I'm responsible of a dozen of these for my office, used basically to synch with Exchange via gprs. My pain is that they hard-reset them almost every week. Do there is the possibility of customizing the ROM so that after a reset all the parameters for the connection will be already there? or will be easier using a "deafult" restore from a SD? thanks
You could adapt the Extended ROM or use a special folder on a SD-Card.....

customised rom
I have done alot of this for work, with xda 1,2, 2s,and the mini.
You can download the software for unlocking the extended rom from the ftp page or there are numerous threads with it on. Make sure you edit the config file in extended rom to call your customised cab file.
I found the easiest way was to change an existing cab file rather than build a new one.
i use wince cab manager for the cabs.
There is also ER2003edit which is really good, that can also be found on the ftp site

for you knowledge, burning the ExtROM means saying byebye to the warranty or what? For the legal aspect I think I should have no problem because what I want to achieve is just removing some software and customizing a bit the settings; by the way our Mini are not branded with any provider customization.
warranty
i just keep a complete rom dump on a memory card, so if i need to put it back to normal for warranty reason, then i just reflash it.
I want to upgrade my 02 rom to the imate rom
which imate rom supports the aku2 patch, as o2 dont know when there going to release this support.
this is also my question, is it possible to use Imate Jasjar ROM for O2 Exec, and where i can get it , then i can use O2 software on new ROM ? Thank you.
YES!
I upgraded my O2 Exec to the new i-mate ROM and man.. it's like owning a completely different machine.
plenty of memory left ( i guess memory leaks were mostly fixed)
dazzling speed.
machine doesn't get stuck several times a day.
I am happy.
You have the official ROM. Search through it, I don't know in which thread I saw it, but the filename is: JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.zip
You should be able find it here using the search button.
Then you need to use a tool called maupgradeut_noid_645.exe
Also available here. It will allow to install the JASJAR ROM on O2 Exec. But I think your warrenty will voice.. unless you revert back to the O2 ROM which is downloadable from my-xda.com

Sorry again, i have this question, my XDA Exec is unlocked by deffault, after updated with the Imate ROM, is my Exec still unlocked ? Thank you.
yes your exec will still be unlocked. I have an exec with a Orange simcard and the latest imate rom. No problems.

From the link under i-mate in the wiki page for universal
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Upgrades
go to ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/
Get the file JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.zip. About 64Mb. Unzip the file twice & you will get the readme.doc file for the instruction.
Any idea where i can find maupgradeut_noid_645.exe? Tried search and tried the ftp, no luck.

