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)

HOW-TO: RSU backup/restore and upgrade

It would be very nice to have such topic in sticky, so that anyone can read and understand....
1) How to backup GSM Rom to SD
2) How to restore GSM Rom from SD
3) understand RSU version numbers....
Any help is appreciated

RSU version numbers
I'll start with rom versions...
As far as I understood we have:
- 3.1x and 3.2x are QTEK RSU
- 4.xx are O2 roms
- 6.xx are US roms
Am I right?

i found that the website of itsme is very helpfull.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/
it has information about a bootable sd and what kind of specific signature
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/wallaby-bootloader.html
HTC$WALLABY00 upgrade bootloader
HTC$WALLABY11 upgrade CE image
HTC$WALLABY22 upgrade Boot + CE image
HTC$WALLABY33 run diagnostic code from sd card
HTC$WALLABY44 upgrade gsm rom
HTC$WALLABY55 upgrade CE + gsm rom
HTC FLASH KEY card has signature - 5.17, see sector 5 for real card contents
as you can see the 44 is very intresting
i am no hero in making a bootdisk,
so we must have a disc with the wallaby bootloader.
extracte the file from the sd
change the header with a hexeditor?
ad a gsm rom somewhere?
anyway
also been looking at serial command list from that site
its all very intresting
problem is with
radio update failed devices is that the battery is empt so connecting it to a serial cable it must alse have a power suply
otherwise it wil stop working in 30 seconds

Error 260 on SVP M3100 HERM100

Hi, I hope someone out there can shed some light onto this problem. This is what I have: Orange SVP M3100; Operator: 14.123.1.614; ROM Ver.: 1.23.61.4; ROM Date: 07/13/06; Radio Ver.: 1.06.00.00; Protocol Ver.: 32.37.7010.01H.
I've downloaded and successfully (I think) flashed Hard-SPL-V7.
Bootloader used to read: HERM100; IPL-1.01; SPL-1.04.
Bootloader now reads: HERM100; IPL-1.04; HERM100; SPL-210.Olipro.
The phone still works and syncs. properly, but when I try running SPV_M3100ROMUpdate_0407, it eventually returns Error 260 (Update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.) This happens in Vista Ultimate and in XP Pro.
The program will go as fare as identifying the current image as Ver.: 1.23.61.4 and suggests to replace it with image Ver.: 2.11.61.1 however, when I click on OK, it puts the phone into Bootloader mode, disconnects the USB connection and unable to reconnect again. After this I have to do a soft reset and everything goes back to normal.
I'd very much appreciate any ideas to help me get around this conundrum. Many thanks.

put device into bootloader and try flashing from there, otherwise try sd card

OK, I could not flash from Bootloader either; same error message.
Extracted the SVP_M3100ROMUpdate_0407.exe onto the SD card.
Ended up with the following files: EnterBL.exe; GetDeviceData.exe; README.doc; ROMUpdateUt.exe; RUU.dll; RUUUI.dll; RUU_signed.nbh.
None of the above files will run on the PDA. What do I do next? Sorry for being such a novice and thanks again.

Correct, the files are not run from the device.
The hermes wiki has the directions for flashing from an SD card, go check it out.

Thanks for that jdc. I found the information you have suggested and here is what I did so fare:
-Formatted the SD card.
-Renamed the ROM image file to HERMING.nbh
-Inserted the SD card with the renamed image file into the phone.
-Restarted the phone and confirmed that it was reading from the card.
-Put the phone into Bootloader mode by pressing PWR+OK+Reset.
The multi-colour Bootloader screen comes up and nothing else happens. I'd tried pressing the PWR button just in case, but it had no effect.
Any more ideas? THANKS!

SPV m3100 upgrade - error 260 - connection drops when allowing enterBL.exe to run on
Hi - am going through the same process to upgrade my SPV m3100.
I've followed Mr Vanx's guides to the letter - ROM update from 1.23.61.4 to Hard-SPL-2.1 - as soon as i click 'yes' on the phone to allow enter.BL.exe to run - the connection between phone and laptop immediately drops.
I've tried using different USB ports as suggested in different threads = but to no avail
Am running Vista Home Premium.
I'm a novice so sorry for sounding stupid - any help would be really appreciated.

