8-11-2004 20:57 GMT: New version V2 uploaded.
I added a small archive containing the changed ExtROM files to solve the earlier reported errors (not updating ExtROM version and not making IIWPO un-installable).
Comment on IIWPO and making it un-installable: After having customized & installed IIWPO, you will have to do one of the following to make it un-installable if youre using the 1.72.902 ExtROM:
a. Another hard-reset
b. Running Version_172_902.cab from the ExtROM

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am d/l'ing right now and will be installing shortly...
One request... You might want to include the cab for setting up IIWPO in case someone is installing it into the phone.
edsub Thanks.
Question tho. Can I use this for T-Mobile USA and does it fix the MMS problem ?
asking because the version says NL, isnt that the Netherlands country code ?
Thanks again
Well from first look everything seemed ok.
THese are a few of the things I have noticed since loading.
1. The ext rom version # doesn't show up in the info
2. If you use the IIWPO then it still shows in the remove list
3. The new apps from the 187 version will not install no matter what you do. (I have tried adding the ver # in the Reg, both 902, and 187 (not at same time)) Niether worked.
These are the few things that I have found since loading. If I find any more I will loet you know. Other than these I think you havea winner here!
I was wondering about the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 packages, and why you didn't include or update to them? Was there some incompatibality issue?
Thanks and great job!

Is SRS included?
SRS is not included due to the fact that I don't see any use for it personally. Since it is an ExtROM installer, you could add it yourself.
The NL is only there because some sdetting are more or less specific to the Netherlands. I had feedback on my earlier 1.72.901 package that it worked for other countries (incl USA) as well. Be prepared that the date format will be dutch by default (easy to change via settings though).
Also MMS is suposed to be working (but I have not tried it due to lack of interest in MMS)
The ExtRom# is not showing because some bug in the Version_172_902.cab. Working on that now.
IIWPO not showing in the remove programs list is a bit more difficult than it seems if you install for the first time. Normally you would boot up the device with new rom. IIWPO is NOT installed at this point. Once you have customised & installed IIWPO, you will have to do ANOTHER hard-reset (ie run the ExtRom contents again) to disable the uninstall. You could force this by hand first time to re-run Version_172_902.cab after installing the customised IIWPO. BUT as this cab is not OK, it wont work anyway. Working on that now.
I did not find the time to look into the new O2 apps. If someone finds a solutiuon here, I am more than happy to includew it in a new version.
For the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 the basic reason is lack of time. I dont know what 'extra' new there is on bluetooth in the O2 builds? OS Rom 1.72 allready has an updated BT stack that fixes most open issues. I have no experience (& interest) in MMS / streaming MMS . . .
I suppose the issue with TomTom locking up without GPS enabled is not solved with this rom ?
I know: wishful thinking..........
@Pleun: Nope. I WISH I would have solved that one!!! FYI: I tested he new TomTom GPS 3.07. It doesnt solve any locking issue and next to that makes my Headset react very slow. Also the 'Bluetooth GPS' option that is supposed to solve the locking has gone, at least with my installation. Not advisable. I reverted back to TomTom GPS 3.03.
@all: I solved the issue of not setting the Ext Rom version and making IIWPO non-uninstallable. New version V2 will be up in 10mins (incl. incremental fix for all that downloaded the version from yesterday).
New V2 is up now. See first post in thread.
Plz keep posting comments to make this upgade better

I feel like my MDA2 is a little bit slower to respond not sure why! I added PocketMVP, Belkin Bluetooth GPS, Resco Explorer 2003 V5.0 and .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP2 for Pocket PC 2003.
I am having problem with Belkin BT GPS; I got it to bond, detect the COM port (COM5) and baud rate(4800) to use but my MDA2 hangs up and had to soft reset. Any idea why?
I will try to install one by one and see what's causing it and report here.
edsub thanx for me it works great its a great improvement!
machine seems faster and no more lock-ups.
Keep up the good work (ill be following you)
p.s only one thing my battery seems to give me no more than 4 hours of on-time
4 hours is very different from my (and others!) experience. The 1.72 rom should even improve battery life.
My battery lasts for about 1,5 days (not measured but recalled from my memory) with approx 1-1.5 hours on the phone and bluetooth permanently switched on . . .
were can I download this rom from?
from the first msg in this thread : RUU172902WWE_eDsuBsofT V2.exe
Hi me again, dont want to sound stupid but I've tried both Opera and Explorer and cannot find any executable file in the first post. Normally it appear in some sort of info box but none to be seen on this thread and the link to the previous one!?!?! Is this something to do with XP SP2?

