm5.bin but get the error "MTTYDownloadImageNot allow operation!"
I have also tried re-doing the "format BINFS" and doing the above again but still no joy.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!

maybe u need to make a "goldcard"
my feeler (o2 xphoneII) lives again after flash with goldcard.

I can't find a way to create one for Typhoon, can you point me in the right direction?

I try flash Amadeus = Qtek 8100 with UpdateTool from Qtek 8310.
Update process stopped at 74% , and UpdateProgramm closed.
Now my Qtek 8100 not Powered ON , and can't enter in boot mode (tricolor screen) with "Camera" button hold + USB cable conneting.
PC don't see any USB devices when I connected my Qtek 8100 to USB port.
I think I erased Boot loader in my Qtek 8100 (but not sure).
Is any method for repair ?
WBR !

Newbie: cannot install Hard SPL for love nor money help!!!

Before anyone ask's I have read all the posts regarding installing the Hard SPL but still have the same problem.
When I connect through Vista 32 via WMDC it recognizes my device fine, I then follow the steps in the tutorials but as soon as I press the button to update the ROM image it goes into the 3 colour screen and then into the updating ROM progress bar were it sits at 0% for ever.
My WMDC has disconnected at this stage and then I get a screen saying communication error which is obvious as WMDC has disconnected.
Is this a WMDC issue/ Vista or am I missing something
I then have to soft reset and it just re boots into my standard ROM.
Any advice woiuld be greatly appreciated

hello
1) connect your polaris to PC
2) run update utility
3) when you see 3 color screen unplug USB and replug it immediately
4) your SPL flash may start
5) when flash end correctely your polaris reboot
6) Flash any ROM you want

Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried doing exactly as you have stated.
Unplug and reconnect in the 3 colour bar screen, after which it goes into the updating screen and sits at 0% for ages until communication error comes up.
My WMDC has disconnected and does not reconnect.
I'm at my wits end!!

Do it from MicroSD, before format it in FAT 32, after rename the file .nbh in POLAIMG.nbh e copy in your microSD, put microSD in Polaris e put it in bootloader ( photo + softreset ) you will see something like IPL, bootloader, SPLASH1, SPLASH2, gsm & OS, press POWER button and wait, it might be long,
never put off microSD, when it finishes soft reset, in the same way you can flash any ROM, always format microSD before.

I think hard-spl can not be installed with sdcard method!

Why not ??? With Trinity you can do it.

cheers guy's for the feedback ,but not sure about the SD method unless someone can confirm it works for Orbit 2/ Cruise.
Somebody out there must have had the same issue as me regards this....what did you do to resolve.
Cheers

But this is not Trinity...Try it...
I know You can flash polaris if you use jumpspl (this is used by hard-spl flash) or hard-spl (this is used by os and radio flash).
But if you have original spl on you pda, and you want to flash with sd card, you will not use nor jumpspl neither hard-spl.

hi there.
try to hard spl with your sd card not in the device.
go in to bootloader mode (BL mode - by pressing down the Camera button, then using the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone and release when tricolor screen appears),
now connect the device to your pc (it should show usb in the white part)
flash what you may... hard spl first, oli's recomended by me.

ItayE,
Did you try the hard-spl flash with sd method? Does it work?

I didn't read it was Vista compliant so I ran it from a windows XP SP2 machine with Active Sync 4.5.
I did mine by taking out the SIM card and the SD Card then resettting and running the HardSPL.
HTH
Leon

Cheers for the advice guys I have managed to do it.
I used the Hard-SPL-V2 first which worked fine then I flashed to one of A.Serg roms, very nice and quick it is too.
However my reception bars are down to 2 from 4 that I previously had, although the reception seems ok.
Sim: O2 UK
Rom: 1.52.ASerg.4 WWE
The radio version I have is: 1.58.25.14
Now this is were I am confused.
Can I flash the radio Rom without affecting the o/s Rom, I have downloaded a couple of radio rom versions but not sure if you do it the same way as I am scared of over writing something.
Also could anybody advise if they are in UK on O2 which version gives best reception.
Any further advice much appreciated.

sos!!my Polaris can't upgrade,even hardspl V2 doesn't works

my Polaris SPL-1.52.0000
when i flash hardspl ,it stops at 0%,and screen of the Polaris remain in bootloader mode(screen in three color) ,and the PolarisUnlocker doesn't works too.
anyone who can tell me why,i'm really appreciate!