I had the same error until I disabled the phone lock. Worked ok after that

I had this problem for awhile, and I'm using Vista. I can't remember the problem to explain it, but I did one of 3 things to fix it.
1. Follow Mr Vanx's Vista Guide. The most important part is downloading his attached drivers and getting Vista to detect your phone as an "HTC USB Device" or "HTC USB Sync" or something like that.
2. Then I would recommend installing the official ATT Rom, you can download it off of HTC's website.
3. Install Schaps Advanced Config cab, and disable "security warnings"
After this done, you should be able to install a cooked rom from here.

i suggest u take a look on forums on how to installate a custom rom, but since its friday and i am always ready to go home from work i thought, lets be helpfull lol
step one: by the looks on what u write u dont have activesync installed on the laptop: go download Activesync from Microsoft website
step two: read the following topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 and in that way u can unlock your phone for custom rom flashing
step three: download and install a custom rom of your choice. U could try to start with one of the roms of Shady313. They are downloadable @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546805
be very carefull what u do, try to read several topics first like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
look around on the artemis forums and read the topics which concern flashing rom subjects.. u might learn a bit before you start flashing [or wrecking ] your phone

Hello, you original wm5? I have problems with the P3300, is cid locked, if you please upload somewhere wm5.and do not make the mistake of another rom on the phone without unlock CID first.

Yes, the original wm5.

How to update your HTC Artemis
Those having questions on flashing (i.e. updating) their HTC Artemis could try following these steps 1) Backup e.g. PIM Backup 2) disable standby and hibernation then remove SIM & SDHC cards 3) if necessary then cid unlock 4) recommend hard reset or update to the latest official build 5) if necessary Update SPL to latest 1.11.cmon 6) flash new rom then hard reset 7) put in SIM & SDHC cards and enjoy the result of the hard work by the developer

Trying to upgrade my Artemis (WM6 Official ESN) to TouchFlo or WM6.5

Hi, to everybody:
I have got a HTC P3300 device (Artemis) purchased in Spain in 2006, unlocked, so I've got no problems on that.
It's was updated by me to WM6 Professional (OS CE 5.2.1620, Build 18125.0.4.2) using official ROM for free devices.
ROM Ver.
ROM Ver: 3.13.412.1 ESN
Date: 8/28/2007
Radio ver: 02.94.90
Protocol ver: 4.1.13.44
ExtROM ver: 3.13.412.102
Now I would like to upgrade it to a cooked ROM like Shady's new ones with WM6.5 or another one with TouchFlo but I can't, altough I've tried almost everything. I'm not a newbie and I work like developer so I understand the most I read but now I'm completely lost; let me explain to you.
My laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) installed and I know that this OS(and Vista) have problems so I also tried on XP Professional SP2 without success.
I tried to upgrade the device using the exe directly and trough USPL (from this site and others) but nothing works. I always get the same 2 errors; normally when I use USPL I have error 260 (connection) because the device doesn't go to bootloader screen and if I restart the device into bootloader manually, if the update process starts (not always), it reaches less than 5 or 10% returning a 270 error with message "File corrupt".
I read a lots of in this forum and similar ones checking steps one by one, even trying to update/install USB drivers for Vista but nothing works. When I use USPL, screen goes to black and "unkonwn device" plugged in to USB port is detected on the system so I think the problem is the program can't put the device in correct state, but if I activate bootloader by my self "Sync Device" appears in devices manager but I cannot go futher as I said before.
Do I must make a downgraded to original WM5 and start from it (maybe a problem with loader version)or there's anything that I forgot?. If someone knows a link or think that I missed some step, please help me.
Any kind of help would be appreciated so much. Thank you in advanced

Solved!
OK, here I am!.
Finnally I solved the problem. The issue was that I had have to "do a hard reset before" try to update the ROM. I read somewhere that an application locked the device avoiding the ROM upgrade. I just went to settings > system > emtpty memory and since then I was able to upgrade like the posts said .
Best regards

6 minutes between your first and second post and u say: finally i solved the prob!
hahaha
good to hear its working again

Can you post a link for the WM 6.5 version, i found two files, but couldn't install

in the rom section u can find a few wm 6.5 versions.
unlock your phone with USPL and then follow the installation instructions of the roms posted
shady313 and babbelut roms are the most current ones based on 6.5
neither of them have touchflo support though but babbelut rom has spb shell, a different kind of touch cube system