You cannot download it as a guest! If you are a member of this forum you have to log-in before you can see the file you want to download. That's what I encountered before so just try logging in first.
Good luck!
THank you very much superperry. Should have registered before but was always too lazy.
I have put together rom upgrade 1.72.903
This thread can be closed. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652 for the new one
Edit: The new upgrade files are now available (see refered post)
An error need help please
I downloaded the files then followed the instruction below but now I get error
the flashing process
first the devicedata is obtained from the device, with HimaGetDeviceData.exe, this gets the operatorname, and language/country code from the extended rom, sector 2 of the BDK.
Then a tool 'HimaClearJumpCode' is executed, which erases the jump at the start of the kernel. causing the bootloader to start at next reboot.
the upgrade tool then connects to the bootloader of the xda, via serial over usb. ( port \\.\WCEUSBSH001 )
warning do not just run the 'HimaClearJumpCode' program, it will erase part of your OS rom, after which you will have to repair your device by running an entire upgrade again.

First I appologize for the delay in the availability of this ROM. I was out of town on some business, and the site was down again for a certain time.
To get down to the details, this ROM is the complete set of all three .nbf files, I chose the 2.06 NK.nbf because the cleartype fonts are way better than the 2.02. The radio stack included is version 1.18, and the extended ROM (ms_.nbf) is a customized 2.06.100a, which is a mixture of the extended ROM that dcs posted, the one that came with the 2.06 ROM from the mystery guy and the official Asian 1.60.44 ROM.
I had to remove a couple of the Asian telco provider settings because there was no more space left in the extended ROM since the new versions of the software had larger file sizes than before, and the AutoConfig for Asian telcos alone takes up a lot of space too.
I still included the Extended ROM Viewer and almost all of the newer versions of the software included in the extended ROMs posted by dcs and the mystery guy.
The following telco providers were removed (due to their file sizes being the largest):
1. 1010
2. One2Free
The Socket SDIO Wi-Fi that were available in the previous ROM I posted were also removed due to the lack of space, the SPB GPRS Monitor that was provided as part of one of the extended ROMs posted was also removed. The thumbpad driver is in the extended ROM but does not auto-install, since some times it causes problems, you may install it separately by just clicking on the cab file.
The files removed are included in the .ZIP file so that they may be installed separately if desired.
I would like to thank dcs,mamaich, the mystery man and all other developers who contributed to this endeavor.

I am not too clear about the problem, you flashed your device with the ROM I posted?
This did not happen to me during the multiple times I flashed my device and my dad's device.
I am a bit puzzled here, can anyone help in this matter? ANy similar experiences?
It's so difficult to download! :? I must have tried at least 6 to 7 times. Each time it just stop there.
hi people, i m new to this forum and new to xda2. Just wondering, how do u guys download and load up all the upgrades? hope u pros can give me some pointers.... thanks in advance
Finally managed to download the file. Do I need to do anything before installing the new ROM?
I had once tried to upgrade my unit (blame it on initial enthusiasm, I'd seen all these talks about upgrading to newer ROM versions everywhere on the net that I downloaded an upgrade 2 weeks before I actually bought my device) with a ROM version I had downloaded from O2's UK (The unit was bought from singapore/Honkgkong...Asia ROM presumably)site which naturally and the consequenses were very depressing , I was left with a dead machine on my hands and nobody I knew could be of any help. Anyway that had been taken care of a couple of days back when it reflashed at an authorised service centre.
Well that being that , now that its working fine and now that I see all this talk about windows mobile 2003 SE here I have this irresistable urge to try upgrading mu unit to run SE.
A couple of things before I try to get adventurous
1)How do I do a backup of of EVERYTHING ON MY MACHINE ( Original BASIC/Just out of the box/First time run software included ) So that I don't have to take a week off work just to get the unit reflashed.
2) How do I do a restore all of the backed up data on my device if the 2003SE upgrade doesnt work? From what I have learnt , it isnt anything like a regular computer where just about anyone can format boot and reload windows if it crashes.
I figure a dead PPC is like a regular computer with a dead bios.
I can understand that this post is about 5 times the length of a usual post here but I just had to get all my backup plans in place before I jump off a cliff.
you can use either the x-backup in the xda itself and making a complete back up to your sd or mmc card or make a backup via active sync on the tools menu