I think I used this version when I upgraded O2 XDA Exec to JASJAR rom. Didn't run into any problems
Thanks for your replies and PMs, i-Mate rom is now installed
Also got fed up with waiting for O2 update and tonight loaded the imate rom and push email is working nicely . I will try and post some instructions tomorrow if I get chance.
what should be the final specs
mine are ROM 1.13.82 WWE
rom date 11/30/05
radio 1.09.00
protocol 42.42.P8
Ext ROM 1.13.188 WWE
ihave downloaded imate JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship should I update with this my O2 EXEC
Please advise
Here is the process as promised. There isnt too much too it so hopefully you will be able to understand my ramblings.
You need the Imate JASJAR rom file which I downloaded from
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Shipped_Complete_Updates/
The file that you need is JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.zip.
First thing to do is to extract the files in the exe. There are two ways you could do this.
You can do this by running the exe file this will extract the files into a temporary directory in your profile.. for example c:\documents and settings\username\Local Settings\Temp, look for a very recently created directory in there, don’t ok the error message that you get when you run the exe as it will delete the temporary files. Just copy the files out of the temp directory somewhere else.
OR
You can use winrar to extract the files from the exe. Extract all the files into a single flat directory. Remove all directory structures so that you are left with just one directory containing all the files. (didnt try this way but I presume it will work)
Then download this file
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
Extract the .exe in there to the same directory containing all your other files.
Then you need to make a small change to one of the text files. Look in the directory for
RUU.conf
Open it in notepad and add this line
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
then save it
That’s about it…..
Usual wavers at this point.. upgrading flash may lead to dead device.. do so at your own risk… invalidate warranty…etc etc
Once you have plucked up the courage connect your device up to Active sync and run the exe file that was contained in the MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip file that you downloaded.
It seemed to take around 30 mins for the whole update process.
Im just going through adding my applications again and setting up the Vodafone GPRS configuration but so far seems fine and push email works nice and fast so I am pleased I have made the change.
Hi jwarbutron,
Thanks for the walkthrough, Im following your instructions and have now started the upgrade.
I got past the screen where it tells me my current version numbers and what the new versions will be. I said OK, go for it, and now its displaying the 'Checking the information on your device .. please wait ..' screen, I presume I just wait for 30 mins or so and the upgrade is complete? There isn't a progress bar or another screen Im supposed to see?
Cheers
Nas
hanks jwarbutron,
Your procedure works like a charm Thanks once again . Pl let me know how to get original #D phone pad interface
Unfortunately it didn't work for me, I left my phone plugged in for about 4 hours, it still just displayed the checking page, and now my phone wont start. Switching it on, I see some text in portrait mode saying usb at the top, and v1.00 at the bottom.
I'll dig around this forum to see if I can find a solution.
Nas
Third attempt looks to be good though! Got the progress bar, upgrading now... :lol:
Nas
Just updated last night, and good grief the imate ROM is so much better.
Its much smoother, quicker and generally a much more pleasant experience.
Very much recommended to anyone who who has the Exec.
Cheers
Rich
Well, my upgrade completed, but I still get the portrait page with USB at the top and v1.00 at the bottom. The upgrade said it had completed successfully, is there a step I have missed?
Cheers
Nas
Im starting the upgrade again to see if I missed anything, I have the screen with the progress bar, so I know its doing *something*.
While its going, any ideas what I might of missed?
Thanks
Nas
I have a Dopod C858 that is from China. It currently has the Chinese version of Windows Mobile 5.0 and I am looking for an English upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0. I tried using the RUU for the HTC P4350 but it came up as a Model ID Error and I couldn't continue. I tried doing a CID Unlock using IMEI check but they don't support the Dopod C858. Does anyone have any ideas? Oh and one more thing. Currently, the Comm Manager on my Dopod does not have the WiFi option. I noticed after I did a hard reset that when it was loading the .cab for Comm Manager, it displayed something like no_wifi.cab. Did Dopod Asia purposely disable Wifi?
EDIT: I contacted IMEI Check and they helped me out by enabling my IMEI. My device is now supposedly "CID Unlocked."
QQ group 33128089
Any luck with finding this via QQ? I have the same need...
Here is what I did: I CID Unlocked my phone using IMEI Check and downloaded the DOPOD Rom file located here. After that follow these directions and you should have an english rom:
Tools you need:
==============- HexWorkshop from here
- the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
===========a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use:
"Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all
the
files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH"
(*.NBH)
RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from
context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row HERA10000
==!!! make it HERA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex
Workshop" from conext menu
Search for text "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
OVERWRITE "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the
file
ROM-Update:
==========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker **
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker
ask
for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel"
on the
unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The
screen on
the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most
probably
it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like
it
is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has
still
white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message:
"Data Crashed, contact service provider" (-*!NO PANIC!*-)
==Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time
select the key file normal way (full unlock process again).
The only problem is that the ROM is WM5 and there is still no Wifi.
Credit goes out to the IMEI-Check Team who provided me with the instructions!
Great, thanks for the info.
One question -- can you use the steps outlined to upgrade to WM6?
I was able to install WM6 before, using "aserg way", but the radio didn't work b/c the radio rom was not updated as part of the flashing process.
The way I understand it, if I can unlock my device and use the process you listed, I should be able to use a RRU which has an updated radio rom. After that, I should be able to sucessfully update to wm6.
What do u think?
I tried flashing a couple of WM6 roms but both of them didn't work. One stopped at 2% (Invalid Model ID) and the other one gave me an "Invalid Command." I currently have radio version 2.71.90, do you think it will work with WM6? If so, can u provide me with instructions on how to flash to WM6 using the aserg method?
Last time I tried upgrading to WM6, I found a cooked rom posted on this forum, and used 'aserg's' method to update it w/o updating the radio rom.
The method basically involves using a tool called 'awizard' along with a few other small utilities. The instructions should be easy to find on the forum here, let me know if you can't find them.
But before you do that, verify your radio is up to date. There is a minimum radio version you need to have (a search for radio rom on the windows mobile 6 forum should turn it up) before you can fully use a wm6 rom. The only known way to update the radio rom is to install an RRU package (which it seems like you've been able to do).
Currently, I'm waiting for my purchase & id to be validated with IMEI check.
Once that's done, I'll start with the steps you listed and try to get my radio rom up to date. After that, I'll select a rom, and do whatever it takes to get the rom installed.
I'll record all the steps I take as I do it, and post my results.
Don't worry -- I won't waste any time here, I've been waiting to update my device for a long time.
i'll be waiting right here. good luck!
oh and another thing, i am currently using this rom (ROM ver. 1.8.405.1). it gives you radio version 2.71.90.
It appears we need to find an RRU which includes a radio rom of 2.79 or higher.
We both currently have radio roms at 2.71.90, which is not good good enough for WM6.
I'm guessing we could use one of the posted upgrades (look in list of available official shipped rom's) and upgrade, even if we can't find one in english.
Afterwards we should be able to upgrade to wm6 of the appropriate langauge.
i read somewhere that one of the german ones has an updated radio rom. would you be volunteering to try first?
Yah, I found a few RRU's which contain a 2.79 version of the radio. I still need to wait for IMEI to verify me before I can continue with the process though.
btw... what time zone are you in? (I also bought my device in China, I live in Shanghai right now)
i'm in shanghai right now too!
i'm wondering if you can answer this for me. i don't know why some roms work and others don't. I currently have ROM version 1.8.405.1 WWE. Before that I successfully installed ROM version 1.7.707.3. I tried to install 5.4.405.1 but that didn't work. Am I supposed to install the updates in order of their release?
The order shouldn't matter. But, now I'm concerned -- because 5.4.405.1..etc is precisely the way to upgrdade to wm6 (since it has the 2.79 radio rom).
How did that update fail? Did you try updating after first unlocking your phone, or did your failure happen before you unlocked?
it gives me this after i try to upgrade: ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL
I've tried the steps you outlined above against several different roms... I get "invalid command" at 2% every time.
How frustrating... I'm guessing the steps IMEIcheck provided to update the 'updater' don't work with roms newer than a certain version.
Can you ask your contact there if they can provide updated steps which work with newer roms?
Seriously... i just paid like 40 bucks to unlock my phone.
I was _already_ running an english rom after flashing using aserg's way (an older htc wwe release), so I'm failing to see any advantage to having cid unlocked my phone.
I don't want to give up... I've already spent contless hours trying to figure out how to get past every minor error...
i'm in the same boat as you dude. this rom worked for me, but again, its version 1.8.405.1. None of the newer ones work. I just emailed my contact and i guess we can only wait and see what he can come up with. Another thing, have you enabled wifi on your device? I have a wifi button on my Comm Manager but when I tap it it tries to launch but then nothing happens. I read about a registry edit to fix this but my registry was different.
Objective :
Create an Update Utility based on the Windows Update in Official ROMs
Description :
My idea is to create a ROM that can be updated without the need of RUU we use now. For example, you have Core2.0n version of my ROM and since you installed it, I created another version, for example Core3. In order to update you'd normally have to download the latest ROM to your PC and re-flash your HTC Wizard.
I want to allow you to go online directly from your Wizard and check for new version. If new version found, then automatically download and flash. All you'd need is an Internet connection.
Limits/Problems :
There are some problems about this. This is where I need help.
Usually the PPC turns OFF and then the RUU writes the ROM. With the way I want it, the ROM must be written while the device is ON...and then it would do a Hard Reset in order to complete the Update.
I don't know yet if this is possible, but I am willing to try.
What I need :
People with Assembler knowledge
People with good PPC knowledge and understanding
Huge amount of luck
I remember someone here already tried to restore the Windows Update components. Unfortunately I can't remember who and if he succeeded or not.
I'll search for his thread and post any update.
The ORIGINAL thread is located HERE. Please feel free to join the development crew.
The idea looks cool, it will allow us to redistribute updates and fixes to our roms more easy
But we have to figure out how the windows update feature is working, and how it manages to flash the downloaded update
I think that it downloads the updates to the storage card (in most cases there is not enough space in storage to store whole rom image) and then instructs the boot loader to flash the file from the card (this way it will be logical)
Also that way will be similar for all devices not just the wizard.
So the rom cookers can personalize windows update settings to update their roms trough it (of course separetely for every device)