Try POWER + CAMERA + SOFTRESET (this enter the bootloader mode) and then install the ROM you like ... you will get no errors !!!

thx for your answer,the same ,ERROR 262

try replacing the data cable and reinstalling the activesync;
then enter bootloader
see that you get "usb" and then try to upgrade.
first thing i would do is reinstall the activesync (sometimes bad drivers get registered in windows)

Did you follow instructions and unplugged and then replugged your Polaris when it told you to on the bootscreen?

operating system?
do you use windows XP? if vista you should try on XP..

Remove your SD card before flashing !
Unplug and replug your device when you see 'Replug device'

thanks you !!my computer is xp,i have three data cable,none works!enter bootloader or Remove SD card doesn't works too!
Now i'm try to reinstall my computer system......god bles me!

Hello,

Well, this
- Get a MicroSD card that is formatted as Fat32. The card must be formatted as Fat32 otherwise it will not work. It doesn't need to be blank or freshly formatted (but it wont hurt if it is)
- Find the ROM image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "POLAIMG.nbh". Depending on the source of your ROM file, it may not be named RUU_Signed.nbh, but just rename the nbh file you obtained to POLAIMG.nbh
- Copy the file POLAIMG.nbh to the root of your microSD card
- Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Camera button, then using the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone. Release both buttons once the bootloader screen appears.
- You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.
- After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.

ActivSync - Flashing problem

Hi guys! It's again me
I have problem with flashing my X1.
Downloaded R2AA Generic English ROM. Installed 3.5 .NET framework on my Vista 64bit(all updates, including .NET 3.5 SP1), everythings suppa - when phone is ON - active sync detects, sync works.
Problem appears in that 4 color mode, where I want to upgrade ROM.
4 colored stripes and text appears, but when i plug the USB cable in.... on X1 it shows "USB" text but active sync doesnt detect the device. I just can't sync my X1 with PC while in that "ROM 4-colored mode" - and in progression - cant update my ROM.
Pls help
I want to install R2AA original, generic UK ROM by that method:
1:enter boot mode on X1
2:connect cable to PC and activesync the device (WinMobDevCentre)
3:run RUU and instal ROM's .image file
Because of temporary leak of mem.card

Have you tried running the program when connected with USB in boot mode?
Program should detect your phone

Active Sync is passive process.
How can I manually sync it?
Im in boot mode - entering USB and - no sync - so no ROM update

1. Enter boot mode
2. Connect with USB (when first time windows has to install drivers, wait for completion)
3. Run RUU (the program should recognize your phone)

1:entered boot mode
2:connected USB - windows installed device named "Microsoft USB Sync"
3:RUU doesnt recongnize connected device (no activesync connection)- cannot be continued

Hmm, let's try something else
1. Leave phone on
2. Connect to pc and WinMobDevCen
3. Run RUU

RUU gives me message: The update ultility could not open requested file.

Rename the image file to ruu_signed.nbh and place it in the same folder as the RUU utility

It runs! Thanks a lot
I hope it won't damage phone
...................
It crashed damn!
stopped at 10%.... i haven't HARD-SPL, thought generic ROMS don't require it...
What now ?

If you wait for the RUU utility to say the flash has been succesfull it won't be damaged....
Just don't do anything with your phone/pc during flash
Glad to be helpful...

Look my upper post :/

You're correct, generic roms have radio and spl included.
Did ruu gave an error code?
ps you do need hard-spl if you're phone was originally in another language!

It had error. But I don't remember number.
On phone it writes: upgrade ROM code error
I had Vodafone R1AA UK ROM
Just want Generic R2AA UK.

Probably hard-spl is installed even after the error, so you're abl to flash other rom than vodafone UK.
You can check this by going into boot mode and check what it says in the upper color bar.

it writes:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
so what SPL is it? hard or soft?