This is gonna be my first time to update the ROM of my device so some questions:
Did you include upgrade instructions on the zip?
How do I disable some of the .cab files on the extended rom? I dont like some of them.
Had any probs with this rom on Globe?
~ishtangli
What's the BT software on the new rom? Widcomm or MS?
Hello,
Been away from this board for a long time, thought I would share with you my final build for the XDA II O2 UK device.
Its been tested heavily over a year now and runs flawlessly from installation to operation. I have tested out various builds that have been posted on this forum but always found some issues, after compiling a list of the apps that worked I was able to put together the final build which includes the latest 1.19 radio file and various other updates such as Bluetooth and Camera files.
Bluetooth works fine for me, never had any issues with headsets however your mileage may vary.
The 1.19 radio is a boon, works better than I expected and I have noticed the voice quality is better now as well as not having the annoying connection issues with 1.18.
Installation is straight forward:
Reset your device to the boot loader screen (how to on this forum)
Insert the device in the cradle and run the following file:
HimaUpgradeUt.exe
Follow the on screen instructions, about 30 minutes later your XDA II should be upgraded to Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition with 1.19 Radio and some cool apps like a working Intellidialer.
When the device reboots, give the device up to a minute, it should initiate the auto install process and start to flash some installation messages across your screen, allow this process to complete (can take 5 minutes or more).
Once complete the device will reboot and you will have a working O2 Windows Mobile 2003 SE image
*I have tested this build extensively with the latest software and have not found any issues. The Intellidialer works like a dream, the whole OS runs so much faster and smoother, Screen Rotation works perfectly as does the camera.*
I have included the Extended Rom tools incase some of you want to unlock or Extended ROM as I did (useful when you want to drop in apps into the OS after an upgrade or at a later date.. you simply drop them into the extended folder and then do a hard reset to redo the OS intall (warning, you will lose your data doing this so back up first).
Here is a complete list of the files:
Album_2.5.cab
Blackberry_1.2.4.19.cab
CameraB10_Hima25_WWE.CAB
ClearVue3.4.381WWE_0616_Ozonup.sa.CAB

Hi guys,
I can't get the link to work (the page can not be found error), but will keep on trying. I upgraded to 2003SE from another source last week and I'm not pleased with the end result (no camera, some apps keep crashing).
Hope to bring good news soon.

@finalzero
Thanks, is running excellent
Flashed my T-Mobile MDA II
Have tried a few other 2003se but allways went back to old 2003
This version is excellent up till now (2 day's)
From the extended rom i removed (used ER2003Edit):
Blackberry
MemMaid
Truefax
After flashing restored the Phone buttons with original ones (don't like the O2 phone skin)
Thanks for sharing
p.s. it is running way faster then the original 2003
Tuurtje
Yep,
Speed is something I noticed and application behaviour, everything runs super smooth.
I installed SPB Plus and Pocket Informant which added the finishing touches, I doubt I will be upgrading for a long time now as this image is the best I have managed to put together.
Thanks to all the contributers, Sin and a few others, I made this image over a year ago so have forgotten where I got the bits from
Enjoy,

Hi Guys,
I upgraded over the weekend and so far all is well. Thank you very much!!
I originally went down this road as I thought there was a bluetooth control program included (bluetooth manager i think its called), but have no regrets doing it anyway.
Any idea where I can get something like it from?
I use a Parrot hands free in my car and now have a Bluetooth GPS, but have real problems getting the com port freed up when not in my car.
Once again, fantastic job finalzero, and thank you for the download help Flickster.