I think we'll try to do that. However I doubt that Microsoft intended to use a Storage Card for update. This makes me curious on what method they would have used.
Other problem would be error checking...We must know for certain the OS is not corrupted before attempting the update.
Maybe I didn't said it...but I will say it now. My intention is only to flash through the air an OS, that means no other components, like SPL, IPL , radio or SplashScreens will be altered by the Update so no chance of bricking the device plus making the whole process easier to accomplish.
Other idea is to study the way that security programs (anti theft) use they're software so that the data is included in the rom with a simple install.(they say the program will be there even after a hard reset...though i didn't tried any)
I am sad to notice so little enthusiasm from people around here.
This would affect chefs more than regular people but still.
Back to business...
Questions :
Is it possible to flash directly the ROM with the PDA turned on ?
If so, how can we access the ROM directly ?
How to use .pkg ? Can we make use of them ?
Considering the Update deals only with relative minor changes, this means we can leave the XIP out. We can think of new Builds as major upgrades and require the use of normal flash. The big problem..and unfortunately the thing I know less about it's managing to insert the new update in a very "raw" manner.
I am firmly convinced that few people here posses the knowledge to do this.
Please come in front and let's make this thing happen.
I could try to reverse engineer the default windows update but it would take a great deal of time and I would probably get stuck without some help.
P.S. I managed to find the thread I was talking about before. It's located here.
I think is a great idea my friend. However there are many things to think before trying to do it. First of all to flash the new files you shall need to make a pdoc write but i have now idea how can be made via the device itself.
Where are the "patches" being stored before they are updated?
May be the process of hard reset shold be manual. This are only some toughts.
i would help u as much as i can...
great idea !
the update can be on the storage card and one can put the device into
bootloader/update mode by running this little program in the windows dir
to switch it to the 3 color screen.
With this WM5torage program i can acces the romchip itself and write it.
not sure wether it messes up things.
not sure if this will delete contents of the storagecard itself...
another thought... why not make the updatepackage and let windowsupdate install it for you ?
I think the best way to procede is to find out how to make a pkg file (faria seems to know) and then to sniff what the windows update app does when connecting to the MS server and see if we can emulate that on a test server.