thank you
Managed to download, put the device into bootloader mode but am getting Error 120: country ID error after a couple of minutes after running the exe.
The device has an imate rom (Australia).
Any ideas how to solve the country id error? Detailed instructions would be great.
Thanks in advance, Paul
yes i am getting the same error.Even tried the step two but it ti gives the same.I am using an orange spv m1000 with rom 1.66.00WWE
Where can I find the Ext ROM files?
ok....
here's the deal:
I've been using an OEM-package in mylast roms for tomtom version 7.915.
This has been working without troubles.
Now I cooked a new ROM based on new 21018 XIP/SYS
The device really flies and everything seems to working flawless....EXCEPT tomtom.
When I start Tomtom, in a flash I see the gray bootscreen but then immediately I get the error: 'Unable to start. Not enough memory is available.'
But I have more then 130mb program memory available so that can not be the issue....
I did not change anything to the OEM-package. So I guess it has something to do with the new SYS.
Do more people have this problem and/or does somebody now the fix....
Thnx all in advance for your help!!
Greetz Merten
p.s. I used the search function of course and saw a lot of similar errors but no sollutions.....
I am running TomTom 7.915.9196 (OK via a cab) on 21028.1.6.0 (just installed yesterday)
This is Da_G's simple kitchen plus the updated pack posted in that thread this morning.
Don't know if that helps, but I would be very interested in an OEM for TOMTOM if you can get it working?

I got the exact same oem-package working in M-rom v1.71!
So it really beats me why I get the error.
I tried cooking the rom again but still the error....
I am still cooking up my rom and so will reflash tonight - if you can post up your tomtom OEM I will take a look and try and flash it and see if I can get it to work? Maybe a conflict somewhere that might not be on mine as I do chaneg a number of the packages.

Ok OEM can be found here in the map: packages
Package looks OK at first glance - hope to be able to try it tonight and will post back tomorrow with results.
If this doesn't work - you could try simply using the cab via UC etc as I do - I have checked and the cab of the same version in your OEM DOES work for me.
In fact, I think I might leave it in my UC, (but will flash tonight anyway with it just to see)

I had the same problem some time ago, and it turned out to be SKtools automated Free-Ram shadow service that was causing this.
You dont happen to have similar software running (something that clears your RAM on the fly)?

Nope, did not help...
OK - apart from the shortcut not being copied to programs - I didn't check the initflashfiles first - d'oh - it works.
I went to windows with file explorer and ran it from there - no problems.
Have flashed twice - it must be something else in your rom.
Does the page pool make any difference? or the filecache sizes?

I always change my roms pp to 32mb...can that make a difference? I did it in v1.71 and tomtom worked fine...
I don't know - I have been around here long enough to know that your skills far outweigh mine. If it used to work then I see no reason for the change.
All I know is that my rom is based on Da_Gs really clean latest (ie 5.08) from his simple kitchen thread (from his post near the end not the first post) plus Eras2rs package updates.
The only other packages I add are a few utilities and personal tweaks. I import an advanced config xml as part of the UC process but that just ensures the various settings in Advanced Config are set to advised etc.

Maps work(ed) fine..
btw I bypassed the error by removing the OEM-package and made it a cab which is installed during system configuration. It takes more system space but this way it is uninstallable....but it remains a mistery to me why the OEM does not work in this SYS and does in 21014 SYS...
HTC has realesed a Hotfix for TP's GPS problems...
Still haven't test it, but what have you, Chef's, to say about it?...
On HTC's Support page:
Software Download
This software is suitable for the following devices : HTC Touch Pro
Hotfix for resolving difficulties finding or locating a position when using GPS for HTC Touch Pro Release Date: 2009-05-25
If it is difficult to find or locate a position when using GPS, please download this hotfix to solve the problem.
Installation Instructions:
Follow the instructions below to download and install the hotfix on your device:
Make sure you have Microsoft ActiveSync® installed on your Windows XP PC or Windows Mobile Device Center on your Windows Vista® PC. You can find Microsoft ActiveSync from this link or Windows Mobile Device Center from this link.
Connect and synchronize your device with your PC via Microsoft ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile Device Center using the USB cable.
To download this hotfix select the hotfix below and the location closest to you then click Download.
Copy the hotfix, which is an .exe file, to your device. To install the hotfix, tap the .exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If you perform a device hard reset, you will need to reinstall the hotfix after the hard reset.
So where did this come from? Would be nice to have more information than what you've currently posted, please elaborate..
In addition, most of the newer roms have the aGPS working, so the gps issue is a moot point.
Which GPS problem I wonder, I can think of 4, one being aGPS (which works great now after 5.08 AT&T)
There's also the issue of 'speed lag' and then the issue of 'position lag', and finally the issue of 3rd party gps programs not showing satellites/losing fix every xxx seconds/etc.

Updated first post...
Anyone actually worked out what this does yet?
Ok, so this installs cleangpsdata.exe to \Windows (same ver that can be found on blackstone and other stock msm 72xx ROMS)
It copies a link into \windows\startup (same as the cleangpsdata package from blackstone does)
The functionality of the cleangpsdata program is simple, it opens the GPS0: hardware port and sends an IOCTL to wipe out the stored epheremis and other cached data in the chipset's NVRAM.
The problem this is intended to fix would seem to be extremely long startup times for gps (due to bad cached data that needs to be cleaned out)
With aGPS functioning it should have no effect; without aGPS it should only have an effect if your cached gps data gets corrupted for some reason and a quickgps re-download/re-inject won't fix it.
i'm wondering if it's works with WM6.5
So as a chef, would you recommend cooking in this fix and executing it in config operator or just cooking in clean gps and creating the startup link in app.dat??
Same effect either way (cleangpsdata as a package, i.e. from blackstone or this hotfix .exe)
I used to cook it in prior to aGPS being fixed.
Also, there's no relation to WM 6.5 with this hotfix, it talks to gpsdriver.dll, which is compiled independantly of the OS.
In addition, if you snag the latest HTC GPS Tool, there's a "Cold Start" menu option in it - sends the same IOCTL!
I do not use aGPS and am a bit scred to install this hotfix
I'm in Canada...I have no assistance server for AGPS...so would this help?
well I just tried installing it on my fuze which runs energyrom 3.0 the May 22nd build and it says "incorrect version, this hotfix is not compatible with your device.
Re: Not having an assistance server for AGPS
There are several publicly accessible servers available, check out the agps thread, as long as you have a data plan you should have no problem getting agps working with a few registry tweaks

Check your \windows folder; you probably already have cleangpsdata cooked in.
are you guys (who are using this hotfix) having the data plan?
or do you have entire map saved on the storage card?
Not that I've bad reception but after all this time from htc to post an answer to gps issue I had to install it and tried it..
Did not tested yet, tomorrow will post if I see any difference! Maybe it will take longer, cause it cleans the gps data all the time i reset. Or am I wrong?
@zenithcoolest: I use maps always on storage card... Data Plan is expensive and it's impossible to use with frequency!