All your ideas are great. But this was exactly what i had in mind. It seems the easiest way....only so little time right now. So...where`s Faria ?
P.S. Sorry for late reply...i thought ppl don`t care and i didn`t checked the thread
Does somebody of you have such a pkg file?
As I understand it right, this file will be delivered by windows update to the client?
I never got an Update via Windows Update... Everytime I try, there are no updates available ^^
Sniffing the Windows Update would be easy, I think. I could bet that all this stuff is done via a Webservice. That's the I would do it
Has anyone ever updated anything using that Windows Update? It's highly unlikely it will download a whole new ROM, maybe just some cabs which won't touch the ROM altogether, just mess around in registry.
And who needs to keep the device on while updating if you'd make a hard reset afterwards?
It can even be done now...
any back-up program
a cook who's willing to release ROMS on some stable host (NOT rapidshare where address changes)
a diff utility to download only the parts of the ROM that changed
A small app which writes XXXXIMG.BIN to storage card and enters bootloader.
Much harder task is to get rid of ROMs altogether and take control of the only advantage they give: XIP. I mean, why don't use a tool to convert the new apps to XIP format making them a part of the ROM?
@anichillus
I can provide u with the package but it will take some time..u see i have WM6 Emulator..but cant make it to use Internet Connection of my PC..so the Update manager starts but doesent download (no connectivity)..will see what i can do
i got the internet working..but when i click update..it doesent give any packages..what now
Ok guys, I see a lot of people in here debranding the phones but dont know what they are talking about.
1: All the methods you have listed will not debrand a Orange UK handset, because the files that you should replace don't exist (all the files will start with 'ICON'). So far no one seems to have worked this out or has tried to find a workaround.
2: According to the SE rep I spoke with if you debrand your phone it may cause serious issues when Sony do send down updates to the device, I was told that debranded phones may to be able to be reflashed and may corrupt. When I asked why he said it had something to do with a new version of Android being made available.
I just thought I should let you guys know, and if anyone can try debrand a Orange handset (I will risk it)
Regards
UHAX
1. The Orange files are there.
2. Funnily enough the files used to debrand are from Sony Ericsson and we use SEUS which is also their tool.
Can you please clarify on point 1
Because I have one of these phones and I can tell you, they are not anywhere on my system.
I have tested this Both under XP and Windows 7
The DB directory only displays a number of small files all starting with 'ICON'
Did you update before looking for the files?
Did you use the new method with PC Companion?
There are no updates for the phone
Yes I have Tried both methods.
I am 100% sure.
And I make sure I just searched both systems, the files do not exist.
Any ideas?
Without updating you won't have the files.
Well any one care to make up a package for me, that way I can try force it to use them.
Who is game?
In order to get the files, you can reinstall your current firmware with SEUS, this will make it download the files to your db folder, and you're good to go. Worked for me.