You can use supl.nokia.com if you have a data plan, works great in Guatemala

It didn't do jack-squat for me. Well, instead of getting a fast lock like I was getting yesterday, I had to wait five minutes. So it did do something.
I've been struggling over the past few days trying to get the latest AT&T ROM working in a kitchen. I've tried three different workstations and two Virtual Machines assuming it was an environmental issue.
As a result, I decided to create a fresh new "old style" (PkgToolsBuildOS) kitchen on the assumption that something was wrong with my kitchens.
Noticed the following anomalies in the fresh new kitchen:
1) XIP.BIN / OS.NB.PAYLOAD
Noticed that when performing a Find Date/Rom Version on PAYLOAD or Find Date/ROM Version on XIP_OUT.BIN using XIPPORTEREX 1.2 rev32 , I get the following information:
Date: 06/May/2009
Rom Version: [K] InitDr
I've used the standard process that I always use which yields a working OS.NB.PAYLOAD and even validated it against Aruppenthal & Da_G's sk00ling.
Essentially: PP Unlock, NoCert Patch, PP = 6 MB ... same OEMXIP & MSIXP kernel for now just to try and get it to work.
2) Compiled ROM
If I change the ROM Version & update the Date (as per usual), the ROM compiles fine and boots. However, I am unable to connect to browse the Internet even though the 3G/H data connection appear indicating that a connection is established.
The ROM, OEM, SYS are all 20771 (5.511.502.2) for now just to try and get it to work using my Rogers SIM.
Has anyone else run into similar anomalies before? Cause I'd sure love to know what the heck I'm missing/doing wrong.
* EDIT *
Some of the "paranoid" measures I have done: Rootkit Scan, Full Anti-Virus Scan, Mem Test, Hard Drive Diag, CHKDSK, Restart, typical IT stuff ...
I'm not really sure what could be wrong, but if you need the dump set up for Visual, I had no problems dumping it and uploaded the untouched "Kitchen" to my FTP. Its labeled correctly as the build number 5.11.xxxx. I wish Icould help more, as you have helped me out a bunch.
EDIT: I did dump a ROM recently and got the same Version ID with xipporter as you have mentioned, but thought nothing of it. And I dont remember which it was, so sorry still not very helpful.
The ROM Version "garbage" is odd and IMHO should not be like that - your confirmation that you saw the same thing is very helpful ... at least I'm not losing my mind completely.
I'm trying to keep a PkgToolsBuildOS (5.3) and a Visual Kitchen (9.8) going for folks to use.
I had gone through all of the effort to port 21051 (SYS) and 20771 (OEM) in the hopes of posting it up before the end of the weekend ... then I started running into these unexplained issues and ended up scrubbing the lot.
I'm in the midst of recreating a new Visual Kitchen (9.8) and am discovering additional files in the OEM folder that weren't there before in older versions of the Visual Kitchen - not sure what it means yet; sure hope it doesn't mean having to recreate a kitchen everytime there's an update to the tools.
Cheers,

Several of the new builds are this way. Its because the date info has been moved. Until someone figures out which part needs hex edited we are stuck with stock dat Version changes fine.
Are you saying that we should *no longer* be changing the ROM Version and ROM Date?
In my case the Date "looked" ok but the ROM Version was bogus.
Which leads to these questions:
Does this also mean that PagePool Unlock, NoCert Patching, PagePool sizing are also in jeopardy of moving? (I know you or others won't have an answer for this one as it's in the hands of the OEM).
Does this mean that PkgToolsBuildOS kitchens and supporting tools are now at end-of-life?
Hate that when I forget to read the memo
UPDATE
Well, after an all-nighter ...
I can confirm that attempting to change the ROM Version and/or ROM Date via XIPPorterEX, PkgToolsBuildOS6.x-5.3, or Visual Kitchen 9.8 will indeed mess up the ROM - at least on the Raphael.

So am I correct in assuming that when I change the PP in the 21806 version (as posted by Da_G) it is not really changing the PP. I did wonder why the amount of RAM didnt increase

The PagePool seems ok on my 6.1 builds at the moment but Da_G could best confirm that as he's been on this "circuit" way longer than I.
An observation I made, while I've been working on this, is that the PP size on the AT&T 5.11.502.2 seems to be set 1MB ... at least that's what XIPPorterEX 1.2 rev32 reports when I issue a change to the PagePool to 16MB on a non-reduced ULDR os.nb.payload.
Hmmm, Wonder why when I change my PP to 0 I still only have 197mb Total instead of about 213mb total? Might have to do a test and set it higher to see if my free space decreases
UPDATE: Direct From Da_Grand Pubba ...
Just had a quick chat with Da_G and he confirms that there's been a change in the XIP modules.
At first glance, he noticed that the NK.EXE module has three (3) new resource strings. So in short, if the ROM Version happens to display [K] InitDr (which is [K] InitDriverGlobals) DO NOT attempt to change the Date/ROM Version.
He also had a quick look for Certificate Patching, PagePool Unlock, and PagePool resizing - these appear to be untouched at the moment.
HTH,