As I have said
There are no updates available.
For the SEUS or SEPC
I have tried both methods.
Thats why I was wanting someone to post all the files!!!!!!!!!!!
you just have to use the REPAIR option. then they'll be downloaded.
No the repair function does not work
Look guys what part of this do you not under stand
THERE ARE NO FILES TO BE DOWNLOADED, the firmware on the Orange handset is different, there are no updates, you cannot repair them.
It does not work, for any of the Orange handsets
Why can you people not grasp this very simple concept, I need all the files to be posted so I can try force the handset to accept them.

Prove that it doesn't work because I can prove it works.
So you get no option to re-install the software on your phone after it tells you there are no updates available? The reason people can't grasp it is because your the only one that seems to be having a problem using the update service.
Well - if you do not get an Repair option using PC Companion - then you can not de-brand. Even IF you get the files they will STILL report as being the SAME version.
And that version REQUIRES you have a REPAIR option.
So NO REPAIR option = NO DEBRANDING!
So getting the files will NOT HELP YOU.
@uhax
Dude, watch your tone this is not the customer support hotline.
Sent from my X10i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Well I debranded mine and its working beautifuly!
Now the unlocking is another thing...
Well I can assure you it does not work with the Orange handset from the UK
I have now tested it with the White and Black Models and both have the same issue.
When you try to use the repair function it fails and returns an error, when i check the directory its just full of small files all starting with ICON.
It seems like the Orange handset are using a different firmware set, this firmware cannot be downloaded from Sony using there applications, so my request is that someone post all the needed files to do the flash, ie everything in the DB directory.
Download files with SEUS.
Uhax this does work on UK supplied Orange handsets, it worked on mine perfectly. Download SEUS, connect the phone and check for update, it will say there is no update but will give you the option to reinstall the current firmware, do that and it will download the files.
